There was a ‘“what-a-difference-in-the- morning” jock on the faces of many of Judge Kimball's callers this morning, and the procession was made up of men, wo- men and children. There were -1any per- sons in the precession who had been locked up since Saturday night. Some of chem had been drunk and profane, others had oc- cupied the sidewalks instead of going home to their beds, and others had stood in un- lawful crowds or engaged in games of crap. Bertie Eryan and Mary Johnson, colored girls from O street alley, were first in line, and the former denief that she was guilty of disorderly conduct, while the lat- ter admitted her guilt. “I found them on N street at night,” said the officer. “They were engaged in a quar- rel, and I heard some profanity.” ou didn’t hear me swear,” said Bertie, “and I wasn't drinking. I went over to sit with Mary, and she had been drinking.” “Five dollars each.” Ada Johnson, a colored girl who lives in Swinghammer alley, next appeared, .nd the court fined her the usual amouat for having disturbed the quiet of the neighbor- hood where she lives. Fish Probably Maude Him Thirsty. Moses Robinson's face is as familiar in the Police Court as is that of several men who occupy seats in the audience almost every day. But during the past winter he has managed to get along very well, and now that the fish season has opened and. business is brisk, his prosperity is more than he can stand, and the saloon keepers are getting his money. “Well, Moses,” said Judge Kimball this morning, “you've been doing: pretty well; what's the trouble now?” “Whisky,” answered Moses. es,” said the judge, says you have been locked up for being drunk three times this month. How lorg since you were before the court?” Moses could not remember the date of his last appearance, aJthough he knew it Was at least three months ago. He was given five days in which to get the liquor out of him. “I found this man under the influerce of liquor Saturday night,” said the officer, talking about a colored man named Milage Abner. “And,” he added, “he had his arms filled with meat and bread, as if he had been begging.” “This is my brother,” said a man in the audience. “He is paralyzed. He lives with mother and myself and we support him.” “But what about his begging?” “He had no occasion to beg,” answered the brother. > “Will you take care of him if I let him go? “Yes, sir. I'll do the best I can with him.” He was released on his personal bonds. A Pretty Dangerous Vagrant. A tall colored man, whose name was given as «William Robb, was in line on 2 charge of vagrancy, and he answered “guilty.” “ * “Last night about the time people were going home from church,” said the officer, “I heard a woman scream near Franklin Square, and when I reached the park an elderly lady told me that the man had grabbed her and asked for money. The officer said he followed the man and caught him near 15th street. “When did this man get out of the work- house?” the court asked. “Only a few days ago.” feet will have to go back for thirty lays.” William Birdell. a stranger who admitted that he had participated in a St. Patrick's day celebration, denied that he was a vagrant and suspicious person. “I have been working at Old Point,” he) said, “and am now on my way. home to New Jersey.” He showed the court a recommendation that had been given him by his employer, and said he expected a situation here. His personal bonds were taken. An Unlucky Find for Smith. Next in line was a colored man named William Smith, and the complaint against him was habitual drunkenness. “I've seen him drunk several times dur- ing the past month,” said the officer, ‘and Saturday when I saw him I placed him un- der arrest.” “I tell you how it was, judge,” said the prisoner. “I was working in Mr. Hopf- meyer’s cellar Saturday and we found a bottle of whisky.. One of the men thought it was pizen, but when I tasted it and found it was whisky all the men took a drink.” “But you marked. e “Yes, sir,” said the prisoner. “I went out of the cellar and got caught. If i had re- mained there I would not have been here this morning.” The court imposed a sentence of ten days. “I'm guilty,” was George Kelly’s plea to a charge of vagrancy. “What was the man doing?” the judge asked. “Begging for food and lodging,” replied the officer. “Thirty days.” Annie Foley has been sent to the work house so many times that she now imag- ines she is owner of one of the rooms in the prison. “ Annie celebrated the 17th and got ar- rested. nd 1 hadn’t taken anything but gin- ger,” she said. “Do you mean to say that anything short of whisky will make you drunk?” “Well, that’s all I had.” “Annie,” said Judge Kimball, “you are getting old and are nearing your end, and still you are pursuing your old course. Liquor has got too strong a hold on you, and the only way to keep you sober is to keep you locked up.” She was sent down. Samuel Phelps and John Harding were charged with profanity. “They were drunk Saturday afternoon and went from one saloon to another,” said th@ officer. “And,” he added, “they were thrown out of several places.” Five dollars each. = Several boys were fined $5 for throwing stones and several suspicious persons were sent down. got arrested,” the judge: re- ————————s Adminisirator'« Sale.

AMUSEMENTS. The Tuxedo Club’s Benefit—One of the musical events of the season.occfrred at the Academy of Music last evening, it be- ing the testimonial benefit to the Tuxedo Quartet. The audience was very large and enthusiastic, and the long program of fif- teen numbers was strung out by numerous encores, until it reached an almost weari- some length. The feature of the evening was the orchestra, composed of 100 man- dolins, guitars and banjos, under the direc- tion of Mr. A. V. Holmes, who has had the orchestra under training for a very short time to obtain the excellent results which were manifested last evening. The aggre- gation was made up of local clubs and un- attached players, and rendered Tourjee’s Waltz, dedicated to Mme. Nordica, in a pleasing and really artistic manner. The Tuxedos appeared three times on the pro- gram, and each time.had to respond to three encores. They also played several ac- companiments to the soloists, and left a lasting impression on the minds of their hearers as to the excellence of their work. Miss Cara Pryor charmed the audience by her two songs, “Fleeting Days” and ‘Suwanee River,” while Mrs. Kitty Thomp- son-Berry was in no less favor with her solo, “The Forest Song.” Hub Smith, al- ways popular, sang the latest song, “If You Want a Kiss, Why, Take It,” respondiag to an encore with “Mrs. ’Enry ’Awkins.’”” George O'Connor was also in evidence, and sang the “Yallar Girl,” “Little Alabama Coon,” and other of the latest attractions. Raymond Shaw, the remarkable tenor from the New York Academy of Music, was in excellent voice, and sang with great sweet- ness. He was obliged to respond to several encores. The other attractions on the pro- gram were J. J. Fischer, the Olmo Mandolin Orchestra, Cullen and Collins, Washing- ton’s leading banjoists, the Mount Pleasant Brass Quartet and the Columbia Quintet. Mr. C. F. McEnaney performed the difficult role of accompanist, while the services of the National League Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. Wagner, were kindly donated. The performance, as_ a whole, was unusually successful, and reflects great efedit on its manager, Mr. Henry Ham- seyer, the business head of the Tuxedo Quartet. Gilmore’s Band Concerts. — G11 more’s Band, under the directorship of Victor Herbert, gave two concerts at the Grand Opera House yesterday, a matinee and an evening performance. The afternoon con- cert was mostly composed of Irish melodies in honor of the day, but in the evening the program was more pretentious. Sig. De Carlo won an encore on his work on the piccolo, as did Herbert L. Clarke on the cornet. Both played Irish songs, while Mme. Louisa Natali sang “The Angel's Whisper” and “he Low Backed Car,” and Mr. Herbert also rendered a ‘cello solo. The band gave the overture from “William -Teli” better than has been played by any band in this city, and received an em- phatie encore. In the evening the center of attraction was the child pianist, Frieda Simonson. There appears to be no question as to her age, and although some seem to think that she is not the equal of what Josef Hoff- man was, still Hoffman was at least three years older at the time of his appearance here. She played Chopin's ‘Introduction and Polonaise,” for the piarw and ’cello, that instrument being played by Mr. Her- bert, and later rendered Moschelle’s “‘Alle- gro Brilliante,” and Liszt's arrangement of Schubert's “Wohin.” Her efforts were enthusiastically received, and her style and touch point to a wonderful future. The overture and march from Mr. Herbert's mew opera, ‘Prince “Grand American Fantaisie,” airs, pleased the popular ear. While the attendance in the afternoon was rather small, the evening house was very well filled, notwithstanding the other local at- tractions. Mr. Herbert “has proved himself a competent bandmaster, and aims to.keep his force up to the high standard set by-his predecessor. Concert at Butler’s Bijou.—Butler’s Bijou Theater was filled to the doors by the friends and members of St. Vincent de Paul conference of St. Aloysius’ Church last evening, who had come to hear a sa- ered concert for the benefit of the poor of St. Aloysius’ parish. Miss AtLee, who was the leader of the affair, was assisted by gome of the best known local talent. Miss Alice Judson sang the soprano solo from “Ernani and she was followed by the Metropolitan Giee Club, after which Mrs. Flint gave a spirited rendition of Verdi's “Don Fatale.” Miss Anita Cluss played “The Harp That Once Through Tara's | Hells” wiih her accustomed skill, receiv- i; three encores. Mr. M. W. Handlin sang Erin Must Be Free,” and Miss~ Frances Rodgers recited “‘Laureame, the Marbie Dream,” her posing being very effectual. The Apollo Quartet, -composed of Messrs. Reeside, Ryan, MacFarland and Turpin, rendered several numbers to the greai sat- isfaction of the audience. The bolero from the “Sicilian Vespers,’ was given creditably by Miss AtLee. Others who contributed. to the program were Mrs. Kitty Thompson- Berry, Miss Pauline Whitaker, Mr. James Nolan, Miss Jennie Glennan, and Messrs. Gilbert Clark, H. T. Statham, James Ma- honey and George E. Terry. The String Orchestra’s First Concert.— A new musical addition to the talent cf Washington was given an airing at the Untyersalist Church Saterday evening. This was the Washington String Orchestra, composed of the pupils of Mr. Ernest Lent, and under his direction. The orchestra comprises about thirty violins,twelve violas and ’celloe and double basses bes.de& the help of pianos. Nothing very pretentious was attempted, but Handel’s “Largo,” and a simple minuet by Boccherini were .ren- dered in a very pleasing manner, giving promise of more difficult work in the fu- ture. As it was, the orchestra played smoothly and with expression and sur- prised its friends by the excellence of its cfforts. Mrs, Edwin Z. Perkins, Mr. John Porter Lawrence and Mr. Lent were the soloists, Mrs. Perkins singing Mr. Lent’s “Laughing Song,” followed by the English ballad, “It Was a Lover and a Lass.” Mr. Lawrence’s number was “Man Lebt Nur Einmal-Strauss-Tausig,” which was given with even more than his usual skill. Mr. Lent chose one of Mendelssohn’s songs without words for his solo, and fully sus- tained his reputation as a master of the ‘cello. The audience very comfortably filled the church and gaye the new orches- tra a most encouraging reception. People’s Lecture Course.—ghe fourth lec- ture in this popular course will be given ‘Tuesday evening, March 19, in the Univer- salist Church. it is entitled “Marvels of the New.

It consists of a series of small pock- ets, containing small venwelopes to hold the flies, each envelopecbeing marked with the name of the incloséd @y. It is a very convenient affair, and will,doubtless prove a welcome innovation. News from several pdirits up the Poto- mac is to the shocking? effect that many fine bass sre being caught in seines, par- ticularly at Seneca an@ Tuscarora. The water is muddy, and thef.murder is. car- ried on ruthlessly. This custom is said to be followed every spring: and. no doubt hundreds of the finestc sport fish in the world are taken in this: way, to the detri- ment of the pleasure of genuine fisher- men who will follow when the water grows warmer and clearer; The wise angler will find it profitable to look over his tackle now, and have it made ready, so as to take advantage of the first propitious weather for his favorite sport. f the Potomac becomes clear and warm in the next ten days bass will be found eager for live bait, and, if warm enough, for the fly. Several old-timers have found helgamite attractive to the fish during the late March and early April. 4 No angling outfit is complete without a light, stanch landing net, with a handle long enough to allow plenty of room for working under a hooked fish. Many a fine bass has been lost by an awkward manipulation of a clumsy net, which would have otherwise made the fisher- man’s heart happy and his friends envious. Bass will be found inshore during the early spring, and in narrow shallows where there is not much current. Pros- pective visitors to the up-river haunts will do well to remember this. Among the anglers who are earliest on the water in this vicinity are Charlie Laird, who is as expert with the rod as he is with the rifle and breech-loader; Horace Upperman and Arthur McCor- mick. They all expect to be up around Tuscarcra some time next week. Sergeant-at-Arms Bright and Corre- spondent William G. Sterrett are “laying out a spring campaign against the bass, fad Major Kirby is keeping an eye on Dr. W. P. Young believes in the Shenan- doah for bass, and will put his notarial seal to the assertion that they are bigger and gamer in those waters than anywhere Ward comes from old Uncle George Pennyfield that he expects a great ankoe bass this spring. It is his experience that the fish are more numerous. and more eager to take hold after a severe winter than at other times. Several Baltimore enthusiasts have al- ready been whipping the muddy ice water near Weverton, but the usual colds were the result of their enterprise. An aluminum rod is the latest agony. There are two of them in use by guests at Rockledge, on Indian river, Florida. Richmond sportsmen expect to have a fine tiie this year fishing some streams in the Blue Ridge, near Brown’s Gap, that they stocked with trout three years ago. Rod manufacturers present an unusually large and fine assprtment to choose frem this year, and a new reel is announced that-is expected to do wonders. - Pouadmaster Einstein announces his in- tention to make war on the. small-mouthed swimmers before his regular foray on the big-mouthed bayers begins.

Prof. MeGee centinued the National Mu- seum lecture course Saturday with a dis- quisition on ‘The Extension of the Scien- tife Method.” He divided the. subject into three . heads, showing historically the growth of scientific study. in astronomy, geonomy and bionomy, or, to use common language, the ways in which man has nam- ed the phenomena of sky; land and life. Astronomy begen with:the star gazing of shepherds before man-learned to write or read, They noticed the-movements of the stars in their relations. to each other, and so was wrought from such.a beginning the knowledge which in time produced calen- dars and taught the theory of eclipses and all the phenomena of the solar system. In a manner quite as rude man -studied,the earth’s surface,*making rough guess-work maps, digging into tts resources of. iron, copper and other metals, tiling its solland utilizing its’ myriad forms of matter. The science of naming plant and animal life naturally begen in a similar primitive fash- ion, yet it-was but a-centpry and @ half ago that Limmaeus placed botany on a sys- tematic besis of momencilature. All science dealing with biology and man is yet in its Infancy, but making wonderful prog- ress with all the multiplying energies of this inventive and progressive age.

DEATH IN HER ARMS. Carring a Diphtheria Stricken Child ‘Through the City for Hours. Tottering under the burden of a seven- year-old child, who was helpless and suf~ fering from diphtheria, a hard-working “woman wandered through Washington for six hours yesterday, knocking at hospital doors and pleading with their keepcrs to give her dying little oné shelter and suc- cor. At every one of these places she was turned away, and at last, weak and sick herself, she turned to the police as a final resort, and in a building devoted to the confinement of the criminal classes she found what had been denied her by every elecmosynary institution in the national capital. Such is the epitome of the Sunday experience of Mrs. Isabella Plain, a colored woman, and her adopted daughter, in the city of Washington. Mrs. Plain had been employed as a do- mestic at No. 1100 G street northwest, and the child, Ida Fuller, has been boarding with Clara Ridgeley,.No. 3504 N street, because Mrs. Plain was unable io keep her at her place of service. According to her Sunday custom, Mrs. Plain went over to visit Ida yesterday morning and found her very ill. She con- cluded to remove her where she could re- ceive proper attention, and, taking the sufferer up in her arms, she took her to the Children’s Hospital, corner of 13th and W streets. Refused to Admit Her. The physicians at this institution exam- ined Ida, and upon finding that she had diphtheria, refused to allow her to remain in the hospital. Mrs. Plain inquired what she should do, The hospital authorities could not tell her. The only thing the poor creature could do was to seek for assist- ance scmewhere else, so away from the hospital she turned and wandered through the streets. She made her way to police headquarters, but the men in charge knew rothing that could be done. Mrs. Plain went back to the house where she was formerly employed, but was refused admit- tance there. Then, in desperation, she crawled to the first precinct police station, on 12th street. The ofticers were a little alarmed when the woman announced that her little one had diphtheria,but their sym- pathy for her sufferings quickly overcame any scruples they might have felt. Seating the. weman in the front office, the tele- phone was brought into requisition, and hospital after hospital was pleaded with to open its doors to the suffering child without avail. Then attempts were made to find District officials who might have author- ity sufficient to secure shelter and medical attendance for the little one. Dr. Nevitt Acts at Once.
