Was received with } Respectively, in the Treatment of Haman Ils. Judging from the attendance of the mem- bers of the Washington Homeopathic Medi- cal Society of the District of Columbia at the annual meeting, which was begun last evening in the banquet room of the Shore- ham Hotel, and the interest displayed in the discussidns, the new plan of conducting the annual meeting was a success. No business was brought to the attention of the society, but the entire session was de- voted to the reading of papers and discus- sions. Another session was held this af- ternoon beginning at 2 o'clock, and this evening the closing session will be held. The president of the society, Dr. F. A. Gardner, presided last evening, and the secretary, Dr. C. A. Davis, also occupied a seat on the platform. At a table near the platform was seated the treasurer, Dr. Wm. R. King. In addition to the members of the so- ciety, representatives of the profession from Baltimore, Atlantic City and Alexandria were present, and in some instances took part In the discussions. The papers read at the session last even- ing were classified as being in the sections of surgery, gynecology and electricity and of practice The First Paper. Dr. T. L. Macdonald, the chairman of the section of surgery, read the first paper, which was entitled “Peritoneal Infection; Peritonitis and Some of the Causitive Le- sions.” He spoke of the different forms of peritonitis, the symptoms and some meth- ods of treatment.

Dr. H. N. Stokes presided and W. H. Krug acted as secretary. A paper entitled “The Estimation of Nicotine’ was read. It dealt with the various analyses of substances containing nicotine in conjunction with dit- fere! hemicals. The paper was prepared by B. A. de Schweinitz, J. A. Emory and F. K. Cameron and was read by the latter, E. A. De Schweinitz read a report on his experiments with curative serums for hog cholera. The investigations were under- taken at experimental stations in Iowa, where tests were made on rabbits, guinea pigs and hogs, very satisfactory’ results having been attained. It was agreed to drop the former pro- vision of the constitution entitling past presidents to seate on the executive com- mittee. Sere Master Plambers Choose Officers. At the regular meeting the Sth instant of the Master Plumber’ Association of Washington the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Robert B. Caverly, president; F. B. Kennedy, first vice president; Charles Brill, second vice president; Willlam Koch, secretary; Dantel Hannan, treasurer; Charles E. Barrick, sergeant-at-arme. ee Thousands of situations have been ob- fained through the want columns of The tar, transaction, last April, Mr. gave me a full account of ft, and in my opinion, both then and now, he is innocent of any crime. At the trial yesterday (which was called at the earliest possible date at Mr. Danenhower’s request as soon as he learned that the law was invoked) the prosecution formally abandoned the charge of ‘false pretenses’ and rested their case on the second count of “larceny,” which we expect to finish tomorrow. I fail to discov- er in the case the slightest element of lar- ceny, and I am fully convinced that the whole affair is a prosecution of an innocent man.

The case will be concluded on Saturday. Respectfully, FRANK T. BROWNING, Attorney for Washington Danenhower. December 9, 1898. —_— BREWERY DEAL DENIED. Report Current in Business Circles Concerning the Consumers’ Plant. Emphatic denial that a controlling inter- est In the Consumers’ Brewing Company has been sold, according to a report in busi- ness circles yesterday, to Katz Bros. of Jer- sey City, representing an English syndi- cate, is made by President FE. L. Jordan of the local concern. He say: “I can emphatically state that the Con- sumers’ company has not sold out to a Jersey City party representing an English syndicate, and I will say further that the former stockholder who {s reported to have said that a controlling i pany has been sold to K sey City does not know wh about, and handles facts in a most reckless manner. Such a statement, printed upon the authority of an ex-stockholder, is un- warranted. It is not only unfair to us, but it is also unjust in that It brings in the names of prominent persons who have had no dealings with t nd who are unknown to the di: y reputa- tion. Another miss Iso that a large block of the stock is held by George- town men. Mr. Jordan did not deny that overtures had been made for the sale of some of the stock of the iz Bros. of Jer- t he ts talking NEW NATIONAL THEATER.—Mme. Modjeska was seen last night at the National ijn her impersonation of Dumas’ wonderful creation, Camille, The star has played the part ever since the beginning of her career #8 an actress, and it y be said that now her portrayal is as nearly perfect as could be desired. Ideas as to the proper Camille differ widely, and there are no two real artistes on the stage today who have the same conception of the part. Along with Bernhardt, Clara Morris, Neth- ersole and Duse, Modj ‘s interpretation of this woman of the world has become @ of the standards by which the 1 lights of the drama are judged. Ser por- trayal may be criticised by the particular supporters of the others’ styles of art, but Modjeska has as many or more friends than the oth The large audience wit- nessing her last night’s production was en- thusiastically apprectiative. Modjeska real- izes the fact that Camille is a woman first of all, and she perhaps reaches the real character of the heroine better than most who have essayed the role. Mme, Modjes- ka was in excellent spirit last night, and entered into” her part with interest and enthusiasm. Lester Lonergan took the part of Armand, acting it in a very satisfactory manner, while Chas. D. Herman gave a finished tone to his impersonation of Count de Varville. Others having important parts production were Misses Daly, Morrell and Fisher arid Mrs. Sargent, and Messrs. George Spencer, John H. Lane and Wm. H. Hawley. Tonight, “As You Like It.” FAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. The best audience of the week, and yet it was not commensurate with the deserts of the performance, assembled in the La- fayette Square Opera House last night to hear the Royal Italian Opera Company in a double bill, consisting of Leoncavallo's “L Pagliacct”” and Mascagni’s “Cavalleria Rustleana.” The latter was sung with the same cast as Monday night, but the chorus did better work than on that occasion. The principals, particularly the Santuzza and Turlddu, were fully as intense and artistic, and gave great satisfaction in their work. In “I Pagliaccl” the prologue was effect- ively sung by Sig. Ganor, but the star of the performance was Sig. Collenz, whose Impersonation of Canio was in some re- spects the most forceful and dramatic ever seen here. So enthusiastic was the ap- plause that the singer was obliged to re- peat the famous song in Its entirety, the audience not being satisfied with his ap- pearing twice and bowing his acknowledg- ments. He secured a veritable triumph. Others in the cast were Signorina Eland as Nedda and Signor Cantori as Silvio. ‘To- night “Ii ‘Trovatore” will be sung. pei es HANDSOME PR ENTS. bedd & Brows Establishment rowded With Pretty Things. Everybody has known for years that pri- marily the business of 8. S$.

This display consists of articles peculiarly appropriate for Christ- mas presents, which will last for years and be both useful and ornamental. Nothing is more acceptable than banquet and table lamps, with globes and shades, the whole of the latest and most fashionable variety. The art glass shades and lamps are the test. The assortment carried by the firm said to be the finest and largest in Wash- ington. 1t is certainly one which will at- tract the attention of any man or woman in the world.

The result is that comments con- cerning its suitability are to be heard on every hand. A well-known local architect expressed himself on the subject as follows to a Star reporter recently: “The people of .his country who furnish the money for the construction of public buildings naturally expect, and have a right to demand, that these structures shall be so designed and completed as to afford ample and modern facilities for the trans- action of business. But Washingtonians have been sorely disappointed in the new city post office, now in part occupied. In common with other citizens of the na- tion’s capital, I have been pained and dis- gusted with this monstrosity as viewed from an architectural standpoint. But I had sincerely hoped that the interior a: rangements and finish might be so nearly perfect that the blemish of the exterior would be forgotten for the time being. My dream of what miznt be—and what ought to be, considering the unnecessarily long time consumed and the large amount of money expended—was rudely shattered upon my Visit through the first story of the bund- ing this week. The heavy doors on the avenue front, always closed, give the es- tablishment an air of exclusiveness and cause a feeling that common mortals are not wanted within. “Upen entering this main corridor, the eye catches much in the way of material that is very beautiful, but the incongruous mixture there presented of styles and col- ors is positively painful. The arrangement of the marbles is suggestive of a crazy quilt. Finishing the columns and pilasters on either side of the corridors in plaster down to the base, while on the one hand the dark and elaborate woodwork of the post office screen reaches the ceiling, and on the other the marble wainscoting is seven feet or more in he gives the whole & cheap appeamance, and reminds one of some styles in vogue fifts that may yet be i quated village « that period. “If further proof w vince intelligent {ng archite: essary to c the supervis- a generation behind the times, thai proof is furnished by the clumsy, out-of- polder in the tile floors of all the corridors he prin- cipal entrances on the north s sides of the building. The remarks of per- sons who stumble over these unsightly ob- structions are anything but complimentary to the individual who responsible for such a back number, when there are so many sultable devices for the purpose in- tended which would overcome this objec- tion. he charge of incompetency. so often registered against the supery sing architect's office, finds added proof in the tact that this building, with a ground are: varly one acre and a half, is absolutely without puo- lic waiting or toilet rooms for ladies or gentlemen, who visit the ci t office by hundreds each day for the transaction of business, This unpardonable omission mer- its the indignation that has been justly and that is finding quiet but most emphatic expression. While it is true that there is one small i in the bureau of information, where a tal ecard may be written by one person at a time, this is only an aggravaiing make- shift for the ample facilitles that should have been provided fer the patrons of the office who desire to write letters before leaving the buildmg. The fact will be re- called by those who have had occaston to transact bust in the government build- ings erected ral years «zo in some other cities of the Unfon that modern conven- jences were provided, but this fack m: the sad but sure degeneracy in the m: ment of this import of the ury Department nes plans fo public buildin, has charge of their construction and expenditure of mil- Nons of dollars of government money.

Interesting Experiments With Fluid at Columbian University Hall. Prof. E. A. de Schweinitz of the chair of chemistry of Columbian Medtcal College en- tertained a large number of people at Co- lumbian University Hall yesterday after- noon in experiments with iquid air. It was through the courtesy of Inventor Trip- pler that the experiment was made possi- ble. He presented. Columbian University with two gallons of the magic fluid, and a special messenger was sent to New York to get it. When it arrived it was securely confined in a big block tin can, which in turn was secured inside another can. This was necessary because of the rapid evapo- ration of the fluid. When it was operfed it was found that one-third of the air had es- ped. ‘This was considered a small per- centage. After Prof, de Schweinitz had given an outline history of liquid air he began the experiments. With a big soup ladle the professor brought out a portion of the fluid, which was frothing and boiling. Its tem- perature was 101 degrees centigrade below zero, a degree of cold so intense that it burned. A little of the fluid was the floor and immediately it passed off In a cloud of smoke. The experimenter car lessly spilled a little of the fluid on his hand and his vigorous rubbing attested the pain which followed. He said if his hand had been moist, so as to hold the particle: he would have been severely burned. Du ing the lecture mercury, which only treezes at a temperature of 40 degrees below zero, and alcohol, which does not freeze until the thermometer registers 130 degrees be- low zero, were given a bath in the liquid piled on air and taken out solid cakes of i A rub- ber ball was subjected to the influence of the liquid and was almost immediately frozen hard. — You still have time to have your Foto- grafs for Xmas.

Go W. DAZZLING DISPLAY. Christmas Presents in Abundance at R. Harris & Co. Christmas shopping has commenced with @ rush and the indications are that the holiday business this year will be of greater volume than for many seasons past. The attractive displays in the jewelry stores are irresistible magnets, and thither the great throngs of shoppers are wending their way. In no other establishments can there be found a greater variety of timely gifts. Not @n article in a modern, properly-con- ducted and richly-stocked jewelry emport- um but would make a handsome and most acceptable gift to sweetheart, friend, moth- er, father or any other member of the fam- ily, The Christmas showings for 1898 are more elaborate than in the past few years, keeping pace with the return of prosperity to the nation. Of the many handsome es- tablishments {n Washington none is more popular with all classes of buyers than R. Harris & Co.'s beautiful store at the cor- ner of 7th and D streets. Here will be found probably the largest and one of the most carefully-selected stocks in the vicini- ty of the capital city. The store presented a lively scene of holiday activity when vis- ited by a reporter for The Star this morn- ing. Crowds of shoppers were admiring and inspecting the showcases filled with diamonds and the precious metals, wrought by skilled hands into ornaments of great attractiveness and charming beauty and magnificence. In the Harris store one may purchase any article known to the jewel trade, while opera glasses, fine umbrellas, clocks and the many pretty things making up a supply of gold and silverware beyond equal are there in plenty. Fine cut glass is a feature of the establishment. It is in the matter of diamond importa- tion, the cutting and setting of the beauti- ful gems that Harris & Co. especially excel. A visit to their diamond-working rooms is one of the sights of Washington. The splendor is greater and wealth more appar- ent than in a visit to the great mines at Kimberly, for there the stones are in the rough and their value is appreciated only by experts, while in the Harris polishing and setting room the finished product is seen in all {ts rare brilllance. The Harris diamond jewelry is manufactured by the company here in the city, and is cons quently of original and elegant design. The display of diamonds in the store proper is magnificent.
