At first the idea of a AMUSEMENTS, Anavon's.—The descent of ability from father to son is something that is not popularly believed in, and when young Emmet undertook to play the’ picces that had served as a setting for his father’s talents there was a great deal of doubt expressed as to the outcome. The success which ke has scored sets these doubts atrest and makes J. K. Emmet, jr. one of the recognized figures on the American stage. He Las not challenged comparison with his father, and it would therefore be useless and uncalled for to measure him by his distinguished prede- cessor. He has preserved the simple, dainty melodies, the pretty touches of humor and the delicate appeals to pathos that have always con- stituted so greata charm with a performance with which the name of Frifz is connected. ‘This week it is “Fritz in Ireland,” and the young German found a graceful impersonator in the young actor Mr. Emmet has a great deal in lus favor. He is prepossessing in ap- pearance, the resemblance to his father off as well as on the stage being something wonder- ful, he is easy in his movements and Las pro- nounced musical talents. The wize of the au- dience showed confidence on the part of the public and there was no sign of disappoint- ment. The audience was greatly pleased with Baby Spencer and Master Charles Halvorsen. ‘The supporting company was found equal to all requirements. Some novel musical features machine that would thoroughly wash and dry dishes without a towel or breaking or chipping them seemed preposterous, buta trial of it con- ¥inces us that it 1s not only all you claimed for it, but that it is a necessary adjunct to pleasant ousekeeping. ‘Very respectfully, James A.

NatioxaL Tueatae.—Tbat popular organiza- tion, the Duff Opera Company, appeared in the New National last night ' with the very best results. The opera, “The Queen's Mate,” was given in @ tuneful and satisfactory mann showing the effects of intelligent leadership rehearsal and of individual merits in the parte of the performers. LeCoq's opera is nots familiar work to most theatre-goers, and the adaptation by Harry Paulton was not only sprightly and entertaining, but had someting of the effect of novelty. Several members of the cast are peo- ple in whom Washington theater-goers are es- Helen Bertram is '¥ warmly we:comed, and her recognition to artistic excellence in her work rather that to personal popularity, great as the latter e. Mise Bettina Gerurd showed gratify- ing improvement since her lust appearance here, and is rwpidly tuifilling the predictions that were made for her when sie went on the stuge. ‘Ihe persounel of the company is throughout good. W. H. Clark is a remarkable basso, Richard Carroll a good comedian and the re mounting of the opera is remarkabiy fine, the scenery and costumes throughout very beauti- fal. Acapemy or Musio.—-The stars and stripes and the Fourth of July were on top last night atthe Academy of Music, and the salvation of the country was effected about every fifteen minutes amid such tumultuous applause as has never been heard in that place of amuse- ment. It was the occasion of the first appear- ance of Litt and Davis’ naval drama, in five acts, “The Ensign,” by Wm. Haworth, and surely no play ever received a more vociferous and popular iutroduction than “Ihe Ensign’ did. ‘Ike house was full from ceiling to or- chestra rail, and the very first act caught them and never let go. The plot hinges on the Mason and Slidell incident of our late war, and there is love mixed with patriotism and treach- ery and villainy in stirring proportions, Mr. Mamballas Ensign Baird, the lover, did most excellent work throughout, and Miss Ruth Car- penter as Alice Greer, his sweetheart, was charming in face, figure and manner.’ Mr. Faweett's Corsican Dudiry was @ fine, strong character, smiling at times and at times roughly pathetic. Mr. Wright as Middie Watson and Miss Seymour as Dot were ideal lovers of the adolescent age. The entire cast is unusually strong. Vresident Lincoln, Secre- tary Welles, Admiral Farragut and Capt: Wilkes were made up to the life and were striking features of the play. The scenery was realistic \d correct in detail, noticeably so that of the ship's decks and the cabinet room at the White House. Naturally im a first performance there must be hitches, but there were fewer hitel than might have been expected last night. The appearance of the President bringing a reprieve to the condemned ensign was the result of a cut in the play. which is to be remedied tonight, when there will be complete harmony of detail. “The Ensign” begins with a most remarkable boom, and when it bas been trimmed and smoothed as experience will dictate it will be a four time winuer and stir up more patriotism than a half dozen wars with Chile aud a whole string of political mass meetings. Hauzis’ Buov Turatae.—{hat soul-thrilling Irish drama, ‘True Irish Hearts,” opened Week's engagement at the Bijou hast night under auspicious circumstances. ‘The theater was crowded and the frequent applause demon- strated more than words the success and popu- larity of the play. Great attention has been paid to the mounting of the play and the scenic effects are ail good. “The company is complete aud tells the story of “True Irish Hearts” in a most acceptable ‘manner. As Larry Lanagan, a lad with @ true Irish heart, Mr. Ed. Brennan was thoroughly equal to the dificult role and portrayed the character of the light-hearted irish boy, the friend of every one in distress, with considerable ability. There is a earth of comedy in the play and it crops out all during the performance. Catchy songs and dances also coutribute to the enjoyment. Again to- night. Kennay’s Lycerm Tarater.—Gus Hill, the champion club swinger of the world, at the head of a company of vaudeville artists of we known ability was the attraction at Kernan’s ‘Theater last night. The program was a long and varied one and the several acts were se- lected to suit the different tastes. Fields and Hanson repested their side-splitting musical turn; Mason and Ralston, the original one and a half, convulsed every one; Estelle Wellington did a song and dance of considerable merit and Al Keeves did a very funny banjo specialty. Marion and Keene sang sweetly, as did M: Mand Beverly, and Huber and ‘Aliyne con- tributed a novel sketch. Again tonight. N. Y. Syaruony Onchestea.—Paderewski makes his first appearance in Washington to- morrow night at the.second Damrosch concert. The interest aroused by the advent of this brilliant pianistic genius is something phe- nomenal Crowds flock to hear him wherever he appears. As a performer of Kubinstein's massive works he is without an equal, and that master's fourth concerto he will play tomor- row night. The group of solos will serve to display his powers in different directions Mr. Damrosch will play the romantic “Lenore” symphony of Kat, a string serenade by Volk- manu aud a Wagner selection. Adiuission tickets will be sold at the door at $1.50 each. Rorr. J. Benpertr.—The second lecture in the course at the E Street Baptist Church will take piace tonight and the lecturer will be the hamorist Robert J. Burdette, who has chosen for his subject ‘Ihe Kise and Fall of the Mius- tuche.” Mr. Burdette’s reputation is well known, he isa great favorite in this city and he will uo doubt be greeted by a crowded audi- ence tonight. Bosrox Syarnoxy Oncmestra—The next concert by the Boston Symphony Orchestra will take place at the Congregational Church on Wednesday evening, the 10th instant, and of seats will commence Thursday next at Ellis’ music store. The work of the orchestra Uknown and its popularity is so great in this city that no special comment is neces- sary. ‘The soloists will be Mrs. Julia Wyman, a mezzo soprano whe has been heard here before : pleasure, and Miss Leonora Yon Stoscb, a pington girl, who will on that occasion make her first appearance in this city since she left some five years ago to perfect herself abroad as a violinist. Sr. Pavu's Pause Hant.—There will be entertainments at St. Paul's Parish Hall, on 23d street near Washington Circle, ton ‘and to- morrow night, for the benefit of the organ repair fund. ‘Tonight there will be an orchestral concert, when some of the best performers in the District will participate, aud tomorrow night there will be a vocal program.

NO LONGER NECESKARY TO GO TO THE ARMY OR NAVY YOR RECRUITS FOR THE POLICE YOROR— DISTRICT AUTHORITIES PLEASED WITH THE NEW STATE OF AYFAIRS—WHAT THE OPINION SAID. ‘The so-called “army and navy clause,” re- stricting appointments on the police force to men holding honorable discharges from the army and navy, is blotted out by the decision ofthe United States Supreme Court in the Hutton case, published in Tuz Star yesterday. For several years the complaintg of the police Authorities as to the embarrassments they met on account of this lew in their efforts to obtain suitable men for the force, and the comments of officials and others om the preju- dicial effect the operation of the law bad on the character of the force, have been growing mare and more emphatic. The persons whom the law when euacted was intended to benefit, the veteran soldiers and sailors of the war, uo longer derived any bene- fit from it, and’ the police department was forced to turn for recruits to the mon who had enlisted and been discharged from the army and navy in recent years. ‘That the de- cision yoeterday was gratifying to the police authorities it is hardly neceesary to say. ‘The Hutton suit, as stated, was for 182.50, with interest from June 6 to August 20, 1490. Hutton was appointed on the force as a civilian, having neither an army or navy record, and his appointment was made to test the question as to whether the Commissioners could appoint civilians or not. When the accounts reached the first control- lor he declined to sanction it and suit was en- tered by Hutton for his pay. The Supreme Court of the District eustained the action of the Commissioners in making the appointment and the ease was then taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. THE ONLY QUESTION. The question in the case was whether para- graph 354 of the Revised Statutes of the Dis- trict of Columbia, prescribing the qualifications ff Persons cligible for appointment on the po- lice force, was repealed by the act of June 11, 1878. Paragraph 354 was the one which made Jan honorable discharge from the army and navy a prerequisite to beiag a policeman and the act of 1878 was the one establisuing tho present form of government of the District of Columbia, ‘The court in delivering the opinion referred Court of the District was right in its decision, and continued: ‘Moreover, the reasons actuat- ing Congress in 1867 in requiring the District police toree to be made up of onorably die- charged soldiers and sailors did not exist, at leastin the same degree, in 1878. When this qualificational provision was first enacted the war had not been long ended, and it was Lut in harmony with the general liberal policy of the government of the United States toward those who had fought in its army and navy that a discrimination should be made in their favor in the matter of appointments to various places of trast in the nation’s capital Their appointment on the police force would serve also to imbue that force with at least some of the precision and atten- tion in detail found in all well-regulated mili- tary companies that have seen actual service. But in 1878 the war had been over a number of Years and those who participated in its struggles were growing old and were becoming less able physicaily to perform all the dutics of a mem- ber of the police force. “Under these conditions it is entirely con- sistent with the policy of Congress to hold that they intended to abolish the qualificational standard originating in the act of 1467. Tq carry that standard along indefinitely would make it apply to those who enlisted in time of Peace as well as to those for whose benefit it was originally intended. As was said by the District Supreme Court: ‘It is not likely that Congress intended to discriminate between the citizen and the soldier or sailor of & peace tablishment.’” THE VARIOUS ACTS. Under the act of June 11, 1878, appears the following: “And said Commissioners are hereby authorized to abolish any office, to con- solidate two or more offices, reduce the numbe= of employes from officeand make appointment: to any oftice tinder them authorized by la Paragraph 2 of the act of June 20, the same Zeek, sav "The said Commusioners of the trict of Columbia are hereby authorized to fix the salaries to be paid to the officers and privates of the metropolitan police until other- Wise provided by law.” Section 6 of the act provides “that from and after the first day of July, 1878, the board of metropolitan police and the board of school trustees shail be abolished and all the powers and duties now exercised by them shall be transferred to the said Commissione District of Columbia, who shall have authority to employ such officers and agents and to adopt such provisions as may be necessary to carry into execution the powers and duties devolved upon them by this act.” A CHANCE FOR CIVILIAN APPLICANTS. Now that the decision has been rendered the civilians who have been applicants for appoint- ment on the force for a number of years will no doubt put in new applications and the files will be filled in the course of a short time. It is feared by some that tie decision giving, asit does, the power of appointment at will, will operate in the future to make the force a political machine unless the necessary safe- guards are established atthe outset and the Tule requiring residence in the District is strictly adhered to. MaJ. MOORE'S COMMENTS, Maj. Moore, speaking to a Star reporter this morning concerning the decision, said: “It is the best thing that could have happened for the police force. For the past two years it has been difticult to fill the vacancies, especiaily those created by legislation. It took two or three months to get thirty men when Congress provided for that additional number. Now men can be taken not because of their honora- bie discharge from the army or navy, but be- cause they are particularly adapted ‘to police work. It seems to me that it will be well tore- ire at least three years or more resi- dence in the District as one of the qualifications for appointment, and further it is a matter of consideration whether or not the maximum age should not be reduced from thirty-eight to thirty-five yeare and the height increased to at leagt five feot nine inches, and then have these rules rigidly adhered to in the selections. It has Leen impossibie to make and }stringently enforce such requirements under the army and navy clause, as in order to keep the force filled up it was necessary at times 10 take men who did not possess the requisite height. The civil service rule roquiring* an applicant to be indorsed by well known and reputable citizens might be of assistance in ob- taining suitable men—men of good character.” CONGRESSMEN AFTER APPOINTMENTS. Although twenty-four hours had not elepsed since the decision of the Supreme Court was’ rendered two members of Congross called upon the police authorities today and made requests for the appointment of constituents of theirs on the force. Their requests recalled an inci- dent that occurred several years ago, whon a member of Congress called in person and urged the appointment of a man who was then gn the police foree of a city in the state where the Congressman resided. When the Commis- sioner to whom application was made called attention to the fact that there was a rule re- quiring # two years’ residence here the Con- Gressman stated that as this was a rule and not a law it could be sct aside. It was set asideand the man was appointed. —_— .

Casey, chief of ongineors, in response to a resolution of the Senate offered by Senator Sherman. Before it is completed, though, there should be some test as to the water-holding capacity of the brick cylinder. The test will cost €20,000. Should it result satisfactorily the entire work could be completed for $640,000. Ger. Casoy says it is Practicable to place iron pipes in the tunnel and thus convey water to the new reservoir, but he does not think the proposition is a good one because of the difficulty there would be in getting at the pipes. He suggeste the laying of two forty-eight-inch mains over the route sted by the board of experts. ‘Tbe cost these mains would amoun to about $949,300, and it woald cost $140,000 more for the comple- tion of the Howard University reservoir.

The Court in General Term yesterday decided the question brought before it from the Probate Court as to whether a trust company that com- plied with the terms of the general act relating to the incorporation of such companies should be required to give bond as an administrator. Chief Justice Bingham, who delivered the opinion, said thatit appeared tuat the companies interested had been at the time of the passage of the uct organized and engaged in business under the laws of various states. When the act ‘was passed they complied with the law so as to proceed with business under its provisions. ‘The law prescribed that no bond should be required of companies incorporated under the provisions of the act. The question was whether the companies existing at the time the act went into force and which came under its provisions by compiying with its terms should be considered as being exempted from giving bond under this clause. The court had no doubt that such companies were included in the clause and that they were to be considered aa incorporated under the act. ¥. M. C. A. Literary Society.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will you a permit a few words in answer to the letter in your issue of the 29th ultimo, signed “Horse,” which says: “Many horses have to be driven with the check-rein or the overdraw, and wherefor? If horse travels iow in front he will stumble sooner or later. A stumbling horse is an abomination and cannot be cured unless he is checked high.” We have heard this argument ‘used, but never by any one who had any but the most superficial Knowledge of the horse and nove atall of his anatomy. The horse is one of the most beautiful of animals. Job says: “Hast ‘Thou given the horse strength? Hast Thou clothed his neck with thunder?” Wo clothe bis neck with an instrument of torture, which pulls his nose up and out ono level with his ears and prevents him from clos- ing his mouth, thereby forcing him to breathe through the lips rather than the nostrile. ‘The continued pressure hardens his mouth and finally the natural and beautiful erch of the ueck, which is dependent upon the free play of the muscles, is utterly destroyed. ‘The power- ful muscles which pull toward the shoulders, and indirectly the fore limbs, and which are attached tothe head and neck, are by tight checking prevented from fully exercising their functions, so shat the horse's specd and strength, as well as his boauty of form and grace of mo- tion, are impaired. ‘Phe murcles of the hips, loins and lumbar regions are also seriously af- fected. Now it will not be easily seen how a contriv- ance capable of causing 60 much mischief can be recoramended to. prevent stumbling, except where the colt has been broken with the over- head check and the process of muscle crippling continued until stiffened and half paralyzed, he acquires a mechanical gait and stumbles when his bonds are removed. Ican bring to my support the testimony of the best veterinary surgeons of our own country and of England, but I shall be content to quote from the “Trotting Horse of America,” which Was written by Hiram Woodruff, who’ trained and rode and drove to victory some of our most famous trotters and was esteemed as the great- st horseman of his day. Mr. Woodruff says: “In order that « fast horse should be under circumstances to do his best he should be as much at his ease in his har- ness and general rig as possible If ho is not he 1s placed at almost as much disadvantage as CITY ITEMS.

Its medicinal qualitis are without a rival and is prescribed by many of our prominent physiciars, who uso no other stimulant in their practice. It cannot be pur- chased anywhere except at the proprietor's wholesale and retail wine and liquor establish- if sore or stiff or suffering from some bodily ailment. You may see horses brought out of the stable to trot with a very tight check to feep the head up and a tiglit martingale to cep itdown. Such a horse is in irons, and when to this is added a dead drag at the reins and no movement of the bit from end to end 1 cannot see how he should do his best.” ‘The overhead check was invented not to pre- yent stumbling, but to keep the trotting horse “Kemble Jackson” from throwing his head down between his legs when he broke.
