The evils of intemperance were shown in all its various stages in Judge Kimball's court this morning when a procession of more than two dozen prisoners appeared in charge of Bailiff. Kendig. ‘One by one they were called to the front, ar- | raigned and sentenced according to the merits of the particular cases. Oliver Dorsey, a colored man against whom there wasacharge of vagrancy, said that he had only peen drunk one dar since his release from the work house. The policeman happened to see him on that occasiou. and in addition to being drank the officer toli the court that Oliver was not fond of work. “"Deed I is fond of work,” said the prison¢ er. “I went into the rag brsiness when I got out and I'se got money now. I works on Sunday when I can get it. I loves work. Judge Kimball thought that Oliver had not been given chance enough after getting out of prison, and, warnmg him against the use of Tum, let him go with a clean record. Col. William P. Lasseile. s member of the bar and s man who made a brilliant record in the army, isa victim of “King Alcohol.” He isa married man and during his years of dissipa- tion his wife has never deserted him. He had lost his hat Saturday and this morn- ing he was perfectly sober. “I don't recollect,” was his answer when ar- raigned, “but as the policeman arrested me I must have been guilty. i The charge against him was disorderly con- duet and the ususl fine was imposed. “Won't your honor give me two days i which to raise the fine?” asked the defezdant. | “My wife is here now and she needs me, because | sheis sick. Iamsober now, and if you will give | me «chance I will pay the fine in two days.” } i A Hi CLUB DINNER “at WANS \ A MEMORABLE DINNE Capital Press Club. DISTINGUISHED GUESTS. Some Remarkable Decorations—Electrical the Fan. ——_+—_—_ ‘There is a feeling among newspaper men which tends toward a general exchange of courtesids’And a desire to have some comforta- ble homelike place where they can meet to- gether and enjoy one another's good society. Washington has a more representative class of correspondents than any other city in the world, but until comparatively recently they have had no place of meeting. Just two rears ago the newspaper men of the ity assembled and organized the National Capital Press Club.

Time and labor were given to it, and the result | went far beyond what the most expectant looked for. In novel effects, grandeur of decoration and unlooked-for surprises the history of the banquet hail does not chronicle a dinner that equaled it. All that the genius of the elec- trician or the artistic work of the decorator and florist could do oF the ingenuity of bright men could suggest was utilized to make the dinner one long to be remembered. ‘The guests were among the most distin- guished men of the country.

The tables were arranged in the form of a double E, the members of the cabinet having the seats at the head. The tables were a mass of flowers, whose perfume filled the banquet with sweet scent.

Stretching from the end of every table along its center and to the president's chair was « miniature tele- graph line. ‘The poles bore several wires and on each were a red, a white and a blue electric light. In front of the president was a telegraph key and by this means messages were received from the outside world. Mr. Ham Young and Robert J. Wynne alternated as the operators. In front of each chair was a miniature globe, | with all the countries of the earth represented tations. ‘The errangements were placed ia the | hands of a committee of the ciub. consisting of Walter Wellman, chairman: A.

Saturday afternoon Policeman McNamara served the first warrant issued for the alleged sale of liquor in the mile limit under the new law. As published in Saturday's Stan the warrant was ismed against James Dempsey, the owner of an alleged “speak easy” in rear of Harewood road near Soldiers’ Home. This morning the warrant was returned to the Police Court, and Lawyer MeNally appeared as counsel for the defendant. ‘When the case was called for trial Mr. MeNaily eaid he would demand a jury trial and the case went over. Mr. Pugh, he said, wanted the bond fixed at $1,000, but he thought $500 was enough. Mr. Pgh called attention to the fact that the maximum penalty was €500 and also that the bond wanted was only a little in excess of the penalty. “But that penalty would hardly be imposed in the first case,” remarked Mr. McNally. “Idon't know so much about that,” the judge remarked. “This is not a testcase, nor is it an ordinary violation of law. A. person who goes into the mile limit and rells liquor in spite of the strict law agsins? it caunot expect that only the minimum penalty will be imposed. It is not a case for the imposition of the muni- mum penalty by any means.” The judge said that it was the custom to make the bond double the amount of the maxi- mum penaity, but in this case he would _ make an exception and would fix the bail at $1,000, the amount asked by the prosecuting officer, | which was only slightly larger than the highest | penalty. | day. The case will probably be heard later in | the week. | THE CASE OF BUSH. The case of Henry Bush. manager of the Ban- ner Brewing Company, against whom a charge of unlicensed bar was filed last week, will be heard tomorrow after the regular business of the day. In setting the case for tomorrow Judge Miller said that the case was one which should be fully argued on account of its great im- portance. Mr. Clarke, counsel for Mr. Bush, expisined that an carly trial was wanted in order to have the right to tee the ease to the Coart in Gen- eral Term before the act creating the Court of Appeals goes into effect, although he said he though: that after the conrt construed the law | there would be no occasion for taking the case | to the higher court. | es ALEXANDRIA, SECURING PURE WATER. The Alexandria Water Company now has plans for the diversion from the supply of the Mt. Cameron works of Tavior's run, which is saidto be polluted. The race supplying pure water to the mill and pump house Will be carried on an aqueduct across the valiey through which Taylor's run passes, and 60 all the danger pointed out by some lend- | ing citizens of Alexandria last summer will be prevented, and in the event of the cholera com- ing to Alexandria this season the water wo cannot be accused of being accessory to its approach. The work of the new aqueduct will be in charge of Engineer Howell. THE FIRE ESCAPE LAW. Mayor Stranss some time since sent to the city council a message calling attention to the state law directing fire escapes on certain classes of buildings and suggested the enactment of the provisions of the state law into « corpora- tion ordinance. The city councils, ax heretofore reported to Tre Stan, passed an ordinenze re- quiring fireescapes. The mayor has re:urned the ordinance without his siguacure, and declines to approve the law because the ordinance as adopted by the council differs from the state Jaw in requiring that school houses of more than two storics in height shall have fire escapes whereas the state Jaw only requires | fire escapes on rchooi houses of | more than three stories in height. The eity | law also requires the city surveyor to inspect all buildings subject to the tons, but gives him no compensation for hi work, and this the mayor hoids | principle cf justice which de: | laborer is worthy of his hire. : Ww goes back to the city council for rec: sideration and if again adopied vy a majority of city council it will become a law.
