Other Cases im the Procession Before Pelice Court Judges Today—Small Prisoners in Line, ny ‘That love is not the only thing that laughs at locksmiths was shown in the Police Court this morning when two police- men exhibited a broken lock and explained bow John Waller and Thomas McMahon had escaped from the ninth police station. The young men were under the influence of Mquor Saturday night, and when locked in the ninth precinct station they were so boisterous that it became necessary to put them in the dungeon in the basement. There the young men soon fell asleep, and when they awoke they were sober enough to realize where they were, and they were extremely anxious to get out in order that they might be at large to enjoy the Christmas holidays. It tock them but a@ few seconds to remove the lock and then they departed without attracting the at- tention of any of the officers. Policemen Gee and Tracy stated their case to the court and McMahon made a statement in his own beha'f. “We were locked up Saturday night,” he said, “and J didn’t know anything until I awoke and found myself in the dungeon. The door was not locked and we went out.’ ‘And,” added the judge, $10 or thirty days each. : Frederick Finnegan answered “guilty” in a husky voice to a charge of being drunk and disorderly. He represented Northeast Washington in the procession, and the usual fine was imposed. John West and John Stewart, colored men, arrested in the same section, also indulged in some cheap ‘iquor last night and they plead guilty. “Five dollars each,” was what Judge Kimball told them. your honor,” said one of the “will you let me speak to you?” Yes,” ‘answered the judge, “what do you want to say?” “I want to ask if you will trust me till the Saturday after Christmas?” Judge Kimball informed him that he was not doing any credit business just now and the defendant stepped back. David Thompson, who gave his bond to leave the city a few days ago, was in to- day’s procession because he was found begging yesterday. “I saw him go to the house of Secretary Lamont yesterday,” said Policeman Ker- sten, “and then he stopped at other houses in the neighborhood.” “When were you here before?” Judge Kimball asked him. “Last week,” was his response. “And didn't I take your personal bonds to leave the city? “Yes, sir, and I did leave,” he answered. “I was on my way to Baltimore from Alex- ardria yesterday when I was arrested.” “You will have to go to the workhouse for thirty days.” Victor Ross, a colored boy seventeen years old, was in a party of crap shooters yesterday. ut I wasn’t in the game,” he told Judge Kimball. ‘The policeman explained how he walked in the alley and found the gamblers. They had a boy on watch, but he was not quick enough for the officer. John T. Davis and Martha Reynolds, col- ored, who engaged in a dispute in a bar- room about a child’s coat, were fined $5 each. A colored woman named Sarah Smith followed two soldiers into a cook shop in South Washington last night. “They insulted me in the ‘Division,’” was her complaint to the proprietor,and she became so loud and profane that a police- man arrested her. She was fined $10 or 30 days. Lewis Fields, a fourteen-year-old colored boy, was the last one in the short proces- sion, and his plea to a charge of disorderly conduct was “guilty.” “He was shooting crap,” told the court. “On account of his age,” sald the court, “I will fine him only $5 this time.” Lewis went down. seed “Tae De Admissions. Answering the petition for divorce filed against’ him several days ao, Ernest C. Kiesecker denies, in an affidavit filed to- day, that he has cruelly treated his wife, May.gie Kiesecker, or that he drove her from home. He admits certain acts of adultery, but says that Mrs. Kiesecker con- doned them. He positively denies ever having committed adultery with Mary Marr Durham, but admits driving his wife from his store on-the 12th of last month, explaining that he did so because she used the most insulting and abusive language therein, threatening to go with other men. He charges that she has admitted to him that she has been unfaithful, and charges also that she has broken up his home, cruelly assaulted him, and is now en- deavoring to ruin his business. He admits selling his store, 727 6th street southwest, but denies that ‘she had an interest in it. Because of the alleged facts in his an. swer, he prays.that Mrs. Kiesecker's peti- tion for divorce be dismissed. a A Presentation. Last evening at 8:30 o'clock the employes of the southwest post office assembled in a body and called on Captain A. C. Irvine (their late superintgndent) to pay their respects. Later in the evening, on behalf of the employes of the southwest station, Mr. John J. Murphy, assistant superin- tendent, surprised Captain Irvine by pre- senting him with a handsome and valuable Masonic charm. Mr. Murphy in a few but touching remarks portrayed the esteem in which Captain Irvine was held by his as- sociates in the office. Captain Irvine re- sponded with great feeling. The charm was attached to the chain of the watch (which was presented to Captain Irvine by his employes of the B. and P. R. R. when leaving that service to take charge of the southwest station) by Miss Mayme T. Jones. After an interchange of greetings and a few selections on the piano by Miss Mary Irvine all present were ushered into the dining room, where a supper was thor- cughly enjoyed. Among those present were Miss Mayme T. Jones, Mrs. Nellie Fisher, Misses Louise, Nellie V. and Mary Irvine, Dr. D. H. Hazen, Jno. Miller, Jno. J. Lordan, Jas. H. Kell, Nathan Hazen, Frank Byram, Henry J. Bradley, Chas. B. Pumphrey, A. L. Goodall, Geo. B. Bishop, W. M. Fogarty, M. K. Eppley, George F. Hickey, Chas. B. Bond, Jno. J. Murphy, Jno. M. Roux, Lee Irvine. ees The Legion of Loyal Women. The advisory board, executive committee and members of the Legion of Loyal Women, at its meeting Saturday evening, completed arrangements for the annual reports and installation of officers-elect on next Saturday, instead of on the regular legion night, which falls this year on Christmas eve, Monday, the 24th, on which evening no meeting will be held. Arrange- ments are also in progress for a reception to Mr. Percy Winter, Prof. J. H. Vermilya, Mr. Sheridan Ferree, Mr. Halstead P. Hoover, Mr. Eugene P. Davis, Mr. Harry Howard and. the entire cast and company of talented little folks who recently ren- dered the opera of Jack the Giant Killer so artistically for the legion’s benefit. De- tails for carrying out the decision of the legion to give the poor under its charge a specially happy holiday season were com- pleted. “you are fined @ policeman The second annual oratorical contest of Waugh Chapter, Epworth League, oc- curred last evening before a large au- dience.

Albaugh’s.—‘it was English; quite Eng- Ush, you know,” at Albaugh’s last night, and “A Gaiety Girl” did it. That she did it well goes without saying. Taking it by and large, “A Gaiety Girl” {s not nearly as improper in atmosphere as most French Productions are, though an Englishman may lack the Gallic delicacy in serving such viands to a mixed audience, and thus make it seem to be more pronounced. “A Gaiety Girl” is a musical comedy of the two-act type, and it is presented by a well- balanced company of artists. No one is much superior to any other, but all are superior. There is a gossamer-like plot in this play, in which love makes the wheels go round, but it ts merel;” the thread on which hang the dancing and songs that constitute the real thing. Of the dancers, Miss Cissy Fitzgerald, an unusually hand- some young woman, is the leader, and her beautiful dance in the first act carried the — unanimously. A graceful dancer and t singer of the company is Miss Decima Moore, who might be a star in @ society comedy, so magnetic and adaptable she is. Miss Hobs n’s “Lady Virginia” and Miss Palotta’e “Nina,” her maid, were cleverly done. A really good comedian is Harry Monkhouse, and his work has the charm of naturalness. An odd fish w: he “Maj. Barclay” of Mr. Fred Kaye, and whether he talked or sang, the audience laughed in spite of itself. Mr. Bradfield and Mr. Ryley as “Bobbie” and “Charlie” were fetching sweethearts, and won their girls and the audience, too. A dazzling feature of the second act was the carnival dance. The ensembles were good at all oints. As a rule, the jokes were not too inglish to be understood. New National Theater.—De Wolf Hopper is no less a favorite in “Dr. Syntax” than he has been in his other comic opera pro- ductions. The performance is one that “de- fies criticism” in all that the phrase may be construed to imply. As to plot, there is no pretense of originality. But the adapta- tion is cleverly made. As to music, there is nothing ambitious. But the rhythms are of the sort that go tingling through the nervous system of the auditor in a way which calls for dancing. The dancing is Uberally forthcoming. Hopper as Dr. Syn- tax dances. Edna Wallace Hopper dances. Alice Hosmer dances, Miss Jennie Gold- thwaite dances—in fact, nearly everybody dances. Miss Hosmer is cast for the role of Miss Zenobia Tropics, the spinster pro- prietress of the academy, and she plays with the spirit and conscientiousness which are noteworthy in all that she undertakes. She is, without doubt, one of the leaders— perhaps the leader—in her especial field. The dvet in which she appeared with Hop- per in the first act scored the first of a liberal number of encores. Bertha Walt- zinger sang with great effect the music with which Mr. Morse has provided her, being well adapted to the exhibition of her voice’s exceptional resources. Cyril Scott as Jack Alden was also conspicuously praiseworthy. Miss Goldthwaite as the clumsy girl who stutters was captivatingly funny, and Alfred Klein, petit in stature, but big in his mirth-provoking capacities, plays the part of an effete nobleman neat- ly. Hopper is, of course, the mainspring of the production. His fun is not delicate, and he does not try to make it so. He is a humorist of broad strokes, and thorough- ly an artist in his line. His effects are not accidertally obtained. They are stud- ied and presented with a keen perception of what makes the public laugh and what does not. The play is rather more sedate as to its theme than the ordinary operatic extravaganza, but the mirth is not allowed to flag for a moment through any undue regard for the conventionalities. Academy.—There was “A Run On the Bank” at the Academy last night,but those Napoleons of dramatic art, Ward and Vokes, ably assisted by a competent force, never let on, but with heroic gallantry met every turn and sent every depositor away happy. This is the first appearance of these two great variety stars in the legitimate, and if roars of laughter and continued ap- plause make for anything, they have made an eminent success, for the audience was unstinted in its expressions of approval. Of course, Ward and Vokes are the stars of the cast, but associated with them in their farcical success are such artists in specialties as Harry Clay Blaney, Sid De Gray, Alfred Grant, Chas. Jerome, Joe Russell and Harry Rossitor, with half a dozen young women, of more than ordinary beauty of face and figure, and graceful in dancing and song. All the specialties are good, and it is not necessary to say that of Ward and Vokes in their great hit, “Percy and Harold,” which is the feature of the third act; indeed, it is the feature of the entire performance, and in its pe- culiar line is without a rival on the stage. As the play and the players now stand, they may be criticised for some lack of finish, but after such a team works for a season or two in combined harness, it re- sults in a company which grows’ better every year. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Sam_ TT. Jack’s Creole Company opened a week's engagement at Kernan’s last night to big business. The company includes many fa- miliar favorites, with the original Tom Matkintosh, who is a whole show in him- self. The term “creole” in connection with the show is a misnomer, but the audience cared nothing for that. The score of swarthy shapely maidens filled all require- ments, and their specialties were heartily enjoyed. A first part, entitled the ‘“Tropi- cal Temple of Thespis,” introduced the rength of the company. Then came the clalties. The Mallory brothers did a clever song and dance; William and May contributed a comedy spark, and _ the “Moonlight minuet” was clevel There were an even dozen living pictures that was cleverly executed. A realistic picture of the sunny south, entitled “Plantation Pastimes,” ending with a dancing contest, concluded the entertainment. Again to- night. “Max O’Rell Lecture.—The French, English and American women, as a type, were critically and wittily discussed by M. Paul Blouct (Max O’Rell), the well- known author, last evening at Metzerott Hall. M.Blouet was most amusing at times, and if he hit national or secial weaknesses it was done so that no pain remained after the transitory shock. He gave his hear- ers a clearer insight into the French na- tional character than 1s generally pos- sessed. Society, he says, is the same every- where. The ¥entieman in Paris is the same as he is of London, New York or Washing- ton. It is only with the popular masses that characteristics can be studied, and for this reason the lecturer did not take the society woman of France, England and America for his discussion. The French woman, he says, is her husband's equal, his partner, his friend, his confidante. She krows what he makes every day; what he loses. He consults her about investing his savings. The English woman is her hus- band’s inferior, his housekeeper—with no wages, and no chance to leave if he ucesn’t suit. The American woman is her hus- band’s superior. The Englishman scorned to reveal his business affairs to his wife. The American refrained out of kindness from telling her. The French girl by mar- rying gained her liberty; the English girl lost hers, while the American girl retained hers. He thought the lot of the American girl most enviable. If he could be born again he would pray to be born an Amert- can woman. He thought even his own compatriots could take a lesson in polite- ness from the men in America. While the Frenchman will stand back to allow a lady to pass, he will keep his gaze uplifted on her. The American will bend his héad in deep respect. M. Blouet’s lecture was brim- ming with personal reminiscences and per- tinent illustrations, which kept his hearers in excellent humor and in thorough ac- cord. The Brownles.—A great deal of interest is being manifested in the children's pro- duction of Palmer Cox's “Brownies in Ringing Noises In the ears, sometimes a ringing, buzzing sound, or snapping like the report of a pistol, are caused by catarrh in the head. Loss of smell and hear- ing also result from catarrh, which may develop into bronchitis or consumption. Hood's Sarsa- parilla cures catarch by thoroughly purifying the blood. Get only Hood's, because Hood’s Sarsaparilla Cures “I bad eatarrh in the head for five years. I tried several of the best advertised remedies with- out relief. Three bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilia cured me entirely. 1 cannot say too much in its praise.” WINIFRED R. FOX, Collector of Taxes, Somers Point, N. J. Get Hood's. “HOOD'S PILLS cure liver ills, constipation, in- digestion, jaundice, sick headache, &c. LUXURIANT HAIR Is produced by the CUTICURA REMEDIES when all others fatl.

Sold throughout the werld. land,” which is to be given at the Ac: of Music om Thi y and Fri- day of Christmas week» The cast and the chorus were recruited entirely from chil- dren of the public schkpols, co oy rO- ceeds of the entertainments are to e gtven to the Teachers’ Annuity and xi Seeo- ciation. It is hard to find @ more attrac- tive subject than the .“Brownies” around which to build an entertainment. We have Brownie spoons; Brownie cups, Brownie pins, Brownie:/fans, in fact, as one small boy said, ‘That's just ite" the Brownles, they're into everything,” and now, on top of all this,:iwe are to have a Brownie show, and by children, too! Real Brownies we suppose! they will be when they are costumed and made up. It ought to be a big success. “Land of the Midnight Sun,” the first of a series of lectures on scenes in Scan- dinavia, was delivered last evening in the Memorial Lutheran Church by Rev. Dr. Hamma, who recently made an exploration of the country in question. The attend- ance was quite large, and great interest was manifested in the lecturer's interest- ing description of the “Land of the Mid- night Sun” and in the handsome views displayed. Another lecture will be given tomorrow night. ‘The Oratorio of the “Messiah."—In con- nection with the coming performance of “The Messiah” by the Choral Society on Friday evening, the 28th, at Convention Music Hall, it is interesting to note that the custom of the audience standing dur- irg the singing of the great “Hallelujah” chorus had its origin at the first perform- ance of the oratorio in London in 1749. On that occasion large numbers of the audience, including the king and mem- bers of the royal family who were pres- ent, involuntarily arose at the first oc- currence of the phrase “Fer the Lord omnipotent relgneth" in the chorus refer red to and remained standing till the num- ber was concluded. The Kearsarge-Alabama Fight. Pay Director Smith of the navy last night entertained the members of the Army and Navy Club and their friends with a most interesting account of the celebrated engagement between the Kear- sarge and the rebel privateer Alabama off the coast of Cherbourg near the close of the civil war. Director Smith was attach- ed to the Kearsarge at that time, and now that Surgeon General Brown has passed away he is the sole surviving commission- ed officer of the Union side who took part in that engagement. His paper included many rew and interesting details of the great raval fight, and Mr. Smith will prob- ably be requested to repeat it for the ben- efit of those of his friends who were un- able to attend last night's meeting. —_—-— @ Reduced Rates for Christmas and New Yeni The B. and O.
