Formation of Society for That Pur- pose—Entertainments im View— Progressive Euchre Party. A decidedly unique entertainment was given last evening in Typographical Tem- ple Hall, under the auspices of the card par- ties committee of the Young People’s He- brew Temple Society. The entertainment consisted of a progressive euchre party, for which tickets of admission were sold, as to a concert or ylay. As each holder of a ticket passed through the entrance to the hall, he or she was presented with a card, designating a section, table and seat. There we ten tables to a section and ten sec- tions. The ordinary game of progressive euchre was played, each section being sep- arate and distinct, but governed by a gen- eral head table, the sigral to progress sounded by its players being obeyed by the players of each section. Prizes were pro- vided for the individual sections. The attendance was large, and utmost gocd humor and deepest interest in the games prevailed. Many were present who did net play, but they apparently had quite as gocd a ume “looking on” as did the par- ticipants in the game. The final ring of the bell was sounded after about two hours of playing, and the uranimcus verdict was that the affair had been a huge, unqualified success. There was added pleasure in the distri- bution of prizes, the unlucky ones exhibit- irg no disappointment over the result. The Prize Winners. Prizes were won by the following: Section 1—Mrs. Emanuel Blout, silver bonnet brush; Louis Eiseman, box of ci- gars Section 2—Miss Josie Goodman, silver button kook; Miss Carrie Kaufman, case of creme. ection 3—Miss Bertha Wolf, silver shoe Sigmund Kaufman, silver-mounted umbrella. Section 4—Miss Blanche Strasburger, two table covers; Joseph Abel, silver-mounted cane. Donations of useful articles, some of which were used last evening, have been made to the society by the following: A. Nattans, A. Minster, L. Eiseman, M. and N. Luchs, Lansburgh and Bro., Bon Marche, Hart Rothschi A. Lisner, Kann's, King’s Palace, Baum’s, Saks & C J. E. and Rosentha larence Rei- zenstein, Galt’s, M. Goldsmith & Son, Koff, Richard & Co., M.

The Young People’s Temple Society was anized just one month ago, and already than tive hundred names on its roll of membership. It consists of young folks who are enlisted in the effort to add fund required for the completion of rew Temple on Sth street, the cor- ner stape of which was laid a short time ago. More money than was at first con- sid necessary, it has been found, is re- Guired te complete the edifice, and the yewnger element concluded to join forces and Iend a helping hand. The result is the Youn iety. The crganiza -fold object. One is to t in the completion of the t and the other is the am members. In order that interest and enthusiasm may not flag, a most ingenious system has heen followed in banding to- gether the workers. Meetings of the ciety as a whole are to be held once every three inonths, when, after the conclusion of routine business, the evening will be de- vored to pleasure’ and social enjoyment. The executive committee will meet once a month to suvervise the proceedings of the everal subcommittees. These committee will come together twice a month, or ofte! er, if need be. The amount paid in as dues will be devoted to covering the expenses of the society, while the proceeds of enter- are to be turned over to the committee in charge of the erec- tion of the temple. The ser! of entertainments, of which the progressive euchre party held last | evening w a part, will he under the di- rection of the several committees. These musical, home entertainment, card parties, dancing. lectures, member- ship, finance, publication and’ printing. Each committee originates and arranges the details of its entertainment, the exec- utive committee supervising all plans, in uard against a conflict of dates ndesirable features. Behrend entertained the mbers of the society at her home |; , through the medium of a most enjo: musicale, while arrangements are ng favorably for another enter- tainment next week.

An order of considerable importance was signed yesterday by Judge I. G. Kimball and Judge Charles F. Scott of the Police Court. It is as follows: “It is hereby ordered that no person shall be taken as a bondsman in any case in the Police Court who Is at the time bondsman in five other cases, or who has an unsettled forfeited bond.” It is understood that the order was passed for the purpose of prohibiting a business that the court officials say has be- come odious in its character—that of pro- fessional bondsmen. o man Who is of the character of a professional bondsman,” stated Assistant District Attorney Pugh to a Star reporter, ‘should be accepted as bondsman in any ca. Important 0: the other hand, however, several prominent attorneys take the stand that the order cannot hold, for, they say, if a man is properly qualified he must be ac- cepted as bondsman, no matter on how many other bonds he is serving. _—-— A Pretty Turn Out.

The question of whether or not there shall be a sale of the Belt Line railroad be- cause of a default in the interest on certain bonds of the road, the consideration of which has been postponed by Judge Cox several times at the request of counsel, was again postponed today, the matter going over until tomorrow morning. With it was also postpone the matter of the issuance by Receiver Schoepf of certificates to cover expenses incurred in operating the road. Mr. John Ridout, representing the road, earnestly insisted upon the immediate con- sideration of the questfon of certificates, explaining that the employes of the road are in dire need of funds. He also ex- pressed his readiness to have the other question at once disposed of, saying that the absence of Mr. A. S. Worthington, of sounsel on the other side, was not good reason for a postponement, as his oppo- nents’ associates, Messrs. Wilson and Brown, were present. Mr. Ridout also stated that unless the receiver be author- ized to issue his certificates in payment of current running expenses, Mr. Schoepf will at once cease operating the road. Mr. Wilson explained that Mr. Worthing- ton will be here tomorrow, and that they will then be prepared to argue the ques- tion. Whether he shall be or not, Judge Cox postponed the case until then. ——— FRENCH MARKET OPENS. Movement in Aid of Southern Relief Society.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION. Approval of a Bill to Prohibit Con- tract Work. The weekly meeting last evening of the Central Labor Union was well attended, the representatives of twenty-two organ- izations being present. President Milford Spohn occupied the chair and Mr. J. J. Crowley was secretary. A bill which it is proposed to have intro- duced into Congress at its present session, in reference to the employment of labor in the District of Columbia, which was re- ported from the legislative committee, was adopted. The bill provides that on and after the passage of the act it shall be unlawful to let by advertisement or contract any mu- nicipal work or improvement in the Dis- trict of Columbia; that all such work and improvements shall be done and performes by direct employment by the proper mu- nicipal authorities of the District, under the direction and control of the Commis- sioners, and that all persons employed upon such work and improvements shall be paid the maximum wages and compensation paid to other persons for like services. It is proposed that the act shall not af- fect or impair any existing contract. A communication was read from Prescott F. Hall, secretary of the Immigration Re- striction League, at Boston, asking the aid of the C. L. U. in securing the passage of an illiteracy bill, such as was introduced into both houses at the last session of Con- gress, providing “that all immigrants over fifteen years of age, with some prescribed exceptions, must be able to read and write English or some other language.” It was decided that the Central Labor Union would address a letter to each mem- ber of the Senate and House asking him to support such a bill. The union unanimously decided to do all in its power, honorably, to defeat any bill before Congress looking to restricting the privileges now enjoyed by ticket brokers. Resolutions to this end were adopted, a copy of which will be forwarded to each member of Congress. Mr. R. W. Hardwick, a member of Co- lumbia Union, No. 101, and also a member of the citizens’ committee, which has un- dertaken to collect funds to erect a new building for the Y. M. C. A., made an ad- dress. He stated that the committee de- sired to interest organized labor societies in the institution, and desired that they make contributions to the fund. He also read a letter from Mr. Charles E. Foster; president of the Young Men’s Christian Association, in which it was stated that union labor will be employed in the con- oe ie of the new buiiding as far as pos- sible. The consideration of the matter was de- ferred until the next meeting. ——+— Valuable Suburban Property.

Reports of Gommittees Received— TransportationCommittee Shows Balance: im Treasury. President Grant Leet of the District Christian Endeayor’Union presidéd at the Degember meeting of the executive com- mittee of the organteation held at Calvary Baptist Church last evening. Ihe meet- ing opened with prayer, Scripture reading and a service of song. The roll call re- vealed that representatives of fifty-one societies were present. The repert of the missionary committee of the union for the month of November was read by the chairman of the commit- tee, Miss Ella C. Lyman. The report sta- ted that a circular letter had recently been addressed to the presidents of societies ask- ing for certain information concerning the work in the local societies, which the com- mittee desires to have for use in its work ef the year. ‘The lookout committee reported, through Mr. W. W. Tuckey, chairman, that a con- ference of the chairmen of the lookout committees in societies located north of Pennsylvania avenue and between North Capitcl and 14th street west, would be held Monday evening, the 13th instant, in the Mt. Vernon M. E, Church. Good Citizenship. The good citizenship committee reported that the committee would co-dperate heart- ily during the year with the District Anti- Saloon League in its fight against the liquor traffic. The committee recommended that delegates from the‘union be appointed to attend the convention of the American Anti-Saloon League, to be held in Colum- bus, Ohio, January 11 to 13, 1808. The fol- lowing were named as delegates: President Grant Leet, Rey. C. H. Butler, Harry G. Kimball and F. M. Bradley. Messrs. W. W. Tuckey, W. H. Pennell and A. S. Taylor were named as alternates. Miss Zue H. Brockett read the report of the good literature committee, which stated that a circular letter had been addressed to the societies in the union, calling for cer- tain information for the use of the com- mittee. Mr. Page L. Zimmerman, chair- man of the rausic committee, reported that his committee had rendered service in a musical direction to a number of the soci- eties during the month of November. Final Report Made. Mr. W. W. Tuckey, chairman of the Cali- fornia transportation committee, which had charge of the trip to San Francisco last July of the local delegates to the interna- tional convention in that city, rendered his final report, showing a considerable balance ef cash remaining in hand after all settle- ments were made, due to good management and economy. The committee recommend- ed that the surplus remaining on hand, with the exception of $100, whicn was to be placed aside as a fund for the use of future transportation committees, be re- funded to the persons composing the con- vention delegation. The recommendation was adorted, and each delegate will receive a refund of about $1.50. On motion of Mr. W. H. H. Smith, sec- onded by Mr. Miles M. Shand, the execu- live committee extended a hearty vote of thanks ‘o the transportation committee for the excellent service rendered by them. Advance: Movements. The committee took up for consideration the two advance movements of Christian Endeavor for the year, as sounded at the California convention, namely, “Systematic and Proportionate Giving,” as exemplified in the Tenth Legion movement, and the observance of the “Quiet hour of commu- nion with God.” .A number of testimonies and suggestions from the floor brought out the various phases of.the movements. The meeting closed with prayer for the nd for the success cf-the work of the rocieties during the year. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Edward Warren, pastor of Faith Prespy terian Church.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: It has been announced that “at the re- quest of the public” the “Barber of Se- ville,” the gem of Rossini’s masterpiece: has been remo: for “Traviata.” The la ter will be welcomed, no doubt, as Verdi gem, but could not the “Barber,” compara- tively unknown to this generation, be sub- stituted for “Faust,” which, though the gem of Gounod, has been sung every by every operatic company, good, bad or indifferent? There “Faust” and the “Barber” would be so welcome; it would be so new to us; t..ough it was the first light comic opera and orig- inated the style, it has never been sur- passed in richness of score and difficulty of execution. None but first-cl. can sing it, and that is why it has been so long abandoned. Now that we have a com- pany that can sing it, do let us have it, and Rosina will be more welcome than Marguerite. E. M.

Topics Discussed at Meeting of the Assoctation. In the absence of President J. W. Somer- ville, Vice President T. A. Harding pre- sided at the meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association last evening, and a discussion was had of better railroad fa- cilities for the section, and of the alleged insanitary condition of the village school. Mr. Chapin Brown, of the street railroad committee, reported that no action had been taken by the committee as to any of the proposed railroad extensions, but stated that he was personally in favor of the first road which will extend its line out and through the section. He referred to the bill introduced yesterday on behalf of the Cap- ital Traction Company, which provides that the company shall extend its line out 14th street to Howard avenue, to 17th street, thence to Park street and back to 14th. Both Howard avenue and Park street, ex- plained Mr. Brown, will be widened, and as it does not appear to be certain that the Metropolitan road can get out to the sec- on, and as the Capital Traction Company is very desirous of getting there, he be- lieved that it should be encouraged. Mr. A. H. Nixon said the plan of the Cap- ital Traction Company was both niggardly and absurd, and he was opposed to it. He remarked that it appeared to him that the association was in the position of adjunct to the railroad companies. He also opposed any road on Howard avenue, because of its narrow width. Mr. F. L. Campbell said he was in favor of the best road, but whatever road made the extension he hoped the parking of cars on the public streets would be forever done away with, the practice being not only an eyesore, but also extremely dangerous. A motion made by Mr. Raby to approve the plan of the Capital Traction Company was withdrawn, when a motion of Mr. Campbell, that the whole matter be posi- poned until the next meeting, prevailed. It was explained that there has been ro meeting of the committee on schools for many months, and Trusiee Ellis Speare, one of the trustees of the District board, and a member of the association, sald he desired the co-operation of the committee in his work, promising that he will do all in hts power to promote the best interesis of the schools. He said he had examined the village school and was satisfied that St is in good sanitary condition, and that it is not as damp as it has been reported. He also stated that he did not believe the condition of the school building was re- sponsible for the recent diphtheria or scar- let fever cases. That Mr. Campbell could not agree with, and he urged the association to see that the section shall no longer be referred to as unhealthy. HAVE YOU BEEN growing Weaker of lite?
