Sweet charity scored another success last night, as it always does in Washington when a demand is made in its behalf upon the philanthropic people who comprise thts community, Artistically, socially, and,more than all, financially, the concert given at the Academy of Music for the benefit of the families of the dead firemen who were killed in the Knox conflagration was an event that will long be remembered and always looked back to with pleasure. The receipts at the box office would have been remark- able for this period of the year had it not been for the commendable object of the en- tertainment and those who had the man- agement of the affair in charge were grat- ified beyond measure at the substantial re- sponse made by the citizens to the appeal for aid, Prof. Fanciulll and every member of his ‘splendid Marine Band appeared to be inspired by the sentiment of the occa- sion, and the soloisis and accompanists who had so cheerfully volunteered their services in behalf of the noble purpose en- tered none the less sympathetically into its spirit. The receipts at the box ctfice reached a representative amount of $839.25, exclusive of the expenses, which were crly $8. Mr. W. W. Rapley donated the use of the Academy, Judd & Detweiler printed the lckets, Byron S. Adams the programs, E. F. Droop & Son loaned the Steinway grand piano, the Washington Coupe Company fur- nished the carriages that conveyed the lady soloists to and from the entertainment and the employes of the Academy of Music at the front of the house, as weil as the Elec- trie Light Company,’ gave thelr services free. The newspapers of Washington did their share in making the affair a success. The Star, Post, Times und News not only gave full’use of their local columns to the news of preparation, but donated the ad- vertising space occupied by the regular an- nouncements. So as the financial part was successful the artistic features of the concert were triumphant, The program had been. ar- ranged with due regard to the tastes of an audience such as the occasion would at- tract, and the large crowd that assembled in the Academy enjoyed the numbers, both instrumental and vocal, to the utmost, as the frequent spontaneous bursts cf applause evidenced. The program began with the rendition of “The Evening Star March,” composed by Prof. Fanciulll, played by the Marine Band, and was followed by the overture to “William Tell,” which was the only number rendered during the evening that approached anything like heaviness in its style of composition. Mr. .Homer Lind, who was to have sung the monologue from Hoffmann’s opera, “Aennecnen von Thara,” was unable to be present, on ac- count ‘of sickness. The regret felt at. Mr. Lind’s absence was but temporary, how- ever, as the Marine Band played an extra number, and then broke into rollicking selections from Chadwick’s new opera, “Tabasco.” The other sétections: by | the Marine Band were “The Night Alarm,” creation, descriptive of the life of a 3; De Witt’s Night,” The Comic amusing “Coxey Army” patrol. Of course there were numerous encores, to which the band responded with its customary generos= ity in familiar and popular tions, The vocal portion of the prhgram” Was rendered in a highly praiseworthy. man- her. Senor Mariano Maina appe two duets, one the well-known ““Prouta. 4 Son,” from Rossini's “bon Pasquale,” with Mrs. John r, while with Miss) Macy Helen Howe he sang the spirited and amusing “Quanto Amoure,” from’ Doniz#t- t's “Eltsire d’Amoure.” Signor Maina a buffo of excellent capabilities, and Mrs. Seager and Miss Howe he found artists no less conscientious and creditable their performance than himself. Mr. in T Williams-Pearman, who possesses a tenor voice of much merit, rendered Pi. colo Mini's “The Toilers’ most acceptably, and a: sured himself of a warm reception when he next favors the Washington public with an appearance. It does not detract in the least degree from the meritorious perform- ances of the other participants in the pro- gram to say that Miss Dorothy Byrle Rogers’ singing was the favorite attraction of the evening. She possesses a soprano voice of rare power and wondefful“'ranve, and sings with all the senUment that js 9s pleasing almost to the ‘Misterers ‘us ner flute-like tones themselves. She -sane the Cavatina “Ernani Involani,” from the opera of “Ernani,” and inspired: the audience to’ applause that was nothing short of enthus!- astic. In response to the encore she sang @ quaint old Scotch ballad, “Then 1 Will Marry My Ain Love,” and the audience still demanding more she gave, with grace- ful. generosity, the dainty song, “I Know a Little Girl, but I Won't Tell Who,” ac- companying herself on the plano. Miss Minnie Bailey, Prof. Wm. Waldecker end Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard were the creditable accompanists of the soloists dur- ing the evening. This afternoon the firemen made returns for the tickets they sold, handing in to The Star office the sum of 3008.75. ‘There was re- ceived in cash at the box office last night $243.75, so that already there has been received in cash $852.50. The returns from the police, which will not be received until tomorrow, will, it 1s believed, swell the sum to over a thousand dollara, — Subscriptions.

Pastorfield was defendant, and appeared and stood trial. He was defended by Law- yer James E. Padgett, who conducted a lengthy examination of Prof. Hird of the health department, who was the chief wit- ness for the prosecution. According to his evidence, the milk in question did not come up to the standard, the analysis showing a subtraction of tne fatty substance and water added. The milk in question, it is alleged, was to have been served in the defendant's dining room on Louisiana avenue. For the defense it was shown that the sample of milk obtained by the inspector was in the condition it was received. Mr. Pastortield explained that the sample was taken from a large can, and there was only a smal! amount of mili left in the can, and counsel explained that in dipping milk from the can most of the fatty substance had been removed, as it would naturally rise to the surface, and the test, he thought, was not a fair one, The ee in his statement showed how he had endeavored to improve the quality of his milk since he was prosecuted some time ago, He changed his dealer, and the latter was present in court to tell’ that he sold Mr. Pastorfield the milk just as he ived tt. ol argued the case, and Judge Taylor sing of the matter said that the ant had made an honest effort to with the law, and took his personal bonds, Frank Miller was defendant in the other case. It was charged that he put ice in the milk served in his dining room on Louisiana avenue, He failed to appear when called, and his collateral, $10, was forfeited. ganitgeia baste A Rich Gold Strike.

But there will be no democratic state convention here for some time. Indeed, the general sentl- ment seems to be that uniess Congress passes a bill reforming the tariff in some way at once, it will be a mere waste of time to hold any more democratic conven- tions of any kind this year. The democrats have yet to make their congressional nom- inations in the first, second, third, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first dis- tricts. The only democratic congressional convention now fixed, however, as to date, is that In the thirteenth, at Cedar Point, Erie county, on September 14. So it will be seen that the democrats are In no hurry to get into the field. There ts a growing tendency toward shorter campaigns in Ohio, however, and this, as well as the apparent hopelessness of the situation to the demo- erats, is causing them to withhold action. The republicans have yet to nominate congressional candidates in the first,second, fifth, thirteenth and twenty-first districts. ‘Ten of those who have been nominated for Congress in this state have served in Con- gress and nine are new men. The republi- cans have nominated in the fourth distric! W. D. Davies of Shelby, a new man; Geo. W. Hulick of Clermont, in the sixth, who is after a second term; Geo. W. Wilson of Madison, in the seventh, a second termer; L, M. Strong of Hardin, in the eighth, for a second term; James H. Southard of Lucas, in the ninth, a new man; Lucien J. Fenton of Adams, in the tenth, a new man; Charles H. Grosvenor of Athens, in the eleventh, who has been elected ‘to Congress four times; D. K. Watson of Franklin, in the twélfth,a new man; Winfield Skerr of Rich- lan the fourteenth, a new man; Henry C. Van Voorhis of Muskingum; in ‘the fif- teenth, who is now serving his first term; Lorenzo Danford of Belmont, in the six- teenth, who served three terms In Congress twenty-five years ago; A. S. McClure of Wayne, In the seventeenth district, a new man; R. W. Taylor of Columbiana, in the eighteenth district, a new man; Stephen W. Northway of Ashtabula, in the nineteenth district, now serving his second term, and Clifton 'B. Beach of Cuyahoga, in the twen- tieth district, a new man. The democratic nominees so far are Ferd. C. Layton of Auglaize county, tn the fourth district, who stands a candidate for elec- tion to his fourth term in Congress; J. S. Snook of Paulding, in the fifth district, a new man; Joseph L. Stephens of War- ren, in the sixth, a new man; Joseph H. Outhwaite of Franklin, in the twelfth, who fs a candidate for election to his sixth term, and J. A. D. Richards of Tusca- rawas, in the seventeenth, who Is now serv- ing his second term. Gov. Me A candidate for the democratic nomina- tion for sectetary of state in opposition to State Senator W. C.

The country ts to be regaled with another edition of the celebrated “horse book’ ts- sued from the Department of Agriculture during the administration of Secretary Rusk. This is one of the most valuable books ever published by the government, and has been so largely sought that the supply has been exhausted for some time. It consists of a number of treatises on dis- eases of the horse by experts in special lines, profusely Mustrated by colored plates that make the voluine quite a desirable “picture book” as well as a work of refer- ence. It Is considered by Congressmen that this book is one of the most valuable gifts that can be made to a constituent, short of an office, and of late the pressure upon Senators and members for this public docu- ment has become so great that the Senate committee on printing, at the last moment the other day, brought forward an amend- ment to the printing reorganization bill to print a new edition of the “horse book” of Of thege 5 are to be for the use of the House and use of the Senate.

Some time jgo*he pointed out that when Congress {s ng in’session there is no chance of a flag flying over the great white building, unless a staff ghould be provided, independent of those that indicate the presence or the absincé of the legislators. So he finally managed to get two flagstaffs erected on the east_and west fronts of the building, immediate} ingine with the dome, and for a time the @olors floated gaily from the Capitol. But alglasp it was discovered that there was no appropriation to buy these flags, and so the custom was shelved, and the staffs were,used only on holidays.

The million-dollar appropriation for the eradication of the Russian thistle has been finally blocked, so far as this session is concerned. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Call hi into the Senate the second confer- ence report cn the agricalturai appropria- ton bill, which recommended that the Sen- ate recede frem the thistle amendment. Contrary to expectations, Mr did not make a fight on t of this report, but allowed ic to be concurred in by the Senate, without a division. There is still on the calendar of the Senate a bill to the same effect, but it is doubtful whether, in the present temper of the House, which threatend a total blockade of the appropriation if this item were re- tained, Mr. Hansbrough will try again to secure legislation. It is understood that he will wait for a possibly more favorable complexion in the next Con s. The measure ts popular in the west, but is op- posed violently by the east and south. The westera mer say that if the government waits long enough before eradicating this evil it will cover enough space to give a two-thirds majority in both branches of Congress for any sum that may be asked. At present it covers seven states along the northern border of the country. ——_+o.+—___—_ FOR LABOR DAY. Arranging the Program for the Big Parade. The observance of Labor day was dis- cussed last night at a meeting of the rep- resentatives of local labor organizations. Thirty-eight labor bodies were represented. Mr. M. J. McCarty was in the chair, and Mr. O. S. Montz acted as secretary, and Theodore Perry assistant secretary. Dele- gates on credentials were admitted from Cigarmakers’ Union, Housepainters’ As- sembly, Stonemasons’ Union, No. 2; Tailors’ Assembly, Pressmen's Union, No. 1, and Tailors’ National Union. Several changes were suggested in the program for the pa- rade, as prepared by the committee ap- pointed to that end, and it was submitted to conference. It was decided by vote to admit none but the AffetGan flag in the parade. It was announced that the District Assembly of the Knights of Labor and the Federation of Labor would,not be in line as organizations, but the district officers would be there. The line of march has not been determined on, but will be a long one. Sections of the Marine Ban@ will head the Plasterers’ Assembly and the Horseshoers’ Union; the Fourth Artillery Band will pre-+ cede the Bricklayers’ Union, and the Knights of Pythias Band will lead the Typographical Union. M. F. Hobbs was elected ma of tht ‘parade. A com- munication was read from the editor of the Labor Advocate offering to distribute 10,000 copies of that paper, which would contain a history of labor legislation in this country, One of the features of the procession will be a steam printing. pi striking off papers. An address to the laboring people will be circulated along the route of march. The Washington carvers were invited to participate. The salesof @ickets for the union pionic was reported as encouraging. es POSTAGE STAMP CHANGES. Alterations Both in the Periodical Regular Serics. Important changes in the denominations of postage stamps are contemplated by the Post Office Department. The principal ones are in the newspaper and periodical series, but the regular series is also to be altered. Of the latter the ones, twos, threes, fours, fives, sixes, eights, tens and fifteens which are now in use will be continued. The pres- ent 30 and 90-cent ordinary stamps prob- ably will be discontinued and S-cent and $1, $2 and $5 stamps will be added to the series, It is intended to reduce the number of denominations of the newspaper and period- ical stamps from 24 to 12 or 13. The dol- lar stamp, now printed for the first time by the bureau of engraving and printing, is the doubtéul one, but :t will probably be finally decidai on favorably to tts continued use. ‘The new denominations of the series either now printed by the bureau for the first time, or io be issued later, are 5, 23, and 50 cents, and $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100. Those to be dropped out of use are 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, Go, 72, 84, 98, 92, and $3, 36, $9, $12, $24, $26, $48, and $00. The tage due stamps have been re-engraved under the present contract, and slightly reduced in size from the former output of the con- tractor. ; All these changes have been practically approved by the officials, subject, however, to modifications if deemed advisable. $+ o+______ In a Ferry Boat Pilot House, From Cassell's Magazine, I shall stop you a moment and ask you to step on the upper deck of a New York ferry boat. You must not expect me to ask you into the pilot house, as, unless*you have a pilot’s license, the law forbids it, and if we should have a collision the court may think that you “rattled” the pilot, and mulct our boat in damages. Now look around and see the every-day life of the lower Hudson. There to the southward you will see an ocean tramp threading bis way along. Astern are a steam lighter and @ tug with a car float in tow, while a cou- ple more tugs are hunting around for jobs, like beagles searching for trail. The giant Campania is backing out of her berth, her monster icks witnessing the industry of her stokers, who are now beginning to shovel coal to again lower the east-bound record. A sound steamer is her = further down, while one of the steam- ts bound for Coney Island is rushing down stream and an excursion tow is head- ing slowly for Glen Island. In between them all, steadily and surely, a dozen ferry boats are carrying their human freight to do the dally work of the great metropolis. All this is crowded into a square mile of water, which itself is moving to or from the sea at two and a half miles an hour. Now, think of the problem set to the ferryman. He must carry, in safety, across this crowded harbor, with its rapid and changing currents, a large portion of the business population of one of the world's great centers of business, It is estimated that the yearly passenger trips between New Jersey and New York number 70,- 00,000; that the total for all New York ferries will. exceed 170,000,400; that the number of boat trips equals 1,990,000, and the number of teams carried - 000,000, All this immense traffic cavried on with remarkable safety, The lamentable accident to a Staten Island ferry boat some twenty years ago aad single collision afford the only cases o death from accident on record among Nort river ferry passengers.

A. Roche of the , branch office of Adams Express, in George- town, which will explain itself, and which has been referred by the Commissioners to the health officer: “On Tuesday, June 14, 1894, Dr. Osborn, an employe of the health depagtment, call- ed on Mrs. Julia Warring, 3054 M street northwest, after her children had recover- ed from an attack of the scarlet fey and ordered her to burn the beddirg which her children had used in their sickness. He ordered her to burn them in her hous@ (which was a very dangerous thing for her to do), which she did. The articles burnt were valued at $15. She made affidavit to the facts in the case, and presented it to the health office, and after several trips there, they made her sign a paper, and gave her $5, and said that was all could get. I know this party perso: » they live in a tenement house next door, and are in very poor circumstances, and I know they have not the money to purchase new articles. As the destruction of the goods was ordered by a representative of one of your departments I cannot see why she should not be re- * imbursed for the fll amount, or the burnt articles replaced.” The Commissioners will investigate the matter, Flour Inapection.
