THOSE AIR MOTORS Promises Made by the Eckington Railroad Managers. MIGRATORY PLACES OF MANUFACTURE Mr. Kane’s Letter to the District Committee Chairman. HE CALLS THEM FAIRY TALES Chairman Babcock of the House District committee has received the following letter trom Mr. T. P. Kane of the Eckington Citizens’ Association in reference to Senate bill 2801, which is intended as a substitute for all bills heretofore introduced relating to the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home ang Belt Line railroads. Mr. Kane says: “This bill was introduced on the 10th in- stant by Senator McMillan (at the request of the representatives of the railroads), who disclaims all responsibility therefor. uch being the case, I beg leave to in- close herewith a copy of a communication The Evening Star of the 13th : my signature, criticising the various provisions of this bill. “| also inclose a copy of an editorial which appeared in the same issue of that paper, taking a corresponding view of the bill. Whatever position The Evening Star assumes editorially upon any question af- fecting the interests and welfare of the people of Washington is not far from Te- ing exactly what the people want. Permit me, therefore, to especially commend this editorial to your careful consideration, and that of the committee in connection with bil. In regard to the compressed air motors with which Col. Douglass said it was the intention of the Eckington company to very soon equip its lines, I desired to ask him some pertinent questions at the hear: ing, but was not afforded an opportunt. “A year ago it was authoritatively stated that the Eckington company contemplated putting on alr motors, and that a contract had been entered into with a concern at Rome, N. Y., to build eight or ten ears of this character, which were then id to be in course of construction, and would be in Washington and in operation on the line within less than two weeks from that date. A month and more rolled by, but the wind cars came not, and inquiry was made is to when it was learned that a had arisen over the con- and it was declared off. st Febru a committee of the North ol and Eckington Citizens’ Association called upon President of the Eck- ington and Beit Line compantes to ascertain from him what prospect there was for a nee of motive power on these lines. He befcre the committee a very comprehen- nof what the companies wanted in y of extensions, and stated that a the w: contract would that day be signed with a firm to ild eight cr ten compressed air which would be in operation on the ton [ne bythe lth of May or the of June at the lat This time the place of construction was at Pittsburg, Pa. “On the tant the Washington Post published ngly entertaining and slow scription of the air motor sys- tem and its wonderful achievements in parts not stated. Evening pleasure parties mountel on gaily decorated double-decker wind lighted by electricity and capped band, gliding phantasamagoric- zh the streets of Washington and nto the peaceful quiet of the sub- »s that now long for rapid transit, were aphically and romantically described. According to this authority these bottled nd annthilators of time and distance were being built in Baltimore, and would give a first performance on the lines of the Eck- ington company about the last of the pres- ent summer. “On the 18th ti ant a statement was published in The Evening Star, based upon the hority of some,one connected with these companies, that an order for the con- struction of ten of these air castles had been placed with H. K. Butler & Co. of Pittsburg; that work upon the contract had been commenc and that these magic s would shortly be exhibiting their won- a formances on the lines of the on company in Washington. Ac- < to this last authority the place of construction had migrated from Baltimore back again “to Pittsburg. , On the 13th instant I wrote to a friend in Pittsburg, inclosing a copy of The Star article, and requested him to ascertain and let me know what, if any, truth there was in, the statement. Yesterday I rece’ tating that there is no firm in or Allegheny City of the name of H. suller & Co.; that the name does not year in the directory of either ty, and there is no manufacturer of street cars in either of those cities, and none are built there. “At the hearing before your committ yesterday Col. Douglass stated that tl Place of construction ef thes migratory air motors was no’ at Worcester, Ma having reached there from Rome, via Pit burg and Baltimo and that the bottles that were to In the st 1 wind are being manufactured at Milw: not state the name of the Worcester firm who are buiiding these cars, nor where the wind that is to propel them is being gen- erated. He said he asked the manufac- turers how long it would take to fill an order for ten cars, and they said thirty da: He did not say that the order had placed and that the cars were being tructed, but that it would take thirty to build them after the order was ee When all the things come to pass that have been related in ‘he periodical fairy tales that have been told the Washington public by the agents and representatives of the Eckingion road of this wond al- ways to come but never here, air car, the millennium will have been reached in the car service of the Eckington line, and there will be no longer any necessity for lex! lative ‘Be it enacteds’ to direct or con- trol the movements of this philanthropic corporation, and the harassed members of the House District committee and the perturbed spirits of the North Capitol and kington Citizens’ Association will rest in rhaps in the course of human events some pitying zephyr will add its gentle force to the bottled wind in these airy castles, and waft them over to the Jand of promise, without legislation fixing a limit of time within which all these things that have been foretold to us for nearly two long years shall come upon us, and pen- alties be unnecessary.” Sa All About a Rooster. There are strained relations existing be- tween the colored residents of Fort Totten, and some of them managed to get inte the Police Court yesterday. One side was rep- resented by Thomas Smith, Jennie Smith and Mary Kenny, while Levi Brown was other. Although the people live in cultural district Brown objected to » made by Mr. Smith's leud crow- “I want that d— chicken to ing roo. stop crowing,” said Brown to Mrs. Smith one morning. “No, indeed, Dick,” said Mrs. Smith to her pet fowl, “I feeds you, and you just crow all au wan Each e Mrs. Smith spoke to the roos- ter ther me an exhibition of lung power frem the fowl What followed was ex- plained in court. The affair lasted only a few minutes, but it took nearly two hou of Judge Kimball’s*tfme to unravel the matter. Jennie Smith received a severe injury to her face, and Levi Brown had also been struck with a stone. lawyer Peyton represented the Brown contingent, and Lawyer Moss represented the Smiths and Mrs. Kenny. v ‘s after witness was examined and Judge Kimball finally concluded that Brown, who was first offended, was guilty of $10 worth of fighting, and this amount he paid. Mary Kenny was fined $5 or fifteen days, and Mrs. Smith was acquitted, while her husband's personal bonds were taken. ————__- Transfers of Real Estate.

Allen's Grand Opera House.—The play of “Ingomar,” given at Allen's Grand Opera House last evening by Miss Franklyn- Lynch, Mr. Louis Crennan and a company made up of pupils from the New National Theater School of Acting, for the benefit of the Institution of Our Lady of Mercy, drew a good-sized audience and netted a goodly sum for that worthy charity. The play was well presented, Miss Lynch taking the character of Parthenia and Mr. Cren- nan Ingomar. Both were exceptionally good, and their portrayals were received with a great deal of favor. Miss Lynch possesses a splendid figure, sweet face and good voice, and, although her representation of the Greek maiden did not show the depth of tha passionate nature that is generally at- tributed to her, Miss Lynch's portrayal of the character was sweet and tender. Mr. Crennan also possesses a good stage ap- pearance, and an excellent voice, and Fis work was up toa high standard for ar ama- teur. The other characters were taken by Mr. G. W. Curtis as Polydor, Louis Ander- son as Myron, Miss S. L. Ball as Actea and Miss G. C. Anderson as Theano. “An Artist's Model.""—The London and New York success, ‘An Artist’s Model comes to the Lafayette Square Theater Monday night for a week. The newspapers and critics where it has been presented all aver that Marte Studholme ts_ really a beauty, and that “An Artist's Model" is really a most clever thing, and that George Edwardes’ English Burlesquers are rare entertainers. Miss Marie Studholme’s dainty beauty and her girlish animation are said to be most refreshing, Fred Wright, jr., 1s heralded as a particularly clever comedian, Alice Nixon as the best dancer from Lon- don since Lettie Lynd and Sylvia Grey, Lawrence D’Orsay as a heavy swell jm- personator par excellence, and Percy Mar- shall and E. W. Garden as very able char- acter comedians. Miss Alison Skipworth, who assumes the role of the ex-model, 1s credited with rare beauty and a superd stage presence. Maurice Farkoa, a little Frenchman, is said to be very clever and graceful. He sings a laughing song that was one of the hits of the plece in New York. John Coates has a barltone voice that the majority of baritone singers, it is said, well might envy. The features are too numerous to mention. Among them are a Trilby song, a “Volunteer” song, “The Laughing Song.” “Tom-tit” song and dance, Mr. Wrigh' Geraldine” song and “Jumping-Jack’ dance, a Parisian quadrille, the ‘Umpty- Umpty-Aye” song and dance, and a Sir Roger de Coverly dance. The costumes are said to be superb, and the scene at the fall of the curtain Is described as really brilliant. Testimonial to Mr. Downing.—The forth- coming testimonial to Mr. Robert Downing, which will take place at the Grand Opera House next Saturday evening, is an event that every Washingtonian should feel in- terested in. The beneficiary is a native of this city, born and reared here. who, by his persistent efforts, coupled with wonderful histrionic ability, has won for himself a high place In the ranks of the actors of the day. His interpretation of the Gladiator has made his name a household word over the pentire length and breadth of this continent. and has placed him easily at the head of hi: e of parts. A double = one-act comedy, “French Marriage,” and ‘The Gladiator.” Mr. Downing will be supported by powerful company, led by the accompl artiste, Mrs. Robert Downing (Eugent Blair), who will appear in both plays. Misa Judson, late of the Hinrichs company, will sing between the plays, and an augmented orchestra, under the dire Trexina of the Marine Band, e eral original compo: ats ar ing rapidly, and there fs every reason to be- lieve that the house wiil be crowded by Mr. Downing’s friends and admirers. Mr. Shaw's Summer Seasen. night, April 27, at Allen's ¢ House, Mr. Ghas. A. Shaw will introduce to the Washington theater goers his company of singing and acting comedians and come- diennes. Withont doubt this Is the most expensive company ever organized for a summer season at popular prices. Mr. Shaw 1s the originator of summer come- dies, and to him belongs the credit of fur- nishir.g the patrons of theaters in Wash- ingten strictly first-class entertainment at a cost less than half the usual theater price. This season a decided change hes been made in the class of plays to be given. Instead of producing straight comedies, as heretofore, nothing but musical comedies will be preduced, with a good chorus and singing principals. Specialties will also be appropriately introduced. Joctor Flam,” a new English musical comely in two abounding in funny situations, laugha dialogue and Wight musical numbers, h. been sel>:ted for the opening bill.

Ficlds and Hanson's Company.—Manager Kernan’s : ttraction for next week will be Fields and Hanson's Drawing Cards. This anization is described as an extraor( nary aggregation of superior vaudeville stars. The company js headed by Fields and Hanson, the only true emperors of musical comedy, whose Imitators can be counted by the score. The other names ap- pearing on the roster are Joe Flynn, au- thor and singer of popuiar parodies; Miss Phyllis Allen, America’s favorite cont Blocksom and Burns, the eccentric charac- ter comedians; Jack and Rosa Burke, acro- batic sketch artists; Lalor and Chester, premier Irish lians, and Daly and Hilton, the travesty stars, Mr. Conwell’s Lecture.—The first of a se- ries of entertainments to be given at the Ie Street Baptist Church was presented last evening in the form of a lecture by Mr. Russell H. Conwell of Philadelphia, who on the subject of “The Jolly Earth- ke, or How to Be Happy.” The audi- in attendance was large and the lec- had all his hearers with him at eve! ment during the evening, his original syings and funny incidents keeping the majority in an excellent humor. His p cipal theme was “laugh and he happy,” and bis own laughter proved so contagious that his hearers were kept in a broad grin most of the time. The other entertainments will be given during the spring, a concert on May 6 and a lecture by Mr. Robert J. Bur- dette on “The Story cf Rollo” coming on the 19th of the same month. Miss Rogers’ Benefit.—Miss Lucie Rogers received a testimonial benefit at National Rifles’ Armory last evening, the dramatiza- tion of Ouida’s novel “Under Two Flags” being the entertainment provided for the large audience that attended. Miss Kogers a Washington girl and has played in “The Vendetta” company and with William H. Crane in “My Wife's Father,” and her friends turned out in full force last evening to see her first appearance as a star. She took the part of Cigarette in the play and acted it in a thorough manner. Hal Clar- endon took the part of the hero and did very well. Wm. H. Conley, as an Irish ser- vant, and Mrs. Clarendon Smith, as an Irish girl and an English countess, were excel- lent. The others who participated in the rendition were Misses Brown, Alice Durfee and M. P. Lockwood, and Messrs. A. T. Seaman, D. F. Murphy, S. E. Halsey, Fd- win F. Campbell, James L. Hart, L. H. Birdette and J. W. Ryan. Specialties were introduced during the course of the play in the shape of comic songs by Joseph and Willlam Conley and fancy dancing by Miss Florence McGuirk.

Bangs, humor- ist reader, and the Madrids, will participate in the concert, and an exceptionelly enjoy- able evening is looked forward to. ‘The Choral Soclety.—Those who have heard Mendelssohn's “Elijah,” even though it be many times, have yet to say they are tired of its grand, inspiring music, while those who have never had the enjoyment of hearing it rendered, although it has been sung here a number of times, should not miss the opportunity afforded when the Choral Society gives it Friday evening at __ THE COUGH WHICH LINGERS because of a, rundown condition Of the system, not at ordinary ‘cough medicines, Will Field readily to” ee Scott’s Emulsion because it gives strength to the weakened . e1ables it § throw off disease: meter Monday Allen’s Grand Opera House. There is per. haps no oratorio that affomis such opportt nities for concerted workias the ‘Elijah’ does, and the Choral Sabiety has been at work eng the hardest of work—for months and even yeafs fecting itself if the dnisiegie details of the imerent hor; uses. Besides the choruseay the quar: s and double quartet work is music of thé highest type, and to the end that the production may be made as complete as possible the Philharmonic and Apollo qyartets have been engaged for the concert.! ‘The soloists who are to take the leading parts, and especially Ericsson Bushnell, who is-one of the finest oratorio singers in the country, are at- tracting general attention, and the indica- tions are that the coming concert will be the most successful event in which the Choral Society has ever participated. The Rubenstein Club Goncert.—The sec- ond concert of the first #eries undertaken by the Rubinstein Club: and the Capital Glee Club was given last evening in Metz- erott Hall before an unusually large and thoroughly appreciative audience. The staxze dressings were tasty and refined, and all in all the affair proved a great success.

The work of all the singers and of Miss Lucas was excellent, determined applause greeting every number. Mr. Clow- ard made an efficient director, while the work of Mr. Edward Droop and Mr. Archi- bald Olmstead, as accompanists, was not other than artistic. - Amateur Journalists. The recent meeting of the Capital City Club of Amateur Journalists at the resi- dence of Miss Ada Love was one of the mest enjoyable of this season. There was a good attendance, and the coming conven- tion was discusssed. The only regret of the evening -was the absence of Mr. Edwin Hadley Smith, the ex-president of the club, who is now on business in the north. After a short business meeting and the reading of letters from Mr. Charles Burger, ex- president of the National Amateur Press Association, and Mr. Smith, Mr. W. A. Croffut gave an interesting talk. After a few encouraging remarks to the club, he spoke of the necessity of the members hav- ing a wide knowledge of things, and a clear, concise mode of expression if they ever expect to enter the professional field. Mr. Croffut also read some very interesting accounts of his trials and observances dur- ing his travels in Europe. “In everything new and modern America is far ahead of Europs he said, “but in old ruins and things valued for their anti- quity, We are much behind Europe.” ‘The papers read by the members were a sketch, “The Study of Biography,”” by Miss Ada Love; a short story, “A Leap Year y Miss Gertrude Moss Walsh; Vincent F, Howa and an Amateur Journalism,” by Mi All of these showed decided bility and gave evidence of thor- ough sympathy with the subject at hand on the part of the writer. Dr. Franklin T. Howe also gave a short talk, and compli- mented the members on their good work. The evening closed with refreshments fur- nished by the hostess. The next meeting of the club will be at the residence of Miss Sarah Wiliard Howe, in Brookland, May 2. SS 100 ft. boards for ome dollar, lumber. F.

Interest in the mission services being con- ducted in the Church of the Epiphany seems to be on the increase, and at iasi night's service the audience room was crowded to hear Rev. W. Hay Aitken, the English missioner. He preached three times yesterday. The business men’s hour seems to be an especially attractive one, and dur- a floem by article on Dowden. literary best . ave. ing this week Mr. Aitken will discuss at the noon services different ses of the theme, “Is Life Worth Living’ His sermon last night was in the nature of a continuation of the sermon the even- ing before, taken from the parable of the pharisee and publican. Last night he dis- cussed the parable of the publican, and drew many helpful lessons from his story. Mr. Aitken is spevially effective in his preaching, appealing to the reason rather than to the emotions, and the con- clusion of his services many seek an cp: portunity for private conversation with him. eee entetetetetetototetocodecornntineeteteteteteds } ROYAL } BAKING | POWDER: 3 z i : Absolutely Pure.

Section B of the mammoth body of singers met for the first time, and were addresced by Chairman C. 8.Clark of the '98 music committee, who urged upon the mem- bers the essentials for successful work— an earrest purpose, loyalty to duty and ° consecrated voice. He announced that the membership of the whole chorus had not yet reached the desired 4,000 mark, and urged that all present spread the invitation to those who had not already signed mem- bership cards, that they might do so at once. Those desiring to enlist in the ranks of the chorus should report immediateiy, he said, to the leader of the choir in the nearest Christian Endeavor Society. Mr. Clark then turned the drilling of the chorus over to Mr. Percy S. Foster. “Yours is not an easy task,” remarked Mr. Foster. “It Is not always a cool occupation to sit up near the top of a large tent on the White Lot in July weather and sing. But Iet us enter this work from the outset to make melody unto the Lord with grace in our hearts. Mr. Foster drilled the section on a num- ber of selections which will be sung during the convention, and great enthusiasm was manifested by the chorus in the work. With each succeeding number, and becaus of a spirit of friendly competition suggest- ed with the section that has already ri hearsed, the interest was especially ke At the conclusion of the rehearsal Mr. Clark called upon Mr. W. H. H. Smith, chairman ,of the committee of M6, to say a few words of greeting. Mr. Smith said he came into the building tired. He now felt rested. “The chorus made a fine dem- onstration,” he declared. Mr. Clark stated that the music comm‘t- tee was planning to give several public re- hearsals during June, which would be in the nature of concerts, at which time the general public would be given an opportu- nity to hear the work of the chorus.
