Today he calls the attention of the Commissioners to the necessity for better protection from fires to the frame buildings belonging to the hospital.

In old man Schweitzer’s cobbler shop last night there was a lamp trimmed and burn- ing and the old man was using his ham- mer and awl for the first time in several days. Schweitzer is a hard working man, but he would go across the river and play policy. When he went over there he al- ways closed his shop and would open up upon his return. Policeman Bradley, who had seen him go over the bridge so many times, arrested him, and much to the sur- rise of the old man’s neighbors, charged im with being a vagrant, as published in The Ster at the time. The old man’s wife led on Judge Kim- ball yesterday and stated her case, and the judge made an order releasing her hus- d. That is why he was at work last night. ———. —_ Yale A! 1 Association. The annual meeting of the Yale Alumni Association was called to order shortly after 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at 1416 F street northwest by the president, Mr. Justice Brewer. The members in at- tendance, in addition to the president, were Secretary Edward A. Bowers and Messrs. W. C. Whittemore, H. K. Willard, Frazier D. Head, Robert C. Hayden, J. H. Hayden, Cyrus 8. Hall, J. Q. Rice and W. A. Meloy. After the reading of the minutes of the last annual meeting and a statement by the secretary to the effect that the associ- ation is in a flourishing condition, officers for the ensuing year were elected as fol- lows: Justice Brewer, president; Justice Brown, first vice president; Representative John Dalziell, second vice president; Horace Wiley, secretary-treasurer; I. E. Clark, his torian, and Messrs. W. C. Whittemore, E. A. Bowers, James H. Hayden, H. K. Wil- lard and Frazier D. Head, members of the executive committee. It was suggested that ladies be invited to participate in the annual dinner of the as- sociation, or to co-operate in giving a ball, but after considerable discussion the mat- ter was left to the judgment of the ex- ecutive committee. A committee, com- prising Messrs. Clark, Meloy and Bowers, ‘was appointed to draft appropriate resolu- tions on the death of the late Col. Garrick Mallory, and, on motion, the meeting then adjourned. SEP CEES Mannered Expectorative ductor. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Apropos of the agitation against ex- pectoration in street cars— especially of to- bacco chewers—I wish to call attention to the fact that there is need for reform among the company’s employes themselves. Monday night while on the north-bound 7th etreet cable the conductor deliberately used the car floor for his receptacle. I will not mention the car, but shall feel constrained to report to headquarters the next conductor I notice in the act. It seems to me, if one will but take the pains to note the close contact of ladies’ dresses with the floor of the car, he will compre- hend the injury which it fs possible to in- flict—to say nothing of the want of re- finement and evidence of improper breeding displayed in such an uncleanly act. Will not the car companies unite in the matter of postin placards requesting gentlemen to indly not spit upon the floor? PROGRESS.

THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, )ECEMBER SWELL THE FUND Grewn People Should Contribute Generously to the Evening Star Santa Claus Olub. The Little Ones Are Doing Their Share—Many Thousand Badges Dis- tributed in the Schools. The success of The Evening Star Santa Claus Club in the public sghools is an as- sured fact. Not only have the original thousands of badges been disposed of by the supervising principals among the school children, but orders are now coming in hourly for more, hundreds at a time. This means a great shower of dimes into the strong box of Santa Claus, much good work to be done by the little missionaries in the field and a great deal of relief from suffer- ing. But there are other people than the.school chitdren who should be at work swelling the fund. There are doubtless many folks in Washington who haye charitable hearts, and whose purses are just enough longer than their needs to enable .them to give to the poor. But they may hesitate to lay their dollars down in the fear that they will go to unworthy people; that they will not be spent for the relief of genuine distress. ‘There is no need for such a hesitation now. For two years past The Star has organized a great machine for good, and, utilizing the ranks of the public school children, it has periodically sought out the most worthy cases of need and ag regularly relieved Aims and Methods. 'To the older ones, who would probaoly give of their plenty if they were sure that the money would not be wasted, a brief ex- planation of the aims and methods of The Evening Star Santa Claus Club is repeated today. The fund raised by the sale of badges and the contributions of all who feel disposed to give is put in bank and kept securely as a fund for the relief of the poor. The wearers of the blue and silver are asked to go among the poor quarters and seek for genuine cases of poverty and distress. No surer way of getting hold of the pulse of the under world is at hand. The children come to the schools from all ranks of life. In many cases they are them- selves brought face to face with grim pov- erty. They tell these cases to their teach- ers, who investigate them as far as they are able, and then give to the supervising principals of each division the most worthy instances of suffering and need. These mcn work now with the experience of two years and are enabled to sift and sort the cases until only the most worthy are left. When the division of the club's funds among the supervising principals is made, at Christ- mas time, they relieve the needs of these poor people as far as the money will go, sending them fuel, food, and, in as many cases as possible, clothing. Every dollar thus is spent to a useful purpose. In the past seasons hundreds of poor families have been greatly helped by this means. Remember, all you good Samaritans, who hold aloof for fear of imposition, the greatest care is exercised that no unworthy person shall be helped. Yet it is better to inclide a few such cases in the whole list rather than to miss one real sufferer. Dollers are ten times bigger than dimes. "Therefcre a dollar given to The Star Santa Claus Club will do ten times as much good as a ten-cent piece paid in by some small child, eager for the privilege of wearing the i:signia of charity and of working in the rarks of the searchers. It is not nec- essary for you to have a badge in order to be a giver to help some poor widow, whose grate will perhaps be chill and whose board will be empty on the glad day of r joicing. Does not the thought of such suf- fering as must necessarily exist among the poor stir the heart? Will it not open the purse strings of many mcn und women to give each a little? The list of the givers to this fund ought to reach over two col- umns. Give freely in the knowledge that not a penny will be wasted, not a dollar diverted from its object. The only fear will be that there will not be enough money to go around among the hundreds of worthy people who will be found by the children. Remember, there are upward of 25,000 workers with the badges on their breasts, trying to find out the dwellings of the needy poor. If they all succeed there will be a vast army of hungry ones eager for bread. The fund cannot be too large. If there should be a surplus—think of it, a surplus in a charity fund!—it will be saved for another year. Here are the starters of the fund this season: The Evening Star Company... Jurors in Judge Bingham’s court. R. Ross Perry......... Louise Mackall Weed James E. Fitch, A. 8; Gilbert. G. B.. Master Albert B. Dulin Total ... Rev. Dr. Stau To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your issue of the 10th instant I notice an article signed “Resident” which caused (in me) considerable surprise. The article went into a discussion on the question as to how the Rev. Dr. William Staughton spelled his family name. I never imagined that there ever was any doubt about the matter. I have at this moment before me a print of the reverend doctor taken from a por- trait painted by James Peale of Philadel- phia, the engraving done vy D. Edwin and W. R. Jones, and published by John Dainty of PhiladeJphia. This print has been in my family as long as I can re- member, and my memory reaches back to 1885. The reverend gentleman, as repre- sented in the print, is in the act of preach- ing, presumably ‘in the Fifth Baptist Church, a circular building in Sansom street between 8th and 9th, Philadelphia, said building having been erected for him specially. All this goes to show that the portrait was evidently painted during the dcetor’s life and with a certainty that he would not, in the business part of the transaction, have allowed his name to be spelled incorrectly. The name passed in- tact to the engraver and publisher and ts now printed “Rev. William Staughton, D.D.,” under the picture. As’an additional proof I may cite the fact that my parents, being enthusiastic ad- mfrers of the eminent divine, for his be- nignant, dignified presence and address, his splendid voice, his magnificent oratory (I have understood that he was educated for the stage), and his untiring industry in his ministry (he preached three times each Sunday and three times in each week), that they named their last hopeful STAUGHTON 8.

In any event it may prove fa serious affair. It may end in a settled case of catarrh, that most loathsome of diseases, and catarrh frequently leads to bronchitis or consump- tion. The only safe way 1s to purify the blood Hood’s Sarsaparilia Cures with Heod’s Sarsaparilla, which is the best remedy for catarrh because it reaches the seat of the disease.

AMUSEMENTS. ‘The Decca Concert.—An appreciative, if not a large, audience assembled in Metz- erott Hall last evening to listen to a con- cert by the Marie Decca company. Mme. Decca is well known in this city, and there were many of her friends present who ap- plauded every number she sang. She gave the well-known aria from “Linda,” Eck- ert’s Swiss echo song, Gillet’s “Loin du Bal” and Gounod’s “Ave Marie.” In each case, except the last, she was encored, and the flexibility of her voice, its extensive range and her method were pleasing. But Mme. was not the only attraction on the program. Mrs. Clara Murray prov- ed a harpist of exceptional merit, bringing out effects that have not been heard be- fore upen this instrument, and proving herself an artist of high order. She has a masterly control of the harp, a technigue that is remarkable, and she plays with ex- cellent expression and finish. She had, by the way, a remarkably fine instrument. Mr. Charles D'Almaine is a young violinist, but he plays with true artistic feeling, and only needs experience to become a master of his art. Mr. Grant Weber was an ex- cellent accompanist, and proved himself a good soloist, particularly in his Chopin numbers. Altogether, the concert was quite satisfactory, and was greatly enjoy- ed by those present. Lectures by Rev. Dr. Hamma.—A rare opportunity for instruction and entertain- ment is afforded in the lectures by Rev. Dr. Hamma on Monday and Wednesday evenings of next week in the Memorigl Lutheran Church. The subject of the lec- tures is ‘The Land of the.Midnight Sun, ‘Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Dr. Ham ma enjoys the reputation of being a pleas- ing and brilliant talker, and his views, more than a hundred of which are shown with each lecture, are of the finest ever Fresented. ‘The lectures have been de- livered in many of the large cities, and with never-failing appreciation by large audiences, while the press has uniformly accorded them the highest standard of ex- cellence. Bach of the lectures is complete in itself, and differs in all respects from the other. The Pensoara Kindergarten.—The enter- tainment to be given in the tapestry hall of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. L. Ffoulke will be of an extremely attractive character. Free kindergarten work in this city, which is sustained entirely by subscription, inclades not only this institution, which has re- ceived the support of every lady of the White House since the time of Mrs. Hayes, but the Nursery Maids’ Kindergarten Tra‘ning School, the first ever opened in the United States, in 1876, and which has been free since 1883. The entertuinment tomorrow night will include vocal music by Mrs, Thomas C. Noyes and the reading = Joan of Arc by Mrs. Louise Jewell Man- ning. Mrs. Manning’s Recitals.—Literary circles in this city are much interested in the pres- ence here of Mrs. Louise Jewell Manning, president of the Minneapolis College of Ora- tory, who is devoting her art to their enter- tainment. On Saturday night, at Metzer- ott Hall, she gave to a large audience Col. George James’ tragedy, Joan of Arc; to- night she presents, at the Elsmere, Bjorn- sen’s drama, “Arn Got Gelline;” tomorrow evening she repeats Joan of Arc in the par- lors of Mrs. C. M. Ffoulke; and Friday evening she recites “Brand,” the somber play of the great Norwegian, Ibsen, at the Universalist Church. In the latter it is claimed for Mrs. Manning that she is the greatest American interpreter of the great- est living poet. She is said to be unique in her art. Max O’Rell.—Max O’Rell, the well-known French satirist, will make his last appear- ance before a’ Washington audience next Monday night at Metzerott Music Hall, when he will deliver his brightest comedy lecture, “Her Royal Highness, Woman.’ Mr. Blouet is now finishing his trip around the world and will complete the circuit when he reaches San Francisco, the start- ing pface. This will also end this brilliant Frenchman’s career upon the lyceum stage, as it is his intention to permanently retire from the platform, and, as he expresses it, live with his family. The seats are selling repidly and the lecturer will certainly be greeted by a crowded house, This is the secondgevening of the “C. C.” course. The third attraction is General Lew Wallace, Japuary 7. The Sousa Band Concert.—The Sousa con- cert occurs at Metzerott Music Hall tbis evening. With a vocalist, fifty of the best musicians the country affords, and with John Philip Sousa himself, perhaps the most brilliant and graceful bandmaster in the states, at their head; with a prograin of infinite variety and a lot of catchy and popular encores, including his own march- es, behind them, what lover of good music can afford to turn his back upon them, no matter what the weather threatens? Band- master Sousa’s success and popularity are doubtless as much due to his musical com- positions as to his ability as a musician and leader. He is regarded as much the “March King” as Strauss is the “Waltz King.” And there is probably no modern music which is more extensively hummed and drummed and thrummed than Sousa’s inspiring marches. But nobody can play his own compositions like Sousa himself, and this will be one of the strongest reasons why our readers will turn out en masse to hear Sousa’s Band tonight. Masonic ‘femple.—in these days there are lunches and lunches, but the Quodlibet luncheons given by the ladies of the National Homeopathic Hospital are famous and their reputation is known far and wide. ‘hese will be given on Thursday and Friday of this week at Masonic Hall from 12 till 2, Thursday evening there will be selections from Pirates and Pina- fore by the children who gave those operas s0 successfully last season, also a dialect reading by Miss Janet Richards, who has read in Boston, and is known here as a most entertaining lecturer. Friday even- ing there will be singing by some of our local favorites, among them Mr. Augustus Francis, and a reading by Mr. L. P. Whit- taker, after which there will be dancing with ‘good music. There will be on sale delicious home-made candy, exquisite em- broidered linens, bags and fancy articles and aprons, which every one needs. Each lunch table will be presided over by one of the ladies as hostess, and attended by a bevy of young ladies, who will wait upon the guests without delay. The chairmen of the several committees are Mrs. John Tweedale, Mrs. Pelouze, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Dye, Mrs, Dubant, Mrs. J. B. Wight, Mrs. Wilcox, Miss Clephane, Mrs. Paul, Mrs. Quaiffe, Mrs. Birney, Mrs. Hough and Mrs. Safford.

Hosan, a registered plumber, writes as follows to the Com- missioners today on the subject of plumb- ing in the District of Columbia: “I desire to call your attention to a very serious question, whieh not only affects to @ great extent my business interests, but also those of every segistered plumber in the District of Columbia, ‘It,is a notorious fact that there are sev eral non-registered, competent plumbers who have been dotng:work in South Wash- ington for certain realeestate agents for some time past. “These men havé been constructing plumbing without ang regard whatever for the regulations goveming plumbing in the District of Columbia, and because of this nefarious’ practice the business of the repu- table registered plumbers in this section of the city has been injured to such an ex~ tent that it 1s almost impossible to con- duct legitimate business in competition with such criminal work. “Why should the registered plumbers of this city be required to comply with cer- tain conditions when the non-registered, irresponsible plumbers are permitted to do work without inspection contrary to ex- isting regulations? It is radically wrong and an outrage perpetrated upon the regis- tered plumbers of the, District of Columbia, to whom the protection of your office should be extended. As a-citizen, taxpayer and registered plumber, I do most emphati- cally protest -gainet such imposition and demand an immediate investigation with a view of affording protection to the regis- tered plumber: —- > Army and Navy Chapter.
