LIGHTING THE STREETS eS It was expected that Representative Heard, chairman of the House District com- mittee, would be present at the meeting of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Asso- ciation last evening to discuss the steam railroad question, but, owing to other busi- ness of importance, he was not present, and many members were disappointed. Consid- ering the attractions down the city in connection with the Pythian celebration, there was a good attendance. When Presi- dent Frizzell had called the meeting to- gether, Secretary Hinternesch read the min- utes of the last meeting, which were ap- proved. Although Chairman Heard was not pres- ent, some mention was made of railroad matters, but there was no discussion of the question. President Frizzell said that in re- lation to the question of providing watch- men for the crossings, the resolution of the last meeting had been laid before the Com- missioners, but no action has yet been taken thereon. Chairman Walter A. Johnston of the com- mittee on streets, avenues and alleys sub- mitted the report of the committee on street improvements, estimates for which are about to be made by the Commissioners for the year ending June 30, 1896. The report reads: “In reports heretofore submitted by this committee they recom- mended that, inasmuch as there are many streets in the northeastern section of the city that have not been graded, many th: have been graded, but not regulated, and many that have no sidewalks of any kind, leaving many houses without reasonab.« or convenient means of approach, especiilly in the fall and spring, and mild weather in winter, to ask for appropriations for pav- ing any street was inadvisable. In this opinion we most fully concur for the follow- ing, among other reasons: Streets Needing Attentio “Delaware avenue and Ist, 2d and 2d Streets are practically useless and impas- sable north of H street, but these streets, of course, cannot be brought to srade or improved, on account of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks. Several squares on 4th and 5th streets, south of H street, are nearly destitute of improvement, and often impassable. Of the east and west sireets, L street is the most neglected, that portion lying between Ist and 4th streets being about as nature made it, extremety danger- ous, if not totally impassable, for vehicles of any kind. G street has Silewaiks and small trees, but the roadway is dusty in dry and muddy in wet weather. All these streets are within a radius of from one- half to one mile frem the Capitol building. We respectfully recommend that the at- tention of the Commissioners be calied to the condition of the aforesaid streets, and that they be requested to estimaie for their improvement in a substantial manner. “To this proposition we taay be answered tiat a rule exists whereby all streets not some years ago there was a ule, which embraced the avenues, pteremnst od sched- provement of epee = the ae of tule wes ol red until Maryland and Massachusetts avenues north- east were reached in their order, when the then abolished the general schedule, and there avenues were paved and Faid for out of the small appropriations for the northeast. At another time a rule was made that the Capitol building should be taken as a center and the streets improved coextensively radiating therefrom. This rule was not satisfactory and was rescind- ed, with the result that al. streets south of E street are paved as far east as Lincoln Park, while F stre2t and those north of it (excepting H street) are unprovided for; and of the numbered streets 24 and 3d were paved to H street, and then a jump was trade to 9th street in one year and to 10th street in another, leaving the intervening streets with dirt roadways, although very generally built upon with a good class of dwellings. “It is admitted on all hands that the trees of our city are among its chief marks of beauty. This being so, we think that trees should be planted with some regular- ity, so that an evenness of growth would obtain and material value be added to each lot of ground. This end can be reached only by a systematic process, and the plan of radiating from the Capitol was the prop- er one; but this having been abandoned, there are now great barren places through- out this section that can only be remedied in patchwork by the parking commission, which, in our opinion, should be done at once. Disposition of Surplus Funds. “This committee has heretofore recom- mended that the macadam in the roadway of Florida avenue be continued westward frcm 9th to the intersection with M street, so as to afford a short route to the north- ern part of the city, and at the same time relieve H street of much of its traffic. Now that a cable street car line on H street is an assured fact, this recommendation is all the more forcible. “From the best information that your committee has been able to procure, it ap- pears that on July 1, 1894, there was an excess of District receipts over appropria- tions of more than $600,000, of which amount Congress has since appropriated $200,000, to be transferred to the water fund, to be applied on the debt created in the construction of the abandoned tunnel. This action is unprecedented, as under the organic act the water department was to be self-supporting, and has always been made so by water main assessments and water rents. “In view of this fact, we veuture to sug- gest that the best use to which this or any future surplus can be put is to pave our city roadways, and In this respect no part of the city has been so much neglected as Northeast Washington. The latest official report at hand (18%) shows that of all the streets in this section only 35.9 per cent are improved, leaving 64.1 unimproved, while all the other sections show a much larger percentage in their favor. The standing official answer to this complaint is that expenditures are made according to as- sessed valuations and population. This would seem at first blush a proper appor- tionment, but when we come to work it out raathematically we meet irreconcilable con- ditions. For example, the northwest sec- tion covers a larger area than any two other sections combined, and has a larger share of wealth and population. In that section 12.3 per cent of its roadways are unpaved, yet it receives an appropriation twice as large as any other section. Now, if it is entitled to this money on the basis assigned, it will continue to be entitled thereto after this 12.3 per cent shall have been paved, and all its street work com- pleted. The Recomme: ‘tions. We are of opinion, considering all the facts known to us, that a just and more satisfactcry condition would obtain if a rule were adopted whereby a percentage of street milage were taken as a basis for improvement in each section, predicating the estimate upon the mileage of unimproved streets existi.g at the time of adopting such rule. It being a well established fact that improved streets give value to the property abutting on them, and attract population, a liberal expenditure of money upon our streets would enhance values and lead to such increase in population that we would very soon compare favorably in assessment values with the poriions of the city that have always been more for- tunate than we have been. “We therefore recommend: 1. That the Commissioners be requested to estimate for grading and macademizing ai! the unim- proved streets in the northeast, and plant- ing trees thereon, to be paid for out of the general appropriation for the year end- ing June 80, 1896, giving preference ‘here- to in the followi: order: Fourth, from K to M; 4th, from G to H; M, from 24 to Florida avenue; Florida avenue, from M to 9th: Sth, from E to H; 10th, from I to HE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1894=SIXTEEN PAGES.

That the Commissioners be also_re- quested to ask that the surplus of Dis- trict of Celumbia revenues in the United States treasury_on July 1, 1895, to be du- plicated by the United States government's one-half, be appropriated for paving the roadways on the city streets, and that es- timates therefor be based upon a percent- age of mileage of unpaved streets in the five urban divisions of the District.” The re- port was adopted. As to Street Lighting. Chairman Holsten of the committe? on water, lights and sewers offered a resolu- tion requesting the Commissioners to esti- mate for electric lights on H strest north- east in the next annual appropriation bill. In making this motion, Chairman Hoisten said he had no other report to make. In event of the accomplishment of this, Mr. Holsten said the street would be lighted every night, including those when the moon is supposed to do its duty. President Frizzell, in support of this reso- lution, said there seemed to be an arrange- ment whereby each lamp is to consume 3,000 feet of gas. He called attention to the fact that the authorities economized early in the fiscal year, when the light fs most needed, and then late in the year, when the days aze long, an effort is made to consume the amount of gas allowed. Mr. Tucker also made some remarks on the question, and spoke of the recent gas investigation, which, he said, showed that in most large cities no consideration is given the fact of whether or not the moon is supposed to light the city. There were no other reports of import- ance, but Mr. Tucker took occasion to speak of the failure of Congress to pass several bills, among them the railroad Dill, in which the association is so greatly intere: ed. He also referred to the gas and library bills, but said he had the assurance that they would be considered early in the next session. Mr. Holsten thought that there should be a committee on police affairs in the north- east section, and he offered an amendment to the constitution providing for a commit- tee on such affairs. After the transaction of minor routine business the association adjourned. RE Ne AMUSEMENTS, Albaugh’s.—Clever people and amusing novelties combined to make the opening of Albaugh’s last night, for a preliminary season, an auspicious occasion. The bill was a typical variety perfortmance of the best class, and the audience gave frequent manifestations of its approval of the enter- tainment. The program was opened by the Columbia Quartet. Middleton and Newton followed, and then Sapphira demonstrated that the mysteries of juggling are not be- yond the powers of femininity. Five litle negroes made weird music and danced fantastic dances in a way that elicited en- thusiastic response from the audience. Ward and Shepzrd, the musical comedians, received the approval which usually falls to their lot, and Bonnie Thornton sang songs with an unction which was irresistible. She has the faculty of bringing out a point for all it is worth, and she might have sung for the rest of the evening, so far as the wtshes of the audience were concerned. Baggesen, the human corkscrew, Alcide Capitaine, the aerial performer, and others contributed a varied assortment of accomplishments to an entertainment which can scarcely fail of ap- proval. The living pictures, which con- cluded the program, were effective, and the audience testined their satisfaction by loud- ly applauding each representation. New National Theater.—The appearance of Robert Downing at the New National ‘Theater last night afforded the tragedian’s admirers in this city the first opportunity of seeing him that they have had in some time. Mr. Downing is one of the dramatic hopes of the country. Tragic laurels are difficult to win, and there are few who re- main in the race. Mr. Downing is one of the conspicuous competitors for the first place among exponents of the classic drama, and Virginius, as performed by him last night, glowed with a warmth of feeling which indicated that sympathetic relation- ship between artist and audience which is so essential to success in the loftier inter- pretations. His Virginius does not offer the purely intellectual type of passion. Mr. Downing’s powerful build makes the ele- ment of physique an inevitable feature in his performance. But it is a carefully stud- ied and capably performed production, and especially praiseworthy for the careful re- hearsing which unmistakably manifests it- self. Miss Eugenie Blair, in the role of Virginia, shone with a brilliancy which ri- valed that of Mr. Downing himself. Grace, womanliness and delicacy were combined in her representation. The performance of the part of Icilius by Edmond Hayes was com- mendable, and, in fact, there was little to be noted in the production which was not creditable. The fact that Mr. Downing is himself a distinguished Pythian makes his appearance in the city at this particular tume a happy coincidence. “The Gladiator” is the play for tonight. Academy of Music.—Minstrels of the most modern variety were the attraction at the Academy of Music last night. The simple ballad rendered more with the purpose of bringing out its natural sentiment than for the display of artificial cultivation has a charm which is complete, irresistible and universal. New songs were sung, and they were given with a sympathetic warmth which appealed directly to the hearts of the audience. The personnel of the organiza- tion is an exceptionally brilliant one. Billy Emerson, whose sweet voice and graceful dancing are perennial, is with the com- pany. So is Lew Benedict, the comedian. It is a noteworthy and praiseworthy fact that particular attention has been given to the music in the first part. The opening overture went with a briskness and sparkie which put the audience immediately into a state of good humor. The Columbian stage setting which in- troduced the singers and instrumental per- formers gave an opportunity for picturesque costuming and pleasing stage effect which was fully improved. The specialty features of the program were well rendered, and the performance, on the whole, one which should find a liberal patronage. The aud- jence last night was large. Butler’s Bijou Theater.—The regular sea- fon at the Bijou opened last night with Grattan _Donnelly’s strong melo-drama, “Darkest Russia.” This is the first season the play has been presented in popular price houses, and the welcome it received last night amounted to an ovation. Every seat in the house was sold long before the cur- tain rose, and hundreds were turned awa Every detail has been carefully considered and the play is mounted in first-class style. Everything that can be wished fox in a scenic line is presented, and the realistic effects are wonderful. The company is an excellent one, and the members work to- gether in perfect harmony. For the benefit of those who wish to see the parade today Manager Butler has decided to raise the curtain promptly at 1 o'clock. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Kernan’s was stormed last night, and the number turned away could have filled another goud-sized hcevse. Specialty reigned there, and the en- tertainment was replete with new special- ties. Whitman and Davis opened with a burlesque, entitled Blue Jeans, and did it well. Mastaud and Marba contributed a sensational gymnastic act, and Kitty Nelson charmed everyone with her song and dance. Then there were Falke end Scinons, those sterling black face musical artists, Johnson, Riano and Bentley, all of whom were gocd. Frank Moran made a stump speech full of ; 3 ROYAL ?

The program embraces some of the selections performed last night, but there will be other numbers equally as pleasant. The band ‘will be assisted by Sig. Liberati, the greatest living cornetist, and the whole program will be one of the best ever presented in this city. Convention Hall in its new arrangement is now a very attracitve place, the raised seats affording every one an opportunity to both see and hear what is being done on the stage, and every seat should be occupied tonight. a ee A Restraining Order Asked For. John D. Nauck, jr. an infant, by his next friend, John D, Nauck, has filed a bill in equity against Isaac Rosenblot and the Lincoin National Bank, praying for an in- junction and the appointment of a receiver. The bill sets out that on the 16th of last month Rosenblot represened to young Nauck that he was doirg a good business, and that his stock and fixtures were worth $415, and that they had been paid for. By such representations he induced young Nauck to become a partner, the infant-in- law contributing $415. Of that su the young man asserts that Rosenblot deposited in his own name in the defendant bank $300, and to his cwn use, and usel $08.84 of it in paying a debt of his. The young man claims that Rosenblot misrepresented the value of his stock and fixtures, and has re- fused to allow him to participate in the management of the firm's business or han- dle any of its cash, and asserts that Rosen- blot made the misrepresentacion simply to get possessicn of his m To Enforce a Judgment Creditor's Hilt To enforces a judgmert creditor's bill of 3840 against Leonard C, Wood end others, Sarah S.

In the wealth of decorations and the pro- fusion of tasteful designs everywhere. dis- played the appearance of the Palais Royal during the present festal time occupies the vartage of unique distinction. Without and within the vast structure at 11th and G streets consummate taste has been exer- cised in the arrangement of the rich fab- rics that float and flutter and fall in grace- ful festoons in the Pythian colors of blue, red and gold. Beneath every window on the outer walls hang artistically draped draperies in shield-like forms, while strings of tiny red, blue and golden flags stretch from the lofty cornice to the awning below. Each of the immense plate glass windows is draped on the interior with handsome and costly fabrics in the Pythian colors joined together with bunches of silk Ameri- can 5 In the window adjoining the G street entrance stands the graceful figure of a woman clad in the predominant colors, and wearing a gould crown upon her well- poise] and pretty head. In her hand she holds an American flag, whose staff, en- twined with silk of the same hues as her dress, rests upon the floor. On the inierior are streamers of red, blue and gold, grace- fully drcoped at every possible point, while the large rotunda is hung with ,the same effect. Resting upon a raised platforin in the center of the rotunda a unique tab- leau, emblematic of the great order is presented. A large Knights of Pythias shield, topped with two antique spears and a helmet tha: once crowned a Roman war- rior, meets the gaze of every one who en- ters the establishment, and at its side, with a hand resting lovingly upon it, is a beau- tiful wax figure of a golden-haired woman, clad in rich raiment of the now prevailing trinity of tints. In the windows and piled upon the counters inside the store are souvenirs of every possible description, suit- able for the eccasion which the Knighis at the capital ere now enjoying. Aitogeiher the Palais Royal is a most attractive place to visit, and the commercial wisdom shown by Mr, Lisner in providing such a large stock of articles appropriate for the en- campment is evidently being r: by the patrovage of the numerous strangers who throng his establishment.
