In relation to the complaint of the Jewell & Co. factory on Buzzard’s Point, about which residents of the Arsenal grounds and ethers have complained, Health Officer Hammett ordered an inspection of the place by Inspectors Shepherd and Beaumont, who have reported as follows: “The business of fenderings fats, boiling and making tallow, and receiving, storing and crushing of bones is done by C. B. Jew- ell & Co. The manufacture of soaps was at ne time done, but this branch of the busi- mess has been discontinued. The business as now conducted is a nuisance, although eare is taken and the machinery has been Improved so as to confine the odors, yet it is impossible. These are disseminated, and Particularly in heavy, damp weather the emanations are sickening and a menzce to the health and comfort of those residing at the Arsenal grounds. “The location of this establishment is about 500 yards from the residences and quarters, and with an easterly wind the impugities are here centered, so that the closing of windows is rendered necessary to protect those here quartered. We think the place is unsuited for the business as now conducted. As stated, it is a nuisance and cannot be abated permanently or effec- tually unless the discontinuance of the busi- mess is ordered.” Upon receipt of this report Dr. Hammond had served on the proprietors of the place @ notice to discontinue the business within ten days. —. St. P: Choir Festival. St. Paul's Parish Hall was filled last even- ing with a very large and enthusiastic audi- ence at the musical festival given by the choir of the church.

The festival, which was given for the ben- @t of the piano fund and the summer ex- tursion of the choir boys, netted a good @um for the purpcse. > Directors jected.

James Temple, a young negro, who has Made the jail his home for a long time, Was about to be married last night to Eva Dangerfield, when the pol arrested him and caused a postponement of the all-im- Pertant event. It was charged that he had figured with William Nelson in the rob- bery of a colored man named orge Luckett, who was relieved of his watch in @ cook shop in Willow Tree alley. The Prisoners were tried in the Police Court today, and Judge Kimball held them for 6-Inch copper bottom, 0c. ; | the front yard will bloom with beauty and become fragrant with perfume, when a lovely morning breaks and shows them a mass of broken stems and ruined plants, which some heartless scouhdrel has left as a memento of a nocturnal visit of destruc- tion and greed. This picture may seem a little overdrawn, but it has been the ex- perience of hundreds of people in the city of Washington in the past, and from the complaints already received by The Even- ing Star it is being entirely too numer- ously reproduced at present. While there does not seem to be any organized plan of robbing flower gadens, still there is little doubt that some persons pursue the dastard- ly vocation systematically. In the north- west section there have recently been sev- eral visits of depredators.to newly laid out gradens, in which the plants have not only been broken off and robbed of their blooms, but a large number of the er varieties removed from the ground altogether. ‘The majority of the despoilers who make | such havoc among the flower beds of the citizens to which access is not impeded by any other barrier than the mere park rail- ing or wicket fence are not thieves for reve- | nue, but are misguided individuals who do not recognize as they should the laws of meum and teum when it comes to flowers. They are attracted by the beauty of the plant; they desire to possess the blooms, and the result fs an irate amateur gardener, who swears he will never raise another flower as long as he lives; a pretty garden ruined, and another thief added to the al- ready long category of the recording angel. It is understood that a number of gentle- men who still love flowering plants suffi- ciently well to run the risk of having their | gardens looted in the night will call on Maj. Moore and request him to instruct his cffi- cers to keep a sharp lookout on all premises where flowers are grown, and to arrest all persons who may be found on the street late at night or very early in the morning with flowers in their possession, and make such parties give a good account of them- selves, or be taken to the Police Court for trial. There is no doubt, say these gentle- men, that ninety out .of every hundred of the little park places in front of the resi- dences in Washington would be made ver- itable flower gardens with each recurring season by their possessors if there was any guarantee that they would be protected from the inroads of passing vandals of eith- THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. oaEoaoEoaoaoaEoeoEyEyoyoaoaeEEEEe——E——————————E THE GOLDEN CROSS. Trinity Commandery Happily Cele- brates Its First Anniversary. Trinity Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, held a special meeting last evening to celebrate its first anniversary, and the occasion was made more interest- ing by a visit from the supreme officers of the order, who are in the cijy holding an executive session. Noble Commander E. J. Pattee presided, and after the preliminary business was disposed of the supreme offi- cers appeared and were introduced by Su- preme Representative John N. Ehle. The officers were Supreme Commander Fessen- den I. Day of Lewiston, Me.; Supreme Keeper of Records Wm. R. Cooper of Knox- ville, Tenn.; Supreme Treasurer John D. Swain of Nashua, N. H., and Supreme Trus- tees A. S. Bangs of Maine, W. M. Simonds of Connecticut and Judge J. F. Lewis of Ten- nessee. The first degree was conferred on two candidates in a very impressive man- ner, the initiating officers being Noble Com- mander E. J. Pattee, Vice Noble Comman- der Miss Susan A. Langley, Worthy Prel- ate Mrs. Emma S. G. Pattee, Worthy Her- ald Carl Alderman and Past Noble Com- mander Dr. G. W. N. Custis. Noble Commander Pattee then gave a brief history of the commandery, which was or- ganized February 16, 1803, with fifty charter members, and was the seventh commandery organized by Supreme Representative Ehle during his service of grand commander. The success of | oe commandery since its organization he attributed to the energy of his pi r, Dr. G. W. N. Custis, under whose administration the commandery had increased in membership nearly 50 per cent. Past Noble Commander Custis was the next speaker, and alluded in complimentary terms to Mrs. Fannie E. Cordero of Good- will Commandery, who had suggested the name “Trinity,” a name comprehensive and sacred, and which he would give another meaning—‘‘good will, friendship and unity.” Dr. Custis then spoke of the interest taken the formation and success of the com- mandery by its father—Grand Commander Ehle—whom the commandery would never cease to love and venerate for his noble work for the order, He thenreferred to the officers of the Supreme Commandery, whose watchful care was not confined to the eleven commanderies of this jurisdiction, but erabraced the 25,000 members of the order in the United States, and closed by assuring the supreme officers of the loyal support of the order in this jurisdiction. Supreme Commander Day explained the reasons which had led to the enactment of the law changing the manner of raising funds to defray the expenses of the Supreme Commandery from the per capita tax to expense assessments, stating that the sub- ject had been thoroughly canvassed, and the result, he believed, would be for the best interests of the order. Supreme Trustee Lewis also made some marks on a late law of the Supreme Com- mandery, requiring the consent of the su- preme commander or grand commander to consider certain subjects In subordinate commanderies, and stated that the law had been misunderstood, and that he would use his efforts at the next session of the Su- preme Commandery to make the law more plain and satisfactory. Other remarks were madé by Supreme Keeper of Records Cooper,'Supreme Treas- urer Swain and Supreme Trustees Bangs and Simonds. An instrumental trio, com- posed of three young members of the com- mandery—Mr. E. S. Gee, Chas, O. Mills and Lewis Nicker, jr.—furnished excellent mu- sic. The odes were finely rendered, with Knight Sackett Duryee at the organ. The audience was large, embracing members from every commandery in the jurisdiction, At the close the supreme offi- cers held an informal reception. — > ALL WATCHED KAUCHER. Officers Who Spent May 1 Observing a Sergeant. Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court in the case of Police Sergeant Theodore Kaucher, charged with assaulting Mr. Fred. Harries, the court heard the defense after The Star’s report closed. A number of po- er the vicious or the thoughtless variety. pre arb UNION VETERANS’ UNION. Memortal ai Decorat Day Ser- vices—Gen. Bump: Order. Gen. L. D. Bumpus, department com- mander of the Union Veterans’ Union, has issued a general order showing the condi- tion of the order for the last quarter. It gives a healthy improvement, the total membership being now 353, a gain of 10 over the previous quarter. Memorial services will be held under the auspices of the U. V. U. on Sunday morn- ing, May 27, at 11 o'clock, when Rev.

Decoration day services will be held at Battlefield cemetery Wednesday at 11 a.m. “The department is now eight years old,” says the order, “and this is the first time we have attempted to observe this day in the District as a department. Lét us lay aside all excuses, take our wives, families and friends and make the observance of the day a grand success. There will be no tiresome march. The steps of cemetery can be reached by car from any part of the city. Take Brightwood electric cars on 7th street and get off at gate of ceme- tery.

The cemetery is a beautiful piace, with plenty of shade, and a good program of exercises has been arranged. —_—__. GIVES HIMSELF UP. Charlie Beveridge, Wanted for Policy Backing, Surrenders. Late yesterday afternoon Charlie Bever- idge, the alleged policy backer, for whose arrest a warrant has been in the hands of the police a number of weeks, appeared in the Police Court and announced that he was ready to answer the charge against him. His partner, George Gardner, as hére- tofore published in The Star, is serving a two months’ sentence in jail for conduct- ing a policy shop at Jackson City. Gardner | also surrendered when he appeared, the po- lice having been unable to catch him. Bev- eridge’s counsel promised several weeks ago to produce him, but Beveridge did not feel so inclined when the time came for his sur- render. Yesterday Beveridge and his bondsman, Mr. G. Taylor Wade, appeared in court, ig defendant was not represented by coun- sel. Mr. Mullowney, the prosecuting officer, fixed the bond at $1,000, which was given Detective Lacy, who had charge of the police end of the case, says he is ready to present the evidence in the case to the court and is anxious that the case should be heard at an early day. —_— > Confidence Workers. Mr. Charlies Erdmann, a well known and well-to-do citizen of Prince George's county. who lives not far from Suitland, appeared at police headquarters this morning and made complaint against two alleged confi- dence workers. He said that yesterday two men came to his house in a buggy, driving | two brown horses, and sold him twenty pieces of cloth. In payment of the bill he two promissory notes—one for $60 and other for $i. “According to Mr. Erd- n's story he selected the cloth and then : in the house to make out the notes. made them out and handed them over » men, and when they nad departed he d that the men had left him only nine pieces of cloth. A notice has been sent out to stop payment of the notes, but as gave they are perfectly good, Mr. Erdmann thinks they have probably been sold. pith Stas Carroll Institute. The excellent and popular orchestra of the Carroll Institute served as host last evening, entertaining a large number of friends in the cozy hall of the organization on 10th street. An attractive musical and literary entertainment was rendered by the Colum- bia Zither Club, Prof. Joyce and the pupils of his athletic class, the Trocadero Quartet, the Given brothers, Miss Pauline Isemann, r. Joseph Cullen, Mr. Charles W. Moore, Mr. Ed. Walsh, Mr. Percy Leach, Mr. rge O'Connor, and others. Dancing for the young folks followed, the affair proving most enjoyable and a com- plete success, ——__. the action of the grand jury. They were @lso wied on a charge of iarceny of a ham. | at 430,000, The village of Palmyra, Neb., was almost destroyed by fire Monday. Loss estimated lcemen, including Lieut. Teeple and the de- fendant, gave testimony. Lieut. Teepie Bave evidence to {he effect that he was watching Sergt. Kaucher, and, although he was about sixty feet from him, he was able to see every move he made. He was cer- tain that the sergeant did not do the club- bing. The other officers called were also on the alert for Kaucher, and the court con- cluded from their testimony that they paid but little attention to the crowd. The evidence of the officers put the affair in the street, while the clerks in the coast survey, who watched it from the windows, located it on the sidewalk near the parking. Sergt. Kaucher, in bis own behalf, denied that he struck Mr. Harries. He did re- member having pushed him. But Mr. Harries had a bruise on his shoulder, and it was not made by an ordi- nary gentle shove, such as the officer ad- mitted. Judge Kimball, in disposing of the case, said he*was at a loss to understand why Kaucher needed so much watching on that day. The assault, he said, was without jus- tification. Sergt. Kaucher, he thought, was honest in his convictions that he did not use the club, but the court could not set aside the evidence of so many reputable citizens on the showing made by the de- fense. Judge Kimball commented on the fact of there being a large and excited crowd on the street that day, and in im- posing the penalty he took into considera- | tion the past record of the officer, and made | the fine $10, remarking that if he had been before the court on similar charges before the penalty would have been much heavier. a COLORED M 'S RIGHTS. Faller Recognition to Be Demanded by an Association. Fifteen councils of the National Equal Rights Association were represented last evening at a convention held at the Met- ropolitan Baptist Church for the purpose of demanding a fuller recognition of the rights of the colored man.

HOLMES. A Farewell Banquet, With Speeches aud Compliments. Prof. W. H. Holmes, who recently severed his connection with the bureau of ethnology to accept the position of head of the depart- ment of anthropology in the great Field Columbian Museum at Chicago, was ten- dered a farewell banquet last evening that must have given him some idea of the pop- ular hold he has upon the scientists and artists of this city, among whom he has worked so long and so successfully. Prof. Holmes, who is both a scientist and an artist, has a world-wide reputation in his | special field of work, and from the speeches made last night it was evident that his co! leagues believe that the big new museum in | | Senerosity of a few women THE WIMODAUGHSIS ELECTION.

This organization, as is well known, has as @ purpose the encouragement and develop- ment of women, and offers to girls intel- lectual and ethical opportunities, such as the Young Men’s Christian Association pro- vides for men. It has been maintained for three years largely by the self-sacrificing of limited means. Very gradually it has made friends and commended itself to the community as an institution which deserves public co- Chicago could not do better than it did in | cperation. securing the services of Mr. Holmes at the | head of one of the three departments of the institution. Covers were laid for nearly a hundred in the tea room of Willard’s for the banquet last evening, and the occasion was marked | by every evidence of good fellowship, albeit | marked by more than the usual amount of regret at losing a member of the fraternity of Washington's learned men. Mr, Frank Hamilton Cushing of the bureau of ethnol- | ogy presided. At his right, about the tables | | which were beautifully decorated with flowers, were, Prof. Holmes, Prof. Charles D.Walcott, Dr. G. Brown Goode, and on his left Senor Zeballos, minister from the Argentine Republic; Prof. W. J. McGee, W. E. Curtis and Dr. Cyrus Adier. The first sp2ech of the evening, after the menu had been satisfactorily disposed of, was.made by Prof. G. Brown Goode of the National Museum, who responded to the toast of the scientific institutions of Wash- ington. He referred to his pride in enjoying the acquaintance of Prof. Holmes and to the fact that he was one of an original group of seven scientific investigators. Dr. T. C. Mendenhall of the coast and geodetic sur- vey followed him in a speech on Ohio, as the home of the guest, he himself hailing from the buekeye state. Other speeches were made by Mr. E. H. Miller, the artist, who spoke of the work done by Mr. Holmes as a water colorist; Dr. D. T. Day, Senor Zeballos, Mr. Wm. Eleroy Curtis, Prof. Thomas Wilson, Prof. Otis T. Mason, Judge J. D. McGuire and Prof. J. H. Gannett. Prof. W. J. McGee expressed the opinion that the dream of Jefferson for a great national university had been realized on a In addition to the officers, Miss Emma M. Gillett, president; Mrs. R. G. D. Haven: vice president; Mrs. Mary L. Bennett, treas- urer; Mrs. J. M. Bradley, corresponding secretary; Miss Fanny N. Edwards, recora- ing secretary, and Miss Ada L. Smith, su- perintendent, those in attendance were Miss Josepha Houghton, Mrs. H. J. Devoe, Mrs. Fanny Reynolds, Miss Hortense Kea- bles, Miss Adene Williams, Miss Catherine Garst, Mrs. B. B. Cheshire, Mrs. Ruth Bol- way, Mrs. Ella Mattock, Mrs. Hannah Sperry, Mrs. L. 8. Doolittle, Mrs. Anna M. Edgar, Mrs. E. Marble, Mrs, C. Case, Mrs. Alice Goodwin, Miss Mary H. Williams and Mrs. Ada Dickerson. The principal business transacted was the election of three directors and the reading of the reports of officers. The nominations of directors were made at an afternoon se- sion, and the polls were open from 2 until 7:30 o'clock. Miss Gillett, the president, in her report stated that the past year had been one of many anxieties, but of decided and material progress in the development of the more important lines of the work of the Wimodaughsis. In the opinion of the president, the present prite of tuition is the best rate possible. She announced that one of the plans for the coming year ts to rafse $1,000 to endow a chair to be called the “Susan B, Anthony Chair of Political Econ- omy,’ so that each winter a course of six lectures may be given on this subject. The report reviewed the work accomplished since the last annual meeting, compliment- | ed the officers fur their energy and interest | and closed as follows: “I believe we shall | live, live on our present plans modified to meet exigéficies, live as Wimodaughsis, and grand scale, and that the scientific institu tions of Washington were in many depart- ments leading the world. Prof. William Flint read a poem, and Prof. Charles D. Walcott presented Prof. Holmes, in behalf of his friends, with a large silver loving cup. The banquet closed with a graceful acknowledgment of the honor paid him by Prof. Holmes, in which he declared that for the encouragement in undertaking his new work he would be willing to go to a worse place than Chicago. All rose and sang “Auld Lang Syne,” and a very pleasant Incident in the life of a deservedly popular man was completed. ——— AMUSEMENTS, Academy of Music.—The large audience that assembled at the Academy of Music last night was somewhat disappointed be- cause “Carmen” was not sung, but the great majority stayed and were greatly pleased at the Way in which “Faust” was sung and acted. Mme, Koert-Kronold was unable to sing, and so “Carmen” could not be given. The management refunded the money to those who so desired it, or ex- changed their tickets for Monday night, when that opera will be repeated. “Faust” Was presnted even better than on Tuesday night, and there was the additional attrac- tion of Sig. Del Puente, who sang the role of Valentine. ‘The liberal applause and frequent encores testified fully to the satis- faction of the audience. Tonight Meyer- beer’s great opera, “The Huguenots,” will be given with the full strength of this ex- cellent company. The Marine Band Concert.—Tomorrow night the Marine Band will give a concert at Convention Hall, The object is to pay for corps and army society floral badges to be placed around the bases vf the statues to the Union and confederate soldiers, the flag presented to R. 5.

If there is a surplus it will ferm the nucleus of a national peace jubilee fund for 1895. The program will be mn attractive one, and the band will be heard at its best. Marteau and Campanari.—Henry rteau, the young French violinist who was heard here a few weeks ago, capturing his hearers by his masterly handling of that king of instruments, returns for a farewell con- cert on Monday evening, May 28, at Metze- rett Hall. He brings with him another artist, who is sure of a cordial weleome— Guiseppe Campanari, the baritone, who, it is remembered, appeared with Mary Howe | when she sang here. The pianist is Amie Lachaume, a most capable artist. Seats go on sale Monday morning, May Zi, at Metz- erott’s music store. ee Teachers’ Aid Society. In spite of the rainy weather last evening a large audience was in attendance at the musical and literary entertainment, togeth- er with the ice cream and strawberry fes- tival, at the Force school, given by the pupils of that school for the benefit of the Teach- ers’ Annuity and Ald Association of this city. The selected program consisted of avenue northwest.—Advt, dancing, singing, recitations and instru- mental music, which, together with the Walcott Orchestra, made the evening an enjoyable one to the large number present. The rooms and halls of the school were tastefully decorated with greens and Amer- ican flags, which presented a pretty appear- ance. After the regular program was ove;, ice cream, strawberries, lemonade and candy were to be had at popular prices, which increased the fund to a large extent. This entertainment given at the Force school is among the large number that are being given by the respective schools for the benefit of the Teachers’ Annuity and Aid Association of the District. The motive of this organization is to provide for the teach- ers who have faithfully served in the public schools, but are no longer able to continue in the work or to provide other means of support for themselves. Similar organiza- tions have been formed for the same pur- pose in the different cities. The entertainment last night was under the general supervision of Mr. B. W. Murch, principal of the school, who was assisted by Miss Fairley and Miss Chase; but the other teachers of the building rendered their serv- ices for the entertainment. — For the Eye of the He: To the Editor of The Evening Sta: Coxey and his “bums” were compelled to leave the city because it was feared they would create a nuisance, and further, be- cause they created no wealth, spent no money, nor caused others to spend it. A real estate syndicate is maintaining a nuisance (in the shape of a pond of stag- nant water) on the vacant square bounded by 11th, 12th, I and K streets northeast. And as it is neither spending any money, nor permitting others to spend any, on that square, is it not about time that Dr. Hammett, in his official capacity as health officer, interfered, and compelled them to either drain the square or sell it to those who will drain it? One case, at least, of typhoid-malaria has occurred from that square, and others are suspected. Is the law insufficient to meet the case? Can a citizen be compelled to provide an air- tight receptacle for his garbage, and a dozen citizens be permitted to infect the “air we breathe” at our cost and detri- ment? Or is 11th and I streets northeast too far out for Dr. Hammett’s olfactory nerves to locate the odor? The people who go down the river in boats are entitled to protection f>om nauseating smells, and we think the people who attend the Church of the Holy Name, on 11th and I streets | northeast, or who live in the above locality | are equally entitled to the same protection. Thinking thus, we ask that you publish this, in the belief that Dr. Hammett, while | reading The Star, may read of our danger and at once take steps to remove the of- fending cause. HAS. P. PEAKE. May 15, 1804, eee The Universalist Club’s Reception.

Mrs. Bradley read her report as delegate to the National Council of Women held in Phila- delphia on May 7 and 8, and also that as corresponding secretary of the Wimo- daughsis, both of which were received with applause. Mrs, Bennett, the treasurer, an- nounced that at the beginning of the year there was a balance on hand of $7.69; $5,575.18 had been received from all sources, | the disbursgments amouniing to $3,430.86. Other interésting and appreciated papers were read by Miss Fanny Edwards, Miss Adene Williams, Miss Catherine Garst, Miss \ Ada G. Dickerson and Miss Annie Tolman Smith. It was then announced that a debate be- tween representatives of the Y. M. C. A. and the Wimodaughsis will take place In the gymnasium hall of the former organiza- tion on Saturday evening. An excursion to Marshall Hall has been arranged for Mon- day, May 21. The counting of the votes | for three members of the board of directors, in place of Dr. Caroline Winslow,Miss Emily | Howland and Miss Lucy Anthony, was next in order.

D. | Havens, Miss F. N. Edwards, Mrs. Ada G. Dickerson, Miss Emma L, Gillett and Miss Anna H. Shaw. There being no further business on hand the meeting then adjourned.

The woman called him, so he says, and he went home with her. What transpired in her room™was told in the Police Court this morning. Phillips reported to the police that he had been badgered to the tune cf $4, and Officers Barry and Flathers went to the house and made several arrests. Minnie Johnson and her cousin, Eva Travis, were taken in custody, as were two men, Charles Miller and Robert Lewis. Miller and an unknown young man were charged to have figured in the badger game, while Eva Travis and Robert Lewis were arrested because they were found in the house. According to the evidence of Phillips, he went home with the girl, and soon after he entered Minnie’s room Miller and the unknown entered. The latter inquired of him what he was doing with his (the un- known's) wife. “I didn’t know she was your wife,” said Phillips, who was badly frightened. erie one said: “Why don’t you square ‘Well, I will,” said Minnie. “Give me I only have $4, but you may take that.” ‘And she took it,” said Phillips. Minnie denied the charge. She said that there was no trouble in the room what- ever, and she and Phillips parted friends. Miller, who says he is an electric ight worker, made a statement in his own be- half, denying the charge that he partici- pated in the badger game. His mother appeared in the case and told the judge that her son was a good boy. “He isn’t as good as you think remarked ,the’ judge, who read the man a severe lecture and released 5 Eva Travis, who is @ cousin of Mirinie’s, came hereon an excursion from Richmond, and Judge Kimball released her upen a es to return — e. 4 Minnie was sent down for thi days, and the Lewis boy was paring Beecham’s Pills are for biliousness, bilious tead- ache, dyspepsia, heartburn, torpid Liver, dizziness, sick headache, bad taste ‘in the mouth, coated tongue, loss of appetite, sallow skin, when caused by consti- pation; and constipation is the most frequent cause of all of them.
