Four cells are provided for the prisoners, three for men and one for women, and sometimes there are nearly a hundred occupants of the four cells. Today there were twenty- five prisoners confined there, four of them being colored women. These unfortunates had slept in police stations in the small cells built for one, and then they were given a ride, for which no fee was charged. Some of the overheated men were nearly ex- hausted by the time the early morning pro- cession started. A requisition for electric fans has been made, but the court officials hardly expect it to be filied before Christ- mas, as, they say, it usually takes a long i ries from the District So far as ice water is concerned, the prisoners have no reason to expect such a luxury. Those who are “extra dry” on account of the dissipations of the previous night will have to be content with’ the or- dinary Potomac water. In today’s party there were several victims of intemperance. the condition of whose stomachs called for a large supply of liquid. Although they re- quested a little ice in their Potomac cock- tails, they did not refuse straight water. Not Vagrants. : Two of the men who were in this condi- tion were Willlam Butler and John R. Burgee. Tuey were extremely nervous and Butler's face showed evidences of a large conflict with strong drink. “You are charged with being vagrants,” said the clerk, “are you guilty or not guilty?” “Not guilty,” was their plea. “Judge, your honor,” said a policeman, omplaint has been made about tramps sleeping in a vacant house on 8th street northwest between G and H streets, and this morning about 2 o'clock I found these men drunk and asleep in the house.” “Do you know anything about these men other than finding them in this house?” in- quired the court. “No, sir.” do, your honor,” sald another officer, ve seen them about the streets under the influence of liquor.” “Well, Butler,” said Judge Miller, “what have you to say about this charge?” “I've been drinking, but when I get out I'm going before Justice Mills and take the pledge.” “Did you ever take it before “Yes, sir; and kept it for months.” “What do you do for a living?” “I worked yesterday huckstering chick- ens and took several drinks. Last night I was caught in the rain, and when I met Burgee he asked me to go to this vacant se with him. uu went, of course?” seventeen our family?” My wife's sick in Richmond,” answered the man, “but if you will let me go I'll take the pledge and keep It.” “Well, Bu what's the matter with you?" Judge Miller inquired.

This one act,” the court said, “does not make the men vagrants, but if you are caught in there again you will have to go to the workhouse.” They were discharged. Looking for His Relatives. In the toils was Joseph Berry, a colored boy, who wants a home. His parents are ead, if his story is to be believed, but he has a brother and sister who live near this cit “He was walking down morning about 12-00 o'clock,” said Police- man Catts, “and when he saw me he ran. I soon caught him, and he told me his par- ents were dead, and he had come in from the county leoking for his relatives.” “Step around here, Jack,” said the judge, 1 tell me s ing about yourself. you from? ‘stown.”” 7th street this “She's dead, too, and I ain’t got nob elf, except a brother and sister. “And where are they?" “Somewhere near this city,” the boy an- swered. “I don’t know just where.” “When I arrested the boy,” the officer ex- plained, “he was hungry and tired.” “And hasn't he had anything to eat yet?” the court asked. s, indeed, your honor,” sald Mr. Pugh. “He had breakfast at the Hotel de Flynn.” The boy thought it was the best break- fast he had had for a long time. Judge Miller sald he thougnt the boy should not be sent to the work house, but should be given a good home, and with this idea in view he made an order turning him over to the board ef children’s guardians. A Crap Game. There was a crap game in Schott's alley not many days ago and Policeman Arch- ambault managed to get the names of sev- eral of t ¢ who participated in it. John Gray, Fred Butler, Spencer Snowden and Wiliiam Kelly were those whose names he learned and they figured in the proces- sion. This alley is inhabited chiefly by Italians and colored people. here was a time when the Italians and colo: people frequented peak-@asies” there and then engaged in fights, but since these quiet drinking places have been closed by the police “crap shoot- ers” seem to have taken possession and do of the law breaking. ju are charged with disorderly con- was the charge read by the clerk. ‘ou guilty or not guilty?” “Guilty,” chorused the quartet, and the usual fine, $ or fifteen days each, was im- posed. Tourists. Three colored strangers, Julius James, John Thomas and Roy Ambush, were in the procession because they had been caught in a freight car. “We are travelers,” said one of the trio, “and don’t belong here.” “Where are you from? “Alabama,” but Prosecutor Pugh, who is from the same state, failed to recognize his fellow cttizen. “I'm from Smithburg, Md.,” said another, while the third man says his home is also in Maryland. “What were you doing in this car?” “Only in there for a night’s lodging.” They were held in $100 security or ninety days on the farm, and they went down. A Family Affair. Frank B. Lloyd, who had deposited $5 collateral for his appearance on a charge of disorderly conduct, was in court to de- fend the charge. He does not live with his wife and chil- dren, but, it is charged, has annoyed the wife, as well as his parents-in-law. J. H. Rollins, his father-in-law, preferred the charge against him. “Judge,” said Rollins, “it's very humil- iating for me to have to come here every month with this man.” “And it’s very tiresome to the court, I assure you.” Lloyd admitted that he had had several drinks before he caHed at the house ad- joining his father-in-law’s home, but he was very careful about what he said. “The court took our children from us several months ago,” he sald, “and now they are back in the house with this man and woman (his wife's parents). I think they are not proper persons to have the children, and I think I have a right to call on the little ones.” Judge Miller said he was tired of havi to hear this trouble every few days, fined Lloyd $3, which he paid. A colored quartet from Ivy City appeared inthe procession on complaint of Police- man Stearns for disturbing the quiet of the city, not far from the home of Col. Carson.

A young man named Arthur Langvoidt ‘was in court for “scorching” on his bicy- cle yesterday, and he admitted he was guilty. “I had been up town at a music store,” said the young man, “and had an engage- ment to take a music lesson at 2 o'clock. Then I was late, and so I hurried along home.” “He was riding very fast,” said Police- man Dodge. “I first saw him at 9th street, and didn’t overtake him until he got near the Peace monument, although I rode as fast as I could. E “Between a scorcher and a policeman in pursuit,” remarked the court, “a pedes- trian would have had a fine time.” A fine of $3 was imposed. A huckster named Joseph Simonds, who a drunk twice yesterday, was in the dock or disorderly conduct. He was arrested about 2 o'clock in the afterncon and released on collateral, and six hours later he was again locked up. The collateral in the first case was forfeit- ed, and in the second case he was fined. ——— IN HONOR OF BURNS. The Anniversary of His Death Cele- brated by the Caledonian Club. “Jean! Fil be mair thocht o’ a hunner year after this.’ A hundred years have come and gone, and there is no man of his race more warmly thought of than Robert Burns,” remarked Rev. Thomas C. Eastan, D. D., during his address last evening at the memorial exercises of the Caledonian Club of this city, in honor of the Scotch poet. The centennial commemoration of the death of Burns took place in Sheldon’s Hall, and every feature was distinctively Scotch. There were Scotch music, Scotch songs, Scotch dances and the flowers of Scotland very much in evidence, and those who attended enjoyed a hearty Scotch even- ing as the guests of the hospitable Cale- donian Club. It rained hard and the heat was intense, but nevertheless the hall was crowded when the chief of the club, Mr. William A. Tay- lor, shortly atter 8 o’clock rapped for order and in the name of the organization ex- tended a formal welcome to the guests. The first diey of popular Scotch The Campbells are Coming,” “Annie Lau. i ‘Coming Thro’ the Rye,” “Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot,” and several cthers, by Professor Anderson's orchest Next Misses McKericher and Yerkes gave a piano duet that was thorou; May Wilding, a tiny miss, clad in a fetch- ing Highland costume, earned a continue? round of jause by the artistic execution of a “te after which the address of the evening was deliverea by Rev. on.

To mus‘e by the orchestra refreshments in bountiful profusion were served to all by members of the club. All in all the. affair was thoroughly enjovabie, a complete suc- cess and a worthy tribute to the memory of the great poet. The arrangement of the exercises was in the hands of a committee consisting of William Jardine, chairman; Joha Robertson and John Smith. >- Music at the Capitol Grounds, The Marine Band will render the follow- ing pregram of music at its concert at the apitol grounds this evening, beginning at 3:50 o'clock: March—“Golden Rod"’ Overture—"Cleupaira” number of the program was a air including sang “") -Bose Mancinelli Fantasie for the flute on the opera “Somnambul: Terschak Grand lection from ‘Traviata’ apitan” .

As announced in The Star yesterday, the National Fencibles were last evening mus- tered into the District of Columbia Nation- al Guard. Gen. Albert Ordway met the company at its quarters, 913 E street, and administered the oath to thirty-cight men. In introducing the general, Capt. Domer stated that he had given his assurance that the company would live up to all that would be required of it as a National Guart crganization, relegating everything of a personal or Social nature to secondary con- sideration.

Wynne and J. > A Military Instructor W The Commissioners today wrote the fol- lowing letter to the S ary of War upon the subject of detailing a military instruc- tor at the Boys’ Reform School: “The United States Reform School for Boys is an institution situated on the Bladensburg pike a short distance north- east of the city of Washington. A large number of boys are supported and in- structed there, and perform work which is productive of revenue, which is turned into the United States treasury. “Informal application has been made to the Commissioners by the superintendent, Col. Geo. A. Shallenderger, for their good offices in procuring during the school ses- sion, which will begin early next fal) a mil- itary instructor to impart to the boys mili- tary training. The Commissioners deem this a laudable purpose, as these boys, when they shall have served their terms at the school, will become a part of the popu- lation of the District, and the training re- ceived will fit them to become members of the District militia. But they have no funds at their command wherewith to pay such a military instructor. They have thought that, in view of the fact that the school is a United States institution, and of the further fact that the training sought to be attained will be of use to the United States, it might be possible for a detail to be made from one ot the military posts near Washington of a competent instructor, who might twice aweek go to the Reform School and supervise the drill of the pupils. The Commissioners will be greatly obliged: to you if you give this matter your consid- eration.” Fyies —— The Democrats’ Trip to New York. Mr. James 8. McCarthy, chairman of the committee to arange for the excursion to New York of the Interstate Democratic Association on the date of the notifica- tion of Bryan and Sewall, says the state- ment that a rate of $4.50 had been se- cured by the association is erroneous. No rate has yet been fixed, but the association is hopeful of securing a very low one for the occasion. —-___ Mr. Mii Sudden Death. Mr. Francis E.

Calvin Chase of this city, editor of the Bee, has written letters both to Mr. McKinley and to Mr. Bry: In the letter to the former he say! “There is a question that is more im- Dortant, to a certain class of your fellow citizens, than gold or silver; a question in which the personal lberty, the political and legal rights of the people are involved. While your platform. declares against lynch law, we have yet to see the executive of any party enforce the amendments to our Consutution, which guarantee equal rights to all classes of citizens irrespective of cclor or condition.” Further, Mr. Chase propounds this ques- tion: “Should the party succeed in electing you, or the American people decide that you are the choice efor President of the United States, what part will Afro-Ameri- cars play in the councils of your adminis- tration, or what consideration will they re- ceive?” In conclusion, Mr. Chase expresses the hope that the dignity of Mr. McKin- ley’s position will not preclude a reply. In his letter to Mr. Bryan, Mr. Chase al- ludes to the class of citizens known as Afro-Americans, and makes the statement that this class has been oppressed by the democratic party. ‘And in that party they have not been welcomed, except the inno- vation made by President Cleveland, wha must be given credit for the courage of his conviction and the interest he has taken in certain representative Afro-Americans in this country. In the democratic or free silver platform nothing is said in behalf of Afro-Americans, nor did your par deem them of suflicient importance to elect one a delegate to your convention. There , in certain sections of this country, a _igw not upon the statute books, but an unwritten iaw, known as lynch law.
