Whelpley, Barnard, Harries, Hazen, Wilson, Spear, Brown, Wright and Richardson, Mrs. Tulloch and Mrs. Terrell. Notice was received from the District Commissioners that the new school build- ing in course of erection on Gth street east had been named the Peabody Annex. Letters were received from B. H. War- ner & Co. and W. H. Saunders & Co., complaining of the inadequacy of the school facilities at Petworth, and offering suitable buildings for school purposes. The communications were referred to the com- mittee on school buildings. At the instance of Mrs. Terrell the board adopted a resolution requesting the Dis- trict Commissioners to_ investigate the case of an assault on Wiliam Gardner, a sixteen-year-old pupil in the Jones school, alleged to have been committed by Officer Gouldman of the second precinct, with a view to the dismissal of the officer in case he shall be shown to be guilty of the of- fense charged against him. On motion of Mr. Barnard a committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Barnard, Wright and Spear, was appointed to con- sider the advisability of arranging a course of free lectures for the benefit of the chil- dren of the public schools, to continue un- til the summer vacation.

Charles Winston, colored, shortly before 9 o'clock last night, was declared guilty by a jury in Criminal Court No. 2 of the mur- der of his wife, Emma, the 13th of last De- cember. The jury did not qualify its ver- dict with the words “without capital pun- ishment,” and, therefore, unless the regu- lar course of the law shall be interrupted, the prisoner will expiate his crime on the gallows. There are now three men con- fined in the District jail who have been convicted of murder. ‘Two of them are un- der sentence of death, and, unless Judge Bradley grants a new trial in the case of Winston, he, too, will soon be sentenced to be hanged. fter The Star's report of the trial of Winston closed yesterday afternoon the defense announced that its case was con- cluded. V ‘on himself was the only per- son to take the witness stand for the de- Counsel submitted a few prayers for instructions that they desired the court should give the jury, and then arguments began. ‘The arguments were concluded shortly before 6 o'clock, and thereupon Judge Bradley delivered his charge. The twelve men in about three-quarters of an hour thereafter decided that Winston was suilty as indicted, and so reported when called into court later. The prisoner re- ceived the smnouncement with the utmost composure, Messrs. Turner and Keys, counsel for Winston, gave notice that it Is their inten- tion to file a motion for a new trial.

Of all the comely damsels that Ed- ward Evangeline Rice has brought before the delighted gaze of Washington theater- goers “The Ballet Girl” is said to be un- qualifiedly the best. Like all of Mr. Rice's theatrical productions, this particular one is bright, crisp, full of sparkle, mel- ody and harmonious color blending. It has beautiful and startling costumes, elab- orate and picturesque scenice effects, spir- ited dancing and pretty girls. Moreover, there is in it a plot based upon a consistent story, which is told in terse and very witty lines, and it is quick in action as a panto- mime. The music is cleverly written and the lyrics are particularly meritorious. One thing is to be noted in “The Ballet Girl” with special gratification—that it has none of that hackneyed monotony and dullness usually found in topical songs. Those in- troduced are novel and catchy, and their novelty is such as to secure instant recog- nition and unbounded favor. Seldom, if ever, have two cleverer numbers been ex- ploited in an extravaganza than the “Boom” duet and “The Angel at the Old Stage Door.” In the former the names of several prominent personages of the day are introduced, and the result is altogether favorable. “The Ballet Girl’ is interpreted by the original cast, including seventy artists. The sale of seats will begin to- morrow morning. “THE OLD HOMESTEAD.”—It is sel- dom in these days, when plays are written for special people and special occasions, that one has the privilege of seeing a really good play, well mounted and equipped in the way of actors and scenic effects. Sucn an opportunity will occur, however, at the Lafayette Opera House next Monday even- ing, when Mr. Denman Thompson will appear for the first time in several years, presenting his celebrated play, “The Old Homestead.” Old theater-goers accustom- ed to the ordinary excellence of plays which come highly recommended by the critics of the larger cities will be pleasantly sur- prised at ‘The Old Homestead.” It is the most finished production of the decade. The most careful attention has been given by its author to the most minute detail of stagecraft. Mr. Thompson did not know how well he builded when he gave to the world this beautiful play. He aims to pre- sent a rural comedy, faithfully portraying a class fast becoming extinct—a simple, honest-minded_ countryman. So natural did he make his creation that the public recognized the grandeur characterized in the Swanzey farmer and paid it tribute of greatness. The company is the strongest that has ever enacted this pretty idyl of New England life. Its musical features add greatly to its charm. “THE BRIDE-ELECT."—One of the acts of John Philip Sousa’s new comic opera, “The Bride-Elect,”” which comes to the La- fayette Square ' Opera House Monday, March 21, will close th a new march, rendered by the full rength of the com- pany and a military band, numbering in all about one hundred persons. This march is said to be the very best that Sousa has yet written, ‘and surpasses in stage effect- iveness even the famous “El Capitan” number. Aside from the charm and swing cf Sousa’s music, there is great curiosity over the book, also written by him. In “The Bride-lect” he makes his debut as a full-fledged librettist. Washington has @ warm spot in her heart ever since the days when he was bandmaster of the United States Marine Band, and that his rersonal foHowing is interested in the forthcoming productions ts being duly at- tested by the orders for si s already being sent to the box ollice. It will be impos- sible to fill these orders, however, before the opening of the advance sale begins, when they will 1eceive attention according to the date of application. The sale opens on Wednesday, March 16. COL. INGERSOLL SHAKESPEARE. —Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, the greatest liv- ing. master of the English tongue, will de- liver his magnificent tribute to the Bard of Avon at the National heater Sunday evening, March 13. Col. Ingersoll has said of Shakespeare “that from his brain flowed a Niagara of gems.” In its soul ev lience to which this lecture has been de- livered has sald the same of the colonel. He has long been acknowledged the most gifted orator of the present decade. He 1s one of the most sympathetic and profound students of Shakespeare, and all admirers of oratorical wit, logic and pathos should range to hear this brilliant lecture de- by this distinguished and magnetic The hundreds of peopie whose theo- cal views prevented them from hearing Jonel before will undoubtedly be glad to know of this opportunity of listening to this great master of English. MME. JANAUSCHEK.—The announce- ment’ of the forthcoming engagement of Mme. Janauschek at the Columbia next week in Paul Kester's new play, Dreams May Come,” will be received with the utmost satisfaction by that portion of the the: public which still re- ter-going tains its appreciation of good plays and great acting. It is a modern four-act nd, while it does not lack in com- ntiment, it contains what is be- ved will prove one of the strongest and t_parts ever written for Mme. Janau- schek. The scene of the play is laid in London and the time at present. Mme. Janauschek takes the part of a Rus noblewoman, a. by the w: which is said to sugges amous Mme. Blavatsky. Paul Kester, the author of the play is one of the best known of the young- er playwrights. His first p done ‘in col- laboration with Minnie Maddern Fiske in the famous “Tess,” was the “Countess Rou- dine,” wh'ch Mme. Modjeska produced with success. Then the late Alexander Salviri took the young author up, being attracted by the promise of his work, and for three seasons Kester traveled as the actor’ guest, studying stagecraft and getting in- sight into the practical workings of the stage. While with Mr. Salvini he wrote the “Student of Salamanc Other play by this same author are “Nell Gwynn which Rhea produced, and a new dramatiz- ation of “Eugene Aram." The company supporting Mme. Janauschek contains such well-knowa people as Maud Banks, Ed- mund Collier, John Blair and Joseph Whit- ing. THE COLUMBIA’S BARGAIN MATI- NEE. here will be a bargain matinee at the Columbia tomorrow afternoon, when the price of admission will be fifty cents to au parts of the house. Clara Morris has many old admirers here, and the sketch she is doing gives her a splendid chance to display her emotional powers. The balance of the company inciude some of the best known vaudeville performers. THE HOFMANN RECITAL.—A musician speaking of the recent recitals in New York of Josef Hofmann said: “It is difli- cult for any one to restrain himself and keep from extravagance in speaking of his performances. He was a mervelous child; he has become a wonderful man, for, de- spite his few years, he is a man in his ar- tistic sense. No other standard will fit him, if, indeed, he has not established for himself a new one, an almost unreachable ore.” That this is true has been evidenced by his every appearance. Every promise of his childhood has been redeemed. He returns a great artist, and, judged by others, in seeming full maturity of his powers. To appreciate Hofmann, one who remembers his first concerts, when but a lad of eight, must now listen to him. In strength he is phenomenal and of a strong- ly concentrated kind; his octaves are re- iwarkable, his energy is unflagging, and in his honesty of purpose and breadth and generosity in working up climaxes he shows how sensitive he is to nobility or grandeur of thought. The Washington recital of Josef Hofmann occurs at the Columbia next Tuesday afternoon at 4:15. Seats are row selling at Guzman’s ticket office, at E. F. Droop & Son's. “THE PACIFIC MAIL.”—Brilliant com- edy, delightful music, startiing specialties and an elaborate scenic production is prom- LOOP EO OOOO, “I am convinced Cleve- land’s is the purest baking powder made, and I have adopted it exclusively “in my cooking schools and for daily household use.” -SARAH T.

Potter, the fam- ous adapter of *Trilby,” which will be the attraction at thes Academy next week. Many musical goyetties and specialties—all of them new anduattraciive—will be de- livered by the.cexceptionally etrong com- pany which Mr. @larrison has specially engaged and whigh has scored marked success in othet cities. Among the ladies and gentlemens are the following well- known artists:'R.iE. Graham, Edward 8. Metcalf, Wm. Biley:Hatch, Osborne Searle, Sydney Price, €havles C. Patterson, Sam- uel Lewis, Fre@ Ferrest, Charles B. Pow- ell, Charles Craig,sWm. Johnson, Gus De Vere, L. M. Martell, J. P. Acams, C. G. Ferris and the Mistes Marion Abbott, Hel- ene Lowell, Grace Sherwood, Celie Ellis, Gerry Ames, Carolyn Cook, Adelaide Bur- ton and others. Among the novelties pre- sented will be the famous prima donna, Mme. Alexa, who is sald to possess a volce of the same timbre and quality of Mme. Nordica, and ts further accredited with being the favorite pupil: of the celebrated Mme. Marchesi. “EIGHT BELLS.”—Unlike most theatri- cal productions, once seen “Hight Belis” has the effect of creating a desire in the spectator to witness the performance again and again. “Eight Bells” will be present- ed at the Grand Opera House next Monday. “Bight Bells” is different from any other stage performance. It contains comedy and pantomime, with any amount of me- chanical effects, the latter being remark- able for the genius displayed in their ar- rangement. Tie piece was written by John F. Byrne, the eldest of the famous Broth- ers Byrne, acrobats and pantomimists. It is unnecessary to detail the story. The plot is sufficient to retain interest in the play, and the Byrnes, with their numerous specialties, acrobatic and otherwise, do the rest. The comedy part of the piece— which is in reality a spectacle—evokes con- tinuous laughter. The mishaps of the school master and the varied unpleasant experiences of Daniel McGossle create an amount of merriment seldom seen. In the first act the Brothers Byrne are given an opportunity to display their agility and amuse the audience by their funny and clever pantomime work. In this act a car- riage which seems to be composed entire- ly of doors and wires 1s ‘introduced, and the athletes give an exhibition of acrobatic work in and about the venicle that is dif- ficult to excel. The revolving ship in the second act is undoubtedly the most won- derful piece of mechanism ever staged. The vessel, filled with passengers, turns completely over and over in the water, and is finally wrecked in the storm. JOHN LL. SULLIVAN.—Manager Ker- ran’s attraction at the Lyceum next week will be one of marked importance. John L. Sullivan will form the magnet, surrounded by a company of European and American specialty and burlesque art John L. Sullivan has become a philosopher. His years of experience have given him a broad and generous view of things and made the man who for years was the crowned king of pugilism an observant and thoughtful citizen. Though a little stouter, John L. is the same in appearance that he was ten years ago. He will appear at every performance during the week, and will first be seon in the opening skit, which is entitled “A Trip: Across the Ocean,” in which he assumes a becoming character. John L. will also appear in the concluding feature of the performance in scientific bag punching, &c., assisted by Ed and Rolla White. Miss White also gives an exhibition of bag punching. Others in the company are Miss Emma Carus, the tal- ented descriptive vocalist; the Brownings, refined travesty stars; the Petching Bros., in musical comedy; Darmondy, expert club manipulator; Maude Detty and Edith Mur- ray, in songs and dances: Begley and Lei in sidewalk jokes, and the Goldens, com- edy sketch artists. MADAME IALLIAN NORDICA—Mad- ame Lillian Nordica, assisted by Mr. H. Evan Williams, tenor; Mr. Leo Storm, a and Mr, E. Romayne Simmond: will give a grand concert at t ette Square Opera House Thursday, March 31 (matinee).

President Chauncey F. Black and Secre- tary Lawrence Gardner of the National Association af Democratic Clubs yesterday sent out e@ circular letter announcing the intention of the association to celebrate the 155th birthday anniversary of Thomas Jefferson Wednesday, April 13, by a sub- scription dinner. The letter after reciting that the reverential observance of Jeffer- son’s day has become a significant usage of the democratic clubs and of the democratic party, states that it furnishes a fitting oc- casion for renewed declarations of deyo- tion to the fundamental principles of hu- man liberty, for which the party was orig- inally formed to uphold ard defend; for the revision of party doctrines as applied to the conflicts of the hour, “and for a timely review of the centralizing, corrupt- ing and oppressive measures of the feder- alist opponents who, under one name or an- other, have from the foundation of the re- public sought to revolutionize the Consti- tution by false construction and falee ad- ministration.” In conclusion the letter reads as follows: “We therefore earnestly advise the dem- ocratic associations of the United States, whether large or small, to join with the National Association of Democratic Clubs on the 13th of April next, at such hour and in such manner as may best serve the wishes of each separate organization, in a common homage to the memory of the great apostle of American liberty, the au- thor of the Declaration of Independence, and the founder of the democratic party, and in a fresh expression of our unalter- able determination to preserve the heritage of freedom as it came to us from our fore- fathers, and to resist by every lawful means in our power the encroachments of erganized wealth and monopoly upon the constitutional rights of the people.” E ‘The dinner here will be given in the Na- tional Rifles’ Armory Hall, and the guests of especial honor will be William Jennings Bryan and Chairman Jones of the na- tional democratic committee. ee WASHINGTON MO MENT. Over a Million Visitors Since Shaft Was Opened to Public. According to Colonel Bingham, the offi- cer in charge of public buildings and grounds, there were 9,345 visitors to the top of the Washington monument during the month of February. Of this number 7,405 made the ascent by the elevator and 1,940 by the stairway, making a total of 1,492,125 persons who have visited the top since the monument was first opened to the public, October 0, 1888. One afternoon during the month a visitor threw a pint flask down the shaft from near the top. A lady who was leaning over the railing near the 160-foot landing was nearly struck by the flask, which was smashed into 2 thousand pieces at the 30-foot land- ing. By the greatest of good luck no one was injured, although several persons narrowly escaped being struck by pieces of flying glass. The perpetrator of this outrage escaped detection. One of the principal improvements made to the public grounds during the month was the laying of 2i2 linear feet of board walk 3 feet wide In the Smithsonian grounds on the line of the path leading from 11th street southwest. The walk was laid as much for the prevention of tres- passing as to give a dry pathway to pe- destrians, eel “What Royal Glue sticks stays stuck.” 10c. —Advertisement. on Election of Directors.

Runaway boys have been more numerous in the Police Court during the past few weeks than at any time for several years. This morning a boy named Henry Fox, from Philadelphia, was before Judge Kim- ball. He admitted that he had run away from home two years ago. Last night he was found in “Tramps’ camp,” in the An- acostia freight yard. “I left home to better my condition,” Henry told Judge Kimball, “and I went as far as Texas. Now I am on my way home.” “Did your parents going?” the court asked. “I have no mother,” he answered, “and I didn’t tell my father my intentions.” ‘Haven't you any friends?” ‘riends I have few, and I don’t want to have anything to do with my relatives.” Judge Kimball directed him to write a letter to his father, and when he had done so released him. Letters were received from the parents of two boys this morning—Charles Miyette end Joseph Woods. The former is from Woonsocket, R. I, and he is to be sent home. Mrs. Augustus Herman, mother of the Wocds boy, lives in Dayton, Ohio. She is anxious for the return of her boy, whom she has not seen for a year, but she says she is unable to pay his railroad fare home. know you were See SS OPINIONS RENDERUD. Court of Appeals Reverses One Deci- sion, Sustains Another. In addition to the opinions mentioned in The Star, the Court of Appeals late yes- terday afternoon announced a decision re- versing the judgment of the lower court in the case of Frank Hume and Timothy D. Daly, appellants, against FE. Francis Riggs and others, and one affirming the judgment of the lower court in the case of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company against Samuel B. Davis. The case first mentioned was an appeal from a decree enjoining the marshal from retaining certain property formerly be- longing to Caleb W. Spofford and convey- ed by him to certain trustees for E. Fran- cis Riggs, to secure a loan of $50,000 and an annual rental of $30,000. Hume and Daly brought action to recover payment for groceries and provisions, and also for money loaned. The lower court held the former to be a prior lien. This judgment, however, was reversed by the Court of Appeals. The case of the Norfolk and Washing- ton Steamboat Company against Davis was an action for damages brought for an al- leged libel published by authority of the steamboat compan: It appears, the court stated, that Davis, who’ had been employ- ed by the steamboat company, was dis- charged by Superintendent Callahan. K. C. Murray, a friend of Davis, wrote to Callahan in connection with the incident, and the alleged libel was contained in the reply of Callahan to Murray. The judg- ment of the court was that the letter contained gross charges against Davis as to his efficiency as commander of a ves- sel. The judgment in the sum of $4,000 was affirmed by the Court of Appeals. Absolutely Pure CITY ITEMS. SSS Se C. Auerbach’s Bargain Bulletin, 7 & 1. Fine 4-ply Linen Collars, 25c. quality, ¢ 25.

Byruc’s New “8 BELLS CO.” A CERTAIN CURB FOR CONSTIPATION Regulations as to Diet, Exercise; &c., as Prescribed by One of the Most Eminent Physicians. Constipation affects mostly those who are dyspeptic or who sit too much or too long. It cannot be cured by medicines alone. The fol- lowing is the prescription of a lead- ing physician: ist. Take on rising a teaspoonful of Carlsbad Sprudel Salt in a glass of water as hot as you can sip it. Then take a brisk walk out of doors, if you can; if not, keep on your feet and move about indoors. If the trouble is chronic and serious, take another dose in from thirty to sixty minutes, Wait at least half an hour before eat- ing your breakfast. 2d. Never sit down to read or work after breakfast until nature has found relief. “But I haven't time.” You will have time if you rise an hour earlier than before, and a cure is worth that. 3d. Use laxative food—use a gruel of rolled oats and water, no milk; and use honey with wheat griddle cakes or with bread. Never touch toast, or milk except in coffee. Don't eat blackberries or cheese, and never drink tea for breakfast. Use coffee at breakfast, if you can; if not, hot water. Chew all food thoroughly and never use a liquid to help masti- cate it. Never use acids or sour fruits, and fruit when cooked is much easier digested than if uncooked. 4th. Why use Carlsbad Sprudet Salt? Because, first, there is no reac- tion to follow it. You know what that means, if you have taken physics and found yourself worse off than be- fore, the second day afterwards; sec ond, because the Genuine Carlsbad Sprudel Salt aids the stomach as well as the bowels in their functions. You can take the Carlsbad Sprude? Salt less and less steadily as you ims prove; but never be without a bottle handy. Be sure to use only the Genuine Carlsbad Salt, which is ob- tained from the celebrated Carlsbad Sprudel Water, and has the signa- ture of EISNER & MENDELSON CO., Sole Agents, New York, on every bottle.
