Probably the largest crowd which has at- tended the pure food exposition at Con- vention Hall did so last evening, when Miss Helen Louise Johnson, who has daily jsiven valuable instruction in the art of cooking, was present, and explained the system of cooking by electricity. Miss Johnson will be remembered by many thou- sands of Washington people who visited the Chicago world’s fair as the young lady who presided over the electrical kitchen there. She is enthusiastic over the capa- bilities of electricity in the kitchen, both in | private houses and in larger establishments, } and believes that at no very distant day it | will take the place of the other fuels. The average servant, she thinks, is also ca- pable of quickly being taught to cook by it. The exposition closes tomorrow evening, but so successful has it been that the man- \ i i | | i agement would have continued a_ week longer at least had they been able to Se- cure the hall for that time. It is said that hext fail, probably in November, the same | management will nold a similar ‘exposition, and that it will probably continue for a }longer period than the present one. It is understood that a cooking school will be established here next year, similar to the celebrated Philadelphia school, and that Miss Johnson will preside over it. Today's Lessons. The cooking lecture at the hall today was on frozen desserts. In addition to | those for which the recipes are given in full many others were explained. Ice Rice Pudding With Compote.

Excursion Tickets to New Orleans, La., 0. ion of the Mardi Gras tivities, January 30th to Fe! Gth, 1s94. Beginning January 20 and contin ti February 1804, the Richmond railroad will sell excursion Washington to New Orleans for return fifteen days f Danville ets, valid om the great south | of disrepute in the “Division.” | The case in question involved a charge against a woman named or known as Jen- rie bush, who conducted the business men- tioned at 1318 and 1820 D street. Her house was raided ten days ago be- cause of a complaint made to the police by District Attorney Birney, whose atten- tion was called to this particular woman by the Jewish Socicty. When the case was called in court this morning, Mr. Mullowny suggested that the court accept her personal bonds upon a Suspension of sentence, as the woman had Promised to abandon the business. This motion, he said,he made by direction of Mr. Birney. Judge Miller questioned the propriety of such a course, and wanted to know what she was brought into court for if she was not to be tried in the regular way. The judge said that there were, perhaps, one hundred such houses in the “Division,” and he could not exactly understand why one person should be singled out and the nine- ty-nine remain unmolested. If it is a vio- lation of law for one of them to carry on the business, it is certainly a violation for the others. Mr. Mullowny explained to the court that these houses were permitted in this section | under certain conditions, but if there was | reason for it, they were raided and brought | into court. Jennie Bush, he said, will never again be permitted to conduct the business in this city, and Mr. Birney thinks it better to have the case stand over her in order that | She may be brought in and committed to | Jail if she does not comply with the condi- tions of the bond. The court finally adopted the suggestion f the prosecuting officer, and released the woman on her personal bonds. The raid was made on complaint of Mr. Birney, who received information from one of the Jewish religious societies. Members | of the society complained that newly landed young women were brought here from New | York and put in this house. It is understood that the woman will go to New York to engage in the same busi- ness. } | o | | — Church Officers Elected.

As the members of that popular South- east Washington organization, the Wash- igton Athletic Club, were at work or at play in different parts of the club house on Monday evening, they were surprised by a visit from a large crowd of their friends, who took the house by storm and turned | the evening into one of life and gayety. | | The boys recovered their presence of mind at once and made generous hosts. Three of | the musical members of the club, Messrs. | Marshall, Crown und Beuhler, furnished the | music for dancing, and the gymnasium was | cleared for the occasion and occupied until a late hour. Amateur Gymnastics. The Young Men’s Christian Assoefation, 1400 New York avenue northwest, will give | an exhibition in their gymnasium that gives promise of being by far in advance of what | has been done there in the past. There will | be eighteen different performances, includ- | ing the regular work of the gymnasium and | considerable that has been in preparation | for the exhibition.

THE SALVATION ARMY. A Series of Interesting Special Meet- ings to Be Held Here. The Salvation Army is about to make an unprecedented demonstration in Washing- ton. A series of special meetings is to be held at the new hall, 930 Pennsylvania avenue, beginning next Saturday night and running for a week or more, and some of the leading officers of the army are coming to take part. Commander Balling- ton Booth himself, the head of the Salva- tion Army in the United States, will be here for one day ‘the latter part of next week, but the Salvation Army Hall would not begin to hold the throng that will want to hear him a much larger place will be secured for his meeting. If Con- vention Hall were arranged as it will be for the Moody meetings it would be just the place for Commander Booth’s meeting, but it will probably not be ready by the time he comes, so that he will probably speak in one of the churches. He is ac- customed to gatherings of thousands of people, for his meetings are crowded now Wherever he goes. Since he was last in Washington he has grown in every way, so that he is even more interesting and impressive as a speaker than he was. Those | | | | | | | H meetings in Carnegie Music Hall, in N York city, at the annual “congress’ November will never forget the way which Commander Booth swayed those great audiences, The special meetings at the Salvation | Army Hall will be in charge of staff offi- | cers who are the very flower of the army. Adjutant and Mrs. Dunham, who are in| charge of the district comprising Mary- | land, Virginia and the District of Colum- |! bia, will come over from Baltimore Satur- | day and remain until the special meetings | are over, Staff Captain and Mrs. Taylor, | the former being known in the army as} “The Golden Minstrei,” will come from New York and stay here through the meet- | ings. These four officers, with the three local olficers, Capt. McFetridge, Lieut, | Bolreicht and Lieut. Strowbridge, will | take part in all she meetings. On Monday | Staff Captain Pattie Watkins, “The Welsh | Nightingale,” one of the most attractt and most successful girl officers, who has charge, not only of a corps and a training | garrison, but of the great meeting held | every Sunday night in Cooper Union, will come from New York to stay a day or two, especially to sing in the meetings. Later in the week Staff Captain and Mrs. Bell, two remarkable officers, Mrs. Bell, as Maj. Chatterton, having as wide a fame vefore her marriage as her husband, are coming over from New York to help in the meet- ings for several days. Finally at the end of the week Maj. Robert Evans, chief of the division including most of the middle states and the district of which Washing- ton is a part, and who has arranged for these meetings at the instance of members of the Auxiliary League of Washington, will come over to direct the closing opera- tions. All these visitors are exceptionally good speakers, and some of them are par- ticularly good singers, so that the meetings promise to be exceedingly interesting. No such effort has been put forth here by the army before, and it naturally hopes. for great results, -_-——— -—_ GYPSY JOE. Hts Last Hop Joint Raided—He Wants a Jury Trial. For several years there has lived in this city a young man named Israel Hepner, who is familiarly known as “Gypsy Joe.” He came here from Baltimore and the police have had occasion to pay a number of visits to his room. Joe is an inveterate opium smoker and has kept what fs known as a “Hop joint.” When a suspicious young man is known to be in the city the { police generally call on the opium fiend and on several occasions they found their man. Evcry time Joe felt certain that the police knew the location of his room he moved and it kept the officers busy following him from place to place. Only a few weeks ago he occupied a room in the building known as the “Roost,” from which Detectives Horne and Boyd took a stranger who had been here only a short while. From there he moved to a room on 10th street northwest between D and E streets and later he moved to a house on the opposite side of the street. Last night the detectives went to the room, where they found a “Hop joint” in operation. Three smoking outfits were found in the room and two well-dressed Men were occupying bunks, where they were “hitting the pipe.” The occupant of the room w: arrestad and his guests were permitted to give fic- titious names as witnesses. Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney investi- gated the case this morning and preferred a charge of keeping a_ disorderly house against the defendant. When the case was called in Judge Miller's court this morning | the defondant demanded a jury trial and gave bonds for his appearance. —— Another Electric Ratlway. A bill is to be introduced in the Maryland | legislature, probably today, granting a charter to the Baltimore and Anne Arundel Electric Railway Company. The bill gives | | any other motive power in use on railway } lines in that state. The road is to start | from Baltimore and go through the fourth and fifth election districts of Anne Arundel county, with the right to extend its branches ten miles in any direction, The upper ter- minus of the line will be at Laurel, Prince George's county. The capital stock is $v,- 000, with permission to increase to $500,000, in the discretion of the board of directors. The fourth district of Anne Arundel county borders close to Baltimore city, while the fifth district extends toward Jess,p's and Annapolis junction, indicating the direction the proposed road will take. eee Denth of W. 0. Chariton. W., O. Chariton, esa. of Hesleysich, Northumberland, England, who for so many years was attached to the British | Jegation in this city and Is so pleasantly | remembered in Washington society, died at | Brighton, England, on yesterday, January 23, 1804. Mr. Charlton married Miss Campbell, the daughter of Mr. Archibald Campbell of Albany, N. Y., so lng a resident of Washington, D. C., while occupying a num- ber of important official positions, and on his retirement from public life he made it his home until his death, in 1887, beloved and regretted by all who knew him. Mr. Chariton resigned from the diplo- matic service upon the death of his father, in 1885, and has since been residing in England. oo The Cattle Market.

A musical and social was held in the| parlors of the Western Presbyterian | Church last evening, under the auspices of the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip. “The Swing,” by Mr. Gawler, violin; Mr. Gill, flute; Mr. Doyle, ’cello, and Miss Web- ster, piano, was very acceptably rendered. Miss Minnie Keene sang and there was a | whistling solo, “Blumensteid,” by Miss Alice Finckel. The last number, a “Evening in the Mountains,” by Miss W ster, Mr. Gawler and Mr. Doyle “ a well-deserved encore. Refreshments were then handed around by the “King’s Daugh- ters,” and the brothers were congratulated on the success of their entertainment, > Talking of Agnosticism. Rev.

The fatalities from catarrhal influenza (la grippe) fell off from 17 in the preceding week to 10, thus confirming the opinions of a number of physicians that this malady is at present on the decline. The principal feature of this week’s report is the large mortality from consumption. Twenty- three died of this dread foe of humanity, | composing 20 per cent of all the deatls. | Scarlatina, or rather scarlet rash, continues to prevail in the same mild form which it has maintained all winter. There were seven new cases of it placarded during the week with no deaths. Diphtheria made its presence known in seven new instances, and therefrom were two deaths reported. This disease, together with typhoid fever and tuberculosis, is receiving all the at- tention possible on the part of the health authorities with a view to their repression and final stamping out. Infant mortality still remains ai the same low peint which it hus held all fall and winter, giving good ‘ound for the conviction that the general remedial and sanitary agencies employed during the last summer in connection with the universally admitted fact that the milk supply of the city has wonderfully improv- ed since the scientific inspection began, have had a direct important influence in saving the lives of the little ones.” The report shows: Number of d2aths, 111; white, 83; colored, 48. Death rate per 1,000 per annum: White, 16.8; colored, 28.7. Total population, 20. ‘Twenty-eight were under five years of age; 23 were under one year old, and 24 over sixty years. Thirty of the deaths occurred in hospitals and public institutior The deaths by clagses were as follows: Zymotic, 19; constitutional, 45; violence, 8. The principal causes of death were: Diphtheria, 2; consumption, 28; ty- phoid fever, 5; pneumonia, 11; congestion of the lungs, 4; bronchitis, 5; kidney dis- y influenza, 10. Births reported, 32 white males, 25 white females; 2 colored males, 28 colored fe- males. Marriages reported, 36 white, 10 colored. Stili-births reported, 2 white, 9 colored. yee ee AMUSEMENTS, Sol Smith Russell.—One of the notable events of the present dramatic season in this city will be the engagement next week of the eminent comedian, Mr. Sol Smith Russell, who is to appear at Albaugh’s Opera House. ‘here is no artist before the public today who is less dependent upon material accessories than is Sol Smith Rus- sell. His strength rests entirely upon his Quaint individuality and intense apprecia- tion of the extremes of human emotion. In pathos and in humor his sublimity is unex- ampled. He has established his claim to the rank of a creative comedian, for, with every succeeding season, he produces a new play, the latest of which, “April Weather,” will have its initial production in this city and will be given the first four evenings and at the Saturday matinee. The favorite comedy “A Poor Relation” will be the bill for Friday afd Saturday. The sale of seats will begin tomorrow. My Jack.—"My Jack,” the most realistic Melodrama presented in years, will be of- fered to the lovers of this popular line of amusement at Harris’ Bijou Theater next Week. It is a melodrama in every sense of the word, which abounds in realistic scenic efforts, startling episodes, exciting situa- nd heroic utterances true to nature. ‘ory is most ingenious and interesting, hat has already been written of the Scenery, it must undoubtedly be the most effective, elaborate and beautiful. It will be presented here in the same excellent manner, with every attention to detail which has scored the play a success where- ever presented. There are loads of scenery and effects used in this production, which cost the sum of $25,000, The play is owned and under the immediate direction of Man- ager Walter Sanford, who is also the man- ager and owner of “The Struggle of Life,” thent® of Truce” and “The Power of City Spor Burlesque Company.—Man- ager Kernan’s attraction for next week will be The City Sports’ Burlesque Company, in conjunction with Cyrene, the renowned ac- robatic and eccentric danseuse, and Gerard Leon's trained donkeys, one of which gives a remarkable exhibition of talking and sing- ing. This organization is coi of art- ists of decided merit, all of whom have gained enviable positions in their respect- ive lines. Miss Roselle’s Concert.—Tomorrow even- ing there will be a concert at Metzerott Hall tendered to Miss Fielding C. Roselle by her many friends in this city, who have continued the interest they felt in her be- fore she left Washington to cultivate her naturally fine contralto voice under the best instructors in New York city. She has studied faithfully, and the result of her efforts will be apparent in her work tomor- Tow night. e will be assisted by excel- lent talent, and the program will be one of the most attractive that has been given here this season. Among those who are actively interested in Miss Roselle are a rumber of ladies prominent in social cir- cles, and it is believed that her concert will be attended by a brilliant and culti- vated as well as large audience. pees feysoealipaiaaeaay The Catholic University.

The Excitement Increasing. Dr. Damon's wonderful power over dis- case the talk of the city. ‘The lecture to ladies yesterday was well attended, and the cures that were perform- ed were more astounding than ever. Over 250 poor sufferers have been cured at these free lectures and clinics at Builders’ Ex- change Hall until now, they are indeed the talk of the city. Yesterday Mrs. Mary Morrison was carried upon the stage pled in all her limbs for eight years. less than five minutes, however, she was entirely relieved. One lady who had been deaf twenty years could hear a whisper with one short treatment. Another lady had suffered with a tumor about six years. Dr. Damon placed his hands upon it a few Troments, and it was reduced at least one- half in size. Several other quite remarkable restorations were made, calling forth hear- ty applause. The cures at the doctor’s of- fice, 736 12th st. n. w., are even more wonderful than those at the hall, because he has more time to give to each case. One thing greatly in his favor these hard times is the fact of his office fees being so ex- tremely low. He believes in doing the great- est amount of good to the greatest number. The free lectures at the hall are given every day at 2:30, except Wednesday and Satur- day; also Sunday evenings at 7:30, It —_——_—+ Auction Sale of Watches, Clocks and Jewelry by order of assignee, 7:30 tonight, at Flanagan's, 531 7th st. ja2s-at elias Ssh Case Extra Pale Lager Beer for family use, containing two dozen bottles, deliver- ed for 80c.
