G.

One center of attraction during the evening was the Japanese booth ied over by Mrs, H. E. Davis. The decoration of this booth was ¥ery artistic, and it was thronged all the time. ‘Mrs. Davis was assisted by Miss Beesie John- son, Mise Herbert, Miss Edith Johnson and Miss Hickman.

It Formally Organizes—What Chairman Griffin Says of the Assessment. Promptly at 10 o'clock this morning the board of revision, equalization and appeals met in Capt. Rosseil’s private office and organized. Mr. E. W. W. Griffin was selected as chairman and Wm. B. Gurley, secretary. No business was transacted today, but bright and early to- morrow morning the work of revision will be- gin. It is the fntention of the board to first care- fully scan the old assessment, and, after fa- maflleriaing iteelf with it, to go over the new assessment. Thon it will arrive at some defi- nite basis of assessing and make the changes accordingly. It is unquestionably the object of the board to materially reduce the assessment, but as yet the different percentages of reduction for several sections have not been agreed updn. On the first day of the new year the board will remove its quarters to the room occupied by the board of assistant assessors, and receive appeals, either orally or in writing. The office hours will be between 10 o'clock a. m. and 2 o'clock p. m. The law provides that thetr term of office shall be not less than ninety days nor more than six months. After the board has completed its labors the returns will be made to the Commus- sioners and the new assessment as revised by it will stand. The board of assistant assessors made its re- furne on county property today, and from now until the 1st of January will sit’ as @ board of equalization and pass upon appeals. The books Il be open for the general public from tomor- row. Those who desire to appeal from the new assessment on county property should have thelr appeals in before the 15th of this month or they will not receive the consideration they demand. The board has but one month to make its final returns. Appeals, however, will be received up to the Ist of January, but the Doard does not promise to considtr them. As soon as this board hae made ite final re- turns it will be dissolved and out of exist- ence. The new board recently appointed by nd the revision the President will then step fn, of the whole assessment win continue. Chairman Griffin, in conversation with a re- Porter of Tae Stam today, sald: “Tho new oard has not had time to agree upon any defi- nite plan of reduction in the new assessment. I have no doubt, however, but that our final returns will be much less than the original ae- sessment. Of course I cannot 5] for the other members of the b« , but, as far as I am concerned, and without any desire to cast aspersions ‘upon the honest: of purpose of the old board, I have no hesi- mt in saying that the new smosmment is not ouly too high, but oppressive. It ia the purpose of the board to deal fairly as between the Die. trict and the citizens, and I trust, when the final returns are all in and approved, the good people of Washington will have no cause to complain.” : —_>___ 4g YOUTHFUL THIEF, The Judge Will Try to Communicate With His Father. Willie Stewart and Willie Pryor, small colored boys, neither of whom is twelve years old, were parties to a case of theft tried in the Police Court today. Stewart was the prisoner and Pryor charged him with the theft of 2 cents. “Tain't guilty,” said Stewart. “We was all together and I said: ‘You never saw a fish with- | outa bone,’ and he answered: ‘And you never saw me without money.’ ” After hearing both sides of tho case Judge Miller inquired of the boy where his father was and the boy said that he was at work. “When did you last see him?” “Three weeks ago.” “Does he support you?” “Yes, sir; he gives me money and buys me clothes when I ask him for them.” “Do you live with your father? 0, tir; he’s married,” second wi ex, sir.” Judge Milier said that some of these parents ought to be arrested for abandoning their chil- dren. They buy them « pair of shoes or some while and then let them go to the dogs. When they get married a second time they send their boys adrift, aud the judge said he intended to see if something could not be done about such cases. Turning to the boy he acked: “When were you arrested last?” “Six months ag “How much “Six months.” “Then you just got out?” “T served my time.” The judge said he would not dispose of the case, but would continue it until the boy's father could be sent for.

The complainant snes as an employe and creditor, having been employed the engineer for thirteen months, and claims that there is due him $397.99 fot goods and materials and $21 for wages.

Bat the Game Ended in a Wrangle Over the Referee’s Decision. Asis frequently the result in foot ball con- teste between teams that bave not played many games, the match between the reserves of the Columbia Athletic Club and Georgetown Uni- versity yesterday afternoon ended in a wrangle, the Columbias leaving the field on account of what they believed to be an unjust decision by Referee Commerford. When this trouble ocurred the game was almost over and the Tesult could hardly have been affected. The Georgetown lads were the superior in weight and team pjay and won by the score of 10 to 0. Owing to the muddy and slippery condition of the grounds the playing was not very brilliant and it resulted in little more than a shoving match. For etown Soper, Bahen and Roach aid the most effective work, while Sefton, Mediary and McGowan carried off the honors for the Athletics. Mr. Commerford of Georgetown acted as referee and Mr. Will Church as um- pire. ‘The two teams lined up as follows: Georgetown. Positions. O.A.0 Gaynor Right end. -Glasscock Right tackio...

"y A PLAYER, NOT A WRITER. ‘That Was William Woodson’s Connection With the Policy Business. “You are charged with violating the policy law,” read Clerk Potts in the Police Court this morning to a colored man, William Woodson. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” ‘iin the District?" inquired the prisoner. “Yes, sir.” “Then I ain't guilty.” Policeman Ossie Klinger gave evidence against Woodson. He arrested him in South Washi and found a number of policy slips on him. When asked if he would take a trial by the judge or jury he replied, “I'll take my precedent with de judge.” ce you want to be sworn?” the judge asked im. “Weil,” be answered, “I'll make a statement and hope de judge will trust to my integrity.”” He was then sworn, and by way of establish- ing his character he said he was a Georgetown whitewasher by profession and had the reputa- tion of bein, of the best whitewashers in the city. He said he earned two or three dollars a day in good weather and when the weather is bad or cold he goes across the river and pl icy. Among his plays yesterday were ‘‘10-25-30," which he said was ‘sick row, and “10-42-44,” which was cat row. Woodson said that he played 95 cents yester- day. Judge Miller said that from the facts as shown he judged the man was only a player and Woodson told him “‘Dat's right.” He said thata man named Jim wrote his pieces for him in on City near the club house. “I don’t believe this man is a writer,” re- marked the judge. “No, indeed, judge," said the prisoner, I wish I did, but I wouldn't write in the Dis- trict.” ‘The charge against him was dismissed. ppeekoiadig bit His Friegd’s Pocket Book. “Say, Bill, give me a chew of tobacco,” said colored man named Henderson Shannon to William Duncan when he met him on M street yesterday. “Why, certainly,” responded Duncan, taking from his inside coat pocket a plug of the weed. In taking the tobacco from his pocket Duncan lost his pocket book, but did not miss it at the time. When he missed it later in the day he called on Shannon, but he denied that he had found it. Policeman Harry Hutton was appealed to, and when he arrested Shannon he found the pocket book on hima. He had spent 20 cents of the contents, When the case was called in the Police Court this morning Shannon plead guilty to a charge of larceny and was fined 220 or thirty days. es A Bicycle Thief Caught. Ben Dakin, the bicycle dealer whoee place was recently robbed of a bicycle, was on Penn- sylvania avenue Tuesday night when he noticed a small colored boy on his stolen bicycle. He caught the boy but it was not until after a fight that he succeeded in turning the boy over to Policeman Kelliher. During the struggle the bicycle dealer had one of his fingers broken. The boy gave hisnamo as John Archer and was charged with grand larceny. When the case was called in the Police Court today his counsel waived an examination.
