AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Preparing for the Opening of the Bath- ing Beach. Dangerous Bridge Across the Canal— Many Local Notes From Across Rock Creek. Officer D. J. Cotter left this precinct this morning for his old post at the bathing beach. The entire appropriation of $1,000 for maintenance will be used in making im- provements. One hundred new bath houses are under construction, and considerable grading is being done. Fifty of the new bath houses will be for the use of the ladies who patronize the beach. ~ Everything points to a big season of swimming at Su- perintendeht Stevens’ place. Dangerous Bridge. Canal road travelers say the bridge across the college pond is dangerous. The hand rails are louse and waggling, and need but a little force to knock them over. Contact with them at night would mean injuries. Over the bridge's sides are rocks. The pre- cinct authorities will report the bridge’s condition to headquarters. Base Ball. The Young Eagles of Georgetown de- feated the Hamiltons yesterday by a score of 18 to 6 The feature of the game was the battery work of Guy and Goodwin and the field work of the Eagles. Pitcher Guy struck out twenty men in the nine innings played. ‘The second team of the Eagles defeated the Young Cracker Jacks by a score of 19 to 8. The pitching of Gosnell and the catching of Hilleary was the most effective work of the game. The third team of the Eagles have de- feated the Potomacs by a score of 9 to 0. Challenges to first, second and third teams received by James W. Goodwin, 3238 Prospect street. Faith His Text. The Rev. Mr. Fulton of Baltimore preach- ed yesterday at the Dumbarton Street Church on “Faith in Go The effort was regarded by old parishioners as one of the most able sermons ever delivered in Georgetown.

Notes. ‘Tuesday there will be a literary and musi- cal program presented at the Lutheran Church here under the direction of a com- mittee, of which Mr. Otto H. Fischer is chairman. This will be the first affair of its kind that has been given by the Luther- ans here in many years. A basketful of homing pigeons were yes- terday set at liberty on the Aqueduct bridge, and they struck out without kesi- tation in a direction satisfactory to their liberators. Yesterday's flock will partici- ate in a match this week with birds of like proclivities. The United Order of Junior American Mechanics met yesterday afternoon at the Tenleytown Baptist Church :o Isten to a sermon by the Rev. G. W. McCullough.

Charges Partisan Selfishness. ‘To the Editor of ‘The Evening Star: In your editorial Friday evening respect- ing the placing of the government printing office under the civil service law you do justice to the large number of persons who have since the advent of the present public printer been dismissed from employment in that bureau. For honesty, sobriety and ability they were the peers of their suc- cessors, and the constant efforts of Mr. Benedict to discredit them are unworthy of his high position and scandalous to the last degree. Whether or not’ the pres2nt movement be successful, it will not be’ for- gotten that its animus was the very an- tithesis of the true spirit of civil service re- form; that its purpose is to shield a body of partisans who organized to hunt down republicans, fellow workmen in that great establishment; that this organization was itself a violation of the princ:ples embodied in the civil servy%e law as interpreted by the President of the United States, and now the parties to that violation hope to profit by it. This is the substance of the thing after analysis, and the question is, will the President yield himself to aid the scheme? In its present aspect the beneficiaries will be men, very largely at least, who pursued and persecuted those who differed from them politically, who established a politi- cal test, which they mercilessly applied and against which the victim might in yain urge competency and faithfulness. The sudden zeal for civil service reform of these members of the Interstate Democratic As- soc.ation and its actual head, the present public printer, will be measured in due time by “one having authority.” EX-EMPLOYE. More Senatorial Election Cases. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your comments on the Delaware con- test for a United States Senator you rightly diagnose the effect of the snarl on the senatorial mind and oratorical capacity. Let me ask if there is not another case that will fill gaps, if any exist, in the so-called debates of that body. Judge Goff has just decided that all of the election laws of South Carolina enacted since 1878 are un- constitutional. Mr. Tillman, whose term began on March 4 last, was eiected by a legislature elected under one of these un- constitutional laws. When he comes for- ward to be sworn in by the Vice President, when the Senate meets in December, will not Senator Chandler ask that he stand aside for an investigation of his right to a Is it not almost certain tbat Senator , elected in like manner by a legisla- ture of a doubtful constitutional character, be also investigated? ‘The failure to elect in Delaware would deprive the republicans of a chance to reorganize the Senate, but this would be offset if ‘Tillman is kept out. The heaviest minds in che Scnate will have food for thought and expression during the next session, at least. GORDON, —-.—— They Denounce Waring. At a regular mesting of Burnside Post, G. A. R., held the 9th instant, a resolution was adopted declaring “that the recent characterization of the Grand Army of the Republic and its members by Col. George E. Waring, commissioner of street sweep- ing of the city of New York, as given in the newspaper press, is unfounded, ap- parently malgnant in spirit, and at once insulting and inexplicable, when we re- member that he was our comrade in arms.” The resolution called on Mayor Strong for Waring’s resignation. — Sent to the Asylum. Walter C. Dutrow, a young man who lives at F street northeast, was sent to the insane asylum yesterday. He for- merly lived in Oklahoma, and last week he was on the streets here endeavoring to imitate cowboys.

Academy of Music.—The Hinrichs Opera Company gave “Ernani” Saturday night with great spirit, those particularly deserw ing mention being Sigs. Campanari and Michelena. The former's aria at the close of the third act, and the sextet and chorus which formed the finale, were so excellent- ly given that after two curtain calls it was obliged to be repeatéd. Mme. Van Cauteren waS the “Elvira” and received deserved applause for .her rendition of the well- known aria in the first act. The most suc- cessful of all the operas that have been presented by this company, however, was “The Barber of Seville,” which was sung with a spirit and smoothness that amply rewarded the largest audience of the sca- son. The opera is in a lighter mood than any of the others done so far, and the com- pany seemed in a certain way to share the enthusiasm of the audience over the change. Mme. Van Cauteren sang well, and Viviani gave the role of the eccentric music master a touch of the same delight-+ ful unction that he throws into his Me- phisto. Del Papa sang the role of the Count in a manner which pleased, and Campanari was hailed with unbounded en- thusiasm in the part of Figaro. One of the most gratifying performances in the cast was that of Sig. Maina as Dr. Bartolo. He sang with animation and correctness and acted with a true appreciation of ihe re- quirements of the part. He received quite an ovation when he first appeared and his excellent work was well applauded. Georgetown Orchestra.—The last concert of the Georgetown Orchestra this season will be given at Metzerott Music Hall next Friday evening. This body of musicians is the largest and best of its kind in the District, and its programs always appeal to the cultivated musical taste. It has al- enjoyed the generous support of the Washington public, and there is no reason to believe that there will be any lack of response to its appeal now. Director Rakemann has prepared a program that cannot fail to please, and the rehearsals indicate that the work of the orchestra will be fully up to the high standard it ras for years maintained. The soloists will be Miss Anita Cluss, harpist, and Miss Mary Helen Howe, soprano. The seats, which are on sale at Metzerott’s music store, ure be- ing rapidly taken, and the indications are that the attendance will be very large. The Strollers Tonight.—It is probable that there will be a big turn out of society peo- ple and other lovers of good theatricals at National Rifles’ Armory this evening on the occasion of the presentation by the Strol- lers of New York of a double bill, “Mother- in-Law” and “Raspberry Shrub, Sec.” ‘The Strollers is the name of one of the best known dramatic organizations in the m tropolis, and wherever they have played they received the highest encomiums for their work. They gave an intial perform- ance at the Grand Opera House last Friday afternoon, and scored a decided success. Both the plays are humorous and laughable in the extreme, and the merit of the per- formance should of itself be sufficient to attract a large audience this evening, quite apart from the fact that the performance is for the benefit of so popular and deserv- ing an object as the Emergency Hospital. The price of admission has been placed at $1, and at that figure there should be a large audience on hand when the curtain rises. A Colonial Ball.—The May fete, at the Washington Light Infantry Armory, was brought to a glorious end by an old-fashion- ed colonial ball Saturday evening. The music was by the Marine Band, and the program embraced dances which were in vogue in the days long gone by. Reels, waltzes and old-style square sets were in- dulged in by both the belles of this genera- tion and those of a past one, every one en- tering into the spirit of the occasion with the greatest amount of zest. The guests were received by the cabinet ladies near the flower booth, being assisted by the ladies of the colonial committee. Mrs. Car- lisle, Mrs. Lamont, Miss Morton, Mrs. Bar- rett, Mrs. Olney and Mrs. Wilson were among the party, while the colonial com- mittee was composed of Mrs. Rosa Wright- Smith, Miss Ann Randolph Ball, Mrs. Roberdeau Buchanan, Mrs. Mary Ross Banks, Mrs. W. H. Owen, Mrs. L. P. Black- burn, Mrs. Coleman, Mrs. John M. Wilson, Mrs. William D. Cabell, Miss Sarah Lips- comb, Mrs. A. A. Lipscomb, Mrs. Philip Philip, Mrs. Edgar Thompson, Mrs. William H. Baldwin and Mrs. John Boyd Tilford. The room was decorated with the stars and stripes in addition to the original trim- mings, while palms and ferns were inter- mingled with great quantities of bunting in a highly artistic fashion. The ball formed a fitting close to the May fete. Mr. Waggaman’s Art Gallery.—Nearly five hundred people visited Mr. Thomas B. Waggaman’s art gallery Saturday, whic was open to the public for the benefit of the Teachers’ Annuity and Aid Association. The gallery was open from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m., and the room was nearly always filled with those who had come to admire the handsome works of art which fill the gal- ery. May Ball at the Opera House.—The feat- ures of the May bal! given by the Miss Minnie and May Hawke at the Gran Opera House Saturday right were the large audience, the beautiful children, the artis- tie dancing and the floral display. The chairs comprising the front row of the orchestra were entirely taken up with flowers. The evening's entertainment open- ed with the crcwning of the May que: Miss Gertrude Blue. Miss May Belle Owen was maid of hcnor, Baby Burdine, crown bearer; Master Willie Orme, herald, and Masters Willie Collier and Raymond Jones, pages. An English country dance, a rustic danee and May pole dance followed, con- cluding with a pretty tableau, the chil- dren being grouped around the lay pole. Then came the dance of the flowers, Mi Miriam Stoddart and Mis Pauline Bliss doing solo dancing with great grace. The nexi dance, the four seasons, was some- thing new and pretty, the queen of sea- sons, Miss Annie Keene, doing the solo work and was enthusiastically applauded. A scene in fairyland introduced a little tot, Miss Helen Durnin, who danced with exceptional grace and received much ap- plause. The march of the amazons ¥ led by Miriam Stoddart. In the sailor bal- let the boys were in the majority, although several pretty misses heiped to round out the dance. Master Willie Collier was the soloist of this dance, and at its conclusion he was presented with a stand of flowers that was too large for him to carry and also a handsome gold medal. An elaborate court scene followed, the minuet being danced by the little folks in faultless style, the soloist of this number, Miss Nellie Barrett, giving La Directorate with grace and precision. The dances of all nations followed, each separate number therein be- ing enthusiastically applauded. It was al- most midnight when the grand march of nations began, and the evening's entertain- ment was concluded with a beautiful tab- leau, the Goddess of ‘Liberty occupying the center of the stage, with the entire school grouped artistically around her. Prof. James H. Vermilya was the master of ceremonies. Testimonial Lecture.—Rev. M. B. Chap- man, D. D., of Trinity Church, Baltimore, will deliver a lecture at Mt. Vernon Place Church, corner of 9th and K streets north- west, tomorrow evening. The-lecture is a testimonial one to the choir leader of the church, and the subject will be “Pyramids, Mummies and Pharachs.” It will be given under the auspices of the board of ctew- ards and a large attendance is expected, as Dr. Chapman is a highly entertaining speaker, his subject giving him full scope to display his powers in that line. A Baptist Excursion.—An excursion will be given tomorrow to Colonial Beach for the benefit of those who are now attending the Baptist convention and who may wish to sce a part of the historic Potomac. The new steamer City of Richmond will leave her wharf, foot of 6th street, at 10 a.m., returning ‘at the pleasure of the part ‘The trip is a long one and gives full op portunity to see some of the prettiest scenery on this famous river, and as the beat is new and fitted up in the most ele- gant style those who avall themselves of this opportunity will be treated in the best manner possible. ——.——_.

Deckman de- livered addresses. “Evils of Drink” was the subject of an interesting address by Miss Wilson, the blind deaconess, at a meeting held yester- day afternoon at Union M. E. Church, un- der the auspices of the Loyal Temperance Union. Mrs. S. M. Wescott, treasurer of the District W. C. T. U., was present, and gave interesting object lessons of the inju- rious effects of the use of alcoholic stimu- lants. An important meeting of District Lodge, No. 3, I. O. G. T., presided over by District Chief Tempiar E. A. Shoemaker, was held in Elks’ Hall Saturday night, at which it was decided to employ the aid of a weekly newspaper, which will be established, and open-air meetings during the coming sum- mer in an effort to do successful battle against the Hquor traffic. Encouraging gains in membership during the past quar- ter were reported. It is proposed to estab- lish two or more public libraries and read- ing rooms, where Good Templer literature may always be found, Perseverance Lodge initiated four new members at its last meeting, and_arrange- ments arc being made to celebrate its fif- teenth anniversary next Saturday evening. ———— Development of Civil Service Reform. To the Editor.of The Evening Star: The civil service law has been on the statute book something like a dozen years. ‘That it is a good law few men—other than “heelers” or political hangers-on—will deny. Yet there ure some good peopie who think, and so expre: that the whole business is a farce. Now, I submit that the only trouble is that the law does not go far enough. It prevents the selection of certain men for certain places, and that is about all it accomplishes. It removes the former incentive to discnarges, to “make room” for “strikers,” who had to be provided for at the publie crib. But why cannot its scope be broadened? Why not control the matter of promotions? Why not prevent the dis- charge of any public servant except for cause, which cause should be candidly stated and clearly established. Then we would not witncss a repetition of the shame- less wholesale reductions, of the many wan- ton discharges of worthy employes, which has characterized the present administra- tion. Of course, I know it is idle to expect anything of the kind from a President who keeps such as Recorder Taylor in office; but it may be tim to begin agitation for 1 thoroughly reform. AUGUST DONATH. May 13, 1895, rd Amphion Glee Club Election. The Amphion Glee Club elected the fol- lowing officers to serve during the year ending May 3, 1896: Mr. Jacob B. Walker, president; Mr. Frank B.
