His Brother Testified Against Him— Pensioner Fined for Diserderly Conduct—Other Cases. “I'm guilty of drinking,” was the plea of Joseph S. Day, a resident of Anacostia, who was arraigned before Judge Scott this morning on a charge of habitual drunken- ness. His wife, who was carrying a baby in her arms, was in court to give testi- mony, but under the law her statement could not be received. “This man is my brother,” John A. Day told the court. “He goes about the street drinking, and for eight weeks I have had to take care of his family started drinking a week ago yester- the defendant. Why did you make such a bad start?” Judge Scott asked him. = “I was troubled about getting work, his answer. “but now I've got a job.” do what? “Drive a meat wagon."” Judge Scott told him he would impose a enalty of but $5 or fifteen days. Two weeks away from temptation, the judge told him, might do him good. James Brady, a pensioner, was in the dock for alleged bad conduct at the board- ing house of a colored man named William Thom: “The trouble is that I paid my rent in advance,” said the o’d man. “Never mind about the rent,” the judge said. “I want to hear about the threats and disorderly conduct.” ‘The boarding house keeper charged that Brady had threatened to kill him with a hatchet, and said he did not want him to return to his house. Brady told of his numerous troubles and said upon his return to the city he went to the boarding house. “Thomas keeps a good house," he said, “and I like to go there because there are no sects in his beds.”* “What about the hatchet?” the pensioner asked. going to take that over on the flats with me to cut a cane,” was his re- sponse. ‘The penalty was $10 or thirty days for disorderly conduct, and the charge of mak- ing threats was dismissed. Trouble in Marble Alley. Edward Walker, a neatly dressed colored man, Was arraigned on charges of disorder- iy conduct and assault. The trouble hap- pened in Marble alley last night. “Profanity was used, stores were thrown, and I was told that Walker drew a knife,” said Policeman Bateman.

To the Faltor of The Evening Star: I note the suggestions of a New York architect as to regulating the helght of buildings on Pennsylvania, and as showing how the ideas on that subject have changed with the lapse of time and the difference in the construction of buildings, I cite section 3 of the original building regulations pre- pared by the Commisstoners for the District and promulgated by President Washington, October 17, 1791: “2. "The wall of no house to be higher than forty feet to the roof, in any part of the city; nor shall any be lower than thir- she pr The thirty day ty-five feet on any of the avenues.” Had that regulation continued in existence no such bullding as that of The Star could ever have graced the avenue, nor many of the finest buildings In other parts of the city. It is evident that Washington and the ommissioners intended to prevent the erec- tion of such buildings as many of those which now disfigure the grand Pennsylvanta avenue, and in that respect it is a pity that the regulation had not been tmproved and continued. So, too, if the regulation as to the thickness of the walls of buildings had been retained, there would have been many less flimsy buildings in the city. WwW. Cc. —E—EE An Easter Hint About Batter.

McKesson of North Caro- Iina delivered a lecture on “The Poets of the Bible’ before the members of Unity Club Wednesday evening last, in the sun parlors of the Stratford Hotel, 14th street and Sheridan avenue northwest. It was the regular semi-monthly meeting of the club, and there was a very large attendance. The president, Dr. William A. Jack, occu- pled the chair, and called the meeting to order shortly after 8 o'clock. ‘The program opened with an overture on the piano by Mr. Harry R. W. Miles, the blind pianist, who played a selection from “Rigoletto.” Miss Mabel H. Swingle then sang, as a soprano solo, ‘“The Dragon Fly” (F, Brozza Peccia). The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved, after which Mr. Henry P. Holden, chair- man of the finance committee, made a re- port on the auditing of the treasurer's books. In a brief speech the president presented to the audience Mr. McKesson, the lecturer of the evening. The lecture opened with a comparison of the works of the ancient He- brew poets, from the days of Moses, with those of the middle ages and later days. It reviewed from a poetic standpoint the works of Moses, Joshua, Nehemiah, Job, David, Solomon, Isaiah and Jeremiah, and made comparison of these with the writings of Homer, Virgil, Dante, Chaucer Spencer, Wordsworth, Cowper, Milton, Byron and other poets of more modern times. Mr. McKesson kept the close at- tention of the audience during the delivery of his lecture. The lecture was favorably commented upon by President Jack, Mr. S. H. Agnew and Mr. Henry P. Holden, after which there was an interval for social in- tercourse. The second part of the program opened with a soprano solo by Miss L. Roberts, who sang the arla, “Robert, tol que jaime,’ from ‘‘Robert le Diable’ (Meyerbeer). Mr. H. P. Holden read a humorous parody on “Edison, and One of His Recent Discoveries.” This was followed by a solo, “Calvar: (Paul Rodney), by Mrs. W. A. Jack. Oscar Wilde's “Spring Song,” a soprano solo, by Miss Roberts, concluded the program. Prof. Chas. Huebner acted as accompanist. President Jack announced that the next meeting of the executive committee would be held at the residence of Mrs. Fillmore Harrison, 411 Massachusetts avenue north- west, and the club adjourned. eg ea SULZER’S PROPHECY. MR. Says Bryan Will Be Renominated and Elected. Representative Sulzer of New York ad- dressed a meeting of the Virginia Demo- cratic Association of Washington held last evening in the Harper building on C street. President R. N. Harper was in the chair. Mr. Sulzer reaffirmed his allegiance to every line and every word of the Chicago platform, and sald at the coming democratic convention at Kansas City planks will be added against militarism, imperialism and trusts. Nothing will be taken away from the platform, he declared, but the adminis- tration will be denounced for its attitude in the British-Boer war, its conduct of the mining troubles in Idaho, its treatment of Porto Rico, and for the war in the Philip- pines. Upon this platform, Mr. Sulzer said, William Jennings Bryan would be nomi ed and triumphantly elected. With Bryan’: election, he asserted, good government will begin in 1900, as it did with Jefferson in 1500. When Mr. Sulzer had concluded a motion was de that a resolution of sympath. for the Boers be passed. No action was taken, however, as the move was discour- aged by those who said the association had nothing to do with such matters. —__._— GUEST OF HIS FRIENDS. Banguet Last Night to Mr. W.

In all the churches of these two denomi- nations the morning serviees were well at- tended, and at night in the Catholic churches the tenebrae, will be chanted and appropriate sermons will be preached.

Pickpockets displayed an unusual amount of activity yesterday afternoon in stores and on the street, and four robberies were reported to the police. Mrs. M. W. Wehr- kamp, who lives near Fort Myer, was the heaviest loser. She was robbed of $108 In cash and three commutation railway tick- ets while shopping in a 7th street store. Her pecket book was taken from a hand satchel which she carried on her arm. The thief evidently had no trouble in opening the satchel and taking out the pocket book while Mrs. Wehrkamp was making a purchase. As soon as she discovered her loss she hur- ried to police headquarters and notified the detectives. Mrs. Lucy Miller of 2024 Columbia road was also robbed while in a 7th street store. The thief got away with her pocket book, which contained $20.75 and two car tickets. When she started to examine some goods Mrs. Miller put ber pocket book on the counter and covered it with her handker- chief. The handkerchief was not dis- turbed. Miss Baker, living at 1936 15th street, lost a@ green pocket book, with the initial “B.” on it, and $4 in money. She was robbed while in a store. Mrs. J. M. Mohun, living at 2119 Calffor- nia avenue northwest, reported that her pocket book, containing money and a rail- road ticket to New York, had been stolen. She could not state where the robbery took place. In the pocket book was also a letter written by her son, who was a soldier in the Philippines, the day before he was killed. She naturally prized this highly, and hopes {t may be returned to her, The police believe that at least two of the thefts reported were committed by a wo- man. Se The fire department was summoned to Walter & Watson's dairy, No. 2206 L street northwest, early last night for a slight blaze, caused by the boiling of tar in a small kettle. No damage was done.
