Toasts that paid tributes to art of brush and pen and that presented opportunities for missionary work among unfortunates in the National Capital marked the third annual banquet of the Catholic Women's Circle at the Shoreham Hotel last night. About ISO members and their guests sat around the board. In the gathering were many prominent Catholic clergy and laymen and lay women in the city. Mgr. Shahan Guest of Honor. Mgr. T. J. Shahan. rector of the Catholic University, was guest of honor. Mrs. James J. Cooper was presiding hostess and Mrs. Thomas H. Carter acted as toastmistress. Mrs. Margaret L. Coope, the founder of the Catholic Women's Circle and still the active director of its activities, presented the greetings to the guests, in opening the program of toasls. Rev. Dr. J. M. Cooper of St. Matthew's Church, the first speaker, gave credit to | the Catholic Church for work in bringing about a more widespread appreciation of art throughout the world. "The Missionary Field Among Washington Women" was the subject of Miss Frances Throckmorton.

Youth and the Parent. Judge William H. De Lacy of the Juvenile Court responded to the toast "Our Catholic Youth." He mentioned the lack of respect and disregard for authority prevalent among the American youth, j l'pon the home he placed the responhib'-l Ity. 1 "The youth reflect the environment of ; the home," declared Judge De Lacy. "Only ! the exceptional child rises above the 1 home environment. No parent has the < right to think his or her child is an ex- j ception." j "league of the Good Shepherd" was j the subject discussed by Rev. Dr. Wil- j liam T. Russell, pastor of St. Patrick s \ Church. The league, which has been ] formed at St. Patrick"s under the pas- j torate of Dr. Russell, he said, has three objects?to maPc its members better Catholics, to strengthen the Catholic Church 1 by giving a good example to non-Catholics and to pray for the conversion of I relatives and friends. I Miss Julia Hardey L&skey spoke on | "Catholic Books In Public Libraries." stie evnlninpd that a catalogue was about t<> be printed showing the Catholic books in the Public library of Washington. For the Trinity class of the circle Miss Fannie Sillers spoke. She paid a tribute to the founder of the circle, Mrs. Coope, and. as a token of the class* appreciation ' of the work of the founder, presented her with a book of art.

Festival to Commemorate Redemption of Children of Iirael Continue* Eight Days. The Jewish residents of Washington are preparing to usher in the festival of the Passover, which commences next SaturJay evening and continues for eight days. The holiday comes a little later than jsual this year owing to the fact that :his is a leap year in the Jewish calenlar, with thirteen months instead of :welve. The feast of Passover commemorates :he redemption of the children of Israel from bondage under the leadership of Moses to found a new home in the land >f Canaan. The distinguishing feature that marks the celebration is the total fLbstinence from leaven and the eating of jnleavened wafers, called matzoh, in remembrance of the unleavened bread which the Israelites made during their iiasty departure from Pharaoh's land. The Home Service. The feature which brings much joy into :he hearts of the little ones during the| festival is the "Seder." or "home servce," which is held the first two evenings. The Reformed Jews observe the "Seder" >nly one evening. Seated about the table ire all the members of the household, ind many come from afar to join their family and friends in the festivities of 'Seder night." Indeed, to many families :he night is a grand reunion. The scene j s inspiring, for at the head of the table ; fits the father of the household upon a | rushion. dressed in a white shroud, ac- 1 ordlng to the custom of freemen in the jrient, and relates the fascinating and jver-interesting story of the flight of the . hildren of Israel from Egypt, while tlie ' -emalning members of the family follow i the tale as told in the books called 'The rlagodath." A morsel of grated horseradish or other 1 jitter herb is eaten, symbolic of the biter sufferings and pangs which their fore, athers endured during their bondage 1n Sgypt. The herbe is dipped into a collodion of nuts, cinnamon and wine, symjohsing in color the clay bricks the rewa made. However, the "Seder1 is j jurely a joyous oocadon. No stranger s turned away from a Jewish home on Seder" night. The feast Is followed by he singing of quaint traditional folklore tongs, to the delight of the little chtlIren. and the remembrance of a "Seder" a la wish child Is never eradl I IJS J 1 ' ~ :ated. The first two and last two days or Passover are holy days, and work is gcnjrafly abstained from, while the four lays between are half-holidays and work s permitted. On the second day of Pass>*er the counting: of Omer commences. In all forty-nine days are counted, and jn the fiftieth day the Feast of the Weeks Oeglns. HORSE ON A RAMPAGE. Wrecks Trolley, Injures Five Men, Holds Up Train. SPRINGFIELD. Ohio, April 19?Having wrecked a trolley car, smashed a i wagon into splinters, injured five men anl held up a Big Four train, a horse ended its spectacular career here last night 'by being killed with a pick and buried in the Mad riwer. The horae waa originally attached to the wagon in which were seated the five men It started on its spree by backing the wagon into a traction car. one .side of which it demolished. It then kicked the wagon to pieces and distributed its five occupants in various parts of the road, two of them being seriously hurt. Freed from the wagon, the horse dashed along a railroad trestle, where it fell with a broken leg in front of an oncoming Big Four train. The train was stopped and the horse dispatched with a pick, the only weapon available. The whole train crew then was called into action and hurled the body of the animal into the Mad river. Howard H.

Ambler, Both of Baltimore, the Other Member*. ANNAPOLIS. Md., April 19.-Gov. Crothers yesterday appointed the public service commissioners, the automobile commissioner, the conservation commissioners and a member of the supreme bench for Baltimore city. The appointees are as follows: Public service commissioners. Judge j James Alfred Pearce, Kent county, chairman; W. W. Abell, Baltimore; James M. Ambler, Baltimore. Judge of the supreme bench of Balti inui r ciij, il. m iiiui wiiuiij/. Automobile commissioner, John E. George, Queen Anne county. Members of the conservation commission, Bernard N. Baker, Baltimore, chairman; Col. William S> Pmvell, Elllcott j City; Col. Charles H. Baughmap. Frederick. Politicians Not Wanted. In making the announcements the governor said: "I have tried in making these appointments to select the very highest type of men in the state. I have tried to get men who are not only not in politics, but who have no political ambitions of any i sort. I want to say that I have not I spoken to any one of the men named on j the subject. I have not asked any one ; of them whether he will serve 011 the j commission or not. I have taken it for I granted that no publie-spirifed man in Maryland will decline to accept appoint- 1 ment on the public service commission ] when he realizes the service he can ren-. der to the people of the whole state." As most of the public service corporations are In Baltimore the governor at the ' beginning decided that two Baltimoreans 1 should be named on the commission. Salaries of Commissioners. Within the next few days the governor , will designate the length of the term of , each of the commissioners. Under the provisions of the bill one is to be named for two years, another for four and the ] third for six years. After that all com- ] raieeloners are to be appointed for a full 1 term of six years. By this plan the term of one commissioner will expire every , two years. This was done to avoid any ] sweeping change in the personnel of the commission, thus suddenly changing its ' policy. It is expected that Judge Pearoe will be named for the six-year term. As chairman he will receive $6,000 a year, 1 while the other commissioners will re- < ceive SS.OOO each. Th ? governor expens to go to j\ewi York to Investigate the workings of the | two commissions there. He may be accompanied by the members o* the Maryland commission. One of the first employes to be selected by the commission will be that of secretary. Justice Alva H. Tyson of the northwestern district was mentioned for this place yesterday. e PUGILIST COLE DEAD. Skull Fractured by Fall After Dodgers' Blow on Solar Plexis. PHILADELPHIA, April 19. ? Frank Cole, a light-weight negro pugilist of this city, died in a hospital today from injuries received last night in a boxing bout with Stanley Rodgers at the boxing club managed by "Jack" O'Brien. Rodgers was held without bail by the police to await the action of the coroner. The re-feree and several witnesses were also held. Cole was injured in the third round. He received a solar plexus blow which sent him to the mat, his head striking with terrific force. The crowd began cheering at the apparent knockout. When a physician failed to bring Cole back to . consciousness the spectators were diamlssed. The fighter, was removed to the hospital, where it was ! found he had sustained a fracture of the skull.

DEMOCRATS ARE HOPEFUL Republican Candidate in New York District Is George W. Aldridge. Old-Time Leader. ROCHESTER. N. Y., April 19.?The people of the thirty-second congressional district of New York state, comprising Monroe county, are today choosing a representative in Congress to fill the unexpired term of the late James B. Perkins. George W. Aldrldge, former state superintendent of public works, a member of the old state railroad commission, and for the last twenty years the acknowledged leader of the county renithliran nrcania'.ation. Is the renuhlican candidate. His democratic opponent is James S. Havens, an attorney, who has never held public office. This special election marks the culmination of the liveliest campaign ever waged in Monroe county. This district elected its last democratic congressman in 181HJ. The late Representative Perkins carried it two years ago by a plurality of more than 10,000. If the democrats win today they will accomplish one of the most remarkable overturns in i political history. Tariff Reform Platform. Mr. Havens is for tariff reform, while his opponent stands pat on- the tariff I policies of the republican national administration. What gave the campaign its fever heat, however,- was what the democrats called the "moral issue," the question of "bossism" and of the personal fitness of Mr. Aldrich to sit in the House of Representatives. The evidence that Mr. Aldridge received a check for $1,000 from a representative of the insurance companies for the alleged purpose of influencing legislation is an argument his opponents have kept before the people in the form of a photographic facsimile of this oheck, mailed to every one of the 60,000 voters in the district. Betting odds were about 5 to 3 on Aldridge. Mr. Havens' campaign manager predicts that he will carry the election by 7,000. Mr. Aldrich's manager prophesies a substantial plurality, but names no figures. The socialists and the prohibitionists have candidates In the field, but this vote is not exuected to have much bearing on the success of the republican or democratic nominees. TWO ARBITERS CHOSEN. Plan to Settle Controversy Between Southern R. R. and Telegraphers. In the controversy between the Southern Railway Company and its 2,107 telegraph operators, which has been pending for several days before Chairman Knapp of the Interstate commerce commission and Dr. Charles P. Nelll, commissioner of labor, as mediators under the Brdman act, the railway company selected J. S. B. Thompson of Atlanta, Ga., as its arbitrator. and the telegraphers J. J. Dermodv, a vice president of tne Order-of Railroad Telegraphers, as their representative. The arbitrators will meet in this city Thursday to choose a thira arbitrator, or umpire. If they should disagree. the third arbitrator will be appointed by Chairman Knapp and Dr. Nelll. The arbitrators will determine the wage scale and questions concerning the hours of labor.

Discussion of Resolution of Congratulation to Recently Elected Socialists?Divided Vote. "There is as much anarchism in Congress. judging by the speeches of representatives and senators and newspaper reports, as there is anywhere else," declared Sam De Nedrey, secretary of the Central Labor Union, at the weekly meeting of that organization last night. The matter under discussion was the passage of a resolution to send telegrams of congratulation to Mayor-elect Seidel and Alderman-at-large Victor L. Berger, who were recently elected on the social 1st ticket at Milwaukee. Mr. Lie Nedrey, who introduced the resolution, stated that Berber is a union printer and Seidel is a union pattern maker, both carrying working cards of their crafts. Spirited Debate Follows. The intoduction of the resolution pre"ipitated a debate. P. J. Ryan opposed the resolution, as he said it would be g'ven wide publicity and would therefore injure the cause of organized labor. "Shall we indorse an anarchist because lie carries a card in his pocket?" a delegate shouted. "What do you know about anarchism?" Mr. De Nedrey asked. "Don't you know there is anarchism in the 'House and Senate?" Delegate Rodier supported the resolution, declaring that Seidel had been lighting more for the v'olfare of Milwaukee than for selfish purposes. He declared Seidel's victory the culmination of one of the most admirable political struggles in the recent history of the country. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 13 to 8. Mother Jones Makes Address. The meeting of the central" body last night was addressed by Mother Jones, who has gained a reputation in all parts of the United States as a friend of the rtliners. She told about labor conditions in Mexico and asked the support of the Central JL?abor Union in her tight to gain the freedom of -Mexican revolutionists* and' said: "Why President Taft should go to Mexico and shake hands with that pirate T"Vi 1 ? ? is more uuui l or any (Hie else with a level head can explain." A resolution by P. J. Ryan, chairman of the legislative committee, providing that the bill introduced by Representative Wiley be indorsed, was passed. The bill provides for the establishment of a college of agriculture and the mechanic arts in the District. COOPER TO LEAVE HOUSE. ????? 1 Pennsylvania Member Announces Purpose to Retire. Representative Allen F. Cooper of Uniontown, Pa., chairman of the House committee on printing, has announced that he will not be a candidate for reelection. Mr. Cooper has no serious opposition for renomlnation. and bis dis- j trict is safely republican. Mr. Cooper's retirement is voluntary, and his reasons are contained in the following statement from him: ''I am now serving my fourth term in Congress and during this period nave been compelled, by degrees, to give up my persoi*al and professional interests to devote myself to the duties of the office. I have felt that I owed it to my constituents to do so. Now I feel that I have earned the right to take a rest and to devote some time to my private i affairs." Sheriff J. W. Galusha and .Squire Brlggs of Dinwiddie county, Va.t narrowly escaped being drowned in Saponey creek, which is higher than it has ever been known before. They attempted to drive across the stream in a buggy, which was carried down the creek. The saloon of Harry E.

LISNER, CURKSON QUITS OFFICE RETIRING SURVEYOR WARNS VTDTntT.TAAV PAP.TV 1 In a Critical Condition, He Declares, and Must Pat House in Order. NEW YORK, April 19.-Mistres? Olivia Clarkson, four years old, beautiful and bewitching with her baby blue eyes and ] dimpled face, assisted her grandfather. Gen. James S. Clarkson, surveyor of the port of New York, tp retire from ofllce yesterday noon, at the expiration of his 1 eight-year term. j While Gen. Clarkson was bidding farewell to the employes and many friends ' Mistress Olivia made her appearance. Clad in a pretty white frock and with a blue ribbon holding back a mass of ^ golden curls, the child ran to the side j of her grandfather and throughout the j ceremony remained there, holding out i her plump little hand to all of those who shook the hand of the general. Before Mistress Olivia entered the room there was a feeling of depression. Tears were in the eyes of nearly every man present and many did not wait to hear what Gen. Clarkson might have to say upon leaving office for fear their feelings would overcome them. But when Mistress Olivia entered, smiling with delight at the thought of having a place i in the "party," this*feeling of depression was dispelled. The child had something nice to say to every one. Warning to Party. A*er the ceremony Gen. Clarkson is- j 1 sued a statement to the preas, in which ' he told how the office of surveyor has 1 been shorn of its responsibility. He also sounded a warning to the republican 1 pari>. His statement, in part, is as fol- 1 lows: j "Aside from the severance of personal i relations in the surveyor's department I j l am little short of delighted at leaving , public office, because of a natural prefer- , ence for that freedom of speech which is not, theoretically, permitted to those in tne federal service. 1 believe the coming three years hold more opportunity for political discussion than In a generation past. - i "Formerly we republicans made our campaign by straight-from-the-shoulder , ^politics, by actually and honestly gaining for the party a majority of the votes I ' in the nation. We then had little money 1 on which to make a national canvase. In the Blaine campaign, for example, we 4 had less than f400,000, half of which was ; contributed by Mr. Blaine himself, wtth 4 which to carry on one of the bitterest fights In American political strategy?as against the millions used in recent years. ( In a Critical Condition. i "The republican party is, in my opinion, 2 in a more critical condition than at any 1 time in its history. What it needs to do J now is to retrieve its mistakes of recent yfears and not to enter into explanations. "The only way in which the republican party can hold its own is to put its house in order without fear or favor all along the line, no longer confining Itself j tn iaanai lmspiv sordid and mercenary. and thus relieve Itself from Its present position of self-defense, the most humiliating pass in the destiny of a political party." ADOPTS PUBLICITY BILL. ? f! House Declares for Complete Show- a ing of Campaign Expenses. * The McCall' bill providing for the publicity of campaign contributions was passed by the House yesterday afternoon with a rush. Only one member, Representative Mann of Illinois, the "great objector," voted against it. Only a short time was required to pass the measure. Twenty minutes was allowed for debate on each side, but only Mr. Mann spoke or voted in opposition. He declared that, like the Sherman antitrust act, it would be found that the provisions of the bill would far exceed the purposes of its advocates.
