AMUSE: National Theater—Oscar Wilde's latest play, “An Ideal Husband,” was presented at the National Theater last night by the NewYork Lycevm Company with the admiz- able completeness and finish that character- izes all the performances of that splendid organization. The play was seen here last spring, and naturally there was not so much Interest In it as in “The Case of Rebellfous Susan,” but those who witnessed the play last night gave every evidence of complete satisfaction, Herbert Kelcey had a part which fitted him perfectly, and Miss Annie Irish as the adventuress did some excellent work. This may also be said of Stephen Grattan and Isatel, Irving, while the Old Le Moyne was a thoroughly ion. Ferdinand Gott- schallc had a good but brief character part, and Katherine Florence made a bright and chipper Mabel. Mrs. Walcott, Mrs. Whiffen, Miss Tyree and Maude Venner performed what was allotted them conscientiously and Universalist Church.—Tontght at the Un!- ist Church Mr. Fred Emerson Brooks, styled the poet humorist, and who has prov- ed himself a very popular entertainer, will be heard in a program that cannot fail to interest all admirers of keen classic humor.

After a thorough investigation Coroner Hammett has decided that an inquest is un- necessary in the case of John Boetsch, who committed suicide by jumping into the river at the foot of New Hampshire avenue Wed- nesday last. Funeral services were held at 8 o’clcck this afternoon at the residence of the deceased, 45 G street southwest. pee ES An Explosion. Considerable damage was caused late yes- terday afternoon in the drug store of J. Louis Crick, 1700 Pennsylvania avenue, by the explosion of two pressure tanks.

ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE Tramps on Their Way to the Sunny Bouth, Many of Them P: ing Through This City—Cases in the Police Court Today. ‘Tramps who do nothing but travel from place to place are making an early start for the south, where they intend to spend the winter, and many of them will no doubt visit the Atlanta exposition. A num- ber of them have already passed through here on their way to the sunny south, and several of them have been stopped and sent to the workhguse. There are others here, and some of them will undoubtedly follow their companions, who are now using a pick or shovel in the District service. Yesterday there were several knights of the road in court, but last night they managed pretty well to keep out of the hands of the police. While the tramps were scarce this morning there were twenty-seven persons in the tolls at the Police Court, where about fifteen of them appeared in Judge Kimball’s procession. The Only Female. Lizzie Straightner, a colored woman, was the only female in the procession, and the charge against her was vagrancy. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” Clerk Harper asked her. “Sir, what did you say?” “You are charged with being a vagrant,” the bailfff said to her. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” “I ain't no vagrant,” she sald. “She's an old offender,” said Policeman Crawford, “and I've driven her off 14th and 7th streets a hundred times.” Why?” ecause she was drunk.”” ow often have you seen her drunk?” bout twenty times during the last year.” Yesterday, the officer said, she called at the station and asked for a place to sleep. “I don’t get drunk the way that police- man says,” said Lizzie. “Why do you get drunk?” . “I don’t get drunk,” said the woman. “I live in service at ‘fakoma Park and get $10 a month. “But yesterday I took a little, and it hurt me, and, judge, I'll tell you how it happened. You see, I had a tooth drawed out and took laughing gas, and I've got the tcoth in my pocket.” “Did the laughing gas make drunk?” “No, sir. I took a little liquor to ease the pain and that’s what made me feel so bad.’ “Why did you ask to be sent down?” “I didn’t ask any such thing,” answered Lizzie, “1 only wanted to stay in the sta- tion till I felt better, because I didn’t want to be seen staggering on the street. Her personal bonds were taken. Regular Caller. John Henry Simms, a colored man who is a regular caller, was drunk last hight and sot arrested. The charge against him was profanity, but the charge was not substantiated, and he was released. Charles Williams,a young man who works with a huckster wagon, was in the toils on complaint of Policeman Mason,who charged him with vagrancy, because he tried to sell a pair of spectacles at a house on Sth street southeast, where he also tried to sell some potatoe: “The spectacles belonged to me,” said the prisoner, ‘and I wanted to sell them." Didn't you know they were not gold?” the court asked. “I bought them for gold,’ was his res- ponse. “Where?” “From a man at the market.” t did you pay him for them?” ty cents. “Hereafter, ‘I would ad- se you not to mix your busines The charge against him was missed. Four months azo a small colored boy named William Willis was arrested in a cake wagon, so Policeman Maguire told the court. “No I wasn’t,” said the boy. jut you were arrested for something?” ‘I was sitting on a step near where some boys were playing crap,’ said William, ‘but I wasn’t in the game.” Last night he took a hat off a Jummy in front of Isaac Sakolski’s store ard ran away with it, but the proprietor foliowed him and placed him under arrest. “Do you know anything about this boy?” the judge asked Lawyer Chase. “He's been here several times,” respond- ed the lawyer, “and I defended him the time he was in the cake wagon.” The boy was sentenced to the reform school. you said the judge, Using the Sidewalk. Lewis Ward, an elderly man, was in the procession because. of his intemperate habits. Obstructing the sidewalk was the charge read agzinst him, and he answered “guilty. “Wasn't this man here a few days ago?” the court asked. No, your honor,” answered the old man; was here four months ago.” “He's been locked up three times this week for being drunk,” sald the officer, “and last night he was lying on the pave- ment,” “Five dollars.” William Smith, colored, who is unma-- ried, got drunk yesterday, and the lquor robbed him of his senses. He then labored under the delusion that he was a married man, and that his wife had died. The old man knew he had no money, and so he went from house to house, asking for money to defray the funeral expenses. “Several persons gave him money,” said the officer, “and he spent It for liquor.” Smith admitted that he had no wife, and the judge sent him down for ninety days, and told him he would have time to think it over. A young colored man who was docketed as Henry Mallory appeared at the rail and entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of vagrancy, and made a Genial of everything that was said against him. “He came out on the works yesterday,” said a witness, ‘and when I turned my back he snatched my coat and ran away.” “I didn’t snatch any coat,” said the pris- oner. “I went out there, looking for work, and failed to get it, but I didn’t take any coat.” Witnesses told of other thefts, and sald that many of the men had been robbed of their dinners. “You will have to give security or go down for cixty days,” sald the court; “and you must understand that you will have to let workingmen's clothes alone.” ‘Thos. Wise plead guilty to a charge of profanity, and was fined $5 or fifteen days. Charles Walker, the last prisoner In the procession, was fined $5 for disturbing the Salvation Army meeting last night. —— Rurn Garbage at Alexander Island. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I would suggest that the garbage crema- tory be placed on Alexander Island. Tie contractor can secure real estate at a quar- ter the cost of the Scuth Capitol street prop- erty; besides, Alexander Island is much nearer the center of the city, and, as the garbage carts mcve at a walk, the bridge Is not objectionable. It will cause contractors endless trouble if the garbage reduction plant {s located in any section of Washing- ton, and The Star will be supported by ail citizens In its crusade against the erection of such a nuisarce. W. S. SAMMONS. Se More About the Eckington. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Near about a year ago the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railway was allowed to tear up several well-paved streets (North Capitol, G street northwest and New Jersey avenue), put down a double railway track and replace the smooth concrete with cobble stones and brick, now so sunken and irregular that— especially in front of the government print- ing office—after rain the water stands for hours in the many pools made by this com- pany. And for why? Not one car has ever passed over those tracks, although they were finished in ample time to have accom- moduted many G. P. O. employes last win- ter. Why js this thus? LON.

CONVENTION IN BALTIMORE. Talk Concerning the Proposed Gath- ering of Colored Men. Magnus L. Robinson of the Alexandria Leader has notified the promoters of the convention of colored men to be held in Baltimore on the 9th of October that he capnot participate in the coming conven- tion. He says, also, that he was elected as @ delegate without his own knowledge and corsent, and that he is aware of the fact that the convention is a scheme to boom Mr. McKinley for the presidency, and for that reason, if no other, he cannot become a participant in the convention. It has been rumored ever since the con- vention was first suggested by its pro- moters that it wss the intention of the gentlemen who are fathering the conven- tion to use it as a means to start the boom of some one of the candidates among the colored people. J. W. Poe, who is chairman of the asso- ciation that js getting up the meeting, has denied that the gathering was for any other object than the discussion of the status of the colored people throughbut the country. Poe is a McKinley man, and has been “whooping up” for the buckeye state candidate, and for this reason it seems as if the impression has got abroad that the gathering will be in the interest of Mr. McKinley. Robinscn’s refusal to participate in the convention and his declaration that it is to be a boom for McKinley have cast somewhat of a damper upon the enthu- siasm of the politicians here for the meet- ing. Many delegates from the different districts here have had themselves elected to the conventioa, and some of them thought that a barrel was to be tapped at the convention. The minds of these dele- gates wero disabused of this idea when a comnuttee was appointed on finances to collect money to defray the expenses of the detegates to the convention and back. This committee yesterday and today has been around bracing the republicans here for money to “pay the freight.” Some of the delegates, when they were chosen to go to the convention, anticipated defraying their own expenses, and since the com- mittee on finances has brought the conven- tion irto disrepute by being out begging money, these delegates are talking of re- fusing to attend the convention. It is known that the managers of the re- publican campaign in Maryland are op- posed’to the holding of the convention, and it is sald have warned the colored people there not to participate in the meeting. It is said that the republican committee of that state believes that the convention is calculated to do the party injury. It is said that it is a part of the program of the meeting to indorse Lloyd Lowndes, and to urge the republicans of color to support his candidacy. The democratic leaders in Maryland are trying to scare the disaffect- ed democrats into support of the ticket row by holding up before them the “negro domination” scarecrow, and it is said that if this convention indorses Lowndes they will then say, “I to'd you so.” It is said that a colored democrat who resides in Baltimore city was in this city avring the week, and urged the promoters of the meeting to come to Baltimore by all mears, and that the people were maic- ing extra preparations for their accommo- dation. It is believed that this man urged for the convention because he knew that the democratic party was interested in its success. ——— “Two Squares,” Not “Two Miles.” fo the Editor of The Evening Star: It is my rule to permit newspaper criticism of myself personally to pass without com- ment, but I cannot allow an erroneous state- ment affecting the interests of a client to be governed by tkat rule. In your editorial of yesterday entitled “An Unnecessary Nuisance” (passing the fact that by using that title you prejudge the proposed garbage crematory to be a nuisance) you say: “There is not much solidity in the argu- ments made before the District Commission- ers in behalf of the scheme to locate a gar- bage crematory at the end of South Capitol street; such as were presented at the hearing “It is folly for the contractor's counsel to insist that he knows there is nothing in the cry that the furnace will be a menace to health and comfort, because, forsooth, a resident of Philadelphia tells him that two miles away from the plant there is no trace of bad odors. Two miles, irdeed! The people who are making the fight live within a radius of half, even a quarter, of a mile.” I offer no objection to any judgment which The Star may pass upon my arguments in respect of their solidity or the contrary. I do protest, however, that in common fair- ness The Star should first know what those arguments are. For some reason, doubtless well-known to himself, but as to which the pubile is left wholly to conjecture, your re- porter saw fit to give the meagerest possible report of what I said, giving the opposition arguments at great length and largely ver- batim. The most substantial reasons ad- vanced by me for the proposed location were not so much as alluded to. But let that pass. What I object to in your editorial is that you credit me with the “folly” of talk- ing about odors at two miles range. I sup- pose that even a Philadelphian would not be slow to protest that he should not be ex- pected to tolerate without complaint all shorter range smells. What I sald was, first, that I had been told by a reputable gen- tleman in person that he lives within less than two squares of the Philadelphia crema- tory and has never been annoyed by it in the least, and, secondly, that no complaint of that crematory as a nuisance has ever been made to either the municipal authorities or the courts, and that if the establishment had proved to be a nuisance {t would long since have been closed by either those au- thorities or the courts. I take it that such an experience* will outweigh, with candid minds, all the imaginary evils which fertile minds may conjure up and eminent counsel enlarge upon. HENRY E. DAVIS. ——— ASKS A SALE. Bill in Equity Regarding Some Hewett Real Estate. A bill in equity was filed today by At- torneys A. A. and T. W. Birney for Chas. W. Hewett against Walter F. Hewett and others, for the sale of a certain tract of land in the District, called “Pretty Pros- pect,” and that the proceeds therefrom be distributed according to the rights of the several parties. The complainant states that in October, 1892, he ard the defendant purchased the land from Evans Lyons for 3$30,0W), the complainant contributing half of the amount, but, he says, that the defendant acted in the matter as if he were the sole purchaser. The defendant is also claim- ed to have executed a lease to the said Lyons, October 8, 1892, in which Lyons was granted the privilege of repurchasing at any time prior to June 1, 1893, for the sum of {37,500 cash. Lyons failed to r purchase, it {s claimed, and the complain- ant says that October 15, 1892, the defen- dant conveyed the land to Luther E. Bur- ket and Frank E. O'Brien, as trustees, to secure Rachel M. Hewett, now Rachel M. Webb, an indebtedness of $10,000. Although the title to the land {is in the defendant, the complainant claims to be an equitable part owner, and to be cn- titled, »pon sale of the property, after the payment of a sum necessary to protect the said Rachel M. Webb, to have the sum of $15,000, and one-ninth of any amount in oa of $30,000. for which the land may be sold. ———-_— Discontinuance of Suburban Excur- sion Tickets, The sale of summer excursion tickets, at rate of one fare for the round trip, from Washington to suburban points between Harper's Ferry, Charlestown, Annapolis Junction and intermediate stations, will be discontinued with the close of the present month.—Advt.

If indications amount to anything the Columbia Athletic Club took on a new lease of life last night, and can look the future in the face with cheerful confidence. The public is famillar with the fact that the organization has been embarrassed in a firancial way for some time, and that mat- ters had grown serious enough to neces- sitate the calling of a full meeting of the members to consider ways and means by which the difficulty could be overcome. The announcement of such a state. of affairs some two weeks ago caused the revival of @ great deal of interest in the C. A. C., and many prominent business men who were members bestirred themselves to make such arrangements as would enable the club to continue as the leading athletic association of the national capital. ‘The meeting, which was held last night, was very largely attended, nearly every member in good standing being present, and when adjournment was reached a very sat- isfactory outlook was apparent. With President Alexander Grant in the chair and Secretary Alexander Shaw keeping tab on the proceedings the gathering quickly got down to business. It was developed that the assets were $153,000, and the liabilities $120,000, and upon this basis, which showed an abundant ability to settle its debts, the future of the club was discussed. Disbanding Would Mean Disaster. Mr. George E. Emmons, Mr. Charles J. Bell, president. of the American Security and Trust Company, and others made ad- dresses, in which they dwelt earnestly upon the necessity for keeping the C. A. C. alive and vigorous, and there was unanimous feeling that nothing should be left undone to avert such a disaster as disbanding would mean. As a result of this feeling, it was determined to hold a grand fair and bazaar at the club house during the first two weeks of January for the purpose of meeting the immediate necessities of the club, and to appoint a financial committee with full power to arrange for the perma- nent character of the club indebtedness and ‘to make provisions for its ultimate pay- ment. The latter committee was announced as Mr. Charles J. Bell, chairman; Mr. J. Maury Dove, Mr. George E. Emmons, Mr. W. B. Hibbs, President Alexander Grant, Mr. G. M. Fague and Mr. James F. Hood. These gentlemen were authorized to take full charge of the finances and to sell cer- tain real estate belonging to the organiza- tion which is not necessary to it. After the committee was announced it was stated privately that the holders of the first mort- gage bonds had expressed a willingness to reduce the interest from 6 to 4 per cent, and it is probable other creditors will fol- low the same course, Preliminaries of the Fair. When the fair proposition had been taken up and-acted upon subscriptions were opened for a guarantee fund to mect the preliminary expenses, amd nearly $2,000 was promised by those attending the meeting. The executive committee ‘to have charge of the fair and bazaar was also appointed. It consists of Mr. J. Maury Dove, chairman; Mr. George Emmons, secretary; Mr. Charles J. Bell, treasurer; Mr. Samuel W. Stinemetz, on subscriptions and donations; Mr. Harry G. Moses, on decorations; Dr. W. R. King, on music and entertainment; Mr. W. B..Hibbs, on the press: Mr. George Gibson, on printin: President Alex. ler Grant, on reception; Mr. james F. Hood, on auditing, and Mr.’Frank V. Bennett,’ on refreshments. Each member of the execu- tive committee was authorized to select members of the various subcommittees of which they are indicated as ch men, and instructed to report to a meeting of the board of governors to be hell next Thurs- day night. ,A Vole of thanks was tendered to Mr. a mmons ani Mr. Charile: ncouragement and se} es COLORED INTERSTATE LEAGUE.
