BADGES CONFISCATED Grand Jury Takes Possession of Santa Claus Emblems. The Good Work for the Poor Goes qn Apace and Fund Steadily Grows. Little folks frem away out of town are writing to The Star for the pretty, blue and silver badges of The Evening: Star Santa Cla! Club. Even from far-away Michigan, away up in the northern penin- sula, comes a letter from a littie chap who last winter wore a badge. This youthful member of the club—Master Ben. Chappel —contributes his dime again to the good fund that {fs so steadily ‘growing, and a pin and ribbon have been sent scurrying away to the north to him. It will thus be seen that, although the poor folks who are to be helped by this fund live in Washington, it {s not strictly a lecal charity. Dimes are just as good from Michigan as from the West End of Washington. They have even a sweeter tinkle, for they must come with right good will, coming so far to do their little toward making a merry Christmas for the poverty-stricken folks. The club has been summoned before the grand jury of Washington to answer to the charge of helping the poor. This is a most serious offense, and likely to result in a heavy punishment. The grand jury today sent fo: a representative of The Star and warned him to bring with him the incriminating evidence of the good work that is being done—that is, a number of Santa Claus Club badges. The testi- mony was all one-sided. The club had cer- tainly been guilty of the misdemeanor of doing good. The grand jury thereupon found an indictment. The sentence was that the badges should be confiscated, and they were thereupon taken from the rep- resentative—twenty-four in number—at more than market rates. In view of the fact that the poor people deserve help, and that there is need for every cent that can be raised, the grand jury allowed the club to go on with the work, under the promise that it should do it again, and again, as often as possible. The list of givers keeps a-growing. The dollars are rolling in almost as fast as the dimes, and they may catch up with them. It fg to be hoped they will. The young Jjadies of the Norwood Institute have taken an interest in the good work, and yester- day sent for one hundred of the ribbons and pins, which they will wear throughout the holidays. - ‘The list up to date fs as follow: The Evening Star Company...

Total RESIGNATION WITHDRAWN. Mr. Noonan Continues on the Plamb- ing Board. Some time ago, as printed in The Star, Mr. T. V. Noonan resigned as a member of the plumbing board. On the 12th the Commissioners, through Secretary Tindall, sent a letter tc Mr. Noonan, as follows: “The Commissioners have received your communication of the 28th ultimo, tender- ing your resignation as a member of the plumbing board. The manner in which you have discharged the duties of that po- sition has been so satisfactory to the Com- missioners and the public that the Com- missioners feel constrained to request that you will reconsider the matter, with a view to retaining your membership on said board. They therefore direct me to advise you that they will withhold action upon your resignation, unless you positively in- sist upon its acceptance.” In compliance with this letter, Mr. Noo- an has withdrawn his resignation, and attended again at the meeting of the plumbing board held yesterday evening. ——>—_ FOR THE NEWSBOYS. Preparing for the Annual Christmas Dinner at the Home. On Thursday of next week the annual Christmas dinner will be given at the home of the Newsboys’ and Children’s Aid So- ciety, #27 E street northwest. Owing to the generous contributions of frieids, the soclety has been enabled to provide a din- ner snd some little useful gifts on the Christmas anniversary for the inmates of the home, and many poor and homeless children. This year there are many chil- dren who are expecting the annual treat, and the friends of the society are not go- ing to allow them to be disappointed. Contributions in money may be left at or sent to the business office of The Evening Star, and contributions of money, clothing, toys, books, or to the table will be received at the home by the Christmas dinner com- mittee. ‘The following cash contributions have al- ready been receive The Evening Star.

Second Anniversary of the Society Celebrated. The second anniversary of the Society of Colonial Wars was celebrated last evening with appropriate ceremonies at the Shore- ham, The meeting was presided over by Surg. Gen. Walter Wyman of the marine hos- pital service, and with kim were the fol- lowing officers recently elected: Deputy governor, Capt. Oscar Fitzalan Long; lieu- tenant governor, Professor G.

Mczart Symphony Club.—One of the best musical organizations on the road is the Mozart Symphony Club, which comes to Metzerott Music Hall next Wednesday night. It includes a string quartet, com- posed of Otto Lund, Theo. Hoch, Richard Stoélzer ard Mario Llodeck, and two vocal artists, Cecilia Braeims, soprano, and Zoe de Vielle, contralto. Mlle. de Vielle is also an elocutionist of ability, and of the male members of the company three are solo- ists, Theo. Hoch, on the cornet; Richard Stoelzer, on the viola d’ amour, and Mario Blodeck, on the viol da gamba. Herr Hoch also plays solos on the old Roman tri- umphal trumpet. Altogether the program is of the most varied and interesting char- acter. Seats are now on sale at Mtze- ‘The Brownies.—When Prof. Howard tap- ped his baton yesterday afternoon at the Brownie rehearsal’ for the opening strains of that lively chorus, “We're None of Us Pugnaciously Inclined,” he faced two hun- qred of the most enthusiastic youngsters ever assembled for an operatic venture. Feiries, Brownies and Mother Goose peo- ple were all on hand and eager for the mimic war to begin between the insects and their valorous conquerors, the Brownie band. Everybody, from the Queen of the Fairies down to her tiniest subject, is working with a will to make this the most unique and successful children’s entertain- ment ever given in this city, Kleinschmidt and Holcomb, as the Italian and his trained bear, are immense. The Fan song by six little sprites is another feature that will delight every child’s heart. The Brownle make-up will look like a. page from Palmer Cox, the costumes being brought from New York, where they were designed un- der his direction. It looks as if the Acad- emy will not hold all the little folks, who are counting on the “Brownie” show as a stipulated part of their Christmas pleas- ures. Tomorrow is the last chance to get tickets from the public school teachers, as the few that are left will be found only at the box office after that date. Weber and Fields Company—Manager Kernan’s gala attraction for next week will be Weber and Field's Own Company. ‘This organization is undoubtedly the most complete and refined aggregation of variety“’stars” on the road; all the members are artists standing pre-eminent in their respective lines, Since its last app ance here the company has been material- ly strengthened by those well-known Ethi- opian comedians, McIntyre and Heath. Others in the company are Lottle Gilson, the little magnet; James Hoey, better known as “Young Mule,” a brother to “Old Castillet and Hall, the clever sketch artists; John E. Drew, dancer and come- dian; Falke and Semons, the musical mon- archs, and Weber and Fields, the inimita- ble dialect comedians. During this engage- ment there will be matinees daily. National Rifles’ Armory.—A successful dramatic entertainment for the benefit of the Church of St. Michael and All Angels was held last evening in National Rifles’ Armory. A number of well-known ama- teurs participated in the program. ‘The Choral Society.—So largely does Han- del’s reputation rest upon his compositions of the oratorio class that the fact that un- til the ripe age of fifty-five he devoted himself almost entirely to opera is almost forgotten. The dramatic element which Handel imparted to his sacred oratorios has contributed largely to their continued popularity with admirers of the highest class of choral music.” “The Messiah which will receive its fifth annual Chris| mss production by the Choral Society on Friday evening, the 28th, at Convention Music Hall, possesses this element in a marked degree, and Is, in this and other respects, the representative choral compo- sition of the greatest composer of choral music. “The Stowaway.”—The Stowaway” will be the next attraction at Butler’s Bijou ‘Theater, opening ~Monday next, December 24. The beauty of the stage settings and the more than ordiaary strength of the company have been highly praised wherever the play has been presented. Around a plot of absorbing interest the author has woven’ a thread of comedy which lightens whatever tendency it may have to somberness. In keeping with the excellence of the play is the scenery, all of which is new, having been prepared for this season's tour. The first act shows a low quarter of Londen, picturing a loag, narrow alley and the forks of two streets, the houses of which are set out, giving a correct and realistic Idea of distance and perspective. There is a low public house on the corner, and far away beyond the flickering lights of the narrow street the moon rises and the stars peep out their cheerful nightly greeting. In the fourth act a full-rigged yacht, genuine from the top of its spiral mast to the bottom of its keelson, is shown, and upon its deck occurs the entire action of the scene. The com- pany Is said to be one of unusual strength, and it is pretty safe to predict a profitable stay for “The Stowaway” In this cit: Rev. Dr. Stafford’s Lecture.—The lecture at Metzerott Music Hall tonight by Re Dr. Stafford, the assistant pastor of St. Patrick's Church, will be one of the most entertaining of the season. He has chosen “Hamlet” for his subject and as he has been for years an earnest and painstaking Shakespearean student it is certain that he will present the results of his analysis of the greatest of the tmmortal dramat- ist’s creations in a manner that will charm and instruct. Dr. Staiford has a national reputation as a lecturer as well as a pulpit orator, and wherever he has spoken he has won praise from his audience and the best critics. The lecture is t# start a fund for a new operating room at the Emergency Hospital, a worthy object, that should ap- peal to ‘all, although the lecture should draw a crowded house on its merits alone. ge Taunton Silver -Plate Co.'s Sale. ‘The fact that the attendance of buyers at the twenty-third annual sale of silver- ware, Rogers’ cutlery, mantel clocks and bronzes, at the exhibition rooms of Walter B. Williams & Co., 10th street and Pennsyl- vania avenue, has constantly increased, and that the business done has grown in the same ratio, establishes the popularity of the goods and the auctioneer’s claims to their being of the highest class.

In any event {t may prove a 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 is to purify the blood Hood’s Sarsaparilla Cures with Hcod’s Sarsaparilia, which fs the best remedy for catarrh because it reaches the seat of the disease.

An Effert to Secure His Release From St. Elizabeth’ i An effort is soon to be made to obtain the release from the Government Hospital for the Insane of Col. J. Q. Pi Burnside, the al- leged defaulting disbursing officer of the Post Office Department. @ol. Burnside, who has been in the asylum for about ten years, is now sixty-seven years»old, and his de- tention at this institutiom is the result of his mental condition as shown after his arrest, when it was almost certain that he would be sentenced toprigon. For six years, it is said, he has beeni endeavoring to get a trial, but without success: During the past six months, it is said, he has shown out- ward evidence of heart trouble and has con- versed about nothing but @ trial. He seems to imagine that he will be acquitted in short order should his case be presented to a jury, Lawyer Chas. Maurice Smith, his counsel, will make a move in the case In a few days, but just how he is to proceed is not known. At the time of Col. Burnside’s arrest he was worth more than $50,000, which was turned over to the government, and since then his bondsmen have settled their end of the case with the government. Mr. Smith feels confident that the patient will soon be discharged from the asylum, so he will again be able to return to his family.
