Organ grinders, piano players, members of brass bands and itinerant musicians generally are required to get permits to play on the streets. These permits, which are usually geod for thirty days, are re- newed cach mcnth. It is the intention ot the police to limit the number of permits to sixteen, and the musictans will not he allowed on the streets after 9 o'clock p.m. A few days ago complaint was made against a woman who holds a permit be cause, the complainant alleged, her hus- band owns two farms. and it is not neces- sary for her to play on the street. When her permit is returned for renewal, the case may be investigated. ENJOYED THEMSELVES Washington Correspondents as Guests of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Several Days Spent Down by the Sea— Without an Unpleasant ‘The party of Washington correspondents, with the ladies of their families, who took part in the annual outing to Cape May tendered by the Pennsylvania railroad, re- turned tc Washington yeeterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Every one was well, all were delighted with the trip and its pleas- ures, and {t was a sunburned and jolly crowd that filed into the 6th street station. The company left Washington last Fri- Gay morning on a speelal train, in charge of Mr. C. Studds, passerger agent for the scutheastern district, whose presence dur- ing the entire trip added a great deal to the pleasure of the participants. At Balti- more a delegation of newspaper people from that city was taken aboard, and the train stretched away for Philadelphia. On this part of the road the train did some fest running, making a large portion of the distance at the rate of thirteen miles in fifteen minutes. Lunch was served in the Broad street station at Philadelphia ard forty minutes were devoted to mani- festing appreciation of the way the Penn- sylvana railroad can provide for its guests. The party received additions at Philadel- phia, and several cars were added to the train. Mr. George W. Boyd, assistant gea- eral passenger agent, and Mr. Barksda'e cf the literary bureau of the road also Joined the company there. The run down to Cape May was made in quick time, and by a little after 4 o'clock the majority of the visitors were in the surf. At Cape May the excursionists were entertained at the Stockton Hotel. They were guests of the Pennsylvania railroad in every sense of the word and were made to feel very much at home. For the time being they owned ev- erything in sight of Cape May, including the bathing houses, street car line and the yachts at Sewell's Point. Their stay at the Stockton Hotel was rendered pleasanter by the fact that the house has just been painted and renovated throughout, and everything is spick and span and bright as a new pin. Although tt required nine cars to transport the com- peny to Cape May, the people seemed, in comparison, to appear as no more than a corporal's guard in the spacious halls and wide lobbies of the great hotel. Saturday and Sunday were two ideal days as far as the weather was concerned, but there were not enough hours in them to enable the people to extract all the pleas- ure which the opportunities afforded. Sat- urday morning after breakfast the com- pany broke up into little groups. Some went yachting out to sea, others went fish- ing. others bicycling along the firm sand of the beach at the edge of the rolling break- ers. All during the forenoon and after- noon the bathing beach was patronized. If the beach at Cape May is not the finest on the Atlantic coast it certainly cannot be surpassed by any other, and the surf bathing was superb. The water was de- ghtful, just cool enough to brace one and make one feel Ike turning handsprings on the beach. The sands presented an ani- mated appearance during the day, with the brignt-colored parasols and the light dres es of the ladies dotting the beach in every direction, and the picturesque costumes of the bathers who spent as much time frol- ickinz on shore as they did in the water. Saturday night a hop was given in the bali room, and Sunday night the orchestra ren- dered a sacred concert. Some practical jokers among the corre- spondents who stayed at home came near causing a stampede by firing a volley of telegrams containing the startling informa- tion that Consul General Lee had been as- saulted in Havana, the American flag tram- pled, and that trouble was imminent. The Wires were warm for a few minutes with the exchange of telegrams until the “fake” Ww: expleded, and the railway time cards, which had been consulted with a view to ge‘tine back to the capital in a hurry, were dropped. ‘Tae company left Cape May yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and made a quick and pleasant Journey home, stopping at the Broad street station for lunch. There was not an unpleasant incident to mar the trip at any time, and the veterans safd that this particular annual outing given by the | Pennsylvania railroad was one of the most delightful of the series, stretching over a number of years. pe Special 4th of July Rates via Penn- sylvanin Railrond.

O'Meagher Con- don from Portland prison was the largest ever sent to the Capitol, it containing over 000,000 names, including those of the gov- ernors, members of state legislatures and other officials of nearly every state in the Union. Capt. Condon had been sentenced to death for the rescue of two American officers from their British escort in Man- chester, England, during the Fenian ex- citement of 1 but the United States government, through Secretary Seward, having made a determined and thrice re- peated protest against his execution, he was respited, and his sentence finally com- muted to imprisonment for life. ‘The peti- tion produced the desired effect. Congress passed a joint resolution urging President Hayes to take prompt action in the matter, and he cheerfully complied, with the result that the prisoner was released, after eleven years’ incarceration. ——-—_ — Reduced Rates to San Francisco via Pennsylvanin Railroad On account of meeting of Christian En- €eavor convention, tickets will be sold uatil July 2 at greatly reduced rates.—Advt. — Saved by Luck of Evidence.

One of the children was a witness against him. ‘The defendant denied the charge, and pro- duced witnesses to prove his good reputa- tion and character. He admitted that he had been drinking. Judge Kimball and Prosecuting Attorney Pugh agreed that Stanton could not be con- victed on the unsupported testimony of one child, so the case was dismissed. —__— Friendship Lodge ans Host.

COLUMBIA THEATER.—Another new Piece called forth a large audience at the Columbia Theater last night. It was cn- titled “A Bad Lot,” and the description certainly did not apply to the actors who Produced the comedy. The authors are Ed- ward and Harry Paulton. These indefat- igable gentlemen have woven a series of lu- dicrous complications around Jonas Clutter- buck, a middle-aged, amiable gentleman, who is forced by circumstances for which he is not to blame, to regard himself as a villain. Mr. Barrows plays this. part with his customary efficiency. not an inspiration. It is a bit of mechan- ism, in which results are reached by the use ef well-known material, readjusted. Ingeuity is shown in the calculations by which cams of humor and cogs of char- acter are fitted to one another. But there is no new principle of mirth involved in any part of the piece. Mr. Geoffrey Stein came to the front once more in the role of a volatile Frenchman. Kate Denin Wilson played the role of a lady of mature years, but ardent disposition, with vim and intel- ligence, and Mr. William Boag drew a splendidly strong picture of the irascible type, in his impersonation of Major Tenby Currie. Miss Pearl Evelynne was irresist- ible in the gentle, unassuming claim for ap- preciation which she made in a compara- tively small part. The temperature of the theater is not uncomfortable, and the cus- tom of passing ice water between the acts is a good one, which should be developed to practicable proportions. THE CINEMATOGRAPH.—Willard Hall opened last night with the Cinematograph, and there was a good audience in attend- ance, and a most appreciative one. These pic- tures are of the usval type of photographs that move, but they have one marked su- periority over all others, and that is they may be reversed and people may see how it looks for the whole world to move the other way. It is funny, too, uproariously funny, and with a peculiar feeling as if, as one man put it, he “had ‘em again.” The pictures of the Cinematograph now on exhibition comprise all the popular subjects with an addition in realistic effects, such as the ringing of bicycle bells, the clanging of street car gongs and all the other charac- teristic sounds of motion. The train mov- ing into a station and discharging its load of passengers and a view of the tumbling ves at the seashore cre especially good, in one where some workmen push over a wall, with a cry of “Look out,” and a crash of falling debris, the effect is so real that the audience is strongly disposed to get up and run. The Cinematograph wiil be exhibited at 2:30, 4: 3 p.m. CLOSE OF THE OPERA SEASON.—The Castle Square Opera Company closed its summer season at the Lafayette Square Opera House Saturday nighi. The audi- erce covld not have been larger, for every seat was occupied and the standing space as also filled, ard the enthusiasm was very great. All the favorites were loudly applauded as they made their appearance and the familiar numbers, both in “Pina- fcre” and in “Cavalleria Busticana,” were received with more than usual demonstra- tion. When the curtain went down on Mascagui's tragic work there were cheers and hand clapping, and on the curtain’s being raised the entire company was as- sembled on the stage and sang “Auld Lang Syne,” in which the big audience heartily joined. The season was remarkably suc- cessful and reflected great credit upon Mr. Wm. Wolff, the general director; Mr. Chas. M. Southwell, general manager, and Mr. D. H. Hennessy, the resident man- ager. These gentlemen handled the ma- terial at their command with good judg- ment, and all under the direction of Mr. Henry W. Savage, the proprietor of the several companies that go to make up the complete Castle Square Opera organiza- tien. Mr. S:vage has demonstrated that from a business point of view opera in Engiish can be rade to pay. No one gues into a theatrical enterprise from philanthropic motives. It {s a cold business proposition and Mr. Savage has shown that good opera can be given by good people at moderate prices with a fair return for the money invested. It was first demonstrated in Boston, then in Philadelphia, where the company has now been singing for over @ year, and the experimental season here proved a success. It is understood that the Baltimore venture was slso success- ful. It is understood tiat next season the Castle Square Opera Company will be a permanent institution in this city. Whether it will make its home at the Lafayette Square, the scene of its recent success, is not yet determined, but wierever it be- gins, there it should stay. Mr. Savage is, howvever, shrewd enough to understand that, and his general Girector, Mr. Wolff, has had many years of experience not only as an opera singer, but as a caterer to operatic taste on the part of the public. It is understood that Mr. Savage will send a company to Atlantic City, opering there July 12, for a season of three weeks. THE STATHAM TESTIMONIAL.—A very good attendance was present at the testi- mynial concert given Mr. H. T. Statham at the Columbia Theater Sunda night. The Program was enjoyable and was listened to with close attention and evident appre- ciation, every number receiving a goodly share of applause. Mr. Statham’s solo, “Il Pedogo,” from I Pagliacci, was one of the features, while Mr. Meiville Hensey’s tenor solo from Martha was also much enjoyed. Mrs. Daisy Louise Fox and Miss Georgia Barrett were to have played a piano duet, but on account of illness Mrs. Fox could not appear. Others who contributed num- bers to the entertainment were Mrs. Anna Craig Hills, soprano; Miss Blanche Muir, contralto; Mr. Cohen, violinist: the Gluck quartet, consisting of Misses Muir and AtLée, and Messrs. Field and Statham: Mr. Harry Murdock, tenor; the Umlaaf zither quartet, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Ruprecht, Miss Alice Henkel and Mr. W. H. Andrews, assisted by Prof. W. H. Santlemann and Miss Fannie York AtLee. A chorus, consisting of Mrs. Hills, Miss Muir, Miss AtLee, Mrs. Kap- pler, Miss Bessie Driver and Messrs. Jones, Murdock and Statham, added materially to the enjoyment of the evening. —— Reduced Rates to Intercollezinte Boat Races via Pennsylvanin Ralleond.

Electric Company Laying Wires. For several days past the United States Electric Light Company has had a gang of laborers employed in laying wires in its underground conduits on M and 32d streets, preparatory to resuming operations for an- other year. The company has been award- ed the contract for the work of illuminat- ing this section of the city, the contract commencing July 1. While the old poles were left standing, a cross-arm has been placed on them, so as to throw the arc light out nearer the middle of the street, giving more illumination than under the old plan.

A Specimen of the Guild Receives a| George Shields, Alleged Thief, Tamp- Jail Sentence. A typical tramp of the class which the Walter Jones Company made familiar to theater-goers moved to the rail of the Police Court dock today when the clerk called “Harry Goodwin.” ‘The individual wore clothes which were tattered and torn, and his shoes were full of holes—and feet; his countenance was obscured by a three~weeks’ growth cf beard, and, from appearances, Harry is as much of a stranger to water as he is to the Secretary of State. Allin all, the man was the trampiest tramp, in every 4etail and particular, seen in this locality for a long time. “Guilty,” gurgled Harry, when arraigned as a vagrant. “Ordinary case?” inquired the court. “No, sir,” replied Policeman Cox, who made the arrest; “very much out of the ordinary. I have a littie girl here who will explain to your honor the conduct of this defendant.” Grace Thomas, seven years of age, then took the stand. “This tramp came to our house on 2d street yesterday,” she said, “and asked me for something to eat. He grabhed me by the dress and came in the house, closing the door behind him. I cried and my sister ran after a policeman.” “When I reached the house,” stated Policeman Cox, “I found the man in the kitchen, he having forced his way there and closed the door behind him, to the great alarm of the inmates. When I asked him what he was doing there he replied: “That's my business and yours to find out.’ ” “Sixty days,” was all the court had to say. rs $5.00 Excursions to the Sen- $5.00 shore vin Pennsylvanin Railrond.
