Police Regutations Which Should Be Enforeed—A Suggestion. aries Numerous complaints are being made of chickens, dacks and geese that are permitted ‘to run at large and that damage flower beds and grass plats and roost on front doors and Porches. Some of these complaints are made to the police and others to the health officer, but both these departments of the District government disclaim any responsibility in the matter, although the police regulations provide that any person who permits fowls to run at large shall pay a fine, and also provide that upon second conviction of the owner any member of the police force may kill the fowls complained of. Then there is a section of the same regulations which provides for the im- pounding of fowls at large and a charge of iifty cents for each fowl is to be made by the yundimaster. Po ‘THE PRESENT LAW. “The law is clear enough,” said a health office official, ‘‘and the police can prosecute the owners of the fowls complained of and can kill the fowls upon a second conviction, but the poundmaster is powerless to carry out the pro- visions of the regulations which apply to him. In the first place he has not the necessary ap- pliances for catching them nor has he any coops'in which to keep them.” AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN, Chief Clerk McGinn of the health office thinks that if the law cannet be executed as it stands at present there is one way to abate the nuisance that will be effectual, “What is that way?” “Make chickens common property and I'll guarantee that there will not be a fowl in sight in twenty-four hours.” Among the complaints received by the po- lice was one from a minister whose front door | step was kept in an unclean condition by other people's fowls and whose parking was robbed | of grass seed and his flower bed ruined. The | reverend gentleman complained to Maj. Moore, but he did not get relief, He wasreferred to Poundmaster Einstein and the failure of the dog catcher to capture the chickens caused the minister to address a letter to Maj. Moore, in which he invites the poundmaster to pay a visit to his church and listen to asermon, he taking for his text: “And Simon igh ie maa Capt. Taylor, who resides on Indiana ave- nue, and many other zens have also made complaints, ee ae The Boy and His Spring Gun. A little red-haired twelve-year-old boy named Louis Snell was in the Police Court this morn- ing, charged with firing a gun in the Smithson- ian grounds and with trespassing on the park. Park Watchman Thomas Morris appeared as Prosecuting witness, He had with him a spring gun, which he took from the Soy, and a dead bluebird which the boy had killed with it. Judge Miller asked the boy's father where nis son got the gun and he answered he did not know. The boy said that he purchased the gun from another boy and went out killing birds for the manat the Zoo,who said he wanted ti®m to feed to the eagles. Judge Miller said that policemen cannot go into families and regulate children. That is the duty of the parents, and if they permit their children to carry these dangerous toys about the public streets and parks they must expect to pay the penalty. In consideration of the boy’s youth the judge said he would only fine him on one charge and would suspend the other, The boy's father paid a fine of $5. _ aed Coen Funerals. The funeral services over the remains of the late Ezra L. Stevens were held at the Congrega- tional church yesterday afternoon in the pres- ence of a large audience. Rev. Dr. Newman Columbia commandery, No. 2, of which the deceased was the first eminent com- mander, had charge of the Masonie si 8, which were conducted by Eminent Commander Geo. Gibson and Prelate J. C. Allen. The commandery had one hundred and twenty in line, including twenty members from DeMolay and three from Washington commandery. Five members of Cargon courmandery came in from Asbury Park, N with theremains. Potomac commandery, 3, of Georgetown, turned out with thirty-five members. The proces- sion was then formed and proceeded to Oak Hill, where the interment was made. At the head marched the Marine band. B. B. French lodge, Columbia commandery and the Masonic veterans association were present as bodies, Potomac commandery, the Scottish Rite and a Masons were well represented in the ine of mourners. The pall bearers were less membership than stitution of this order, It was referred to the committee on territory. A resolution authorizing that mileage be paid delegates attending the sessions of the conven- tion was referred to the committee on laws. The convention then adjourned until 9:30 o'clock this morning. ENTERTAINING THE DELEGATES. An interesting entertainment was tendered the visiting delegates last night at Edel’s hail.

Last night Officer Kaucher arrested a colored man named Solomon Moore, who is charged with having some weeks ago assaulted Mrs. Annie Runner, a widow residing near Piscata- way, Md. It is alleged that Moore lived at the | farm and one night entered Mrs. Runner's! house snd committed the assault, but was | htened off by the screams of Mrs. Runner her daughter. Modre was suspected to be assailant and left the neighborhood shortly afterward. He protests his innocence and says he left Maryland because he had been warned to do so. He is held until the Maryland authorities can be heard from. Jos. Ar- nold and C. G. Harman were the men who had been arrested. ‘jana The Ibsen Readings. A good deal of interest among society people is attached to the readings from the plays of Henrik Ibsen, which are to be given on the afternoons of the 22d and 29th of March by Mrs. Erving Winslow of Boston. These read- ings will take place in the commodious parlors of well-known Washingtoa ladies. The Ibsen plays have become quite the popular thing among the cultivated and feahionsble people of | Boston, New York. Philadelphia and Chicago, and the new plays of the famous Norwegian, under Mrs. Winsiow’s careful introduction, will doubtless meet with equal favor in the draw- ing rooms of Washington fashionables. Mrs, Winslow has made a careful study of these | «i her interpretation of them Is recog- | remarkable. She nses her judgment | in suiting the Norwegian dramas to the Ameri- can public and eliminates from the text every- ‘thing that might be questioned on the score of morality or good taste. —— New Philosophy Concerning Creation. A large audience assembled last night at Na- tional University ball to hear Rev. Frank Sewall upon the problem of creation, this being the third topic in the course upon the new philos- epby. Following the philosophical inquiry | into the all of being, which must be love in its | isdom in its form and use in its © was shown that love is the only elt. | moving, self-orizinating force and wisdom the euly self-determining force. These constitute S person. As the end or motive of a thing is ot the same as its cause, as its cause is not the same ag ite effect, just so surely God as love == the d wisdom is ‘nut the same as creation. Ipsum, itself, makes out of iteelf that which is not itgelf. The self is infinite, natare is finite. Self is life, nature is not life, but receptive of life. Self is spirit, not self is matter. Love seeks the existence of something out of itself. Infuite love and wisdom are the first eternal Marriage union ont of which is born the cre- ated universe. Wisdom, mother of forms, gives to love the objects it desires. pom en spheres Prof. Edgerly; soprano solo, Mr. C. B. Smith, and an exbibition by the W.L.LC. mascots, — Slight Fires.

On Wednesday® last the orphans court at Pittsburg issued a decree distributing the fands and securities of the estate of the late David Hostetter, of “bitters” fame. The amount was $5,900,000. After the death of Dr. David Hostetter no will was found, and con- sequently, in the court's decree, two sisters of Dr. David Hostetter, Mrs. Stoner of Allegheny and Mrs. Smey of Lancaster, a widow wit five children, tind no share in their brother's fortune, The two sisters have engaged coun- sel and will make a vigorous effort to secure an equal share with the heirs of their deceased brother David. The claim upon which they will base their contest is that in 1855 their father transferred his business to their brother without valuable consideration of any kind; that at the time of the transfer their father was incompetent to transact busi- ness, and that, therefore, the transfer was il- legal, und they are entitled each toa er id interest in their father’s estate, The defe have engaged counsel in Washington epee Suit will be entered atan early late, © Se enennes edken ites or Mark Twain Enjoined. In the court of common pleas in New York Saturday Judge Daly granted the injunction which Edward H. House asked for against Samuel L. Clemens, Mrs. Abby Sage Richard- son and Daniel Frohman, restraining them from giving Mrs. Richardson's dramatization of “Prince and Pauper.” Mr. House averred thathe “had made an agreement with Mr. Clemens to dramatize the latter's story, “The Prince and the Pauper,” but that Mr. Clemens had made a subsequent arrangement with Mra, Richardson, who had made the dramatization which was produced at the Broadway theater, Concerning some conversation of which House and Clemens gave radically different accounts Judge Daly says that Mr. House would be much more likely to zemember exactly what was said, he being an invalid and accustomed to do all his letter writing and transact his business methodically, while Clemens was a busy and popular author, and therefore not so favorably situated for remembering with exact- ness.

Annie Chomo, who was indicted with John Kenderosch for the murder of her husband, John Chomo, at Pottstown last November, com- mitted suicide in her cell yesterday at Norris- town, Pa., by hanging herself with a silk hand- kerchief, which she tied to s bar of the cell door. ‘The keeper's attention was attracted by the cries of her three-months-old child. Ken- derosch’s trial commenced on Thursday and he was acquitted Saturday. After his acquittal the woman became very melancholy and before being taken from the court room cried out: “Me hang! Me hang!” Shortly before she com- mitted the deed she had her babe in her arms singing to it, A Hero Dead. Maj. von Bredow, the hero of the gallant charge at the battle of Mars la Tour, in the French-Prussian war, during which the seventh cuirassiers and sixteenth ublans were annibi- lated, is dead. The achievement is considered the most chivalric in the annals of the Prussian army and has been celebrated in and story, notably ia the poem Ls Rig th, ce the which ranks with Tennyson's “ Six Hundred.” ———_—ee0________ The Vice President in Florida.

Proposed Erection of Another Building on the Smithsonian Grounds. The ig architect of the treasury has written a letter to the chairman of the Sen- ate committee on public buildings and grounds, in response to a letter of inquiry, recommend- ing the bill for the construction of a building for the occupancy of the geological survey. The letter includes a report from Major Powell as to the character of the building needed. The bill forthe purpose was introduced by Mr. Teller and provides for the erection of the building on the reservation between the nae tional museum and the army medical museum at a cost of $800,000. The letter says that from computations made in the supervising archi- tect’s office, based on the information given in oy Powell's report, it is found that such a building, five stories high, with attic and base- ment, arranged to give about 20,000 ear feet of floor area in each story, to be built of brick, with pressed brick facing and stone trimmings, of fire-proof construction, complete throughout, could be built for the sum pro- posed. Such a building, Mr. Windrim sa; will afford sufficient accommodations for the present and ay yell needs of the survey, and will contain 50 per cent utore floor space than the jises now rented (which are. ine adequate}, Providing suitable rooms for lab- oratories, library, reading rooms, drawing and engraving rooms and rooms for study and the executive offices, as well as space for storage. The New Gun Boat Concord Launched. The U.S. gun boat Concord was successfully launched Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Roach’s ship yard, Miss Minnie Coates, daughter of the mayor, christened the vessel. The launch was witnessed by many people, in- cluding a large delegation of citizens from New York and prominent men from Concord, Mass., from which city the vessel takes its name. Judge John 8. Keyes and David Ches- ter French were among the latter and brought with them a handsome statuette representing a minute man, from the citizens of Concord, as a present to the officers of this recent addition to the navy. Stoves in Germany. United States Consul Monaghan of Mannheim ‘in his report to the State department says: “It may interest our manufacturers and people in general to know that a great preference is shown in Germany for American and Irish stoves. Singular as it may seem, Ireland, be- cause of her poverty, and America by her skill, have developed, in the matter of stoves, much superior article to any hitherto known in Europe. Both are great favorites, but the American, chiefly for its cheaj feet though why its cost of production should be than that of the Irish I cannot say, for it is much more complicated, at least with doors and or- namentations. So great favorites are both these stoves that factories run by stock com- Panies"have sprung up and are every day springing up or increasing in size all over the empire. The German will never import what he can make, no matter if nis product is by no meen 80 Rie Le eareerie pene all its = as 6 origin: ‘ick up any daily paper and you are mareto find advertisements of American and Irish stoves, ‘Amerikanische und Irische oefen.’ The American or Irishman who flatters him- self that he is going to see a stove sent from Belfast or New York is much in error. “The Irish stoves and the American ones are made right here in Mannheim or its neighborhood, It is only the patern that America or Ireland suppiies, nothing more, not even the workmen. ese stoves not only are being bought when new ones are wanted or needed, bus are taking the place of the old pore celain stoves (which burn only wood) in many houses and offices, the Irish pattern, because of its price, being bought by the rich and the Ameri- can by the poor. I had the satisfaction of going through one of the factories accom- —— by an American of German birth, a rother of the owner of the factory here, who hopes to introduce these German-made stoves into the United States. I could not help won- dering, when I saw the rude manner in which much ef the work was done and the slow- ness of manipulation, why we could not manufacture and export cheap enough to compete here, ut above all to keep the South American and African trade from Germans. I feel perfectly satisfied that Americans could produce their own pat- terns and the Irish stoves much cheaper t! do the Germans. The great cause for these two kinds of stoves being such favorites is their Capacity for saving the consumption of coal in ® country where the latter isso dear. These stoves are destined,sooner or later, to replace all the wood-burning stoves, for, dear as coal is as & commodity for household use, wood is much more so. RutI write to suggest that an effort be made to secure South American and other trade, which Germans will be reaching after just as soon as they find themselves fitted up to have s surplus over the home demand, which, atthe present rate of growth and pro- duction, must be very soon. Foreign Notes of Interest. e Emperor William yesterday sent to the minister of the interior, Herr Von Boetticher, the decoration of the order of the Black Eagle for his services in aiding the emperor to carry out his reforms. Rumors are current in Ber- lin that Boetticher will succeed Bismarck as chancellor. The emperor of Austria in a court dinner at Peath complimented Tisza and regretted his resignation. The governor of Natal has apologized for the demonstration at Johannesburg against the South African Republic. Prof. Owen, the scientist, has had a relapse.

The parliamentary election in the Stamford division of Lincelnshire, England, resulted in a victory for Mr. Cust, conservative, over Mr. Priestly, Gladstonian. A number of students in Prague marched to the houses of several old Czech professors and acted in such a riotous manner that the mili- tary had to be called out. Before the soldiers could quell the disturbance they had to charge the students with fixed bayonets. ——— +0 Louisville is threatened with a water famine, owing to an engine breaking down.
