There are in this city, he said, about 1,000 licensed places where liquor is sold, and the police think there is one unlicensed place, or “speak easy,” for every place that is licensed. “And I am sorry to way,” added the judge, “there are innumerable drug stores ‘where liquor 18 sold openly and to every one who comes. Some druggists have been prove- cuted and fined.” He then related several instances in which liquor had caused trouble.aud among them was one in which ahusband who went home found that his wife had been drinking so much that she was intoxicated, and he learned that she had sent thei bene little children, one teed another, to boring drug store obtained the liquor.

A Member of the Crew of a “Bug-Eys ‘Claims to Have Been Iil-Treated. Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney made a strong fight in the Police Court Saturday when the captain of an oyster boat was on trial, charged with ill-treating a member of his crew. The captain was Charles Chesser, an able- bodied man, and the injured person was a col- ored boy named Frank Brooks. Capt. Chesser lives on St. George's Island and is captain of the “bug-eye” Nettie May. The assault happened about two weeks ago while the boat was anchored at the oyster wharf, and in addition to being badly beaten Brooks’ finger was bitten by the oyster captain Who and he came near being thrown overboard. Brooks’ story of the trouble was that he went aboard and asked the captain for 2 of his Js whereupon he charged that he was assanited, His face was terribly bruised and his finger badly bitten. Capt. Chesser claimed that the deck hand did not come to him in a gentlemanly way and that when he refused him the deck hand be- came boisterous. During the difficulty he charged that Brooks assaulted him with a stick of wood. During the hearing Mr. Mullowney showed that Chesser bad bad trouble with other hands on his boat and reference was made to the number of cases in, which captains of oyster Doats have assaulted those uni jer them. ‘The jury returned a verdict of guilty and a fine of $20 was imposed. Pa The C. A. C. Smoker. The last and most brilliant of the popular series of “smokers” was held on Saturday night in the gymnasium of the Columbia Athletic Clab. A roomy stage, prettily decorated, filled the lower end of the beautiful room and flags and bunting hung from the galleries in grace- ful festoons. The concert opened with a lively overture by the orchestra, which was fol- lowed by an excellent program of songs, reci- tations and instrumental music. The Wash- ington Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar Club gave two numbers, Herman Rakemann, the violin virtuoso, accompanied by Henry Xander, both of the Washington Musical Ciub, only escaped a third appearance by disappearing from the scene and Mr. 5. M. ‘abian’s masterly rendi- tion of a most difficult composition evoked tumultuous applause. Prof. Keenan, Edwin itred Barker gave humorous and pathetic recitations and Mr. Herndon Morsell sang “The Song That Reached bod Heart” as only he can sing it, followed by Mr. Carrina well-rendered baritone selection, “The Rob- ber’s Dream,” just suited to show the beautiful quality of his‘ voice. Mr. Martin J, Maginnis told several good stories and the popular Schu- bert Quartet and Franz Abt Club closed the four hours’ entertainment by a magnificent rendition of “The Corinthians,” with Mr. Key- ser as the soloist. The entire affair was under the management of Hub Smith. ——— Funeral of Mr. James Dobbyn. The funeral of Mr. James Dobbyn occurred yesterday afternoon from the late residence of the deceased.

Building. ‘The gymnasium of the Young Men's Chrie- tian Association was crowded yesterday by be- tween five hundred and thousand men, old and young, who were addressed for about half ‘an hour by Anthony Comstock, the secretary of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, New York city. Mr. Comstock, who was introduced ‘as one who had done much for the protection of the youth of the country, isa stoutly built maaz: of the average height. His beard isblonde, of the Burnside cut. and his bead is rather bold. His countenance is pleasing, his manner none the less so, and he speaks in an earnest, convincing way. Mr. Comstock said that the purpose of the meeting was one of business, business for eternity. Hiv audience was urged to realize that it was the time to draw the line between Iife and death. The past was gone, it could not be changed, but the futare lay before them. ‘The question therefore, was, how would they build? They were all subject to the assaults of the evil one, and the object of the addrews was to enable them to successfully overcome thove assaults. “If you are worth anything at all,” said the speaker, “‘you may be sure the devil is after you, for'he never troubles himself | ¢, about any other. The more worthy you are the greater will be his endeavor to over- come you.” Some natures, said Mr. Comstock, are like the hair trigger of a ritle and for that reason their struggle to overcome evil and its alluring temptations require « greater effort than is the case with thove natures more heav- ily balanced. He thought the world was too quick to condemn and too slow to sympathize and forgive. For twenty years he had stood between the youth of America and all that | which defiles their natures and works their destruction, and he knew a vast deal of the struggles of the young of the country to avoid and trample down such evils. No man, young or old, could permit the tainted picture or book to enter his chamber of imagination without suffering defilement. He would not say that such things were sought, he would not conten: that = they enjoyed by the average man or but he did say that once would overcome all who touc! imagination plays a despotic influen man from his birth to his death, and man’ agination, in the word of God, * i day of his birth.” Youthful folly, said the 8) er, destroyed old age, and young men ould not forget that life was something more living today and having a good time. ‘They should remember that there is life to be lived in eternity. In cqncluding iis remarks ‘Mr. Comstock urged the young men present to remember that they would be the fathers of future generations, and begged them to so live now that those generations might be born with all the purity of a sound, physical and moral life. Previous to Mr. Comstock's address Secretary Pugh called the attention of the audience to the fact that an effort was being made here to send Ge mge of food to the ‘ving Hus- sians, and the result was a very generous con- tribution. ‘ ———— THE STEAM ENGINEERING BILL. Its Passage Recommended by the Commis- joners After Certain Amendments. Upon further consideration of Senate bill 2085, “To regulate steam engineering in the District of Columbia,” the Commissioners have sent @ letter to Congress saying they are of opinion that the enactment of the bill as amended would_be conducive to public safety and not essentially prejudicial to any private interest concerned. The discussion at the advertised hearing they say developed the fact that there are certain classes of United States licenses which do not require a-very great amount of experience or skill on the part of the licensee, and are issued to persons to take charge of the engines of small boats and other minor steam apparatus, who should not be exempted from examination when applying for licenses to manage more complicated steam plants. The Commission- ers, therefore, recommend that the word “special” be inserted after the word “states” in line 7 of section 1. The words “No person employed by the United States government or holding a sal: ried position under the District Commissio1 ers shall be appointed as examiner,’ in hnew 12 to 14 of section 2, shoud wieken out,as the Commissioners fail to dis- cern how the holding of such positions is a disqualification in the premives. Strike out “three” in line sert “two” in lieu thereof. man in some steam boiler room, fire room or engine room” in lines 6 and’ 7, section 5, should be stricken out and the words “employed in some capacity in attendance upon steam boilers and engines affording him the necessary experience to qualify him to re- ceil license under this law,” inserted in lien thereof. The words “‘three licensed engineers” in lines 8 and 9, section 5, should be stricken out and “two reputable citizens” substituted therefor. All of section 7 after the word “dollars” in line 8 should be stricken out, for the reason that in view of the value of the property of the em- ployer there will be no necessity to resort to section 4, and in- such an ignominious method of enforcing pay- | ment of a fine imposed unger that section. ‘The word “three,” in line 4, eection 11, should be stricken ont and the word “two” in- serted, as adequately providing for the con- tingent expenses of that board. a Tegislative Notes of Local Interest. The governor of Maryland has signed these bills of local interest: To amend the charter of the Washington and Chesapeake Beach Railway Company and authorizing the com- missioners of Washington county to refund to Benj. P. Rench and others a sum of money paid by them when county commissioners as indorsers of a note of the tax collector. The bili providing for the erection of a mon- ument to Gen. Smallwood at Marshall Hall, Charies county, was amended in the Maryland senate and the following committee named to make necessary arrangements for the unveil- ing: Land Commissioners Philip D. Laird, Senators Thomas G. Hayes and darien Posey, Delegates Lewis C. Carrico and Francis J. Maddox, and J.C. McKibbin and J. Bo Mat tingly of Charles county. — Death of a Gallant Officer. ‘Many of the army officers in this city will be surprised and pained when they know of the death of Lieut. Philip A. Bettens, jr., of the ninth United States cavalry, His death oc- curred last Sunday evening at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, whither he had gone with the hope that his health might improve. Lieut. Bettens was quartermaster of the ninth cavalry battalion, which served at Pine Ridge during the campaign of 1890-91, and it w: then that he caught the cold which eventually developed into rapid consumption aud caused aaron rp he — = — lovable man, ng anc fection of grvergons who knew bis.

Following the adjournment of the court Saturday was an interesting scene. The judge complimented the jury upon their good serviae and reluctantly discharged them. Juror Donglass then arose and, addressing the court, said: “When men stoop to elevate those lower in station than themselves they are themselves elevated in the sight both of God and man, and it is to thatend that I demre, on bebalf of the Afro-American portion of this jury, to ex our thanks for the kind consideration you havo given the cases brought before you against those of our race who are poor, dejected, ig- norant and despised. “And permit me, your honor, to | that frequently my heart has been touched with gratitude for the sympathy shown and the kind advice given, though they were covered with 4; and in'no instance have you failed to allow justice to be tempered with mercy. Judge Miller thanked the colored members for their kind words and said he would treas- Ure them us the most pleasant remembrance of their services in their administration of jus tice, He hoped that matters would always be iat way and that the only criterion would be guilt and innocence. Juror Bailey, on behalf of all tho jurors, then addrewed the court and presented the judge with handsome silver water set. Deputy Clerk Joseph Harper and Bailiffs Botts and Hooe were each presented with a set of knives and forks. The pleasant episode was brought tos close by the reading of a few lines written by Juror J. M. Hall. He isa colored man whose head is free of hair as the palms of hands, and his lines were as follows: ‘Heving sat in your presence asa juror for the present term, I deem it my duty to con- gFatulate you upon your fair and just rulings will further say that you have had the pleas- ure to have had as.a juror a man like whom no Cre judge has ever bad, namely, a hairless inn.” Following this was a general handshaking and the court adjourned. —_—_ HAITIAN PROVERBS. Rev. C. W. Morsell’s Interesting Lecture at Ebenezer Church. After spending nine years among the Haiti- ane as a missionary Kev. C. W. Moxsell appeared Friday night at Kbenezer Church, George- town, and lectured to an intelligent audience on “Haitian Proverbs.” The speaker was in- troduced by the ex-minister to Liberia, Mr. John H. Smythe. Proverbs, Mr. Morsell said, take the place of books among ‘the illiterate dwellers on the far-away isl: and they con- ‘tain the essence of all conclusions that bave been reached after years of experience. Many of them, the speaker said. originated during the time of great crises, and they express in fewest words the thoughts of the people. One proverb born when the Baitians were compelled to fire Fort Haiti in order to keep it from falling in the hands of the French sa; “One cannot make an omclet without breaki th® egg.” When the great revolution broke out: popular expression was: “You may throw down the tree of liberty, but you will be repulsed by its roots.” One that imight be applicable to American politics says: ‘Pluck the goose, but pluck it without making it scream.” When the poor in Haiti were treated so unjustly and they appealed to France for protection th lowing arose: “The cockroach never wins his cause when the chicken is his judge.” A hopeful expression of the slaves is, “Today for you, tomorrowfor me.” As co-operation 18 now essential to civilization the Hai “Conspiracy is more powerful than witchcra! “itis only the knife that knows the heart of yam” sprang from the fact that appear- ances ure deceptive. Analogous to a familiar quotation of ours is, “The shoe alone knows whether the stocking has holes.” Many more Were mentioned by tie lecturer and the au- dience enjoyed and applauded. —_ Mre.

Sa Saloons in New York Were Closed. Rev. Dr. Parkhurst’s onslaught on the police of New York has already borne fruit. It was very dificult yesterday to findasaloon open in that city to which admittance could be gained. The few that did admit customers through side doors or rearentranceshad “look- outs” stationed outside, and noone who was not known could get in. The most frequented places down town were closed tight and men might be seen singly and in groups going from saloon to saloon in vain in search fora drink. It was probably the driest Sunday New York has ever seen. Most of the hotel bars were closed, hut in some of them drinks were served with crackers and cheese at tables. It is said that the general closing of the salvons at 12 o'clock Saturday night and yesterday is due to the police, who notified the saloon keepers that they must close. ue td as ea In the supplementary estimates laid before the Canadian house of commone the other night $5,000 is set apart for the C! it only @ preliminary draft, it being un- derstood that $150,000 at Teast will this purpose.

This is a suggestion of the president of the leaguo, and is an endeavor to do away with much of the incompetent ren- dering of decisions by referees which has been so evident in the past. The new rules state that all events must be referred by © Wheelman, whose decision shall be final. This will insure @ contestant proper judgment at events run in connection with other athletic nts. ‘The race which is known as the lands Off” race has beon stricken from the legitimate list of events. It is considered too dangerous. ‘The promoters of race meets get a little help in the form of a new rule regarding the pay- ment of entrance fees. ‘They must be in advance in all cases in future. A new two-mile safety national championship event was created answer to.the demand for a championc»p of ov mile distance. All the national chai epee ger winged of a quarter, half, o1 and two-mile safety, were assigned to Washing- ton for July 18, 19 and 20. A joint meeting of the executive board and racing board was held to consider recommenda- tions sent to them by ‘the national assembly. The most important was the stand the league should take regarding running international championships ut Chicago in 1893. ‘The project met with favor, and s permanent committee will be appointed by the president in a few days to confer with the foreign cycling organizations, looking to a carrying out of this idea. It is probable that the league will engage the athlctic grounds for two wooks at Chicago during the world’s fair and run these events. It is esimated that the organization would take 30,000 members to Chicago if the project goes through. Opening the Base Ball Season. ‘The first ball game of the season will be played at the 7th streot park this afternoon, the Nationals meeting the strong nine from the University of Pennsylvania, who wpened the season in Philadelphia on ‘Saturday. Danny Lichardson is expected to arrive in time for the game. — EE eee Tige Use Us0 Use TIBe Use Use Use Use USe Use TISe USO Use Use tise Use use use Use use use Use se use Use Use FEBRUARY 5, 1892, “CLEVELAND'S Baking Powder is in steady ‘use in my kitchen.” MARION HARLAND, Rares Exrenpnise, 1241 Lith st. ae. ‘Spring Opening and Exhibition SATURDAY, MON- DAY AND TUESDAY, April2, 4and5.
