LAW AGAINST EXPLOSIVES Prosecutor Pugh Announces That It Shall Be Strictly Enforced, Two Boys Fined for Discharging Fire- c1ackers—Provisions of the Reg- ulations—Dealers’ Permits. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh announced this morning in the Police Court that the law against the use of fireworks will b2 rig- idly enforced, and he will ask that the court impose penalties in all cases brought by the police. There were two all colored boys tried for violating the law, and they were fined $10 each, the lowest p2nalty. The boys were Joseph Chase and James Mat- thews, nine and thirteen years old. Policeman Tyser of the fifth precinct ar- rested the boys last night, on 3d street southeast, after a number of firecrackers and rockets had been exploded. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh called Judge Scott's attention to the police regulations bearing on the question of explosives. Sec- tion 5 of the regulations says: “No gun, rifle, pistol or other firearms, torpedo, firzcrackers, squib or other fire- works shall be discharged or set off within the limits of the city of Washington, or within the fire limits of the District of Co- lumbia outsid> of said city, or in or on any public road or highway within the said Dis- trict, without a special permit therefor from the major of police: Provided, how- ever, That the provisions of this section shall not apply to licensed shooting galler- ies and similar establishments betwe2n the hours of 6 o'clock a.m. and midnight of the secular days of the week.” The next section in the regulations pro- vides a penalty of not less than $10 nor more than $40. Policeman Testifies. In explanation of the case Policeman Tyser said that because of the use of fire- works on 3d street southeast a number of complaints had been made. People, he said, are unable to sleep at night. Last night there was a crowd of boys on the street, but these were the only ones who were caught. Chase, the smaller of the defendants, told the court that a man gave him a firecracker and he set it off. He had been in court be- fore, and he was unconcerned about what the judge would do with him. On the other hand, the larger boy made so much noise crying that the court couid hardly under- stand what he said. “Have these boys been locked up all night?" inquired the court. “I left $5 collateral for my boy,” said Mrs. Matthews. “The police had no right to take $5 col- lateral,” Mr. Pugh said, “for $10 is the lowest penalt; The Court's Action. The court imposed the lowest penalty and permitted but a few days on the farm in default, instead of thirty days, the usual term for a $10 penalty. Under the regulation, dealers in explo- sives are required to obtain permits. These permits are given by the chief of police and no charge for them is made. Major Moore is already receiving applications for such permits for the dealers who expect to sell fireworks for the Fourth of July. pan Sees ASSOCIATED CHARITIES. Work for Month of M Secretar; At the monthly meeting of the board of managers of the Associated Charities, held yesterday at the central office, $11 G street 'y Detailed by northwest, the report of the general sec- retary, Mr. George S. Wilson, was present- ed. It detailed the work for the month of and Stated that “the total number of plications for relief made to the society during the month cf May was 137, of which 78 were made by white families and 59 by colored, while during the month of April the number of applications for relief was 206, showing a falling off of 69. In May, 1897, the total number of applications was 115, so that the applications of May of the year were 22 more than during y-two persons applied for 5 being white and 17 colored, and employment was found for 13 persons, permanent employment for 7 and tempo- rary employment for 6. ief was procured for 89 families, as follows: From churches for 6 fami trom private relief societies for 6 fam: from benevolent individuals for 12 families, from the Golden Book Fund for 6 fam and from the Citizens’ Relief Association for ) families.” The report concludes: “Our agents are making regular visits to collect small sav. ings from those who might be able to lay up something through the summer to pro- vide for the coming winter. Nineteen new vings books have been given out during May, making in all 144 books that have yeen taken out. The amount of savings deposited during the month was $44.70. At the end of May last year the total num- ber of books out was 71 and the amount deposited during the month was $7.80." oo BIBLE FOR MRS. we Presentation Made by Representath of Sabbath Alliance. Mrs. Wellington White of New York, fleld secretary of the Woman's National Sabbath Alliance, accompanied by Mrs. D, A.

AMUSEMENTS. “WON AT LAST.’—Steele Mackaye’s do- mestic comedy drama, “Won at Last,” will be the next offering of the Columbia com- edy company. In this it would seem that Mr. Barrows has succeeded in gauging the popular taste of Washington much better than Mr. Bergman, who directed the com- pany last summer, for the two plays offer- ed up to date, “Held by the Enemy” and “Brother John,” have pleased better than the whole list of last summer's farces, with the possible exception of “Niobe” and “In- nocent as a Lamb,” and “Won at Last” promises to make three of a kind. It is a domestic drama, dealing with a loveless marriage between a society man and a high-spirited American girl, who is not in- clined to submit to being slighted. The manner of her resentment, while it threat- | ens to bring about a separation, results in a courtship after marriage and the com- plete reconciliation of the pair. Charles and Rose Coghlan originated these rol and it is safe to predict that they-will hav: worthy successors in William Ingersoll and Maud Haslam. James O. Barrows will have the part of an eccentric but good- hearted old professor, and the larger part of the Columbia company will be enlisted in the production. Meanwhile ‘Brother John” is finishing the week to good busi- nes: “CHIMES OF NORMANDY.”—‘Olivette” is proving a winner at Glen Echo and de- lighted audiences nightly throng the great amphitheater. It would be untruthful to say that the auditorium is filled, for it would take ten thousand people to do that, while the ordinary theater audience looks very small indeed in the great circle. But the or- chestra floor is filled up solidly every night, while in the tiers hundreds of people come and go at will, for the amphitheater is so large that there is no trouble about getting in and out. The cast of “Olivette’ is one of the best that has ever been seen here in summer opera, including as it does Miss A!- leen Crater, Frank Deshon, George Broder- ick, Jay Taylor, Viola D'Armon and Harry Carter; and from this roster of principals Mr. Parry should certainly be able to make up an excellent cast for “The Chimes of Normandy,” which is underlined for next week, while the chorus may be relied upon to do full justice to Planquette’s numerous celebrated ‘concerted numbers. The day at- tractions of the Glen are now in full op- eration, and the increase in the number of picnic parties is sufficient proof of the pop- ularity of the place. The trolley lines have increased the number of their cars, and by means of ‘special side tracks in the grounds are able to carry the largest crowds in the shortest possible space of time. —_ + EXCURSION, This week may be the last for those fam- ous planked shad dinners that have tempted so many to take the sail down the Potomac and spend the day at Marshall Hall. The season for shad is about over, and those who have not enjoyed a planked shad din- ner at Marshall Hall should certainly go within the next few days. Planked shad dinner, including the famous Marshall Hall clam chowder, is served In the big dining hall on the arrival of the boat.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN The Twenty-Third Annual Commencement of Linthicum Institute. Institution of Chapter of Eastern Star—The Officers Imstalled—Gas Company » Officers. The twenty-third annual commencement ot Linthicum Institute was held last even- ing at Linthicum Hail. The seating capac- ity of the hall was filled, but there was no overcrowding, a feature which marked the exercises of other years, The students ac- quitted themselves well, and kept the at- tention of the large audience all through the evening. The program opened with prayer by Rev. W. S. Hammond, pastor of the Congress Street M. P. Church. The opening comedy, “Wanted, a Male Cook,” proved very catchy. Mr. Hearth- well, an old bachelor, the character as- sumed by P. J. Ford, had considerable Gifficulty in securing a cook, among the applicants being Joshua Slocum, from Greenville, Me.; Teady Ryan, Erin’s pride, and Francois, a stave and polite French aspirant. These parts were taken by Otto Niemeyer, Frank Van Sant and Bernhard Niemeyer, respectively. The main farce of the evening was the celebrated case, “The Ready-Made Suit,” the scene of which was in the court of “uncommon pleas.” The defendant in the case happened to be a woman, aptly as- sumed by Frank Scott, who was charged with having nine husbands, all living, all of whom were tailors. She was acquitted on the novel plea that it took nine tailors to make aman. Mr. R. B. Phelps was the judge; Peyion B. Fletcher, the prose- cuting attorne: F. M. Goodwin, counsel for the defense; Calvin T. Milans, clerk of the court, and John Ockershausen, the sheriff. The jury consisted of E. “C. Haneke, foreman; J. Ellis E. Woods, Oito Niemeyer, Albert Oettinger, C. M. Deener, W. S. Phelps, Frank Van Sant, J. Todd, Ernest Hess, P. J. Ford and E. Perry. Every member of the jury bore the name of Smith. The witnesses summoned were the hus- bands of the prisoner, as follow: William F. Allen, as John Snyppe; B. McC. Lea>h, as Emile de Gussett; E. H. Bogley, as Jean Lapel; George T. Nixon, as Ernesto Casameri: Maurice Si: eimer, as George ster; Theodore R. Higgs, as Isaac Gut- entag; Bernhard Niemeyer, as Levi Cohen; W. B. Boteler, as Patrique O'’Reille; G. Walker Gilmer, as Henry Prowde. Donald Miller appeared as the Lawyer Brief. Prizes Awarded. The awards of the prizes were made by Mr. E. B. Hay. Before naming the results he announced the fect that the finances of the sckool were in a badly crippled state and that another endowment in conneci{on with the original endowment of Edward Magruder Linthicum would be of material assistance. The first prize of $15 in gold was awarded to Frank M. Goodwin: the second prize of $10 in gold was given to R. B. Phelps, and the third prize of $5 in gold to W. B. Boteler. A special prize, a case of drawing instruments, given by Mr. Peters, the instructor in mechanical and architectural drawing, was given to W. F. Allen. This evening the students will assemble in the main class room: and the ann ial strawberry and ice cream festival will be even. Cha ler of Bastern Star.

Columbia Heights Association Takes Action Upon Pending Bill. The regular monthly meeting of the Co- lumbia Heights Citizens’ Association was held at St. Stephen’s Hall last evening, President Leo Simmons presiding. Much routine business was transacted, the asso- ciation urqualifiedly indorsiag a revort of the committee on parks, in which it was urged that every effort be made te secure the establishment of a park at the north- west corner of Columbia road and 14th street. The association also approved a letter written by President Simmons to Chairman Labcock of the House District committee, in which he assured Mr Bab- cock that the passage of House bill 1. fer the opening of lith street, is carnesv'y a ed by the people of Columbia Heights. The indorsement of Mr. Simmons’ letter was not an unanimous one, however, for jur. Rogers pointed out that the Dill in question provides that the District shall bear the entire expense. Such a departure from the rule of one-half of the expense in such matters being borne by the United States he believed would be setting a very bad example, one which would prcbably be too quickly followed by Congress in other like matters. Mr. L. M. Saunders agreed with Mr. Rog- ers, calling attention to the fact that not only does the bill provide that the District shall bear the whole expense the land, but also the whole expet grading the street and construct opening of the street would enhance the value of property of his, yet because ot the unfair provisions of the bill he wouid not support it, and trusted the associuticn would not indorse the letter of Mr. Sim- mons to the chairman of the House Oistrict committee. Other members called attention to a state- ment said to have been authorized by mem- bers of the House District committce taat unless the District bore the whole expense of opening the street the bill will fail, and the association approved Mr. Simmons’ let- ter to Chairman Babcock. Dr. Gibbs, from the committee on parks, exhibited a map showing a design of the proposed park at the corner of Columbia road and l4th street, explaining that the District Commissioners and the board cf trade favor the laying out of a park az this point. He and a number of members called attention to the fact that there is no park in Columbia Heights, and that unless this space Is reserved the whole section wili in a few years be entirely built up. The plau Was unqualifiedly indorsed upon the motion of Mr. Campbell, and the committee direct- ed to make every effort to secure the lay- ing out of the park. The resignations of G. B. Tomes and Patrick O'Farrell were accepted, and the following were elected members: A. G. Yount, William Helmus, F. H. Mackey, J. T. Dyer, Tus Mantz, Charles A. Hamil- ton, W. H. Dyer, Allen 8S. Johnson, Alex- ander H. Mullowney, John M. Hauderson and Robert T. Frazier. At the request of President Simmons he was relieved from serving as a delegate to the central citizens’ committee, and he ap- pointed Mr, Bates Warren in his place, and numed Mr. Saunders as chairman of the committee of delegates. Upon the motion of Mr. Bundy, Mr. Thomas Ryan, first assistant secretary of the interior, was made an honorary mem- ber of the association. ‘The executive committee was directed tu revise the constitution and by-laws, and report at the next meeting of the ussocia- tion, —_+>——_ EAST WASHINGTON CITIZENS. Mecting of the Association Held at Baum's Hall. The regular monthly meeting of the East Washington Citizens’ Association took place last night at Baum’s Hall, corner 4th nd East Capitol streets. While no busi- ness of importance was transacted, several special matters came up for discussion, and an interesting session ensued. Chairman M. I. Weller of the committee cn assessments and apportionment of ap- propriations, when his committee was call- ed, said it had no report to make, but he desired to call attention to the fact that the board of assessors was now engaged making a new assessment of the city property, and he advised all taxpayers in- terested to examine their assessments in order to file appeals if their property was rated too high. The committee on parks and reserva- tions, thrcugh Dr. Patten, offered a sug- gestion to label the trees in the parks and referred to the educational advantages such a system insured. Under the call of this committee, atten- tion was called by Mr. Weller to the in- siruetions given the committee several years ago to take steps to have the old market house site between 5th and 6th, K and M streets transformed into a public park.

Several matters of importance were re- ferred to their respective committees. Among these was © complaint against the 1etion Company. . committee on streets brought forth the mi ed Giscussion of the evening. This committee is intrusted with the recom- mendation of the association in the mat- ter of improvements in the eastern see- tion of the city. Chairman Carr of the committee submitted, the report. It rec- ommended the abolishment of the plan of the District Commissioners in the matter of street improvements, ‘This plan oontem- plates the improvement of streets accord- ing to Jule already made up and now § years in advance of the ap- propriations. Chairman Carr thought a new schedule should be made up each year. A long discussion followed, a majority of the speakers arguing against such a plan. It was finally decided to appoint a com- mittee to wait upon the Commissioners and discuss the advisability of apportion- ing the apprcpriations for strects into two parts, to be used for paving and grading and regulating, respectively. The meeting then adjourned. a {ILLINOIS SOLDIER FINED. all of the Had Indulged in Bad Conduct on Pennsylvania Avenue. Harry B. Smith, on3 of the 6th Illinois Volunteers, came over to the city from Camp Alger last night and indulged in un- seemly conduct on Pennsylvania avenue. Policemen Herndon and Stenhouse arrested him, only aftar he had failed to heed re- peated warnings. When placed under ar- rest he fell to the pavement and had to be carried to the station. “There are two sides to ey2ry story,” Smith told Judge Scott this morning, after the policemen had told of the bad language used. “Were you drunk?” the court asked him. “No, sir.’ “Had you been drinking?” “Y2s, sir,” answered the volunteer, “but not to excess. The policemen were questioned, and they said they had warned Smith several times, and had even gone so far as to start him away from the city, “My charact2r is as good as the officers,” protested Smith, ‘and is recorded with the 6th Illinois at Camp Alger.” “Were any of your comrades with you last night to see what you did?” “TI think not.” “When the officer warned you to leave why did you not go to camp?” the court in- quired. “I didn't hava to go back,” Smith an- swered, “because my pass hadn’t expired.” ‘The court told him it was his duty to have gcne when given the warning, and fined ‘him $5, or two weeks on the farm. ———— SCIENTIFIC COOKING. ‘Big Crowd at Cooking Demonstrations A large and fashionable audience greeted Miss Andrews yesterday afternoon. Miss Andrews cooked chops and peas, tea bis- cuits and strawberry tarts last evening, and they were served to those present. Tomor- row afternoon she will make curry of chicken, rice border, tomato sauce and Sally Lunns. The hall is tastefully arranged, and the numerous styles and shapes of Wels- bach lights were particularly beautiful. The use of gas in cooking is becoming more and more universal. Miss Andrews drew ap- plause in obtaining boiling water in precise- ly five seconds. The lectures will be con- tinued every afternoon from 3 to 4 p.ta. at 614 12th street, just seven doors above F. st.

Fine Imposed in Each Case—Sale of Milk Which Had Been Skim- med and Watered. Dairymen John C. Power and Samuel Snow were in the Police Court today for alleged violations of the dairy regulations Power, it was charged, sold milk that had | was | | ed been both skimmed and watered. He fined $5. It was alleged that Snow failed to keep his dairy in proper sanitary con- dition, and a fine of $10 was imposed on him. Prof. J. D. Hird of the health department Was complainant in both cases. He told Judge Scott that he bought milk at Power's dairy, No. 22 Sth street northeast, and an analysis showed that it had been both skimmed and watered. The adulteration, he said, amounted to 25 per cent, 15 from the loss of cream and 10 for the addition of water. Prof. Hird said his examination of milk at the depot received there for Mr. Power showed that the fluid was pure and rich. Mr. Power said that the milk sold was in- tended to be sold as skimmed milk, but he denied that it had been watered while in his possession. Alleged to Be Unclea Mr. Snow’s dairy is on 14th street ex- tended, near Mount Pleasant, and Prof. Hird said he had found it in a decidedly unsanitary condition. The room, he said, was dirty and poorly ventilated, and there was a gasoline stove in it. This, he said, helped to fill the room with foul odors. He also complained of mud and slime about the building. The defendant admitted that the dairy was not as clean as usual when the in- spection was made. He said that a change of help accounted for the wet condition of the place. A man who had been with him several years had enlisted and gone away without giving him notice, and he had to depend upon an inexperienced man. Judge Scott thought his excuse was not @ good one. This is said to be about the worst class of cases brought before the court at this season, and the court declared its purpose to aid the health department in the work of reform. The judge spoke of the sickness which might result from such @ condition of affairs, and said that while a fine of $10 would do in this case, heavier fines will be imposed for repetitions of the violation. —_——__.
