Seenes Before the Judges—Prisoners of All Sorts in the Varte- gated Line. ‘Three men were seated in a “night-line” carriage about 1 o'clock this morning, and the vehicle was moving along the 7th street road or Brightwood avenue, in the direction of the District line. Some of the men were indulging in profanity, and the noise made by them was calculated to arouse the sound sleepers who were en- titled to protection from men on an all night lark. Policeman Evans and his partner were at the patrol box getting ready to turn in at the time of the occurrence. They lis- tened attentively, and, thinking there.was about to be a fight, they made a start in the direction of the vehicle, and soon dis- covered that strong arink had put the men in bad humor, and they were swearing at each other. “You are all under arrest,” said one of the officers, when the carriage was reached. “Drive to the station,” he ordered the driver. It was all the poor horses wanted to do to drag the vehicle and contents to the sta- tion, and upon arriving at the station the three men exonerated the driver, and he was not locked up. His name was taken and he was summoned to appear as a wit- ness. John J. Burke, John Burke and William Lapay were the names given by the young men, and they were locked up. Wi they appeared in the lead in Judge Taylor's procession this morning the officer told his story of the midnight ride, and said that the men were drunk. “I wasn’t drunk,” said one of the young men. “All the police in South Washington know me, and none of them ever saw me take a drink.” . Judge Taylor made no comments. about koe a but fined them $5 or fifteen days each. A colored boy, whose name appeared on the records as John Varbraken, was ar- rested last night for nothing, so he thought. John wanted to go to camp meeting, and he thought anywhere a tent was pitched would satisfy him. He didn’t go to the flying horses, because he could not stand the expense, and so he went to the temper- ance tent. Had he gone in quietly and be- haved himself he would have slept at home last might, but, as he got in trouble, he spent the night on an iron bench in a police station. When the trouble happened John had a large knife in his pocket, and this was more serious than the disorder. Persons who conduct these mectings are entitled to better behavior, and Judge T=y- lor made the penalty twice the usual amount, $10 or thirty days on the farm. The gayly-decorated houses about the city made Jchn Healy feel like celebrating. John is an old citizen, and it was out of the usual order for a few drinks to take him off his feet. But, however, such was the result and he was enjoyirg a nap on the sidewalk when a policeman came along. Then John was carried off and locked up. He will now spend two weeks on the branch unless some friend comes in and pays $5 for him. “Guilty,” was the plea of a colored man named Harry Phoenix, whose indecent conduct at 4th and Pomeroy streets, in the county, caused his arrest. “Was he under the influence of liquor?” the court asked. “No, sir.” “This is strange conduct for a sober man,” Judge Taylor remarked, “and you are fined $10 or thirty days.” Howard Hell, an unfortunate man, who made his bed on the sidewalk, admitted his guilt, and said he wanted to make a statement. ‘What ts it? the judge aske. "ve been sick, your honor,” said the prisoner, “and yesterday I drank some whisky because I thought it would make me feel better.” ‘What's your trou have the asthma. Judge Taylor evidently thought that his dose was not the proper one for the disease and imposed a fine of $ or fifteen days. George Plinkton, a colored boy on whose face a piece of charcoal would not make a mark, was in trcuble because he wanted to be @ storekeeper without having been regu- larly employed by the owner of the store. He got as far as behind the counter, and later he got arrested. This all happened in Georgetown, and the negro, who has been in trouble before, will live jn the land of watermelons on the branch for three months, but he will not get any of the melons. “I got arrested,” said Mary Coffin, an old colored. woman from Cow alley, “and I'll have to explain the case.” A policeman told the judge of the trouble and noise in the alley, and then Mary’s time for making a staterrent was at hand. “We had trouble in de house, dat’s shure,” she said, “and when she said I was er d—d He, I told her she was another.” “Who called you such a name?” “I dunno, jedge, but she says hter-in-law, dat's ail I know. much noise,” remarked the judge; “five dollars.” . Maggie Tolson, coloréd, was held for nine- ty days as a vagrant, and Mosquito Par- ker went down for two weeks because he could not pay a $5 fine. ,She’s my ‘Wm. H. and Alfred L. Fuss, Mary Jane Lotz and Elizabeth Bean have filed a bill in equity against John F.

He does this, of course, because of the large gathering that is ex- pected here in ccnnection with the Pythian encampment, and‘in view of that fact he will present an entertainment of high-class vaudeville perfcrmers. The chief attraction will be Alcide Capitaine, who has been styled “tae perfect woman,” and who is a gymnast of remarkable power. To a face and figure of great beauty she adds grace of movement er.d a strength which has in- duced some to call her the fersale Sandow. Wcod & Shepherd, the well-known team, who have become quite popular here, will aleo be introduced at this performance, as well as Baggesen, the human corkscrew; Ford & Francis, dancers of exceptional merit; Sapphira,Carl Newton and the Colum- bia Quintet Club. The performance will con- clude with the original living pictures, which will introduce some of the most beau- tifully formed women ever seen upon this stage. Convention Hall.—Two concerts are now set for Convention Hall, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of next week, by the United States Marine Band. While Wash- ingtonians have abundant opportunity to hear this band, they are never tired of sing- ing its praises and. are always anxious to hear its concert work. The visiting Pyth- jans will have an opportunity in these con- certs of hearing this celebrated band at its best, and will no doubt crowd even Conven- tion Hall. The band will be assisted by Liberati, the celebrated cornetist, who is, perhaps, the greatest performer on that in- strument now living. New Natiot Theater.—The fall season at the New National Theater will formally open on Monday night, with Mr. Robert Downing, the well-known tragedian, as the attraction. Mr. Downing will present dur- ing the week “Virginius,” ‘The Gladiator,” “Damon and Pythias,” “I " and “Richard the Lion Hearted.” The Battle of Gettysburg.—The panorama of the battle of Gettysburg will be opened for the inspection of visitors tomorrow and will continue on exhibition every day there- after. There have been a good many im- provements made in this panorama, the foreground having been retouched, so that it is now even more realistic than ever. It will be opened daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the building on 15th street, south of Pennsylvania avenue. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The Big Four Specialty Company will be the attraction at the Lyceum next week. This organiza- tion is composed only of high-class vaude- ville artists, especially selected by Manager Kernan for their eminent positions in their respective lines. Each of. the ten big acts 1s composed of comedy and novelty. <A stronger aggregation of stellar stars com- prising one company, would be hard to imegine. Smith, Martin, Haley and Sparks, The Big Four, head the list, followed by the National Trio, Frank Bryan, Nellie For- rester and Gilbert Moulton, authors and originators;Falke and Semons in a comedy- musical act, introducing many unique and original musical instruments; Johnson, Riano and Bentley in their own conception, “The Monkeys and the Farmer;” Masaud and Marba, the acrobatic wonders; Senator Frank Moran, who will deliver a few per- tinent remarks on the tariff and principal topics of the day; the Fonte-Bon! Brothers, Italian duetists; Whitman and Davis, the travesty stars, in their laughable farce, “Blue Jeans;” Miss Kitty Nelson, champion buck and wing dancer; concluding with the Eig Four’s funny afterpiece, entitled, “A Horrible Night.” During the above engage- ment there will be matinees every day. Miss Clara Beckwith, the charming water nymph, will continue her exhibitions in the summer garden. The Passing Show.—On Monday, Septem- ber 3, at Albavgh’s, Carary and Lederer’s production of “The Passing Show” will be- gin a week's engagement. It will come @irectly fzom the New York Casino, where it bas been running for several months in @ most successful way. The play is termed @ “topical extravaganza,” and is a strong admixture of ccmedy, farce, opera and bur- lesque. The presentation here will be made with the same cast end all the magnificent and dazzling costurces, scenery and other accessories. The style and general construc- tion of this entertainment is an innovation in the amusement line, and should prove an excellent vehicle for the delectation of Washington audiences. The company is composed of over 100 people, and inciudes Paul Arthur, Jefferson De Angelis, John E. Henshaw, Charles J. Ross, Seymour Hess, George A. Schiller, William Cameron, Lucy Daly, Jessie Carlisle, Mabel Stephenson, Grace Filkins and Sydney Worth. Butler’s Bijou Theater.—“Darkest Russia” comes to Butler’s New Bijou Theater next Monday night, August 27, for a week's engagement. The play is a most attractive and interesting one, and has met with de- served success on its tour. It is free from all lurid and melodramatic effects and never offends by gruesome or harrowing scenes. Every characteristic of the land is illustrated and clever skill is shown in the handling of the various types of charac- ters. The police, nthilists, peasants and ex- fles are intermingled with pleasing inven- tion, ani the whole is brightened by cheer- ful, mirth-provoking comedy, which ever holds the audience in a happy humor. The groupings, pictures and tableaux are realis- tic and vividly illustrate the Russia of to- day. Reserved seats, 25, 50 d 75 cents. —— Tuesday, Thursday and Satur- y. > BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREW. Over Two Thousand Delegates Ex- “pected at the Coming Convention. Reports so far received indicate that there will be upward of 2,000 delegates to attend the ninth convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, to be held here from October 11 to 14. A meeting of the executive com- mittee on arrangements was held last night at the Ebbitt House, and excellent progress was noted. For the reception committee Mr. W. D. Cabell announced that the badges for the members of the committee, to be worn at the depots, have been or- dered. About a hundred messengers have been selected from among the younger members of ihe various chapters to assist the reception committee. Mr. P. B. Pierce sald that the eastern trunk lines have promised satisfactory rates, and he heped to get the same rates from the western and southern roads. It was voted that Com- missioner Truesdell, who is a member of the order, should be invited to deliver an address of welcome to the delegates. The President will be besought to hold an in- formal reception at the White House. The program of the convention includes a large mass meeting for men on Sunday afternoon, October 14. Chief Justice Fuller will preside, and addresses will be delivered by Bishop Dudley of Kentucky and Bishop Doune of Albany. The subjects chosen by the neral council are “Why We Obey Bishops,” “Why We Read Prayer Books” and “Why We Build Cathedrals.” At last night’s meeting it developed that these top- ics are not regarded with favor, the criti- clsm being that they are not calculated to draw a crowd of men. An effort will be made to induce the general council to change the program, though this is not thought to be probable. The next meeting of the executive committee will be held on Friday night, next week, at the Ebbitt. —_ A Presentation. Last night was a festive one with Arling- ton Mounted Division, No. 9, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. Capt. George J. Bessler of the troop was presented with a costly knight’s jewel by his command. The ceremony was accomplished with knightly eclat and spectacular pomp. The speech of presentation was made by Maj. Gen. James A. Carnahan, commander-in- chief of the Uniform Rank, and a happy re- sponse, couched in choice words, was made by Capt. Bessler. At 7:30 o'clock the divis- fon assembled at Hoffman's garden, and af- ter the usual preliminary skirmishing and headed by a section of the Mount Pleasant drum and bugle corps, marched to the home of Capt. Bessler at 543 7th street southeast. The officers of the division in Repp; sir knight treasurer, G. A. Knees!; sir knight recorder, Benjamin Mundell. Forty men were in rank. The command was royally welcomed by Capt. Bessler, to whom the affair is said to have been a surprise. Gen. Carnahan, with several members of his staff, was on hand. The jewel was brought forth and turned over. After this a banquet was served, songs sung and speeches made. The house was beautifully embellished with potted palms and ferns. Before entering school send for catalogue of Wood's Commercial College, 311 East Capitol street.—Advt THE STAR’S TROPHY. A Beautiful Stand of Colors for the Finest Pythian Regiment. One of the regiments of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, will carry home with it from Washington as handsome a stand of colors as flag makers can make. This is the stand of colors presented by ‘The Evening Star to be awarded on the judgment of competent military officers to the regiment corspicuous for excellence in the parade and review. The conditions of the offer were recently set forth in a gen- eral order issued by Maj. Gen. Carnahan to the Uniform Rank in the following lan- guage: “The following information is given to regimental commanders, The proprietors of The Evening Star, cne of the leading news- papers of Washington, will present, as a trophy and souvenir of the encampment, to the regiment. naking the most creditable showing in numbers aad soliderly appear- ance on the grand paragi¢.and in the field consisting of reguletas Mited States fag ofa es made of silk and handsem@ly mounted, and @ pair of U.
