Court Sad and Affecting Scenes of Suffering in the Cells—The Cold Drives Them In, Cold weather always increases the num- Ler of poorly clad violators of the law who get in the clutches of the officers, and this morning’s procession in Judge Kimball's court was no exception to the rule. There Were fifty victims in court this morning, and mcst cf them were in the lower court. In this Jong precession there were only seven white persens, six men and a wo- man. The strangers, known as tramps, did not appear in the vsual large number, for last night the weather was so cold that none of them were refused when they ap- plied for a night's lodging. Policeman “Pat” Madigan, who has charge of the prison room, and who has been sick for several weeks, was on duty this morning, and the prisoners gave him a hearty welcome. - “I’m 30 yiad to see you back,” said one of them, who had missed his kind words and jokes. “Give me a chew of tobacco,” the prisoner said in the next breath. * Big Pol-eman Flynn had been through the corridur and distributed hot coffce and something riore substantial, which most of the prisoners needed very much after they rode throush the streets in the “Black Ma- ria” und had been given a taste of the frosty air. Led by a Woman. Nancy Naylor, cne of the ten colored fe- males in the procession, was first to face the judge. She had been arrested in Georgetown for disorderly conduct, and rather than take the chances of being sent back home on h a cold day she said guilty and went down fer fifteen days. “Not guilty,” answered Richard Banks, a colored man wne was neatly dressed. “A week ago Friday night,” said Pre- cinct Detective Barnes, “there was some beef stolen from 1th and L streets, and about the same time this man was selling beef in Glick’s and Freeman's alleys. I coul-In’t prcve that it was the stolen meat, and so I vagged him. “What do you know about Banks?” the court asked. 5 “He's only home from the peniten- jary about two months.” “What's his reputation? ed to kno “Tale The court continued the case until to- morrow in order to hear additional testi- mony.

They live down in South Washington, not very far from the James Creek caal, and the officer heard Annie use bad language. “That's right,” said “put 1 couldn't help it.

Thomas McCarty came next. “I'm guilty of begging,” answered the former, while the latter admitted he was guilty of a charge of disorderly. “McCarty ‘held up’, two men Saturday night,” said the officer, “and asked them for mone: “Thirty days.” Johnson went down for two weeks in de- fault of t of the usual fine. * and George Johnson “Walter Smit called the clerk, and there was no resporse. “Where is Walter Smith?” the court asked. “There ke i: said an officer, pointing to a neatly dress-d man in the procession. “My name is Frank Hyatt,” said the pris- oner, who had not remembered the name he gave. “Are you guilty or not guilty?" he was asked, when a charge of sidewalk obstruc- tion had been read. “I guess I'm guilty,” answered the man, who looked as if he were in the wrong place. “He was drunk, and I found him lying on the sidewalk,” was the officer's ccrplaint. “That is true.” said the man, “but if your honor will let me go I'll stop drinking.” He admitted that he had been picked up before and sent home, but said that this was the first time he had been brought to court. “What assurance have I that you will quit drinking?” the judge wanted to know. “I give you my word that I will,” said Hyatt “I will give you a trial this time,” said the court, and the man was released on his personal ‘bonds. Mr. MohI's Pyjsoners. Jennie Lumby. a colored female, was so much under the influence of liquor Satur- day night that her memory was affected. “I arrested her at 2:30 o'clock in the morning,” said Policeman Mohl. he was in her back yard, and was swearing loud enough to disturb the whole neighborhood.” Jennie thought she was arrested before midnight, but the police record was against her, and the usual fine was imposed. A colored boy named William Scott, sus- pected of complicity in the theft of bread from in front of grocery stores, was sent down for a month. Rober: Deville, a colored man who lives in South Washington, was in line as a vagrant and suspicious person. “I saw him trying back gates about 3 o'clock in the morning,” was Policeman Mohl's complaint. The old mar claimed that he worked in the neighborhood in which he was arrested, and was there to get his blacking box. “Fifteen days.” “I've been in the city about two weeks,” said John Riley, “and had money to pay my way until Saturday z “And then what did you do?” asked for a night's lodging and some- thing to eat.” Riley ciaimed that he was sick, and his appearance indicated that he told the truth. He was given two weeks in the hospital. “I was drunk and disorde Saturday aid Hattie Williams, “but I hope let me go. as I intend to go to should have gone to “Five dolars.” ht, charged with obstruct- sidewalk with his person, said and added, “I hope you'll excuse me this time.

Frank's statements to the court con- “You sald the court. work first,’ vinced the judge that there was something wrong, and he was committed for examina- tion. Irene “Smith, colored, charged with pro- fanity, was warned that if her ways are not mended she may get in more serious trouble. A fine of $5 was imposed, and she went down. John Kennel plead guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct, and went down in de- fault of fine. —_>__ AMUSEMENTS, Eleanora Duse.—The great Itulian actress, Eleanora Duse, will commence her season in America this evening at the Lafayette Square Opera House, when she will ap- pear in “Camille.” Her company arrived here Saturday afternoon, and yesterday a reLearsal was had that indicated a perfect performance tonight.

Under section 15, providing for payment of medical boards, we find: “If any surphis remain on the 30th of June of each year, the Inembers of the board of medical sts visors, ete., shall be paid such reason compensation as sald board m: ete.” Now, it is a well-known fact that all government and District business is done on fiscal year basis, as provided in thi tion.

Brady has filed a bill in equity against Deborah C. Combs, Nancy J: McMullin and the company.

Remarkable Offer of the Washinzta Newspaper Syndicate on the clopacdic Dictionary, The Washington Newspaper Syndicate, which has acquired control of the new En- yelopaedic Dictionary in this territo has adopted a novel scheme for adverti: and popularizing this magnificent work their field. The syndicate believes that 1,000 sets of the book, distributed through this city and suburbs, will create widespread comment and lead to the immediate introduction and subsequent distribution of thousands more in the shortest possible space of time. With this in view, it is proposed to supply the first 1,000 applicants with complete sets of this great work at the nominal price of $16.00 (regular subscription price, $42.00), and this upon an initial payment of only $2.00, the remainder being payable in smail monthly installments covering a whole year.

Arrangements for Special Servtees in the Churches, The Churchmen’s League has arranged for a course of Lenten services, which will be held Tuesdays in Lent, except the last one, which will be held Thursday, at S o'clock, to take plac> in the Church of the Epiphany. The program is as follows: Tues- Gay, February 25, “The Church and the } tion,” Rev. C. George Currie, D.D., rector of Christ Church, Baltimore; March 2, “The Church and the Conservative Forces of So- ciety,” Rev. Charles W. E. Body, D.D., D. t C.

In the Cathclic churches the usual serv: ices are to be held daily, agd, in some ir stances, it is expected that special courses of sermons will be delivered aside from those rsually announced for the season. At present there are oaly two such announced, but it is expected that a course will be given at the Catholic University. Rev. Father D. J. Stafford of St. Patrick's Church is to preacn Sunday evenings at St. Patrick's at half-past 7: Rev. Dr. Philip J. Garrigan, vice rector of the Caiholic University, has prepared a serles of sermons to be deliv- ered at St. Paul's Church, in which he will take for his genera} subject, “Faith and its Results.”” The local choirs have all begun prepara- tion for their Easter music. This is expeci- ed to be especially fine at St. John’s and Epiphany churches on Palm Sunday, the Sabbath before Easter, at which time Bish- op-Elect Satterlee is to conduct the services and preach, At this Easter there will be cnly one Episcopal church which will not have its choral service rendered by a vested choir, and that will be at St. Andrew's, which still holds on to the quartet. —— © Eastern Presbyterian Chure The concert at the Eastern Presbyterian Church, given under the auspices of Mr: Daisy Louise Fox, last Friday evening, was a success, not only from an artistig, but also from a finercial standpoint.

The question of. the validity of an assess- ment by the District for paving about the cpen Spaces on New York avenue west of Mt. Vernon place was brought up before Judge Bradley Saturday by Mr. Jos. B. Eryan. The District, under the act of Au- gust 7, 1894, laid a pavement and also set | UP a curbstone adjacent to Mr. Bryan's j property, and, through Attorney T. W. Bir- ney, he claimed that he had not requested the improvements, nor had he been given | the necessary notice. It was also insisted | on his behalf that the act did not authorize | the setting of the curbing. Therefore, he prayed the court to set the assessment aside. Judge Bradley intimated that he doubted Whether the curbing was authorized, but withheld his decision as to whether that in- validated the whole assessment. ——— Public Schools. In The Star's Almanac for 1896, on page 17, will be found interesting informa- tion concerning the public schools of the District. At all news stands and at The Star office. Price, 25c. copy.
