Quicker Mail Service to Be Secured by Electric Cars—Business Dull —Other Note ‘The McCullough Drami.tic Ass¢ fomynsed of a tiumber of Alexandria's best amatcur talent, has been orgat.ized in this eity for the purpose of giving entertain- ments during the present winter. The mevting was ealled to order by E.R. Boyer, who stated the objects. James P. Lash was elected president and Frederick Kaus secretary and treasurer. E. R. Royer was chosen as stage manager. A committee, corsisting of Messrs, Lash, Kaus and Geo. Heyden, was appointed to prepare the nec- essary constitution and by-laws for the government of the organization. Mr. Boyer ig well known in connection with several dramatic produ tions in this city, having several years ago taken a prominent part in “Ten Nights in a Lar Roum,” and ha/- ing played it so well that his services have been called upon in various amateur pro- ducticns of the same play in many parts of the state. . Knights of Honor. At the annval mecting of Belle Haven Lodge, Knights of Henor, the following of- ficers for the ensuing year were ele-ted: Past dictator, A. H. Thomsen; dictator, H. H. Kelly; vice dictator, George H! Schwab; essistant vice dictator, Chas. N. Howell; chaplain, George W. Francis; guide, Wm. H. McCuen; reporter, R. H. Moore; finan- cial reporter; A.

This lodge now has a large membership in this city and is gradually growing. Quicker Mall Service. The Post Office Department at Wushing- ton has notified Harry Hines, postmaster at New Alexandria, and the postmasters at Arcturens and Mount Vernon that on and after January 1 the mail which has bere- tofore been carried to those points by ines- senger service will be carried by the Wash- ington, Atexandria and Mount Vernon Electric Railway Company at regular hours, so as to give a quicker and betier service. This will be of great benefit to those persons getting and sending their mail at these oflices. Since the opening of the new factories at New Alexandria the mail to and from that point has increased a great deal. Business Dall. The retail merchants in this city com- plain very much of the extremely dull times, particularly as Christmas is so near. ‘They have all laid in large stocks for the Christmas trade in the expectation of a revival of business, but say that there 1s no comparison. between the sales so far thjs month and the same period last year. ‘They hope for a revival of trade and a rush within the next few days, but money Is su scarce that everything looks rather blue. Notes. Owing to the absence of George R. Hill, president of the board of fire wardens, the board did not hoid their regular monthiy meeting on Tuesday night as intended. The meeting will be held on Mr. Hill's re- turn, Dr. W. G. Ashby has gone to Berkeley, Va., to visit his sister. Owing to the numerous rows and dis- turbances which have recentiy occurred at the colored Odd Fellows’ Hall on South Co- lumbus street, the mayor says that if an- other one oc he will refuse to allow any more entertainments to be given. George K. Pickett lost another horse on ‘Tuesday night trom being overdriven by one of his hands. This is the third horse he has iost in the past few weeks. The tug W. H.

Fisher, manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company, is in Richmond on business connected with the company. Mayor Strauss has returned from Baiti- more. ‘The funeral of the late Mrs. Alice B. Mason, who died yesterday, will take place from her late residence on King street to- re anaes ICTURE OF WASHINGTON. Presented = Yest y by Sons of American Revolation to Students, A patriotic air pervaded the ntral High School yesterday afternoon. The front of the large exhibition hall on the upper floor of the building was a mass of color. The two handsome stands of colors used by the regiment of High School Cadets had been pressed Into service, and were tastefully draped at the rear of the platform. The principal's rostrum was also concealed by the folds of a large Ame: and at the right end of the p artistically executed portra Washington, resting on an easel, and also encircled with a flag of the nation. ‘The occzsion was a presentation by the | District of Columbia Society of the Sons of the American Revolution to the Central High School of a d copy of Gil- bert Stuart's port Washingt The naeeoee of the or ation in making the sent is to encour: fe patriotism in the young. When the pupils of the school marched into the hall shortly after 1 o'clock, there were seated on the stage, among others, Assistant Controller Cha Mansur, Gen. W. Greely, ex-District Ccmmissioner Douglass, Prof. W. D. Ci bell, President Davis of the Sons of the American Revolution, John B. Wight, sec- retary of the board of trade; Paul Bowen of tne board of school trustees, Supervising Principals N. T. Gage and C. S. Clark and C. M. Lacey Sites, principal of the Eastern High School. The exercises were opened with the sing- ing of “My Country, "Tis of Thee” by the entire school, and at its conclusion Prin- cipal Lane introduced C. H. Mansur. Mr. Mansur, after a few remarks, formally presented the portrait to Principal Lane, and added the hope that those who looked at it would draw a double lesson from the face of Washington—that of liberty and that of fraternity. Principal Lane made a fitting reply and thanked the society in the name of public education and on behalf of the pupils of the school. The next speaker was Gen. A. W. Greely, and his remarks were to the ef- fect that patriotism stimulates the on- ward march of civilization. Mr. Johu W. Douglass spoke of the great services ren- dered by Washington as a soldier and as a civilian, the “Star Spangled Banner” was sung by the school and the exercises were at an end. Commendable enthusiasm marked the oc- casion, the speakers being frequently in- terrupted by unstinted applause. It is the purpose of the society to make similar pre- sentattons in the near future to other schools throughout the District. sevepaibeseinan ia Judgment Creditors’ Bill. A bill in equity has been filed by Robt. T. Douglass against Jas. H. Smith and others, to enforce a judgment creditor's bill of $265 on part of lot 1, square 122, and sub lots 67 and 68, square 104, eke Injured His Hip. Maj. Joseph P.

Gen. Banks’ Widow. In the Senate yesterday Senator Hoar in- troduced @ bill granting a pension of $100 per month to the widow of the late Gen, N. P. Banks, LATE SPORTING NEWS. Ives Challenges for $10,000. Ives’ runaway front Sthaefer at Chicago Tuesday night brought out assertions from sporting men that there is a job in the match with Schaefer. Tves’ backer, A. J. Levy, thereupon offered to match Ives for $10,000 against any than in the world, bar- ring Schaefer, and concede 1,50) points in 6,0W at the 14inch-balk-line game. Schaefer met defeat again last night. He but 424, while Ives ran out his GW), mi total is 1,800, ‘aguinst 1,043 for ives’ Schaefer. The Ives—06, 14, 1, 1 600. Average, Schaefer—43, 16, 25.

He was a son of State Sen- ator John D. Goodloe. M. A. C. Elects Harris Captain. The Maryland Agricultural College foot ball team went out of business for 1594, after electing George M. Harris captain for 1895 and Sherman Rollins manager. The team was successful. It made a plucky fight against the Columbia Athletic Club and Jost by a small score. Foot Bali Largely a Fad From the New. Yogs Sun. Leaving all minor discussions out of the question, it would really be of interest to find out exactiry how many spectators of the game know anything at all about the playing that is going on before them. ‘The game is Infinitely more difficult than base vall to understand and follow, and the selentifie points, so called, are a sealed hook to the great majority of the specta- tors. If the opinions of a dozen unpreju- diced newspaper writers upon the sport were gathered it is highly probable that they Would decide that not more than per cent of the people who look at a foot ball game have any idea at all of the scien- tifie points of the contest about which they talk so gJibly. There is a pretty well de- fined opinion abroad that foot ball for the past two seasons has partaken in a very large measure of the nature of a fashion- able fad. Revenge for the “Talent.” The talent had sweet revenge at the Al- exander Island track yesterday, but one favorite failing to earn a bracket. The at- tendance was large, as were the flelds, and the racing was excellent, the finish in the fourth being one of the best of the mect- ing, heads only separating the placed horses. J. J. Ryan was ruled off for de- manding 0 from the. owner of Pance de Leon in order to prevent the horse from being bid up. The winners were Gold Dig- ger, 6 to 5; Finnwater, 6 to 5; Ponee de Leon, 4 to 1; Jack Wynne, 2 to 5, and Re- morse, 3 to 5. Cannot Play Foot Ball Now. At a meeting of the faculty of Mt. St. Joseph's College, Baltimore, last night, it was decided that foot ball must be abol- ished by the students*of the college. One reason is the accident that occurred to Mr. Bahen in the Columbia Athletic Club and Georgetown game last Thanksgiving day. Mr, Bahen was a student at St. Joseph's in ‘91. Brenking the 10y-Mile Record. eorge A. Hansen has broken the 100-mile cyclis:8 by riding one hun- | dred and a half miles in five hours and three minutes. This fs twenty-three min- utes less than the best previous record. The regular timekeepers and judges re- quired by L. A. W. rules were present and the course, which was four and a halt miles, was carefully measured. The Eastern League. At yesterday's meeting of the Eastern Base Ball League the Yonkers club was dropped from membership in the league, | having been elected only to fill in the latter part of the season. Applications for franchises were read from Scranton, Rochester, Paterson, Bridgeport, Reading, Fail River and To- rorto, but’no definite action was taken In either case. it is expected a representative from New- ark will be present today to argue in favor of that city being admitted to the league. There is a disposition on the part of the league to purchase the Erie club and allow the club to retire. If this plan is carried through it will make three vacan- cies in the league, the other two being Scranton and Yonkers. The rumor that Springfield will with- draw from the league was denied. On the other hand it is claimed Springfield is de- sirous of remaining in the league. Two Yankee Crews Going Abroad. It is authoritatively announced that ar- rangements are being made to take the boat crew of the University of Pennsylva- nia to England, where they will meet | Cornell and the crack English oarsmen in the Henley regatta. Negotiations to pro- | cure the necessary financial backing are now in progress, and no doubt is entertain- | ed of the project being successfully carried through. Y. M. ©. A. ATHLETES. Interesting Exhibition Gymnasium, The exhibition at the Y. M. C. A. gymna- sium last evening was one of the best ever held there. The opening event was a dumb bell drill, participated in by the class, and was followed by an exhibition on the parallel bars, also by the class. An inter- esting performance was the wrestling of Drs. Jobson and Cockrilla, Jobson receiving the first and third falls and the contest. Harry Greene’s pole vaulting was one of the star features. He cleared 9 feet 2 in. Fred. Doyle showed the audience what he knew of tumbling and Harry Ward did some good work on the wheel. Aiken took the place of Eaton in the wrestling bout between himself and Mc- Chesney and neither one obtained a fall. Joe Horan’s class filled two numbers on the bill, horizontal bars and springboard tumbling, and did themselves and their in- structor credit. Horan himself gave an exhibition that has seldom been equaled in this city and probably, only then by pro- fessionals. A performance not, previously arranged, but much enjoyed, was the wrestling con- An in the test of Willie Sims and Murdock, Sims getting a fall and winning over his larger cpponent. The ¥. M. ©. A.

It is practically settled that John M. Ward, jate captain and manager of the New York Base Ball Club, will be cleeted a di- rector of the club in February, and that Ward will eventually succeed as managing director E. B. Talcott, whose other interests require his attention. A Well-Playgd Foot Ball Game. The Business High School foot ball eleven defeated the Central High School team yes- terday afternoon at National Park by 6 to 4. Another game will be played at the same place next Wednesday. The game yester- day was well played and free from rough- ness. Between the halves a flag “rush” took place among the onlookers, which the attending police officer did not appreciate. ‘To him it looked like a riot, and two luck- less students were taken to the neighbor- jing station, charged with affray. Their comrades gave collateral for them, and they were released. The Harvard Crew Begin Training. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., December 6.—The Harvard crew today began active training under the direction of Coach Watson, after several weeks’ preliminary work on the river. The candidates for the tvarsity are being worked in two crews, and have been frequently changed. There were seventy- five candidates for the freshmen crew sev- en weeks ago, but this number has been reduced to twenty-four. None of the crews will use the rowing tank this year, rowing machines being used lustead. An Interesting Athletic Program.

There will be high-jumping contests,ewrestling, trapeze work, fenciag, broadswords, sparring, lying rings, Kick- ing, pole Vaulung, and, in tact, every class of gymnasium work will be represented. Ampie arrangements will be maue lor ine accommodaucn of members aud their friends who wish to see the exlivition. ais i SOCIETY HUM! PRIZES. Resolutions Against Foot Ball Bratal- ity Were Adopted. The regular monthly meeting of the ex- ecutive couumilice of the Washington Hu- mane Society was held on Mouuay, the bd instant, in their rooms in-the Sua buiiding, Mr. A. S. Pratt, president, in the chair, ‘The following reports, were submitted tor the mouth of November: Crueity to chil- dren, Officer Wilson reported eighteen cases invesugated, aud ali were amicably adjusted. Ten were placed as foliows: ‘Toree im Industrial Home School, 2 in St. Vincent's Orphan Asyium, 21 Washington Hospital for roundiings, 1 in Nauoual Col- cred dome, 1m Newsvoys’ Home and 1 in @ hospital, Officers Rabbitt aud Reiplager reported as to cruelty to anmais: Number of cases invesugated, 787; remedied without prosecution, Tw; prosecuted, 24, convicced, 20; found unfit for work, abandoned to die, lv; Killed by ageuts, 10; nues collected aud coliaterals forteited, $155.0) The Wessurer reported having paid the second of the three notes given in part payment for the new ambulauce. Ars. Totten reported having visited the Philadelphia pound, which that city has given in charge of the Ladies’ Branch of the Peunsyivauia Society for Cruelty to Ammals. It is kept in the best of order, ‘and the mode of killing is quick and en- trely painless. ‘The purcnase of a building for the Fo- ciety in a prominent locaton in the city was discussed and referred to the annual meeting of the society. Mrs. K. B. Tre: cott was elected to fill a vacancy in the committee, and Mrs, Robt. Larence was elected a member of the society. Mrs. Macfarland asked that action be taken with reference to foot ball as it is now played. On motion of Mr. Parker Mann, a resolution was unanimously adopted, which resolved that thé Humane Society con- demns the prevailing methods of playing foot ball as inhuman and brutal; and re- grets that they receive so much encourage- ment by the large attendance of the pub- lic. Mr. Mayo spoke of the continued cruelty practiced in the matter of para- chutes, etc., in Maryland, close on to the District, and the secretary was requested to write again to the authorities in Mary- land asking that they interfere in this matter and put a stop to it. A communic: tion from Mrs. A. L. Barber, one of tl vice presidents of the society, was present- ed, in which she said: “Mr. Barber and I would like to arrange through our Humane Society for the annual distribution of prizes in Washington—first, for the best essays upon ‘Kindness vs. Cruelty to Animals, from pupils in the high schools, the sum o: 0) to be divided in the following manner: First prize, $25; second prize, $15; third prize, $10. ‘Then second, a like sum to be divided among the public schools for es- says on the same subject, as follows: First prize, $20; second prize, $15; third prize, $10, and fourth prize, $5; the third, the sum of $100 to be divided among the drivers of the best cart horses to be exhibited or con- tested for in a public parade. In this last there may be some difficulties to overcome, but that it can be successfully accomplish- ed is proven every year in London.” - This offer was unanimously accepted, and Mrs. Florence Murray, Mrs. H. B. F. Mac- farland and Mrs. Crammond Kennedy were appointed a committee to carry it into cf- fect. If you had tasted Quaker and cream you'd know why Sold only in 2 Ib, Packages. Physical Cultur.

Schlivogt, acting coroner of Aleaandria County, Va., over the remains of William T. Walker, a locomotive fire- man, who was killed in the accident at the Long bridge on Monday. The jury brought in a verdict that the deceased came to his death through the negligence of the Washington Southern railway in running the engine backward, thus pre- venting the engineer from applying sand after finding the air brake would not stop the train and the engine had been reversed. The body of Waiker was laid at rest in the Union cemetery, at Alexandria, last evening. The funeral services took place from the residence of Mrs. F. H. Travers, No. 104 North Fairfax street.

Here is a tip for some one to make a for- tune. Will not that some one invent @ contrivance to apply to the shoo in slimy, muddy weather so one can walk without a quiver racing up and down the back and keeping the heart in a constant agonizing tremble? It does not do to look smart, and confi- dent, and affect a solid substantial gait when the sidewalk is thick with mud, as it was one day last week, and us it will be before many more days. No, you have to step daintily, and when your heel slides a half yard, smile sickly and try to luok as though you didn’t mind. But it is simply horrible just as your best young man is in sight to have any feet cut thé figure eight in che air as high up es your head*ought to be, and to find that when you have re- covered rr equilibrium you've brought up with youreal estate sufficient to make 2 stfong to “want to go home to Soles and feels will wear so emooth, the danger is great, and won't some dear good soul suggest ah appliance to prevent the debilitaung terror of being a pitiabie em- barrassment and discomsort to one’s self? ——-+e+ “Girls Can't Be Angels on $3 a Week.” From the New York Sun, The police today arrested a negro, who was parading the streets with “a large placard on his back bearing this: “Girls Cannot Be Angels on $3 a Week.
