Jack the Giant Killer.—The sale of seats for the juvenile opera, “Jack the Giant Killer,” which will be pResented under the auspices of the ladies of the Loyal Legion at Albaugh’s tomorrow afternoon, has been unprecedentedly large. The opera will be produced under the immediate direction of the composer, Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard, and will eclipse all former attempts at opera by children in this city. There will be about 250 children on the stage, and the costumes and ap- pointments will be unusually rich. The work of drilling this great number of children has been very arduous, and Prof, Howard has been untiring in his efforts to bring them up to their present high degree of perfection. The cast includes Mr. Eugene Davis, as the giant, the only adult part; Henry Talmadge, king; Marie Howe, queen; Clara Moran, youngest prin- cess, and Burton Garrett, Jack. Then there will be princesses, ladies of the court and amazons, princes, heralds and court- Jers, and several dances will be introduced that will add to the attractiveness of the presentation. Mr. Halstead P. Hoover will be the accompanist and’ Mr. Eugene Davis has instructed the children in their stage work. The production will be a social as well as an artistic event, for ladies of the cabinet and those prominent in social cir- cles have secured boxes and choice seats, and the audience will be a brilliant one. Seats may now be obtained at the box office of the opera hou: The children had a rehearsal at the opera house today, and the result showed that the performance is to be an excellent one. The principals have their music and stage business under perfect control, the dances are graceful and the chorus work remarkably effective. Dean Hole.—“Society in England” will be the subject of the dean's lecture on Monday evening next. The indications are that a large audience will be present to welcome this distinguished clergyman. The press In the north and west speak in the highest terms of his eloquence, common sense and admirable humor. His manner is quite out of the common run. He has an original way of his own, full of wit, happy anecdote and humor. To use the phrase of another, his efforts are “excellent, direct, simple and manly.” The sale of seats still con- Unues at Metzerott’s music store. The Kinetoscope.—The Kinetoscope, the remarkable properties of which have been fully explained in these columns, may be seen with all its latest improvements at No. 527 15th street, Corcoran building, which will be open all day and until 11:30 p.m. Some of the realistic features shown are a cock fight, which Is so natural that one can almost see the feathers fly, a skirt dancer in her graceful movements, San- dow, the strong man, in some of his won- derful feats, and a prize fight, which ap- pears so natural that one can almost fancy he hears the thud of the blows. These are but a few of the remarkable things to be seen through the marvelous Kinetoscope. Olga Nethersole.—Miss Olga Nethersole, the young and celebrated English actress, will make her first appearance in this city at Albaugh’s on Monday next, Decomber 8, eppearaing as “Camille.” Her portrayal of that well-kuown character was pro- rounced by the New York press to be a revelation. She does not follow in the beaten lines, tut she gives a distinct and criginal rendition of the part. Miss Neth- ersole is mistress of the art of dressing t perfection, ard her costumes in “Camille” are exquisitely beautiful and yet such as a woman of “Camille's” character in real life would have worn. Miss Nethersole is forturate in her manager, Marcus R. Mayer, and will be supported by an ex- e nt company, including the following well-known artists: Maurice Barrymore, ewart, Edwin Holland, J. H. v ville, J.C. Valentine, Geo. e, Mrs. E. J. Phillips, « Virginia Graves, The repertoire of 1 Saturday Saturday Friday ai sgressor;” The Catacombs of Rome.—At the Church of Our Father last evening an interesting lecture was delivered by John Naylor Hus- sey of Philadelphia, who is a member of the Academy of Sciences of that city. The subject of the lecture wag the “Catacombs which was illustrated by fine The trip made by the of Rome,” steropticon views. dience, with Mr. Hussey as guide, through the vast subterranean excava- tions made by the early Christians of Rome was a fascinating experience. The views, which are said to be the only au- thentie collection extant, as well as the graphic descriptions of the lecturer, con- stitute an evening's entertainment which 1s not only entertaining, but instructive. An account was given of the beautiful art decorations, the interesting inscriptions, as well as of the circumstances which led to the catacombs being used as a place of refuge. Boston Symphony Orchestra.—The second of the series of concerts by the famous Boston Symphony Orchestra will take place next Tuesday night at Metzerott’s Music Hall. The soloist will be the great violinist, Mr, Cesar Thom: who has created such a furore since his arrival in this country. The program will include Brahm’s sym- phony in E minor, the entr’acte from “Ros- amunde,” Bizet's suite L’Arlesienne, Sven- den’s carnival in Paris, and for violin Bruch’s adagio and Paganini’s concerto. . A few seats may be obtained at Metzerott's. A Mandolin Concert.—The Columbian University Mandolin Club presented a pleasing program at its opening concert of the season last night. Among the numbers rendered were “The German Patrol,” “Santa Lucia,” Normandy March, Darkey’s Dream, selection from Robin Hood, and ther familiar works.

The Columbia’s Authority. Secretary ‘Iweedale of the Fidelity Build- ing and Loan Association said this morn- ing that the charge made in Pittsburg on the alleged responsibility of Secretary of State Harrity that the Columbfa Building and Loan Company, which succeeded the Fidelity in business, had not complied with the law in order to do business in that state, was false. He showed the reporter a certificate, signed by W. F. Harrity as sec- retary of state and dated February 24, 1804, permitting the Columbia Association to do business in Pennsylvania. At a meeting of the Bricklayers’ and Masons’ Investment Association, held at McCauley’s Hall on Wednesday evening, ovember 28, the following officers were elected to serve one year: J.

It is said that the czar intends to tntro- duce several important reforms in the ad- ministration of the government, the prin- cipal change being the establishment of parliamentary representation. SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE His Report Deals Largely With Our For- bidden Meats. A Review of Our Agricultural Exports —Gold Suggested as a B: ing Metal. The annual report cf the Secretary of Agriculture is particularly interesting be- cause of its references to current troubles with foreign governments over the im- portation of American products. He reviews the subject of foreign mar- kets and givea figures of our agficultural exports, especially those for Great Britain. That country paid during the year 1893 for American breadstuffs, provisions, cot- ton and tobacco over $24,000,000. Includ- ing about ten million dollars’ worth of mineral oils with agricultural exports, the united kingdom took 54.31 per cent of all exports of breadstuffs, provisions, mineral oils, cotton and tobacco. Of dressed beef Great Britain took from us during the first six months of the year 1804 ten mil- lion dollars’ worth. Australia is our chiet competitor for this trade. Mr. Morton deems it probable that the American far- mer will find more advantage from the shipment of dressed beef than from the exportation of live cattle. Referring to the frequent allegations on the part of European governments that live animals from the United States are found diseased, the Secretary expresses the opinion that these declarations are sometimes based on fear of infection, but at other times made for economic reasons. A Paying A@air. With reference to the weather burea' the Secretary shows that nearly $140,000 have been saved from the appropriations and covered back into the treasury. Ho shows that by heeding the admonitions of the bureau relative to the great tropical storm of September, 1894, vessels valued at over seventeen million dollars were saved. So, in October, when over twelve hundred vessels valued at nineteen mil- lon dollars, were kept in port, owing to the bureau warnings. Moreover, many hu- man lives were preserved. The Secretary concludes that the investment is a paying one and may properly come within the functions of the government. Prime Currency. The report concludes with a statement showing that of the total exports of this country for 1894 farm products aggregated $628,000,000 worth, or 72.58 per cent of the whole. The markets of the world, he says, demand from the American farmer th best quality of breadstuffs and materials. The farmer exchanges his products, tke results of his labors, which have a specific purchasing power, for money having a gen- eral purchasing power. Under the heading “For Prime Pork Give Us Prime Currency” the Secretary ask: “Would the 3600,000,000 worth of farm products from the United States sold last year to foreign nations have been as re- munerative to the American farmer if they had been paid for in silver as they have been, when paid for in gold or its equiva- lent? “When the standard coin of the republic shall be made of metal worth as much af- ter it is melted as it purports to be worth in coin, and the mint values and the com- modity values of all metallic money ap- proximate equality, will not the American farmer and all other citizens become more permanently prosperous? “If the American farmer, laborer and manufacturer are compelled by law to submit to the measurement of the value of the products of their efforts by a silver standard, will not the foreigner in buying those products always use the same meas- ure? With his beef, pork and cereals the American farmer buys money, and why should he not demand as superlative qual- ity In that which he buys as the domestic and foreign purchasers insist upon in that which he sells? If those buyers demand ‘prime’ beef and ‘prime’ pork, why should not the farmer demand ‘prime’ currency, the best measure of value, the most fair and facile mediation of exchange in the most unfluctuating money which the world oi commerce has ever evolved?” +e A Friend to Hawaii. From the Honolulu Advertiser. The Evening Star of Washington, D. C. is one of the most faithful, intelligent and powerful friends in the United States of the Hawalian republic, and of “annexation.’* It is singularly fortunate that it is, because it is published at the capital of the United States, and every day reaches not only every memter of Congress, but the mem- bers of the executive and the different de- partments. Although these public men read many papers, they take The Evening Star or the Post, because it gives them the news of the day, when they reach their homes. Mr. Crosby 8. Noyes, the editor of The Star, has twice visited these tslaads. From his own inspection of the place, its people, its industries and his own close study of our political institutfons, since tho revolution, he formed an independent judi ment of the situation, and the needs of the country. He has accepted, without an; qualification, our view of what the politi- cal future should be. He has also secured correspondence from this country, and the letters appearing in his paper give a clear, able, exhaustive and reliable representa- tion of events which occur here. The visit of Mr. Noyes to (hese islands fully illustrates the claim, which we have made, that our duty lies in informing the leading papers of the United States of our needs. An accidental visit here brings us a strong and able friend. How many more friends would we have, if we undertook to secure them? Meeting of Statisticians. A special meeting of the National Statis- tical Association Tuesday night at Colum- bian Uniwgrsity was well attended. Dr. Jos. Nimmo, vice president of the association, presided. A very able and analytical pa- per was read by Mr. Wm. M. Stewart, chief divisions of manufactures, United States census, on the “Methods of Collect. ing and Compiling Industrial Statistics. His paper created much interest, and was discussed by Mr. Alex. Summers, statisti- cian of the bureau of education; Mr. Rob- inson, statistician of the Agricultural De- partment; Dr. Nimmo, and by Col. Carroll D. Wright, superintendent of the census and commissioner of labor, at considerable length. Commissioner Wright compli- mented Mr. Stewart's work very highly, and then made elaborate reference to the perfections and imperfections of the cen- sus bureau. He earnestly advocated the establishment of a permanent bureau for the preservation of system, correctness and economy to the government. In conclusion, Mr. Stewart was voted the thanks of the ‘association, and a commit- tee appointed to present copies of the ad- dress to the proper committees of Con- gress. A vote of thanks was also passed expressive of appreciation in lstening to the Interesting remarks of Commissioner Wright. Three recent events—the launching of the St. Louis, the report of the commissioner of navigation and the report of the super- intendent of foreign malls—were made the basis of an address of Mr. Chas. 8. Hill, secretary. He took for his text, ‘Tariff, Currency and Shipbuilding,” the three greatest economic problems before Amer!- can statesmen, but the greatest of these, he said, was shipbuilding. He then analyzed the existing condition of each, and argued these points under several headings, with much statistical data to sustain the ground taken. This address opened a lively agitation in dis- cussion, Mr. Robinson, Department of Ag- riculture; Dr. Furbish, director of the bu- reau of ‘American republics, Dr, Nimmo, Commissioner Wright and others taking art. Pir. Furbish was invited to give a paper expressing his views in detail at some fu- ture meeting. The association then ad- journed. Contesting Owens’ Election. When the Kentucky returning board can- vassed the official vote for Congressmen yesterday ex-Chief Justice Holt filed a long protest, as attorney for Judge George Denny, republican, against a certificate of election being issued to W. C. Owens, democrat. in the Ashland district, charg- ing illegality of the certificate, and speci- fying irregularities in certain coumsies. LATE SPORTING NEWS INTERNATIONAL BICYCLING.

BRET CR WAIVED EXAMINATION, Mr. Dingman Relensed on $11,000 Bail at Pittsburg. The officers of the Fidelity Building and Loan Association were called for a pre- liminary hearing yesterday at Pittsburg be- fore Magistrate Doherty. Women consti- tuted the larger proportion of the audience and they had come to testify against the prisoners. = Chas. H. McKee, attorney for President Harrison Dingman and Wm. Henry, an- nounced that his clients would waive a hearing and be bound over for court, as it was intimated in The Star Tuesday would be the case. Messrs. Henry, Thompson, Stevenson and Judge Moulton of Washing- ton were also present, representing Ding- man and Henry. They were surprised to learn that a hearing had been waived and wanted to know on whose authority 4t had been done. The matter was finally settled and the bail fixed at $11,000 at 2:30 p.m. and Mr. Dingman was released. The hearing in the cases of the other officers was held and several witnesses ex- amined. Edward McGovern said he understood he could withdraw all his deposits at the end of two years, and when he found different he stopped paying in. G. W. Wood, an expert accountant, said the books were not kept after any approy- ed_system. The other defendants were held in $5,500 bail each. f cee The Czar’s Brother's Illness.

NTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE Receipts and Expenditures as Reported by the Commissioner. ticed im the District—No Pro- vision for Income Tax. Commissioner Joseph S. Miller has made @ very fvll report to the*Secretary of the Treasury of the operaticns of the internal revenuo service during the last fiscal year. The total collections from all sources were $147,168,449.70, being $2,881,550.30 less than the estimate. The decrease is attributed to the financial depression during the year. The commissioner estimates the total re- ceipta for the current fiscal year at $1’ 000,000, and the total expenses for the coming fiscal year at $4,859,870. No esti- mate is made for the expense of collecting the income tax, nor does the report con- tain any direct reference to that subject. The commissioner renews several recom- mendations made by him last year for needed amendments to the law governing the collection of tax on oleomargarine. He also suggests the propriety of a reduction of the special taxes imposed upon wholesale dealers from $480 to $120, and on retail dealers from $48 to $12 per year. He re- gards the present rate of taxation as ex- orbitant compared with special taxes im- posed upon other occupations, and ex- presses the opinion that the proposed re- duction would not cause any loss of rev- enue. Under the provisions of the act of August 28, 1804, the tax on distilled spirits was in- creased from 90 cents to $1.10 per gallon, and the bonded period was extended from three years to eight years. Although this act did not become a law until August 28, it was evident, at least as early as June, 1894, that the tax on distilled spirits would be increased. This fact, the commissioner says, explains the great increase in the tax-paid withdrawals of distilled spirits during July and August, 1894, the heavy withdrawals made during June, July and August, 1804, and the decrease of such withdrawals during September, 1894. The heavy withdrawals made during June, July and August, 1894, had the effect of over- stocking the market with tax-paid spirits, causing a falling off in the tax-paid with- drawals during October and November, 1894. These known facts, the commissioner says, indicate that, although the rate of tax on distilled spirits was materially increased by the tariff act, there may be no special increase from that source during the pres- ent fiscal year. Food and Drugs. In regard to the adulteration of food and drugs in the District of Columbia, Commia- sioner Miller says: “The act of October 12, 1888, ‘to pre- vent the manufacture or sale of adulter- ated food or drugs in the District of Co- lumbila,’ imposes upon this office the duty of analyzing all samples submitted for de- cision as to their character. No provis- ion has been made, since the first year of its passage, for increasing the force or equipment of this division, in connection with the execution of the law, and hereto- fore no such increase has been necessary, as no effort has been made to enforce it, consequently few samples have been pre- sented. In consequence of a more active supervision of the milk supply in Washing- ton by the local health authorities, how- ever, a number of samples of milk were presented to this office during August and September, 1893, for decisions as to their adulteration under the provisions of this law. As the time required for the analysis of these samples and for the rendering of expert testimony thereon in court threaten- ed to interfere seriously with the regular work of the division, revised regulations’ were issued providing for the analysis of all such samples by the chemist of the health office of the District of Columbia, under the control and supervision of this office. “Reports were accordingly received. from this officer from September, 1893, up to the close of the fiscal year, of the analysis of seventeen samples—fifteen of milk, one ef butter, and one of granulated sugar— all of which were decided to be adulter- ated and so certified to the district at- torney for the District of Columbia, I would suggest, in this connection, that Congress be asked to either provide the facilities necessary for the analysis of all samples jn the laboratory of this office, or to so amend the law as to relieve me en- tirely from any connection with its exe- cution.”* Potato-Grafted on the Tomato. From Meehan's Monthly. When the potato is grafted on the to- mato, which can be done by reason of the close relationship between the two plants, the potato roots continue to produce po- ta‘oes, while the tomato grafted on the potato stalk continues to produce to- matoes. This is considered in some of the agricultural papers as remarkdble, that one plant should produce two different kinds of products; but it is no more re- markable than ail other experiences in grafting. A pear may be grafted on the quince, but the roots are still quince roots, although pears come from the grafted portion. There have been cases known where the graft will influence the stock, but to such a slight degree as not to ma- terially alter its character. If your salary is small—eat Quaker.

After the White House bird was quite as dead as the nail in the wall to which it had been hung, Horace had it picked according to the celebrated dry process. No one scalds a fowl in this region. On the contrary, a skillful work- man plucks it dry, taking off its feathers very quickly and nimbly; hence most Yan- kee fowls are sent to market looking as clean as smelts, with no abrasions of the tender cuticle, no disfiguring marks what- ever. ‘The fact that the President's turkey has @ wild strain is due to an original idea and an innovation on the part cf Mr. Vose. “A few years ago,” said he, “it seemed to me that the Rhode Island stock was deteriorating, and in experimenting I found that the introduction of wild tur- keys from the west benefited the native stock immensely, while the effect of the salt air of the seacoast on the imported birds was almost equally wonderful. Last year I distributed thirteen western toms among the farmers of this county, and thi year more than half as many more. Th result is a turkey of excellent strain, so that a Providence man, who had one last season, ordered another this fall, saying, ‘Let it be like the last one I had, youn; tender, juicy, with a grasshopper flavor. only remedy duced, pleasing to a rup of is the be pegety 2 ceptable to the stomach, prompt fa ‘ its action and truly effects, pre only from the healthy ‘an meek many excelent qualities sepaceates ‘ to and and $1 bottles gists. may not have it on cure it prom wishes to try it. substi :ute. have made it the known. ular remed: syrup of Fe Any reliuble ly for any SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, tou "LE.

A city man visited the family of a rela- tive in the country, where he was not a welcome guest by any manner of means. After the itor had spent one morning at the breakfast table the country uncle said: “Cousin, don’t you think your family will miss you painfully? You ought not to leave them alone so much.” ‘By Jove, that’s so,” exclulmed the city man; “I'll telegraph for them to come right on at once.” Two ways of washing.
