Sanitary Officer Frank is complaining of the manner in which the authorities of other cities are acting in relation to the transportation of paupers. Seldom a d: passes that some of them are not dumped here to be sent away, and the appropria- tion is not large enough to meet all the @emands. Yesterday a couple came from Baltimore. John Hull and his wife were sent here by the authorities. They were on their way to Pittsburg from Kanawha, Ww. Vv. and had sone as far as Baltimore, but instead of sending them along on their way to Pittsburg the Baltimore people sent them here. The sanitary cfficer offered to send them back to Faltimore, but the: fused to go, and so he will probably se them on the Baltimore and Ohio road as far as Cumberland. ee False Pretensex Charged.

Lafayette Square ra House.—The years as they pars tovch lightly on Herr- mann, the magician. His sleight of hand is as deft as ever, and Lis pointed whisker wave with the same diabolical suggestion as-of:yore. If th> flight of time, which is bringing a new generation of admirers to his bex offices, has heightened his brow, the magician has but to comb his raven hair carefully forward in the old rakish points, and he fs as fascinating as before. Herrmann has not devoted as much atten- tion to providing new attractions in his pro- Tam'as usual. His legerdemain shows the skill which only years of constent training, such as he has had, could produce, and his mechani-al illusions, while not remarkable for their ingenuity of mystification, have the scenic quality which pléises the eye. ‘The serpentine dance by Mme. Herrmann is’a beautiful display of color and motion, and was jJemanded several times. The e1 téftainment is a highly amusing one, though hardly good enough to justify the tedious intermissions which were imposed upon the audience. The bits of musical comedy executed by Mr. Eddie Fox on the violin were highly appreciated. Grand Opera House. ‘inderella” as pre- sented at Allen’s Grand Opera House last night by the pupils of Prof. Sheldon’s dancing class was a delightful spectacle. The participants are cll children, some of them very small, but there was not a break nor a hitch to mar the smoothness of the performance. Edna Hurst took the Part of Cinderella, Pansie Wilson and Ida Tretler were her proud sisters, Willie New- ton, Pedro, and Nellie Hunt, the Prince of Salerno. The other characters were Ala- dora, tutor to the Prince, Virgie Luckett; Dondini, valet to the Prince, Edna Harris; saron Pompolini, Lillie Hughes; Fairy Godmother, Cora MeCarty; Coachman, Walter {aines; Footmen, Maleomb Mur- ray and L. Gassenheimer, together with hunters. trumpeters, courtiers, court la- dies and fairies by the members of the com- pany. Those who took these parts were May Withers, Lottie Steel, George Cnase, Win- nie Hur Raleigh Luckett, Chester Smith, Randol; Swe:t, George Tate, Arthur Haine: arry Tretler, James Wayland, Robert Smith, Sid Hechinger, Grace Lee, Ada Quisenbury, Genie Murphy, Estelle Lowry, Tillie Glick, Maud Fowler, Millie Murray, Hthel Ranke, Mamie Armitage, Lucey Russell, With Luckett, Marion Cooper, Gertie Haines, Lydia Janney, Mai jorie Bi Olga Smolianof, Julia Daven- port, Mattie Chase, Edna Danforth and Marjorie Scott. The opportunity for bring- ing in some exceptionally fine dances oc- curred after Cinderella had reached the ball, the following with their dances being the most notable: Cracovinne, Hughes; ka Gitana, Cora McCarty and Kx na Har Pas de Deux, Nellie Hunt and Baby Edna; “He Never Told a Lie," and “Seeing Things at Night,” Willie Newton; Sua Bayadere and Highland Fling, Edn: Hu Hornpipe, Nellie Hunt; Pas de T: Baron and Sisters; La Svlphide, Baby na Danforth; Tambour Major, ‘wie Luc ett; Bat Dance, Nellie Hunt_and_ Edna Harris; vocal solo, Agnes O'Neal; Pas de Matelot, RK: h Luckett, L'Ariel, Nellie Huat; sorg, “Pretty Irish Maid,” and “I Went to Paris with Papa,” Kittie Toum: Liberty Bell, ten children. National Theater.—_De Wolf Hopper in his well-known character of “Wang” appeared last night at the National Theater as funny and as musical as ever, but there was no Della Fox. Edna Wallace-Hcpper made a delightful Prince Mataya, although the pub- lic has been accustomed to a more roysiel ing-one. Then there were Alice Hosmer, Bertha Waltzinger, Edmund Stanley, Thos. Guise and Alfred Klein. Concerning Mr. Hopper, it is only necessary to say that he is as much a favorite as ever.

The Grand Opera Season.—The sale of seats for single performances of the Ital- ian opera season opened yesterday at the Grand Opera House, and the rush was very great. While the sale was large for each opera, Carmen" and “Romeo and Juliet” seemed to be the favorites. In the first Mme. Calve will sing in Washington for the first time, and in order that she may be in perfect condition for Thursday night Mess! Abbey and Grau will bring her here this afterncon, giving Baltimore the go by. She will rest in this city until she sings her great role of Carmen. Manager Allen says there is no indication that there will be any change in the program as an- nounced, either in the operas to be given or the singers to take part. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—A crowded house welcomed Rose Hill’s Specialty Com- pany at Kernan’s last night. This is one of Reed and Barton's aggregations, and is a first-class show. There is an abundance of pretty girls, with handsome costumes, and also a number of first-class specialties. The performance opens with a bright bur- lesque, entitled “A Trip to Newport,” with a’hathing beach and a number of dainty bathers. Miss Clara Lawrence led the olio with a good musical contribution, and Crawford and Manning were above the av- erage of black face comedians, and told some remarkable Munchausen stories. Miss Mae Lowery sang herself into favor, and Barton and Eckloff made a hit with their musical skit, entitled “The Nigger and the Bum.” A breezy burlesque, entitled “Sea- side Frolics,” closed the entertainment. A Children’s Kirmess.—A children’s kir- mess will be given tomorrow evening at Carroll Institute Hall by the pupils of Miss Blanche Starkey. The program will last from 8 o'clock until 10, and from that time on general dancing will be indulged in by the older ones who are present. —_— > The Coming Opera. To the Ediior of The Evening Sta In view of the experience of last season, and representing several ladies who have secured seats in the gallery for the coming opera performance, I should like to inquire of the management (the house—not the opera management) what guarantee it pro- Poses to give that the discreditable scenes and inadequate policing of the house during the last season will not be repeated this week. Just how many admission tickets should be rightly sold in justice to the publi. I shall not attempt to define—the question of the individual desiring to gain admission, as infringing on the rights and comforts of the public already in, being a matter rather difficult to define. I would, however, yery respectfully suggest that @ separate en- trance on 15th street be provided for the holders of seats in the gallery, so they may be able to keep away from and be entirely distinct from the line desiring admission tickets, enabling them to reach their seats without delay, provided they are in the the- ater a reasonable time before the perform- ance begins. The seat holder who habitually and purposely comes late, to the discomfort of his neighbors and the public in general, deserves no consideration. If Mr. Allen will add a trifle to his expense and take the comfort and safety of the public into con- sideration on this occasion, I am sure he will find the outlay, time and money well spent. a aa, a ROYAL BAKING POWDER.

PERS EL DEAD EPOCH IE OL ISO OL DE IOOG IPOD IDOEHO OCS THE TABERNACLE SOCIETY Ts Annual Mecting Hbld at the Shorcham This Méwning. Bishop Keane Preskitd and Made an Address—Remarkes by Fathers Stafford ana Mackin. The annual meeting efithe Tabernacle So- ciety was held today at 11 o'clock in the ball room of the Shoteham. It was very largely attended by mémbers of the society ahd others, and was extremely interesting. The Tabernacle Society provides the requi- sites for divine service for poor churches. It was founded in April, 1876, by Rev. J. J. Keane, then assistant pastor of St. Patrick's Church, now rector of the Catho- lic University. In the same year it was affiliated to the Association for the Per- petual Adoration and for the Work of Poor Churches, under the direction of the In- stitute of Arch-Confraternity for Perpetual Adoration, whose chief seat is at Rome. The president of the association is Mrs, White, wife of Associate Justice White of the Supreme Court. Its other officers are: Vice president, Mrs. Henry May; secretary and treasurer, Miss Fannie Whelan; re- cording secretary, Miss Rafaela Acosta; lady managers, Mrs. Ramsay, Mrs. Edward Murphy, Mrs. Stephen Rand, Mrs. George Cc. Reid, Mrs. W. E. Montgomery, Mrs. Vance, Mrs. Bayne, Mrs. Story, Mrs. Seth W. Cobb, Mrs. George Davis, Mrs. Sheri- dan, Miss Vorhees. It has work rooms at 1515 H street, where the making of the church vestments and altar linens is carried on, and where some of the members can be found busy with the work every day but Saturday. Bishop Keane has always taken the warmest interest in the work of the asso- ciation, and, as usual, presided today at the annual meeting. Mrs. White, the president, was the central figuresin the group of offi- cers clustered about the bishop and the other clergymen present, among whom were Fathers Mackin, Griffith and Dougherty. The annual report of the secretary was read by Father Dougherty. It showed the help in vestments, altar linens and altar vessels, distributed during the past year to forty-five poor churches and missions not only from Maine to Florida, but as far as the New Hebrides Islands, and that the money remaining in the treasury was $i7— ever $1,300 having ; expended in the year's disbursements with numerous special donations. It was also announced that $1,200 was imperatively needed to carry on the work. To raise this sum it had been to accept the offer made by Mi Sherman Thackara, who | services of a number of well-kne teurs for a dramatic performa given on or about April 16 at the Lafay- ette Square Opera House. Rev. Dr. Staf- ford addressed the meeting in a short but most elcquent manner, commending the work and exhorting the members to greater exertion. Father Mackin, who was cuiled on by Bishop Keane as a priest well used to the rough and tumble of mission work, gave a most interesting talk on the help the society had been to him when le was in charge of a country mission. Bishop Keane, after an exposition of the inspira- tions which filled the hearts of those de- voted to the service of God and the beauii fying of His church, headed a sub: iption decided Bleanor to relieve the Tabernacle Society of its bresent monetary cmbarrassment by a Bilt of $25. The meeting was upened and cle: with prayer offered by Bishop Keane. Since the formation of the so- ciety it has distributed) in cash and in value of articles donated through the as- sociation about 360,00, Of the latter there were 2.410 yestmen Hnens of all kinds, misceilancous articles diction veils, alt s A candlesticks, missals, cruets, lamps, etc. _— oor CAPTURED IN‘ NBW YORK.

The Court of Claims has rendered a de- elsion which is of interest especially to government employes. t Morris Keim, an ex-Union soldier, was in the employ of the government from May, 1888, until July, 1894, serving as a clerk in the pension bureau of the Interior Depart, ment. He was formally discharged in July, no cause being given. In October, 1895, Mr. Keim brought suit against the government before the Court of Claims for $1,205.89, the amount of his salary from the time he was discharged until he brought ‘suit. The claimant relied almost wholly upon section 1754 of the Re- vised Statutes, together with the supple- mental statutes thereto. The section named gives preference to ex-Union soldiers in the making of appointments. The supplemen- tal statute provide: “That in making any reduction of force in any of the executive departments, the head of such department shall retain those persons who may be equally qualified who have been honorably discharged from the military or naval ser- vice of the United States and the widows and orphans of deceased soldiers and sailors.” In addition to being an ex-Union soldier, Mr. Keim had passed a civil service exam- ination. In bringing his suit for claim against the government all the foregoing facts were recited. ‘The attcrney for the government filed a demurrer to the petition of the claimant, alleging that the law relted upon fell far short of affording the petitioner relief—in ovher words, that the claimant had no standing in court. The gcvernment attor- ney further contended that neither the courts nor Congress could regulate or dic- tute the executive action of the head of a department in the discharge of clerks. The head of a department must be the judge of the fitness of a clerk under him. Arguments on the demurrer were heard in January, and the court has just rendered its decision.

Until then the judge will preside in Equity Gourt No. 1, Chief Justice Bingham having gone to Florida to recuperate his health. The Olmstead will case will be taken up by.Judge Cox on the 16th instant in Crim- inal Court No. 2, when the third trial of the case will be commenced. It was ru- ;Moned at the city hall today that there would, however, be a compromise of the case, ‘but Mr. R. Ross Perry of counsel for Mra, Linda Hutchinson Webb, who is con- testing the will, that of her sister, Mrs. John F. Olmstead, stated to a Star reporter that so far as he knew the case would not . be.compremised. On the first trial before Judge Cole the will, making Mr. Olmstead the sole and absolute beneficiary under It, was set aside. That judgment, however, the Court of Appeals reversed, and the sec- ond trial, which took place before Judge Bradley last fall,eresulted in a disagree- ment of the jury. The estate is sald to be’ worth not less“ than $100,000, and Mrs. Webb alleges that the will was procured through the undue influence and fraud of Mr. Olmstead. Mrs, Webb also charges that her sister was, at the time of its mak- ing, June 6, 1889, mentally incapable of ex- eculing a valid deed or contract. —___.
