Yesterday afternoon the Court of Ap- peals in the matter of the contest over the will of the late Dr. Thomas W. Wise, who died February 17, 1892, handed down a de- cision affirming the decision of the court below The will was made two days previ- ous to the death of the deceased, and the fssues raised thereon were twice tried be- low. Each time the will was declared to be void, but the court directed the jury that there was no evidence of fraud or undue in- fluence, the question turning upon the tes- tamentary capacity of the testator. The eaveators were James D. Wise and Mary L. Dawson, and the caveatees Robert W. Hardy and J. Melvin Lamb. —_ Women Beookbinders Organize. President W. B. Hyde of the International Brotherhood of Bookbinders, assisted by Becretary Samuel J.

IN THE POLICE COURT Prisoners Who Had to Answer to Charges Filed Against Them. Pleas 4 Statements Made to the Court—The Punishment Inflicted in Various Cases. “I'm guilty of the charge,” answered an elderly man named George W. Hawkins when arraigned before Judge Kimball this morning on a charge of disorderly con- duct, “but,” he added, “I would like to make a statement.” “ “What is it?” the court asked him. “Judge,” said the man, who had not fully recovered from the effects of strong drink, “I met a friend last night; an old soldier friend, whom I had not seen for twenty years. And, judge, he’s an old friend, and I hadn't seen him for twenty years; and he had just finished up his business. And, judge, as I hadn’t seen him for twenty years, and he’s an old friend, I took something to drink with him.” “When were you last. arrested?’ judge asked him. “More than a year ago,” he answered. Then the old man said it had been more than three years and finally he said it was five. : “Does anybody here know you?” the judge asked. “I de replied Officer Sutton. ‘What do you know about him?” ‘Only that I've seen him drunk several times.” Judge Kimball was inclined to let the prisoner go, but before doing so he called for a statement from Policeman Heller, who arrested him. “The old man was drunk and disorderly nd was asking for money for drinks at 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue,” said Officer Heller. “Being unable to get him to go home I arrested him and then he attempted to use his cane on me. “You will have to pay the fine,” the judge said. ‘But I don’t remember what I said or Gid,” interrupted Hawkins. “You shculd have gone home when the officer gave you good advice,” said the judge. “Five dollars or fifteen days.” Suspicious Characters. A good-looking boy, whose name was given as Edward H. Fitzgerald, was in the toils as a suspicious character, and he said “Not guilty.” The only witness against him w: De- tective Horne, who told of the boy’s con- nection with alleged worthless checks. “Fitzgerald has a wounded foot,” he said, “and several days ago, when he cailed on Dr. Bradford, he gave him a worthless check for $20 to get cashed and borrowed $1.25. He also attempted to pass a check for $5 at Minster’s store. When taken to headquarters he said he was a friend of Congressman McCleary.” “Do you want to say anything?” the prisoner was asked. “Yes, sir,” he answered. “Where did you get this check?” “From a man named Barridy.” “Where is he?” “I don’t know. I saw him over at the race track and he gave me this check.” ‘For what?’ knew him in St. Louis and he owed me the #0. “Have you any friends in this city?” “Congressman McCleary of Minnesota Is my friend.” “But he is out of the city now,” inter- rupted the officer. He was required to give security or go down. William H. Simpson, a young man, was next in line, and he, too, was charged with suspicion. “He is one of Fitzgerald's pals,” said Po- liceman Sutton. He loafs about some of the hotels most of his time and also goes over to the races.” Simpson admitted that he had attended the races and said he was a bartender by occupation. He made a statement concern- ing his movements during the time he has lived here, and Judge Kimball, after ad- vising him to keep away from the races, released him on his personal bonds. Irsey Thomas and Lay Hicks, colored boys, appeared at the prison rail and said uilty.” “What were they doing?” the court asked. “Shooting crap in Jackson Hall alley,” re- plied the policeman. “Ten dollars or seventy days each. Claimed She Had Reformed. When Lizzie Lancaster of Willow Tree alley was called she pretended that she had reformed. “I don’t cuss no more,” she said. liceman Barry knows that’s true.” “She was cussin’ and swearing,” said a colored witness, “and she kept us up all night.” “Did she use good or bad language?” “Both.” Policeman Barry failed to corroborate the woman's statement, and she was fined §5 or fifteen days. Henry Taylor, colored, was fined $5 or fifteen days for being disorderly in a church. Caleb Washington was arrested because it was supected that he had violated the policy law. ‘The suspicion, according to the proof, was not well founded, and he was dismissed. Simon Sendwoke was given five days for vagrancy. He is a foreigner and has no home. Emeline Pollock plead guilty to a charge of vagrancy and went down for thirty days. —_—s—_ “The Single Tax Park.” To the Editor of The Evening Star: = The amendment of Peyton of Illinois (who probably, at that time, had never heard of the “single tax’’), to pay for the “Rock Creek Park” by taxing away the in- creased value of adjacent land produced thereby, has made the same known to single taxers of the Herry George school as the “Single Tax Park.” As a patron of The Star for years, and consequently a living witness to its sense of justice in the administration of puplic affairs, and as a taxpayer in close prox- imity to the park, I feel as if I was entitled to a respectful public hearing through The Star against all special systems of taxation as wrong and unfair to those who pay the tax. I have taken no part in the public demon- strations against the injustice of the plan proposed, nor do I expect to, except :o set people to thinking for their future good, for I am willing to pay my fairly appor- tioned share of any tax levied exclusively upon land values, even by a wrong, bun- gling and stupid system, because I believe land values taxation to be the best for the general community in that it is the most economic, righteous and least burdensome idea of taxation ever yet conceived for the support of government. The general principle of economics that all honestly expended public moneys for public needs are reflected back to the peo- ple, in the last analysis, in the market value of land is sound and irrefragable in logic, id with scarcely an exception to the rule; but to attefnpt to define such values in any specific case is abeut as diffi- cult as to attempt to ascertain the per- centage of rent and taxes involved in the price of a needle, owing to its extended ramitications. Such a system of taxation to be just must be general, otherwise it be- comes often a double rather than a single tax to one, while others escape. In fact, it might be very preper to designate such legislation as the fool end of the single tax. Althougk this will probably be the sec- ond time in this lecality that I have been double taxed by this pernicious system of levying taxes upon abutting property, in- stead of by a general plan, I am glad of it, because it is an object lesson, and the ex- perience and reflections of taxpayers thus mulcted may lead them to discover that some lands remote, on railway lines, in car- riage riding communities, &c., are more en- hanced in value by the park’s existence than much of the lands immediately ad- Joining.

Sans Gene” made her first appearance in America, and within a week grew to a glorious young womanhood. ‘Then she went out into the world, and now returns to us almost mature, and with a grace and perfection which charm all be- holders. Miss Kathryn Kidder, with more than the usual courage of woman, took this play as her own, risking all in.it, arid it is more than gratifying that the results have justified her business and artistic sagacity. At its first presentation, her manager, Mr. Pitou, excelled himself in the richness of the settings and the perfection and accuracy of detail, and with a superior cast, including Miss Kidder in the title role, Mr. Cook a3 Napoleon, Mr. Russel as Le- tebvre, Mr. Hackett as de Neipperg, Mr. Shaw as Fouche, Mr. Plunkett as’ Des- preaux and others no less meritorious, though subordinate, it was made possible to bring the play to an unusually high degree of dramatic perfection. The per- fermance last night, attended by a great audience, showed the benefit of its month or more of praciice, and whatever newness may bave been observed during the first week has almost, if not entirely, disap- Peared, leaving a complete and rounded production that pleases no less in the author's conception of the characters of the play than by the intelligent interpre- tation of them by the players. The thous- ands of friends “Mme. Sans Gene” made during the first engagement have been augmented by other thousands, and the second week in Washington will be greater than the first. National Theater.—One of the compara- tively few theatrical occasions that can be called noteworthy is the appearance of Francis Wilson in comic opera.While chere are many comic operas, many extrava- ganzas and many farce comedies, one or two organizations stand forth unchalleng- ed as the representatives of what is really entitled to intelligent consideration. It is Mr. Wilson’s good fortune—or perhaps it were more just to say his reward for an industrious exercise of energy and abulity- to be recognized as distinctly a leader the domain of lyric humor. In his an- nouncements he promises comic opera pure and simple. He shuns the temptation to disarm criticism by presenting his operas under the apologetic titles of “extrava- ganza” or “burlesque.” His methods are mainly legitimate, and wnen he essays horse play it is as a concession, and not as a piece de resistance. “The Devil's Depu- ty” is an adaptation which tells a coherent story and develops sitvations possessing both dramatic interest and the elements of comedy. The music, by Jakobowski, is not unworthy of that composer's reputation. It is substantial in its themes, and, to a great extent, original in treatment. The stuttering song, which Mr. Wilson sings, is a gem in its way, and the ballad rendered by Rhys Thomas in the second act is sub- stantial in its character and pleasing to the ear. Lulu Glaser as a soubrette made a good impre sion to start with and im- reves on acquaintance. She made the role of Elverine, the betrothed of ihe sim- ple innkeeper, impersonated by Mr. Wilson, cne of the most attractive of the cast. C. Miron, the basso, displayed an excellent voice to advantage and gave a spirited por- trayal of the gruff military man, ani Jose- phine Knapp was sprightly and agreeable as his wife. The performance is, it is al- most needless to remark, splendidly mount- ed. The costuming is rich to the degree of gorgeousness, and the scenery beautiful without any relapse into bizarre @xtrava- gances. The scene representing a moun- tain inn in Hesse, then showing the park of the palace,and the last showing that immediate surroundings of the palace,were splendid specimens of stage settin: But the audience is, after all, the most important feature of any performance. The reception given this opera last night was a complete refutation of the old contention that legitimate effects In comic opera are not universally acceptable. The lower por tion of the house showed unmistakable ap preciation, and the gods on high bestowed a vociferous benediction. At the close of the second act Mr. Wilson was called be- fore the curtain four times, but modestiy resisted the pressure brought to bear on him to make a speech. Academy.—Mr. Wm. Hoey, classically known as “Old Hoss, Bill Hoey,” with Mr. Jcbn ©. Rice on the side, appeared at the Academy iast night in a musical farce-com- edy called “The Flains,” which title is an abbreviation of jamingo,” the surname of Mr. Rice ard Mr. Hoey, who are broth- ers in the very diapkanous plot, which is filled out with a great number of excellent specialties in song and dance. ‘The house was one of the largest of the season, and when Mr. Hoey appeared the applause was tumultuous, and it was more or less so ail through the play. Mr. Rice, in his Airy Fairy Lillian manner,very felicitously con- trasts the more muscular type of Mr. Hoey’s comedy, and the combined effect is a pronounced success. Of course, the play is not quite werthy of a Sardou or a How- ard, nor in music quite up to the Gilbert and Sullivan standard, but it goes with a rush, and that is what they have it for. Among the specialties, Miss Simpson's piano playing, the eccentric dancing of the Merilees sisters, the pas de deux of Mr. Rice and Miss Merilees, the quimtet chorus, the negro dancing of Wiilie Hersey, the solo of Mr. Renwick, Mr. Hoey’s va- rious feature antics were received with great favor. In the third act the living pictures in caricature were very funny. Gen. Wallace's Lecture.—Those who went to Metzerott Hall last night were disap- pointed in not hearing Gen. Lew Wallace read selections from “Ben Hur” or his “Prince of India.” Geg. Wallace desired the gathering to select a topic for the lec- ture, and mentioned several which it would be convenient for him to discuss. ‘Turkey and the Turks” was chosen by one lady, and he selected that. He opened with an expression of his disbelief of the reports that the atrocities in Armenia had been in- spired by the ruler of Turkey. He spoke of the sultan as a humane man, far from a bigot or imbecile. Gen. Wallace also warm- ly defended the character of the Turkish people, and related much of his experience while a United States minister to that country. Boston Symphony Orchestra.--The Bos- ton Symphony Orchestra will give its third concert at Metzerott Music Hall this even- ing. The program will be made up entire- ly of excerpts from the music dramas of Richard Wagner, given in chronological order. The beauties of these great operas will be fully exempliticd at the hands of tris splendid organization, and this con- cert will afford a rare opportunity of hear- ing an adequate performance of many of the gems from these immortal works. The vocal numbers will be sung by Miss Elsa Kutscherra, prima donna soprano from the Royal Opera, Dresden, and Mr. Anton Schott. The program, which has already been given, includes selections from "Ri- enzi,” ‘“‘Tannhaeuser,” “Flying Dutch- man,” Lohengrin, “Meistersinger, “Rheingold,” “Die Walkure,” “Siegfried and “Gotterdammerung.” Odd_ Fellows’ Hall.—Prof. Carpenter's second week at Odd Fellows’ Hall opened with a large audience and all enjoyed his lectures upon hynotism. The experiments introduced were interesting and most of them furnished a great amount of amuse- ment. Willard Hall.—Tomorrow evening the c. T. M. Dramatic Club of Columbian University will present “A Scrap of Pa- per.” The members of the club are all good amateurs and some of them display unusual dramatic ability. An excellent performance is anticipated. Universalist Church.—Tomorrow evening there will be a concert at the Universalist Church by Mr. Arthur D. Mayo and Mr. Perry B. Turpin. Mr. Mayo is a pianist cf more than ordinary ability and the numbers he has selected will present him Rheumatism Cannot be cured with Iniments or other outward applications.

Mr. Turpin is reédgnized as one of the best tenorstin the District, and he will sing some somgs by Franz, a com- poser whose works ape too seldom heard in this city. Children’s Colonial Ball+-The pupils of Misses Minnie and May Hawke will give a children’s colonial ball «at the National Rifles’ Hall on Fridey evening. During the evening the minuet will be danced by forty-eight children inicourt costume, and an exhibition of faney dancing will be given by the more. accomplished pupils. After 10 there will be genefal dancing. Butler's Bijou Theater.—Probably the best performance seen at the Bijou this season cpened for a week's engagement last night. It is “A Flag of Truce,”5and this is the first time it has been seen,in this city at a popular priced house. Not only is the per- formance good.: but the interpreting com- pany fs far above the average, and con- tains several people who have already made a name for themselves in the theat- rical world. The play itself 1s strong, and the dialogue bright and forcible. There is a well detined and at the same time con- sistent plot, easily followed. The costuming and stage setting are both well done, and the general effect is good. Again tonight. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The Rentz Santley Burlesquers have always been fa- vorites in Washington, and as a conse- quence Kernan’s was crowded last night to witness the opening of a week's engage- ment there. The company is the best Man- ager Leavitt hus had out for many years, and every one was pleased with the enter- tainment presented. An original comedy burletta, entitled “A Shakespearean Carni- val,” opened the show and proves a goad medium for introducing a score of shapely maidens and gay burlesquers. The speciai- ties are all goud, and the living pictures ex- quisite bits of realism. Charles Lawlor made a hit with his character singing, and Merrit and Welch proved clever acrobats. Another burlesque, entitled “Venus and Apollo Up to Date,” closed the show. Again tonight. JACKSON DAY CELEBRATION. The Meeting Under the Auspices of the Interstate Democratic Association The Interstate Democratic Association celebrated Jackson day last evening by an ertertainment at the National Rifles’ Hall, attended by about three hundred people. The exercises began at 8:30, with a brief address by President Van Matre, who used a gavel mude of hickory cut from a spot near the grave of Jackson. Col. B. F. Clay- ton read a yaper descriptive of the origin, character and purpose of the association, in which he declared that the association means to work for suffrage in the Dis- trict. He added that the members were working to establish themselves into a per- manent organization, with a handsome club house. E Senator McLaurin of Mississippi read an address upon the character of Andrew Jaekson, comparing his democracy with that of later days. He painted a bright picture for the democracy and gave it as his belief that the party would be fully triumphant in 1806. Representative Wil- ms of Mississippi followed with a witty speech, In which he scored the President and made complimentary allusions to Sen- ator Hill that were vociferously applauded. Mr. Seely of Ohio read the credentials of his father as an elector from Ohio, one of those who voted for Jaekson for President. These exercises were followed by a pro- gram of musical numbers, in which parts were taken by Misses Blanche Mattingly, Pauline Whitaker, Katie Holloran, Marion F. Johnson, Letitia E. Eliott, Jennie Glen- ran, Grace W. Jones and C. V. Kidwell and Messrs. Al. Fennell, James Nolan, J. S. Graves, A. BE. Delevigne; Thos. F, Mc- Nulty, Gus. Riedell and G. Sargent Elliott; and the members of the Olmo Banjo and Mandolin Club, A. V. Holmes, director. The stage was handsomely draped with American fiags, with two. portraits «nd a brenze bust of Gen. Jackson, loaned by Mr. James F. Norris, occupying prominent posi- tions. > Sunday Schoet Orgnniaed. A Sunday school was organized at Det Ray, Va., Sunday afternoon, with I.

Meeting of the Local Chapter and ra Election of Officers. At the last regular meeting of the Wash- ington Chapter, American Institute of Architects, there was an interesting col- lection of drawings on exhibition—a set of working drawings of the fine arts building of the world’s Columbian exhibition, 1893. These drawings illustrated all the details of construction and ornamentation and also the method of reproducing working draw- ings which is in vogue in Chicago. The drawings are all made on brown paper with hectograph inks, from which about one hundred copies may be made. These copies reproduced all the original colors of the original. At the same meeting officers were elected for the ensuing year: Robert Stead, presi- dent; J. C. Hornblower, vice president; Glenn Brown, secretary; C. A. Didden, treasurer; J. R. Marshall, J. G.
