James Norris in Jail Awaiting Ac-} Chief Justice Bingham Rebukes the tion of Grand Jury. “Not guilty,” was the plea of James Norris, colored, today in the Police Court, when arraigned on a charge of false pre- tenses. The information set forth that yesterday Norris falsely pretended to Har- riet Minor that he had a hog and a barrel of flour at the boat wharf, and that if she would give him $ to pay the freight he would send her the flour and hog and a turkey. Harriet parted with her “fiver” and dis- covered later much to her indignation, that Norris did not possess a barrel of flour or a hog or a turkey. In fact, several wit- nesses testified that Norris has been in the habit of some time past of “‘fllm flam- ming” colored people by the same means. Without hearing the defendant's version of the affair, Judge Kimball sent him to jail, in default of $500, to await the action of the grand jury. ———_ AMUSEMENTS. NEW NATIONAL THEATER. — Last night Mr. Jefferson changed his bill and was seen in the character of Caleb Plum- mer, in the dramatization of Dickens’ story. “The Cricket on tie Hearth.” It is prob- able that his inm-personation of the old toy maker was never received with more en- thusiasm, and when the curtain went down on the last act he was recalled again and egain, and finally was compelled to make a@ speech, which was reminiscent in char- acter and felicitous in expression. He re- ferred to the fact that he had first played in Washington sixty years ago, and that he was probably now furnishing entertain- ment to the grandchildren of those who had seen him in his early career. The privilege cf thus appearing before three Generations was a source of great gratifi- cation to him, and the warm welcome that had been extended to him during this en- gagement proved that he retained his old friends and was constantly gaining new ones. His remarks were greeted with en- thusiastic applause. Of his Caleb Plummer it is unnecessary to speak. He has made ‘the part peculiarly his own, and since the death of John E. Owens no one beside Jefferson has attempted the character. It affords opportunity for pathos as well as humor, and full advantage is taken of this by Mr. Jefferson. He was ably sup- ported by Mr. Theodore Hamilton, Harry Meredith, Joseph Warren, Rosabel Morri- son. Blanche Bender and Corinne Jackson. The last named was an admirable Tilly Slowboy, and next to Mr. Jefferson found most favor with the audience. Mr. Jeffer- son was also seen as Mr. Golightly in the farce “Lend Me Five Shillings,’ which sent the audience away in excellent hu- eens same bill will be repeated to- nig) —_———_ RECEIVERS DISCHARGED. Court Order Affecting Baltimore Catonsville Construction Co. An order was issued yesterday by Judge Dennis at Baltimore finally discharging Messrs. T. Edward Hambleton, James Bond and Richard Morton as receivers for the Baltimore and Catonsville Construc- tion Company, which, as already known, is practically the same corporation as the Columbia and Maryland Railway Company. Following upon the discharge of the re- ceivers a deed was placed on record from the Baltimore and Catonsville Construc- tion Company to the Columbia and Mary- land Railroad Company, conveying to the latter company, in consideration of $5, all the agreements which were formerly enter- ed into for the construction of the electric railway between Washington and Balti- more. Previous to the issuance of the order the receivers discharged all undisputed claims of creditors and gave bond in $50,000 to secure the payment of all disputed claims, when «djusted. —__.__—_ Mrs, Dudicy’s Funeral. Fuueral services over the remains of the late Mrs. W. W. Dudley will be held to- morrow afterncon at 3:30 o'clock at the family residence, 1212 18th street north- west. Rev. R. S. W. Wood will officiate. Messrs. Louis T. Michener, Frank L. Browne and Maj. Batley, who are associ- ates in business with Gen. Dudley; Mr. Frank Wheeler, Mrs. Dudley's cousin; Mr. James Sperry, Gen. Dudley’s cousin, and Gen. Pitkin will act as pallbearers. Three of Gen. Dudley’s four sons are to be pres- ert—William, Charles and George—but the eldest, Mr. John Dudley, register of the land office at Sitka, Alaska, cannot reach the city in time. In compliance with Mrs. Dudley's wish, the ceremony will be pri- vate. The interment is to take place at Oak Hill. == ‘Trained Nurses Hold a Meeting. The Alumnae Association of the Garfield Memorial Hospital Training School for Nurses held a meeting at the Victoria Flats yesterday, at which there was a fair | attendance. The executive committee ar- ranged for the re@ling of a paper on the subject, ‘Nursing as an Avocation for Ed- ucated Women.” The subject for discussion at the next meeting will be “The Modern Method of Diagnosing Enteric Fever.” ‘Tea was cerved as a social feature of the meeting yestcrday, after which the asso- ciation adjourned to meet at 1314 I street December 8 Mr. Hannis Taylor’s Lecture. Notwithstanding the bad weather a Jarge audience assembled in McMahon Hall of Philosophy at the Catholic University yesterday afternoon to listen to a lecture on “The Growth and Development of the Constitution of the United States,” deliver- ed by Mr. Hannis Taylor, ex-minister to Spain. Mr. Taylor was introduced by Mgr. Conaty, rector of the university, and spoke without notes, the lecture occupying about an hour. It dealt with about the same facts as those which would be given in a law school lecture, introductory to a course in constitutional jurisprudence, giving in detail the incidents and circumstances that suggested the several features of the great document, as well as a history of the com- promises that were necessary to an agree- ment on the instrument. —_—— Hand Mashed. H. C. Stokes, a brakeman on the Balti- r.ore and Potomac railroad, while coup- ling cars in the New Jersey avenue freight yard about 7 o'clock last night, had his right hand caught between the bumpers and.it was so badly mashed it may have to be amputated. Policeman Hughes took him to Providence Hospital for treatment. a Returned to Asylum. Abraham L. Howard, the former col- ored messenger in the Post Office Depart- ment, who escaped from the insane asylum several weeks ago, was found last night by Detective Lacy and sent back to St. Eliz- abeth’s. The young man appeared per- fectly rational while at police headquar- ters, and spoke in the highest terms of the asylum officials. He said he had received the kindest treatment at the hands of the doctors and attendants, but he got tired of being detained there and left to visit his friends. a!

Brooks, the 24th of last August, by falsely pretending that she was chtain- ing them for her former employer, Mrs. Effic J. Herron, was released today by Chief Justice Bingham upon her personal recognizance, sentence suspended during her good behavior. = The district attorney recommended such, @ course in view of the woman's previous good character, and in consideration of the fact that she had been imprisoned since the day of the occurrence. Crime of Perjury. Chief Justice Bingham, sitting in Crim!- nal Court No. 1, today administered a se- vere blow to the practice of false swear- ing, which, it is claimed, prevails to an alarming extent in the Police Court. He sentenced Abraham Coleman and Rosa Blue for that offense to four and two years, respectively, in the New Jersey state prison at bard lebor. Coleman, a young colored man, was tried in the Police Court the 17th of last Sep- tember on a charge of disorderly conduct, and during the course of the trial he tes- tified that he did not assault the woman in the case, a young colored girl, the 24th of last August, and was unacquainted with her at that time. The girl gave similar testimony in the Police Court, and it trans- piring that both had sworn falsely they were indicted and promptly convicted. In moving for sentence Assistant District Attorney Baker stated that perjury has be- come so ccmmon and notorious in the Po- lice Court that the government had de- cided to ask for the imposition of a severe sentence in each case. Chief Justice Bing- ham, after referring to perjury as one of the most dangerous of offenses, told Cole- iaan that he was entitled to little leniency. The woman claimed that she was com- pelled by the threats of Coleman to tes- tify as she did, and the chief justice re- marked that her story was probably true. Therefore, he imposed upon her the mini- mum penalty. Coleman received his sentence as a mat- ter of fact, while the woman was led sob- bing to the cage. —_—_ GOES TO REFORM SCHOOL. Daisy Russell Sent to the Institution for Incorrigibility. Datsy Russell, a good-looking colored child, fourteen ycars old, was sentenced to the reform school by Judge Kimball today, on a charge of incorrigibility. Tae girl was left, when an infant, on the door- step of the house of a colered woman named Maggie Russel:, and all her life she has lived as a member of the women’s family. It was not until today that Daisy learned the true story of her life. Mrs. Russell, whom she had always supposed was her aunt, appeared in court and told Bo. judge that Daisy was beyond her con- trol. “I’ve been sending her to school ever since she was old enough to go,” said Mrs. Russell, “und now she remains out late at night and runs the streets with boys.” Daisy made a denial of the charge, and told the court that she had been driven from home. It was evident that the girl had been given good treatment, and Judge Kimball thought a term in the reform school might do her good. The Popular Line to Baltimore Is the Pennsylvania railroad.

At a meeting of the District Woman's Suffrage Association at the Riggs House last evening it was decided to appoint a committee on the entertainment of dele- gates to the convention of the National Woman's Suffrage Association, which will meet in Washington next February, but the members were not named last night, as the president desired to consult with the ladies to ascertain who could best serve on this committee. Mrs. Carey Kent spoke of the necessity for a larger number of police matrons at police stations. The assistance of the as- sociation in securing from Congress the necessary appropriations for an increase in the number of matrons and in the member- ship of the force was promised. It was also determined that the association should ask the co-operation of the Federation of Women’s Clubs in having additional police matrons appointed. A paper was read by Mrs. ... Ward Burt and the president, Mrs. Thompson, stated that the junior suffragists were organized for the winter. SS Next Year's Lovely Calendars Free.

When theysput up their tent they called their temporary home “Camp Plenty,” but the resuit of the first day’s gunning trip showed that they had made a mistake, for one rabbit only was turned in. “Salt horse” had #o take the place of game. Soon after the camp was established the members of the party learned to their surprise that they were on dangerous ground, for not far from their quarters moonshiners had killed a revenue officer only about a year ago. It soon developed that they, too, were suspected of being government officers in disguise, and their welcome was not a hearty one. When they had given the moonshiners a good time, hewever, the latter received them at their homes and made life enjoyable. The friendship thus formed seemed to have the effect of increasing tkeir luck, for the next day, accompanied by some of the na- tives, they made a trip over the moun- tain and returned to camp with two ‘pos- sums, a dozen qrail and seven rabbits. The second night in camp was spent preparing the ‘possums for the next day’s feast, and the colored hosiler was enjoying the sweet anticipation of ‘possum and Sweet potatoes, when suddenly he heard @ peculiar noise some distance off in the woods. “That's a bear,” said Watson. “and he’s coming this way,” added an- other member of the party. Julius made instant preparations to de- sert. ’Possum nor friends had any claims upon him just then, butthe suddenly re- membered the darkness, and between fear of the bear and dread of the night trip he lapsed into a state of abject misery. It was only when he had been reassured by other members of the party thet he was enabled to again enjoy the prospect of "pos- sum meat, promised for the next day. The camp will break up tomorrow, and the members of the party will return home. Scrofula Swollen Glands, Scrofula Sores, Hip Disease, Boils, Pimples, Eruptions Tell the Story.
