COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARKS The Citizens’ Association Petitions for In- creased Breathing Space. Protest Against Extra Express Fees— Resolutions of Sympathy Address- ed to Capital Traction Company. The first meeting this fall of the Colum- bia Heights Citizens’ Association was held last evening in St. Stephen’s Parish Hall, lith street near Kenesaw avenue. Presi- dent M. A. Ballinger presided, and the usual amount of routine business was transacted. Dr. Gibbs, chairman of the special com- mittee appointed to secure the setting apart of the ground at lith street and Co- lumbia road as a park, made a report, stat- ing that the committee had filed a petition with the District Commissioners setting forth the necessity of such a breathing space and calling attention to the fact that in section 1 cf the proposed plan of high- Way extension there have been set apart but tweaty parks, while in the city there are no less than 218. The report was re- ceived, and the committee continued, with instructions to present the petition to. Con- gress. The committee was also instructed to secure, if possible, the setting apart of ground at the corner of 13th and Colum- bia streets, and the Mattingly and Lenman properties, as parks. Fees for Expressage. Dr. E. M. Hasbrouck calied attention to what he and other members termed is an imposition on the people of Columbia Heights and other sections north of Flori- da avenue by the express companies in charging extra for goods delivered in those sections. He stated that nowhere else are extra charges demanded, and he thought that the association should take steps to stop the practice, pointing out that people living at the Navy Yard,three miles distant from the center of tne city, are not charged extra fees, while the people of Columbia Heights, but a mile and a half distant, are made to pay extra. President Ballinger explained that he and other members of the association have done all they possibly could to secure the aboli- tion of extra charges, but had been unsuc- cessful, and while the agents of the two express companies are in favor of such a change, it is apparent that on!y by appeal to the directors of the companies can such a result be obtained, if, indeed, at all. Mr. Ballinger also asserted that people in other cities—New York, Chicago and Philadel- phia, for instance,—are charged extra ac- cording to distance,an assertion which other members controverted. He stated further that it would cost the companies at least $1,200 each a year to collect between them about $700 worth of business in all the sub- urban sections of the District. Upon the motion of Mr. Bundy the matter was disposed of by the appointment of Dr. Hasbrouck and Messrs. Campbell, McCal- mont, Carter, Meyers, Holmead and Todd, as a special committee to investigate the matter and secure, if possible, city rates for the Columbai Heights section. Unsightly Poles. Mr. Campbell stated that during the past several days unsightly telegraph and other poles have been erected on Princeton street. He believed that their erection is unneces- Sary and inexcusable, and, upon his mo- tion, the executive committee was instruct- ed to investigate the matter. Messrs. Husted and Bundy each present- ed resolutions expressive of the sympathy of the association with the Capital Trac- tion Company in the loss of the company’s power house, and also expressing the con- fidence of the association in the efforts of the company to provide in the future the best possible means of transportation for the people of the section. Mr. Husted’s resolution was adopted, the other being withdrawn; and then, upon the motion of Mr. Bundy, the association approved the Senate bill providing for the extension of the Metropolitan road from’ 9th street up Sherman avenue and through Mt. Pleasant to the terminus of the road at 18th street and Columbia road, although Secretary Simmons expressed little confidence in the present management of the road, believing that the Belt line should be encouraged to extend its lines into that section. Street Extension Cases. Upon the motion of Mr. O'Donoghue, the executive committee was instructed to ask the District Commissioners to lay a three- beard sidewalk on Sherman avenue from Florida to Whitney avenues, and, upon the motion of Mr. Bundy, the association re- quested the Commissioners to do all in their power toward securing a disposition of the street extension cases, that the people may know 2s soon as possible what lands are to be taken. Mr. A. J. Morning called attention to the overcrowded condition of the Mt. Pleasant school, and he was made chairman of the ccmmittee on education, with instructions to inquire into the matter and take what- ever steps should be found necessary. The following persons were elected to membership: George Redway, William Sel- by, J. Whit Herron, Chas. H. Calvert, H. R. Evans, A. B. Wells, John Mitchell, F. D. Gardner, George R. Currier and George W. Lang. ————— Sale of Antique and Modern Furniture at Sloan's Next Week.

Some residents of Twining City are com- P’aining of the location of the school for the accommodation of the younger chil- dren. The room is over Robert Bradbury's feed store, and there is also a grocery store in the building. A resident of Twining City, in conversation with a Star reporter, said that there are forty-three children in the school, and should a fire occur in the store beneath them, some of them would prob- ably get hurt. “I have a child in the school,” he said, “and I'm in constant fear that something will happen.” z Superintendent _ Powell, in his report, printed in Monday's Star, referred to the School in these words: “Twining City suburb has no school house. The citizens have had to suffer hardship by sending their children into the city over the Pennsylvania avenue bridge, or to Anacostia, the nearest school to them being a long distance for little children to walk. We are the current year renting a second-story room for the accommodation of small children, in which there are forty- three pupils In attendance, but the room is not fit for school use. A two-room building would undoubtedly serve for several years, but it is thought that it would not be ecenomy or wisdom to erect a building having less than four rooms.” Mr. Bradbury, the owner of the building, said he had made alterations to the build- ing which, he thought, rendered it perfect- ly safe. It has been stated that explosives are kept in his store. This, he admitted, is true, but the explosive is a single can of powder, and this is kept in a place behind glass, to prevent the possibility of an ac- cident. So far as he is concerned, he said, he would be only too glad to see a school building erected, but until one is erected he thought his hall was about the best place for the school, and its location in the village will save the children the long tramps to Anacostia during the coming winter. When the Citizens’ Association meets next month the question of getting an ap- propriation for a school building for this section will be discussed, and Congress will be asked to make the necessary ap- propriation. —_.

The popularity of the stars is shown by the numerous requests for places, even at this early date, and Manager Al- baugh has arranged to reserve seats either by mail or telephone, until tomorrow morn- irg, when the regular sale begins. The story of “The Wedding Day’ has an his- torical incident for its foundation, but this has no particular serious aspect and no at- tempt is made to rivet the attention of the audience to it. Comic situations and wit and humor have been the main ideas of the author of the took. Lillian Russell plays the part of a Frerch gentlowoman intrust- ed with a political mission. Mr. De An- gelis is a baker who becomes entangled in her schemes to obtain the copy of the treaty cf the rebellious Frondists before they can secure the signature of the King of Spain. Miss Fox plays the bride, on whose wedding day the incidents in the story occur. PRIMROSE AND WEST.—The manage- ment of minstrel companies has of late years become a matter of great difficulty, owing to the fact that so much has been done that there practically remains little of novelty that can be introduced into this kind of entertainment. Messrs. Primrose and West, however, whose crganization will play an engagement of one week at the New National Theater, commencing next Monday, have, as it were, grown up in minstrel manegement, and have always not only been up in the times, but just a little ahead of them. It is promised that when they make their annual appearance here it will be with a company second to none that they have ever exploited, both as to comedians ard singers, and also as to novelties in the way of clever specialties. Of course, Geo. H. Primrose will endeavor to amuse the audience in his usual taking way with new songs and parodies and an entirely new specialty. Of the others the long lst is headed by George Wilson, whose “single turn” never fails to affect the risibilities of the audience. It is said that Mr. Wilson will have an entirely new stock of jokes, while Milt G. Barlow will, no doubt, be fcund te be little behind in originality. Raymon Moore will contrib- ute a number of new and taking melodies, some of them from his own pen. Another feature of the long program is the act of the Quaker City Quartet, an organization ef singers who will be seen in a pleasing specialty called the “Musical Blacksmiths,” in which they will sing a number of new songs and play on different instruments. “CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA.” — The most pretentious bill of the opera season at the Columbia so far will be given next week by the Castle Square Opera Company. “Cavalleria Rusticana’’ will be magnifi- cently presented with a remarkably strong cast of principals and a splendid singing chorus, preceded at each performance by that fetching operatic gem “‘Billee Taylor” The Castle Square Opera Company finds no difficulty in giving these widely divergent works as one evening’s entergainment, al- though either would be abundant for any ordinary company. in the “Billie Taylor” cast will be seen the sew prima donna so- prano, Mme. Elizabeth Le Sassier. She is said to possess a powerful high soprano voice, which she uses with splendid effect. She will make her debut with this com- pany and also in this city in the role of “Phoebe.” Otkers in this cast will be Liz- zie Macnichol, Joseph Sheehan, Melvilie Stewart, William Wolff, Arthur Wooley, Gertrude Quinlan and Emma King. The “Cavalleria Rusticana’” cast will be prac- tically the same as when this work was given here last spring, and which made such a great impressicn at taat time. It will include, however, Miss Lizgie Mac- richol in the role of Lola this time. Miss Grace Golden “ill again sing the role of Santuzza and Joseph Sheehan will be the Turriddu, a role in which he completely captured Washington. Mr. Melville Stew- art will sing the role of Alfio, and it is considered by many to be his greatest ef- fort. Miss Florence Metcalf will not be found wanting in the important role of Lucia. Miss Metcalf is a contralto, who is said to give a fine performance of the role. Both productions will be appropriately mounted, as is the custom with this or- ganization. The chorus work will undoubt- edly be a feature in both operas. “BO-PEEP.". '—A big extravaganza com- pany, known as Stirling & Bowles’ ‘‘Bo- Peep,” will be the attraction at the Acad- emy next week. The production is of the school of “Jack and the Bean Stalk,” ‘The Whirl of the Town” and other affairs of like character. The book is said to be re- markably well written, and deals with an interesting tale, made up of bright comedy lines. The music is also highly spoken of. The cast is a strong one, including such names as Jessie Villars, Eleanor Elton, Georgia Stewart, Nada Alvers, Jessica Duncan, Dorothy Lester, Estelle Ward, Helen Hail, Norma Mendia, Lillian Dip- yeat, Mabell Fyffe, Marion Garrett, Bea- trice Moulin, Robert Dailey, F. J. Mc- Carthy, Horace Thrum, W. P. Mollaire, Wm. Gould, Harry Ladell, Lottie Vincent and many others, to say nothing of the well-trained chorus of thirty-five. The scenery is carried by the company for the entire performance. HE SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK.’ the Sidewalks of New York,” Thomas H. Davis and William T. Keogh’s successful production, is full of broad comedy humor. While retaining the sensational and thrill- ing features of the traditional melodrama, it creates laughter rather than tears. This play, which enjoyed a great run in New York, comes to the Grand Opera House next week. Its popularity is doubtless due to its startling and realistic scenes, vivid plot and rapid action. Paul J. Tustin, who enjoys the reputation of having made the highest dive in the world, makes a tre- mendous dive from the top of the stage into a tank of shallow water. For the mo- ment he represents the hero by proxy. This novel scene evokes unbounded enthusiasm and applause. Another much applauded feature is the Herald Square scene. RENTZ-SANTLEY BURLESQUE COM- PANY.—Manager Kernen’s attraction at the Lyceum next week will be the Rentz- Santley Burlesque and Novelty Company. “A World of Pleasure’ is the title of the burlesque, which runs through the entire performance, being presented in thirteen scenes. The plot of the bur- lesque (it really has a plot). carries the audience through many interest- ing incidents and situations, which are made humorous by the work of several clever comedians. Among the scenes pre- sented are the club room of the Midnight Club, on board an American yacht, the Rocky mountains, Coney Island, a scene of Paris by night, and several others equal- ly as picturesque. The company includes Tyrene and Evaline, Frances Namon, Jos. J. Sullivan, Harry Marion, Frank Ham- mond, Harry Bewley and Violet Barney, the sisters Engstrom, Carrie Webber and Lottie Elliott. THE MT. PLEASANT JUVENILES.— The many friends and admirers of the Mt. Pleasant Military Field Band will have an opportunity on next Sunday of testifying to their friendship and admiration of this organization, on which occasion two testi- monial benefits will be given them by the management of the Glen Echo Amphithea- ter. A brilliant program has been arrang- ed, which will, of course, include the full band of ninety-one members, also several soloists. both instrumental and vocal, and an organ recital by Prof. Leo Wheat. The afternoon performance will commence promptly at 3% o'clock, and the evening per- formance at 8 o'clock. —_— Oriental Rugs From Old Carpets.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Arrest of Charled@rosk on a Charge of Em- begzling Funds. Was an Employeiof the Bell Tele- phone Compasy in Atlanta— General and Personal. Eventing Star Bureau, No. 529 King St., Bell Telephone, No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Wa., October 6, 1897. Charles Crook,:a well-known young Alex- andrian, was arrested by Officers, Knight ard Bettis as he alighted from the Sea- beard Air Line train, at 10:52 o'clock last night, charged with embezzlement. The arrest was made on a warrant sworn out by Mr. Wythe White, manager of the Bell Telephone Company of this city. Mr. White received a telegram from Mr. W. T. Gentry, manager of the Bell Telephone Company, at Atlanta, Ga., requesting young Crook's arrest for embezzlement. q Crook left here about six months ago to accept the position in Atlanta. He says he lost $56 belonging to the company, and had restored all but $16. He also says he had an appointment with Mr. Gentry to go over the books, but realizing that he would be arrested as soon as the shortage was discovered, he decided to take the first train for home, preferring to be arrested here rather than in Atlanta. Wien the case was called in the police ccurt this morning, Mr. White asked that it be postponed until he could hear further frem Atlanta, and the request was granted. Police Court. In the police court this morning Jack Masters, charged with stealing an “ark” from John Cowhig, was dismissed, the war- rant having been withdrawn.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: It appears very strange to me that in all the cortroversies and heated debates that have followed the advent of Darwin's “Or- igin of Species” and “Descent of Man” no one has brought ferward the words of the inspired poet. The readers of The Star will find in the 139th Psalm, from the 34th to the 16th verses, a clear exposition of the theory of evolution. These verses follow: “I will praise Tkee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. “My substance was not hid from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. “Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in Thy book all my membera were written which in continu- ance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.” Of course the psalmist gives no details; that is left for the student; but the words show clearly that rothing’ was hid from the inspired miad of the great king, from whose house was to be raised up the Savior of the world.

It was the time te elect officers fer the ensuing year, and a number of the members were rresent. President J. W. Bebson, who has served the association faithfully for seven years as its presiding officer, positively declined re-election, and Mr. Thomas W. Smith was acco-dingly elected his successor. In an interesting and irstructive 14diress, Fresident Babson reviewed the work done by the association during the past year, and spoke highly of the several commit- tces which, by their hearty co-operation, had accemplished so much for the castern section of the city.

He also introduced a resolution asking Congress .to pass a law prohibiting the sale of beer in kegs by the breweries on Sundays. Both were referred to the proper committees. : President Smith stated he would name the committees at the next meeting of the association.
