is) PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS. Axsavon's Graxp Orns Hovsr.—The spec- tacular or melodrama of “The Sea of Ice” was well placed upon the stage st Albaugh’s last night. The Interest centered in the perform- ance of Mr. Creston Clarke, who assumed the dual character of the adventurer Carlos and Pr Del Monte, a Mexican nobleman, Mr. Clarke has a fine stage presence, a mobile coun- tenance, easy and graceful carriage and a voice pleasing in tone and well under control. He reminds one more of his uncle—Edwin Booth— than of his father—Jobn 8. Clarke—one of the best comedians America has produced. Mr. Clarke is capable of much better work than this play gives him opportunity for, still his formance is conscientious and painstaking. lis support is in the main good. “The Sea of Ice” will be repeated every night and at mati- nees tomorrow and on Saturday afternoon. New Nationa Taxater.—One of the best of modern plays, “Jim the Penman,” delighted a good-sized audience at the New National Theater last night. The company, with the exception of Mr. Jos. Whiting, were new here, but all fulfilled the requirements of their sev- eral parts. Mr. Baker is not W. J. Ferguson by sny means, but Mr. Kent ,;when he becomes more at ease in the character, will make a Baron Hartfeldt equal to Alexander Salvini, Miss Wilton was a little constrained in the earlier scenes, but in the third act she showed con- siderable power and intensity. Mr. Whiting has so thoroughly identified himself with the title roll that it only need be said that his per- formance last night was fully up to ary that he has heretofore given in the part. Those who remember Mr. Whiting when he was a bebe | mtleman in the stock company at the ol ational in this city cannot but be gratified at his artistic development. “Jim the Penman” will hold the boards all the week and at mati- nees Wednesday and Saturday. i Harris’ Bisou Txeatrr.—Miss Lillian Lewis made her first apeeree before a Washington audience last night at Harris’ Bijou as Cora in “Article 47.” The play is, of course, familiar and The Weather.

Moore’s annual report with more than ordinary interest. They are anxious to know what their chief is going to recommend con- cerning their salaries during the coming year. ‘They now receive $60 per month and it is thought the major will recommend an increase of #15 per month, making their salaries #900 per annum. Last year such an increase was recommended, but the Commissioners saw fit to disregard it. Itis claimed on behalf of the station keepers that they perform more clerical work than the average government clerk. Then there are many responsibilities resting on them that other clerks do rot have. LOOKING FOR PROMOTION. It has been suggested that the station keepers should be ranked next to the lieu- tenants or be placed on the same footing as the sergeants, as often they are alone in the station and there is a prisoner who wants to leave collateral. He cannot doso because there is noone about who has authority to accept collateral and thus a prisoner is sometimes forced to remain in the cell for an hour or two after his friends come to his aid. If the station keeper was ranked as asergeant and given authority to accept collateral this trouble would be avoided. THE QUESTION OF LEAVES OF ABSENCE has also been mentioned. The station keepers are clerks in the employ of the District gov- ernment, and as such they think they are en- titled to thirty days’ leave, the same as other clerks, but they only get ten days, the same as the members of the police force. ‘Uhey are of the opinion that they are more entitled to thirty days than other clerks, because their hours are longer and they are required to do more work. Those on duty in the day time verve ten hours per day, while the night men = required to spend twelve hours in the sta- ion. a Boys’ Tennis Tcurnament.

Death of Mr. N. B. Fithian. Napoleon B. Fithian, who died yesterday, was a well-known member of the Grand Army of the Republic and past commander of John A. Rawlins Post, No. 1. He served through the war in a New Jersey regiment, having entered the army at the age of thirteen as a drummer boy.

The bad feeling existing between the McDon- ald family on one side and Policemen Cutler and Hodge on the other was referred to in the Police Court this morning by Gen, Carrington, who appeared as counsel for a youthful mem- ber of the McDonald family called “Jimmie.” The little fellow was charged with having thrown stoneson the street, but Policeman IN JUDGE MILLER’S COURT. He Sends 100 Prisoners to Jail or Work House in a Weck—Today’s Cases. The arrests in this city during a week average about four hundred, and the number of cases heard in the Police Court about three hundred, It is estimated that about one-third of the ar- rested persons are sent down, so that the jail and work house are required to accommodate & hundred new-comers every week. There are now many long-sentenced prisoners in the work house, as all the regulars are given the ex- tent of the law—three months. This morning’ list netted twenty-three prisoners in the dock, with a number out on collateral. A CASE OF 'SPICION.

The judge accepted her personal bonds, DISORDERLY COLORED BOYS FINED. Wilson Despart, Buddie Nixon and Frank Stewart, colored boys, were arraigned for being disorderly near 11th and Q streets last night. Policeman Kendig arrested them while they were amusing themselves by tossing gravel at pedestriahs. Despart told the officer that he was the leader of the gang and he was “tough.” His “toughness” caused him further trouble and the policeman tapped him lightly with his black jack. They were find #5 each, Mamie Brooks, a resident of Nailor’s alley, was charged with having violated every pro- vision of the vagrancy act. She made no denial and was given three months, Henry Isherwood promised to leave the city and go to Hampton if the judge would release him from a charge of profanity. His request was granted and his personal bonds were taken. Sherman Coleman, colored, was fined $5 for disorderly conduct in East Washington, ——_— THE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL. Facts from the Annual Report—The Additions to the Building. The Commissioners have received the annual report of the children’s hospital. There were admitted during the year 199 patients, 105 of whom were colored. The number treated during the year amounted to 247, 167 of whom were discharged and 13 died, leaving 67 remain- ing in hospital June 30, 1889. There were 8,277 prescriptions compounded in the dispen- sary during the year. The children’s hos- pital was established in the year 1870, since which time it has been in successful operation, Beside the cost of maintenance the land, build- ings, furniture and appliances, now valued at $200,000, have been purchased, all of which, with the exception of an appropriation by Congress ten years ago of $10,000 toward the building and $5,000 annually toward its main- tenance have been paid for by private contri- butions, NEW BUILDING. The report says that the present building ceased to be adequate and the board of direc- tors ordered additions which, when completed, will double its present capacity. These addi- tions wiil be completed early the coming year, he present income of the hospital from rivate contributions must go toward paying for them, An appropriation of $10,000 for maintenance is asked for the coming fiscal year. somites To Attend the Catholic Centennial. Cardinal Gibbons has received fifty-eight ac- ceptances from bishops and other church dig- nitaries to the invitation to be present at the hierarchy centennial in Baltimore next Novem- ber. The indications are that about seventy prelates and churchmen of the higher orders will participate in the celebration. Monsignor Montes de Oca, bishop of San Luis Potosi, Mex- aco, has written that he will attend. ae The Aluminium Age. From the Chicago Journal, It is possible that the aluminium age will follow the iron age, just as the iron age followed the bronze age, and the bronze age followed that of the stone. In this respect it is inter- esting to note that the discoverer of the only cheap method of obtaining the metal has just died and the cqrefully kept secret has died with him, Once more the entire world is a sufferer through the avarice of «single individual. ‘The secret has been sought by thousands of scientists unsuccessfully, and will continue to be. Some day, sooner or later, it will be again found and the use of the metal aluminium will follow the use of iron as rapidly as electricity is supplanting steam. The results that will follow the substitution of aluminium for iron are enough to astound even the educated thinkers of the nineteenth century. It is ob- tained from common clay and is the greatest constituent of the earth's surface. In other words, the whole earth is animmense aluminium mine. The mills that produce it will be lo- cated in the most convenient place, anywhere, everywhere, and the ore, without mining or freighting, will be found at their doors. Its cost will eventually become absolutely trifling. It weighs but third as much as iron and but about three times as much as wood—it is, in fact, the lightest metal capable of resisting the action of air in the presence of moisture. It is the most sonorous of metals, It is as beautiful as silver and does not tarnish. Fused with cop- per it will form acompound as beautiful as gold and at the same time as strong as iron; it is as hard as zine and less roe affected b: acids than any metals except gold and plati- num, Thus it will be seen to possess nearly every desirable quality that a metal can have, ——se0—______ Better Theater Orchestras. From the New York Commercial Advertiser. Avery timely and sensible propaganda is that with reference to the orchestras in our city theaters, It is a subject which has already too long escaped the serious attention of the public at large, and which, intimately associated as it with the general success of representations in our various play houses, seems in no ‘4 to have thus far been influenced by the spirit of rogress characteristic of matters musical and soe ic in this city within the past decade. Speaking in a general way the “selections” to be heard in our best metropolitan theaters dur- ing the intermissions ‘of a play and previous to the rise of the curtain are o1 infinitely lower plane of artistic merit than not only the rformance itself, but even the mere inci- lental details of stage and house decoration, of lights and play bills which the careful manager well knows are one and all factors of success, Of our less prominent places of amusement it is needless to speak, as all initiative in the line of improvement must come from the lead- ing theaters, That the present state of affairs has quietly been permitted to go on so long for want of a protesting voice seems well nigh in- edible, for not only is the quality of the mu- sic chosen for performance in a great measure inferior per se, but its rendering oueeey leaves everything tobe desired. New Yor may well claim to be musically on a par with London, it ee in certain ts, in advance of the r capital, and yet the spirit that leads Mr. Henry Irving to commission Sir Arthur Sullivan to compose the music for his “Macbeth” production, or Mr. Beerbohm Tree to engage so distinguished a leader as Herr Carl Armbruster to conduct the Haymarket Hodges did not prove the charge, as he testi- fed thas the throwing occurred on a vacant lot The boy works in the navy yard, driving a and today he had to remain home from to defend the charge made against him, Witnesses for the boy, and there were several of them, told a story entirely different from that of the officer. According to their testi- mony the boy did not or stones at hegre as the officer testified, but threw peac! a to drive the animal into the stable. theater orchestra, is all but unknown here.
