Commend. Washington. EXAMPLE.

A lecture was delivered yesterday after
noon al the Catholic University by Senator
HOar OF Aassac husetts, his theme being the
life anr character of George Washington
After speaking in an appreciative manner
OF the career of the first President the
speaker ended by calling upon his auditors
who aspire 10 take hereafter an honorable
part I'm the service OF the country to follow
in life the example and counsels of George
Washington. and 10 hold that man as the
enemy Of the country who shall counsel a
departure from them He pointed out how
in the past any departure from them by the
people has resulted in disaster, and how the
people had come back to them again, as
in tie case Of the events preceding and
following the civil war. So he predicted.
II will happen in the future IL in any spasu
of popular excitement in obedience to
any fancied party interest the people for a
time seem to forget Washington's counsel
to be led astray by the lust OF empire or
passion for conquest, or to have their eyes
dazzled by false and tinsel military glory
Alter the lecture Senator Hoar and Repre-
sentative Walker, who accompanied him,
were entertained by Mgr. Conaty and the
faculties of the university.

Results of Alaskan Surveys.

The large hall at the Columbian Unver-
sity was completely filled last evening by
an audience composed of representative citi-
zens to listen to an address by Mr.. Henry
s. Pritchett, superintendent of the United
States coast and geodetic survey, on The
Results of Recent Alaskan Surveys
The meeting was held under the auspices
of the National Geographic Society and
Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, president Of
the society, introduced the speaker.
The address was devoted almost entirely
to the work of the coast and geodetic sur
Vey in Alaska since 1893, and although, as
Mr.. Pritchett said. he had not accompanied
any OF the parties, he presented the sub
Ject in such an attractive way that the
lecture gave much satisfaction as though
he had related his personal experience. BY
the use of lantern slides thrown upon a
screen those present were given an excellent
idea of the people, climate and scenery of
the distant territory, and also of the man
ner in which the surveyors perform their
work.
Mr.. Prtchett said that there are still
many thousands of miles of uncharted coast
in Alaska and that it is the purpose of the
government to chart it as speedily as pos
sible.

Assault and Threafs.

John M. Jackson, a former resident of
Columbus, Ohio, was in Judge SCOTS court
today, charged with assault and threats.
The former charge was preferred by his
sister-in-law and the latter by his wife.
Policeman Sanford arrested Jackson last
night when he went to his wife's home at
BOT AZ street and attempted to enter by
way of the window. A few nights ago the
police were called to the house on account
of trouble, and Jackson INDUCED in threat
ening language. Last night when he went
to the house he grabbed his sister-in-law
and attempted to drag her out the door.
Mrs. Jackson said she could not live with
her husband on account of his intemper-
ance. When he called at the house a few
days ago, she said, he went to her room
and destroyed her shoes.
Jackson admitted he was separated from
his wife, but denied that it was because of
intemperance. He said he went to the
house and tried to climb through the win
dow because his wife refused to open the
door for him. A plea for leniency was
made on the ground that he intended leav-
ing the city, but ne was told that he would
first have to pay the penalty. In the case
of assault he was fined $40, with the alter
native of spending thirty days in Jail; and
a similar term of imprisonment was the
penalty in the threats case in event of his
failure to give security.

DIR. CHAPMAN's SERMONS.
The Evangelist Draws Large Crowds
of Washington People.

Large crowds attended the two evan
gelistic services which were conducted yes
terday by Rev. DIR. Chapman, the pastor
evangelist. In the afternoon the spacious
auditorium of the New York Avenue Pres
byterian Church was found inadequate to
accommodate all those who wished to at
tend. There was the usual song service,
followed by responsive Scripture reading.
DR.. Chapman preached a sermon from
second Peter, third chapter, and portion
of the eleventh verse: What manner of
persons ought ye to be-"
The evening service was held in the Cal
vary Baptist Church, and such was the
throng that it was found necessary to
close the doors twenty minutes before the
opening hour. The song sc: vice was con-
Quoted by Mr.. Smythe and the opening
prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. Hamlin.
DR.. Chapman's sermon was about the
woman's visit to Elijah on behalf of her
boy who had been sun struck in the har-
vest field. He emphasized the truth that
those who have not God are dead.
AT the close of the sermon large num-
Der of people signed the inquirer's card, ex-
pressing the desire to lead Christian life.

young colored man named Albert Chase,
who was tried in the Police Court today on
