REGULAR OLD TIMES. The First Snow Storm of the Season and How It Was Received. Horses Slipped and Fell and Then Used Overshoes—The Boys and Girls Enjoyed It. Tcday Washington had the first snow {storm of the season. There was a flurry of snow several days ago, but that did not count. Today's storm bore all the genuine marks and evidently came directly down from headquarters. It was recognized at once as an old timer. It brought its own 1427 New York ave. latmosphere with it and people rejoiced or mourned according to their point of view. The drivers of horses who had gone out without having adopted the precaution of taking the animals where their shoes could be sharpened were not in a happy frame | led their horses slowly | ‘As the snow covered the pavements the latter became slippery and horses went of mind as th home. down with great ease and arose with cor- responding diffleulty. Horse overshoes soon became popular. “areties,” but that was due to their bulk. They were simply straw wrapped about the hoofs with bagging and enabled the horses to move along with some degree of speed. As the animals are not accustomed to wear overshoes, even in bad weather, they look- ed upon the device with some degree of sus- ter and seemed to rather enjoy the change. ‘The Horse Shoe Store The blacksmiths were kept busy and did a rushing business all day. As far as prac- ticable horses were retired for the day and their duties postponed until better weather. But the great majority of horses | were out as usual. There were, of course, a@ great many horses down on the pave- ment during the day and sometimes travel Was interfered with. The boys and girls liked the snow and there was a rush for the celiars and the attics to get out the sleds.

Tie Columbia Turn-Verein, exhibitions last aignt at Natioral Rifles’ armory, before-a large and appreciative audience. The program was a very novel one, including feats by the senior and jun- ior members of the Verein, as follow: Drill in calisthenics, by a class of twenty four boys; exercises on parallel bars, and vaulting the horse and buck, by the class of boys; a wand drill, with heavy steel wands, by the senior members; dumb bell exercises, by the class of boys, after which /came an address by Mr. H. H. Bergmann, a member of the Verein, He delivered his address in the German language, and told of the excellent object the organization has in| view—that of physically training and de- veioping its members, of the intense pride with which the pareats of the young ath- letes must observe the healthy appearance of their children and the fine exhibition they were then giving on the stage; of the excellent progress made by the young !a- dies’ classes, ui lastly, praising the cease- less eNorts with which Prof. J. Duhring had instructed the classes and prepared them for the evening's entértainment. After Mr. Bergmann’s talk, the senior members gave a very difficult exhibition of vaulting the horse; then followed gymnastic games and pyramids by the younger classes, after which came the principal event of the even- jing, the parallel bar performance by the active members. These exercises were of In form they suggested fall each year with about the same quantity and quality and human crit- is no question that snow brings for colder weather marks its advent, and then there As the aspect of nature a German athletic association, with a very large mem- bership in this city, gave another of their’ | very popular and entertaining gymnastic AMUSEMENTS, Patti at Albaugh's.—The audience that |filled Albaugh’s Opera House last night paid tribute to genius. It was one woman's matchless voice that all went to hear. Her associates were considered as simply the setting to a brilliant jewel. The opening number by the orchestra was not so satis- fying as it might have been, ard, in fact, | the crchestra was the weakest part of the program It was not as full or as well balanced as it should have been for the work it was called upon to perform. Sig. | Novara’s aria from “Nabucco” was sung with artistic gaste as was also Mlle. Fab- bri’s florid air from “Orpheus and Eury dice,” although the latter is a series of py- rotechnics and these in a coatralto or mezzo soprano, unless by an artist of phenomenal as Schalchi was, are not Very at- tractive. The audience was wildly interesi- ed in the first two vocal numbers, but when Mr. Lely, the English tenor, had finished his first number, the applause was emphatic and he received a most enthusiatic enzore. | His voice is a lyric tenor of gocd but not remarkable range and he sings ballads wita much expression. Porhaps th were some who would have been more pleased had Patti sung some other selection than Rossiui’s “Una Voce Poco Fa,” but she sang it as no other ever did. It is a piece of musical embroidery of rich and rarely delicate fiber and it, was given with all the brilliancy and fnish that it demanded. There were cadenzas that Rossini had written in especially for Patti and that she alone could perfectly execute. The applause at its conclusion was vociferous and enthusiastic and after bowing her acknowledgments a number of times she sang a secenade by Tosti that was an exquisile melody and was so beauti- fully sung that another encore was de- manded and she gave the familiar “Home, Sweet Home” with a beauty of tone and fervor of expression that she only can im- |part to that wonderful ballad. Sig. Ga- [lassi still retains excellent control of his tine baritone voice and as the audience had now warmed up decidedly his song from “La Giaconda” was ercered and he Save the familiar “Figaro Qua, Figaro La” | with good intonation and spirit. i ‘The second part of tne program consisted | of the third act of “Faust,” with costumes | and scenery. Patti's voice added new) beauty to Gounod’s score, for it is all within | her present range, and her rich velvet-like | tones gave an interpretation to the “King! of ‘Thuie" and the “Jewel Song” that had never before been heard except by those} who had heard Patti in the whole opera, It is idle to say that Patti's voice is capable | of the same work that it was when she first stariled the world by her wonderful | singing, but within its present compass it | the sare full rich melody that placed | |her above every other singer, and its flexi-| ‘bility and her perfect method enable her to still hold her place as the queen of song. Mr. Lely's “Faust” was not as satisfactory | Sig. Novara made | * but that was ex-| as his concert numt @ good “Mephistophiles, | |pected, as he has been seen in the part in |its intirety. Altogether the immense audi- | jence was evidently satisfied with the con-| i and are ready for another Patti fare- | | we National Theater.—There is a welcome al- | ways ready for Rosina Vokes. Not only is she an actress of most charming manners, |but she appeais to intellectual appreciation, | {not only by the character of the plays she |presents and the company which surrounds, | but by the womanly grace which she main-! tains through the most sprightly and ani-{ [mated portions of her performances, Her ents are not alone for comedy; the pretty |minor chords of human sentiment she [touches most deftly. Thé program last night opened with “Sunset,"" by Jerome K. Jerome, a very couching and prettily pre- sented bit of pathos. In “Crocodile ‘Tears’ the bounding animal spirits of M. Marius | were heartily enjoyed, and the smooth and | Well-considered performances of the other members of the cast won appreciation. The jpiece de resistance of the bill was Miss Mollie Seweil’s fantasy in comedy, “Maid |Marian.” In this play Miss Rosina Vokes jis seen at her best, and, while she was suf- fering from a cold, the vivacious grace with which she presented everything which talls to her portion of the performance, whether it be comedy or the old-time dances which she revives so picturesquely, was | quite sufficient to disprove reports of illness | which had been circulated concerning her. Academy.—At the Academy last night a good house w present to see James 10’ Neill | in his well-known play, “Monte | Cristo, with which he has been ‘identified so long, and of which he has made such a financial and artistic success. It is scarcely necessary to speak of Mr. O'Neill's work in the part of Edmund Dantes; he follows its changes from youth to age gracefully and naturally, and though there is much in it which appeals to the galleries, he does not forget that he is an artist. Mr. O'Neill is supported by Mr. Geo. A. D. Johnson, Mr. Pascoe, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Smith, Mr. Turner, Mr. Hallett, Miss Shortwell, Miss Curran and others, and it is in the main good, but not especially noteworthy. The scenery is a feature of the play. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—There was stand- ing room only at the Bijou last night. And no wonder, for, by special arrangement, the management was enabled to present Mr. Frank Mayo, the original Davy Crock- ett of the stage. Every school boy knows the story of Davy Crockett, that hardy frontiersman whose deeds of daring have been sung in rhyme. The play which is presented this week embodies some of his! famous deeds, fashioned into an in | which all farmers and others interested are invited. The following program has been | arranged: Address of welcome, James S.

The Participants. Those constituting the senior class were Messrs. Wiesbaden, Spiess, Eckstein, Kah- ler, Ashinger, Reesch, Herrler, Zoll, Zan- tiny, Wind, Gabriel, Wolf, Krout, Schroot and Paul, while the following made up the junior class: Masters Schnelder, Willard, Michaels, Pohlers, Teede, Schmidt, Willie and Harry Scharr, Hoffmann, Miller, Jaina, Walldecker, August, Howard and Henry Duehlings, Walter and Frank Hamilton, Mundenhein, Ackerman, Ontrich and Led- erer. Henry Paul of the active class is aged seventy-eight years, and went through the exercises with the same ease and reg- ularity as the younger members of the class. In addition to the athletic program the commitiees had made preparations for a grand ball, an informal affair, present at which were representatives of ‘well-known German families, besides numbers of young ladies and gentlemen, eager for the first dance of the winter season. The music was furnished by a first-class orchestra, under the direction of Prof. Linden. The committees having the affair in charge were: Reception, Messrs. Schubert, Bergmann and Dietrich; hall, Messrs. Bosse. Schultze, Apfeid, Hoffmann and Gabriel: entertainment, Blatzheim, Bosse, Witte, Hannemann and Eckstein; floor, Messrs. Duhring, Spier, Eckstein, Lerch and Han- sen. —— Mr. Wade's Death. Rev. William A.

Again tonight. “German Military Bands.”—The first con- | cert by these famous German infantry ana cavalry bands will be given at the Conven- tion Hall tonight. Never in the history has band concerts aroused so much interest and enthusiasm as the three concerts that are to be given here by these bands. A | special invitation has been extended and accepted by the diplomatic corps through the German embassy to attend tonight's concert. The German embassy will receive | serenade by both bands today between 1 and 2 o'clock. The German ambassador ‘has also signified his intention of being present tonight. From present indications it looks as though Convention Hall will have big, fashionable and brilliant attend- ances at each of the concerts of the Ger- man bands. The bands arrived this morn- ing via the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and were received by some of Washing- ton’s most prominent Germans, who will | undoubtedly do all possible to make their visit here pleasant, as they only give one |more concert after the three here before |departing for Europe.

HAD NIN And Meant to Protect Them Even by Shooting. “If you had killed that man you would, have gone to prison for life, or to the gal- lows.” These were the words uttered by Judge Miller this morning to a colored man, named James Butler, against whom there was a charge of threats of personal | violence. W. P. Gray, formerly captain of | one of the colored military organizations, appeared as complainant. “Ssutler came to my place of business yes- terday and threatened to kill me on sight, said Capt. Gray. “He said he intended to shoot me.” “Have you ever had any trouble with him ‘0, sir.” “But you know what the trouble was?” “Yes, sir.” ‘About a woman?” Yes, sir. He accused me of going with his daughter, and I was never with her in my life.” Butler then teld his story of the affair. “IT am the father of nine children,” he proper manner. Two weeks ago he -was locked in a house with my daughter and I told her about it. Gray is a married man and I told her about her going with him. “Did you see him in the house with your », sir; but my wife and children did y told me about it. He was drinking yesterday and was un- der the influence of liquor when he called to see Gra He denied that he even owned scare him “I have nine children,” he repeated, ‘and it is my duty to protect them.” “And it ts my duty to protect both you and Gray,” added the judge. “You will have to give real estate security in the sum of $500 or go to jail for sixty days.” oo GARBAGE COMPLAINTS. They Are Rapidly Increasing Since the Cessation of Inspection. Since the house-to-house inspection and the garbage inspectors were dropped from the rolls of the health departinent, and the garbage plant was destroyed, the garbage wagons have failed to make their regular responses required by the contract, and the result is that citizens are complaining. When the garbage inspector was on duty, the complaints were reduced to a minimum, the average being about eight a day. But this week the citizens have been complain- ‘ng. From the low tigure above named the daily average increased to a dozen, and then to fifteen. Today there were twenty- even complaints recorded. Some persons who compiained stated that the wagon had not called for one, two, and some as long as three weeks. The Emergency Hospital was recorded as a complainant, and this complaint was marked “important.” The metailic receptacles used by citizens are, as a rule, not very large, and they will not hold the accumulation of garbage from the kitchen for several weeks. The complaints were referred to the con- tractor. fe ee Receiver Appointed. Joseph D. Small and ten others have, by Mr. A. H. Taylor, filed a bill against the New National Brick Company for the ap- pointment of a receiver, &c. With the ex- ception of Small the complainants are resi- dents of Baltimore and appear as creditors and stockholders, and the bill states that the defendant is organized under the laws of Virginia, that the works are at Waterloo, Va., and a branch office in this city, owns eight acres of land with plant, and $10,000 is in book accounts, the capital is $100,000 in shares of $100, of which Small owns 100, and the company is now insolvent, and on | November 24 the directors recognized the propriety of this proceeding. The defendant filed answer consenting to the appointment of a receiver and Justice Hagner, on hear- ing the case, made an order appointing Leander Z. Doll receiver, fixing his bond at $10,000, oo Women's Press Association. A select symposium will be given at 1101 K street northwest on Thursday evening, December under the auspices of the Woman's National Press Association. There will be distinguished speakers, excellent music and food for the inner man as well. ee A Portrait of ‘the Late Mr. Meigs.
