DEATH OF CAPT. vENABLE.
Formerly Held Offices Of Trust In the
District.

The death of Capt. Josiah L. Venable.
pioneer of the District Of Columbia, and for
many years a prominent citizen and ofhciai,
occurred at his home yesterday. zoos Penn
sylvania avenue southeast. The immediate
cause Of Capt venables death was cancer,
from which he had suffered the past two
years.
Capt. Venable was born In this city In
1928, and was therefore seventy-six years
Of age. During the period when Washing
ton was vastly widening its proportions and
assuming the aspects of a modern city
Capt. venable was a potent factor in the
work of advancing its progress, and in the
early part Of his career held many positions
of honor and trust in the District.
At the beginning of the civil war Capt.
venable enlisted on the side of the Union.
and received an appointment as first lieu
tenant of Company F, LIST District Volun-
teers. During the lifetime Of the late Gov
A. r: Shepherd, and before the present Dis
trict government had been organized, he
served in the capacity of councilman for a
number of years. About the time of Mayor
Bowen's administration he was fire COM
missioner, and later superintendent under
the board of public works
In later years, however, severe illness mas
forced him to retire to the privacy OF his
home, and his part in the affairs of the city
has been much less conspicuous His
kindly manner and genial disposition won
him many friends. His was also philan-
thropic nature. and he never failed to con-
tribute his share in all charitable and
beneficent causes.
His wife, six sons and one daughter sur
vive him. The six sons will serve pail
bearers at the funeral, which, according to
the expressed wish of Capt venable, will
be private. The services will be held at the
family residence at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. The six sons reside In this city,
and are as follows: David A. Venable, AL
bert V. Venable, Joseph w. Vena ole, Will
liam Venable, Charles C. venable and Clar-
ence Venable. The ceremonies will be con-
Quoted by Rev. Father O'Brien of st. Pc
ter's Church, and interment will take place
in Arlington.
The deceased for a number Of years was
a member of Farragut Post, G. A. r.,
was also connected with the Union Veter-
ans Union. 1t is thought probable that
both organizations will be represented at
the funeral.

Theosophy and Christianity.

That theosophy does not conflict with
Christianity was the key note of a lecture
delivered last night by Mr.. C. w. Lead
beaten. an English author and an advocate
of theosophy.
"Theosophy opposes no religios," he said,
but endeavors to harmonic ALL It consid-
ers all religions alike as efforts to state
the truth from different standpoints and
to various races and amid diverse circum-
stances. 1t would emphasize whatever in
any of them is pure and good and true, but
would reject whatever in any is impure or
unreasonable
He stated the leading ideas of theosophy
to be-
IT. God exists, and He is good He is the
great life giver who dwells within and
without us, and Is undying and eternally
beneflcent. He is not heard, nor seen, nor
touched, yet is perceived by the man who
desires perception.
"2. Man Is immortal, and his future Is
one whose glory and splendor have no
limit, =
g. A divine law of absolute justice rules
the world, so that each man IL in truth his
own judge, the dispenser of glory or gloom
to himself, the decreer of his life his re-
ward, his punishment"
