Spectacular Pageant. During the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic Cincinnati will be treated to a great spectacular pa- Keant. It has been decided by those hav- ing the matter in charge that the times and the G. A. R. occasion called for some- thing with a flavor, and hence “Cuba” was agreed upon us the basis for the great pic- ture effects to be produced. The most im- portant details are now completed, and the result is promised to be on a scale of gran- deur never before seen or attempted in that city. The portrayal of incidents and events of j the Spanish-American war and _ scenes | about Havana in panoramic view are | to be faithful and magnificent. The final fireworks will be novel and grand, includ- ing mircgnes, splendidly illuminated, of our fiag, the Goddess of Liberty, bat tle ships of the countries at war, soldiers, marines, conspicuous figures of the tate war, life sized, and other auxiliary designs. ‘The initial scene will be Morro Castle at Havana harbor, stern and forbidding, with the trim cruiser Alfonso XII an- chored in the bar, pretected by the an- cient guns of the mighty fortress. Spanish guards will be s:en on the ramparts of Morro; soldiers and citizens about the dif- ferent gcound points of view. The execu- tion of four Cubans will be seen. Blanco hewn reading and affixing his signature the death warrant. Then a scene that will arouse the blood of the American pat- riots follo’ when Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, in crder to the life of an American pris- oner, thro around his body the colors of America and Gefies the Spanish soldiers to carry out Blanco’s orders to have him shot, thus saving his life. Festal Scenes, Such scenes of festivity as are well known among the nobility of Havana are exhibited in brilitant coloring, and the escape of Evangeline Cisneros is made the subject of fine spectacular work. The sports of Spanish people, including bull fights and sword play, are seen by Gen. Lee and staff, Blanco and other officers in full regimentals. An American flag, which Was resting beside the box of Gen. Lee, is about to be used by the matador to tan- talize the bull, when it is wrenched from his hand by Gen. Lee, who would not see it so d crated. A most enjoyable series of ballet dancing is detailed; carcorellas, dressed as Amer- ican girls, surrounded by four and twe ty senoritas, go through many graceful ¢ lut during which time our ship, the aine, steams to her anchorage, dipping her colors and firing a salute to old Morro. Then twenty-four girls, attired as marines, join the dance, and while th engaged the Spanish torpedo is seen sto’ y nearing the hull of the brave ship. It is seen to come into contact with the bottom of the ship; the fatal button is touched; there is a flame flash, great and awful upheaval of the vessel, mangled huma form: followed by a deathlike calm, and the dark waters close over the once proud American ship and her gallant martyrs.

An alarm of fire was turned in from box 446 about 11 o'clock for a small blaze in the kitchen of the Hotel Wellington, on 15th street between New York avenue and H street. A large pan of grease on the range tipped over in some unaccountable manner, and in almost an instant the room was filled with thick, black smoke, while the entire wall above the stove ap- peared to be a mass of flame. Fortunate- ly, however, the fire did not make any headway, on account of the metal cover- ing of the range, and the grease being smothered, it made no headway beyond the confines of the stove. The fire depart- ment responded promptly, but had little to do outside of making sure there were no sparks in the plastering of the ceiling above the range. The damage will not amount to more than $10, Se Death of Dan. Reynolds. Mr. Dan. Reynolds of Cleveland, Ohio, who was formerly a messenger in the Treasury Department, died at his son's residence at Brightwood yesterday after- rocn, at 4:27 o’clock His remains will be sent to his*home at Cleveland, Chio. ——__—. Declined to Move On. William B. Burns wanted to stop on the Street last night to light a cigarette after Policeman Cornwell had ordered him to “move on,” and his desire to take an excep- tion to the officer's order resulted in his ar- rest. There was a crowd of people on the car tracks on Maryland avenue, waiting to see the soldiers coming in from across the river. ‘The police have had considerable trouble with the people on the street, to avoid acci- dents, and it was for the purpose of pro- tecting their lives that Polic>man Cornwell asked them to leave the tracks. Burns was AMUSEMENTS. COLUMBIA THEATER.—The | season opened with brilliancy and promise at the Columbia Theater last night. Agreeable surprises awaited the visitor from the first glimpse of the newly and tastefully deco- rated entrance hall, where the orchestra was stationed while the audience assem- bled, until the last act of “That Man,” the farce for whose initial production the Co- lumbia had thrown open its doors. The Play is the property of A. M. Palmer, whose own description of it, in an acknowledg- ment made in the author's behalf of the audience's appreciation, was as accurate as it was in good ‘taste. Mr. Palmer indicated that it was offered with a view to-meeting the demand of the American public to be amused and not instructed or required to think; that if it succeeded in cheating the cares of ordinary life for a few hours its intention was fully carried out. The title is rot an especially significant one, It conveys no hint er suggestion of the rollicking mer- Are the four acts of the little ‘8 manager m “Sater pare pare odestly styled it) A scrutiny of the piece awakens a sus- Pecion that it is a poor proverb which won't work both ways. Perhaps the re- quirements of truth might be answered, for all aphoristic purposes, in the phrase, ‘There is nothing old under the sun,” so sprightly and spring-like do old standbys of plot and situation becoms when present- ed by the right people. As the characters urp2ared, one by one, the smile of receg- nition which old acquaintance ciaims went up to each across the footlights.. The coun- try youth, bewildered by the gaycties of town; the Lotharios, old and young; the deshing adventuress, the sedate butler—all huve help2d make life jollier many a time before. And the surreptitious visit to the theater, the French ball, and the head- aches, retributions and reconciliations of the morning after—surely ther> is no nov- elty in these. Yet little touches of. individu- ality here and there keep the flavor fresh and piquant. It is undeniably the sam> old rechauffe, but the cook has put a few new ipgredients into the sauce and the resuit is very appetizing. ‘The role of the country ecusin, who is seized upon by som2 young Women to pique their husbands and who ferthwith adopts the profession of “Jeal- ousy arouser, developed a voluminous fund of humor as performed by Reuben Fax, and will doubtless develop more as me and familiarity suggest further possi- bilities.

Mle Pilar-Morin’s train- ing as a pantomimist assured suitable v vacity and grace to the role of the adven- turess. And Miss Jennie Weathersby's shins—they must not be forgotten. While grace of contour has been becoming so com- mon as to even be available for the back row on the burlesque stage, Miss Weathers- Ly’s peculiar unsymmetricalities haye made the world laugh whenever she chose to don the short gauze skirt and the indifferently fitted fleshlings of the amateur ballet dancer. Doubtless it is all only an optical illusion. But it is one which theatergoers have found very funny for a number of ts. The deceived wives are very charm- ing as impersonated by Miss Edith Athel- ston and Mi: dna Phillips, and the Li tlarios are ren of pl2asant personality, as depieted by Mr. William Bernard and Mr. E. W. Morrison. “That Man” is a very pleasant example of the effective entertainment which can be provided when the art of making a little originality go a long way has been fully mastered. There is no chance of its being desired as a steady companion, but as a passing acquaintance: it is very polished and diverting KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—The entertainment presented by T. E. Miaco’s City Club at Kernan's this week contains many novel features. In lieu of the erst- wlile tiresome burlesque or first part, Mr. Miaco has substituted a musical burlesque entitled, “A Wild Night in Washington.” It is from the pen of Herbert Hall Win- slew of this city, and possesses genuine merit. The dialogue is bright and the music fetching. The song of the “Depart- ment Girls’ is catchy and sends one home humming the air. To call “A Wild Night in Washington” a burlesque is in the ordi- nary acceptation of the term a misnomer. It were better designated a comic opera. The scenery is beautiful, the costuming is a feature. The audience was treated to an- other surprise. In the place of the over- ture, which is often aggravating, Mr. Miaco introduced a number of handsome drop curtains, depicting in oils the famous battles of the present war. The olio was excellently arranged, and many new faces contributed to the merriment. George Graham, a Washington boy, presented a monologue that was very funny. George is a great favorite. Charland and Searles, Lew Palmer, Leslie and Fulton Nestor, Wren and Young and Harry Thompson were all good. “The Divorce Court,” a rol- licking burlesque, closed the show. BIJOU THEATER.—The bill at the Bijou this week is fair. There are several novel- ties, Hope Booth in “Adam and Eve” be- ing the feature. Gertie Gilson is filling an- other week's engagement, and is as popu- lar as ever. The stock company gives a funny comedy, “A Man From Tammany Hall.” Lew Worth sings several ballads and does some clever imitations. Others on the bill are good. — EXCURSIONS. The last Wednesday trips of the steamer Samuel J. Pentz will be made to River View tomorrow, and the last family trips of the son wiil be made on Saturday. Th2se Wednesday trips have always been very popular, particularly with the young people, end a large throng is expected at the View Wedn2sday evening, and all who attend are promised a good time.

Expenses Services of a Clerk Required and a New Wagon Asked for— Other: Items. Mr. ‘W. C. Haskell, isealer of weights and measures, has submitted to the District Commisstoners anvesttmate of the appro- priation required fot his department for the fiscal year ending Jame 30, 1900, as follows: Sealer, $2,500; assistant sealer, $1,200; clerk, $1,000; laborer, $360; one new wagon, $110. Contingent expenses, including livery of horse, tools, seals, etc., are-estimated at $425 for the year, the total of the estimate being $5,595. Mr. Haskell states that the amount asked for clerk hire 1s it accordance with the la- bors and responsibilities attached to the po- sition, and that the importance of such an assistant for ‘this dzpartment has hereto- fore been fully explained to the honorable board of Commissioners. Having met with approval, Mr. Haskell thinks there is no need of further details at this time, except, perhaps, to add that the employment of the clerk has largely inereased the receipts by enabling the sealer and assistant sealer to give more of their time.and attention to the outside business and field work connected with the office, and making it possible for them to cover tha territory of the District and take up the sealing and inspection of measures and scales which should receive attention, and also in accommodating those desiring tc transact any business at the of- fice by having the assistant there at all times during business hours. By this thor- ough covering of the territory it is felt that Justice fs done and all are treated alike. The Sealer’s Comments. “We have found that a large number,” continues Mr. Haskell, “and I might say, in fact, all the wholesale and large retail dealers in milk and-ice cream have not been called upon heretofore, but in justice to the smaller dealers we feel that the hundreds of measures owned by one large firm should receive the same attention as the measures vsed and owned by a dealer who may have but on2 meagure.” A table ts appended which shows that during the year 1896-07 the total receipts of the office were $2,565.08, while in the year 1897-1898 the receipts wer2 $4,309.19. Con- tinuing, Mr. Haskell says: “There i3 no doubt that there was a misunderstanding when the amount of $300 was allowed this department for contin- gent expenses. The keeping of a horse and repairs upon wagon and harness will very nearly exhaust this amount, leaving comparatively nothing for necessary sup- plies n the way of stationery, record books, tocls, lead seals, etc., that are required for this office and which are necessarily quite large. Wagon Very Much Needed. “The wagon asked for is very much need- ed. The one we are now using {s old and very heavy for the one horse allowed us, and is quite expensive to keep in repair. The need of so heavy a wagon is confined to not over tw> months in the year, when we are inspecting and testing heavy wagon scales, at which time we are obliged to carry one or two tons of standard weights in making tests. At all other times we carry only two to five hundred pounds, so that to overload the horse with so cumber- some a wagon as we now have takes too much time in getting over the territory and keeps the horse in an unsatisfactory con- dition. Our investigations satisfy us that we can secure such ‘a wagon as will fully meet our wants for $110. “In conclusion I wish to say that our receipts will fully cover the amount asked for, as is required by the act of Congress, and the allowance of the same will place the department in such a condition as its needs fully require. ———__.——_ Boy Severely Injured. While passing along Fillmore street, in Anacostia, a few’minutes before noon to- @ay, attached to a wagon filled with water- melons, the horse of Samuel Berryman be- came frightened at ‘some paper blowing across the street.. Berryman jumped, his nine-ycar-old son Janies: remaining in the wagon. At the corner of Fillmore and Jackson streets the wagon was overturned and demolished. The boy was thrown out and had his right arm broken, besides being severely cut and bruised about the head and body.

Meeting of the Organization Held > Last Evening. Former President Milford Spohn occupied the chair at the meeting last evening of the Central Labor Union, President Szegedy being unavoidably absent. Mr. J. L. seeny was secretary. Announcement was made that at the last meeting of the committee of the Central Labor Union, which, with a similar committee from the Building Trades Council, has charge of the Labor day ex- cursion, several additional valuable dona- tions were reported, also that an extended Program of amusements has been prepared. _-Under the call of unions, various organi- zations reported the purchase of 1,200 tick- ets since the last meeting. The committee having charge of the defense matter re- Ported that a circular letter has been pre- pared, containing additional information, and it will be circulated throughout the country. A communication which was forwarded to the Bakers and Confectioners’ Union, and by that organization referred to the Cen- tral Labor Union, was read. and, after a statement from a Bakers’ Union delegate, the Central Labor Union decided ~ table the matter. The communication states that objection had been made to a painter, wi.0 Was doing some work for a laundry. Secretary Feeny reported that Mcjor Syl- vester requested the organizations affiliate? with the Central Labor Union to ascertain, if possible, if there are any indigent fam.lies of men ,attached to the:r union who be- long to the Ist District Regiment and _re- port to him. The secretary was directed to inform Major Sylvester that while there is @ large number in the regiment who are members of the various organizations, it was not known that there is any case of want among them.

There was a big row in Hop Sing’s laun- dry, at 12th and T streets, about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, which resulted in the wounding of Moy Jim and the arrest of two young colored men, James Briscoe and Samuel Wilson. When Sergt. McTaggart was summoned to the laundry he found several excited Chinamen and a number of colored men there. Moy Jim, who is the walking delegate and regulator for the Chinese laundry union, was there. He had been struck on the hand and in the stomach with a piece of brick. James Briscoe, it was alleged, had thrown the brick, while Samuel Wilson had indulged in some language not of the best kind. The police say the colored peonle in the neighborhood who dq washing are jealous of their celestial rivals and are trying to ruin the business of the latter. Moy Jim, who says he called at the laundry to see about the position of Hop Sing’s sign, found several colored men lounging about the laundry and he started them out. This, he alieges, caused the trouble, which ended with the arrest of the parties named. James Briscoe forfeited $5 collateral in the Police Court this morning, on a charge of assault, while Judge Taylor took Wil- son’s personal bonds. ——— Helping the Soldiers. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Commending the thoughtfulness and gen- erosity of The Star’s timely movement to help our “boys in blue,” we want to tell you of another “Star” thst is earnestly endeavoring to help the sufferers. It is known as the Order of the Hastern Star of the District of Columbia, and has recently formed an association for that purpos>, known as the Soldiers and Sailors’ Retief Association of the Order of the Hastern Star. The fee is ten cents per month, and more is accepted if offered. W2 hope to increase the membership a hundredfold, and there- fore invite friends who are not members of the O. E. S. to join us. A meeting was h2id on Saturday evening, the 27th instant, in Naval Lodge building, 4th and Pennsylvania avenue southeast, to receive funds and improve our plans for aiding the sick and wounded in our hos- pitals and camps. The sum of $40 was re- ceived and will be forward:d for their assistance through the Red Cross Associa- tion-in our city. We were told by Mrs, North, a member of the Red Cross Asso- ciation (as well as of the O. E. 8.), who has been an earnest work2r in the hospital: that delicacies, such as flowers, fruit, jel lies, blackberry cordial and elderberry wine, are needed and would be highly ap- preciated, and little things such as hand- kerchiefs, towels and socks acceptable. We hope that every member of the O. E. 8. will give his and her “mite,” and that our friends who are not members of th2 order will aid in this good work. Donations will be received by a committee in the rooms of Dr. C. M. Buckey, dentist, in Naval Lodge building, 4th and Pennsyl- vania avenue southeast, on Thursday, S3p- tember 1, and we trust the offering may be @ liberal one. ALICE V. SCOTT, le August 29, 1898.
