Mr. I. F. Heath, secretary of the trustees of the gas works of Hamiiton, writing to The Star, gives the following ts: “Hamilton has a population of about 22,000 ‘and owns {ts own works. Youghiogheny coal is used, at a ccst to the city of $2.63 r ton, delivered at the works. An excel- it quality of gas is furnished private con- sumers at a cost of $1 per 1,000 cubic feet; 749 public lamps are lighted and kept clean and in repair for $15 per year; they burn ten hours every night, have 5-foot burners, burning 50 feet every ten hours lighted; the eandle power maintained is never less than twenty-two. At these rates it is expected, from past experience, that the company will meet its cost of construction from the Profits, through the medium of a sinking fund. Our output will average 3,500,000 cubic feet per month.” ——— Judges to Change Duties.

They must understand business, they must study and know the public, and maust know how to say things or write things in a way to hold attention. The Ad. Writers’ Association is a new organiza- tion formed by the ad. writers, and the feast referred to as having been held last night was their initial banquet. The place was Weicker’s, and the appointments and general arrangements for the dinner were of such a kind as might be expected when a score of men, all of bright and suggestive minds, are banded together for such a pur- pose. Mr. George A. Lewis, president of the association, sat at the head of the table, and Mr. Wm. A. Hungerford, the vice presi- dent, did the honors at the foot. The other members of the association present were Messrs. W. G. Kent, F. H. Pierce, Isaac Gans, F. McC. Smith, Joseph Price, J.Albert Shaffer, A. Kaufman, C.C.Archibald, George W. Miller, Carl Fast, G. Nordlinger and S. Goldsmith. The guests were Messrs. H. L. West, R. B. Gelatt, T. G. Alvord, jr., F. B. Noyes, J. Whit Herron and H. P. Godwin. The table was tastefully decorated with palms and potted plants. In the balcony at ope end of the banquet hall was stationed the Olmo Mandolin and Banjo Orchestra, which discoursed soft music while hosts and guests performed some wonderful gas- tronomic feats. Upon entering the banquet room each guest found lying upon his plate a beauti- ful new hatchet, which was supposed to be a delicate tribute to the truthfulness of the press, but this was not the case. President Lewis explained at once the purpose of this array of hatchets by stating that it was the unanimous sentiment of the association that | the newspaper men present should bury the hatchet forever. So the guests were con- ducted in single file, each bearing his hatchet, to a corner, where a tree stump had been provided, and there they buried the hatchet In the wood. eyes, a living, moving being, throbbing with human emotion, and its performance by Mounet-Sully is not only a triumph for his own art, but a classic achievement which will unquestionably stand out brilliantly in the history of dramatic literature. The present tour of the noted actor and tra- gedienne is not likely to recur, as bis en- gagement with the Theater Francaise dces not permit such conges frequently. The and Madame Segond-Weber aroused in New York is well known here, and there is every reason to expect that the cultured theater Patronage of Washington will hall with pleasure the opportunity of seeing two ex- ponents of what is highest in the drama, Who are so emirent in both hemispheres. The sale of seats begins tomorrow, Thurs- day, morning. The City Sports.—Manager Kernan’s at- traction for next week will be the City Sports Big Show and the famous South American beauties, the four Nelson sisters, the greatest living female acrobats in the world. These young ladies offer a $20,000 challenge to any four male acrobats to a complish their remarkable feats. Another unique feature will be the celebrated fam- fly of Moorish dancers, including Babu E} Ray, Mohammed Hassen and Hilda Halda. This same family appeared on the famous Cairo street during the world’s fair in their native dances and contortion act. Others in the company are Mlle. Zittella and Cris- sie Sheridan, the queens of burlesque; Snyder and Buckley, Emma Rosa Lee, Dolly Brooks, Matt Flynn, Phil Sheridan and Eddie Powers. “The Midnight Charge.”"—The National Rifles’ Hall was crowded last evening to hear “The Midnight Charge” by the Sher- idan Dramatic Company, under the aus- pices of Lincoln Relief Corps, No. 6, for the benefit of the charity fund. This com- pany includes some very clever actors, and the drama presented last evening is one of | the better class of the many plays which have for their main feature the representa- tion of scenes from army life.

Music and speech and story follow- ed fast. The guests were all called upon for speeches, and, in the course of their re- marks, complimented the new association and expressed the best wishes for its fu- ture prosperity. Mr. Carl Fast, instead of a speech, gave an enjoyable imitation of different people | reciting ““he Charge of the Light Brigade.” Messrs. Ike Gans, W. G. Kent, F. McC. | Smith, A. Kaufman were called out and | added’ each his portion of rhetoric to the evening's entertainment. Mr. Wm. A. Hungerford spoke as the representative of Progress, the new weekly devoted to the art of advertising. A novel and most amusing feature of the dinner introduced during a resting spell between speeches, was “First and last appearance of Rosen- baum’s Greatest Aggregation of Green ‘Ham’ Actors,” which, according to the lurid | posters distributed, had “never appeared | before any audience of any country the | second time.” The company was composed of Messrs. Goodman, Mayer, Baumgarten, | Stern and Friedlander. They were exhibit- ed under the disguise of Mile. Hulla-Hula, Hairy Jane, the bearded woman; Queen Lil and Carbunkle Mike, the strong man; with Abraham Rosenbaum as general fakir and showman. After the showman had} given his description of the freaks the per- formers gave recitations. It was the gen- eral sentiment of the guests that if the Ad. Writers’ Association is as successful in other things as it is in giving dinners its prosperity is assured. —_—___ MR. MUNROE’S PROPOSITION. How He Proposes to Collect and Dis- pose of the City’s Garbage. The Commissioners yesterday gave a hearing to Mr. C. R. Munroe upon his propo- sition to collect and dispose of the city’s garbage. Mr. Munroe was represented by Col. Fleming, who spoke In favor of and explained in detatl the scheme. He said it was the {dea to remove the garbage In metal carts and transport the bodies of the carts to a point down the river below Alexandria, where it would be treated. In this way the garbage would not be exposed at any time. He estimated that $48,000 per annum, with an additional $3,000 per month for daily col- lection, would do the work. —— Alleged Policy Promoters. In the Police Court yesterday several al- leged policy cases were called and disposed of. In the cases of George Gardner, ir., Dolly Gardner, his mother, and Katie Trav- ers, his sister, Mr. Mullowny entered a nolle pri This was done hecause George Gardner, sr., and John Travers, his son-in- law, plead guilty in court Saturday and! were sent to jai Charles Bradley, a negro, arrested on the bridge on suspicion of promoting policy, was tried in Judge Kimball's court on a charge | of suspicion and was sent down for ninety days in default of bonds. isle Real Estnte Matters.

This will be one of the most unique entertainments ever given in this city, and the rehearsals indicate that it will be a pronounced success. Mr. De Guerville’s Lecture.—The {lus- trated lecture of Mr. A. B. De Guerville on Japan, Corea and Chin: Metzerott Hall last evening, was extremely interesting and entertaining. A large audience greeted the lecturer. Mr. De Guerville visited th countries as commissiorer for the world’s Columbian exposition, and his many amus- ing incidents were told and illustrated last evening, affording a unique and capital en- tertainr-ent. The lecturer also told of the habits and customs of the people of the three countries, and gave a graphic account of his visit to the Viceroy of China, on whom he called to secure an exhibit for the exposition. Mr, De Guerville is a good lec- turer, and his many amusing experiences were related in a manner to make his aud- fence spend an evening of enjoyment. Marteau, the Violinist, Tonight.—Henri Marteau, the wonderful young violinist, will be heard tonight at Metzerott Music Hall, | with his company, in which are Mme. Linde, contralto, and Amie Lachaume, pianist. The program is an exceedingly attractive one.

Mrs. Kleppisch, who is considered to be the best-informed woman on pictures in America, will exhibit seventy beautiful pictures, and give a de- scription and history of each, and the lec- ture will undoubtedly prove highly instruc- tive as well as enjoyable. Seats are now on sale at Metzerot: Commercial Club’s Entertainment. The old Mysterious Club, now known in its new home as the Commercial Club, gave a most delightful musical reception and oys- ter roast to its many friends last evening. The handsome club house on E street was gaily decorated with potted plants, while a profusion of roses filled every available space. In the ball room there was dancing, and during the evening there was a literary and musical entertainment, in which Mr. McEnerhany, Mr. Cullen, Mr. Scott, Mr. Hay, Mr. Bangs and Mrs. Collins took part. Among those who enjoyed the hospitalities of this popular organization were the Misses Campbell, Reece, Flynn, Glennon, Charl- ton, Crafts, Schwartz, Jones, Mankin, Pol- lard, Williams, Shepherd, and Littlefield, Capt. and Mrs. Littlefield, George and Mrs. Neumeyer, Mrs. Childs, Mrs, White, Mrs. Cameron,Mr. and Mrs. Swing, Mr. and Mrs. Frey, Mr. and Mrs. Tucker, Mr. James Hodges, Mrs. Hodges, Messrs.

The annual tall of the Coachmen’s Bene- ficial Society was held last night in the hall of the Builders’ Exchange. A large orches- tra discoursed music for the dancers until midnight, when refreshments were in- dulged in by the guests. The present offi- cers of the scciety are: Edward Hughes, president; Thomas McGuire, vice president; Herbert Meredith, secretary; wrence Mangan, treasurer, and James Muir, ser- geant-at-arms. The reception committee was composed of Pierce Britt, chairman; David Barry, Martin Beglin, James Muir, Charles Smith, Roland Evans, William Hanks, Michael Dempsey, John Living- stone, Thomas Fullerton, Michael Owens, Fred Ashford, Patrick Branaghan, William Cairns, Henry Secco and James Keneally. Daniel Coyne made a most efficient floor manager. The audience was a large one, nd enjoyed the evening to the fullest ex- tent.

Inspector Hollinberger has received word from the Baltimore authorities of the arrest there of Edward Ferry and Edward and Merris Bearus, who had in their pos- session four boxes of silver-plated coffin handles.

The boys are held for a hearing, CASE OF THE BOOKMAKERS. A Speedy Trial is Desired and One is Highly Probable. The failure of the managers of the local Tace tracks to secure on the last District day in the House of Representatives the passage of a bill permitting betting on races run over the Benning and Ivy City tracks during certain periods of the year undoubtedly killed all prospects of racing here this spring at least, and in the opinion of perhaps a majority of those interested in the movement to re-establish racing here this failure destroyed about all chances there remained of resuming racing, with betting, at any time within the District. This opinion, it is said, is held by the managers of the two local racing’ organiza- tions, and it is understood that they have come to the conclusion that the only real hope of a resumption of racing, with bet- ting, Hes in a reversal of the ruling of Judge Cole that bookmaking and poolselling are unlawful in the District. Therefore, it is stated that in the cases pending against Bookmaker Marvin and his three assist- ants, charged with conducting bookmaking at the Ivy City track last December, and against President Geo. H. Engeman of the Ivy City Jockey Club, chavged with per- mitting such gambling to be conducted on the Ivy City track December last, a speedy trial will be requested by the defendants. Why a Decision is Desired. The purpose in secking a speedy trial of the cases is, of course, either to secure the acqu‘ttal of the parties, or, in the event of their conviction, to secure, on an appeal to the Court of Appeals, a reversal of Judge Cole's decision that bookmaking is the set- ting up and running of a gambling table or other gambling device, prohibited by the act of 1888, which act, Judge Cole held, was not repealed py the act of 1891, which pro- hibits betting on horse races and other contests within one mile of the city limits. District Attorney Birney stated to a Star reporter that it was true that the indicted parties had asked for a speedy trial, and he had promised that he would grant their request at the earliest opportunity. Mr. Birney explained that so far as he had been concerned the cases would have been tried long ago but for the engagement in the Pollard-Breckinridge case of Mr. Jere M. Wilson, counsel for the accused parties. The district attorney stated that he would now probably set the cases for trial within a short period, whether the indicted parties so desired or not, and he not only expressed himself as confident of securing a convic- tion in each of the cases, but was also equally confident that, upon an appeal to the Court of Appeals, the ruling of Judge Cole would be sustained. Your Blood Needs Cleansing Now In order to expel the impurities which have ac- cumulated during the winter, or which may be hereditary, and cause you much wuffering.
