AMUSEMENTS. “As You Like It*—al fresco.—The wealth of admiration that Messrs. Chas. B. Han- ford and N. Du Shane Cloward won as a result of their fresco presentation of “As You Like It” at Marshall Hall cannot fail to offset to a very considerable degree any lack of more tangible compensation that may have existed. Ordinarily a per- formance of this kind is not a reliable pe- eunfary venture. It {s an excursion into art for art's sake purely, and one which the public often fails to appreciate in time to enjoy it, for the simple reason that it is unfamilfar. But it is safe to say that to those who saw “As You Like It’ the performance will al- ‘ways linger in the memory, a delightful reminiscence of fragrant boughs, sweet music and # grateful blending of the works of the two greatest poets—nature and ‘The stage properties were hewn with the x from cedar groves, the carpet was a Jawn. the “sky-drop” was the blue vault of the heavens and “Old Sol” managed the calcium ligt. The most praiseworthy care was taken in getting together a company for this presentation. The novelty of the idea did not by any means constitute the main claim to interest. The cast was an exceptionally competent one. ‘Mr. Hanford is one of the prophets who enjoys honor in his own country. He earn- ef new praises by his presentation of the role of Jacques and added another to the Jong list of reasons that Washington has to be proud of him. Miss Alberta Gallatin had already made herself known to the public as a graceful and capable exponent of the role of Rosalind, and shé was es- Pecially winsome on this occasion.

Mr. Duke Frederick, Mr. Stephen t as Oliver, Mr. James L. Carhart as Robert Smiley as Jacques de Boys, C. Elliot as Corin and Mr. Theodore bus as Amiens all contributed ap- preciably towart making the performance one of even merit. ‘The Capital Glee Club sang the incidental music in the most effective manne> and be- tween the acts Prof. Cloward and the club introduced solo and chorus work that was appreciated by the audience. ee ‘The Matthew's Sale ‘wil begin tomorrow at residence, No. 1900 street, at 11 a_m., and no doubt will be largely attended, the goods are all very de- sirable, in fine condition, and worthy of at- tention.

Washington Has More Than Real- ized Its Founders’ Hopes, MR. PARKERS ADDRESS TODAY. The Glorious Promise of the Dis- trict’s Second Century. CONGRESS AND CAPITAL. District Commissioner Myron M. Parker spoke today as the representative of the District of Columbia ut the celebration of the Capitol centennial. Mr. Parker said; ‘The ceremonies here today w'Jl occupy an important page In the history of our country. The celebration of the one-hun- dredth anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of the United States Capitol will be of unusual interést to the people of our country, while to the citizens of Wash- ington it 1s an event uf more than local importance, since Jt umph:sizes our won- drous growth and greatness. All xovern- ments point with pride to their respective capitals. To speak of London is to refer to England; the name of Paris covers that of France. ‘If you would speak of Austria you have only to mention Vienna, while Rome with her eternal hills overshadows Italy. So, too, of our own beloved coun- try, @ unification of states, with a popuia- tion of 6,000,0% of people, every one of whom is thrilled with pride and patriotism at the mention of Washiagton, their beau- tiful capital. The application of these proceedings from an executive, legislative and judicial standpoint have been xppropriately con- sidered by the President and Vice Pres!- dent of the United States, by the Honorable Speaker of the House cf Representatives and by Mr. Justice Brown of the Supreme Court,while from a national ‘standpoint in an eloquent address by the Hon, W:lliam Wirt Henry. It is fitting, therefore, as one of the Commissioners of the District of Co- jumbia I should speak of the event which these imposing ceremonies commemorate with respect to the (ifluences which have resulted to the city of Washturton: locally. To properly discuss this subject would oc- cupy much more than the ten minutes al- lotted me by the committee. 1 must, therefore, refer briefly to some of the mate- rial points. Locating the Capitol. The location of the national capital was a subject of much contention between the north: and the south. Claimants for the honor of providing a permanent seat of government were unyielding in their de- mands by state pride and state jealousy. Sectional animosities also added to the dit- terness of the controversy. Congress found this subject a fruitful source of wrangling. ‘This body met in different places, accord- ing as convenience suggested or necessity compelled, naming from time to time dif- ferent locations, only to reverse its de- cision at the next discussion of the subject. It will be remembered that the proposed site on the Potomac, supported by many southern members, was repeatedly rejected. In 1783 a location on the Delaware was thought more desirable than the one on the Potomac, and, in 1784, Congress appoint- ed a commission to select a site upon the former river. That this selection was not mgde is well known to the country, and the contention was left to the First Congress meeting under the Constitution. Up- on the meeting of this body the wrangle became more heated than ever before. _ Philadelphia, German- town, Havre de Grace, Wright's Ferry on the Susquehanna and a location on the Po- tomae were each urged as having the strongest claims. ‘The persistency of Mr. Madison and other southern members finally prevailed, and, in July, 1790, the House by a vote of 32 to 29, and the Senate by a vote of 14 to 12, decided in favor of the Potomac. After years of preparation for the event, during which period the site was selected by President Washington, work on the several buildings was begun, ‘and Washington, a8 the nation’s capital came into being. E to Remove the Capital. Since 1800, the date on which the archives of the government were brought from Philadelphia in “seven large boxes, and four or five smaller ones,” there have been periodical attempts to remove the seat of government, which removal would, of course, have been the death knell to Wash- ington. An Englishman, named Weld, who ited the future capital in 1796, ‘says: otwithstanding all that has been done at the city, and the large sums of money which have been expended, there are num- bers of people in the United States living to the north of the Potomac, particularly in Philadelphia, who are still’ very adverse to the removal of the seat of government thither, and are doing all in their power to check the progress of the buildings in that elty, and to prevent the Congress from meeting there at the appointed time.” A sample of the attacks upon the capital may be found in “Crito's Letters on the Seat of Government,” published in 1507. He says: “In the meantime be it known to the good people of the Union, from New Hampshire to Georgia, (for I presume, without fear of contradiction, that ninety- nine hundredths of the youth of the United States grow up to manhood without ever having seen the capital of thelr country,) that the national bantling called the city of Washington, remains, after ten years of expensive fostering, a rickety infant, un- able to go alone. Nature will not be forced. A sickly child cannot be dressed and andled into a healthy constitution. This embryo of the states will always be a dis- appointment to its parents, a discredit to the fond opinions of Its worthy god-fathers end god-mothers, and an eye-sore to all its relations to the remotest degree of con- sanguinity.” Crito concludes his advice by recommending that the seat of government be removed to Philadelphia. ‘The last attempt to remove the capital was made in 189, by L. U. Reavis and others, in and out of Congress, St. Louis being the city that was to become the future capital. Mr. Reavis in his book says: “ unhesitatingly answer that the change will be made within five years from January 1, 1869, and before 1875 the President of the United States will deliver his message at the new seat of government in the Missis- sippi Valley.” There were many Influences about this time which tended to check and finally to wipe out all efforts having in view the removal of the capital. ‘The New Era. Under the leadership of a man of high character, great executive ability and de- termination, a man with broad, comprehen- sive views, a system of public improvements was inaugurated and carried to a success- ful conclusion, which so changed the char- acter and condition of our city as to place it | at the beginning of a new era, an era of prosperity, which In an unprecedented man- ner has continued to exist and which will continue to exist so long as the government lasts. As Baron Haussman was to France. so was Gov. Shepherd to Washington. Un- der his guiding hand a new city was born, the hopes of the immortal Washington ani L’ Enfant were realized, and Washington was finally accepted by the peopie of the United States as the nation’s capital, the nation’s home. Pictures of Old Washington, Let us look for a moment at the physi- cal conditions of the city up to 1875. Chas. W. Jansen, an Englishman, said of us in 1806: “Strangers after viewing the offices of state are apt to inquire for the clty while they are In its very center.” Oliver Wolcott, Secretary of the Treasury, and Mrs. President Adams complained of the scattered condition of the houses. In 1814, after the Secretary of War had sneer- ed at the suggestion that the British might molest the “Sheep walk,” and after the national representatives more than our lo- cai defenders had permitted the city to be captured, it had the following appearance “Twelve of fifteen clusters of houses at considerable distance from each other, bringing to our recollection the appearance of a camp of nomad Arabs, which, how- ever, if connected together, would make a very respectable town, not much inferior perhaps to the capital of Virginia, the whole of it when seen from the ruins of our pub- lic edifices looking more like the place where proud Washington once stood than where | humble Washington now les.” In 1839 George Combe, the British trav- eler, described the city’ as “Itke a large, straggling village reared in a drained swamp.” | At about this period our corporation laws | prohibited hogs from running at large ‘south of Massachusetts avenue,” under penalty of seizure. All the land ‘north of that avenue was free pasturage. As late as in 1862, speaking of Massachusetts ave- nue, Anthony Trollop says: “Massachu- setts avenue runs the whole length of the city, and {s inserted on the maps as a full blown street, about four miles tn length. Go there and you will find yourself not only out of town, away among the fields, but you will find yourself beyond the fields in an uncultivated wilderness. Tucking your trousers up to your knees, you will wade through the bogs, you will lose yourself among rude hillocks, you will be out of the Teach of humanity.” Let us contrast this truthful description of thirty years ago to the present Massachusetts avenue, lined on either side with magnificent residences, and we can reach a fair conclusion of the phe- nomenal growth and prosperity of Wash- ington. The Congress of the United States selected Washington and laid it out on a magnificent scale, the wisdom of which has been justified by’ the experience of a cen: tury. ‘So broad and comprehensive was this plan that our people found themselves al- most in a condition of bankruptcy in their efforts—unaided by the general government —to erect public buildings and improve streets, We therefore find that after much wrang- lng and contention, the capital was located on the Potomac in a comparative wilder- ness, and abandoned by the general govern- ment, so far as financial aid was concerned. Congress, while liberal in the expenditure of the people's money, declined to appro- priate money to make the national capital attractive. For years the cupital intrusted to its keeping contin-ed to be an object of derision and contempt. Aye, more than that, It contributed by Its own neglect to thake more wretched the city's forlorn con- dition, and then joined in the laugh at the latter's expence. “s The City and the General Government Finding this to be the unhappy cundition Jet me occupy a moment of your time with a brief statement of what cur city has done for itself and the general government. First, it must be remembered that the United States owns one-half of all the prop- erty in the District, on which it pays no taxes and on which, prior to 1973, it never contributed anything for the support of our local government. When the capital was located in Wash- ington our citizens donated five-sevenths of all the land in the city of Washiugton for streets and ayenues, 53 per vent of the en- tire area for parks und ~vservaticas, or 541 acres. One-half of all the city Jots were given to help erect public buildings and to open and improve streets. Up to 18% the citizens (the population at ‘hat time had only reached 13,000) had exptnded for street improvements, ‘mostly around ,ublic build- ings, $190,000, the United States $200,000. From 1790 to 1878, almost a century, ‘the United States expended ‘aside from public buildings) less than $6,000,000, the citizen! $45,000,000. From 1879 to’ 1887 oyr people in- vested in new buildings $32,000,001. ‘They paid a direct tax of $20,900 for the war of 1812, fitted up a building for Congress when the Capitol was burned and ten lerod a loan of $600,000 to rebulld the public buildings, which Congress accepted. During the iast war we paid a direct tax of $50.00, no por- tion of which has been efunded. We ha e tax of 36.454,9%, much a8 any of the territories except Dakota, and imore than either of the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Maine, Mississippl, Nevada, South Caro- ina or Vermont. We supplied our share of volunteers for the war of 1812 and the Mexican war. in the late war we furn‘sned our full qucta and 181-2 per cent over, while Uuvt, seven states filled, their quota, and only one equalled the District. In the late war the first volunteers were citizens of the Dis- trict. The government has given to the states $23,000,000 in money, %,000,90 acres of public lands for schools and 155,000,0 ecres for railroads. The District of Columbia has never been given a tollar or an acre of ground. It must not be thougnt that we Jo not appreciate the benefits that have resuited from the millions that have been expended by the government in the erection of public bulldings, nor are we unmindful of the tact that since 1878 the yoverament has borne her share of the expenses, but we Jo claim that Washington has done far more for herself and the general goverament than should have been expected by Congress. The Form of Government. We have had three different forms of government. From January 23, 1791, to June 1, 1802, the local government was vest- ed in a board of three Commissioners, ap- pointed by the President. From 1802 to 1812, the mayor was appointed by the President. From 1812 to 18%) the mayor was elected by the aldermen and common council. In 1871 the government was changed to territorial in form, and so continued until 1874, Henry D. Cooke and Alexander R. Shepherd bein; appointed governors by the President. Con. gress, in 18/4, again changed our govern: ment to a board of three Commissioners, | to be appointed by the President. This | form of government is now in force, and is | believed to be the best municipal form of | government in existence. Under its pro- vision® we are free from political broils | and entanglements. Those who have been | selected for the high and responsible posi- tion of Commissioners have been men of high character; every dollar contributed by our tax-payers and the general government is religiously accounted for. The govern- ment of the District of Columbia is free from even the suspicion of jobbery. Our population in 179% was 14,093; in 1800, %,080; while today _we number about 280,000. Since June Ll, 1878, Congress has appro- priated annually 60 per centum of the ap- proved estimates for expenditures of the | District, the remaining 60 per cent being raised by taxation on the property. Relations of the District to Congress. The relations between the people of the District and Congress have been strength- ened and unified from year to year. We are) no longer regarded as mendicants, and our | treatment is liberal and in keeping with the| Progress and dignity of the capital of a| great republic. From a wretched beginning Washington has grown to be the fairest and most at- tractive city in the land, and is recognized as one of the mort beautiful In the world. We have upward of %0 miles of smooth as- phalted strects, fringed on either side by the luxurious shade of overhanging trees. Great national parks environ the city. Un- der the provisions of a recent act of Con- gress, the magnificent plan of Washington will be continued, and our broad streets and avenues will’ soon touch the District Une. Years ago the rim of Washington was knocked off by our rapidly Increasing population;Roundary street has been wiped out—our Mmits are now the boundaries of the District. The broad waters of the Potomac flow on to the ocean, kissing the silent, sacred shores of Mount Vernon. Our public schools are unsurpassed. Al- ready we have become a great literary, art and scientific center. No people are more loyal, generous, and hospitable than ours; no city on the face of the earth more attractive and beautiful. It would be impossible to overestimate our future possibilities. . Our growth and prosperity will be an evidence and a result of national progress: and greatness. The District's second centu an echo of the nation’s progre: We have already, more than realized the fondest hopes of our founders—Washington is the ideal eity of the world. — ALEXANDRIA, should be Alexandria is more than quiet today, although business {s not abandoned. The schools are closed and a large portion of its population is in Washington, The funeral of Rev. Dr. Norton, one of the leading pastors, took place at noon to- day, and that of S. Ferguson Beach, one of its ieading lawyers, this afternoon. Miss Ethel Spencer, the sixteen-year-old daughter of Capt. Spencer of the Midland road, died yesterday morning, and Mr. Wm. D. Appich, son of Mr. D. H. Appich, the King street confectloner, died last night, Mr. Appich was only twenty-one years of age and would have graduated this year in the medical department of Georgetown University. Rev. 8 Glaser, the new pastor of the |Gérman Lutheran Church here, was in- | stalled yesterday by Rev. W. C. H. Lelb- kert and Rev. C. C. Mohart’ of Washing. ton.

After all the premiums are paid there will still be a balance to the credit of the soclety. The recent death of Mr. Elisha J. Hail, a former president of the society, was noted by the passage of resolutions of condolence and respect. In the official list of premiums an error has been discovered in the class of stand- ard bred horses, whereby Mr. E. B. Lafferty of Washington was reported as having re- ceived the second premium for his horse, Col. Heywood, when In fact he received the first. The error was made in the hurry of transcribing from the books. Among those who have recently left this county for the world’s fair are: Mr. Geo. Simms of Barnesville, J. L. Higgins of Boyd's, R. L.

His Brutal Assailant is Hel Bail to Await Resi Policeman Charles B. Terry of the eighth precinct was near death's door several times last night. At one time there was no sign of life left, and the doctors had about given him up for dead, but he rallied and rested comfortably until this morning. ‘There was no change for the worse before noon today. The officer was assaulted by @ prisoner at an early hour yesterday morn- ing, and the prisoner occupied a cell in the station last night, while the supposed fa- tally injured officer was being cared for in another room in the station. Richard Meany is the name of the young man who committed the assault. He had figured in police assaults before, so that it Was not a novel experience with him. Early Sunday morning he hired a cab and was driven about the city, and when he was driven in the direction of his home, 18th and T streets, he had some trouble with the driver, a colored man named Lewis. Meany was under the influence of liquor, and be- sides refusing to pay his hire he grabbed the lap robe from the vehicle and ran off with it, The driver followed, yelling at the top of his voice. In addition to arousing the neighborhood he attracted the attention of Policeman Boyd, but the officer was not qual to the occasion. Meany had but little trouble in landing Officer Boyd on ihe pavement and then making a second break for liberty. But he was overtaken and another short struggle ensued. The distress whistle kad attracted Policeman Terry to the scene and he went for the man in a d2cermined man- ner and although there was a severe strug- gle the prisoner's head was not overlooked and when he reached the station his ap- pearance was that of a man who was more Heavy ‘Terry in the groin, but the latter paid no attention to it further than to suffer a little pain, and he thought the soreness would wear off in the course of a day or two. He continued on .tuty and again at 6 o'clock last evening he answered roll call and went out on his beat. Fe had not been on his beat many min- utes before he felt a severe pain about the region of his groin, where he had heen kicked, and when he reached Kime’s di store, corner of 14th and Pierce streets, he fainted. Dr. Dillenbach prescribel for the officer, and rendered temporary relief. When’ the patient had recovered from his fainting spell he was removel to the police station, where several physicians were called to attend him. An examination showed that an internal hemorrhage was causing the trouble. He was too weak to be sent home, and so the physicians remained with him at the station. As alrealy stated? he grew worse during the night, and his weak condition prevented the doctors from performing an operation. This morning the prisoner was taken to the Police Court, where there was a charge pf attempted murder preferred against im. Lawyer Moss appeared for him, and the case went over to await the result of the officer's injuries. Bail was fixed at $3,000, This afternoon the injured officer was much better. —_+___ A Dash Through the Parade.

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Central News says that an imperial ukase will shortly be issued abolishing the Practice of knouting by the police. It is stated that the initiative has been taken by the czar himself, who ordered the gov- ernors of different provinces to report on this kind of punishment. The reports sub- mitted to the czar revealed the fact that the use of the knout was often resorted to for the most trivial offenses; that women and even children were not exempt from | it, and that frequently they were maimed for life. All the governors favored its abo- Utlon. ——_-e+ ____ English Congra‘ a. The London Times says editorially of the last three races between the Britannia and Navahoe: ‘We must frankly admit that the Bren- ton's Reef match was a fine, hard race, salled under conditions making the victory something to be exceptionally proud of. Despite some natural chagrin at losing the Brenton’s Reef cup, British yachtsmen, who appreciate Mr. Carroll's pluck and pe: sistency, will be pleased that he does rot return empty-handed to America. They recognize, too, that the Navahoe won the cup on her merits. It is only just to acknowledge that she quite redeemed her character as a hard weather boat.” ———_+e+______ Playing Nineteen Games at Once. E.

President Washington officiated on that occasion, assisted by the Masonic bodies of Maryland and Virginia, The magnificent city of to- ital. |day was then a willerness, and the repub- Uc of which it then became the capital was a mere fringe of thinly populated communi- ties along the Atlantic coast.
