John Brcrran had a bad case of “that tired feeling” when he figured in Judge Kim- bali's early morning procession today. He had been given a cup of hot coffee, but this beverage was not sufficient to counteract the effects of the cheap but strong beverage in which he had indulged Saturday night. When he appeared at the rail for trial he held his hands to his head in his efforts to alleviate his sufferings, ard as soon as the clerk asked, “Are you guilty or not guilty he answercd in the affirmative and hasten- ed back to the cell, where he found a hard resting place on the fron bench. In the absence of a five-dollar bill the suf- ferer went down for two weeks. Went to the Zoo. Thousands of persons took advantase of the cheap fare of the Washington Traction Company yesterday and went to the ‘Zoi Among them was a colored citizen named James Parker, who was accompanied by a white man. Parker had been bending his elbow with a bottle in his hand, and when he reached the cages in which wild animals are kept he seemed to have an idea that there were not monkeys enough in the building to amuse the spectators, and so he proceeded to take the place of those that were not there. ‘You'll have to stop thi Watchman Kraemer told him, to arrest you.” Parker did not heed the warning, and so he soon found himself in a cage, which was even more secure than some of the cages in which the wild animals were held. ‘This was the reason why he came second in the procession and was fined. She Walked Out. When Hattie Williams is at home she is in Georgetown, although when on the farm she is as well contented as when west of the creek. She was complained against as a vag- rant because of her mode of living and drunkenness, “I ain't no va she said, body says I am they are wrong. “But,” said the judge, “the officer says you were drunk.” “I know he d'‘d, but I wasn’t. Yesterday I came from across the river and went into an Italian’s place and bought something to eat. When I complained that he had given me the wrong change he called be a * and said he would throw me out.” oo what did you say?” the court in- fred. T called him a ‘“——- — ,’ and walked business,” ‘or I'll have ‘and if any- ‘wo months.” Mer Son. Mrs. Mary Stack, a resident of Parker street northeast, was in court as a witness against her son Tom, against whom there was a charge of profanity. “He came home drunk,” said tbe aged mother, who was not anxious to see her son go down, “and ordered me out of the house. He frightened me, and I went to the house of a ne‘ghbor.”” “Did he use any profanity was asked. “T didn’t hear any.” “Dismissed.”” Edward McGlnchy was in the toils again, after an absence of several months, and he was willing to make all sorts of promises in order to get out. “If you let me go this time,” he said to the court, “I'll take the pledge for life.” Judge Kimball was not very deeply im- pressed by the prom!se made by the man, who was just getting off a short spree, and imposed the usual fine. He Was Hungry. William Davis, a young man, stranger in the city, met Policeman Herndon at 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue yesterday and asked for assistance. “I'm hungry,” he said, “and want some- thirg to eat. ‘Nome with me,” said the officer, who was in citizens’ clothes, “and I'll give you something to eat.’” Instead of doing as the officer suggested, the man strolled off down Pennsylvania avenue and stopped several other persons. “Sixty days.” Family Troubles. James Townsend and Mary Townsend, his wife, are residents of Baptist alley, but the name of the public thoroughfare has no in- fluence over them, unless it is for the worse. “They are the only people on my beat who cause any trouble,” sald Policeman Mc- Cort. “Saturday night they were drunk and nolsy.”” A witness who heard the man threaten his wife appeared and told what he had ob- served, and the defendants were heard in their own behalf. ‘Mary was drunk,” said the husband, “and she screamed so loud when she fell down the doorsteps that I told her she would get arrested.’ “And what about yourself?” “I was all right.” You are fined $5 or fifteen days,” said the court, “‘and your wife Is discharged.” Armstead Lewis and his wife, also col- ored, were in the procession for disorderly conduct, and witnesses said that the hus- band was in a fighting mood. He was fined $10 and the wife was re- leased. Mattie Curry and Jennie Brown were called, but as they did not appear their col- laterals were forfeited. Drank It Herself. “I'm real sorry that I am here,” said Pinkey Norman, “‘and if you will excuse me I'll not let it happen again.” “What was the matter this time?” “My little boy was sick and I got some liquor for him,” she answered, “and I drank some of it myself.” “Did you expect your drinking the whisky would do the boy good?” “No, sir, but I just drank a little too much.” Judge Kimball told her that she had bet- ter go home and take care of her children and not drink any more liquor. Her per- sonal bonds were taken. Mollie Brown, a great big colored wo- man, carrying an infant in her arms, was next in line, and her arrest had added one more case to the record of Policeman J. A. McDonald. The woman had screamed “murder” be- cause she had been assaulted, and for this she was charged with disorderly conduct. “I was eltting at the door,” she said, “and when I objected to a roomer’s carrying water through the house he struck me and I screamed.” The policeman thought she had not been assaulted, but the woman knew better, and the court discharged her. “I got in bad company yesterday,” said a little man named John Maxwell, “ani I'm sorry for it. I hope you will give me time to pay my fine. What did this man do?” the wanted to know. “He was drunk yesterday,” answered a witness, “and he claimed that another man had robbed him. Both men were taken to the station, but the other man did not have his money.” Maxwell was informed that the business of the court is conducted on a cash basis and the prisoner stepped back. Other Cases. Policeman Moh) had two charges against a colored boy named Henry Middleton, but the proof narrowed dowr to a question of veracity between them in one case, and the charge was dismissed. ‘The other charge was that Middleton had used bad language in the police station, and on this charge his personal bonds were taken. William Budrom, a young colored man, plead gullty to a charge of profanity, and went down for two weeks in default of fine. 3 Saturday night William Washington, a colored man, engaged in a street scene at North Capitol and G streets, and the dis- order was of such a nature that a fine of $10 or thirty days was imposed. “I don’t shoot crap,” said a colored man named Richard Holmes, against whom Of- ficer Roberts had given testimony. “He was in a party of crap shooters in Syphax court,” said«the officer. “Did you see the bones?” ‘Yes, sir. “Were you in Syphax court?” the court asked the prisoner. the mother court “Where's it at?” know. “In South Washington.” “I wasn’t there.” “The officer says you were,” court. the latter wanted to said the “Ten dollars or thirty days.” eS POLICE REGULATIONS. Violations Cousidered in the Police Court Today. Several cases of alleged violations of the police regulations were filed in the Police Ccvrt today, one of the complaints being against John E. Miller, a representative of the National Sanitary Company. The complaint was filed by Inspector Geo. A. Howe of the health department, and cEarged that a colored driver, named Amos Brown, had driven a leaky cart through the streets. A plea gf guilty was entered, and the ccurt heard the explanations of witnesses. It transpired that the cart in question is made of wood, and Inspector Howe says it carnot be made secure enough to haul gar-- bage. ‘There was evidence to show that the cart had given trouble before, and the court fired Mr. Miller $5. In imposing the fine the judge said that a heavier fine will be imposed if the offense is repeated. : Contractor Charles F. Cost was in court on a charge of hitching his horse to a tree on Q street, Georgetown. Mr. Cost hired a colored boy to hold his horse while he went in a house, but he re- mained so long that the boy got tired and hitched the animal to the tree. “The boy acted as Mr. Cost’s agent,” said the court, “and Mr. Cost is technically guilty.” Policeman Kinnamon said that the orders about protecting trees were very strict, and this horse was endeavoring to reach the leaves. Judge Kimball took Mr. Cost’s personal bonds, and advised him to be more careful in the future. James Minor, the driver of a cart, was in ccurt because asphalt had dropped from his cart. “Guilty” was the boy’s plea, and Police- man Elgin told the court of the facts. He said it was the result of overloading, end the court thought it was hardly fair that the driver should be punished. In these cases, he said, the owner or superintendent should be charged. The boy’s personal bonds were taken. John Connors and John Clark, charged with fast driving, forfeited their collaterals. A stranger in the city, named George M. Harden, was in court on a charge of in- decency at the Washington monument. He plead guilty. A fine of $10 was paid. A woman, known as Eva Causey, was charged with destroying a coat belonging to Madeline Sinclair, and she forfeited $10 callateral. AMUSEMENTS. Allen’s Grand Opera House.—There will be no performance at the Grand Opera House tonight, as Mr. David Belasco thinks that another day should be given to re- hearsals in order that his new play, “The Heart of Maryland,” should be properly presented to the public. Mr. Belasco has put two years of time into writing and re- vising this piay, and he is raturaily anx- ious that everything should go smoothly at its first public presentation. The com- pany, which is an exceptionally strong one, has been rehearsing both in New York and in this city for some weeks, and all the members are said to be dead-letter perfect in their parts. But the scenic setting is very extensive, and there are numerous properéies and effects which must all be ac- complished quickly, and Mr. Belasco is not yet satisfied with the results. Today the people are all hard at work at the opera house, and everything will undoubtedly go right when the curtain gces up tomorrow night. aderewski, the pet of the musical world, from Liverpool October 16 for New York, having signed for a series of sev- enty-five concerts to be given in the larg- est cities of the United States.

IN LABOR CIRCLES. The Eccentric Engineers and Cigar Makers Held Meetings Saturday. At the meeting of the eccentric engineers, held Saturday night, a report was submit- ted showing that the benefit given on Labor day for the widows of the two cornice workers was more successful than had been expected, and that the money has been equally divided between those for whom it was intended. A resolution of thanks to the Mt. Vernon Steamboat Company was passed for their donation of $42 to the same cause. A suggestion that a banquet be tendered to the delegates to the general assembly of the Knights of Labor during their conven- tion in this city next month was cordially approved.

UNIVERSITY NOTES Matters of Interest'iniThese Higher Insti- tutions of earning. Changes in the Fuculties and in the Courses of Study—College Soctetics. Catholic University. The greatest interest is everywhere man- ifested in regard to!the department of ex- perimental psychology, under the direction of Dr. Pace. The doctor has in his depart- ment much curious apperatus. Among oth- er things there is cne, by means of which le measures hew long it takes one to think and feel, how long it requires one to trans- mit a sensation, or execute 2 command of the will. Dr. Pace is at present much en- gaged in equipping a room, which is im- pervicus to all sounds. For certain exper!- ments the doctor is obliged to have a room in which he will be able to secure as nearly as pi ible absolute silence. The students desiring admission to the McMahon Hall have entered and passed the examination with much credit. The various lectures will be begun today. Columbian University. For the benefit of a number of the new students In the college an extra French class for beginners commencea October 1 and_will continue, three times a week, un- til November 15, at which time these stu- dents will be far enough advanced to ful- low the higher class of French. Dr. Greene has returned from his Euro- pean vacation, much improved in health. Dr. F. Freyhold of the Corecran Scientific School has returned from Brazil, where he has heen spending several months. Dr.W. F. R. Phillips of the medical school has just published the first number of “Climate and Health,” the new periodical of the weather bureau. Mr. Cabel Whitehead has returned from a vacation voyage to Sweden. On October 14-at 7 p.m. an examination will be held for these students entering the second year’s course in either applied mathematics or engineering. A prize con- sisting of a handsome set of drawing in- struments has been offered by Mr. Fred. A. Schmidt to the student who will make the highest percentage in the examination. ‘The registration of the law school, which opened Thursday evening, shows an enroll- ment of fifty more students than at the opening last year. Judge Harlan will lecture in the law school three times a week on domestic re- lations, instead of once a week, as here- tofore. Among the organizations for the young ladies of the college is the Pi Beta Phi, which was established in 1887. A prerequi- site for membership {s high scholarship.

Bradford; secretary, Miss Anna Kelton; corresponding secretary, Miss Li lian Pace: censors, Misses Florence Bow- men and Frances M. Jacobs. é By order of the president and faculty, the students during all chapel exercises sit ac- cording to classes, senior, junior, Sopho- more and freshmen, and the record of at- tendance is kcpt by students selected by the dean from the various classes. In the Corcoran Scientific School several additional courses in mathematics have been made by Prof. Hodgkins. Among these are courses in analytic geometry of three dimensions, theory of equations and a series of lectures on the history of math- ematics. The prcspects are that the classes will be larger than usual this year, many students are entering the school to take advanced work. Especially popular is the course leading to the degree of B. S. in mathematics. Four or five teachers in the public schools have arranged to take this course. The Hermesian Soctety of the Columbiaa Academy has been organized, with the fol- lowing officers: President, Horton Everet vice president, Wallace Ritchie; treasurer, Earle Wan Auken; secretary, Melville Lind- say. The club has arranged to meet regu- larly every Friday afternoon at the society hall in the academy buildt where it wiil hold its debates and exercises of a Mterary character. The regular feature of the so- clety is to join in public debates with simi- lar organizations in other schools, and it is expected that there wilt be four or five such debates during the coming winter. Dr. Albert L. Stavely of the medical school has been recently elected a mem- ber of the District Medical Association. In the absence of Dr. Prentiss Dr. Francis P. Morgan will temporarily fill the chair of materia medica and therapeutics in the medical sehcol. Some important additions to the college faculty were made by the action of «he university authorities yesterd The de- partment of modern languages has been established on a new basis, in which French, German and Spanish will have four instructors. Dr. Lodge, whose predilections are in the Ine of political and hist8rical philosophy, and whose services are most valuable in this as in other departments of culture, has at his request been relieved of all French classes save the senior, and Mr. Geo. H. Henning has been chosen his a: sistant. Mr. Henning 1s a_ distinguished graduate of Harvard, who afterwards pur- sued his studies in French philosophy and conversation in Paris. Dr. J. H. Gore, who raised the standard of German in the col- lege and made it a most attractive course, has, also at his request, been relieved of all the German classes; and he will in future confine himself to the department of mathematics. Dr. Hermann Schoenfeld, who graduated at Leipzig in 1887, will have charge of German under the supervision of Prof. Gore. A new chair of history has been created, and soon an announcement will be made’as to the occupant. Howard University. The medical department began on Tues- day evening. Dr. Rankin delivered the opening address, in which he gave a rapid resume of the improvements in surgery during the last twenty-five years. He said the science of surgery, as now known, was not thirty years old. In conclusion, Dr. Rankin gave the percentage of successful operations performed in this country and abroad. The Banjo, Guitar and Mandolin Club wes reorganized on Wednesday. It will be particularly strong In both talent and num- ber this year. The members have agreed to meet twice a week at the university to practice. Mr. Brodnax, traveling secretary of the Students’ Volunteer Missionary movement, spent Friday at the university, and lectured to those who will devote themselves to foreign missions. “There 1s prospect of as large, if not a larger attendance than last year,” sald Dr. Rankin. “The departments are all doing excellent work, and give evidence of earn- est and faituful study. The teachers are discharging their duties to the full satis- faction of the management of the univers!- ty” : ‘The laboratories and museums for the de- partment of natural history have recently received from Germany a complete man- nikin; also new slides for the stereopticon, and additional specimens for the mineral cabinet. i Georgetown University. The quarter mile running track around the campus has been completed; it 1s a thing of beauty to the aesthetic as well es the athletic eye. The handsome collection of birds, which was formerly in the Riggs library, has been removed to the university parlors and placed in handsome glass cases, erected for the purpose. Among recent additions to the collection of curios at the university 1s a wooden screen, presented by Judge P. Ord. This screen Ig of a very ancient school of art, with painting on both sides, and mounted in a handsome gilt frame. During the past year additions have been made to the library to the extent of about 1,000 volumes, by donation and purchase. The graduate students have all returned, and their lectures began on Tuesday at 10 a.m. The faculty of the medical school feel very much encouraged at the number of students who have entered the first year's @ay course. Students from the far west are entering, and a number from the south. This shows that the inadguration of a day course in the school has received the ap- probation of most all the medical assocla- tions in the country. Dr. S. S. Adams commenced his course of lectures on diseases of infancy and child- hood on Wednesday. Prof. Kober will begin his lectures on ‘hy- giene this evening at 6:30 o'clock. —_—— A chance to make $500.

Thomas, the attorney for the District, has submitted to the Comm!ssion- evs his estimate of the amount of money required for the conduct of his office for the year 1896-7. The total is $9,900, item- ized as follows: One attorney, $1,000; one assistant, $2,000; one special assistant at- torney, $1,800; law clerk, $1,500; messenger, $800; rent, $300. In addition to this Mr. Thomas asks for an appropriation of $5,000 to employ special counsel for the conduct of the street extension cases. This work, he thinks, will occupy the entire time of counsel for upward of a year. The appro- priation, he sugge: should be made avail- able before the beginning of the fiscal year. In order to have applicants for liquor li- cel to conform to the provisions of the new law, the Commissioners have directed that all applications shall hereafter be filed directly with the exc board and not with the assessor, as heretofore.

The Evils of Tea and Coffee Drinking have become apparent throughout the civil- ized countries. The medical profession has thrown its weight of authority against the practice, and frequently referred to the baneful results occasioned by the free use of these articles as a beverage. Every con- sumer should realize that coffee is not an aliment but a medicament, possessing a powerful active principle or alkaloid known as “‘caffein,” which produces serious de- Tangements of the digestive organs and the nervous system. Dyspeptics, nervous persons and all those suffering from indigestion, insomnia and general debility should try the great hy- gienic Kneipp Malt Coffee, which is abso- lutely free from all injurious substances.
