A fourteen-year-old boy, arrested and taken to the Police Court Jast Friday as a vagrant, gave his name as Wallace Shakes- peare, and Judge Kimball turned him over to Agent Sweeney of the Newsboys’ and Children’s Aid Society. The boy was found loitering about the railroad depot, waiting for an opportunity to steal a ride on a train going south. When he reached the News- boys’ Home Agent Sweeney questioned him, and was soon satisfied that the bey had not given his right name, nor told a truth- ful story concerning himself. Mr. Sweeney soon ascertained that the boy’s name is James Murray, and that he came here from Philadelphia. It turned out that Mr. P. T- Hallahan, the prominent Shoe manufactur- er in that city, was his guardian, and he sent money to Agent Sweeney to pay the boy's fare home. In a letter from Mr. Hal- Jahan it was stated that the boy was in- terested in an estate. The boy told the agent that he left his home and started out to see the world. He thought he had seen enough of it, and now he wants to return. ——— Jolly Fat Men. ‘The meeting of the Jolly Fat Men’s Club, at Moses’ Hotel at Brightwood, Tuesday evening, was one of the pleasantest gather- ings held unde: the auspices of the club this season.

There ts no cessation in the interest taken in the pure food exposition now in progress at Convention Hall, and the unrelenting warfare against indigestion goes bravely on. Today is physicians’ day at the exposition, and nearly all of the prominent physicians of the city have visited the hall during the day. The subject of pure food is an es- | pecially interesting one for the medical pro- | fession, as has been shown by the careful manner in which the local exponents have examined the different arrangements and preparations. Today Pettijohn’s California breakfast food has been distributed free to physicians. Tomorrow will be a gala day and night at the exposition. The Columbia Athletic Club will have full swing and will un- doubtedly make things merry. For the j especial benefit of the physicians Miss Johnson will lecture this evening at 8:30 on the preparation of food for the sick. Lectare Program. Miss Johnson’s lecture this afternoon is on entrees, giving the following recipes: Deviled chicken, with aspic jelly; chicken |a la terrapin in a rice border and sweet- breads in .bouche cases. The lecture of | Wednesday afternoon on game was listened | to by a large and interested audience. The table set for the game course, with its deco- rations of white and green, was especially attractive, lighted by two princess lamps, the center piece of white grapes intertwined with pale narcissus blossoms. The dining room was' lighted by the large banquet lamp, its green shade casting a delicate glow over the appointments of the table. The teachers of the Washington cooking schools, fourteen in number, enjoyed a little feast of game after the lesson. Mr. Powell was the honored and only male guest. The receipts this afternoon were: Deviled Chicken. Melt one tablespoonful of butter in a fry- ing pan, add two tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs, one pint of finely chopped chicken, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley and one hard boiled egg, mashed fine, with one-quarter of a cup of cream.

DeWitt Talmage, who will speak on “Russia and the Czar.” The subject is an extremely interesting one and Mr. Talmage will make it unusually attractive from the fact that he has had per- sonal interviews with the czar and has made a study of the conditions of the Rus- sian people. Mr. Talmage’s power as a word painter is well known, and he will undoubtedly hold the close attention of his audience. Slivinski the Pianist.—Josef Slivinski, the eminent pianist, will appear in two piano recitals at Metzerott Hall, Friday and Mon- day evenings, January 26 and 2). His pro- gram, which is similar in style to that played by Paderewski, will be a progressive one, that is, he will show his versatility in playing selections from Gluck, Bach, Beet- hoven, Schumann and Chopin, and conclud- ing with either a rhapsody or polonaise of Liszt. Tickets will go on sale, on and after Tuesday, January 23, at Metzerott’s, 11lu F street. An interesting event in musical circles will be the testimonial concert to be tender- ed Miss Fielding C.

The report of the committee on credentials was presented, and the retiring noble grands from the various lodges were ad- mitted, the Grand Lodge degrees being conferred by Grand Warden R. H. Sorrell. The report of the grand master was re- ceived, referred to the committee on super- vision and duly acted upon. The report showed a decided increase in membership during past term. Application was received for a charter for « new lodge to be located at Langdon, D. C., to be known as Langdon Lodge, No. 26, and referred to a special committee, who at once presented a favorable report, which was adopted, and the charter grant- ed.

The public comfort committee of the Knights of Pythias encampment held a full meeting last night at the Ebbitt House. Chairman J. H. Mitcheil presided and Sec- retary Persey G. Smith recorded the min- utes. A resolution was passed authorizing and instructing the secretary to request the Hotel Association of this city to fur- nish the committee with rates and state- ment of the number of persons that could be accommodated during the conclave. Among other general plans discussed was one as to sending out circulars to each di- vision of the uniform rank requesting that they let the committee know about how many persons they will each send here to the encampment. The chairman stated that at present he expected not less than one hundred and fifty thousand visitors. The members of the committee will be noti- fled as to the time and place of the next meeting. A_ meeting’ of the press committee was held last night at Pythian headquarters in the Warder building. Chairman N. Bunch presided, and Secretary A. E. Glasscock did the*recording.

The general plans for the dis- semination of news were discussed. The next meeting of the press committee will be held Wednesday, January 24, in the Warder building. —_—_. For East Washington's Poor. The annual charity entertainment for the benefit of the poor of East Washington was given last night at Odd Fellows’ Hall, Navy Yard, before an audience that crowded the hal! to its greatest capacity, and hundreds who had previously purchased tickets were turned away. The entertainment has been in prepara- tion for several weeks, and the credit for its success Jast night is due principally to the efforts of Mr. P. C. Garden, who has worked incessantly among the people of Capitol Hill selling tickets and securing talent for the program, which was entirely voluntary. Those who contributed to its success by taking part in the program were the Washington Concert Company, Messrs. Cathell, Mason, Anderson and Miller, Miss Lizzie Rudd, in a Spanish dance; Dr. Frank White,a humorous recitation; Master Willie Collier, a jockey hornpipe; Mr. Charles F. Miller, a vocal selectio1 Misseg Mabel Owens and Elsie Loner, in a Highland flin, Mr: Elphonzo Youngs, jr., a cornet solo; the Columbia Musical Club, Mr. L. A. Callan, director, selections on string in- struments; Miss May Lee, character songs; Mr. Geo. Scott, comic songs; Miss Annie May O'Toole and Willie Collier, in an old- time Irish jig; Mr. Frank Depro, comic songs and character sketches, and Miss Cora Shreve, in a fancy dance. The principal feature of the evening’ tertainment was the one-act farce, “The Automaton,” by Mr. A. A. Sousa, who has achieved quite a reputation in Washington for his short farcical sketches. The play} was staged by the following: Miss Jessie Good, as Anita; Mr.,R. R. Stattan, as Joshua Barlow; Mr. Ernest Greer, as Felix Crow; Mr. Charles F. Roberts, as Buttons; Mr. Charles Ryan, as Prof. Biff, and Mr. A. A. Sousa, as Robin True. All of the characters were very good and the comical situations afforded the audience intense amusement. During the course of the play Mr. Charles Ryan gave an exhibition of his ventriloquial powers. The entertainment will be repeated next Thursday evening, when Mr. Garden intends to have the pro- gram an hour longer. — A Fair Raided. Last evening in Bethel Hall, on M street northwest between 16th and 17th streets, there was an exciting scene when two Policemen, Officers Keleher and Lee, entered and served a warrant on George W. Martin and Frederick Booker, members of the Merry Monarch Club. A fair given by the club has been in progress there for some nights, and at one of the booths a large bowl of punch was kept for sale. This bev- erage was in small glasses, the same as is done at fairs given by other organizations, but the police on the beat objected to its being dispensed in the fair room and so they procured a sample of it and had it analyzed. Being satisfied that there was liquor stronger than wine in the mixture, the officers swore out a warrant, charging unlicensed bar, and last night they went to the hall and served the writ. In addition to serving the warrant the officers summoned two of the fair maids as witnesses. The surprise was more than one of the maids could bear and she fainted. The persons named in the warrant gave bond for their appearance in the Police Court this morning. Lawyer Campbell Carrington appeared for them and demand- ed a jury trial. The case went over. —s Real Estate Matters, ‘ John O. Johnson has bought for $14,160 of W. O.

Last evening ex-Marshal Daniel M. Rans- dell was given a most agreeable surprise when, upon being told that an old friend from Indianapolis wished to see him, he discovered on entering the parlor of Dr. J. Wesley Rovee, 1404 H street, with whom | he has lately resided, every one of his late empioyes. Mr. Ransdell was soon apprised of the object of the unexpected visit by Col. A. H. Holt of the marshal’s offfce, who, in a very neat and feeling address, Presented the retiring marshal with a mag- nificent silver tea service, waiter and water Pitcher, explaining that the gift was made by his late employes as a slight expression of their esteem and love for one who had always treated them with the greatest con- sideration and regard, not only as employes, but also as men. For once the genial ex-marshal was un- able to express himself, and he frankly acknowledged that fact. But he at length found voice enough to assure his callers that while their gift was wholly unex- pected, it was all the more appreciated, and would always remain in his memory as the most pleasant incident in connection with the office from which he had just re- tired. He had been told that: his services as marshal had given universal satisfaction to the people of the District, but he wished his iate employes to know that whatever Success in the administration of the office had been attained by him was due not so much to his poor efforts as it had been to the intelligent and untiring work of every man who had served under him. A bountiful collation was served by Dr. oa ee Abou on fice of Mr. Ransdell, r the good things spread before them had been discussed the future pros- Perity and happiness of the ex-marshal was drunk. ———_—_ THE DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY.

The preparations for the celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Med- ileal Soctety of the District of Columbia, which occurs February 16, are being com- pleted by the committee appointed for this purpose.

Deacoi of Mount Jesreel Church Again in Court. The opposing factions of Mount Jezreel Colored Baptist Church are no nearer a reconciliation now than they were a month ago, when the first attempt was made to oust the pastor. Several Police Court cases have resulted from the trouble between the factions, and today two of the deacons ap- peared to occupy further time of the court, and perhaps pay a few dollars into the funds of the court. Deacon Philip Reeves was accused of having laid violent hands on John Hall, who is or was a member of the board of deacons. It appears that his name was dropped from the rolls of the church at a recent meeting, and Lawyer B. F. Leighton said that the legality or regularity of that meeting would decide the case before the court. In asking for a postponement of the case, counsel said that if Mr. Hall had been regularly deposed Reeves is guilty of a technical assault, for he did use only such force as was neces- = to keep Hall out of the business meet- rn “When these people were here before,” remarked the judge, “I think I said a re- newal of the trouble would result dis- astrously. It is about time that the police Heutenant of the precinct was appointed recelver of the church, with a squad of officers to keep things straight.” The request of counsel was granted, and the case went over for one week. a THE PLAN ABANDONED. Mr. John W. Albaugh Gives Up Ris Proposed New Theater. Manager John W. Albaugh has at last de- cided that on account of the opposition de- veloped to his scheme to erect a new opera house in this city, he will have nothing more to do with such a plan. A feeling of regret is expressed among many citizens over the fact that Washington is not to have a new place of amusement, and it is understood that the Builders’ Exchange will not remit its efforts to have the building regulations amended. An agreement has been reached between Mr. Albaugh and Mr. Edward H. Allen, the new lessee of the Grand Opera House, by which the former will retain a connection with the business. Mr. Albaugh will move to New York city and have charge of the bookings of the Grand Opera House, and will also do all the booking for his Lyceum Theater in Bal- timore. Mr. H. W. Dempsey is associated in the enterprise with Mr. Allen as a full partner, It is Mr. Allen’s intention to make many improvements in the opera house during the coming summer, in addition to the hand- some entrence which is to be constructed from Penrsylvania avenue, so that when the theatrical season opens next fall Wash- ington will have one of the handsomest play houses south of New York.
