Se Balloons for Coast Defense. To the Eiiter of The Evening rz I would like to suggest that, in case of war wi England, or any foreign power, their vessels lying from ten to twelve miles eff from our large cities, be met by a trained corps of balloonists, with explosives, who, after they had done their work, could be picked up out at sea beyond the enemy by some swift cruisers. To this end, let the government select active, daring, in- telligent young men, and so prepare them by study and practice in the use of air ves- sels or balloons as to make it an impossible thing for any war vessels to lie “off our large citles or coast within cannonading distance. Let the government that revolu- tionized all former naval methods by its monitors now lead in this, and make a trained corps of balloonists a part of its War measures. I suggest this as an eco- nomical means of defense for our lakes and large coast cit Let each have its trained balloon or air vessel corps. We have some practical, intelligent and fairly trained balloonists, and their services a3 teachers would make a geod beginning. Germany has already obtained the knowledge by hich a balloon can be held stationary. Now let American brains, that are behind tn no other field, be equal to the emergency pt rning. if ich a thing is possible, not only to hold stationary, but to steer air vessels, and If this can be accomplished, powerful explosives dropped from the clouds will make war vessels and battle ships a t s of the past as regards coast attacks. ®uch a trained corps on our lakes and at each of our coast cities would more than counterbalance our inferiority In war ves- ‘els as regards England.

Mrs. Eash CLUBS AND LICENSES Police Report Lista of Organizations That Dispense Liquors. Many That Have Not Complied With the License Law — Prosecu- tion to Be Urged. According to the recent decision of Judge McComas, clubs which dispense liquors to its members must operate under a liquor license. With this decision before it, the excise board, in a day or so, will certify to the major of police a lst of those clubs which have not applied for license, and ask that proceedings be at once instituted against them. Several days ago the excise board re- quested the major of police to certify to it the clubs in the city where intoxicating liquors are sold. Accordingly, notices were sent to each Heutenant to supply such a list for his precinct, and today these lists were forwarded to the excise board. In the first precinct the Cosmos Club and the Plate Printers’ Club have applied for license. Those in this precinct which have not posted their license fee are the follow- ing: Down Town Club, Monkey Club, Home Club, Columbia Bicycle Club, Morton Club and National Fencible Club. There are no clubs reported in the second precinct. In the third precinct the Army and Navy and the Metropolitan clubs have applied for licenses, but the University Club, the Alibi Club, the Columbia Athletic Club and the Acanthus Club have not applied. In the fourth precinct the Monday Club is the only one reported, and it has rot yet made application for a liquor license. In the fifth precinct there is one club, the Potomac German American Club, and it has applied for a license. In the sixth the Buena Vista Club has a license, but the Concordia and Saengerbund have not applied. There is but one club in the seventh pre- einct, the Riverside Pleasure Club, aud it has not applied for a license. » A peculiar state of affairs exists in the eighth precinct. The only c! there is the Washington Outing Club, ani it has not applied for a license. If it had it would net receive it, for the reason that the club heuse is within a mile of the Soldiers’ Heme. The Brightwood Driving Clud has a license. It is understood the excise board proposes to urge prosecutions against these clubs, ard will recommend that the presidents thereof be served with warrants for seliing intoxicating liquors without license. SS DR. BUTLER’S BIRTHDAY. Members of His Congregation Make It Pleasant for Him. Rev. Dr. J. G. Butler, pastor of the Luther Memorial Church, was tendered a reception by the members of his congrega- tion last night to congratulate him upon the seventleth anniversary of his birth. 'The affair was an entire surprise to Dr. Butler, and a success in every way. The reception took place in the Sunday school room of the Memorial Church on Thomas Circle, which was prettily deco- rated with flage, evergreens and potted palms. Dr. and Mrs. Butler received the guests, assisted by a committee of ladies, representing the church and the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor. These were: Mrs. Nairn, Mrs. W. H. Fin- E ED Mrs. George Graham, Mrs. Slaybaugh, Mrs. Randolph, , Mrs. F. Schneider, Miss Grace Seiffert, Miss Hurley, Miss Miss Robinson, Miss Jackson and Mickle. musical program contributed by Prof. A. W. Meyer and Mr. Schultz, Dr. J. Graham, representing the congregation, sented Dr. Butler with a rocking chair his study and a handsome lamp. Dr. onded briefly, thanking the con- egation for their,sympathy and love, of which he had received abundant assur- ances during his pastorate. He spoke of himself as one of the young men in the church, and would almost belleve, he said, aaa t his father had made a mistake of ten ars when he entered the date of his birth 1 s January 5. An elaborate supper was served by a com- mittee of the Christian Endeavor Society,in whose charge all the arrangements for the reception were placed, during which greet- ings on behalf of the congregation, the ¥ school and the Society of Christian were given by erintendent Wiiliam H. Finckel and President C, E. Mr. L. D. Alden of St. Paul's English Lutheran Church brought the greeting of the friends of other churches. By a singular coincidence there were present last evening two other Lutheran ministers, each of whom was born in the same year with Dr. Butler. They were Rev. Dr. Louis M. Kuhns and Rev. Dr. Samuel Domer, the latter being just six days ahead of Dr. Butler in the race of time. Both of these divines spoke, and loth of them look quite as hale and hearty as he in whose honor they were present. A number of Lutheran clergymen and their wives were present at the reception as well as pastors of churches of other denominations. All day yesterday Dr. But- Jer was the recipient of handsome floral tributes, and one feature of the day was specially pleasant to him, and to which he referred in his address last evening, name- ly, a visit in the afternoon from the mem- bers of his junior Endeavor Society. —_—>___ A Choir Banqueted. © A banquet was tendered to the choir of St. Patrick’s Church last night by Rev. Father Gloyd, the pastor of the chureh. The affair took place at Freund's, and cov- ers were laid for about fifty members and gu@@ts of the choir, the room being decor- ated in an exceedingly tasteful and artis- tic manner. Father Gloyd occupied the head of the table, Professor Maina, Madame Maina, Mr. Bernard Ryan, Mrs. Ryan, Miss Boone and Miss Blanche Mat- tingly occupying places on his right and left. Toasts were offered and respon:led to by Father Gloyd, Professor Maina, Mr. Ryan and Mr. Paul H. Cromelin. Vocal selections were rendered by Madame Maina, Mr. Ryan and Miss Mattingly, the music doing much ® enhance the pleasure of the evening. Some of those who enjoyed the good things, besides those mentioned, were Mr. and Mrs. W. D. McFarland, Mrs. Mattingly, Mrs. Wm. H. Combs, Miss Jen- rie Mudd, Bessie Hickey, Mr. and Mrs. Paul F. Cain, Miss Carrie Wood, the Misses Borbeck, Mr. W. P. Hazen, Miss H. A. Foulke, Mrs. P. Trainor, Miss Mary Mc- Menamin, Miss Mamie Griffin, Miss Anna G. Bogan, Mrs. Paul H.

An illustrated lecture on “Rome” was de- livered at St. John’s College last evening by the Rev. M. J. Riordan of Barnesville, Md. Mr. Riordan gave an interesting ac- count of the city’s beauty and a graphic history of pagan Rome. He was for five years a student at the American College in Reme, and is peculfarly fitted to give a most authentic account both of the history ard points of interest, ancient and modern, of that famous city. The pictures which were used were especially olaborate, the mest notable ones being those of the Coliseum, St. Peter’s, the American Col- lege and the Pantheon. The manners and customs of the people were e2lso touched upon, and some interesting atories of the transition from pagan influences to Ckris- tianity were related. ——._— The Doctors’ Quarrel. Chief Justice Bingham yesterday, upon the petition of Dr. Wm. A. Hammond, is- sved a rule requiring Dr. Mahlon’ Hutchin- son to show cause Friday next why ho should not be held to have violated an in- jenction granted several days ago.

AMUSEMENTS, —— — fs Allen's Grand Opera House.—‘‘Jack the Giant Killer” was repeated at Allen’s Grand Opera House last evening by the pupils of Prof. Sheldon, comprising about 100 of the cleverest singers and dancers in the city. ‘The house was well filled with the relatives and friends of the little ones, and the per- formance was a great credit to all con- cerned. Edna Earle; as the hero, and the dancing of Baby Edna were the features of the show. In order to fill in the time be- fore the grand opera, ‘Jack, the Giant Killer” will be repeated this evening at the Grand Opera House. The German Opera Season.—Tomorrow evening, at Allen’s Grand Opera House, will commence a season of German opera by a company the largest ever known in this country, and an orchestra fully competent to cope with Wagner's scores, all under the direction of Mr. Walter Damrosch. The Opening performance will be ‘Tann- hauser,” which has been heard many times, and which is’ always well received. The performance of “Lohengrin” Friday even- irg will be given with the same cast that made a sensation in Chicago. Fri. Gadski is considered the greatest Elsa in the world, while Herr Demeter Popovici has achieved the greatest amount of fame as Telromund, he having created the part in Bayreuth. Mr. Vincent's Lecture.—A large audience enjoyed Mr. Leon Vincent's lecture on Thoreau at the Wesley Chapel last evening. Mr. Vincent paid a glowing tribute to the life of Thoreau, and rendered some admir- ably selected quotations from his works. “Northern Lights.”—The attraction at the Grand Opera House next ‘week will be Harkins and Barbour’s typical American drama entitled “Northern Lights.” _It is in four acts with all the scenes laid in Mon- tana. The action takes place in the Little Big Horn yalley, fh 1876, and _memorizes that most gallant act of modern times, when Gen. Custer, with 300 cavalrymen, charged into the stronghold of 6,000 In- dians and met with a swift and awful ex- termination. The play deals incidentally with the subject of pronatalism. The mother of the hero, Wallace Gray, three months previous to his birth, had witnessed the shooting of his father, Col. Gray. ‘The child came into the world with a great dread of the sound of firearms. By a grim perversity of fate, he becomes a soldier under Crook, in Montana, and deserts in the first action. For this he is condemned by court-martial. But, unknown to him- self, a wound in the spine, received in that first battle, had released him from his bondage of terror. In the last act he vol- unteers to carry a vital message to Col. Gray’s camp, which ts hemmed in by the enemy. He rides through the valley of death and arrives at his father’s camp in time, terribly wounded, but the tension of his Inherited fear gone forever. One of ths principal characters in the play, and in a measure, a character entirely new to the stage, is John Swiftwind, a full-blooded Sioux Indian. A chief surgeon {s also.an interesting character study. The play is strongly cast and handsomely produced. The Vaudeville Club.—Manager Kernan’s attraction for next week will be the V deville Club, another of Weber and successful organizations. Among the names appecring on the program are Mciniyre and Heath, the Brothers Mcers, in their marvelous performance on the bound- ing wire; Sam _ Bernard, the refined German comedian and mimic; O’Brien and Buékley, musical experts and come- dians; Lizzie B. Raymond, je fascinating singer of catchy song: je and Good- ridge, the eccentric ¢ Fansons, the juvenile sketch artists. Ben Hur.—An epitome of t story, recited by Rev. A. G. Ri and illustrated by eighty finely tern slides, will be given at the Church of Our Father, 13th and L stree' evening. Miss Harriette Whiting will sing several appropriate musical selections.

The Ice Palace.—The engagement of Donoghue at <he Convention Hall Ice Palace next week is looked forward to with a great deal of interest by every skater in this city. Donoghue's abilities are well known, and It is sufficient to announce that he will give exhibitions and try conclusions in races with any of Washington's best skaters, giving them, of course, liberal handicaps. Races are to be arranged for at one, two and three and possibly five miles between Donoghue and the Washing- ton boys, numbers of whom are practicing daily during the early morning hours at the rink, getting into shape for the events. An event which will also attract much in- terest this week isthe game of hockey, which will take place at the rink Saturday even- ing between the Chevy Chase Club and an All-Washington team. Ee Sentenced for Theft. Four cases of larceny were heard in Judge Miller’s court yesterday, and all members of the quartet were held guilty and sentenced. Charles Green, a young colored man, who works in a Missouri ave- nue boarding house, was defendant in one case, and he was charged with the theft of $10 from Dr. Edward Leon. It appeared that one night last week the doctor was taken sick, and he sent Green for Dr. Mc- Williams. When the latter had written a prescription and gone, the prisoner was sent after him with a $10 bill. Green did not return until he had spent the money in drinking places, and Judge Miller fined him $5 or fifteen days, in addi- tion to ordering restitution. Spectal Officer Nicholas Miles had a col- ored man named Reuben Johnson in court on a charge of theft. Johnson, who was employed at a commission house on B street, rolled a barrel of apples from the store to.a stand in the market early yes- terday morning, and the officer arrested him before he had time to dispose of the fruit. He was fined $20 or thirty days in jail. 2 Washington America, who took a chisel from James Cochran and sold it for 00 cents, was fined $15 or thirty days. Celia Reed, a colored girl, who stole a piece of bacon from the store of L. J. Ifft, plead guilty to the charge, and was given thirty days. 3 y Bunny, —— A Royal Areanum Visitation. The regular meeting of District Council, No. 1595, Royal Arcanum, was heid Mon- day evening in its hall, No. 425 12th street. The occasion was enlivened some- what by an official visitation of the Grand Council, every officer and nearly all the members teing present in full regalia. Re- gent Claude R. Zappone presided, and wel- comed the Grand Council and_ visiting brothers. Under duty ® the full degree was conferred upon eight applicants, the work being performed by the degree corps of the Grand Council, and twelve applica- tions for membership were recelved. Dis- trict Council, although the youngest in th city, has a membership of seventy, an under the leadership of Regent Zappone hes passed one of the older councils in point of membership, and is making rapid strides toward the second. Under “good of the order,” Vice Regent Dr. T. J. Jones entertained those present with a stereopti- con exhibition, which was greatly enjoyed, after which all repaired to und’s, where an elaborate supper had been prepared. Seventy-five members gathered around the tables, which were beautifully decorated, and enjoyed the hospitality of the baby council. Speeches were made, interspersed with music, and at an early hour the meet- ing adjourned. Among the prominent Messrs. Eyenon, MAJ: ARMES' CASE Mandate of the Court of Appeals Filed in the Lower Court. Judge Bradley Makes Some Remarks in Complying With the Directions Given. eee The mandate of the Court of Appeals in the case of Major Gea A. Armes wes filed in the lower court this morning, counsel for the military authorities, Mr. J. N. Mor- rison, waiving the enforcement of that much of the mandate which directed Judge Bradley to issue a warrant for Major Armes’ arrest and then commit him to the custody of Col. Henry W, Closson, the com- mandant of the Washington arsenal. Judge Bradley's Remarks. Judge Bradley took occasion to remark that it was well known when he dis- charged Major Armes from the custody of the military authorities he was not thereby relieved from the enforcement of military law. He had merely decided that Major Armes’ arrest was not necessary. The Court of Appeals, it seemed, differed with him on that point, and it now appeared that the appeal was taken only. to justify the original arrest of Major Armes, made upon the order of Gen. Schofield. “So, while this case,” sarcastically re- marked Judge Bradley, “has been adver- tised as a real fox hunt, with all the ac- coutermenta of dogs, horses, riders and a real live fox, ft now turns out that it was nothing after all but a paper chase, with no fox at all,” The judge remarked that he was glad that Mr. Morrison did not insist upon the full enforcement of the mandate of the Court of Appeals, for it seemed to him that all he could do would be to order it enter- ed, dismiss the writ of habeas corpus pray- ed for by Major Armes, and then remand him to ‘the custody of Col. Closson. It seemed to him, said Judge Bradley, that he had no power to issue a warrant for his re-arrest. Mr. J. H. Ralston of counsel for Major Armes stated that as the military authori- ties had secured an affirmation by the Court of Appeals of their views, and as counsel for Major Armes had secured his Iiberty, they would offer no objections to the court making an order tn accordance with Mr. Morrison's suggestions. No Conflict Between Authorities. Mr. Morrison explained that he wished to remove all thoughts of a conflict between the military and civil authorities, and ad- mitted that he did not know whether Major Armes ever would be tried by court-martial. The military authorities, tt seemed to him, however, possess the same power to arrest Major Armes now that they before pos- sessed. Judge Bradley stated that there had been no conflict between the military and efvil authorities, and certainly none between the court and the War Department. Yet, he be- lieved, no trial by court-martial of Major Art 5 ever really intended, and it did appear to him that the whole case was noth- ing but a piece of spite work on the part of Gen. Schofield. The fact that there now ap- peared no intention to prosecute Major Armes justified that belief. The matter was finally disposed of by Judge Bradley stating that he direct an order to be entered in accordance with the ions of counsel. r. Ralston suggested that the order could be nothing but a skeleton of the mandate, when the judge remarked: “Well, we will suspend the skeleton and look at it. HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT, It is Still Somewhat Above the An- nual Average. According tc the weekly report of Health Officer Woodward the bealth of the city remains somewhat above the annual aver- age. The number of deaths reported at the health department during the past week was 112, with a death rate of 21.1, as against 110 in the previous week, and a death rate o 7. Three deaths from grip were reported and two from typhoid fever. of the heart, brain and kid- neys, shown by’ the mortality there- from, were about at the average. One- fourth of all the deaths during the week were from affections of the lings, four- teen being from pneumonia and eleven from consumption. Four deaths were due to diphtheria and three to measles, with no fatal case cf scarlet fever. The births reported numbered 115, and thirty-five mar- riage certificates were received. There Were nineteen deaths in hospitals and the ceroner reported nine. ———=__ Good Templars. The large attendance at the meeting of Perseverance Lodge No. 2, I. O. G.
