Eight respectable looking young colored men were in the dock of Judge Scott's court this morning, charged with being vagrants and suspicious persons. They had been found on a freight train at ths Baltimore end Potomac depot last night about 12 e’clock. The cars in which they were lo- cated had come from Wilmington, N. C., ard had in them hundreds of boxes of strawberries. Had not the agent of the Adams Express Company caused thir ar- rest, the young men would have gune to New York last night. The prisoners said they had worked their age here. They had handled most of at=s of berries, and had worked hard loss of time by the train.

Selection of Their Successors in the Light Infantry—General and Personal News. Evening Star Bureau, ~ No. 529 King st., Bell Telephon2, No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 17, 1898. A dispatch was received in this city yes- terday afternoon stating that the resigna- tions of Capt. Albert Bryan and First Lieut. Leonard Marbury,of the Alexandria Light Infantry, now encamped in Richmond, had been acc>pted by the governor. Upon the acceptance of these resignations it became necessary to elect an entirely new’ set of officers, in consequencs of which the com- pany held a meeting yesterday and elected Second Lieut. R. H. Atkinson, captain; Charles L. Fisher, first leutenant, and James E. King, second lievt>nant. Capt. Atkinson has been a member of the company for a number of years and is well liked by the “boys.” Lieut. Fisher, who Was a private, is a young and popular gen- tleman. He has be:n a commercial drum- mer for a number of years. Lieut. King, who was a corporal, is also a young man, and has been the agent of the Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon electric railroad in this city for some time. Ex-Capt. Bryan and ex-Lieut. Marbury returned to this city from Richmond last night. They report every member of the company well and all enjoying themselves. The company will probably be examined to- day, and those members failing to pass the examination will probably return to their homes in this city tonight. Leiters received from members of the 2d Regiment Field Band, under command of Sergt. Maj. W. E. D. Krauss, state that the boys are enjoying themselv2s and well satisfied with their accommodations. Pranks of the Lightning. A severe thunder, lightning and rain storm passed over this city yesterday even- ing about 5 o'clock, during the progress of which lightning struck several points, but did very little damage. The wire which carries the electric current to a fan In Ram- mel’s restaurant, on Royal street, was struck, a ball of tire entering the house and setting fire to a bundle of receipts. No damage of any consequence was done. Lightning also struck the large smokestack at Hammond's ice factery, on the Strand, an old building owned by J. Driefus. Business Men's League. The Business Men's League rooms at the corner of Washington and King streets are now kept open a considerable portion of the day for the accommodation of the members. Those members without keys can secure them from the treasurer. Painfully Burned His Hand. Mr. L. Morgan Davis of the Robert Port- ner Brewing Company painfully burned his hand yesterday while at work. Mr. Davis cut his hand, and to prevent soreness he put some turpentine on It. Before it was dry he struck a match to light his pipe, and the vapor from the turpentine became ig- nited, enveloping his hand in flames. Called Meeting of Council. A special meeting of the city council will be held tonight, when Mayor George L. Simpson will send a communication to that body, calling attention to what !s con- sidered irregularities in the proposed plans for the paving of King street. General and Personal Notes. Mr. Louis Cuvillier, formerly of this city, but now a member of the 7ist New York Regiment, passed through this city yester- day with his command, en route to Chick- amauga Park. Miss Lelah Harrison, who has been the guest of Mrs. W. J. Boothe on North Washington street for some time, returned to her home in Winchester yesterday. Mr. John M. Johnson will leave today for the White Sulphur Springs, to be gone a month. The services in the Railroad Reading Rooms last night were conducted by the Central Mission workers of Washington. An interesting meeting was held. There were no cases for trial fn the po- lee court this morning, no arrests having been made during the past twenty-four hours. >— ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE. Twenty-Three Organizations Repre- sented at the Meeting Last Night. Twenty-three affiliated bodies answered to roil-call at the regular meeting of the District of Columbia Ant!-Saloon League last evening. Douglas Memorial Church was admitted as a member. ‘The league met in its hall at 623 Louls!- ana avenue, with the president, James L. Ewin, in the chair, and spent the evening in discussing “The Saloon Nuisance and How to Abate It.” The foliowing communt- cation from a neighbor of a saloon in the northwest was read. The writer informed the league that a place heretofore closed by reason of violations of the law had been reopened. He said it is both unpleas- ant and unsafe for decent people, especlal- ly Jadies, to pass along the streets in the vicinity of the square in which this sa- loon ts located, there being fourteen similar places, besides two “grocery and liquor stores,” in the same locality. The league Was appealed to for aid in preventing the “final opening of this additional saloon.” Attorney Shoemaker explained that the saloon referred to is not additional, but is a transfer from elsewhere in the same block. It secured the necessary number of ignatures by another neighbor signing in order to have it moved further from his property. Mrs. Isabel Helmick and others reported from actual observation in confirmation of the communication, which-was signed by a well-known resident of the neighborhood. ‘The chair called attention to the men- tion in Saturday's Star of the action of the District Commissioners on a protest of the league against the form of the recent bids fer supplies, which limited bids for grocer- ies to those who could bid on intoxicating liquors, and the action of the Commission- ers in opening the bids to temperance gro- cers was commended by the league. ee é Thirteen-Year-Old Boy Missing. Inspector Mattingly has been requested by the Baltimore authorities to have his detectives look out for Emmett Glenn, thirteen years old, who disappeared from his home last Thursday. His parents live at No. 9 Linden avente in Baltimore. When the fuxitive left home he wore black knee pants and black stockings. The local police think he may have the war fever. ae SS Loafing Probibited. Loafing tn front of barrooms is going to be stopped by the police, and in this work the patrolmen will have the as- sistance of the Pollee Court. Last night Peliceman Hartley arrested Samuel Blue, John Stevenson, Charles Rose and John Oliver, all colored, for loitering in front of a saloon on 13% street. Blue’s_ personal bends were taken and his companions were fined $2 each by Judge Scott. ———— Fragrant, Spicy Carnations, 25¢. Dox. Gude’s are the best grown. 1224 F.—Advt.

THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, MAY 17, 1898-14 PAGES. AMUSEMENTS, ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—The Academy of Music was a center of dramatic interest last night. To Mr. James Young belongs the distinction of having offered Washing- ton theater-goers the first week of classic drama they have had in some little time: “The Lady of Lyons,” with all its artifi- clality of sentiment and stilted diction, must always rank as a poetic masterpiece. It is one of the plays to which actors turn with confidence when modern sources of material disappoint, and the public has the assurance that the mere recitation of its lines will be worth listening to. There was @ large audience in attendance last night, and the applause was frequent and hearty. The first appearance of the star is calcu- lated to strongly prepossess the spectator in his favor, He is a handsome youth, of fine figure and prepossessing manners. His Claude Melnotte is not a study character- ization. The artistic temperament looks forth from every line in the young man’s countenance, and it cannot be doubted that in one so evidently youthful the sensitive- ness so essential to an appreciation of his art may betray him into self-consciousness. His attitudes are graceful, but not perfect in repose; his declamations intelligent in the placing of emphasis, but restrained in their emotional force. He is to be applaud- ed for a cautious tendency to do too little rather than too much. If he develops no astonishing power he commits no unpar- donable errors. His natural gifts are so exceptional as to make his career well worth watching, and there is no doubt that he won many friends by his performance last night. Curtain calls were numerous, and the attention given him was close and unflagging. To hail Mr. Young as a fully-equipped Successor to the eminent tragedians of the preceding generation would be to announce a miracle. But to predict that he will oc- cupy a lofty place when the annals of the current stage are made up is to speak en- tirely within the limits of probability. His ideals are too high to be realized in a few seasons, and the capabilities demanded for their interpretation too great to be devel- oped at a bound. Vigor and spontaneity can only assert themselves with safety when the actor is a full master of the technique of his profession. The earnest- ness, ambition and intelligence displayed in last night's performance gave assurance that the other works in his repertoire for the week will be invested with exceptional grace of personality as to the principal roles, and presented with discretion. Miss Rida Johnson played Pauline in a manner which in no wise detracted from the ef- fectiveness of the love scenes. Mr. Young id his company are to be welcomed and encouraged for their efforts in a dramatic field where cunscientious endeavors are all tco scant. THE LYCEUM THEATER.—The Fay Foster Burlesque Company is one of the eldest and best-known attractions playing the vaudeville circuit. For years it has been recognized as a stellar attraction, and this year is no exception. There is a first- rate olio and a laughable burlesque. The feature of the performance, however, is the remarkable acrobatic contribution of the Couture Brothers. All of the difficult acrobatic feats were performed with an ease and grace that stamped them as mas- ters of the art. But it was in the difficult head stands and head springs that they particularly celled. When it is consid- ered t the smallest fraction of an inch either way in the running head spring would break their necks, the difficulties of the act are appreciated. Mile. Chenette on the high trapeze imitates Charmion in the disrobing aci. Stanley Whiting, assisted by a colored songster of no mean ability, was handsomely received. The burlesque which closes the show was laughable. BIJOU THEATER.—There {1s a good va- riety performance at the Bijou this week, and large audiences greeted both perform- ances yesterday. Gertrude Rutledge, a so- prano of good rank, is a leading feature, and the selections she presents are all high class. ‘Then there are John T. Tierney, the well-known comedian; the Dunbar Sisters, the Maginleys and others. The Bijou stock company opened and closed the entertain- ment, which is one of the best the Bijou has had for some time. GRAND OPERA HOUSR.—The Grand Opera House was crowded last night, when Black Patti and her troubadours gave a laughter-provoking entertainment that con- tained many musical features of high ex- cellence. The program was opened with the uproarious musical skit entitled “At Jolly Coon-ey Island,” in which Ernest Hogan provoked much merriment as Jim Jollies. Muny songs were introduced in the bur- lesque, and they were well executed and called forth immense applause from the au- dience. Black Patti (Mme. Sissieretta Jones) received an ovation when she sang the grand aria in Ardit’s “Inchantress.” She responded in several encores. Her rendition of “Suwanee River” was espe- cially meritorious. The cake walk called forth much merriment, the applause of the audience deciding the winners of the big cake displayed on the stage. Ernest Hogan gave an exhibition of his powers, and as an actor, dancer and singer he showed great cleverness, receiving ‘encore after encore. The program concluded with an operatic kaleidoscope, when renditions of selections from well-known composers were given, ending with the singing of national airs. The picture of Admiral Dewey was dis- played amid tumultuous applause. The en- tertainment is bound to be a great success and to continue to draw crowded houses. —__-___ AL OUTING, A Contemplated Trip to Leesburg by Society of S. A. R. Members of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution of the District and their friends will go tomorrow on an excursion to Leesburg, Va. This will be the annual outing of the society, and it is expected the occasion will prove to be ex- ceptionally enjoyable. The party will leave the Gth street station in special cars at 1 o'clock, reaching Leesburg at 2:52, and will return to this city at 8:40 o'clock the same evening. Conyeyances will be in walting to take the party to Ball’s Bluff, a ride of two miles, where appropriate services will be held in connection with placing an 8S. A. R. marker and a wreath of flowers on the heretofore neglected grave of Colonel Bur- gess Ball, a patriot of the revolution and a friend and relative of General Washing- ton. Returning to Leesburg, dinner will be served at the Leesburg Hotel, Should the weather prove inclement the outing will be postponed until Thursday. The committee in charge is as follows: John B. Wight, chairman; William H. Pearce, sec- : W. Eleroy Curtis, John Paul Er- harles H. Taintor, Lloyd B. Wight Leupp. —__-—__ THE WORK OF NURSING. Daughters of American Revolutiop Arranging Its Plans. A general meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution was held last evening at the Ebbitt House, Mrs. Simon Newcomb, the District regent, presiding. Plans for carrying on the work undertaken by the society in connection with the war were discussed. A report was made by Mrs, Amos G. Draper, the treasurer of the recently ap- pointed hospital corps of the goeiety, of which Dr. Anita Newcomb MéGee is in charge. “ Mrs. Draper stated that over 1,400 appli- cations for positions to nurse in the army and navy had been received. A large cler- ical force will be ni » and she re- quested all ladies wh@@would like to take t to notify her. then stated that our of the nurses appointed by the corps had already gone south, and that six more will leave the first of next week on the hos- pital ship leaving New York for Key West. Others will leave for Atlanta within a short time. Sixty of the ladies present signified their intention of aiding in the clerical work. Mrs. Draper also reported that a number of contributions had already been received in the shape of money and necessaries for the nurses who will be appointed by the society. Contributions have also been re- ceived for the soldiers who have been and may be wounded. The first contribution, she said, had come from Massachusetts, and the second from Virginia. Almost ali the states had sent in conributions and had signified their intention of co-operating in every manner possible. Appreciation was expressed that the so- elety had been selected to furnish nurses for the war, and, on motion of Mrs. Ida Beall, a vote of thanks to the surgeons general of the army and navy was adopted. a —aae Stock-Reducing Furniture Sale.

Leo Ansley, five years old, tumbled into the big fountain in the Botanical Gardens yesterday afternoon between 8 and 4 o'clock, and died. son aftey he was taken from the water. When rescued the child Was hurried to the Emergency Hospital, but death claimed Bim before he could be placed under a physician's care. The little boy wag-a son of Henry Ansley, who keeps a jewelry stere at 217 Pennsyl- vanla avenue nerthwest. He was permitted to go with two Mttle companions to the gar- den to play. His father was not at home and his mother -was sick in bed. The three little children had been in the habit of play- ing im the grounds, and yesterday they Went over to amuse themselves about the big foantain. After they had been there some minutes Leo's hat fell in the water and it was soon out of his reach. In at- tempting to get the hat he fell in the pool, which is several feet deep. He soon re- gained his footing, and his companions thought no harm would come to him, for he seemed to enjoy the cold bath, and laughed at them. For some reason he sud- denly disappeared under the surface of the water, and his little companions became frightened and made an outcry. One of them went for the unfortunate boy's fath- er, but failed to find him. Mrs. Ansley got out of bed and made a frantic effort to go to her boy's assistance. She fainted, how- ever, and had to be cared for by friends. In the meanwhile the park watchman had taken the boy from the water. Agents Haynes and Reiplinger of the Hu- mane Society, who happened to be in the neighborhood of the garden at the time, wrapped the dying boy in a blanket and drove to the hospital as rapidly as possible. As stated, this was a futile effort. Coroner Carr made an investigation, and Gave a certificate of accidental death. ——._—_ CHORAL SOCIETY MEETING. Annual Reports Received Making Ex- hibit of Season’s Work. The annual meeting of the Washington Choral Society was held last evening at 1004 F street, the president, Prof. H. M. Paul, in the chair. Vacancies in the board of managers were filled as follows: Miss Amy C. Leavitt, Prof. H. M. Paul, Mr. D. G. Pfieffer, Mr. Edwin A. Hill, Mr. Thomas P. Woodward, term ending in 1901; Miss Margaret Van Ness, term ending in 1900; Mr. H. M. Lord and Mr. C. J. James, term ending in 1899. Mr. Millard gave notice that he desired to offer an amendment which will have as its object the formation of a nominating committee. The matter was referred to the board of managers. ‘The new board will meet Thursday even- ing for election of officers and preliminary organizaticn. Amendments to the by-laws were adopt- ed as follows: First, making sustaining members eligible for election to the board of managers; second, empowering the board to divide the duties of financial sec- retary from time to time if it shall see fit; and third, giving the board general author- ity to appoint such committees from its membership as it shall find necessary. The summary of receipts and expenses, in the report of the president, showed a clearing off of old debts, amounting to $513, during the year; the closing of the beoks with $53 in the treasury, and all debts paid eacept the funded debt to its vice-president. On this the regular annual payment of $100 had been made, reducing the aggregate to $400, the only outstand- ing indebtedress of the society. The year’s work, considered by itself, showed an excess of $196 of receipts from concerts and dues over total expenses, which was regarded as a most encouraging exhibit. The president’s report further stated that the Messiah continues to be the most profitable and popular of the works pre- sented by the seclety, in spi of the fact that it is the custom of the society to give this oratorlo annually. At the singing of the Messiah, the audierce numbered 1,28; at the American composers’ concert, 1,204; and at the Spectre Bride, 848. ——— European Jealousy of America. To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘The communications in yesterday’: of The Star in reply to my observatio: garding the powers gave me a certain sat- isfaction, showing as they did that my article had struck home. ‘These writers may now understand how patriotic Ameri- cans have felt who for generations have secn the press of Europe teeming with abuse of America, and have been forced to hear discourteous observations about Americans even when guests at private entertainments. The expediency of pub- lishing the statements I made may be a matter for honest difference of opinion. The powers being enmeshed by their own complications in any action they may take, jointly or singly, will not be influenced by American opinion, but by what they consider their own Interests in view of their growing, watchful jealousy of Amer- re fea. There think it impor ernment should labor under no del at this crisis as to the real anim possible intrigues of Europe. Fore forearmed. Our short-sighted parsimony finds us now with an insufficient navy, though money spent in our own ship s would return to the people. Are we like- wise going to blind ourselves, ostnch like, to the real opinions of Europe? If any one chooses to believe that Fra in the condition in which she then w the edge of chaos, unselfishly spent 000,000 for a nascent republic rather than for her own interests, or that a man like peleon ceded the Louisiana purchase out of love to the United States rather than because he was too envbarrassed to look after it and needed the money, then his credulity is past arngument. For the rest, I do not see that my facts have been met by anything but intemper- ate personal flings or side issues. The isolated case of the Harvard proves noth- ing against the general trend of public opinion in Europe. I am in a position to reaffirm all my statements, any inter- ested statements to the contrary notwith- star ding. As for my opportunities for judging the status of foreign nations, it is sufficient to cbserve that I have hed the honor to represent the United States as ‘minister and consul general. Officially or as a pri- vate citizen I have passed twenty-six years among the people of whom I have writ‘en, and have enjoyed abundant opportunities for studying their literature and arts, their history, institutions, character and’ opin- ions. As to France, a country which for many reasons I like and admire, I am as familiar with Its literature and language as with my own. So far as I am concerned, this discussion ends here, the truth of my statements re- quiring no further argument. May 17, 1898. S. A. W.

At the regular weekly meeting last even- ing of the Central Labor Union President N.C. Sprague occupied the chair, and Mr. J. M. Kreiter was secretary. The joint committee on the observance of Labor day was given full power to act in the matter of a proposed parade on that occasion, The committees will communicate with the various organizations in the city, and if the replies received are favorable, the organizations will be requested to ap- point committees to form a joint commit- tee of those unions intending to participate. The delegate from the Bakers and Cor fectioners’ Union reported that, as heret: fore stated in The Star, the bakeries throughout the city have raised the price ot bread 1 ceyt per loaf. This action was, the delegate stated, made necessary be- court of the great advance in the price of lour. The statement was made that the man- ager df a market. had discharged two en- gineers, one of whom is affiliated with the Central Laber Union, and the other con- nected with the National Association of Steam Engineers, and had put in their Places men who are not allied with the Central Labor Union, and that the dis- charge of the former was a violation of a contract made between the owner of the market and the Central Labor Union. The secretary was directed to write to the own- er and inform him of the facts, as above stated, and to say that the Central Labor Union regards this action of the manager of the market as a breach of the existing contract and demands the immediate em- (piles of a member of No. 14, Engineers’ nion, which is allied with the Central La- bor Union. A special committee was appointed to in- vestigate a complaint against the proprie- tors of a suburban resort, who, it is stated. are not employing union labor, after hav ing agreed to do so, and the secretary was directed to inform the parties that if they do not peremptorily discharge the non- union men and employ union labor, they will be listed as unfair, to be under no cir- cumstances removed therefrom. It was decided that, in the interest of the union label, it should be the duty of the central body to furnish the secretary the names of all persons,and those of the unions to which they belong, who are known to purchase goods without such label and who patronize unfair places of business. Tha list will, it was stated, be published once a month by the secretary. Delegates from Press Feeders and Assist- ants’ Union, No. 42, which was recently or- ganized, were admitted. They are: Miss Swearinger, Miss Hayes, Miss Brown, Miss Morrison and Miss Highberger. Se AUTHORIZED TO PRACTICE. Diplomas Given Graduates by George- town University Medical School. The forty-ninth commencement exercises of the medical department of the George- town University took place last night at the Columbia Theater. Despite the bad Weather, the theater was crowded to the doors. Seventeen young gentlemen re- ceived diplomas certifying to their medical knowledge and bearing the seal of the old university. After the rendition of several musical Rev. Jerome Dougherty, 8. J., rief address. He was followed by Dr. William C. Gwynne, who delivered the valedictory. He spoke of the nineteenth century being the golden age of science, and told of the two great epics of science being tho discovery of anesthesia and bac- teria. Professor Ernest La Plate of Philadel- phia delivered the address to the gradu- ates.
