Wi d_ hope | THE COMMISSIONERS PLEASED. ‘The Work of Congress as Viewed From the District Government Offices. Speaking of the District appropriation Dill and the work that Congress had done for the District during the session just closed, Col. Robert said toa Star reporter yesterday: That he was very much pleased, taking the ap- he sid, it a wise bill. += There are of course some things which are un- doubtedly wrong and which should not have been put init. I refer first to the clause im- posing one-half the cost of the maintenagce of the National Zoo upon the people of the Dis- trict. This I think is an outrage upon the citi- zens of the capital city. Iam very much pleased with the pool bill as passed, which prohibits gambling within the city and for one mile out- side of the boundaries thereof. I regret very much that the license bill did not become a law. for it would have been a wise measure aud one which would have gone a long way toward solving the liquor question and in- creasing the revenue of the District. There was not much money appropriated for the improve- ment of streets, but this I would not deplore had the sewer department received a liberal appropriation, for Iam heartily in favor of a complete and ‘efficient system of sewerage be- fore the improvement of streets. ‘The clause in the bill transferring the cost of the water main to the revenues of the water department in- stead of to the general fund is to be deplored, for it will be the means of reducing to the ex- tent of about £20,000 per year the extension of water mains within the District. However, it was the best thing that could be done under the circumstances.” COMMISSIONER Ross’ VIEWS. Commissioner Ross said: “I am very much pleased with the District appropriation ill and think the District has been well treated all around. Of course I am disappointed that more District bills did not get through. The engraftment of the assessment bill on the appropriation bill was [the most important | measure I think outside of the appropriation bill itself. An other important provision which seems to have escaped the general eve of the public is that al- lowing the taxpayers of the District to pay the arrears of taxes without enormous penalties up to the 20th of June next. It would have been better to have an effective license regulation and we hope to get this next winter. ‘I think the restriction upon pool selling will have a most salutary effect upon the District, as it will be the means of cleaning out some of the worst places in the District with which the police fave had to deal Ido not think that the District should have been made to pay one-half the cost of the National Zoo, but Thave already mid, everything considered the District has fared very well and the ¢ missioners have been most kindly and teously treated by both committees of Con- gress having the affairs of the District in charge.” COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS’ VIEWS. Mr. Douglass said: “The Dis through the loyal and earnest interest of the commit- tees of both honses of Congress, has accom- plished an unusual amount of favorable jegisiation. We will be enabled to fin- ish our entire schedules we expect by 1402 by virtue of the extension of the indebtedness ineurred by the forty-inch main, We have a tine appropriation for cleaning the streets, an a Iminzble addition to the assessment law of District and, to use the langnage of Colonel berry Sellers, ‘there are millions in it. ‘he appropriation for sewers is generous ai opportune, as is also the general appropriati for gas and electric lightinj e pool bill is a special providence and the Soldiers’ Home bill another. I was sorry not to get a license bill through, which wonld have completed the millenninm chai ter of the legislation. We were greatly disap- pomted that the District was not relieved from the current expenses of the ‘zoo.’ for we do not believe that it is just to the citizens. The | Benning bridge bill wasa much needed im- provement for the northeast and, for one, I shall hope that the structure will be not only useful but alittle more ornamental than our bridges have been hitherto. The appropria- tion for the addition to the female workhouse at the Washington Axylum will more than double the capacity of that branch of the in- stitution and enableu s to adopt the single-cell plan that bas proved so valuable in eastern cities and will aid very materially in requiring some remunerative industry on the part of the female prisoners, as has hitherto the ay n | been the case with the male prisoners. The refunding bill we are — especially gratified with, as it would have been impowsible to explain to our creditors abroad why this great country had not taken care of an indebtedness 60 and important. In short, we consider the Dis- trict as in a booming condition, materially and morally, ae THE LATE MICHAEL THOMPSON. A Lawyer Who Added Much to the Legal Literature of the District. Tue Star recently announced the death of Mr. Michael Thompson, formerly a leading member of the Washington bar. The death oceurred at Bastrop, Tex. Mr. Thompson was sixty-seven years old, having been born in 1824. He was admitted to the Washington bar in 1850. Soon after commencing practice he was associated with John C. Devereaux of New York city in practice before the Court of Claims and he also assisted Mr. Devereaux in the preparation of his digest of the carliest de- cisions of that court, which labor is duly ac- knowledged in the body of the work. as he could get time from the more arduous labors of his practice, in preparing an abstract of the collection laws of the District of Colum- bia, which was published in “Brown's Collec- tion Laws.” This work was highly commended by the profession. He also compiled and pub- lished an “Abstract of the Laws of the District of Columbia,” which inet with great fe vor. The | legal work, however, by which Col. Thompson | is best, known is his “Analytical Digest of the | Laws of the District of Columbia.” ‘This work met with the entire approbation of the lead: members of the Washington bar and was, unti | afew years ago, when the accumulation of new laws rendered it somewhat obsolete, found in the library of neariy every lawyer in the Dis- | trict and was frequently quoted as an authority | Lefore the courts. | Col. Thompson procured the first divorce | ever granted in the District of Columbia, that | of Clark agt. Clark. He was eminently success | ful in the prosecution of divorce eases, but his practice was by no means contined to this class of caves, for he has been sole and leading coun- sei in many important chancery and civil law cuses involving nice questions of law. In the great contest of the De Vaughn will case, which he was opposed by Messrs. Moore and Bright, Hughes, Denver and Peck, he succeeded in establiching the claim of hisclients toa quer- ter ofa million dollars, During Col. Thomp- sons connection with the Washington bar he more law students and brought young men tothe bar than any otner yer in Washington. Thompson had taken every degree of obtainable in the United States. At the time of his death he had under preparation and had almost completed a “Digest of the Laws of the Hawaiian Islands.” —_— In Memory of Gen. Sherman. Gen.

Just what extent of financial responsibility is meant by this instruction was not announced. The gate-receipt question was left over night to be settled today, as it Se conten- nm. THE NATIONAL AGREEMENT CONTRACTS. Two contracts were adopted for the use of all national agreement clubs. One of them is for a soven-months’ season, with s renewal clause for one or more seasons; the other is for 8 year, without any renewal clause. Under the latter form salaries are to be paid in twelve monthly or twenty-four semi-monthly install- ments, and there is a stipulation that the player is not to be required to perform any service between sensons, but shall be sub- servient to the wishes of the club signing him and to the national board in regard to his physical training and moral discipline. Amend. ments were made to the constitution of the league and the national agreement so that these new provisions in the contracts will not stand in law when aclub withdraws from the agreement. ‘The board held « conference with President White of the International League and it was decided toadmit that organiza to the terms of the national agreement. NEW MEN FOR THE LOCAL CLUB. ‘The local managers have signed Paul Hines to play in the center field and Pitcher Carsey, late of the California Leugue, which he led as pitcher last season. He played for Oakland, has a rec- ord asa former member of the Metropolitans, was tried by the New York league club one year and discarded for Sharretts to the Inter disgust of the Gotham magnates, and isin every iy ag an addition to the local team. Hines’ signing is a good deal of a surprise to the home folks, out of the inner circle, ax it was generally thought that he had been set aside in the minds of the directors, Yet his name will not be greeted with any very strong signs of disappointment. ‘There is one battery yet to be obtained and then the team will be ready to begin work. A MEETING LAST SIGHT. A meeting of the directors of the club was held last night for the purpose of transacting certain business attendant upon the opening of the playing season. It was decided to issue 400 season tickets. good for seventy games that will be played on the home grounds, including ad- mission to the grand stand, at $20 apiece. This will place the cost to the spectator who holds one of these tickets at 28 cents for ench game.

There is a professional burglar in the city, and his many operations have puzzled the police almost as badly as those of the notorious host Robber,” who was finally captured and put away for a score of years. This daring burglar has thus far managed to rob a number of residences in the vicinity of Massachusetts avenue between 12th and 14th streets. In each instance he gained entrance through the aec- ond-story windows while the occupants were down stairs, and until last night he always sue- ceeded in getting off unnoticed and with a con- siderable amount of plunder. Among other houses be robbed was that of Senator McPher- fon. Last night he visited the residence of Mr. Martin F. Morris, No. 1314 Massachusetts ave- nue. He climbed over the wall in the rear and from the yard he climbed up the porch and got through ‘the window. He then got into the room of Mr. Morris’ sisters. He raised the | light, which had been turned down low, and this attracted the attention of the ladies, who went to the room to ascertain the cause of the bright light, and saw the burglar searching tl bureau drawers. The Indies were between the burglar and his only avenue of escape, and, to clear the way, he pusbed them both down, but did not injure them badly. Rushing to the rear window the burglar climbed out, slid down the pillar of the porch, sealed the wall and escaped. Miss Mortis attracted the other members of | the household by her cries of “Police” and “Help.” and two policemen who were in the neighborhood, as well as other persons, also re- sponded. The burglr. after reaching the ley, ent out without being seen by those who had gathered in front of the house. The ladies got a good look at the man, but in the excitement they did not get a good descrip tion of him. He is a white man, and the police have no doubt that he is the man who has been doing all the robberies in that neighborhood. sesenast seipoamts Appointed Guardians. In the case of E. Francis Riggs et al. agt.

The publication in Te Stan a few days ago of the recovery of a silver badge of the “Knock-about” Club from Sergeant Ed. J. Eg- gleston, who was arrested as a deserter, was the means of finding the owner of the badge. He was C. 8. Washington, who is on the United States steamer Newark at Philadelphia. In ad- dition to losing barge, the loser says he was robbed of a small amount of money, a scarf pin and other articles. The articles, he says, were stolen on February 22. comin. § The Strong Case, In the Strong will case (Strong agt.

Agent Key of the Humane Society had a hore collar in the Police Court yesterday to use as evidence in the case of President Griswold of the Anacostia railroad, who was charged with cruelty to animals in permitting a sore- shouldered horse to be worked to one of the cara. There were pieces of sacking tied around the collar to rest on the sores, and the prints of the sores were upon it. President Griswold did not appear for trial, and his 25 collateral was forfeited. Judge Miller instructed Agent Key to hold on to the collar in case the defend- ant appears tor trial. pronase ane A Wife Wants a Divorce. Clara B. Reynolds has, by Mr. C.

Dr. Bernhardt Talks to the Pupil About Goethe's Lyric and Epic Poems, Yesterday at the Washington High School Dr. Wilhelm Bernhardt gave the firat of hie four lectures on Goethe, more especially on Goethe's lyric and epic poems. Fifty years ago, said the doctor, Germany was to most Englishmen and Americans “the vacant land of gray vapor and chimeras.” Today things have greatly changed; readers of German in both countries have increased a hundred-fold. What Carlisle and Lewes have done toward populer- izing the study of the German language and literature, and especially the study of Goethe in England, has been accomplished by Emerson and Bayard Taylor in this country. In his “Studies in German Literature” Bayard Taylor “Ifa cabinet picturo will suffice for Klopstock and Wieland, a life-size sketch for Lessing and Schiller, I feel the need of a can- vas of heroic proportions when I come to por- tray Goethe, the god. ashe might be called, who sits alone on the summit of the German Parnassus.” In what consists that particular grandeur of Goethe? First, in his universal. ity. The general rule among men being that achievement is result of — con- centrated effort ‘oue direction, Goethe reversed this rule; the broader his field of action became, the more splendid was his achievement. He has cultivated and brough: to perfection every possible kind of poetical and prose writing: he is the acknowl- edged master in lyric, epic and dramatic po- etry. including the operetta and \audeville; he excelled in novel and short story writing, in description of travel, biography, didactics and rhetoric: even the ‘exact sciences, as optics, botany, geology and meteorology, were treat by him in a masterly way. itis well known that by his studies in ‘osteology he discovered the inter-maxillary bone and also that his “‘Sciente of Colors” was for a while accepted ay having superseded Newton's. Thus Goetke is, .to quote Emerson, “the soul of hix ceutu the type of culture, the amateur of all arte and sciences and events.” Goethe is als» the most subjective poet in German literature; not only his poems, but his dramas and novels, are “fraginents of the grand confession of his life.” The metrical form of his poctry and the style of his prose writings come near perfection, his diction being at once concise and full, rich, clear, unpretending and mclodions. Dr. Ber hardi showed how well Goethe's poems may serve as acommentary to the great poct’s life; then he pointed out in what their characteri tie and peculiar beauty consists and how youe of them diction and rhythm are i fect hat ting feature of this lecture was the reading of some of the best English transla- tions of about a dozen of Goethe's most famous poems by Misa Lewin. In bis next lecture, which is to take place Wednesday, March 18, Dr. Bernhardt will dwell upon Goethe’ . “Goetz von Berlichin- gen,” “Egmont,” “Iphigenia auf ‘Twuris” and “Torquato ‘Tasso pS + SES ‘The W.
