ITHE USUAL FINES Oases Tried in the Police Court This Drunk and Disorderly Was the Fre- dominating Charge — How the Victims Fared. Mary Noonan called on her old friend, Miss Johanna Quill, at No. 36 Massachu- setts avenue, last even!ng, and there she met an old soldier named Benscn. The ol r-an’s pension money was not all gone, and so he pleased his friends by “rushing the growler.” There is a saloon in the neighborhood of Miss Quill’s house, where a water bucket of beer costs only a few nickels, but just hew mary times the bucket was filled last night Policeman Pat Creagh does not know. Policemen Creagh and Lynch came along just about the time the liquid refreshments had taken effect, and the members of the trio were rather hilarious. Johanna Quill’s veice could be heard above the others, al- though Mrs. Noonan did her share of the talking. The old pensioneer had very lit- tle show, so far as the talking was con- cerned, and so he was not arrested, but vas sent home. Both Johanna and her guest, Mrs. Noon- an, were taken to the police station and registered, the former as “Grunk” and the latter was charged with vagrancy. “If I had not gone to visit Joe Quill last right,” said Mrs. Noonan to Policeman Flynn this morning at the Police Court “I wouldn't haveebeen here this morning. “What made you go there?” the officer asked her. “Only to make a friendly call,” she an- swered, “and we had some beer, but I'm ver going there any more.” ‘Where's Joe Quill “Policeman Creagh let her go,” said Mary, “and I didn’t think it was right for him to make fish of one and flesh of an- other.” Mary is now more than fifty-years old. Several years ago she had trouble with her husband, and the latter applied to the di- vorce courts for relief. Policeman Creagh Was well acquainted with the woman's family troubles, and he registered her as Mary Smith. When the unfortunate woman appeared before Judge Kimball she had no com- plaint to make, because her name had bean recorded as Smith, and when ar- raigned she said she was guilty of having been drunk. “Last night I arrested her for her own protection,” sald the pokceman; “and I hope your honor will take her personal bonds to keep away from Joe Quill’s house, for the neighbors do not want her to come there.” “The great trouble with you is whisky,” the court said to her. “I know it Is, judge, your honor,” the woman adm'tted; “but if you let me go I'll promise never to do so any more.” “J would like to believe that,” the judge told her, “but if you will prom‘se to keep away from Johanna Quill’s house I'll take your personal bonds.” “I'll make the promise, and keep It, too,”” concluded Marv, and she was thereupon released. In Bad Shape. George Woodbury was in the toils as a victim of strong drink, and he was in such a horrible condition that !t was only with a great effort that he was able to address the court. “He's my wife's sister’s husband,” said W. J. Staub, who appeared as complainant in the case. “His wife is subject to epi- leptic fits, but he is drunk so much that she is left on our hands, and we have to take care of her.” “What is her condition?” the court asked. “It is so bad that her husband's services are needed all the time, but he is drunk so much that she is neglected. I don't want him sent to the workhouse, but I think he is a fit subject for the hospital.” “How long has he been on this drunk?” “Since pension day, as usual. “How often does he get on these drunks?” “Every pension day,” the witness an- swered, “but he does not go away. He brings the liquor home, and lies about the house, on the Pierce Mill road.” “I'm sick,” said the nervous man. “Yes; whisky sick,” remarked the court. “What about this charge?” “I drink,” admitted the unfortunate vic- tim of alcohol, “and sometimes for several days.” ‘How long have you been on this drunk?’ “About a week.” you let me off this time?” asked the prisoner. “I'll go home and won't drink any more liquor.” “But,” the court told him, “you are not in a condition to make any promises. It’s a shame that you will spend your money for rum and make a brute of yourself, when your wife is so much in need of your money and services.”” He had never been arrested before, and the judge said he would give him only fif- teen days, and ordered that he be sent to the hospital for treatment. Samuel Robinson, a young colored man who is also a victim of alcohol, was in court on a charge of disorderly conduct. “Sam was considerably under the influ- ence of liquor last night,” said Policeman Payne, “and I locked him up because he was disorderly. Even after being locked up he continued his bad language, and quar- reled with Joe Quill, who was in the ad- joining cell.” “You will have to pay a fine of five dol- lars or go down,” the court told him. If Tom Kane had not been under the in- fivence of liquor last night he would never have been guilty of the bad conduct for which he was arrested. He was arrested by Policeman Gibson. “What things people will do when they are drunk,” remarked the court. “That's so, your honor,” said counsel, “but is has been on his good behavior for a long time. “I Eaven't been in this condition before for three year3,” said Kane, “and I thought I did the best I could last night.” “It's too bad,” sald the judge, “that people cannot let whisky alone and keep out of trouble. In consideration of your good record, however, I will make the fine only $5 instead of $10, the usual amount.” ——._—_ Excelsior Literary Club. ‘The regular monthly sociable of the Ex- celsior Literary Club assembled at the resi- dence of Mrs. A.

AMUSEMENTS, Boston Instrumental Club.—The concert of the Boston Instrumental Club at Met- zerott Music Hall yesterday afternoon was well attended, and an erjoyable program Was rendered. The concert was given for the benefit of the Washington Home -for Foundlings, and that irstitution will re- ceive a neat sum as the proceeds from the entertainment. The club rendered its num- bers in excellent style, and received the en- tire approval of the large audience from the start. Mrs. Annie B. Gardner was the solo'st, and received much applause for her work. The club played selections of the highest class of music, embracing numbers by Chopin, Wagner, Schubert, Gounod and Verdi, giving all of them with spirit and expression and the greatest amount of musical intelligence.

Watterson on LincolIn.—_Mr. Henry Wat- terson, the distinguished journalist and statesman, will deliver his celebrated lec- ture on Abraham Lincoln at Lafayette Square Opera House next Sunday evening. He has been received with enthusiasm wherever he has gone, and particularly in the south his lecture has been highly prais- ed. In the selection of Washington as the place to close his lecture season, Henry ‘Watterson made no mistake: It will he a brilliant ending to a most successful lec- ture tour. His oration on Lincoln has every- where in the west and south drawn great crowds of people. It is remarkable how the southerners have turred out to hear Abra- ham Lincoln eulogized by the distinguished editor, and the enthusiastic applause which praise for Lincoln has received. The scuth never knew until Watterson told them what a good and kind friend it had in Lincoln. The Lincoln Post, G. A. R., with invited comrades, have engaged 200 balcony seats for the lecture. They will go in a body, in full uniform. “A Woman of War.”—A play of more than usual interest Will be at Allen's Grand Opera House next week. It was first pro- duced in Baltimore, and has since made a successful tour of the south. The Savan- nah News, in speaking of its presenta! in that city recently, says: “The hercie devotion of the women of the suih to (he cause of the < cy, during these ‘days that tried men’s souls,’ from 1st1 until the bonnie blue ‘lag went down in final defeat, has eon theme of song and story for ore than a quarter of a century, and will continue to be such tor probably a zentury to come. And it is a rich and frnitfal theme. The sacrifices, the fertility of resources, the loyalty, the love of the women of the south for the cause of their section stands without parallel in history. One of tne tenderest, and yi withal, one of the most hervic of the sto: of the war hinging upon the daring and loyalty of a woman is that of ‘A Woman of »” written by (ieneral Felix / us Cf Baltimore, dramatized by him in col tion with Miss Louse Malloy, and ves ed at the theater last night by Miss Vir- ginia Stuart and a -ompetent company of artists. General Agaus briefly explains that during much of his service in the war he was among the south#rn people, and iad ample opportunity of studyinz the men and women of this sec His experienc with the daughters of the south showed him that the southern women of the war were almost without exzeption true, ten- der-hearted, loving, loyal -iauzh south, who, during the eventful times try women’s soul as well as a man’s, mained ever faithful to their trust, lo: to their cause, and risked potn love self for its preservati In this line he has drawn the character of his hervi who is tender, gentle, refined, quiet: yet Possessed of the fire of patriotism and the courage of truth and honor.” Pictures of German Life.—Rev. Alex. Mackay-Smith, the eloquent rector of St. John’s Church, will deliver a lecture in the guild room of Epiphany Church tomorrow evening on “Pictures of German Life and Literature in the Time of Goethe.” From Mr. Mackay-Smith’s weil-known reputation as a scholar and orator, an exceedingly in- teresting talk may be anticipated.

The lecture room of Trinity M. E. Church was filled last even‘ng, the occasion be:ng the farewell reception to the Rey. Dr. M. F. B. Rice, the retiring pastor, and his family. The Rey. J. B. St!tt and a number of his congregation, from Dumbarton Avenue Church, West Waskington, where Dr. Rice had previously served as pastor, were pres- ent. ~ The evening exercises were opened by prayer by the Rev. R. Emmons, and ad- dresses were made by the Rev. J. B. Stitt in behalf of his church and himseif and Messrs. T. B. Stahl, M. Otterback, H. F. Belt and Wm. Palmer in behalf of the dif- ferent bodies of the church, their remarks plainly portraying the sympathetic and true friendly feeling existing for Dr. Rice and his family, and invoking God’s blessing upon them in the:r new field at Cumber- land. A-musical and literary program was ren- dered, and Dr. Rice and family were pre- sented with a handsome token of sol.d silver ware, consisting of tea and dessert spoons, knives and forks. Dr. Rice spoke enthusiastically and very touchingly in response to the many words and tokens of affection from his friends. ‘The event was one not likely to be forgot- ten in the history of the church. Contributions to the mus‘cal afid literary portion of the program were rendered by the church choir and Messrs. Gottwalls, Stratton, Maddert, Henny and Buckler. —~—.___ Bells on Bicycle: To the Editor of The Evening Star: A few bicycle riders have aired themselves pretty freely in your columns during the last week versus the use of bells. I would like to ask these “‘no-bell apostles” if they can pame any other vehicle, machine or collection of wleels used for road purposes that is allowed to travel on our streets without having some accompanying means of giving a warning note of its presence. Every piece of mechanism I know of makes Ls aware of its approach except the bi- cycle, and just why this ‘rubber-clothed fad should “rule the roost” and steal so mysteriously along our thoroughfares, en- dingering life and limb at every point, is surely a problem. One writer talks about the “expense of it,” and quotes figures, etc., in Fis defense. Here is a pointer for him: One ordinary sleigh bel) suspended from his Landle-bar by a simple, short rubber band will do all that is necessary, and. I am sure, these bells are manufactured, silver- plated, imiteting almost every note in teusic, and, if properly selected, would be agreeable to the ear. They can also be, made mute instantly, if required, by sim- ple manipulation. How much would one of these bells cost? Another sage writer tells us “that all pedestrians who cross the rcad do so at their own risk.” Shades of Solomon! hs reminds me of an Irish judge who once rendered this opinion upon a case of two Yoys charged with obstructing the sidewalk: “If every verson stood around blocking up the streets, as you fellows did, how would the other people get along?” BELL ADVOCATE. | Felph THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1896-TWELVE PAGES, FOR SOCIAL.

Dr. Hall is pastor of the leading Presbyterian Church of New York, and Dr. Radcliffe’s former charge wes in Detroit, where he was in direct tech with the frontier work of northern Michigan. His recent address to his own congregation was highly appreciated, and other congregations will be glad to hear im on a subject which he knows so well. Dr. Hall's congregation gives each year $20,000 for home missions and often more. In ‘some cases single individuals in it con- tribute similar munificent gifts for this ob- ject. A * Dr. Hamlin and Dr. Tuccock will: dastat at the meeting, and Prof. Pearman wil! sing. ———— Chapin Auxiliary.
