ALBAUoH's.-Last night was not particu.
larry cold one, which made it all the moro
complimentary TO the Lamont Opera Com
pany that it should draw house full OF people
to see Johann Strauss opera. 1.-The Pat" Mr.
Herndon Morsell and Mr.. Herbert were addi-
tons to the cast which excited local interest,
but whatever it was it drew the crowd and
when the opera was fully in progress the audi
ence became so interested it did not know or
care whether there was any weather at all or
not. The opera is light in music and talk and
1t Is pleasing at all times. Mr.. Morsell was
the leading attraction and he did not disap-
point his friends. His Interpolation, Good
bye, Sweetheart, Goodbye" carried the house
with whirl. Mr.. Herbert, the other stranger
in the cast also did well in his role of com edy.

Warning to Gripmen.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
want to call the attention Of the gripmen on
the 18th street cable cars to habit which seems
to be gradually growing upon them as they be-
come more accustomed to their work and
which, unless corrected promptly, is liable
sooner or later to result in an accident more or
less serious to life and limb. l refer to the
frequent turning and looking behind them,
which seems to be becoming general. How
ever great their retrospective inclination be
they ought to remember that the safety Of their
passengers, as well as that of many pedestrians
liable at any moment to cross the track ahead
OF them, may depend upon the instant use of
the levers. and should such an emergency pre-
sent itself some time to one of them when his
head Is turned the wrong way, he may have to
account for some fatality for which he can
never atone or forgive himself, however
leniently the law may deal with him. This is
not intended in spirit Of fault finding. but rs
timely note Of warning to set of men for
whom the writer has the best of feeling and in
whose manhood and good sense he has to o
much confidence to believe that they will lie I

THE LAW WOULD NOT APPLY.
A Druggist Charged With Selling Lii
Quor to sfinOrs.

Richard G. Pinkard, who keeps drug store
on 18th street near the Boundary, was charged
in the Police Court yesterday with selling TO
minors, 1t being alleged that he sold half
pint OF whiskey to thirteen-year-old boy
named Gardner
Mr.. Cahill, for the defendant said that the
law only applied to licensed saloons and that
his client could not therefore be prosecuted.
Mr. Pinkard, he said, sold the liquor to the
boy who represented that his mother was sick
and had sent him for it. He produced the
book to show that the liquor was charged to
the boys mother. Mr.. Pinkard, he said, GER
tainly sold the liquor, as he supposed, for
medicinal purposes, and because the boy drank
It and was found under it's influence the defen-
dant was not responsible.
M. Dumont stated his side of the case for
the District, but Judge Miller decided that the
law under which the prosecution was brought
did not apply. and dismissed the case. A charge
OF keeping an unlicensed bar was then filed and
that charge was also dismissed.

PROPOSED LINCOLN MUSEUM.
Grand Army Men Will Try to Establish
One In the Old Ford's Theater Building.

Arrangements are being made by number
OF prominent Grand Army men Of this city to
incorporate the Lincoln Memorial Association.
The purpose of this association will be to found
and maintain a museum of Lincoln relics and
of war relics that would be of interest Con-
gress will probably be asked to permit the use
of the old Ford's Theatre building on 10th
street, which is now occupied by some OF the
clerks of the surgeon generals office. The
building itself is historically interesting and
the appropriateness of its dedication to such a
purpose is regarded as unquestioned. There
is said to be an abundance of material in this
city that would be available for such purpose
and contributions would no doubt be received
that would make the museum one Of the show
places of the city. The Grand Army men have
had project of this kind under consideration
for some time and the plan now approved As
outlined above seems to be a promising one.

short time ago an amusing incident &C.
Cured at Freiburg, in Germany. Two ladies
were standing in front of shop window ex-
aiming the wares exhibited for sale, when the
owner of the establishment, impatient at their
not entering his premises, told them sharply
that they had been there long enough and re-
quested them to move on. The ladies walked
away without word OF remonstrance, Half
an hour later a footman in court livery called
at the shop and asked the ill-mannered trades
man, on behalf of the hereditary grand duchess
OF Baden, how much she owed him for having
looked in at his shop window. The mans feel
ings on receiving the message can be more
easily imagined than described.
