There seems to be a wide differ- ence of opinion on this subject. It is esti- mated that there are fully 400 of this class in the city. In charitable circles the opinion is ex- pressed that the men should be made to work, especially those who are known to be “habitual bums,” as the police call them. Then, too, the character of the employment many think should not be such as is now provided. At present sawing and splitting wood is the principal occupation for them, and they have to do very little of that. | What they should be required to do, said a citizen last evening, is to work in the ‘open air, where they will get the benefit of | the wintry winds. That, he thinks, will test their willingness to work and virtually decide whether they are men out of employ- ment or whether they are men who do not want employment.

De- | | | | | them to the work h through Virginia, and there would be shovels scattered over the flats with no one to use them. It will require but three or four days of this kind of work, he thinks, to rid this city of the.men who have be- come so bold in their efforts to get a few dollars. Last night’s storm drove In nearly 250 men for lodgings, Municipal Lodging House, Central Union Mission and police stations. There were sixty-three in the lodging house, ninety- three in the mission and seventy-five in the Police stations. The Municipal Lodgiag House can accommodate nearly ninety men, but Its capacity is seldom fuliy taxed, be- cause there is nothing there that even has the semblance of charity. ‘They Fear the Bath Tab. The men are reyuired to work for all they get, and if they object to working they are turned into the street. The only exceptions to this rule are made in cases of persons who are incapacitated for work by reason of physical disability. Then, too, at this institution the lodgers are required to sur- prise themselves in the nature of a visit to the bath room. Many men will go into the woodyard, do the work assigned them, and then take off their hats to the bath tub and say farewell. There the men are required to saw an average of eight sticks of wood for a night's lodging, or a meal, and scores of them bring their meals with them. One man last night had a basket filled with pro- visions of all kinds and he willingly shared his food with some of his unfortunate com- panions and saved them the labor of sawing an extra eight sticks of wood. The average ledger will make a meal of a plece of dry bread rather than do the little amouat of work required and get a dish of hot stew, some bread and coffee. There they are pro- vided with a comfortable bed, with a pillow and covering, and yet there are hundreds of the men who will pass the door and go to a police station, or the Central Union Mis- sion, where a bench or floor is all that is provided. Last night, when the hour for closing the lodging house arrived, a squad of twelve men walked into the first precinct and asked for a place to sleep. “Why don’t you go next door?” was what they were asked. t's too late,” was their ready response. Some of the men were questioned and then they were marched up to the lodging room and shown the pine floor bedding. Later in the night five others appeared and they were also accommodated. At the Cen- tral Union Mission the men are required to saw only three sticks of wood for a night's lodging, and although they are given only a bench or floor space on which to sleep they prefer this to a comfortable bed and hot supper for a few minntes’ more work. These men understand all about the workings of the various places where they may obtain a night's lodging, and those who sleep at the police stations never fail | to appear after hour of closing of the mu- nicipal lodging house. But last night some of them were warmly received, and instead of being kept over night and turned out to annoy and perhaps rob citizens ther were put in the cells and charged with being va- grants. At the fourth precinct station, in South Washington, there were two dozen such callers, while at the sixth precinct thirteen names were recorded. Several of these, however, were picked up on the street, three of them having been arrested on Louisiana avenue, near the Central Union Mission. In the Police Court. “They are in the majority this morning,” was the remark of Bailiff Kendig, when the ;small army of strangers appeared in Judge Miller’s cou-t for trial. In the cell room the men talked freely, telling of their experi- ences on the road, and using the vilest lan- guage imaginafle. Among the number were many young n, very few of them being upward of thirty-five years. Judge Kimball started out by saying he intended to rid this city of the intolerable nuisance of an army of tramps if possible. James Casey and his companions were first called. The names of the latter were given as James Hart, Harry Smith, Thomas Rodgers, John Thompson, Edward Riener, William Sommerhof and Albert Defn They were brought in from Lieut. Kell: precinct, and Officer Langley appeared against them. Defner was the only one in the crowd who said he was not guilty “I came here in charge of a car load of stock,” he said, “and when the car went to the stock yard I went to the police station for lodgings.” “What are you going to do now?” “Going to look for work.” “Will you leave town if I release you?” ves, sir.” “You may go.” The others were given thi-ty days each on the farm. and they will now have to go to work. Placed Under Arre: Frank Lynch, Robert Finn and John Bodendeck were next in line. Policeman Hamilton picked them up on the. street. There was a fourth man in the party, but he got away. Just before the officer reached them they managed to empty a whisky bot- te, so that they were not without their “nightcap” when they retired on the iron = ou may have fifteen days each.” ‘wenty-one names appeared on the next Information, and the prisoners stood in line to enter their pleas when the clerk ar- raigned them. ‘Their names were given as James Carroll, Samuel Ricker, John How- ard. Charles Campbell, John Carter, Max Hoffman, George Williams, William Smith, d orris, Frank Nash, Frank Me- 3 liam Ganhorn. Frank Foley, John . James McHugh, William Everett and Harry Jones. Many of them plead guil were indisnant in their denis of a charge which they knew would send ase, ff convicted. Two of them said they were here looking after their pension claims, while three others told the court they were in search of employ- ment. Another man, John Howard, said he came here from Norfolk to ship in the navy as fireman. dave you made any effort to get in the > navy To whom did ‘© an elderly yard.’ ou apply?” man on an old ship. I think he was an Englishman, but I guess | he is an American now.” A favorable response was received when | | a telephone message was sent to the navy yard, and Howard was released. Ganhorn, McHugh and Huffman were also released on their personal bonds to leave the c! The others were sent down, some y. for five days, some for fifteen and others for | a month. ight a number of tramps were se . but the police drove them out of the District, as the road was in such a bad condition that the patrol wagon horse could not be sent out to haul them into the city. and they slept in the) 4 vacant house In the county near | AMUSEMENTS. Albaugh’s.—The achievement of Demos- thenes when he overcame natural obstacles to his career as an orator was slight com- culties. In personal appearance, in vocal expression and in gesture his mannerisms are pronounced, and if considered without reference to the surroundings, unpleasant, But the artistic sense within him was so strong and the intellectual power ‘which labored for its utterance so mighty that mere physical attributes pass ur considered excepting as they afford material for the caricaturist. It is for completeness of ef- fect rather than personal attainment that the eminent actor aims. He is content to contribute to the, harmonious : splendors with which he surrounds himself, instead of making them subordinate. “Beckett” adds little to the fame of Tennyson as a poet and proclaims the deficiency of dra- matic genius which would be expected from a writer whose effects are so exquisitely delicate. Irving's magnificent elocutionary and spectacular production of this work cannot overcome the cold fact that ,Tenny- £0n was a songster, and not a dramatist. The interest of the auditor in each scene passes as the curtain closes upon it. Even the dazzling beauty that surrounds an incident does not stand out in the memory because its successor is so brilliant to claim undi- vided admiration. It is a sdmber recital of historic events, and the author has pre- served" an almost clerical fidelity to fact. But it is a magnificent production; one which utilizes in a masterly way the" re- sources of the modern stage. The perform- ance of the title role by Mr. Irving is im- pressive. The author has seen fit to give only the austere side of Becket’s career, and this the actor brings out with a power possible only with one possessing his mar- velous faculties for minute consideration of detail. Wm. Terriss’ Henry Il was a | wonderful piece of work, his ardor standing out in strong relief against Irving's repose. He was most kingly and yet thoroughly human. Miss Ellen Terry was suffering 8o severely from a cold that her appearance | last night can be considered only as a gra- cious act of heroism. Miss Millward gives to the part of Eleanor not only force, but the dignity and beauty which the Ideal queen should have. The supporting cast was efficient, down to the smallest super- numerary in the furthermost corner of the stage. Such is the genius of Irving as a director. Becket will be repeated tonight. The National._Because Oscar Wilde wrote it, there have been many critics who have | permitted their superiority to show itself in various adverse criticisms of “Lady Winde-mere’s Fan" ever since its first ap- and even now that it has estab- more than a dramatized epigram. epigrams prevail in its dialogue can scarce- ly be dented, nor can it be denied that its dialogue is sparkling with satire and sense, even if Oscar Wilde did write it. As pre- sented at the National last night by Mr. Charles Frohman's company it impressed the audience with its keenness of conversa- tion and its intensity of situation. With a theme not the most pleasant, but eminently of society, it carries a plot and a counter plot of exceeding interest, and, what is more universal of novelty, at least in ap- plication. It is a story of a good wife who suspects the fidelity of a good husband, and in her first wrath forgets herself and ts about to wreck her whole social system, when she is saved by her mother, whom she thinks dead, and on whose account the hus- band is suspected. That’s the plot in a nutshell, and the development of it, while lacking the finesse of the French, 1s at least Oscar Wildely English. The cast fs not unusually strong, and the best work apne by Miss Virginia Harned and Miss Evelyn Campbell, mother and daughter, by Mrs. B. J. Phillips as the Duchess, by Mr. Gillmore, by Mr. Savilie and by Mr. E. S. Abeles, promising young actor. The Academy.—The Academy pulled a fine ather house last night, and no won- hen the pulling power was Evans and Hoey in that immortal stage epic, “A Par- lor Match.” To see it now in its new dress is like beginning all over again, and its quirks and fancies tickle as they fly. Of course, the man that broke the bank was there, and the gallery got onto him in a minute. He had a new song, too, but in this instance the old stan@by was'a hot favorite. The innocent kid was very ac- ceptably done by Miss: Merrilees, owing to | the filness of Miss Minnie French. Miss Simpson ts another bright light, and she had a wrestle with the gallery gods as to whether she should sing what she expected to sing or what they expected her to sing, and, as a matter of course, she was downed and had to obey the sumr.ons of the gods. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—That was a very good show at the Bijou last night. Charles A. Loder, that eecentric exponent of Ger- man comedy, presented ‘his successful com- «dy, “Oh. What a Night.” The company includes a bevy of pretty and clever girls, who sing catchy songs and give the per- formance a bright sparkle throughout. Briefly, the show may be summed up in these words: “Two hours and a half of fun, pure and wholesome.” Of course there is a plot, but not enough to worry one. Of laughable situations and funny tableaux there are a score, and when the curtain went down on the last act every one was sorry. Again tonight. Kernan's Lyceum Theater.—It was case of “standing room only” at Kernan’ last night. Everybody wanted to see Sam Jack’s famous Creole Company, and hun- dreds were turned away. Those who’ were fortunate to see the show went homie well pleased. The curtain raiser { egal ced many old favorites and includ tima, the late sensation of the midway. The Mallory Brothefs were pleasing and the DeWolf sisters sang sweetly. The military song and dance was clever and “The Port- er’s Dream” laughable. Irving Jones had a stack of new jokes and the Creole Ga- votte was well executed; Smith and John- son, entertaining, and Mr. and Mrs. Tom McIntosh, those sterling comedians, pleased every one. The entertainment closed with an exciting dancing contest, which proved an Innovation. Mr. Ridge Waller, ex- treasurer of Kernan’s, is the press represen- tative for Mr. Jack. Mr. Howard's New Lecture.—Last even- ing Mr. M. W. | | | | |. W. Howard delivered hts ne lecture, “Lights and Shadows of Real Lif, to a large audience at the Church of Our Father. He was introduced by Congress- man William C. Oates as one of Alabama’ most gifted sons. For an hour and a half Mr. Howard held the close attention of Mis audience. His humor fs bright. sparkling, while his pathos moved his audience to tears. At,times he is highly dramatic. His transformation from Jekyll to Hyde, made under the full glare of the electric lights, without the use of a wig or other stage trickery, was loudly applauded. He is an orator of great ability, and a young man with a brilliant future. Metzerott Hall.—Tonight Mr. George Grossmith will appear at Metzerott Hall in a program that will be entirely different from that which he presented last year. Of his ability as an entertainer there can be no question, and there no cne who can so hold the attention of an audience and fur- nish them as much amusement. His success thus far this season in the cities in which he has appeared has been even greater than on the occasion of his first visit to this country, and it is believed that such will be the case in this city. He should be greeted with a crowded house. Seats may be se- cured at Metzerott’s music store. pais Eases i} EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. |The Mass Meeting Called for Last Evening Not Held. A call was issued for a meeting of colored citizens last night at Good Samaritan Temple to discuss the matter of an appro- printe celebration on the 16th of April of this year in commemoration of the emanci- | pation of the slaves in the District. Owing to the inclement weather and other reasons only six persons responded to the call and the meeting was postponed for one week. Chairman W. H. Brown, who was chief marshal of the procession last year, will ide at the meeting. S. E. Jones, who taken an active Interest in celebrations during recent years, will act as secretary. In conversation with « Star reporter. Mr. ‘aid he was opposed to a street parade . because, he said, he thought the citizens had been fully taxed to feed the poor. What he favors is a celebration that will, in some manner, help the suffering | poor. He suggested that in many of the churches donation parties might be held. In this way, he thought, provisions and clothing might be contributed and the nount collected in the various sections | would feed several hundred families for the balance of the winter. —_ The Wadsworth Sule.

Keese, executors and trustees under the will of the late Wm. Brown, the defendants, by Mr. F. H. | Mackey, yesterday filed answer. They ad- mit that the property was sold for $2,535, for an adequate price, deny that Mr. Chase is twenty-two years, and state that his j mother in June, 1891, swore on his trial that he was but seventeen year: of age, | and deny that he has repeatedly a. »1nded his share, and say that he is now in the penitentiary, and in a letter, requests that his share be held until his release, and assert that the amount paid Mary Chase exceeds what is due her. They state that Mary Chase was tried and convicted of manslaughter in February, 1889, and since the death of their father they have arnoyed them; that in the suit brought by the mother the whole matter of sale and disposition of the proceeds wa entered be- fore the auditor, and they have held to the | credit of the complainant William $323.26, to be paid him on reaching majority, and had paid for defendant Mary Chase, on the charge of manslaughter, $300, and for Wm. Chase, on a charge of burglary, $100; and state they would be glad to be relieved of the trusts, and submit as to the trouble | and expense that they have been put to if the expenses of counsel, etc., should Rot be charged against complainants, and | the case be referred to the auditor. ——— - LAUREL, The firm of Phelps & Shaffer, who have been engaged in business here for several years, has been dissolved and the Phelps Shaffer Company regularly organized. With | increased facilities and larger capital the new corporation will extend the already large business. The meeting of the citizens called for next Friday night will be, it is expected, largely attended, and the two propositions relative to the bonding of the town will be fully discussed. The first proposition is to bor- Tow $30,000 on long-time bonds, say thirty years, take up the outstanding sidewalk Joan of $10,000, less $3,000 in the sinking fund, pay off the balance of $1,200 on the city hall and use the balance of $21,800 in macadamizing the streets. This, it is as- serted, can be done without any increase of taxes. The other proposition 1s to issue bonds for $48,000, take up the existing debt and with the remainder improve the streets. That is, where streets are to be improved compel the property owners on each side of the street to pay one-third of the cost each and the town pay the remaining third. To enable the taxpayers to pay the cost of improvement the proceeds of the bonds will be loaned, to be repaid in six annual in- stallments, with interest. Should either of the propositions be presented to the legisla- ture and become a law, the action of that pany. must be ratified by a vote of the peo- ple. At a meeting of the city council held last night a proposition was submitted by the electric light company to furnish thirty- two candle power lights to burn from 5 o'clock p.m. until 1 a.m., and in the spring, fall and winter to burn from 4:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. for $15 per lamp per annum. The wedding of Miss Lizzie Kelly and Mr. Jerome Bell of South Carolina was solemn- ized today at the residence of the bride's parents, near Laurel. Rev. L. A. Thirlkeld, pastor of Centenary M. FP. Church, officiated. After the ceremony and the wedding dinner was over the happy. couple departed for their home in the south.
