Why waste time and means in devising ways to stop fires when it it is in yonr power to prevent them? Why use inflammable paints that was instrumental in causing the late affliction in this city when pyrodene lire-proof paint, produced in all colors, can be applied at no greater cost than lead and its covering capacity 30 per cent more? This paint is only new to this country, but is largely used on the other of the Atlantic, and most of the leading theaters of London have adopted it.

The rights for the American continent have been bought by the American Aquol and Pyrodene Paint company, whose factory is located at 422, 424 and 426 West loth street. New York city. Mr. Ferris, the company's representative, is at the Kbbitt house for a day or two to convince any one who to be satisfied in regard to the perfect inflammability of wood covered with pyrodene liquid and paint.

the omiort or the movement, or which PRESIdent WELLINO IS OF LEARNING TAETNO ACTIT1 INTEBEST IS THE ALREADY PLEDOED. Washington is moving toward its destined position as the center of higher education in the United States along several distinct lines. The Koman Catholic university is an accomplished fact, the project of a Methodist university is well under way and for a considerable time the Baptists and members of other denominations interested in higher education have been working quietly but vigorously to build up in the city a Protestant university, using Columbian university as a foundation. Publications have been made from time to time concerning measures which the friends of that university have been taking for its development in the direction of advanced and postgraduate studies. In order to learn moro of the movement a Star reporter questioned President Welling concerning it this morning.

THE ORIGIN OF THE MOVEMENT. "The present movement in behalf of the university," saia Dr. Welling, "originated in the month of December, 1838. In the latter part of that month a meeting of the board of managers of the American Baptist education society was held in this city. I was invited by the board to make a statement concerning the opportunities and wants of the institution and, in voluntary response to this exposition, the board appointed a speciui committee of five gentlemen, consisting of tho liev.

Frank M. Kills. D.D., of Baltimore, the Rev. George Dana Boardman. D.D., I.L.D., of Philadelphia, the liev.

H. L. Morehouse. D.D., of New lork citv, the liev. A.

C. Osborn, D.D.. of Albion, N.Y.. and Prof. W.

K. Harper, Pn.D.. of Yale university, with instructions to inquire into the facts and possibilities connected with tho 'university in the city of Washington. That committee, after making a visit to Washington. after inspecting the appointments of our new university building and verifying the statements currently made concerning the educational facilities of the national capital, joined unanimously in a report which exhibits, under fifteen distinct heads, certain salient features of the universitv in connection with its 'unparalleled facilities' for educational work of tho highest grade.

The report concludes with the following resolution: "llesolved. In view of the foregoing facts concerning an institution already established, and of the unparalleled facilities offered in Washington for university studies, under the guidance of Christian instructors, your committee. confident in the belief that its recommendation will not interfere with other educational enterprises, unhesitatingly expresses the opinion that the effort of tlie trustees and overseers of Columbian universitv to secure an adequate endowment of the institution should be. and is, commended to the favorable consideration of the denomination. "The report of this committee was submitted to the board of managers of the education gocietv at a meeting held in Boston on the 17th of May, 1889, and was made a special order for an adjourned meeting to be held in the following month of October.

That adjourned meeting was held in the city of New Vork on the 2d of October. 1889, and. after full discussion, the report was unanimously adopted, in connection with the above-recited resolution." AS APPEAL TO FRIENDS OF LEARNING. "What was the next step?" inquired The Star reporter. meeting of the board of trustees and overseers of the university was called in the latter part of November last to take formal measures in furtherance of the movement.

The form of an appeal to the 'friends and benefactors of liberal learning in the United States' was then drawn up and adopted by the authorities of the university. It was resolved in the first instance to ask for the addition of to the present endowment of the university, and a committee of the board was placed in charge of the enterprise." "What has been tne cause of the delay?" "In the first place." answered Dr. Welling, "a 'committee of advice and the members of which reside in every psrt of the Union, had to be formed, but the principal cause of delay results from the fact that it was not deemed judicious to make an effort in behalf of the Colombian university until the million of dollars appointed for the creation of a college in Chicago had been raised under the auspices of the education society. That sum lacks now only a few thousand dollars of completion." "What is the present condition of the university? "asked The Stah reporter. "It was never so flourishing," said Dr.

ling. "The aggregate number of our students in ail departments is over odd I believe." NATIONAL IN ITS SCOPE. "Will the university be sectarian in the enlargement proposed to be given to its operations?" "A sufficient answer to that question," said Dr. Welling, "may be found in the memorial made to Congress by its founders. They stated that thev desigued to found an institution which should be of national consideration and benefit, as it was national in its seat.

A majority of our governing board are Baptists, but all denominations are represented in that board, in our faculties and in ou' students." "What is the prospect of success ill your enterprise?" "The prospect is good." Dr. Welling said; considerable sum has been already pledged." DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN. He Passes Away After a I'sefiil Life at the Age of Seventy-Seven Years. Mr. Zebina Ellis, one of Washington's oldest citizens, died yesterday afternoon at his home, 47 II street northwest, after a painful and lingering pal alytic iiluess.

lasting more than four years. He has been slowly siuking for some weeks and his death was not unexpected. He was unconscious at the time he breathed his lftst. and grouped around his bedside were his wife and all but one of his nine living children. Funeral services will be held at the house this afternoon, after whiefa the remains will be taken to Glen's Falls, N.Y..

for interment. Mr. Ellis was seventy-seven years of age. having been born at Glens lalls. Warren county.

N.Y.. in 1813. For many years he was engaged in publishing a newspaper at Glens Falls. At the breaking out of the late war he closed his oftice and with his four sons enlisted in the armv. He served until the battle of Gettysburg, where he was taken a prisoner in the accoud day's fight.

He was paroled and afterward was discharged and came to Washington and enterod the Treasury department as clerk in the sixth auditor's office, where he gradually rose by promotion until he was made disbursing officer of that bureau, which position he filled for several years, when he was made chisf of the collecting division. This position he held when stricken with paralvsis four years ago. Mr. Ellis was prominent iu temperance circles, being one of the forumost members of the order of the Sons of Jonadab in this city. Dinner of the Nationalist Club.

The Nationalist clnb of this city celebrated the completion of its first year of existence last night by an enjoyable banquet at the St. James. Ninety guests seated themselves at the table, including both ladies and gentlemen. After dinner the president of the club, Mr. W.

W. Wright, opened the intellectual feast with a brief sketch of the history of the organization. The secretary, Mr. Clancy, then enlarged upou this topic and gave a most interesting talk oa the subject of economic and social reform. Addresses were made by Dr.

THE PROPOSED UNIVERSITY.

Methodist Episcopal Pastors and Their Views on the Subject. "The movement is sagacious," said Rev. J. p. right, pastor of Wesley chapel, to a Stab reporter today, discussing the proposed establishment here of a national university under Methodist Episcopal auspices.

"Since the end of the controversy relative to the removal of the seat of government it has been evident that the capital was destined to be the center not only of national affairs bnt of literary and scientific study. Boston's literati leave no succession; the meaning is the hub is moving southward and will rent on Washington. That this is inevitable may be accounted for in many ways, principally by the rapidly growing facilities fouud here for advanced education. The magnificent building now erecting for the I ongressional library is a splendid addition to such existing institutions as the Smithsonian, the national observatory, the government's museum and bureaus of scientific research, which are unequaled in their opportunity for massing the most elaborate lines of specimens, and which afford increasingly large facility for research in almost all departments of This Methodist Episcopal movement, of which Bishop Hurst is the soul, is a keeping step with the nation's progress. The entire Methodist church, with its 4.600.000 communicants, it? population of 16,100,000, is today, as ever, under the influence of the spirit of the many men great in learning whom she counts among her and of this whole tho most aggressive in educational matters is tho Methodist Episcopal family, which is equal iu and enterprise to this great project." WHAT DR.

PRICE SAYS. "Indeed lam heartily in accord with the plan of a proposed university," said Rev. J. A. Price, D.D., of Waugh chapeL "In my opinion such an institution should have been founded years ago and I know it has been talked of for a long time among Methodists.

It has now been taken up and pushed in such a war that there can be no doubt of its success. Bishop Hurst is one of our leading scholars and is a man of splendid executive ability and he will see it through you may be sure. When Drew seminary was financially embarrassed, owing to the failure of Mr. Drew, Bishop Hurst took the helm and brought the seminary through its difficulties and placed it upon a solid foundation. The cnoice of Washington for the location of tho new university was the wisest that could possibly be made.

It lias always been recognized an a suitable place for institutions of this sort and is rapidly becoming thfeaenter of learning in this country. In this connection 1 may say that the question of moving Dickiuson college to this city lias received consideraole attention and will probably be revived now during the talk of tho subject of a new university." I1EV. MR. BKILEY SUBK OF SUCCESS, Rev. Mr.

Asbury R. Reiley of Grace M.E. church said to a Star reporter this morning: "The scheme of founding a university in this city ban long been talked of among Methodists throughout the country and now that there seems to be a good chance of its being carried into effect we must all be pleased and encouraged with the interest it has aroused on all sides. 1 he ground seems to have been so thoroughly covered by the various interviews in The Stab that I do not know that there is anything left for me to say. I heartily indorse every word that has been said in favor of the plan and would do all I could to make it a success, lliere is every reason to feel sure that the plan will be put into successful operation In the near KebindliiK the Land Records.

Recorder Bruce, having in his inspection of the records of his office found some six hundred volumes of land records and a number of the old indices in nead of rebinding, has arranged to have the work done. Formerly a 1 book binder was kept constantly employed in I work for the offlco and had his bindery in the building. It is the intention of the recorder to have the books at once put in good order and to keep them so and not wait for an appro- priation. He has already selected Mr. Weide- man to do the work.

This will be good news to the title examiners. Transfers or Real Estate. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: A. 8. Caywood to J.

They were taken from their neglectful mother in South Washington about six mouths ago. One photograph was taken at that time and the other was taken last week. A complete transformation is shown. When the first picture was taken tho children were in rags that scarcely covered them. They were hungry and looked as though they had not been washed for weeks.

The pictures taken last week show clean, healthy and happy-looking little ones. The Metropolitan Church Pastor. To Editor of Tbe Kvexino Stab: The article in last evening's Stab headed "They Wish to Retain Their Pastor" is not correct. The trustees of the Metropolitan church have no more authority to call the pastor th-n the stewards and leaders have. I understand no such meeting of the trustees has beeu held.

1 he meeting on Saturday evening, to which all I official and non-official brethren within reach were unofficially invited, without regard to opinions as to choice of pastor, contained twenty persons, fourteen of whom were trustees, stewards, leaders and local preachers. All agreed, except two, who refrained from ex: pressioa of opinion, that the present pastor was not the man, and three-fourths of those present favored a change this year. Yours truly, Tiios. G.

A Cold Night to 81eep In the Park. An old man named James Roach got drank yesterday and when he reached Monnt Vernon square last night he was so weary that he could get no farther and made his bed on the grass. Policeman Carson came along and escorted the sleeper to a warmer place. When his ease was called in the Police Court this morning Roach said he did not remember what happened last night He was fined li or two weeks on the IN GRAND CHORUS. The Marked Success of the Choral Society Concert.

The Washington Choral society opened their seventh season last evening iu Music hall with a performance of Max Brnch's "Arminius." It was a very considerable undertaking and the success with which it was carried ont was of snch a sort as to speak much for the zeal and enthusiasm of the chorus in mastering its difficulties and to give a most convincing guarantee of the successful season that remains before the society. "Arminius" is a work in the most advanced tendency in music and is above all else its quality. The composcr has abandoned those symbolic formal elements which enter so largely into the composition of the religious oratorio of the accepted type; he lias striven to picture as vividly and as directly as possible the stirring scenes of the rugged old legend that forms his subject, the elemental emotions and exalted mysticism that enter into it So his materials are broad and massive choruses full of dynamic contrasts and effects, worked out in rich and varied harmonics, an orchestral accompaniment glowing with color and brilliancy which, indeed, seemes designed to re-enforce and intensify, to give contrast and relief, rather than merely to accompany, and an abundance of passionate dramatic declamation. While the chorus is thus relieved of certain difficulties in the way of contrapuntal complications it is faced by other and perhaps equally great ones, to secure a strong, vivid, coherent rendering. The way it met them last evening resulted in a performance of splendid effectiveness.

Its mastery of the work was evident at every point, and there was no single moment of doubt in the progress of the work from the opening bar to the last, so far as the chorous was concerned. Its body of tone was superb, fine not only from the volume that numbers give, but rich, well balanced and fresh in quality. In the moments of climax especially- did it reach a thrilling impressireness. and throughout its singing was characterized by a magnificent fire and enthusiasm, kept, however, well within the bounds necessary for precision and certainty. Criticism would be against the tempo in which many of the chorwes were taken, especially the slower ones, which were seldom slow enough, the differences being insufficiently marked; while a somewhat similar complaint must lio against the matter ot shading in "Arminius." so important and effectivo a means of expression.

It was insufficiently elaborated in detail, a real pianissimo being rarely attained and subtle differences in dynamic power seldom set forth. Home allowance ought to be made in this respect for the disturbing influence of the orchestra, whose playing was somewhat rough and strident, lacking in delicacy and finish. The soloists were Miss Gertrude Edmands, Mr. George Prehn and William H. Lawton.

Mr. Prehn had the burden of the solo work in the exacting and difficult part assigned to "Arminius." and gave an interpretation of it magnificent in dramatic power and artistic insight in the fire and passion of his declamation and the splendid quality and endurance of his vocalism, upou which very large drafts were made. Miss Edmands, though somewhat indisposed, sang the comparatively unimportant part of the priestess with much fervor and a sustained dignity of style that gave it a surpassing interest. Mr. Lawton was an insufficient "Siegmuud," the quality and power of his voice and his conception and artistic formnlatiou of the part being deficient in many points.

THE REPUBLICAN CLUBS. The Coming Convention of the League at Nashville. The national convention of the republican league of clubs to be held at Nashville March 4 bids fair to be well attended from all parts of the country. A sufficient number of Senators and Representatives and other republican lights will go from this city to fill one or two sleepers. It is estimated that of delegates alone there will be iu attendance in the convention from tho states about one thousand.

The unofficial visitors will swell the attendance into the largest convention of the kind yet held. Jno. C. Honk, assistant door keeper of the House, has charge of arrangements, to whom all desiring to attend may apply for particulars. ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY.

HU Memory Honored at the Annual Banquet of the Loyal Legion. The Loyal Legion Washington gave its annual banquet at tho Arlington last night. There were two hundred and fifty covers laid around the beautifully decorated table, and a dinner worthy of the establishment was served. After it had been disposed of Senator Manderson. who presided in his capacity of commander of the legion, introduced the speakers.

The first toast, the special toast of the evening, was to the memory of Abraham Lincoln, yesterday being the anniversary of his birthday, responded to by Justice Miller of the Supreme Bench. The other toasts were as follows: "Gen. Sherman." responded to by his brother, tho Senator; "The Congressman," Senator Tlatt; "The Volunteers." Gen. Nelson A. Miles; "The Army," Representative Cutcheon; "The Navy," Representative Mason; "Military Societies," Representative Allen: "The Judiciary," Senator Higgins.

Maj. Gen. Schofk'ld was among the guests of the evening. Fire at Takoma Cllley Injured. About this morning the residence of the late Dr.

Bliss at Takoma Park was discovered to be on fire. The houso has recently been purchased by Mrs. Cilley of Cincinnati, who with her son, Jonathan and Mr. Charles E. Barber moved into it yesterday.

All appeared to be right this morning when Mr. Barber left the house to go to the store to get some light marketing for breakfast. Mrs. Cilley had been called and started down stairs as soon as she was dressed, but as she opened her room door into the hall she was met by clouds of smoke and sparks. She screamed for her son who was sleeping in the next room, the exit from which was cut off by tlie fire and smoke.

Mr. Cilley, startled from a sound sleep, rushed half dazed into the hall and felt his way down stairs and rushed for water, while Mrs. Cilley, whom he led down stairs, ran t'ranctically to the street and called for help. The waitress, Josie Brooks, ran to the store and notified Mr. Barbor, who flew back to the house with Mr.

Favorite and some other persons carrying buckets. The tire had driven through the chimney into the radiator conductors and burned into the bath room, but as every window in the house was closed the fire was soon extinguished. The damage will probably not exceed Mr. Cilley was slightly burned and was cut across the face and right hand, and was half choked with smoke, but his injuries are not regarded as serious.

Bishop Keane on "Ultimate Religious Ideas." Bishop Koine continued yesterday afternoon at the Catholic university his course or weekly lectures on Herbert Spencer's first principles and discussed the second chapter, entitled "Ultimate Religious Ideas." He showed Spencer's argument iu this chapter to be bssed upon his peculiar views of mental concepts. According to his view, a concept is only clear and perfect when the object presented to the mind can be fully reproduced in the imagination.

Thus we can have a clear conception of a table or a single man. but we cannot picture to ourselves the whole earth, or a numerous body of men; and still less is our imagination capable of grasping the solar system or the universe. The imperfect conceptions which alone we can possess under such circumstances are not, Mr. Spencer says, true conceptions at all. but only symbols of ideas, or "symbolic conceptions." He considers whatever cannot be pictured in the imagination to be inconceivable? After reviewing at some length Mr.

Spencer's argument the bishop said: "There are two kinds of inconceivability. First, anything is inconceivable, according to Mr. Spencer's opinion. if you cannot form a clear picture or image of it iu your mind. Second, a thing is really inconceivable when you recognize that It coiitains ideas between which there is a contradiction and incompatibility.

Herbert Spencer tells us that the solar system is utterly inconceivable. but we know that it exists. On the other hand it I talk to you of a square circle, of a virtuous electric light, of a green or blue thought or sensation, you realize at once that I am trying to put together things that do not fit, that are utterly incompatible. The fact that a thing can or cannot be conceived in the first sense ot the word is no argument for or against its existence, as 1 can form perfectly in my miud the image of a centaur or a sphinx, which do not exist, and I can possibly do so of gravitation, of force, of truth, or of honor, all ot" which are realities about which I have clear ideas and which I know perfectly well how to distinguish from anything else. On the other haud the fact that anything is inconceivable iu the second sense, that it is a contradiction of terms, proves conclusively that it does not exist and that it is absolutely impossible.

You talk of a square circle, of a triangle which does not inclose space, of au infinite number, of infinite spnee, of a cause without au effect, and I know at once that it doea not and cannot exist. "Applying these principles to the arguments of Mr. Spencer's chosen witness, Mr. Mansell, we find that, while they disapprove the selfexistence of the universe, which involves the contradictory notion of infinite past time, aud a self-created universe, which involves the equally contradictory one of an effect without a cause, they leave the hypothesis of a universe created by a self-existent first cause unimpeached, since the only argument advanced against it was the impossibility of picturing such a being to the imagination. If the solar system exists, though unimaginable, so the being of God, though even further beyond the reach of our imaginations, is yet more profoundly real." Next Wednesday afternoon at 4:46 o'clock the subject will be resumed and the chapters on "Ultimate Scientific Ideas" and "The Itelativity of All Knowledge" will be discussed.

COM1NU AMUSEMENTS. bright series of light opera will mark the coining week at Albaugn's. Few couipauies have a greater hold on the theatergoing people of Washington than the McCuull opera company, who will be here uext week in all their grandeur of fine voices, humorous bye-play and pretty choruses. Do Wolf Hopper is a company all by himself. Mathilde Cottrelly, Eugene Oudin, Carrie Burton and the usual excellent McCaull company will also exert themselves.

Two operas only will be presented during the week. The entire week and Saturday matinee, with the exception of Saturday night, being given up to the McCaull success, On Saturday evening "Captain Fracassa" will be sung. Campbell's successful play, "The White Slave," will be the attraction at Harris' Bijou next week. Few plays have been sosucccsstul year in and year out as this strong drama, dealing, as it does, with the exciting period preceding the war. The company next week will bo fully up to all the requirements and the strong situations will lose uothing at their hands.

Jackson, the colored pugilist, has beeu so much talked about of late that the announcement of his appearance at Kernaii's next week has sent a wave of excitement through all sport-loving citizens.

VITAL statistics.

The health officer's report for the week ending February 8 shows: Number of deaths, 96? white. 54; colored, 42. Death rate per 1.000 per annum: White. 16.5; colored, 27.3. Total population, 20.0.

Twenty-five were under five years of age, 13 were under one vear old and 23 over sixty years. Fifteen of the deaths occurred in hospitals and public institutions. The deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotic, constitutional, 20; local, 57; developmental, violence, 6. The principal causes of death were: Croup, erysipelas, typhoid fever, pneumonia, diphtheria, consumption. 15; diarrheal, congestion of the lungs, bronchitis, 7.

Births reported: 19 white males, 21 white females. 14 colored males, 16 colored females, Marriages reported: 20 white, 4 colored. The Charge Was Not Sustained. In the Police Court, Judge Miller, this morning James Ray, living at 1308 street, was charged with selling liquor on Sunday. Officer Ellis testified to seeing three colored men coming out of the back of the premises last Sunday morning.

Charles Wright testified that he went through a stable iuto the back room and got a drink and the others that they went no further than the stable and they were given a drink because they had helped about the stable. The bar keeper. Mr. Dillon, who. it was alleged, sold the beer, testified that he left the place locked up at 9:30 o'clock, au hour before the alleged offense was committed.

Two witnesses testified that Wright did not go beyond the stable. The case was dismissed. Miss Laura Sunderland. The many friends of this young lady will be pained to learn that she has for some weeks been prostrated by illness and lies in an extremely critical condition, her recovery being regarded by the attendant physicians as impossible. Miss Sunderland has long been known in this District as the friend and benefactor of the poor and helpless.

Her charities have been innumerable, aud the qniet, gentle and kindly manner in which they have been administered has greatly endeared her to those to whom her sympathy has been extended. Miss Sunderland'was first attacked by illness in this city some months since, but partially recovered aud then journeyed to the home of her Bister. Mrs. Orrin Day, at Catskill, N.Y.. hoping that the change of air and surroundings would effect a complete recuperation.

These hopes have not been realised, and a few weeks ago Miss Sunderland's mother was summoned to her daughter's bed side, and several days since her rather, the Rev. Dr. B. Sunderland, was notified that hope of recovery was practically abandoned and he was immediately compelled to lay aside his pastoral duties to be present with his daughter, whose useful life seems to be rapidly approaching its end. While hope of recovery has been nearly abandoned there are many thousands in this District and elsewhere who will rervently invoke the divine mercy for the beloved sufferer and her sorely stricken parents and friends.
