Henry R. Jackson of Savannah, Ga., who ‘was then our minister to Austria, and who so ably upheid the rights of Da Costa, an @pplicant for American citizenship. It was by order of Gen. Jackson (afterward minis- ter to Mexico during President Cleveland's first term) that the naval commander tcok decisive steps. Gen. Jackson is still living. January 30. L. epee ts The Cattle Market.

Generous Contributions of Money and Clo ing—The Canvass Not Yet Com- pleted—Distributing Agencies. The regular meeting of the central relief committee took place yesterday afternoon in the Post building, and proved interest- ing. Two reports were submitted. One from the committee on distribution, and the other from Treasurer Wilkins. After Chairman Tracey had called the meeting to order, he stated that the can- vassing committees had received in cash, up to Monday evening, $6,925.26. Added to this, over $3,000 worth of food, provisions, and clothing, the grand total to date of money and supplies was about $10,000. The Committee on Distribution. In this connection the report of Chair- man Lawrence Gardner of the committee on distribution was read. It stated: “The committee on distribution recom- mend the appropriation of the following sums: Police department, $1,500; Associated Charities, $1,000; Young Men's Christian Association (colored), $150; United Hebrew | Charities, $100; Trinity parish branch of St. Vincent de Paul, Georgetown, $100; Deaconess’ Home, $5; total, $2,000. “There are in hand numerous applications | for appropriations from local organizations, but the committce has not felt justified in increasing the list of agencies in view of the present financial condition and pros- pects of the movement; and, also, in view of the fact that further multiplication of agencies, without a perfected system of | checking, such as we are in the process of organizing, would increase the risk of du- plication and of aiding unworthy persons. “From the information recetved from the chairman of the canvassing committee, who is prevented by sickness from attending this meeting, there is at hand unexpended and unappropriated a balance of about $5,- vou, the major part of which has not yet been turned over to the treasurer of the central relief committee, but soon will be. It is not deemed wise to exhaust the fund in hand, and to rely entirely upon the chances of future collections, in view of the fact that there are at least two months ahead during which relief must be afforded. “In the distribution of appropriations re- gard has been had to the work of the var- ious organizations in the past, to the quick- hess and system with which relief reaches, and to the condition of balances of appro- priations already made, some of the minor ones not yet being exhausted. The police cover the entire District without the ex- ception of any locality. No other organiza- can do this so conveniently or so promptly. The Associated rities, with its broad plan, does not claim to compete with the police agency in some parts of th District outside the city limits. “Various local organizations have recent- ly filed applications. The committee, as far 4s possible, unless otherwise instructed, will adhere to the rule of dealing with cen- tral bodies, in order that greater responsi- bility may be secured, and the danger of duplication and imposture lessened. Generous Donations of Supplies. “A gratifying feature of the week's work, which has a very important bearing upon future prospects, is the very liberal re- sponse to the committee canvassing for do- nations in kind. Fuel, provisions, clothing and bedding have been sent in large quan- tities from many persons to the central re- lef committee rooms. The donations af supplies received number in all 210. They include some very large orders, such as 1,000 loaves of bread from Messrs. Schnei- der & Berens, 25 loaves of bread every day for a month from Havenner Baking Com- pany, 30 loaves of bread from L. E. Brus ger, 100 bread tickets from Fred Vogt, 5 barrels crackers, New York Biscuit Com- pany. The order for 1,000 loaves of bread has been given to the police department, and that of 25 loaves a day from the Hav- enner Baking Company to the Associated Charities. In addition to the donations above mentioned, the committee has also received a very large number of orders for supplies from business firms and indi- viduals, including about thirty tons of coal. “Much of this very important aid to the undertaking of general relief has come through the members of the canvassing committee, to whom the committee on dis- tribution is also indebted for much informa- tion regarding cases calling for relief. “There have been sent from the central relief committee rooms to the various dis- tributing agencies in all twenty-two full wagon loads of relief supplies. There are supplies enough on hand at present to bring the distribution today up to twenty-five loads. “The main agencies in the distribution in kind have been the police and the Asso- ciated Charities, and,considering the money appropriations to those organizations, a liberal addition is to be made for the value of supplies thus furnished. “Your committee has heard of some cases in which unauthorized persons have collect- ed money, and it is deemed wise that the public should be warned against such im- postors and reminded that all collectors from the canvassing committee carry cre- dentials with them and are desired to oper- ate within the districts to which they are assigned. While the responses of the public of the District in money and supplies to the appeal for the relief fund have been liberal, it is evident that a continuance of similar liberality will be needed to carry on the work during the winter season.” ‘The report was adopted. As to Georgetown. Mr. G. G. Boteler of Georgetown inquired what arrangement had been made tor the distribution of funds and clothing in Georgetown.. He was informed that the Georgetown branch of the Associated Char- ities and the police were being used. Mr. Boteler stated that upwards of $200 was on hand, which he would turn over to the treasurer. ‘The report of the treasurer showed that $10,073.41 had been received and $4,5%3.53 had been disbursed. Secretary Somerville read a letter from pupils of the high school offering to give an entertainment for the benefit of the relief fund, and Mr. Somerville was directed to write a letter to Mr. William T. Kirby that the central committee would be glad to receive any funds that may be raised from such an entertainment. The entertainment will be given at Martyn College on Febru- ary 14, 15 and 16, by pupils and graduates of the high school. The meeting adjourned to meet ogain Tuesday, February 6, at 4 o'clock p. m. ————, 2 Good Templars Elc¢étions. Liberty Lodge, I. O.

This is the Verdict Rendered in the Case of Dr. Edward Leon. | Shortly after $ o'clock last evening the lias in the case of Dr. Edward Leon, charged with the murder of the unnamed infant of Miss Estelle E. Beach, on the Bist of last October, as the result of an abortion performed upon Miss Beach two days previously, returned a verdict of guil- ty as indicted, and after counsel for the convicted man had given notice of a mo- tion for a new trial, the prisoner was re- manded for sentence. | As stated in The Star’s report of the case yesterday, counsel for the defense con- cluded the closing argument for Leon at 2:20 yesterday afternoon, being followed by District Attorney Birney. Mr. Birney | spoke briefly, presenting the case for the government in a very impassionate but exceedingly effective mianner, impressing the fact upon the jury that the question at issue was whether Miss Beacn, a young, motherless girl, hardly more than a child, told the truth, or whether Dr. Leon, whose past reputation was far from good, and whose life was at stake, had lied on the wit- |ness stand to save his’ neck. |. Judge Cole, in a brief charge, told the | Jury that the prisoner was not charged with aving procured an abortion, but with the murder of the babe, and explained that if the defendant had performed the abortion knowing that the child was quick with life, he was guilty as charged. The burden of proof was, stated the court, on the prosecu- tion, and while Miss Beach stood in the case in the position of an accomplice, and her testimony should have to be taken with | reat caution, yet if the jury found that she was corroborated by other witnesses jor by known facts in the case, a conviction could be founded upon her testimony. The jury retired at 3: and a recess was taken until 5 o'clock, but the jury not |having agreed at that time a further re- cess was taken until 8, when the jury came down, and, in answer to their inquiry, were informed that a verdict could be based upon the testimony of Miss Beach, provided the jury found that her testimony was corrob- |orated. Again retiring, the jury returned in about fifteen minutes’ time with a verdict of guilty of murder. The prisoner took the verdict in an apparently indifferent manner, and after his counsel had given notice of motion for a new trial was taken back to Jail to await the imposition of the sentence of death, provided, of course, the motion for a new trial is overruled. —-—— AMUSEMENTS. The Old Homestead.—On Monday night next the doors of Albaugh’s Grand Opera House will be opened to a week's engage- ment of “The Old Homestead,” with a cast chosen from among the best artists before the footlights. Of the play itself it may justly be said that there is no play now be- fore the public that is more deeply rooted in the annals of the stage than Denman Thompson's pastoral idyl. From its very first presentation and throughout its Ieng run of four years at the Academy of Music in New York city it became firmer seated in the hearts of theater goers than any oth- er production, and is more popular today than during its first performances, The beautiful scenic effects, notably the remark- able reproduction of Grace Church, which every visitor to New York remembers, not only for its architectural beauty, but for the sweetness of its chimes and the grandness of its choral service, is simply magnificent; as is also the elaborate panoramic view of the countryside near Swanzey, in the far- away granite state-New Hampshire. Oliver Byron.—Few melodramatic stars have attained a greater or more enduring popularity than that enjoyed by Oliver Byron. He has presented to the public some of the most thrilling and effective plays known to the stage. His appearance at Harris’ Bijou Theater next week will un- questionably be a welcome event. During the week he presents two pla: day, Tuesday and Wednesday, “Th er,” and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, “The Heart of Africa.” As is expected,with @ production in which this star figures, the utmost care has been taken in mounting the play. Not only are the scenic preparations extensive, but the company has been se- — with such care as to insure a com- pefent presentation of each character. Gus Hill's Novelties.—Gus Hill's World of Novelties will be the attraction at the Lyceum Theater next week. Included in the company are the Miller Brothers, Fred. H. Leslie and his school of trained dogs, Geo. H. Wood, Dan “McAvoy and Jessie May, Morrisey and Hickey, Miss Estelle Wellington, Fred Roberts, Edward Earle, the Highieys, Gus Hill and Rose and Noble. The performance concludes with the farce comedy “A Night Off.” The Children’s “Pinafore.”"—Next Satur- day afternoon at the New National Theater there will be a repetition of the excellent performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's “Pinafore” by the children that made such a decided hit last spring. The cast and chorus are nearly the same as last year and it is expected that even better work will be done. Prof. Harry Howard, who has drilled the little ones at the rehe and who has brought them to a high state of vocal perfection, will conduct the per- formance with Mr. Magruder as stage man- ager, and Prof. J. H. Vermilya as director of the dances that will be introduced. Tne advance sale indicates that there wili be a crowded house and that the audience will be a brilliant one. Mrs. W. B. Gurley has taken two of the boxes and the others have been secured by the Japanese minister, the wife of Senater McMillan,Mrs.’M. A. Stone, Mrs. Daizell and Mrs. Upshur. The pro- ceeds will be for the benefit of the National Homeopathic Hospital. Capital Glee Club Concert.—At its open- ing concert of the season, tomorrow even- ing, at Metzerott Music Hall, the Capital Glee Club will sing the Pilgrim Chorus,trom “Tannhauser;” “Chorus of Spirits and Hours,” by Dudley Buck; an arrangement of the “Kerry Dance,” and a negro medley arranged by Shattuck. In addition, the New York Philharmonic Club will render @ sextet, “Intrata Notturno,” by Jadas- sohn; “Spinning Wheel,” by Spindler, and serenade, “Impromptu,” by Gillet. ' Miss Weed will sing the canzonetta, “La Cuapi- nera,” by Benedict; Mr. Auty, a romance, by Brahms; Mr. Eugene Weiner, flute vir- tuoso, will render the aria ‘“Reigen Sce- liger Geister,"” from “Orpheus,” by Von Glueck, and ‘an allegro by Demersseman. Mr. Sol. Marcosson, violin virtuoso, will render the “Fairy Dance,” by Bazzini. A program of this attractiveness merits a large audience,which it will doubtless hav The prices are popular. Seats at Metzer- ott’s. Georgetown Orchestra.—The final rehears- als of the Georgetown Orchestra for their concert Friday evening give promise that the program will surpass anything ever given by this well-known organization. So great has been the outside interest in these rehearsals, and the attendance of specta- tors has been so large, that an order had to be issued that the remaining meetings be- fore the concert should be privaie ones. Director Rakemann is endeavoring in every way to improve the standard of excellence. The stringed instruments have had several separate drills. Miss Sopha Church Hall, a contralto of great promise, will be heard for the first time in concert here; | Mr. Rakemann will personally play the | violin obligato to one of her songs. The | “Air de Ballet,” composed by Mr. Depret of | the French legation, has been arranged f | string orchestra, and its rendition is looked forward to with interest. Mr. John Porter Lawrence will play, with the orchestra, a brilliant piano concerto by Weber. Miss Anita Cluss, the talented harpist, will assist the orchestra. Seats at Metzerot Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.—Re Robert Nourse, D.D., well known everywhere as a lecturer, will lecture tonight at the ‘Taber- nacle Congregational Church, on dth street below B street southwest, on “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Dr. Nourse has decided to |donate the entire proceeds of his lecture to the work of the Tabernacle Churc! | | Like a New Woman “I have been taking Hood's Sarsaparilia for indigestion, catarrh and sick heudache, it has made me feel like a new woman.
