JHE WANTED PIE Prisoner Asked for a Pelice Gourt Luxury. Lets of Small Cases Before the Judge This Morning—Small and Big Offenders. “Is dis all you give a feller when he's hungry?” asked one of the colored pris- oners th's morning when Policeman Flynn and Police Court Caterer Baker handed to the unfortunate man the regular allow- ance of hot sausage, rolls and coffee. “Is this all? echoed the policeman. “What do you exepct?” ‘I think you ought to give me a piece of pie,” was the colored man’s respunse, “cause I didn’t ask nobody to bring me here,,and when I’se brought against my will you ought to treat me well.” “A piece of pie will cost you five cents,” the officer told him, “and if you have a nickel you can get accommodated.” “Well, judge,” said the colored man, as if addressing the court, “here’s de nickel, now where's de p.e?” “I'll have to send for the pie,” he was told. “Is there any particular kind you want?” “Jes’ want pie,’ answered the colored man, “buat of course if you can get some nee pie with good liquor in it dat’s de But don't d'sappoint me ‘cause de man ain't got de ee." A few minutes later the pie appeared, and almost before the piece of pastry had left the band of the bix policeman the pris- oner had made a half moon in it. ‘Temperance Lecture. There were fourteen prisoners in the toils, and most of them figured in Judge Kim- ball’s procession. The first case called was represented by a young man named Charles Burk, who lives in Georgetown, and the facts in the case presented a frightful ex- ample of the evils of intemperance. ‘I arrested him on the night of the 18th ef last month,” said Policeman Burrows. “There was a distress call blown, and when I heard screams and loud cries I went to the house and arrested him. He was very much under the infiuence of liquor, and had to be sent to the hospital.” “Why has the case not been tried before this?” Judge Kimball inquired. Because Burk has been in the hospital ice he was arrested,” was the ofticer’s ponse. “Where did all this happen?” “At the door of his mother-in-law’s house.”* William I. Bowman, brother-in-law of the defendant, told the court that on the night charged Burk went for the doctor, because his (Burk’s) mother-in-law was sick, and when he returned she was dead. “When he was told of her death,” said Bowman, “he lost complete control of him- self and screame: “Was he drunk?” the court inquired. “If he was,” answered witness, “I didn’t know it, for I didn't smell liquor on him.” He thought that Burk’s boisterous con- duct was the result of grief because of the death in the family. Burk, he imagined, had the hysteries. Another witness told of the trouble, and he sail he thought Burk had the delirium tremens. “I had been drinking,” confessed the d fendant. “I had lost my place, my. chil- dren were sick, and I was so worried that I took four drinks of liquor. If I offended the officer I beg his pardon, but I think I harmed my wife and children more than any one els Since I was sent to the ho: i id to. , I'l prom- ever to touch liquor again, for this ex- nee has been a sad one.’ I should think so,” remarked the court, ‘and with your promise to let liquor alone in the future, Fil take your personal bonds.” And Burk left the court fi his wife, who h: Willi, come ft look after him. m Thomas appeared in the toils after an absence from the public streets of three months. He was given sixty days for begging. Net Particular. Tom Nolan, white, and John James, col- ored, who have been on the road for a num- ber of months, were in court because they have no home. James may not have a home, hut he is well fixed so far as clothing is concerned, for he was wearing two full suits of goud clothes. “I've been oystering,’*“he said, but Judge Kimball recognized him as having been in court before, and gave him two months. “I'm not very particular about what yor do with me,” was what Nolan said, and a sentence of ten days was imposed. Hattie Jackson and Ella Green, colored, were In the tolls because they had par- ticipated in a fight in Jackson alley. “TI certainly did hit her,” said Ella. “She called me a bad name, and I won't take that from nobody.” “Then you will have to take a sentenc2,” remarked th court. “Five dollars or fif- teen days exch.” Other Cases. Benjamin Fowler is seventeen years old, and if his statement is true he ran away from his home in Newport, R. 1, two months ago. His mother, who is a widow for the second time, is a school teacher, and ten. says “I can’t get along at home.” ‘I have my opinion of boys who can’t get along at home,” Judge Kimball remark- ed to him. “And no’ added the boy,.“I want to go to my brother's home in New York.” Yesterday he was in Maryland and stop- ped at a country stere, where he asked for emplcyment. The merchant had no work for him, ani so he brought him to the Dis- trict «nd turned him cver to the police. The court turned him over to Sanitary Officer Frank to assist him. “LT ain't guilty of nothin’ ,"" said Charles Meredith, a colored man ‘who has been about the Arlington Hotel annoying the employ He worked there some time ago, and the officer who arrested him suggested that his mind is affected. The court sent word tc his relatives to care for kim. John Small and Daniel Brady, the former colored ad the latter white, were charged with being vagrants because they had ap- plied for lodging. “I think Brady has keen here before,” id_the officer. ‘Not for thirteen years, he said. “I’ve ved in Baltimore all this time, and last nizht I came over on a freight on my way to Alexandria to see my sister.” He was released to r2sume his journey, and his eslered companion was sent down for thirty days. > The Sioux Delegation. The members of the Sioux delegation from Fine Ridge, now in the city, are nat- urally indignant because of newspaper as- sertion that two members of the party were arrested Wednesday for intoxication. That two Indians were arrested is undoubtedly the case, but that they were not Sioux In- dians is Certain, for at the time when the drunken red men were being gathered into ihe first precinct station the Pine Ridge delegation was #gaged in attending to the othcial busine: which brought them to Washington. jose who have had to do with Little Wound, Kicking Bear, Capt. Thunder Bear, George Fire Thunder and the interpreter, Philip Wells, are unanti- mous in declaring that no body of Indians or white men ever behaved more circum- spectly in this city than have these repre- sentatives of the Pine Ridge Sioux. The delegation itself and its friends in .Wash- ington regret very much that the miscon- duct of other Indians who are here at this time should result in an accusation of drunkenness against the Sioux. Last evening a reception was tendered the delegates at the residence of Mr. Al- nm Nailor. During the evening a num- r of Washingtonians made the acquaint- ance of the Indians at Mr. Nailor’s home, and at the Hotel La Fetra, where the In- dians have had quarters during their stay in this city. 3 Having succeeded in Joing some of the business which brought them to Washing- ton, the delegates propose to leave for the west tomorrow morning. ———__.

One of the Oldest Residents of the = City Passet Away. Mr. Francis E. Hauptman, one of the old- est residents of Washington, died at an early hour this morning, at his residence, 407 11th street. In his day Mr. Hauptmaa ‘Was a prominent man in affairs in this city, but for ten or a dozen years past he had lived a very quiet and retired life. He had been gradually failing for about a year, and his death was not unexpected. The Hauptmans were one of the old-time families of the city. Back in the 30's they occupied a comfortable home on the site of the new post office, but upwaré of fifty years ago they moved to the 11th street house. In those days the firm was Daniel Hauptman & Sons, and they were known as the leading tinners here. The roofs on a majority of the old houses of Washington were put om by the Hauptmans. Francis E. Hauptman was one bf the eldest of eleven children, «f whom there are now but three living. For + upward of a half century he occupied the old-fashioned brick dwelling, one of those relics of a past generation in the business section of the city which have withstood the advonces of progress. A brother and a sls- ter lived with him. Their mode of life was comfertable, though unpretentious, and the furnishings were all of the style of a gen- eration or two ago. Mr, Hauptman was in the seventy-fourth year of his age. He never married, and dur- ing his long and active life he acquired a good deal of property. A few years ago he sold the piece of land at the southwest cor- ner of 11th and G streets for $50,000, many times what he paid for it originally. At the time of his death he owned considerable real estate in different parts of the city. He was one of the oldest members of the Foundry M. E. Church, and was charitable in an un- ostentatious way. The funeral services will prebably be held at the house some time next Monday. The interment wil! be made at Oak Hill cemetery. AMUSEMENTS, Allen's Grand Opera House—The per- formance of “Magda” by Sarah Bernhardt at the Grand Opera House last night gave an opportunity for comparison with the work of Mme. Duse in the sam2 role. The chance was embraced by but few, however. The splendid work of the tragedienne, com- ing, as her seascn does, or the heels of a purse-depleting series of operatic perform- ances, has failed to find the acknowledg- ment which is undoubtedly her due as an artist. “Magda” is 2 sreat play; its tearful intensities are such as to leave nothing to be desired in the way of opportunities for emotional display. Bernhardt’s personality is so charmingly familiar that it needs no description. it asserts itself in all the varying moods of her immense repertoire of characters, and her car2ssing vcice, her Magnetic eyes and panther-like poses in- vest her with a fascination that few real lovers of the drama have failed to exper- fence. She is an honest exponent cf her art, too, for her company is a good one, and her stage settings seldom fall short of the best that the occasion could utilize. ier “Magda” was a powerful imperscna- tion, and gave the audienve a picture of a flesh-and-hlood woman whom the auditor can undersiand, and wita whom he can sympathize. ‘The performance of M. Dar- rront was notably excelleat. New National Theater.—‘The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith” is a fonr-act dramatic creation by Mr. Arthur W. Pinero of Eng- lané, who has written some of the best thin; on the stage at pre: t, and, one is almost tempted to say, so:ne of the worst. Just where “Mrs, Ebbsmith” ccmes in must be left to the judgment of a discrimi- nating public. That it is a strong play is not to be questioned, but force is not al- ways pleasant, nor is it always popular. As presented by Mr. John Hare end his company last night at the National, it could scarcely have been better done, yet as the curtain went down the last time, the audience rose up ready to go after the Ebbsmithness; they wanted fresh air. The character of Mrs. Ebbsmith was well done by Miss Julia Neilson—very well done— overdone, one might say, yet it could scarcely be otherwise, from Miss Neilsoa’s concepiion of the character. Mr. Terry, the man in the case, was good. Mr. Hare was a gleam of sunshine in a great shadow. As the old duke, he was cynical, cheerful and charming to the audience. ’ Another bit of brightness was Miss May Harvey's Mrs. Thorpe. All the actors were equally praiseworthy. The setting of the stage in the first three acts, a r8om in a Venetian palace, was a beautiful creation in carving and marble. — JUNIOR ENDEAVORERS, Preparing for Their Share in the July Convention. The superintendents of the Junior Chris- tian Endeavor Union had a meeting recent- ly, at which they arranged plans for their share in the coming convention. The juniors as a body will not take any separate , art in the convention except on the afternoon of one day. probably Saturday, which will be devoted to a big junior rally similar to the one conducted so successfully at Bos- ton. In preparation for this their program will be largely made up of exercises pre- pared bys Mrs. Hill, a prominent junior worker. A portion of this exercise will be performed by forty-eight young girls, dressed in white with colored sashes, and carrying flags of the different nations. The class will march through various evolutions, which will be interspersed with the singing of patriotic songs and others. Other num- bers on the program will consist of religious exercises and addresses, but, with the ex- ception of the address of welcome from a local junior, the trustees of the United So- ciety will have charge of the rest of the pro- gram. The music during the afternoon is to be rendered entirely by juniors, even to the instrumental music, and this is,expected to be a prominent feature of the convention. ‘There is already in process of formation a choir to be formed of five hundred of the juniors, boys and girls. So far as possible these singers will receive as much training as they can on the music separately, but a little later they will be all collected together and drilled several times by Percy S. Foster, who will also conduct them. This vocal music will be supplemented by instrumental music by a junior orchestra. It has been found that quite a number of the youngsters are quite proficient on sev- eral instruments, notably the violin, cornet and drum. The same plan will be used in training the orchestra as in the chorus; that is, the music is to be practiced by the mem- bers separately, and then have a number of dgills together later on. A large number of performers are needed. There are in the District of Columbia fifty junior Endeavor societies, with several more in process of formation, so that when the convention meets more than 2,000 juniors will take part, representing this city alone. As a preparation fer the convention the con. dition of the societies is being helped by a series of inter-visitation now going on, the program of which for the rest of this month is as follows: March 15, Zion Baptist visit Ryland Methodist; this week, St. Paul's Lutheran visited Emory Chapel; March 22, Eastern Presbyterian visit Hyattsville Pres- byterian; next week, Willow Tree Alley visit the Maryland Avenue Baptist; March 29, Lincoln Memorial (Congregational) visit Assembly Presbyterian; March 15, Mt. Pleasant Congregational visit the North Presbyterian; March 17, Metropolitan A. M. E. wisitgine West Street Presbyterian, and March %, Independent Methodist visit the First Presbyterian. —_——.__. Quizzing the X Rays. Prof. Hodgkins of Columbian University has been conducting the senior class through a series of interesting experiments with the unknown rays of Roentgen. Yes- terday members of the class were able to get a silhouette print of pieces of alum- inum, lead, gold leaf and cork by rays pass- ing through a Crookes tube. Lead proved impervious, but the other objects were translucent to the X rays. The hand of one of the students was also caught, show- ing the translucency of the flesh as con- trasted with the bones and a gold ring on one of the fingers, — 500 Turkish carpets and rugs now on view at Latimer’s Art Galleries, 1220 and 1231 G street, in connection with the great Sypher collection of antiques.—Advt. -What Cures Pimples. FORRES® ALONE FAILED Tho Combine Htetfed Five of tho Delegates Cy Chicago, Closing Scetes>of the Local Demo- cratic Geavéntion—The New Central Committee. The District demtocratic convention com- pleted its labors shortly after 4 o'clock yes- terday afternoon, after electing Robert E. Mattingly, Frank P. Morgan, John Boyle, “William Holmead, George Killeen and Edw. L. Jordan delegates, and D. William Oyster, John A. Clarke, M. J. Donovan, J. J. O'Day, A. O’Brien and Edward Gibbons alternates, to the national democratic convention, at Chicago, July 7. The voting was accom- panjed by many demonstrations of approval when the announcements for the popular candidates were made, and much anxiety was shown by the supporters of Messrs. Jordan and Forrest over the very close con- test that was apparent between them. At the conclusion of the roll call an unofficial tally showed Mr. Forrest to have enough to elect him, but upon a second call enough delegates changed to throw the victory to Mr. Jordan. There was much enthusiasm among the adherents of Mr. Killeen when his election was assured, and Southwest Washington fairly went wild over the show- ing made by its candidate, Mr. Mattingly, who received sixty of the sixty-five votes cast. The attempt of the delegation from the fourteenth and fifteenth districts to stampede the converftion in gavor of Mr. James L. Norris failed, and the persons who thought in the morning that Mr. Darr might eventually be made a compromise candidate when the fight got hot were disappointed, as one ballot settled the matter. Strength of the Combine. As anticipated by The Star during the campaign, the combine or straight-out ticket had everything pretty much its own way, electing five of its members, and only losing Mr. Forrest because the immediate supporters of Mr. Boyle did not assist him. But for this there would have been no break in the program. Its intention to adopt harmless and conservative resolutions, to control the organization of the convention in every particular, and to prevent the con- sideration of any subject that might lead to differences among the delegates was car- ried out to the letter. The result of the votes * Delegates—Mattingly, 60; Morgan, mead, 56; Boyle, 56; Killeen, 49; Jordan, 4 Edwin Forrest, 46; James L. Norris, 1 Charles W. Darr, 9. .

At the corclvsion of the balloting aftd af- ter quiet had been partly restored, Col. Rob- ert Christy inquired if it would be in order for him to offer a resolution instructing the delegates to support Mr. James L. Norris for national committeeman. Chairman Kalbfus promptly declared that such a course would be unprecedented in convention history, and Col. Christy grace- fully accepted the inevitable by moving a vote of thanks to the chairman and other officers of the convention, which was also out of order, because there still temained business to trarsact. This was the crea- tion of a new democratic central commit- tee. Chairman Kalbfus, who will also be chair- man of thc new body, as his election to that place is virtually assured, announced that each assembly district should select ohe member of the committee. Theré were no-candidates in the first. and third di tricts. In the remaining twenty the com- mitteemen were declared as follows: cond district—Dr. Henry Darling. Fourth district—Arthur Small. Fifth district—Dkomas F. Cook. Sixth district-W. B. Holtzclaw. Seventh district—John Boyle. Eighth distriet—W. A./ O'Brien. Ninth district=Charles H. Turner. Tenth district—Thomas B. Kalbfus.

Two years ago Mrs. West, who lived on the canal road, @ short distance from the Aqueduct bridge, jumped in the river and ended her life. Before taking the fatal leap she wrote a letter in which she said she was tired of living and asked that her. son Howard be taken care of by relatives. He had been arrested and sent to the re- form school before his mother committed suicide, and recent developments show that his mother had good reason for wanting some care taken of him. Sunday, Howard and_his brother Ber- nard were urrested by Policeman Bradley on a charge of burglary. They had visited the house of Frederick Wetzeli on the Ridge road, so it was charged, and stole some eggs, a revolver and otber articles, ani when Howard was arrested the officer found ‘the revolver on him. Not many months sgo Howard lived in the vicinity of Rockville, and while there it is said he was accused of arson and had to leave the county to prevent being arrested and sent to prison. This morning the brothers were taken before Judge Miller on a charge of house- breaking and were held in $00 security to await the action of the grand jury. Se The District Assembly. The regular weekly meeting of District Assembly No. 66,Knights of Labor,was held last evening. Delegations from thirty-six crganizations were present. A report in reference to the Anacostia railway was submitted by the chairman of the legis- lative committee, and in discussing the matter the master workman said that he also favored municipal ownership of rail- ways. The brewery difficulty was referred to, and it was stated that the outlook for success on the part of the locked-out men is better at this time than it has ever been before. 8 as follows Lesoetococcoctecncostontorecteeinetontontectectetoeteetontontontostocecte ROYAL BAKING POWDER.

The lecture delivered yesterday evening at the Catholic University had for its title “Temperance Work of This Country and Age,” and the speaker was Rev. Father Cleary, president of the Catholic Total Ab- stinence Union in America. Father Cleary has spoken before this winter on this sub- ject, and, despite the weather, there was @ good attendance. The lecturer opened with remarks about this country as being so free and liberal in all its advantages, and yet with all these opportunities offered to the young men, they cloud their brains with poisonous spirits, which make them unfit and unworthy of accepting such a4- vantages. Father Cleary called attention to the liquor trade which is protected by the government and a source of revenue to the country. This he considered as a crime and shame to the country. The speaker then traced the growth of intemperance and the efforts to check this vice from the time of the first settlers. These people, he said, were sober and thrifty, having sought refuge in this coun- try to enjoy that freedom they were denied at home. But it was as early as 1633 that we find a law for the punishment of drunk- enness. A few years later the drinking of “good health” was forbidden, and then there was a law passed ordering liquors to be seized when found in private houses. In 1637 the first brewery was established in the colonies. Father Cleary also spoke of the various acts of the legislature regu- lating fines for drunkenness and the abuse of spirits. The Jesuits in Canada forbade the whites giving any Hquor to the Indians, who accordingly went to the Dutch of New York for their “fire water.” ‘The lecturer told how, later on, rum was introduced in the colonies, and soon be- came a chief article of trade. The drink evil was getting worse instead of better, despite the efforts of the Continental Con- gress and legislatures. « Father Cleary spoke of the different re- formers of this early age, and how during the eighteenth century organizations were formed which planted the seed of the great work which is going on today. He spoke of the good and earnest work of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Israel Putnam. ‘The lecturer said that the right chord was left for this age to strike. The people in those days had tried moderation when it should have been total abstinence. Father Cleary pointed out the great sin and evil of liquor, how it has brought about ruin, desolation and poverty. The latter part of the lecture was devoted to a review of Catholic temperance work. Father Mathew and his work and the trials of a temperance agitator were largely spoken of. In closing, Father Cleary appealed to the students of the university -for their support in this great work. He told them that they were soon to enter the arena of life, but not in a condition, he hoped, to be unworthy of the advantages offered by this fair country of ours. He appealed to them to promote and exemplify Christian so- briety .at all times. Se Minnehaha Lodge. Members of Minnehaha Lodge of Good Templars came out in force Tuesday even- ing, the occasion being a visitation of Good ‘Will Lodge, with delegations from Star of Hope, Perseverance, Langdon and Friend- ship lodges. Past Chief A. N. Canfield pre- sided. Chief Templar McCann and Miss L. A. Brooks of Good Will occupied the chairs of chief and vice templars, respectively, during tke initiation of the new members. ng Past Chief R. A.

In the case of Josephine Adams against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company the jury returned a verdict in favor of Mrs. Adams yesterday afternoon, awarding her $2,500 damages. Mrs. Adams sued the road as the administratrix of her son, Ed- win H. Blackburn, who was killed at the Ivy City crossing March 1, 1893, while re- turning from the races in a cab with some friends. Counsel for the company contend- ed that the accident was the result of the party’s own negligence, claiming that the danger signal was blown and thst the crossing bells were rung, and also endeavor- ed to show that the party had been drink- ing. The jury found, however, that while the whistle and bells were used to warn the party, the crossing was not proteczed with gates or by a flagman, and that in that the company failed to properly vro- tect the party. —_>___ Sailors Sue for Wages.
