At an informal meeting of the board of Commissioners this morning it was unani- mously decided to refuse a license to the ivy City race track to conduct winter rac- ing there. The Commissiorers were mindful of the evil results of winter racing, and the un- lawful crowd it attracted.

Spofford, the librarian of Con- gress, gave an interesting talk last evening in the parlors of the University Club on the subject of the new library. This lecture by Mr. Spofford was the first of a series the University Club intends to hold in its hand- some home. Similar courses have been given in other years, and proved to be at- tractive features of winter life at the club. ——.—_—_ Fires. At 1030 o'clock last night a fire took Place in the stables in the rear of 316 and 818 Indiana avenue, owned by Thos. Blag- @en and John T. Harr. The buildings were completely destroyed.

Northeast Washington. ees THE CITIZENS’ ASSOCIATION. | The Commissioners’ Plan for Pro- viding Work Approved. ——s | MUNICIPAL GAS PLANTS.} \ ee Gas and electric lights were the subjects! announced for discussion at last night's} meeting of the Northeast Washington Citi- zens’ Association. Mr. Tucker reported that the executive! committee had secured the co-operation of | the fast Washington Association in the railroad matter. He said it was evident | that the railroad tracks would have to be elevated. President Frizzell spoke of a line of tele- graph poles on 12th street between Mary-| land and Florida avenues. He said he was | told at the District building that they were for use of the District to connect police telephone wires. He understood that the Commissioners viewed the necessity for the wires as superior to the law against their being strung through the streets. Committees for the ensuing year were announced as follows: . On railroads—W. J. Frizzell, Wm. O. Mil- ler, George Killeen, M. M. Rowzer, H. H. Martin, B. J. O'Brien, C. E. Young, J. H. Huggins and Walter Godwin. On streets, avenues and alleys—W. A. Johnston, W. R. Carver, C. Hail, J. Frech, J. T. Ward, W. B. Creecy, C. Glebel, W. Donaldson, A. H. Davis, P. W. Blazer and G. E. Brown. ; On water, lights and sewers—A. H. F. Holston, E. Q. Gunson, J. R. Colvin, J. Brosnan and B. F. Barnes. On assessments and apportionment of appropriations—A. J. Donaldson, 8. Sower- butts, E. C. Bartlett, A. Turnbull and C. A. Sheehy. On public parks and spaces—J. D. Hin- ternesch, Hammond, F. W. Brandes, P. P. Urth and H. J. Volker. On schools—Dr. E. J. Collins, A. Gi- rouard and C. A. Capell. i On public conveyance—N. L. King, P. W. Smith, I. B. Thatcher, J. J. Curran and C. B. F. Haller. | | | | legislation by Congress— Evan H. Tucker, Dr. E. M. Gallaudet, Rev. >. Gillespie, Rev. B. N. Seymour, W. A. Johnston, Jacob Frech, Prof. Fowler and J. H. McDonald. On sanitary affairs—A. H. F. Holsten, Dr. R. R. Roberts, Dr. J. McAllister, A. W. Lukie and W. H. Lucas. Work and improvemen Mr. Killeen offered a resolution setting forth that as “the District Commissioners | and Capts. Fiebeger and Derby have con-| cluded to ask Congress early in December! for appropriations for the extension of| sewers and streets in order that employ-| ment be furnished for the unemployed,” the Northeast Washington Association heartily indorse the action of said Com- missioners in their endeavors to furnish | employment for the many hundreds now) unemployed and in need of bread and the) necessaries of life. | There was some objection to the resolu- tion, because it was stated that the Com- missioners would expend the money in the northwest section and also because it in- cluded sewers. Mr. Tucker said he did not object to the extension of streets in the northwest, but he favored improvement to the streets in the northeast. : Mr. Killeen wanted to know to where the Streets in the northeast would go if ex- tended. “To that cesspool?” he asked. Jail M { “To the or would they stop in the marsh?" . Tucker replied that thty would go to Trinidad, Hyattsville and Bladensburg. “Bladensburg?” queried Mr. Killeen. “That place has a history and a record. Let the streets go west where there is some- thing. Up there we have the President's house, the Chautauqua and bright prospects of the Methodist University.” President Frizzell referred to publications in The Star concerning the intentions of the Commissioners in relation to the expendi- ture of the appropriation, should it, be ob- tained. bd Several members participated in a spirited argument, and Mr. Killeen concluded by saying that there were but few laborers in the northwest and that as the laborers would have to be obtained from the north- east, the money would naturally make its way to the latter section. The resolution was amended and passed. cipal Lighting. Mr. Tucker then offered a resolution con- cerning the question of light, as follows: Whereas we deem the lighting of a city to be an absolute necessity; whereas expert- | ence at home and abroad has demonstrated | the fact that light can be, and is, furnished | to the public at a less cost by municipalities than by private companies, and whereas, we | believe that under the present system of | lighting in this city the public is recelving inferior and insufficient light and at an/| excessive cost, Therefore, be it resolved, that this associ- ation use its influence In favor of the en- actment of such a law by Congress as will enable the District, or the United States | government, to own plants (gas and electric lights) and furnish light, both for public and private uses. Resolved, That this association favors | such an Increase in the debt of the District | as may be necessary in carrying out the above proposition, as we believe it would be a paying investment to the Distriét by ma- | terially reducing the cost of street and other public lighting and that it would be to the | interests of the entire population. Mr. W. C. Dodge read a paper on the ques- tion, showing the advantages to be gained by municipal lighting. Mr. Killeen doubted the expediency of having the gas made by the government, | for he believed that private individuals could make it cheaper than the authorities. Mr. Dodge quoted the state of affairs which exists in Alexandria, where the city conducts its own gas works. “And only has one square of paved street where a sick lady can ride with any degree of ease and comfort,” remarked Mr. Kil- leen. The question was fully discussed, the water power at Great Falls being mentioned. The resolution of Mr. Tucker was finally adopted and the association adjourned, > — West Point-Annapolis Foot Ball Game.

Advt, i ac AMUSEMENTS, Albaugh’s—There is nothing new to be said of the Fencing Master, as it was seen at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House. It is a pretty and pleasing production. In its serious pretensions it reaches no sublime heights and in the comedy it is seldom more than mildly humorous. It is unquestionably a work of art. In arrang- ing his bouquet of melodies Mr. De Koven has culled with fine discrimination and blended with a clever appreciation of ef- fect. Mr. Smith also has displayed talents for selection in the libretto. The produc- tion has the advantage of an exceptional cast. The title role is enacted most grace- fully by Laura Schirmer-Mapleson. The music which falls to her portion of the per- formance is rendered in a manner that is only possible to one possessed both of deli- cate artistic sensibilities and musical cul- ture. Mr. Hubert Wilke and Miss Lily Post sing well, and Mr. Fred Solomon is funny. The opera is very handsomely staged and costumed. A large audience was present last night. New National Theater.—Rip Van Winkle was once more roused from his slumbers for the benefit of the Washington theater goers last night. And, as in the case of Washington Irving's quaint and familiar hero, the welcome was less enthusiastic than was to be expected. But, to employ the stereotyped phrase, the audience made up in enthusiasm what it may have lacked in numbers. Indeed, a journey to the play house in last night's storm was something that could be prompted only by the untir- ing devotion which many people show to- ward a player who has once succeeded in really pleasing them, but which few actors are so fortunate as to win. Mr. Jefferson is to be felicitated on having a character like Rip in_ his repertoire. It enables him to meet that often pathetic period, the twi- light of a stage career, with dignity to him- self and with satisfaction to the admirers which his efforts have won him. There is required of him neither a mimicry of the effervescence of youth nor the quick spon- taneity of a polished and elastic personal- ity. The demands are almost entirely in the direction of the quiet drollery and/ quaint pathos, which many years of pro- fessional existence in connection with this work have made almost second nature to Mr. Jefferson. The company was, perhaps, the least meritorious of any organized for the support of a reputable actor in a long time. In some cases the efforts of the act- ors did not fall entirely below the plane of ordinary ability, but, with the exception of Mr. Varrey, there was no one who stood in any likelihood of dimming the luster of the star performer or of jeopardizing the interests of the Jefferson contingent of the company upon salary days. At the Academy a laughter loving, lively crowd came out to see “Bob’’ Hilliard and Paul Arthur for the first time here in “The Nominee,” made known to Washington by Nat. Goodwin. It calls for nerve to under- take this play after Goodwin, but the young men have it, and the inimitable Nat. never made an audience laugh more enthusiastic- ally and energetically than Robert and Paul did last night. They are both funny, but different, and where one doesn’t make the lavgh the other does. The cast is in the main good. It certainly is as to Miss Olive | May, who is not only plump, piquant and pretty, but a charming actress, reminding one always of Rosina Vokes. Miss Athels- ton is a handsome young woman with not much to do in the play, and Mrs. Eberle is a mother-in-law to give a married man a cold, clammy chill down his back. Miss Ferrill is a tender ingenue, and Mr. Perry, who is her sweetheart (on the stage), is skillful at it. The play is preceded by “My Lady Help,” a bright bit, with Mr. Perry, Mr. Woodall and Miss May in the cast. The Imperial Austrian Band.—The enthu- siasm created by the first appearance of the Imperial Austrian Infantry Band on Sun- day night was continued at its concert last night. Although the weather was abom!ia- ble there was a splendid audience at Con- vention Hall, including nearly the entire diplomatic corps. The program was varied, and the audience was so enthusiastic that nearly every number was encored, and the concert, as was the case on Sunday night, lasted until nearly 11 o'clock. This band should be heard by every one. Its work is such as to command admiration, and Con- ductor Ziehrer imparts a portion of his own magnetism to his force, and the result is that the audiences are worked up to a high Herr Ziehrer is an ac- complished musician and composer, his waltzes particularly having the sensuous rhythmic swing that are so characteristic of Strauss’ work. At the concert tonight the program will be changed, and an opportuni- ty will be given to hear this excellent or- ganization in new selections. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—The patrons of Harris’ Bijou were called upon last night to pass judgment on a new soubrette and it was the unanimous verdict that Carrie Sweeney was a success. She has the com- bination of ability, good looks and a fine voice and in each of the half dozen char- acters In which she was cast showed mark- ed ability. The play was “The Pulse of New Yori under the direction of C. N. Bertram, a nielo-drama of intense interest. The scenery is good and the picture of the Brooklyn bridge flluminated, in the third act, is a choice piece of stage realism. Again tonight. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Kernan's ‘Theater was not large enough last night to accommodate the people who braved the elements for a glimpse at the ‘South Be- fore the War.” The play is known from Maine to California as one of the best va- riety entertainments before the public. The program is a long one, full of good things. A sketch of ante-bellum days opens the performance, introducing those sterling negro comedians, Billy Williams and Chas. Howard. Then come Katie Carter, the dancing wonder; the Beantown Quartette, and prize buck and wing dancing by a score of the genuine article. A beauty from Hawal!, Lo La Lauchmere, rendered some | popular selections and Ferry the Frog was excellent. Billy Williams was entertaining. The South's Premier 3 Quartettes were ex- cellent and the cake walk was a laughable finish to an enjoyable entertainment. Again tonight. Patti—The sale of seats for the only ap- pearance of Mme. Adalina Patti will begin at Proop’s music store tomorrow morning. The prices of seats are more advantageous than at any of the previous concerts of this great songstress, and the desire to hear her will undoubtedly be correspondingly increas- ed. Mme. Patti will be assisted by Mlle. Guerrina Fabbri, contralto; Miss Louise Engel, mezzo-soprano; Mr. Durward Lely, tenor; Sig. Antonio Galassi, baritone; Sig. Franco Novarra, basso, and a grand or- chestra, with Sig. Luigi Arditi, conductor. Sig. Mascheroni will be accompanist and stage director. The program will consist of a miscellaneous first vart, in which all will appear as soloists, Mme. Patt! having one number, “Faust” In costume, with Mme. Patti as Margherita, Mile. Fabbri as Siebel, Mr. Lely Faust, Sig. Novarra Mephistopheles and Miss Engel Martha. Mme. Patti has been fully as successful on her present tour as ever before, the critics in New York, Boston and Philadelphia asserting that her wonderful voice retains all its purity of tone and remarkable flexibility that has placed her at the head of vocalists of this genera- tion. A Day on the Midway.—Miss Janet Rich- ards gave her second lecture for the benefit of the National Homeopathic Hospital at Universalist Church last evening, her sub- ject being “A Day on the Midway.” It was entertaining and instructive, and she gave many amusing personal experiences in that attractive portion of the great fair. She presented an abundance of stereopticon views, some of which were handsomely col- ored, so as to give excellent effect. The Black Patti.—Mme. Sisieretta Jones, styled the Black Patti, will give a concert at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on M street on Thanksgiving night. Her reputa- tion is sufficlent to attract a large audi- ence, for she has justly been said to be the finest vocalist of her race. She will be as- sisted by good talent from New York, Phila- delphia and Washington. — WILL DIVIDE THE WORK. The Commissioners’ Idea of Giving Employment to the Needy. Capt. Powell, in conversation with a re- porter of The Star today, said it was not the policy of the Commissioners, if Con- gress approved their recommendation, to make an appropriation for the immediate grading and regulation of suburban streets so as to give employment to the poor la- borers, to expend the money entirely in the northwestern section. The appropriation would be equally divided among the several se It was not, he said, a scheme of tes to get their property improved. hat was preposterous. It was the idea of haritable man to give employment to the !poor laborers, who with the advent of a cold winter would be utterly helpless. Se The Epworth League. At a meeting of the board of control of the District Epworth League last evening it was stated that during the past year the gain in membership in the fifteen chapters was over 5, and over 40 for the junior league. It was decided to hold a mass meeting at Hamline Church Monday, De- cember 13, and then the third act of/ THE SECRET OF An Expert on the Subject Delivers a Lecture to Women. The announcement that there would be a lecture upon beauty was enough to draw in- to Metzerott’s Hall yesterday afternoon more women than could find seats. Stand- ing room was at a premium and there was hardly a man in the crowd. ‘The lecturer was Madame Yale. who calis herself a beauty expert. She preaches beauty as being the right and duty of every woman. Among her hearers were any num- ber of young women who might have stood }as models to illustrate the lecture. There | were also others who wanted beauty badly. | Madame Yale kept |for a quarter of an hour after the appoint ed time, but when she did appear the au- dience felt wll repaid, for she wore a stunning Greek gown of white clinging material, and gave evidence in her looks that she was: accustomed to practice what she preached. She owned up to forty-one years, though she did not look it, in order to show what an attractive appearance a woman of that age might present. She sald that she was getting younger and more beautiful every year, as a result of her attention to the rules of hygiene and beauty. The lecturer spoke of beauty culture as a branch of physical culture and one of the most important of all studies. a study that is too often neglected. Good health is the foundation of beauty, and a woman cannot look well if she does not feel well. There is no excuse. she said. for wrinkles, flabby flesh and the general look of old age if a woman is willing to take proper care of herself. Madame Yale showed her audience how to walk properly and what exercises to take to develop the various portions of the fe- male anatomy. During a short recess the orchestra played a mediey of popular airs. while Madame Yale went out to make a change of cos- tume. She returned clad in a stunning frock of pink silk with mammoth puffed sleeves, bare arms and neck. Then she went on to talk about the chances of wo- man in the business world. though she stated that she herself was not a woman’s rights woman. She believed in training up young girls so that if thev have to earn their own living they are capable of doing go, but a woman, she sald. cannot make BEAUTY. }looking. A pretty woman gets a dozen chances where a homely woman does not get one. —_— > HYATTSVILLE. ‘The residents of College Park are alarmed over the cases of reported hydrophobia that have occurred in that village. Shortly over three weeks ago Mr. J. L. Shipley, the man- ager of the Agricultural College farm, was bitten by his dog after it had been absent for a day. Mr. Shipley took the animal by the back of the neck and struck it, a punishment for stealing chickens, when it turned suddenly upon him and bit him on the arm. On the following day it bit his | eight-year-old son on the lip. It appears that the boy was not aware that the dog was mad, and turned it loose. The animal | then ran through the village, showing every | symptom of hydrophobia and biting every- thing that came within its reach. As wef as can be learned, three cows, four dogs and a goat were bitten by the dog. The cows were owned by Messrs. William Miller, Ernest Behrens and John Johnson, the dogs belonged to Will Carroll, Eugene Calvert, Piewell and Daniels, and the goat was the property of Mr. Isherwood. A number of citizens pursued the dog and it was finally shot, and the other dogs that it had bitten were quickly killed. The cows and the goat were chained on the property of their own- ers. The cows of Messrs. Miller and Beh- rens and the goat of Mr. Isherwood showed symptoms of hydrophobia on the fifteenth day after they were bitten and were shot. The cow of Mr. Johnson went mad on the twenty-first day after it was bitten and was also Killed. Mr, Shipley saw Dr. Everstield in regard to the wounds that he and his son had received and the doctor recommended that they be treated at the Pasteur Institute in New York. They went at once to that place, and returned home a few days ago with their wounds entirely healed, and the authorities of the instituté have assured them that they need not entertain any further fears of hydrophobia. It 1s stated that Mr. Shipley's dog caught the hydro- phobia from a bite given it by a dog belong. ing to a colored family residing near the Paint branch bridge on the turnpike. This family own five dogs, three of which have been bitten and are now chained. The peo- ple of College Park are afraid to go out at night without sticks or weapons of some kind, and dogs are now at a discount in that village. It appears, however, that all the dogs that were bitten, with the excep- tion of the three that have been chained, have been dispatched. | Golden Rule Lodge, No. 45, I. O. M., held | an interesting meeting at Mechanics’ Hall last evening: The first or mechanics’ degree was conferred upon Mr. George 8. Britt. An effort will be made to reorganize the | old Webster Debating Society. The marriage of Mr. Howard Keyworth and Miss Katie Coldenstroth, which oc- | curred in Baltimore on the 22d instant, and was published in The Star of yesterday, was quite a surprise to the people of this | neighborhood. Miss Cojdenstroth is a daugh- | ter of Mr. Geo. W. Coldenstroth, proprietor of the Pan Electric House of Bladensburg, ‘and is quite popular in that village. | Mr. Levi Alden, father of Mrs. H. 8S.

Scriba, formerly bank examiner | at New York city, committed suicide in San Francisco on Sunday. Mrs. Platt, his cis- ter-in-law, who lives in this city, says she | knows of no reason for the suicide, as Mr. Scriba was in perfect health and in good | financial circumstances. He was sixty-one years of age and in sound mind apparently. For the past three weeks he had been traveling about the country. Some time ago he was promised the presidency of one of the San Francisco banks, and that was probably the reason he had gone there.
