Policeman Carroll, who made the arrest, stated that last evening Eastman, who was under the influence of liquor, walked into the station and asked to be permitted to sit there until he became sober. Eastman was partially searched and placed in a cell. He soon fell asleep. Several hours afterward Malachi Wil- was arrested by Officer Carroll ie charge of being disorderly, and put in cell with Eastman. The latter waked up suddenly, and, seeing Williams, made an attack on him with a knife, and tried to slash his shoulder. Fortunately, however, for Williams, Eastman succeeded tn only cutting the former's coat. Williams screamed with terror and Officer Carroll entered the cell and separated the parties, placing each in a cell by himself. Judge Kimball said that had proper care been taken in searching Eastman the cut- ting would not have occurred. —_ Your credit is good at Lansburgh’s Fur- niture House, 13th and F streets.—Advt. ng Sent to Jail. —_—.-—— EVENING STAR ALMANAC, A Rendy Reference About Things His- torical Political, Municipal, Ete.

An additional fea- ture of the almanac for 1898 is the com- plete and reliable poiltical information con tained therein. It is a political regi. that one may safely consult tor accurate information.

Mr. Shepard Talks of the National Educational Association. Mr. Irwin Shepard of Winona, Minn., sec- retary of the National Educational Associa- tion, attended a meeting held yesterday, of the local executive committee of the asso- ciation at the Columbian University to offer suggestions as to the carrying out of plans for the coming convention. Secre- tary Shepard had been called to Boston, so his visit here was rot official. He took the opportunity, however, to stop over, as the members of the committee wished to taik with him and confer with him. The meet- ing was presided over by Rev. Dr. Whit- man, chairman. The only business done was the appointment of a committee on books and school appliances. It is as fol- lows: Mrs. Sarah A. Spencer, chairman, and Messrs. Charles Lyman, S. W. Wood- ward, Heary Wells and B. H. Warner. Sec- retary Shepard answered questions put to him by the different members of the com- mittee present, and toid how others had been held. There was present, besides him- self, Dr. Whitman and Secretary O'Neil, Col. Henry F. Blout, president of the gen- eral local committee; Dr. Edward M. Gal- laudet, Messrs. Archibald Greenlees, Thos. W. Smith, Robert W. Read, A. T. Stuart, Mrs. Sara Spencer, Miss Anna Tolman Smith and H. P. Montgomery. General Satisfaction. In conversation with a Star reporter, Sec- ret Shepard said that there was gen- eral satisfaction felt, so far as all who were connected with the association went, at the selection of the capitah as the holding place of the next convention. Many of the teachers who wil! attend the convention are from the east originaily, and have friends and relatives here. A large number of them have never visited the capital, and this will afford them an excellent chance The convention has never been he east, except in LSM. It was held ar in Asbury Park, but a railroad interfered with the attendance of is will make it prac- the first time it has ever been held east. Washington is comparatively the seashore, so that the teachers can spend the rest of their vacation there, if they desire. rd to the attendance, he sai ive estimate will place the nu 1,000 and 30,000. At Denver, as 15,000, er of delegates was nd at Milwaukee, in there were 10,000 delegates present at the ‘convention. The Washington conven- tion will be cailed to order Thursday, July with a grand opening meeting at Gonven. strike ni in In Buf- ion Hall, and will same place on Tues July 12. Only these two meet- ings will 1 in the ig hall, as many of the M not be able to be heard in the vast six other gen- eral raeetings of the association will, there- fore. be held in two opera houses, with doubie programs.” The meet a most grati- fying one to all cone: and the best ults are expected low this con- e by one so closely connected with the conducting of other meetings of a sim- ilar character. > THE PASSION PLAY. Pictorial Representation to Con- tinue Another Week. The moving pictures, representing in every detail the Passion play, as given at Horitz, Bohemia, will be continued at the Columbia Theater for one week longer, be- ginning tomorrow, Sunday, evening. There ‘will be a presentation on every succeeding g of the week and on Monday, Tues- Thursday and Saturday afternoons. Thus will be given an opportunity to every e to see the world’s sublimest tragedy presented in a reverential manner, for every movement made by these humbie ana devout actors is reproduced on the screen ism that is startling and im- he lack of speech in the charac- as they move through the scenes of sacred dram pplied by the lec- rer, Prof. Erne + Who delivers the of the play as it progresses. fore, all of the objectionable feature: actual performance of the Bi are removed, while none of onal and religious teachings ure Already the presentation has received the warm in- dorsemeat of many eminent divines, who pronounce it a powerful sermon, instruct znd interesting m the highest degree. life of the Bohemian pe is fully scribed in the introductory part of the lce- ive fhe G ture, and moving pictures are shown of hem engaged in their daily vocations.

Conn. ave. and L st., ts a desirable place to get a dainty luncheon.—Advt. as Did Not Get a Half Holiday. ‘To the Editor of The Eventag Star: When you said this evening in The Star that “all the departments closed at noon to- day” you forgot to except the bureau of engraving and printing. That department did not close until 8 o'clock, after a hard struggle, in which some of its employes were forced to work through their lunch hour in order to get their work done. Mr. Johnson always gives as excuse for not closing early that “we can't get the work out.” Now the work gets out, and got out before Mr. Johnson ever saw the bureau, arid in those days the bureau was always closed all day before Christmas, as it was easier to give the employes a whole day then than two half days before Christ- mas and New Year; but since he has been chief never a half holiday do we get. ‘Thanksgiving eve the bureau worked till 4 o'clock, although the treasury and all other offices were closed half a day. The chief seems to lose sight of the fact that any of his employes like turkey or want to buy a Christmas dinner, or that many of them are women who have families depending on them for a Christmas dinner. Please air these facts for us in your Christmas edi- tion, and perhaps they may reach the eye of some one in authority, who would see to it that the bureau gets its share of the holidays going, and perhaps give us all day New Year eve to make up for the day they will then owe us.
