The Annual Meeting of the Managers of the Washington City Asylum. ‘The annual meeting of the board of managers and the visitors of the Washington city orphan asylum was held yesterday afternooa at the asylum building, corner i4th and 8 streets, The old board of managers was re-elected, the vacancy caused by the death of Mra. J. W. Maury being filled by the election of Mrs. Col. Reeves. The reports of the secretary and treasurer were read and approved. There are 160 children now in the asylum. During the past year there were 29 children admitted, 16 adopted and only 1 death. The general health has been excellent and the expenditures for medicines were gratifyingly small. One thing the managers have cause to regret, however, is the marked falling off in subscriptions during the past year. The treasurer in her report said that an erroneous impression bad spread that the institution was self-supporting, and, as a | result, the subscriptions bad decreased at least | 50 per cent. The asylum is now in urgent need of funds and applications are necessarily re- jected almost every day on account of a lack of means to care for a larger number of children. During the meeting the children were as#em- bled in the large asylum chapel and took part in a brief program of songs and recitations, which greatly interested the visitors, It was a leasant sight to look on, row.after row of happy, well-fed and weli-cared-for children, beginning with a row of little ones so small as searcely to understand what it was all about; and that room fall of children gave a better idea of the year’s work than mere reports and statistics could ever do, be DISTRICT GOVERNME) T. LIQUOR LICENSES FOR POOL ROOMS, Although the Commissioners have for a time suspended action on liquor licenses they are | daily besieged by persons whose applications for | liceises have been rejected and by attorneys who file petitions and arguments for the tavor- able reconsideration of such rejected applica- | tious, Some of the arguments are interesting For instance, Mr. Leon Tobriner, as attorney for a saloon in one ot the pool rooms at Monte Carlo, raises the following question, and if the Commissioners decide it be well taken their de- cision will be hailed with joy by saloon keepers at Monte Carlo-allowing pool selling on the premises, An application was rejected by the Commissioners because gambling had been al- lowed on the premises. Mr. Tobriner makes the point that under the rulings of the court of Maryland and the Police Court of ict pool selling has been held not to be gambling, and by the ,act of Congress of | April, 1888, the making of pools is legulized in that portion of the District not covered by the cities of Washington and Georgetown, phases ahha The Donnelly License Case Postponed. ‘This morning in the Police Court when the case of Jas. D. Donnelly, charged with being an unlicensed liquor dealer, was called for trial Mr. Harry E. Davis, ex-assistant attorney for the District, entered his appearance as connse! and asked the court for a continuance until Friday of next week. Mr. Dumont declined to consent to the con- tinuance asked for, Mr. Davis told of Mr. Donnelly’s pending ap- | plication that was awaiting the decision of the | Commissioners, He referred to the action of | | the Commissioners and spoke of some of their | rulings as being arbitrary ones, He said he | had been empleyed by persons representing a ‘large part of the commercial business of the city to see whether the Commissioners were | goimg to adhere to their arbitrary rulings or | whether they were going to do what the law | Fequiires them to do. Judge Miller said that nothing would be lost by granting a continuance. The judge thought it better to wait awhile and have things The court thereupon granted the continu- ance requested, ae Cae The State and the Rights of Man. Mgr. Schroeder lectured in French at the Catholic university yesterday afternoon on the origin of civil liberty and the connection be- tween the state and human rights.

Prosecuting Attorney Dumont complained to Judge Miller in open court this morning of the | delay caused by the failure of some policemen to reach court in the morning before the court convenes. Judge Miller referred to the rule recently made to open court at 8:45 o'clock, and said that while the rule was made for the benefit of emen it Was also made for the protection prisoners, It is the intention of the court, the judge said, to send the prisoners | away each day as soon as possible in ordcr for | them to get something to eat. The policemen cause the delay and then raise the ery that it is | the fault of the court. The judge said that both Mr. Dumont and himself are always ready at the time stated, and the officers inust arrive in time if they expect an early hearing of their cases, pane See More Heralds of Spring.

The ministers union at its recent meeting in | the parlor of the Metropolitan A.M.E. church chose as the topic for the next meeting “The inroads Catholicism is making upon our peo- ple,” the discussion to be opened by Rev. Geo. W. Moore. A resolution offered by Rev. C. H. Phillips was adopted indorsing the call by the central bureau of relief for a convention to meet here February 3.as “this” convention has for its object the discussion of those sub- jects that are intended to benefit the race and adjust the wrongs that are so generally in- flicted against the negro, The union adjourned its meeting out of respect to the late Dr. Sam- uel L. Cook. eR ec PARNELL IS HOMELESS. His Mother’s Letters Have Not Reached Him for Months. The Philadelphia Press Tuesday cabled its London correspondent to call upon Mr. Charles | Stewart Parnell and convey to him the news of | his venerable mother’s reported destitution at Bordentown. The following reply was re- ceived last night from the Press London cor- respondent: ‘Mr. Parnell has no permanent residence in London, His mother's statement that she had received no answers to her letters | to her famous son for several months may be accounted for by the fact that he changes his residence from place to place to avoid harrassing callers and his whereabouts are known only to | thronged during the evening with the friends | and weil wishers of the association and also of | the genial secretary.

Mr. Lewis courteously assented, but he added: “Of course Mr. Parnell will not say anything about that old story about his mother’s poverty, It is constantly cropping up. He is an af- fectionate son; that is enough for the Ameri- can people to know.’ “As Press it left the house of commons he asked an officer at the door if Mr. Parnell's home when in London was known to any one. ‘He ain't got any; that’s what I guess,’ the officer answe The reply is given only to show how absolutely the secret of Mr. Parnell’s is guarded, doubt- Jess with good reason " Dr. Schroeder concluded with a | 4qu Catholic ideal of gov-| ® Aow Ix Taz Broon Accumulating in the joints is believed to be the cause of rheumatism. from which so many suffer at this season.
