Might Also Take a Glance at the Open Gambling in Operation— Other Notes. The Alexandria county court, which con- vened yesterday, adjourned until Monday next. Leigh Wilbur Reid and Miss Elizabeth Griffith Hoxton were quietly married at St. Paul’s Church this morning. Owing to the recent death of Rev. Dr. Charles Min- nigerode, the grandfather of the bride, only the immediate members of the family on each side were present. The ceremony was performed by Right Rev. A. M. Ran- dolph. Later Mr. and Mrs. Reid left for a northern trip. The regular semi-monthly meeting of the city council will be held tonight. Miss Rosalie B. Diffendurffur of Balti- more, who has been the guest of Miss Mai Uhler, returns to her home tomorrow, much to the regret of the many friends she has made during her short sojourn in this city. Enough money has been raised for the completion of the steamer Howard Cas- sard, and her owners say that the work will be commenced at an early date. It is not known as yet whether the work wil! be done in this city or not. The boat is at present moored to the Pioneer Mills’ wharf, in this city, ee she has been for some months pas! Rev. Henry T. Sharp, Reacinety rector of Grace Episcopal Church in this city, but now of Baltimore, and~ Miss Gertrude Stansbury were married at the residence cf the bride’s brother, D. R. Stansbury, in this city, last night before a large number of friends. Miss Southall of Charlottesville is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Thomas L. Waters, in this city. Eustice C. De Putron, who has been in New Mexico for some time past on gov- ernment business, has returned to his home in this city. Ground has been broken on North Royal street for the extension of the gas mains in that section of the city. The condition of Mrs. M. W. O'Rrien, whose serious illness has been mentioned in The Star, is somewhat improved. The Semi-Monthly Dancing Club will give ‘a soiree at the Braddock House tonight. Large numbers of tramps seek lodging at the police station these cold nights, and times as many as twenty-five and thir- ty can be found in its cells. Alexandria Council, Junior Order United American Mechanics, will give an enter- tainment at the Opera House on Thanks- giving night. The drama “Nuggett Nell, or Right Against Wrong,” will be prodaced by_local talent. ‘Owing to the proclamation of Mayor Strauss the Peckham-Ryan prize fight bas been declared off. These men had hoped to pull it off before the Eureka Ath- letic Club in the county, but the arrange- ments could not be made for it. Packham will meet Billy McMillan, whose match in this city with Campbell of Haltimore caused such a stir before the Nonpareil Club of Georgetown on the night of No- vember 6. The good people of Alexandria are much pleased with the decision of the mayor in this matter, and he is highly commended by them for his action. It has been suggested that his honor the mayor take similar steps in the matter of the gambling being almost openly conducted. There has heen some talk of an investiga- tion by the city council into these mat- ters, but as yet nothing has been done in the matter. It is a well known fact to ell Alexandrians, and for that-matter to all Washingtonians, that there are two policy games running in this city all the time. L. W. Brennan, who recently purchased the stock and fixtures of the old Eldorado House, has issued invitations for an open- ing tomorrow night under the name of the New York House. ‘The regular weekly meeting and drill of the Alexandria Light Infantry was held at the armory last night. There were about forty men present and Captain Mushback drilled the company in the man- ual of arms and foot movements for about an hour. After the drill a business mect- ing was held, when final arrangements were made with Nat. R. High, the manager of Belle Boyd, the famous ‘Rebel Spy,” for her appearance at the Opera House in this city tomorrow night for the benefit of the company. Enough tickets have el- ready been sold to guarantee a successful entertainment. Mrs. Carrie H. Shuler was granted a divorce from Edward H. Shuler in the cor- poration court yesterday afternoon. Mra. Shuler was represented by Gardner L. Boothe, a prominent young member of the Alexandria bar. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Smith have re- turned from their wedding trip. George K. Pickett of Fairfax county has lost several fine horses and dows during the past few wecks oe some pevesoren disease that no one is able to explain, i AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN, Many Improvements Looked for on the C. and 0. Can: There are many indications leading up to the belief that the transportation com- pany organized some time ago for the purpose of facilitating, enlarging and im- proving the Chesapeake and Ohio canal trade will begin to operate early next spring. The past season has shown £0 conclusively that the canal when properly managed is a paying affair that the pro- moters of the transportation company have decided to delay now no longer than is absolutely necessary to make and perfect arrangements. Whether electric or mule power will be used is now under considera- tion. Should the transportation company decide to use the electric power, the trustees of the canal, it is understood, are to furnish the wires and appliances, either experimental or permanent. The trans- portation company, however, is not to pos- sess exclusive rights over the canal trade. It is claimed by an officer of the Chesa- peake and Qhig earal that it woubl take dolla three millions of ‘3 to electrically equip the commercial highw: ‘o newly equip with boats and mu ),000) expenditure woul@ be ni This great ‘ifference seems te be no object to the transportation men, as in spite of all figures exhibited by 21d canal men, they believe the improvement will be a paying one. Tke canal under the most favorable conditions can admit of the passage of but 1,000,000 tons of coal a yzar through the locks. Two hundred boats of the pres- ent capacity can accomplish this end readily. The Work Stopped. The excavaticn on the property of the Washington and Georgetown railroad prop- erty, on which it is intended to construct the union depot, has been stopped entirely owing to the legal objections entered by Mrs. Morris and Mrs. BE. D. E. N. South- worth, they claiming that the blasts were injurious to their homes. Whether or not the company can proceed in the old manner with the excavations will probably be determined today. Sudden Death. Mrs. Arabella Warwick of 1512 34th street died suddenly on Sunday afternoon while hanging up a coat. There was a rush of blood to the head, which resulted in the breaking or injuring of a small ves- sel. One cheek became highly red during the timo attending the grasp of death. Mrs. Warwick was the widow of Police- man Warwick. —__.——— BAPTIST MINISTERS, ‘Those of the Colored Churches Hold a Meeting. The Baptist ministers of the colored churches of this city and some sections of Maryland and Virginia held their regular weekly meeting yesterday and passed reso- lutions favoring the appointment ‘of Rev. Henry Clay Robinson, president of the union, and pastor of the First Baptist Church of South Washington, as army chaplain. The following committee was designated to further Mr. Robinson's can- didacy: Rev. W. A. Creditt, pastor of the Berean Baptist Church; Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church; Rev. Robert Johnson, M. D., of the Metropolitan Baptist Church; Rev. R. H. Porter of Alexandria, and Rev. I. V. Bryant of the Walker Memorial Church. LATE SPORTING NEWS —saeae ROUGHNESS OF FOOT BALL. It is Believed That Mére Legislation is Nec@esak¥y, Such a cry was year against the roughness of f says the New York World, that at the request of Yale, Princeton, ‘Harvard #fa Pennsylvania, the University Athletic Cjyb ted Alexan- der Moffat, a celebrated ceton player; Dr. Brooks of: Harvard, rfohn-O. Bell of the University of Penisylvania, Paul Dash- iel of Lehigh and Wditer{Camp of Yale a committee to revise the old rules and give to the colleges a set of new rules. The ob- Ject was to produce a e free from un- necessary roughness gnd brutality. It was charged that the flying interference, the. momentum mass plays andthe wedge plays were the cause of so many injuries to the players. The remedy proposed was to abol- ish these plays and substitute others of a more open nature. The new rules in opening up the game have brought about what some shrewd critics predicted months ago, namely, a greater number of injuries to the play- ers. The most dangerous time to tackle @ man is when both the tackler and the man to be tackled are running at full speed in opposite or nearly opposite directions. This is exactly what has to be done in all open plays. That was how Hinkey was hurt so badly last year. It is how Wright- ington was injured on Saturday. A score of other players have been hurt this sea- son in the same way. The new rules in- crease the open plays, and, of course, the number of injuries have increased in the same proportion. The mass or V wedges were nothing like so violent or so danger- ous as these plays. George Adee, the president of the Uni- versity Athletic Club, one of Yale’s most trusted athletic advisers, said yesterday: “I think the less I say about Saturday's game the better. But if those who attend foot ball games cannot go without suffer- ing from what they see on the field it is time something .was done. I do not at- tribute the roughness of Saturday’s game to the present rules. They were framed to do away with brutal play, but they have not done that. The spirit of the rules has been violated. More legislation will be re- quired this winter. I do not believe the Yale faculty will stop next Saturday's game with Princeton.” Mr. Adee was one cf those who strong!: favored the new rules, and his A peten A that they have failed to eradicate the ob- jectionable features in foot ball is impor- tant. * Foot Ball ‘Stopped by the Police. The police stopped the foot ba!l game between the teams of the Englewood and Hyde Park High Schools at Chicago yes- terday afternoon. The game was in favor of Englewood, 10 to 8, and the youngsters were slugging so viciously that the police put an end to the game. Roughness tn Foot Ball. A number of members of Yale faculty have expressed disgust at the Yale-Har- vard foct ball game of Saturday, owing to the slugging and general roughness in- dulged in by the players, end a rumor has been current that the faculty would forbid the Yale-Princeton contest of next Sat- urday. President Dwight says he knows of no intention to prevent the playing of the game. The men of the college pronounce the revised rules of theyy an utter fail- ure, but those who know the rules declare that the rules are all right, but that they Were not properly enforcéd by the officers of the field. oni DISTRICT BOWLING LEAGUE. —~B+9 Six Games Played by Members Last ‘ Night!

All the other races were taken by second choices, so the bookies did not have as profitable a time of it as the monoto- nous downfall of the favorites would at first indicate. For some unknown reason Wernberg was made a 2 to 5 favorite over Derfargilla, but the latter, against which 2 to 1 could be had at the close of betting, won easily. There was one accident, the first on the track, Pretence having to be destroyed as the result of a fall in the first race. Nacey, who rode, was unhurt. In the match race, Romping Girl, at 6 to 6, won rather easily from Wheeloski, at 7 to 10. The other winners were: Mintver, 8 to 1; Jack Rose, 8 to 1; Assignee, 3 to 1, and Elberon, 8 to 1. Sextus’ Suspicious Race. The racing at the Alexander Island track yesterday was witnessed by a very large erowd, who saw Sextus run half a mile in -47 flat. He won pulled up, and could evi- dently have broken the half mile record, .46. made by Geraldine at Morris Park, in 1889. The performance gave rise to the be- lief that the horse was a ringer, and the purse was withheld until the animal's tden- tity is proven. Two favorites, two second choices and an outsider won, the winners being: Sextus, 12 to 1; Rienzi, 3 to 1; Blue Bird, 8 to 1; Forest, 2 to 1, and Grand Prix, 8 to 5 Sporting Notes. The Baltimore Y.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Whether the President has had the tails of his horses docked or banged, as report- ed, or not, the report is the sufficient war- rant for calling attention again to a sub- ject upon which you animadverted so just- ly and emphatically a few weeks ago. Since then the fast set and the fashionable set- have been coming back to the city in increasing numbers, and their presence is advertised by the greatly increased num- ber of banged id stump-tailed horses, which offend our sight every day. One can hardly pass along any of our principal streets or avenues without meeting painful exhibitions of the extent to which this dis- figurement of the noblest and most useful of our animals has gone. Today an in- stance of it met my view which would have been most ludicrous if it had not been so repulsive to all humane feeling—® pair of horses, or what were horses once, driven tandem to a light cart, whose tails had not only been docked, but shaved in addition, so that there was left, where tails should have been, only a stiff, hairiess stump, per- haps six inches in length, which had the. @ppearance of vitality and of being @ part of the horse about as much as if it had been a wooden peg projecting from the animal. But this and like exhibitions are the fashion with a certain set, and they illus- trate, as the freaks of fashion so often do, the difference between taste and ‘fashion. The one is based upon laws and principles of reason and truth; the other has no basis but whim and idiosyncracy or vanity. Taste can always justify itself to the rea- son; fashion seldom appeals to that tribu- nal. In the present case such an appeal would be met by swift condemnation. The disfigurement of horseflesh, which is now so common, is at the same time a cruel abuse of the horse and a gross violation of taste, as well as an impeachment of the wisdom of the Creator. If this curtailment of our horses is in accord with good taste, then let us go out and chisel off the tails of the bronze horses which now grace our streets and public grounds, and so make them conform to the fashion. Let us go into our art galleries, public and private, and call upon the painter to bring his |. palette and brushes and paint out the of- fensive tails of the horses wherever they appear upon the artist’s canvas. Are we ready for this? The mere suggestion hope- lessly condemns this whole craze and cruel- ty combined. Art and taste are in accord with nature—not in violation of it. Let us make no compromise with this cruel fash- ion. It is against the laws of the District to inflict this cruelty upon animals. Such @ wrong cannot be perpetrated within its limits. If done, it must be done elsewhere, and it is only on this condition that these mutilated »easts can be paraded here be- fore our « es. Would that we had a law that wor 1 forbid their being brought ithin ovr city and which would cause them to be expelled from it on sight. E. ges The Di __-aceful Condition of Bright- wood Avenue, To the Kaltor of The Evening Star: May we, the residents and tax-payers of Brikhtwood and Takoma, reach the District Commissioners through your paper, and possibly the superintendent of roads, if we have one, through them, as to the ter- rible cordition of Brightwood avenue? This is, I think, the most !mportant road- way leading to Washington, and It is not only shamefully neglected, but is allowed to remain in a dangerous condition while some other roads of far less importance are being graded, paved and kept in first- class repair. I think we are entitled to know why the ugly holes that can be found all along the line of this road cannot be filled with sult- able material. The Brightwood Railway Company sing an important part of this highway, and it ought to be required to so repair the same about its tracks so that the driving public can cross and _re- cross them without actual danger. This roadway ts also very unsafe at night with the rapidly passing cars and Insufficient light. If the railroad company cannot light up this highway properly as it ought to do, then the District authorities should do sovat once before we have some serious accident. It is true that we have a few gas lamps, but not a sufficient number, now that we have the railroad and conse- quently reduced width of roadway, and these lamps do not extend as far as the gas main has been laid.

This cree at 7:30 the citizens of Co- lumbia Heights and Mount Pleasant, to- gether with all others interested, will hold @ meeting at Mission Hall, Florida avenue and 14th street northwest, for the purpose of entering a protest against the location of the proposed contagious hospital in that locality. Last evening there a meet- ing at the residence of Mr. C. G. Schnetder, 11th street and Florida avenue, of repre- sentatives from the Mount Pleasant, Co- lumbla Heights and Brightwood Citizens’ Associations, held for the purpose of map- ping out the proceedings to be taken at. the meeting this evening. President J. W. Somerville of the Mount Pleasant Associa- tion presided, and among those jresent were T, M. Exicy, T. 8. Rogers, William 4. Gatley, Claude F. King of Brightwood, G. B. Towles, George Simmons, E. G. Jef- fries, C. G.'Snvder, G. M. Husted and Ceptain O' Ferrall. Tno matter wi fully discussed, and it was agreed that a resolution express- ing tle views of the people of the section should be submitted at this evening’s meet- ing for discussion and adoption. It was also urged that if the District Commis- sioners declined to reconsider their de- termination the citizens should invoke the power of the courts to prevent the erection of the hospital in the locality. At a meeting of the vestrymen of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Mount Pleas- ant, held Sunday afternoon, resolutions strongly protesting agalust the erection of the hospi in the locality proposed were unanimously adopted, and directed to be laid before the District Commissioners. —————_ Tobacco Chewers in Street Cars. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: I am much pleased to see the frequent comments in your paper upon the filthy habit of expectorating tobacco juice. As I was standing with my daughter one day on 14th street waiting for a cable car,which we wished to enter, to come to a full stop, @ man in the grip car relieved himself of 4@ mouthful of the filthy liquid, which was carried by the wind across the fronts of our skirts. Fortunately they were of wool- en material, so the disagreeable incident caused only the loss of a fine handkerchief —the only means at hand for removing the disgusting deposit.
