Mr. John T. Martyn, for many years past cashier of the office of the Adams Express Company, in this city, died at a late hour Saturday night, aged foriy-six years. Mr. Marzyn was born in Maryland, but came to Washington when a boy, and had resided here ever since. He entered the service of the express company in 1863 &S a boy on the money delivery wagon, and ‘was suce2ssively promoted until he reached the position which he filled at the time of his death. Mr. Martyn had been in bad health for several years, but the end was very sud- den. After being confined to the house for three months he recovered sufficiently to go out of doors. Friday last, however, he suddenly had a relapse, and speedily’ be- came unconscious, in which condition he remained until he passed away. Mr. Martyn was a life long Christian, and in the several relations of husband, father, business man and church officer, he Was a model of integrity. Until his health failed he was one of the official body of the North Carolina Avenue Methodist Pro- testant Church, and was a very successful teacher in the Sunday school.

The association formed to stimulate pub- lic sentiment against the condition of the Division, and to create a demand for the execution of wholesome laws for its sup- Pression, held @ mass meeting in the First Congregational Church yesterday after- noon, when the address of the associa- tion to the public was read by Mr. W. Liv- ingston Bruen, and remarks on the subject wee made by Rev. E. D. Bailey of the Central Union Mission, and Mrs. K. W. Barrett. An Encouragement. After setting forth the object of the as- sociation, that the public has been only partially informed of the extent of the evils of the Division, and going into the statistics of that locality, the report says: “The present attitude of the Commission- ers toward it is distinctly an encourage- ment of it. Men and women, whose evil propensities tempt them, know just where to go, and are assured cf freedom from exposure. That it increases and grows strong and defiant under these conditions our present observation abundantly dem- onstrates. “We advocate suppressing, not scatter- ing, and we do not propose to cease our efforts until the whole business is out» lawed, and until it can be carried on only clandestinely. But this outcry against acattering it has no foundation in fact, since it 1s well known that houses of ill- repute exist in different parts of the city, and no effort is made to force them into the Iccality set apart by common consent for their purposes. The houses are al- ready scattered, as we are informed, and the same false sentiment which protects them in the Division protects them else- where. “We have already given careful consider- ation to the question of caring for the in- mates of these houses. There is ample law for the suppression of these houses.”” An Appeal. The report winds up: “We appeal to the public to join in urging the speedy execution of the law for the suppression .of these houses. The public and the District offi- Gag have been at fault in ignoring the sub- ject.” - Some Remarks. At the suggestion of Rev. Dr. Newman, a resolution was adopted heartily indorsing the proposition to suppress all houses of ill- repute in the city, especially in the Division, and pledging to the Commissioners cordial support in their efforts to enforce the laws against the social evil. : In the course of extended remarks Rev. Mr. Bailey stated his belief that the Com- missiorers should issue an edict against the social evil, just as they did against the sell- ing of liquor in the houses of the Division. Mrs. K. W. Barrett, the next speaker, de- clared that she had never advocated the closing of a single door of shame until a charitable door had been opened for the re- ception of the women who would be turned out into the street. After referring to the Florence Crittendon Hope and Help Mis- sion, Mrs. Barrett discussed the property question, explaining that in some instances $200 a month is paid for the rent of houses in the Division, which would bring not more than $30 in any other section of the city. Mrs. Barrett stated that the reform work depends upon a change in public sentiment more than anything e! of the evils of the syst titution in Paris. ——>—__ CASES OF THE! A Number of Offenders Tried and Sentenced Today. ~ A young man named Edward Dulin was thirsty this morning, and when he reached 26th and L streets he thought he would quench his thirst with a jar of milk that had been left at No. 2608 L street by a dairyman. Not only did he think he would do it, but he carried out bis plan, although he did not know that there was a policeman watchm; bim at the time. Policeman O'Donoghue was not far away, however, and he reached the house about the time that the milk jar was lowered. The young man who had enjoyed the jar of milk could offer no excuse for his conduct other than to say he was thirsty. This ex- cuse availed him nothing, for the officer ar- rested him and took him to court later in the day. Before Judge Miller he appeared on a charge of theft, and because of the circuin- stances under which the theft was com- mitte@ and the amount involved a fine of enly $3 was imposed. Jonn Banks and George Nelson, colored boys, were before the court on a charge of theft, and it was only because of the ages they gave that they were not sentenced to the reform school. It appeared in evidence that they got in one of Beall & Baker's wagons Saturday af- fernoon and took some groceries and cloth- ing. When the driver discovered that the boys had robbed him he played the part of police- man and arrested Banks. ‘The latter made an effort to assault him, and a crowd of boys whcm he called demanded his release. Fearing he would have trouble with the boys, he released his prisoner, and they were afterward arrested. the Banks boy was joing on seventeen.” nd you?” Zighteen,”” answered Nelson. Detective Lacy said he thought Banks was younger than seventeen years and said he is a very bad boy. ‘The boys were given four months each. Frank Hooks was given a hearing on a charge of till tapping. He has worked for Kinsey & C South Washington grocet for several years and not until a few days ago was he suspected of being dishonest. Policeman Knupfer made the arrest on complaint, and charged the theft of 50 cents. The prisoner was fined $5 or fifteen days. Aaron Jones, colored, and William Law- less, white, newsboys, were in court on ac- count of trouble they had yesterday. Jones had taken two papers from Lawless, and then did not get the benefit of what he had done, for another boy snatched the papers from him and ran off. Jones was fined $5 for the two papers, while Lawless was paid his witness fee, $1.25, for his attendance as a witness. Joseph Stewart, colored, eighteen years old was charged with dishonestly obtaining money by means of a check for $2.50, which he passed on a grocer named W. H. Suit. The check, it was alleged, was a fraudu- lent one and Stewart was‘held for trial. Had a Pistol. Saturday night a colored man named Watkin Williams went in a saloon in South Washigton and soon participated in a quarrel. He had been drinking and because he could not have everything his own way he took a pistol from his pocket and threatened to kill the man who had the better of the argument. Watkin did not use the weapon, however, for others in the saloon took part in the affair and made him leave the place. After he had left the saloon one of the men made com- plaint to Policeman Roberts and Williams was arrested and locked up. He admitted that he had the pistol earlier in the even- ing and had figured in the difficulty in the saloon, but refused to tell where he had put the weapon. Judge Miller heard the case this morning and sentenced the pris- oner to sixty days in jail. ——.—__ Anthropological Society.

AMUSEMENTS, Bernhardt in “Phaedre.”—Mme. Bernhardt closed: her engagement at Allen’s Grand Opera House Saturday night by the presen- tation of Racine’s great tragedy ‘“Phaedre.” This severely classical play has not been seen in this city since it was given by Ristori many years ago, and the majority of those who saw it Saturday night witnessed it for the first time. As the hapless queen, con- sumed by a guilty love for her handsome stepson, Mme. Bernhardt is not seen at her best, for she is essentially a woman of ac- tion, and the simulation of repre’sed emotion is not her forte. The hero of the play was Hippolyte, admirably taken by M. Darmont, who caught the spirit of the author and elaborated it in a dignified and impressive manner. His splendid physique, his ease of manner, graceful gestures and the clearness with which he enunciated his lines enabled him to easily make the part the leading fea- ture of the performance. The support was adequate, and to those who affect a purely literary taste and the French classicism the tragedy was a pleasure. It is believed, how- ever, that the majority of the audience would ave preferred to see Bernhardt in ‘Fedora,’ as originally announced. “Ben Hur."—The great interest that the representation of the thrilling story of Ben Hur has excited is evidenced by the contin- ued demand for its reproduction. It will be given again on Tuesday and Wednesday evening, March 17 and 18, at the Church of Our Father. A number of new views of the celebrated chariot race have been added, making the total number upward of one jun- dred, and the musical effects are said to be exceptionally fine. Dr. Rogers’ rendering of the story has become famous throughout the city for its eloquence and finish, and one of the most valuable features of the enter- tainment is its highly stimulating effect on the moral and religious sense. Reserved seats are on sale at Metzerott’s. “Eloquence in Shakespeare. ther Statford will lecture on ‘Eloquence in Shakespeare” next Monday evening, March 23, at Metzerott Music Hall, for the ben- fit of St. Vincent’s Orphan Asylum, but the reputation of Father Stafford alone is enough to draw 2 crowded house. The sale of seats will begin Wednesday morn- ing at Metzerott’s music store. Lectures on Russia.—An interesting course of lectures on Russia will be delivered at the Washington Club, 1710 I street north- west, by Prince Serge Wolkonsky. The fi lecture will be tomorrow afternoon at :30, and as the lecturer is thoroughly equipped to do his subject justice, an en- joyable talk is anticipated. The other -lec- tures will be March 18, 21 and 24. Last Night's Sacred Concert—A sacred concert for the henefit of the poor of St. Aloysius’ parish was given last night at the Academy of Music, a number of the best known musicians of the city being participants. The Carroll Institute Orches- tra, Miss Anita Cluss, the Madrid Mando- lin’ and Guitar Quartet, John H. Nolan, Charles Ulivieri, a male quartet, consisting of Messrs. Phil. Baer, Chas. Skerrett, J. J. Nolan and J. H. Nolan; Mrs. Kitty Thomp- son-Berry, Hdward Walsh and Miss Pau- Ine Whittaker were among those who took part in the rendition of an extremely en- Joyable program. The Last Bischoff Concert—The last Bischoff concert of the present season will occur Friday, March 20. A new feature is announced for the next concert. It is a new quartet, known as the Bischoff Quar- tet, and it will make its initial appearance next Friday evening. It is composed of Miss Elsie M. Boad and Mrs. H. C. Brown- ing, sopranos, and Miss Florence McNelly and Mrs. James S. Raymond, contraltos. The Ice Palace.—The attraction at the Ice Palace this week will be the return engagement of Miss Mabel Davidson, the skating queen. She has been fulfilling en- gagements at different rinks since her visit here, and has added several new figure: and tricks to her skating. Her costumes, as before, will he one of the features of her present appearance. It is said that Miss Davidson was the best attraction the rink has ever had, and there is every in- dication that the immense crowds that saw her before will be repeated during this eek. Miss Davidson will give exhibitions every evening at 9 o'clock, lasting twenty minutes, except tonight and tomerrow night, when the hall is used by the Na- tional Guard, and this afternoon and to- morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. —__—_ UNION VETER! LEGION. Preparing for the Annu ment in This City. The ball of preparation for the annual encampment of the Union Veteran Legion, which is to be held next October in this city, was set in. motion at a largely attend- ed meeting Saturday evening in Willard’s Hall. Commissioner Ross was chosen pre- siding officer and Commissioner Powell was also in attendance. Addresses were made ty a number of those present, all urging that every effort be put forth to insure the success of the encampment. Major Powell, in a short address, stated that it is the duty of the city to extend a hearty welcome to the veterans, and Dr. Frank T. Howe pledged the support of the local press in the undertaking. On motion, a committee, consisting of ssrs. John W. Ross, Luke Kelly, John Joy Edson, M. M. Parker and Lawrence Gardner, was appointed, with power to se- lect all’ the working committees for the encampment. Commissioner Ross explain- ed that those associated with him on the committee were active in making the Grand Army encampment of 1892 a success. —_—— Delay for Boston Charlie. Detective Weedon has returned from New York, where he figured in the cases of Charles Mason, alias “Boston Charlie, and W. H. Hall, alias “Hill,” against whom there are charges of criminal conduct in this city. The former is charged with con- spiracy to defraud Mrs. Judge Lindsey of Gainesville, Tex., and the latter with the larceny of a gold watch and chain from Robert Drinkard. Their cases were heard before United States Commissioner Shields, but were not finally disposed of. “Boston Charlie,” who was fully identi- fied by the officer, claimed that he was without funds, and gave the names of sev- eral witnesses whom he wanted. These witnesses included Precinct Detective Sut- ton, Private Detective Daniel McDevitt and two residents of Alexandria, Fleisch- man, a hotel keeper, at whose hotel he stopped, and a man named Lully, by whom he expected to prove his presenc® in a poker room. The case was continued Fri- day, and {t is probable that one of the wit- nesses mentioned will be summoned to New York. The officer also identified Hall, and his case was continued until tomorrow, to hear the evidence of the man who lost the property. Enecamp- ———— Wanted to Reform. The first caller at police headquarters to- day appeared early in the morning. He was a man more than forty years old, who carried several baskets, and he had been out in the rain so long that he was drench- ed from head to foot. “I don’t expect to get my money,” he said, by way of introducing his subject, “but I want them fellows punished.” “What's the trouble?” he was asked. “I’ve been gambling,” was his response, and I think it’s about time the gambling house was broken up.’ He had played poker and seven-up at a house on 4% street southwest between M and N streets,he said, and had lost $50. “I’m a countryman,” he said, “but I’m well acquainted with the town and the peo- ple who were in the game. I can go home and get more money, but that’s rot what I want. I want the man punished so that he will have to go out of business. Then I Won't have the opportunity to play cards. What I want to do as much as anything else is to break up the place, so that when I come to town I won't have the tempta- tion, and can break myself of the gam- bling.” The man gave his name as A. B. Lawson, said he lives at Hamilton, Va., and knows of a number of gambling places in the city. He gave the names of those who were in Saturday night's game, and a warrant for the arrest of the man who conducted the game will be issued. ——.__ Book Sale This Evenin, Latimer & Co. will sell this evening at their auction rooms a miscellaneous collec- tion of books, some of them very valuable.* How Babies Suffer ‘When their tender skins are literally on fire with itching, burning, scaly and blotchy skin and scalp Giseases, with loss of bair, fe but mothers real- ize.

A Sporting . Organisation of Rare Merit. The Columbia Hunting Club is interesting ‘itself in the legislation pending-this winter to close the quiil season for two years in Maryland and Virginia. The severe weather of February and March last year nearly exterminated the quail, or “partridges,” in this vicinity, and sportsmen have been en- couraging every agency for their protection. Members of the club say that not a single quail has been shot by any member this year. Singularly, in all the hunting expedi- tions made by the club this season they have Seen no quail in their usual haunts, but in the District, near Washington, they have seen several coveys. ‘The club consists of ten members, the con- stitution limiting the number. No one can hore to become a member unless he is al- ready a well-known sportsman, whose skill, prudence and companionship are unques- tioned. The officers are: F. Kahlert, presi- dent; Karl Xander, vice president; Theodore Leckert, secretary; August Schmidt, treas- urer; Wm. Holmead and Hugo Kurschner, trustees; Andrew Loeffler, forest master; John M. Rueth, Wm. Berger; Herman Dai- ker, provision meister. The club has a rented club house at the corner of 7th and L streets, where regularly monthly business meetings are held. The club has taken stock in one of the building associations, to provide a fund to build a club house. Each meraber puts $5 a month into this fund, The club confines itself to no particular game, but organizes regular monthly excursions for duck shooting in Quantico, turkeys in the Blue Ridge, snipe on the Chesapeake or rabbits in Fairfax. Ore general hunt is had yearly, to which each member invites a friend. The annual banquets, the last one of which was given February 20, are rich in the variety and toothsome quality of game served, and they are events long to be remembered by those who enjoy them. —.__ We Strictly Mind Our Own Business.

A_ meeting, of Columbia Typographical Union No. 101 was held yesterday after- noon. There was a fair attendance, and af- ter some discussion resolutions were adopt- ed continuing the beer boycott. The resolu- tions declared “That the secretary shall no- tify the different proprietors of summer re- sorts that none of our members will be al- lowed to participate in any excursion dur- ing the season unless nothing but union beer and union cigars are gold at said re- sorts; also that no contract be made by the entertainment committee for an excursion by this union unless said resorts handle nothing but union beer and union cigars;” and also “that a fine of $5 be placed upon any member of this union who patronizes any man who deals in boycotted beer or ci- eis . The matter of sending three delegates to represent the union at the conference to be held Sunday next for the purpose of com- pleting the organization of a branch of the American Federation of Labor here was considered at length. After the adoption of a resolution favoring the scheme, the union elected three delegates, who are expected to vote for the new organization, provided they shall find upon attending the confer- ence that it 1s advisable to have another central labor body in Washington. The regular weekly meeting of the man- agers of the workingmen’s library and la- bor bureau was held yesterday afternoon, with President N. C. Sprague in the chair and Mr. C. A. Maidens as secretary. Mr. Maidens announced that Commis- stoner of Labor Carroll D. Wright had as- sured him that he would do all in his power to secure public documents for the project- ed brary. A vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. H. Friedlander for the gift of a handsome clock for the library. There was some talk in reference to the proposed concert for the benefit cf the l- brary and in regard to beer matters, but nothing of importance in that direction was transacted. —_——.__ Marriage Licenses.
