The Maryland Democratic Club met at its hall, #04 Pennsylvania avenue, last even- img and elected the following ofticers*to serve for the ensuing year: C.C.Lancaster, president; J. K. Mangum and M. ¥. Peake, vice presidents; J. V. Camalier and J. T. Loveless, recording secretaries; L. ¥. Sutor and C. C. Clark, financial and corresponding ; 1. ¥. Craycroft, treasurer, and it Lancaster, in describing the work done by the club, stated that in 1848 the club raised 31,355 for tne Maryland state democratic committee, uv in 1890 for the election of Congressman Barnes Comp- tom, and $1,344 im 1s¥z for the Maryland democracy and the national ticket. The club decided to hold a meeting every Monday evening throughout the wincer. After adjournment of the club last evening the members were entertained by President Lancaster. as Death of Philip Welch. Mr. Philip Sherwood Weich died at his home, 05 Massachusetts avenue, yesterday afternoon in the twenty-ninth year of his age. Mr. Welch was a son of Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Welch, and some time ago was mar- Fied to Miss Mabel Miner, who survives nim. For some time past he had been suffering from consumption. For several years Mr. Welch had been connected with nis brother im the real estate business. Previous to going into that business, however, he w: @n operator in the fire alarm telegraph and police telephone service of the District, end Was recognized as one of the most -xpert and effictent operators ever employed in that ¢apacity. Arrangements for the funeral will be announced later. 2 Talking or Hawait. Addresses on the situation in Hawai! were Made at the meeting of the Presbyterian Ministers’ Assoctation which was held yes- terday in the parlors of the Arlington. Dr. Thomas L. Gulick and his brother and Rev. Mr. Emerson of Hawall were present and gave their version of the recent revolution, Which does not agree with the official report of Mr. Biount. A very full statement of the events of the revolution was given in the interview with Rev. Mr. Emerson recently published in The Star. —__—<—__. Kentucky Millers Complain. ‘The railroad commissioner of Kentucky has Made complaint to the interstate commerce | commissioners that the Louisville and Nash- ville and Chesapeake and Onto raiiroad com- panies disc-iminate in rates on mill products against Frankfort millers in the interests of millers at Louisville. The complaint further alleges that shipments of mil! products from Louisville to points in the Virginias pass through Frankfovt, and that the lesser charge from Loutsville than from Frankfort constitutes a violation of the long and short haul clause. | The Kindergarten Club. An interesting meeting of the Kindergar- ten Club of All Souls’ Church was held last evening in the lecture room of the church, 14th and L streets. Rev. Dr. Shippen de- livered an address of welcome and address- es were made by Prof. U. S. J. Dunbar and V. D. Collins. Miss Belle Herrig read a Paper.

The Plan on Which ¢ Work ts Car- ried on—A Suggested Bureau of Charities, Applications for assistance are on the increase, and the police in some sections are being kept busy making investigations, in order to determine whether or not they are worthy. Some few contributions have been received, food and clothing, as well as some fuel, being among the articles do- nated. Each case in which assistance is asked is thoroughly investigated by the officer on the beat upon which the applicant re- sides, in order to make certain that the contributions go in the right direction and | not to persons who are able to get along without such assistance. Blanks are kept at the police station, Which are filled out and given to poor per- sons. ‘These orders for provisions are given on various grocery stores, the proprietors of which furnish groceries to the amount mentioned in the order. The Orders Give Ordinarily the orders are for $1.50 worth of groceries. This order is presented by the person as- sisted, whose signature is written on the back of it as a receipt for the goods. Following is a sample of the ordinary $1.50 order: Potatoes 2 ‘The order containing the signature of the person assisted and a list of goods furnish- ed is returned to the police Heutenant, and he turns it in to the chief clerk, who has charge of the charity fund. Mr. Sylvester's Pla: Chief Clerk Sylvester favors a radical change in the manner of aiding the poor this winter, as he thinks every precaution should be taken against imposition by per- sens asking for aid. He favors the estab- lishment of a bureau of charities, to be con- ducted by the Commissioners or by some gcod citizens appointed by them to act. ‘The funds of the various charity organiza- ticns, he thinks, should be disposed of by such a bureau, the orders or checks to be signed and countersigned by members of the bureau. With such a disposition of the funds and with police assistance, Mr. Syl- vester says, it would be impossible for im- postors to get much of the fund. Should there be such a concentration of forces, he said, the police would investigate every case and report whether or not the appli- cant should be assisted, and, if so, to what extent. As a rule the police are acquainted with persons on their beats, and often they could tell of the merits of the applicant as soon as the application should be re- ferred to them. In this way, Mr. Sylvester thinks, the work of determining upon the merits of the case would be quicker and more effective. This, he thinks, would also | prevent several persons of the same family from going to the various organizations and receiving more than their share of what is intended for the persons in want, and would result in an equal distribution. Receiving Donations. The police leutenants are recciving what donations are being made, and the po- lice stations are made headquarters for the various sections. In South Washington, where there are so many colored families living in rooms and small shanties, the ap- plications are more numerous than in other sections. During the short cold spells many families tco, the applications for food and clothing also increase. —_——_—_ THE MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE EX- TENSION, Waiting for Congress to Grant the Right of Way Through the Observa. tory Gro Property owners along the line of Mass chusetts avenue extended are daily inquir- ing why it is the Commissioners are not working on the grading of said avenue, $1,000 was allowed in the last appropriation bill for the purpose. Upon inquiry it seems the Commissioners are waiting for authority from Cong: to extend the avenue through the naval ob- servatory grounds. In the original draft cf the appropriation bill the Commissioners in- serted a provision authorizing them to ex- tend the street through the observatory grounds, but this provision was stricken out. When the Commissioners proposed to commence work on Massachusetts avenue, the Secretary of the Navy, who has char of the naval observatory grounds, was 4 plied to for permission to run the line ofthe street through the grounds. The Secrétary, however, did fon believe he had authority to grant the desired permission, and refecRyd the Commissioners to Congress for specific authority. Accordingly, they prepared a joint resolution, which ‘was introduced in Congress, covering the matter, and the same is still pending. Capt. Powell, the Engineer Commissioner, informed a reporter of The Star that his department would be ready to begin work as soon as the resolution was passed. ——— A Fratern: v it. Last evening a delegation of the members of the Young Men’s Christian Society con- nected with Mount Vernon Place M. E. Church South went over to Alexandria, | Va., to pay a fraternal visit to a similar so- ciety there in their church, and were most hospitably received. The exercises were held in the large audience room of the church, and there was a fine attendance, particularly of the ladies, who take a deep interest in the movement. The exercises of the evening were duly announced by Mr. Kemp, cne of the Alexandria members. Prayer was offered by Rev. T. E. Carson, pastor, who responded also in a well-worded and fitting address, also welcoming those from this city amongst them. Music and singing by the church choir was rendered in the interval. Mr. W. W. Millan, president of the Mt. Vernon Society, was introduced and read a carefully prepared paper in lieu of an address, giving an interesting account of this society from its first inception in 1886 up to the present time—what it had done and 1s still doing—as a valuable auxil- fary in church work. This received the closest attention from all. Mr. Millan was followed by Mr. F. B. Riddleberger and Chas. D. Bulla of this city in highly inter- esting and profitable talks. The closing ad- dress of the evening was made by Mr. Good- | son, president of the Alexandria society, who thanked those from Washington for their presence. The closing hymn, “‘Blest Be the Tie That Binds,” was sung and all were dismissed. A social feature wi an event of the evening, and gre: joyed. ——_.—— Mass Meeting of Methodist Young People. At a meeting last night of the board of control of the Epworth League arrange- ments for the mass meeting of Methodist young people, to be held at Hamline Church mext Monday night, were completed. The Program decided upon is as follow: chorus, District Epworth League cho! singing, congregation; 3, invocation, H. R. Naylor, D.D., presiding elder; 4, ing, congregation; 5, address of ir fev) ings! ome, E. Church; 6, response, Prof. C. M congregation; 8, reports, presidents ip a Prof. W. B. Muntivtte Dr. W. E.

In the Criminal Court, Justice McComas’ division, yesterday, the case of Charles McGowan, charged with obtaining money by false pretenses, was taken up for trial, Mr. Taggart for the government and Mr. Joseph Shillington for the defense. It is alleged that by false pretenses in a real estate transa n he obtained $2,000 from elsey. fer for want of fuel, and then, | AMUSEMENTS. Boston Symphony Orchestra.—The usual | large and intelligent audience greeted the | Boston Symphony Orchestra at its second concert this season at Metzerott’s Hall last night. There is no organization that has a stronger hold upon the music-loving | people of this community than this orches- | tra and there is no similar body in the world | that does better work. The new conductor, | Mr. Pauer, confirmed the favorable impres- | Sion he made at his first appearance, and, | although some of his readings were new, | they were thoroughly satisfactory. His |program last night was enjoyable, the | Goetz Symphony,being heard here for the first time and the other numbers being familiar friends. The soloist of the even- ing was Mr. Franz Kneisel, the concert master of the orchestra, who played the first movement of Beethoven's concerto for | violin in D major in a masterly manner. | There are few violinists of the present day who can properly interpret Beethoven, but | Mr. Kneisel was evidently in full sympa- | thy with the composer and his work was |rewarded by prolonged applause. Indeed, the audience were anxious for more, but the rule against encores was not broken. Albaugh’s.—A good big house full of peo- ple at Albaugh’s last night tripped nervous- | ly along “The Edge of Society,” at one time | Wholly absorbed, at another inclined to up- | plause and often on tension, apprehensive of what might be said next. As is generally | known, “The Edge of Society” is one of the adaptations from Dumas’ play “Demi Monde,"’other s of which are the “Crust,” the “Fringe,” &c., of society, all of them more or less Frenchy. Last year it wag the | “Crust,” in which the characters are less French than in ihe present form. Miss Carrie Turner, who created the part of La Baronne Suzanne, by the way, is well fitted for the part in figure and temperament, and she pays it with strong and varying feeling, | always artistic. Her gowns are unusually | handsome and she becomes them well. Mr. | Harry Saint Maur as Olivier is well suited | for playing a society character and one would scarcely imagine that Olivier was not the actual man. Mr. Richman was rather a robust lover, but he has a sympathetic voice and simulates the emotions powerful- ly. A bad character, charmingly and viva- ciously done and beautifully gown2d, was the Valentine de Santis of Miss Lillian Lawrence, whom Washingtonians delighted in last summer. Miss Chamblin’s Marcello was a pretty girlish character. In all re- spects “The Edge of Society” {s most satt factorily handled and the result {s an artis! ic. success, the more interesting because of the delicacy of the material used. | New National Theater.—“In Mizzoura,” produced at the National Theater by Na C. Goodwin last night, fulfilled all the | promises that were made for star, play and company. The highest ideals have been consistently pursued. Mr. Augustus Tho- mas has constructed a play which is not only powerful in its interest, but national in its plot and life-like in its character. He has shown there is an abundance of mate- rial fo> the development of a distinctly American drama, and that modern life 1s | fertile in romance if the proper spirit and | intelligence can be brought to bear on its development. The performance of Mr. | Goodwin is a delightful one. As a comedian he ranks second to none, and with the un- |rest that characterizes true ability in any | direction he has pevsistently striven to im- | Prove upon genuine success. As a laugh | maker upon the burlesque boards he was without a peer, and as a comedian in strict- | ly legitimate lines he ranks with the high- lest. In his present performance he inter- prets not merely the lighter phases of emo- tion, but he reaches into the depths of the human heart and brings forth treasures of sentiment. One of the things most to the | credit of Mr. Goodwin is the even excellence of the cast which supports him. There is no overshadowing and no forcing to the front. Each member is playing the part for the best there is in it, and in every instance the work has that evidence of personal en-. | thusiasm which somehow gives an impres- |sion that the different performers feel the presence of a critical appreciation of en- deavors that tend to elevate the character of the performance, not simply as a vehicle | for the display of Mr. Goodwin, but as a | whole. It is most gratifying to see a star ambitious for the general artistic character of his performance as well for his personal |eareer. Burr Mcintosh is excellent in a | strong character picture and, in fact, as has been intimated, each player gives a most satisfactory performance. There is scenic realism, too, and of so excellent a kind that ni retains a subordinate though important place in the impressions of “In Mizzoura” the auditor carries away. The audience was enthusiastic in its applause, and Mr. Goodwin was called before the curtain sev- eral times. At the end of the third act he made a neat little speech referring to the development of the American drama, and | paying a high tribute to the author of his | play. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—Two-and-a-half hours of rollicking fun with a score of first (class specialties constituted ‘Finnegan's Ball” as performed at the Bijou last night. it might be well to add, however, that the play is a clever comedy, with Murray and |Mack in the leading parts.. The cast is a ,good one and the play one long laugh. | Among the specialties are a ribbon dance, |a new departure in Washington; a roaring boxing match, medleys, songs in costume, fancy dances, and last, but not least, the Dublin kiss dance, which is very clever. |Of course there is no plot, but that is not considered. The house was crowded and a big busin for the week is looked for. Again toaight. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—In Rose Hill's | English Folly Company, Manager Kernan has secured a sterling attraction for the week. The specialties are all new and the burlesque worth seeing. The Washburn | Sisters, after a two years’ absence, sing several songs in their old charming man- ner, and are the features. Miss Lillian leads the burlesque as Godfrey Push and | Scored a decided hit. Both have improved wonderfully since last they were here. The | other specialties are Morton and Eckhoff, |a funny musical pair; Daly and Lee, the Irish warblers; Vedder Sisters, the novelty |dancers; Julia Kelly, the only lady bone | soloist, ‘and E. J. Holland, who performs | Startling feats on the trapeze. All in all | the show is one of the best on the road. Again tonight. | —_—_.__. | High School Notes. | The drills which will be presented Thurs- day and Friday evenings by companies ¥ |and Z, respectively, are creating a vast amount of excitement at the Eastern. Com- pany Y -has selected red as the company color and company Z old gold. The executive committee of the class of “3 met last night at the residence of Miss Muir, 512 3d street northwest. Owing to the rehearsals which are being carried on at the Eastern, the regular ex- ercises of the boys’ athletic classes have been suspended for this week. A dress rehearsal of the features on the program will be held at the Eastern to- morrow evening. The programs are now in press. | The assignment of military instructors at | the separate schools yesterday afternoon were as follows: Maj. Ross at the Central; Col. Reichelderfer, Business; Col. Skinner, Western, and Lieut. Col. Adams, Eastern. The Central will not give an evening en- tertainment, as the other schools will do, but will have short exercises at 11 o'clock on_ the morning of the 22d. ‘The Senior Club has elected the following | officers: Hanford, president; Miss Bogg, secretary; Morris, corresponding secretary. One hundred and nineteen pupils heard Dr. Belt's interesting lecture at the night High School last night on the “Ear.” It was further announced last night that the school would be formally closed on Friday evening for the holidays, and would reopen January 2. es Violations of the Pharmacy Law. To the Editor of The Bvening Star: | Im your issue of the llth instant I see |you have published a valuable article in regard to the “pharmacy law.” If there is one thing that ought to be looked into it certainly is the law “To regu- late the practice of pharmacy in the Dis- trict of Columbia,” which is daily being vio- lated by some of our well-known druggists. | It is a crime for a man to stand behind a counter and dispense something which he knows very little, if anything, about, for should he have the technical knowledge to fill such a position he could appear before the board and register. The lives of the public are in the hands of a pharmacist many times in a day and the slightest error may mean instant death If there ever was a wrong committed it is in allowing some mere boy to prepare a prescription so that the druggist may add a large amount to his bank account, and never for once think of the lives he is en- dangering by allowing an unskilled clerk to put up a prescription. ‘ It is the duty of the board of pharmaty to prosecute all oifenders, and they should do so regardless of feeling and friendship. Let the registered clerks form an associa~ tion and prosecute all offenders, as the pharmacy board fails to do so, and ral: ourselves to the confidence of the pubiic. By so doing we will have less unqualified clerks and can hold ourselves above the level we have traveled upon for so long a | time. A REGISTERED CLERK. FOR THE DISTRICT POOR. The Committee in Charge of the Con- cert Greatly Encouraged. ‘The representatives of The Star, Post and News, who have charge of the arrangements for the concert to be given by the Marine | Band for the benefit of the poor of the Dis- trict at Convention Hall on the 20th instant, feel greatly encouraged in their work thus | far. The printing is well under way and the tickets will be ready for distribution tomorrow. Mr. Darby will print 200 post- | ers and all the tickets, and Mr. L. Moxley has agreed to do the posting. Marshall Cushing of the Capital Publishing Com- | pany has volunteered to print the programs. Several prizes have been donated to be given to the policemen and firemen selling 'the greatest number of tickets. Galt and | Brothers have given a silver watch of the best make; Mr. J. Karr has also given a silver hunting-case watch, stem winder, and such as many policemen are anxious to | wear. Mr. Salvatore Desio offers a hand- some piece of silver. Harris & Company tender a gentieman’s gold locket with a , diamond, and Messrs. Harris & Shafer ten- |der a handsome silver dinner castor, with cut-glass ornaments. Others are yet to be |heard from. These prizes will incite the men to unusual effort, and it is believed | that at least 10,000 tickets will be sold. Prof. Fanciulli says that if the attendance | is so great that the hall cannot hold it, the | band will give a second concert so that all who purchase tickets may be sure of hear- | ing the concert. Thus far the committee has not incurred a | cent of expense and it is hoped that the en- | tire concert may be carried out without any ‘expenditure, so that the full amount of money received may be turned over for dis- ; tribution. Every one upon whom the committee has waited has enteréd into the movement in the "most hearty manner. All recognized the fact that owing to the hard times the cases of destitution and suffering would be far more numerous this winter than for many years and that therefore there would be greater demands upon charity funds and upon those who are able to bestow alms. They also appreciated the good work that has been done by the police in alleviating distress from the meager fund at their dis- | posal and were willing to co-operate in any | scheme that would add to that fund and ex- tend the usefulness of the force in the direc- tion of charity. —_> Officers Elected.
