How to Caneel Its Indebtedness and Inerease Its Efficiency. At the last meeting of the general synod, held at Hagerstown, Md., In June last, an apportionment of five cents per member was laid, which will amount to about $8,- 300. With this it is proposed to cancel an indebtedness now held against the first cot- tage built for the Lutheran Home for the Aged, and with the remainder either make an extension to this cottage, or commence the erection of another, Mr. and Mrs. Bren- zinger of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, South Washington, are in charge of the Home, and everything !s in first-class or- der, owing to their good management. At | present there is a lady at the Home, a member of St. John’s Church, South Wash- ington, a Mrs. Christina Johnson, who has nearly reached her ninetieth year. She is quite active for her age, and yesterday walked from the Home to the adjoining farm and back again, a distance of about half a mile, and, as she stated to a reporter of The Star, did not feel any bad effects from it She was very enthusiastic in ber praise of the Home and management. —_—_—._—_ Result of a Satarday Night Raid. Bessie Berry’s house of fll fame on 1% street was raided Saturday night by Pol! man Kilmartin and others, because thr girls from Hagerstown were found in her house. The girls appeared very young, al- though they sald they were of the lezal age, eighteen years. When the raid was made several other women were found there, but no men. When the case was calied im the Police Court this morning Lawyer Campbell Carrington appeared for Fer and entered a plea of guilty. In entering this plea counsel made an carnest effort to get his client off on acme, instead of a jail sentence, and in this ef- fort he succeeded, for Judge Mills impos21 a fine of $50 or sixty days. The fine was paid. UNITEDGERMANY The Event to Be Celebrated in This} Gity Tonight, FRANOD-GERMAN’ “WAR VETERANS They Commemorate the Surrender of ‘Sedan. A LIST OF HEROES The great interest felt by the Germans of Washington generally in the celebration to- night at Bricklayers’ Hall of the twenty- fifth anniversary of the unification of the fatherland renders it certain that the event will be one that will be long remembered by those who shall be present. As heretofore stated in The Siar, the program is under the auspices of the Asso- ciation of Veterans of the Franco-German Dr. war, a society which was recently organ- ized here. Previous to the hour, § o’ciock, for the exercises to commence the veterans will assemble in one of the smaller rooms of the building and there remain until after the avdience shall have become entirely seated. Arrival of the Veterans. After an overture by Nacker’s Orchestra, President R. Saur of the United German Societies of Washington will deliver a short A. Strack, address. At the conclusion of Mr. Saur's remarks, the veterans, headed by their president, Dr. Strack, will march into the hall and proceed to seats reserved for them, the audience meanwhile standing. An ad- dress of welcome will be made by Mr. Saur, and to this President Strack will respond in appropriate terms. A military “salamander,” under the diree- tion of Mr. Joseph. Colignon, will be the next feature of the program, an at its termination, the Saeagerbund and Arion singing socleties will render the anthem, Behold, how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity.” Next Mr. Joseph Colignon will recite a, poem entitled ‘The Silver Jubilee of Germania,” and following this the Saengerbund .will sing two so: (1) “Prayer Before the Battle,” by Theodore Danfel Giester. Koerner, a noted German poet, who was killed in battle, and (2) “To the Father- land,” by Krueger. Following this, Mr. E. Elterich will deliver an address appro- priate to the occasion, and then the entire audience will be expected to unite in sing- ing “Germany, Germany.” Then there will be a recess, during which refreshments will be served. After the Intermission. Upon again taking. up the program Mr. Frank Claudy will recite an original poem and next the Arion Society will render “The German Song,” by Franz Abt. “United Germany and Her Influence Upon Germans in Foreign Lends" will be the title of an address by Dr. Strack, and after an overture by the orchestra, Rev. B. Drewitz will speak on “German Women in Peace and War.” An original poem will then be recited by Dr. Strack, and the formal part of the exercises will close with the sing- ing by the audience of “The Star Spangled Banner.” After this there will, it is ex- pected, be a number of informal speeches, singing, recitations, etc. The festivities will, it is thought, be kept up until a late hour. List of the Veterans. The following is a list of the veterans who now reside in Washington, though some of them are out of the city at the present time: Jacob Jose, Joseph Colignon, Charles Bischoff, John Well, Stanislaus Stetnik, Otto Sturm, Heury Bieber, John Schulz, Julius Schulz, Henry Krunke, Henry Meckel, F.

These and an additional force of 3,000 men were ordered to proceed against the newly organized French army under Marshal MacMahon, whose headquarters were at Chalons. “Ma hon had forebodings that he need '.

The announce- ment made by the Paris papers was tele- graphed from London to King Wilhelm at Berlin, and the latter sent an order to the headquarters of his armies in the field, directing the march to Paris to be stop- ped, and for tie whole force to proczed against Metz. The Falt of Metz. “The surrender of Metz took place in due course, and this left the German armies free to carry out the original plan Intended to be followed, and the march to Paris by way of Sedan was resumed. The surrender of Metz produced such a feeling of ¢ tent and demoralization in the French army that the Emperor Napoleon, who was with one of his armies and was procesiing to Chalons, was afraid to show htmself among bis own men, and was virtually a prisoner in the hands of his soldiers. Other armies also became affected with the con- tagion, and so closely was MacMahon, J. Reiners. who had not had time to reach Metz before its fall, pursued that the French would hardly get out of a town before the Ger- mans would enter at the other end. “At Buzney the Uhlans, a comparatively small force, attacked six corps of the French cavalry and routed them. This ccndition of affairs was kept up daily, and, to make matters worse, MacMahon found that the Germans were in possession of his plans. The brave French general then real- ized that he was lost. “On August 29, when there was a few miles of distance between the two oppos- Ing armies, one of MacMahon’s largest di- visions, that of Gen. de Filley, stopped in the woods to rest. The French were worn out, but the Germans, having been in- formed of the state of affairs, were merci- less, and made a sudden onslaught upon the French from all sides. The poor French were completely surprised, having laid aside their implements of war for cooking utensils, and the slaughter was immense. The French soon rallied to a certain ex- tent, and the contest, unequal as it was, was kept up until dark, when the French were completely routed. During this battle towns of Beaumont and Baule were com- pletely destroyed by the artillery fire. The French cavalry made a brave effort to cut their way through the German lines, but were unable to do so. Among the spoils which here fell into the hands of the Ger- mans was a war chest containing 150,000 franes. “It was the outcome of this battle which practically decided the fate of Sedan, which, with its immense force of soldiers and war equipment and the Emperor Na- poleon, fell into the hands of the Germans four days later, September 2, and_even- tually caused by the capitulation of Paris."" —— If It Wasn't for Pleasure, Grasped occasionally, this world would be a vaie of tears.

MIGHTILY MIXED An Unusually Long Procession in the Police Court. ALD COLORS, SEXES AND CONDITIONS Justice Meted Out for Offenses Both Trivial and Serious. POINTS FROM THE BENCH The prisoners in the Police Court this morning numbered three score and ten, and the gathering was decidedly mixed, for there were in the three cells persons of all ages, sexes and colors. The charges against them ranged from a trivial ob- struction of the sidewalk to that of at- tempted murder, but there was apparently as much happiness among them as there was among some of the followers of the music on the streets. It is true they could not see the bright banners and bright mu- sical Instruments, but they had a concrete floor on which to dance, and there were but few of them who failed to take advantage of the opportunity and do some fancy dancing to the strains of the Ively music. Tm the female cell there were nearly a dozen women and girls, some of the latter well-dressed white girls, apparently not more than sixteen years old, and one of them perched herself on the window sill and puffed away at a cigarette, showing that she had been used to a course of life not In keeping with those whom the “cur- few" of other cities is supposed to protect. These girls had been taken from a house ef ill fame in the “Division” because of their youth, and the woman who was re- sponsible for their coming here from Ha- gerstown was on trial in the upper court. A Workingman Gets Off Easy. When the procession in Judge Scott's court started the first victim to app was Henry Pinkney, a colored man, and he frankly admitted that too many drinks had caused him to get in trouble. “I was drunk Saturday night,” he said, “and when I came down 7th street I went to the wrong house and I did talk too leud.” That's a bad thing to do,” said the court. “If you had let whisky alone you would rot have been here.”” “But I'm a workiag man,” the prisoner added, “and if I go down I'll lose my job. I have $8 at home, and if you will give me time I'l raise the balance of the mone: As you are a working man,” said Judge Scott, “I’m going to give you a chance to get out by making the fine only $2. John Kelly, a man who ts also known as “Bum” Kelly, was next in ime, and he was in trouble because he had been unable to centrol his appetite for strong drink. “Lye been locked up for fifteen montis,” he said, ‘and I've not yet had time to see my mother. There's no work here for me, and I've made arrangements to go to Rockville.” “When are you’ going?” interrupted the court. “Tomorrow,” he answered, “after I have n my mother.” will give you the chance this time,” the judge said, ‘and I want you to see that you keep your promise.” Mary Carter and Mary Lane, colored girls, were next in line, and they admitted they were guilty of disorderly conduct. “fhe court fines you five dollars,” said the clerk. Sleepers on the Sidewalks. Following these colored girls came sev- eral ofthe sidewalk ledgers, and in each case strong drink was the cause of the sleepy condition of the victims. Lawrence West was the, first of them and he plead guilty. “Judge, your honor,” the man said, “if you will give me a few days’ time I'll pay the fine.” “What was your offense?” the court ask- ed him. “I was drunk,” he answered, “and was arrested for lying on the sidewalk.” “What was the trouble with him?” the court asked the officer. “He was dead drurk.”” “I'll make the fine $2," said the court, “but I can’t give yeu time to pay it.” Joseph Fitzgerald was in court on a similar charge, but his memory was de- fective. “But I'm guilty,” he said, “or the police would not have arrested me. “What was this man doing?” the officer was asked. “He was dead drunk when we found him on the pavement,” the officer an- swered, “‘and it took two of us to put him in the wagon.” “What did he say?” ‘Nothing, for he was so drunk that he did not know what was done until he woke up in the station. udge, your honor,” the prisoner said, “I have haif my fine, and if you will let me go I'll get the other half.” “How much have you?” “T have $2. “You must expect the imposition of a $5 fine, but_as you are a working man I'll make it $2.50."" The man paid every cent he had and had not the price of an “eye-opener” when he departed. Effects of Local Ginger Beer. Reuben B. Allison, a colored citizen of Front Royal, came here on an excursion two days ago, and while he has a good opinion of the general appearance of the eity he thinks “Washington ginger beer” is much better than similar liquid sold at his_home. “IT only had one drink of it, judge,” said the prisoner, “and it made me forget. I don't know what happened, except that I lost all my money and my return tick: “This man was in the Smithsonian grounds Saturday night,” said the park watchman, “and I drove him out. Later I saw him again and he was occupying a bench and the sidewalk.” “Where are you from?” Judge Scott in- quired. “I came on the excursion that started from Strasburg.”" “But where is your home?” “I live in Front Royal.” “When you come here on another ex- cursion,” said the court, “you had better let Hquor alone. This time I will fine you only $3."* George Hayes, 3 colored man, who says he is a street lamplighter, was next in line, and the charge against him was that he had been loitering about a street corner. “I'm a lamplighter,” the man said, “and if I'm locked up I can’t light the lamps to- night.” “Well,” said the court, “we don’t want the city in darknees, and I am going to let you go this time. But if you are caught again you will have to go down.” Let O@ Very Lightly. Bettie H. Rickster, a woman who says she Is from Harper's Ferry, was repre- sented by Lawyer Carrington, who entered a plea of guilty to a charge of vagrancy for her. “The truth fs,” said counsel, “that she came here on a frolic, and is anxious to get back as soon as possible.” It was charged that she brought to this city the three girls mentioned above, but this she denied. Bond in the case was fixed at $20, which was given. Sylvester Page and William H. Bink, colored boys, who said they were not guilty, but Policeman Reith said they were crap shooters, and had been fn the habit of playing the game in rear of an old stable, ‘They were fined the usual amount. William Smith, a colored man, who has children to support, was tn line be- cause he was drunk Saturday night and was sleeping on the sidewalk. “He's guilty,” said Lawyer Ricks, his os t deration of the cir- es ler he was arrested, I think your Chenier inte ke hi personal ber ds.” “What are the circumstances?” “He's a hard-working man, and if lockod up he will lose his position.’ There are so many ‘dle men now that {t would be a men = eensition that 4‘ pardebip te i would Ponder him uname to support his chfidren.”” Judge Scott said that the man should have thought of his children before he got drunk, but he was not disposed to do any- thing that will cause them suffering, and the father was released on his personal bonds. Alex. Barber and William Davis plead guilty to a charge of disorderly and were fired $3 or nine days each. Henry Valentine, a colored man, who Was described as the “rusher of a growler,” made a long and ineffective talk for his lib- erty. The charge against him was disor- derly conduct, and the fine was $5 or fif- teen days. Rose Gegley plead guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct, and went down for two weeks because she did not have the neces- sary cash, Three Cases of Assault. Harry May was tried in the Police Court today for an assault on Constant Jones,and the penalty imposed was a fine of % or fifteen days. A penalty double this amount was assess- ed on Fred. Allen, who had assaulted Geo. ae vesley Ford, eolored, was tried for strik- ing Ida Locke with a bottle. “I threw the bottle at a boy and It struck the woman,” was his plea. That is no excuse,” the judge told him. oan will have to pay a fine of $25 or go ——_ THE PROPOSITION POSTPONED. Knights Templar Headquarters Not Established Here. The report that the Knights Templar en- campment at Boston had decided to locate the headquarters in this city was erron- cous. It seems that the conclave discussed the proposition that every triennial con- clave after that of 1998 in Pittsburg should meet In Washington, and this plan was ardently advocated by many, but especial- ly so by Sir Knight Carson of Ohio. He Proposed that the encampment should build a magnificent temple in Washington, and spoke at great length in favor of his plan. He suggested that the money could be obtained an anrval individual as- sSessmert of 25 cents, which would result in a yearly contribution of more than $23,- 00). He was anxious that the building should be begun at once. The members of the encampment decided, however, to postpone the consideration of the plan until the next conclave in 1898.
