The recent sociable and donation party given by the Catholic Knights of Wash- ington for the benefit of the orphan boys of St. Joseph’s Asylum was attended this year with Its usual success, and although full returns for tickets have not yet been made we feel sure that the proceeds will equal those of last vear. ‘The work was ably seconded by the committee on donations, so it is not sur- prising that most satisfactory results should come from the united efforts of those devoted gentlemen, who not only labored with untiring energy in soliciting contributions for the orphans, but contrib- uted most generously themseives. Both sisters and orphans desire to ex- tend their grateful tribute of thanks to the Catholic Knights and the community t large for their generous response to the peal of the committee on donations, while to Mrs. James F. Barbour, for her substantial ani lideral contribution (one hundred pairs of shoes for the orphans); Mr. Julius Lansburgh, for the handsome programs donated by him: the Great Falls ice Company, for their long-continued zen- erosity to the orphans; Misses Coppes and Schwing, in charge of the supper table, with the other charitable ladies who con- tributed so materially to the success of the sociable, most especial acknowledgments are due. In fine, to each and all of the kird benefactors of St. Joseph’s Asylum its grateful inmates present their cordial thanks, and to each and all they say, from their hearts, a very happy Christmas and @ most prosperous New Year. sono 8c.

Legaro live on I street north- west between 17th and 18th streets. They are neighbors, but not friends. The cause of the unfriendly feeling between them came out in the Police Court today, when a case involving a charge of obstruction against Mr. Duncarson was tried. A ton of ccal was dumped in the alley in rear ot Mr. Duncanson's house, and was permitted | to remain there twenty-five minutes. ‘This caused Mr. Legare to complain, and Judge Kimball decided that the complaint vas well fouled. A fine of $ was impos- ed and execi Jn of sentence was suspend- ed. Mr. Duncanson wanted to appeal the case, tut as the law makes the Police Court judgment in such matters Jnal, no such course could be pursued. Mr. Legare wanted to make an explana- tien to h neighbor, but the latter de- clined to listen to him: Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been granted to the following: Fayette E.

The List of Subscribers Grows Steadily and the Fands Will Do an Im- mense Amount of Good. ‘The Evening Star Santa Claus Club is not through with its work by any means, just because Christmas comes tomorrow, and then the jolly fellow with the reindeers and the overflowing pack will have made his rounds and disappeared for another year. Santa Claus may come and go, but he does not clear up all the problems by means of his visit. He leaves an awful lot of suffer- ing and poverty behind him. He can, per- haps, give the children toys and the grown folks pleasant surprises, but he docs not reach the hovels on the commons or the tenements in the alleys. He does not fill the empty coal bin or the bare shelves. He seld@m puts shoes on the feet of the poor little ones. He cannot give werk to the idle father—idle not because he prefers to be, but because he cannot find anything to do. Santa Claus is sadly limited in his powers. So this club is going to supplement his work, and on Saturday afternoon the ac- counts of the club were cast up, and it was found that there was about $2,000 in hand in cash. This money Was divided up among the sections of the city in accordance with the probable needs, and the work of reliev- ing the distress will begin at once. But it Will not cease with Christmas. Indeed, the winter has been so open up to date that there is not any comparison between the suffering that now exists and that which will come later, when the snows and biiz- zards have struck the city. So this fund is to be husbanded some- what, and utilized as the necessities seem to demand. The fund would soon be ex- hausted if the contributions should cease now, and therefore the dollars ought to keep right on coming in over The Star’s counters. Every cent received will be ac- knowledged in these columns and put out into the field through the same agencies that were invoked on Saturday, to do as much good as possible. Applications were made today at The Star oifice by a good fany poor people for help. No goods or money or articles of any kind will be distributed from this point. erything is to be done through the principals of the schoois, together with the associated charities, and the money placed in their hands is to be spent as they Jeem best to meet the needs of each case that ts found. The list of contribuiors to the fund has not stopped short in its growth, but keeps getting longer and longer. It ought to be long enough to reach all over this page of Tne Star. Up to 1 o'clock today the list Was as follows: The Evening Star Company.. -$500.00 Jurors in Judge Bingham’s court...., 10.00 R. Ross Perry. « 5.00 Louls Mackall Weld. + 100 James E. Fitch. 5.00 A.

Policeman Anderson of the fourth pre- cinct had four colored boys before Judge Kimball this morning on a charge of va- grancy and suspicion. Their ages range be- tween twelve and sixteen years, and the officer said they have bad reputations. According to his information, the boys are members of a gang of juvenile thieves. They live in South Washington, but Satur- day night they were in the vicinity of the Center Market, and later they were found in the section where they live trying to sell oranges. When the officer arrested one of them he turned “informer,” and gave the names of all the members of the so- alled gang. One of them is known as Red Bill,” but he is in no way connected With the Georgetown negro who is known under this alias. Those who were caught gave their names as George Nelson, Isaiah Banks, Richard Jackson and Charles Craig. When Judge Kimball got the boys on the stand and questioned them some of them came near telling the truth, “Where did you get those oranges from the judge asked one of them. “Bought ‘em from a colored man.” “Do you know who he is?” “I know his face.” “How do you know he did not steal them?” “I asked him did he stole ’em, and he said n Another boy accused one of his com- panions with having stolen a piece of meat from a huckster's wagon and sold it to a cook-shop man. “How much did he get for it?” “Thirty cents.” . ‘And how much did he give you?” “Fifteen.” This story was corroborated by the others, but they all declared that they had bought the oranges, nearly a box of them, for fifty cents. Policeman Anderson said that one of the } boys said they had planned a burglary for Saturday night, but he arrested them be- fore they had time to carry out their plans. He had been told by citizens that the boys had stolen beer, coal oil and articles of every description. If they have been doing this, the judge said, they should be prosscuted for lar- ceny, and continued the case to get ad- ditional proof against them. AMUSEMENTS, The Brownies in Fairyland.—The array of youthful artists, musical and otherwise, selected from the pupils of the public schools for the production of Palmer Cox’s delightful cantata, ‘The Brownies in Fairy- Jand,” gave promise in Saturday's renearsal of a most charming entertainment for the children at the Academy next Thursday and Friday afternoons. Prof. Harry Whea- ton Howard, with full chorus and orches- tra, led the little singers through their musical numbers to his entire satisfaction, while Mr. David C. bangs, the stage di- rector, put on the last touches of stage “business.” There remains only a single full-dress rehearsal to bring the young amateurs up to a mark of excellence never before equaled in a children’s production in Washington.

Sold throughout the world, ROUGH ON RATS, George Specht Took m Deadly Dose Because He Was Tired of Life. George Specht, a youngaman well known among the theatrical employes of this city, and until recently engaged as a scene shift- er at Albaugh’s, died at the Emergency Hospital yesterday morning from the ef- fects of rough on rats, taken the night be- fore with suicidal imtent. Specht was of a high strung, nerveus aature, and since the death of his brather, Edward Specht of the National Theater,be had been drink- ing heavily to overcomeshis despondency. He lost his place for this reason, and some weeks ago his mother, who resides at No. i012 K street northwest, informed him that he must leave her house and take care of himself, as she could no longer support him in idleness. He then began to threaten suicide, and told many of his friends of this intention, Saturday night he entered a saloon on E street near 13th and told some of his as- sociates that he had taken rough on rats. He was laughed at, but when he became sickened by attempting to drink a giass of beer, his friends got frightened and search- ed him. A box half full of the poison was found in his pocket. A policeman was sent for, but before he arrived Specht broke away from two young men who were holding him and ran out of the sa- loon. A few minutes later the desperate youth, who had by this time become ill, met a close friend of his named Tucker Barker, and told him he had taken poison. Barker did not believe him, but took him around to Mrs. Barker's house, No. 519 13th street northwest, and put him to bed. Early yésterday morning Specht's agony became So great that the Barkers at last be- lieved in the poison story and notified the police. The sufferer was taken to Emer- gency Hospital and Dr, Kerr worked hard to save his life for over two hours, but the arsenic in the preparation had gotten be- yond the power of medical skill to con- trol end the young man died at the hour mentioned. Before he died he told Dr. Kerr he had grown tired of life. His moth- er arrived shortly after he passed away and her grief was pitiful. Coroner Ham- mett decided, upon learning the facts, that an inquest Was unnecessary. The body was taken to Wright's under- taking establishment, where funeral serv- ices will be held on Wednesday at 10 o'clock am. a a es ee ROYAL BAKING POWDE Absolutely Pure. ‘A cream of tartar baking pow- Ger.
