To the Editor of The Evening Star: I wish to call your attention to one ex- ssperating way in which the great lack of manners which at least one man in Wash- ington possesses, is manifested. Sunday evening my escort and I boarded a 1ith street car on the avenue and secured seats. ‘The car having gone a few blocks was rapidly filled with ladies, to one of whom, accompanied evidently by her husband, my escort gave his seat. In a few moments the man in the corner next said lady left the car, and in the twinkling of an eye the husband settled into the vacated space, leaving my escort to stand for the entire journey heme as a reward for his courtesy.

The feature of the evening was the presentation to the pastor, from the officers and teachers, of an immense stocking, In the tee of which was a pocketbook containing a handsome sum ef money. Presents were made by the teachers to their several classes, and each of the latter presented its teacher with an acceptable gift. ———— Charles Sumner Relief Corps. The officers of Charles Sumner Relief Corps were installed last night at their rooms, Grand Army Hall. Miss Clara T. Chase, past president of the corps, was detailed to install them.

Officer Madigan, who has charge of the prison room at the Police Court, was called from his post of duty this morning to make an explanation at police headquarters con- cerning a bill against the department for damage done to a Metropolitan street car by the prison van. Several days ago the ven was on its way to prison with a load of prisoners when the accident happened. The railroad company had sent the bill to several places and it finally reached the polfce department. Bat in light of the ex- planation made by the officer the bill will not be paid without a lawsuit. He explain- ed that the van was moving along the street in the direction of the jail when the car came from the rear of the vehicle and sustained the damage. The van is a heavy vehicle and a Metro- politan strect car drawn by horses is un- able to injure it. When the officer had made his explana- tion, he returned to court and started Judge Kimball's small procession of prisoners. There were only fifteen prisoners locked up and a number of these were strangers in the city. The first one called was James Simmons, who lives in this city, and the charge against him was disorderly conduct. It was an ordinary case of disorder and the usual $5 fine was imposed. “Will you give me until tomorrow to pay the fine?” the man asked. “I don’t give time any more,” the judge told him. “Judge,” said Simmons, “I have $3, and if you'll take that I'll pay the other $2 tomorrow.” “Who knows you?” the court asked. “I know that he’s a huckster and an or- derly man, generally,” arswered Baileft Kendig. “Then make the fine $3," said the judge to the clerk. “Pay your $3 and go,” he said to the man. Michael Devereaux, a stranger who had asked for lodgings at a police station, ap- peared at the rail, listened to the reading of a charge of vagrancy, and said “guilty.” “He was on Pennsylvania avenue last night begging,” said the prosecuting of- ficer. “Did you see him begging?” the judge asked. “Yes, sir.’ “Thirty days.” Different Kinds. James Willis, a respectably dressed col- ored man, and a roughly dressed white man named Lawrence Loving, were next called. The white man said he was guilty of vagrancy, and was mofe than willing to go dcwn, while the colored man was appar- ertly offended at the idea that he should be suspected of such an offense. “Leving came to the station last night,” said the officer, “and asked that he be sent cewn.” “Where's your home?” the judge asked the prisoner. “I have no home.” ‘How long did I give you when you were in court before?” “Ten days.” “And why didn’t you leave When you were released?" “I can’t travel, because I‘m so badly crip- pled.” ‘Thirty days. The colored man was next called for an explanation. He had said he was from Baltimore, and later he claimed Staunton, Va., as his hom: “TI came here,” he told the court, “to see my sister, but being unable to find her last night I went to the station and asked for lodging.” “Have you any money?” “No, your honor,”” he answered, “but if I don’t find my sister this morning I'll leave the city this afternoon.” He was released. Lively Crowd. William Sadler, a man who is said to have a wife and several children in East Washington, and Molly Russell, a woman who is known in South Washington alley seciety, were called upon to answer a charge of vagrancy, and they plead “not guilty.” “| suppose you know these people,” said the officer in the case. “There has been considerable fighting in Louse alley lately, and I understood that these people were engaged in it. Last night when I went there the man was at the front window, and when he saw me he ran.” ‘The officer also told the court that Rus- sell never goes near his wife and children. Judge Kimball -gave the man and his companion three months on the farm. ‘A man whose name was given as John Oldsin, & German, brought up the rear of the procession. The clerk read to him an information, charging that he was dis- orderly and profane in the Central Union Mission last night, and asked: “Are you guilty or not guilty?” “Certainly I'm guilty,” the prisoner re- sponded. “This man was drunk and disorderly in the mission Jast night,” said the officer, “and he Fad been put out of the place four times before I arrived there.” A fine of $10 was imposed, and the man went down. ——>—_. WHIRLED ARO Joseph Nash Has a Narrow Escape From Denth. What barely escaped being a fatal accl- dent occurred a few minutes before 12 o'clock last night in Convention Hall. The engineer of the electric light plant of the hall, Joseph E. Nash, accidentally per- mitted his clothing to be caught in a shaft of the engine. Realizing his predicament, Nash shouted to his fireman, Henry Cross, who was the only other person in the room at the time, to stop the engine. The un- fortunate man was whirled around by the shaft several times, his _head striking against the floor and wall at each revolu- tion. In a few seconds the engine was stopped, and then it was learned that all of Nash's clothing had been torn from his body. His nose was cut open and he had suffered a cut under the left eye and an- other on the head, while his shoulder and feet were crushed. The injured man was removed to Freedmen’s Hospital, where his wounds were properly attended to. Nash did not lose consciousness at any time. He is twenty-six years of age and unmarried. At one time he was an engi- neer on the steamer Wakefield, but has been employed at Convention Hall for six weeks past. His home is at 814 Sth street southeast. ‘D. —— Reception for Charity. A charity reception ard entertainment was held: last evening in Convertion Hall under the auspices of the Golden Circle, an organization of colored persons whose sole object is to aid the poor. Representative ‘Thomas B. Reed, Senators W. B. Allison and John W. Daniel, H. W. Blair, Freder- ick Douglass, Nathaniel McKay, B. K. Bruce, Representatives N. P. Haugen and George W. Murray and ex-Senator W. P. Kellogg had been invited to be present and address the audience, but owing to -he state of the weather and other reasons, Mr. Haugen was the only one who put in an appearance. ‘The attendance, too, was rather slim, but {t increased later in the evening when dancing began. The brief exercises were opened by W. Calvin Chase, who introduced John M. Langston as presiding officer. The latter made a short address, in which he explain- ed the reasons for the absence of the in- yited guests. Letters-of regret from Messrs. Reed and Daniel were read, as was a com- munication from William Pitt Kellogg, which was accompanied by a check. The hall was then turned over to the dancers, who held sway until 2 a.m. ‘The reception was under the management of the following officers of the Golden Circle: W. C. Martin, president; J. H. €oleman, first vice president; J. T. Allen, second vice president; H. F.’ Bond, secre- tary; M. E. Griffin, assistant secretary; R. H. ‘m3, financial secretary, and I. £. Duckett, treasurer. Refreshments were served during the evening, and music, fur- nished py a full bard. added to the pleas- ure of the occasion. —_-—__ Treat Your Boy!

Richard Mansfield de- lighted a large audience at Albaugh’s last night by his masterly interpretation of Baron Chevrial in “A Parisian Romance.” It was his presentation of this character that first brought him into public notice. He walked upon the stage in the part of the baron, an unknown actor, and the cur- tain fell upon a veritable triumph. He was congratulated by his associates in the cast, and the next morning all the New York papers gave him unstiuted praise for his re- markable work. That was the beginning of his fame, and he has steadily grown in public favor ever since. The ability of the actor was in him before that, but it had not been recognized, and “A Payisian Ro- mance” gave him the opportunity to dem- onstrate the stuff he was made of. It is not to be wondered that he still clings to the piece as one of the most effective in his repertoire. He played last night with all the cynicism that the character demanded and with that thorough attention to detail in costume, make-up and business that stamps him as an artist. His company fur- nished adequate support. Tonight Mr, Mansfield will appear in “Prince Karl,” and tomorrow afternoon there will be a 7 performance of “Arms and the jan. “The Private Secretary.’"—Gonzaga Col- lege Hall was well filled last night by an audience that gave every manifestation of approval at the performance by the Dramatic Club of the Young Men’s Catho- lic Club of Gillette's comedy, “The Private Secretary.” All the characters in the cast were well taken, and the fun in the piece was well brought out. Mr. F. A. Van Reuth, the president of the club, was sud- denly called upon to take the part of the Country Squire as a substitute for Mr. Wageaman, and he did it in a thoroughly acceptable manner. Mr. Harvey A. Cassi- dy made the most out of the title role, his professional experience being evidenced in kis acting. Miss Helen Lackaye sustained three distinct roles and gave to each a positive individuality. Quite a number of the Catholic clergy were present, and it is expected that more will attend tonight, when the piece will be repeated. Georgetown Orchestra.—The box sheet shows that the first concert this season cf the Georgetown Orchestra, which will take place at Metzerott Music Hall tomorrow night, will be listened to by a large au- dience. The program will be an interesting one, the selections being such as to please nearly every shade of musical taste. The assistants will be Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes, Miss Anita Cluss and Mr. John Porter Lawrence. Seats may be obtained at Metzerott’s music store. Living Whist.—rhe “Living Whist” which is to take place at Metzerott’s Hall next Saturday evening is exciting much interest in society. A number of the most promi- nent young ladies of Washington are {0 take part in the performance. A pack of cards is represented by fifty-two young men and girls; they are shuffled and ‘Uealt, Keeping time to the music of the Marine Band. The cards of the different suits are dressed in different colors, and as the pretty young girls and handsome men in their graceful costumes dance across the stage the scene is really beautiful. Each successive trick has a characteristic dance, and as the cards are played out they move to their places, keeping time to the music, and then the four cards dance a minuet, perhaps, or a quadrille. The re- hearsals have heen going on for some time, and the affair promises to be a great suc- cess. It is under the patronage of the most distinguished women in society. The beauty of the performance, and the merit of the charity for which it is given, the Young Women’s Christian Home, should recommend it to every one. The Sutro Sisters’ Recital—Rose and Ottilie Sutro are to appear at Metzerott’s Music Hall Thursday evening, January 10, in an ensemble piano recital. This will be a novelty to the musical public, as little of this work has been done in this country, although popular abroad. These young ladies are Americans, who, after meriting the notice of friends and musicians in their home, went abroad to complete their studies at the “Royal High School of Mu- sic’ in Berli: Prof. Heinrich Barth was the teacher under rapidly rose to distinction, being selected as often as two and three times a season to perform, with and without an orchestra, at the monthly public concerts of the in: stitution. In the summer of 1803 they graduated, receiving the official diploma of the Royal Academy of Arts, and the warmest praise of the entire faculty, who predicted for them a brilliant future. Since their return to this country they have re- ceived the highest compliments and indorse- whose tffition they monts of the press and critics. The Misses Sutro have at their command the entire repertcire of duets for two pianos, with and without orchestra, confining themselves strictly to original compositions and ar- Trangements by the composers, rejecting all those made by others. They will be as- sisted on this occasion by Miss Katherine Willard, mezzo soprano. Mi: Willard needs no introduction to Washington; her charming voice has been often heard in social circles. Seats are now on sale at Metzerett's. — Jurors Excused In Circuit Court No. 1 yesterday Judge Bradley excused James H. Stevenson, Wm. Reiser, Wm. D. Buckley and Geo. W. Har- rington from jury service, and directed the clerk to draw the names of eight ex- tra talesmen to complete the jury. In Cir- cuit Court No. 2 Chief Justice Bingham excused W. F.

C. N. G.), died at his residence, 26 H street northeast, Wednesday morning at 12:30 o'clock. Mr. Walsh had been a member of the Emmets for the past ten years, he having been one of its organizers. He had served the cempany in the different grades of private, corporal, sergeant and first sergeant, and in the latter position was a great assistance to the company, he having instructed the boys in all the minor details that go to make up good soldiers. Besides his meritorious service in the Em- iets, he had also served fourteen years in the United States marines. He was a gen- eral favorite with all who came in contact with him, and especially among the mem- bers of the company to which he belonged. The funeral will take place Friday even- ing at 2 o'clock, and the company will at- tend in a body. —_—_—_ Broke His Leg. The horse of Mounted Officer Thomas M. Sullivan slipped on the ice in front of the Tremont House this morning shortly after 7 o'clock and fell upon the officer, break- ing the latter's right leg in two places and dislocating the ankle.

AMATEUR J@URNALISTS. The Capital City Cldb Holds an Enter- taining Medting. The Capital City Chab ef Amateur Jour- nalists held its last meeting at the resi- dence of the Misses Chandlee. Owing to the absence of the »pregident and vice president, Mr. Edwim Smith was called upon to preside as chairman. Several new members were enrolled, «which gave evi- dence of increased imterest in the club. Many affairs relating to the organization were discussed and several committees formed, especially one to busy itself in the coming campaign. It was with much regret that the resiggation of the treas- urer, Mr. Wilbur Underwood, was accept- ed, and Mr. John Hall was elected in his place. After the business meeting a program, both literary and musical, was prepared for the amusement of the club. Mr. Hartt talked on the illustrations in’ the maga- zines, especially noting how the light and shade told so much. He spoke particu- larly of the picture of Evangeline and how its portrayal made him have a higher respect and admiration for the poet. The eyes and expression of the face told of kindness, of love, of womanhood. In fact, it was to him the type of a true womar.. Miss Grace Chandlee spoke on an article about flowers, which told why certain flowers painted by the Japanese are al- ways the same. This is due to the fact that although the first flower was taken from nature, yet all the other productions of this same flower are copied from the first painting, for the Japanese are very fond of following the rules and forms of their forefathers. In this way they con- tinue to exaggerate their mistakes instead of correcting them. Often this set rule will be found in their landscapes, in which they use as few lines as possible. The secretary, Sarah Willard Howe, read an origina) story, entitled “The Pumpkin Pie,” which has just been published in a western paper, and which was the prize story of the Christmas number. Mr. Hopkins, a member of the club, play- ed a violin solo, with Miss Chandlee as accempanist. Miss Ethel Armes and Miss Penning favored the club with recitations Which were all the more appreciated be- cause they were called upon without any preparation. The entire program was thoroughly enjoyed, and all who partici- pated received hearty applause. The even. ing closed with a “conversation gam which was both amusing and pleasing. see A Doublé Installation. As announced in The Star yesterday af- ternoon, the officers of Lincoln Post, No. 3, G. A. R., and of the Woman’s Relief Corps, auxiliary to the post, elected to serve during the present year, were in- stalled last night at Grand Army Hall. Mrs. J. Emma Lvans, past president of the relief corps, acted as installing officer for that organization. Mrs. Sarah Poynton, the retiring conductor, performed the du- ties of her office for the last time in pre- senting the candidates for installation. Prayer by the retiring chaplain, Mrs. Rose, preceded the ceremonies. At their conclusion Mrs. Rose, on behalf of the members of the corps, presented Mrs. Nan- nie G. Davis, the retiring president, with a handsome piano lamp, as a token of their esteem and appreciation of her serv- ices. Commander Holmes also presented her with a corps badge in gold, from the members of Lincoln Post. Tne installation of tha cfficers of Lin- coln Post followed. J. M. Cutts, who had been appointed assistant mustering of- ficer by the department commander, acted as installing cfficer. S. A. Campbell, the re-elected officer of the day, escorted the candidates for installation. After the in- stalling officer had delivered to the newly- elected commander the eharter and ritual cf the post, the gavel and countersign for the year, Junior Vice Commander John Bresnahan, cn behalf of the post, pre- sented the retiring commander, James N.

The severe change in the weather during. the past week—from Indian summer tem- perature to arctic cold—was followed by an increase in the mortality of the city as compared with the previous week. The cause for this increase is general. With the exception of the smallpox cases now under treatment and either isolated or in quaran- tine, there is no epidemic disease prevalent. The slight increase in the deaths from acute lung diseases—of which there were nineteen—is not above the usual average for this season of the year. Like influences undoubtedly resulted in a rise in the rate of mortality from brain and kidney dis- eases. Diphtheria and scarlet fever are at a minimum, and the two deaths only from the former indicate that it does not exist in a formidable degree. The death rate for the total population was 20.8 as against the annual mean of 23.2, thus showing that the health of the city is that much better than oe general average. The total deaths were Se ee Mgr. Satolli’s New Secretary. Rev. Dr. Frederick Z.
