Herbert Whitney, a colored newsboy, was toid by a policeman yesterday that he woula have to stop dancing on the s‘dewalk on Pennsylvania avenue, and ordered him to “move on.” The boy moved, but when he returned and dared the officer to arrest him, the officer did not take the dare. Now the boy is spending three days on the farm in default of fine. George Cole, colored, who struck James Crump on the head in August and has been in the county ever since, came back last night, and now he is serving six months in jail. The police frequently complain that they are detained in the Police Court later than 11 o'clock in the morning, but they never excuse themselves for being late. Because of the tardiness of policemen the sessions of the court are frequently deiayed. Bishop Satterlee has formulated a prayer and ordered it to be read during the ser- vices of the Episcopal Church in the diocese of Washington. The prayer relates to the present campaign and appeu!s for the right of personal suftrage for everybody. Police Court lawyers are not getting many big fees now. There was a time when the Fractlee in this court was profitable and when some of the lawyers gathered in as much as $8,000 a year. But now the big fees are scarce, and it is a common thing to hear lawyers squai,bling with clients for their fee after they appear in court. ———_— 12-Inch Stock Boards Also $1 per 100 fi, the finest lumber.

The First Congregational Church, corner of 10th and G streets, was well filled last evening for a lecture in the regular course given under the auspices of the National Geographic Society. The lecture was by Rev. John N. McGonigle of St. Augustine, Fila., and his subject was “The geography of the southern peninsula of the United States." There are few men well qualified to speak on this topic as Rev. Mr. Mc- Gonigle, for he has given a great deal of study to the subject and in addition has the merit of being an entertaining lecturer. He held the attention of his audience close- ly and kept his hearers thoroughly inter- €sted In his description of the climate, re- sources and wealth of the state, which oc- cupies a unique position in the nation on account of its tropical character. The lec- ture was handsomely illustrated with stere- opticon views, which aided the lecturer in giving a complete idea of the scenery and Vegetation of the state. —_+ -— Honor te Whom Honor is Due. “When my father says, ‘My son, I am proud of you!"

There are four methods by which lawless- ness of the character. now prevalent in Alexandria county may be suppressed: First, through the conscientious discharge of thelr duties on the part of the duly elected offi- cers; second, by laying before incompetent and venal officers specific infractions of law and furnishing testimony in support there- of; third, upon fallure of the former two, impeachment of officers; fourth, the ex- treme measures which have always been the last resort of an outraged community and a free people_in the suppression of law- lessness after continued miscarriage of jus- lice. Only One Practicable Plan. The first method has been tried and found wanting. The result of the recent trials of gamblers shows the futility and impotency ef the second. To prevent the execution of the fourth method, the Citizens’ League was organized, and, therefore, for practical Eurposes, so far as we are concerned, it dees not exist. The only method remaining is the im- peachment of officers. This is a very serious and difficult undertaking, involving large expense in the employment of counsel of the highest ability. We would have to fight not only all the gamblers of Alexan- dria county from the “runner” to the two “big chiefs," to whose will all the petty gamblers of the county must bend, and who select and therefore control our officers, but we also would have to fight the head of the combination of policy shops in New York who receives tribute from all the gamblers of the country engaged in policy. Unlimited Means of the Gamblers. These people have unlimited means with which to oppose any reform in.our county affairs; no official is too low and none too high not to be subject to their will when occasion demands; and they control the best legal talent in Alexandria city. It is to be deplored that in order to support the mothers, daughters and wives of a.few in the historical old city of Alexandria, the heart-strings of thousands of mothers, daughters and wives in the city of Wash- ington should be cut in twain and gray heads bowed in shame, but as long as legal talents are a purchasable commodity pub- lic condemnation will have little weight. Gambling in its worst forms ‘1s openly carried on nightly in the county. This is as well known to the county officers as it Is to the general public, but, for reasons best known to them, it will not be suppressed. Neither would success crown the efforts of the league in bringing these gamblers to trial en evidence now in our possession, be- fore these officers. Help is Needed. While the respectable people of our county recognize that the lawlessness pre- vailing in our midst is a disgrace,” ma- terially injuring the most beautiful resi- dence section around the national capital, and while we are in earnest and uncom- promising in our efforts at suppression, yet we feel that it is almost impossible for a small county, with a population of about 5,000, to stand, alone and unaided, the on- slaught of the vicious element of a city of 200,000, nor do we think it just that we should. We know that where one youth in Alexandria county breaks his mother's heart or disgraces the family name through gambling in these nefarious resorts, a thousand hearts are broken and a thous- and names disgraced in the city of Wash- ingion. We know that our popuiation is composed largely of small farmers of the most limited means, while the city of Washington has many wealthy and char- itable citizens within its borders. For these reasons, among others, we think we do not overstep the bounds of propriety in appealing to the Washington public, not only for their moral support, but also thelr material support, in our efforts to suppress that which affects prin- cipally only our material prosperity, but which fs surely and rapidly undermining the morals of many of Washington's youth.

A reception was held at Masonic Temple last evening by the Ladies’ Aid Society of the spiritualists of Washington to dele- gates of the national spiritualists’ conven- tion, which had been mm session here during the three preceding days. The day had been spent by the delegates in making excur- sions to Mount Vernon and the Soldiers’ Home, and in the evening they gathered at Masonic Temple. The reception commit- tee consisted of the president of the Aid Society, Mrs. Jaquess; the vice presidents, Mrs. Clendaniel and Mrs. Ferguson; the secretary, Mrs. Dr. Squire, and Mrs. Wheel- er Brown, Mrs. White, Mrs. Woodbury and Mrs. Damon of the bourd of trustees. After an hour and a half had been spent by the delegates in getting better acquaint- ed, the evening session was called to order and an interesting program was rendered. Spiritualistic tests were given by Mrs. Prior of Canada and Miss Maggie Gaule of Baltimore. Mrs. Wheeler Brown gave a piano soio, and a quartet, consisting of Mr. and Miss Sullivan, Mrs. Penny and Miss Bacon, was well received. Mr. Sullivan gave character impersonations; Miss An- nie Bacon rendered a plano solo, which Was enthusiastically encored. Miss Thrall's recitation, Master Charles Hatch’s violin solo, J. H. Altemus’ songs and Prof. F. A. Whitelaw’s rendition of Schubert's Sere- nade were all well received by the large audience. ———__. MYERS’ HOTEL MEETINGS.

Keene, the tragedian, who will appear in his va- ried repertoire of Shakespearean and other classic plays at the Lafayette Square Op- era House next week. Mr. Keene is ac- companied by and under the management of Charles B. Hanford, the pcpular young tragedian of this city, and a large support- ing company. Mr. Keene will present all the plays in his repertoire, which has pecs) arranged as follows: Monday, “Louis XI;’ ‘Tuesday, Wednesday matinee, “Ingomar,” in which Mr. Hanford will appear in the title role, assisted by Mr. Keeue’s complete company; Wednesday night, “Hamlet;” Thursday, “Julius Cae- ser:” Friday, “Othello;” Saturday matinee, “The Merchant of Venice; Saturday night, “Richard III.” These plays show the re- mafkable versatility of Mr. Keene, and they will no doubt attract large audiences during the week. Monday is Mr. Keene's birthday, and his numerous friends in this city will probably arrange to celebrate the event. It has been several years since he presented “Julius Caesar,” although it af- fords him, in the role of “the lean and hungry Cassius,” an opportunity to dis- play his rare dramatic genius. Mr. Han- ford also has a strong part in this play, in the role of Marc Antony, in wnich he has won distinction. The opening bill presents Mr. Keene in one of his greatest charaz- ters. “‘Louls XI" was rewritten for Mr. Keene and new situations introduced. All the acts and climaxes are described as strorg, well arranged and logically devel- oped. Since the death of Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett he has occupied almost alone that field of dramatic work in which both of them won renown. Among the members of Mr. Keene's ccmpany are Grace Hopkins, Mary Timberman, Marie Drofnch, Mrs. 8. A. Baker, Carl Ahrendt, Lawrence Lowell, Bertram Temple, Joha Milt Paul Taylor and Lawrence F. Ada Rehan.—Miss Ada Rehan comes to the Lafayette Square Opera House elec- tion week, appearing in the following rep- ertoire: Monday, “Taming the Shrew;” Tuesday, “London Assuran " _Wednes- day, “School for Scandal Thursday, “Love on Crutches;” Friday evening and Saturday matinee, “As You Like It; Sat- urday evening, “Taming the Shrew.” Grand Opera House. jhannon of the Sixth,” which will appear at the Grand Opera House next week, Is one of the strongest military plays now before the public. It deals with a young Irishman who has achieved notoriety through his bravery during the Sepoy rising in India, and follows his upward career through the fortunes and misfortunes of war. The cp- portunities for dramatic force are many, and W. H. Power, who impersonates the leading character, takes advantage of all of them. There is everything in the piece calculated to hold the interest of those who see it, while the introduction of hyp- notism, theoscphy and occult science, those great mysteries of the eastern land, and which are unexplained up to the present day, gives the production a flavor and snap that add to the interest and lend additional! force to the delineation of the characters. “New National Theater._Next week the attraction will be the operatic comedy “Dor- cas.” Academy of Music.—Oriental America” wifl hold the stage next week. The Bijou Theater—The attraction at the Bijou Family Theater next week will be Al. G. Field's “Darkest America.” In it are eighty real southern negroes. Home life among the negroes is the basis of the en- tertainment, showing, the amusements, an- tics, frolics and games of the southern negro in his humble home. The dance, songs and music are their greatest delight Up to the beginning of the war no more in- teresting people lived than the negro slaves of the south. Their games and amusements were fascinating to all people. Time has nearly obliterated the genuine plantation negro. He is very seldom seen, but he is just as interesting as of yore. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater—Once every year a particularly successful vaudeville company is launched, one that, from its own force, becomes more generally known after it has been presented only a few weeks, than others do after they have been on tour a season or two. Gus Hill's famous noveities company, which commences a week’s engagement at the Lyceum Theater next Monday, belongs to this class. Among its features may be mentioned: Speck Brothers, the laughable dwarf com- edians, in their comical sparring act; the two American Macs, the men who set the world laughing; Rice and Elmer, comedy bar gymnasts, in a “Trip to China Town;” Frank Latona, the Hoodoo Musician; Leon- ard and Barnard; Montgomery and Stone; Annie Whitney, the peerless queen of song. the Great Bringham; Ladell and Alvers; Hill, Egerton and Knoel. ‘The Fizk Testimonial.—The benefit. which was tendered Mr. Harry-Fisk at the Lafay- ette Square Opera House yesterday after- noon by the different managers of the playhouses in this city was one of the most enjoyable events of the kind ever given in Washington. At the same time that it furnished an excellent entertainment for | those who bought the tickets for it it !l- lustrated the good will, kindheartedness and the charity which the people of Wash- irgton evince whenever one of their num- ber is in distress. Mr. Fisk was associated with Mr. Albaugh for many years in the Management of both Albaugh’s Grand Op- era House and the Lafayette Square, and & great many of those who attended the benefit yesterday were simply repaying fa- vers which have been extended to them in the past ai his hands. Al! of the compa- nies now playing in the city were repre- sented, together with the orchestras of the ciferent theaters, and, in fact, the only cutside number on the program was Miss Helen Lamont of the city, who played such a lcng engagement at the Grand when Mr. isk was there. The names of the partic! paats in the program have already been published, and it only need be said that every number was successfully perform- ed, and that encores were frequent. The ders of the orchestras at the various theaters conducted the music, while the rerformers from their playhouses were on the stage, Prof. Victor Johnson from the Lafayette, Chris Arth, jr., from the Acad- emy, Prof. A. W. Sehroeder from the Na- ticnal, Prof. Wiliiam V. Sauner from the Grard, and Prof. Howard Whitney from the Lyceum. The benefit was opened by a mew march by Prof. Johnson, entitled “Friendship March,” and dedicated to Mr. Harry Fisk. The stage was under the d rection of Morgan A. Skerwood and ever: thing went off with a smoothness and pre- cision that was commendable. Miss Dailey’s Benefit.—Besides those who have already volunteered for the benefit to be tendered Miss Lilian Z. Dailey at the Metrcepolitan A. M. E. Church next Tue: day evening the Amphion Glee Club will be on hand and will render several selec- tiors in its well-known spirited manner. The glee club will round out a program of rather more than the usual degree of ex- cellence, and with Miss Dailey giving some of her experiences during the thirteen years in which she was away from home, should prove interesting and entertaining as well as lucrative. Trinity Parish Hall.—The entertainment to be given at Trinity Parish Hall, 3d street and Indiana avenue northwest, Monday evening next at 8 o'clock promises to be very interesting. . The program will con- sist of vocal and instrumental music, rect- tations and readings in negro dialec: Among. those who. have kindly offered their services are: Mrs. Eva Olney, Mrs. Nannie McRoberts, Miss Goodwin, Mr. Arthur D. Mayo, Mr. Kecling, Mr. Fitzhugh Golds- kcrough and the ‘Dixie Quartet.” Metropolitan Concerts.—The series of five concerts to be given this winter under the name of ‘Metropolitan Concerts” at the Columbia Opera House are attracting con- siderable attention from musicians and the music-loving contingent of this city. The artists who have been engaged for the dif- ferent events are among the best in the world, and there is every reason to believe that their coming-to the national capital will. be the occasion of signal successes. The first concert is to be given December 15, and the artists who will appear are Moritz ‘Rosenthal in a piano recital, assisted by iss Minen, soprano, and Sig. Quintano, violinist. Rosenthal’s work on the piano 1eeds no comment here, and it is sufficient to announce his coming and the program which he will interpret. Those who will ap- pear in the other events are Mme. Camilla Urso, violinist; Miss Dvignes, contralto; Mr. Douglass, tenor; Mr. Behrens and Mr. F. Sonnekal, pianists, on the 16th of January: Rafael Joseffy, pianist; Miss Lemon, so- prano; Mr. Hans Kronold, ‘cellist, and Miss Julie Levey, pianist, on the 15th of Febru. ary; "Mme.

George Phillips, thé brcklayer who was hurt bya new brick ghimney falling on him yesterday morning, died at his home yesterday afterncon shortly after 4 o'clock from internal injuries. Mr. Phillips had been at work building a new overhanging chimney on the blacksmith shop of George Rote on Payne stteet, when it suddenly gave way and fell on him, knocking him backward into a box of scrap iron. Mr. Phillips was cut about the head and ap- parently unhurt in other ways. He got up ard walked to a box, where he sat down, and In reply to an inquiry said he was not much hurt, and would be all right in a few minutes. Feeling iather bad, he went into the office attached to the blacksmith shop to lic down. Just as Mr. Rote return- ed to the shop, about 3:15 o'clock, Phillips awoke, callir.g loudly for water, of which he partook in large quantities. A physician was hastily sent for, but before one could reach his side Phillips had died. Dr. Wm. R. Purvis made an examination, and it was fcund that the blow on the head had eaused a slight fracture, and on his right side just above his waist was a large bruise. Dr. Purvis deemed an inquest unnecessary, and deeided that death had been caused by in- ternal injuries. Married Secretly. It has just beccme known that Mr. Avery Rittenour, a well-known young drvg clerk of this city, and Miss Grace Pgoutts of Washington were murried secretly at the residence of Rev. D. H. Kern in this city on July 16 last. From what can be learn- ed of the marriage it appears that Mr. Rittenour had not reached his majority and was afraid of parental objection, so taking the matter in their own hands they went to the clerk's office of the corpora- tion court, where a lcense was procured and the knot tied. Mr. Rittenour told his mother of the affair last night and today all is as quiet as if the marriage bells had rung out loud and long The Alexandria Assembly. The first german of the season under the auspices of the Alexandria Assembly was given in McBurney’s Hall last night and was largely attended, many being present from Washington, Baltimore and elsewhere.

EXCURSIONS, The regular oyster roast will be given at Marshall Hall tomorrow, the steamer Mac- alester making’ her regular trips at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Roast oysters are peculiar to this vicinity, and they are served in all their natural deliciousness and amid sur- roundings that are calculated to bring all the enjoyable features of a feast on the succulent bivalves. Ladies are especially Invited on these trips. The service for them will take place in the dining room. Every facility for making away with the oysters will be found at the Hall, and the best ac- commodations will prevail.

Bishop Satterlee had an extended confer- ence with the vestry of. St. Mark's Church last evening, at his home on Highland ter- race. The invitation, which the vestry re- cently extended to him, to select St. Mark's as the cathedral church until the erection of the Episcopal cathedral, was considered at length. The result of the conference has not been made public, but it is believed that the matter is very near a final settlement, and the general impression is that his answer will be a favorable one. At any rate the vestry are certainly more sanguine than they have been at any time since the Proposition was originally broached. A Star reporter made an attempt to see the bishop this morning, in the hope that he might be induced to make some definite statement on the subject. The attempt was @ failure, for the maid who came to the door announced that the bishop would posi- tively see no one except by definite Pointment. Pe ng —— PERSONAL BONDS. Some Inconsistencies im* the Police Court Regulations. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh has made a report to Attorney Thomas that during the last fiscal year, in Judge Kimbali’s court, personal bonds were taken in 247 cases, or nearly one-third of all the cases in court. Mr. Pugh has always objected to such disposition of cases, for he thinks that persons arrested are entitled to elther an acquittal or conviction. The action of the court has been com- mented on in legal circles and it has been remarked that there are thousands of resi- dents under the court's bond. This bond read: “You acknowledge yourself to be indebted to the District of Columbia in the sum of $100, all lawful money of the United States, to be levied on your goods and chat- tels, lands and tenements upon condition nevertheless that you appear in the Po- Nce Court of the District of Columbia from day to day until the call against you Is finally disposed of and not depart the court without leave; then this recognizance to be null and void, otherwise to remain in full force and virtue in law.” Under the terms of the bond the de- fendants s0 released are required to ap- pear in ccurt from day to day and should the letter of the law be complied with there is not « bullding in the city that would hold the crowd spect A Grand “Mum” Display.
