Next Thursday night the Alexandria branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will hold a business meeting of importance. They have recent- ly secured a charter, through Judge J. K. M. Norton of the corporation court, and after the meeting on Thursday will be réady to begin operations. The organiza- tion of this branch will be much appreciat- ed by humane Alexandrians, as cases of cruelty to dumb brutes are only too fre- quently seen on the streets. It is desired that those who have subscribed to the stock of the society will attend the meet- ing and be perpared to pay the first as- sessment, as funds are needed to carry on the work. The officers who were,’ through a mistake, elected before the charter was secured will be re-elected at Thursday's meeting. Liquor Licenses Granted. Up to the time the last legislature took the granting of liquor licenses out of the hands of Judge Chichester of the county ccurt and put it in the hands of an ex- cise board there were but very few sa- loons in the county and the liquor Wusiness Was somewhat under control. On yesterday the excise baard of the county met and granted the following licenses for the sale of liquor: Bar rooms—Milton H. Johnstone, Columbia pike.and Georgetown road; Geo. W. Woltz, oes yay Dan Cumbraugh, Chain bridge; George W. Myers, Jackson City; John Heath, Virginia shore of the Potomac above Aqueduct bridge; Elza Groves, Fort Runyon; Virginia Jockey Club, St. Asaph track; Gentlemen's Driving.Park, St. Asaph Junction, and G. M. Jones, Alexander Is- land track. Retail and bar room license— Jchn W. Clark, Rosslyn. General and Personal Notes. Mr. Julius Pelton, who has been quite sick since his fire on Sunday night, is much better today, and Dr. Wm. M. Smith, his physician, says there is now no danger of his losing his eyesight. Miss Lucy Lee, who has been visiting friends in Norfolk, has returned to her homé in this city. The remains of Mrs. Julia Jamieson were brought to this city from New Jersey yes- terday and interred in the Presbyterian cemetery. W. C. Coleman, a colored man from the fourth ward, has announced himself as a candidate for the city council. This is the first colored man to announce himself in the history of the city. He will run on the republican ticket. Sixty-six licenses to sell liquor in the city of Alexandria have been granted in the corporation court. The new licenses went into effect today. The regular monthly meeting of the Co- lumbia Fire Company will be held tonight at 8 o'clock. The board of supervisors for Alexandria county held a meeting at the old court house in this city yesterday. Only routine business was transacted. James I.

At the weekly meeting of the executive committee of the Anti-Saloon League of the District of Columbia, held Monday atfter- noon in the Washington Loan and Trust building, James L. Ewin, first vice presi- Gert, was in the chair in the absence of Rev. Dr. Wilson, the president. Discus- sion of arrangements for the proposed con- ference preliminary to a convention in this city for the organization of a national anti- salcon league was proceeded with. The fol- lowing committees were eventually ap- pointed: On invitations, Rev. L. B. Wilson, D. D.; Mrs. H. A. Gillenwater, Cavour O. Bohrer, Andrew N. Canfield and James L. Ewin; ‘on entertainment, Jesse C. Suter, Mrs. Margaret B. Platt and Mr. A. L. Swartwout; on place of meeting, Col. John Vinal, Mr. J. S. Blackford and Mr. A. E. Shoemaker. Mr. Swartwout submitted a report for the committee on arrangements for a house- to-house canvass of the District of Colum- bia in the interest of the suppression of the saloon, recommending that each organiza- tion sending representatives to the league be requested to furnish at least five can- vessers, and that the system of districting the city used by the city post office be fol- lowed. The report was adopted and the committee continued. Mr. Shoemaker submitted a report as at- tcrney of the league, and Mr. Bohrer, the corresponding secretary, reported as to ecrrespondence with state and national or- ganizations. Mr. Clayton E. Emig was requested to read a paper on the law against nuisances in the District of Columbia at the next meeting of the league, which is to be held at No. 623 Louisiana avenue Monday, May 6, at 8 p.m. Col. Vinal offered a resolution to the ef- fect that mass mectings under the au- spices of the league should be held every week, if possible, and on his motion the same was made the special order for the next meeting of the executive committee, to be held at 7:30 p.m, May 6, at 623 Louisiana avenue. ae LEGATIONS EXEMPTED. Not to Be Asked to Pay Taxes on Property. The Commissioners have canceled the special assessment against the Mexican le- gation, basing their action upon an opinion of the attorney of the District of Columbia, in which he says: “It is a general principle of modern in- ternational law that ambassadors and oth- ers, transacting diplomatic business abroad, enjoy as a class established legal rights and immunities of person and property in the governments to which they are accredited as the representatives of sovereign powers. It 1s on this principle the property of for- eign legations at this capital is exempted frora general taxes.”” Mr. Thomas says the case is different from that of the Corean legation, in refer- ence to which he advised the Commission- ers they were not exempt from the pay- ment of water rents, which are neither taxes nor assessments. es What the Brightwood Round Should Do. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Why won't the Brightwood road treat all its patrons alike? We, who come in from Montgomery county, have been consider- ately furnished with standing room on the pike while awaiting a car, and then, when we get tired, we are permitted to cross over and rest on Admiral Lee’s rail fence. But even these accommodations seem inade- quate in stormy weather, and the past five days of continuous rain have developed a disposition among us to “cut” the trolley. line and house ourselves in the commo- dious, warm and attractive station of the Baltimore and Ohio at Silver Spring. Should the threats I have heard from patrons of the Brightwood road be carried out, there would be a considerable falling off in the daily receipts of that lne. ‘The road has supplied its patrons with a slelter at the Takoma end of the line, and there is another shelter at the 7th street junction, and, while both of these buildings are suggestive of the ancient cow shed style of architecture, we at the upper end of the line would feel grateful for this much even. We think we ought to receive as much consideration, at least, as the average farmer shows his cattle. The Star has proven itself to be a powerful per- suader in all good works. Lend us thy hand! SILVER SPRING. a Scoit’s Emulsion is Cod-liver Oil emulsified, or made easy of digestion and as- similation. To this is added the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda, which aid in the digestion of the Oil and increase materially the potency of both. It is a re- markable fiesh-producer. Ema- ciated, anzemic and consumptive persons gain flesh upon it very rapidly. The combination is a most happy one Physicians recognize its su- perior merit in all conditions of wasting. It has had the en- dorsement of the medical pro- fession for 20 years. Don't be persuaded to take a substitute! > Scott & Bowne, N.Y. All Druggists. 50c. and $1, a NOT A PLAGIARISM. What Librarian Spofford Says of Du Maarier’s Book “Trilby.” Trilby, the great Trilby, that has set the fashionable world on edge and has inspired tableaux and has given names to all sorts of commodities, from a slipper to a post office; this Trilby a plagiarism? Du Maur- fer a common literary pirate? Such, in- deed, is the information that has been flashed across the country from Denver, where a sult is now being tried against a theatrical company that seeks to produce the dramatized version of Trilby without paying royalty. In answer to the complain- ing publishers they have set up the plea that Trilby was not originated, invented or written by Du Maurier, but that the original title and book were first published in France in 1820, and so have been common property for seventy-five years. As in Washington all questions relating to books and their contents,. all hard liter- ary conundrums, are referred fo Mr. Spof- ford, the’ librarian of Congress, so a Star reporter asked him this morning what he knew about the possibility of Du Maur- ler’s being a violator of the first principles of literary efforts. The’ suggestion did not startle Mr. Spofford, as he made the dis- covery while the novel was running through the pages of Harper's Magazine that as early as 1820 a gentleman called Charles Nordier published a little story, a romantic affair, called “Trilby, the Maid of Argyle.” Mr. Spofford read the old work, which had been translated into English, and found that there was not the slightest resem- blance between the old and the new Trilby, either in form, style or conception. The old Trilby is merely a short story of no special interest and contains no possible suggestion that has been apparently expanded in Du: Maurier’s popular novel. Since the Trilby craze began there has been a new transla- tion of “Trilby, the Maid of Argyle,” and an edition of the book has been put on the market in the apparent hope of catching some of the trade by the similarity of names. This is Mr. Spofford’s theory of its republication at this particular time. In- deed, there are two separate editions of the old work, which is not more than one- tenth as long as Du Maurier’s. “Mr, Du Maurier,” said Mr. Spofford to- * day, “committed no plagiarism by his use of the word “Trilby.’ An author cannot copyright a noun, an adjective or a proper name. I cannot see how the possibly ac- cidental similarity of these titles should operate to excuse the unauthorized use of the dramatized version of Trilby. The Den- ver people did not dramatize the story of ‘Trilby, the Maid of Argyle,’ but the story of Du Maurier’s Trilby. The copyright on a book covers the matter and not the title, and I can find no trace of plagiarism in the matter of Du Maurier’s work.” —— THE ANACOSTIA RAILWAY. A Conference to Be Had Between the Directors and Drivers. Messrs. L. F. Chichester, R. B. Shepherd and Peter Henderson, representing the drivers of the Anacostia Railway Company, and Mr. I. W. Gwynne, the Street Railway Union, will have a conference tonight or tomorrow with President Griswold of the railway company in reference to extending the pro rata arrangement which was enter- ed into for April so as to cover the present month. The receipts for last month were not as much as were anticipated by elther the officers of the railway company or the men, but the latter and Mr. Gwynne are convinced that Mr. Griswold has treated them with absolute fairness in the matter. The failing off of revenue is attributed to the tie-up, which, it is said, cost at least $50, the disarrangement of tracks caused by the changes in construction being made in the Metropolitan line and rainy weather. How much money there will be to divide among those entitled to it will not be known until this evening. —_——.__-. The Late Chas. M. Heaton. The funeral of Charles M. Heaton, who died at his residence, 14 Grant place, Mon- day forenoon, after a lingering illness, took place this afternoon. Mr. Heaton was born at Hamilion, Ohio, March 7, 1805, and con- sequently was ninety years, one month and twenty-two days old at the time of his death. For several years he has been growing more feeble, and for the past four months haG been confined to his bed. Not- withstanding he had been growing percep- tibly weaker for years, his intellect re- mained clear and strong until the last moment. He possessed a remarkable mem- o and would relate with particular de- tail the thrilling events and interesfing reminiscences which occurred three-quar- ters of a century ago. He removed to South Bend, Ind., in 1832, where he gon- tinued to reside until 1861, at which time he came to this city and for many years was in the departmental service of the government, and for some time was chief of the warrant division of the general land office. He was the oldest member of the Association of Old Time Telegraphers. His wife is in her eighty-sixth year, and in possession of strong mental faculties. Their three children consist of Charles M. Heaton, jr., of Takoma Park; Mrs. Mary A. Haynes and Mrs. Elizabeth Davis. Mr. Heaton was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, having joined South Bend Lodge, No. 29, in February, 1846, more than forty-nine years ago. He was also a_member of South Bend Encamp- ment, No. 2). For many years he was a prominent officer in the grand bodies of Indiana, and one of the well known en- campments is named for him. His wife was one of the number upon whom was first conferred the “Rebekah degree,” by its author, the late Schuyler Colfax, and of the original number but one other member survives with her. Mr. Heaton was also a member df the Masonic fraternity, and belonged to St. Joseph Lodge, South Bend, Ind. The funeral took place from his late residence today at 2 o'clock. The inter- ment was at Oak Hill cemetery. Rev. Dr. Johnson of Metropolitan M. E. Church and Dr. Domer of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church conducted the religious services, after which the funeral ceremonies of the Odd Fellows took place at the grave. se A Par Soctal. ‘The annual parish social of the Uni- versalist Society was held last evening in the Church of Our Father, and was large- ly attended.
