Judge Hagner has dismissed the suft tn- stituted several months ago by the Wash- ington Homeopathic Soctety against the National Homeopathic Medical College, to restrain the establishment of the college and to prevent it from conferring diplomas. Some weeks ago Judge Hagner dismissed the original b:ll upon the ground that it failed to charge any specific wrong:loing.

His subject, “Art for the People,” was handled in a comprehensive manner, P ar stress being laid upon the neces- sity of including “art” as a regular fea- ture of common schoo! education. In con- nection with this Mr. Partridge said: “In order to edueate the people to an apprecia- tion of the fine arts we must begin with the children in the public schools. A few ago the study of art was a privilege ould afford to undertake. Now ely a public school in the land e some order of art training is not n to the pupils gratis, and further- Irore, in a limited number of schools, prin- y in New England, excellent photo- grap » masterpieces of great artists are hung upon the walls so that the chil- dren may grow to love to look at beautiful things.

FITTINGLY OPENED. Ezval Lodge a Scene of Beanty Last Night. New Masonic Temple and Its Artistic Fair—Commissioner Ross Makes an Addre: A triumphant epoch, in the history of Masonry in this city was marked last even- ing by the opening of a fair, and at the same time the new Masonic Temple which has been erected by Naval Lodge, No. 4, F. A. A. M, at the corner of 4th street and Fennsylvania avenue southeast. The building of the structure was begun in July last, and it was ccmpleted but a few weeks ago. For the purpose of properly furnishing their new home, and also for diminishing a debt incurred in the erection, the members of Naval Lodge decided that the public should first view the inside of the temple when a fair should be in pro- gress and the place gaily decorated. Wives, daughters, Sisters, aunts, mothers, cousins, sweethearts and female friends were called upon to aid the project, and, althou the weaker sex, they proved strong in their ai ‘The result was the opening last evening ef a fair on such an elaborate scale as has seldom been seen east of the Capitol. The fair proper comprises the greater pertion of the new building. On the second flocr isa large room fitted up with booths, and there are a number of smaller rooms where refreshments are served. A shoot- ing gallery has been fitted up, and various other attractions are presented. On the fourth floor is a large hall, also fitted with booths, but with a floor space free for dancing. There are also a number. of smaller rooms, in which are located what might be termed side sho ‘The entire building was literally packed before 8 o'clock last evening. Of course, there were pretty girls galore, charmingly gowned, many of whom were escorted by young men with fat purses, and those are the kind the lodge is particularly desirous of seeing. A stillness became apparent when a party, Ross, D. G. Dixoa, grand master; George W. Baird, deputy grand master; Matthew Trimble, senior grand warden; Samuel C. Palmer, junior grand warden, C. B. Smith, chaplain; Harry Standiford, junior deacon, and George H. Walker, past grand high priest, mounted the speaker's gallery. The chairman of the entertainment committee, Geo. C. Ober, announced to the throng be- low that he was happy to see so many possible victims present, and he added that he would like to tell what the,lodge wanted to do with them, but it was his duty to introduce Grand Master Dixon, and that enly. ‘The grand master remarked that he was sure he voiced the sentiment of all present when he stated that Naval Lodge deserved the utmost credit for erecting such a home, which wis a credit to themselves and to the fraternity, a credit not only to East Washington, but to the entire city. He congratulated the lodge on the presence and help of the ladies, and added that he had no doubt but that the enterprise would be an entire success. Commissioner Ross. Commissioner Ross was then introduced and was greeted with applause. He took great pleasure, he said, in being present. When the corner stene of the building was laid the speaker was away from the city, which fact he regretted deeply, as it was his desire to be present on that occasion. Mr. Ross declared that he was astounded at what Naval Lodge has accomplished. The erection of the temple was begun in July last, when building operations throughout the city were practically sus- pended, but in spite of all obstacles suc- cess had been attained. He wished the ex- ample would prove contagious, and urged these lodges who cannot build Gividually to unite and erect a temple worthy of the District of Columbia, It was surmised that the enterprise of Naval Lodge would set the other lodges thinking. “As a Commissioner, I represent the whole city,” continued Mr. Ross. “I am proud of what has beer: accomplished, how- e in East. Washington. You have the Capitol building, the new library building, and soon, I think, will have a new build- ing for the Supreme Court of the United States, and before many years, in my opin- fon, this old avenve will be lined with fine structures. I congratulate Naval Lodge that ft has put up one among the firs ‘There never was a time when Free Mason- ry was more respected than at present. Tam proud to be a member of the organi- zation. I congratulate you on the assist- ance of ‘hese ‘fair’ ladies, and I sincerely trust that the fair itself will be a complete success.” Grand Master Dixon then touched an imaginary button, and the machinery of the fair was in motion. Some Features. ‘The upper hall fs fitted up, to accord with the architecture of the room, in the Egypt- fan style. -Flags and banners of every hue covered the walls, and the booths, without exception, are things of beauty.

There were fishing pends, graphephones, fortune tellers and all the other usual fixtures of a fair room. At 10 o'clock general dancing was com- menced.

To the Eilitor of The Evening Star: May I ask the question through your columns ff it would be any more than sim- ple justice to ask of the street car rail- road companies and the Commissioners of the District to clear away at least a foot path, through the embankments of snow or the streets opposite each stopping place for the cars that ladies amd passen- fers generally may enter and leave the cars without wading an unusual depth through the slush and snow? We poor mortais are compelled to clean away the snew and ice from the entire sidewalks in front of our houses within a few hours after the snow falls. W. G. McDOWELL. Aecndemy of Forty. The “Wimodaughsis Academy of Forty” was organized last evening, and the first three section of a constitution were adopted. These give the society its name, and state its object as “the cultivation of the art of refined and ennobling conversation.” The officers nemed are magister, vice magister, seribe, correspondent, repositor, director and board of censors. The election of offl- cers and action on app! tions for mem- bership were deferred until the next session. Mrs. Havens was made temporary chat itiams temporary scribe. The committee elected to complete the con u is composed of Miss Katherine Garst, M Williams and Mrs. Hayens.

AMUSEMENTS. ‘The Grand Opera House.—Chauncey Ol- cott, in the “Irish Artist,” was the attrac- tion at the Grand Opera House last night. ‘This young actor has many exceptional gifts, prominent among them being that personal magnetism which attracts an audience regardless of the merits or de- merits of the play itself. “The Irish Artist” does not suffer by comparison with other plays of the same type, its chief recommendation being the manner in which it gives Mr. Olcott an opportunity for the display of a tenor voice of ex- quisite sweetness. He sings some of the good old ballads which age cannot wither. The new bits of musical composition which he introduces are charming indeed, but scarcely so charming as the simple, yet striking, melody and the warm, fluent ver- sification of such songs as “Believe Me, if All Her Endearing Young Charms.” The company was entirely competent to do justice to the play and the performance afforded much that was mirth-proyoking as weil as plenty of action and sentiment. Mr. Olcott is evidently giving his abilities conscientious cultivation, for his work in general shows marked improvement as time passes. National.—Tne first performance ever given of “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” and the last one, as well, cccurred in Wash- ington. The first one was some time ago; the last one was last night, but for a day only, as, judging by its enthusiastic re- ception, though seen here several times, it has the staying qualities which character- ize only meritorious plays. Perhaps not in cast, but in scenic effects it has been greatly improved since the beginning, and the third act, the stockade, is now a feature in realistic dramatic representa- tion which has not, probably, a superior on the stage. The entire act is kept at the highest tension and when the curtain goes down on the rescue of the stockaders by a company of cavalry on a wild rush the en- tire audience catches the spirit of the scene and lets itself loose in tremendous applause. Last night the curtain was call- ed up four times, and still the people want-- ed more. In the cast are Maclyn Arbuckle, eas Gen. Kennion; Miss Maud Harrison, as his daughte~ ‘ate; Thomas Oberle, as Maj. Burleigh; James E. Wilson, as Lieut. Hawkesworth; Mr. MacSweeney and Mr. Enos, as Orderly McGlynn _and_ Private Jones; Chis. Lothian, as Dr. Penwick; Master George Enos, as Dick Burleigh; trude Berkeley, as Lucy Hawkesworth; Violet Rand,as Fawn Afraid; Myron Calice, as Scar Brow, and Lottie Alter, as Wilber’s Ann, a very bright bit of work by a bright little woman. The play, of course, moved smoothly and there was a big houseful of people to enjoy it. Stoddard Lecture.—Mr. Stoddard, in his introduction last night at the Academy, stated that he had lectured in Washington 150 times, and yet, though he did not say so, he is the same attractive speaker, and his admirers are always glad to hear him talk of his trawels and see with him the enes he has seen. His lecture last night was on Paris, historical, however, rather than pictorial, and his talk was even more interesting than the pictures. Mr. Stod- derd is a friend of the late Napoleon Bona- parte, and his references to that great military genius brought frequent applause. In the Paris pictorial Mr. Stoddard’s au- ditors followed him through the Place de la Concorde, along the Champs Elysee to the Church of the Madeline, to the Grand Opera House, the tomb of Napoleon, the Fiffel tower, the palace of the Trocadero, the Louvre, the Versailles, along the Seine, over the bridges, about Notre Dame, and, in fact, everywhere almost where people go, and at each point of interest the pic- ! ture was given all the effect of light and Life and color by the beautiful, grand paint- ing which is one of Mr, Stoddard’s chief charms as a lecturer. The curtain went down on a picture of the first Napoleon which was his favorite, and the eulogium by the lecturer could not have been less pieasing to him than the picture. Miss Jennie O'Neill Potter.— Jenaie O'Neill Potter delighted an enthusiastic and appreciative audience at Metzerc:t’s Music Hall last evening in Robert Griffin Morris’ monologue, “Flirts and Matrons.”” The range of emotions portrayed in this pretty little work was certainly well worked out by Miss Potter. Through the saucy, piquant chatter of the little girl in the nursery, the Vassar girl and the bud in society her rendering was inimitably nat- ural and finished. In the more pathetic periods of the wife, the mother and the old lady there was quite as much action and spirit shown as in the more striking parts earlier in the prosram. Miss Potter's elocution is always pleasing and her dra- aptitude in the comedy parts is strik- ing promising. The program was pleasingly varied by solos by Miss Kitty Thompson Berry, who was several times encored. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—No vaude- ville compeny is more popular in this city than the Rice & Barton's Rose Hill Folly Cempany, which began its first engage- ment of the season at Kernan’s last ni The house was crowded and the inte in the different attyactions was ince: Miss Clara Lawrence, the cornetist, is was far above the average and was enthusiasti- cally received. The excellent black-face team, Crawford and Manning, had to un- swer to three encores. The Washburn Sisters gave a striking interpretation of the Bowery girls. The mustcal team, Mor- ton and Eckloff, played finely, and their ccmedy work was greatly enjoyed. Mr. Frank Emerson, bone soloist, closed the olio, and proved to be a feature of the |shew. Then came the burlesque, ‘The Fokir’s Daughter,” with its pretty girls, catchy songs and dances and witty say~ ings, the troupe entering into their work with energy. Butler’s Bijou Theater.—Manager Butler has a very strong attraction at the Bijou Theater this week in Hi Henry's big min- strel troupe. Their opening house last night was a big one, and laughter was ecntinuous. Such weli-known minstrel per formers as Frank McNish, Marcus Doyle, Matt Diamond, Larry Mack and many others are with the troupe, and the enter- tainment put forward was one of the best seen in this city this season. The singing is far above the ordinary, the boy soprano, Edward Percy, capturing the audience with | his clear voice and pleasing manner. The uproarous funny skit, “The,Mind Readers,” interpreted by Frank MeNish and Matt Diamond, kept everybody in a roar until the curtain fell. The combination feature of pickaninnies and brownies proved a decided hit, and a'score of other features made up a highly interesting program. The performance terminated with a spec- tacular production of marching gladiators and living pictures, the latter original bur- lesques on classic marble statuary.

A Young Marylan@ Farmer Captured by the Officers. John Hoopengardner, a young farmer residing near Hancock, Md., on the C. and O. canal, who for some time has been sus- pected of counterfeiting, was on Sunday night “swooped” down upon while at his heme by United States Agent Griffith of Pittsburg and Detective Fisher of Hagers- town. They knocked at the Hoopengardner farm house and the hoy’s mother answer2d. Wile they were plying the old lady with questions they heard a noise at the upper window. Suspecting that their presence had been discovered and their business, too, and that the man wanted was attempt- ing to escape, they rushed around to the back of the house. There they saw the man just rushing off in the darkness with only his night clothes on. He was yelled at to stop, but he went on, in spite of bare feet, linen clothes, snow and freezing «old A ball went from one of the officers’ pis: tol when they found that no attention was paid to their commands. It struck the fleeing fellow on the calf of the leg, but he went on. After an exciting chase he eluded the officers. Later he returned to his home and was caught. A search of the house and outbuildings disclosed in the smoke house a piaster-cf- paris mold for making nickels. It is said the prisoner has flooded his section with the bogus nickels made. —_—— Right of Way Through the White House Grounds. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will you allow me space in your columns to state a grievance which many people are enduring and have endured for some time? In all former administrations, re- publican and democratic alike, the right of way across the grounds of the Presidential Mansion has been freely accorded. The gates through the lower portion of the grounds have never been closed against the public until a year or so ago. In the morning, from 8 o'clock until 9, they are open, to permit the government clerks to pass through, but at 4 o'clock, when the need is equally great, they are hermetical- ly sealed. This causes many a clerk, tired from his or her day’s work, to make quite a detour in order to reach home. This morning the gates were open, between 8 and 9, but the walk from the gates near the treasury to those near the Department of State were deep in snow three-quarters of the way, and one was compelled to wade ankle-deep and more through the snow. Why should the rights of the clerks be so curtailed? The White House is not a private residence, nor are its grounds private property. Free access is had over other government grounds, why not here? No one asks or desires to wander about in the grounds, but the departmental clerks do ask that they should not be put to the personal inconvenience, extra journeying and loss of time which they now suffer.

The Washington Saengerbund, with hun- dreds of their friends, took possession of the Washington Light Infantry Armory last evening and enjoyed themselves in a manner seldom equaled. The occasion was the annual fools’ carnival celebration, a custom with the leading German organiza- tions. The hall was gaily decorated and brilliantly lighted, and at one end was a platform, on which were seated Messrs. John Waldmann, William Waldecker, Will- iam Berens, A. Fors, Rudolph Schneider, Earnest Kubel, Paul Havenstein, John J. Fisher, Leo Stiefel, Louis Faber and Fritz Altrup. The Saengerbund orchestra was located to the right of the committee, and between the two,in imitation of a sea shell, was a raised chancel. Several Jong tables were located in the hall. These tables were fully occupied, and a great number of per- sons, unable to obtain seats, were forced to stand throughout the evening. Mr. Clandy, as chief fool of the carnival, opened the exercises at 9 o’clock with a witty speech. The opening scene was an original travesty, entitled, “The Poet's Dream of the Modern Faust,” in which Miss Louise Donch, Miss Clara Donch,Miss B. E. Lutz, Miss U. Rettig, Mr. F. Altrup, Mr. G. W. Spier and Mr. W. J. Wolf par- ticipated. Next on the program was the receipt of greetings and fools’ caps from several New York organizations. Mr. Paul Schultz was called upon for a speech, after which Mr, Albert Lepper described the manner in which he had fotnd America. Mr. Frank Rocker of the New York Arion Soctety, made an amusing address, and Prof. Max Kasil gave a grotesque perform- ance on the violin. Attractions were also presented by Mr. Victor Poesche and Mr. Fred Altrup. Mr. Simon Wolf was unable to be present, but he sent the manuscript of a political speech, which was read and greatly enjoyed. At midnight the floor was cleared and the young folks danced for several hours. The Scene was a unique one, as every dancer was required to wear a grotesque fool’s cap. The affair was generally conceded to be one of the most enjoyable of the many ever held under the auspices of the Saen- gerbund. At All News Stands.
