Held Last Evening.
The meeting Of the Columbia Historical
Society last evening at the Shoreham was
largely attended. AS this was the last time
the members will come together prior to
the summer vacation the president of the
society, Mr.. John A. Kasson, took occasion
to speak of the past year, which, he said,
had been the most successful in the history
of the society. He said the public interest
In the aims and objects of the society had
increased, as shown by the larger number
that came to the meetings and the addition
OF new members to the rolls The society
had Issued, as usual, volume of publica-
tons, and had, in addition, betrayed the
cost OF preparing catalogue of printed
matter relating to the District, which was
now in the hands of the printer and would
soon be issued in book FORM 1t was an
encouraging evidence, he added, Of the
financial condition of the society that in
spite of these drains upon Its resources
the year was closed with a balance in the
treasury. He bespoke for the society the
interest and the assistance of the citizens
In enabling it to carry out its plans, which
in part contemplated the publication of ma
terial relating to the District, much of
which was still in manuscript form
The first paper of the evening was read
by Mr. Appleton P. Clark. jr., upon the
origin of the building regulations of the
city, in which he demonstrated for the first
time the interesting fact that the building
regulations. as announced by order of Cen
eral Washington in 1791. were based upon
those Of the city of Philadelphia Mr.
Clark also showed that the ideas of LEN
FAINT, the French engineer. were used in
framing some Of the regulations.
Mrs. Harriet Riddle Davis read a paper
giving an incident connected with the as
sassination Of President Lincoln, in which
she told with dramatic power an experience

MEMORIAL TO MOODY,

situations Founded by Him.


situations Founded by Him.
A conference of some of the friends of the
late Dwight L. Moody was held last even
ing in the chapel of the Church of the
Covenant for the purpose of considering the
best plan for securing the cooperation of
these in this city interested in endowing
the schools established by Mr.. Moody at
Mortified, Mass, and thus perpetuating
them as memorial of the great evangel-
ist.
1t is believed that no more appropriate
tribute to the name and fame of Mr. Moody
can be made than the placing of the fnsti-
buttons which Mr.. Moody founded, and with
which so much of the effort of his later
years was identified. upon a substantial
Foundation. Contributions to a fund for
this purpose are being received throughout
the country, and, in fact, wherever Mr..
Moody was known. and the conference last
evening was for the purpose of giving form
and shape to the local efforts along the
same lines.
1t was suggested that a statement be sent
to each minister in the city OF the purpose
of the fund. with a request that a mention
be made OF it in the pulpit. Another meet
ing will be held in the fall.
Among those present were: Rev. Luther
B. Wilson of Foundry Methodist Church,
Rev. Joseph Kelly of the Fourth Presby-
terian Church, Rev. F. D. Powers Of the
Vermont Avenue Christian Church, Rev. 7.
G. Butler of the Luther Place Memorial
Church, Rev. Randolph H. McKim of the
Hamlin of the Church of the Covenant.
Rev. 8. M. Newman Of the First Congrera-
tional Church. and Rev. Merrill E. Gates.

Supporting The Ticket"

Our esteemed Democratic to.the
core" contemporary, the Times-Demo-
crat, is still supporting the ticket"
by abusing the convention, discredit-
ing the candidates, denouncing the
platform and assailing Governor
Foster. 1t seems to be specially
aggrieved because the convention
declared in favor of the improvement
OF the mouth of the Mississippi, an
improvement which II carried into
effect by the Government will mean
much to the commerce Of New Or
leans, and which the commercial
community there has been vainly
clamoring for years. 1t seems to be
dissatisfied because the convention
rcsffirmed its allegiance to the Chica-
60 platform and there hasn't been
louder shrleker for the Chicago plat
form, "Souh of the Potomac and
Ohio Rivers than the Times Demo
crat has been. 1t is dreadfuly often.

Modern Minstsslsy.

Our readers will learn by reference
to our advertising columns that Cor
tons Famous Minstrels are coming
on January ii, comparatively few,
however, who refer to the advertise
ment are aware of the fact that these
minstreIs have history. the most
remarkable in the annals.
This big enterprise of Today was
organized in 1867, in New Orleans,
and has travelled ten months every
year since that time, filling all obliga-
tons. There is no show, either in
tue past or present, that has travelled
as many thousand miles, exhibited to
such myriads of people, or that has
won a more exalted or enviable repu'
tatiOn.

Prepayment of Poll Tax Not Neces.
sary.

On par with the canard that il
costs s2 to register, which we explode
elsewhere, is the statement that it is
useless TO register, as it will be ne
cessary to have prepaid ones poll
tax to vote at the coming April elec
tiOn.
There is absolutely no truth in
this proposition, and those who ad.
vance 1t do SO either through sheer
ignorance or for some ulterlor pur.
pose. The poll tax question cuts no
figure whatever in the coming April
election. Every registered voter will
have the right to vote in that elec.
ton, even though he may never have
raid the poll lax IN his life
The campaign liar had better take
broader survey Of the field and
invent more plausible lies. He
should not take tile people for fools,
lest he prove to be all the bigger
fool himself.

Why register Again ?

This question is often asked by
patriotic citizens who are impatient
at having to register anew.
Well, the best answer is, that the
law requires it as prerequisite to
voting at the primary and April
elections.
There is no getting around it {; one
must regi-ter to be able to vote.
Now; there are many reasons why
the law maker has required it, the
.,rst of which is that it was necessary
under the present state Of the suf
frage to strike with nulIity the Old
registration rolls, with negroes on it,
and start afresh. Those who regis.
tered in 1898 uu,ler section 5 did SO
to preserve their right of suffrage
they must new register like Others,
TO eaerc,se that right Their regis
rratlon is very simple, simpler even
than 1t was in thc first instance.

requisite TO the exercise of that right
