Surely, if these companies, which have but a limited portion of the supply there, can furnish gas at $1, the company here, which has the entire District, and an ab- solute monopoly for the past forty-six years and for the future, can do it with still better profit, and yet I am told that they are confident of defeating the bill in the Senate. W. C. DODGE. —_—_—> An Author's Inaccuracy. To the Editor of The Evening Star: It is curious to note the mistakes of writers of experience and supposed informa- tion, notably anachronisms, which seem in- excusable. In a half-column article pub- lished in Harper's Weekly (date, May 12), on the old St. Charles Hotel of New Or- leans, John Gilmer Speed says, speaking of the architectural ensions of the famous old hostelry, that “Lady Wortley Montagu, with an enthusiasm that over- leaped discrimination, compared this build- ing, with its immense dome and Corinthian portico, to St. Peter’s at Rome.” Mr. Speed then goes on to state that the St. Charles Hotel was completed in 1837. According to this, Lady Wortley Montagu must have had the gift of foresight in an unusual degree, for she was born in 1689, more than 200 years ago, dying in 1762.

Weakness at the Bat Defeated the Senators at New York, Nearly 4,000 persons witnessed the Giants shove Washington down the toboggan slide yesterday afternoon at the Polo Grounds, New York, the final score being 6 to 2%. Mercer and McGuire, Rusie and Farrell were the batteries, and the loss of the joe is attributed to the inability of the ators to hit the New York twirler. New York scored in the second, third, fourth and seventh innings, Mercer hold- ing the home team down after the fourth. The only runs made by Washington were in the eighth, but several other times Schmelz’s men had three men on bases. Because of weak batting they failed to tally. The score: NEW YORK.

Earl Wagner of the Washington club, who was at the Polo grounds yesterday, is not worrying himself much about the re- ported attempt on the part of certain league clubs to force him out of the circuit after this season, In conversation with a Sun re- porter Wagner declared himself as follo’ “The league can’t force me out, and the clubs know it. If they try any such game I'll put the screws on and make a strong fight. Some people seem to forget that there's a ten years’ contract that binds the twelve league clubs together, and that it gannot be broken unless a club does not live up to the requirements of the constitu- tion, The Washington club is carrying out all its contracts and will continue to do 80." “But how about the statement that you are not trying to give the Washington pub- lic a strong ball team, and that you are merely going through the season in a per- functory way?" the reporter asked. “The statement is uncalled for,” was the reply. “The Washington club is trying to give its patrons the best base ball possible, and our team as it stands will play good ball yet. We do not intend to strengthen it, for we think it is unnecessary. I'll ad- mit that I am out for the dollars, but who isn't? I am looking out for Wagner, and always have done so, If I didn’t, who would?" “Will you have to pay $1,000 fine because of that forfeited game with Brooklyn?” “No, sir. The Washington team did not leave the field and did not refuse to play. Joyce was kicking at a manifestly unfair decision by Stage, when the latter pulled his watch out, and without any warning gave the game to Brooklyn, 9 to 0. If our team had left the field or refused to con- tinue playing, we would have had to pay the fine. But as the matter stands we don’t give up.” Base Ball Notes, The New World says: The feature of the game was a catch by Selbach in the seventh inning, Mike Tier- nan hit to the right field crowd, The fielder had just time to get to the ropes, lean far backward and catch the ball. It was the finest catch on the Polo grounds this year, but Selbach didn’t get a hand. By a vote of 114 to 60 on roll call the Mas- sachusetts house of representatives voted to adjourn yesterday afternoon to attend the ball game. In the first inning yesterday at New York, when Hurst called a strike on Joyce, the latter threw his bat on the ground with ter- rific force and squared his jaws at the um- pire. Hurst, however, quickly picked up the bat and threw it to Joyce so hard that Bill resumed his position and struck out. This is pretty early in the season, but it does seem as if nothing—not even the Chi cagos—can keep Schmeiz’s commonwealers from the tail end.—New York World. Manager Schmelz said yesterday that he would alternate Mercer, Petty and Stock- dale in the box until they pitch winning ball. He believes his team is in a rut, but will soon regain confidence and pull out. They certainly played a good, steady game yesterday.—New York Herald, Played on the Monument Grounds. An interesting game was played yester- day afternoon on the monument grounds between the local clubs the “Has Beens' and “Should B * A handsome silver pitcher and goblets had been offered by a friend as a prize, which was won, by 6 to 5, by the “Has Beens,” who bore it from the field amid cheers. There was some very good playing on both sities. Another game will be played soon. A Good College Game. The Columbian University base ball nine was defeated Wednesday by the Maryland Agricultural College team at the latter col- lege by 8 to 7. The playing of both teams was excellent, the winning run being made in the ninth inning. The features of the game were the playing of Bolway and Green for the visitors and Barrows and Fuller for the home team. The pitching of Fuller was fine, he striking out eight men and allowing the visitors only seven hits. The battery for the visitors was Laughlin and Carter; for the home team, Fuller and Davis. a Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been isued to the following by the clerk of the court: Joseph A.

They Enjoy a Little Recreation After Their Labors. The American Ticket Brokers’ Associa- tion believes that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and this morning all the members of the body, accompanied by their wives, their sisters and their best girls, went down to Mount Vernon and spent several enjoyable and instructive hours among the beautiful surroundings of Washington's tomb. On their return at 2:30 o'clock they were photographed in a body by Prince and are now getting out their dress suits and making ready for the banquet at the National Hotel tonight, ten- dered to the association by Messrs. J. Spliedt and M. Beekman, the resident mem- bers of the organization. The session of the convention yesterday afternoon completed the business for which the members made Washington their gath- ering place, and wi characterized by a pleasant surprise sprung upon the brokers by the ladies accompanying them to this city. After the reading of the executive committee’s report had been completed two score of charming dames and rapture-in- spiring misses swept into the convention hell and announced their intention of taking They were given front seats, and at the election of officers which immediately followed every one of the ladies voted for every one of the can- didates and showed just what the dear creatures would do if the right of suffrage were conferred upon their sex. While there were several candidates for the presidency and some of the other of- fices the contests were waged with much geniality, and in every instance the elec- tion of the successful aspirant was made unanimous, Officers Elected. H. C. Meader of Cincinnati was chosen President over I. Frank of New York and C. H. Gentry of Chicago. The other officers elected were J. J, Philbin of Omaha, first vice president; Ben Wasserman of St. Louis, second vice president; D. Domnau of Waco, Tex., third vice president; J. Spieldt of this city, fourth vice president. Of course W. B. Carter of Louisville was re-elected sec- retary. The executive committee as chosen for the ensuing year consits of George M. McKenzie, Chicago, chairman; Gustav H. Lansing of New York, Thomas H. Webb of Peoria, C. H. Gentry and President Meader, member ex-officio. Salt Lake City, New Orleans, Oklahoma City and St. Louis were all desirous of be- ing selected as the place for the annual convention in 1895. St. Louis was finally decided upon, and the selection unanimous- ly confirmed. President Lee of the Trav- eling Men’s Protective Association, which is composed of commercial travelers and embraces nearly every knight of the grip in the United States, sent the convention a warm congratulatory message, and the Cleveland and Buffalo Steamship Line ten- dered free transportation to the members of the association and their friends who might find {t convenient to return home by way of the great lake, ———-—>-— WITHOUT A HEAD, Considerable discontent has been mani- fested in certain quarters over the fact that Dr. Daniel H. Williams of Chicago, who was appointed on February 15 as surgeon- in-chief of the Freedman’s Hospital in place of Dr, Charles B. Purvis, resigned, has not as yet entered upon the duties of the office. On April 16 Dr. John R. Francis Was appointed assistant surgeon, vice Dr. Shadd, resigned, and since then has been acting surgeon druing the absence of Dr. Williams from his post. Inquiry at the De- partment of the Interior today elicited the information that Dr. Williams qualified within a day or two after his appointment and left for his hcme in Chicago to settle up his private business. Soon after reaching the windy city he was taken ill, and several letters have been received by the department officials from him stating that just as soon as his health will permit he will be in Washington. The Star man was told that the department had no doubt that the illness of Dr. Williams was bona fide. He was also told that there was a point where patience ceased to be a virtue, and that when an appointee failed to ccme to time within a reasonable period, and this period is discretionary with the Secretary of the Interior, the resignation of that appointee would be called for and his successor sppointed. But from what the reporter learned there is no liklihood just now that the Secretary will resort to this plan of procedure. The salary of Dr. Williams is $3,000, but he has drawn no pay for the place. The salary of Dr. Fran- cis, who is virtually surgeon in charge, is $1,800, The friends of the gentlemen who were candidates for the position when the fight was on, are taking a keen interest in the new phase of the situation. + — Women Temperance Workera. North Capitol Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union held its monthly meeting Wednesday evening in North Capitol Church. Rev. Charies L. Pate, pastor of the church, gave a short address, full of encouragement and inspiration. He sured the society of his sympathy in their work, and of his earnest desire to co- operate with them in their labors. Mrs. M. E. Griffith gave an instructive and interest- ing Bible reading, taking for her subjec' “What God Thinks of the Liquor Traffic. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows: President, Margaret B. Platt; record- ing secretary, Miss Jennie Meany; corre- sponding stcretary, Mrs. Addie Fisher; treasurer, Mrs. Lulu Saxton. Interesting reports of work done in various depart- ments were given by the superintendents, and special attention was called to the department of work among messenger boys, which has been lately established, and is already showing good results. Superintendents were elected as follows: Flower mission, Mrs. Hester King; nar- cotics, Mrs. Lulu Saxton; scientific tem- perance instruction, Mrs. M. C. Ri work among messenger boys, Mrs. H. T. Brian; literature, Miss L. E. Daniels and Mrs. M. A. Vaughn. Before adjournment the ladies sed a resolution requestingy the District v. C. T. U. to hold its quarterly meeting in North Capitol Church in June next. ie Columbian University Alumnae. The Alumnae of Columbian University, uniting with the lady students in the va- rious departments, have lately formed a society, entitled ‘Columbian Women,” whose avowed object is to aid the cause of woman in their alma mater by the es- tablishment of scholarships, which shall be open to ladies, by enlarging the scope of woman's work in the colleges and by spreading the social influence of the unt- versity. The first public appearance cf this organization will occur on Tuesday, the 1th, when a garden fete will be given to the lady graduates of '94 in the spacious grounds surrounding the residence of Mrs. Emily Briggs, Maple Square, on 6th and D southeast. The faculty of the university, the members of the new club and many dis- tinguished friends and patrons of the in- stitution will be received by Mrs. Briggs and the fair graduates in cap and gown from 5 to 8 o'clock, the affair beginning with a short literary program, including five-minute speeches from a few alumnae who have already done honor to their alma mater in professional, literary or scholastic circles, ae Arrests Without Warrants. Policemen have often been instructed by the judges of the Police Court that persons charged with misdemeanors must not be arrested except upon a warrant unless the act is witnessed by them, but there are officers who will not heed the warnings, and one of them heard from Judge Kimball to- day. This particular officer is S. S. Hern- don, and he made an arrest of two colored boys ten days after he claims to have seen them in a crap game. William Gilbert and Joseph Contee were the boys, and they de- nied the charge made against them. “Did you have a warrant for their ar- rest?” the court asked the officer. “No, your honor,” he responded, “but I saw them in the game.” “When was it?” “The first of the month.” Then Judge Kimball gave the policeman some instructions in the law, reminding him of the number of times the officers had been told about these arrests. “You had no business whatever to arrest these boys without a warrant,” the judge told the officer, “and I am going to put my seal upon this sort of business by dismissing the case.” —_— Attacked by a Dog. Policeman Philip Browne of the eighth precinct had an exciting fight with a mad dog about 3 o'clock this morning near 15th and Q streets. He was on duty at the time and the dog attacked him. In endeavoring to keep the dog from him the ferocious an}. mal got his teeth on the officer’s right hand and terribly lacerated it.

What a wonderful feat of nerve He eats Quaker Oats! It makes just such AMUSEMENTS. Academy of Music.—The Hinrich's Grand Opera Company sang the Bohemian Girl last night. Many of the musical patrons of Washington seemed to think thet the tune- ful graces of this opera have at last palled on them, but the audience present last night at the Academy of Music testified their delight in no uncertain manner. The “Bohemian Girl” is perhaps the lightest opera in the repertoire of this really excel- lent operatic organization, and its presenta- tion was one of the most satisfying and best sustained ever seen in Washington. The orchestra shared the honors with the vocal side of the company, and was ap- Plauded for its introduction, and an oboe solo came in for a fund of praise. Fernando Michelena, as Thaddeus, carried the audi- ence with him from the start, and in his singing of “You'll Remember Me” and “The Fair Land of Poland” awakened ab- solute enthusiasm, and was compelled to repeat in each instance. Miss Nina Bertini- Hemphreys, as Arline, filled all the require ments which an artistic judgment could suggest. “I Dreamt That I Dwelt in Mar- ble Halls” was sung beautifully by her, and in the third act she introduced a solo, which was the most creditable piece of work of the evening. The member of the orchestra who played the flute accompaniment to this, is also entitled to no small measure of credit. Besides singing her part well, Miss ‘Hum- phreys also acted it. Miss Katherine Flem- it.g, as the Queen of the Gypsies, though suffering from a cold, sang with the warmth and vigor of a true artist. Her in- troduced song, “Bliss Forever Past,” from the “Daughter of St. Mark,” was given with genuine dramatic feeling, and richly deserved the applause it received. Warwick Gsnor, as Count Arnheim, was a manly father, and sang to better advantage in the cencerted numbers than in the solos. E. N. Knight, as Devilshoof, acted his part with out exageration and sang it well. Charles Storey, as Florstein, was aceptable, and Ren. Moffit, as Captain of the Guard, and Jean Roberts, as an Officer did their parts well. The chorus justified the praise which has heretofore been received. Tonight “Carmen” will be presented, in- troducing Kronold, Michelena, Del Puente and others of this excellent company. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Chariey Hol- comb, the local pugilist, earned $ at Ker- nan’s Theater last night by standing off Joe Wolcott of Boston, who claims the wel- ter-weight championship of the world.
