A case of considerable importance to the estates of deceased attorneys has been de- cided by Assistant Secretary Reynolds of the Interior Department on appeal from the action of the pension bu-eau, wherein it is| ruled that where an attorney dies leaving | pension ¢laims pending in which he was entitled to recognition his personal repre- sentative will not be recognized to complete such claims. It is held that the relation of principal and agent is terminated by the death of the attorney, and that the busi- ness unde-taken by him cannot be carried on or completed by his personal representa- tive. The personal representative may, however, dispose of the business of the} decedent to some qualified attorney, who| May prosecute the claims with the consent | of the claimant and recognition by the pen- | sion bureau. kagiving. mg day Archbishop Satolli will | preside at the high mass to be celebrated at % o'clock in St joysius Church.

Yesterday being a fair day, although the temperature was rather cool, there were large crowds at the Zoo, the record showing | the attendance of 13,507. The new animals are the objects of much attention and the | number of people who go out to the park | Proves that it is fulfilling the object for which it was established, viz. the amuse- ment and instruction of the public. The addition of the animals from the | Forepaugh circus affords an opportunity for the presentation at the Zoo of specimens | that it would be impossible to purchase, and | all at comparatively little expense. “It Would have cost us $30,000, at least,” said Dr. Frank Raker, the curator of the Zoo, to a Star reporter, “to have bought such a collection of animals, and, of course, we hadn't the money to do that. It is doubtful if Congress would appropriate that much money even to procure such fine specimens as we are now wintering, for, you know, Congress is always disposed to be econom- ical where the money is for the general good and where no specific class will be benefit- ed. It costs but little to feed these animals and they afford an immense amount of amusement and instruction to the whole community, as is proved by the crowds that come out to the park every fair day, par- ticularly on Sunday. A week ago, although it was an unpleasant day, we registered over 9,000 and yesterday it was over 13,000. I believe that the average Sunday attend- ance during the winter will be 10,000. “On every fair day large numbers come | out, and Superintendent Powell, realizing the benefit to be derived from an’ inspection of this latest collection of animals, has ar- | ranged to send out the school children by schools. There has been some criticism as to our authority for taking these animals and feeding them during the winter, but I think that the general law establishing the Zoo, which provides that it shall be for the amusement and instruction of the public, fully warrants the small expenditure nec- essary to afford so much and wide-spread | attention as this new collection has aroused. “I hope,” added the doctor, “that it will not be long before there will be better facil- ities for reaching the park. As it is now, whichever line of cars the people take, they are compelled to walk about half a mile before reaching the animals. Some railroad ought to be extended so as to go direct to the park gate. It would certainly pay, at | least on Sundays. But the fact that people | will walk that distance after they leave the | cars shows the great interest that they feel in the Zoo.” zoo. a The Cho New Rehearsal Hall. The Choral Society will meet for rehearsal jat Typographical Hall, G street between 4th and Sth, tonight at 7:30 o’clock. The lack of a permanent home has been a great drawback in the past, and the many friends of the society wii] be glad to learn that this hall has finally been secured. It has many advantages, not the least of which is its accessibility; five car lines besides herdics are close at hand. Lighting, heat- ing, ventilation, are all of the best, and with retiring and waiting rooms the hall is very comfortable and convenient. Re- hearsa!s will hereafter be held here regu- larly every Monday evening, and if one can judge by the enthusiasm manifest among the members, the coming production of the Messiah in Convention Hail will be by far the grandest choral concert this city has ever heard. ae eee For the Homeopathic Free Dispensary The lady managers of the Homeopathic Free Dispensary, 625 Massachusetts avenue | northwest, will tomorrow give a Thanks- giving lunch from 12 to 3, and in the even- ing a dance and refreshments. Some 3,000 patients receive medical aid annually through this institution. The present de- pressing times have increased the number of sufferers, and impel those interested to call upon the charitabie for immediate as- sistance. —~+—__ The Thanksgiving Riot Drill. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The President has issued his annual Thanksgiving proclamation, calling on the people to assembie in their various places of worship at the usual hour (which is 11 to the Almighty for the blessings of the past year. The commander of the D. C. N. G. has is- sued orders calling the D. C. N. G. to as- semble at 10 a.m. for a three hours’ street riot drill. This order will prevent the chureh-going part of the militia from fol- lowing the President's advice and request, and attending the Thanksgiving service. Some of the members of the N. G. won't care. Others will care and feel very bad about it. The drill was not set for the afternoon, because it would interfere with the militia- man’s dinner hour. WHy could it not be set for 7 or 7:30 a.m.? This would give ample time for drill, time to clean up and give the members a chance to go to church. It would necessitate a 6 o'clock rising in most cases, but in camp soldiers have to rise even ear- lier. I do not pretend to advise the commander as to what he had better do or censure him for what he has done, but those in com- mand should respect the religious feelings of their subordinates and the proclamations of their President. trust a way may be seen out of the difficult, CITIZE, Wants a Sale. ‘ Georse W.

On Saturday evening Henry Thomas, colored, living at 1309 A street southeast, engaged in putting down the crossing of the cable tracks and the Baltimore and Poto- mac tracks at Maryland avénue and 7th street, was badly hurt, being struck by a cable car. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where it was found that his in- juries were mostly internal.

The Austrian Band's Concert.—The Aus- trian Imperial Band delighted many people assembled at Convention Hall last night, with the kind of music that does not re- quire a large fund of previous knowledge. |It was not an event for purely technical appreciation; it was a concert which moved , bhe emotions of the hearer to merry rhythms {or to the simpler strains which get straight [to the heart without stopping to secure a ‘passport from the intellect. Nevertheless, | the program was a dignified one, containing |as it did products of composers who com- mand critical as well as popular approval. The organization is an admirably constitut- ed one, capable of producing many delicate and unusual effects. It turned from an artistic performance of Liszt’s “Rhapsodie | Hongroise” to “Home, Sweet Home,” and ner that was pleasant, not only for the high standard of execution that was maintained, | but for the spirit of graceful courtesy which the presentation of these works to an American audience implied. Conductor Zehrer has the personal magnetism which, : combined with good discipline, makes the | work of each individual player a sensitive ‘and sympathetic element of the orchestra— | not @ mere automaton. The solo numbers were received with the greatest satisfaction. The performance of Herr Rebner on the violin and of Herr Hell on the key bugle both evoked a degree of enthusiasm that calieg for encore appearances. The modern spirit of realism, which has stepped across the footlights into the or- chestra, was well represented in this pro- gram, in the descriptive fantasia “An Aus- {trian Reservist's Dream.” A number of selections were presented in which vocal and other interpolations were very ingeni- ously introduced. It is expected that the attendance tonight will be even larger than last night. Miss Richards’ Lecture.—Miss Janet Eliza- beth Richards lectured Saturday night at the Universalist Church on the world's fair, for the benefit of the National Homeo- pathic Hospital. Miss Richards treated her ject in her best and brightest way. She has been an extensive traveler, can tell of what she has seen, in a manner which makes her auditors know that she has seen it. She has an artistic sense which is of great value to her in descriptive work. To- night Miss Richards will lecture on the “Midway Plaisance.” Willard Hall.—A bazaar which means bread for the Home for Incurables will be held at Willard Hall December 1 and 2. Useful and fancy articles, dolls, pictures be sold at moderate rates. The famous costumed dolls from the British section, world’s fair, have been loaned for the oc- casion. The Marine Band have generously tendered their services in ald of the great Christ-like charity. Unusual pains have been taken by the distinguished women in charge of the bazaar to render the affair as perfect as possible, in order that its manifold attractions may establish it as an annual custom. The best cooks in the ; District have been engaged, and luncheon, | dinner and supper will be served in the | b¥st manner. It is to be hoped a generous public will recotnpense these noble women for all their trouble. The Lotus *Glee Club of Boston will be | heard at the Church of Our Father, corner | 18th and L streets northwest, tomorrow night. This club has been here before and is pleasantly remembered for its excellent | work, both in solo and concerted numbers, and it will no doubt be greeted with a large | attendance tomorrow night. The club Wille be assisted by Miss Minnie Marshall, elo- cutionist. ———— CARDINAL NEWMAN. Dr. A. J. Faust Lee: ‘on the Life of the Prelate. Dr. A. J. Faust lectured last night at Carroll Institute Hall on Cardinal New- man, under the auspices of the Sodality ‘of St. Patrick's Church. Dr. Faust was a personal friend of the late cardinal and | Spoke with warrant on the life, character and deeds of the dead prelate. He gave an entertaining narrative of the story of the cardinal’s conversion from the Anglican church to the Roman Catholic. The now famous controversy with Gladstone was gone over, and some inside lights turned en. The speaker gave considerable atten- tion to Cardinal Newman's rectorship of the holic University of Ireland. The conversion of Newman had wrought wide- spread influence in behalf of the Catholic church among English-speaking people, Dr. Faust talked at length on the French revolution, in connection with the condi- tion of Europe at the close of the eigh- teenth century, and took the Christian's view of the causes which led up to it.

He was taken to the Emergency Hospital. Sees Hope and Help Mission. Over 1,000 unfortunate and friendless women have been given shelter and protec- tion at the Hope and Help Mission, 622 H street northwest, said Mrs. La Fetra at the | First Congregational Church yesterday af- |ternoon. During the past year the mission | had served 6,508 meals, had given 3,124 | | lodgings, had 1,050 callers, found service | | places for 120 girls, sent sixteen to the hos- ‘pital, made 150 garments and had given away 180 garments. |" Mrs, La Fetra added that the Commis- sione:s had allowed the mission $500, but | they were in need of contributions of every kind that would help make their mission more homelike. If any ladies had articles | they were willing to spare such would be | very gratefully received. She stated that the coal dealers had been gene-ous in sup- | plying them fuel. They had twelve girls now in their family who were under the care of a matron. They were in want of a piano very much, and if any would lend | them one it would be carefully used. The | Rev. E, D.

The policeman was at home at the time and he answered a call at the front door. King was in the hall at the time, and the officer suspecting that he had ‘called to see his (Curren’s) wife, he placed the caller under arrest as a suspicious per- son. A fight ensued, and several blows passed between the men. King finally reached the police station and later in the night he was released on bond. During the hearing of the case in Judge Kimball's court this morning the officer told his story of the man’s actions and said that he was out |sleighing with his (Curren’s) wife last winter. May Burch, who lives in the same house, told the judge that she had invited King to see her. The defendant stated that he went there to see Miss Burch, and Judge Kimball dis- missed the case. aaa Bids Offered.
