A Thirty-Year Period for Capt. Price f the Southern. Capt. Mark L. Price, conductor of one of the express trains running between Wash- ington and Leesburg on the Southern rail- way, has just completed thirty years of service as a conductor on that line. Capt. Price {s one ef the veterans in railway life and in point of service on one line has but few peers in the United States. He was during the war a member of the 17th Vir- ginia Regiment, Pickett's Division, Confed- erate Army. He left his home in Alexan- dria April 1861, and did not again visit it until the day following the assassination of President Lincein. Just before the close of the struggle he Was promoted to be an officer in the con- federate navy, but before his commission could be issued from Richmond Lee sur- rendered and, of course, this put an end to all movements of a military or naval character on the part of the southern au- thorities. For a few months succeeding the close of the war Capt. Price was a steamboat en- gineer on the Potomac river, and this he left _to accept the position which he has ever since occupied. Capt. Price has fre- quently during the absence of superior of- ficers of the road performed their duties, but he steadily declined to accept a perma- nent transfer from the position he has filled so long and so faithfully. — Killing Birds Out of Season. Te the Bditer of The Evening Star: Seeing “Fair Play's” article, entitled “En- force the Game Law,” I am constrained to think that he “strains at a gnat and swallows a camel.” He says that a little activity on the part of the police would Prevent pot hunters from breaking the law with impunity. True. But if these same police would take a stroll through the Center market they could see duck and plover exposed for sale openly. Unlawful birds in a person's possession makes them Mable to prosecution, no matter where Killed. The fine on the above game is $5 per bird, and the season is open for them September 1. The writer has seen on the benches of a certain dealer over fifty woodcock in April— birds killed off their nests and brought here and sold by countrymen for a song. At any time during the past summer quail could (and can now) be bought by “the right parties” from dealers, and if “Fair Play” 1s a sportsman he knows which game should be protected, native birds or migratory. A cold snap may drive away all the ortolan and reed birds. They will come again, but how about the game birds slaughtered out of season? SPORTSMAN. ——-—-—_—_ Major Cranford’s Will.

PRINCESS JOHANNA Miss Quill Does Not Let Trouble Choke Her Ambition. SHE OUTLINES A PLAN 70 FLYNN How She and Becky Smith Found Their Way to Court. THE RESULT OF ONE DRINK a “Me and Becky got run in last night for nothing in God's wide world,” said Johanna Quill this morning, as she looked from be- hind the bars and spoke to Policeman Flynn. “Well, Johanna,” said the big policeman, “are you and George married yet?” “Married yet?” yelled back the little wo- man, “of course I'm not married. Gcorge is too slow for me, but there are some Swampoodle boys who want me. But I'll tell you, Mr. Flynn, when I get married my husband will be one of the nobility from across the ocean, and he'll have to have money, too. Then when you see my name in the paper it won't be plain Jo- hanna Quill, but it will be Princess Jo- hanna or Countess Somebody.” “But how do you expect to get a wealthy man from across the ocean?” “The same as other American ladies,” answered Johanna, “except that instead of buying a husband I'll make one of them fellers buy a wife. You see, Mr. Flynn, I have the good looks and winning ways, and all that’s necessary to win one of them fellers, and all I want now 1s the feller.” “What made the police arrest you?” “That smart Precinct Detestive Hartigan arrested me because a man made com- Plaint against me,” she answered. “The man came near knocking me down, and be- cause I was going to get a warrant he had me arrested. Why, Mr. Flynn, I was walk- ing along the street wh-n the long-legged detective came on his bicycle with a false laugh and was escorting me along the street when he said U was under arrest. Her Deepest Woe. “I had a half-pint bottle in my pocket,” she added, “and the long-legged fly cop even fooled me out of a drink, the mean old man. I didn’t mind getting arrested, but I did want one drink to revive my spirits.” Then Johanna interceded in Rebecca's behalf, but subsequent developments show- ed that she was able to fight her own bat- tle, for when she got in court she did more talking than would ordinarily be allowed in a murder case. “I'm not a vagrant,” she sald, indignant- ly, when arraigned, “and I don’t under- stand how it js that I can’t stay out loug enough to even soil my clothes.” ; Lifting her dress, she displayed her white underskirt and called attention to the fact that the skirt had been done up-on the farm. “This is Becky Smith,” said Policeman McCort. “And she the court. “I think she’s been out only two or three 33 * resumed the policeman, but Clerk Washburn gave the information that she was released yesterday on her good con- duct. needs no introduction,” said One Glass of Beer. “That's right, your honor,” said Becky. “I was released yesterday and got arrested again for nothing. While on the farm I wes sick, and when I got out and called on a friend, she asked me to have a glass of beer.”* “And of courSe you had it?” queried the court. “Well, judge, I told her I didn’t care for anything,” the woman said, “but my friend said I looked weak, and so I took a drink to strengthen me. Judge, I was real weak, and the beer did me good, but I don’t know what was put in it, because I got bewil- dered and didn’t know what had happened until I found myself on an iron bench.” ‘She was full, all right,” said the officer, “and was dancing and holding up her skirt on the street.” “Now, judge,” sald Becky, “you know that ain’t 40, for I never did’such a thing in my life.” Following this, Becky complained that she had been turned out of the workhouse barefooted, but Mr. Sylvester gave her an order for a pair of shoes. “And now, judge, I want to say, in the name of Lord, please don’t send me back to that place,” she pleaded. “I'm afraid I can’t grant your request this time,” the judge told her. “Thirty days.” Johanna in Luck. When Johanna Quill’'s case was called John Collins, who had caused her arrest, did not respond to prosecute the case. Pre- cinct Detective Hartigan was in court, but he was not specially proud because Jo- hanna had said she loved him next to the bottle. Mr. Collins had made complaint that Jo- hanna had gathered a bunch of flowers from his yard, but, because of his failure to respond, the case was dismissed for want of prosecution. “And now I want my bottle,” she said on her way out. “The detective took it from me yesterday, but I'll have a good time today, if I have to come back tomorrow.” Johanna was referred to Lieut. Kelly for her bottle, and she went off in the direction of the station. An Unsuccessfal Alt “Christopher Jones,” called the clerk, and Branch P. Wright responded. “This man's name is Wright, been here a thousand times,” told the court. The charge against vagran complaint. “He was up on 14th street yesterday,” said the officer, ‘very much under the in- fluence of liquor, and he was begging.” Branch, who had been released for good conduct only a few days ago, begged the court to release him. i e been working at Falls Church on a newspaper since April. and yesterday was only the second time I had been drunk this summer.” Several policemen in court knew Wright, and the judge thought three months on the farm would do him no harm. Eli's Free Ride. “I ain't no ‘’spicious person,” said Eli Crawford, a colored man who had been ar- rested for stealing a ride in Thomas Ken- ny’s buggy yesterday. “The man was in liquor, your honor,” said Mr. Kenny, “and he drove about the streets in my buggy, but I don’t think he had any idea of stealing the outfit.” “Then you think he only wanted a ride?” queried the court. “That's all,” Mr. Kenny answered, “for he drove up and down the street in front of my stable.” “And what's the charge against the pris- oner?” the court wanted to know. “Vagrancy and suspicion,” Policeman Bell answered. “What do you know about the case?” the officer was asked. “Nothing about this case,” he answered, “put the prisoner was here only a few days ago and was released on his personal bonds.” “Judge, your honor,” said the prisoner, “I’m a workingman, and have aged par- ents to support.” “Then why do you keep up this drunken- ness and interfere with other people's prop- ert; ‘I happened to be drinking a little yester- day, and I got in the buggy, but didn’t have any idea of stealing the horse.” “Perhaps that is true,” the court re- marked, “but you will have to go down for two weeks.” Star Light Socials. Harry Brooks and William Jackson, mem- bers of the “Star Light Socials,” were in court on complaint of Policeman Evans for alleged disorderly conduct in Logan place last night. There was a general complaint made against the Logan place disorderly crowds, and the officer charged that these defendants were in such a crowd last night. “We were not disorderly on the street last night,” sald Jackson. ‘We were only thore waiting for some more club members to come.” and he’s the clerk the prisoner was and Policeman Barbee made the “Were you singing or using had lan- 2" the cor wanted to know. “No, sir; there are some disorderly crowds there and we get blamed for the trouble.”” “It's evident that there are some disor- Gerly crowds there,” said the court, after pearing Brooks’ explanation, “but, Mr. fficer, I think you igot the wrong men. “They will all say that, your honor,” vol- unteered the officer. “That may be true,” cencluded the court, “but these men are discharged.” Disorder on Aqueduct Bridge. Policeman Gus Brown of Georgetown is one of the oldest and biggest-hearted men on the force. He had a colored man named Charles Brown in the procession on a charge of disorderly, and he exhibited a pistol that he had taken from him. “Brown was drunk yesterday,” he said, “and was on the Aqueduct bridge, using language that I would not want to repeat anywhere. He called me by various un- complimentary names, and then I found this pistol on him.” “Did you charge him with concealed weapons?” inquired the court. “No, sir,” he answered; ‘the pistol wasn't loaded, but he had the cartridges in his pocket. I thought this charge was bad enough.” “Mr. Clerk,” said Judge Scott, “enter up a fine of $5.” Policeman Reith informed against Harry Williams and Edward Richardson for al- leged disorderly conduct, but the defend- ants denied the charge and wefe released. A Promise to Behave. “I arrested Philip Jenifer last night for disorderly conduct,” Policeman Vermillion told the court, “but he’s a good man, gen- erally, and has a large family, and I hope yeu will take his personal bonds. = “Enter into your personal recognizance: said the court, “to behave yourself in the future.” An old man whose name was given as George Krenwald pleaded guilty to a charge of vagrancy, and was sent down for sixty days. Wanted to Go Down. “I'm guilty, too,” answered Frank Schnet- zer, ‘an able-bodied man. “I've got no home, no money, nor friends.”” “And you want to go down “Yes, sir.” “Three months.” Edward Pelger and Louis Nelson, boys who are tramping, were in court for de- facing one of the tablets in the Washing- ton monument. Special Officer Stromberger, who arrested them, recommended them to the mercy of the court, and they were released on their personal honds. With the grand tournament, ball and dis- play of fireworks tonight, a most successful entertainment at Marshall Hall will be brcught to a close. The tilting by the knights of southern Maryland and Virginia began today at noon, followed by sports and festivities of all kinds. The main feature, however, is the grand ball. Im- mediately after the arrival of the Macales- ter, which leaves the city at 6:30 p.m., the coronation address will be delivered, fol- lowed by the crowning of the queens, af- ter which the dancing will be commenceg in both pavilions. The last steamer leaves Marshall Hall at 11 o'clock. At River View tonight Professor Rey- nolds will make his evening balloon as- cension. The balloon will be lighted with vari-colored lanterns, and in the moonlight will present a weird appearance. While in mid-air the aeronaut will give a pyrotech- nic display, and finally drop earthward with his parachute. If he drifts over the river he proposes to make a daring dive downward of one hundred feet. Next Tuesday Capt. E. S. Randall pro- Poses to repeat the successful excursion given on the Pentz yesterday to Chapel Point. At this resort, sixty miles down the Potomac, salt water bathing, crabbing and fishing are some of the attractions with which to while the hours pleasantly away. The round trip of 120 miles costs but 25 cents. A very enjoyable manner of beginning one’s vacation, especially for those who contemplate going north or south in the vicinity of the seaboard, is to take a water trip to Fortress Monroe, Virginia Beach or Ocean View, and from’ Norfolk continue on their journey. The sail down the Po- tomac and Chesapeake bay is a delightful outing in ‘tself, while a day or so spent at the famous’ resorts in the immediate vicinity of Norfolk is a most pleasurable experience. The Norfolk and Washington steamers afford rapid, safe and luxurious means of communication with these places, and at Norfolk connections are easily made with steamers for the sea voyage to New York and Boston, and with railroads for the north, south ‘and west. Those whose time will permit only of their spending Sunday away from the city may take the Saturday evening steamer, arriving at For- tress Monroe, Virginia Beach and Ocean View Sunday morning, where the day may be spent, returning by steamer the same evening ‘and reaching this city Monday morning in good season for breakfar:. Steamers leave Norfolk and Washington every evening in the year at 7 o'clock. The Sisters of Charity and the children from the St. Joseph Orphan Asylum to the number of 200 or more were the guests of Capt. E. S. Randall at River View to- day. Captain Randall regularly every sum- mer gives the children several outings, which are always greatly enjoyed. Today the children shot the chute and played on the grass and under the trees to their hearts’ content, and are expected to return home on the 6 o'clock boat. ae AMUSEMENTS, The Bijou.—Next Saturday evening Man- ager Robert M. Whitesell will throw open the doors of the Bijou Family Theater and invite the Washington public to inspect the many improvements he has made with a view to restoring the cozy little house to its former degree of popularity. It is safe to say that the oldest habitue of the theater will be surprised at the change, for Mr. Whitesell has spared neither money nor pains to make the Bijou one of the bright- est, cheerlest and coziest little theaters in town. The lobby, with its new metal ceil- ing and tiled floor, will serve as a fitting preliminary to the pretty interior, which has been entirely painted and redecorated in light, cheerful colors, which numerous electric lights will show off to the best ad- vantage. Furthermore, realizing that the theater alone cannot draw continued pa- tronage, Manager Whitesell has secured as his opening attraction the popular Irish comedian, Daniel Suliy, who will present his successful play, “The Millionaire,” for an engagement of seven nights and six matinees. Both play and player were seen at the Academy a couple of seasons ago, and this will be their first engagement at popular prices. There will be matinees every day after Monday, on which occasion the management will present a beautiful rose to every lady in the audience. The box opens tomorrow for advance sale of seats. The Lyceum.—Commencing Monday even- ing next the Howard Big Burlesque Com- pany will open a week's engagement at the Lyceum Theater, appearing in two new and original burlesque extravaganzas, entitled “The Twill-be Club” and “Robin Hood Junior.” In the olio the following vaude- ville celebrities will be seen: Josie Gregory, queen of burlesque; Teslie and Tenicy, Irish comedians; Flossie St. Clair, singing soubrette; Mullaney and Lincoln, comedy sketch duo; Waite Sisters, terpsichorean queens, and Mae Sahe, pleasing balladist, besides others of equal merit. All scenic and mechanical effects are carried by the company. ——— Indianapolis and Return via Chesa- peake and Ohio Ry.

LOCAL LAROR AFFAIRS The Beer Boycott Proves a Stubborn Problem. | MEETING OF FEDERATION OF LABOR Shoe Clerks’ Early, Closing Movement Checked. HODCARRIERS’ GRIEVANCE The usual weekly meeting of the Federa- tion of Labor was held last evening. Presi- dent James F. McHugh was in the chair, and Mr. C. A. Maidens served as secretary. ‘There was a full attendance of representa- tives from the bodies affillated with the organization. The subject of the efforts of the Shoe Clerks’ Assembly to secure early closing received attention. Most of the shoe stores in Washington, except those on Pennsylvania avenue, close at 6 o'clock, and those on that street are only waiting for one firm to agree to the proposition to close at the same hour. ‘The matter of the beer boycott came up before the Federation on a report from the committee having charge of the subject, and & was stated that there had been every reason to believe that a favorable report could have been made at that time, and the boycott, which has been in existence for about elght months, lifted, but that just as it was thought every difficulty was smoothed away the discovery was made that the agreement submitted by the brew- ers did not provide for giving members of the K. of L. assemblies equal rights with the members of the organizations affiliated with the Central Labor Union in employ- ment on work now being done by the brew- ers. As Mr. Tobriner of counsel for the brewers, who drew up the paper, is out of the city, it was deemed best to defer further action on the subject until his return. It is understood to be the opinion of leading members of the Federation that as soon as Mr. Tobriner gets back to his office the amended agreement will be accepted by the brewers. Labor Day Excursions, The committee having charge of the cele- bration of Labor day reported that all ar- rangements for that event had been com- pleted, and that boats would be run both to Marshall Hall and River View, Carpen- ters’ Assembly having an excursion to the latter place and most of the other members of the Federation intending to go to Mar- shall Hall. The committee further stated that thi were confident that both excur- sions wo-ld be very successful. The repcrt of the legislative committee that they had been the means of securing the conviction of Contractor Winfree for violation of the eight-hour law was greeted with loud applause; also the announce- ment that the District Commissioners had refused Mr. Winfree’s request for an ex- tension of time in which to complete the school building. The committee were ten- dered a vote of thanks for their services, and were also requested to inquire into the truth of an allegation that the eight-hour law was being vialated by the contractor who is wiring the Capitol. Aiding Unemployed Printers. A committge rapresenting Columbia Ty- pographical Union that called for the pur- pose of asking the Federation to purchase some tickets for an excursion to be given by the union for the benefit of unemployed printers were invited to seats on the floor, and the Federation purchased fifty tickets, which were turned over to Man- ager C. A. Maidens of the bureau of la- bor for distribution to such unemployed men as he may deem most worthy of them. ¢ A communication was read from Rev. Geo. Q. Bacchus, pastor of a Methodist Protestant Chureb, Inviting the members of the Federation to attend a service to be held in his church on September 13, at which time Mr, Bacchus'expects to preach a sermen on “Labor.” The chair urged the members of the Federation to accept the invitation in their individual capacity, and it was understood they would do this instead of attending in a body. Message From Single Tayers. The following letter was read from Mr. Samuel Miliiken of Wilmington, Del.,which was written in reply to one from Secretary Maidenz conveying resolutions of sym- pathy for the imprisoned single taxers: “WILMINGTON, Del., August 20, 1896, “Federation of Labor: The great number of letters of cordial sympathy received by the single tax men confined in the Dover jail makes it impossible to answer them Seperately. At present, at least, their friends will be content with the assurance of all the jail birds, “depraved and irr sponsible vagabond: that the sympathy of fricnds throughout the country has lightened their imprisonment. SAMUEL MITLIKE? ‘Secretary of Committee. Building Trades Council. Eleven of the building trades were repre- sented at the meeting of the Building ‘Trades Council last night at Electrical Workers’ Hall, 508 11th street northwest. tesident William Silver presided, with J. M. Boyce as secretary. The hodcarriers reported that a committee of the union had ascertained that non-ufiion hodcarriers were employed upon the construction of the Consumers’ Brewery at Rosslyn, V: and requested that the matter be conside ed by the council. ‘The matter was refer- red to a committee composed of R. N. Murry, William Maghar, J. P. Healey and Samuel Preston, which will act with a committee of the Central Labor Union ap- pointed at the last meeting of that bod The joint committee will confer with the foreman of the work and the directors on next Thursday relative to the matter. The committee appointed at a previous Meeting to ascertain the number of sa- loon keepers who have signed the agree- ment to discriminate against the prodact of the National Capital and Heurich’s brewerles, which have been submitted by the agitation committee cf D. A. 66 and the local Federation, reported that they had learned that a comparatively smail number had signed the agreement and that these did not regard it, under the cir- cumstances, as binding. Several incidents Were stated by members of the committee where after the retail dealers had been in- formed relative to the boycott and the Position in the matter assumed by the Central Labor Union, that they discontin- ued the sale of the Hamilton product, and in the future will patronize the home brewerles exclusively. Bricklayers’ Trouble Settled. The delegates from the bricklayers re- ported that the trowble which has existed for several weeks Abetween the Central Labor Union and‘the management of the Columbia and Baltimore electric railway regarding the objectionable conditions un- der which the mechanics and laborers were worked on the construction of the power house at Lakeland Md., had been satisfac- torily settled. It was reported that yester- day President Maghan of the local brick- layers’ union and President Ringrose of the Baltimore union called upon the direc- tors of the road, who stated that the con- SARA A EAS BS SRD LAA NARS F ROYAL : BAKING POWDER.

Maghan and Ringrose that the contractor would be held strictly to this agreement, and that the non-union men now employed would be discharged and union men only would be employed. The Council on Labor Day. It was decided that the council should be repres2nted in the Labor day parade by the officers of the body, and suitable badges were ordered to be worn to designate the officers on that occasion. The bricklayers reported that Robinson, Chery & Co., who are furnishing the suits to be worn by the members of that union on Labor day, will continue during the Present week to take measurements; also that all the suits finished will be distrib- a next Monday evening at Bricklayers’ fall. The Carpenters. At the meeting last night of Amalga- mated Society of Carpenters, held at Cos- tello's Hall, 6th and G streets northwest, final arrangements were made for the Labor day parade. A chief marshal was elected, and the committee of arrange- ments was instructed to confer with Prof. Weber of the Columbia Musical League with reference to music. By a unanimous vote it was decided that a fine of $5 should be imposed upon any member who, with- out a valid excuse, does not parade on Labor day. An Iron-Clad Agreement. Referring to the contract which the brewers have submitted to the local Fed- eration of Labor and D. A. 66, Knights of Labor, as one they are willing to sign provided the long-pending boycott against the brewers is lifted, a prominent member of the American Federation of Labor eaid today that if this arrangement is carried into effect it would, in his opinion, be al- most impossible for a conflict to be avold- ed between the brewers and the Building Trades Council, The latter organization has an iron-clad contract with all the brewers, excepting Mr. Harry Williams, which provides that “in consideration of the organizations represented in the Build- ing Trades Council, pledging their sup- port and assistance to the brewers, the latter agree and pledge their faith to em- ploy none but union labor recognized as such by the Building Trades Council on all their work in the District of Columbia in the lines of business sought to be pro- tected and assisted by the said council, whether such work be in the construction, pair or remodeling of buildings owned either by the brewers as concerns or indi- viduals. “It Is also expressly agreed and under- stood, however, that if any local union, whether it be a member of the Building Trades Council or not, refuses to enter into a similar agreement to the one with the Building Trades Council, and relating to its particular trade or craft, then the employment by said concerns or the said individuals, or either of them, of any per- son or persons not members of the said non-ratifying or refusing union shall not be the basis or form an excuse for the call- irg off of the hands of the unions which have ratified and accepted the Building Trades Council contract, or for any strike or boycott on its or their part against the employing concerns or individuals, or either of them.” A similar agreement has been entered into between the brewers and every or- ganization affiliated with the Building Trades Council. ee To G.
