Road Made Con- With Its Rival. - The trouble between the Glen Echo and the Great Fails electric railways seems to be at a starfistill just at present, though the situation is Hkely to assume another phase at any time. In the extension of the tracks ef the Glen Echo railroad prepara+ tions were made at the south end of the line to connect with the tracks of the Great Falls road, and use them as fav as Cabin John bridge. It seems as though the fren- chise of the Glen Echo road originally gave them a right of way south of the Conduit road from Glen Echo to Cabin John bridge, ard this right was transferred to the Great Falls road, so it is understood, upon the condition that the Glen Echo road could use the same tracks if an extension was desired. The latter road thas extended its terminals on the north to Chevy Chase Circle, and at the south to Cabin John bridge. The Conduit road’-was prepared for the railroad crossing, and everything was in readiness to make the connection the terminel, when the Great Falls road interposed some objection. It is understood that the Glen Echo officials were ready sev- eral times to make the connection, but the attempts were frustrated py the Great Falls road by placing a car just at the point where the connection was to have been made. The connection has now been Taade, though the Glen Echo road was forced to steal a march on the other road. The connections were made one night after 12 o'clock, and the laborers worked hard. Before morning the connections had been made, much to the surprise of the Great Falls officials, who did not antici- pate such a move. This is the status of the situation at present, and though the Great Falls road may accept the result without 4 it seems hardly Iikely that it will. a TOOK NINETY DAYS’ LEAVE. Why a Coachman Discharged From the Weather Bureau. The removal of Coachman’ Pembroke Richardson from the weather bureau has | been ths subject of much gossip during the past few days. It was said that the. cavse of his removal was his objection to wearing a suit of livery that had been fcrmerly worn by a negro driver of the carriage used by the chief of the bureau. Mr. Willis B. Moore, the chief of the bu- reau, states that this version of the affair is erroneous; that Richardson was the sub- ject of a good deal of complaint on ac- ceunt of his many protracted absences from duty. It was found that he was working his farm near Forestville, Md., at the same time that he was trying to hold do-vn a position in the bureau. Last year he got thirty days’ annual leave, thirty days of sick leave on a doctor's certificate and thirty days’ additional sick leave, also on a physician's certificate. Once when a messenger was sent to his farm to see if he was getting better he was. fond plowing corn. At another time the messenger did not find him at home, but learned that he was away working for an- other farmer. He was removed January 5, and it was reported that he would ap- peal to Senator Gorman to be reinstated. Mr. Moore-wrote to the senator that Rich- ardson had been removed for general in- efficiency, and that the papers in the case were at his conventence if he should see fit to investigate the matter. Nothing further has been done in the matter. SS Death of Dr. Stayman. Dr. Jacob A. Stayman, the senior member of the plano firm of Sanders & Stay- man of this city, died last Sunday morning at his home in Baltimore at the age of seventy years. He leaves a widow, but no children. He was graduated from Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., and sub- sequently from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania. During the civil war he served as surgeon in the United States army. It was while in charge of hospital work in Philadelphia that Col. Harry Sanders of Massachusetts was brought under his care as a badly wounded soldier. The acquaintance begun there xrew in years into a firm ‘riendship, out of which sprang the copartnership of Sanders & Stayman, established in 1867. Dr. Stayman was a modest and cultured man, devoting much time to reading and study and to the collection of rare and beautiful porcelains and curios. His fun- eral occurred Tuesday and was attended by several prominent gentlemen from dif- ferent parts of the country, among whom were Gen. Julius J. Estey of Brattleboro’, A. H. Fischer and Robert Proddovy York city. Mr. Percy 5. Foster, the man- ager of the Washington warerooms, was also in attendance. See Pennsylvania Association. Last evening the Peansylvanlz Republican State Association met at their rooms, 923 F street northwest. Much of the time was cceupied in adopting the constitution sub- mitted by the committee previously ap- pointed to prepare the instrument, and with’ a few changes it was adopted. It was de- cided in view of the adoption of the new constitution to properly organize in con- formity with its provisions and require- ments, and to regard the previous organiza- tion as of a temporary character. An elec- tion of officers was thereupon had, which resulted in the unanimous selection of the following persone to serve the ensuing term: President, B. F. Crawshaw; first vice president, Col. S. R. Stratton; second vice president, Col. J. H. Dewees; third vice president, John W. Douglass; secretary, Clarence K. Young; financial secretary, W. M. D. Rosser; treasurer. George Brown; committee on membership, Wm. J. Cook, Charles H. Leeds, B. F. Sparhawk; audit- ing committee, Gen. A. D. Hazen, Col. W. H. Dooliitie, Dr. C. B. Purvis. The execu- tive committee will be announced by the president of the association at the next meeting, to be held Thursday evening, February 18, at which several important matters will be considered. There were several applications for membership and much interest was displayed in the meet- ing. ——— ed lection of Officers. The Sunday school beard of the St. Paul M. E. Church held ite annual election of officers last night. The election resulted as foliows: Superintendent, Mason Rich- ardson; first assistant superintendent, Prof. A. C. True: second assistant superinten- dent, Mrs. S. L. Beiler; secretary, F. Wiley Crist; treasurer, E. S. Farwell; Mbrarian, A. C. Wells, assistant Hbrarian, Miss E. Fill; chorister, J. R.

Tasker; atsistant superintendent of the primary de- partment, Mrs. M. N. Richardson. The in- stallation of these officers will take place ster Sunday. —_—__ About a Coat. Avery A. Brown, who told Detectives Helan and Proctor yesterday that a coat found on him had belonged to his late father, Zachariah Brown, is now charged with larceny. The detectives learned that there had been no such person as Zachariah Brown reported as having died during the past year, and when the young man had made contradictory statements he was locked up. When Policeman Clint. Lamb read an account of the man’s arrest he re- membered that a coat answering the de- scription of the garment recovered had been reported stolen by Joseph A. Hernes, who lives at 725 Market street, Philadel- phia. He had been robbed of the coat while engaged in writing a letter in Wi- lard’s Hotel yesterday. Brown will be tried as soon as Mr. Hernes returns here. ————— An Explanation to Mr. Lowenstein. Ferdinand Lowenstein, the dealer in jew- elry and second-hand articles of gold and silver, called at police headquarters yes- terday and saw Inspector Hollinberger. The trouble he had in headquarters Mon- day was mentioned, and the inspector as- sured the dealer that he had been treated in a recent transaction the same as other dealers are treated. Certainly he had no ill will toward the dealer, and said he was satisfied that the articles found in his store had not been dishonestly obtained. So far as the use of the word thief was concerned, the inspector said he used the word during a@ heated discussion. is a Eee Yesterday the food inspectors condemned 62 pounds of beef, 50 pounds of mutton, 30 —= of br 5 ane = fish, FORK 8, 7 rabbits and a small - fruits and vegetables. ores = ainsi ob AMUSEMENTS. “Patience” by Amateurs.—Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera of “Patience,” given last night at the Brookland Hall for the benefit of the Brookland Guild, was largely rattended. The entire cast did remarkably well. Miss Bessie Driver, as Patience, has a full, clear voice, which came out strong in jall her work. Her solos were partic- ularly well rendered. Miss Jennie Tyrer as Lady Angela was the most aesthetic of all the maidens, and carried her character to perfection. The solo, “Gifts of Gifts,” ae by Miss Tyrer in the first act, called forth loud applause. Miss Ella Ehishlager as Lady Saphir, and Miss Eleanor Burgess ag Lady Ella deserve high commendation, while Miss Eva Whitford made a typical Lady Jane. Mr. W. H. Conlcy is always good in whatever he undertakes, and proved equal to the proper fulfillment of the character of Bunthorne. Mr. P. H. Maxwell filled the role of Grusvenor in a creditable manner. Mr. Charles Bell as the Colonel, Mr. C. H. Wright as the Major and Mr. F. Wm. Ernst as the Duke deserve commendation for the manner in whieh they interpreted their parts. The solo work in all cases showed careful training and the chorus work was good. The act- ing and stage managing reflected great credit upon Mr. W. H. Conley, who had this matter in charge. The opera was produced under the direction of Prof. H. E. Salts- man of Washington, who was also the ac- companist of the evening. The applause throughout the opera was hearty, and in many cases encores had to be responded to. At the conclusion of the performance dancing was indulged in and refreshments served in the guild room. Between the acts a mandolin, violin and guitar quartet rendered several selections. Others who took part in the opera were Mr. Louis Steinbach as solicitor, and Mrs. Dickerson, Mrs. Bishop, Mrs. Stone, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Marceron, Misses Mamie and Martha Ru- pertus, Lerch, Cook, Loftus and Comb as maidens, and Messrs, Allan, Bradley, Steinbach, Gottwald, O’Brien, Butler, Dick- ersen, Gellman, Davis and Reubsom as dragoons. The opera will be repeated by the same cast tonight at Odd Fellows’ Hall, for the benefit of Canton Potomac Field Band, and it is expected that the hall will be crowded to witness one of the best ama- teur performances that has been given !n @ long time. Mr. Mayo’s Recital._—The concert given by Arthur D. Mayo and Mrs. Charles Shaler at the Church of Our Father last evening was a splendid success. The auditorium was well filled and vigorous applause greeted the efforts of the musicians. Mr. Mayo’s splendid technique was well demonstrated in the rendition of selections from Schu- mann, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Heller, Liszt, Moszkowski, Bendel, Verdi and Wagner. His selections from “Die Meistersinger” were the favorites of the evening. The rich contralto voice of Mrs. Shaler was heard to splendid advantage in Wagner's ‘‘Schlaf Holdes Kind.” The Biographe.—The biographe still con- tinues to draw at Willard Hall, and several new pictures will shortly be added to the collection, which 1s now probably as com- plete as there is in this country. The new scenes will deal with military subjects. They were secured at Governor's Island, New York harbor, and picture a regiment in heavy morching order, soldiers scaling a high wall and a “blanket” court-martial. Exceptionally large audiences have been noted during this week, and the excellent advantages of the biographe over other like inverticrs have been the subject of fre- quent comment. The exhibitions are given daily at 2:30, 4:30 and 8:15 p.m., and the whole r:cmber of pictures embraced in the collection are shown at each exhibition. Aeolian Recitals—The Saturday after- noon recitals in the parlors of the Sanders & Stayman building, 1327 F street, are be- coming very popular. This instrument plays the most difficult music perfectly and artistically. A prominent local soloist as- sists each week, and tomorrow Mrs. Lee Conwell will sing soprano solos. Last week piano numbers were played by Miss Lottie Caverly, and recitations given by Prof. W. H. Alger of Baltimore. Next week the Washington Lady Quartet will assist. All lovers of music are cordially welcomed by the director, Mr. Percy 8. Foster, and no charge is made for admis- sion. Washington String Orchestra—The con- cert to be given this evening at the Church of Our Father, corner 13th and L streets northwest, by the Washington String Or- chestra promises to be one of the most en- Joyable ever given by this ~well-known or- Zanization. The Washington String Or- chestra has been one of the standard mu- sical organizations of the city for some time past, and has always enjoyed a repu- tation for accuracy, efficiency and skill, as well as intelligence in its interpretation of the difficult works it has presented from time to time. Mr. Ernest Lent, its conduc- tor, is a musician of recognized merit and ability, and has brought the organization up to a high standard. The program which will be given tonight will test the capabili- ties of the orchestra in many direcons and will be enjoyable in the extreme. The ‘orchestra on this occasion will be assisted by Miss Emilie Russell, soprano; Mrs. Francis Hempstone, contralto; Miss. Eliz beth Gardner, pianist; Miss Louise Carson, Miss Grace Hopkins, Mr. Fitzhugh Golds- borough and Mr. Andre Dumaine, violinists. Se THE WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS.

Secretary—Miss ———— POINT OF PISTOL. Bold Robbery Perpetrated Early Last Night. Last night about 7 o'clock there was a robbery committed in the store of Bernard McQuade, corner of 5th and M_ streets southeast, by two colored men. Each of the robbers. was armed with a revolver, which figured in the transaction for the purpose of frightening the members of the McQuade famly. Mr. McQuade, who is an elderly man, was seated in his dining room with his wife and daughter, when he heard the store door open and some one enter. Thinking a customer had called, Mrs. Mc- Quade went in the store, only to meet a colored man, who pointed a pistol at her and warned her not to make an outcry, but he was too late with his words of warning, for Mrs. McQuade appealed to her husband. When he responded the second colored man covered him with a pistol. With the glistening weapons pointed to- ward the grocer and his wife, it was use- less for them to attempt a move against the robbers. “If you move I'l! blow out your brains,” satd’one of them. The aged couple did not move, but remained still until the money drawer had been emptied of its contents, about 40 cents, and then the colored men walked quietly away. While they were in the store Miss McQuade, a daughter of the couple, entered from the dining room and told. the men to take the money, but to spare her parents. The robbers were evi- dently very much disappointed at not get- ting more money. The amount. obtained did not pay them. for their trouble. Soon after the robbery wasi committed complaint Was-made to the police and good deserip- tions of the colored. men were furnished by the grocer and his ‘wife. SS Chestmat No. 2. 35 per ton.

Members of the police department are considerably worried over an item in the appropriation bill concerning their leaves of absence..In the bill of last year this item said the members of the force were entitled té twenty days’ leave with pay, the time of such-leave to be determined by the Commissioners. This year this provision has been changedis#o @s to leave the num- ber of days in. the'disecretion of the Com- missioners. According to the: provision the members are entitled to leave with pay for such time, not exbeeding twenty days, as the Commissioners: may determine. Just what this means the ‘officers: would like to know. There was:a time when'the police were entitled to only:ten days’ leave, but frequently, it is sald, the higher officials were given as many ag thirty days. Speak- ing of the matter to a Star reporter a po- liceman said he feared this new provision was intended te< operate against some members of the ferce, So far as he was concerned he thought ‘the men were all en- titled to the same amount of leave, and he could see no reason why policemen should be given less than-others employed by the District government. =o —= WHAT CAN CUTICURA DO Bverything that is cleansing, purifying and beau- tifying for the skin, scalp and hair of infants and children the CUFICURA REMEDIES will do.

BOARD OF TRADE. ean Transacted at the Meeting of the Directors Last Night. , The monthly meeting of the board of directors of. the board of trade was held last night at the rooms of the board, Presi- dent 8. W. Woodward in the chair. Frank B. Noyes, Frank K. Raymond and C. E. Wood were elected members of the board of trade. x The matter of the naval militia, which was referred to the committee on public order, of which Major George H. Harries is chairman, was reported back to the directors with a favorable recommendation, and the directors gave it their hearty in- dorsement. Secretary Wight laid before the board a communication from the president of the Bar Association, stating that Justice Cox, who was invited by the Bar Association and the board of trade about a year ago to prepare a new code of laws for the District, is now engaged in that important work. This gave the directors pleasure. The directors passed a resolution request- ing the committee on public schools to ar- range for suitable exercises by the public schools of. the city on Washington's birth- day, which it is hoped will be as successful as the exercises last year. The committee is actively engaged in preparing for this patriotic occasion. It is proposed to have a member of the board of trade to either preside or make an address at the exercises at each of the public schools of the city. The desire is that the business men of the city may be brought in closer touch with the public schools. Gratifying reports were made directors by Secretary Wight regarding the baie of dues by members. This is in the face of the increase in dues from $5 to to the $10. Very few members of the board have severed their connection because of this increase. The annual reception of the board of trade, to be held at the Arlington next Tuesday evening, promises to be even moré brilliant and enjoyable than that of last year or of past years.

Contempt of Court Proceedings Grow =z Out of the Affair. Upon the motionrof Messrs, M. J. Colbert and Charles J. Murphy, counsel for Ethel Douglas, the actress who recently sued Richard Mansfield here, Judge Cole has is- sued a rule against Mr. E. B. Hay, Mr. Mansfield’s attorney, and Manager Jobn W. Albaugh of the Lafayette Square Op- era House, requiring them to show cause why a rule should not be entered against them’ for contempt of the process of the court. The rule is made returnable before Judge Cole at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn- ing. Lin ag will include classic as well ax popular Ix will be remembered that the sult was }eciect filed Saturday, the 23d of last month, when Mr. Mansfield was playing an engagement at the Lafayette Square Opera House. Deputies Cusick and Wilkerson of Marshal Wilson's office appeared at the theater at the evening performance for the purpose of serving the summons on Mr. Mansfield. In affidavits made by them the deputies charged that Mr. Albaugh refused them entrance for the purpose of serving the writ. They swear that Cusick saw Mr. Hay in the theater lobby, when Mr. Hay announced himself to be Mr. Mansfield’s attorney, and promised and assured Cusick that Mr. Mansfield would accept service immediately after the performance, which would conclude about 10:30. Cusick says Mr. Albaugh three times refused him en- trance to serve the writ, and that when the performance concluded Mr. John W. Albaugh, jr., was about to conduct him to Mr. Mansfield’s dressing room, when Mr. Hay prevented him from doing so. Deputy Cusick then goes on to state that the following Monday, Mr. Mansfield hav- ing eluded service, Mr. Hay stated that in acting as he did his only purpose was to = = es leading ‘authority on ware, prevent him from serving the writ upon ee oat his client; that he had advised the latter | ftelarly of Investigators on Shakespes re hy if i e bi dressing: room ut after midnignt. the | February 15, Mansel left the theater before aiinient | “*Shakespeare, the Man.” disguised.
