Bridget Laven, who ts employed as a do- mestic at the “Carleton,” was given a pre- liminary hearing on a charge of theft be- fore Judge Miller yesterday. It was charg- ed that she stole $4 from G. L. Tollman, a member of the Francis Wilson company. The man who lost the money was stopping at the “Carleton,” and Bridget put his room in order. While in there she noticed the money, and called the attention of the hetel owner to it. She said she thought it was theater money. The proof showed that the key was left in the door and that ral persons had access to the room. said she had been employed in two families for nine years, and she had not stolen anything in her life. Judge Miller could find no proof to show that the young woman had taken the mon- ey and acquitted her. —_— > — Claims Damages.

CREATES CONSTERNATION The Commissioners’ Order Regarding Side- walk Obstructions. What It is Based on and What an Application Will Mean—On Louisiana Avenue. The order of the Commissioners directing the major and superintendent of police to remove all hcotblacks and others who oc- cupy the public streets in violation of law, a@s published in yesterday's Star, fell like a bombshell on the several hundred per- sons whom the order will affect. The mer- chants who do business on the sidewalk in front of the places of business on Louisiana avenue between 9th and 10th streets were especially affected. Several times during the past few years the sidewalk merchants have been in danger of losing their hold on the sidewalks, and it has only been a few months since warrants were issued for a rumber of the merchants and were after- ward nolle prossed. These warrants, it is said, were issued against the occupants of the Louisiana avenue sidewalk, because of scme trouble about the arrangement of their stands or coverings. These stands on the sidewalk are permanent structures, but at the time mentioned the cases were not prosecuted. The removal of these stands meant a large decrease in the revenue of the owners of the buildings, and so the merchants have beea permitted to use the sidewalk since that time without fear of mc lestation, An Order Issued. Just one month ago the Commissioners passed an order amending the police reg- ulations so as to prevent obstructions of various kinds, covering about the same ground as that covered by the building regulations. This regulation prohibits the erection of signs against trees, lamp posts, poles or other objects. Signs placed upon houses must be erected under permit, and no sign is permitted to extend more than forty-two inches beyond the building line. Under this regulation the construction of awnings and location of carriage steps are regulated, and provision is made for other things in the nature of obstructions. Judge Cox's Ruling. In the case of the District against George Munroe, charged with keeping a booth on the sidewa!tk, Judge Cox rendered a de- cision against the defendant. The law of 1856, an act of Congress, pro- vides that “no cpen space, reservation or other public ground in the city of Wash ington, uor any portion of the public streets or avenues in said city, shall be o cupied by any private person, or for any private purpose whatever.” This, Judge Cox said, is substantially re- peated in other acts. “In contemplation of law,” Judge Cox said, “the street includes the whole space between building lines, and the title to the streets is vested in the United States.” Further on in the covrse of his decision Judge Cox said: 3 shape of an obstruction, is intended to re- main permanently upon a part of the street, and to be used by the owner exclusively for bis own private purpose, comes within the description of an occupation which is inhib- ited by the act of Congrcss and the ordi- nance of 1862." Under this decision it is said by some at- torneys, that the Commissioners have no power to permit obstructions between the building lines. This decision, however, has no bearing on the temporary occupancy of the sidewalk by merchants in the transacticn of their legitimate business, and the police r la- tions make ample provisions for such busi- ness. Possible Resistance. It 1s possible that the merchants on Louisiana avenue will contest the matter when the police proceeds ¢gainst them, al- though most of them know of Judge Cox's decision and fear a trial would end the same as did the Munroe case, but the de- lay pending the decision would perhaps re- sult in an extension of time and give them the use of the streets that much longer. If these merchants are compelled to re- meve, some of them, it is said, will render assistance to the police, or rather see that the law is generally enforced in all sec- tions. pee es HANSBROUGH'’S DEATH. MRS. The Wife of a Senator Succumbs to ; Pneumonia. Mrs. Josephine O. Hansbrough, the wife of the senior Senator from North Dakota, died yesterday afternoon in her apartments at the Cochran. The immediate cause of death was pneumonia, and she had been ill only about a week. Mrs. Hansbrough was about forty-two years of age, and was the daughter of James Orr of Newburg, N. Y., where her father still resides. Senator Hansbrough first met her in California, where she was visiting when he resided in that state, and they were married in Chicago about fift- teen years ago She leaves no children. Several years ago Mrs. Hansbrough was in bad health, and last winter she was compelled to go to New York for medical treatment. Her recovery seemed to be complete, but during the holidays she con- tracted a cold, which rapidly developed into pneumonia, and from then she sank rapidly until the end came. She was a de- voted wife and helpmeet, and always took the greatest interest in her husband's aims and ambitions and in his political aspira- tions. It is generally admitted that during the contest of 1891, in which Mr. Hans- brough was elected to the Senate, she ex- erted a powerful influence in her husband's behalf. ‘The funeral services will be held in the parlors of the Cochran this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Randolph H. McKim of the Church of the iphany. The remains will be taken to Wappinger Falls, N. ¥., at 6:20 this even- ing fur interment in Mr. Orr's lot, in ac- cordance with the request of himself and daughter. ——-—— Who Is Responsible? To the Editor of The Evening Star: E. F. Hort's question in Saturday's issue of your paper is easily answered. No one is responsible. “Responsible” \ means an- swerable to some cne, and the heads of our government departments are answerable to no one. And the same is pfactically true of the subordinate heads. Webster de- fines “responsible” as “accountable, liable to be called upon to answer.” Now, no chief of bureau or effice is in the least “lia- ble te”be called upon to answer’ for what Mr. Hort alludes to. While there are certain general and broad rules, fixed by the head of the de- partment (a cabinet officer), each subordi- rate official has considerable latitude in the interpretation and enforcement of these rules, and in matters of minor details and interior administration he conducts his own office and manages the men under him in his own way. One official may object when a clerk leans back in his chair to rest, and another may disregard a clerk's absence from the room for aa hour or more. It all depends upon the nature of the official. s for Mr. Hort’s suggestion of a com- plaint, or an investigation by citizen either is absurd. Such a self-constitute body of citizen investigators would not get le the entrance decor of any And should a clerk be fool- enough to attempt to complain of jor to a still higher official, he y dificult to secure an audience with any greater functionary than the nj ger who guards the aforesaid higher official's door. His com- flaint would thus be nipped in the bud, but if, to continue the metaphor, it should chance to sprout and grow, its fruit would turn to ashes in the mouth of the unfortu- rate employe who planted it. If an employe considers that he is over- worked or illtreated he is perfectly at lib- erty to resign and try to find better treat- ment, shorter hours and as good pay ou side. There is rarely any difficulty in fill- ing vacancies in government offices. “CHIEF OF DIVISION.” aaa Mile. Zaun, 56 West 26th street, New York, will exhibit at the Arlington Hotel, Parlor A, Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan- uary 15 and 16, Paris importations of cos- tumes and wraps for evening, street, car- riage and theater wear. The ladies of Washington are respectfully invited to call and inspect. . AMUSEMENTS. Albaugh’s.— Last night was Lapgtry night at Albaugh’s, and there was a great audience in quantity and quality to see the Jersey Lily Llcom as “Esther Sandraz,” the titular character in a workover from Belot by Mr. Sydney Grundy. And here it may be said that either Belot cr Grundy is at fault, for the play is weak and ineffectual. Effervescent would be the better definition Probably, in the sense that it works along through each act without any appreciable evidence of life, except an occasional bub- ble rising to the surface, until the climax is reached, when it goes off with a rush that almost takes away the breath of the audience. A very powerful company might give the play a temporarily enduring exist- ence, but the ordinary human endeavor cannot immortalize it. So much for the play in general. In particular, Mrs. Lang- try is Esther Sandraz, who loves and is loved by Henri Vandelle (Mr. Frank H. Fenton), who in turn casts his mistress aside and marries Henriette (Miss beatrice Selwyn), simply for her money, her parents arrarging the match. She in her turn loves Olivier Deschamps (Mr. Oscar Adyc). After Vandelle marries, Deschamps applies to him for a position as superintendent of his quarries, not knowing who his wife was, and later Esther Sancraz applies for the pesition of companion to Mme. Vandelic, 1 response to an advertisement. One would naturally think that when these two posi- filled something is going to hap- it does, but not as expected. Deschamps, who is a good young man, and who takes the place because he is forced to do so to protect his old sweet- heart, prevails apon isther, who holds her place merely to terture her old lover, to leave with him, and just as they are about to get out Vendelie, thinking it is his wife who is eleping, appears with a revolver, and shoots at the ccuple, killing Esther. When he discovers what he has done he runs off to kill himself, leaving Deschamps and Henrietta to the curtain. This series of incidents ought to make a powerful play, but Mr. Grundy hasn't made itso. In the lighter parts, noticeable in the secend act, Mrs. Langtry’s work is ticularly attractive, and would be so even if she were not a really beautiful woman. That she has greatly improved during her stage oxperience is evident in all her work, but it can hardly be said that her dramati ability lies along the lines of the strongly emotioral. Of the other players the str est parts Were taken and well done by Mr Adye and Miss Selwyn, while the comedy was very accep’ ed by Mr. J. W. Piggott and Miss Ethel Hope, as M and Mme. Foureanade. “A Happy Pair with Mrs. Largtry and Mr. Lovell as \ and Mrs. Horeyicn, closed the perform- ance, where again Mrs. Langtry’s power in the pleasant off-hand style of acting had an opportunity of development. ing was beyond adverse criticism, verhaps, by envious fair ones who Her gown- except, gown thomselve he does. Sandraz” again tonight. New Natioral Theater.—Mr. Sydney Gr given the public many good plays, but his fame is likely to hinge itself very largely upon “Sowing the Wind,” which was preduced last night in the Sin- ished manner which a Frohman organiza- tion almost invariably attains. The p wright moralizes in this work, but it is not done in the conventional and long-winded phrases that make the suggestion of mor- alizing at once distasteful. e point is made strongly and brilliantly by the per- formance as a whole; the central idea— that of the widely different standards by which the misdeeds of men and women are judged, is clearly impressed, the pure dramatic element in the interest being : the same time skilifully preserv play is bold in its thought, but and judicious in its method ‘of expr The players are uniformly efficient and the production is characterized by the even excellence which is so gratifying, not to say essential, in a legitimate production of the higher type. Mr. J. H. Gilmour and Miss Mary Hampton did full justice to the important roles intri 1 to them. lemy.—“The Hustle drew the laughs cut of a good audience the Academy last night and kept on drawing until the curtain went down on the last act. “The Hustler” is a variety olla drida, th the outline of a plot, : whcele grist of specialties in music, and funry business by skillfyl artists.

There are many clever h and sharp sayings. all through the per- formance, and they have a tonic quality which stimulates the audience continually. Butler's Bijou Theater.—A real comedy drama, with just enough villainy, heroism and fun combined to please would be a fair criticism ot “True Irish Hearts,"which fs now filling a week’s engagement at the Bijou.

Again tonight. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater. — Kernan’s Theater was crowded last night, and it is but just to say that the show deserved it. ‘The Irwin brothers have the reputation of being first-class caterers, and the bill they presented last night was pleasing in all re- spects. It is a succession of surprises throughout, and the audience ts kept on the qui vive all the time. The two Amer- fean Macs are funnier than ever. Luigi Del Oro gave a finished performance upon musical instruments, and Benetto and Gan- non tw themselves into any number of peculiar shapes. The National Trio jumped into popularity by their clever ren- dition of popular songs, and Carr and Jor- dan contributed an original sketch. The feature of the entertainment was John White's trick mules, which cut capers and proved themselves very intelligent ani- mals. Again tonight. ‘The Philharmonic Club.—Among the chief attractions at the concert of the Philhar- monic Club next Thursday is to be con- sidered the appearance of Mr. Victor Herbert as ‘cello soloist. He is perhaps the most interesting and versatile genius be- fore the public. A .grandson of Samuel Lover, the famcus Irish author of “Handy Andy,” he is also a composer of unusual excellence. Lesides his delightful songs, orchestral compositions and an oratorio, he has composed “Prince Ananias,” the opera which has just been given titty consecutive performances at the Broad* ay Theater by the Bostonians, and which will be heard in this city in March. He fs now at work on a one-act grand opera for Mme. Melba. ‘As conductor he has distinguished himself, in both hemispheres. ‘Ihe fact that he has taken the leadership of Gilmore’s famous band and maintained the popularity of that organization is a high tribute to Mr. Herbert's skill. ‘The other participants in the concert, Miss Lucia Nola, Miss Mary Helen Howe, Mr. Herman Rakemann and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Lent, furnish addi- tional proof that this last concert of the Philharmonte Club will be one of the most brilliant events of the musical season, and Metzerott Music Hail should be filied to overfiowing.
