Bijou Theater last night held a large and jhearty gathering of Irish-Americans met lto celebrate the 117th anniversary of the 'pPirth of Robert Emmet. Senator Walsh ‘of Georgia had been slated for a speech, jut could not come, so at 8 o'clock Con- tgressman Maguire of California swung 'himself into line on the theme of “Ireland and Her Heroes.” His speech rang clear ‘and sweet and was broken again and again by sharp, quick snaps of applause. ‘Ihe pathetic story of the heroes of the old country, from King Brian to Emmet and these later days, was told in anecdote, Jegend, song and appeal, with a graphic touch and picturesque color that lent magic to the whole speech. The Geraldine: Dramatic Club heroic drama, “Robert Emmet.” of Emmet was taken by M. F. Halloran, and that of his friend Dowdall by A. J. -Gtack. Mrs. Mary B. Halloran played Sarah Curran, the devoted sweetheart of ‘Emmet. The rendering was warmly ap- plauded, the battle scene between the Irish peasants and English soldiers being highly realistic. An unexpected pleasure in the program was the appearance of Dan McCarthy, the Irish comedian, who plays at the Bijou this week. Mr. McCarthy vol- unteered his services and came on between the first and second acts with several Irish songs and dances, which were quite fetch- ing. The proceeds of the performance Will be given to the city’s charities. Lecture. on Ireland. At the Academy of Music at the same hour Congressman John T. Dunn was lec- turing on “Irishmen at Home and Abroad,” for the benefit of the St. Vincept de Paul society. The speaker was Introduced by ‘R. F. Downing in a happy little tribute to the services of Mr. Dunn to the cause of Ireland and to the memory of Emmet. Music was furnished by the Carroll Insti- tute Orchestra. On the platform sat Rev. Cornelius Gillespie, pastor of St. Aloysius; Rev. W. J. Scanlan, pastor of Holy Trinit Rey. John Gloyd, pastor of St. Patrick's; Mr. John Fuller, and others. The speaker connected the people of Ire- land with Holy Writ by saying he had no doubt they were the ancient Scythians, the same people whom Jeremiah referred to 1,600 years before Christ, whom Darius and all the eastern conquerors knew. There was, he said, a similarity in laws and in the construction of social order between the ancient Scythians and the pagan Hi- bernians. He believed it was the logic of n that an indestructible race should iit up on the green island beyond the blue sea, and, after referring to the intro- duction ‘of Christianity by St. Patrick, It on the greatness of Irish names in ory, literature and war, as well as her ‘omise of future glory. _— Of Old Age. Burial services were held in the chapel of the Little Sisters of the Poor, on H street Saturday over the remains of Lina Mary Green, colored, who died there yesterday of senile debility. She was a native of Virginia, and her age was given as 105 years. Dr. Holden, who attended her, states in his death certificate that the deceased had no specific disease. The body was buried in Mount Olivet cemetery. Seine Admiral Sir G. T. Phipps Hornby died yesterday at Lordington, Hampshire, Eng- land, of pneumonia, resulting from’ influ- enza.

Henry Studebaker died Saturday at South Bend, Ind., after an illness of two years. He was born sixty-eight years ago in Adams county, Pa. In 1882 he and his brother, Clem Studebaker, established the wagon factory that made them wealthy. The German reichstag has rejected the government’s request for a credit of 2,400,- 000 marks with which to build torpedo boats for Germany. Saturday’s elections to the London county council indicate that the body will be near- ly equally divided politically.

The ice formed a new barrier extending entirely across the river from the Cecil to the Harford side. The situation con- tinued critical throughout the night. Some families had to vacate their houses. The British steamer Venetian of the Furness line, from Boston to Liverpool, which struck on “Lower Middle” Ledge, off the Massachusetts coast, Saturday after- noon, broke her back yesterday morning and is a total wreck. The financial loss is estimated at over $500,000. Early yesterday morning fire was dis- covered issuing from the windows of Robt. Simpson’s six-story dry goods store, cn the corner of Queen and Yonge streets, Toronto, Canada, and before it was sub- dued $780,000 worth of property had been destroyed. The total insurance is $470,000. A Central Pacific railroad passenger train was held up near Antelope station, Cal., yesterday morning by two masked men. After running a short distance the engineer was ordered to stop, but as he slowed up the fireman grappled with one of the men, who laid him low with a blow from his revolver. The engineer attempted to hit his man with a wrench, but he jumped to the ground and with his companion escap- ed into the woods. The Omaha grand jury Saturday night submitted a report that charges corruption among the policemen, and charges that large sums of money were paid periodical- ly by the gamblers to police officers for protection.

In addition to those sentences of Ha- walian conspirators mentioned in Satur- day’s dispatches to The Star, the follow- ing sentences have been imposed at Hono- lulu: Thomas Walker, thirty years and a fine of $5,000; Carl Widemana, thirty years; William Greigg, twenty years; Louis Mar- shall, twenty years. The last two were figed $10,000 each. James C. Lane was given five years and a fine of $5,000. “dition of the seats. THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, MARCH 4, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. AMATEUR BALL NINES Preparing to Organize the Depart- mental League. TO BE PLAYED AT NATIONAL . PARK First Meeting of Delegates'Soon to Be Held. ATHLETIC CLUB TEAMS Of all outdoor sports base ball is to have the call again this summer among the amateurs, Georgetown College has an ex- ceptionally fine lot of players. A feature of their work will be team play, at which they are always strong, und which will be greatly improved by the professional coach about to be secured. Some raged work may be looked for in the opening games, as little practice has been obtained in the inadequate cage and none at all on the campus. But, weather permitting, the men will be out in the open air this week, as the new-made ground on the field is expected -to be then sufficiently hardened. The make-up of the team has been about decided upon, and will be officially an- nounced in the course of a week or so. Other of the stronger amateur nines will be those from the Columbia Athletic Club, the Columbian University and the Wash- ington Light Infantry. The soldier boys have some heavy batsmen, but will be rather weak in fielding, as they have no suitable field available. The other organizations have some like- ly looking colts, but the Columbias espe- cfally should be heard from, as they have excellent facilities in the shape of good grounds, plenty of candidates and ezperi- enced trainers, The Carroll Institute people are anxlous to be represented in the local base ball world, but it is doubtful if a team will be formed. It will not be for lack of good material, as Instructor Maurice A. Jcyce claims he has some players the equals of any in the city. Lack of available grounds is the obstacle. Commons are plentiful in the neighbor- hood of South Capitol and O streets, and, consequently,the Washington Athletic Club will surely have a nine, though whether it will apply for membership in the proposed District League is undecided. Who are at tHe bottom of the said league is a matter shrouded in gloom, and not even captains of the nines already organ- ized appear to have any idea of the parties interested. The Departmental League is in the field again, and has secured the best ball inside the District, viz. the Wagner's grounds, out on 7th street. The Departmental League. Last year many government employes got together rather late in the day, and for that reason the local league just*managed to reach a sound basis when the base ball season of 1894 came to an end. This year the opening date will be soon after the season for the National League opens. ‘The first meeting of representatives from the interested departments will be held the latter part of this week, when a schedule committee will be appointed and the dates announced soon after. The delegates are as follows: From the interstate commerce commission, Sam. Stearn; city post office, Frank Rebstock; District Commissioners’ office, Charles Hunt; War and Navy De- partments, Charles F. Dickens; Treasury Department, A. E. Severn; bureau of en- graving and printing, Charles F. Miller, and pension offie, George H. Yeager. ‘The delegates named represent, of course, only seven teams, and another nine will have to be taken in. It has been suggested as advisable to take in an outside organization; that is, some one of the athletic clubs. By this means a first-class club could be added to the membership, and the league considera- bly strengthened, if one of the larger ath- letic associations asked to join. Some oppo- sition has, however, been raised to this plan, and it is suggested that an effort be made to get together a nine in some other one of the government branches. ‘The navy yard, the general post office and the government printing office are among the available bureaus that have been thought of, and their capacity for drawing support considered. - The Financial Question. The question of finances, as usual, will play an important part in more ways than one. At the end of the season Jast year the expenses were all met and the mem- bers of the league congratulated them- selves in being so successful in that, as well as in other directions. Nearly all amateur associations strike on the rock of money and sink. The District of Columbia League didn’t, and now its supporters and admirers are looking forward to a com- fortable balance on the treasurer's books at the end of the summer. In this connection, an item that wiil come up for discussion at the coming meet- ing will be the question of whether there shall be any salaries paid to any of the officials or not. Some are for it and some against. From the indications a small salary may be paid to the umpires and secretary, and possibly the president. They will not, however, be of any great amount. Who the officers will be is pretty well known, sentiment being in favor of retnrn- irg those of last year. They were Antony A. Sousa of the city post oitice, pr Lamar Cobb of the District office, president; William Hardesty, secretary; Wilmot Harris, treasurer; George Yeager of the pension office, custodian, and Alvin Belt of the Interior Department, chief of umpires. : Secretary Hardesty has sent in his resig- nation, because his change of employment will not allow him sufficient time to attend to the duties of the cifice. Mr. Sousa, in addition to being popular among his asso- ciates, understands his duties and will be elected to the presidency. The others are ‘all well-qualified gentlemen, and will, no doubt, be retained. As the secretary’s office is not generally known to be vacant only a few names have been mentioned in connection with it, though it is probable that it will have some seekers. The question of constitution, or rather its rules governing the game, are expected to be productive of some little discussion. The National League regulations may be adopted with slight changes, such as the experience of last yea? may suggest. On the other hand, some people are in favor of abiding by the constitution and by-laws of last year without alteration. Whether ‘outsiders shall be allowed cn teams from offices to which they do not belong may attract some attention. Games at National Park. A great improvement over last year that Both players and spectators will be glad to learn of is that all the games are to be played at the National Base Ball Park, in- stead of at the old Capitol grounds. The diamond at the latter place was never in good condition, and there were any number of holes in the outfield into which a fielder was liable to stumble when running after the ball. Such a mishap will not occur on the smooth and well-kept 7th street park. Other great advantages will be the ac- cessibility of the park and the better con- These, the directors think, will have the effect of making the quarters and half dollars flow into the treasury at a faster rate and in greater numbers. The games will be played when the Washingtons are away, so that the first series will occupy nearly all of May. This arrangement, of course, does not al- low nearly so many games as if a separate ground was secured, but the other ad- vantages more than counterbalance this. Washington patrons of the national game will thus be provided with exhibitions of the sport daily, and any man may jump on the cable cars and go out to the park whenever he lists, knowing that there will surely be a game on the cards. A Trophy Offered. As an extra incentive for rivalry, Jos. K. Strasburger, the score card man, has offered a handsome trophy, to be presented to the team winning the championship. It is a rosewood bat, tipped with silver, and a silver ball, in imitation of the regulation league ball, and will be placed on exhibi- tion in not a great while. 3 —_-__ Don’t Fail to Get a Copy.

Bowlers of ‘the Baltimore Catholic ‘Club Won Three Games. The champion‘ bowling team of the Car- roll Institute went ®ver to Baltimore on Saturday aftetnoon “and at night bowled a set of three, games with the team of the Baltimore Cafholic ;Club, and the home team chalked» up alir three games t6 its credit. bad £ 3 For the Oridle bowlers Capt: Blake put up an excellent game. He made 512 pins in his serial ran andthe also made 188 pins for the highést individual score of the evening. | Tony Rice of the Carrolls did fine work. He bowled over 478 pins in his triplet run and he also made 182 pins for the best single string of his team. The home team bowled over 2,338 pins for the evening, which netted them the good average of 777 2-3 per game, and the Carrolls got 2,217 pins to their cralit, which gave them the ‘fair average of 739 per game. It is due the Carrolls to say that the shortness of the run was a serious handi- cap to them. The amateur bowling regula- tions call for a run oack of the foul line of not less than fiftean feet, to which they are accustomed, and the Baltimore alleys afford a run of -only nine feet, and they were also without the services of their best bowler, Birney Loeraft. This contest was witnessed by a large attendance, and the totals by frames were close, which kept the interest at a high pitch all the way through, The scores in detail are as follows: First Game. .

Woodall of Richmond defeated William Blackley of Norfolk for secretary. Newport News sur- rendered its franchise and Richmond, Nor- folk, Portsmouth, Petersburg, Roanoke and Lynchburg will constitute the league. Each club is to receive 50 per cent of the gate recipts at all games, wherever play- ed. The matter of admitting ladies free was left to the manager of each club. It was decided to open the season April 15. The salary limit was not changed. Ladies to Play Basket Ball.

The second of the Saturday lectures at the National Museum was delivered by Prof. Franz Boas on the subject of “Human Growth.” It was a purely scien- tific but extremely interesting considera~ tion of physical development of the human species. The speaker described at length the four distinct, recognized types, the Mongoloid, Negroid, Mediterranean and Australian, of Which the two former were the most clearly in extremes. The differ- entiation and coalescence of these types wag set forth and made the basis of sev- eral deductions. Prof. Boas says the most typical development of the human form is a long leg and arm and a short trunk. The Mongoloid-race gpproach nearest the infantile form! whif} the Negroid and Australian shgw the human proportions mest highly developed: At Again.

In All Over $30,000 Was Spent for the/| A Beautiful and Quiet Sunday, With * Poor the Past Winter. There was a brief meeting of the citi- zens’ central relief committee Saturday af- ternoon at the office of Judge Cole, city hall. Those present were Judge Cole, Mrs. Babson, Miss Loring, Col. Tracey and Messrs. Blout, Gardner and Somerville. About the only business transacted was a report of the financial condition of the com- mittee, submitted by Mr. Gardner, the mak- ing of several appropriations and adoption of a motion to pay the Central Union Mis- sion $100 for two months’ rent of the room occupied by the committee of distribution. The committee has given up this room, and all further communications for the com- mittee should be sent to 1410 G street northwest. It‘was also determined to re- quest reports from all the agencies of the committee at the earliest moment, that at the next meeting of the committee, on the 16th instant, the final report of the com- mittee might be submitted. In submitting his report, Mr. Gardner stated that the total amount received from all sources in cash was $30,250. Of that sum $26,300 had been appropriated up to March 1. For the coming week the com- mittee recommended the following appro- priations: Police, $700; Associated Chari- ties, $500; Y. M. C. A., colored, $300; Cen- tral Union Mission, $100; St. Vincent de Paul Society, $100, and Deaconess Home, $200, making the total sum appropriated $28,200, leaving a balance of $1,400, which balance was subject to several small ac- counts. The total appropriations made for the several agencies were as follows: Po- lice, $8,500; Associated Charities, $6,500; Central Union Mission, $3,000; St. Vincent de Paul Society, $1,600; Colored Y. M. C. A., $700; Hebrew Charities, $750; Deaconess Home, $250; Women’s Loyal Legion, $200, and street work, $5,000. — Had the Money. Police Sergeant Moore of ‘the first pre- "cinct was seated in the office of the station late yesterday afternoon waiting for the 6 o’clock roll call, when he heard a noise at the door. An instant later two men, whom he recognized as Samuel Hutchin- son, a shoemaker, about sixty years old, and a young man named John Cassell, cab driver, entered. “This man has robbed me of $42," said the cabman, “and I want him arrested.” “I haven’t taken his money,” protested the shoemaker, who also denied that he had any money on him. “If you don’t believe me,” he said, in- dignantly, “search me.” Sergeant Moore took him at his word, and looking through his pockets he failed Yo find but eight cents, and the prisoner heaved a sigh of relief as he thought how easy he had duped the police. But in an instant his hopes were dashed to pieces, for the sergeant ordered him to remove his boots, that he might search them. In the toes of the boots the officer found $25, while under the lining of his hat he had $15. Even then the old man protested that he was innocent of the charge, but the police locked him up. ‘fhe shoemaker and cabman room to- gether at No. 1414 E street northwest, and yesterday when Cassell returned to his room and discovered his loss he started at once for Jackson City, where so many thieves go after they steal. He suspected his roommate of the theft, and when he reached the Long bridge he overtook the shoemaker, whom he placed under arrest. The old man had a friend with him, and Cassell was not going to take one of them unless he whipped both, but this difficulty was overcome when he drew his pen- knife and threatened to use it on them. Then he marched the old man all the way threugh South Washington and the Mail and turned him over to the officers. The case was heard in the Police Court today, and Judge Miller held him in $500 security for the grand juty. —— Several Bequests. The will of the late Helen P. Cady, dated January 25, 1895, filed Saturday, appoints Bernard P. Mimmack executor and directs him to sell the real estate, sublot 8, block 21, Takoma Park. The proceeds therefrom are to be added to the bulk of the estate, when the following bequests are to be paid: $500 to Frank Hartwell of Chicago, a nephew; $0 to Helen Frances Buck of Auburn, Neb.; $200 to Lewis Martin Cady, a nephew of her husband; $100 to Hiram Walworth Cady of Plattsburg, N. Y., and $100 to Susan Sibley of Hoosic Falls, N.Y. If, after the funeral expenses and the pre- ceding bequests are paid, there remains @ sufficient amount, $500 each are given to Chattie Winslow Schuyler of Plattsburg, N. ¥., and Margaret Dimon Platt of Chica- go, nieces; otherwise the remaining amount is to be equally divided between them. John Brady, a pensioner, came here from Ney York to get his quarterly allowance of Uncle Sam’s cash today. He reached here late Saturday night, and not wanting to spend a “dry” Sunday he got in a supply of liquor in bottles in addition to drinking more than he could stand. About 3 o’clock in the morning he staggered into the South Washington police station and wanted free lodgings. In addition to this he was will- ing to whip half a dozen policemen before he occupied the pine bed. With some diffi- culty the officers searched him, and in ad- dition to the two bottles of whisky the officer found a razor on him. Before Judge Miller this morning the man appeared on a charge of carrying concealed weapons.
