The hot weather last evening had a de- Pressing effect on the members of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ 4ssocia- tion, and the attendance at the reguiar monthly meeting was small.there being less than a dozen members in attendance when the meet.ng was called to order. Secretary Hinternesch read the minutes of the last meeting, which were adopted. Tne com- mittees of the association were not largely represented by reports. President Frizzell said that the railroad committee had no report to mae, “but,” he sald, “there have been two grade-crossing deaths since our last mecting, but fortunately they were both on the other road. It will be our turn next, I suppose.” President Frizzell sald-he referred to the deaths of Miss Robey and Mr. Garr‘son, the latter death haviag taken place in t! He spoke of the action of the Com- missioners following tne death of Miss Robey, and he added one cf ihe deaths was the result of the failure on part of the railroad company to have a ight on a backing engine, a matter which, he sald, had been discussed before the association. Chairman Tucker of tie committee (n proposed legislation said he had no formal report to make, but the cofmittee could report progress. He told of the inspection made of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks by members of the Hause committee, and of the rough experience and narrow “escapes. The committee, he said, had als> been working on the asseasmen= Dill, and said he was satisfied that the final bill would prove a great improvement over the Present method. Another matter that has attracted the atieaticn of the committee is the matter of the reservatiog at Delaware avenue and H stress. He gave the asso- cfation an idea of tbe maaneg in which ihe ground has. been -Ilegaily oseupied by the ratlroad company. Concerning the excur- sion of members he Hous? committee, who Went over the line of the railroad favored the plan of the association, an, he suid, the rallroud officials informed memberz of the commit- tee that the company fs really anxious te get rid of the grade crossings. President Frizzell told of his visit to the Capitol, Saturday, the day after the com- he thought the members mittee’s excursion over the tracks, and said | he saw a member of the committee who had not seen the iracks. He (Frizzeil) had suggested, in a mild way, that the commit- tee make its report at an early day. He spoke of the difficulty in gecting the mem- bers of the commitice together, and suid ne Was anxious that the matter should get pe- fore the House at an early date. Help From the Citizens. “We need the assistance of every man in Northeast Washington,” sald Mr. Tuck “if we want to get this rallroad bil through. Every man shouli see bis Con- gressman, or friends of Consressmen, and have them present the House when the bill is up for consideratiup.” “Every man in North:as* Washington,” said President Friz‘wil, “is interested in the matter, and shouid be -villing to do a little work." He said that the citizens were too siow in the matter, aad some of they don't atiend che 1 reasons, and he 3s: meeting be held at be discussed. Mr Sowerbutts said he thought a good plan would be to address a circular letter to the different members, making the mat- ter a personal appeal. The committee on public conveyance had no report to make, but President Frizzell remarked: “We are going to have a cable road out here.” Chairman Holsten made a report of the work of the s@nitary com- mittee, showing a number of nuisances re- ported, and the action of the health office thereon. “And,” said Chatrmane Holsten, “I want to give my heartfelt thanks to the health officer for his: prompt action in the matter,” , Mr. Sowerbutts then offered the follow- Ing: Resolved, That the absence of a free pub- lic Hbrary is a disgrace to the city of Washington, and ‘those in authority over and the varicus citizens’ associatiei hereby urged to take such action ai will secure to the city this much-need improvement. Also that a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the various citizens’ asso- clations of the city, requesting them to a mass which the matter couid | take action thereen. Need of a Free Library. “I think, Mr. President,” said Mr. Sow- erbutts, “it is certainly a disgrace that we have no free library. A number of at- tempts have been made to {naugurate such a scheme, but they all seem to have failed. Organizations of various kinds have made starts, but there has been no con- certed action, and I think that if all the or- | sanizations acted together something would be accomplished.” Mr. Tucker sald he favored anything that would assist in the establishment of a free public Mbrary, but he said that the question of such a library had been dis- cussed by members of the board of trade and through the able agency of Mr. Theo- dore W. Noyes, chairman of the board of trade committee, he said, a very compre- hensive plan had been fermulated, and a plan which he thought Congress would certainly adopt. He tpought any action of | this kind would be a Mttle late. This asso- ciation, he sald, mighg indorse the action of the board of trade. "Mr. Martin also ob- jected to the resolution, especially the lan- guage used in the resolution concerning the “disgrace to those in authority over us.” Mr. Sowerbutts then withdrew the objec- tlonable part of the resolution, and offered a substitute, indorsing the work done by the board of trade. This was adopted, and the association adjourned. . — THE GOLDEN CROSS. Election of Officers in Two Local Com- manderies.

Albaugh’s.—The presentation of a new work is always an ocasion of interest. Washington has come to be a city in which dramatists and managers have begun to believe that the verdict of the theater-going | People is sufficiently critical to act as a standard of excellence. Charles Frohman has for the past few years regularly given the initial performances of his most impor- tant plays in this city, and the verdict of the Washington audience has been the test of the play's success. “Wilkinson’s Wid- ows” made an instantaneous success when it was first produced here, and its popular- ity extended all over the country. The same may be said of Bronson Howard's ‘‘Aris- tocracy,” Franklin Fyle's and David Belas- co's e Girl I Left Behind Me” and other plays that might be mentioned. During last spring an opera by two Washington young men, called ‘‘The Three Dukes,” was pre- sented by amateurs, and it was very favor- E 8 Opera House “Marken; or, the Legend of Vuur-Bril,” an opera, the book of which was written by Mr. Philander Johnson of The Evening Star and the music by Mr. J. Emory Shaw, also of Washington, was given its first presentation by the Strakosch Comic Opera Company. Perhaps it is wrong to say that this opera was presented, for it was not. Portions of the music were sung and some of the dialogue was spoken, but the company was wholly inadequate to a proper interpretation of the music and ut- terly incompetent to grasp the meaning of the lines. The story has already been told in The Star, and it only ‘need be’said that the music is In every way worthy of the book. This can only be asserted by one who has heard the music played by the ¢om- poser, for last night many of the tureful numbers were ruthlessly cut and much that was sung was so imperfectly given as to convey no adequate impression of its excel- lence. The opera opened in fairly good shape and went along without any great hitch until it came to Mr. Huntley’s solo, in which he absolutely went to pieces, forget- ting both lines and music. His downfall seemed to rattle both orchestra and cast, and, with a few exceptions, neither at- tempted to do their best afterward. There would be times when they would get to- gether and run smoothly for a while, and then the audience would applaud their ef- forts; but these were simply oases in a des- ert of uncertainty and incompetei The two In the cast who did the best work were Alice Hosmer Sophia and Maurice Hege- man as Jacob van Heemskerk. They were fairly familiar with their parts and acted with considerable spirit, particularly Miss Hosmer. Miss Georgia Bryton ‘as Marte was a lively soubrette and made as much out of the part as was possible for‘her. To the credit of Miss Louise Moore,”"who at- tempted the part of Elsa, it must be said that she was the only one in th¢'¢ast who knew her lines and who sang every note of the music allotted to her. big enough for the role, but she consel- entiously did her best. Mr. John Bell, who took the part of Derrick, did not properly conceive the character, but in his two topl- | cal songs he was effective and. received several encores. The chorus did the only really good work and deserved the applause they received. The prayer in the first act, which was sung without accompaniment, was given in good form and the waltz move- ment with which the finale of the first act closes was spiritedly sung and worked up to @ good climax, which fully merited the en- core that followed. ea eas pe “The legend of the Vuur-Brttt; tipo which the story of the whole work hangs, was so badly given by Mr. Huntley that it marred all the rest of the performance, and the work of the orchestra was lament- ably mefficient. The dance by the children in the second act was well done. It ts not pleasant to thus excoriate a company, but there was such a manifest indisposition to do good work, and utter carelessness of re- sults, that no other course is open. Had they played and sung the opera as it is written, conscientiously doing their best, the work would have stood on its merits, but the performers seemed to think that their lines were tter than those of the author, and as to the music, they appeared to select such numbers as they knew, or rather thought they knew, leaving out the others. This was not fair to the opera, nor was it just to themselves. In the third act some four or five vocal numbers were eliminated, and a great deal of the dial 5 which destroyed ull continuity ‘and res the action absurd. is. & 7 If given under proper auspices, and a competent company, the opera woutd us ably prove an Interesting and a&ttracti contribution to the list of comic operas now before the public. The living pictures that were shown be- tween the second and third acts of the Opera were artistic representations and each was loudly applauded. The best of those given last week were again shown and sev- eral others were introduced. The new pic- tures shown last night were Jean Aubert's “Cupid's Vacation,” L. Ferrault’s ‘Lady in the Hammock, Renauf's ‘The Wave” and Emile Bayard’s “The Ferryman:” Al- together there were eighteen pictures dis. played. ttf National.—A very fair audienge‘came to the National to see the summer comedians in a new performance last ore night. CPhietime it was Buckst. and Robertson's “Hom ter than good. “A Kiss in the Dark,” with Mr. Coote, Mr. Mackay, Miss‘ Stevens and Miss Findlay, made a great hit and caught the house vigorously, Mr. Coote’s work be- ing especially noteworthy, though Mr. Coote does nothing poorly. In “Home,” a three-act comedy, there is more room for continued effort, and each part was tained cleverly throughout, Mr. Mackay, as Captain Montrappe ¢oing the best work he done so far, and winning much praise, and Miss Gallatin, in a serious part, showing a power which those who do not know her well had no idea she possessed. Miss Stevens and Mr. Bond in thelr court- ing scene at the plano were simply delight- ful in their delicacy. It is hardly necessary to say anything about Miss Sanders and Wheelock, jr., as juvenile lovers, or of Mr. Findlay as an old man. The parts could not be done better. “Home” is a bit more pretentious in its dramatic requirements than any of its predecessors, and calls for more ambitious effort, but the call was re- sponded to fully, and plenty left In stock for more calls. All around, the bill for this week is better than any of the season. ae Albaugh’s to Be Closed Tonight. Owing to the failure of the new opera as produced at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House last night, and {t being impossible to pre- ent an attraction which would be satis- factory to the public, Manager Allen has decided to close the house tonight. oe Soa Christian Endeavorers. The executive committee of the Ghristian Endeavor Union held the last meeting 08 the season at the Assembly Presbyterian Church last evening. s é The usual devotional exercises’ preceded the business meeting. President’ MrAr- thur then canvassed’ the socletfes present to ascertain how many were contributing to missions under the two-cents-a-week plan. This information is desired for the competition, which is now taking place be- tween the various state unions In connec- tion with this scheme of giving to missions. Mr. Robison of the committee on invita- tions for 96 spoke of the work of his com- mittee and gave some suggestions as to how this work might be aided by members of the executive committee. On motion of Mr, Shand, the retiring and incoming officers of the union, together with Mr. W. H. H. Smith, were’ constituted a committee to entertain the delegation of New York city Endeavorers on their re- turn from the Cleveland convention. The Visitors will spend the day, July 17, In this city. A report from the union treasurer, Mr. ©. W. Chappel, showed the finances to be in a satisfactory condition. On motion of Mr. W. B. Robison, a vote of thanks was tendered the retiring officers for the zeal and devotion in the carrying 6n of the unton’s work during the past year. Mr. Conner of the transportation commit- tee gave the meeting some suggestions in regard to the arrangements for the Cleve- land convention. ——__ On a Dividend-Paying Basi The Merganthaler Linotype Company has issued notice that it will pay its stock- holders a dividend of 1 1-2 per cent on the 1st of August. The company began its career in Washington several years ago, and as its general manager, P. T. Dodge, is a Washingtonian, it ts regarded in the light of a local organization. It is stated that it has paid every dollar of its indebtedness, and besides has accumulated over $2,00U,- vv worth of property. Mr. e has a great many friends in Washington who will rejoice at the success he has achieved. Nearly 200 enthusiastic Epworth Leaguers started for Bay Ridge on the 9:15 Baltimore end Ohio train this morning.

BANISHED BY BROWNE. The California Conting: Out of the Commonweal Camp. The California industrials who reached Georgetown by way of the canal early Sunday morning and tramped out to the camp of Coxey’s commonweal lands later in the day were turned out of | the camp yesterday afternoon, and com- pelled to take up their quarters with the Galvinites near Bladensburg. While Carl Browne said that the new-comers were not sufficiently endued with the real spirit of the commonweal to become members of that body, it is known that the condition of the Coxey commissary is the real cause of the rejection of the half-starved Cali- fornians. There is considerable bad feeling petween the Frye contingent and the Coxey People over this affair, but the majority of the Coxeyites feel sorry for their banished brethren, and upon the return of Coxey himself it ig thought that he may be pre- vailed upon to rescind Browne's order. No contributions are being received from the public at either the Coxey or the Galvin camp, and the condition of the men in each place is becoming worse and worse each Gay. The scant supply of provisions that |is doled out to the Coxeyites are paid for | by Mr. Coxey himself, but Frye’s and Gal- | vin’s men have no money whatever, and a completé disintegration of the crowd may be expected at any moment. ENTHUSIASTIC DEMOCRATS. Interstate Associntion Enjoys Itself at Marshall Hall. The excursion of the Interstate Demo- €ratic Association to Marshall Hall yester- day was @ great success, about 1,500 peo- ple making the trip. Very many of the prominent men of the party in both houses of Congress were among those who attend- ed, and who participated in the speech- making which was a feature of the excur- ston, Upon the arrival of the party at Marshall Hall possession was taken of a large platform erected in a delightful part of the grounds, by President R. F. Gray of the association, who invited the following well-known democrats to the platform: Senator McLaurin of Mississipp!, Congress- men Benton McMillin of Tennessee, Will- fam D. Bynum and George W. Cooper, In- diana; William H. Denson of Alabama and Benjamin A. Enloe of Tennessee, Charles Mansur, second controller of the treasury; Judge Samuel Blackwell, third auditor of the treasury; W. J. Houghtaling, reading clerk of the House; W. B. McDaniel, sec- retary of the association; W. C. Van Matre | of the government printing office, John A. Haywood and Buford A. Lynch. The evening was then spent in the de- livery of addresses advocating the prin- eiples of the democratic party, and in the adoption of resolutions pledging the sup- port by those present of those principles. The speeches were spirited and interesting, and were enthusiastically received. The ex- Saeco returned to the city about mid- night. — A Plen for Mercy. To the Editor of The Evening Star: How many people, while trying to keep cool during the past few days of intense heat, have thought of poor dumb animals tried to alleviate their sufferings in any way? If the presidents of the various street car lines in this city were merciful then we should not see the painful spectacle of horses with extended neck, open mouths, their sides covered with sweat, driven up grade at a sharp trot, with the thermometer registering 06 degrees. This is particularly the case with the Met- ropolitan line that runs through George- town. At the corner, near the writer's resi- dence, three horses stumbled and fell one morning lately in trying to start. If the cable cars refuse to stop except at street crossings how much more humane it would be to apply this rule to cars run by horses. It is idle to lay the blame on careless pas- sengers, since If the rule was enforced they would be obliged to submit to it. It ts even reported that orders have been issued for increased speed on the Metropoll- tan line, notwithstanding the hot weather. The Scriptures have it that “A merciful man is merciful to his beast,” and state “To the merciful mercy shall be shown.” Gro- gers and others might profit by this law and always have a dish of water in coops where fowls are confined, as they are particularly fond of water sad suffer greatly for the want of it. Lo OF ANIMALS. | Mr. Gesiger Acquitted. Some time ago the police of the fourth precinct raided the house of August V. Gesiger, on D street southwest, when some friends were visiting him, and preferred a charge of keeping a disorderly iouse against him. His collateral was forfeited at the time, but Mr. Gesiger, who is a clerk in one of the departments, had the forfeit- ure set aside, und yesterday afternoon in Judge Miller's court a jury heard the evi- dence.

The conductor, a voung man, felt a little nervous over the conduct of the colored pessenger, but he thoaght best to call a police officer, and let the lat- ter take the chances with the negro and his toy pistol, which looked like one of the more deadly kind. Finally a policeman was seen on the Street, and he took the negro to ee atation, relieving him of the toy pisti When George reached the Police Court this morning he had a general complaint to make against the officers in the second police precinct. “They refused to summon my witnesses,” said the prisoner; ‘and one of the officers sald he not paid to run all over town and find witnesses for prisoners.” “And,” he added, “I was in the cell ali night, and ft was not until this morning that I was able to get a drink of water.” “I have nothing to do with your com- plaint about the water,” said Judge Kim- ball, “but if the officers refuse to summon witnesses I would like to know it. What officer refused to summon witnesses for you?" “I don’t know his name,” the prisoner said, “I ain't acquainted with the police.’ Judge Kimball told the prisoner that he had better be careful about the manner in which he handled toy pistols. “If you drew the pistol on the conductor and used threatening language, as he charges, and he had killed you, he would have been jus- tified, and no jury would have held him for the killing.” i. George gave the names of his witnesses, and Judge Kimball continued the case until tomorrow, in order to get them in court. —.—__ A SLIGHT BLAZE, 2 But It Cnused Some Excitement Among the Macalester’s Passengers. Some excitement was caused on the steamer Charles Macalester yesterday afternoon by the discovery of a slight fire on the fantail. There was no cause tor alarm, but quite a number of the pas- sengers took fright, but were quieted by the officers. The Macalestet was bound down on her afternoon trip with about 400 excursionists, most of whom were on the foreward decks. While on the course from Jones’ light to Rozier’s Bluff the attention of Pilot Turner and Capt. Ross, who were | in the pilot house, was attracted to smoke on the fantail, which was issuing from small pile of campstools. The deck hands were called and the fire extinguished with water thrown from buckets, almost before the hose was brought into play, which was done with commendable promptitude. The boat being just off Notley Hall, she was run alongside of the pier for the purpose of calming the passengers. It is stated by the officers of the company that only four peo- ple left the steamer. The trip to Marshall Hall was resumed and everything moved smoothly. The damage to the campstools will not amount to $5. The fire was not in a vital part of the ship, the fantail being the highest after deck, and the fire was therefore above and to the leeward of the craft. ——~_. Vagrancy and Suspicton. Colbert Roden, a colored man, who has heretofore enjoyed a gvod reputation, was tried in the Police Court this morning on a charge of vagrancy and suspicion. For a number of years he has been employed in the bureau of engraving and printing, but last evening, so Policeman Kersten charg- ed, he was found in Lafayette Park acting indecently. He denied the charge. Judge Kimball held him guilty, and sentenced him to give real estate security in the sum of $50 or go down for thirty days. —e—CoOCOC_————————————>> Beecham’s Pills are for biliousness, bilious head- 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 ali of them.
