An important discussion took place in| the board room at the District building Saturday between the Commissioners and | the attorney for the District, Mr. S. T. Thomas.

The rules of practice governing proceed- ings before the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict, recently adopted by the court, after a very deliberate and thorough consideration, Hands of the are now in the hands of the printer, and it is | understood that they will be ready for dis- | tribution in about ten days’ time. The rules will apply to practice before all the branch- es of the court, and will appear in neat pamphlet form, securely bound. There has been considerable speculation among the members of the bar as to the Gate when the new rules will go into effec and that matter is second only in interest the question of what changes in the present rules will be meade by the newly: adopted nes. In speaking with a Star reporter this morning about the matter, Judze Cole stated ; that he was under the impression that the court would, upon the publication of the new rules, issue an order directingsthat they should go into operation on the first day of some month following a reasonable time after their appearance. Should the rules appear in about ten days" e, as he 10w expected, Judge Cole said that he thought the court would direct that they should be- | come operative on the first day in April next. —— AMUSEMENTS, Mary Howe's Concert.—Mary Howe's suc- cess abroad has been such as to excite general interest amongst musicians, apd will be a great source of satisfaction to her thousands of friends and admirers through- out the country. Since her last appearance in this section, two years ago, she has been pursuing her studies in company with Mr. Lavin, and during the last six months they have been doing concert work fn [taly and Germany. The financiai depression in Italy, however, so affected musical matters trere that on receiving a fine offer‘from Mr. Her- man Wolff, the leading German manager, they went to Berlin, waere they have been ted since December, and singing in the different German cities. At Hamburg, Ja a the Ven Bulow Philharmonic Orchestra, she had one of the greatest ovations ever given a singer, being called and recailed many times. At Berlin, where both Mr. and Mrs. Lavin sang at the Philharmonic Society, | January 20, their suecess was even greater, jand the press notices from every sin: ple paper in both cities were generous and hearty in praise of the “American singing ir,” as they were termed. These notices entire, with translation, have been reprint- ed here, to couvince every one that this suc- cess was genuine and not forced. Their appearance in this city, therefore, Friday, March 2, will have an added interest, be- cause of this addition to their previous gcod name, and will be an interesting event, musically, this season. Seats are now on sale at Metzerott’ Mr. Simon Wolf's Lecture.—The next lec- ture in the course under the auspices of the Young Men's Hebrew Association will be given in the Eighth Street Synagogue tomorrow night. Mr. Simon Wolf will be the lecturer and he will speak upon the life of the late Adolph L. Sanger, one of the most prominent Israelites in America, and who was at the time of his death presi- dent of the board of education of New York city. well known, and he will undoubtedly make his subject of unusual interest. Mme. Yale's Lecture.—On Saturday after- moon next Mme. M. Yale will deliver a lecture at Metzerott Hall to ladies only, in which she will demonstrate that beauty can be cultivated and youth restored ad preserved. Mme. Yaie is a woman of sur- passing beauty, and although now forty-one years of age, looks as fresh and lovely as any girl at eighteen. She illustrates in her own case her preservative method, and will tell her auditors how they may take ad- vantage of her experience and stay the ravages of advancing years. Champion Jim at Metzerott Hall.—John Donaldson, the trainer of James J. Corbett, the champion of the world. arrived in the city last night. Mr. Donaldson ts here for the purpose of arranging the preliminary details for the big boxing exhibition at Metzerott’s Hall tonight. In addition to the large program of boxing, wrestling and vaudeville for the night, including sparring and bag-punching by Corbett, a consider- able local -bill has been arranged. One of the bouts will be between Joe Bateman, the trainer at the Columbia Athletic Club, and Delaney, the champion light weight of New York. Other local bouts will be between Johnnie Bolger and Mike Boutcher, light weights; Ed. Roach and Mike Raedy, heavy weight: jack Bolan and an unknown, ‘ight weights, and Dave Carroll and Glen Tailor. The latter will add to the wrestling portion of the program. Besides these local fea- tures, there will be a high-class variety per- formance, including well-known people. The exhibition will be thoroughly first-class in every respect. One of the first boxes taken for the show was bought by the wife of ex- Gov. Carroll of Maryland. Society has con- tributed largely toward a big sale. It és announced that this ent¢rtainment will be refined and at the same time scientific. Mr. Corbett will appear twice. Once in his ex- hibition of “bag-punching,” and again in a three-round contest with John Donaldson, his trainer and sparring partmer. The cham- pion will wear the same suit in which he fought Mitchell. The program is a long one and will consist of the best talent. > : Fair at Masonic Temple. The joint fair given last week by Hope Council, No. 1, DaugBters of Liberty, and Putnam Council, No. 2, U. A. M., will be continued this evening and tomorrow. In view of the praiseworthy objects of the fair, and the many attractive features of the entertainment itself, the attendance ought to be large and liberal. A handsome ring was presented on Saturday evening to Mr. Harry Park, the well-known bicyclist, who has entertained the fair audiences nightly with his remarkable feats in fancy riding, on behalf of the two organizations. Miss Emma Greenwell made a neat little presentation speech. For this evening and tomorrow,variuus militia organizations have been invited, and the popular arrangement of placing the floor after 10 o’clock at the disposal of those whu wish to dance will be continued. eee Order of the World.

SALES Sees The Capital City Dramatic Company. The Capital City Dramatic Company made its first bow to the public at the hall of the Martyn College of Oratory on Friday, and when the time came the curtain rose on a sea of interested faces, while some could not even get within the portals to catch a glimpse of the coming Siddons, Jeffersons, Bernhardts and Irvings beyond. The com- pany is a new one, made up of the leading figures in a number of amateur dramatic organizations of the city, and three bright and lively plays were presented. An amusing one-act farce, “Obliging a Friend,” was first performed, with Mr. Robert W. Test, Mr. Edwards, Miss Jane R. Young and Miss Grace Ross. Miss Helen Biddis was last moment, and Miss Alice Irwin came to the rescue, taking her place and doing excellently. The secohd thing on the bill was of pecullar interest in that it was an original one-act drama by two of the chief organizers of the company, Mr. Will- iam T. Kirby and Mr. Philip H. Buckler, and was successfully presented for the first time about a year ago. Mr. Kirby won much applause for his work, as did Mr. | Buckler also, and Miss Alice Irwin gave one of the most genuinely artistic presentations jof the evening. The entertainment was | brought to a close with that sparkling little | sketch, “Ruth's Romance,” in which Miss Lou Ennis, Mr. Buckle, and Mr. Kirby were seen to good advantage. The manager of ; the company is Mr. William T. Kirby, and Mr. P. H. Buckler acted as stage manager for the performers, while the music was supplied by an orchestra under the direction of Prof. Chase. The members of the Capital | City Dramatic Company include Miss Alice | Irwin of the East Washington Dramatic | Company, Miss Lou Ennis of the Unexpected Guests Company, Miss Grace Ross, leading | lady in the Washington Amateur Dramatic Company; Miss Jane R. Young of the Rivals Company, Miss Helen Biddis of the Wash- ington Amateur Dramatic Company, Mr. Robert W. Test, last summer with Charles B. Hanford in “Ingomar;” Mr. D. M. Ed- pectad Guests Company, and Messrs. William T. Kirby and P. H. Buckler, also of the East Washington Dramatic Company. —_._——_ Phote-Mechanical Engra: ro In‘his last lecture at the National Mu- seum, Mr. Koehler began the description of the photo-mechanical processes of en- graving. “These methods,” he said, “were the consequence of the commercial spirit of the nineteenth century. Photography was introduced as an agent because it was more accurate in its delineations than even the most skillful artists, and in many scientific researches it is almost indis- LF sg ble. Nature moves by unvarying laws, and must produce a faithful copy of the original. Photography alone, however, is slow and costly, and has other draw- backs, so it is used only to produce a copy from which others may be printed. This method of engraving is not the outgrowth of the wonderful development of the art of photographing, but the latter is the out- growth of the former. One great drawback in photography is that, as yet, we are un- able to reproduce different colors satisfac- torily, and it even changes the general ef- f of the color of the original in some 's, although this is now, in a great measure, overcome by the ortho-chromatic process. Aithough this method is intended to do away with the necessity for skillful artists and engravers, it is still necessary to use a great amount of skill in each of the various stages that are gone through with. We may sul) look for great develop- ment in this art, which is of compara ly | recent origin. By this method any of the | three kinds of engraving, relief, intaglio and plano-graphic, may be produced.” The lecturer gave a short description of the chemical changes that occur in pho- tography, with practical illustrations of the more ordinary chemicals used. He also expluined the difference between a negative and a positive, after which he spoke of the different properties of albumen and gela- tine, as used in photography. Wherever practicable, views were shown, lilustrating the various features that made | up the text of the lecture. ‘This subject will be continued next Tues- day evening. > —— To Aid a Hospital. The Midway Plaisance will be represented on Wednesday evening at Metzerott Hall in a most amusing and attractive manner by the friends of the Homeopathic Free Dis- pensary and Emergency Hospital, to raise | funds in support of that much needed char- | ity. The entertainment will be given under | | the patronage of Mrs. Vice President Stev- | enson and many other prominent ladies. No effort has been spared to make the occasion exceptionally enjoyable. In addition to the | many attractions provided, the evening will close with a promenade concert. Among the | attractions will be native Armenians, Arabs, ostriches, elephants, camels, the street of | Cairo, the yodlers from the Swiss Alps, | &e, &e. | eee = Meant No Harm. Edward P.

Constitution Used as Authority for a Contention. A peculiar point was recently raised by West Steever, an attorney for certain li- quor men, in which he claimed that the Constitution had been violated. His cleim- ants asked for a return of 9 per cent of the amount paid by each of them for whole- sale liquor licenses which were terminated October 81, 189. The sum claimed rep- resents the difference between the amounts paid by them for wholesale licenses under the old law and the amount paid by them for such licenses under the law of March 8, 1898. It was claimed on the part of the claimants that by the decision of the Court of Appeals in the District against Busch these applicants are exempted from paying license fees at a greater rate than that prescribed by the legislative assembly for wholesale licenses expiring on October 31 last, and further that to make them pay at a higher rate of license, fixed by the new law, is to impose a tax indirectly which Congress could not impose directly without violating the Constitution of the United States. The attorney gave an adverse opinion on the matter, but upon motion of the claim- ants it was re-referred to him for a sup- plementa? report. Attorney Thomas reiterates his opinion and in addition thereto says: “They were all new applicants for liz censes under the new system. They are not among those who surrendered their licenses under duress of the orders of the Commissioners ufter the decision in_ the Police Court in the case District against Busch, and took out licenses under the new law, and paid ratably the difference between the old license fee of $25 and one of 3250. It results that they are not, en- titled to a refund, and I so advise you. Paes FRANK PISTORIO BURIED.

The Turtle Bay Club Cooks for Grid- ironers A Guests. One of the most entertaining of all the dinners given by the Gridiron Club was that last Saturday evening at Wormley’s, when they had with them a delegation from the Turtle Bay Beefsteak Club of New York. This club claims to know more about cooking steaks than any other or- ganization, and they proved a large section of their claim Saturday. They brought with them their own cooking utensils and prepared the tempting morsels in full view of the other guests, showing that there was no attempt at deception, and that nothing but real steaks were used. Servants were dispensed with for fear some one would keep tally on the number of steaks eaten, but just the same a leather medal was presented to ex-Speaker Reed for showing the greatest capacity in this line. In addi- tion there were speeches and songs to make the evening pleasant and memorable.

Referring to his crusade against the slot |machines, District Attorney Birney stated today that they do not include those where the patron obtains value for his money without the attachment of any chance, his purpose merely being to reach only those used for purposes of gambling, such as machines where the dropping of the nick- el shakes the dice for which one receives cigars ording to the number of spots he succeeds in turning up and those where | the nickel rolls down past an array of pins, bringing the possessor three nickels if it brings up in one corner and a cigar if it rolls into the other.
