The woman suffragist convention is to be held hero, as stated tn Thk Stab, during the third week of February. A week later those of the advocates of female freedom who believe that they are oppressed and denied their poli- tical rights more through tho infiuonce of the church than through that of the politicians, "the mean masculine politicians," will hold a convention at Willard hall and see what they can do to take themselves and their sinter citi¬ zens out of the power of the church. It is un¬ certain how many of the woman suffragists rill join this movement, and those who do not will oppose it, as a rule. The object of this movement to throw off tho yoke of the church is not, the women who are promoting it declare, antagonistic to Christianity, but merely to church dogmas and "church tyranny," which place women in a secondary station to man. They say these dogmas are of man and not of Ood. and maintain that the rea¬ son the movement for woman's poli¬ tical freedom has been a failure is because the influence of the church has been directed against it. Prof. Elliot Coues has championed the cause of these new crusaders against crceds. He is not taking a very active part, but he gives them the benefit of his indorsement and such assistance as he can find time to give. Miss Anthony is conservative and does not give the movement her approval at all and Miss Willard is not willing to strike the "Christian" out of her Woman's Christian temperance union. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. DISTRICT WHARF PRIVILEGES. Several days ago the Commissioners wrote to Attorney Hazelton requesting information as to how long the Commissioners could lease wharf privileges and what was their general power over the river front. In his report upon the questions submitted Attorney Hazelton, after quoting decisions and laws sustaining the authority of the Commissioners in the premises, says: "As there is no statute in this District limiting the terms of a lease or license in this class of cases to any particular period of time I am of the opinion that it is wholly within the discretion of the Commissioners to fix the U rm of any proposed lease or license for wharfage." THE PROPOSED BOULEVARD. Recently Mr. Joseph Paul in a letter to Capt. Rossell submitted several suggestions relative to the subdivisions of land on the District line. He suggested that in such sub¬ divisions the parties owning tho land be required to donate sufficient land to make an avenue along said line for a dividing line between ilie District and state of Maryland. Capt. Rossell thinks the suggestion a good ono aud will recommend in the laying out of streets that his scheme be regarded as a part of the present system, the boulevard to be known as north boulevard, south boulevard, east boulevard and west boulevard, and that provisions be made for open plats iu the form of semi-circles along the said line that would call attention to the pro¬ posed boulevard in Capt. Mahan's plan for the extension of streets, which was submitted when that officer was assistant to the Engineer Com¬ missioner, which he considers a good one MISCELLANEOUS. The Commissioners have written a letter to Senator lugalls stating that they heartily ap¬ prove the bill to establish an inebriate asylum in the District of Columeia. The Commissioners hold that the plumbers who paid money to Permit Clerk McDevitt will be required to make a deposit of the amount due for repairing cuts before any more per¬ mits are grunted to them.

The present quarters have prooved to be entirely too small, It will be necessary to raise a large sum of money and the managers feel confident that it can be done. Next Saturday night a mass meeting will be held, when the new building will be discussed aud it is hoped that the movement will be inaugurated. The Amlres-Doerner Concert. Tho duo concert by Messrs. Andres and Doerner, pianists, at Universalist church Thursday night, filled the house. It was their first appearance in Washington and the audience was very favorably impressed, al- though the selectious were too classical for the general taste. The Zigeuner, Polka (Conradi- List) aud Gavotte and Musette, op. 20 (Raff), were given w.th great brilliaucy aud spirit and were the gems of the program. Held for the Grand Jury. A negro named Charles Martin was held in $200 bail for the grand jury in the Police Court yesterday on a charge of cutting Tobe Williams in the stomach. The cutting oc- currcd iu Steve Wall's place, corner of 11th and Q streets. Giving Talbert Time. Perry Talbert, who keeps a saloon on H street northeast, was before the Police Court yes¬ terday charged with keeping an unlicensed bar. Talbert held a receipt for $100, which he deposited at the office of the Commissioners three months ago. He said ho had the signa¬ tures of a sufficient number of property owners and house keepers approving his application. Tho application, it is alleged, was mislaid or lost at the Commissioners' office. The judge continued the case, giving Talbert time to re¬ new his application. Mr. Edwabd T. Kaiser, for a long time with Mr. R. O. Holtzman, has opened an office on his own account, as real estate, loan and insur¬ ance broker, in the Atlantic Building. His wide circle of acquaintances and excellent busi¬ ness training and experience will stand Mr. Kaiser in good stead in his new undertaking, in which he can hardly fail of success.

HOW TARSI*EY ILLUSTRATED IT. lie Says He Hm Found . Missouri Pre¬ cedent for Mr. Reed'* Ruling. Tarsney. the new Representative in CongreM from Missouri, is proving one of the greatest wags in the House. He is fuller of stories, jokes.practical and oral.and general wit and good humor than even his brother, who was in the last House, lie is a heavy-set man. with * big head and overhanging brows, which give him a serious expression. He moves among the other members a great deal, never staying long in one place. He stops for a moment near a group of members and then passes on with a solemn look and manner.whilo the group is left in a most mirthful mood. During the hottest of the fight in the House Thursday, after Mc- Kinley bad been quoting bad precedence on the democrats, Tarsney walked up to a repub¬ lican 111 a solemn und confidential manner and said: "I guess your Sp< uker must be right in his ruling; there is precedence for it" '.What is it?" asked the eager republican. "Wnv," said the Missouri member, "some vears ago the Missouri legislature had an able Irishman for a speaker. There was a measure that was very popular with the speaker, but which had little support ou the tloor. The speaker was anxious to get it through the as- Humbly and one day he got it up for a vote. " 'All those in favour of the bill will please say yes when their names air culled,1 he said. Half a dozen men responded. 'Those aginst it will say naw.' Nearly a hundred men voted no. 'The yeas have it!' the speaker declared. Then there was a tumult.like this.aud several members appealed from the decision of the chair. " 'It's appals ye does.' cried the speaker; 'thin ov will pot the question. All in favor of appalin' from the chair will say yes." Nearly the whole bouse responded. . Those opposed say naw!' About six mon voted no. "Tne chair looked at the house for a moment and then spoke: 'It takes two-thirds ov yez to appal from the chair, and it is the opinion ov tfie chair that there aren't two-thirds ov yez present at all. The bill is passed.' " Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in tee have been filed as follows: J. W. Keyaer to Henry Kcuter, lot 125, Long Meadows; 8.. J. Henry Gulick to 8. T. G.

SKIN ENTIRELY GONE. FLESH A MASS OF DIS¬ EASE. LEO DIMINISHED ONE-THIRD IN SIZE. CONDITION HOPELESS. CURED BY THE CUTICURA REMEDIES IN TWO MONTHS. CURED BY CUTICURA. For throe years I waa almost crippled with an awful sore leg frotu my knee down to my ankle: the akin was entirely gone, and the flesh was one mass of disease. Some physicians pronounced it incurable. It had diminished about one-third the size of the other, and I was in a hopeless condition. After trying all kinds of remedies and spending hundreds of dollars, from which I «nt no relief wha'ever, I was persuaded to try your CUTICURA REMEDIES, and the result waa as follows: Af:er three days I noticed a decided change for the better, and at the end of two months I was completely cured. My flesh was pun fled, slid the hone (which had been exposed for over a year) got sound. The flesh began to grow, and today, aud for ueaily two years past, my leg is as well as ever it was, sound in every respect, aud not a sign of the disease to be seen. b.

TWO WOMAN'S CONVENTIONS.One That Will Take Issue With theChurch as an Knemy of Woman's Cause.

The woman suffragist convention is to beheld hero, as stated tn Thk Stab, during thethird week of February. A week later those ofthe advocates of female freedom who believethat they are oppressed and denied their poli-tical rights more through tho infiuonce of thechurch than through that of the politicians,"the mean masculine politicians," will hold a

convention at Willard hall and see what theycan do to take themselves and their sinter citi¬zens out of the power of the church. It is un¬certain how many of the woman suffragistsrill join this movement, and those who do not

will oppose it, as a rule. The object of thismovement to throw off tho yoke of the churchis not, the women who are promoting itdeclare, antagonistic to Christianity, but merelyto church dogmas and "church tyranny," whichplace women in a secondary station to man.They say these dogmas are of man andnot of Ood. and maintain that the rea¬son the movement for woman's poli¬tical freedom has been a failure is becausethe influence of the church has been directedagainst it. Prof. Elliot Coues has championedthe cause of these new crusaders against crceds.He is not taking a very active part, but he givesthem the benefit of his indorsement and suchassistance as he can find time to give. MissAnthony is conservative and does not give themovement her approval at all and Miss Willardis not willing to strike the "Christian" out ofher Woman's Christian temperance union.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

DISTRICT WHARF PRIVILEGES.Several days ago the Commissioners wrote to

Attorney Hazelton requesting information asto how long the Commissioners could leasewharf privileges and what was their generalpower over the river front. In his report uponthe questions submitted Attorney Hazelton,after quoting decisions and laws sustainingthe authority of the Commissioners in thepremises, says: "As there is no statute in thisDistrict limiting the terms of a lease or licensein this class of cases to any particular period oftime I am of the opinion that it is wholly withinthe discretion of the Commissioners to fixthe U rm of any proposed lease or license forwharfage."

THE PROPOSED BOULEVARD.Recently Mr. Joseph Paul in a letter to Capt.

Rossell submitted several suggestions relativeto the subdivisions of land on the Districtline. He suggested that in such sub¬divisions the parties owning tho landbe required to donate sufficient land tomake an avenue along said line for a dividingline between ilie District and state of Maryland.Capt. Rossell thinks the suggestion a good onoaud will recommend in the laying out of streetsthat his scheme be regarded as a part of thepresent system, the boulevard to beknown as north boulevard, southboulevard, east boulevard and westboulevard, and that provisions be made foropen plats iu the form of semi-circles along thesaid line that would call attention to the pro¬posed boulevard in Capt. Mahan's plan for theextension of streets, which was submitted whenthat officer was assistant to the Engineer Com¬missioner, which he considers a good one

HOW TARSI*EY ILLUSTRATED IT.lie Says He Hm Found . Missouri Pre¬

cedent for Mr. Reed'* Ruling.Tarsney. the new Representative in CongreM

from Missouri, is proving one of the greatestwags in the House. He is fuller of stories,jokes.practical and oral.and general wit andgood humor than even his brother, who was inthe last House, lie is a heavy-set man. with *big head and overhanging brows, which givehim a serious expression. He moves amongthe other members a great deal, never stayinglong in one place. He stops for a moment near agroup of members and then passes on with asolemn look and manner.whilo the group is leftin a most mirthful mood. During the hottestof the fight in the House Thursday, after Mc-Kinley bad been quoting bad precedence onthe democrats, Tarsney walked up to a repub¬lican 111 a solemn und confidential manner andsaid: "I guess your Sp< uker must be right inhis ruling; there is precedence for it"

'.What is it?" asked the eager republican."Wnv," said the Missouri member, "somevears ago the Missouri legislature had an ableIrishman for a speaker. There was a measurethat was very popular with the speaker, butwhich had little support ou the tloor. Thespeaker was anxious to get it through the as-Humbly and one day he got it up for a vote." 'All those in favour of the bill will please

say yes when their names air culled,1 he said.Half a dozen men responded. 'Those aginst itwill say naw.' Nearly a hundred men voted no.'The yeas have it!' the speaker declared. Thenthere was a tumult.like this.aud severalmembers appealed from the decision of thechair." 'It's appals ye does.' cried the speaker;'thin ov will pot the question. All in favor of

appalin' from the chair will say yes." Nearlythe whole bouse responded. . Those opposedsay naw!' About six mon voted no."Tne chair looked at the house for a moment

and then spoke: 'It takes two-thirds ov yez toappal from the chair, and it is the opinion ovtfie chair that there aren't two-thirds ov yezpresent at all. The bill is passed.' "
