There was ¢ large and fashionable attend- ance yesterday at the sale of the effects of the late Senior Thedim, Portuguese min- ister to the United States, who died in this city a few weeks #go. C. G. Sloan & Co. were the auctioneers. Only the distinctively personal effects of the minister and his household had been removed, otherwise the rooms were in order and the sale proceeded briskly. Many fine pieces of furniture and Kousehold effects were purchased, and the coliection of Turkish and Smyrna Tugs was especially valuable and brought good fig- ures _ Two Cutting Cases. ‘There were two cutting cases in the Po- lice Court yesterday, and Judge Miller heid both defendants for assault. Daniel Myers, from Willow Tree alley, was prisoner in one case and Minnie James, whom he had cut with a knife, was the prosecuting witness. Daniel and Minnie engaged in a dispute, but Judge Miller could see no reason for using the knife. A sentence of six months was imposed. Richard Dean, colored, was defendan the other case, Ue had trouble with J: M.tehell in the “Division” and cut him in the back. The wound was only a slight one, and in view of the circumstances under which the injury was inflicted, the court made the penalty a fine of $25 or sixty days. —_——. Verdict in Johnson Will Case. In the contest over the estate of the late Mary J. Johnson, a verdict was ren- dered late yesterday afternoon sustaining the will of the deceased. The estate Is said to be valued at about $40,000, and the will was contested by James F. Kelly, who contended that the will in question, made in December, 1894, was invalid because of the alleged menial incapacity of the testa- trix. He submitted an alieged former will, in which he was given about $20,000. But that instrument was shown to have been repudiated by the testatrix, who also re- voked a power cf attorney given Kelly to collect interest on certain bonds. The will sustained divided the estate among tie heirs and others, and also contained a be- quest of, $4,000 to the Lincoln Memorial Church, lly was represented by J. J. Johnson and James Stewart, E. M. Hew- lett and Wm, A. Cook appearing on behalf of the beneficiaries. ——— The Deakin Collection.

SCENES AT THE CARNIVAL Tateresting Features of the Night Devoted to Oarsmen. Living Pictures and Gymimastica—The Mysterious Lady and Gther At-- tractions of the Fair. A varied entertainment, every number of which was of special interest, was pre- pared fer the visitors to the Columbia Athletic Club house last evening. The home of the club wore an air of unusual sprightliness, the illumination on its roof casting a flood of light to guide the vis- itors to the carnival, while within doors there was a scene of coziness that was en- joyed by the visitors, who showed their appreciation of the efforts of the club men to amuse them by a liberal patronage. Last evening was known as “boating night” at the club. There was a large representation present of the Old Domin- ion Chub of Alexandria, and of the Ana- lostans and Potomacs of this city. Features of the Evening. “Napoleon announcing to Josevhine his project for divorce," was the feature in the living picture exhibition, which iook place in the “gym” at 9 o'clock. Miss Fauntleroy made a charming Josephine, while Mr. George V. Chandler sustained the role of Napoleon with great credit. The famous painting of Pagliano was sought to be reproduced by the posers. Miss Zoe Rigby gave a skirt dance that was a model of grace. Fine gymnastic work was done in the execution of the chair pyramids, in which Messrs. EB. D. Sewall, J. R. Elder, W. M. Mooney, O. Ross, H. Cabrera, H. F. Hallbrooke and G. ‘A. Spurrier took part. The instrumental duo, Messrs. Cullen and Collins, banjoists, were accompanied by E. M. McEnaney on the piano, and performed with pleasing effect. ‘The Fates,” after Paul Thuman, was the last art reproduction of the even- ing. Miss Fauntleroy, Miss Knowlton and Mrs. Hempstone impersonated the ¢char- acters of the famous painting. ‘The several special features of entertain- ment being run at the fair all proved at- tractive last evening and were well patron- ized. The paddle stand attracted many pat- rons throughout the evening. Messrs. Beail, Brittain, Duke and Flynn auctioneered the paddles, and their lusty efforts resulted jin meny sales. “The Mysterious Lady’’ con- tinued to draw crowds, Miss Lilian Cava- raugh taking the part of the mysterious person. At the world’s fair there was an attraction of this kind, and the great inter- est shown in it there suggested the advisa- bility of having the idea executed here. The Mysterious Lady. ‘The mysterious lady, as seen by specta- ters, is cut in half, and rests on a table on her waist, appearing well contented with the loss of half of her body. The visitors are nonplused in their efforts to find a solution for the illusion, and nine of every ten guecses are wrong. Z The booth in which photographs are taken by electric light did a thriving business last evening. L. L. Korn was in charge of tie picture gcllery, and he has obtained excel- lent results with his camera. There was no feature of the fair that way rot well patronized last evening. The post office handled a heavy mail, and the supper room was filled nearly all the evening. The concluding ard, in the opinion of many, one of the most pleasant features of the occa- s.on, began upon the annquncement that dancing was in order at 10:30 o'clock. There was an excellent floor and the gymnasium was filled with dancers. Military Night. Military night is the attraction at the fair tonight. There will be a large and dis- tinguished gathering. Among invited guests are Brigadier General Albert Ord- way and staff; Col. Wm. G. Moore and staff (first regiment); Col. Cecil Clay and staff (second regiment); Troop “A;” Washington Light Infantry; Light Battery; Engineer Corps; officers stationed at Fort Myer; offi- cers stationed at marine barracks. Prof. Fanciulli will lead the full Marine Band, which will play throughout the évening. ‘There will also be an unusually attractive program rendeved in the gymnasium, which will include art impersonations. The An- gelus and a “Foot Ball Group’ will be impersonated. There will be music by the Mt. Pleasant Field Band. The athletic ex- hibition of the evening will be “Rowan Ladders,” in which T. B. Nolan, sr., J. R. Elder, O. Ross, H. F. Hailbrooke, C. Lur ford, G. A. Spurrier, F. Waters, H. Cabrera and J. Crow will take part. Private High will give an exhibition in broad-sword work. High is the famous swordsman of the fam- ous sixth United State$ cavalry. Prof. Dar- riulatt, the instructor of the club, will also contribute to the athletic exhibition. The Band Program Tonight.

Street Extension Cases Postponed Until Monday, Foreman Louis D. Wine reported to Judge Cox this morning that the jurs ease 419, Denison and Leighton’s subdiv jon, one of the forty-seven subdivisions embraced within section one of the ap- proved plan of street extension, had since the adjournment of the case Wednesday last, carefully examined the eighty-three parcels of land in the subdivision and the improvements thereon, and that the jury were, therefore, ready to listen to the tes- timony to be submitted by the District and the respective land owners. Mr. S. T. Thomas of counsel for the District stated to the court that the District would prob- ably call at least six witnesses, but, un- fortunately, he was not prenared to pro- ceed today. He, therefore, suggested that the case be postponed until Monday next, when the District would be ready to pro- ceed. The testimony on behalf of the Dis- trict, thought Mr. Thomas, could be con- cluded in one day. Until Monday. Mr. Nathaniel Wilson, representing sev- eral of the owners, said that while the owners were exceedingly anxious that the case should be completed at the earliest day possible, they would not oppose a continuance of the case until Monday, pro- vided the District would surely be pre- pared to proceed at that time. Mr. Thomas assured Mr, Wilson that the Dis- trict would be ready to then proceed, whereupon Judge Cox excused the jury until 10 o'clock Monday morning, remark- ing that the case would then proceed until completed. Prob: le Length. Speaking to a Star reporter of the prob- able length of the hearing, Mr. W. L. Cole, representing a number of the owners, stated that the number of witnesses to be called on behalf of fhe owners would de- pend largely upon the number of witnesses called by the District, and also upon the character of their testimony. Mr. Cole thought, however, that the testimony in would be so concluded not later than the latter part of next week that the case could be submitted to the ju Counsel on both sides will, of course, have the right to argue the case before the jury, but all that could be done in time to allow the jury to take the case next Friday or Sat- urday, he believed. ee The Yale Laundry is Responsible for All Losses —by fire or otherw!

Several old pensioners who drew their quarterly allowance two days ago and spent mast of it in low liquor saloons appeared in the Police Court today either as prisoners or witnesses. None of them had money enough to pay for another drink. Most of them were in court for the purpose of giving evidence against tramps whose suspicious conduct caused the police to arrest them. The assault and robbery of Mrs. Hudson, as well as several other depredations commit- ted by strangers who are either tramps or criminals, has caused the police to renew their exertions in the direction of ridding the city of these strangers, and those found loi- tering about the stree: whether in the neigtiborhood of free lodging houses or other Places, will be arrested and brought in. Al- ready the police have raided several of the cheap lodging houses and made a number of arrests of persons who are able to beg money enough during the day to pay for their lodg- ing. Yesterday Precinct Detective Hartigan and Policeman Coghill made five arrests about the cheap lodging houses facing the Capitol, and this morning the prisoners taken stood in a row before Judge Kimball as vagrants and suspicious persons. An old pensioner was a witness in the case, but he had been drinking to such an extent that he was unable to identify any of the de- fendants as the men in whose company he was when he was robbed of his pension money. But the officers had been watching the movements of the men and had charged them under the names James Smith alias “Joker,”” Harry Nichols, James Conklin Newark Thomas Roach alias “Bal- and William Harvey alias “Chicago Tom.” Judge Kimball heard the statements of the defendants and released three of them.on their personal bonds to leave the city. If they do not leave immediately and are again arrested they will be sent down. Nichols and Smith were each given fifteen day C William Plank a stranger, who was arrest- ed for begging, told the judge that he came here looking for work. “Iam not a professional tramp,” he said. “I'm a working man, as my hands show.” “What are you doing here?” “I expected to get work on the city post- office, but when I reached here I found that the iron work was about finished.” “You can’t beg of the public,” said court. “Begging here means from thirty to ninety days on the farm. But you do not look like the ordinary tramp, and if you will promise to leave here I'll give you the oppor- tunity to do so.” Tl leave “Personal bonds.”” Hugh Dugan admitted that he was home- less and penniless and asked for an oppor- tunity to leave. “I've worked here for some days, nd now I have nothing to do. What did you do with the money you earned?” “Spent it.” “For whisky?” “Yes, sir.” He was sent down for five days. James Dugan, another stranger in the city, got drunk yesterd was guilty of inde- cent conduct near a school building. | , Drunkenness was his plea, and the court imposed a fine of $20 or sixty days. eas TO BUILD A W SYNAGOGUE the Preparations In Progress for Holding a Hebrew Fair.

THE SHAKESPEAR PROBLE: Librarian Spofford’s Lecture Before the Carroll Institute Last Night. A large audience heard Librarian Spofford of the Congressiona! Library, deliver a lec- ture on “The Shakespeare Problem” at Car- roll Institute Hall last evening. Mr. Spofford was introduced by Rev. D. J. Staff In order to accentuate the good qualities of Shakespeare's writings Mr. Spofford con- trasted his wotks with those of Bacon, the comparison proving exceedingly favorable to the immortal bard. The lecturer showed that none of Bacon's writings gave any evilence that their author had ever been influenced by a thought of love. He said that while the works in question for the moment were full of poetic inspiration and evinced great labor in their preparation, yet they showed | no signs of that spiri e that so often | kindles the mind o der of Shakes peare. In contrast to this lack of the ciation of beauty. and love in Bacon ings Mr. Spofford pointed out the splenc collection of women which Shak: works give us. The speaker the difference existing between the two writers under compar’ White Bacon used obsolete sentences and antiquat- ed forms, he said, teeming with the Latin, Shakespeare used plain, straightfors sinewy English, and only a small proport of the words which he employed to expr: his meaning have gone out of general use. ‘To bring out more forcibly the inferiority of the former’s work when compared with that of the latter the lecturer used“Carlyle’s er! cism that “Bacon could as easily have cre- ated this planet as write ‘Hamlet. Mr. Spofford’s audience followed him intently and appreciated the good points which were made by liberal and hearty applause. — Parlor Talk on “Siberia.” The Young Men’s Christian Association will resume its series of parlor talks this evening at 8 o'clock, in its temporary rooms, 1425 New York avenue northwest.

Proposed Effort to Educate the Coun- try—Other Questions of In- terest to Labor. The all-absorbing topic. at the present ‘time in the ranks of jorganized labor throughout the country is as to what will be the outcome of the national convention of the American Federation of Labor to begin in New York city Monday next. A letter received in this city during the past week relates considerable detail of the work to be presented to the convention. It says that ex-President Samuel Gomper: who will represent the Cigar Makers’ Inte rational Unien, will offer a resolution that the executive courcil be directed to use all honorable means in their power to procure the passage of a law by Congress or an or der from the President for the publication ef government contracts and the pé of the contracts in the Labor Bull United States. . so intended by one of the other lead- nizatons, through ‘is de tin of the the convention, to ask that two m ent at the expense of the America ion of Labor for a limited tim» to t outhern states for the purpose {f po: izing the textile operatives. As might have been expected, Chicago will make an effcrt to have the headwuarter permanently established at that city, in- stead of Leing at Indianapolis, the residence ible cf organ- of President McBride, where they are now located. When the convention was held in Chicago two years ago the question of mak- ing the headqu vas brought rters in Chicago before the meeting and the chief reason it was defeated was because, it is said, the delexates from the anions in that city did not display sufficient energy in pushing the matter. The following is a copy of the resolutions in reference to the proposed eight-hour day, which, as foreshadowed in The Star, be probably the giost important mat- r to be brought before the convention: Whereas, We are fully cognizant that general introduction of machinery, the division and subdivision of labor has large- quickened the methods of the produc- n of wealth; that the productivity of the lers has heen, and is, daily accelerated, and that in consequ ic oft ecome more burden- some . and for the purpose of securing more leisure and opportunity for the overworked and remunerative em- ployment for the workless workers, we, the d-legates to the fifteenth annual con- vention of the American Federation of bor, demand, on economic, s 1, polit- 1, hygienic and moral grounds, that the ef labor of America’s wor! ‘olved, That the executive council be, and the upon ihe a e hereby, directed, immediately rnment of this convention, ue an address to the wage-earners of ountry, urging them to join the ns of their respective trades or call- uch unions exist, and to where there are none now, with ¢ ew of securing for them all pos sible advantages aceruing from organiza Le ly to put in operation the |, That the president ‘ive officers of national and unions affiliated with the Amer tition of Labor that this ¢ vention authorize sutive council to se les to make the de y. to enter into the notify the in or vhich it has been de- to bring forward will be to en- to get employers to concede an cight-nour day voluntarily, to secure the co-operation of the press, pulpit, pubhe kers and reformers xeneraliy,the hold- of pubtic throughout the country on Wa s birthday, Febra- and on May 1,: 18 xeneral ngs all ove demo» the tration and public mee ates he DSS Shee eS ~ Aches And pains of rheumatism can be cured © by removing the cause, lactic acid int ® Lleod.

A musical and literary entertainment was given by the students of Wood’s Commercial College last evening at Baum’s Hall, corner of 4th and East Capitol streets, which was enjoyed by a large audience.

Mr. Court F. Wood, principal of the college, made an address, taking as his sub- ject the many opportunities which are given every American business young man of to- day and the account to which he might turn them.
