Exercises Had by Confederate Veter- ans at Woodside, Md. The members of the Confederate Veteran Association of this city and Rockville, Md., yesterday held exercises at the graves of the confederate dead in Grace Church cem- etery, Woodside, Md. After singing by the choir, prayer was offered by Rev. J. W. Duffy of Mt. Vernon Place M. E. Church, and an address was delivered by Mr. Wil- liam A. Gordon, who referred to the grace- ful act of the Gra d Army men who had decorated the graves before the members of the assoctation reached the cemetery. Rev. F. A. Stier recited the poem “Bivou- ae of the Dead,” and the exercises were brought to a close with the singing of the doxology. After the ceremonies a large party was invited to the home of Mrs. Laura C. Wil- son at Woodside, and among the number Was Major Eugene C. Gordon, a brother of Gen. J. B. Gordon of Georgia. Upon being introduced to Mrs. Wilson she took him to the dining room and pointed out a spot upon the floor where he lay wounded in July, 1864, and leaving the room for a few minutes, she returned with an old_blood- stained vest, and handed it to Maj. Gordon, saying she kept it, feeling sure the owner would some day call for it. —_+—— Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate. Frank T.

The - surround DECIDE BY REFERENDUM International Typographical Union Holding Its Annual Election Today. Instructions to Voters Forbid Dupli- cating —Members in Arrears Ex- clauded—List of the Candidates. A referendum vote for officers of the In- ternational Typographical Union is being held today at the various chapels in this city. This is the first time a vote of the kind has been taken for officers of the in- ternational organization, and it excites great Interest among union printers. The instructions to voters are: “Ballots must be taken, and only sheets supplied by the International Union can be used. “Every member should be given an op- portunity to vote. “Local unions should adopt measures maintaining the purity of elections. Bal- lots should be preserved until there is no Possibility of complaint regarding count. “Members cannot vote more than once at this election. Those suspected of hav- ing veted previously should be challenged and compelled to subscribe to the declaca- tion in section 12, article IV, International Constitution. A note should be made of such cases, ‘The offens> of illegal voting or misrep- resenting returns is punishable by the sub- ordinate unions on the iaternational ex- ecutive council. In no case shall the pun- ishment be less than a fine of ten dollars. ‘The president and secretary must make returns to headquarters within forty-elght hours of close of poll. “Be careful to vote only for the number of candidates named on the ballot. To vote for two where only one is to be elected nullifies the ballot for that office. Members in Good Standing. “Only those who are in possession of a current working card, and have discharged all financial obligations to the union, can vote. Those owing the union money are not eligible as voters, local laws to the contrary notwithstanding. “All active members in good standing can vote for all officers.

The staff. officers of the District Na- tional Guard yesterday decorated, at Arling- ton, the grave of Gen. Albert Ordway, late commander of the District militia, with garlands of rare flowers, the mound being entirely hidden from view. The offi- cers also remembered the graves of Gen. McCook and Major John G. Burke, bestow- ing upen them many handsome floral pieces. This action 1s understood to have been suggested by Col. George H. Harries just before he left for the south at the head of the Ist District of Columbia Volunteers. pune SE PHYSICIANS TO THE POOR. Several Appointments Made and the Districts Rearranged. Pursuant to the purpose of Dr. Wm. C. Woodward, the District health officer, to rearrange the districts aesigned to the phy- sicians to the poor, the Commissicners have approved the suggestions made and today ennounced the changes in the personnel of the corps. These changes, as was recently explained in The Star, are made for the Furpose of equalizing the number of pa- tients to be attended, it having been found by Dr. Woodward that the daily average of patients cared for by the physicians to the poor ran from .50 in some of the north- Western districts to 4.50 in some of the southwestern districts. To effect these anges in the rearrangement of the dis- tricts, it became, therefore, necessary to sk for the resignation of some of the physicians to the poor in the districts thinly populated by the poor and appoint addi- ticnal physfefans in those sections where the poor predominate. The resignations sked for were, therefore, not desired be- se of any complaints made against the physicians in question. The changes annourced and approved by the Commissioners are as follows: Drs. Louis J. Battle, Wilfred M. Barton, 8. Clifford Cox, Franeis R. Hagner and John L. Nerris are hereby appointed physicians to the poor at $# per month each, to take effect June 1, 1898, vice Drs. F. A. Mazzei and James R. Tubman, whose resignations wre hereby accepted; Drs. H. T. Harding d Charles M. Emmors, whose terms have expired, and Dr. Duff G. Lewis, whose ser- vic re hereby dispensed with, to take effect May 31. Dr. S. Clifford Cox is hereby allowed in- definite leave of absence by reason of his having entered the military service of the United States, and Dr. James R. Tubman is appointed to serve Guring his absence. ——__—_ Court Trusts Him. John Maloy, a cripple, who has been in trouble many times, was before Judge Scott today because he was drunk and dis- orderly last night. “I'll plead guilty,” he said, “and ask your honor to trust me until Saturday to pay the fine.” “Maloy’s a good feliow,” Bailiff Kendig said, “but he will get drunk.’ “What about his paying the fine?” the court asked. “He's been trusted before,’ answered the bailiff, “and he’s always kept his word.” ‘The court imposed a fine ef $3 and trust- ed Maloy until Saturday. es Dies on the Strect.

COLUMBIA THHNATHER.—it is rare that @ two weeks’ run is given any production in Washingtcn, but the attendance at the Columbia Theater last week justified an extension of the presentation. In the opin- ion of many “Heid by the Enemy” is the best war drama written. Its merit does not consist in the explosion of gun pow- der or the display of flamboyant declama- tion. It could not be a war @rama without its dark side, but that side is not con- stantly presented. For the most part it is svegested or threatened rather than ex- hibited. Mention has been made before of the capable company cast for the play. ‘The roles are portrayed with an intelli- gence and sympathy that is pleasing and wins constant approval. One defect was noticeable last night and was doubtless due more to carelessness than incom- petence. The simulated galloping of the horse was so poorly done as to excite won- der as to what was meant. Patriotic airs were rendered by the Columbia orchestra, and were the occasion for a loyal demon- stration, which was made again on the conclusion of the play when the tableau was presented of the apotheosis of re- union and conciliation. PAIN'S FIREWORKS.—There was a largé and disappointed crowd at the Base Ball Park last night to witness what had been advertised as “an inspiring reproduc- tion of the battle of Manila, with twenty ships in action—also a realistic blowing up of the Maine.” Had Mr. Pain advertised simply a display of a dozen skyrockets and as many set pieces in different colored fire the audience would probably not have been so large, but {t would also not have been so mad when it left the grounds a few minutes after 9 o'clock. The “battle of Manila” consisted of five little ships out- lined in fire. A set-piece portrait of Ad- miral Dewey aroused much enthusiasm, while a small circus band played ‘Hail ‘o the Chief. There was no blowing up of the Maine. By far the most meritorious part of the evening's display were the rockets. THE “MIKADO.”—Glen Echo began the week last night with an immense crowd on the grounds and in the amphitheater, where the Parry Opera Company gave its delightful rendition of the “Mikado.” The two performances yesterday were marked by a smoothness that impressed the vast audience with the talents of the principals and the well-trained chorus, It is no easy matter for a singer to fill the big auditori- um at Glen Echo, but Mr. Parry’s stars are equal to the task. There are many favor- ites in the company already, Miss Arline Crater as Pitti Sing and Viola d’Armon as Katisha making instantaneous hits with each succeeding audience. The “Mikado” will be continued the remainder of the peek with “Olivette” as the next produc- tion. “THE HULA GIRL.'’'—The first produc- tion of “The Hula Girl,” the burlesque in which the students of the Columbian Uni- versity will appear, will take place tonight at the Lafayette Square Opera House. The non-arrival of certain properties and cos- tumes caused a postponement from last night, but it is said all will be in readiness for a grand opening tonight. MANAGER KERNAN'S BENEFIT.—The benefit tendered Manager Kernan last night was in every way befitting his great popu- larity. It has become a custom in recent years to set aside the proceeds of a per- formance for the benefit of Manager Eu- gene Kernan, and this has been the occa- sion of a turning out of his legion of friends. At both performances yesterday the house was packed, and the entertain- ment was heartily enjoyed. The Broadway Girls’ Burlesque Company contributed large- ly to the success of the benefit, and Miss Susie West and Peter Barnes tendered their services at the evening performance. The regular performance at the theater this week is one of the best attractions of the season, and will prove an excellent dra’ ing card for the week. Englehart and Ro: came in for great applause in their athlet specialty, and Williams and Hood proved an entertaining couple. Miss Marle Rich- mond had a bouquet of new songs, which she rendered in her excellent style, and Sam and Mac Brooks had a brilliant set-to of witticisms that cenvulsed the audience. The Darling Sisters proved terpischorean favorites, and Harry and Dolly Carlons as the Texas girl and the circus man were prime favorites. Benett and Rice, in illus- trated songs, closed the olio, and then came the: afterpiece, “An Artist Model,” which Was quite spicy. ———— SCHOOL OF ELECTRICITY. Annual Commencement of a Local Instituti Members of the graduating classes of the Bliss School of Electricity last evening recelved their diplomas, the exercises of the fifth annual commencement being held in the Calvary Baptist Sunday school house. The graduates marched into the room while the band played Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever.” After an invocation by Rev. E. W. Bliss, the president of the school, Loais D.

To the Kdltor of The Evening Star: In reply to observer in your issue of this date, regarding the cherry-destroying spar- rows, I wish to answer that if his or her observations were accurate they would more than probably find that the birds, instead of destroying the fruit, are busily devouring the innumerable small insects infesting the delicate foliage below the buds. I have repeatedly observed the sparrows perched on the branches of my rose bushes, busy at what to superfiuous or first notice would appear the destruction of the young flowers, but upon examination I found that the -birds were engaged, often on little stems or branches so slender as to sway with the weight of the intruders, in feast- ing on the slugs and other insects with which the foliage is very prolifically burd this In conclusion Fifth ~and without the “sparrows. we: thing but comfort or pleasure parlor-garden city, and we- would introduce the sparrow, with all comings, welcome their SOME EXCELLENT.

On Saturdays target tickets are sold for $1.10 a hundred, and on other days the tickets are two cents each. The generous policy adopted by the club is being widely appreciated, and a very decided revival of the interest in trap shooting, that almost lied out in recent years, is noticeable. An- other all-day tournament will be held July 4, and events will be arranged for valuable special prizes. ————— Accused of Trespa: An elderly man, whose name was given as Edward Washburn, was arrested last night by Park Watchman Cook in the Ag- Ticultural grounds on a charge of trespass It is said his name is Windom, and that he formerly lived in Montgomery county, id.

Hundreds of Men, Women and Chil- dren Participate. The inauguration of the bathing beach for the season of 1898 took place yester- day, and hundreds of men, women and children took advantage of the free en- tertainment, while thousands lined the banks as spectators. Under a board of managers, the beach this year promises to exceed in usefulness its past record. Not that the past has been lacking in everything that, under the circumstances, would make it perfect, but because it was impossible for one man to give the beach proper attention, he being unable to give it his entire time. The board of managers has already made several im- provements, and the pool for beginners has been materially changed. Mondays, Wed- nesdays and Fridays between 7 and 10 a.m. have been set apart for ladies and their escorts. The life guard has been put on patrol duty, and everything made as safe and comfortabie as possible. —_>-—_ The Annual Farce. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I notice in the papers the statement that the Commissioners have concluded to en- force the law against the newsboys, etc., for “making needless noise or outcry,” and disturbing the public. I do not believe there is another city in the country where this nuisance exists to the same extent as here, and the newsboys are not half as bad in that respect as the hucksters, who go about the city offering the stale fish, ber ries and vegetables, which cannot be sold in the markets—the refuse. They often go in pairs, first one and then the other yelling at the top of their voices, so that citizens sitting on their porches cannot hear each other speak, and if a citi- zen speaks to them about it, they are sim- ply told to “go to h as I was by one of them but a few days ago! This is no new thing, and year after year complaint has been made to the Commissioners and to the police, but in vain. It would be laughable were it not a seri- ous matter to see in the’ papers every few months the announcement that the au- thorities have concluded to enforce the law, first for one thing and then for an- other, but which, after a Httle spurt, 4 never done. What are laws for if not to be enforced— not occasionally, but all the time? What are officials, police, etc., for, if not for that? I have no faith that this new spurt will amount to anything, judging from the past, though heaven knows there is plenty of reason for action. SUFFERING CITIZEN.
