Loyal Legion Entertainment.

The entertainment to he presented ct Ma
tional Rifles armory on Tuesday, Deem
Der II, under the auspices of the Legion CT
Loyal Women, is already attracting much
interest. Ye ancient days presents first an
old-tinle "Synge," at which the music is all
very old. and in it's day was widely sung
ranging from 1922 to 1855 Some of the Sc
lectiors. such Barbara Allen" and 1.-The
Roast Beef of Old England" are familiar
names, but comparatively few persons
have ever heard them we'll rendered, while
the famous odd Liberty Song" also called
"In Freedo m We're Born" written by John
Dickinson before Patrick Henry had
spoken his famous Give me liberty or give
me DEATH plainly indicates the spirit of
ING, and was published as sheet music
from copper plates and sold at the old
Boston book store on King street as early
las 1I6S, and everywhere sung for more
than half a century. After the grande con-
certe, in which over fifty finely trained
voices, under the leadership of Tymest
arly known hereabouts as F.. d. Tracey, a
march has been devised by Maistre of
Dauncing J. H. Nermilya, which will intro
duce some of the most celebrated CT We
daunces of ye olden tyne. Even the re-
fires ments will paftake of, the spirit of the
occasion. Seed cakes of all sorts. pound
cake, loaf, fruit, election and pork cakes
all from the receipts of the most notable
housewives. The reule for the old Hart
+. A. Cleaves was used in Henry Ward
Beechers family for over one hundred
years before its present owner secured it,
and. on. Many rare daintieS will be
there, and many quaint costumes will be
worn, all to close with a grand ball.

The Columbia Cable Stoned

The Columbia cable road was twice block
ed yesterday at the crossing of the tracks
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany. At l o'clock a ten-ton stone, which
was being pulled across the street car tracks
On wagon. and which was covered with
ice, Slipped f: ON the trucks and fell across
the street ear tracks. Traffic was prevented
for half an hour.
At ) o'clock a similar accident occurred
al the same place and another tie-up re-
suited. 1t is probable that the Columbia
company will take some action to prevent a
continuance of these stoppages to the traffic
of the line, because they claim it is due en-
tireIy to the carelessness of those having
the transporta ton of the stones in hand

ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE.
Arranging Plans for the big c. Z.
Convention.

A meeting of the entertainment commit
tee Of the committee of '06 was held yes
terday afternoon at headquarters, in the
Lehman building. This was the first meet
ing since the organization of the commit
tee, and there was only one absentee, the
members present being Miles NJ. Shand,
chairman; Norman T Elliott Clayton c..
Slocum, w. 1. Simpson and w. w. War
wick.
The work before the committee was Of a
preliminary character. but considerable
active work was planned. Those hotels in
the city who have not yet informed the
committee as to the number of guests they
will accommodate during the convention
were divided up among the members for
the purpose of canVassing for rates, &c.
Already this committee has heard from
ten hotels on the subject, and in the aggre-
gate provision has been made for nearly
four thousand delegates. Several of the
transportation agents of the various state
unions have visited Washington and con-
tracted with some of the hotels for head
quarters for their delegations.
1t will! interest every friend and member
of the Christian Endcavor movement to
learn that the Chinese umbrella of state
which was awarded to the District of Co.
lumbia at the Boston convention last year
VIII remain permanently at the nation 8
capital, The local union won the prize last
year by reason of its excellent showing in
mission work, and the umbrella has been
taken by the missionary committee to the
various societies where missionary meet
ings were being held. 1t has become a ia
miliar object to all the Endeavorers, and
they will be delighted at the determination
of the officers of the United Society that it
is to remain as a permanent testimonial
to the interest and zeal Washington has
shown in the missionary movement. 1t is
more than probable that its presence here
will stimulate the Endeavorers to renewed
activity in behalf of missions.
AS has already been stated in The Star,
two new streamers from Canton, China,
We're received last Monday to replace those
which were so scorched and d;scoored at
the time of the Y. NJ c. A fire. The new
streamers are exceedingly ornate and elab-
orately embroidered. They are blue, and
will contrast we'll with the colors of the
umbrella itself.

COURT OF APPEALS.
Judgments Affirmed in Two Cases for
Damages.

Damages.
Opinions were filed in the Court of Appeals
after adjournment yesterday in the case of
Christian f. Eckloff against the Washing
ton Gas Light Company, and In that of Pat
rick Dougherty and Robert O.. Laskey
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, the judgment Of the court below
being affirmed in each case. in favor Of the
respective plaintiffs.
In the first case, in which Mr. Eckloff re-
covered judgment of $1,000 against the de-
PENDANT company 1t appeared that in examin-
ing defective water meter with a candle he
was injured by an explosion which followe ed
from the escape Of Illuminating gas. 1t also
appeared that he examined it onIy after lne
employees of the company had assured him
there was no danger in SO doing. 1t was
claimed by the company, however, that Mr.
Eckioff himself was guilty of negligence, but
the appellate court holds that he was justi-
fled in relying upon the assurances of the
company's employees because of their right
ly presumed experience and knowledge.
In the second case the plaintiffs recovered
a Judgment of $3.50 for the loss of three
horses. They were also awarded into -
the value of the horses from the time Of
their death in the railroad acc.aeiL ,..v
Court of Appeals, in affirming the Judgment,
holds that it was warranted because the &C
ciient was a breach of contract for the safe
delivery of the horses, not being an action
in tort

evening last to welcome Grand Master r.
H. Sorrell and the officers of the Grand

very correct exemplification of the work by
the officers of the lodge, and also with the
prospects of the lodge, as shown by the
books. The lodge room was neatly decor

NEWTON WAS HELD.
His Assault on II Policeman Recalled
in Court.

in Court.
Policeman Posey of the third precinct,
who figured in the desperate encounter
with Major Newton, colored, about three
weeks ago, as printed in The Star at the
time, was able to appear in the Police
Court yesterday afternoon and give evil
dence against his alleged assailant. DR..
Mayfeld, one of the police surgeons, gave
evidence concerning the officers condi-
ton. He was struck with brick and there
is a depression against his lungs, which
causes hemorrhage, and an ugly cough.
The officer is losing flesh every day, and
there is no certainty that he will ever
fully recover. The colored mans head
was also battered and he was lame from
injuries ne had received during the strug-
gle.
The affair happened near 18th and L
streets. Newton was drunk and was ar
rested for disorderly conduct and profan-
ity. He resisted arrest and during the
struggle the officer received a severe frac-
ture of the ribs The policeman used his
pistol. but without effect.
Judge Miller heard the evidence Of the
officer and other witnesses and the de-
PENDANT made a denial of the charge He
denied that he threw a brick and claimed
that he was ill-treated by more than one
policeman, both before and after he was
taken to the hospital.
Lawyer Moss argued the case, directing
his remarks to the policeman whom he
arraigned for the part he had taken in
the fight, and commented on the manner
in which the arrest was made.
Judge Miller suggested that the police
man might have hired a brass band and a
carriage when he wanted to make the ar
rest.
The record showed that within about two
years time Newton has been arrested
twenty-siX times.
Judge Miller held Newton for the action
Of the grand jury and he was committed
in default of $500 security.

COOKING AS AN ART.
Mr.. Murrey Explains the Possibilities
of the Chatting Dish.

Cookery as Science" has been amply
discussed by the authors of all text
books in chemistry, and cookery as
duty Is a familiar incident of every
household. But cookery as a fine art
Is yet in its youth. That it is a most
vigorous and promising youth, however,
was shown by the interest and approval
with which the public received the lecture
at Metzerott Hall yesterday afternoon, by
Mr.. Tom Murrey, the proprietor of the
House restaurant, whose achievements
have won him the confidence, not only of
statesmen who are gourmets, but of gour-
NETS who do not permit even the cares of
patriotism to intrude upon their favorite
pursuits. Mr.. Murrey considered cookery
more as polite accomplishment than as a
perfunctory element of household routine
And, in order to make 1t a satisfactory
complishment, clearness and minute exact
ness were, of course necessary. Mr. Muir
rey thoroughly recognized this fact. There
was no miStaking his instructions as to the
precise kind of cheese that will make a
welsh rabbit, and the particular moment
when the ale should make its debut in that
most interesting and delicate performance.
His remarks on the chafing dish awakened
many people, for the first time. to its i'm
portance as practical utensl, and the
specimens of his cooking submitted to the
critical palateS of the audience were con-
claims for it. The blending of materials, so
familiar as to seem almost common place
to produce dishes of delightful piquancy,
was one of the most attractive features of
Mr.. Murrey's unique entertainment, and
We're as much as anything he said sub
jects of attention from the prudent who
came armed with pencils and note books.
The lecturer was particularly careful to al
low plenty of time for the reduction to
writing of each recipe hat he used, and at
the conclusion of his remarks answered Ill
questions and received on the stage those
OF the audience who desired 10 inspect
cir y the paraphtrnalia of his profession.
tn men, young and old, We're particularly
exact in their efforts to carry away every
point of the discourse. The concise lucidity
with which Mr.. Murrey explained matters
hitherto. regarded as mysteries sacred to
the high-salaried chefs was as entertain
ing as it was instructive. The manner in
which he adapted his instructions to the
resources of the Washington markets. to
which he referred as being among the best
in the country, was also a noteworthy sub
ject of approval. Mr.. Murrey's next lee
ture. which occurs on Tuesday, will be on
fish and shellfish-topics which the abund-
ance and variety yielded by the Potomac
river and Chesapeake bay make peculiarly
interesting in this city.
