Policemen O’Brien and McGrann of the third precinct, answered a call for assist- ance at the residence of Mr. J. J. Fink, No. 1124 New Hampshire avenue, about 11:45 o'clock last night, and Mrs. Fink asked them to take from the house her brother- in-law, Walter Fink, whom she thought was under the influence of liquor. He had been drinking and Mrs. Fink’s husband ‘was not at home, and she thought the police had better care for him during the night. She did not want him about the house, as she feared there would be trouble. The Patrol wagon was sent for and the young man was taken in charge by the officers. He was in a terrible condition, partly due to the use of whisky and partly from the effects of morphine. “You had better kiss me good-bye,” sald the yourg man, as the officers took him from the house. “This is the last time you will see me alive.” Seeing the young man was suffering from the effects of the morphine which he said he had taken, the officers conveyed him to the mcy Hospital instead of to the police station. There the physicians saw that the unfortunate man could not recover, but they did all in their power to relieve him. He died about 5:30 o'clock this morn- ing. was about twenty years old. He lived at the house of his brother, but had no employment. His brother is in New York on business just now. He has been notified of his brother’s death. He will take charge of the body. The coroner viewed the body and after learning the facts decided that as it was a plain case of suicide an inquest was un- necessary. —_—-> POLICE FINANCES. Chief Clerk Sylvester Makes an Inter- esting Report Yesterday. Chief Clerk Sylvester of the police de- partment has submitted his annual report to Maj. Moore. In his report he says: In 1884 the police force numbered 247 members, while in 1893 the full complement was 433 men. As a consequence there was ® corresponding increase in the clerical repuirements. This was especially evi- denced in the additional cases coming be- fore the trial board, their number in 18% being 98, and 162 in the year 1993. For some years the only assistant allowed me by law, a stenographer, was enabled to divide his duties, transacting, in addition to his shorthand work, the full portion that would devolve upon a clerk, but in late years the taking of testimony, and writing out of the same, besides other demands of a like nature, have required his full time and attention. As a result the clerical la- at headquarters have been transacted by myself and three policemen, detailed from precinct duty for that purpose. In 1884 the items summarized as follows: Pay roll of department... Property clerk's sales....... . 146 Collections and payments for po- Hce_ uniforms. 7,662 69 1,423 18 925 00 13,602 36 3,289 00 36,608 83 « $337,433 39 In 18% they had assumed m: formida- ble proportions, as follows Pay roll of department... $481,077 27 Police Court fines deposited. 167 7% Fines and rewards... 143 4 Property clerk’s sales. 197 6 Collections and payments for lee uniforms..... 12,502 06 Charity expenditures. 7,684 TL Detection of crime.. 498 79 Verification of department e: - 19,79 82 + 7,531 00 36,603 83 Total $607,399 42 During the last fiscal year the returns from and disposition of abandoned, lost and stolen property were as follows: Amount received, $36,603.83; delivered to owner by order of the court upon proof of ownership, $52,922.31; delivered to claimants on bond, $1,381; sold, $197.66; total,$34,500.97; estimated value of remainder, $2,192.96. During the year there were received in collections from fines, rewards and lost time, $1,832.23, of which $338.39 was re- mitted given in rewards to officers or is still due. ee Institat of a New Lodge. Last evening J. W. Van Vleck, grand chief templar; Mrs. W. S. Rowley, G. V. T., and F. C. Spurgeon, grand secretary, with a number of other members of differ- ent subordinate lodges of the city, went to Langdon, on the B. and O. railroad, and in- stituted a lodge of Good Templars, to be known as Langdon Lodge, No. 6, with a charter membership of twenty—others will be added to this within the next thirty days. These were only initiated by the grand officers named. These members after- ward nominated and elected their lodge officers for the ensuing quarter, and these were duly installed into office by the grand chief templar. Responsive addresses, short and to the point, were made by the new C. T. and V. T., chaplain and others. This new organization starts out at Lang- don under most favorable auspices. ——_—_ The Man ts a Fraud. A man, who gave his name as McDonald and said that he ts connected with The Star, called on a well-known business man the other day and solicited a subscription for an institution which he called the repor- ter’s home. As there is no one of that name connected with The Star, and as the insti- tution is unknown, it is safe to say that the man isa fraud. eee Book sale at Sloan's, 147 G street 7:20 ‘this evening.—Advt. | | more popular in this city than Julia Mi | titled, “My Husband's Photograph.” [eight feet. PRESCRIPTIONS NECESSARY To Obtain Intoxicating Drinks From Drug- gists and Apothecaries. Thomas Says Druggists Ca Take Out Wholesale Licenses— The Law on the Subject. The attorney for the District holds in an opinion rendered to the Commissioners to- day that druggists and apothecaries are forbidden by section 11 of the new license Jaw to sell intoxicating Mquors except upon the prescription of a physician, and that they are not permitted to take out a whole- sale license under the 8th section of the act, above referred to. This opinion was called for. by the Com- missioners several days ago. Mr. Thomas says, speaking of the law on the subject: “The language of this section, it seems to me, excludes the idea that druggists are en- Utled to take out licenses under section 8 of said act. Druggists are authorized by the llth gection of the act to sell intoxicating liquors for medical purposes, but upon no other condition. They are required to keep a record of their sales of liquor specifying the names of the person to whom sold and the prices obtained, and this record, it is declared, shall be at ail times open to the inspection of the excise board. “Such a thing is not required of whole- sale or retail dealers licensed under the eighth section of the act, thus showing con- clusively that it was the intention of Con- gress to restrict druggists in the sale of in- toxicating Hquors to such sales as shall be made for medical p If there was any doubt on this point it would be re- moved by the language in the same sec- tion, ‘and any failure to comply with the provisions of this section shall render such druggist or apothecary so failing, lable to the same penalties as if he had sold in- toxicating liquors without a license.’ “For these reasons my opinion is that druggists and apothecaries are forbidden by section eleven of the act of Congress ap- proved March 3, 1898, to sell intoxicating liquors except upon the prescription of a physician, and that they are not permitted to take out a*wholesaic license under the eighth section of the act, and I so advise you.” —_———__. AMUSEMENTS. Albaugh’s.—Mr. “Bobby Gaylor,” Robert Gaylor, once but now resplendent in new dignities, and it should not be over- | jet; looked, wearing them in a very easy fash- jon, appeared at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House last night in the farce-comedy, “Sport McAllister.” Plenty of singing, dancing, wit and merriment keep the ac- tion moving lightly and rapidly, and there is very little plot to interfere with the suc- cession of specialties. The star brings a personality that is as funny as it is unique into the piece. He has improved very substantially in his work. The house that greeted the production was a strong testimonial to the star’s popularity, as it was crowded to the doors. New National.—Across the Potomac,” given with all the stage equipments need- ed to impress its incidents vividly on the minds of the audience, awakened the senti- ment and sympathies of a large audience at The New National Theater. The play has already been seen and approved in this city. The cast included capable peo- ple, and some of the speeches were deliv- ered in a manner that sent echoes of en- thusiasm clear from the orchestra to the back row of the gallery. Among the good work done was that of Gus Frankel in his impersonation of the old negro servant. Academy of Music.—No female star i lowe, and her engagements here are alway! looked forward to with pleasureable an- ticipation. Miss Marlowe still retains her girlish appearance and grace that were such attractive adjuncts to her first success, and it is her winning personality as much as her artistic development that retains her hold upon the public. Last night at the Academy of Music Miss Marlowe was seen for the first time in this city in the part of Constance in James Sheridan Knowles’ comedy of “The Love Chase,” a character that brought out all her good points, end her performance greatly pleased a large and cultured audience. Her support was Mr. Henry Jewett making an excel- lent Wildrake, Mr. H. A. Weaver a com- tent Sir William, and Messrs Walter lale, Thos. Coleman and Wm. Boag being in every way efficient. The Widow Green of Miss Rose Eytinge was a thoroughly artistic piece of work, as was expected of such an experienced and finished actress. Miss Marlowe was called before the cur- tain at the end of every act. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—“The Outcasts of a Great City” is the attraction at the Bijou this week. Last night a large audience greeted the initial performance in this city and went home thoroughly pleased. The play is of the melo-dramatic class, possessed of a strong plot with ample opportunities of displaying the dramatic ability of the com- pany. The four acts abound in startling situations and effective tableaux. The scen- ery is excellent and the attempt to wreck the train in the third act was a fine bit of realism. The company is good throughout, Daniel A. Kelly, as the hero in the role of Dennis O'Hara, adding new laurels to his popularity. In the second act specialties by Miss Edith Hall, Little Josie Barrows and George W. Allen were greatly enjoyed. Again tonight. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—By far the best variety entertainment presented at Kernan’s this season is that given by Hyde's Specialty Company, now filling a week's engagement at that theater. Last night a crowded house welcomed the show. The program is long and there is not a bad feature, while many of the acts are entirely new. The performance opened with a sketch by those fun-makers, Hayden and Hether- ton. Then came Jessica, the queen of the slack wire, who performed a serpentine lance on the wire. “The Two American Macs" contributed a laughable sketch, while Ray and Sherwood did a clever turn en- Falke and Semons proved themselves not only comedians, but thorough musicians. The Allisons are excellent dancers, and Helen Mora received an ovation. She has lost none of her rich contralto voice and her songs were well rendered. The Imperial Zanueto Troupe are truly marvelous jugglers, and the afterpiece, “The Wild West,” very fun- ny. Again tonight. Wonderland.—There was disappointment at Wonderland because the boxing kangaroo did not appear, but the talking seal of Prof. Perkins, which took the place of the dead kangaroo, made a great hit. New attrac- tions are being added to the museum, in- cluding the Albinos, Mme. La Tosca, the snake charmer, and Prof. West, in feats of magic. In the auditorium the performance 1s quite good, the program including a num- ber of well-known specialty people. Fisk Jubilee Singers.—Tomorrow evening the singers will appear for the second time at Metzerott Hall. The indications are that the audience will be larger than at the first concert. The program will be changed, though the old plantation songs will be largely given. Those who were fortunate enough to hear the first concert will doubt- less go again, and those who did not will be amply repaid by attending this entertain- ment. Reserved seats at Metzerott’s. —__- University Affairs. ‘Today the written examination for the baccalaureate in sacred theology was held at the Catholic University, and on Satur- day the oral examination will be held. This afternoon Bishop Keane will leave the unt- versity for a short trip to Wilkesbarre, Pa., where he will be present at the dedication ceremony of the monument built to the memory of the dead members of the tem- perance cause. Bishop Keane will deliver an oration on the occasion. a High School Notes. On Saturday the Business foot ball team will play the team from St.John’s Academy, Alexandria. The game will take place at Capital Park, this city. The Business team will go to Baltimore on the 13th of Novem- ber and meet the Baltimore City College team. Mr. Raymond Riordan organized his squad of young ladies yesterday afternoon. The drill program of the squad will consist of Indian club exercises, fancy marching movements and a short exercise in dumb bells. At present the squad includes: Misses M. Swingle, Bugbee, McKenna, Hopkins, Sites, Gray, Giroua Erly, Butt, Yoder, Robinette and French. It is understood that the Indian club exercise will be made general among the young ladies,and a large class formed, similar to the boys’ athletic classes, to meet on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons.

All Charged With Vagrancy Today in the Police Court. In Judge Kimball's court this morning there were five cases of vagrancy, anu the court took occasion to make a few remarks about policy playing. Mary Howard, a col- ored woman, was defendant in the partic- ular case, and the police suspected that she was a habitual policy player. “I've seen her in company with persons who are known as policy people,” said the officer, “and I see her going in the direc- tion of Georgetown almost every day.” He could not say positively that the woman played policy. “This case comes a little short of show- ing the woman to be a vagrant,” said the court. “I have one of the Gorgetown officers here who saw her going over the bridge,” interrupted the officer. “If we can’t walk across the Long bri without getting arrested,” remarked saa Lani Shor eee it's about time we coutnery is m this section of the judge Kimball said he had held persons on this charge when they were only play. ers. “Any person who goes across the river to play policy two or three times a Ca = rend me work is an idle person of e court then as such.” sahpcemek eet In the case before the court the judge were suspicious circum- Proof was not sufficient to woman was discharged. and James Monroe were the names given by two strangers in the city against whom there was a charge of cy.

I'll go with him.” “You may go.” Annie Crawford, an elderly woman, who is acquainted with every brick and stone in the workhouse floor, was next in line. She had nothing whatever to say, for the proof against her was as conclusive as her face was familiar. “Sixty days.” The last of the five alleged vagrants was a man who gave his name as George Rey- nolds. “I’m a plumber from Pittsburg,” he said, “and I am here looking for work. The judge said he thought the best thing for him to do was to leave town, and the wee he would do so if given the oppor- unity. TENLEYTOWN CITIZENS, They Meet to Their Needs. The wants of Tenleytown are numerous and frequent. So much so that her citi- zens say they will not rest until the most important have been fulfilled. Last night @ large attendance assembled in the town hall and in regular meeting discussed the needs of the place with a view of bringing them more forcibly to the eyes of the au- thorities of the District with the hope of securing favorable legislation. Tenleytown in the first place, they said, is without light As much territory as she covers and as many by-roads within her limits, not even an oil lamp can be found that is main- tained by the city. Light is essential to public safety there, as the highway over which the dangerous electric cars &: narrow and dark. In addition to this the conveyances run within three feet of the east building line and directly adjoining the only footway in the town. The citizens want the main road electrically lighted and the smaller highways provided with oil lamps of sufficient number to keep them property lighted for public purposes. As rge a place as Tenleytown is and as im- portant a part as she plays in filling the tax collectors’ coffers, she is certainly en- titled to improved footways, one of the citizens declared. Others present took up and discussed at length the subject, finally deciding to appoint a committee to wait upon the Commissioners and request a favorable consideration of the matter. Board walks on the Rockville, Belt, Mur- dock and river roads will be asked for. All of these highways are greatly used. Fre- quent robberies have of late annoyed the Tenleytowners. Many of them could have been prevented, they say, had the town been provided with a sufficient number of policemen. There are but a few officers in all the county round and their time is mostly taken up in other sections of the District. They seldom stay in Tenleytown proper. The people therefore want in- creased police facilities. Dr, Chappell again spoke on the school question. So did Chairman McCobb and other prominent citizens. Dr. E. W. Slaymaker discussed various needs, mostly of a sanitary nature, The place could not much longer do with- out sewers or proper drainage. he said. It was becoming too thickly settled. Some- thing must be done or the health of the place would become affected. Committees were appointed to act on many of the sub- jects discussed. Messrs. Boland and Het- der, with Dr. Slaymaker, were chosen as; the representatives of the citizens on the police question. —__- Officers Elected. Perseverance Lodge of Good Templars has elected the following officers for the ensuing term: Chief Templar, Mr. John Bryson; vice templar, Miss Kate Clem- ents; secretary, G. J. Keithley; financial secretary, Fred. Kalstrom; treasurer, Mrs. Elizabeth Bryson; superintendent juvenile temple, Miss A. G. Hawk; chaplain, Mrs. Rebecca Hobbs; marshal, Mr. W. H. Hope; guard, Mr. Wm. Turner; sentinel, Mr. A. Kalstrom. These officers will be ‘installed at the next meeting by Mr. A. H. Frear, deputy. ————_— Novel Entertainment. Mr. Buckingham, the well-known candy- ist, proposes to accent the opening of his new store at 516 11th street by giving to each of the newsboys of the city a package of candy at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Pensions and Aliens. Senator Palmer from the committee on pensions reported to the Senate today with the recommendation that it pass a bill re- pealing the section of the pension appropri- ation bill approved March, 1893, providing that after July 1, 1893, no pension shall be paid to a non-resident, who is not a citizen of the United States, except for actual dis- ability incurred in the service of this coun- ty. WILL THEY CLOSE? ' An Interesting Phase of the New Liquor License Law Are Dealers Not Licensed Subject to Prosecution After Today t—No Desire to Deal Harshly. After today all persons who have not been licensed to sell intoxicating liquors under the act of March 3, 1893, are subject to arrest and prosecution. This is what the attorney for the District holds in an opinion to the Commissioners today. Several days ago the Commissioners wrote a letter to the attorney asking whether un- der section 17 of the act of March 3, 1893, regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors, it is permissible for persons who have had a license under the old law and who ap- | Ply for a license under the new law on or before the Ist of November to continue to sell until their application for license has been acted upon by the excise board. Section 17 of the act above referred to declares: “That all applicants who have had a li- cense during the preceding year shall apply for a renewal of such license on or before November 1 of each license year, and shall be permitted to continue business until license shall be granted or refused by the excise board; but in all cases of refusal to grant license such proportion of the Hcense fee as may have become due shall be de- ducted and retained from the sum deposited therefor as the time from the Ist day of November to the date of such refusal bears to the entire license year, and no other Person shall be permitted to conduct said business until a license is issued therefor.” “It will be observed,” says the attorney, “that this section refers to applicants who have had a license under the law of March 3, 1893. The effect of this law was to cre- ate a new system regulating the sale of liquors in this District. This appears by section 21 of the act which declares: “That this act shall be in lieu of and as @ substitute for all existing laws and regu- lations in the District of Columbia in rela- tion to the sale of distilled and fermented Mquors in the said District, and that all laws or parts of laws inconsistent with this act, except such laws as are applicable to the sale of liquor within one mile of the Soldiers’ Home, be, and they are hereby, repealed. “The language that all applicants who have had a license during the preceding year,” says the attorney, “in section 17 of the new law refers to such applicants as have had a license under the new law dur- ing the preceding license year and who ap- ply for a renewal for such license year, and not to persons doing business under licenses issued under the old law. It fol- lows that persons who have had a license under the old law and who are applicants for licenses for the coming license year are not permitted to conduct business after the 3ist instant unless licenses are issued to them, and I so advise you.” To Be Considered. Commissioner Parker, who is president of the excise board, stated to a reporter of The Star today that as far as he was con- cerned there was no disposition to place a strict construction upon the opinion. It would. be manifestly unjust to close old estabifshed places without any warning. When the board met this afternoon he would bring the matter up, and see if there were not some way to get around the mat- ter. He proposed, however, to cal! up all applications for liquor licenses as soon as the excise board had another meeting and dispose of as many as possible. He did not Propose, however, to violate the law, and if, after careful examination, it were found that the Commissioners had no discretion in the matter, the saloons would have to close. Commissioner Ross said he did not want to work a hardship on the old reliabie Places that have been licensed for years, and against which there has never been any complaint, but if the law was manda- tory and admitted of no discretion the Commissioners were powerless to do any- thing in the matter. The matter will be called up for action at is} the afternoon session of the board. ae eet THAT TRANSFER STATION. The Secretary of the Treasury Ap- Proves a Project. The long pending question of a transfer station at the New York avenue junction of the Washington and Georgetown rail- road has at last reached a point where its speedy settlement seems assured. Appli- cation was recently made by the president of the company to the Secretary of the Treasury for permission to use a portion of the sidewalk on the west side of 15th street, opposite G street, for the erection of @ covered station for the accommodation of Passengers desiring to transfer at that point. The application was accompanied by plans of the proposed station. These plans are for an ornamental structure of iron, fifty feet iong, twenty feet deep and eight feet high, equi-distant from the northeast corner of the Treasury building and the southeast corner of Pennsylvania avenue. It is to be built out from the fence in such @ manner as to afford shelter to its occu- pants, without in any way impeding the thoroughfare. The roof is supported by ornamental pillars, and the only side closed in is the rear end against the fence. The plan was approved by the supervising architect of the treasury, and then the ap- plication for the erection of the structure was approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, subject, however, to the approval of the District Commissioners. As they are committed to the project, provided the Sec- retary of the Treasury does not object, it is reasonable to assume that the matter is practically settled.
