Lots 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- orers 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?” think you ought to give me a piece of was the colored man’s respunse; ‘cause I didn’t ask nobody to bring me here, and when I’se brought against my will vou 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' wart pie,” answered the colored man, “but of course if you can get some ™mince pie with good lMquor in it dat’s de best. But don’t disappoint me ‘cause de man ain’t got de mince.” A few minutes later the p!e appeared, and almost before the piece of pastry had left the hand 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 criés I went to the house and arrested him. He was very much under the influence 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 since he was arrested,” was the officer's response. c “Where did all this happen?” ngAt,,,the door of his mother-in-law's jouse.”” William I. Bowman, brother-in-law of the defendant, told the court thac on the night pcharzed 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 screamed.” > pie,” 2” the court inquired. ” answered witness, “I didn’t know it, for I didn’t smell liquor on him.” He thouzht that Burk’s boisterous con- @uct was the result of zrief because of the death in the family. Burk, he imagined, had the hysterics. Another witness told of the trouble, and he sail he thought Burk had the delirium tremens. “I had been drinking.” confessed the de- fendant. “I had lost my place, m: Gren were sick, and I was so worried t 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 eise. Since I was sent to the hos- pital my wife has had to sell some things in the house to get the necessaries of life, and if you will let me go today, I'l prom- ise never to touch liquor again, for this ex- perience has been a sad one.”” “I should think so,” remarked the court, ‘“and with your premise to let liquor alone in the future, IN take‘ your personal bonds.” And Burk left the court with his wife, who had come to look after him. William Thomas appeared in the toils after an absence from the public streets of three months. He was given sixty days for begging. Not 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 lave no home. James may not have a home, but he is well fixed so far as clothing is concerned, oy he was wearing two full suits of good clothes. "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 you do with me,” was what Nolan said, and a sentence of ten days was imposed. Hattie Jackson and Ella Green, colored, were in the toils because they had par- ticipated in a fight in Jackson alley. “I 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 the court. “Five dollars or fif- teen days ezch.” Other Cases. Benjamin Fowler is seventeen years old, and if his statement is true he ran away from his home in Newport, R. L, two months ago. His mother, who is a widow fer the second time, is a school teacher, and Een. says “I can’t get along at home.” “I have my opinion of boys who can’t get along at home,” Judge Kimbal! remark- ed to him. “And now,” 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 employment. The merchant had no work for him, ani so he brought him to the Dis- tricc and turned him cver to the police. The court turned him over to Sanitary Officer Frank tg assist him. “I ain't guilty of nothin’,” said Charles Meredith, a colored man who has been nbout the Arlington Hotel annoying the employes. He worked there some time ago, and the officer who arrested him suggested that his mind is affected. The court sent word- to his rela care for him.

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 {s certain, for at the time when the drunken red men were being gathered into the first precinct station the Pine Ridge delegation was engaged in attending to the official business, which brought them to Washington. Those who pave had to do with Litile Wound, Kicking Bear, Capt. Thunder Bear, George Fire Thunder and the interpreter, Philip Wells, are unani- 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- lison Nailor. During the evening a num- ber 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 ihis city. Having succeeded in Joing some of the business which brought them to Washing- ton, the delegates propose to leave for the west tomorrow morning. —>+>— No Need “to Come to Market for Butter, Cheese, Eggs, Milk and Cream.

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 upward 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 on by the Hauptmans. Francis E. Hauptman was one of the eldest of eleven children, of whom there are now but three living. For upward of a half century he occupied the old-fashioned brick dwelling, one of thoge relics of a past generation in the business section of the city which have withstood the advances of progress. A brother and a sis- ter lived with him. Their mode of life was comfcrtable, 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 probably be held .at the house some time next Monday. The interment wil! be made at Oak Hill cemetery. 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 same 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 a great 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 meods 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. Her “Magda” was a powerful impersona- tion, and gave the audieave a picture of a flesh-and-blood woman whom the auditor can understand, and wita whom he can sympathize. The performance of M. Dar- ont was notably excellent. New National Theater.—“The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith” is a four-act dramatic creation by Mr. Arthur W. Pinero of Eng- land, who has written some of ihe best things on the stage at present, and, is almo:t tempted to say, so:ne of the werst. Just where “Mrs. Ebbsm comes. in must be left to the judgment of a discrimi- rating 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. Tie character of Mrs. Ebbsmith was well dohe | by Miss Julia Neilson—Nery well done— overdone, one might say, yet it could scarceiy be otherwise, from Miss Neilsoa’s cohception 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 room 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+:p: 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 part 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 by 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 ta 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 bya 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 drills 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 for the convention the con- dition of the societies is being helped by a serles 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 visjted 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.

O’Brien and Edward Gibbons alternates, to the national democratic convention, at Chicago, July 7, The voting was accom- panied 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 fatrly 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 convention in favor 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 Wy 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- Tied out to the letter. The result of the votes was as follows: Delegates—Mattingly, 60; Mi ; Hol- mead, 5; Boyle, 56; Killeen, 49; Jordan, 48 Edwin Forrest, Norris, 15; Charles W. Darr, 9.

At the corcivsion of the balloting and af- ter quiet had been partly restored, Col. Rob- ert Christy inquired if it would be in order for him ty 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 histery, and Col. Christy grace- fuliy 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 remained 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 assembiy district should select one member of the committee.

Two years ago Mrs. West, who lived on .the canal road, a short distance from the Aqueduct bridge, jumped in the river and ended her life. Before taking the fatal tter in which she said she was tired of living and asked that her son Howird be taken care of by relatives. He had beeg 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 ca@e 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 Wetzell on the Ridge road, so it was charged, and stole some eggs, a revolver and other articles, and when Howard was arrested the officer found the revolver on him. Not many months sg0 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 $300 security to await the action of the grand jury. = os The District Assembly.

Rev. Father Cleary’s Lecture at the Catholic University Yesterday. ‘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 yct 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 ad- 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 cons:dered 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 tprifty, 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- jating fines for drunkenness and the abuse of spirits. The Jesuits in Canada forbade the whites giving any liquor 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. ——.—— Minnehaha Lodge.
