Commissioner Alexander B. Cooper made a return, at Wilmington, Del., yesterday, rec- ommending to the superior court that the petition of Mrs. Rosalie B. Addicks, for an absolute divorce from her husband, J. Ed- ward Addicks, the gas man and politician, be dismissed at the cost of the petitioner. Mrs. Addicks’ lawy will attempt to open the case onthe question of costs, but it is not thought that they will take exception to the finding. Mr. Addicks stated that he in- tends to have a number of the witnesses ar- rested for perjury. Mrs. Addicks’ petition was filed in November, 184, when. Addicks Ived in the throes of a bitter con- tes: nited States Senator against An- thony Higgins—a contest which resulted in tion of neither. The ground laid for the divorce was adultery, Mrs, Ida Carr Wilson, in whose house Addicks had lived for some time, was named as co-respondent. ———_-+e+- — In the United States Circuit Court at Ra- leigh, N \e C., yesterday there were twenty- five convictions, mostly for moonshining. ANOTHER BIG CRUSH High School Night at the Téachers’ Bazaar. ° THOUSANDS WERE KEPT OUT Some of the Features of the Evening. IGHT’S PROGRAM > TON The doors of Convention Hall were thrown cpen to the public for the fourth session of the teachefs’ bazaar last evening at 7 o'clock. Just thirty minutes later the police ordered the same doors closed, after fully 7,000 of the same public had passed into the hall, and other thousands were fast gathering outside. It was but a repe- tition of the big crowd of Tuesday evening, | only”on a larger scale, as some declared. The date had been set aside 2s High School night, and the pupils of the higher insti- tutions of learning were jubilant over the fact that they drew a larger attendance than the third division, but the latter smiled as complacently as of yore, and called attertion to the fact that the East- ern High School is within the bounds of the third, and therefore its supporters are third division people. The pretty High School girls turned out en masse. They went early, and were nearly all inside when the doors were closed. Shortly after 8 o'clock the regi- ment of High School Cadets, eight_com- panies, entered to Sousa’s “High School Cadets’ March,” and was loudly cheered. At 9 o’clock, when the Washington Light Infantry Corps, under command of Maj. Burton R. Ross, and headed by the J. B. Henderson Drum Corps, drew nigh, it seemed utterly other person into the building. It was plainly apparent that the doors could not be opened, so once again the bridge leading from the National Guard Armory was rvice, and the military oozed Pushed the Entrance. After waiting outside for an hour or more many of those locked out departed, but a howling mob of smali boys made things generally hideous by pushing, shov- ing and yelling. Finally some one, who possessed a large burch ef keys, found one that would turn the bolt of one of the outer doors, and before the police and door- keer yeral hun- dred sons had forced an en- trance densely packed hail. dditional pe into the already High School Night. There ws not the slightest doubt that it was High School night, for immediately after the entrance of the High School Ca- dets the well-known yells of the various schools rent the air with ear-piercing vio- lence. The breaky-co-ax-co-ax of the Cen- tral was met with the inextinguishable wee wah of the Business, while the East- ern and Western were by no means silent. When the management irformed the boy: that the cries were doing the bazaar con- siderable harm, it may be said to .their credit that they discontinued the same at once. A majority of the cadets then de- voted their entire energies to the hereto- fore docile camel, and the poor beast be- came so perturbed in spirit that it actually balked with two commissioned officers on its back, and refused to move itil per- mitted to face about and return to its stall. Special Features. B. Patterson was” :n cHarge of t evening, while Mrs. W. the administration booth lz those who received were Mrs. Allan Davis, representing the Business High School; Miss Rita Spaulding from the Eastern, Miss Della D. Mussey of the Central and Miss Raith C. ‘ott from the Western, The high schools have won the reputation of doing well whatever they undertake, and not only last evening, but ev the opening cf the bazaar, throng: crowded the gaily decorated booth number of special features repre: combined effo1 of the memt section of the school.

Lamp shades are also shown in profuse array, and a_ striking feature ts a doll dressed as a foot ball player. It ts intended as a gift for a care- less child, for the more the doll is banged and broken the greater will be its likeness to the character it represents. Among the other articles offered for sale are fleld s, apple sachets, white boas, Turkish om China and Ja- pan and M wn work. While of- fering much for admiration and purchase, the Eastern booth has also reserved a space for science and fun. The boys of the school have arranged a basin of water, {n the bottom of which is a gold dollar.

The Review, the official organ of the Central School, last evening displayed a graphophone which is to be given to the person securing for the Review the great- est number of paid-up subscriptions before March 1, 1896. The rules for the contest are that only p bscriptions will be considered: mis pupils w and the race is open to all, but the first 10 turn in the funds to the publisher will be the first to receive the credit. The com- mittee of award consists of Dr. F. R. Lane, Miss Reynolds, Mr. Harry English. An art exhibit cecupying the southwest corner of the hall aud comprising hun- dreds of drawings by pupils and paintings by outsiders, all dcnated, 1s a spot much visited. The manual training, cooking and sewing exhibits were by no means ne- glected last evenirg, in the sewing depart- ment a lesson on Waist-drafting, conduct- ed by Miss Amelia Dalton, being watched by many spectators. In addition to the selections rendered by Donch’s orchestra, the J. B. Henderson Drum Corps, posted on the stage, played a number of airs. Early in the evening a tenor solo by Mr. William D. Mac¥Far- land, with Mr. D. G. Pfeiffer as accom- panist, was given and received with ap- plause. Mr. J. Rush Marshall, the architect who designed the arrangement of the hall, viewed the same for the first time last evening, and was heartily congratulated by all those whom he met. It has been the general impression that the bazaar would be closed with an auction sale, but this Is erroneous. The management de- sires to state that all the articles offered are marked at exceedingly low prices, and if any remain after the Close, they are to be placed on sale in a store. Tonight's Features. The following additional organizations have accepted invitations to attend the ba- zaar on the dates named: Light battery A, D. C. N. G, December 9; company B, third battalion, D. C. N.

Tomorrow the bazaar will be open from 11 o'clock in the morning, and children are to be admitted. AMUSEMENTS. Allen’s Grand Opera House.—Miss Clara Morris was seen last night in ‘amille.”” She was well supported, Mr. Colville and Miss Lavinia Shannon being especially no- ticeable for the excellence of their work. Tonight Miss Morris will be seen again in her great role of ‘“‘Miss Moulton.” Washington String Orchestra—The one concert given by the Washington String Orchestra last spring demonstrated that Mr. Ernest Lent had a body of young per- formers that could do extremely creditable work. This season he has enlarged his force, until it numbers over sixty perform- ers, and its first concert will take place to- morrow night at Metzerott Hall. The pro- gram will be such as will commend itself to lovers of musie, and will enable the or- chestra to be heard to good advantage. ‘The orchestral numbers will be Beethoven's “Marsch und Chor,” Gluck’s “Minuette Pas- tcrale,” Jean Vogt’s “Nachtgesang,” Schu- bert’s “Moment Musical.” Glotzsch’s “‘Lie- bes Sehnen,” Fuch’s “Minuet,” two elegiac melodies, by Grieg, and Schubert's “‘Hun- garian March.

There will be three violin solos— Wilam: Holcomb will De Beriot’s air “Varie,"|_ Fitzhugh Goldsborough will play two of Mr. Lent’s compositions, “Album Blatt” and “Gavotte and Musette,” and Miss Loutse Bohm’s “Sarabuide and Ma- zurka.”” There will bg but one vocalist, is Mary Helen Hows, who will sing the Ah, Fors e Lui,” aria ‘from “Traviata,” Mascagni’s “Préghiera' and Pizzi’s “Ave Maria.” With the last two there will be a violin obligato by Mr, Jos. Finckel. The sale of seats at Metzerott’s music store al- ready indicates a good’ attendance. “The Messiah.”—The honorary. members of the Choral Soclety Rave been actively engaged during this week in securing thelr seats for the oratorio of “The Messiah,” which is to be given by the Choral Society ‘The oratorio is one of the grandest sacred compositions ever written, and, aside from the loftly character of the theme, the music is of an attractive and melodious type, which pleases the most mixed ‘audi- ence. No one can listen to the Haflelujah chorus, as given by the Choral Society, without being thrilled, and there are other choruses that have the same effect. The soloists will be Miss Charlotte Maconder, soprano; Miss Ruth Thompson, contralto; Mr. E Taorne, tenor, and Dr. Cari Dutt, bass. The sale of honorary member- ship seats will continue at Ellis’ music store until Tuesday, when the general pub- lic will have an opportunity to secure seats at the same place. “Treland and the Irish."Rev. Hugh John- ston, D. D., will deliver a lecture this even- ing at the Metropolitan M. E. Church on “Ireland and the Irish.” The lecture will be illustrated, and Mr. Johnston will en- deavor to instill some new ideas into his hearers about this peculiar but well-known race. More Complaints of the Street Sweep- ing. Yo the Editor of The Eventny Star: I dislike fault finding, but there are times when it is permiss‘ble, especially when ap- plied to the miserable work still being done hy our street sweeping cfficials. As glar- ing proof of mismanagement and _ineffi- ciency, it 18 only necessary to call atten- tion to the work of last Monday. Every street west of 7th to 13th and south to nia avenue was miserably swept, because most of them were too wet, and no attempt should have been made to sweep them. Even the mud that was smeared over their surfaces into the gutters was allowed to remain, with the exception that » and there portions of it were left in icuous piies at prominent street in- tersections. It is not sufficient explana- tien of such disgraceful work that the rain prevented its removal. The inspector should not have permitted the work of sweeping to progress v hen it was evtdent to every- body that the machines were sweeping up nore dirt than the insufficient number of carts employed could possibly take away, eyen if It had been placed in heaps before the later and heavier rainfall compelled a cessation of all work. But if excuse can be framec for piling up more dirt than could be properly disposed of Monday, why was it allowed to remain all day Tuesday just as it was deposited by the brooms? It will occur to the erdinary mind that the superintendent of the street sweeping de- partment should have made it his special business to see that the contractor remov- ed it. That it was not done is evidence of deplorable inefficiency somewhere, and it may he further proof: of what has fre- quently been asserted, ‘that the contractor neglects to furnish the requisite number of carts for properly doing the work required by his two contracts, viz.: that for sweep- ing and cleaning the streets and that for sweeping end cleaning the alleys. During the term of night sweeping he can utilize his carts for cleaning alleys, which work is always prosecuted in. the deytime; but when both services are dcne under day- light, as rew, one set of carts cannot be used in two places at the same time, and unsatisfactcry results .aré simply inevita- ble. In their annual repert the Commissioners recommend en acditional..appropriation of $20,000 over that of 1896 for sweeping dur- ing the year 1897. The:sum now being ex- pended, if judiciously. distributed, should be ample to give us much cleaner thor- oughfares than we now have. The diffi- culty, I apprehend, Mes in the fact that many of these ere swept tco frequently, while others are not swept frequently enough. I have seen the machine brooms pass over street surfaces day after day that ieally did not need sweeping, while perhaps an adjcining street was left un- touched and in filthy condition. Let the sweepable territory be properly divided end the work of cleaning efficientiy super- interded, and it will be fcund that the money now being expended is sufficient to give us the cleanest streets in the country, as, indeed, they ought to be, most of them being surfaced with the finest, smoothest asphalt in the world.

He claims that in this country and Eng- land during the last few years one hun- dred young men have been Killed in foot ball games, and he defines this killing as murder. He says that even young women are being affected by the brutality of the game, and he asserts the game is lowering the standard of scholarship and discipline in the colleges. A Pool Seller Sent to Jail. Last month all the pool sellers at Cov- ington, Ky., were indicted. This has been a frequent occurrence for years, but the indictments have heretofore been nollied. This time the men were forced to trial. The first case, that of Sol Sharp, resuited yesterday in conviction. Sharp was fined $500 and sentenced to thirty days in jail. The cases of John.A.

If the permission be given and satisfactory terms can be arranged, Michigan will go to the coast. | Hoyt After the Colonels. LOUISVILLE, Ky., December 6.—Charles H. Hoyt 1s out after the Louisville Base Ball Club. He said: “If the stockholders of the Louisville club want ¢o sell I'll buy the whole franchise, and I'll do it before leaving the town. If they don’t care to sell out the entire team I will purchase a con- trolling interest. Anson is a personal friend of mine. I should only have to say the word, and the ‘Grand Old Man’ would shake the windy city and assume the manage- ment of the Louisville team. I intend to wait here three or four days for an an- swer from the club owners, and if it is favorable, I'll make Louisville, with Anson, a winner.” The Motocycle Race Winners. ‘The judges of the Chicago Times-Herald motocycle contest met yesterday and care- fully considered the claims of the vehicles which competed in the Thanksgiving day cortest.

Here on Their Private Car. “The Wanderer,” Morgan and Wright's private car, in which a party of twelve representatives of that firm are making a 6,000-mile trip, reached the city this morning. Invitation has been given to the cycling public, through the columns of The Star, to attend an informal reception on board the Wanderer this evening at the Pennsylvania station. In this connec- tion the gentlemen of the party wish to explain to those who intend to call on them that the car will not be allowed by.the railroad officials to remain in a convenient location. It has been sidetracked near South Capitol and K street, and those who desire to call and see a practical dem- onstration of the new quick repair tire will be welcomed on board the Wanderer at that place. The party leaves for Har- risburg this evening, unless they can ar- ‘range to change their transportation to another road, in which event they will go direct to Pittsburg. The trip began No- vember 18, and will end Christmas eve. ———_ To Save Betsy Ross’ House. Schuylkill Council, No. 12, Jr. O. U. A.
