"The play, by Mr. Craven and Mr. McDonough, is in four acts, and narrates the trials and tribulations of | Mr. Tobias Pilkington (Mr. Reed), lawyer of New York, who tells his wife he is going to son, NJ. He writes a letter to his wife before with him. At Paterson a jealous husband mops the floor up with him, wud some one who has stolen his overcoat, with the letter, is [wrecked on a train, and Pilkington, [identified by the letter, is reported badly injured. On the complications arising from this the piay is built. and while it is bright in some of its dialogue, and funny in some of its situations. there are several in it where a critical audience does not laugh | with spontaneity. All audiences, however. are not critical and “Innocent as a Lamb” has been as the theatric vernacular goes a “phenomenal success.” Mr. Reed, of course leads, and he is very agreeably assisted by Mr. W. C. Andrews, | Mr. Harry Smith, Mr. Sheridan Tupper, Mr. | Reed. Mr. H. R. Davies, Mr. James Douglass and Mrs. Mary Myers, Miss Rush, Miss Levering and Miss Harvey. Mr. Reed is a gen- uine comedian and he takes his part with an ef- fectiveness that gives the distinguishing feature to the entire performance, and in reality does for the play what its authors have scarcely suc- ceeded in doing. Albangh’s has scarcely held a finer audience this season than that of last night. | NatrowaL.—It was a question last night | whether the people who in the theater were tosee “The Still Alarm” or to see the mascot of the play, “Little Tuesday,” the five- year old little way off the saw both, and there was no qui their enjoyment of the combin: Still Alarm,” as_nearly everybody knows, be- | longs to the realistic school of plays, and there | is a real live fire engine, live horses and pretty ones, too, the inside of real engine house, a genuine fire and alot more of the same kind, a villain. a beautiful girl and more of that of which, added together, make a sum total that thrills an audience and gives a vast deal of wholesome, nervous excitement. Of course it all ‘comes out right, with virtue triumphan and in the hands of such people as Mr. W. Harkins, Mr. Wilkes. Mr. Snader. Mr. Conyers, ‘Miss Bert, Miss Pollock and Miss Maddern must be well done. Special features are the | Standard Quartet of excelient singers and | Little Tuesday, who in her songs and dances takes the cakelet.

The cast is one that is worthy of the gement under which the production Oneof the most notewortiay characte of Charles Frobman's career is the ma ner in which he secures competent people to produce his plays. The high standard of abilit which his people always show shows not onl judicious selection, but acute discernment. The story is that of the temptations which lurk in commercial life, and it is worked out in a man- ner that secures some strong climaxes in ways that differ admirably from the conventional. Mr. Frank I: Mills took the part of the default- | ing cashier and acquitted himself ina thor- | aghly creditable way. Miss Lilla Vane was j well liked as Agnes Rodman, the sweetheart of the young man whose financial indiscretions came so near disgracing him. The play is one that appeals particularly to the intelligent and | cultured classes, alshoagh it has that touch of nature that commands the admiration of every Jone. It will undoubtedly duplicate here the | success it has met with elsewhere. Haxais’ Buov Tarater.—Later On,” the play in which Halien and Hart mate such a bit, was given at the Bijou Inst night oy Wood and Shepard in a very acceptable manner. In fact, the performance was in all respects su- perior 70 any musical farce comedy ever seen at the Bijou. Like all farce comedies, “Later On” makes no pretenses at a plot, but manages to crowd into the two hours and a half of its life a world of fun and a number of good specialties. Wood and Shepard asa musical team have noequal. Miss Nellie Hawthorne as Paichoula Seed was excelient and her well- trained soprano voice was heard to good effect. Miss Clara Thropp as Pansy Weed jumped at | once into popular favor. Her singing of ““Pava | Won't Buy Me a Bow-wow” was excellent. Mr. | Will H.

The florists of the District, as represented by | the WasRington Florists’ Club, took action at a | meeting held last week in relation to what they claim is a great wrong committed against them by the trustees of the District Reform School. | and also by the authorities in charge of the | Industrial Home School. The matter of which the florists complain is the selling of the cut flowers and potted plants raised by the inmates | of these two institutions at what they term cut | prices, thus, as they claim, greatly injuring the | business of the men who are taxed to support | the institutign. At the meeting of the club held a few days | ago a committee of six was appointed to wait upon the trustees of the two institutions for the purpose of stating their grievance and ask- | ing a redress of the same. The committee | was composed of Thomas Field, William H. King aud Robert Bowdier, representing the ‘owers,and A. Gude, E.’ Miller and C. F. lale, representing the retailers. A conference | will be held with the trustees of the two schools | at the first opportanity. Speaking of the matter toa Star r today. Mr. C. F. Hale stated that the florists | felt that the action of the authorities worked most injariously against them and that it was yearly growing keener, prices were falling and | consequently their profits were becoming | smaller. The schools were at little, if any, expense, and they were thereby enabled to ‘sell at prices which could not be touched by the growers and retailers. While the florists believed that the boys shouid be taugnt useful trades and occupations, they were confident that it was practically im- ossible to teach them floriculture with the imited means at the command of either insti- authorities of the two schools were putting what fs practically paaper Inbor in the field against them,which could in no way be justified. For these reasons they felt compelled to ob- ject, and they proposed to do all they could to prevent continuance of the practice. WHAT PRESIDENT FALLS SAYS. President A. J. Falls of the board of trustees of the reform school explained that the school had been raising and selling plants and dowers for the past fifteen years without serious ob- jection on the part of the florists. -*We are required by law,” he stated, ‘‘to teach the boys useful trades and occupations, and are required by law to deposit all receipts received from their labors in the United States treasury. We have invariably endeavored not to undersell, but to obtain the prevailing market prices. We have probably never sold more than $500 or $600 worth of our products in any one year, and have had but one purpose—the covering of our legitimate expenses incurred in teaching the boys what we believe is a most useful and valuable occupation. ‘The boys could not well be kept idle, even did not Congress say that we should teach them useful and valuable trades and occupations. We have no desire to injure the business of any citizen, and at thc next meeting of the board. which will be hed ina few days, the committee from the florists will be fully heard and their complaint carefully considered.” i A New Temperance Organization. The temperance work of the North Capitol Presbyterian Sunday school was begun last night with great promise of success. There was a large audience in attendance at the Sun- day school rooms comprising all ages, but the children were in a large majority. An organi- zation was effected by the election of Miss Mag- ie A. Laing as president, Mr. George E. Sulli- van as vice president, Miss Bessie H. Hobson as treasurer and Mr. Charles L. Mendel as sec- retary. Several appropriate and spirited songs were sung, with Miss Louise Kenuon presiding at the organ. Aiter a short address by Mr. Irwin B. Linton, who explained and recommended the “triple pledge,” viz: against the of intoxicating liquors, tobacco and profanity, pledge cards | were distributed, with the request that they be signed if atall only after a thoughtful con- sideration.of the obligation to be assumed. In all thirty pledges were signed and handed in. ‘The meetitig closed with prayer for the success of the effort. The first Monday in April | another meeting will be held in the Sunday school rooms, corner of New York avenue and North Capitol street. a A Decrease in the Deaths Last Week. The report of -Health Officer Hammett for last week will show a decrease in the number of deaths as compared with the previous week. Mr. Moore, who has charge of the death statis- tics, has received reports from other cities for last month, and they show the prevalence of the grip in gevera! cities along the Atlantic coast. The faths, however, were few in num- ber, and Mr. Moore sees no cause for alarm from that disease. Last week there were seven- teen deaths in New York which were attributed to the grip, while in Philadelphia there were two cases and in this city three cases. — A Suit for Damages. Francis C. Adams has filed a suit, through Mr. C. Maurice Smith, against the Washington and Georgetown Railroxd Company to recover $10,000 damages by reason of being thrown off the front platform of acable car at Pennsyl- vania avenue and 7th street on January 13 last, striking a car coming in an opposite direction, causing ® fracture of his skull, injuries to back, side, kc. The plaintiff alleges that on that day he took passage on the car between 12th and 13th street was on the front platform and there being no guards on the platform by the sudden stoppage of the car he was thrown off. janes ‘The Phonograph Injunction. Inthe case of the Columbia Phonograph Company against the North American Phono- graph Company and George E. Tewksbury and Leonard Gartield Spencer, in which a tem- porary restraining order prohibiting the de- fendants from making records of the music of the United States Marine Band was granted March 9, Judge Cox, in chambers, this morn- ing granted an injunction against the de- fendants prohibiting them from making in the District of Columbia or the states of Maryland and elaware musical phonograph records or other phonograph records, or otherwise, directly or indirectly, dealing in any machines, instru- ments, contrivances or appliances of any kind or description covered by the letters patent to ‘Thomas A. Edison relating to the phonograph, In the argument of the case it was contended that Messrs. Tewksbury and Spencer were not agents of the North American Phonograph Company. but were acting as individuals. T) court held that the question of agency was im- material, inasmuch as the Columbia Phono- graph Company held for the territory in ques- flow exclusive rights in the phonograph’ and Record of Deaths.

Capt.

Assistant Attorney for the District Thomas was recently requested to submit his opinion whether under the joint resolution of February make police regulations they can prohibit farther interments in Graceland cemetery. Mr. Thomas today forwarded the following as his opinion on the matter: “The law (sec. 594 et. seq., R. 8. D. C.) pro- vides that when five or more persons) shall associate themselves together for the puposes of forming a cemetery association in the District, such persons shall have power to adopt a corporat name, and by that name shall be known as a body corporat and shali have perpetual succession and | be invested with all powers, rights, | privileges, liabilities and immunities incident | to corporations. Such associations shall have | power to acquire by gift, grant or purchase | any land, not exceeding fifty acres, and lay out the same for a burial place for the dead, with convenient aisles, and to sell the same for such purpose and for no other pur- , reserving a sufiicient portion thereof | stranger and in- digent, and that the proceeds from the sale of lots after deducting all expenses of purchasing and laying out the same shall be applied in im- roving and ornamenting the grounds. Its farther provided that such associations shall have the land designated as a burial ground surveyed and platted, and a plat recorded in| the office of the recorder of deeds for this Dis- | trict. “On the 30th day of September, 1871, Grace- land cemetery was incorporated under this general law, and ite certificate was on the same day duiy recorded in the office of the re- corder of deeds, liber 2, acts of incorpora- | tion, folio 158. On’ October 16, 1871, ! this association acquired by, purchase) thirty | acres and ten perches of land for the purpose of a burial ground and caused the same to be surveyed and platted according to law, and considerable money has evidently been spent in beautifying the grounds. “It is plain to me that the act of incorpora- tion of Graceland cemetery is a contract on the part of the United States that the association may exercise the powers and privileges in class 5 of the general —incorpora- tion law until revoked or repealed by Congress, and while it is perfectly competent for that body to impair the contract or to con- trol and restrict the askociation in the use of itsland, Idoubt the power of the Commis- sioners to do so without express authority from Congress. “But without going more at length into this case, which is an interesting one, I think the question has been settled, so far as any remedy under the police power is concerned, by the gen- eral term of the Supreme Court of this District in Sullivan's case (Wash. Law Rep., | vol. 20, page 713). In that case the court, it would seem, limited the police regulations mentioned in section 2 of the joint resolution of February 2. 1892, to regulations in addition to those already made in accord- ance with the act of January 26, 1887. By ref- erence to the act of 1887 it will be ecen the Commissioners were empowered to make, mod- ify and enforce usual and reasonable ‘police regulations on ten different subjects, I do not quote the provisions of the act of 1887 because none of the regulations which it authorized relate to burial grounds. In disposing of the question in Sullivan's case, which was whecker the Commissioners had the power under section 2 of the joint resolution to make a pohce regulation, in the interest of quiet and good order, imposing a penalty for selling liquor without a license, the court held this language: “In the construction of this grant of power the first question is whether it is affected by reference to the act of January 26, 1887. We think. in the first pirce, that the words in addi- tion to those already made under that act necessarily mean, “those already made im ac- cordance with, c., so that reference ix actually made to the provisions of the act itself.” It appears, — therefore, that the police regulations the Commissioners are authorized to make by section 2of the joint resolution of February 2, 1892, are con- | fined to such asare in amplification of those already made on the subjects specified in the act of 1847. But whether this is the result or not the power to make a police regulation would not carry with it the power to pro- hibit further interments in cemeteries within certain limits, The power to restrict or control the use of property is es- sentiaMy different from the right to regulate ity use and rests upon a different principle. For these reasons I am of opinion you have no authority in the exercise of the police power which bas been delegated to you by Congress to prohibit further interments in Gracelazd cemetery. I thinkthe most you can do is to investigate the question, ascertain whether Graceland cemetery is a nuisance and a menace to public health and report the facts to Congress.” ~seS S WHERE THE NEW COURT WILL SIT. Rooms in the Upper Story of the West Wing of the Court House to Be Made Ready. ‘The new Court of Appeals of the District, the members of which are yet to be appointed by the President, will in all probability occupy the oldcourt room sitvatet‘on the third floor of the southwestern wing of the city hall, that part of the building now occupied by the civil service commission. It is understood that the commission will | shortly vacate the rooms now occupied by them in the city hall and move either to the building on G street between 6th and 7th, in which the city post office is located, or to the Concordia Hall building, at the southeast corner of 8th and E streets. It is «uid that the owners of both buildings are very anxious to have the commission occupy their buildings, and have offered not only to move the commission wil out expense to them, but also to wait for the rental until the Ist of July next, when the ap- Propriation for such purposes will be available, Under the act establishing the Court of Ap- peals the mar+hal of the District is directed to provide the court with the necessary quarters, although itis not stated that the court shall be located in the city hall. But Marsha! Ransdell believes that the most convenient and_satisfac- tory location of the court would be there, and will at the earliest opportunity make the alter- ions necessary for its accommodation. The room which he’ proposes to set apart for the court is well adapted for such purposes, and can readily be prepared for its occupancy by the time the court will come into existence, which, under the act establishing it, is the 3d of next month. peste Marriage Licenses.

Dodge's very interesting account in yesterday's Stan of the loneliness of his forty-three days and 4,000 miles of_sea voyage to Panama in 1850 without sighting a single ves- sel is pretty wide of the mark in the statement that Noah was ‘out only forty days” in his voy- age on the waters of the flood. A rereading of the very definite Mosaie account of the time that Noah and his family were shut up in the ark will, wo think, satisfy Mr. Dodge that in- stead of forty days it was one year and ten | days. So Noah's voyage in respect to duration beat his nearly ten to one. tH B —__—_—— ‘The Lone Star State Society.

It was decided to give century bars to members making 100-mile spins, the organization to bear the expense. ‘The officers of the club have extended an in- sitation to the members to meet them on April for the purpose of enjoying the finest supper the town afferda, | Norns 4 HOME WEDDING.

Mr. 8. C. Cropley, son of R. L, Cropley, ex- collector of the port of Georgetown, is a rep- resentative of the younger business element of this section. He is unconservative on many matters, but he follows in the footprints of the older generation on the subject of bridges. He believes in the unification of the District, but thinks that Georgetown will become the busi- ness end of it. ‘The Potomac channel alony the Washington front isan artificial channel substantially ® basin, which can only be kept clear by repeated dredging. The Georgetown channel is the natural one. Its current keeps itclean. It is here he thinks that the com- merce of the District will rattle and rumble. When Georgetown becomes a railroad center then from this harbor shall ships carry the re- sults of American industry to all quarters of the world. ‘These prospects must not be blighted by a bridge beiow the aqueduct. THE FIRST CANAL ARRIVALS, ‘The first canal arrivals of the season were re- ported yesterday afternoon. They were the barges Consolidation No, 18 and J. H. Mertins with 114 tons of coal each. ‘They left Cumber- land on the 15th instant and traveled both by night and day. The crews and mules were pretty well tired out. They report bad weather at times along the line, but state that the canal is in excellent condition. After the long period of inactivity they awakened a great deal of in- terest at the locks, towns and other pointe on the road down. ‘Quite a crowd collected at places along the Georgetown level, and at times cheered the peculiar yet familiar teams as they glided by. Today the barges are being dis- charged. One is consigned to Agnew and one to the Winship-Meredith Company. PROGRESS OF THE COLORED PEOPLE. Rev. Dr. D. G. Hili and Rev. Dr. Carroll held a tete-a-tete this morning at the parsonage of the former on Dumbarton avenue, The sub- ject of the conversation was the progress of the colored people of Georgetown. Each divine took an optimistic view of the situation and expressed the belief that marked advance in material and in spiritual matters had been made by the colored people of the city. Rev. Hill stated that when he first came to George- town there wasa razor element which inter- rupted church services and raised an uproar generally. These people had either reformed or emigrated. They were keeping very still. Colored people worshiped quietly and without annoyance. The church membership had in- creased in a wonderful degree, the Sunday schools largely attended and the’ parents and Yf MARCH 21, 1893-SIXTEEN PAGES. local favorite, has re- overtures from sev- with them for this accept. ore , Who broke one of his legs | at Northern Liberty market just after the close of the dog show, is con Potomac Lodge, No. 5, F.

Hood's Sarsaps- Filla is undoubtedly the best medi- cine for this curpose, and it is the Deople's favorite spring medicine. 4 GRAND MEDICINE. “‘I think so much of the celebrated ‘Hood’s Sarsaparilla. There is no other medicine that I know of so ood for the blood and for the whole system. In the spring of the year Iwould not do without it at any Price. Iam now feeling like another Personand have only been taxing it about six weeks and intend to keep ontaking it. Please accept my poor thanks for such a grand medicine.” WM. G. HARMAN, No. 26 BR.

There was a dog fight last night ina lonely cabin on the Virginia side of the Potomae. Georgetown Cluffy and @ Washington dog called ‘Lag were the contestants. There was a small crowd of sports and apparently not much interest centered in the fight. It was kind of a trial to see which dog should be pittedagainst a Philadelphia canine which it is proposed to challenge. Both bulls were brindies and weighed inat thirty-two pounds, The washingand tasting formalites were dispensed with, because it was not thought that any foul work would be attempted by putting poison on the neck to obtain an advantage over the antag Cluffy is said to have forced the fight- ing from the start, The Washington dog fought low and reserved his energy till the Georgetown bull began to pout and weary of tugging his enemy around the ring. Then Tag turned himself loose and suiied in. Raw meat began to show and after about thirty minutes rolling and tex ing the Georgetown dog refused to scratch and ‘Lag was borne offas victor. PROUD OF BATEMAN'S SUCCESS. Georgetown’s champion pugilist, Jos. Bate- man, is resting on his laurels. After his ight with Lynch he was given quite an ovation by the boys of the C. A. C.—the local sports, how- ever, having been paying their attentions to Joe ever’ since. A number of callers have stopped at his pretty homeon P strest and MeCay's by been thronged with Georgetown people who came to make merry, shake hands with and con- gratulate Joe. The young gentleman takes it all modestly and again and again refuses “to have something.” He has in view now one of the greatest scraps of his career. A Gay Panty. ‘The Oak Spray Pleesure Club left last even- ing for an oating at Engiish Harbor. It was ‘a gay company that sailed out on the yacht Lone Star. Those composing the party were Capt. Hannek ratcr” Quackenbush. Frank , Capt. Westbrooke, Abe Warwick and Heury Weaver. ‘They will spend a large part ofthe time fishing in the neighborhood of Lloyd’s Landing. The company will return tonight. E ‘A FARMER'S PLUCK. ‘The team of Mr. Hamilton, » Virginia farmer, became freightened yesterday afternoon by one of the M street cable cars and ran away, ‘Mr. Hamilton held to the reins and kept the alarmed horses ina straight path. He did not attempt to turn and cross the bridge, but headed them along the Canal road. Afters long run the animals capitulated and stood s A COCK FIGHT IX PROSPECT. There was some talk last night in the neigh- borhood of the market of getting up a main be- tween Georgetown and Suitland birds. There isasport here who is anzious to match his Field Virgina strain against some specimens of | the Maryland red shawineck. It is likely that match will be made. A good deal of interest | is felt in the result. THEY WANT RAILROADS. Host Scholdt of the West Wachington Hotel speaks the sentiments of Georgetown hotel keepers when he says: “We want railroads. Georgetown will never be more than an isolated town without them. Engine smoke drives away provincialism. With timore and Ohio, the Chesnpeake and Onio And the Norfolk and We rn here the business hotels of the District would be in Georgetown. WANTS THE PRESIDENT To GO A-FISHIXG.
