Mrs. c.. Boone Taliaferro is the
possessor of a rare and beautiful
plant that was brought by the fam
lily from Missouri, and which has
been the object of assiduous care
and attention. 1t is a wax plant
and is Of the trailing variety that
is of slow growth and requires
the utmost attention in making it
strong and healthy. 1t requires five
years of growth before it blooms
and the blossoms are star shaped
with tiny petals that resemble crys-
tails and at night when under the
light shine like diamonds.
This plant has just begun to
bloom, aving the present four bios
SONS, with several clusters of buds
that will soon produce more bios
some. The blossoms expand in cir
cumference and when at their al.
are as large as a saucer and nave

her plant, and really has cause to
be, for it is a beautiful specimen
of vegetation that is of no common
variety 1t has been trained Into a

TRIBUTE TO MRS. HOWE.
Memorial Service Held Yesterday al
Howard University.

a memorial service was held in the Me-
mortal Chapel at Howard University
yesterday at the same hour set for the
funeral of Mrs Julia Ward Howe at Bos-
ton.
Rev. DR.. Wilbur Thirkield, president OF
the university, who had on one occasion
spoken from the same platform with the
author of The Battle Hymn of the Re-
public" at the Old South Church, Boston
paid a tribute to Mrs. Howe. He said in
part:
Mrs Julia Ward Howe was the noblest
embodiment of American womanhood. In
her was the union of beauty, strength and
gentleness. She was herself a battle
hymn, and yet the cry of the humblest
child started her tears.
Her Battle Hymn of the Republic
struck a note that rung round the world
1t is interesting to remember that the in
spiration for the hymn came here a,
Washington, after an. expected review OF
the troops was prevented by a sortie OF
the enemy. She heard the singing OF
John Browns Body and that very night
she awoke, and, as by inspiration, found
the lines of her great hymn marshaling
themselves in her brain. She hastily
arose and wrote them down. 1t was in
spired by her vision, and the hymn has
sung itself into the heart of America.
That hymn has fought and won bloodless
battles. 1t inspired marching armies: il
consoled prisoners of war, and filled them
with hope and patience. 1t gave a new
motive to the war. Henceforth men bat
tied not merely 70 rthe Union, but they
fought for the freedom of the enslaved.
Marching armies saw before them the
vision of the Christ as the great Captain
who was leading on, and fighting with
them"
To the accompaniment of the university
orchestra the students sang the Battle
Hymn of the Republic" at the conclusion
of the services.

ballots in November for republican can
didates, several colored republicans of
Washington spoke at a mass meeting

the Pennsylvania Avenue y. NJ. Z. Zion
Church in Baltimore last evening.
James W. Poe of Washington. ex-mem-
her of the North Carolina legislature and

republican tickets because all LEGISLATION
to disfranchise colored men has been sup
ported by democrats and the democratic
party was, therefore. not entitled TO the
votes of Colored men

inStOn. spoke along similar lines.

BIG PRINTING JOB.
G. P. o. tipping the immigration
Commission Report.

The government printing Office is work
ing on one of the largest and most COM
plete analyses of conditions among i'm
migrants ever attempted. Provision has
been made for twenty -four volumes, and
1857 fOlios of copy are now in hand.
which Is estimated at about one-half Of
the total number The volumes will con-
tain all the information gathered by the
commission appointed by Congress.
Another large work is the report of
the monetary commission. which is being
printed in parts devoted to financial con-
ditions in different countries. Fifty-one
parts have already been printed The
different parts" are written by noted
financiers in the countries represented.
1t is understood that the commission will
add considerably to its present review
before its report will be ready for pres
entation to Congress.
These two jobs have done much to keep
the printers from being furloughed the
past summer, it is said. The work of the
immigrant commission, particularly. has
added considerably to the activity Of the
big printery, as much of the work was
tabulations of households and employees.
