ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS: Politioal Meetings Held tho City Last i Right, Large Crowd at the Prohibition Gathering—Corporation Court and Other Local Notes of Interest. Political meetings were the order of the day in Alexandria last night, and in two places interesting addresses were listened to by large audiences, the largest, however, being’ in the new Opera House, where Joshua Levering of Baltimore, ‘the candi- Gate for President on the prohibition ticket, was announced to speak. The Opera House was taxed to its capacity to seat the large crowd, about half of wnom were ladies, who liberally applauded the speaker. The meeting was opened by. singing that popular gospel hymn, ‘Throw Out the Life sine,” after which Rev. S. J. McDougle in- voked the aid of God on the meeiing and the efforts of the prohibition party. Mr. S. Greenaway, who presided over the meet- ing, introduced Mr. Levering. -is he arose to speak Mr. Levering was received with rounds of applause, and it was some m.n- utes before he could get the audience quiet enough to go ahead. He said, among other thing: it was not the idea of prohibi- tion to deprive any one of their personal rights and liberties. Nothing was new in the prohibition party; they are working on the same old lines. The money spent in loons is taken from the comfor cessities of home. ‘The salvon, “is a gigantic nuisance, and-t temper- ance people only ask that the people at large be relieved from that nuisance. “Whisky is killing more people every yeur than were killed in the civil war,” he said. “The whisky trust owns the saloon- keepers.” Mr. Levering praised Theodore Roose- velt. of New York for compelling 8,000 saloon keepers to obey the law in People should not blame the but should vote for people who would proper ones. “A good many Chris tians,”” he sald, “will pray for the suc of prohibition rty, Lut will cast their ballot another w. The meeting s closed by singing the hymn, “My untry, Tis of Thee,” the entire audience joining tn. The Bryz Sewall and Rixey Meeting The Bryan, Sewall and Rixey meeting, which was being held just acr the street in Sarepta Hall, lost none of its enthu- siasm on account of the prohibition meet- ing, and a poll of the house would hardly have secured a single vote for the anti- liquor standard. x-Mayor Strauss presiding, introduced Mr. Wm. F. Carne, sr., a member of the Baltimore Sun staff of correspondents, who was the first speaker of the evening. Mr. Carne spoke at length on the tariff ques- tion, reviewing its history for years back. He then took up the money question and c ed it ably. He compared Bryan with Jefferson, and declared that the sane states which had been against Jeffersom4 and Jackson were now against bryan.

Some of the most popular lyries of the day owe their existence largeiy to the unction with which May Irwin sang’ them, ard she has new ones, which call for as many encores.as the endurance of the’ sdngstress will allow. It is satd that every actress, no matter how humble her sphere, hopes to play “Juliet” some day. Possibly it is this yearniag for the Jaurels of love-sickness which prompts Miss Irwin to give the exhibition of osculation which has caused some comment. She is aided end abetted in the scene by John Rice. There are few performances which are isfying throughout to all shades of. pre! erence, and The Widow Jones, with its lavishness-of fun and catchy music,.can be depended on to entertain, if it docs not always edify. Grand "Opera House.—H. -Gratton Don- nelly’s farce, “A Pair of Jacks,” proved a fitting successor to “Laughing Gas” at the Grond last night, and attracted a large number of people, who laughed at the new jokes and applauded the different special- ties most liberally. The play deals with the troubles of Judge and Dr. Jack, who are continually taken for each* other by reason of their ‘elose resemblance, while love stories, néw and good jokes and a humber of speciolty artists who are above the ordi- nary fill out the plot and the expectations raised by the program. The different peo- ple who present the play are rather better then the average. Charles Udell and George Ricketts as the two Jacks are good, and made as much as possible out of the! chances for fun and humor. Miss Jessie West, in song and dances, pleased a ma- jority of her hearers, and Sol Aikin, with his topical songs and clever sayings, made a distinct hit. Dave Andrada has the part of the nephew and Alf Pearce that of the theosophical student, and both are clever. Miss Julla Aikin, as the lady who ts all for business; Miss Nellie Blanchard and Miss Nora Stanley, as the husband-seekers, and Miss Marion Gray, in a soubrette part, are all up to the standard set by the rest of the cast. Encores were frequent, especially on the specialties, and the whole perform- ance has a distinct go from start to finish. “A Pair of Jacks” will continue as the at- traction at the Grand all this week, with the usual matinees. New National Theater.—‘A Temperance Town” comes from the pen of Charles Hoyt, whose efforts have contributed 80 much that is genuinely funny to the stage. In’ this piece, which is not unfamiliar to Washington, he attempts pathos and-seeks to point a moral. As a moralist Mr. Hoyt is a dismal failure, and the survival of this piece must be considered due to the man- ner in which the laughter obscures the in- ferences which would naturally come from the characters and stories which he has evolved. An excellent judge of what is humereus,tbe author has culled with a sweeping yet discriminating hand from the Wit and humor:ef the present, and the re-~ sult is that no two end-men on the minstrel ‘stage ever bandied repartee with more ef- fect than that attained by Hoyt’s charac- ters. That natural humorist, Eugene Can- field, and that excellent character come- dicen, George Richards, are eminently suc- cessful in their efforts to amuse. Academy of. Musie.—William. Berry's play, “The Rising Generation,” 1s a veritable IHt- tle Jewel among Irish comedies, an emerald, so to speak. It is an old friend, but a good one, and its popularity has increased since jast year. There is an utter absence of the acrol ¢ element 50 common to the purely humorous productions of the stage in these days, and, although ihe scenes are strung upon a slender thread, there ts yet enough motive and Jegitimate action to the little play to take it from the realm of fame and entitle it.to the name of comed, fy" personation of Martin Mc an bit of character work, without broad eration.

Judge Durham in the Toils, but Re- leased on His Personal Bonds —Other Cases. Rosa Craig is agcolored woman about twenty-two years old, and although so young, she has a long police and court record. After serving forty-five days on the farm she was released yesterday after- noon, having had her term shortened be- cause of her good behavior. Rosa celebrated her liberty by getting gloriously drunk, and last night she man- aged to get in the hands of the police again. “Step up lively, Rosa,” said Bi dig. “Drunk again, I suppose?” But the prisoner took her seat without making any response. “I ain't guilty,” she answered when the clerk arraigned her on a charge of dis- orderly conduct. “Last night, your honor,” said Policeman Herton, “I was sent for to take this wo- man out of a house where she was creating a disturbance. When I went in the room she threw a poker at me, and then a stove lid. Then she crawled under her bed and kicked up her heels.” “I wasn’t in the house at all,” said Rova. “I went down there to get a belt from a woman, and when I knocked at the door I told Liza what I wanted. In- stead of letting me in she tried to hit me with a stick.” The officer said he had made no mistake and Rosa was fined $5 or fifteen days. Judge Durham. ‘lif! Ken- George Durham, a cripple, who is also & victim of strong drink, was in court on a charge of disorderly, and Lawyer Barber entered a plea for him. “Do you remember what happened last night?” his counsel asked him. “I do not,” was his response. “He was very drunk,” said Policeman “and when I saw him seated on F street I sent for the wagon intending to lock him up to get sober. But his lan- guage was so bad that I concluded to enter a charge against him.” “What was his conduct?” the court asked. “He was very profane.” Durham, who is familiarly known as Judge Durham, is a Kentuckian, and he said he had been in court once before. At that time, the judge told him, he made promises which he had not fulfilled, and now the defendant said he would repeat the promise and vould endeavo I drink whisky and quinine, ‘and sometimes I take tou much. ‘The best thing you can do is to omit the whisky,” the judge said. “And the quinine, too,” the defendant said, “for it affects me worse than whisky.” Judge Kimball said he did not want to ‘send Durham down. He referred to the prominent position which he had held in his native state, and said it was a shame that so bright a man should so debase him- if pecause of his appetite for Nquor. “If he will promise to keep sober,” said the policeman, “I hope your honor will take his personal bonds.” “He has a position with one of the com- mittees,” said his counsel, “and if sent down he will lose his situation and be thrown out of employment again.” Finally the judge disposed of the case by taking Durham's personal bonds A young man named William Martin wa in a 7th street pool room last night when Policeman Auldridge called I heard him use bad !a! officer, “and arrested him. “There was a big crowd in the room at the tim said the defendant, “and I don’t see how he could single me out of all who wefe there.” I've known this young for some time,” the officer said, “‘and I know he used the language, but as he is a hard-working boy I hope your honor will let him go.” His personal bonds were taken. Other Cases. Allan Williams, colored, was short of cash when he appeared in the toils, and not having any friends in court he stepped back. “I plead guilty to asking for a place to sleep,” answered John Quinn, who was charged with vagrancy. Where are you from?” ew York city.” How did you get here?” “Paid my fare as far as Baltimore, and tren walked over here. “You don’t look like an ordinary tramp,” the judge said. “And I’m not,” added the defendant. The judge told him there was no reason why he should beg about the streets, as he could go to the Central Union Mission or the lodging house and get bed and board by doing a little work. He was then re- leased. suage,” said the played by well-known performers, and the scenery good. Dot Kerrell was the bad boy,.and he got all the fun out of the char- acter that there was In it. © ‘Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—This genera- tion, wil] never tire of any play that de- picts life in thé south before the war. It remained for Harry Martell to present such a play, and it has been successful for several years, It is simply a perform- ance made up of scenes and incidents in the old south, before the war get the negzc free, and left- only a memory of thosé happy times in the “quarters.” ‘The return of the runaway slave, a character assumed by Frank A. Howard, was as true a piece ef character acting a8 was ever seen at Kernan’s. Then there was Aunt Chloe characterized by the irrepressible Billy Williams, who has been a favorite many years. Frank H. White is also in the cast, and his abilities as a comedian are well known. ‘he opening performance, last night, was marked by a crowd that simply filled every foot of space in the theater and the galleries were irrepressible. A number of first-class specialties were in- troduced, but none of them were more ap- preciated than the several quartets that sang old-time melodies. “Canip Meeting at Frog Island” was funnier than ever be- fore, and Ferry, the human frog, kept the audience in roars of laughter by his antics. An old-fashioned cake walk closed the per- formance. ——-— “A Gathering of the Blind. A pathetic, but somewhat curious, if not Groll, incident happened yesterday at the drug store corner of th street and Penn- sylvania avenue. A poor-appearing old negress, blind and led by a colored boy, en- tered the store by the avenue front door, looking for alms. She had no sooner put cut her hand than in came a bald-headed blind old negro, hatin hand, led, too, by a boy, on like mission with the negress. His hat’ was extended as a reeeiver for any of- ferings, and the two couples, in their ap- pealing attitudes, faced @ach other a few paces apart until the store:clerks and others dcled into their possession some of Uncle Sam's smaller coinage. F While sympathy was shown for the poor solicitors, yet it seemed impossible for the store patrons, the proprietor and clerks to refrain from indulging i@ subdued smiles at the oddity of the simultaneous appear- ance of these blind people. At the same time that they were in the store, on the outside, leaning against the wall near one of the windows fasing the’ avenue, a poor fellow stood with.a pouchipartly filled with lead pencils, and onphis breast hung a piece of oilcloth bearing the legend, “I am blind; help me.

NORTHEAST CITIZENS Old Officers Re-Elected and Some Business : Transacted, : The Question of Steam Railroad Oc- cupation Comes Up—Street Sched- ules and Other Matters. In anticipation of a big crowd at the annual meeting of the Northeast Wash- ington Citizens’ Association,held last night, an extra number of chairs were provided, but they were not found necessary, as the attendance was no larger than usual. The officers of the association are always elect- ed at the annual meeting, and some of the members thought there might be a repetition of last year’s exciting scenes when the election of president was under consideration. But at last night's meeting the attendance was small and the election passed off quietly, resulting in the re-elec- tion of the present officers, as follows: President, Evan H. Tucker; vice presid J.B.Burke; secretary, 5. Sowerbutts; finan- cial secretary, J. R. Colvin; treasurer, A. H. F. Holsten; members of executive com- mittee, W. J. Frizzell, N. L. King, H. H. Martin, J. B. Algate and E. Dalrymple. When President Tucker called for the re- ports of committees Chairman Algate of the committee on parks and public spaces said he had no report to make, but he would say that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company's derrick still stands cn reservation No. 201, at Delaware avenue and H street north2ast. President Tucker said that the railroad company had been granted an extension of time in which to remove the obst tions from this reservation. This, he said, was done in response to a letter written by Mr. George E. Hamilton, counsel for the railroad, asking for an indefinite exten- sion. The request for an indefinite post- ponement was not granted, he said, but a month's postponement was granted. It was unfortunate that Secretary Hoke Smith resigned when he did, for he had acted in the matter only after a careful in- vestigation ef the facts. This Mr. Martin said to the association, and he thought if it were not for the resignation the railroad company would not have had this post- penement. Mr. Hamilton's letter, President Tucker said, contained several statements which he thought the association should answer. Mr. Frizzell was of the same opinion. He objected particularly to the clause of the letter in which an indefinite postponement ked, and it was intimated that the ccmpany would make an effort to purchase or lease.from the government the reserva- tion in question. The chair recognized the fact that the ccmpany only wanted to prolong the mat- ter until Congress could be asked to legis- jate. The letter, which was a lengthy one, was read and discussed. Members of the 3 nt Were opposed to the sale or ervation the railroad is thelr re that the sqvare shall be converted into a park, when it will no longer be an eyesore to the peo- ple of Northeast Washington. Pr lent Tucker said that the letter is inconsistent with other statements coming from the company. The letter, he said, is full of inconsistencies, and a strong answer can be made to it, By a unanimous vote of the association the pre: nt of the association was direct- ed to send an answer to the letter to the Secretary of the Interior. Other Business. When the committee on proposed legisla- tion was called, President Tucker said he had no report to make, but at the next meeting he will report the result of tion, whether Mr. McKinley or n is elected. “You can tell now who is elected,” said a me did not care Mr. going to be ber, but the president to make a prediction. There were no other reports from com- mittees. When the chairman of the com- mutter on police and fire departments said he had no report to make Pr at Tucker id that Maj. Moore had a: for an in- in the number of policemen, and he hoped the committee would Go all in its power to help him. “I hope it won't, er remarked Maj. Burke.
