CABELL, Principals, TOPIA, LIMITED.” Gilbert and Sullivan's Latest Comic Opera Presented, It is four years since a new one of Gilbert and Sullivan's comic operas was put on the stage in America. The spell was broken last evening by the production at New York of their latest tuneful jingle, “Utopia, Lim- ited; or, the Fiowers of Progress.” Gilbert's libretto is full of the wit and satire that made “The Bab Ballads” part of the im- mortals of versification, it teils the story of how the inhabitants of Utopia, a South Pacific island, living in “lazy* languor, dreaming of nothingness,” their very “political opinions formed for them by the journals to which they sub- scribe,” have been bitten by acute Anglo- mania. They acknowledge the glory of England, and believing that their own Utopia might be conquered into a similarly powerful country, they resolve to adopt English manners and customs. Their king's daughter, the Princess Zara, has been sent for her education to Girton, the Mnglish | Vas: r. While she is away the “two wise” Scaph > and Phanus, for thei ses, rule the king, Pa ation, as upon his very first “lapse from political or social proprietor,” the public exploder, Calynt—a timid official who pulls crackers to accustom himself to the sound of explosives—must blow up his majesty with nitro-glycerine. This “des- potism tempered by dynamite” has some paradoxical results. The king, who: pri- vate life is beyond suspicion,” is compelled “to write libels upon his own moral char- acter” in a scurrilous paper called the “Pal- ace Keeper,” every copy of which is event- uaily bought up by himself. He has even been obliged to produce a comic opera, in| which his personal imperfections are heid up to public opprobrium. His daughter, just returned from Girton, resolves to cure all this by introducing from England a half dozen “imported flowers of progress,” under whose guidance the kingdom is to be reor- ganized upon the British plan. In their process of this evolution the melodious fund is made. ——— +e- HE WAS A> TAMMANY LEADER. A New York I n Charged With Selling Natu antion Papers. Vincenzo de Vito, an Italian,charged with procuring naturalization papers by fraud and perjury end selling them for $15 for examination Thursday. naturalization that takes place in New York just before every registration has seemed suspicious to a good many people. Applicants presented themselves in such large numbers that perjury could have been committed without detection, and probably has been. But that a regular busin made of the sale of the fraudulent papers was hardly believed until the facts in de Vito’s case were presented. Now it is charged that in this criminal enterprise he had several rivals, and one of them, a banker in Canal street, New York, is keep- ing out of the reach of the Brooklyn de- tectiv De Vito, who was caught, is engaged in a peculiar business combination of bank- ing, politics and selling liquor. The prin- cipal business of his bank is in issuing exchange for his Italo-American friends In politics he is a supposed leader of the Italians for Tammany Hall, and in that position he has been very useful to the wigwam in piling up majorities in the lower | wards of the city. De Vito would march to the polls on election day a long line of his friends, most of whom could speak but little English, and would vote them for Tammany.

His Interview With the Committee From the Different Churches— Much Feeling Displayed. The committee, composed of one member each from the official boards of nearly all the Methodist churches in the Washington ‘district, called on Bishop Hurst last night | to request him to transmit to Bishop Fowler a protest against the removal of Rev. H. R. | Naylor as presiding elder of the district and |a request for his reinstatement. The gentle- | men constituti }Son, Foundry; E. I. Booream, Hamline; Alex- jander Ashley, Union; James E. Evans, |Grace; B. T. Welsh, Waugh; J. S. Power, | Gorsuch; W. H. Houghton, Fifteenth Street; | ston, Anacostia; A. O. Latham, McKendree, and J. F. Stoek, Kensington, jerfere. | Bishop Hurst entertained the visitors for | over two hours, but refused to receive the protest or to interfere in any manner in be- | half of the object for which the committee was formed. He based his reasons for such declination upon the grounds that the offi- clal boards of the various churches which had taken action in the matter had no legal right to do so according to the rules of Methodist discipline. He was asked if there would be any notice taken of the protest if it was made by the unanimous vote of the members of the various churches, and he re |Plied that even such action could not be considered, as the acts of a bishop could only be examined into by a general conf ence and only then when charges of malad- ministration were brought against him. Much Feeling Displayed. Hundreds of questions were volleyed at the bishop by his callers and while both sides did their utmost to keep their com- posure much feeling was displayed. This was particularly the c Hurst, after disclaiming any connection with the removal of Dr. Naylor or any communication with him as to the deposed elder’s reinstatement, read three letters from Bishop Fowler to himself in which the bishop said he was familiar with the movement in progress in Washington, but that his action in Dr. Naylor's case would have to stand. Some of the committeemen wanted to know the cause of these letters being sent, but Bishop Hurst did not answer. The Committee's Intentio: The committee now intend to send the protest direct to Bishop Fowler, and there is already a lively effort being made to canvass the Methodists of this district and get them as a body to appeal! to the next general conference for relief from what they openly claim is the one-man power in the church, as shown, they say, by Bishop Hurst's declaration that the combined and unanimous request of every Methodist in the District for Dr. Naylor's reinstatement would be illegal under the rules of disci- pline and worthless, so far as it could af- fect a past ruling of a bishop. One Committeeman’s Views. One of the gentlemen who was with the committee last night said this morning: “The bishop's action in this matter plain- ly shows he has been active in his efforts to secure from Bishop Fowler his views in advance of the presentation of these formal protests, and was therefore prepared to tell —that any effort the committee might make was forestalled. Their cause had been tried in advance of the evidence and judgment given according to prearranged plans. It is plainly evident that no effort has been spared to counteract the movement of the various churches, and to preclude, as far as possible, any favorable action looking to the restoration of Dr. Naylor. “Bishop Hurst's contention that official boards or quarterly conferences have no power to act in this matter is hardly in con- sonance with the well-known practice of bishops, who receive and often ask for ex- pressions from these same bodies as to their wishes concerning the appointments under their control; so that if no power rests with these bodies in one case, it must follow that in accepting their petitions in others plainly inculpates a bishop in a violation of the very law which he so tenaciously claims should be upheld. While Bishop Hurst re- fuses to act for the churches who have protested against the unjust act of his col- leagues, and declines even to forward their petitions and protests, he does not hesitate to accumulate evidence on the other side, nor does he refrain from telling the com- mittee that he is in full sympathy with this opposition, and makes use of the letters he has received to show the committee that the small minority against the movement is greater than the large majority tavormg it, and that a small minority, with a bishop back of it, amenable to ao one, is mightier than all others. This seems to be the situ- ation. At the Preachers’ Meeting. “At the preachers’ meeting yesterday, he continued, “a resolution was offered in sympathy with the efforts to secure the res- toration of Dr. Naylor, but the presence of Bishop Hurst and Dr. Wilson, who spoke at length, seems to have the effect for the present at least of non-action. Evidently the feeling, though smothered, is abroad among the members that the injustice com- |plained of by Bishop Fowler is not alone shared by the laity. “While the Methodist Church, with its |5,000 communicants within the borders of |the Washington district, seems to have jbeen shorn of their rignts in this matter, | there is a sentiment abroad that this ques- | tion will broaden and will eventually re- sult in action by the general conference in | restricting the powers and authority of the episcopacy. The agitation of the unwise and arbitrary use of episcopal power will | in the end be productive of good. “While Bishop Hurst declined to receive or forward the papers presented by the committee, he gave them the address of Bishop Fowler at Minneapolis, and sug- ‘gested that they forward the papers direct. This course will be adopted, and whether ‘Bishop Fowler acts upon them or not, he | will have before him the expressed wishes | of the official boards of those churches that | have taken action in the matter, and will know what the feeling is concerning his action.” ———— AMERICANS AT BI LUEFIELDS. yernment ste They Want a Provisional ¢ a the Mone An Associated Press copyrighted dispatch from Colon says: The American colony of the Mosquito reservation, through the Unit- |ea States consul, formally demands trom the Nicaraguan commissioner, Senor I yo, the formation of a provisional govern- ment in which the American colony shall be represented.

The burning question of Alexandria now is that of street and sewer improvements, | and as to sewers the practical question is, | first, where the money shail be raised to do | the Work, and, next, who shall do it? The council is to decide at an early day whether the property holders shall vote on the ques- tion of issuing bonds to raise money for this purpose, and then it is also to be de- cided whether sewers shall be put in by a private company, which has already ap- | plied for leave to do the work, or by the city authorities. Nothing has been deter- mined in reference to this. As to streets, it is of course Known that while there are many improved streets in tis city there are no smvoth on only material which has been employed tor permanent streetways. It is singular how | | mucu early Alexandria believed in tne big- | gest Kina of rocks as proper street pave- ments. It is lite over a hundred years ago since the street paving was begun jhere. ‘Phe first work was done irom the | proceeds of a street lottery, and the com- Bae woners of sireets advertised in this way: “we will give a haif dollar for every ton of stone suitable for paving delivered upon suca Wharf in the town of Alexandria as shalt be directed wnen brought into the port. ‘the stone best caiculated for paving is of an oval kind, weighing from nfteen pounds to sixty pounds anu upward. ‘The money will be paid as soon as the stone is landed. As they propose to begin the bust- Ness as soon as the season will admit, per- sons acquainted with paving may find it an object worth their attenuon and an early application for employment.” Some few of these one-hundred-pound stone may still be seen unmoved in the oider streets, but those | on King street were taken up by the mili- tary governor during the war, broken and relaid very much aiter their present fash- ion. It is proposed now by some to lay @ concrete or a macadamized top to these cobble st nes, so as to make the carriage- way on King street smooth, The movement of the merchants here, communicated to The Star yesterday, to se- cure the building of a new railway station here has already had the effect of securing )aclion on the part of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in that direction. Mr. | Wm. Fowle Brookes, a leading commercial broker here, received a dispatch yesterday afternoon announcing that the general man- ager of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- | pany would come to Alexandria this week |to make arrangements for the erection of | | the new building. Many promises on this subject have been made before, and more than one committee of the city council have held conferences with the local representa- tives of the road upon the subject. Now, however, it is thought that the visit of the general manager to this city will secure the erection of the new building during the coming summer. The Pennsylvania road has a fair area of land on Fayette street, and a proper depot building there would be an accommodation to their patrons and a | Just recognition of Alexandria as the most important station on theWashington South- ern railway. ‘The county court, whose March term was noticed in yesterday's Star, has made an orde> in the case of Tate vs. Lancaster to dismiss an attachment and release Lan- caster's property. The annual Easter election for vestry- men of the three Epicsopal churches took place here yeste-day afternoon, and the vestries of Christ, St. Paul's and Grace Church were unanimously re-elected. For thirty years one of the Episcopal vestry- men elected here every year was George Washington. The provincial of the vierian Brothers, Brother Alexis, with several members of that order, have made a visit to this city and are considering the practicability of establishing a college here. The Xavierians are one of the teaching orders of the Catholic Church, and have charge of the Catholic parochial schools in Richmond. Messrs. James Fegan and Herbert Rose while at work near the toll gate, near the Mahoneyville distillery, yesterday after- | noon saw Dan Corbin, the colored criminal, who escaped from the Alexandria jail last week, and for whose capture a reward had been offered. They at once bore down on the fugative, and, capturing him, brought him into town and lodged him in his old quarters at the jail. Bradley, who broke jail at the same time, is still at large. The concert of Leo Wheat at the Opera House last night drew an appreciative audience, and the renditions were well re- ceived. Messrs. Harvey Bailey of Arlington district, George W. Salisbury of Jefferson district, and H. C. Febrey of Washington district have been re-elected as school trustees of Alexandria county by county electoral board. Messrs. J. J. Jamieson and R. W. Arnold of this city are now in Petersburg, repre- senting the Alexandria Council of the Royal Arcanum in the Grand Council of | that order. The city council will hold its March meeting tonight at the city building. The commissioners appointed by the county court to view the extension of Mt.

Mr. Butt and family were absent from home at the time, and the fire was firrt discovered by neighbors, who succeeded in saving a portion of the furniture on the lower floor. The dwelling was insured for $6) in the Frederick County Mutual Fire Insurance Compony, and there was an ‘msurance of $100 on the furniture. Mr. Hugh L.

A dog showing unmistakable signs of hydrophobla yesterday made its appear- ance at the house of a colored family on the farm of Mr. John Willson, about a mile from this place, and, after aitacking the dogs on the place and attpmpting to bite a child, was driven off by @ colored man, who pursued the animal as far as the residence of Mr. Hezekiah Trail, half @ mile distant. Upcn arriving there the en- raged animal tacked a valuable St. Bernard puppy, and before. the pursuer, who armed only with a club, could interfere, as bitten it badly. The colored man. coming up a minute afterward, boldly attacked the dog, and succeeded in knocking it in the head with his club. The family by this time being aroused to their danger, Mr. William Trail came out with @ shotgun, with which the beast was soon dispatched. As a matter of precaution, the puppy was also killed. The uency of these cases in the neighborhood the past few weeks has caused some ex- citement, Sa M. —_—_—_. The Torture of Dumb Animals. To the Editor of The Evening Star: A walk along the thoroughfares of Wash- ington, or any other city, will bring to the attention many instances of gross abuses inflicted upon man’s best and most valued friend among the lower animals—the horse. Teams heavily loaded and breathing in gasps are urged with whip and voice to greater speed. Coal carts pass by with one horse often staggering under a load suffi- cient for two. They not only draw a load, but carry another on their backs as well. A common abuse is in sending out coal horses when the streets are icy. At such times the horses are almost certain to slip and fall flat, and they are fortunate if they receive no greater injury than bad bruises. Three accidents of this kind were witnessed by me the past winter; at one of them it required the united exertion of five men to lift the shafts and back the cart from the horse, which had received severe bruises and cuts. In spite of this experience, how- ever, the colored driver hitched up again and led the horse along, the latter showing every sign of fear. A delay of an hour oF two would have enabled the driver to pro- ceed in safety. One of the most open abuses —the worst torture the horse ts subjected to in public—is the overdraw check-rein. Horses are frequently seen with heads checked up so high that their noses point almost straight out in front, on a line par- allel with the back. Let the reader throw his own head back until his nose or chin is parallel with the ground, and he will readily perceive that the horse is obliged to use its eyes unnat- vrally, It sees out of the corners or lower edges, and the ground where it steps and for some distance in front is entirely out of its small range of vision. Let another per- son fasten the reader's head back, for only a few minutes, and most unpleasant tl- lustration will be received of the unnature alness and constant torture produced by the overdraw check. Watch a horse, checked up in this manner, when he is standing still. Notice him turn his head around, first to one side and then to the other, until the eheck-rein is slackened. His only ob- ject is to relieve the strain on his mouth and neck. ‘The overdraw check-rein permanently tn- jures the horse's eyes, and finally forever destroys that beautiful contour of the neck which goes far toward making the animal an object of admiration. It also injures the horse's paces and causes him to stumble, &ec. All this and more will the observing person witness. Some of the abuses are net so apparent on many of the streets of Washington, where smooth pavements grades are the rule. But the cruelty of the overdraw check alone ia enough to enlist the sympathies of all CHARLES H. COE. cence Associated Press Extension.

Of that you may rest assure: It is asserted that the condemnatory strie- ture on Henry rge’s doctrine has been forwarded from Rome. Salvation Oil takes the iead of all liniments,
