WHERE RAILROADS CROSS Steam Roads Fighting the Order of the Commissioners. Object to Stopping Trains at Street Railway Crossings—Case Comes 30th. Up on the Upon the application of the Baltimore and Ohio and the Baltimore and Potomac rail- road companies Chief Justice Bingham late yesterday afternoon directed that the Dits- trict Commissioners show cause before him on the 30th instant why they should not be permanently enjoined from enforcing the police regulations made oa the 25th of last month respecting railroad crossings. And until the further order cf the court the Com- missioners were restrained from enforcing the said regulations. The regulations referred to are sections 17, 18 and 19 of article 10, and provide that no locomotive or train, with or without lo- comotive attached, shall cross over any ‘ec- tric or cable street railway crossing without first coming to a full stop; that the passage shall not be made until a*signal is given by the gateman in the employ of the com- pany, which signal shall not be given until the gates are down, and that no trains shall stand on any crossings longer than two minutes at a time. The petitions in each case are similar, and it is contended by the railroads that the Commissioners are without power ors au- thority to make or enforce such regulations, Congress having, they declare, reserv2d such rights; that the sections are contra- dictory, impossible of enforcement, unrea- sonable, null and void; that the enforcement of the regulations would interfere with the carrying of United States mails, and would delay them; that it is unreasonable to com- pel steam railroad trains to stop before crossing street car lines when the public in- terest would be best subserved by obliging the cable or electric cars to stop before crossing the steam railroad tracks; that the safety gates and gatemen provide adequate protection; that the regulations are impos- sible of enforcement because the stop- ping of a rallroad train required by ene section would exceed the time, two minutes, provided for in another sec- tion, and that a police regulation still exists which provides that drivers of street cars shall come to a full stop before crossing steam rallroad tracks and not pass over until signaled by the conductors. For the Baltimore and Ohio it is claimed that the road runs through several states and is therefore an interstate commerce medium, and that the Commissioners are attempting to interfere with and regulate Interstate commerce. And on behalf of :he Baltimore and Potomac road it is also claim- ed that on the upgrade on Maryland avenue a heavily loaded train, if stopped, would cause much delay arf necessitate the serv- ices of another engine to start the train again, and the stoppage of lengthy trains would block other crossings. ——.__ AMUSEMENTS. Lafayette Square Cpera House.—An ex- ceptionally large audience was in gftend- ance at the Lafayette Square Opera House last night to witness that sterling and won- derfully successful play, “The Old Home- stead.” The play has been seen here be- fore, but the play-going people seem never to tire of its rustic truthfulness, its broad humor and the fine singing that goes with it. The cast was strong in every part, being well balanced as to dramatic and comedy ability, although character acting had the lion’s share of the production. George W. Wilson, the old Boston Museum comedian, played the part of Uncle Joshua with a truthfulness and earnestness that carried conviction with it, and stamped him as one of the best character actors on the stage today. R. J. Jose, assisted by a double quartet, sang his way into the good graces of the audience. The Cy Prime of William Cressy shared honors with old Josh, Miss Mary Kimball as Aunt Mathil- da looked and acted the part to life and in emotionat work was very effective. Miss Blanche Dayne as Rickety Ann captured the galleries from the start with her quaint and funny words, and in company with Maggie O'Flaherty (Miss Minnie Luck- stone) kept up a continuous laughter, that contributed materially to the success of the play. Allen's Grand Opera House.—‘The Merry World” is the natural successor in popular esteem of “The Passing Show.” The series of reviews of current events which Canary and Lederer have inaugurated proves an established and appreciated incident of theatrical entertainment from year to year. “The Merry World” turns its fin de siecle satire upon one popular work after an- other with a swift trenchency that dazzles and a readiness of resource which insures against tedium. It is not a “star’’ piece. The performer who, In his turn, takes the center of the stage is premier of that !m- mediate occasion. Yet when the perform- ance is recalled in memory the figures which first suggest themselves are those of David Warfield and Amelia Summerville. The former's burlesque on “Svengali” has enough of the gruesomeness of the original to show that Mr. Warfield is an actor as well as an accomplished farceur. In Miss Summerville it Is not easy to recognize the erstwhile chubby—more than chubby— comedienne of a few seasons ago. In her satires on “Sans Gene” and “Trilby” she is spirituelle, but amusing. It is gravely as- serted by professional devotees of the hu- morous that to be a really good burlesquer requires a fine intellectual appreciation of the subject under consideration. Miss Sum- merville seems to fill this ideal, for her impersonations, laughable as they are, could not do otherwise than add to the af- fectionate regard in which the play-going and reading public have come to hold the clever blanchisseuse de fin and the nawely naughty model. The comic operas of re- cent success are cleverly woven through the performance, and the dancing of La Petite Adelaide, the comic Imitations by Frank Blair and other incidental features keep the audience always amused. Miss Marie Laurens sang last night in a man- ner which claimed an enthustlastle encore, and W. A. McCormick made an tmpression by his unaffected drollery as the Laird in the Trilby burlesque. The costumes are of the best, both in material andalesign, and the humor has thé exceptional merit of being directed toward people who have read a little and perhaps thought a little, as well as to the undefined and largely imaginary uncultured class, which man- agers are too ready to submissively recog- nize as a censor from whom there is no appeal. New National Theater.—Splendidly staged and costumed, and splendidly sung by prin- cipals of the highest reputation and a large and efficient chorus, it is no wonder that De Koven and Smith's opera, “Rob Roy,” has won such a success and made so much money for Mr. Fred. C. Whitney. Last night was the first opportunity afforded Washingtonians to hear this opera, and the National Theater was filled with an audi- ence that was kindly disposed and was also ndly to some of the principal singers. Miss Lizzie Macnichol, the contralto, and Wm. Pruett. the baritone, are both zhingtonians, and theysreceived a warm elcome. They Tully deserved the applause they received, for both were in excellent voice, and sang with spirit and artistic fin- ish. Mr. Pruett makes a heroic Rob Roy, his magnitice r sique admirably suiting the part. His s ly Love is Like the Red, Red Rose,” as given with exquisite taste and feeling. Miss Macnichol was a handsome Flora MacDonald, and her rich contralto voice was heard to good advan- s: jette Corden made a dainty ng the “Heather Song” de- Mr. Richard Carroll is recog- as one of the br comedians, and in Mayor of Perth he found full scope for Ps. abe r roles were satisfac- .—"The Widow Jones,” Ny May Irwin, made her shingion at the Academy of t evening, and she and her com- greet a large and most fa able house.

There are several new specialties, and the audi- ence was not slow to welcome them. The performance opened with a musical bur- letta, entitled “’Twill Be a Club,” which showed the strength of the company. It was replete with songs, dances and the latest chavracterizations of the day, and wound up with a satire on Trilby. In the olio, Collins and Collins, always popular, proved satisfactory; Whiting and Sheppard contributed a ncw specialty and Leslie and ‘Tenley had a brand new sketch. The liv- ing pictures pleased and Carrie Scott was a suc¢ess. Van Leer and Barton simply wiped the stage up with each other in their knock-abcut act. A spectacular burlesque, entitled “Robin Hood, jr.,”’ closed the per- fcrmance. During its progress several good specialties were introduced, notably the umbrella dance, urder the leadership of that well-known burlesquer, Miss Eva Euker. Miss Violet Griffin as the maid of the inn was also clever. Again tonight. Odd Fellows’ Hall.—The entertainment which will be put on at Odd Fellows’ Hall temorrow night under the auspices of Can- ten Potomac, No. 5, P. M., I. O. O. F., by the Burnt Cork Club, promises to be one of the best that has been seen at that hall for several seasons. The show will be laid on minstrel lines, opening with an original sketch, “The Burnt Cork Club in Social Session,” in which all the members of the club will take part, two candidates being admitted to membership in the order. The specialties are of the highest order, and em- brace the Del Ray Brothers in acrobatic feats, Graham Brothers in a unique musical act and spiritualistic cabinet mysteri Howard and Leigh, the well-known contor- tionists; Steve Clements, the popular banjo soloist; Charlie Shackelford, Byron Bond, Jack Flynn and Ross Wise, the Burnt Cork Quartet, and Little Dimple, the charming dancer of the club. The talent in the club is mostly professional, and a program of the highest class is assured those who at- tend the performance. Dancing will be a feature of the evening after the entertain- ment is over. Rev. M.. Rogers’ Lecture.—From Oxford to London” was the subject of the first lec- ture in the “people's lecture course,” which was delivered last evening in the Church of Our Father, corner 13th and L streets northwest, by its pastor, Rev. A. G. Rogers. The lecture was illustrated by means of about 250 lantern slides, some of them ex- ceptionally pretty and interesting. Mr. Rogers started at Oxfcrd, describing its great schocls and monuments, and dwelling on the influence of English schools on the iife of the nation, and then took his hear- ers to the great city, which he depicted with interesting remarks and pictures. The next lecture in the course, “Holland,” will be delivered December 2. Pearman’s Popular Concerts.—The first of the popular concerts by Prof. T. Wiliam Pearman will take place at the Church of Our Father this evening. The program: Dr. J. W. Bischoff, who w play a organ solo, the overture to “Strad@la Mrs. John C. Edwards, who will give a Piano solo; Miss Anita Cluss, who will play the andante from ‘Moses in Egypt” on the harp; Mr. Eugene Coffin, who will play a saxophone solo, and the following vocal pumbers: Goring’s “A Summer Night,” by Miss Florence MgNelly; Bellini’s “Qui la Yoce,” Miss Elste Bond; Goynod’s “Dig Possente,” Mr. J. J. Fisher; the cavatina from “Semiramide,” Mrs. Hattie Meads Smith; the- jewel song from “Faust,” Mrs, Morgan D. Lewis, and Piccoloninni’s “Eter- nal Rest” and Adams’ “By the Waters,” the former with violin obligato and the lat- ter with harp accompaniment, Prof. Pear- man. . Miss Judson in Opera.—The Philadelphia papers all spoke very kindly of Miss Alice Judson’s work--with the Hinrichs Opera Company. Her Siebel in “Faust” was con- sidered well sung and acted, particular mention being made of her flower song, and her Lisa in “Sonnambula” was considered even better, the press saying that ‘she made a very pretty peasant girl, and the music and part seem to be in better har- mony with her voice and youth than Ste- bel.” Columbia Mustcal Parlors.—As usudl,there are new attractions this week on the grephophones, kinetoscopes and kineto- graphophones. The list on’ the grapho- phones includes two of the latest marches, “The Arrival of the Bride” and “Tne Broad- way Two-step,” as played by the famous bends of the country. Both have attracted a great deal of attention thus far. “The Assembly March"—the grand finale of the @rst act of Hoyt’s “Milk White Flag,” will be produced on the kinetoscope. There are many other attractions which will weil re- pay the visitor. The improvements (o the front of the building are about completed, which will make these parlors the hand- somest of their eort in the country. ———— NO RACE DISTINCTION. The Baptist Young People’s Union and the Color Line. There has been considerable dissatisfac- tion expressed by colored Baptist clergy- men and members of their churches because, as they believed, the Baptist Young People’s Union of America has since its organization failed to recognize the colored unions. Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks an@ other Baptist clergymen here have for some time pro- tested against what they considered a dis- crimination. As a result of the agitation thus started by Dr. Brooks the officials of the union havo decided that hereafter colored members shall not only be admitted us visitors to the convention, but also that they will here- after be given places on the regular pro- gram. Dr. Brocks has been notilied to this effect by Mr. Jesse A. Baldwin, the chair- man of the executive committee. In his lét- ter informing Dr. Brooks of the decision of the committee, the chairman says: “It is not true in point of fact that the B. Y. P. U. A. has ever in any manner drawn the color iine, and we deeply regret that such an impression should have gained any credence whatever. “On the 14th of last month the subject was discussed at the regular monthly mecting of our executive committee. Every one of the nine members of the executive committee was present, as were also Rev. Dr. W. L. Wright of Richmond, Va., Frank Harvey Field of New York and Re thas. A. Reese of Minneapolis, chairmen, respectivety, of the departmental committecs of the B. Y. Pp. U. A., having headquarters at the cities from which they respectively come. After a thorough discussion of the matter, par- ticipated in by every one of the gentlemen present, we reaffirmed the broad principle which is stated in article 1 of our by-laws, to the effect that the membership of this union shall consist of delegates from young people's societies in Baptist churches and from Baptist churches naving no young peo- ple's organizations, without limitation or restriction, and without any reference to race, nationality or color, and this was done by the affirmative vote of every one of the persons mentioned. “Replying to that part of your letter which complains that your race were not repre- sented as they should have been on the pro- gram at Baltimore, I heg to say that It ts our deliberate purpose in preparing the pro- gram for future conventions to secure the best men obtainable to present the various topics which are to be discussed, ard that, too, without any reference to race, nation- ality or color.” —— Big sale of furniture at Latimer’s tomor- row, 1231 G street.

THEY ARE NOT HAPPY Louisiana Avenue Merchants and the Com- missioners’ Plans. Think They Are Being Taxed Too Heavily—Talk of a Protective Association. The merchants on Louisiana avenue are not in a happy frame of mind over the plan of the Commissioners to allow them to take out vendors’ licenses, and so use a part of the sidewalks. One prominent merchant, speaking to a Star reporter, sald: “We already pay $40 a year for license as commission merchants, and after granting vs the privilege of doing business the Commissioners now force us to rent space on the sidewalks. By paying $25 additional we are permitted to occupy ‘the sidewalk, with the exception of a space fifteen feet wide, to be kept clear for pe- destrians, and this is restricted to whole- sale dealers. It is certainly unjust.” Protective Association. Several of the merchants held informal meetings on the sidewalkg today and dis- cussed the practicability of organizing a protective association, and it is not un- likely that such a union will soon be a reality. The statement was freely made that dealers from other cities consign to themselves here car loads of produce, show the same in freight cars within the city limits and dispose of it without the sem- blance of a license. This Is an every-day occurrence, it was claimed, and yet the legitimate dealers are now forced to pay $85 a year for doing practically the same thing. It was also pointed out that nearby farmers send their produce to this city by men hired for the purpose, who sell it from the sidewalks adjoining the market and pay nothing for the privilege. These goods, it was explained, are sold through an agent. Yet, farmers who find it incon- venient.to send their produce to town in that way ship it to a commission merchant, who acts as agent identically as in the other case, but yet the merchant must pay a big license. This matter is one of the things which the merchants mean to bring to the attention of Congress. Police Dixeretion. The merchants do not seem to take kind- ly to the proposition made recently by Com- missioner Powell that they shall appeal to Congress from the order of the board for- bidding the temporary use of the sidewalk. Referring to the matter, Mr. H. Cosgrove, who ts greatly interested in the subject, to day said to a Star reporter: “The law gov- erning the occupancy of public sidewalks is all right, but what should be done in this matter, in my opinion, is to leave the en- tire regulating of the sidewalks to the dis- cretion of Lieut. Amiss and his men. They know from long experience what is needed around this neighborhood, and if the mat- fer is left to them all concerned will be treated fairly. “There would then be plenty of space left open for the public and plenty of space for the merchants to load, unload and exhibit their goods. “Let the law remain as it is, and apply the penalties to any one who may abuse the privileges granted by it.” Rich Red Blood Is the Foundation of the Wonderful Cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla. ‘THAT IS WHY the cures by Hood's Sarsa- partila are CURES. ‘THAT IS WHY Hood's Sarsaparilla cure the severest cases of Scrofula, Salt Rheum and other blood diseases.

Williams Will Suc- ceed the Late Dr. Smith. At a meeting of the members of the Metro- politan Baptist Church St was decided by a unanimous vote to extend a call to Rev. Granville S. Williams of Bristol, Tenn., to fill the pulpit of the church, made vacant by the death of Rev. Green Clay Smith. Dea- con W. F. Paxson was made moderator of the meeting, and the report of the pulpit committee was read, recommending Mr. Williams for the vacancy. On the second ballot he received a three-fourths vote, which was immediately made unanimous. In the south, where he is perhaps best known, Rev. Mr. Williams is regarded as one of the strong and able men of the Bap- tist Church. He is about forty-five years of age, and Is a native of ‘Tennessee. He was for ten years pastor of the Central Baptist Church of Nashville, Tenn. From there he went to Raleigh, N. as pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church to succeed Rev. Thomas Dixon, now of New York. From Raleigh he was called to the pastorate of the Second Baptist Chureh, Brooklyn, N. Y., and from there to Bristol, where he has been for five years. ———— Alfred J.
