The Bazaar to be Opened Monday Even
ing by Commissioner Webb.
On Monday night from the front of
the long-deserted E-Street Roller Rink
Two big locomotive headlights will
the quiet street. This will be the signal
for the assembling of the Knights of
Pythias and their friends TO the fair that
is to begin that night and last two
weeks.
Inside the sombre-looking building will
be bewildering whirl of dancing, lights,
music and pretty girl friends of the gal
liant knights.
You will enter the hall, which you
perhaps remember as having an erstwhile
bare, barn-like appearance, all changed
now into tairyland, and the first thing
you will notice, always provided YOU are
not Immediately captured by one of the
fair attendant nymphs, will be the soda
fountain in the centre of the front end of
the hall. Beyond this, in the exact centre
of the immense building, will be the
large flower stand, with Its bevy of human
buds and blossoms, fairer than their
wares. Still farther back, in line with
lemonade made with half lemon and
sweetened with the attendants smiles. In
the northeast corner of the building will
be the kitchen and dining-room and
across the north end will be ranged the
various articles to be voted for; adjoining
will be the ice-cream tables.
On the west side of the hall will be a
forty-foot rifle range, where the Nimrods,
good, bad and Indifferent, can try their
skill-or lack of it. Then there will be
an especially fine art stand, q gypsy
stand, where the pretty imitation nomads
will hold your hand and make eyes at
you while they tell your fortune, past and
future, always emitting of course to
mention your impending bankruptcy,
and postoffice that for fun could give
Mr.. Dickinson points.
At 10 o'clock the music of the orchestra
will change to dance music, and the dainty
hutter of fsatin.slippered feet will furnish
another attraction until midnight.
A few minutes after O'Clock Commits
sioner Webb will open the fair with
speech, and the Grand Chancellor of the
order will also be present.

A New Enterprise.

A party of gentlemen becoming inter
ested in the new cotton-seed cleaner have
determined to start small oil mill in
Washington. They have purchased two
of the Crawford Cotton-Seed Cleaners, and
will commence work Immediately. The
mill will be ready for operationin about 60
days. They expect to get the cotton-seed
from the Carolinas, delivered in Wash
ington at q cost of from $40 to $40 per ton.
The mill will have a capacity of about We
tons per day. From each ton of seed they
expect to get about $l3 worth of oil,
$14 worth of oil cake and 81 worth of
sheet cotton. The operating expenses of
the mill will be about 81 per ton. There
seems TO be no reason why their expecta-
tions will not be realized, as this is under
stood to be the product of ton of seed
under the English system, which they
propose to use. The Crawford machine
enables them to use this system.

EDITOR nupsoN,s CASE.
Judge Smell suspends Judgment for q
Week.


Judge Smell Suspends Judgment for
Week.
This morning in the Police Court Ed
mund Hudson, editor of the Sunday Can't
tai, was charged with criminal libel in
publishing an article in last Sundays
Capital headed "a Military Mix-Up,"
which reflected on Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. M.
Locfiler.
Allison Nailor was called, and testified
that he knew LoeiTler, who was Sergeant-
Major of the Washington Light Infantry
Corps. Major Loefiler had recently ten
dered his resignation, but IL had not been
accepted.
Witness did not know what led to the
resignation. He had never heard Loeffler's
domestic relations discussed.
Mr. Shepherd then offered the article as
evidence Major q. q. NJ. Loelller said he
had never struck his wife in his life; there
had never been any occasion for 1t. The
whole article he branded as a most ma
hgnant lie He had rendered his resigna-
ton as Sergeant-Major of the Washington
Light Infantry Corps but it was not in
duced by any domestic troubles. He
further said that he understood his resig-
nation was unanimously laid on the
table.
When cross-examined by Mr.. Miller for
the defense, he said he had heard last
December that his domestic affairs were
discussed in the corps, but they were
never discussed before him and had abso-
lutely no influence with him in regard to
his resignation.
Mr.. Miller, attorney for Mr.. Hudson,
said he had intended TO enter the plea,
lack of jurisdiction, Because he did not
think this court had power to try the
case, and that he wanted TO give the de-
iendant more time in which to investigate
the facts.
Judge Smell said inasmuch as the de-
cision of the Supreme Court had not yet
been rendered, he would suspend judg-
ment for one week, but, at the same time,
be against the defendant and he would
probably impose fine Of 500.

A LARGE ICE FACTORY.
The Enterprise Proposed for South
Washington.


Washington.
Mr.. II. Goldsohmid of this city called on
Captain Symons of the Water Department
yesterday afternoon and inquired If the
District could furnish large ice manu-
featuring plant with water. He stated
that il is proposed to erect the plant in
South Washington, somewhere near
Eleventh and Water streets. IL will be
supplied with machinery of sufficient size
to make 100 tons of ice per day. Captain
Symons estimated that it would take
about 10000 gallons of water per day, and
he informed Mr. Goldschmid that there
were no facilities in the southwest section
for furnishing this amount of water. To
do so new mains of large size will have to
be laid. This he thinks should be done,
especially as this compahy's water rent
would be SO, 200 per year, which he esti-
mates would be 10 per cent. of the cost of
the mains. The matter will be referred to
the Commissioners, who will be asked to
secure special appropriation for laying
large mains in the southwest
Captain Symons stated to Critic re-
porter that this entire section of the city
is poorly supplied with Potomac water,
and there has been considerable com
plant from housekeepers that they cannot
get enough water for domestic purposes.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing
uses considerable ofthe South Washington
supply, but complaint is frequently made
that this establishment does not have
enough water.
Mr.. Goldschmid was seen by CRITIo
reporter to-day, and he stated that Mr..
James Humes the representative of the
Arctic Ice Manufacturing Company of
Cleveland, Ohio, is interested in the en-
terprise and he has been stopping here at
the Riggs House for week or more, and
leaves tonight.
He said there are four gentlemen in
the company, but for private reasons he
declined to make known the names of
the other gentlemen, who are local busi-
ness men. The cost of the plant will be
S125,000. He stated that some Of the
same people who are pushing this enter
prise have erected two plants of q similar
character in Cincinnati.
1t is estimated that between 600 and 700
tons Office per day are used in Washington

ON STEEL RUNNERS.
Washington's Young People Enjoy n
Season of Skating.

Washington has seen but few days
better calculated for what Goethe called
THE King of Sports" than to-day. And
that the Washington small boy and his
big brother and his pretty sister. and even
in few cases his father, have "caught on"
no one can doubt who took look at the
merry scenes presented on the lake in the
Washington Monument grounds to-day. ?
Here and there in the fitting crowd was
bearded, exercise-loving man, fiippantly
referred to by the small boy as "Hi look
at his whiskers go Ain'the la-lar y
And the pretty girls never looked pret-
tier than they did as they skinned over
the ice, affording an occasional glimpse
of daintily turned ankle-for all girls
who skate have such--the air just sharp
enough to make the warm blood show in
their cheeks, especially when they got
fall.
The boys were out in full, playing
'shinney," kind of polo on ice; tag"
and racing, and, in view of the fact that
there are so few days when skating can be
INDUCED in here, the number of good
skaters is remarkable.

Colonel Lamont's Shopping Tour.

Says the New York Sun this morning:
Dan. Lamont came from Washington

shabby ofall Government buildings would
be cleaned out as soon as the County
Democrats and Tammany can agree upon
the men to fill the vacancies. There are
several $500 plums awaiting the Demo

FALTER NOT.

In the early dawn of manhood,
II the prize you care TO gain,
Mighty tempests you must buffet,
Like the storms upon the Hahn.
What though sorrow, like cloud shadows,
Darken for while the way,
There is something better Waiting
a brighter morrow beyond to-day.
Always basking in the sunshine,
Ever free from vexing care,
Lives like these are weak and futile
Stalwart manhood is not there.
Hand in hand with hope and courage,
In the darkness they will somehow
Shine like beacon-lights for you.
