Green, the superintending engineer of the mew library building, as architect of the building. A correspondent of The Star, calling attention to this statement, refers to the fact that it was judicially determines by decision 16432 of the Court of Claims that Messrs. Smithmeyer & Pelz were the architec their designs for the building having been selected trom twenty-eight submitted, ard they having subsequently spent many years in perfecting them ani meeting all requirements of congressional coramittees. To reduce the cost of the building, the correspondent says, certain parts were omitted and the plans neces- sarily somewhat modified, but these modi- fications were made by Mr. Pelz. —_—__—. Doctors and Lawyers Witnesses. The divorce suit of Fulton R. Gordon against L. Geneva Gordon came up before Judge Cole yesterday afternoon, counsel for Mrs. Gordon, who has filed a cross-bill, re- porting to the court that Lawyer Wm. A. Ccok and Dr. Wm. M. Sprague had refused to answer certain questions in the hearing before the examiner until the court had Passed upon the matter. Mrs. Gordon charging her husband with adultery with a certain young woman, a guest at his hotel, sought to substantiate the charges by prov- ing that her husband had consulted both Witnesses im reference to the matter. Judge Cole decided that Lawyer Cook was necessarily the pest judge as to whether Gordon's communications were privileged, and as to the physician's part in the matter suggested to counsel for Mrs. Gordon that the doctor should not be pressed for an answer unless such a course became abso- lutely necessary. ——— %5 Cents Bay Ridge and 75 Cents Retur Redcction of rate m $1.00 to cents @uring balance of season.

BUSINESS PLACES TO BE DECORATED The Accommodations Provided in the Camp for the Visitors. THE MILITARY ESCORT The citizens’ executive committee on the Pythian encampment met yesterday after- noon at headquarters. It was a full meet- ing. The necessity for economy was urgent- ly talked of. All the necessary funds will be raised, but only those which are abso- lutely necessary can be raised» The follow- ing were present: Chapin Brown, George E. Emmons, Archibald Greenlees, Frank B. Noyes, A. F. Medford, Notley Anderson, Richard Goodhart, C. G. Conn, Duncan 8. ‘Walker, Samuel Ross, G. W. Helsley, J. H. Mitchell, F. W. Helbig, J. C. Yost, W. T. Mockbee, John R. Carmody, Lawrence Gardner, John Joy Edson. Under the call of committees the first was that of finance, under the chairmanship of Frank B. Noyes, who reported that they were collecting the money subscribed as rapidly as possible. They have turned over to the treasurer $5,791, and have disbursed thus far $359.00. Many collectors were out at work, but it was difficult to get in the cash, as the subscribers wanted the use of their money as long as possible. He recom- mended that the estimates be cut down to the bone, because he felt confident that several of the subscriptions which were on the list and on which they have been cal- culating were not good. Maj. Carmody said that a retrenchment might be made in the matter of teats, tut Chairman Brown stated that this was hardly prac- ticable. Mr. Noyes stated that $6,000 was still out, and that all The Star collectors and others have been employed trying to bring it in. Both he and Mr. Emmons had made personal calls upon subscribers. Under the call of transportation Chair- man George W. Heisley reported progress. Chairman Richard Goodhart of the sub- committee on the reception of the Supreme Lodge reported that all arrangements were complete, and invitations had been sent out. The $200 which would be needed for the rental of Convention Hall would have to be paid in advance. Business Men to Decorate. Chairman Domer of the subcotamittee on decorations reported that his committee had addressed communications to mer- chants, and the responses had been very gratifying. Nearly all had promised to decorate their places of business, and such as had not promised to do so would be call- ed upon personally by the committee. Al- ready bunting was beginning to bloom along the streets. Chairman Mitchell of the public comfort committee desired the balance of the appro- priation made in behalf of his committee. He also sugg2st-d that the executive com- mittee grant him the authority to raise $100 in an independent way, but Maj. Carmody opposed this on the ground that it was a bad precedent. Mr. Noyes here called at- tention to the collection by Pythians for the benefit of their Icdges, of the subscrip- tions which had been recorded on the list turned over from the Pythian executive committee to the citizens’ executive com- mittee. Mr. Gcodhart explained the situa- tion satisfactorily and Mr. Medford told of the difficulties encountered by the lodges in raising the $0,000 necessary to pay the prizes. A long discussion took place, joined in_by, everybody present. Mr. Heisley stated that at a recent meet- ing of the Pythian executive committee they nad voted to turn over every dollar to the citizens’ executive committee. which had been subscribed to them, ond it had been so turned over. Mr. Mitchell stated that so far as Equal Lodge was concerned, it would raise its share of the prize money. Work on the Camp Ground. Chairman Gardner of the subcommittee cn camp and camp grounds reported that the number of knights registered to arrive was 5,278, and the number of accommoda- tions provided for knights was 7,000. Sur- veyors were on the ground, and the tents | had atrived, and the work of putting them up would be begun tomorrow. Most of the contracts hifd been let, but a few still re- mained to be awarded. The committee would not exceed the estimate, and a cut might probably be made. It was impossi- ble to get a caterer to furnish meals so long as the committee on privileges had authority to sell lunch privileges. A motion was made and carried that the committee on privileges be relieved from granting priv- ileges for lunch stands. Chairman Medford of the committee cn information reported that his committe: would probably get along with the appropriation of $0, and with this could erect two booths, and, per- haps, open three or four other places where information concerning the city might be dispensed. Chairman John B. Wight of the committee on hall for the Supreme Lodge being absent frcm the meeting, it was voted to turn this wkole matte: over to a special committee on finance. Col. Staples wanted to know why, if they had been so strictly economical, they had rented the Builders’ Exchange Hall for the reception of the Supreme Lodge, when he had offered the use of Willard Hall gratis. Mr. Richard Goodhart explained that Build- ers’ Exchange had been selected by the supreme keeper of record and of seal, and that the executive committee had indorsed bis selection. Col. Staples volunteered the individual chairs necessary for the repre- sentatives to the Supreme Lodge. Reports From Various Committees. Chairman Archibald Greenlees of the en- tertainment committee reported that the chances of securing the presence of a war vessel at Washington during the encamp- ment were very slim. They had called to see the President in the matter of reviewing the parade, but he had left the city, and Secretary Thurber promised to bring the matter to his attention. Chairman Helbig of the subeommittee on music reported that everything was all right; so also did Chair- man Mockbee of the subcommittee on horses and carriages. Chairman Johnson of the subcommittee on public order pre- sented his report through Secretary Em- mons. It was that nothing further could be done by the committee till the hours for the parade were promulgated. The police department had evinced a spirit of assist- ance. Chairman Yost of the committee on reception of the Uniform Rank indicated that all arrangements were complete. Capt. Domer, chairman of the committee on es- cort, vice Gen. Ordway, resigned, said that the decision of Gen. Ordway not to order out the National Guard as escort would limit the,number of companies in the parade to those possessing company uni- forms. This would reduce the escort to about two battalions of four companies each. Chairman Ross of the subcommittee on privileges reported that they were dispos- ing of privileges as fast as possible. At the instance of Gen. Duncan S, Walker of the iiluminations committee, $280 were appropriated for the illumination of the dome of the Capitol. Chairman C, G. Conn of the committee on stands stated the con- tract for two stands had not been awarded, but would be as soon as the locations were determined. He submitted drawings, and said that the two stands with a seating capacity of 300 each, stands that would please the people, the Pythians and the President, could not be erected for less than $800, and this amount or so much = as would be needed was appropriat- ed. The Reception Invitations. Mr. Goodhart statéd that the invitations were out, and that diagrams of Convention Halli would be placed on exhibition at head- quarters today, so that holders of invita- tions might secure coupons. The invitations read as follows: “Eigh- teenth session, Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias of the world.

The Pythian executive committee met last es and $8,000 in additional sub- scriptions toward the fund for the payment of prizes were reported, This is accounted @ creditable showing. Additional Subscriptions. The finance committee has received the following additional subscriptions since the last published report: Washington Times, $250; Barber & Ross, $25; B. B.

Dunham, president of the Com- mercial Alliance Life Insurance Company of New York, which has sprung into sudden prominence here by its purchase of the stock and real estate of the Washington Benefictal Endowment Association, arrived in Washington this morning, accompanied by Mr. W.S. Trafford of the same company, and immediately proceeded to the Endow- ment building on 10th street. After a short conference with Mr. Lawrence Gardner Mr. Dunham said he would have come to Washington sooner but for pressing bus ness in New York and displayed cool conti- dence in his determination to set at rest the rumors affecting the stability of his company. Before his arrival a circular bearing his signature and the date of Au- gust 13 had been received by the certificate holders of the Washington Beneficial En- dowment Association, and the probabilities are that the subject matter of the circular will be again discussed in his forthcoming statemert. The document recites the finan- cial condition of the Commercial Alliance for the year 18% and declares that the com- pany has been materially improved in every way. Figures are quoted in support of these statements and the promise Is made that every obligaticn will be met faithfully. Mr. Lawrence Gardner said this morning that his statement was not yet ready for publication, and he declined to state defi- nitely when it was likely to be. —— AMUSEMENTS, Academy of Music.—The opening of the Academy of Music last night for the sea- son of "#4-5 was a success in every way. The outside of this popular place of amuse- ment has been made more attractive by a row of electric lights on the corner that extends to the top of the building, while there has been some touching up of the in- terior by the decorators. The audience present last night was large and enthusias- Ue, and the many telling situations in the “White Squadron” were loudly applauded. The play has been seen here before, and it appeals strongly to the patriotic spirit, Which always is promptly responded to by a Washington audience. There have been some changes in the cast since last season, but W. A. Whitecar still heads the list as Victor Staunton, the American naval hero; J. Edwin Leonard is the naval cadet, Harry Marlinspike, and Laura Almosino is Hope Staunton. The new people are J. H. Smiley, the Brazilian colonel; Chas. Mack- lin, the Moorish slave; W. F. Phillips, the kodak fiend; Edith Julian as Therese, and Leura Booth as Onesta. All acquitted themselves well and the piece was hand- scmely mounted. Kernan's Lyceum Theater.—A fairly good entertainment is presented at Kernan’s this week by the London Empire Entertainers. Byron and Blanch present an original com- edy skit entitled “Married Life” as a cur- tain raiser, and do it well. Miss Mona Wynn is a pleasing serio-comic; Eddy Evans is en- tertaining, and Keating and Lord are laugh- able knock-about comedians. Robetta and Dorento do their old Chinese laundry act, and Miss Nellie Maguire made a hit as the London tough. O'Brien and Buckley did a musical turn which was enjoyable. Albini, who styles himself the king of cards, gave an exhibition of his skill, which he claimed exceeded that of Prof. Herrmann, the great prestidigitator. Uthan, the armless wonder, gave a remarkable performance. Fish and Quigg and Madam Yucca completed the en- tertainment. Miss Clara Beckwith contin- ues her swimming exhibition in the summer garden, —_——¥_>——__.. The Vigilant and B: jh Amenities, To the Editor of The Evening Star: The writers in some English papers are “soothing” us just now, according to cus- tom, but their memories are very short. 1. The Vigilant is accused of being with- cut some interior fittings, and therefore lighter than she might be. In the account of the 18% contest between that vessel and the Valkyrie, October 13, Forest and Stream states that the Erglish champion “had been lightened considerably by ‘the removal of interior fittings and ballast.” So, what is British fair-play in 1505 may be Yankee sharp practice ten months afterward. 2. That the Vigilant's center board should stick fast is now incredible, and to be at- tributed only to too many crabs or too little pluck. In the account mentioned above, and for the same date, it is related that the center board of the Vigilant “had jammed, and in trying to raise it the cogs of the winch had been broken.” Of course, such accidents should be avoided, and Fortune hides her accustomed smiles, but if we won every time we would have no chance of hearing the good opinions of our “friends.” McK. —_—— Confining a Witness. Complaint and investigation seems to be the order of the day so far as the police are concerned, end today in Judge Taylor's court Fannie Dent complained of the treat- ment she had received in the second pre- cinct yesterday. Policeman J. N. Barry arrested Annie Grammar and Lucy James on a charge of disorderly conduct. There was a crowd on the street at the time, and he relied upon Fannie Dent to give evidence in the case. In the usual way the police- man telephoned for the patrol wagon, and sent prisoners and witness to the station. Fannie did not enjoy the publicity given her, and when she reached the station, she says, she was locked up for about thirty minutes. a Policeman Barry told the court that he enly sent Fannie to the station to be sum- moned as a witness. There was no proof against the women arrested, and the judge dismissed them upon the showing made by the prosecution. a Jobn Vogt’s W! Yesterday afternoon a paper was filed with the register df wills, signed by the late John L. Vogt, by which he bequeathed all his Masonic estate, real and personal, to his widow, Sophie Vogt. The will proper of the deceased is understood to be in the hands of his executors, Messrs, Gieseke and Graff. It will not be filed until after the return of Mr. Graff from Europe. The estate is supposed to be worth from two to three hundred thousand dollars. | | SESEEOOO50600006000000000 ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure. A cream of tartar baking pow- er.

Gordon Ha@ @ Good Stock of ‘Tears and Bscaped—Some Other: Cases. Lillie Lillie Gordon cried herself clear out of court this morning, and some of her female friends who are unfortunate enough to get in the clutches of the officers in the future will, no doubt, endeavor to profit by her experience. “This young woman,” said Policeman Car- son, “is so bad that even her own color are eentinually complaining about her.” In addition to this, the officer told of Lil- Me's conduct on the street last night, and sald that she is the subject of charity. Lillie denied the charge against her, and then shed so many tears and made so much poise that it was with some difficulty that she made herszif understood. “I works in the laundry,” she stated, “and I slept at the house of a friend be- cause I did rot want to go home so late. In the morning I got up at 5 o'clock, and when I went out I made a mistake and wore off my friend's hat. “But, ‘deed, judge," said she, have ro idea of stealing the hat. “Are you a drinking woman?” the judge asked. “No, sir,” she answered. “I have my little children to care for, and if I drank, 1 couldn't look after them.” Lillie said she had not been arrested more than two or three times in her life, and Judge Taylor released her on her own recognizance, Mary Tinsel, a little colored woman, who bas figured in as many skirt dances in Louse alley as any other woman ot her kind, came next for trial. Using profane language loud enuugh to be heard four squares away was the charge. When arraigned, Mary hesitated before she en- tered a plea, but after fully con- silering the question, she said “guilty.” Then she tried to talk herself free, but what she said had no weight with the court, and she will have to work on the farm, in the laundry, for two weeks. “I didn't Mary Sykes, a colored woman from an- other section of the city, was arraigned for loud talking. She said “guilty” and the two Marys went down together. “Guilty,” was William Bowman's plea to a charge of loud talking. “I have a dollar in my pocket,” he told the judge, and if you let me go for a few days, I'll bring in the other tour.” “Not this time,” said the judge, “unless some one will vouch for you.” There was no one in court who would vouch fcr him and so he went down. Two able-bodied colored men, John Jack- son and Thomas Duffy, were in court in- stead of being at work, and their liking for beer was the cause of their trouble. Jobn admitted that they had “rushed the growler,” as sending a can for beer ts called in drinking and police circlez, but he thoueht he had violated no law. His idea of the law, however, was different from the court’s construction, and the usual fine was imposed. Crap shooting and assault were the charges agairst John: Coates, and he plead guilty in both cese@. Policeman Sullivan Was the officer in the cage. Coates and an- other boy were shooting: crap for marbles, and when Coates was arrested he resisted to the extent of committing an assault. He will now live on the; farm and in jail for two months. “He is known as king’of the crap shoot- ers,” said Policeman .@ostello, when a young negro named Joseph Miller was called on a charge of vagrancy. Joseph is not more than twenty years old, but when arrested near the Baltimore and Potomac depot this morning he was prepared to commit any offense, from crap shooting to murder. In his. vest pocket he had a crap outfit, while in his, coat pockets the officer found an open knife and a stone. “He has been coming about the depot for @ long time,” said the officer, “playing with SNOPPOPOSPIOEOOOEIEPO OPED The Stubbornest Cases Of endeat 3 ; “COOPER'S HAIR SUCCESS.” Dan- 4 draft is simply the peeling off of the cuticle, and 1s caused by the lack of the SO SSOHSOOOCOOOOCE natural oil of the scalp.

It is con- fidently expected by Prof. Cloward, who will conduct the chorus, that over 300 voices will be heard in unison. The mem- ber€ of the Centennial Chorus, the Choral Society and the Moody choir have been in- vited to attend. There is no initiation fee charged, members simply being required to own their books. A large membership is expected. Some of the most difficult num- bers incidental to the rehearsal will be taken up at this evening’s rehearsal, and all the members who can possibly do so are urg- ently requested to attend.
