Loretta Brown and her two female coim- Panions were charged with having disturb- ed the peace of the alley. Loretta was | walking with a man named Gleason when Bertha Bond came along and said: “Hello, Gleason, are you sober?” “Don’t you see I'm sober?” returned the colored man with the Irish name. Then Loretta took a hand in the discus- sion and exhibited a feeling of jealousy which was foliowed by profane words, so it was charged. “Six of one and half a dozen of the other,” remarked the court. “If there was an officer in the case to tell of the language used I would fine the whole crowd.” The failure of an officer to appear as a witness resulted in Loretta and her com- panions getting back their money and es- caping a possible term on the farm. Michael Dorsey, a little man attired in a blue suit and a blue satin tie by which he could be singled out of a crowd of any size, appeared in the motley crowd and had an excuse to offer. It was suspected that he had squandered all his pension money in “sport,” and his appearance this morning wa8 decidedly that of an old sport in tough luck. His face was as red as a beet and there were numerous scars about his eyes and forehead for which he could not account. “Well, Mike,” said Bailiff! Kendig after the court had heard testimony against him, drank two or three beers affected my head.” “That's what it usually does,” remarked the court, “and sometimes it also affects the feet.”” Michael's offense was not an ordinary one, but in consideration of his condition the penalty imposed was only $10 or thirty days. “Yes, I am guilty,” said Clara Wallace, sn't a square deal to let the other girl go and arrest me.” She will pay a fine of $ or go down, A Famillar Face.

Loutsa Was very loud and profane, and the penal- ty in her case was $10 or thirty days, while Ada was given half that amount.

Back Agai Robert Beebe, a bald-headed citizen, who returned to this city after an absence of a number of years, was accused of being a drunkard. He thought he had the right of a tria’ by jury, but the court informed him cates contrary, and then he made a long state- ment of his case, in which he denied the charge. “I don't dress up in good clothes, my hair in the middle and walk the hue,” he said. “Neither do I bum links or focd. I'm subject to epilepsy and the police sey I am drunk.” “Yeu're too old a bird to focl me, the judge: “You have been h yee eften. Whisky is the cause of your trou- ble and not epilepsy.” “But, your honor, you've been misin- formed. I've only been in six of the 310 saloons in the city and I've got builet holes in my head that I received before some of these policemen were thought of.” “Bullet holes have nothing to do with drinking liquor and you will have to gO down a few ys. When you get out you had better k the city, and the sooner you leave che better it will be for both yourself and the police.” Two Curious Arrests. A hard-working little colored boy named Clifton Fauntleroy, who drives a cart to help support his mother, was in line with the old and hardened criminals. He had committed what Policeman Harrover thought was a serious offense. He had driven his cart nearer another vehicle than the law allows. “Has this little boy been locked up all night?” asked the judge,who did not intend to prevent the boy’s earning his own liv- ing. part es, sir,” was the boy's response. Then take his personal bonds.” Before court adjourned the bailiff calied the name John H. Cook. The defendant was on collateral and the charge against him was walking on the grass in the Smithsonian grounds. Cook is employed by the gas company to pump water out of the pipcs and h2 was walking to one of the plugs in the grounds when Park Watchman Dillon arrested him. Mr. Pugh nolle prossed the case. —_—> —— Geographic Society. eting of the National Geographic Club tomorrow even- "s will speak on the Cosme ing Dr. C. Willard Hay map of the Cha listrict R.

Jezreel Colored Baptist Church for 10 o'clock yesterday morning quite a number met there at that time. The notice was handed Rev. Mr. Stewart, who has been acting pastor for some time, on Sunday decided that it was inexpedient to hold such council. Notwithstanding quite a number gathered as early as 9:30 o'clock and when the doors were opened at 11 o'clock the church was filled. One of the deacons announced that the church did not desire a council held and would not | permit it, and after nearly everybody was talking at once the crowd went out on the park and subsequently a noisy meeting was held, at which it was determined to advise the membership to settle the ques- tions themselves. It is claimed by some that the meeting indorsed the pastor's | course, but this the other side deny and state that they are content that the case now in the Equity Court should determine the status of affairs. a Washington Light Infantry. Col. Moore presided at the regular month- ly business meeting of the Light Infantry last evening. The further consideration of the new constitution was deferred until the April meeting. The following were elected to active mem- | bership: Messrs. John R. Purvis, Geo. |C. Keller, jr., Sidney H. Davis, Harry R. | McCabe, John L. Nolan, James W. Bevans, H. W.

A meeting of the delegates of the various bodies of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows on the celebration of the seventy- | fifth anniversary of the order, occurring | April 26 next, met at Odd Fellows’ Hall, (7th street northwest, last evening, Grand | Master John H. Wood, chairman, and Wm. |P. Allan, secretary. A letter was received from Grand Sire Campbell regretting his inability to be present, and delivering the address, owing to having received and ac- | cepted an invitation previous to receiving (the one from this jurisdiction. The pro- gram, as now mapped out, will consist of a@ parade at 1 o'clock the line to move promptly at 2 o'clock, am march to Con- vention Hall (the route to be determined jlater by the committee on parade), where appropriate exercises will be held. Seats will be provided for the public and the members of the order. These exercises will consist of music, both vocal and instru- mental, and addresses by Senators Martin and Allen. In the evening there will be @ promenade concert and hop, when a small admission fee will be cnarged. It was de- cided that the badges used on the occa- sion of the Capitol centennial celebration |be worn on this occasion. Severat commit- tees were announced by the chairman, and the meeting adjourned to meet again March 21. —>_—_. Sedgwick Command, No. 3. At the regular meeting of Sedgwick Com- mand, No. 3, Union Veterans’ Union, held in Union Veteran Legion Hall, Col. Frank T. Howe presided and much business of in- terest to the command was transacted. The delegates and alternates to the depart- ment encampment were elected as fol- lows: Delegates, Messrs. Wood, Aiton and Chase; alternates, Messrs, Legge, Haskell and Johnson. Lieut. Col. Wood gave some interesting in- formation in regard to the rapid growth ef the order, which he had received in a let- ter from the commander in chief, who ex- | pressed the belief that the department of | the Potomac would this year make the best | showing in its history. The attendance was good and it {s expected that at the next meeting there will be a large number present, as there will be several candidates for muster. This command contains some of the best material in the order in this District and its members seem to exhibit new interest in its prosperity. -— Wants to Change Her Name. Yesterday Cora L.

The chairman further announced that later on it was his intention to divide the gen- eral committee on public comfort into sev- eral subcommittees to take turns in being at the depots and wharves during the ar- rival of the guests. Mr. Haskins said to the committee that according to the estimate of Gen. Carnahan as many as 20,000 knights had already registered for camp in Wash- ington. Of course it was yet too early to make any accurate estimate of the great number of arrivals, or how many would go | into camp. Few persons had made up their | minds so far beforehand. However, quar- | ters had already been assigned to some | Massachusetts men, and requests more or less definite have come in from ten states, including Texas,Alabama, Delaware, several New England states and various other sec- tions of the country. On motion of Mr, Haskins it was decided to change the meeting day from Wednesday every three weeks to any other day in the week most convenient to the members. ‘The | next meeting will take place at Wormley’s | | Hotel on some Friday to be announced | later by the chair. A note was read from | Col. Wright, the vice chairman of the com- | mittee, excusing himself from being present | on account of another engagement and a | vote of thanks was extended to Col. Sta-| ples for the use of the hotel, after which the committee adjourned. There were about twenty-eight men at the meeting. — Series of Lectures. | Burrside Post, No. 8, G. A.

And “What's that?” is the as- tonished question of the stranger, whose eyes fall upon the ugly gray shed, resen- bling a one-horse stall, in front of the grand east portico of the Capitol. But the stall can be dispensed with and the statue be-| come a perpetual adornment by building for it a glassed pavilion, which shall be both a shelter and a graceful and unique addition to the attractions of this city. Allow me to suggest a pentagon of white marble or fair- colored stone; it need not be very costly. The ground form would be thus: an, B. The statue would stand at the center, the present high base being replaced by a low one. Each angle of the pentagon would be formed by a pillar, supporting the roof. The stone fioor should be sufficiently broad | for walking outside the wall. The wall | would consist of a single plate giass on each side, making five windows in all. The! glass could be removed in summer and re- placed in winter, when the statue would still be visible. The pentagonal, or five-cornered figure, is simple, and also restful to the eye. It har- monizes with the statue. Indeed, a win- dowed pavilion of the simplest type would be | preferable to the disfiguring stall. A snow-white pentagon placed among trees and with a spacious grass lawn around it would be very beautiful.
