Opinion of Attorney Thomas Indors- ed by the Commissioners—Text of Attorney's Decision, The District Commissioners today ap- proved an opinion rendered by the attorney for the District, Mr. 8. T. Thomas, in which the law officer holds that there should be another attempt to apply exist- ing law to the enforcement of the collec- tion of personal taxes against the national tanks of the District before application is made to Congress for further legislation in the matter. But so far as the taxes for antecedent years are concerned, Mr. Thom- as is of the opinion that the Commissioners are without authority to levy such taxes. The opinion of the attorney was render- ed in reply to an inquiry made recently by Commissioner Ross, Mr. Ross being of the ion that the collection of such taxes can be enforced. The Commissioners’ ap- proval of the opinion means that the sug- sesticn of Mr. Thomas that another at- tempt be made to collect the taxes will be adopted by the Commissioners. The following is the opinion rendered by Attorney Thomas: “{ am unable to persuade myself that the general term of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia was correct in its disposition of the case of the sank of the Republic against the District of Columbia, in holding that national banks in this Di trict were exempt from personal taxes under the act of Congress of March 3; 1S77 (9 Stat., 396). Agrees With Mr. Ross. “I agree with the view of the matter pre- sented by Mr. Ross in his letter. I do not believe that the provision in section 7 of the act of March 3, 1877, that such ‘proper- ty as is exempt from taxes by laws of the United States’ had the effect of repealing, or that it was the intention of Congress to repeal, section 5219 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which provides: “That nothing in this act (June 3, 1864,) shall be construed to prevent all the shares in any of the said associations, held by any person or body corporate, from being in- cluded in the- valuation of the personal property of such person or corporation in the ment of taxes imposed by or un- wuthority at the place where such cated, and not elsewhere, but not at a greater rate than ts assessed upon r moneyed capital In the hands of in- dividual citizens of such states; provided, further, that the tax so imposed under the laws of any state upon the shares of any of iations authorized by this act shall the rate imposed upon the y of the banks organized under of the state where such associa- tion is located; provided, also, that nothing int ‘hall exempt the real estate of associations from either state, county or municipal taxes to the same extent, accord- ing to its value, as other real estate is taxe rhe provision in the act approved March . 1883 (22 Stat., 418), ‘that the taxes here. in specifically imposed by the laws now in force be, and the same are hereby, repeal- ed, namely, on capital and deposit of ban! bankers and national banking associations, except such as are now due and payable, would seem to support the view that Con- gress by the act of 1877 did not intend to exempt the shares of rational banks from taxation. ind authority The Proper Method. “The only way to bring the matter to the attention of the court again is to furnish the national banks with blank schedules, as provided in section 10 of the act of March 3, 1877, and to levy assesaments against them as provided in that act. If the banks rely upon the decision of the General Term of the Supreme Court of the Disirict of Columbia in the case above re- ferred to and deny the right of the Com- missioners to levy a personal tax upon thelr shares they will go into court and under- take to enjoin the collection of the tax and thus raise the question whether they are liable to pay personal taxes under the act of Is “So far as taxes for antecedent years are concerned the Commissioners are without authority to levy them. The statute does not contemplate retrospective assessments, but prospective. Under all the circum- stances, in my judgment, there should bu another attempt to apply existing law to the enforcement of the collection of per- sonal taxes against national banks in this District before application 1s made to Con- gress for further legislation.” ——_— THE BATHING BEACH. Growing in Popularity, but Lacking in Facilities. The past two weeks have been deal days at the bathing beach, and the boys have made the most of them. During that tim> nearly nine thovsand bathers were regis- tered, 1,270 of whom wers in Saturday. This is nearly flve tlmes as many as patronized the beach during the corresponding period last year. ‘The floats and baskets have been put in good order and a railing built around thre sides of them to ald the life guards in keep- ing control of the adventurous youngsters who ere just learning to swim, and who, like young birds just learning to fly, very often overrate thelr powers and skill and reed a deal of watching. The beach has received a much-needed resanding, and now cffets an agrceabls footing to those who prefer it to the baskets. The life guard service has been increased, and every pre- caution is takea that sxperience and fore- sight can suggest to keep all bathers under ful surveillance. The moinings, which are Mondays, W ednesd and Fridays, from 7 to Ww o'clock (for ladies and their escorts, if any, only), afford opportunities for women to joy fresh wat bathing under the most rable conditions. Within the baskets ies’ fav and Letween them and the shore the depth of the water is suited to beginners and learners, while th: expert swimmers can find full space for the display of their skill in the deep, broad water outside. The genial temperature of the water and air, it is said, renders bathing there com- fertable to the most sensitive and delicate. ‘or the past ten days the temperature has ranged from 74 to 84, and the water has been as clear as th» most fastidious could desire. The authorities hope to be able to arrange for evening hours also for ladies at an early day. The bathing beach has long since passed the stage of experiment, and is now regard- ed as much of a public necessity as a side- walk or sewer or any of the other adjuncts to physical and moral well-being. The bath house accommodations are very lradequate to meet the d>mands on busy days. and great embarrassment 1s only avoided at such times by the finesse of Of- ficer Sam Browne, the firm but kindly ma- jor domo at the beach, whose r2morseless whistle calls one set of bathers out in or- der to furnish bath house accommodations for another, long before the first has had enough. There should slso be a place for the shal- ter and rest of visitors. Hundreds now go down there and swelter on the rud> benches in the sun. The beach would be probably the most popular afternoon resort in the city if such accommodations were provided. -_ Waives Examination. Dennis Niland, who, as was stated in The Star several weeks ago, 1s alleged to have shot Mrs. Margaret Feeny with intent to kill her, was today arraigned before Judge Kimball. Niland waived examination and was held by Judge Kimball in $2,000 bail for the action of the grand jury. oe Charges D: kenness. Annie E. Cleary filed today a suit for 4ivorce from John J. Cleary. They were married in this elty January 28, 1886, by Father McNally, a Catholfe priest. ‘She charges her husband with drunkenness and cruelty. Her attorney is H. T. Wiswall. Ma ate Gasoline Stove Explodes. ‘The explosion of a gasoline stove caused @ fire in the house of J. B. Bowling, No. 1816 C street northwest, yesterday after- noon. Policeman Cramer turned in an alarm from box 1/6, and the fire depart- ment was soon upon the scene. There was not much for the firemen to do, however. The flames were soon extinguished and very little damage wes done, AMUSEMENTS, NATIONAL THEATER-—The questions one naturally asks about the National Opera Comique Company's opening at the New National Theater last night are, Was the theater cool? and, next, Was the com- pany good? The first can be answered affirmatively without reservation, and the other with the statement that the audience seemed pleased, encored frequently and sat contentedly till the last note sounded from the orchestra. The theater was bower-like in appearance. The lobby was rendered in- viting by clumps of palms, ferns and fresh, green. plants. Inside electric fans, hidden among ferns, sent swirling currents from the proscenium arches toward the audience, and from the balcony ceiling great fans cooled the air, so that inside the audito- rium was’ more bearable than outside in the still, hot night. A large audience was present, and the manifestations of pleas- ure were frequent and abundant enough to satisfy the artists. Emphatic hits were made by Miss Carlotta Gilman, the prima donna; Adolph Mayer, Arthur Tempest and Miss Celie Ellis. Taken as a whole, the company gave remarkably smooth first- night renditions of “Pinafore” and “Caval- leria,”” and there is every promise of a sat- isfactory and profitable season. An unusual feature of the evening was the applause bestowed upon the director, Josa Van Den Berg, whose handling of the orchestra and chorus in the difficult passages of “Caval- was remarkably fine. The chorus, which on its feminine side is attractive, was large and sang with force and pre- cision. “Pinafore” somewhat modernized was the opening bill, and the first act was received rather coldly, as the artists have little chance to show their quality. More warmth of appreciation on the part of the specta- tors and less nervousness and diffidence by the piayers lifted the second act to the level of success. Miss Gilman was a pleas- ing Josephine. Miss Ellis was good, if a trifle too coarse, as Buttercup. Miss Ha was a passable but not pretty Hebe. Ad- olph Mayer was very good as Captain Cor- coran. Arthur Tempest made a handsome Boatswain and was cheered as he tied a red, white and blue handkerchief around his neck after singing “He is an English- man." The chorus rendered efficient ald. The surprise of the evening came as the performance of ‘Cavalleria’ progressed. Jt seemed as if an entirely new company was giving it. Every singer fitted his part in make-up and voice. The chorus let out their voices, the orchestra unloosed new tones from their instruments, and the di- rector led and commanded the whole with the air of a general winning a victory. All the weird, wild, romantie coloring of Mas- cagni's opera was brought out vividly and pleasingly. Encores followed nearly every number and the audience forgot to keep cool in showing their appreciation of the work of everybody. Miss Gilman as Santuzza was exceptionally good. She has a strong, dramatic voice, well trained and liquid in qualit, She uses it discreetly, sometimes, however, failing to enunciate as clearly as she should. Her acting in this role was most natural and by far the best given in this city during summer opera seasons. The costumes of the company were new and effective. The scenery was appropriate, and in every detail the purpose to giv complete and popular performance was evi- dent and deserves appreciation. Next week “The Grand Duchess" will be given. COLUMBIA THEATER.—Last night the Columbia Theater stock company got out of tha beaten track, and the audience found the excursion interesting and retreshing. “Won at Last’ is one of the pieces upon which the dust of years has been allowed to accumulate. It has been shelv2d to make room for some material that is better and a great deal that is not so good. Despite its newhat conventional title and its tradi- tional methods of developing situations, the play is a powerful one. It ts a forceful re- minder of the extreme idealistic tempera- ment of its author, Steele Mackaye, whose successful plays are less fitting memorials of his genius than th2 records of his strange, stupendous projects which failed. lighter phases of hyman existence and its problems would have but little attrac- tion for a writer of Mackaye's tempera- ment. “Won at Last” must b> classified as a comedy, because the misunderstandings are not allowed to work out to a conclusion of sadness, as they easily might. Yet life is often considered in its serlous aspect, and the touch2s of tenderness are more potent than the sallies of fun. Miss Maud Haslam plays the part of the girl who discovers on her wedding day that the husband whom she idolizes is a scoff-r at sentiment; that he has married her for reasons of social conveni2nce, and not because of loys. These facts are recited by the husband (Mr. Will- fam Ingersoll) in her hearing, and an es- trangement follows, which is heightened by the appearance of an old flame of his and en old lover of h2rs at inopportur ments. It is the introduction of these ch acters that causes the plot to become what mechanical toward the close of t play. But the cleverness and spirit with which th2 characters are interpreted causes the disposition to force events into accord: ance with picturesque requirements to be obscured by excellence in more important matters. James O. Barrows has often pleased and astonished his admirers by the facility with which he elicited laughter. Last night he delighted his audience by the laughs he did not provoke. H2 gave the character of the gentle, unworldly scientist a@n atmosphere of delicacy and sincerity which preserved all {ts humor without sac- rificing its dignity. Miss Haslam and Mr. Ingersoll were intelligent and dramatically 2ffective in all they did. Under all the eir- cumstances it would be sheer captiousness to ask for a more gracefully blase man or a more winsome or womanly heroine than the stock company’s leading man and lead- ing woman, respectively. Tho 128s respon- sible characters were assumed in a manner which reflected great credit upon the vari- ous members of the organization. CHIMES OF NORMANDY.—Last even- ing the Parry Opera Company inaugurated its third week of the summer season at Gien Echo by presenting the charmin, light opera, “The Chimes of Normandy. The threatening weather had some effe: on the attendance, though the large am- phitheater contained a number of specta- ters. The presentation of the light opera Was very successful, and thoroughly en- joyed by the audience, which was liberal in its applause. One thing especially noticeable was the excellent chorus work. This feature showed clearly that the com- pany is now in thorough working order, and the splendid support given the leading characters was commented upon by many. Indeed, so much was this so that a number of the tuneful choruses were obliged to be repeated owing to encores, The cast is well made up, and every char- acter shows up strongly. ' Viola D'Armon, as Germaine, the lost marchioness, is es- pecially interesting, her solo work being of high order. Allene Crater, as Serpolette, the good for nothing, piquant and viva- cious, just the reverse of Germaine, sings her score in a fine manner, and her ‘acting is of the same order. Her rise to the ranks of nobility, and her decline in the third act are well portrayed. The acting of Frank Deshon, who as- sumes the part of Gaspard, the miser, is of exceedingly high order, and clearly shows the range of acting of the comedian, whose appearance was s0 successful in “The Mikado” and in “Olivette.” As the aged and decrepit skinflint he carried his part to perfection, and so realistic was his por- trayal that at the end of the second act, when he ts surprised In the ghost scene in the Chateau de Corneville, that he was obliged to respond to a curtain call. The part is one that is extremely difficult to fill, yet Deshon did it in an eminently perfectly satisfactory manner. Charles R. Hawley, “Henri,” the mi: ing Marquis de Corneville, was also good, his appearance creating a favorable impres- sion in the roll and hig baritone solos being well rendered. His influence in the cast is evident. George Broderick, as the bailli, who has get his heart on Germaine, carries out his role in a good manner. Jay C. Taylor, as ‘Jean Grenichaux,” ‘the fisher- man with the streak of yellow in ‘his veins, takes his score in a good manner, and is in evidence in all of the three acts. His singing fs also excellent. Tom Daly, as the notary, affords considerable amusement in connection with Frank Stevens, as the registrar, and Guy ipenyard, the as- sessor, his assistant In addition to the chorus work, the other in the cast are Lizzie Winner, as “Jeanne;” Primrose Archer, as “Mannett Selina Rough, as “Gertrude,” and Annie Clay, as “Suzanne,” all of whom, while their parts may be impression, limited, create a favorable —— Thirty Days on the Farm, An elderly man named William H.

Address to Senate Committee on Education and Labor—Prepara- to for Labor Day. The Central Labor Union at its regular weekly meeting last evening, President N. C. Sprague in the chair, instructed the leg- islative committee to attend a hearing Thursday next before the Senate commit- tee on education and labor, when the op- ponents of the pending eight-hour bill are expected to present thelr views on the sub- Ject. The legislative committee reported that an address, of which the following is a cepy, has been forwarded to Senator Kyle, chairman of the above-named committee: “The legislative committee of the Cen- tral Labor Union of the District of Colum- bia, as directed by that body, respectfully esk that you report to the Senate the Dill (H. R. 7389) entitled ‘A bill limiting the hours of daily service of laborers, york- men and mechanics employed upon the public works or of work done for the United States or any territory or the District of Columbia.’ “We assure you that the working people of the entire country are very much in- terested in this measure, and they would be highly gratified should the bill be favor- ably reported by your honorable commit- tee.”” Labor Day Excursion. The committee of the Central Labor Union which is co-operating with a similar committee from the Building Trades Coun- cil on the subject of the Labor day excur- sion reported that at the last meeting of the joint committee various subcommittees were appointed and the details of the event were arranged. The committee which was appointed to co-operate with similar committees from labor bodies to devise means fér the de- fense of the men belonging to various 1 bor organizations here, who were indicted for conspiracy, reported that the joint ccmmittee had organized, and that active measures had been taken to carry out the ptrpose for which it was appointed. Attention was called to the fact that al- most a year ago Congress appropriated $10,000 for the purpose of building a wall around the District jail, but that no steps have been taken to ‘construct the improye- ment. As a result the money which would have given employment to a large number of people has remained idle, as have the people most directly interested, and t under the law the entire sum will be cover- ed into the treasury at the close of th present month, which is the end of the current fiscal year. The secretary was directed to write to the authorities having charge of the mat- ter and request that the contract for the wall be let before the 30th instant. Brend Contract. Tho secretary was directed to communt- cate with the Secretary of War, stating that the bread which is being furnished by a contractor in this city to the soldiers at Camp Alger is unfit for consumption, it being made by machines. In order to com- ply with the demand upon the capacity of the machines, it is necessary, it was seid, to have the dough in a high state of fer- mentation, and this results in the bread turning sour in @ very short time. The secretary was further directed to ask Sec- retary Aiger to give the bread contract as soon as the present contract shall expire to a firm which will furnish an article of bread as good as that furnished customers in the city. A letter was read from a machinist em- ployed at League Island na: yard, stat- ing that there the machinists receive time end a quarter for extra work over eight hours, and at Brooklyn navy yard the seme class of workmen receive time and a half for working ever cight hours per day. It was stated that the Central Labor Union is collecting further-data on this subject which will be embodied in a statement to be forwarded to the Secretary of the Navy. Delegates from Le | Na- tiona! Brotherhoad of Etcctrical Werkers, the Press Feecers’ Union were admit- and obligated. SPIRIT OF _— to Minister Paln Minister T. Estrada Palma of the Cuban republic has received a letter from Gen. J. M. Rodriguez, written at the Cuban headquarte Mat May 5. In the course of the communi on Gen. Rodri- guez says American intervention hastens the inevitable triumph of the revolution. Continuing he says:: “Brandywine 2nd its glories revive in our western plains! All honor to America! As a consequence of that noble act of the American soul there should follow the ag- gressive campaign of the Cugan legions. Let the eagles of the north rest over the captive palms of the Spanish palace! “The unconquered enthusiasm of our forces lead us to expect that in the bloody fights about to ensue there will be shown the love that the Cubans have for the gen- erous ideal of independence. “{ can assure you that nowhere and at no time was the effort and the determina- tion to fight greater than in these western provinces under my command. Col. Ava- las, the worthy successor of the brave and lamented Brigadier General Arangur- en, ag well as all the other commanders and officers under the leadership of Gens. Alejando Rodriguez and Pedro Diaz, have behaved themselvés brilliantly in the re- cent combats at La Carrera, Benito, El Troncon, Guano Prieto, La Zanja, Purgn- torio, ete. Every day we have from two to four skirmishes with the enemy. But as you understand the Spaniards will pub- lish what they like. “At the head of a strong column of in- fantry I am inspecting our strongholds in Pinar del Rio, Habana and Matanzas and this given me opportunity of noting the wonderful spirit, the organization and the daily enlistment of over fifty men to our ranks. “I am getting ready to act simultaneous- ly and I am situating the Cuban forces which are to aid efficiently our allied Amer- ican troops. “Men of good standing socially are flock- ing to our standard. Among this number there are many lawyers end doctors, and not infrequently former Spi nish soldiers. “Wherever we go we are hailed with cries of ‘Viva Cuba Libre! Viva la Patria!’ and it is this war cry which our trumpets repeat at the gates of Spanish cities. “Accept kind regards from all my coun- trymen, especially from Col. Loenaz del Castillo, who is now again with us after a severe illness.” —_>-—_. EXCURSIONS.

Messrs. J. F. Saum & Co., together with other produce dealers on Louisiana avenue between 9th and 10th streets, recently ask- ed the District Commissioners to rescind the tax of $25 imposed upon them as li- censed venders. Commissioner Wight ap- proved the request, but his associates are considering whether the repeal of the order under which they were permitted to use these sidewalks would be beneficial to the Commisisoners. Their occupation of this sidewalk was in violation of law, and any person interested could take them before the Police*Court, and the present system was the outcome of long effort to secure them the privilege of using the sidewalk. The system is working well, and no objec- tion has been made to their occupancy of the same as licensed venders. It is understood to be the belief of the other Commissioners that, before acting in the qgse, it may be well to confer with the commission men and ascertain whether they prefer to be relegated to the old sys- tem, whereby their occupation of the public space will certainly be unlawful. > Appointed Resident Physician.

The Only Thin Needed To Remove Bronchitis, Ca= tarrh, Consumption and Pneumonia g FROM THE LIST OF DANGEROUS DISEASES IS THE EDUCATION OF THE PEOPLE. Ever since the discovery that catarrh, bronchitis, Pneumonia and consumption were purely lacal dis: eases, caused by the presence of bucilli in the alr passages, the medical profession throughout tho whole world have bent all their energies to finding seme method or rmedy by which these bacilii eculd be reached and destroyed. How they have succeeded is best told by a glance at the reports published by the different boards of health in all the larger cities in this country, which show not only a great incresse In the number of deaths yeurly from these diseases, but a startling growth in the number of persons affiicted. This falfure to find a cure for diseases of the respiratory organs must not be construed to mean # Jack of ability on the part of the medical profession, for they baye discevered many remedies whicn would kill these germs. Yet, strange to ray, not one of them could be conveyed to the parts affected by dry alr, Ft can be readily seen, then, that the discovery of “Hyome!,”” a germicide of’ suflictent power to kill at once the bacill of these diseases, and at the same time volatile enough to impregnate every article of air Lreathed by the patient, yet leaving It free from moistrre, was one of vital importance to the medical world. Doctors throughout the whole country began to test the efficacy of this new remedy, and now, after two years’ trial in hurdreds of cases under their own care, over 3,809 physicians claim that “‘Hyomel,” the’ Australian Dry Alr Cure, is the ONLY treatment by which ail the diseased parts of the respiratory organs ean be reached and cured. Furthermore, it is claimed that in famflies who are predisposed to catarrh and consumption, if the fathers and mothers will but fostruct their chil- dren in the use of “‘Hyomel,”” the rising generation will be freed from those dread diseases. It would secm, then, that nothing remains to be done in or- der to remove these diseases from the list of dan- gerous ones, but to teach the people the value of “Hyomet.”” “HYOMEI" CURES BY INHALATION. “Fyomel"” Oatft, $1.00.
