wHch brings anxiety to the Christian heart. It is the thought of death. It is the actual reality that one day according to the law of our nature and the designs of God's providence, we must appear face to face with God Almighty. the creature before his Creator, the subject before his King, the culprit before his Judge, to receive an eternity of peace or of woe. "It is the study of this momentous, all-important reality that has occasioned our presence here in the temple of God this morning, and likewise in the obedience to the law of Christain love and consolation to offer the tribute of our prayers before the throne of the most high for one, who near and dear to us in life, is nearer and dearer still to us in death.

"It is well and prudent at times that we should call a halt in the performance of our daily duties, that we should have a momentary respite from physical toil and labor, to dwell on the more serious side of our nature, to elevate the mind from things of the time to those of eternity. "And what an appropriate time the whole nation today Is honoring a dead hero, whose life and deeds and glories are green in our memories. Every loyal American heart today swells with pride, as it recalls the victories won through him for a noble people. battling for their inalienable rights and God-given independence. 'For all he did and all he dared we-remember him "And followtng out recent occurrences.

is not its contemplation still more fitting? Day by day the harvest is mowed down by the grim reaper. death. Men of courage and bravery, of true heroic fortitude and patriotism, are suddenly called from life to death. 'Without a moment's warning. how many have sacrificed their lives on the altar of duty? "Death will come to all of us.

No one can hope or expect to escape this Universal law of our nature." The speaker asked his hetrers to direct the thought of death to themselves and forcibly showed the necessity of being well prepared. In conclusion he recommended their late leader to their prayers. "Remembrance," he said, "is one of the tests of charity. Near as he was in life, prove that he is dearer still to you in death. His memory will long live, the great work he has accomplished for your organization will never be forgotten." -I 01 Ji --qi -4 11 cfPk-i(FleN A Fr 0 'a 1 1 1 C'' 1 4, .49 7, 4 PP 74, 'Z' IVA'30'.

Chief Executive Retains Many Souvenirs of the Occasion. In accordance with custom, Gov Wol. cott held a public reception at the state house yesterday forenoon. -Notwithstanding the threatening weather, al. most 1800 persons climbed Beacon Hill to grasp the hand of the chief executive.

Al! things considered. it was one of the most gratifying receptions held, for some years. The various military' organizations of the state were out in force. School children, quiet. orderly and impressed.

trooped past the governor and received a cordial greeting. They gazed with something of wonder at the martial line behind his excellency, for the glorious staff detail was there to give character to the function. Many of our best citizens braved the elements, and with their wives and: children celebrated Washington's birthday by paying tribute to the governor. Not the least remarkable feature of the day was the visit of the body of reel. dent consuls of foreign nations, headed by B.

C. Clark, the Haytian consul. When the reception closed at 12.30 just 1780 persons had shaken hands with the governor. His excellency has several souvenirs of the day. Flowers from children were graciously accepted by him.

A little fellow from Brighton presented his excellency with a promissory note, under day of March 21. 1780. which indicates that one Jonathan Knight owes one Roger Wolcott 8s 5d. His excellency will not try to recover the amount Perfect Arrangements. Owing to the perfect arrangement there was no hitch in the proceedings.

A detail of the district police. under Capt Rhoades, looked after the visitors and directed their footsteps to the eeutive chamber. The callers entered by way of the private secretary's office and thence to the executive chamber. Here the governor stood to receive. hind him were the following staff offi4 cers in all their trappings of war: Adj1 Gen Dalton, Gens Appleton.

Toward the close oil the reception Chief Wade. at the heal of the district police. and Capt Adams with his corps of aids and messengers, filed through the chamber and shook hands with the governor. The consuls.

ARLINGTON, Feb 22The spring rally of the Middlesex Central Christian Endeavor union was held in the Pleasant St Congregational church here today. Rev A. A. Cambridge of West Medford, president of the union, presided. horse, and they did the evolutions like thoroughbreds.

The next act, an exhibition of tumbling and Club juggling, was by four young men, and very clever ones, too, from the Young Men's Christian union. Mr T. A. Bishop as "Mlle Fopp 'ant," the premiere bareback rider, on her fiery Arabian steed "Whoa," whose sides of spruce were decorated in imitation of real dapples. brought down the house.

It was one of the best of the burlesque acts of the show. It might be said with truth that every act was a feature, and with no covert desire to get a house lot in Jewell park for the compliment, the writer desires to say that a great deal of talent was displayed by the young men who took part. Mr G. W. Hinckley, Mr C.

W. Hinckley and Mr Lorimer, in the educated elephant act, made fun enough to make all feel that the price paid for admission was not money thrown away, and when Mr C. G. Flynn and Mr S. A.

Howard appeared as the Italian organ grinder and monkey the children gave way to hysterical mirth. The exercises and groupings by 11 young men from the Young Men's Christian union were most commendable and quite up in excellence to anything seen on the professional stage. Mr G. F. Hoffman.

superintendent of the Y. M. C. U. directed this part of the program, and the performers were E.

F. Parks. Gus Cunio, Fred Douglass, C. F. Sanborn, W.

S. Robbins, A. H. Seaver, A. C.

Bay, Morris Thorner, F. W. Newell, J. A. bykeman and Willie Dacey.

A performance by 12 educated dogs closed the circus part of the program. The usual concert followed, and it was worth staying for. The "horrid freaks of Jewell park" then came on the stage, and the lecturer, Mr George C. Chandler. did the demonstrating.

The freaks represented the "missing link," the "living Skeleton." the "fat lady," the "Zulu chief." the "Circassian snake charmer." the "tattooed man," the "bearded lady," and the "educated chimnanzee." and they sang as they marched: We are the horrid freaks of Jewell park, "us dangerous to meet us after dark; We wake it our chief biz To scare you with our phlit The nights that ne are out upon a lark: We hold the central power at Jewell park, Polit dog's come here to bark. Evry year you hear the sizz Of our campaign pet, gee whizz! we are the horrid freaks of Jewell park. NEI BATTLESHIP. Proposition to Name It George Washington. ItIorgan's Resolution Muted tv the Senate.

Bill Also Passed to Raise Two New Regiments. Are to be Artillery to Man Coast Defenses. Senator Lodge Reads Farewell Address of Washington. WASHINGTON, Feb 22A crowd of spectators filled the galleries at the opening of the session of the senate today In anticipation of the exercises incident to Washington's birthday. Among the spectators were Many Daughters of the American Revolution, now in national session in this city.

The prayer of the chaplain was particularly appropriate to the day. The reading of the journal was dispensed with, and in accordance with a previous order the vice president introduced Senator Lodge, Mass. to read Washington's farewell address. It has been the custom for many years to have the address read in the senate by one of its members on Washington's birthday. Mr Lodge read from the vice president's desk.

He was in fine voice, and the words of the historic document were clearly heard in every part of the senate. Special emphasis seemed to be placed by Mr Lodge upon Washington's maxims regarding the raising of revenues by the levying of taxes and maintenance of public credit, and there was a ring to the reader's voice as he pronounced these words: "Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony toward all." At the conclusion of the reading of the address Mr Lodge was warmly congratulated by his colleagues. Mr Morgan, Ala. introduced a resoluten directing the committee on naval affairs to report whether a man-of-war to be named the George Washington could be commissioned within a year.

The resolution, which was adopted without debate. was as follows: "That the committee on naval affairs Is instructed to inquire and report whether a man-of-war, equal at least to any warship in the world, to be named the George Washington, can be built, armed and commissioned within a period of 12 months by the use of the facilities of the shipyards, machine shops, mines and forests of the United States. wherever the same are found; and that the committee have leave to report at any time by bill or otherwise." Mr Hawley, Conn, chairman of the military affairs committee, called up the bill reported from his committee authorizing the organization of two additional regiments of artillery. lir Bate. Tenn.

objected to the bill because it tended to an increase of the arniv. to which he said he was unalterably opposed. He thought that there were enough troops already under enlistment to man all the guns now being provided for by the government. Ile argued that it would be better to assign Infantry regiments to the manning of these guns than to put them in charge of raw recruits. In reply Mr Hawley pointed out that the of the army was really decreasing in proportion to the inhabitants of the country.

In addition, he said. congress had made large appropriations in recent years for great guns for fcrts and coast defense stations. Of these guns 139 were of large calibre and delicate mechanism. To these must be added '232 rifled steel mortars already placed or soon to be placed in the coast defense stations. In order that these guns may be properly handled.

a body of trained artilleryists is neeessary. Each of these great war engines requires to handle it as much skill as it requires to run a locomotive or an ordinary river steamer. The war department estimates that the 1600 odd men which this bill calls for will he necessary to man these guns properly. The bill was then passed, 52-4. The measure provides that the artillery of the army shall consist of seven regiments.

thus increasing the total number of enlisted men in the army by 1610 men. to be employed exclusively in the artillery arm of the service. At 1.40 in, on motion of Mr Allison, Ia, the senate went into executive see-sin. At 4 o'clock the senate adjourned. CONGRESS BECOMING IMPATIENT.

Selator Allen Will Introduce Resolution For a Special Commission to Visit Hpeana and Cuba. WASHINGTON, Feb 22Congress is growing impatient. The senate today, -in response to the urgent request of Senator Hawley, chairman of the military committee, passed a bill increasing the artillery arm of the government by adding 1650 men, in order that the fortifications might be properly manned. The house tomorrow will refer the bill to the committee on military affairs. which will at once report favorably, and it is expected that 4S hours the bill will be before the president.

While congress; thus emphasizes Its appreciation of the situation, there is a restlessness that will find expression tomorrow over the failure of the president to send in the Cuban correspondence. It is the intention of Senator Allen of Nebraska to introduce in the senate tomorrow a resolution for the appointment of a special eommittee to visit Havana and the island of Cuba for the purpose of enabling the senate to understand exactly what are the conditions prevailing there. "We have had newspaper information, which I believe to be correct.

but which is discredited in certain quarters because It Is said to be exaggerated and sensational," said Senator Alien tonight. "Roth the senate and the house have called upon the administration for the official correspondence, which might aid us in our desire to know the real facts, but for some reason or other the president (lees not Fee fit to comply with the request, and. of course, I realize that he is guarded by what he deems a proper sense of his public duty. ITrulerthe circumstances. I think the senate has a right to appoint a committee of its own membersmen upon WhOM judgment and conclusions we can rely, ail(' this will clear the atmosphere." Interviews with senators upon Senator Allen's proposition show that the Proposed resolution is not likely to be adopted.

It will be welcomed, however, In tha hone that it may hasten the sending to congress of the Cuban correspondence which, as stated in these dispatches yesterday, is ready to be but which is being held back. because it is feared that its publication at this time would add to the tensftv of public feeling. Quite a number -of senators, however. are in sympathy with Senator Allen, and would like some method devised by which they could be made acquainted with the real condition of affairs in Cuba.

At Tremont temple last evening the Massachusetts army nurses and women of the civil war gave a grand patriotic jubilee in honor of the veterans of the army and navy. The hall was well filled by the friends of the organization.

The object was not alone to arouse the patriotism of the younger generation, but to secure funds to help support some of the nurses in this state who. through illness due to the hardships they suffered during the war, or to old age, are no longer capable of self-support. The exercises began with the reveille by Prof E. E. Kelsey, who used the same bugle he used during the war at the battles of Cedar mountain and Antietam.

An organ prelude of national airs was rendered by Mr George H. Howard. Mr George S. Evans was chief marshal, and in opening the exercises made an eloquent plea for aid to the self-sacrificing women who went to the front during the civil war. "Fortunately." said he, "there are but few In this state who are without means of support, but these should be provided for." He then introduced Mrs Mary A.

Livermore as the president of the Mrs Livermore explained the purposes of the meeting. She said that there are few nurses in need of aid, but that those few need it as much as they surely deserve it. One thousand dollars a year would be sufficient for the purpose. Mayor Quincy, who had accepted an Invitation to deliver an address. was unable to be present.

Rev Edward A. Horton was introduced and related many amusing inqidents of his life as a rnan-o'-warsmait. Col William M. Olin and Capt J. G.

B. Adams paid high compliments to the devotion and self-sacrifice of the nurses. Col Henry A. Thomas also made a stirring address, telling of tho 'glorious deeds of the veteran. Several very enjoyable vocal solos were given 'by Miss Jennie Mae Spencer, and Miss Ella M.

Chamberlain gave a whistling solo. The quartet rendered other songs of the war, and a series of living pictures were given by the Sons of Veterans. The patronesses of the association are Mrs Mary A. Livermore, Elisha S. Converse, Mrs E.

The back ground to the ring wa9 a hanging of duck on canvas on which were painted animal wagons with bars thiough could be seen painted monkeys and tigers and lions and such. The clown who pushed the grin in quickly pulled it back again and told the performers that there was a full house. Directly this announcement was made a sound of music came out through the hole where the clown showed himself, and the melody was followed by the melody makers, none of which were frcm Concord.

The tune played was the "Jewell Park Circus March," cemposed by Mr Walter I. Dolbeare. It bad a hypnotic influence en everybody's leg muscles, and all kept time. The band wore medals said to have been won in competition with the most famous bands of the world.

Jugglers, contortionists and make-believe elephants, ring master, fake countryman and clowns. It was a supreme moment for the children present. and when the whole circus began to sing the wives and mothers and other acquaintances out on the seats commenced to shout "good" and "bravo" and "bravissimo." The march had words composed by Mr H.

Long followed in an "equestrian quadrille, each being made up to resemble a stress upon.the importance of the document, which resulted from a stenographic report of the Interview between Senator Morgan and Mr Koop. The document consisted of questions by Senator lNiorgan and replies by Mr Koop. The latter Said that he had been in 34 provinces and had spent more or less time in each of them in the prosecution of his inquiries.

In no place outside of Havana, he said, was any effort made to take care of the reconcentrados. and he declared that the people were dying In great numbers in all places in which they had been collected by the Spanish authorities, both as of the cruelty of the Spanish troops and from lack of food. Ile declared that there was no evidence in the provinces of more liberal treatment of these unfortunate people under the administration of Gen Blanco than under the Weyier regime. and said that the people in general were in just as deplorable a condition now as they had been before tne change. In no case were the reconcentrados allowed to go outside the military posts to collect food.

and while there was some effort in certain instances to grow crops in the Immediate vicinity of the garrisons. these crop areas did not extend more than 5e) yards from the forts. lie added that if the peoele were allowed to get out they could get enough to eat to keep soul and body together, but even when small children attempted to go outside the guard line. they were shot down as ruthlessly as if they were enemies in arms. Ile said he had seen women and children abused by the Spanish soldiery and that a favorite pastime seemed to be to kick the women about as if they were dogs.

Mr Koop alsa devoted considerable sraee, at Senator Morgan's suggestion, to the scheme of autonomy under the liberal ministry and pronounced it a failure from one end of the island to the other. He said that business was at a standstill throughout the country, that few crops were growing and desolation and ruin stared the traveler in the face wherever he went. As a property was much depreciated in value and the people were greatly discouraged. He said that the general estimate was that the war had already resulted in the loss Of 600,000 lives, and Mr Koop himself did net consider this figure exaggeratP6. There waz some comment upon the (loeureent by Senators organ, Gallinger and Mason.

Senator Mason said the statement was no more than he expected to hear, and Senator Gallinger declared that the picture drawn was a deplorable one. lie r-Flid thlt two years ago he had advised that the United States slieula intervene to put a stop to the war and that every development since had confirmed the wisdom of the suggestion then made.

"Manifestations of nature and imagination neer before seen. and probably never again to be gazed upon by human vision, Will appear before you in bewildering. astonishing, unprecedented and simultaneous display, making an imposing, thrilling and artistic verisimilitude of dramatic. comic and aerial contiguities, such as will forever elevate to the topmost pinnacle of fame's temple, the name of Jewell park and its progressive populace." Seats in Bloomfield ball were arranged amphitheater fashion after running "If the senate falls to do its duty, let us.

If we turn from tkis temptation now and adhere to the right. 25 years of peace and prosperity will vindicate our patriotism and posterity will bless our memories.

Let us have the moral courage to say 'No' to a policy which will lead, God alone knows where." The demonstration which greeted the conclusion of Mr Johnson's speech was one of the greatest and most spontaneous witnessed in this congress. Many of the republicans joined it and the galleries which were crowded, gave evidences of approval. Members thronged about the Indiana member when he took his seat and warmly congratulated him. The remainder of the day was almost entirely consumed in political speeches. Mr Jones, fusionist, NVash, delivered a general speech in opposition to existing conditions which aroused the minority to erthasiasm.

Mr Simpson, pop, Kos, created amusement by some He was speaking of the tendency of the times to produce millionaires on the one hand and paupsrs on the other, and was directing Ills remarks esl-ecially at Mr Walker, when Mr Perkins, rep. la. asked him if he would object to being a millionaire. "I should not," replied Mr amid laughter. "I don't believe in playing ths hypocrite.

But that I am not a millionaire is evidence of my direct declination to take advantage of my fellow-man." "If you were a millionaire I presume you would admit that there was some respectability among thorn?" "Yes. I have no doubt I should add at least an air of respectability to them." (Laughter.) Mr Walker, rep, Mass, replied to Mr Simpson, denouncing the other side for Its reiterated aspersions upon men of wealth. Turning to the southern members, he declared impulsively that he had given to the cause of education in the south more than all of them together had contributed. "Figure it out," he said with feeling, "and you will find I have given two dollars for every one yon have contributed. I am tired of this abuse.

I stand here in the integrity of an honest life. I have given away more than I now possess. You have driven me to this statement, now hang your heads in shame." (Great applause on republican side.) At 5 o'clock the general debate closed and the house adjourned. CUBA USURPS PLACE OF HAWAII. Statements by a eott3l Man Cons'dered by the Selate Executive Sesso I as to the Peconcentrados.

WASHINGTON. Feb 22---Cuba usurped the place of Hawaii in the executive proceedings of the senate today and was under consideration for an hour or more. This proceeding was based upon a document presented by Senator Morgan of Alabama as the result of an interview between himEelf and Mr Koop of Boston. In presenting the document Senator Morgan said that Mr Koop was a capitalist who had but recently re, turned'from Cuba. after a most exhaustive exploration of the island.

The aim of the organization is to keep life alive, and bar the entrance of the blues to the park.

Every man in the park is a member of the organization. There are no dues to be paid, no provision for the imposing of fines, and in no way possible may an assessment be collected. The associates are a jolly lot. and yesterday afternoon and evening they loosed some of their surplus exuberance in Bloomfield hall. Weeks ago the associates decided to have a circus, and they did.

The "men folks." according to the mock hayseed who purchased the performing elephant, "got right daown wu'k" as soon as the circus was decided upon. and for three weeks the wits, muteclans dancers and funny men have been pulling themselves together for the event just gone into Jewell park history. The women, too, though not admitted to membership in the organization, helped the cause along in various ways. They made costumes loaned old mother hubbards for some of the "lady" bareback riders, and then went to the show "an' like to died a-laughing."

From all portions of this terrestrial spherefrom the Congo Ind. created a sensation by delivering an emphatic speech against the annexation of Hawaii.

His remarks were met by many demonstrations of approval frem the democratic side. Whether the present government of Hawaii was a de facto or a de jure government, he declared that it misrepresented the people of Hawaii. whose rights it was ready to proffer away. The persistency with which the treaty of annexation was being pressed, he said. gave color to the accusation made in laial that the revolution in Hawaii was aided by the interposition of American citizens.

How long had 2t been, he asked, since we had passed a bill to keep out the Ignorance of the old world, that we now proposed to annex territory in which ignorance was the rule. We had passed a Chinese exclusion act, be said. now it was proposed to annex territory which contained a large Chinese population. It would be unwise and shortsighted if we should cut loose from all the traditions of the past and rashly embark on the unknown sea of territorial aggrandizement. Only once had we departed from the rulein the purchase of Alaska.

and only the future could determine that had been a wise move. Possession of extraneous territory meant a constant souree of irritation. It was urged that the Sandwich islands were the key to the Pacific. as if guns mounted there could command the Nicaragua canal and the Pacific coast thousands of miles away. The annexation of Hawaii would establish a bad precedent which we would he urged to follow at an eatly day.

Today the cry was us Hawaii." Tomorrow it would be "Give us Cuba," and the next day "Give us Samoa." These appeals would all be justified by the pleasant sophistries which appealed to our vanity and cupidity until at last we would find ourselves irretrievably committed to a policy unnecessary to the material happiness of our people hurrying along a path strewn with the wrecks of empires and of nations. (Applause.) He did not deny. he said. that the acquisition of foreign territory had addea to the prosperity of nations. But history showed it to have been ultimately a source of weakness.

Cupidity bred oppression, it piled up taxes, it stirred up strife, it shed human blood, it was the first step toward dinmemberment. Let the nations of the old world pursue this policy of aggrandizement ta their hearts' content; let them saddle their people with debt, equip armies and navies and shed oceans of blood. Let England haast, if she pleased, that the sun never set upon her territory. But let us remember it never went down upon the misery her policy had created. Let wars and rumors of war bring anxiety to the faces of her colonists.

but let the newer of her colonies which broke away from her domination eio years ago and which by pursuing the opposite policy had outstripped her, continue to stand as an example to the civilized world.

WASHINGTON, Feb 22 Official Information is in the possession of the government to the effect that autonomy in Cuba is a failure.

The report comes from Consul General Lee and is on tile in the state department. In this report Gen Lee discusses the condition of the island under Gen Blanco and makes elaborate observations on the new plan of government adopted by the Spanish government. He not only emphatically states that autonomy is a failure, but he presents his facts and reasons in convincing form. This letter will naturally be included, It the administration decides to make it public, in the response to the senate resolution calling upon the president for correspondence with Gen Lee. In view of the fact that the president in his message asked that time be given for a demonstration of the plan of autonomy, with the suggestion that in the event of Its failure his government might be called upon to take another step in the Cuban question, there is a feeling in the senate that the official report of failure ought to be made public.

The ultimate decision as to its transmission to congress rests of course with the president.
