UNIFORMS AND BADGES ADOPTED Matters Considered at Meetings Held Last Night. LABOR BUREAU OFFICERS ——— The labor bureau, to which reference has been from time to time made in ‘The Star, was organized last night by the election of officers, as follaws: N. C. Sprague of the International Printing Pressmen’s Union, president; Arthur Keep of the Tailors’ As- sembly, vice president; E. J. Rea of the Eccentric Engineers, secretary, and George 0. Ceck of the Bricklayers’ Union, treas- vrer. Plans for carrying on the bureau and for the establishment of a free library in connection therewith were discussed by a number of those present, among them Mr. John Schmidt of Bakers’ Assembly, who has had experience in matters of the kind. . The following committee, to draw up a set of rules and regulations for the bu- reau, was aprointed: Messrs. J. T. Doyle, George O. Cook and Arthur Keep. The statistical committee reported that the committee expects at an -arly day to make a report which shall ..ow the nu- merical strength of all the societies of or- ganized labor in the District. The Carpenters. Final arrangements ,for the Labor day parade were made at last night's meeting of the Amalgamated Association of Car- penters and Joiners in Costello's Hall, cor- ner of 5th and G streets northwest. Tho members will wear a badge instead of a uniform. Delegates to the carpenters’ council were elected as follows: Messrs. W. H. Henson, A. Murray, R. R. Rhodes, W. A. Reed and J. D. McKay. One of the members reported that tools to the value of $5.38 had been stolen from him, and an appropriation was made, in accordance with the rules to reimburse him for his joss. The Granite Cutters. The action of the granite cutters in with- drawing their opposition to Mr, Dominick A. Walsh as a marshal in the Labor day parade, which, as stated in The Star of yesterday, took place at the meeting of the Labor day conference Sunday, made necessary a special meeting of the Granite Cutters’ Association, which was held last night. As the matter as settled Sunday was satisfactory to all interested, the gran- ite cutters rescinded their resolution re- fusing to march in the parade, and de- termined to turn out in full strength on that day. Mr. Patrick O'Day was elected marshal for the occasion. The Bricklayers. A special meeting of Bricklayers’ Union was held last night to consider Labor day matters, and espectally relating to a uni- form to be worn by the members in the parade. There was considerable debate on this subject, but no conclusion was reached, and it was finally determined to appoint a committee, consisting of Messrs. Frank McAuliffe, C. C. Hessier, Frank Burgden, W. H. Maghan ani J. B. Dowell, to take the matter under consideration and to re- port at a meeting, to be held Friday even- ing. The bricklayers will parade whether they wear uniforms or not. The Plasterers. The Journeymen Plasterers, Knights of Labor, held a largely attended meeting at their hall last night and awarded a con- tract for uniforms to be worn in the Labor day parade to Messrs. Saks & Co. This will consist of white hat and trousers and a blue serge coat. There was some discussion over a prop- osition to amend the constitution so as to reduce the Initiation fee, but the motion was defeated. Carriage and Wazon Makers. Nine new members were elected and in- itlated at a special mecting of the Carriage and Wagon Makers’ Assembly, which was held last night. The assembly indorsed the action of the Federation of Labor in plaz- ing the Eckington road and its branches on the unfair list. Labor Day Fr=parations. The principal business before the Plas- terers’ Lathers at their meeting last night was the consideration of the kind of uni- form to be worn in the Labor day parade, ard the following was selected: Duck pants, white hats, black tles, while each man will carry a Irth. The contract for the uniforms was awarded to Willlam Gar- ner, One new member was Initiated. Mr. W. B. Chrisman was last night elected by the Bakers’ Drivers as their marshal for the Labor day parade. Mr. Chrisman appointed Messrs. Frank Hayes and G. W. Nairn as his aids. The secre- tary was authorized to purchase an Amer- fean flag to be carried in the prozesston. On the morning of the parade there will be a roll call of the assembly at ‘ o'clock, and any member who fails to answer to his name will be fined $4. Labor day preparations formed the topic of discussion at the meeting last night of Local Union, No. 190, Carpenters, at their hall, No. 627 Massachusetts avenue north- west. The following uniform was deter- mined upon: Dark clothes, with black hat, and each member to carry a staff, from the end of which a small United States flag will float. The music question, which has been the subject of some feeling, was set- tled, and the union will have a band in the parade, It was announced that a special meeting of the unton will be held Saturday night to consider matters of a very impor- tant character. For a Worthy Object. Interest In the proposed excursion on La- bor day for the benefit of the widows of the two cornice makers who were killed some weeks ago by the falling of a scaffold is rapidly extending among the members of the societies of organized labor, and there is now every reason to believe that the affair will be a great success. The committee in charge has secured the prom- ise of the base ball teams of the Washing- ton Light Infantry and the bureau of en- graving and printing to play a match game during the day at Marshall Hall, to which place the excursion is to be given, as a part of the entertainment program. The game will be in charge of Mr. A. A. Sousa, presi- dent of the Departmental League. The teams will be composed as follows: Bureau graving and Printing—Sernard, pitch- ch, catcher; Dove, first base; Madi- gan, second base; McCauley, short stop; Leach, third base; Flaherty, left field; Crop- ley, ter field; Farrell, right field. Wash- ington Light Infantry—Wise, pitcher; Gll- Toy, catcher; Stewart, first base; Winkle- man, second base; Lee, short stop; Wisner, third base; Kleinschmidt, left field; Heyd- ler, center field; Shrieve, right field. SSS Attempted Robbery. Mrs. Mary E. Chase of No. 1348 4% street southwest had an exciting time on the Bladensburg road yesterday, when a young colored man made an attempt to rob her. She was with her daughter, and they were out visiting at the time. When they were near «Mount Olivet cemetery the colored man grabbed at her pocketbook, and there Was a tussle, but the highwayman did not accomplish his design. Cries of “Help!” wer. responded to by citizens and Police- man Cook, but the colored man released his bold on Mrs. Chase and escaped. Last evening the police arrested a colored man named Blair. on suspicion, but as he proved to bo innocent he was released. —_->—_—_ $1.23 To Baltimore and Return. $1.25 The Pennsylvania railroad will sell, Satur- day, August 31, and Sunday, September 1, geod returning until Monday, September 2, excursion tickets to Baltimore at rate of $1.25.—Advt. ——— Extra for Labor Day.

Academy of Music.—The first of the regu- lar theaters to open for the season was the Academy of Music, which threw open its dcors last night to present the Cleveland Minstrels as an attraction. The interior has been freshened up with paint and hand- some new carpeting adorns the floors. The audience was large and enthusiastic, and the entertainment presented fully justified the continuous applause it received. Cleve- land’s Minstrels are a combination of the burnt cork and the genuine variety, and all the work is of a good order. The comedians are funny, and most of their jokes had the merit of freshness. There were fewer of the antiquated variety than usual. Both the ballad and quartet singing was excellent, and every number was cn- cored. The comic songs were fetching, and Burt Shepard, J. Marcus Doyle and John H. Blackford, ‘the coon from Arkansaw,” of the white contingent, and S. E. Burton, George Titchner and Daniel Palmer of the dusky crowd furnished a good amount of amusement. ~ The conclusion of the first part js a fun- ny sketch, in which Messrs. Dicken, Shep- ard and Blackford participated. The ollo was varied and interesting, including a sketch, “Danger Alley Ball,” which intro-~ duced buck and sand dancing by genuine @arkies; the “Upside-down Wonder,” Wm. De Boe, whose work on the trapeze Js re~ markable; a troupe of Arabian athletes, whose tumbling, leaping, gun twirling, sword combats and building of human pyramids were loudly applauded; a well- executed competitive drill between white and colored teams; Burt Shepard in a funny monologue; Marion and Pearl in a comic knockabout act, and a troupe of Jap- anese jugglers, who equal any similar company ever seen here. The performance concludes with a “‘Trilby”” burlesque, with Wm. Henry Rice in the title role, which is extremely funny. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—There is but this to say by way of criticism of George W. Turner's Vaudevilles, which opened at Kernan's last night. Barring the miserable fistie exhtbition of Mike Leonard the show is one of the best ever seen at Kernan’s, Many of the features are new, and all of the ‘specialties first-class. .O'Brien © and Buckley open with a clever black-face musical act, and are followed by Willian and Leigh, who execute in bare feet the Trilby dance in a most artistic manner. Florence Miller made a hit with her songs and her kouta-kouta dance. Marion and Marion contributed a neat acrobatic song and dance and won new laurels. These artists never tire of originating ideas, and as the college athletes they were excellent. The Emmetts in their original and highly entertaining sketch, “Any Old Thing,” were duly recognized, and Magee and Crimmins did a laughable sketch. Miss Alice Gilmore sang “The Band Played On” and received a triple encore. Little Lillian Emmett prov ed a child wonder, and the Quaker City Quartet had no trouble singing themselves into favor. The enjoyment of the evening, however, was marred by the exhibition of Mike Leonard, the “Beau Brummel” of the manly art. As a poser and a bag puncher he will do very well, but not as a boxer, Judging by last night's exhibition. Howard Wilson for $10 agreed to go on for a friend- ly bouts for points. It was evident from the start that Leonard intended to knock his man out as soon as possible, and Wil- son realizing this, did his best. ‘In the es- timation of good judges Leonard’s methods of sparcing were not entirely fair, and the sympathies of the audience were with the local man. The pollee interfered before the close of the second round. —_——__ EXCURSIONS. The second annual excursion of the Young Men's Catholic Ciub of Gonzaga College was given yesterday ut River View. It ts estimated that fully two thousand people were on the excursion and enjoyed the cool breezes of River View and the sucisty of the energetic young men who compose the organization Dancing was «cntinued until a late hour, and other attractions filled up the time at the popul:.r resort. Capt. Ran- dall did eyerything in his power to afford the excursionists a good time, and he suc- ceeded so admirably that he received a ununimous vote of thanks from all present. An excursion will be given this evening on the stean tacalester to Marshall Hall by the three boat clubs of this city—the Analostan, Columbia Athletic and Poto- mac—to defray the expenses of the recent regatta. The outing is to be under the management of the combined ciubs, and every effort has been and will be made to make the affair a complete success, tinan- cially as well as socially. The bills of the regatta for incidentials and necessaries were quite large, and the commitiee in charge has taken this means of trying to settle them. The tournament and grand dress ball which is to be held at Marshall Hall to- Morrow, day and evening, premises to be one of ‘the most notable alfuirs that has occurred on the river for quite a while. The tournament will be held on tie green lawns and the dance m the evening will occupy the two new pavilions. It is expected that the record for attendance al this popular resort will be hroken, and great prepara- tions have been imude to afford every one the very best time possible. The knights will begin the touraament et noon, end will tilt for the honor of crowning tne Queen of Love and Beauty, and incidentally win- ning the prizes which will be given to the victor. The entrance fees of the contest- ants, with $75 added thereto, will be dl- vided among the successful riders as a sort of incentive to make them do their best. Residents of Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia are expected to attend avd participate in the festivities. Entries to the tournament have been made from all these places, and the list includes some of the best riders in this part of the coun- try, thus insuring a close and spirited con- test. A handsome souvenir program has heen gotten up, which will be presented to ladies on the steamers. Every possible care will be taken of the comfort of the guests. Seats will be provide at the tovrnament for the ladies, and every convenience von- ducive to pleasure and ease will be looked The orator of the day wiil be L. Allison Wilmer, while Robert Crain will perform the functions of that office in the evening. Dancing will take place all day and evening, so that those who desire that form of amusement may be accommodated. All boats which leave Washington will stop at points en route to Marshall Hall for the accommodation of those living near the Hall who have no other means of trans- pertation. The Macalester and River Queen will be used for the transportation of pas- sengers from Washington, leaving at 9:30 and 10 a.m., 2:30, 5 and 6:45 p.m. The musle will be by Schroeder’s excellent orches ‘The dining hall will have an extra c workers, and the best fare will be given that is possible. Nelson Division, No. 2, U. R. K. of P., will give an excursion to the Loudoun coun- ty agricultural fair at Leesburg tomorrow, a special train leaving the Pennsylvania rallréad depot at 9 am. Tne round trip is $1.45, which includes admission to the fair, an all sir knights who are goilg are ox- pected to report in full uniform. The fast-flying steamer Sam'l J. Pentz will leave at 945 Thursday morning for Chapel Point on one of the popular trips to that beautifal spot. The Pentz at Alexandria and leave there at 10: giving the people of that place an tunity to take a day off and enjoy them- selves. The advantages of Chapel Point as a pleasure ground are unexcelled in a natural way, and artifical means have heen employed to'such an extent that the place is a veritable paradise in hot weather. Salt water bathing, fishing and crabbing may be had in abundance, while all the popular sports and dancing may be enjoyed «ll day long. The return home is made at a sea- sonable time, and as Capt. Randall will personally superintend the outing its suc- cess is assured. Tomorrow will be the Jast Wednesday of the season at popular River View. The season which is just closing has been the most successful in the history of the plice, and the management is entirely satisfied with the support which the public has given {t. Special attractions have been rro- vided for tomorrow, and the last Wednes- day at River View will close in a happy and entertaining way. ——— Died Suddenly. Georgiana Bryan, a colored woman, died suddenly last evening at the residence of Frederick Wilson, 131 Carroll street south- east, where she was employed as a ser- vant. The coroner decided that death was due to spasmodic asthma. ag erne Small Fire Creates Great Excitement. A fire in the waste paper room in the Treasury Department building late yes- terday afternoon brought out the fire de- partment of the city and caused somo ex- citement, but no further damage than the destruction of a little waste paper.

LIQUOR TIHE CAUSE Brought Most of Tedsy's Prisoners Into Court, eee The Stories Told Before Judge Scott and the Sentence» Imposed—Per- sonal Bomis Taken. Judge Scott had the dion'’s share of the Police Court cases teday, and fully twenty of the twenty-eight ‘prisoners in the tolls were in the District procession. Included in this number was Cora Powell, a colored girl, whose blue dress and flowery hat gave her the appearance of springtime. Cora dressed tn her best suit of clothes last evening and went down the river. It was late when she returned, and when she reached Q street she separated from her male companion, and then Policeman Ellis arrested her. “It was 1 o'clock this morning when I arrested her,” said the policeman. “She was with a man, and was very disorderly.” “Was she sober or drunk?” the court in- quired. “Drunk,” the policeman answered, “and I had to drag her all the way to the box.” “I wasn’t drunk and disorderly,” said Cora. “I had been down the river, and the policeman arrested me for nothing. This is my first offense and you can’t find my name on any court records in the United States.” ‘Where is the man?” the judge asked the officer. “He got away, and I didn’t arrest him,” the policeman answered. “What's the man’s name?” “Lloyd Fowler,” the girl answered. “And,” she added, “I’ve been locked up all night for nothing. “Take her personal bonds.” James Jackson, a tall‘colored man, who does laboring work for a living, was next in line, and the charge against him was ob- structing an alley with his person, “Was this man drunk?” Judge Scott in- quired. “He was very drunk,” the officer swered, “and had to be lifted into the wagon. “I don’t remember what happened,” said Jackson, and the judge told him !f he kept sober he would remember. A fine of $5 was imposed, and Jackson paid the fine. Took a Bath. Charles Turner, a hard-working colored boy, whose home is in Georgetown, does not enjay the lvxury of a bath room in his house, and so he went down to the river last evening to take a bath. And Policeman Birkight arrested him. “Why don't you go to the bathing beach when you want to take a bath?” Mr. Pugh asked the bo: “Because it’s too far to go when I get through werk,” was his response. “What made you go in the river near Georgetown?” “It's near home, there.” He was fined $1 or three days. The next boy called was Mason Leary, anf the judge questioned him about his failure to keep clean. “I pays 50 cents a month for my wash- ing,” said the boy, who probably does not go in the river for the reason that the law is against 1t and he fears arrest. Mason was charged with being a suspi- cious person because he was found in a house on Pomeroy street last night. “I had a right to go in there,” he said, “because the lady who owns it said I could.” “Then why did you break in the front way?” “I didn’t break in.” “Why didn’t you go through the back yard?” “There ain't no back yard to the house.” The lttle boy’s perscnal bonds were taken. A young man who was found drunk on the street ebout 1 o'clock this morning was in the tolls under the name of Charles Clark, “I don’t remember what happened last night,” he told the court. * “He was’ dead drunk and I found him ly- ing across the sidewalk on 9th street,” was the policeman’s complaint against him. “Five dollars cr fifteen days. “Judge,"’ interrupted the young man, “can’t you take my personal bonds this time? Why should I take your bonds?” “Tf Iam sent down I'll lose my work.” He was released. Followed the Procession, Marion White, a colored man, who was arrested for following a procession last night, plead not guilty when arraigned, and Policeman Barbee made complaint against him. “He was drunk,” the policeman sald, “and was disorderly, but he’s otherwise a very good man, and I would suggest that his personal bonds be taken.” “I wasn’t drunk,” said the man, “I was following the drum corps, and when they Played a laughing piece, I laughed with the others and got arrested.” “What Kind of a piece was the corps playing?” “A laughing piece. When the band stop- ped playing the members of the club would laugh.” “The officer says you are a good man and I'll do as he requeste: Wesley Patterson and William Tibbets, colored boys, were tu the procession be- cause they were found sleeping in a house. “My _mother told me not to come home when I was out late,” said Patterson, ‘“‘and that’s the reason I was in this house.” “That's a very good rule,” remarked the court, “and it would be a good thing if more mothers made it.” Tibbets’ excuse was that his folks were away and he was locked out. ce you working boys?” the court ask- ed. “Yes, sir.”” “Where do you work?” “We work for Pat Maloney.” They were released on their personal bonds. 5 Fiwe white and colored men brought up the rear of the procession. They were charged with vagrancy because they wgre found sleeping in a car in the Richmond and Danville yard. They were given ten days each. an- and other boys go POOF SISOS LC IOSE SESE SE SOC CSS Hot Days Take the life out of the Blood, and weaken ‘The whole System.

Virginia Wants the District to Pay Some Expenses. W. B. Ralley, a Virginin justice of the peace, addressed to Sanitary Officer Frank i this city a communication, which was received yesterday afternoon, and which poet amusing to the sanitary officer. ‘he communication is as follows: August 23, 1895. colored, a waiter in lownship sick without Hugh Dennis Hor 2 hotel, is ney in my any means of support and somewhat de. mented in mind. ‘ashington has been his home for many years. Please send for him at once prepared to pay all expenses to date of coming. He has been here about four weeks. If I am forced te send him back by your inattention ‘to this request it will cost your city more than it would if he were sent for—see code of Virginia, 1887. He can travel now, but if the matter ts delayed it may be that he cannot. By prompt atten- tion you will save your city unnecessary expense. = RAILEY, ~ __, Moorman’s River, Albemarle co., Va. P. S.—Nearest station, Mechum’s River, C. and O. railroad. When Sanitary Officer Frank first read the letter, he *was not certain whether it was intended as a joke or not. Acting under the impression that it was sent in good oie he addressed the justice the following reply: W. B. Railey, esq.: Sir—Yours of the 23d fristant, referring to Hugh D. Howard, forwarded to me. In answer I have to say that there is a pen- alty attached to bringing such characters as you speak of into this city. Very re- spectfully, J. A. FRANK, Sanitary Officer, Metropolitan Police. This is not the first time the apparent game of bluff has been attempted on the authorities here, but the Virginia people misjudge their man when they send such documents to Mr. Frank. He certainly will not send for the man in the old dominion, but if the man should be sent here, he will be charitable enough to give him proper treatment. Sanitary Officer Frank would be glad to see the laws relating to paupers enforced. Last year 170 Virginians were cared for at the hospitals here at the ex- pense cf the District, and a large number of them were furnished transportation to their homes. It is perhaps needless to say that no further attention will be paid to the communication. ———— PERPETUAL MOTION. An Application for a Patent Filed. Dr. G. W. Nelson of Clay Hill, Md., has filed application for a patent for a per- petual motion device. The office usually sends out a printed letter advising the per- petual motion applicant that “the views of the office coincide with those of scientists in general in regard to mechanical per- petual motions—that they are impossibill- ties. Should your application be pressed, the first official action would be the re- quirement of a working model—the office being aware that it will be impossible for yeu to comply with this requirement.” Such applications are uniformly returned. Dr. Watson's device will have a similar fate. Once before the war a patent was inadvertently issued cn a perpetual motion machine, but the strain was too great to admit of any further action in the same direction. —_——. A Suicide’s Brother. William A. Peters arrived in this country from Holland a few days ago, and yester- day afternoon he reached this city, and made inquiries concerning his brother, Theodore Peters, who was a coachman, and learned that the latter had committed suicide here about three weeks ago. De- tective Gallaher made an investigation for him, and learned that a silver watch was the only thing left by the dead man. His brother sent him $250 only a few weeks be- fore his sad ending, but he had spent this, and there was nothing to his credit in the local bank where he had had an account. Sas Fell Of the Porch. Mr. Lawton, the lawyer, yesterday while sitting on the railing of his front porch at 1143 24th street in some way lost his balance, keeled over backward and fell to the ground.

A suffrage meeting held in the Mount Pisgah Church, 10th and R streets north- west, last night was called to order by Mr. Henry Hutton, one of the officials of the church. Mr. Thomss L. Jones, the first speaker, claimed that the people here were oppressed and aggrieved, and they pro~ posed to appeal to liberty-loving people everywhere to help them obtain the right of American citizenship. It was, he sald, no more harmful to permit the citizens to vote at the seat of national authority than it would be in the capital of a state where the legislature meets for the enactment of Jaws. There were some, he sald, who op- posed the suffrage movement in the Di trict of Columbia for fear of negro supre- macy. This objection, he declared, absurd. I venture the assertion,” the speaker sald, “that if the negro were in the ma- icrity in the District he would do as he has always done—give the white men the Pest laces, while he took the subordinate e In concluding, he urged his hearers to agitate until they had aroused the Ameri- ean people to the righteousness of their cause, to the end that thev will elect men to Congress who ave favorable to the res- toration of the right of suffrage to “the oppressel and outraged people of the Dis- trict of Columbia.” At the conclusion of Mr. Jones’ address, Mrs. Etta J, Webster, a prominent colored woman, was introduced. She said she thought the people of the District were sub- jected to much injustice and wrong doing, and to that end she was in favor of the res- teration of the right of suffrage to the peo- ple here. She thought this was the panacea for all the evils to which the people of the District are subjected. She said she was Present because she wanted to snow that she was not a coward, and that any course in which she was interested she was not afraid to “own its cause or blush to speak sts name. The next speaker, Mr. Richard Laws, de- clared that the people here were in earnest about the right of suffrage. The last speaker was Col. Perry Carson, who briefty told why he favored suffrage, and said that he believed in a thorough cr- genization to that end. He made a proposi- tion, which was adopted, that a large meet- ing be held next Monday evening, and that @ permanent organization will be effected in that locality.
