IT WAS NOT A NUISANCE.
For some time past it has been the habit of
the garbage contractor to take all garbage down
the river and deposit it at Shepherds landing,
where the farmers whereabouts could utilize it
a fertilizer.
Recently the Commissioners received several
protests from residents in that locality claiming
that the landing of garbage at that place a

dents. The sanitary inspectors were sent to
investigate the matter, and as their report
denies:the existence OF a nuisance the Commits
slOners have. upon the advice of the health
officer. granted permission to the contractor to
deliver to a limited number of persons on the
low grounds small Quantities Of garbage for
fertihzirg purposes long nuisances

sioners TO the propriety of employing ten
sanitary inspectors for one month from Septem-
Der 10, to be paid from the emergency fund. the

holds that if, in the opinion of the Commits
sioners, there is or shall be on the 10th day of
September such reasonable fear of an approach
ing pestilence as to require the employment of
the inspectors, his Office will not interfere with
the Commissioners discretion in employing
them.

four promissory notes for $50 each, made pay
able to the order of himself. Mr.. Champions
Saltzstein patent for souvenir spoon and ac-
cepted the notes in payment therefor. Suisse
quently he said man giving his name as jack
son and his occupation as that of note broker
called and wanted to buy the notes. Witness
agreed to sell them but Jackson did not want
them unless he could have Saltzstein identify
the signatures. He sent Mr.. Keith Sutherland
with the broker, and when they returned he
was told that Mr.. Saltzstein had kept the notes.
Messrs. H. f. Woodland and Neil Dumont,
who appeared for the defendant, examined wit
ness at length and he told of the various trans
actions between himself and Saltzstein.
The note broker, Jackson, did not material
ize, but Mr.. Sutherland and another witness ap-
peared and made their statements.
Mr.. Woodland said he would like to argue the
case on behalf Of his client. but the court told
him that an argument would be of no good,
he had made up his mind what he would do.
There Is prlma facie case made out, =" said
the judge, but do not believe that when the
case is heard in the court that has jurisdiction
the government will be able to make out their
case As l am sitting here only exanin-
ing magistrate l have merely got to carry ont
the law, and III order to show my belief in the
ultimate responsibility of Mr.. Saltzstein 1 am
not going to require him to give real estate
security. The case will have to go to the grand
jury and Mr. Saltzstein's personal bonds will
be taken for his appearance.

a good chance of going up the list, for the east
ern clubs finish the season at home

Amateur Opera mt Herndon.

Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
HERNDoN, Va, Aug. %, 1892.
This beautiful little town is very gay this
summer and it has been remarkably free from
sickness.
We have long needed town hall at which
public entertainments might be given. The
town has outgrown the seating capacity of the
buildings we have for the purpose.
Some OF the young people of the village de-
cided to start fund for hall by giving mu-
steal entertainment in the shape of an operetta
and, owing to friction with the school board
the school house could not be secured, SO the
young men erected a large tent. The operetta
given was "A New Years Reception, by the
popular Hub Smith. Miss Whitaker as Mrs
Gushington, the society leader. was excellent.
She has a fine contralto voice of considerable
volume and rendered the two solos of her part
in u satisfactory manner.
Miss Starr WAS charming as Belle GushinqtO,a
and won a deserved encore for her solo, Happy
Am l."
Miss Taylor as Marie, the colored maid, and
Mr.. G. F.. Yount as Smitters the florists as
sstant, took the house by storm and were simply
inimitable. Miss Taylor's song and dance, II
Am Nothing but Mig, won several encores.
Mr.. Yount's BARRY Hail. the Masher," sung in
his rich baritone, was the most striking song Of
the evening. and the audience were enthusiastic
in their praise. Mr.. Mcneil, as Charlie Jones'
was very creditable.
The minor parts were filed by the Misses
Stephenson, Crounse, Buell. and Yount and
Messrs. E. Taylor, A. Buell., F. Whitaker and E.
L. Robey.
The quartet, "wen Meet Again." sung by
Miss Stephenson and Messrs. Robey, Buell. and
Whitaker, was well sung and heartily encored.
The choruses were all eXcellently given.
Miss Roby and Mr.. McNeill gave instrumental
selections between the acts and Mr.. Paul Hall
gave several recitations.
The stage was tastefully arranged and the
costumes were elegant, having been especially
prepared for the occasion.
The audience was large, enthusiastic and ap-
preciative Many Washington people were
present, prominent among whom we're Prof.
Darlington and his family and friends, Mr. VIM.
Newhan and family, Mr.. E. Kipp and family,
Miss Fuller, Mr.. C. W. p. Stodder, Mr.. Frank
Mack and Mr.. A. J. Whitaker, deputy fourth
auditor, and family. Quite a number came out
on the extra train.
After the opera the performers gave most
enjoyable spread to their friends. s.
