A great crowd of gamblers from Washington were given the first chance in several weeks of playing the horses, and as books were made on the various winter racing meetings throughout the country the sporting element of both Washington and Alexandria enjoyed the same _ privileges which were theirs at the now deserted Jackson City. The Mushbach law, it is understood, per- mits gambling on the race tracks of state fair associations and also on other regularly incorporated tracks, and in order to come within the provisions of the law the man- ager of the track, J. M. Hill of Alexandria, provided three alleged trotting races at the track yesterday. The so-called races were trotted, but, of course, little attention was paid to them, the crowd devoting themselves to the real purpose of the occasion—that of the povisellers. An old barn had been fitted for the accommodation of the bookles and their patrons, and wires were run tnfo the building from the various winter tracks now in operation throughout country. A big business resulted, and it nnounced that in a few days the was gamblers would be accommodated by the er tion of a commodious building, with convenience. it was also stated that the track would be enlarged to a full nile track, and that in the event of the failure of Congress to provide for racing in the District a season of continuous racing would be shortly inaugurated at that point. The Governor Determined. By those who profess to be well ac- quainted with all the inside facts in the matter it is stated that while the Mush- back law was really aimed at the d Struction of Jackson City it also had an- other purpose, and that was the removal! of the gamblers from Jackson City to the Gentlemen's Driving Park and the butld- ing up of the latter place as a gambling resort. The closing up of Jackson City recently and the opening yesterday of gambling at the Gentlemen's Driving Park are pointed out as ¢ onfirming the state- ent. It is understood, however, that O’Ferrall ts determined that the lat- ter place shall not be made a reproach to the state, and it is sald that when he was in this city recently he informed an in- timate friend that he would crush out the gambling element if it took all the forces of the state to do so. It is stated that the attention of the governor was called to the fact that gambling would be re- sumed at the Gentlemen's Driving Park | under the blind of giving so-called races there. when, it is sald, that the governor said that he could not be hoodwinked in that manner, and that he would stop it in short order and in the most summary manner. Gov. O'Ferrall is said to be a man of the most determined character and one who is well acquainted with the pur- poses and plans of the gamblers, and his friends declare that he will clean out this latest gambling resort in short order. One y in which the governor will ktll_ the scheme, it ts said, will be to arrest, under an old law of the state, every person found gambling or patronizing gambling at the track, and it is ated t governor will not reiy upon the dria county officers to make such and prosecute the arrested partie: will appoint special officers for that pur- pose. Alexan- a CAPT. NOWELL’S FUNERAL. The Well-Known River Man Lowered to His Rest. The funeral of Capt. William D. Nowell, the master who died aboard his craft, the Harry Randall, took place Sunday. Owing to illness at the home, the funeral tcok place from Lee's Chapel, and the Epis- copal ritual was conducted by Rev. Dr. Tongue, rector of Grace Episcopal Church. | The organizations of which the dead man was a member, and which were present, were John A. Rawlins Post, Department of the Potomac, G. A. R., Washington Har- bor, No. 31, American Association of Mas- | ters and Pilots of Steam Vesels, and Osage Tribe, Improved Order of Red Men. The pallbearers were chosen from these organi- zations. Among the floral remembrances were the following: A reproduction of the steamboat Harry Randail, in white roses, carnations, violets and smilax, sent by Capt. E. S. Randal!, Mrs. Randall and the} Misses Randall; a mammoth anchor of tube- roses, from the crew of the Harry Randall; a sheaf of wheat and a sickle wrought in Violets, from the crew of the Samuel J. Pentz; a pilot wheel of roses, from the crew of the steambecat Matiano, which Capt. Nowell commanded for a number of years; a broken shaft of white roses and forget- me-nots, from the Marine Engineers’ Asso- ciation; an American fiag and staff in tube- roses, lets and carnations, from Wash- ington Harbor, No. 31, A. A. M. A. P. 8S. V., and anchor from Mesdames Riddle and Murray, a pillow from Mrs. Weber, and many other testimoniais of esteem and sor- row were told in blossoms. The casket was of rich model, covered with black cloth and mounted in silver. it, Around ceremon: pursuant to the Grand Army was a large American flag.

At Alexandria a @rowd of about 500 people in carriages and on foot received the funeral party. Then byterian .cemetery was reached. asket was Taised that the Alexandria friends might look at the dead man. Re! Dr. Tongue said a few touching prayer: the Red Men went through their ritual and Capt. Sutton of Washington Harbor read the captain's charge from the funeral cere- monial of the Masters and Pilots’ Associa- tion, and Capt. Todd read the prayer. The hody was lowered, and the earth thrown in. Gradually the mourners dispersed. >. — Miss Welch's ure Yesterday. “A Great Proprietary.” Uader this at- tractive title Miss Jane Meade Welch yes terday treated the colonizauion of Mar; land in the fourth of the series of lectures on our “Colonial History." During her last season's visit to England Miss Welch spent much time in the British Museum, where she examined many of the original docu- ments on which our coloaial history is based. Among these is the Avalon patent, which was the model for the first charter of Maryland, as drawn up by jeorse Cal-| vert, the first Lord Baltimore. The fall cf this proprietary government “without a crime” closed the more serious and tech cal basis of her iecture, which was followed by a portrayal of the social life of planta- tion times and the influence of negro sla ery in its politico-economie aspect.

Albaugh’s.—There was a big audience at Albaugh’s last night to see Mr. David Hen- derson’s American Extravaganza Company in “Sinbad,” and it is drawing it mild to say that the beautiful spectacle was greatly enjoyed. It is a magnificent show, occi- dental in the wealth of its display, Ameri- can in its originality of performance and Chicagoesque in the gorgeousness of presen- tation. It is the old story of “Sinbad” Chicagoized, and it is simply immense, that’s all. As is generally an extravagan- za, this is a burlesque outburlesqued. It is in very many places extremely funny. The scenery and costumes are beautiful beyond compare, and the effects in the varying lights of the splendid spectacle are wonder- ful. The cast is a large one, including many shapely young women. The Sinbad of Miss Royce and the Ninetta of Miss Raymond | were pleasing, and there isn’t one woman in ten thousand who is brave enough to make such a sight of herself as Miss Ada Deaves in her character of Maraschina. But her courage wins for her a place on the very top story. Eddie Foy is the chief burlesquer, and Eddie, while not being a refined hu- morist, is hijariously funny, and his voice, after another hard winter, will entitle him to the honor of being called the male Patti. Eddie's voice is funny, and he uses it for that purpose. The legitimate musical fea- tures of the performance gre strong in several instances. The dances—ballet and serpentine—were good, especially the bal- lets by the Irmler sisters and Mile. Moran- do. In the boxes were Mrs. Cleveland, with Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle, Gen. Clarkson, | Representative Fletcher and party, Control ler Eckels and party, and others. sw National Theater.—Dear old “Robin Hood"—for the opera is gi tting around to a place where the theater goer who loves to adopt a reminiscent tone speaks of it in terms of affable familiarity—was given by the dear old Bostonians to a crowded house last night. But plays were not made for first nighters alone, and actors who have ability and the training that Barna- | bee, Karl, McDonald and Jessie Hartlett Davis have are bound to be Welcome al- wa “Robin Hood” is perhans the most | edifying musical work that this counts | has produced, being so substantial in its | merits as to endure and yet so tuneful as to satisfy the popular ear. Two new peo- ple appeared last night, Miss Margaret Reid and Miss Mena Cleary. Miss Keid was a delightful Maid Maria; pleasant to see, delightful to hear and quite compe- tent to do justice to the dramatic require- ments of the role. Miss Cleary as Anna- bel proved competent and pleasing. It should be remembered t the curtain rises promptly at 8 o'clock and that late comers not only spoil the enjoyment cf those who are prompt in attendance, but themselves lose the charming music’ with which the opera opens. Academy of Music.—Last evening the Academy of Music was filled with another large and interested audience, who, in com- pany with Mr. Stoddard, the’ lecture, took a trip from Japan across the China sea, and had a further insight into the novelties and curious features of oriental life. 1t was the third of the regular course | of Stoddard lectures and in some ways |the most interesting yet given. It dealt j with “China,” a country, which is even |less familiar to the average audience than Was Japan. In introducing his lecture Mr. Stoddard said that China was well worthy the attention of the world for three matters in which it excels all other nations. These are the antiquity of its government, the immense number of its | Population and the amazing industry of its people. Of the first characteristic of China, Mr. Stoddard said that other gov- ernments are as things of a day compared with a nation that has had the same form of government for almost untold centuries, Of a republic the Chinese may well say | that we should wait until it has been tried | before we call it a succesd, for to him a century of lite seems small compared with 4,000 years. The vast extent of China, with its teeming millions, was also gone into at some length. He gave the population of the country at 400,000,000, and tried to sive his audience some idea of what figures like these mean when he said that the gov- ernor of a single province held sway over more than sixty millions of people. Of her industry, China was once what the United States Is today, the home of invention, If Europe had gone to China to learn she might have had printing, gunpowder and many of the arts long befcre she did. China saw a daily paper started in the first cen- tury of our eca that has appeared every day since then. Mr. Stoddard took his hearers from Japan across the China sea and landed them at the town of Victoria, Hong Kong. To many {in the audience the views he gave of the stately and imposing city with noble bufld- ings, magnificent water works, built not for the day, but for all time, furnished a gen- ulne surprise. It was not the sort of Chi- nese city they had expected to see. This, however, is the British city, where her power and influence are paramount. While speaking of the influence of England in China, Mr. Stoddard took oceasior to score our cousins roundly for forcing upon this people the evils of the opium habit, com- pelling them to admit in trade what no | English druggist dare sell today unless It |be labeled “poison.” This was the where- | fore of the Chinese war when Great Britain \compelled the defeated nation to pay an immense war indemnity, to surrender the island of Hong Kong, to open five more |ports to foreign trade and to admit the introduction of oplum in order that tht product of India might find a market. Ii the English can call us worshipers of the almighty dollar, said the lecturer, it can be ‘truthfully said that the adoration it re- ceives is as nothing to that which is rei dered to pounds, shillings and pence. Canton was a city more in line with what the audience expected to see and Mr. | Stoddard’s description of this crowded, busy, ill-smelling, unsanitary city with Its sordid and unattractive population interested the audience extremely, even though It did give them the same impression that his visit gave Mr. Stoddard, that China was an interesting place to see, but the only ‘country that one would never want to go back to. The Chinese hate all strangers In their midst, calling them “foreign dev- ils" and taking no pains to hide jheir en- mity. In point of cleanliness, morality happiness and general all-round attractive- ness, the Chinese compare very badly with the Japanese. Some features of Chinese life, however, are surprising. China, stern monarchy as it is, has the most elaborate | civil service in the world, with promotions | based solely on merit. It has no class wii | hereditary privileges; every man can rise to highest wealth, prominence, power and lame, but it must be by his own ability and efforts. The inside life of the Chinege, the small feet of aristocratic ladies, Me | river populations, and many other features like these, were gone into in an interest- ling way, and gave many people a better idea than they have ever had before of what China actually ts. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—Thit rollicking comedy, the funniest of all plays, “Peck's Bad Boy,” was given last night at the Bijou by ‘a company of considerable merit. The house was crowded when the curtain | went up, which was a practical illustration | that that irrepressible youigster was still |a favorite with the people. The . 3 | been seen here before, but the addition of | several new features has made it almost |new again and added additional interest. | The company numbers among its members | several artists high in the variety world [and their specialties were pleasing.

Swift, which paved the way for an excellent olio which contained a number of clever specialties. Johnny Du- gan, by Messrs. Ricnmond, Russeil, and Ferguson, was clever, and aliss’ Marie Stuart jumped into popular favor as a seriv-comic. Miss Lydia eamias: assisted by F. J. Titus, was entertaining. She is sprightly, sings ‘well, dances ex, llently, and is full of vim. She has a per- sonality entirely her own, and wins the emphatic applause of her audiences by the merit of her work. Miss Kate Field’s Lecture.--For the first | time in the history of the prohibition move- ment a woman publicly advances aa argu- ment against the wisdom of prohibitory laws.

Zion Baptist Shurch, ccrner 12th and E streets northeast, was crowded to the doors to listen to the first preseniation of the lecture on the Ford's Theater dis: ter by Mr. Yorrick W. Smith. Mr. Smith told in a graphic manner the story of that dreadful calamity and presented a large number of stereopticon views representing the scenes of the tragedy, which were ex- plained ond commented upon in a most interesting way. a THE GOOD CITIZEN. iHs Duty in Municipal Affairs Discus- wed by the Congregational Clab. The annual meeting of the Washington Congregational Club was held last night jat Congregational Church. A busin meeting was first held, at which officers were elected and committees chosen fer the ensuing year, as follows: President, Justice David J. Brewer; vice presidents, Dr. 8. Newman, Frank L. Campbell, J. E. Rankin and A. P. man; secretary G. A. L. Merrifield; trea All executive committee, Prof. Isaac Clark, Rev. 8. N. Brown and Prot. J. W. Chicker- ing; outlook committee, Rev..C, N.

Kingsley; reception comm Rev. M. R. Fishburn, Prof. George Cummings, John B. Sleman, jr., Prof. A. Hazen, Jezome F, Johnson and Fred D. Fishback. The membership of the club was enlarged by the following admissions: Loring Chapelle, Mrs. A. 3. Caywood, Rev. B. W. Pond and Mr. Irving Vinal. The Annual Dinner. At the close of the business meeting the club adjourned to the lecture room, where dinner was served under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the First Con- gregational Church. The viands were all that were needed to pique the taste of the fastidious, and the ease and freedom with which all participated in the feast showed plainly how well it was enjoyed The beauty of the floral decorations reflected the decorative judgment of the ladies. Great beds of tulips blossomed at close intervals on the board, and twining greens added to the charm of the time. the feast of meat came the flow of soul. The subject of all the talks Good Citizen in Municips tor Manderson was the first spe Senator thought that many reforms were needed. He believed that the time was not so far distant when municipalities would own the electric plants, their water works, transportation service and other of those things which the conservative socialists earnestly desire. should yote. More intelligence was needed at elections. “Base the suffrage on Ameri- can intelligence,” said the Senator, with strong emphasis on the word American. The times were full of troubles, trials and disturbances, but he thought that every- thing would come out all right, and that the present discontent was simply like the boiling pot, which, after a while, would produce better gruel. He looked forward with hopeful eyes to that time when the council chamber would be as orderly and as hallowed as the church. He could see the municipality of the future guarding | the rights of its people as zealously as the rights of a child would be guarded by its parents. Mrs Emily Hort followed in a creditably-rendered recitation called “Mr. Joseph Berkel and in response to an encore gave another, entitled “Mr. Jones.” Justice Brewer's Address, Justice Brewer addressed the club on the duties of American citizenship, advo- cated woman suffrage because each woman would vote twice; once for herself ar once through her husband. {t used to b a formula of marriage, said the justice, for the bride-elect to promise to obey, but he had yet to see the first couple where the wife did not rule the husband. He spoke of the anomalous position filled t the District of Columbia in the politics world. But the reason for this lay in the fact that all the vast and migaty interests at the national capital were not alone the WwW interests of the District of Columbia, but of the states. The greatest question of the day was the correct management of mu- nictpal affairs. Some American’ cities were the victims of mismanagement. The riff. raff went to cities as naturally 23 a duck to water. Vice went where it was profita- ble to go. Prof. Chickering gave his views as to what good citizenship should consist of. Mr. J. W. Somerville favored a property qualification. He thought that a man With property would vote more carefully and take a more honest interest in public affairs than would a man without prop- erty. Prof. Ewell told of the superior agement of certain English cities, they assumed greater burdens than can cities of corresponding size. Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens also spoke and told of bow glad she was that the cause of woman suf- frage was making conve They felt as much interest in public affairs did men, They stood on the threshold of willingness, Try them and see how sacred they would be to the trust reposed in them. Mr. T. F. Green thought that a man who could not read his ballot was not capable of do- ing the part of an intelligent voter. He also sald some strongly American. things about allowing some people to vote too soon after landing. Mrs. Crandall told of certain points of superiority which woman had over man. Rev.
