De Molay Mounted Commandery of Knights Templar Tuesday evening cele- brated the twenty-first anniversary of the organiz..tion of the commandery. A re- ception was held by the officers and ladies, after which a program of music and ad- dresses w 3 carried out. Then the floor was cleared and Commander Galliber, in com- mand of a squad of sir knights, gave an in- teresting exhibition drill. Refreshments and dancing brought the celebration to a close. — A Non-Chewing Car Wanted. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: The condition of the cars cn the 8:40 morning passenger train to Alexandria is so filthy that I must make a protest through your much read paper. It is my unfortunate necessity to frequently take that train, and it is also used by many— gentlemen, one wculd say, judging by dress and general appearance. The cars are so disgusting by reason of the previous using of the floor for a cuspidor that a lady shrinks from seating herself at all, thinking of the contact of her skirts with such floors. Having meade a doubtful choice, however, her ears are at once con- stantly assailed by the excessively disa- greeable sounds of men clearing heads and throats, and the subsequent expectora- tion. This not being executed with the invariable precision of the westerner, in Martin Chuzzléwit, who could “always cal- culate his distance,” gives the nervous feeling of being at any moment a target oneself. The other morning I finally mustered up courage to appeal to the conductor when | he made his rounds, but as I handed him my ticket and was about to speak, I saw his cheek was swollen from tobacco, and as he reached his hand toward me, he at the same time ejected a torrent of to- bacco juice at my very side! Now, in the name of suffering womanhood, I ask can- not something be done? If smoking cars are provided for one pleasing, manly habit, cannot spitting cars also be ar- ranged? or if this does not seem feasible as involving too much trouble for the gentlemen, perhaps a ladies’ car can be added, where women might ride in decent seclusion.

SEWER BADLY WANTED Mount Pleasant Citizens Disouss Some Im- provements. The Contagious Disease Hospital and Street Extension — Danger to Secholars—Use a Well. The most important business transacted at the regular monthly meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association last evening was the adoption of a resolution protesting: against the location of a contagious hos- | pital in Columbia Heights on the site pur- chased by the District, or elsewhere in that section. The absence of sewer connections in the village public school was again re- ferred to, and the committee on sewers and that on schoo!s were directed to confer with the school board and District Commis- sioners for the purpose of urging’the lat- ter to order the use of accumulated ma- terial in the construction of a temporary sewer connection. About the only other business transacted was that of a routine character, and dur- ing the rather brief meeting Mr. Chatfield called attention to the dependence by the children attending the village public school on a well for drinking water. In view of the fact that the great majority of persons suffering from typhoid fever were invaria- bly found to be drinkers of well water, 2.r. Chutield thougat that the well in ques- tion should be at once examined and the water analyzed. A member stated that there was no good reason why the schcol should not be pro- vided with Potomac water, as the water main was near the school house. ‘The dis- cussion resulted in the adoption of a reso- lution directing the committee on sewers ard water to request the District author- ities to at once order an examination of the weil and water. Section Sewernge. Referring to the absence of sewerage fa- cilities in the village school, President J. W. Somerville stated that in the District property yard were thousands of feet of pipe and hundreds of barrels of cement, which could be utilized in constructing at least a temporary connection between the school house and the sewer, from Kenesaw avenue to School street,and thence through a public alley to the school house. At the suggestion of Mr. Somerville, the commit- tees on sewers and schools were directed to request the construction of the sewer in the way suggested by him, the sense of the association being that the health of the scholars and teachers are being endangered by the abserce of sewer connections. Contagious Hospital. Speaking of the renewed proposition of the District Commissioners to locate a contagicus hospital in Columbia Heights, President Somerville stated that while he wes rezsonably certain that it would never be located there, yet he thought it desir- able and wise to let Congress and the Com- missioners know that the Mt. Pleasant Citi- zens’ Association is now #s violently op- posed to the location of the hospital in the section referred to as it was when it so completely defeated the proposition several months ago. The association unanimously adopted the views of Mr. Somerville, and a committee of three was authorized to pre- sent the association’s protest to both houses of Congress. Street Extension. The subject of street extension was then informally discussed, Mr. Chapin Brown stating the progress of the condemnation proceedings in the courts. He commended the courts, but remarked that it was an undisguised fact that the Commissioners of the District had not respected individual rights. However, he did not question their motives, believing that they felt that in such a matter the rights of the individual should suffer for the benefit of the whole people of the District. What was most to be feared, thought Mr. Brown, was a re- fusal of Congress to appropriate the money required, which would amount, he believed, to not less than $13,000,000 for lands re- quired in section 1. SS AMUSEMENTS. Allen’s Grand Opera House.—‘‘Miss Mul- ton’ was one of the plays in which Miss Clara Morris created a sensation by her wonderfully realistic acting over a decade ago. She presented this piece again last night at Allen's Grand Opera House to an audience that manifested by frequent ap- plause its enjoyment of the star’s interpre- tation. One thing noticeable during Miss Morris’ engageraent Is the excellent sup= porting company. Mr. Colville is an intel gent and forceful actor, and added to his reputation by his performance of Mau- rice De Satour last night. Miss Lavinia Shannon was effective as Mme de Satour, and the children were quite a feature in their songs and dances. Tonight Miss Mor- ris will be seen in “‘Camille.”’ Kindergarten Lectures.—The Columbian Kindergarten Association announces a se- ries of free lectures by eminent kindergart- eners, the first of which will take place in the parlors of the Washington Club, 171lu I street, tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock, when Dr. Wm. T. Harris, United States commissioner of education, will be the speaker. The second lecture will be de- livered Saturday morning at 11 o'clock by Miss Caroline M. C. Hart, principal of the ! training class of the Baltimore Kinder- garten Association, in the hall of Volumbian University. Lectures on Cookery.—The Murrey course of leetures on good cooking begins at Met- zerott Hall tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Tne first lecture, on the possibil- ities of,the chafing dish, promises to be of unusual interest. Mr. Murrey is an au- thority on the subject, and he is able to make his talks bright and entertaining and not merely a list of recipes. His lectures are always full of valuable suggestions and give him a chafing dish to work with or a fowl to cook or carve and he can keep his audience thoroughly entertained for a couple of hours, sending his hearers home with the feeling that they have learn- ed something new on the all-important sub- ject of cooking. Mr. Murrey is the pro- prietor of the House restaurant at the Capitol, the author of about sixty standard works on gastronomy, and a bright and en- tertaining talker on the subject. He is a practical cook and will illustrate his lec- tures in an interesting and instructive manner. The subjects he has chosen for the course are peculiarly adapted to Wash- ington at this season of the year. He be- eves that the American people might just as well live better at the same cost, and will show how this can be done. The course is as follews: 1, December 6—“The Chafing Dish;” its uses and possibilities. Welsh rabbits and other dainty dishes, with practical demon- strations. 2. December 10—‘Fisn and Shell Fish.” How to prepare oysters, lobsters, ete., in attractive style. 3. December “Marketing for the Hol- iday Table. How to purchase, cook and serve a dinner at home, with many timely hints to Washington housekeepers. 4. “The Ethics of Gastronomy.” What is right and what is wrong in American ees of dinner giving and home cook- ng. 5 ‘Salads, Sauces and Mushrooms.’’ Course tickets with reserved seats, $2. Si lecture with reserved seat, 50 cents. On sale at Metzerott’s. Authors’ Readings.—No- more attractive entertainment will take place in Washing- ton this season than the reading to be given next Monday evening by Mr. Thomas Nelson Page and Mr. Hopkinson Smith. Mr. Page and Mr, Smith have charmed Washington audiences before, and the priv- lege of enjoying a reading by them will not fail to be appreciated. Mrs. Cleveland, the Vice President and the members of the cabinet, with their families, will show their interest in these gifted authors by their presence. — “Pennsylvania Railroad” more and Return.

The Usual Flow of Liquor and Re- sulting Trouble. Yesterday was pension day, and in many of the saloons where veterans spend their time and money whisky flowed as freely as dees the water at the mission drinking | fountain, and there was the usual result—a’ great amouit of drunkenness. The drunk- erress was not confined to those who re- ceived money from the government, but the hangers-on, men and women, got the ben- efit of the ill-spent money, and the work of the police was more than dcubled. Loiter- ing about the persion office early in the morning were several of the so-called “sharks” who appear every three months and rob these poor old men who are so fond of liquor that they get their checks cashed in saloons because they are unable to wait tll banking hours, so anxious are they te get under the influence of intoxicants. One of the veterans found himself behind the bars within an hour of the time he got his money, while last night a number of cells were occupied by those who had fallen during the day. Some of them made the ual claim of having been robbed by the and although they had received their money in the morning they were pen- niless in the evening. This free distribution iquer resulted in a big day's work in Judge Kimball's court this morning, where the unfortunates numbered fifty-four. Intoxication and disorderly, and vagrancy and suspicion, as well as occupying the sidewalks for lodging purposes during tne snow storm, were the principal charges against the victims. Judge Kimball listen- ed attentively to the cases, and said it was a shame that these disgraceful things have to occur eve-y pension day. One pensioner who had been arrested last night did not have one cent left of his*pension money, but he said he had paid his beard to his board- ing house keeper, who had met him at the egency. Several persons were in court be- cause they had been found steering intox!- cated veterans in the direction of saloons and other questionable places, and such persons were sent down on the farm. MRS. SLACK’S CONDUCT. Testimony Giyen in Her Behalf Yes- terday Afternoon. After The Star's report of the Slack case closed yesterday the depcsition of Mrs. Addie Slack Perrine, the aunt of the chil- dren for whose custcdy the contest is made by their mother, Mrs. Wm. H. Slack, was read to the ccurt by her counsel. ‘It was similar to the depcsition of the late Maj. Wm B. Slack, reported in yesterday's Star, Mrs. Perrine stating that she heard Mrs. Slack use improper language on more than one cccasion, and that she had seen her use large quantities of wine and liquors. She also said that she had seen Mrs. Slack exhibit a violent temper on sev- |- eral occasions, in one Ike a wild _ beas speaking, of her give hin h—l. On behalf of Mrs. Slack, her counsel read the Geposition of Miss Alice Riggs, who stated that she never saw Mrs. Slack under the influence of liquor, rer had she ever seen her ect interperatcly or in any un- seemly manner. M Riggs said she kad never secn Mrs. Slack display a violent temper, nor had she ever heard her use improper language Her character was that of a devoted mother, mild in her man- agemen: of her children, and greatly en- jcying thei> society and companionship, un- ul they were taken away from her, with- out warrant, thcught Miss Riggs. Mrs. Slack. said the witre€ had told her of the din: er affair at Harv and of the instance going on remarking once, In sband, that she would unfortunate condition ef Mr. Barry Bulk- ley at the house, Mrs. Slack insisting that she should not be held responsible for Mr. Bulkley’s conduct, and assuring the ress that she (Mrs. Slack) had been guilty of no misconduct whatever at that time or at any other in connecticn with Mr. Bulk- ley or with any other man. ——.——__ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Local Notes of Interest From Across Rock Creek. The election of officers of Potomac Com- mandery, No. 3, Knights Templar, last night at Masonic Hall resulted as follows: Entl- nent commander, Wm. F. Hunt; generalis- simo, S. M. Yeatman; captain general, Dr. J. F. R. Appleby; prelate, Rev. R. K. Lewi: senior warden, John W. Thomas; junior warden, John E. Wagner; secretary, Fred W. Storch; treasurer, John H. Schultze; warden, Wm. S. Waddey. After the election the establishment of a Grand Commandery in the District of Co- lumbia was discussed and voted upon. The vote was unanimously in favor of the proposed commandery. Four commanderies as a whole have now voted on the question in the affirmative, and the fifth through an appointed committee. ‘There were three prominent, visiting knights present, viz., Frank H. Thomas, eminent commander of Noy 2, and member of the Grand Comman ery of the United States; Alex. Holt of No. 1 Commandery, and Alexander McKenzie of No. 5. All these gentiemen spoke of the advantages of Grand Commandery. Mr. Thomas’ friends are pushing him for the grand commandership. The canal boatman, Geo. W. Leopold, who, it is charged, killed David Markey on July 13 last, at Sandy Hook, on the canal line, has been indicted for murder by the grand jury of Hagerstown.
