York. which is trustee for the mortgage
creditors of the c.. ". & Z. Co. 1t asserts that
the road has failed to pay interest. that it is
insolvent and there is no other way in which
equitable relief can be obtained. The indebted

first issue of bonds to the amount of 81 600 coo.
On this is an accrued interest amounting to
$3.50 0n0
The Baltimore and Ohio road was represented
IN the action and acquiesced in the proceeding

"Dudes and Mashers.1


THE POLICE MAKING AN EFFORT TO RELIEVE THE
ATEB-GoERs FROM A NUISANCE.
"All the dudes and Washers will have to
move on" This was the order given by the
police of the first precinct each night last week
to the regulars" who loaf in front of the thea
tiers when the performances are over. The or
der did not apply TO persons waiting for friends,
but was enforced against those known as habit
ual loafers in front of places of amusement.
ITS getting so bad said policeman, that
if continued ladies will soon stop going to the
theaters without escorts. When they come out
alone they are liable to be insulted and if the
rudeness of the gang goes no further it is en-
barrassing for a lady to be stared out of coun-
tenance."
Who are these loafers?" asked the reporter
Who are they" echoed the officer. ''Dudes
and mashers. Many OF them appear to have
no business whatever, except to loaf in front
of the theaters. They appear at almost every
performance. night and day. Then there is an
addition to the usual crowd when the perform
ance is over. The peanut gallery sends out its
usual number, SO that by the time the ladies
are coming ont the crowd on the sidewalk is so
thick that it is with some difficulty ladies can
get through at all. The nuisance has continued
long enough. and if possible il will now be
abated. II there Is no other way some of the
offenders will be taken to court"

How to Stop the DOdger Nuisance.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
/ sympathize fully with the party who COM
planned to the Commissioners recently about
the dodgers or circulars thrown into his esti-
bule. There is scarcely day that my vestibue
and porch at my house, and my hallway at my
Office is not Uttered with these nuisances. Not
only that. but they are blown all over the yard
and sidewalks by the wind A few days since,
as left my house in the morning. | met man
with his arm full, leaving them at every door,
and when l spoke to him about 1t as being for
hidden he replied that he had permission from
the authorities to hand them 10 people. If
this be so ii is ali wrong. for not only do they
ring the bell and compel the servant or some
member of the family to leave their work to
answer the bell but in most cases az soon as
they have refused to accept the print and the
door is closed, it is thrown down and left to be
blown about. Now | make it an invGriable
rule to take the name of the parties who seek
to advertise in this way and Herer t,ty article
of HeDl. | have two such before me now. one
doing business on Pennsylvania avenue and
one on l4th street. and they may rest assured
that will never deal with them. | do not give
their names because / do not propose to give
them free advertisement. Now. If all citi
zens who are annoyed III this way will but
adopt my rule. and boycott the dealers who
create this nuisance it Will soon cease. What
they want Is trade, and whenever they are
made to plainly understand that such a course
will prevent their getting it they will stop it.
If want 10 buy anything and don't know
where to find it / will look at the advertise
ments in the papers-the proper place for it
and not at street dodgers. If all will do the
same the nuisance will soon be broken up. The
police should be instructed to arrest every per-
son seen on the streets with these things in
their possession. So. too, the street car com
panies should be made to stop their being hung
up in bundles in the cars from whence they
are torn down: thrown ON the floor and from
thence scattered about the streets to litter
them up and frighten horses. They are an
unmitigated nuisance and should be abolished

fun into the performance than he did at Al

large audience laughed at his delightful droll-

they were witnessed for the first time thou Oh
probably nearly all of those present had wit

Halls singing of the pretty Lullaby
received rather more than the usual
number of encores. and the never fail

pretty and graceful as Jarotte. and Mr..
Mac Donough as Eugene gave satisfactory
performance. Mr.. Plunkett's Rdre1nes was.

it acceptable There is no change in the beau

NATIONAL THEATER.-Lotta appeared in
"Pawn Ticket No. 2i0' at this house last night.
She retains all her well-known saucy ways. and
the audience showed no diminution of enjoy

HARRIS BrJoU THEATEE.-Though a good
deal of the fun in Skipped by the Light of
the Moon" is forced. there are many incidents
in the farce that are really laughable. as the
waves of merriment which pitched and tssSed
about the audience at the Bijou last night
abundantly proved. The play will remain at
the Bijou all the week.

attraction, of course. being the sparrlng by

Growing Evil of Divorce Laws.

From the Baltimore Sun, to-day.
The Ministerial union of Baltimore yesterday
adopted resolutions designed to check the
growing evil of divorce in the United States
The discussion of the subject was interesting
but the most important action of the meeting
was the resolution adopted recommending a
uniform law of Congress and restricting the
legal grounds for divorce. The subject of
uniform marriage and divorce laws for all the
states of the Union is being widely discussed
a social, moral and religious topic. In this
state it is required. in order to bind two people
in wedlock that there should be mutual agree
ment. competency and a religious ceremony.
In some states mutual agreement is sufficient.
The total number Of marriages in Baltimore
city during the past nine years was 80, 954;
during the same period there We're 1,660
divorces. In 1887 there were 4.349 marriages
