BORE SS RR ‘The Epworth Box Party. The Epworth League of the Douglas Me- torial Methodist Episcopal Church gave a “box” party on last Monday evening at the hall corner of 11th and H streets north- east. An excellent musical and literary program was rendered before a large and appreciative audience, after which the boxes, containing “lunch for two,” put up by the young ladies, were sold. Each box contained the name of the donor,with whom the gentleman purchasing the box had the pleasure of lunching. An enjoyable evening was spent by all present. At a recent busi- Bess meeting of the league Messrs. William Warren and Hedding B. Leech were elected or man to the Pittsburg convention, May iz. penne Sara His Family Needed Charity. John Gray, a colored man, went to the house of Mr. J. N. Colvin last night and made a piteous appeal for his sick wife and child, who, he said, were starving. He had tried to get some bread at a store on eredit, but failed, and then he went out to beg. Mr. Colvin and an officer went to his house and learned that what he said about his family was true. But John had been drinking and the police knew of John's ex- perience in the hands of the police and the court during recent weeks. He was under the influence of liquor at the time and the officer locked him up. In the Police Court this morning he was sent down for two weeks. Mr. Colvin told the court that he would see to the man’s wife and child dur- ing John’s incarceration. sy Harry Fisk's Benefit. On Saturday night next Harry C.

Hedgman—Various Matters of Interest. Mr. John G. Hedgman, sr., after having been threatened for many months, was stricken with paralysis this morning at 2 o'clock. He was sitting in an easy chair at the time the stroke was received. With a@ cry that aroused his eldest son, Mr. Travis Hedgman, he fell to the floor heav- fly, and lay as if unconscious. It was thought for a time that he had but fallen out of the chair while asleep. As soon as it was attempted, however, to move him it was discovered that his entire left side was lifeless. Dr. H. Suter was dispatched for and came promptly. The doctor states that owing to the advanced age—seventy-three— of the patient, it is impossible at present to forecast the result of the stroke. Mr. Hedgman’s condition is said to have re- sulted from hernia, which he contracted while in the confederate service. Previous to entering the war = — a clerk in = Treasury Department ir. sem{-unconscious ever since the stroke. A Boy Drowned in the Canal. A little colored boy named Bernie Gant was drowned in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal yesterday evening at 7:15 o'clock. He fell into the water while playing along the south wall between Congress and High streets. He had been warned several times to keep away from the canal, but, child- like, forgot the warnings as soon as the wiser heads were out of sight. His uy was caused by the displacement of a stone on which he was standing, while dipping water. He came twice to the surface in the presence of companions. The third rise brought him beneath a canal boat. Search was made, the body was soon recovered, and it was brought to the seventh precinct morgue. At the Gay Street Church. There was a successful concert last even- ing in the Gay Street Baptist Church. ‘Through the efforts of Mr. Claude Smith, a large portion of the late Moody choir was present and assisted the following well- known local singers in choruses: The Misses Beckham, Miss Blanche Beall, Mrs. Genzier, Miss Edith Haycock, Miss Lily Corbett, Mrs. Lynch, Mr. Robert Haycock, Mr. Hen- ty Bowers, Mr. James Beckham and Mr. James S. Hays. The entire program was under the leadership of Mr. Smith. The in- strumentalists of the evening were Miss Stakely and the Misses Fox, who gave plano selections, and Miss Susie Haycock, who ex- ecuted a violin number. There were excel- lently rendered vocal solos by Miss Lily Stewart, Miss Stakely, Miss Alice Kimball and Mr. Wright. Encores were as frequent as the numbers on the program. Building Association Affairs. The regular monthly sale of money and redemption of bonds took place last even- ing at the office of the First Co-operative Building Association. Money averaged 75. Bonds of the fifth issue, whose par value is $231.30, were redeemed at $249.01, and bonds of the sixth issue were redeemed at $242.58, the being $234. The annual meeting of the Recxnoiders for the election of officers will be held in Thursday, May 31, at 7:30 p.m Notes. Mr. F. D.

Judge Cox has ordered the conditional confirmation of the sale of the Arlington and Washington Railroad Company's Dis- trict assets to Mr. H. P. Gilbert for $1,000. The property consists of the machinery used to generate power for the road. —_——.——_ THE EXCISE BOARD. Hotel Bar Rooms to Have a Notice to Close. The excise board has waited now 6 months for Congress to take some action looking to an exemption of the hotels from the pro- visions of the law relative to the establish- ment of saloons within 400 feet of a public school or church. Several times prominent Senators have assured the board that the pending legislation would soon be enacted, but as yet nothing has been done. The ex- cise board meantime is being severely crii- cised for its apathy in the matter. The Anti-Saloon League recently ed the Commissioners for their failure to carry out the law, and referred specifically to the ho- tels which were running bar rooms without @ license. © At the regular meeting of the excise board yesterday several of these cases were called up for action. After the session had conclud- ed, the board discussed the hotei feature of the case, and decided to put the responsi- bility upon Congress. Accordingly the clerk to the board was directed to issue forty- eight-hour closing notices to the hotels and other places affected in time to go into ef- fect at midnight May 8. It is believed this action by the Commissioners will. hurry legislation along. There is some doubt ex- pressed, however, as to the passage of the amendments which will exclude hotels from the provisions of the law. At the hearing before the Commissioners some time ago it was boasted by a prominent member of the league that its organization was strong enough to defeat the amendment. The excise board took the following action yesterday on pending applications for liquor licenses: Granted—Retail: Bertha Young, 456 Loui- siana avenue nortwest. Wholesale: Nathan A. Poole, 1209 F street northwest. Rejected—Retail: Fritz Reuter, corner 4 1-2 street and Pennsylvania avenue northwest; Charles Kraemer, ith street northwest; John G. Bieligk, th street northwest; Theodore P. urn, 15th street_north- west; Samuel Gassenheimer, 1329 E street rorthwest; Otto Tousant, 1301 7th street northwest; Chamberiain’s Hotel, Wormiley's, Welcker’s, Normandie and The Oxford. ee TO CODIFY DISTRICT Laws. How It Should Be Done to Be Eiffec- tive. Attorney Thomas made the following re- port today upon the House resolution to raise a committee to codify the laws of the District of Columbia: “Assuming that what is proposed to be done can be done without money, since the bill carries no appropriation, I think it im- practicable to do the work proposed within the time specified. If three lawyers should devote their whole time to the subject for @ year it would not, in my judgment, be more than should be reasonably required of them. Aside from this, we have but re- cently gone through the process of compil- ing the laws of the District of Columbia, which puts them in more convenfent sh:pe than they have heretofore been. The work of the compilers was several days ugo sub- mitted to the Supreme Court of this Dis- trict for their approval, as required by the act of Congress authorizing the compila- tion. If Congress thinks a code necessary for this Discrict, such a statute is proper; except that a very great work would be de- volved upon two congressional members of the commission, who would necessarily be uninformed to a great extent of the Statutes and laws they would be called upon to codify. It seems to me that if we are to have a code it should be prepared by three members of the bar of this District, to be selected by the President, with cora- pensation which would be adequate for the work, and which would secure the services of cur best lawyers. I think the resolution is deficient in not providing for a commis- sion of lawyers practicing in this District to codify the laws, and not providing the money to do the work, and in fixing too short a period for such a great work. For these reasons I am unable to advise you to favorably recommend the passage cf said resolution.” gen Alumni Elect Officers. The Alumni Association of the National College of Pharmacy at a meeting held last evening unanimously elected the following officers: Walter 8. Ferris, president; Percy G. McComas, vice president; W. H. Brad- bury, secretary; A. T. Bronaugh, treas- urer, and N. C. Fitch, curator. A banquet will be tendered the class of '94 by the as- sociation FRANK HATTON’S FUNERAL. ‘The Services Tomorrow Afternoon at the Family Residence. Tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock the funeral of Mr. Frank Hatton will occur from the family residence, 2013 Hillyer Place. Bishop Hurst of the Methodist Chureh will conduct the ceremony and the er at Rock Creek cemetery will be private. The honorary pall-bearers will be Secre- tary Gresham, Senator Allison, Senator Teller, Senator Chandler, Maj. John M. Car- son, Gin. H. V. Boynton, Gen. John M. Schofizid, Capt. William Fletcher, Mr. B. H. Warner, Mr. Jesse B. Wilson, Col. W. B. Thompson, Mr. Theodore W. Noyes, Ad- miral James A. Greer and Mr. C. L. Magee of Pittsburg. The active pall-bearers will be members of the staff of the Post. The Gridiron Club will attend the funeral in a body. A meeting of the organization was held yesterday, at which the following resolution was adopted: “The death of our president, Frank Hatton, comes to every member of the Gridiron Club as an indl- vidual loss and a personal bereavement. Throughout his connection with the organi- zation he was an earnest, active and cheer- ful worker in its ranks and a surpassingly efficient and successful presiding officer. His love of his profession extended to its membership; his charm of manner added to his warmth of heart endeared him to his co-workers, and his mental equipment and genuineness of character won and held their admiration and respect. “In his service as president of the club Frank Hatton did much to er the purposes for which it was founded and to increase its influence. He was unsparing in his sacrifice of self and untiring in personal labor to advance its interests. The mem- ory of his connection with the Gridiron Club will always be cherished by those whose privilege it was to know him as a sincere friend and a lovable companion, To his family the club extends in his loss their sincere sympathy and heartfelt con- benny @ flags on the Post Office Department have been placed at half mast and will re- main so until after the funeral. The International League of Press Clubs. At the afternoon session of the Interna- tional League of Press Clubs at Atlanta, Ga., yesterday, Mr. Clark Howell intro- duced the following fesolutions, which were adopted by a rising vote: Whereas the sad information of the death of Hon. Frank Hatton of the Washington Post reaches us; and Whereas his services, both as a public officer and as a journalist, have been such as to closely identify his name with the newspaper fraternity, and to associate with him those of the profession whose work and virtues have contributed so largely to the luster of American journalism; there- fore, be it Resolved, That in his death the news- Paper fraternity has suffered a deplorable loss and the country a true, a loyal and a Patriotic citizen. Resolved, further, That the president and the secretary convey to the family of the deceased our heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement. —_.___ The Juvenile Opera. The little people who are to give the Pirates of Penzance, at the Academy of Music, on Friday and Saturday of this week, for the benefit of the Homeopathic Hospital, are hard at work polishing, and at a theater rehearsal yesterday delighted their directors with what was very nearly a per- fect rehearsal. George Welsh is, as he says, “the very mcdel of a modern major general.” He is a member of St. John’s choir and has a voice of great sympathy and pathos, especially suited to his line of work in this opera. When speaking of Gen. Stanley one nat- urally turns to Mabel (Miss Emma Hein- richs), who is very truly the star of the eccmpany. Little Miss Heinrichs is a thor- ovgh artist and delights every one by her sweet singing and graceful acting. Particu- lar praise is due her in the entrance song, “Poor Wandering One,” of which she sings every note, trills, cadenzas and all. Arthur fton has been intrusted with the role of Pirate King, and a rollicking, dashing part he makes it. With a remark- able voice, both in range and volume, and a patural faculty for acting, he cannot fall to e if one of the first favorites. It is interesting to know that twenty-five years ago his grandmother, Kratch- mar, was the finest soloist in the city. In the pert of Samuel Louis Fiske has a chance to show his exceilent voice and clear enunciation. He is another of the St. John's boys, and that is conclusive evidence that he is well trained and capable. Ruth (Miss Louise Childs) has a pleasing voice and cannot fail to win high favor in the duets and trios, in ali of which her dramatic work is fine. — The Golden Cross, At the last meeting of Meridian Comman- dery, United Order of the Golden Cross, Noble Commander E. F. Huggins presided. The degrees were conferred on two ¢andi- dates. The rendition of the odes during the conferring of the degrees was in charge of Mrs. Allie 8. Olbert, who also presided at the organ. At the last meeting of Capital Com- mandery, in the absence of Noble Com- mander J. H. Sayles, who has been se- riously ill, Past Noble Commander J. F. Kilgore presided. Speeches under the good of the ogder were made by Knights Kil- gore, Diver, Newton, Hallam and others. on A Comet and Corey. Coincident with the arrival of Coxey’s army was the sighting by Prof. G. A. Hill of the Naval Observatory last evening, just above the northwestern horizon, of a large, bright comety believed by the scientists to be the Gale comet, discovered at the Brit- ish Observatory at Sidney, New South Wales, a short time ago. In olden days such celestial phenomena would have been fraught with direful significance, but, hap- pily, those days of superstition are passing swiftly away, and the visiting comet causes no concern whatever. —_—_—_. Browne's Rhetoric. Carl Browne issued another of his cnarac- teristic orders to the “commonweal" last night, in which he gave a history of the day from his point of view. “Liberty,” he sald, “lies weltering in her own blood at the nation’s capital city tonight, stabbed in the house of her friends by her supposed guar- dians. Free speech has been suppressed and policemen’s clubs have taken the place of the scales of justice. But it is only tem- porary. “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.’ Brothers, we have entered upon the beginning of the end. The wounds of liberty will be stanched and the scales of justice will again be equally poised as in the days of our illustrious sires, for we have come here to stay until there is a greater gathering here of men than con- fronted Lee on the banks of the Potomac years ago, and then the real traitors—the Rothschilds who used the men of the south to bring on that war to the profit of King Gold—will be overturned, like Belshazzar of old, and every producer will then get the products of his labor, for the passage of Brother Coxey's bills would be the entering wedge to such a condition. I congratulate you upon your splendid action today; not a man jeft his post that I know of except one, and excused under the circum- stances,” ee ieee Faneral of Mrs. Morgan. The funeral services over the remains of the late Mrs. Morgan, wife of the Alabama Senator, were held yesterday morning at the family residence on 4 1-2 street, and in the presence of a large gathering of the intimate personal friends of the family were conducted by Rev. J. T. Wightman, D. D., now of Baltimore, but formerly Mrs. Morgan's pastor, assisted by Rev. Dr. Canter, pastor of Mount Vernon Place Church, and Dr. Milburn, chaplain of the Senate. During the service the choir of the First Presbyterian Church sang, ‘Lead, Kindly Light,” and “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” two hymns which Mrs. Morgan dearly loved during her life. There were many beautiful floral tributes, among the most. beatutiful of which was a wreath of roses and orchids from the President, another from the Mexican minister and Mrs. Ro- mero, and from Mr. and Mrs. James L. Norris. The honorary pall-bearers were Senator James L. Pugh of Alabama, Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court, Hon. J. L. M. Curry, Hilary A. Herbert, Secretary of the Navy; Hon. John E. Beall of Wash- ington, and Representatives Jcseph Wheel- er, Gaston A. Robbins, Richard H. Clarke, Louis W. Turpin, Jessee F. Stallings, Wm. Cc. Oates, William Denson, John H. Bankhead, and James E. Cobb, all of Ala- bama, and James L. Norris of this city. The interment took place at Rock Creek Cemetery. oo Special sale Burt Shoes, factory prices:— Advt. AMUSEMENTS. The Eames Concert.—That Mme. Emma Eames Story fully deserved all the good things that have been said of her by the New York and Chicago papers was fully demonstrated by her work at Metzerott Hall last evening. One of the finest audiences of the season, as well as one of the largest, was present to gree the much-talked-of soprano, and the applause was spontaneous, emphatic and prolonged after every one of her numbers. Her reception when she first came on the stage to sing the countess’ aria from the “Marriage of Figaro” was most enthusiastic, and the manner in which the opening recitative was delivered showed con- clusively that she was an artist. The florid aria that followed displayed the flexibility of her voice, its volume and distinctness of tone, and the encore that followed was pro- nounced. In respcnse she sang a German lied, entitled “Thou Art My Soul,” with ex- quisite expression. In the duo from Birto's “Mefistofele,” with Mme. Scalchi, Mme. Eames fully sustained her part even against the big voice of the contralto, and in the group of songs, which was her third num- ber, she gained the most emphatic recall of the evening. To this she responded with sung in such a manner as to arouse the audience to a high pitch of excitement. Again and in was Mme. Eames obliged to return bow her ac- knowledgments before the applause ceased. The other members of the company included Mme. Scalchi, the contralto; Mr. Ben. Davies, a new English tenor, and the Knetsel Quartet. Mme. Scalchi is an estab- lished favorite in this city, and while her voice is by no means what it once was, she sings with such perfect method and has such personal magnetism that she retains her hold upon the music-loving Public. Mr. Ben. Davies has a voice of much power, with a manly tone, but it has not an extensive range. He sings with ex- pression and at once established himself up- on good terms with his audience. He will be gladly welcomed here again. The Kneisel Quartet played with artistic taste and fully sustained by their united work the reputa- tions that each had individually earned. Solos were given on the ‘cello by Mr. Schroeder, and on the violin by Mr. Knelsel, and both gentlemen deserved the favorable Tecognition they received. Altogether the concert was one of the most enjoyable that has been listened to in Washington in a long time, and Manager Ellis is to be con- gratulated on giving Washington an oppor- tunity to hear at least one of the great sopranos that reigned in New York during last winter. Summer Opera at Albaugh’s.—Commenc- ing Monday night next, the Edgar Stra- kosch Comic Opera Company will begin an eight weeks’ summer season at Al- baugh’s Grand Opera House. The opening opera will be “Girofle-Girofla,” with Miss Avery Strakosch in the title role. New scenery and new costumes will be used during the summer. The company is the strorgest light opera organization that has ever appeared in Washington. The chorus will number thirty-five, and Manager Stra- kosch prides nimself upon the fact that the female contingent is as handsome and shapely as any chorus in the country. Every voice has been tested, and none but those of artistic qualities have been ac- cepted. The principals have all made en- viable names for themselves, and there is not one but who is well known in this city and throughout the country. Miss Stra- kosch has been identified with the leading opera companies, and her artistic ability has placed her among the foremost operatic singers of the day. Miss Jessie Bradbury, the soubrette, is a bright, vivacious bit of humanity, with a charming manner and a voice fitted in every way for the demands of comic opera. Charles A. Bigelow is well known here, and needs no introduction. The other members are artists of ability. A good reserved seat can be secured for twenty-five cents, either on the main floor or in the balcony. In addition to this, “family tickets” will be issued, which will be exchangeable for the best seats at any performance during the season. The repertoire will be changed every week, and none of the operas have been seen in Washington for many years. The sale of seats commences temorrow morning. George Dixon’s Vaudeville and Athletic Co.—George Dixon's Vaudeville and Athletic Company will be the attraction at the Lyceum next week. The company includes George Dixon, the champion feather-weight pugilist of the world, and Prof. Jack Lynch, his sparring partner, also Bentley and Cannon, Kitty Nelson, Patterson Brothers, Dixon and Lang, Van and Leslie, Miss Nellie Seymour, Murphy and McCoy, Foster and Lewis, and the Donavans. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—The compliment- ary testimonial to the members of the or- chestra of Harris’ Bijou Theater will take place tomorrow night, and the program ar- ranged is an attractive one. Among the volunteers are Billy Williams and J. P. Tucker in a sketch entitled “The Coming Man”; Frank Depro, mimic; Mme. J. Es- puta Daly, contralto soloist; South Wash- ington Banjo and Mandolin Club; Percy J. Lowd, Irish comedian; Chas. Hurdle, cham- pion jig and reel dancer; Master Chris Spresser, in original dances; Mark ‘ood, song and dance; Prof. Wm. Haley ith Davenport, Wilbert Melville, Prot. John Haina, Miss Madeline Turnburke and a vocal quartet. —_——~>_—_. FISHING LAWS VIOLATED, Nets Are Used im the Upper Potomac, So the Fishermen Say. Anglers are loud in their complaints about the alleged violations of the fish law in the vicinity of the Chain bridge. Under the law fishermen are not permitted to vse nets of any description, but nets are being used, and the anglers are anxious to know why the police are not stopping it. At the Chain bridge, so it is stated, black bass, shad and herring are being dipped, and the dipping is done in the night time. The black bass,weighing from one to five pounds, are caught at the rate of from fifteen to thirty a night, so the anglers say, and they are sold on the stands in the Center market. Mr. Clarence Corson of the Columbia National Bank, while perch fishing above the Georgetown bridge last week, caught two large shad. He was baiting with angle worms, and anglers say this is the first berg shad have been known to take such it, eS The Milne Assignee Sale. 1231 G street presents a rare opportunity to buy rich pleces of furniture, French cre- tonne end momie cloth at one-third usual prices.—Advt. ce See See ad. of Burt Shoe Sale, page 4.—Advt.
