Belt Railway Employes ward to N The conductors, drivers and other em- ployes of the Belt Line railroad are looking with longing eyes for the New Year and the relief it promises. There are cases where the company is indebted to conduct- ors {n the amount of $65 each, and even the hill boy, who gets but 55 cents a day, has a claim against the company. Since last Friday. however, there has been a material betterment in conditions. Each night the employes are paid for their day's work, and the men feel much better satisfied than when it was all work and no pay. One of these days they hope for the arrearages, but at the present time they look forward expectantly to the benefit which is to be n at Center Market Hall next Thurs- evening in their behalf, hoping it will necess. Many. of the families of the s are reduced to actual want by the failure of the company to pay their salaries, and the proceeds from this bene- fit will be equally divided. It promises suc- cess, and, as one of the patrons-of the road aid to a Star reporter this afternoon, ‘‘it an actual charity that every one should contribute to.” y Shows He Has Been Drunk for a Yenr.

Han¢ siah” is one of the most lofty m tions, and the rehearsals of the Choral Society in preparation for the production, under the watchful and skillful eye of Prof. Joseph Kaspar war- rant the prediction that it will be given in a manner fully in keeping with the grandl- ness of the work. The oratorio, thanks to the Choral Society's indefatigable efforts, has become familiar to Washington, and needs no description of details to enhance its attractiveness, The soloists who will be heard tomorrow night are fully in keeping with the reputa- tion of the society, and will present the solo parts in a highly satisfactory manner. Mr. Ericsson Bushnell, the eminent basso, is well known at the capital, and needs no introduction to a Washington audience. Mme. Diaz de Albertini and Miss Fielding Roselle are not so well know@ here, but their reputations vouch for the belief that they will also be satisfactory. Mr. E. C. Towne, the tenor, is as well known here as Mr. Bushnell, while Mr. John Porter Law- rence, who will be the accompanist at the one of Washington's representa- ‘icians. The Choral Society is probably in better shape this year than it has been for some time. The tenor portion, usually weak iu almost all organizations of this character, is strong this year, while the other parts tiful oratorio “The Messi i Chureh as ion opportunity the o are equally good, and the whole organiza- tion is so well balanced as to lead to the opinion that tomorrow night's preseniation will be the most successful, from a musical point of view, ever given by the society. ‘The last rehearsal will take place tonight at the Congregational Church, instead of at Sheldon’s Hall, and the finishing touches will be put on the-work under Prof. Kas- par’s direction.

THE CHRISTMAS RECORD ee “I can't wish you a happy Christmas this morning, Mr. Flynn,” said George Brown, who was one of the first of the fifty-six prisoners to arrive at the Police Court. “It's all over, now,’ he added, “but if I get out today I'll have a hot time New Year day.” “Come, George, drink your coffe re- sponded the officer. “Court will convene in a few minutes and then you won't have time to enjoy it.” “"Deed, Mr. Flynn, I don’t want any coffee this morning, ‘cause I had enough to drink Christmas.

This was the statement made by Joseph Powell, an old offender. “Powell has been drunk ever since he got out,” said Policeman Jack. ‘He has no hcme, but has been sleeping in a stable, and when I arrested him he asked me to send him down for four months.” “I didn’t ask him for anything of the kind,” said the prisoner. “When he asked me if I wanted four or six months, I told him I didn’t care a d— what he gave me.” He got sixty days on the farm.
