Jewell & Company tallow and guano fac- tory at the foot of Ist street, on Buzzard's Point, the proprietors, C. B. Jewell and Henry Norton, are to be tried in the Police Court on a charge of maintaining a nui- wance. Inspector Beaumont of the health t swore out the warrant, which was served yesterday and returned to the Police Court today. Mr. R. Ross Perry appeared as counsel in the case, and demanded a jury trial. The case went over, and bond was given for the appearance of the persons charged. ——-—_——_ Believed to Be Edward Lillie. Baltimore detectives think that the old Man, supposed to be Alexander Stewart, ‘who was asphyxiated by gas in that city cn Monday, is rene other than Edward Lillie, at one time one of the most notorious confidence men, forgers and boarding house thieves im the eccuntry. Lillie’s picture adorns the pages of Superintendent Byrne: “Criminals of America,” also con- ‘tains a long sketch of his criminal career. He was known under the alias of Henry A. ‘Watson throughout this country and Canada @s 2 most accomplished crook. It is stated that Lillie was a tent and awning maker ta this city in his early days. ——_ —_ Metropo Charch Chapel.

An interesting Ciscussion was indulged in rels tive to the powers of the court-martial com- mittee in cases of absenteeism from parades and drills. An amendment to the constitu- tion requiring all names of absentees to be sent to the co} partial committee for investigation was offered, and, under the ules, laid over one month.

There was an atmosphere of cheer around Pythian headquarters teday, in strong con- trast to the dismal, drizzling weather. Sec- retary Percy G. Smith, Solicitors Donnelly and McClintock and several members of the executive committee were at work at | an hour to indicate that they meant to hook the worm. Although there was no | committee meeting scheduled for last night, | yet Secretary Medford, Vice Chairman Hels- ley and others were at headquarters till late. Although all the gentlemen named were industrious in the performance of their duties, yet they spared enough time to dis- cuss the situation with The Star man and to tell him what they thought of the gail- roads that lead to Washington. Very many of the observations which the committeemen made about the roads were couched in parliamentary words, and yet it is possible that at least one repre- sentative of the roads would not have felt flattered because of things which were said. The committce Is provoked at the action of the roads. It is claimed by the committee that the success of the encampment and convention hinges mainly upon the rates, and that the bigger the succéss, the more the roads will make. Thus far the lines have failed tg announce rates and it is not known positively whether they have con- sidered the question. The opinion of the committee is that each road is holding back through fear that another road may gain some advantage. Money From Steam Railroads. It is also stated that the réads have re- fused to make any contribution to the fund. The following is a copy of a letter which was received yesterday by Mr. Goodhart, the chairman of the executive committee, from Mr. Robert A. Parke, passenger agent of the southeastern division of the Penn- sylvania railroad: “Referring to recent correspondence bear- ing on the subject of subscriptions to the fund for the entertainment of visiting nights of Pythias on the occasion of the encampment in August next, I beg to ad- vise you that on account of the general de- pression, which has had a very marked effect on the earnings of transportation lines, our company bas not felt justified in entertaining favorably the application on the part of your committee for a subscrip- tion. I assure the executive committee that | our compeny stands ready and willing to aid iy any other way to make the encamp- ment in this city a grand success. It is | thought that the disposition on the part of the transportation lines centering In Wash- ington to favor low rates and of having the same properly advertised would, to a cer- tain extent, overcome the disappointment natural on the part of the committee in not receiving a subscription to the fund.” The committee is dissatisfied with this. | The street railroad companies, the river | Steamship lines, the hotels and boarding houses, and the merchants have been put- | ting up their contr!butions in a willing way, ) and to have the ratlroads hold back in this fashion tends, it is believed, to retard pro- gress and jeopardize the encampment. The committee think that if the matter is prop- erly placed before the heads of the rail- reads, they will see that a contribution is in furtherance of their own interests. Try a Petsonal Visit. It is probable that a committee -will go over to Philadelphia tomorrow or next day for an interview with General Passenger Agent Wcod of the Pennsylvania rdad, and perhaps other authorities of that corpora- tion. Chairman Heisley of the transporta- tion committee fs fn favor of immediate ac- tion in this matter. It is said to be unpre- cedented for the railroads to fail to help along a celebration of this kind, when they are to be the chief beneficiaries of it. The citizens of Washington are subscrib- ing enthusiastically, and the committee thinks that it is unfair ‘f the railroads do rot come into the fold. Chairman Heisley will so over to Philadelphia just as soon as | he can get three or four members of the transportation committee together. Gen. John E. Smith, the secretary of the committee, possibly has some information on this railroad complication, but he could not b> found when the reporter called at his office in the Warder building. Tf he has nothing satisfactory to report, he will also be one of the committee to jump the train for an interview with the heads of the rail- roads that are kicking over the traces. Fiseal Advocates McClintock and Donnel- ly reported this morning that several good size subscriptions were realized and that there was an increasing confidence on the part of the people in the greatness of the affair and the reliability of the pledges which have been made by the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias. Camp Notes. Tonight is the time set for the first of the two performances of the “Mikado” to be |given at the Academy of Music by the Ideal Opera Company for the benefit of the ercampment. The advance sale is gratify- ing, but the sale of tickets tonigat, it is thought, will be very heavy. The committee on camp and camp grounds! are working with vim. Blue prints of the/ proposed camp have been made, and the| cuts will soon be in the hands of the iodges and divisions of the order in the United States. Among the requests for hotel quarters to- | day were those from Capt. J. H. Hoffman of the second regiment ef Indiana and G. J. Neubert of a western grand lodge. The committe on press is to hold a meet- ing tonight at the headquarters of the ex- ecutive committee. Several items of conse- quence are expected to come up for con- sideration, and the cause requires that there be a goodly attendance of the mem- bers of this important and necessary com- mittee. —_*—.__. STREET OBSTRUCTIONS. Jadge Kimba Thinks the Law Should Be Untformly Enforeed. Several days ago Judge Kimbal! addressed | a letter to the Commissioners calling atten- tion to the prosecitions under the law pro- hibiting certain alleged obstructions in front of houses. These prosecutions are generally against business men for the erection of signs or awnings in violation of law. In almost every case tried the defend- ant comp!ains of similar obstructions on the part of his neighbors, and for which the lat- | ter are not prosecuted. These complaints have made the infliction of the penalty a matter of embarrassment to the court, and because there has not been any uniformity in the matter of ‘these prosecutions, the judge wrote the letter. He thinks it not exactly fair that the police should prosecute only one of a number violating the same law. The letter was referred to the attorney, | who, in his report, quotes the different laws | on this subject, and cludes: “I would | suggest that Judge Kimball's comniunica- tion be called to ihe attention of the police | partment, since he complains that the | e neglect to enforce the ordinances in | Fd to street obstructions, in order that | | the matter complained of may be cor- rected.” —_——____ The Alabama Society. The Alabama Society of the District of Columbia held its first public reception at | Union Veteran Legion Hall last evening. About 200 persons were present. Capt. Blackwell, the president, spoke briefly of the ial of the society, which was about six weeks ago.

Charles White, an able-bodied man, a member of the commonweal army,showed no evidences of starvation when he appeared in Judge Kimball's court this morning for trespassing on the grass. It was not his fault that he did not violate the law in the Capitol grounds, for he was so much under the influence of liquor that he scarcely knew whether he was in a public park or the commonweal camp. He came to the city yesterday in order to change his diet and the liquid refreshments he got put him in a drowsy condition. During the evening he made a start in the right direction for camp, but upon reaching Stanton Square he crawled under a tree and made his bed | on the grass. The bed was as good as he had had in camp, and with nothing to dis- turb him he soon fell asleep. But he was unfortunate to snore loud enough to be heard from the walk, and so soundly was he sleeping that Policeman Wheeler had some difficulty in his efforts to arouse him. He finally succeeded, how- ever, end then the officer and his prisoner marched to the ninth precinct station, reaching there about 1 a.m. “Guilty,” the prisoner enswered, when arraigned. The policeman stated the case against him and said it took him ten minutes to arouse the sleeper. “Where are you from?” the court asked the prisoner. “I'm stopping in Bladensburg just now,” was his response. “And if you let me go,” be added, “I'll leave the city as soon as possible."" “Five dollars or 15 days,” said the court. As White was charged with offending against a District ordinance he will spend his time in the work house, where he will wear striped clothes and perform manual labor,, and will not go to jail to spend his time with the leader of the army. Three Will Leave the City. There were three other cases of persons charged with trespass given o hearing. Two of them were pensioners, who gave their rames as Thomas L. Crossby and John Warren. These men expressed a desire to leave the city and had sufficient funds for the purchase of railroad tickets. They were released and sent to the railroad sta- tion in charge of an officer. Henry Hudson was the third member of party. ‘I'm a stranger in the cit m a telegraph operator from New York look- ing for work.” they let persons sleep in the parks in New York?" the judge asked. “Well, your honor,” said the prisoner, “I was tired and stopped on the grass to rest myself.” “Had you been drinking?” asked the ourt. “I had taken three or four glasses of beer.” “Don't you think it was as much beer as it was tired?” “IT guess it was.” Hudson said he would leave the city and return home if given an opportunity to do so, and the court released him on his per- sonal bonds. ed PRIZES FOR RL STUDENTS. Annual Commencement Exercises Last Evening of Wai ton College. Last evening the annual commencement exercises of Mrs. Sarah Irwin Mattingly's Washington College took place at the Church of Our Father. There was but one gradu- ate, but as all the different departments of the school were grouped upon the platform the scene was a most attractive one. Miss Edith Maud Foster was the graduate, and after receiving her diploma, was crowned with a wreath of laurei by Miss Mary Ir- win, vice president of the college. A piano solo, Liszt's “Rhapsodie Hongrots,” by Prof. John Porter Lawrence, preceded the exer- cises. Miss Foster delivered a finished vale- dictory, and Mr. Chas. E. Hooker, jr., ad- dressed brief remarks to the students. A pleasant part of the evening for the stu- dents was the distribution of prizes. Miss Foster was awarded two medals, in French and classics; Miss Marie Mattingly, the art medal, donated by Mrs. C. K. Davis; Miss May Austin, the junior graduate, the medal for Latin; Miss Mary O'Farrell, the medal for music, donated by Mrs. Gen. Hooker; Miss Mary Smith, the six-year-old daughter of Secretary Smith; Jerome and Lorimer Graham were awarded medals for reading. Honors were also bestowed on Jewel Hay. Ruth and Marion Potts, Marjorie Colton, Esther Spier and May Robinson. Solos and recitation by Miss Marie Mattingly, a man- dolin soio by Miss Alys Marble, with -piano accompaniment by Miss Morgan, and the coronation song by the students were fea- tures of the exercises. ——_ POLICEMAN KING’S CASE Postponed on, Account of the | of Mrs. Binck. The case of Policeman Charles King of the third precinct, charged with assaulting Mrs. Annie M.' Black, colored, while pur- suing a fugitive who ran in her house, was set for trial in the Police Court today, but a physician's certificate stating that the pros- ecuting witness was unable to appear was received and the case was again postponed. For the Teachers’ Aid Association The fund of Teachers’ Annuity and Aid Association is increasing rapidly through the efforts of the pupils of the public schools. Last evening an entertainment under the auspices of the Taylor School, for the benefit of the-above | fund, attracted a large audience to Eastern High School Hall, and those who attended were more than repaid, for the features presented included many of more than or- dinary interest and merit. The program comprised: Cherus, “Morning Invitation,” seventh and eighth grade pupils; song,““The Little Midshipmite,” Miss Florence Stid- ham; doll drill, first and second grade pu- pils; song, Miss Grace McCulloch; recita- tion, Flossie Hillengass; chorus, third and fourth grade pupils; vocal duet, “Reuben and Rachel,"’ Will Barker and Sarah Bogue; song, Mrs. Anna Craig Hills; gems from “Pinafore; drill, seventh and eighth grade pupils; battle march,Sawyer Fife and Drum Corps; recitation, George Lawrence; song, “The Gondolier’s Serenade,’ .Mr. W.

The accompanists were Mrs. Pat- terson, Mr. Hoover, Misses Gertrude Mc- Culloch, Hopkins, Sterner and Slater. Mr. Holbert Chappel acted as director of drill, and to Mrs. Patterson and Mr. W. H. Dan- jel credit Is due for much of the success of the whistling chorus, -_ The Children’s Country Home. Tomorrow afternoon, the weather per- mitting, the ladies in charge of the Chil- dren's Country Home will give their friends and well-wishers an opportunity to con- tribute to the support of this worthy charity by means of a garden party, to be held on the grounds of the home. The season is about to open, the children are waiting with greatest eagerness for a chance to get into the fresh air and woods, and the funds of the institution need replenishing. The managres have decided to give tais garden party to furnish their contributors an op- portunity to enjoy an afternoon in the country themselves. The home is to be reached by a most delightful drive, being cated on Grant road near Broad Branch. It is about ten minutes’ walk from the Chevy Chase cars, which should be left at | the Grant road, where conveyances will be in waiting. The grounds will be open from 4 to 7 o'clock, and refreshments will be served. There will be special feature, in the form of a table devoted to the building fund of the home. The present structure {3 hardly large enough to accommodate the scores of children who desire rtnight of recreation, and as become a necessity. Hence the building fund. There are now accommo- dations for twenty little ones to be taken at places at’ the home 1s tremendous. The opens on the 2ist of June, and the lists are now overflowing. tale 5 The Cattle Market.

This was especially true with “Pinafore” anj “Oli- vette,” and the latter is doing remarkable business. It was the intention of the man- agement to put on “Paul Jones,” following “Olivette,” but it was found that, owing to the peculiarities of the opera, sufhcient time would not be had for rehearsal. In view of this fact, it was decided to put on Johann Strauss’ melodious composition. “Gypsy Baron,” which had a phenomenal run of 275 nights in New York on its first presentation. The “Gypsy Baron” has not been seen in Washington for many years. It will be produced here by the Strakosch Opera Company, with all the accessories of new scenery and bright and beautiful cos- tumes, which have been ordered especially from New York for this presentation. The cast a very strong one, including Laura Millard, Mamie Gilroy, Louise Moore, Alice Hosmer, John G. Bell, Fred Huntley, Charles A. Bigelow, J. K. Adams and a number of other well-known principals who have become favorites here. The sale of Seats for the “Gypsy Baron” begins to- morrow. Academy of Music.—Tonight the popular cpera, “The Mikado,” one of the best that Gilbert and Sullivan ever wrote, will be pre- sented at the Academy of Music by the Ideal Opera Company, for the benefit of the Knights of Pythias encampment fund. The company is composed of some of the best amateur singers and actors in the city, and the performance will be a good one. Mr. D. B. MacLeod is the director, and his experience and ability are wel! known. There will be three performances, tonight, tomorrow night and Friday afternoon, and it is expected that the Academy will be well filled on each occasion, Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The colored championship tournament for the Richard K. Fox gold medals at the Lyceum Theater Friday and Saturday, June 8 and 9, prom- ises to be the most important athletic event of the season. It is said that Richard K. Fox, proprietor of the Police Gazette, and famous for the interest he has exhibited in sporting affairs, will witness the con- tests from one of the boxes. The Pastime Athletic Club, under whose direction the tournament will be, has arranged with ing the championship in their respective classes. Two star boxers, weighing 128 and 140 pounds, will be on hand to meet all comers in their classes, and the club has arranged to give special bouts for extra rizes. Altogether the tournament will be he most interesting of athletic contests ever given in this city. Each bout will be strictly on its merits. An experienced and impartial referee has been engaged, and his own timekeeper. Female Walking Match.—On Monday, June 11, at Kernan’s Summer Garden, wili commence a series of female walking con- tests. The ladies will in each match walk seventy-two hours, for the championship of the world. The race will be divided as follows: Six hours pe> day, afternoons from 4 to G6 and evenings from 8 to 12 midnight.

He also has a stand- ing challenge to walk against any man in the world for from $00 to $2,000 a side, or he will forfeit $100 to any one whom he fails to beat. Manager Kernan’s Benefit.—It is almost eight years since Manager Eugene Kernan began his career in this city as proprietor and manager of Kernan’s Lyceum Theater. In that time he has conducted his place of amusement in a manne: that calls for praise from all lovers of legitimate variety shows, and has establishad for himself a business that belongs in the front rank of successes. Following a plan iaid out with his inaugural season, that of taking an an- nual benefit as a_ testimonial from his friends, the cozy little lyceum wi filled Monday night to repletion with representa- tive people of all classes, and this year’ benefit will stand as one of Mr. iKernan’s greatest successes. A xreat crowd swept into the theater with the opening gf the doors at 7 o'clock, and by & o'clock,” when the orchestra played the overture standing room could not be had, many being turned away. The program was a long one, and embraced volunteers from all branches of the variety professioa, boxing by novices and professionals, and concluded with a hilarious cake walk, participated In by many of the best colored cake walkers } the city. —— ONLY BREAD NOW At the Commonweal Camp, and Supply of That Limited. e With a view, probably, to offset the anti- Coxey hosts of Capt. Hendricks, New Eng- land has sent down twenty-five men, under Christ, and they reached the camp at High- lands yesterday. They were foot-sore and hungry, having walked all the way from Elkton, Md., during the day, and the: rather surprised and altogether disgusted to find that only dry breal and water awaited them at the end of their long tramp. They are about the best-looking set of men who have reached this vicinity so far in the guise of industrials, and several of them expressed themselves as being very much mortified at finding that the much- lauded Coxey army was in such a state of dilapidated disorganization. Even the most hopeful of the original commonwealers are getting the blues over the present condition of affairs, and are slowly reaching the conclusion that it will be impossible for them to remain together and expect to escape starvation. The people whose sympathy has hitherto led them to assist the army with food and provisions have either become tired or unable to con- tinue their donations, and when the limited supply of flour now on hand in the com- rronweal camp is exhausted, the most san- further sustenance will come from. The miserable weather, too, is greatly adding to the sufferings of the industrials, and, alto- gether, the condition of the Coxeyites, Gal. vinites and all the other branches of the industrials in Prince George's county ts nething less than deplorable, Home or Abroad GLAD TO RECOMMEND MOOD'S BECAUSE IT CURED. “In the spring of 1892 T was all sun down, my appetite was poor, had severe headiches and was also aMicted with liver and kidney in- digestion ani con to take Hood's Sa T aid so to feel better.

Farewell Reception to Rev. Mr.White, Missionary to China. Rev. Hugh W. White, now under appoint- ment as missionary to China, and who ex- pects to start for his new field in July or early in August, was tendered a farewell reception last evening by the Laura Pitzer Missionary Circle of the Central Presby- terian Church. The chapel was very taste- fully decorated with flowers, and the walls were hung with crayon sketches, flags of the various missionary countries and in- teresting curios, which had been collected and used in connection with the work of the circle during the year. Pretty girls in becoming evening dresses made the scene a fair one. Rev. Dr. A. W. Pitzer presided. and in a few words spoke of the interest the church took in having its own missionary, and told how the idea was first started about a year ago, with an individual contribution of $100, around which others had steadily gathered. A hymn was sung by members of the ju- nior society, and then Mr. White very briefly told how he came to select China as the field for his labors, and briefly outlined his plans. He referred to the fact that China ts, numerically, the greatest nation on the face of the earth, and it is the key to the whole Mongolian race, and, though India and Africa have vast numbers of un- evangelized, yet the number is not so great as in the teeming provinces of the celestial empire. Mr. White noted the fact that | nearly all of the missionary effort now be- ing carried on in China is confined to the | Coast and the treaty cities. He said it was | his plan, as soon as he had mastered the jlanguage, to push out Into the Interior, | Where the Gospel had never yet been car- | ried. Mr. White's remarks were earnest, jand his fervid manner and noble self- | sacrifice produced a deep impression on the | large audience assembled to bid him good- | bye and God-speed. During the evening Mrs. Pitzer, the presi- | dent of the missionary circle, was presented | | with a beautiful hand-painted plaque, the | Work of Miss Edith Smith, as a token of | the love and affection of the society to |its president. Mr. Thomas C. Barr pre- | sented the gift with a few well-chosen | words, which were responded to by Dr. | | Pitzer on behalf of his wife.
