The captains of the bowling teams com- prising the District Amateur Bowling League have adopted an additional 1ule in regard to practice bowling upon foreign cr away-from-home alleys, which is to the effect that no member of the regular teams or any of the substitutes thereof skall, during the league season, practice or bow! any ball upon the alleys of any club in the league other than the alleys of the club to which the members of regu- lar teams or substitutes may belong, ex- cept during the fifteen minutes allowed, under the league rules, the visiting teams for the purpose of practice upon the alleys of the home team on the evening of the match. In the carrying out of this rule each bowler is placed upon his honor, and any violation of the same will be looked upon, as a breach of inter-club’ courtesy. This ‘rule is pre-eminently fair and just, as it places each team on the same footing, and thereby all will have an equal show in learning the peculiarities of the strange alleys. MAY BE NO RACE. Lord Dunraven 1nd the America’s Cap Commitiec Disagree. Lord Dunraven attended a theater at London last night, and upon returning to his home at midnight he found there a cable dispatch from Commodore James D. Smith; chairman of the America’s cup com- mittee, announcing that the committee could agree to no condftions as to holding the cup and declining to agree to eight, instead of ten, months’ notice. A representative of the Associated Press was present, haying brought to Lord Dun- raven a copy of the cable dispatch. Lord Dunraven read the dispatch and then said: ‘Then you may take it from me that there will be no race. Their insistence that the challenger sign a receipt for the cup and the conditions of the 1887 deed place an absolute bar to further negotia- tions, because it would be impossible to assemble the Royal Yacht Squadron in time. If they think It perhaps possible to advance the dates of the races later, they surely could do that now. But I will not decide hastily. I will take a few days for consideration ~and consultation, and will probably reply on Thursday.” The old deed of gift required only six months’ notice. It is the Royal Yacht Squadron that is challenging, not Lord Dunraven personally. For this reason neither Lord Dunraven nor Secretary Grant has any power to act. Zimmerman and Johnson, Arthur A. Zimmerman will be in Phila- delphia today, and John 8S. Johnson's backer is expected to make a plump offer to the chamvion wheelman to race John- son. Johnson declared at the Madison Square Garden races that Zimmerman was afraid to meet him on the track, and his backer is willing to put up from $3,000 to $5,000 on a series of runs at various dis- tances to settle which is the swiftest racer. e No More Fighting at Denver. Chief of Police Armstrong of Denver has decided to allow no more prize fights in Denver. The pugilists who have been giving many so-called boxing exhibitions at Denver this winter will be jailed as ‘vagrants if they do not leave town. Racing to Go on at Roby. Gov. Matthews of Indiana admits that he cannot stop winter racing at Roby, near Chicago. The sentiment of the people near the track and in Lake county, where it is situated, favor the racing. Their la- bor was hired in building it, they sell corn, cats and hay to the track stables and get other revenue from it. A year ago the grand jury visited the track and were feasted by the management. Consequence, no investigation. cinnati Jockey Ci Secretary W. R. Letcher of the Cincinnati Jockey Club anaounced the following four- teen stake events of meeting, 189, which will close on January 1: ‘Two thousand dollars are guaranteed in each of six stakes; $2,500 are guaranteed in each of three stakes; $3,000 in the telegraph stakes; $3,500 in the diamond stakes for two-year-olds, and $5,000 each in the Mb- erty stakes, sweepstakes for three-year- olds, foais of 1892, mile and a quarter, and the Fourth of July handicap, sweepstakes for three-year-olds and upward, mile and @ quarter. Base Ball in Winter. Manager Bancroft has organized @ base ball club at Cincinnati for the winter tour south, Every Favorite W It is not usual to witness the success of every favorite on a race track, but that is what the big crowd at the Alexander Island track witnessed yesterday after- noon, despite the fact, too, that the track was deep in mud. Every race was won easily, and the thirteen bookmakers en- gaged lost heavily. The winners were: Frolicsome Lass, 6 to 6; Fredericks, 5 to 2; Levina, 1 to 3; Ponce de Leon, 3 to 5, and Pirate Chief, even money. Eureka Club Contests. At Thursday night's meeting of the Eu- reka Athletic Club “Buck Kelso” will fight young Sweigert six rounds, and Jack Bo- lan will.meet Eddie Pierca of New York in a 15-round contest. Pierce has met and do- feated Mike Brent, Jerry Barnett, Batty Wildog, Eddie Loeber, Mike Leonard, and fought to a draw with Geo. Slddons and the “Kentucky Rosebud,” and has been beaten by George Siddons only after a fight of forty-three. rounds. Yale Has Made No Charges. R. S. Cable, manager of the Yale eleven, has sent the following ariswer to the recent University of Pennsylvania communication: ‘To George Wharton Pepper, University of Pennsylvania. Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of De- cember 3, I would say that we regret that the charges which have appeared in the newspapers against the University of Penn- sylvania foot ball team have been taken as official from our association. Yale has made no charges whatever, and if any charges should be made by us, they will be announced as official and coming from our association, The Tigers’ New Captain, The Princeton foot ball eleven have se- lected Langdon Lee to succeed Trenchard as captain for the Tigers for the ensuing year. Lee has played for the Princeton team three years, and during that time has come to be regarded as one of the most valuable tackles in foot ball circles, eee eee Additional Railroad Lands Forfelted. The President has issued a proclamation forfeiting to the United States certain lands in the Sioux reservation in South Dakota, alleged to have been earned by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail- way Company, under an agreement be- tween the company and the Sioux Indians, ratified by an act of March 2, 1889. The lands involved amount to about 800 acres. e+ obi Monsignor Satolli_ celebrated _pontificial high mass in the Church of St. Francis Xavier in New Yerk Sunday, It’s True, ~ However’ hard to be eve it extract teeth absolutely A All our patients can that we y his fact.

Many Local Affairs Reported in Brief Paragraphs. — Belle Haven Council, Junior Order Amer- ican Mechanics, held a regular meeting last-night, and several candidates were in- itiated. Columbta Council, No. 32, of the same order, from Washington, paid the lodge a Visit to witness the work of the de- gree team, which has become very profi- cient. Speeches were made by the state councillor of Missourl and the councillors for the District of Columbia ond Virgiiia. A very pleasant evening was spent by those members of the order present, and after the regular work had been accom- plished a bountiful repast was served. A number of the members of Alexandria Counell, No. @, of the same order, were in attendance. This is a new lodge and it is growing rapidly. Right of Way Granted. The President has approved the bill granting the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric Railway Company the right of way through the lower and eastern portion of the Arlington reserva- tion. This act also provides that the tracks of the Mount Vernon Company may be freely used by the Falls Church and Poto- mac Railway Company for the passage of its cars, The right referred to is to be used in connection with the line to Wash- ington. It is sald that work will be com- menced on the liae to Washington in the spring, and pushed rapidly to completion. ‘The line now extends throngh Del Ray to the Driving Parks Notes, Mr. and Mrs. Thomes Henderson of Fauquier county will spend thé winter in this city. Mrs. William B, Smoot is in Baltimore, the guest of her father, Mr. Robinson Cator, Donald McLean has resigned his posi- ticn under the government at the Makone- ville distillery, near this city, and will ac- cept a pesition with the distilling company. K. Kemper, who has been quite unwell for several days past, is able to be out again. The work of repaving Union street was stopped about noon yesterday on account of the bad weather. The United States circuit court for the eastern district of Virginia, Judge Hughes presiding, convened in this city yesterday. The city council holds a regular meeting tonight. Rev. T. H. Rice has returned from Lynchburg, where he has been holding a series of revival meetings. Ex-Mayor E. E. Downham has gone to Cedarville, N. J., to attend the funeral of his mother, who died there on Saturday jast. The new front on St. Mary's Church Is rearly completed. The old front will be torn out this week. ‘The funeral of William Thomas, who died at his home in this city Sunday, took place from his late residence this afternoon. Miss Julia Houck is visiting friends in Hyattsville, Md. Hon. Park Agnew and family have gone to Florida for the winter, ——_— TECHNICAL GROUNDS. Cause the Dismissal of a Civil Rights Case. Fountain Peyton and John A. Moss, col- cred members of the bar, are not on endly terms, aad their unfriendly feel- ing was exhibited in the Police Court to- day in such a way that Lawyer Peyton came near having to pay some of his Christmas money into the coffers of the court. John M. Hale, who keeps a dining room on 7th street northwest near the corner of L street, was on trial, charged with violating what is known as the civil rights act of the legislative assembly Lawyer Moss defended him. Lawyer Pey- ton was the prosecuting witness, and his complaint was that the defendant's em- ployes refused to serve him pork chops and coffee in the dining room where other people are served. He complained that the young lady witness wanted him to sit in the rear of the room near the kitchen, behind a tall screen, and refused to serve him in front of the screen After telling of his visit to the place and the conversation he had with the waiter, witness said: “I concluded that—” “Never mind your conclusions,” sald Lawyer Moss, “just state what happened.” “You shut your mouth,” the witness said to counsel. “Mr, Peyton,” said the court, “you are fined $5 for contempt of court.” “Your honor,” said Lawyer Peyton from the witness stand, “there’s a bitter feel- ing between Mr, Moss and myself and—" “That bitter feeling is not to come out in this court,” interrupted the judge. “You ought to have more respect for the court and yourself than to make use of any such language.” Witness then went on to say that he had been tcld that Lawyer Moss volunteered to defend the case for nothing in order to get a chance to get back at him (Peyton). “That makes no difference,” the judge said. “If Mr. Moss is willing to defend people for nothing that is his business.” “But,” sald Mr. Moss, “I was regularly employed and paid.” “That's so,” added the defendant. Lawyer Peyton then apologized to the court and Mr. Moss, and the fine was re- mitted, ‘The defendant testified that he had rent- ed the place some months ago to his niece, whose husband is now in the hospital. He was in Philadelphia at the time the alleged offense was committed. Mrs. Katie Edwards, the niece, testified next. She said she made no distinction on account of color. On the occasion charged, she said, she expected her regular boarders. She said that colored customers sit at any table in the house, and Lawyer Moss, she sald, had been served in there a num- ber of times, Judge Kimball examined the witness concerning her regular boarders, but she was unable to give their names. She ad- mitted that the screen was put there be- cause it was intended to have colored peo- ple sit behind it. Lawyer Moss then arose to argue his . He contended that the proof was not suflicient to convict his client, anc argued that the case was brought on the line of many others that have been in court before. He told of an incident in a % hotel barber shup some years ago when Frederick Douglass went there to get shaved. When he was refused,” said cocnsel, “he got up like a sensible man and walked cut. Only an hour later the proprietor of the barber shop went to Harvey's to get lcnch, and tecause he was refused he Drought suit.” Juige Kimball spoke of the law and the proof and dismissed the care, for the rea- son that the ownership was not proved. seieaisi borat ‘The Mortality on the New Post Office Buildin, To the Editor of The Evening Star: In yceur criticisms of the work on the city post office you have failed to notice one important point, which is the extra- ordinary mortality that has prevailed, The death of three men—by accident, as aver- red—within a very brief period, should make us look more carefully into the mat- ter. For one, I am unwilling to charge these accidents to the fault of the men, but to the singular negligence of the con- tractors in furnishing due safeguards. In the accident by the breakage of an iron dog the contractors, for economy's sake, used a cheap construction, probably of cast iron instead of steel, with an axle of the same material, and’ for this they should be held responsible. That this must have been the case is evident from the rity of such an occurrence in the con- ‘tion of such buildings elsewhere. In case of the man walking along an ler or beam, why was it necessary should have done so? Are there igh mechanical appliances in com- for the accomplishment of all needs? The man doubtless was not willing to trust his safety to an insecure rope, and therefore did not have his hand on the side rope; a sudden jar occurred and he fell. Now, why was he there at all? It was criminal, therefore, in the contract- ors that he should have been ordered on such perilous duty. ‘The first of the series of accidents may be reasoned upon in the same manrer.- In all of them there seems to be apparent an indifference to the safety of the workmen, but a determined policy of making cr saving as much as possible out of the work by the use of cheap materials. We may therefore expect another casualty before the year 1s out, and another—and another, equal to our grade crossings. 3c. 8. AMUSEMENT: Albaugn’s Grand Gitta House.—It is a matter of some satiggagtion to the auditor at the Hagenbeck formance to note that the tronwork{;#hich incloses’ the capacious stage ts designed and built with unmistakable app! ion of the fact that an emergency may fi{ge. While the cage- ing is not one of the picturesque features | of the show, it is mguestionably one of the most importants), ost an entire depth of the dig stots used, the back~ ground representing’,4 jleafy jungle. The scene, when the aninaly appear, makes an impresston ‘something ‘Ake that of the i lustrations in Aesqj’s) Fables; and the Hagenbeck animals scayn. to possess a de- gree of intelligence which would pretty hearly enable themztd! deliver sagacious’ saws, just as the AWsbp animals did, if they were not ‘too luxartously lazy to give their minds to it. Yet in all'the graceful indolence of thé big felffies, who are in the majority of the collection, there is the im-, pression of power—formidable and irre- sistible—should, at an unlucky moment, any of the big animals decide to rebel against human authority. The collection is so extensive and the repertoire of ac- complishments so. great that there is. a lengthy program, every minute of which is interesting. Mr. Winkler’s Shetland ponies ere first on the list, and following come Mr. Penje's equestrian lioness, Miss Miktosky’s educated birds, Mr. Kerslake’s trained pigs, Mr. Mehrman’s group of seventeen animals, Mr. Philadelphia's lion and elephant, Mr. VWeston’s trained. seals and Mr. Darling’s spectacular performance with lions, ‘The entertainment is unique and embraces about everything of conse- quence that ‘has ever been attempted in the education of brutes. It is a perform- ance that meets with the appreciation of the ladies and children, and with this fact in view, daily matinees are given. The at- tendance last night was large despite the weather. National.—‘Shenandoah,” drama, which has ‘been fought before in this city, was on again last night at the National, and it were almost as if it had never been, so warmly was it received. It is dramatically unchanged, but equinati- cally it has been extended, until in the tremendous climax, which closes the third act, it looks as if a whole regiment of cav alry, exclusive of artillery and infantry, were riding down the stage. This is beyond doubt the most realistic and powerful mili- tary climax now before the public, and the audience adds its wildest applause to the stirring scene. The playing of the actors as 8. rule, was more theatric than was quite necessary. The brightest bit of acting in the four acts is that of Mr. Bruce Me- Rea (Capt. Heartsease), and Miss Jose- phine Hall (Jenny Buckthorn), in their love making in the fourth act; the best single character is. Mr. Herman’s Capt. Thornton, an artistically polished villain; the most pathetic is the death scene of Lieut, Bed- joe (Mr. Hudgins), and the most dignified werk is that cf Mr. Riegal, Mr. Bell and Mr. Wolfe. Miss Odette Tyler's southern girl is-that by nature and art, and is ex- tremely good, barring a slight disposition to do it too well. Miss Robinson is a hand- some Mrs. Havershill, and the others of the cast are equal to the requirements, and the ensemble last night was most satis- factory. Academy of Music.—“Robin Hood” is to be a more frequent visitor than formerly, as the Bostonians have organized another company for the production of this opera and “The Knickerbockers.” Judging from the reception accorded the genial outlaw 1 his merry band at the Academy of ic last night there will be no scarcity a great war iu of welcome for the men.in green wherever they go and however toh they may choose to remain.

Butler's Bijou Theater.—Although the “Power of Gold” fs not new to the patrons of Butler's Bijou, it nevertheless proved a strong drawing card last night, and the prospects of a good business during the week are bright. The play is a melodrama with all of its accompaniments, from the outraged hero and contiding heroine to the villain. The play is well mounted and interpreted by a company of merit. Ered- erick Summerfield essayed the role of the adventurer and did it well, while Grace Lyndon as the false Lady Brandon was na- ture itself. Barry Johnson made an ideal hero, and Hannah Ingham was a sweet and confiding heroine. The comedy of the play was well sustained by Miss- Gertrude Roberts and Carl Scranton, two very clever comedians, Again tonight. Kernan's Lyceum Theater.—The “Night Owls” held high carnival at Kernan’s last night, before a packed house. This com- pany has long enjoyed an enviable reputa- tion in the vartety world and always pre- sents to its patrons the newest and best of attractions. Added to. the long list of spe- cialties, an attractive series of living pic- tures is presented. In the olio, Zamora, the Mexican dare-devil, gave a thrilling performance on the trapeze. Saharet, the Australian dancer and high kicker, -was clever, ‘and Topack and Steele contrib- uted a roarihg sketch, entitle? “Grover and Ben.” Miss Rheme Nelson Was pleas- ing and Odelle and Page proved to be star acrobats. Mullen and Dunn gave ten min- utes of laughable repartee and executed some difficult dancing. Again tonight. George Kennan’s Lecture.-It was hard to realize that the man who held up to scorn the autocracy of Russia last night at Metzerott Hall, was the same George an who not more than ten year ago was as eager and brilliant an apologist for that same system. And yet it is sald that the proselyte makes the most fervent convert. At any rate Mr. Kennan Is thor- oughly in earnest; in fact, his lecture on “Russian Political Exiles” appears more like the words of a zealous missionary than a literary effort designed for an even- ing’s recreation tor a thousand or so of persons and the writer's pecuniary profit. The term nihilist, as applied to the mem- bers of the anti-government party, Mr. Kennan claims, is inaccurate and mislead- ing, as misleading as to class Patrick Ford, O'Donovan Rossa, Charles S. Par- nell and William E. Gladstone as Fenians. It was a term first used by a novelist, ap- plied to a member of the anti-government party, and was caught up by their oppo- nents and given as a term of reproach. It could no more be understood as meaning that the anti-government party believed in “nothing” than that the term “know nothing” applied to un American political party signified absalute ignorance. This Russian party is divided Into the Hberals, who are the most nujnefpus, and who con- tent themselves withs patition and remon- strance, the reyolutionists, who see no hope but in changing! the form of govern- ment and who oppos ce but as a last resort, and the terrgyigés, who see no re- The A orchestra, y ENLIGHTENMENT ‘the more advi “4 an Sguscrvall ‘Sure to-di te ge RT Peedi as incurable with cubieanrt to the. knife, r Breach, is UP Mitty cured swith- out the knife and without = mf ad can Arofwn away RS, Ovarian, Fi- Tumgns, ° and many others, are now removed without so A ‘of cut ting operations.

These last are @ mere handful tively, but their activity puts them in the foreground. By means of a stereopticon Mr. Kennan presented portraits of the leading Rus- sians who have fought for the ameliora- tion of their country’s condition, men and women whose aims are the same, but whose methods vary. Many a ‘touching story was told of the lives of those who had fought for human rights, which are not caly not respected, but not even recog- nized by the czar’s government, and when ths lecturer declared himself a brother who would work while life remained to tell their story to all Americans, the entire gathering broke out into loud cheers. “Dorothy.’ ‘he opera of “Dorothy” will be given by “The Players” of Columbian University, the cast having been carefully selected by the director, Mr. N. DuShane Cloward. It was feared that Messrs. Bond and Friebus would be unable to appear, but it is now hoped that there will be no break in the list. The performance will take place at the New National Theater in- stead of at Albaugh’s, but this change has not created any confusion, as Mrs. Lincoln has kept a record of all tickets sold, to- gether with the name and address of each | purchaser, and the same seats at the Na- tional as had been selected at Albaugh’s will be delivered to the patrons by mes- senger. Ovide Musin Concert.—Arrangements have heen made for special rates to the Ovide Musin concert Thursday to be given to mu- sic pupils who obtain tickets through their teachers. This was done at the suggestion of Mr. Scharf of this city, who is a brother of Edward Scharf, Mr. Musin’s pianist and musical director.’ Mr. Musin will have, therefore, a musical as well as a fashion- able audience for his recital. Seats are now on sale at Metzerott’s. In Mr. Musin’s company are Annie Louise Musin, the well- known soprané; Bessie Bonsall, contralto; Fred, Elliott, tenor, and Edward Scharf, pianist. The’ company is playing now in the south to large and enthusiastic audi- ences Lewis Harvie Finney's Lecture.—The friends of Mr, Finney of the Navy Depart- ment are taking & great interest in his ap- pearance in the National Lyceum course as a lecturer on the subject of “The Glories of the Nile?’ The lecture has been pre- pared with care, and it is finely. illustrated with colored views. In so large a hall as Metzerott’s these should show to great ad- vantage. Mr, Finney has in hand the tha- terial for another lecture, in which he may be heard later in the season. National Lyceum Course.—As announced in Saturday's Star, subscriptions to the National Lyceum course at the rate of $1.80 for ten entertainments will be received until Thursday at the office of the Nation- al Lyceum Bureau in the Metzerott build- ing. The Bureau has made arrangements by which Some of the artists who appear in the course, as well as other renowned musicians, will be heard at private recitals to_be given during the social season, Columbia Phonograph Company.—The Columbia Phonograph Company have in- cluded new features in their phonograph and kinetoscope exhibit wkich make their parlors on the avenue more attractive than ever. The inclemency which prevailed out- side did not prevent a large number of people enjoying this novel application of the continuous performance iiea. Marie — Decea.—Tonight Mme. Marie Decca, who is well known in Washington, comes to Metzerott Hall at the head of her own concert company. Mme. Decca has been frequently heard here, and has a host of friends in this city, who will yndoubted- ly turn out to give her a warm reception. She will be assisted by Mrs. Clara Murray, harpist; Mr, Chas, D'Almaine, violinist, and a ant Weber, pianist. ‘The program will be an attractive one, and Mme. Decca will be heard in several numbers. Sousa’s Band.— Manager Bi Sousa’s Band is in the city. ing to he ely of “You are go- i r,” remarked he, plunging im- mediately into his subject, “the finest band concert ever listened to’ in America, rot excepting these heretofore given by Sousa himself. Mr. Sousa’s concert in this city will be, including matinees, the 600th con- secutive concert given by him without the break of a day. The organization as a whole is an instrument played upon ty all the various moods of its great conduc- , as played by a Paderewski or a Liszt. he band has now fully achieved the end sought by Mr. Sousa and myself in its or- ganization. It is the equal of the Band of the Garde Republicaine of Paris, having the additional advantage of a leader who appreciates fully the tastes and wishes of the people, and who respects thom, In these characteristics of a great leader and @ great musician is the secret of Sousa's unparalleled success, and when you hear Sousa’s Band this time you will agree with me that I state the clear, cold facts, and under rather than overestimate the ac. complishments of its magnetic leader.
