REMEMBERING THE POOR.
The Grand Army Making Preparations
for Its Christmas Dinner.


This morning the street entrance to
the armory of the Washington Light In
fantry Corps was piled up with bags of
potatoes and barrels Of apples. The arm
ory inside looked like storehouse in the
multiplicity of articles that had been
placed there, all for the G. A. X. Christmas
dinner to the widows and orphans and
disabled soldiers.
Seated at q table were four gentlemen
making up the list of families who will
receive the G. A. r. bounty.
Comrade Il. X. Turnbull said to THE
CRITIC: 1--WE have been giving these
Christmas dinners for the past three
years The Christmas dinner committee
is organized by a representation of two
members from each of the G.. A. X. posts
and one member from each of the Wo-
mans Relief Corps, whose duties are to
canvass for subscriptions of money and
donations. They meet to-day at the W.
L. |. G. Armory, reporting to Comradc
James r.. Brown and myself for assign
ment TO duty.
1.-THE dinners will be made up according
to the applications received to date,
now numbering 1853 families, comprising
l $50 persons. BY tonight the arrange
ment in each case, it is hoped, will be
completed, and tomorrow morning the
transportation committee, consisting of
I, Comrades George Wagner, George T.
Jacobs and Frank Paige, will, with the
aid of dozen or more wagons, deliver at
the residence of each family the q. A. II.
bounty of Il Christmas dinner, fuel, etc.
1.-THE contributions, both of money and
provisions, has been quite as liberal as
those of last year, but, at the same time,
/ there is an increase in the number of fami-
I lies to be supplied. The school children
you saw this morning with packages in
their hands all had contributions either
( for us or the Associated Charities"
Up to this morning there had been re-
ceived by the G.. A. II. committee for dis
!. tribution tomorrow: 100 bushels of pota-
toes, barrels apples, 900 pounds chicken,
30 barrels flour do be done upin l2l pound
packages), $50 pounds coffee, 800 pounds
sugar, 800 pounds candies, 800 pounds

ADJUSTMENTS.


Despite the Counter attractions of
Christmas shopping, there were good audi
ences at both the uptown theatres last
night, and good performances to reward
their attendance. At the Grand Opera
House Casino Company treated an awe
stricken assembly TO what, but for news
paper premonitions, would have been one
of the most startling surprises of their
lives. Hamlet with that merry per-
sonagc eliminated, would presumably be
thrilling, indeed, to what me might inn
agine an Aronson opera minus pink tights
and Amazon marches. In this sense
however, Poor Jonathan" who doubt
I less thus deserves our sympathies, Is de-
parture from the nude, as well as a new de-
| parture. It isa comedy opera of contem-
porary and mostly conventional costume,
and Messrs. Millocker and his somewhat
numerous librettists may fairly be for
| given this once on condition that they
/ never do it again. The 'men singers
not always live up TO the McAllister stand
ard Of caudal invfsibility. The handsome
pri,na do'i',a and a number Of her fair
companions are in very charming Oxford
caps and gowns, or evening rig, worthy OF
Worth and pretty enough for Pingat. The

elevations of rot where the .diz-
ziest fancy must hesitate to follow.
But the music, like all of this pleasing
composers, is SO bright and tuneful, the
work OF tho company so uniformly excel
lent and the mise en- scene so attractive, that
the success of this rather novel operate
experiment need no longer give cause for
wonder. There seems sort of fatality
that when there is roof-raising farce
comedy by Mr., Hoyt, the drainatist at one
house, there is nearly always u gorgeous
shrimp-pink or Nile-green interior by Mr..
| Hoyt, the scenic artist, at the other. Last
4 night was no exception, and the beautiful
| turquoise palace well deserved the plaudits
| of the audience. OF the cast the Harriet
| of Miss Camille Darville easily carried Off
the honors. To a handsome and COM
| manding stage presence she adds a voice
| of considerable range and flexibility and
| undeniable volume and culture, which
| was heard to excellent advantage in the
| attractiyenumbers of the role. Mr., Henry
| Hallam's tenor was equal to the require
| ments of the eccentric M. RubMyold, and
| Mr.. Fred Solomon was mlisically as well
| as dramatically reliable as usual. The
| role of Jonathan is not an ideal one for u
| comedian of Mr.. Solomon's scalibre but he
| tackles II conscientiously and dintelligently,
as is his custom, with the result OF success.

New YoRK, Dec 23.-Dr. Charles Jack
son, alias Buchanan, who, as rejected
suitor of Mamie Murphy, murdered her
in Chris. Johnson's Sixth avenue saloon
on April - last, during jealous rage,
was yesterday fortunate enough tn have
his plea of manslaughter accepted by
Judge Martin and to be sentenced to serve
nineteen years in State prison. instead of
being tried for murder in the first degree,
with his life as the penalty of conviction.
The protests of dead Mamie's father
and mother against this manifest limita-
ton of justice were not sufficient to COM
pass the rejection of Jackson's minor
plea and the trial of him on the graver
Indictment, because the plea had been nc
cepted and could not then be thrown out
by the Court. Hugh Murphy, the father,
wept at the result Of the case, for he felt

a friend of the Hon. Roger Q. Mills said
to THE Critic reporter this afternoon:
II am astonished that Mr.. Mills should
go on record favoring the nomination of
Grover Cleveland---a man whom he per-
sonally dislilles. Mills was very badly
treated by Cleveland when the latter was
President. 1t is fact, and Mr.. Mills will
bear me out in the statement, that Cleve-
land never invited him to n single enter
tainment given at the White House. And
again, in the days when Cleveland was
taking his tariff lessons, Bill Scott of Eric
always figured as schoolmaster and not
Roger q. Mills. Mills, although the great
tariff leader in the popular branch of our
