The com- piainan: is represented by Attorney Peyton Gerdon. POLICE CLERICAL FORCE Olerk Sylvester. Fiaancial Showing for the Past Year —Need of Storage Rooms and Office Facilities. Chief Clerk Sylvester of the police depart- ment made his annual report to Maj. Moore Saturday afternoon. The exhibit is of the operations of the clerical force, as well as what was done in the line of recovering property during the fiscal year. Twelve in- surance policies, amounting to $7,324, were paid. The financial exhibit {s as follows: Salaries paid, $574,505.26; fines, rewards, property sale, deposited, $1,051.95; collec- tions for uniforms, $12,395.97; charity dis- bursements, $6,121.76; verification of de- partment expenses, $21,860.52; verificafion of police pensions, $21,007.40; estimated value lost, stolen and abandoned property received, $32,199.98; police insurance pay- ments, $7,324. Total, $676,466.83. Record Methods. It might be proper to add that all rec- erds have been kept in accordance with the regulations and in a manner every way modern, so as to best facilitate the depart- ment and public requirements, The severai tants at headquarters have been fuith- ful and correct in the discharge of their respective duties, each and all of them evincing an unceasing interest in the dis- charge of the work assigned them. Of the $32,198.99, in lost, stolen or aban- doned property, distribition was made as follows: Delivered to owners by order of the court or upon proof of ownership, $26,- 2; delivered to claimants on bond, 54; destroyed, $31.25; sold, $4.75. Total, $20,5 Estimated value of re- mainder, $2,630.22. The necessary storage rooms for the Proper care of goods is and will continue to be wanting until the department is pro- vided with adequate quarters of its own se- lection. Not ouly are there insufficient stor- age accommodations, but the clerks are housed in office rooms illy adapted for the transaction of the increasing demands Taade upon their energies. Lost, stolen and abandoned bicycles make up a large percentage of the property dis- posed of by this office. This is evidenced by perusal of the numbers of them received under the score of different names which attach to them. The Bicycle Question. Referring to the bicycle question, after mentioning that 183 wheels were stolen during the year, Mr. Sylvester says: ~ The registration of bicycles and bicycle lamps, officially, would not only materially enhance the District revenues, but would aid in the recovery of such machines when lost, and in their identification after return to this branch of the department. Confiscated weapcns—A committee of em- ployes supervised the annual destruction of concealed weapons as ordered by the court under the existing law, but this wholesale disposition does not seem to have in any- wise decreased the number that are return- ed and confiscated by the police. ——— ee J.

R. C. Sewing Circle. The sewing circle of Lincoln W. R. C., No. 6, at its last meeting, unanimously elected Mrs. Lida Oldroyd directress for thé ersuing year. The meetings of the circle will hereafter be held at her residence, the house in which President Lincoln died. The ladies feel that the work of providing warm clothing for the needy old soldier and his dependent ones will now progress more rapidly and satisfactorily than heretofore. After a full supply of garments is ready for distribution, the circle will complete a silk quilt, one handsome and unique, the squares being contributed by members of the corps. It will be disposed of to the best advantage, and the proceeds placed in the relief fund. The committee having charge of the so- cial reunion, November 10, has completed arrangements. The program will be enter- taining, it is said. —— Played at the White House. Auguste Van Peine, the actor-musician whose performances upon the violoncello created great interest among musical peo- ple in this city last week, played at the White House Saturday evening at the re- quest of President and Mrs. McKinley, who had invited a number of friends to hear tim. He played a program of a high order, and finally, at the request of Mrs. McKin- ley, played “Home, Sweet Home.” The President thanked Mr. Van Beine for the pieasure he had given the company, and remarked: “Now I can see that what Jos- eph Jefferson said fs true—‘It is not art, but It is understcod that Mr. Van will return the last of this month seine and give a Sunday evening recital. — The dwelling at southeast corner of Rhode Isiand aver.ue and 10th street (920 Rhode Island avenue), will be sold by trus- tees at auction tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.

Nat'l Hotel, | | Annual Exhibit of Operations Made by Chief AMUSEMENTS, BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.— The program that has been arranged for the Boston Symphony Orchestra concert at the Lafayette Square Theater tomorrow af- ternoon at 4:15 o’cleck one of the most attractive that has ever Tesented by that estimable organiza‘ ae in this city. The first number will be‘Brahms’ “Academ- ic Overture,” which will be followed by Haydn’s Syrphony in C major, known as “The Bear,” and played for the first time at these concerts; Chabrier’s rhapsody for orchestra, “Espana,” also played for the first time, and Felix Weingartner’s arrange- ment for orchestra of Weber’s dainty com- position, “Invitation to the Dance,” which will, like the two preceding numbers, have its first presentation here. The soloist of the concert is Joseffy, whose name is suf- ficient to cause every music lover in Wash- ington apprehension lest the opportunity of hearing him should be He will Play Schumann’s concerto for the piano, a most difficult as well as beautiful work. It will be. seen that the program is well di- vided between the ciassic and “light” mu- sic, the “Espana” and “Invitation to the Dance” being two splendid waltzes, ar- ranged for orchestra in such a manner as to challenge the criticism of the ultra-class- ic, who have no desire to hear anything but the very deepest of work. The Brahms overture and Haydn symphony fill out this portion, leaving Joseffy as the central fig- vre. Reports of Joseffy’s work this season have been figttering in the extreme, much so as to inspire the belief that he is playing better this year than ever before. DR. STAFFORD ON “MACBETH.”’—Rev. Dr. Stafford’s lecture on “The Moral Lesson in Macbeth,” to be given at the Columbia Theater Sunday evening next for the ben- efit of the Carroll Institute, will doubtless attract much attenticn. The beneficiary of the lecture is in every way a worthy or- ganization, and its members and friends Will do the utmost in their power to make it a success, while the reputation of the speaker and the interest that his theme inspires will constitute the remaining part of the drawing power. Dr. Stafford is well known in his lectures on “Hamlet” and on “Macbeth,"’ and while his discourse on the former is fine, and while he is perhaps bet- ter known on that subject, his lecture on the lessons to be gained from Macbeth’s career are most sharply drawn and appeal to every thinker. The sale of seats for the lecture will begin tomorrow morning at Metzerott’s. S LECTURE POST- MRS. BEILER’: PONBD.—Mrs. Samuel L. Beiler’s lecture on ‘Alaska,’ announced for tomorrow evening at St. Paul's M. E. Church, has been postponed until Monday evening next cn account of the indisposition of the lec- turer. At that time Mrs. Beiler will give an interesting and most instructive talk on the resources of the country under discussion, paying particular attention to the Yukon and Klondike region. REV. MR.

Sacred music will be rendered by the quar- tet choir from St. Andrew's P. E. Church, under the directicn of Mr. Herndon Morsell. The selections will be “The Lord is My Shepherd,” G. A.

Encouraging reperts relating to the build- ing of a new Masonic Temple in this city were made to a meeting of the general com- mittee having thé:project in charge, held Saturday night at:the National Rifles’ Ar- mory. Chairman J. Henry Small, jr., pre- sided, with Mr. Howard Perry as secretary, and there was a large attendance, which showed lively interest in the proceedings.

Chapters of the East- ern Star of this jurisdiction were also given a similar invitation. It was decided to cre- ate an executive committee from the gen- eral committee to arrange for the fair.

Coughs and colds need not be en- dured; they can be cured, and that quickly. Many mixtures are temporary in effect, but Scott’s Emulsion of Cod- liver Oil with Hypophosphites is a permanent remedy. The oil feeds the blood and warms the body; the hypophosphites tone up the nerves; the glycerine soothes the inflamed throat and lungs. The combination cures. This may prevent serious lung troubles.
