THEN AND NOW. But a few years ago, in the cld town of Salem, Mass., had one been able to forecast something of what the close of this nine- teenth century should bring forth, he would pave been regarded us in league with the evil one himseif; ard could he but have had a vision of a modern <ross-contiaent rail. way train as we behoid today the perfec- tion of modern transit in the great com- posite volant, “Sunset Limited,” embodying in itself appointments of comfort and lux- ury absolutely undreamed of by our fathers, chasing “Old Sol its prototype, from the gulf-washed shores of the south to the ultimate western limit of ‘our conti- nent in but a trifle over two days, and had such a dreamer dared to relate his vision, be would straightway have been hanged as a witch to the nearest tree. And yet the Aladdin palace of the Arabian Nignts’ tales. borne upomt the back of the genii from place to place at the will of its possesso is not one whit more wonderful than is this speeding palace, “Sunset Limited,” of the great Sunset Route, Southern Pacific. A journey on this magnificent train is a de- light of a lifetime, a point. from which to date history among the events which make one’s existence worth the living. Only sixty hours from New Orleans to Los Angeles and seventy-seven hours to San Francisco, through a climate as mild as tnat of the Mediterranean isles, through ‘scenery not surpessed for beauty in both Americas, and in moving parlors, sleeping chambers, baths, libraries and dining rooms as sumptuous as any palace of our great city avenues. The trip by “Sunset Limited” is a revelation to even a modern globe-trotter. Ninety-nine hours, New York to the Pacific coast, and from Eastern cities from ten to twenty hours quicker than other routes. B. B.» Barber, agt., 209 E. German st., Baltimore. E. Hawley, asst. G. T.

COUNTING THE MONEY Good Work Doze for the Santa Claus Club. ‘ ‘The Gcneral Fund Grows Rapidly—It £ ld Grow Faster Between Now and Christmas, The work of col- lecting the money from the sale of badges of The Eyen- ing Star Sarta Claus 4 Club is pretty nearly over, but the money is still coming in from the ® generous péople who waat to swell the list of donors to this splen- did charity. There His no need for the giving to cease with this week or next, for that matter, for there | wit be distress all « through the winter, whieh has hardly yet begun. There are hundreds of deserv- ing cases on the lists to be relieved, and an effort will be made to reach éverybody as soon as possible, but some of the money will probably be husbanded for use later, when the snow will cover the ground and shoes and cjcthing and fuel will be so sadly needed. A word once more as to the club and its way of working. The Star Santa Claus Club is organized by selling badges to everybody who may wish to pay 10 cents each for them. In order, however, to in- terest the children if charity and to ob- tain the fullest possible lists of poor people who need help, the badges are distributed mainly among the schools. The dimes thus collected and the dollars that are given to the fund by those who wish to do more form a relief fund that is utilized as far as possible in buying for the scores and hundreds of needy folks the three staples of life—food, fuel and clothing. The cases that are reported by the chil- dren wearing the blue and silver to their teachers are carefully investigated and en the most worthy ones are turned over to the principals of the buildings, who make some further inquiry. Finally the supervising principals of the divisions go over the lists, eliminate duplications and weed out all but the most worthy. cases, for the fund is small compared with the poverty that is to be reached. At the meeting of the executive commit- tee and the principals at The Star office this afternoon the money that has been col- lected from every source Will be lumped into one amount and then divided into such por- tions as the needs of the various sections of the city seem to deserve. The supervis- sng prinCipals are each allotted a certain sum, which they distribute among the poor by means of orders for coal, wood, shoes, clothes and groceries, according to the needs of the people whose cases have come to their notice. This work goes on through- out the bitter months, when the needs are greatest, prices are highest and work is most scarce. ‘There is no space to mention even a part of the many cases of utter destitution that have been reported to The Star. It is per- haps unfortunate that these cases cannot be set forth in detail, for then, perhaps, the eyes of the people would be opened to the real needs of the poor. There are many folks who, in their affluence and comfort, never know of the suffering that exists outside of their own warm worlds. A glance through the Santa Claus Club's packet of pathetic appeals for help would probably be an “open sesame” io scores of purses. The number of able-bodied men out of work, men who are more than anxious to labor for their families, is larger this year than ever before in the history of the city. ‘The distress that prevails in consequence is very great. Families that have never before known want are in need of the com- mon necessities of mere existence. Every penny of the fund will be néeded to pre- vent great ard intense suffering. _ The schools have done nobly, and have in most instances beaten the record of ia: year, taking hold of the work with « thusiasm. Probably the banner work wes done by the boys of the sixth grade in the Force building, taught by Mr. Mertz. Last evening they were, so far as could be a: certained, ahead of any other school in the District, having raised $49. But they were hard pressed by the boys of the fifth grade, im the same building. There was quite an interesting race between these schools, and the finish was, in the language of the turf, a hot one. The sixth grade boys came out ahead by just one dollar. Do not let the following list of contri- butions erd with the last week before Christmas. Help the cause of charity by giving right along. Suffering won't stop, even if the year 1894 does come to an end.

It is his truth, the unerring brush with Which he paints fami!- liar colors and his peculiar gift of being able to detect the humorous and the pa- thetic amid the realities of life. Mr. Herne is not afraid of being natural, and in his play, “Shore Acres,” which commences a week's engagement at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House on Mcnday evening next, the patrons of the drama are assured a wide departure from old-time methods. Although “Shore Acres” has been played continuous- ly for nearly three years, this will be its first production in Washington, and the glowing reports of its overwhelming suc- cess in New York, Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia have aroused a deep interest, and the knowing ones are anticipating a rare dramatic treat. In this connection it may be said that “Shore Acres” is not a melodrama, but a comedy-drama, and its sentimerts appeal to the hearts of all. It is impossible to compare this play with any other ever seen here, but many say !t re- calls the “Old Homestead,” only that it is far superior as a literary and dramatic work. its scenes are laid at Berry, Me., which promises some day to become a great watering place. There are four acts and five tableaux, which serve to introduce nearly thirty characters. Mr. Herne will appear in his original creation of Uncle Nathaniel, a part admirably fitted to his known abilities. “Shore Acres” is a most appropriate play for the Christmas holiday. ‘There will be matinees Christmas day and Saturday. New National Theater.—The great bur- leeque “1492," which has had such a phe- nomenal run in New York, will be seen at the New National Theater next week. Academy of Music.—“‘The Two Colonels,” a play by Mr. W. R. Goodall, will have its initial production on the stage at the Academy of Music Monday night. The company is a strong one. Butler's Bijou.—A thrilling scene in that powerful drama, “The Stowaway,” is the now celebrated safe-breaking scene, where the two genuine ex-burglars expose in a dramatic way the methods of the modern cracksman. ‘This will be enacted each night next week at Butler’s Bijou Theater, when the real Simon-pure burglars known to the police as “Spike” Hennessey and “Kid” McCoy appear in this play. They creep noiselessly in, masked in black, flash their dark lanterns around in a way that makes the audience hold its breath for fear of being heard, put their ears to the key-holes, and then’ deftly begin the work of drilling holes in the big door near the combination. The audience watches the movements of the men in breathless sus- pense. The two talking burglars grab all the rugs in the room and make a pile of them before the safe door to deaden the noise of the coming explosion. The holes are finally drilled, the powder put in, fol- lowed by a lighted fuse, which the audience can see flickering away in a fitful way and growing steadily shorter and shorter. There is one last flicker of the fuse, then a puff of smoke, and—bang!—a deafening explo- sion. The great door leaps forward and falls softly upon the mats, the master of the house comes rushing in, the hero ap- pears as if by magic at the window, a ruf- flan follows, a shot is fired, the old man falls, the big clock door flies open, a iittle boy sees all, just in time to become a valuable witness of the hero's innocence. and the curtain falls amid the wildest en- thusiasm. No more thrilling scene of real- ism was ever seen upon the stage. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Weber and Fields’ superior aggregation of refined vau- deville “stars” will be the Christmas week attraction at the Lyceum. This organiza- tion is well known here. Messrs. Weber and Fields are today the recognized lead- ers of the vaudeville profession. A mera mention of the talent is a sufficient guar- antee. It includes the following: Weber and Fields, the inimitable dialect come- dians, in their new act, ““The German Sena- tors at Bowling,” whiff ts said to surpass all of their past efforts; Miss Lottie Gilson, the little magnet; this charming and petite artist will render a new repertoire of catchy songs; McIntyre and Heath, the clever Ethiopian comedians; James Hoey: better known as Young Mule, a brother to Old Hoss; Falke and Semons, the refined musical artists; John E. Drew, comedian and dancer, and Castellett and Hall, the up-to-date sketch artists. Matinees Tues- ¢ay, Thursday and Saturday. The Messi:th.—Practically all of Handel's compositions were performed as soon as written, and through the opportunity thus corstantly afforded him of comparing his conception with their realization his growth of mind was such that he surpass- ed himself more rapidly than he in flu- enced others. His oratorios are, in their own style, as unapproached now as ever; he seems to have exhausted what art can do in this direction. “The Messiah,’ for one reason or another, seems, now, to have been the culmination, though by no means the last, of his oratorio composi- tions, and seems destined to outlive all the others. A composition must indeed have strong musical attractiveness to live in unwavering popularity for 150 years, as has “The Messiah,” which will be pro- duced as usual by the Choral Society dur- ing the holidays on Friday evening, the 28th instant, at Convention Music Hall, with a chorus of 850 voices and Mme. Emma Juch, Miss Katherine Fleming, Mr. William H.' Rieger and Mr. Ericsson F. Bushrell in the solo roles. The prices are popular, and the indications point to an audience taxing the capacity of the hall to the utmost. Mozart Symphony Club.—The program arranged for the concert of the Mozart Symphony Club at Metzerott Music Hall is most varied and entertaining. The string quartet, composed of Messrs. Stoel- zer, Lund, Blodeck and Hoch, will play Mozart's “Titus” overture and three lighter selections, an andante movement by Ru- binstein, Lacome’s “March Tzigane” and one of Gillet’s dainty compositions, “Douce Caresse.” Miss Braems, the prima donna soprano, will sing an’ aria from “Der Freischutz” and with Miss De Vielle in a duet from “Martha.” Herr Hoch will play a cornet solo, cne of his own compositicas, and he will render the Emperor's Salue on the old Roman triumphal trumpet, which has never been heard in this country before. Mr. Lund will play a “Scenede Ballet” of Beriot on the violin; Mr. Stoel- zer a selection from “Die Meistersinzer,” on the viola d’armour, and Mr. Blodeck a solo of Offenbach on’ ‘the viol da gambi This is not all of the program by any means, but it gives an idea of the variety to be found in it. One of the attractive features of the evening will be a recitation by Miss De Vielle, who is an accomplished elocutionist, Jennie O'Neill ¥ ‘The well-known elocutionist and nator Jennie O'Neill Potter is in the city, and she will remain here probably resting until her ap- pearance at the fourth entertaihment of the National Lyceum Course, January 2 at Metzerott Music Hall. — Holiday Excursion Rate to Baltimore via Pennsylvania R.R. ‘The passenger department, Pennsylvania railroad, announces sale of excursion tick- ets to Baltimore, on account of the Christ- mas holfdays, at rate of one dollar and sixty cents ($1.60), December 22 to 25, in- elusive, and December 29 to January 1, in- clusive.

Liquor Question of Great Importance Has Been Raised. A questicn of considarable importance to saloon keepers and parents of boys who are addicted to the use of intoxicants has been raised In the case of Samuel Gassen- heimer, charged with selling liquor to minors. The question was raised by Law- yer C. Maurice Smith and should the mat- ter be settled favorably to the defendant it will result in giving the saloon keepers the right to sell to boys over sixteen years old, or in others words, the minority Mmit will be fixed at sixteen instead of twenty- one years. Gassenheimer was convicted under the law of selling to boys between the ages of sixteen ard twenty-one years, and this fovel-~question comes up on a motion for a new trial. “Does section 6 of the excise law make the period of minority sixteen years?” is the question to be settled. ‘This section of the act provides: “That under the issued in ac- cordance with this act no intoxicating liquors shall be sold, given or in any way disposed of to any mimor or intoxicated person, or to an habitual drunkard, nor to any person who isvin the habit of be- coming intoxicated if such person's wife, mother or daughter shall, in writing, re- quest that the saloon ‘keeper shall not sell to such person above the age of sixteen years, or between 12 o'clock midnight and 4 o'clock in the morning, during which last named hours and@ on Sundays every bar room and other place where intoxicat- ing liquors are sold shall be kept closed and no intoxicating liquor sold.” Mr. Smith contends that this makes it a necessary averment in the information that the minor was under the age of six- tgen years, and that “the language of the act makes it incumbent for the pleader to aver that the persen was in the habit of becoming intoxicated, and further, that the mother, wife or daughter of the in- toxicated person gave notice in writing to the saloon keeper not to sell to such per- son over the age of sixteen years. This being the case, counsel argues that the natural inference is that the saloon keeper may sell to persons who dé not come with- in the prescribed provisions. The attorney for the District and Judge Miller are anxious to have this point set- tled by the Supreme Court of the District. In order to have this done Gassenheilmer will probably be granted a new tria] and then the case will be taken to the upper court, as that court has concurrent juris- diction with the Police Court. This act is necessary, because the act recrganizing the Police Court made no provision giving the right of appeal to defendants. —_—_———_—_ Had the Watch. Several days ago a lady's gold watch was stolen from the house of Thomas Smith, on Brightwood awenue, and a young man named James Waters was suspected of the theft. He was not arrested, however, as there was no direct proof against him, but yesterday he attempted to pawn the watch in an avenue pawn shop and the detectives arrested him. His claim is that he bought the watch from a stranger and paid $3 for it. He is held for a hearing. pecantcreairas Holiday Excursion Tickets to the South via Pennsylvania R.R.

NO PEACH DAY OR NIGHT FROM’ ITCHING AND BURNING, DOCTORS FAILED, CURED BY CUTI My child's disease, which was the worst kind of Eczema, started on one cheek lke a ringworm, It spread and itched so the poor little fellow had no peace night or day. Then it started on the ek and chin, until all were raw as a fsteak, like a burn where you would rub off the skin, and bloody water oozed out con- stantly. His sufferings were sterrible. I tied his hands that he would not scratch, then he would rub his poor little cheeks on \ shoulders to re- Heve the intense itching. I had as good a doctor as was In Philadelphia, but he failed to relieve him. I read of the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and at once purchased them. Strange to say, that very night he rested without scratching his face, and from that on he improved and: soon was en- tirely cured. I would like any one suffering from this terrible disease to see my boy now; his com- Jexion 1s as clear and smpoth as can be. ‘This ts an unsolfeited testimonial, and every word ts true.
