THE CHRISTMAS CLUB. Taking Steps to Provide Christmas Cheer for Children Who Have No Christmas at Home—An Interesting Meet! at the Ebbitt House Last Evening. A meeting of gentlemen interested in getting up the Children’s Christmas club dinner for the poor children of the second division was held et the Ebbitt house last evening. Among those present were Commissioner Webb, who presided over the meet! ag; Judge Hagner, Judge Cox, Mr. Crosby's. Noyes, Mr. R. Ross Perry, Mr. Reginald Fendall, Mr. A. G. Bradley and Mr. John A. Ba- ker. Mr. Perry gave a brief history of Christmas clus, their purpose, and what had been accom- plished in the past two years in the way of making the poor children in Washington happy at Christmas times. The leading Idea of the club is to have the children whose rents provide them with plenty, to look out for the poor ebildren and see that their Christmas 1s not altogether cheerless on account of their poverty. It was first organized In Washington two years ago, there being four subdivisions, No, Lin West Washington, No, 2 from Rock Creel to Ist street and north of B street south- west, No. 3 on Capitol Hill and the Nav: Yard, and No. 4, South Washington. The Sout! Wasiiington ‘subdivision has since died out, ‘The first vear the second division gave a Christ- mus dinner and presents to 500 poor chil- dren, and last year they provided the same for 750. Little Nellie Arthar was the president of this club and took a great interest in it. President Arthur himself was interested in itand rendered considerable assistance In the work. This year as the South Washington children will have to be cat for by this divi- sion, there will probably be 800 or 1,000 child- ren fo provide for. “The principal work is done by ladies, and the meeting decided to invite Miss Cleveland, the President's sister, to take ‘part in it, OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES. Commissioner Webb was made chairman of the club, Mr. A.G. Bradley secretary, and Mr. Crosby S. Noyes treasurer. The following committees were appointed: On invitations, Crosby S. Noyes, James G. Ber- ret, and John W. Pilling; on entertainment, Judge Hagner, Judge Cox, and James . Fitch; ongiftsand tree, Enoch Totten, Anthony Pol- lok, Reginald Fendail, and R.

Another attempt was- made yesterday after- noon to find a suitable foundation for the sluice gates of the reservoir on the Potomae flats. As there was every probability that the workmen would again strike a vein of gas, a STAR re- porter hurried to the scene of operations, After reaching the south end of the Long bridge causeway, 1 was necessary to take to the reclaimed pdrtion of the flats, whieh does not now form the pleasant promenade that 1s expected of it In @ few years, Several hundred yards north of the bridge, the reporter found a kang of haif a dozen men'hard at work on two scows which were firmly imbedded in the shore jee.

NATIONAL THEATER.—Mr. Joseph Jefferson began his éngagement at the National theater Monday night before the usual large audience of intelligent and sympathetic beople. pig of the familiar tmpersonations in which he red.

Miss Lillian Lee, a very promising youn actress, fills the role of Bertha, the blind girl, with a quiet pathetic beauty that is very effec- tive, and shows the instinet of the true artist. Forp’s Opera Hovsk.—‘A Night Off” is one of those light, somewhat extravagant, but very laughable farce-comedies which Mr. Augustin Daly has been so successful in gathering from many sources and adapting to the tastes of the American public, While the incidents in the main @re not adjusted on the lines of probability, they are weil calculated to excite a great deal of imirth, and many foibles and follies of eur- rent human nature are cleverly hit off in the characterization. The company which is pre- senting “A Night Of” at Ford’s does not b any means develop to the fullest the (aaeaee ie ties of elegant comedy acting In the piece. Still, while falling short of this, they give a lively performance, which keeps their audiences in pretty constant laughter and send them away in good humor.

The play, however, does not have any chilling effect on the enthusiasm of the audience, which applaud the fine scenery, sympathize with the woes of Sara (Miss Emma Valders) and Nicolai (George R. Parks), and laugh at the misery of poor Trotsky (Charles Drew.) ‘The company through- out is a fairly good one, and invest the tamiliar scenes of the drama with as much interest as can be expected, “Siberia” will remain at Al- baugh’s ull the week. H1ER20G's OPERA HoUSE.—“The Mikado” en- tered upon the second week of its successful ca- reer at this popular house Monday night. There has been a murked Improvement in the per- formanee since the opening night, and it now goes without hesitation and with considerable spirit and smoothness.

Treasurer C. N. Jordan of the 30th ultimo, saying that Mr. Denham has resigned as clerk to the sinking fund and that Miss Mott has been appointed to the vacaney, “Invite the atiention of the treasurer to the question whether the law does not devolve the appoint- inent of such aclerk uponthem.” Mr. Denham was appointed by them, d CHARLEY Ross, The Commissioners ‘have received a letter from Mr. H.C. Zimmerman, dated St. Joseph, Mo., November 27, asking to be informed if tue father of the lost boy, Charley Ross, is living in Washington, and if So to please give him’ the particular address of him immediately, NOT IN FAVOR OF FIRE-WORKS. The Commissioners have disapproved one voucher of W. W. Curtis, treasurer of the In- dustrial Home School, in'relation to the expen- diture of $20 for fire-works. They say they are unable toappreclate the argument in favor of fire-cracker patriotism that Is so emphatically discountenanced bot by the laws of Washing- ton and Georgetown. Even shouid the Com- missioners approve that item the treasurer would, they say, doubtless throw it out, and properly so, as ‘an unnecessary and improper expenditure of the public moneys, POOR BOXES. The Commissioners have re munieation of Mr. Campbell Carrington of the 4th instant, suggesting that “public poor boxes” be placed in hotels, club rooms, on lamp posts, &e., for the purpose of receiving contributions for the benefit of the suffering poor of the Dis- trict, and offering to bear the expense of mak- ing ‘such boxes, and say that “the Commis- sloners see no objection to your placing at your own expense boxes such as you suggest. If located in, hotels oF places that, are guarded they will be less likely to lead boys into the temptation of prying into their contents. ‘The money can, If you like, be taken by some police officer, or you can name any other agent as you think proper.” LIQUOR LICENSES have been approved by the District Commis- sioners for issue to the following pepe Wm.

Secretary Manning's report says: “The net expenditures on account of the District of Go- umbia for the fiseal year 1885 were §3,409,- 650.95. ‘The revenue deposited in the treasury on this account for the same period were $1,- 929,298.11. Since December 1, 1884, there has been retired through the operation of the sinking fund, $20,750 of the bonded indeotsd: ness of the District, reducing the amount an- nually required for interest $770.87. Since the duties of the commissioners of the sinkinj fand of the Distriot of Columbia were devolve on the Treasurer, of the United, States by the act of Congress of June 11,1 7 a thers ‘has been retired’ $9,060,800 of the funded debt, causing a reduction in the annual Interest charge of $97,057.08. The amount Tealized from the sale of bonds, in which the 10 per cent retained from contractors in the District of Columbia was invested, as required by the act of June 11, 1878, has exceeded the sum necessary to pay the amounts iiginsliy withheld, owing to the advance in the securi- lies in wich Investments were made.
