The contest between the temperance ad- voeates and the saloon men. regarding the ablishment of a saloon at Tenleytown, ts over, and the latter have won. Some time ago Ernest Loeffier, who kept a place at Tenleytown, was arrested, charged with violating the liquor laws. He was convict- ed In the Police Court, but upon taking the case to the Court of Appeals the decision was reversed. While the case was in court the license year ran out, and the excise board refused to grant a renewal, because of the Police Court conviction. When the case was cleared In the upper court appli- cation was again made for a license. The Anti-Saloon League fought the matter, and the case was decided against Mr. Loeffler. He secured a reopening of the case, how- ever, and fmally secured the necessary license to transact business. The Anti-Saloon League made a hard fight, and claimed to have the signatures of a sufficient number cf people to prevent the granting of the license, but-they wera unable to convince the beard of the justice their contention. The new license was ued a few days ago. Facts Concerning Soldier's Death. The burial of Louis Wagner, the son of Mr. H. August Wagner of 5221 M street, at Arlington yesterday recalls to mind the circumstances of his death, which have never before been published. The young man was a native of Georgetown and en- listed the latter part of 1898 in Company F of the 15th United States Volunteer In- fantry. He was sent to Porto Rico and died there June 17 of last year .rom car- bolic acid poisoning. It ts stated the quar- ters where the soldiers were stationed had been quarantined, and young Wagner en- tered the barracks and took what he sup- posed was a drink of water, but which Proved to be a mixture of carbolic acid, and he died soon after. His father and rela- tives were notified of the death at the time, but. were not informed of the burial yester- day at Arlington, and only learned of the matter through friends. Fanerals Yesterday. The funeral of Mrs. Amelia Rosenbusch, an account of whose death was published a few days ago in The Star, was held yes- terday afternoon from her late residence on P street near 34th street.

Mrs. Heloise O'Neil, residing at the inter- ion of the Conduit and Foxhall roads, eral days ago invited the attention of the Distriet Commissioners to the fact that at a recent fire in the neighborhood the fire department found no facilities for ob- taining water with which to extinguish it. The matter was referred to the fire depart- ment, from which a recommendation was made to the Commissioners that two fire hydrants be erected tn the vicinity, one near the intersection of the Conduit and Foxhall roads, and the other on the Con- duit road, about 1,000 feet distant. The Commissioners have asked permission from the chief of engineers of the army for {ap- ping the twelve-inch main, and when the permit is granted will erect the two hy- drants. -— Sale of Furniture, Including Lot of storage goods, at Sloan's, 1407 @ street, tomorrow at 10 a.m.—Advt.

The members of Columbia Lodge, No. 10, I. O. O. F., entertained last evening at Odd Fellows’ Hall the officers of the Grand Lodge of the order of the District of Co- lumbia. The occasion was the annual visi- tation of the supreme body, and it was celebrated with ah appropriate and excep- tonally interesting program prepared by Columbia Lodge. During the evening re- freshments were served. Holding the visi- tation and attending the reception in the auditorium of the 7th street hall was an innovation, the ceremonies of like charac- ter having been held heretofore in the lodge rooms. The members, with their families and friends, occupied nearly every available foot of the large floor space. The presiding officer was Mr. Thomas W. Fowler, past grand master. The officers of the Grand Lodge were presented formally and took seats upon the flower-bedecked stage. Mr. Fowler made the address of welcome, the response being a brief but pointed speech by Mr. John B. Ward, grand master, The following program was then carried out, each number being individually clever | and the whole most pleasing: Selection by orchestra, Prof. H. W. Weber; piano duet, Misses Baden and “Lohmar; acrobatic dance, La Petite Alma; Ladies’ Amphion Mandolin Club; vocal solo, Mrs. Ethel Smart; buck and wing dancing, Master Wil- lie Collier; illustrated song, Mr. R. Byron Bond; violin solo, Mr. Max Schiller; vocal solo, Mr. Ross Wise; recitation, Miss Richie McLean; song and dance, Elsie Sheetzs; vocal solo, Mr. R, L. Cox; character song, Louise Bowman; Indian club exercises, Miss Richie McLean. The history of Columbia Lodge dates back to July 15, 1840. A statement pre- pared by the chairman of committee shows that since the lodge was organized it has paid for relief of its mnembers $37,546.31; relief of widows, $16,618.38; for burying the dead, $7,941.86; for educating orphans, $8,742.42, making total relief $70,848.47. The lodge has at this time funds on hand and invested amounting to $24,880.45. The officers for the present term are as follows: H. M. Vermillion, nob’e grand; William Lohmar, vice grand; H. V. Bisbee, recording secretary; EB. C. Grumley, finan- celal secretary; Thomas W. Fowler, treas- urer; H. L. Shackelford, 8. P. G.; George Z. Colison, R. S. N. G.; Andrew Turnbull, L. 8. N. G.; F. W. Hearl, R. 3. V. G.; W. S. Greer, L. 8. V. G.; R. Byron Bond, con- ductor; H J. Redfie’d, warden; Albert 8S. Burley, R. S. S.; Charles H. Hastings, L- S. S.; Arthur J. Krause, inside guardian; George M. Moore, outside guardian; J. E. Fowler, degree master; C. W. Fowler, or- ganist; D. W. Keck, chaplain. —_+— AMUSEMENTS. THE STORM.—“The Storm’ was pro- duced at the New National Theater yester- day afternoon, and the steady augmenta- tion of the number of auditors was again noticeable. The collection of silent palms in the orchestra gave place to musicians and the occasion seemed on the whole to have more theatric formality than usual, despite the fact that there were points in the performance which obviously indicated deficient rehearsal. The play encounters formidable obstacles in impressing an American audience. The rigid domestic dis- cipline which holds in continental Eu- ropean countries is unknown here. The shrewish mother-in-law {s a familiar topic, but she figures in a rather humble sphere as a subject for the perfunctory satirist, and not as the inspiration of tragedy. In Anglo-Saxon life the iron-jawed matron who wrecks the lives of her son and his wife would have been told to hie her to the comic papers, while the young people went out to swing in the hammock. The mother- in-law was well played by Kate Hassett. Indeed, the cast averaged very well, with the exception of Donald Robertson, who met with that cruelest of reminders, the laugh in the wrong place. The play again presented Miss Florence Kahn very favor- ably. Her acting opportunities were nu- merous, and her realization of the charac- 's moods possessed both intelligence and ation. Although she is a woman of striking appearance, her appeal is more to the heart than to the understanding. She seems to feel so intensely herself that the auditor follows her of his own accord, and in the strese ofemotion forgets to note an occasional faltering of technique. The play has a great deal of human interest and is in key with the program of this organiza- tion, whose promoters seem so wrapt up in their artistic purpose that they neglect to give it a concrete appellation by which it may be celebrated. The dramas have so far been restricted to the school which brings its characters into situations which might occur in any mortal experience, and then makes them work out the cold logical consequences. In some cases the moral most strongly suggested is the old aphorism which asserts that your absolutely consis- tent man is a fool. A modern play makes a fine intellectual relish, if taken sparing- ly; say in just about the quantity In which the present enterprise offers it. Too much would cause a tendency to the morbid. One of the prominent figures in the cast was Ethel Chase Sprague, whose work was no- tably good. The interest shown yesterday would indicate that the course of modern plays may, so far as Washington is con- cerned, be accepted as an appreciated as well as a very desirable institution, ——— CAPT. SAMUEL FORD DEAD. Was an Officer in Maryland Regiment During Civil War. Capt. Samuel Ford died at his home, 814 2d street southeast, Monday night last, in the sixty-eighth year of his age. He was born September 12, 1832. in Cecil county, Maryland, and came to this city thirty-five years ago. He was in young manhood a member of the Maryland legislature, and foremost in having a bill passed in that body for the improvement of the school system In Cecil county. During the entire civil war he commanded Company A of the 5th Maryland Volun- teers. and did honorable service at Berlin, Petersburg and Antietam, 87 per cent of his company being lost at the latter place in the conflict at the sunken road. Mr. Lin- colin was his personal friend. At the close- of the war he engaged In the brick bu: ness. and co-operated In supplying brick for the Capitol, Government Hospital for the Insane. Columbia Hospital,, bureau of en- graving and printing and other buildiugs in the city, public and private. For over twenty years Capt. Ford was a member of the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, and when able he reg- ularly attended the services. During the past twelve years he had been one of the church steward: Se A BRUTAL CRIME. William Wooden Places a Child on a Hot Stove. William Wooden, aged twenty-four years, was today sent to jail for eleven months and twenty-nine days by Judge Kimball in the Police Court for assaulting Alphonzo Lewis, aged three years, whose parents live at No. 116 Pierce street. He acknowledged his guilt. The evidence disclosed went to Mrs. Lewis’ house and began playing with the child. The mother ob- jected, while she was not looking Wooden picked: up the boy and seated him on a hot stove. The screams of the ehild attracted the attention of the mother, and she at once rescued It. Judge Kimball examined the child and sald the burn was the worst he had ever seen, and that he would give the prisoner the extreme penalty of the law. — Regulating Sale of Liquor. © The draft of a bill to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors in the District of Co- lumbia has been transmitted by the Com- missioners to the chairmen of the two Dis- trict committees In Cangress, with the recommendation that It be enacted. The proposed measure is one which the Commissioners prepared with a, great deal of care a year ago and submitted to Con- gress. It has been reviewed by them again and by the excise board, the only change made being to strike out the words “includ- ing also the owners or residents on. the cor- ner diagonally opposite such bar rooms,’ which appear in section 5. The bill has been heretofore published in The Star. that Wooden ee Without Compensation. * Dr. M. J.

Bellef That Results Will Cause It to Be Increased. An interesting featufe in ocnnection with poifce work in most of the large cities is the mounting of officers on bicycles. The members of the bicycle squads of most of the cities are doing effective-work, as is shown in the annual reports of the police chiefs. Several years ago the local police depart- ment started the experiment with a few wheels. At that time the bicycles belonged to the Individual members. The value of the wheel in the work of the department having been demonstrated the squad was increased from time to time, and it was finally decided to purchase a number of bicycles. There are now about forty men in the bicycle squad, and it is believed by some policemen that the present number will be doubled in a few years. In Major Sylvester's last report he said the bicycle had proved a valuable acquisi- tion in expediting business of the depart- ment. By way of explanation the report says: = In each of the nine precincts a single bicycle policeman now patrols from 8 o'clock a.m. until 1 o’clock p.m., when he and his wheel are relieved by a second man, who does duty until 6 o'clock p.m., when two wheelmen scour each precinct until midnight, to ba relieved by two mem- bers of the midnight platoon, who do bicy- cle policing until morning. It was only recently that an appropria~ tion was available whereby every man thus employed could have his own wheel to ride. As a result the wheels are not ridden constantly and receive better at- tention, the rider derives much more com- fort and satisfaction in making his tours, and the expense for repairs is greatly re- duced, Under a regulation promulgated recently the bicycle member is’ required to do foot service while his wheel is laid up for re- pairs. This force it will be my aim to double, results fully warranting such a course. At each station house a bicycle is kept in re- serve in order that no delay may ensue when a “hurry” call is made for the police. The privates thus mounted have rendered @ most creditable accounting in every way, and have sustained a good name for the detail, in that none of their number has had to answer for disrespect or dereliction of duty during the year. That some idea may be had of the enforcement of the fast and reckless driving and bicycle regulations by this auxiliary attention is respectfully invited to the amount of fines imposed through its effort. The fines imposed amounted to $13,436. Major Sylvester has had a record kept of the work of each bicycle officer, and he ts very much gratified at the work accom- plished by them. In addition to the members of the bicycle squad most of the detectives are wheelmen. S —_.+—__. DEATH OF DR. TAYLORe,, Aged Seventy-Four and Long a Resi- dent of Washington. Dr. Andrew H. Taylor, the dental sur- geon, who had been ill for some time, died Wednesday at his home, 54 C street south- east.
