Some of the Beggars Taken Into Court—Colored Vagrants on the Increase, There are between five and seven hun- dred tramps in the city, so a policeman told a Star reporter this morning, and the feeding of these men takes just so much food from the poor of the city. A great many of these knights of the road called at the several police stations and asked for lodgings, and there was the usual number at the lodging house and mission. The cheap lodging houses accommodated a number of them. At these places the tramps are able to remain over night for from five to twenty-five cents, according to the location of the room and character of the bed. The five-cent lodgers get only a warm room and no bedding, but they seem just as well satisfied as those who Pay the extra sums and are given warm covering. When the municipal lodging house was started the police made a rule not to accommodate any lodgers. But it was found that exceptions had to be made, for night after night the number of lodgers was so large that several police stations had to open their lodgers’ rooms and allow some of the city’s visitors the privilege of remaining over night. There was a time when the police stations on the outskirts of the city had to accommodate most of the tramps, for the men would remain in the county until about sundown and then ven- ture in. But times have changed. The country people will no longer feed them, as they once did, and they have to depend almost wholly upon the city for support. During the day, as well as at night, the tramps go along the streets and ‘hold-up” pedestrians, as well as calling at houses and begging for food. In some sections of the city women are complaining of the number of tramps who are calling at their houses. Some of the tramps are so inso- lent that they have frightened women and children and caused some alarm. South Washington has had more than its share of tramps during recent days, and Policeman Sontag, who is detailed at the fourth precinct station, has taken many of the callers to court on charges of vagrancy. “The callers now average from six to fifteen a night,” the policeman remarked today, “but I never take any of them to court unless they are willing to go. I al- Ways tell them that if they remain they will have to go to court, and many of them express a willingness to go to court rather than take their chances in the cold. The tramps here now only want a comfortable place to remain until about the time of the inauguration, so that those who are sent down for short periods now are really de- lighted. A singular thing about the tramps is that a great many colored ones are among the number. As a rule, colored tramgs are scarce, but this season their number is largely increased.’ William Anderson, colored, and five white men, who gave their names as Jerome Daley, Frank Adams, Henry Hall, Neal Maguire and William Webb, called at the station last night because they had no other place to go, and were willing to re- main after hearing the officer explain the situation. Anderson's partner had been in court two days ago, and had been sent down for thirty days. He knew this, and said a month on the farm would just suit him. This morning Judge Kimball accommo- dated him. When Adams and Hall appeared they said that had been on the steamship Appomattox and had been discharged at Newport News. “We were in charge of cattle going over to Lendon,” they said, “and were coal passers on our return.” Vhat did you do with your money?” ‘Coal passers don’t get money,” was the response. They make their arrangements with the fireman, and he gives them some- thing to eat and a little tobacco, What are you going to do no’ “We want to return to Baltimore frum where we shipped.” Their personal bonds were taken, and they were sent out of town. Willian: Webb said he was a_machinist and had come from Newport News, but just where as going he did not know. He is by no means a stranger here, for, according to his story, he comes here every winter aid has been in the workhouse a number of times. “It's remarkable how many people say they are going to or coming from Newport News,” said the judge, “and how many shinists there are on the road.” The judge remembered Webb from last winter, and sent him down for ninety Gays. Maguire and Daley were sent down for thirty days each. It is the opinion of the police that life in the workhouse is too easy for tramps, and that they should be made to do more work than they now do. With a change in their treatment, the police think, many of them would be frightened away from here, and the city would not have so many of them to feed. When there are several hundred tramps in the city, who are fed by begging from house to house, this, ihe police say, means that just so many of the worthy poor are deprived of food. —s—_—_. COUNTESS HUITFELDT’S PROPERTY. Naptial Agreement Kecord- ed in Baltimore. An ante-nuptial agreement between Miss Louise Eugenie Bonaparte of Washington and Count Adam de Moltke-Huitfeldt of Denmark was recorded in Baltimore yester- day. The agreement was executed the 28th of last Decembe-, the day before Miss Bona- parte and the count were married in Wask- ington. Other parties to it are Mrs. Curo- line LeRoy Bonaparte, mother of the countess, and Mr. Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore. By the agreement Miss Bonaparte con- veyed all her property to her uncle, Mr. Charles J. Bonaparte, in trust. She is to receive the income for life, and the receipts of herself or her husband are to be a suffi- cient quittance to the trustee. Should the countess die before her husband he is to re- celve the income for life. After the death of both the countess and her husband the principal is to be distributed as she directs by her will. Should she leave no will the principal is to go to her children or heirs. If the count dies before his wife, leaving no children, the property is to be recon- veyed to the countess. Mr. Bonaparte ts to receive no compensation for acting as trus- tee. The count, by the agreement, if he dies before the countess, is to bequeath her for Ife such of his property as he may he per- mitted to leave her by the laws of his coun- try. Mrs. Bonaparte, mother of the countess, agrees to pay her daughter an annuity of $7,000 in quarterly installments of $1,750 on the 15th day of each January, April, July and October. The agreement is signed by all the parties to it, and was executed be- fore Charles S. Bundy, a notary public of Washington, and C. Brun, Denmark's min- ister at the national capital. ——_~- We're told our tulips are the finest grown. See them and judge. Gude, 1224 F.—Advt. ee Evangelist Meeting. The evangelistic meetings being held at Wesley Chapel this week will be varied to- night by a meeting for men only.

Mr. Furniss pafd his respects to the capital of the nation and especially to Cou- gress, contrasting some of its main char- acteristics with those of his own houses of parliament. Then a flying trip was made acroes the country by the aid of the carica- turist’s power of description and the {m- agination of the audience,.and Chicago was made the target for the Englishman's re- marks. Many laughable incidents were re- lated by Mr. Furniss, and although some criticisms were noted in the discourse they were made in such a happy way that no possible offense could be taken. New York was not left out of the remarks of the cari- caturist, and some of the things said about the great metropolis, as well as those in relation to the vapltal and the windy city, will not be forgotten by those heard Mr. Furniss yesterday for a long time. Mr. Furniss’ remarks were accompanied hy a series of caricatures drawn in his inim- itable fashion, that were enjoyable in the extreme. Although the cold weather hed something to do yesterday with the small attendance, Mr. Furniss’ entertainmen‘s certainly warrant a better patronage from every point of view. “The Middleman.”—Tonight Mr. Willard will give the 655th performance of Cyrus Blenkarn in Henry Artaur Jones’ powerful play, “The Middleman,” at the Lafayette Square Opera House. This is the part that first endeared American playgoers to ihis excellent ector. The revival of this play has provoked large houses and numerous curtain calls in cities visited during his present tour, and no doubt Washingcon Will fall in line tonight ond tomorrow even- ing. John Drew in “Rosemary.”—John, Drew, Charles Frohman’s well-known star, and the much-written-about play, “Rosemary,” will be at the Lafayette Square Opera House the week beginnirg Monday ext. “Rosemary” {s considered the best play Mr. Drew hes had, a strong stetement when the number of great successes to his credit is considered. His part in it, that ot Sir Jasper Whorndyke, a country squire of the early Victorian, or rather pre-Victorian period, will be found agreeably startling to his admirers, for it is unlike anything he has ever done, and yet it 1s said to he bet- ter than anything in his gallery of stage characterizations. Another interesting thing about this forthcoming engagement is that it is the last time Mr. Drew and Maud Adams will be seen on the same stage in this city. Next season that dainty artiste becomes a star on her own account under the direction of Mr. Frohman, a condition of things that her great popularity and talent rendered inevitable. “Rosemary” will be presented here exactly as in New York, and it is possible that one of its authors, Louis N. Parker, now in this country, will be present at least one even- ing. The other author is Mr. Murray Car- son. Besides Miss Adams, Mr. company embraces Arthur Byroz Harwood, Daniel Harkins, Grahame Hen- derson, Frank E. Lamb, Miss Ethel Barry- more, Mrs. Deloss King end Mrs. Annie Adams. The advance sale of seats begins tomorrow morning. Primrose and West's Minstrels.—Those famous minstrel entertainers, Primrose and West, have certainly introduced a genuine minstrel revolution this season, and one of such a nature as will leave a deep mark upon the future attempts in that same direction. This will be seen when they come to the New National Thea- ter next week. It has been a constant en- deavor on their part to grow in favor with the public, and each succe2ding season they have startled the natives by announc- ing a most elaborate plan. This season, however, the climax was reached when they secured a combination of whites and blacks to amalgamate their talents so as to present tie progress of minstrelsy, from its birth to the present day,in such a shape as to provide two separate and distinct per- formances during the same evening. This has been accomplished with results that must be gratifying to Primrose ara West, as it is delightful to all lovers of whole- some minstrel entertainment. [very ar- tist of note was pressed Into service and each one individually contributes a fair portion toward the end aimed. The entire program is said to be a highly interesting one, aside from the many novel features introduced, and everywhere heard trom the big show is attracting the greatest pcs- sible amount of consideration. “here are three military bands, one a pickaninny band of unusual merit, under the leader- ship of an able European conductor. All are handsomely uniformed, and their ad- vent is always calculated to gladdea the ears of all jovers of music. The Nancy Hanks.—At the Academy next Monday evening will be a gala event, it be: ing the return of “The Nancy Hanks,” and the two hundredth performance of this very funny comedy. Manager Rapley is going to make this one of the most notable events of the season—the theater will be decorated with greens, palms and flowers, and to every lady a dainty and unique sou- venir will be presented. Since last “The Nancy Hanks” was here, it has enjoyed unusual prosperity, and has been received with great enthusiasm in Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and other cities. After its engagement here it goes south for two weeks, and then makes its bow before a New York audience for a long engagement. Many new features have been introduced— new songs for Miss Anna Boyd and Mr. Martinett!, a new scene for Misses Gibson, Muldener ‘and Mr. Martinett!, and some new and beautiful dresses are worn by Miss Radcliffe and Miss Wickes. Ignacio Martinetti has also, with some pride, made an investment ina new and handsome gown fcr the second act, but has not been able to improve upon his bathing costuine. McKee Rankin and Nance O’Neil.—That favorite actor, McKee Rankin, will appear at the Grand’ Opera House next week in the recent New York production of his new play, entitled “True to Life.” Miss Nance O'Neil will appear with him. She is the young actress who caught New York so auickly and bounded into popularity in one night. In this new play Mr. Rankin seems to have struck a gold mine, for it is pro- nounced by the ablest critics in the land as the best piece of property he has ever owned, and is destined to once more es- tablish him upon the foothold of pros- perity. It 1s a story of intense human in- terest, built upon every-day themes, evi- dently simple, entertaining and natural. Mr. Rankin is one of our best actors, and We tell your doctor all there is in Scott’s Emulsion, just how much cod liver oil, hypophosphites, glycerine. But we do not tell him how these are combined.

Its startling denouements and mirthprovoking situa- tions evoke heartiest applause. The com- pany is a strong one inievery particular, and the members appear thoroughly at ease in their various characters. The specialties, consisting of:up-to-date songs, duets, trios, choruses and:dances, are given in a very capable manner. The principal figure in the drama issa tramp, through whose persistent efforts a mysterious crime is finally cleared up. This character is as- sumed by Mr. E. H. O'Connor, who is a clever singer and dancer.: Billy Bowers, as Fritz Grabhold, a German section gang boss, makes many friends by his special- ties. Mr. James Wall, Osborn Searl and R. Edgar Vance are excellent in their respe tive characters. Daisy Chaplin, the sou- brette, established herself as a decided fa- vorite by her natural acting and songs and dances. Gail Stanwood, Camilla Martin and Amy Page appeared to advantage in their different characters. The Big City Show.—The New York stars, known as the Big City Show, are now upon their fifth season as a successful traveling vaudeville company, and the artists en- gaged are the best that can be secured at home or abroad. They will be the attrac- tion at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week and will no doubt duplicate their former triumphs. The monopedes, Conway and Leland, aerobatic one-legged’ marvels, will present for the first time their double bicycle act. Beautiful M’lle. Anf, the European marvel and world-renowned lady gymnast, will appear in her thrilling per- formance in midair; ‘Frank D. Bryan of the late National Trio, will sing his own orig- inal parodies; Deaves’ Merry Manikins, or marionettes in a theater and verformance within a theater is another of the novel ties; John BE. Drew, the well-known come- dian and dancer, has a number of new ec- centricities to offer; Murphy and McCoy in comedy hits and flashes; Bonnie Lottie, the dancing and singing sunbeam; Giguere and Boyer, in their original comedy, en- titled “A Tenor Singer’s Dilemma;” the Hiatts, the expert musical artists, and the Folly Trio, composed of Pearl Bradburn, John Ward and George Murphy, jr., in a laughable sketch, conclude in making this one of the best vaudeville entertainments ever witnessed. Fisk Jubilee Singers—The Fisk Jubilee Singers will give their second concert at the Church of Our Father tonight. This standard musical organization 1s well known in this city, where it has appeared many times and it is particularly remem- bered on account of the excellent concert put up by it last Sunday night at the Na- tional Theater. The program to be given tonight {s a well selected one and should please all who hear it. After this concert the singers start on an extended tour and will not be heard here for some time to come. Bischoff Concerts.—Mrs. H. Clay Brown- ning, soprano, will sing at the Bischoff con- cert tonight in place of Mrs. Hattie Meads- Smith, who is forced to give up her engage- ment on account of illness. Mrs. Browning is well known as a singer of the first rank among local musicians in Washington and her many friends and admirers will be vut in force to give her a hearty welcome. The remainder of the numbers on the program will be the same as at first announced. “The Scarlet Letter.”—Dr. A. G. Rogers will deliver his popular: lecture on “The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne's best-known work, at the Church of Our Father, corner 13th and L streets north- west, Friday evening next, under the aus- pices of the Ladies’ Aid.

Phe impressivenes: of the revital will also be enhanced hy di scriptive music, and no doubt is felt that the popularity of the lecturer, his excellent subject and the object for which the lecture is given will induce a great many people to patronize such an estimable charity Organ at @é Jail. The organ which “had been-used at the religious services held every Sunday-at the District jail for a number of years recently became practically useless, and Warden Leonard and. the other jail’ officials: sug- gested the purchase of a néw one.
