Spiritualists Hold an All-Day Session Yesterday. The Washington Society of Spiritualists celebrated the national jubilee yesterday with an all-day program at Metzerott Hall. President Milan C. Edson was in the chair. The exercises were begun at 11 o'clock. They were opened by prayer, and an invo- cation was delivered by Mrs. A. M. Glading, the trance speaker. President Edson fol- jowed in a few remarks. Mr. Henry M. Higby also spoke. A poem, said to be sug- gested by spirit control, was recited by Misses Pearl Edson, Daisy Rowland, Stella Steinberg and Rosie and Fan- nie Smith. Other songs and _ recita- tons followed. Little Frida Julian Nobbe was “dedicated."" Homer Alte- mus contributed a solo, and the contrib- uters to the children’s program were Miss Fannie Smith, Master Willie Schmidt, Mas- tre Albert Willis, Miss Rose Smith, Miss Emma Steinberg and Miss Stella Steinberg. H. T. Barrett, president of the National Association of New York state, spoke, and Miss Della Brian gave “tests.” At last night’s session there was a “dedi- cation” of the infant daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Blackiston, and music by Mr. Altemu: Miss Minnie Roem, Mr. Julius Burnham, Mr. Schultz, Mr. Berry and Mr. Theodore Urban.

They farm out the territory to suit their conven- fence, and charge us what they please,” and yet, bad as is their condition, they pay one company but $12 a year for street gas lamps, burning 3,820 hours, another company $12.50,2or $13.04 for $4,000 hours,and the third company $17.50, while here in the District we pay $21.50 per lamp!

' Senate Bill in Regard to Sealer of Weights and Measures. Penalties for False Measures—Selling Coal and the Necessary Certificates ad Frait. —Vegetables Senator McMillan today introduced in the Senate the much discussed bill reorganizing the office of the sealer of weights and measures for the District of Columbia. The bill presented by the Senator varies con- siderably from that originally introduced in the Senate and also from that recently passed by the House. It fixes the salary of the sealer at $2,000 and the assistant sealer at $1,200. It directs the Commissioners to furnish the sealer with an office, a wagon and a laborer when necessary, and sets forth the methods by which the weights and measures of the District shall be tested at intervals and apprcved or condemned by means of a stamp. No fees are to be ex- agted for these examirations. A record is to be kept by the sealer of the names of the men whose scales or measures he has in- spected, together with the number and size of them and the result of the inspection. ‘This book shall always be open to the ac- commodation of the public. Selling in Measures. Section 4 of the bill provides that no per- son shall sell or offer for sale in any mar- ket or in the public street or alleys of the District any fruits, vegetables or berries in crates, baskets or other measures, or any butter in prints or ice or coal at or for a sreater measure or weight than the true weight or measure thereof, and all such materials, excepting vegetables, sold by the head or boxes, all weighed or measured by scales, weights or meusures, bearing the official stamp of the sealer. Poultry may be offered for sale in other manner than by weight. The bill fixes the penalty for failure or re- fusal to exhibit weights and measures to the sealer at the fine of $100 and the cost of | prosecution, and the court may make a further sentence imprisoning the offender in the District jail until the fine shall be paid, for not to exe six months. This penalty also applies to the case of people selling goods by other measures than those that have been inspected by the sealer. Regarding Coal. Section 6 of the bill provides that no per- son shall sell or deliver any coal within the lmits of the District unless there shall be delivered to the driver of the wagon a cer- tificate, signed by the person selling this | coal, showing its weight, the weight of the wagon and the total weight of the coal and wagon and the name of the purchaser. No person in charge of a wagon used in de- livering coal shall neglect or refuse to ex- hibit such a certificate to the sealer or as- | sistant sealer or to any person designated by them or to the purchaser of the coal. | When these officers or the purchaser shall demand that the weight shown by the cer- tificate be verified, the driver is command- ed by the bill to take the wagon to some public scale cr to any private scale, the owner of which may consent to such use, and shall there verify the weight and re- | turn after delivery of the coal to the same scale and verify the weight of the wagon. Section 8 requires “It shall be the duty of the sealer of weights and measures to} inspect or cause to be inspected and tested the weight of coal sold or delivered as aforesaid, within the District of Columbia, | and to take the proceedings necessary to enforce the provisions of this act.” Section 9 provides that any violation of sections 6, 7 and 8, or attempts to deliver coal of less weight than set down in the | certificate, shall be punished not to exceed $100 and costs, or with imprisonment in the District jail not to exceed six months, un- til the fine Is paid. These provisions relating to coal are all new with this bill. They are the result of | much careful study on the part of Senator McMillan of the coal trade of the city. —_—_ AN ALLEGED VIOLATION. The Federation of Labor Comp! Non-Enforcement of a Law. As the result of an investigation asked for by the local committee of the Federation of Labor, it is understood that District Attor- ney Birney will present to the grand jury the case of Thomas Banks, a subcontractor on the Easby Point sewer, who, it is alleged, has violated the provisions of the eight-hour law by working his men more than eight hours daily. The Cranford Company, it is stated, has the contract for the construction of the sewer, a District work, and to Banks grant- ed a contract for driving the necessary piles and for laying the flooring over the piles south of the old naval observatory. in per- forming this work, it is alleged, Banks worked his men more than eight hours a day, and, it is claimed, that the work is one on which the law prohibits more than eight hours’ labor on any one calendar day by a mechanic or laborer. ‘Ihe law was passed in August, 1802, and prohibits any otticer, agent or employe of the United States gov- ernment, or of the District of Columbia, or any contractor or subcontractor, from work- ing any mechanic or laborer on any work of the government, or District, more than eight hours on any calendar day, unless in case of extraordinary emergency, and pro- vides a penalty of a fine of not more than 31,000, or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both. There have been, it 1s said, two prosecu- tions under the act in question. One was a case in Mobile, Ala., where a man who was building a barge for the government em- ployed his men on the work more than eight hours a day. But the court held that, while the barge was being built for the government, it did not become the property of the government until after it had been duly inspected and accepted by the govern- ment, and the complained-of employment was not therefore upon government work. And a similar decision was rendered by the | court in the second case. In this latter case a subcontractor, engaged in building a crib | for the government at Buffalo, N. Y., work- ed his men more than eight hours a da but the decision of the court was to the ef- fect that, as the crib had first to pass a satisfactory inspection before becoming the | property of the government, work on it) previous to its acceptance by the govern- | ment was therefore not government work. It is contended, however, in the case of | Banks that there can be no question of the | sewer being a District work, and it is un- | derstood that his defense will be that the | working of his men more than etght hours | a day became necessary through extraordi- nary emergency. ——~ An Alleged Speak Enny. Last night about 5:30 o'clock Sergeant Daley and Officers Muller and Brannagan| raided a cigar and candy store on 7th street | southwest, kept by a woman named Maggie Spiess, on suspicion that she was selling Nquor in violation of law. Several persons} were found in the house and the propric-| tress was arrested and locked up. The af- fair created considerable excitement and| attracted a large crowd. Lawyer C. Mau-| rice Smith appeared for the woman when the case was called in the Police Court to- day and demanded a jury trial. Mrs. Spiess) was released on bail. ee Real Estate Matters. G. S.

A Birthday Banquet. A few days ago Mr. Harry C. C. Stiles, a young and popular member of the Colum- bia Athletic Club, reached and safely pass- ed his twenty-first birthday, and in honor of the event a number of his friends sur- prised him with a banquet at the Losekam Saturday night. Handsome souvenir menu | cards, illustrating, with humorous sugges- tiveness, the occasion for the celebration, were got up by Mr. W. H. Chandlee (“Chan.") of The Evening Star, who was one of the guests of the evening. The din- ner was one of Mr. Marshall's best efforts, and everybody was in good humor and willing to be amused. The company was composed of Messrs. W. H. Chandlee, Ed C. Moore, J. Barton Miller, J. i. O’Brien, Walter E. Garry, A. Lee Lowe, T. A. Mul- lett, Guy V. Collins and W. M. Hale. Wal- ter Garry gave a few excellent comic reci- tations and Ed Moore also gave one of his original recitations. Tommy Mullett amus- ed the company with his eccentricities, and everybody else contributed his mite toward making the evening a pleasant memory. Mr. Garry proposed the health of the new-fledged “man,” which was drunk, and Mr. Stiles responded in a neat little speech, thanking the boys for their good wishes and the manner in which they had made them manifest. Mr. Hale then gave a few excellent banjo solos and the company dispersed. Col. Dangerfield Lewis Dead. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 18.—Col. Danger- field Lewis of Clark county, one of the most prominent politicians of the valley, died last TO HELP THE POOR. The Police Actively Selling Tickets for Wednesday's Concert, Lieut. Boyle Sends for Five Hundred More—Members of Light Bat- tery A Will Attend. That the police and firemen are actively engaged in disposing of the tickets for the concert to be given by the Marine Band at Convention Hall for the benefit of the poor | of the District on Wednesday night is prov- ed by the fact that Lieut. Boyle has today made a request for 500 additional tickets. His men are evidently bound to come in for one of the five prizes that have been of- fered for those selling the greatest number of tickets. These prizes are as follows: Silver watch of best make, with all the latest improvements, offered by Galt Bros. Silver hunting case watch of best make and with all the best improvements, offered by J. Karr. Gentleman's gold locket, with diamond, offered by Harris & Co. Handsome silver ice pitcher, offered by Salvatore Desio. Handsome silver dinner castor, with cut glass ornaments, offered by Harris & Shacer. The Police Are Hustling. night. While the police would naturally exert themselves in the cause of charity, and / 4 opock particularly in a movement by which the police fund would be benefited, it is natural | that individual members should put forth extra efforts in order to secure one of the five handsome prizes that have been so generously donated by the firms mentioned above. The present cold snap has intensified the suffering of the poor, and the demands for assistance are now greatly increased. No class of people realizes this so well as the po- lice, who are brought into constant touch with the most distressing cases of mis- fortune and want, which they wish to re- lieve, but which, too frequently, it is not within their power to alleviate. This win- ter suffering and distress is much more widespread than for many years, for the financial panic of last summer and the hard times that followed had a disastrous effect upon the poor. Many laboring men who usually make good wages during the au- tumn and sometimes far into the winter months, owing to the financial uncer- tainty were unable to obtain work, and have now been out of employment for weeks, some of them for months. This state of things, of course, increases the number of those who will need assistance, and the police fund is now greatly depleted. Need of the Money. No portion of the money appropriated by Congress for charitable purposes was’ turn- | ed over to the superintendent of police, and Maj. Moore feels that this concert af- fords an opportunity for getting means that the police fund actually needs. If the men exercise proper energy and in- dustry it is believed that at least $5,000 can Out of order shows iton the face. When the human machine goes wrong the physiognomy tells tales.
