Health Officer Hammett, in his report for the week ending December 30, shows con- ‘SiMetabie decrease in the number of deaths ~.&8 Compared to the previous week. It fell from 131 to 119, making the rate drop down from 23.9 to 21.7 per cent. The mortality ,Bmong aged persons was also considerably less than for the former week, a net de- crease of twenty-six per cent being noticed. The mortality among infants remained at the same relatively low point which has Prevailed all through the fall and thus far fmto the winter. There were twenty-four deaths of those under five years of age, and fourteen of those under one year. Had the Fate of death among young children gone up the normal point these figures would We steod about forty-five and thirty, re- deans That gives a pretty gocd idea of the falling off in mortality of infants and ren in Washington during the past few various lung diseases of acute charac- ter have decreased to some extent. During theweek there were seven new cases of diph- theria; with five deaths, and seven cases of ‘scarlet fever, with no deaths.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS| The Committee on Public Comfort for the | Coming Encampment. How Organizations Will Be Met—Get- ting Lists of Hotels and Board- ing Houses—The Members. Half a hundred enthusiastic members of the order of the Knights of Pythias met last evening in the parlor of the Metropoli- tan Hotel for the purpose of organizing the | committee on public comfort that is to have | charge of the entertainment of visitors dur- ing the great encampment of the Knights next August. Only a short meeting was held, as it was only necessary to elect the} officers and to announce the full roster of the committee, which had not been made public before. The chairman was named some time ago by the executive committee, im the person of Mr. John H. Mitchell, and his, selection was ratified at once by the | committee. Further organization was per-| fected by the selection of Col. L. P. Wright | as vice chairman and Percy G. Smith as | secretary. Chairman Mitchell told the committee briefly that his estimate placed the number of visitors at 140,000, which he considered low rather than high. He was confident that there would be at least that number, | and he had no doubt about the ability of the | local organization to care for that many | without trouble. He said that four books will be opened at once, at the headquarters | of the committee, in the Warder Building, | one for each section of the city, for the} registration of the hotels and ‘boarding | houses of the city that can take guests | upon the great occasion. The members of | the committee will be detailed off to small | subdivisions of the city for the purpose of | gathering complete statistics as to the) places of entertainment that will be avail-| able. A circular letter is to be sent off at) once to the various Knights of Pythias or- ganizations throughout-the country asking the number of men who expect to make the journey, and giving information relative to the securing of quarters. Other circulars | | will probably be sent away later, when the | facts of the places of comfort here are fully in hand. To Meet Organtantio: Mr. Mitchell further stated that his plan of meeting the guests was simple. There will be subcommittees detailed to watch for | certain organizations, meet them at the| trains, and to provide them with messen-! gers to direct them to the places they are to occupy. He added that he had estimated that $1,800 would be necessary to defray! the expenses of the committee, and it was voted to ask the executive committee for that sum at once. Col. Wright said that there was no doubt &t all as to the ability of Washington to ac- commodate the visitors. The uniformed | rank, of whom there will probably be 20,- | 00, ‘according to the estimates of Gen. | Carnahan, will be quartered in the monu- ment lot. The Committee. The next meeting of the committee will be held at the Ebbitt House, subject to the call of the chairman, which will be issued, probably, in about a month. The full com- mittee is enrolled as follows: J. H. Mitchell, chairman; Col. L., P. Wright, vice chair- man; Percy G. Smith, secretary. Members: T. E. Roessle, George W. Moss, John Knox, R. L.

Robert Guy of Montana chatted with the bear reporter for The Star this morning at the American House. Mr. Guy was a gov- ernment witness in the star route trial. “Yes, we have a big country out there, with plenty of pluck, get-there, cows, bi- | metallisin, poker and bears. Did I ever shoot a real live bona fide bear that was roaming the warpath and wasn’t locked up | in a cage? Well, you bet. Think of a na- tive son of the golden west coming on to Washington without being able to say, ‘T've killed a bear.’ We don’t think any more of banging into a bear in those dig- gin’s than you do of blazing into a police- man. Let me tell you about the worst | case of bear fright I ever had. I had been out on a fall round-up, and had ridden | into the foothills of the Bitter Root moun- | tains. I picketed my, nag and turned in. | The next morning I was off before the} stars had closed their eyes, and just as the | new day was Heytins up the east I came_ across a grizzly . Most times these | creatures will make off when they see a/ man coming, but this fellow didn't budge. He seemed to be a veteran at the business, and was waiting to receive me. He was posing quietly on his haunches. I rode to within roping distance of him, brought my pony up,and with a twirl and awhirr wrap- ped my’ noose around his neck. Then 1] pulled it taut. That bear was naturally | surprised and showed a desire to resent the | treatment. After trying pretty hard to untie the knot, he located me as the cause of the trouble and made for me. I had a} good horse, but that bear seemed built for | fast time. Running seemed to be his) especial forte. Get an ordinary grizzly started on the run and a good horse has got to hump himself to keep out of the way. I found it so. The bear was gaining on me; this slackened the rope so that I/ had to cut it away through fear that the | pony would get entangled and fall. Then | I shied off so that I could dump my six-} shooter into it. I only wounded it. This | added to the fury of the bear, and he came faster and faster. Finally he began to get! his feet twisted in the long rope which he was dragging. This began to tell on him and to reduce his pace. At last he tripped and fell. He could not'regain his feet be- cause he was all tied up in a knot. I dis- mounted, reloaded my gun and carried in some choice steaks to camp.” _ George Callaghan'’s W The will of the late George Callaghan was filed yesterday, containing the following provisions: To the pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, $590, to be ex- pended in masses for the repoe of the souls of his family; $500 for the erection of a monument in Mount Olivet Cemetery, andj to Mrs. Johanna Riordan, Mrs. Hannah/ Maddox and Miss Johanna Callaghan, all of Louisville, $150 each. Several other small bequests are made, and it is directed that the proceeds from the sale of his personal effects and household furniture shall be di- vided equally between the St. Ann's Infant Orphan Asylum, the St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum and the Little Sisters of the Poor, the remainder of the prope:ty being be- queathed to his brother, John Callaghan, during his life, and after that to his heirs. It declares that Mrs. Callaghan is entitled | to fee simple in certain lots of land in Georgetovin and also to her dower of one- third in the estate, no other provision be- | ing made for her. Mecha Lien. A bill in equity has been filed by James W. Hendiey and Warren W. Biggs, doing business under the name of Hendiey & Biggs, to enforce a mechanic's lien for | $465.55, with interest from October 1, 1802, on ihe Corcorar building, incurred for im-| provements. —— } Reduced Kate to Baltimore.

Lehigh College Glee Clubs.—The concert to be given on Saturday evening at Met- zerott Hall by the Lehigh University Banjo and Glee Clubs promises to be as brilliant @ social success and musical treat as the concerts given by other college glee clubs in this city. The musical organizations of Lehigh are not entirely unknown here, a! though it will be their first appearance in this city. Friends of the university are | many in this city, and they are trying to make the concert such an enjoyable one that hereafter these musical organizations will always receive a hearty welcome in Washington. A number of amusing spe- clalties are introduced which have made an unusual hit where given. The latest comic songs and topical verses are rendered. ‘Ihe club have received excellent notices wher- | ever they have appeared. The patronesses will be Mrs, Secretary Gresham, Mrs. Sec- retary Carlisie, Mrs. Secretary Hissell, Mrs. John A. Logan, Mrs. Maj. Tucker, Mrs. Langhorn, Mrs. Lieber, Mrs. McCammon, Mrs. Frank Ramsay, Mrs. John A. Rodgers. The Schott Song Recital.—The concert to be given by Anton and Albert Schott, the world-renowned tenors, at Metzerott Hall this evening promises to be a grand suc- cess. The program, which has been care- fully arranged by Herr Anton Schott, 1s an excellent one. Among the many beau- tful numbers to be sung will be the “Prize Song” and “By Silent Hearth,” from Wag- ‘Liebeshiel, the Walkuere; Lohengrin's “Farewell Hueon Aria, from Weber's Oberon; Schu- bert’s Serenades and Erlking, winding up j with Schumann's “Two Grenadiers.”” ‘Tick- ets are now on sale at Metzerott’s music store. Col. R, G. Ingersoll.—The lecture to be given at the New National Theater on Sunday evening next by Col. R. G. Ingersoll promises to be one of the most iuteresting events that have taken place in this city in a long time. The eloquence and ora- torical power of ¢Col. Ingersoll are recog- nized all over the country, and his subject, “Abraham Lincoln,” 1s one in which the citizens of Washington are deeply inter- ested. It is alsoone upon which the elo- quent orator can expend all his powers of rhetoric in order to do full justice to the noble life and character of the martyr President. The sale of seats commenced today, and already the indications are that the theater will be crowded. Walter Pelham, Humorist.—The first en- tertainment under the auspices of the new choir of the Christian Endeavor Union of the District of Columbia was a great suc- cess last evening, the First Bap’ Chutech being filled to the doors. The famous Eng- lsh monologuist and mimic, Mr. Walter Pelham, A and a delightful program of his wonderful impersonations. A feature of Mr. Pelham’s work is that he is capable of holding an assumed expression just as long as he desires to impersonate the char- acter taken, and his imitation of that prince of American humorists, Artemus Ward, is excellent. Those who have known Mr. Ward freely state it would be difficult to distinguish between the real and the impersonation given by Mr. Pelham. Through a misunderstanding the enter- tainment was delayed in beginning, and upon request, Mr. John Tweedale gave several rocitations. Mr. Tweedale is well known to Washington audiences, and his work is always acceptable. Mr. P. S. Fos: ter also sang a humorous selection. M1 Pelham gives another evening for the ben- efit of the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium fund on Friday evening at the Y. M. C. A. hall. j —— Special Meeting at Foundry Church. As announced, a series of special meetings was commenced at Foundry Church yester- day. There will be two meetings each day for ten days—one at 4 p. m., under the lea ership of Mes. M. E. Griffith, and the other at 7:30 p.m., led by the pastor, Rev, Dr. Brown. ‘Ihe earlier meeting is especially for youth and children. At the later meet- ing br. Brown will preach each evening a short sermon, which will be followed by such services as the interest of the meeting may seem to Indicate as most timely and best. The services last night were well at- tended and the revival spirit ran high. ‘The outlook is good for a very successful series of meetings, > How to Reach Violators of the Fire Escape Law. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Our present “fire escape law” is disre- garded by certain non-resident owners of buildings to which the law applies. The question is not a “burning” one, except as to certain public halls, theaters and ‘hotels, where the public congregate in numbers. As to this class of buildings, the Commis- sioners are concerned at the disregar] of the law by their owners. They apply to the attorney of the District for an opinion. He holds that the law is fatally defective for want of an operative penalty, and because the Commissioners have no funds from which the fire escape could be put up and paid for, pending recovery of the cost out of the property. The attorney therefore ad- vises application to Congress for a more drastic law. The Commissioners have the remedy in their own hands. Each of the theaters; halls and hotels which defy the fire escape law requires an annual license. Why .ssue the license to an open violator of a law of Congress? Especially, why license a bus- iness at a place dangerous to life and timp? But it may be suggested that if the license should be refused the owner or lessee of the property would carry on the business with- out. There is no danger of that, so long as there is such a thing as police power. Our Commissioners command the police, and any attempt to carry on a business requir- ing a license which for any cause wai licensed could be readily suppressed. nat remedy would the “injured” party have? He might apply to the court for redress. Would he get it? He who seeks equity must’ do equity. He must have clean hands. An open violator of law could have and would be given no sthnding in court. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, and of the powers of the Commis- | sioners, there {s reason to criticise tacir| apparent timidity.

The comrades of Lincoln Post and mem- bers of Lincoln Woman's Relief Corps | turned out in large numbers last evening |at G.A-R. Hall on Pennsylvania avenue to | participate in and witness the joint instal- corps for the present year, The committee of arrangements, Capt. J. M. Pipes, J. J. Freeland and M. T. Anderson, by their efforts made the occasion very enjoyable and one long to be remembered. The hall was beautifully decorated and the speakers and talent of the highest order. The G.A. | R. Musical Union rendered several choice selections, which were enthusiastically re- ceived. Senator W. V. Allen on being in- troduced facetiously remarked that he was not prepared to make a speech, but could do so when necessary, and then fully dem- onstrated that he could by twenty minutes of rare eloquence. Gen. Bradford of Kan- sas also made for himself a warm place in the hearts of all present with his alternat- war times and his devotion to the G.A.R. Representative Heulick of Ohio made an address that just suited the time and place. The vocal solo by Mr. Geo. Terry was en- cored until compelled to respond again. With Miss Fannie Bischoff accompanist on the piano the vocal duet of Mrs. Bischoff and Mrs. Stanford was very pleasing, and the xylophone solo by Miss Willa: was redem: led, and Miss E. Lena Pettis ren- | dered a fine piano solo. Officers Installed. The officers of the post were installed by Assistant Mustering Officer Arthur Hen- dricks, as follows Commander, J.

Before Judge Miller this morning there was a family matter aired, & son, wife and | neigtbor being witnesses against Frederick Nolbe of 12th street extended, on a charge of threats to the family. The son expressed his doubts as to his father’s sanity, and the court suggested that if such was the fact the proper course to pursue was by lu- nacy proceedings, and committed him for a hearing. —___ Discussing the Situat! Calmiy. About 4,000 men assembled in the square at Cleveland, Ohio, yesterday, for the pur- | pose of listening to a discussion of the in- | dustrial situation. The crowd was com- | posed almost entirely of unemployed men, | 99 per cent of whom were foreigners. Poles and Bohemians predominated. The meeting was of an orderly nature. There were no | incendiary speeches and no inclination was | shown by anybody to resort to unlawful or | violent measures in order to do away with the poverty that now besets them. A com- mittee of ten was sent to the city hall to wait on the mayor and invite him to address | the meeting and tell what the city govern- |ment intended to do. Mayor Blee accepted the Invitation and spoke for about fifteen minutes, counseling moderation and prom- ising to do all that was possible for the re- Nef of the suffering. After the mayor left the speaking continued. Speakers were plenty and many of them spoke in foreign ec pedongag exciting enthusiasm and loud ap- plause.. eee Willlam '.
