AFTERNOON AND” EVENIN In the expectation of another immense throng nearly everyone visited the teachera’ bazaar early last evening, and as a result it was not necessary to close the déors, al- though it is safe to say that fully 12,000 persons were in the hall during the even- ing. Those who went early left early, and at 7:30 o'clock as continuous a stream of humanity was passing out as was at the time entering. This state of affairs contin- ued throughout the evening. It was first division night, and the mem- bers of that portion of the school system claimed that {t was the best of all at the bazaar, for everyone went with the con- sciousness that lessons “Hd*not have to be learned for today and that a long nap might be indulged in this morning. Thou- sands of pretty yellow badges, with bell and_ brownle decoration, were proudly worn by young and old, and yellow marked the first division display as well.as the pupil and friend. As heretofore described, the first thing one sees on entering the nall is the yetllow-trimmed popcorn booth, where it seems almost impossible to supply the de- mand. Popcorn may be purchased hot or cold, salted or sugared, or rojled into Falls with molasses. Just beyond the pillar is she Jack Horner pie, with Jack himself in attendance, who last evening gave every- body who surrendered five cents an oppor- tunity to draw forth a plum. The bureau of information, decorated in yellow, is also conducted by the first division, and last evening innumerable questions weré ‘asked and answered. Here also art gallery tuck- ets were sold, railroad kets dirvposed of, suburban lots purchased yarey articles recovered. Dir Handsome Dixapiay. The first division display proper is in three handsomely decorated booths on the left of the middle of the haJJ, with Brownie Lanners floating aloft. There was a ready sale last, evening for all sorts ef cushions for sofas and divans and chair, for bu- reaus and baskets and bags; yellow and pink and blue, satin, satine, and silk, dain- ty embrolderies, costly china, boxes of gloves and many other articles. In an ad- joining booth is shown a display of dolls— hig dolls and little dolls, brides in satin and gauzy veil, dainty little misses in soft wool dresses, babies in long clothes and old ladies in caps. The third booth con- tains all sorts of things for real babies, from socks to caps, baby literature to playthings, and the whole forms a most attractive exhibit. Mother Goose and a large number of her children had a special space allotted to them last evening, where, in full costume, they dispense their wares. A drawing fea- ture last evening was a Kinder symphony, given by forty of the teacncrs of the first division, whose names were published in yesterday's Star. Some were drummers, others blew the trumpets, clashed the cym- bais, rung bells, played’ the ‘cello, piano and violin. A gypsy tambourine dance, un- der the direction of Miss Avis Mage, and a recitation by Miss Zue Brockett, were re- celved with applause, as were selections by the National Mandolin Club, under the di- rection of Mrs. Alice Marble. The Sixth United States Cavalry Band from Fort Myer occupied the band stand and added much to the pleasure of the evening. The Guests. At the administration booth Mrs. C. 8. Clark, Miss 1. B. Holbrook, Mrs. Springer, Miss King, Mrs. Wilbur and Mrs, S. M. Ryder made most charming host>ases, and greeted many old friends. The guests of the evening were the Morton Cadets, under Capt. ar A. Shilling. They entered the hall from the bridge leading trom the > tional Guard Arinory, and marched about the bazaar under escort of Mr. A. 'T. Siew- art. All the attractions were -vell pa- tronized last evening. Mrs. A. C. Pollock gave a lesson in cooking on bread, rolls while a se by Mrs. M. and cinnamon buns, son was conducted ry. One of the most attractive spots of the bazaar {s the candy booth of second di- vision B.

Eckloff against the Washing- ton Gas Light Company, and tn that of Pat- rick Dougherty and Robert O. Laskey nst the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, the judgment of the court below being affirmed in each case, in favor of the respective plaintiffs, In the first case, in which Mr. Eckloft re- covered a judgment of $3,000 against the de- fendant company {t appeared that in examin- ing a defective water meter with a candle he was injured by an explosion which followed, from the escape of illuminating gas. It also appeared that he examined it omy after Wie employes of the company had assured him there was no danger tn so doing, It was laimed by the company, however, that Mr. Kkioff himself was guilty of negligence, but the appellate court holds that he was justi- fied In relying upon the assurances of the company's employes because of their right- ly presumed experience and knowledge. In the second case the plaintiffs recovered a judgment of $150 for the loss of three horses. ‘They were also awarted into o+ + the value of the horses from the time of thelr death in the rauroau ace.uen se Court of Appeals, in affirming the judgment, holds that it was warranted because the ac- cident was a breach of contract for the safe delivery of the horses, not being an action in tort. LOADED REVOLVER. it Was a Stranger’s Only Personal Bagenge. About 4 o'clock yesterday morning Po- liceman Archembault of the ninth precinct was starding in the doorway of Dellwig’s grocery store, corner of Massachusetts av- enue and 2d street northeast, when he no- ticed two men coming from opposite direc- tions. One of them proved to be a man on his way heme from the government print- ing office, while. the other was a colored man from Baltimore. They were on oppo- site sides of the avenue when the officer first saw them, and the colored man, cross- ing the street, stopped the government em- ploye and asked to be directed to a police station. The colored man kept one hand in his side coat pocket while he conversed with the man from whom he wanted the information, amd this aroused the officer's suspicion. Leaving the shaded hiding place the officer started in the direction of the two men, and the colored man, seeing he was an officer, started to leave. “Hold on, there,” the officer called to him. “What is that you have in your ot?” ome cakes,” the colored man answered, but without any hesitation the officer grab- bed for the side pocket and found that the man had in his hand a loaded revolver. Isaac Reddie was the name he gave, anil he told the officer that he had walked here from timore. This statement he repeat- ed to Judge Miller in court yesterday. He left Baltimore Thursday morning, so he said, and walked along the line of the Bal- timore and Potorac railroad until he reached the bridge, and then he entered the city. When questioned by the court, the pris- oner said he was out of work, and he thought he would come here and enlist in the navy. Judge Miller inquired why he did not sell his pistol and come here on the cars if he intended to go in the navy, but he said he thought the weapon would not have brought the price of a railroad ticket. He brought it with him, he said, for protec- tion. He was sentenced to four_months in jail, and the destruction of the weapon was or- dered. ———__ ENTERTA Arranging Plans for the Big C. E. Convention. A meeting of the entertainment commit- tee of the committee of ‘06 was held yes- terday afternoon at headquarters, in the Lenman building. This was the first meet- ing since the organization of the commit tee, and there was only one absentee, the members present being Miles M. Shand, chairman; Norman T. Eiliott, Clayton C. Slocum, W. I. Simpson and W. W. War- wick. The work before the committee was of a preliminary character, but considerable active work was planned. Those hotels in the clty who have not yet informed the committee as to the number of guests they will accommodate during the convention were divided up among the members for the purpose of canvessing for rates, &c. Already this committee has heard from ten hotels on the subject, and in the aggre- gate provision hasbeen made for nearly four thousand delegates. Several of the transportation agents of the various state unions have visited Washington and con- tracted with some of the hotels for head- quarters for their delegations. It wil! interest every fricnd and member of the Christian Endeavor movement to Yearn that the Chinese umbrella of state which was awarded to the District of Co- lumbia at the Boston convention last year will remain permanently at the nation’s capital, year b¥ reason of its excellent showing in mission work, and the umbrella has been taken by the missionary comrnittee to the various societles where missionary meet- ings were being held. It has become a fa- miliar object to all the Endeavorers, and they will be delighted at the determination of the officers of the United Society that it is to rémain as a permanent testimonial to the interest and zeal Washingtor has shown in the missionary movement. It is more than probable that its presence here will stimulate the Ende: rers to renewed activity in behalf of missions. As has al y been stated in ‘The Star, two new str om Canton, China, were received last Monday to replace those which were so sco: hea and discolored at the time of the Y. M. C. A. The new streamers are Sylora te and elab- orately embrol ey are blue, and will contrast well with the colors of the umbrella itself. ————— NEWTON WAS H in Court. Policeman Posey of the third precinct, who figured in the desperate encounter with Majer Newton, colored, about three weeks ago, as printed in The Star at the time, was able to appear in the Police Source yest eraaye aiternoons and give) dence against his alleged assaflant. Mayfield, one of the police surgeons, gave evidence concerning the officer's condi- tion. He was struck with a brick and there is a depression against his lungs, which ‘auses hemorrhage, and an ugly cough. ‘The officer is losing flesh every day, and there is no certainty that he will ever fully recover. The colored man's head was also battered and he was lame from injuries ne had received during the strug- evi- Dr. gle. ‘The affair happened near 18th and L streets. Newton was drunk and was ar- rested for disorderly conduct and profan- ity, He r ed arrest and during the struggle the officer received a severe frac- ture of the ribs. The policeman used -his pistol, but without effect. Judge Miller heard the evidence of the officer and other witnesses and the de- fendant made a denial of the charge. He denied that he threw a brick and claimed that he was ill-treated by more than one policeman, both before and after he was taken to the hospital. Lawyer Moss argued the case, directing his remarks to the policeman, whom he arraigned for the part he had taken in the fight, and commented on the manner in which the arrest was made. Judge Miller suggested that the police- man might have hired a brass band and a carriage when he wanted to make the ar- rest. The record showed that within about two years’ time Newton has been arrested twenty-six times. Judge Miller held Newtoa for the action of the grand jury and he was committed in default of $500 security. —_——.—__ COURT OF APPEALS. Two Decisions Affirming Those of the Court Below Made. In the Court of Appeals yesterday after- ncon an opinion, written by Mr. Chief Jus- tice Alvey, was handed down in the case of Patrick Dougherty and Robert Lackey against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, aifirming the decision of the court below, which was against the rail- road company. Dougherty and Lackey sted to recover on the loss of three horses shipped on the Baltimore and Ohlo from Harrisonburg to this city, which were kill- eden route. The questions involved in the appeal were the right to recover interest on the value of the horses from the date of loss, and the form of the verdict. An opinion affirming the decision of the court below was also handed down in the case of Christian F. Eckloff against the Washington Gas Light Company, in which Mr. Eckloff recovered damages for an ex- plosion of gas, the result of a defective meter. The opinion was written by Mr. Justice Shepard — Mystery Story Final Chapter. Today {s printed in The Star the last chapter before the final chapter in the mystery story, “Before They Were Mar- ried.” The interval between today and next Wednesday at 6 o'clock p.m., inclu- sive, Is allowed for forwarding guesses io the office.

This pros- pectus looks attractive and is worth con- sidering. The local union won the prize last | MONEY TO PAY THE DEBT. Citizens Pledge Sums to Relieve the Central Uniow Mission. A few weeks ago a conference of business men who are interesteg in the Central Union Mission was held at the home of a well- known citizen and lawyer. At this meeting it was decided to raise the money to pay the second trust on the mission building on Louisiana avenue, which amounts. to $12,000, including principal and interest. Nine men pledged $6,500 at this conference, and decid- ed to call another meeting later with a view to securing the total amount required. The sums pledged are to be paid in four pay- ments, one-fourth cash and one-fourth every six months until paid. In addition to this movement the board of directors of the mis- sion have nearly canceled the debt on cur- rent expenses and have reduced the debt of the rel.ef fund. The tinances of the mission are materially improved, and if other friends respund as generously as the citizens men- tioned there will soom be nothing on the building but the first mortgage, which can be carried very easily for a time. Of the relief money, however; the authorities are without a dollar remaining, though pitiful appeals are coming in for help. ‘The officers have just adopied new meth- cds of separating theé-worthy unemployed men from professional tramps with a view to eliminating the worthless class and en- couraging the really» deserving laborers. Now, before a man can»have any of the privileges of the reading room or other parts of the building, he must appear before the superintendent and register, after under- going an examination.’ He is then given a icket with his register mumber and this must be presented beforeshe can be admit- ted to the reading room, ;woodyard, dormi- tories or other branches of the institution. If a man does not werk: in the woodyard and cannot'show other means of support a note of the facts Is entere@ against his name and number, and he is driven away from the premises. The work of the mission is this year better organized than ever before and the results are demonstrating the wis- dom of these new methods already. The free dispensary which was estab- lished three weeks ago has proved to be a source of great relief to the poor. During its brief existence 89 new cages have been treated, the number of visits is 341, number of patients sent tq the hospital, 5; number of eye cases treated, 18; number of glasses fur- nished, 8, and number of throat and nose patients treated, 34. Dr. W. A. Wells has charge of the general medicine department end diseases of the chest, Dr. J. B. Harmer of the eye department and Dr. J. J. Rich- ardson-treats the throat, nose ard ear pa- tients. The hours have heen divided as fol- lows: From ) to 2:20 and fron®6 to 7 p.in. ‘The new rescue mission in Baltimore, which Mr. E. D. Bailey of this city started by a talk to the business men of that city, and patterned after the Washington Central Union Misston, has organized with a board of twelve directors. ‘The mission 1s to be Iccated on Baltimore street, and will prob- ably engage Andrew Thompson of the local mntssion as superintendent. He is the con- verted saflor who was last year building superintendent. The Baltimore m‘ssion has the backing of the strongest pastors and j laymen of that city and btds fair to become a strong organization. —— Loyal Legion Entertainment.

Mr. Murrey Explains the Possibilities of the Chafing Dish. “Cookery as a Science’ has been amply discussed by the authors of all text books in chemistry, and cookery as a duty is a familiar incident of every household. But cookery as a fine art is yet in its youth. That it is a@ most vigorous and promising youth, however, was shown by the interest and approval with which the public’ received the lecture at Metzerott Hall yesterday afternoon, by Mr. Tom Murrey, the proprietor of the House restaurant, whose achievements have won him the confidence, not only of statesmen who are gourmets, but of gour- mets who do not permit even the cares of patriotism to intrude upon their favorite pursuits. Mr. Murrey considered codkery more as a polite accomplishment than as a perfunctory. element of household routine. And, in order to make it a satisfactory ac- complishment, clearness and minute exact- ness were, of course, necessary. Mr. Mur- rey thoroughly recognized this fact. There was no mistaking his instructions as to the precise kind of cheese that will make a welsh rabbit, and the particular moment when the ale should make its debut in that most interesting and delicate performance. His remarks on the chafing dish awakened many people, for the first time, to its im- portance as a practical uten and the specimens of his cooking submitted to the critical palates of the audience were con- clusive proof of the correctness of all his claims for it. The blending of materials,so familiar as to seem almost commonpiace to produce dishes of delightful piquancy, was Gne of the most attractive features of Mr. Murrey’s unique entertainment, and were as much as anything he said sub- jects of attention from the prudent who came armed with pencils and note books. The tecturer was particularly careful to al- low plenty of time for the reduction to writing of each recipe that he used, and at the conclusion of his remarks answered all questions and received on the stage those of the audience who Gesired to inspect el ly the paraphcrnalia of his profe ‘Th. men, young and old, were part exact in thelr efforts to carry away ever: point of the disccurse. The concise lucidity with which Mr. Murrey explained matters hitherto. regarded as mysteries sacred to the high-salaried chefs wi as entertain- ing as it was instructive. The manner in which he adapted Fis instructions to the resources of the Washington markets, to which he referred as being among the best in the courtry, was also a noteworthy sub- ject of approval. Mr. Murrey’s next lec- ture, which occurs on ‘Tuesday, will be on fish and shellfish—topics which the abund- ance and variety yielded by the Potomac river and Chesapeake bay make peculiarly interesting in this city.
