Judge Cox. in Equity Court No. 1. today
announced that he had decided not TO en-
join the Capitol Railway Company from
running its cars on f4ehr street east. M
street south and sth aStreet east by the
Brown system. The court further refused
to restrain the District. Commissioners
from granting any further permit to recon-
struct the system or make further expert
ments on the streets mentioned, or to per-
petually enJoin the Capitba Company from
running cars in the streets in question by
means Of the Brown surface system. or to

Instructions from the streets This Is the
suit that was recently instituted by the
Anacostia and Potomac River Railroad
Company.
In denying the application of the Anacos-
tia Company for a restraining order Judge
Cox stipulated that hts action was without
prejudice to that company 10 renew the
application, should further facts arise
which 1t may be advised are sufficient to
warrant such application.
When the matter was argued last week II
was maintained, in behalf OF the Anacos-
tia Company, that the Brown system is not
safe or satisfactory system for the
streets in the city Of Washington. and that
1t endangers the horses Of the Anacostia
Company and the lives Of those who travel
on the streets referred to. Many affidavits
were read setting forth that horses of the
Anacostfa Company In stepping on the box
es OF the Brown system had been knocked
down.

the District Commissioners that in their
opinion there Is q reasonable preba bility
OF perfecting and installing the Brown sys-
TEN. and that during a period of trial the
system can be operated with due regard
to the safety Of the public and without un-
due damage to any other road using the
same tracks.

argued that It's system does not endanrer
the horses Of the Anacostia COMPANY nor

TODAY'S BIG CAME is TO Be QUEEN
Grand Play Miss O'Neil
Gives This Evening.
High Praise for the Young Star
Difficult CharaCter-Br.nss
Elizabeth Back

This j. what the Bulletin. san Fran
cisco said OF the performance at San
Francisco of Elizabeth by Nance
O'Nen, supported by the Mckee Ran
kin Company:
Nance O'Neil mad the greatest tri-
umph she has yet won here in Eliza
beth. Queen of England. at the Col
umbia theater last night. When il Is
remembered that many actresses who
have acquitted themselves creditably
in other roles have been absolutely
idotic when they have attempted Eliza
beth. when the awful caricatures to
which MOdjeska has played her Mary
Stuart are recalled. it is seen how hard
a character the Virgin Queen is 10 por-
tray. Unlike any modern type, a wom-
great Queen has seemed to defy the
most skilful interpreters of dramatic
character.
Nance O'Neil brought Elizabeth back
TO us. She was imperial and stately,
even while she was swayed by as many
caprices as the floating particles of the
air. Virago, termgant, despot, fury,
she was yet all these in royal fashion.
The womanishness of the role was
never allowed to overcome the ruler.
Il am not a woman" she says, Il am
a king"
To form an estimate of Miss O'NeiIs
great ability it is only necessary TO re-
member the difficulties OF portraying
in one character the iron Will of the
born commander with the tender fas-
cination of the woman, the tantrums
of Jealous woman and the supreme
egotism of sovereign.
Miss O'Neil moreover looked the
part. a beautiful. queenly Elizabeth
whose subjects We're both on and of
the stage.
The play is one of the best of its
kind. Historically representative, it is
of keen dramatic interest.
Those who are DESTROYS Of securing
seats for this evening will please call
at Wall. Nichols Company before IL
O'Clock. as the store will then close FOR
the day.

Early Thanksgiving Days.

The first recorded Thanksgiving was
the Hebrew feast of the Tabernacles.
There have been but TWO English
Thanksgiving in this century. One
was on February -. 1872. for the re-
covery of the Prince of Wales from i'll
ness; the other. June 81. 1887. for the
Queens jubilee.
The New England Thanksgiving
dates from 1888. when the Massachu-
sets Bay Colony set apart day for
thanks iving.
The first national Thanksgiving pro-
cIamation were by Congress during the
Revolutionary war.
The first great American Thanksgiv-
ing day was in 1874. for the declara-
ton of peace. There was one more ma
tional Thanksgiving in 1888 and no
other till 1863. when President Lincoln
issued a national proclamation for a
day of thanksgiving. Since that time
the President has issued an annual
Iamation.-Journal of Education.

by the Town Team.
In the year 1890 the Charleston
eleven, captained by Lieut.. Dan Car

intercollegiate foot ball game ever
played in these Islands. The Charles
ton boys were victorious. Since that
time intercollegiate foot ball has had
large following and the game has
grown steadily in popular interest.
Every year has witnessed a match

elevens. During the last three years
the Towns have heen victorious. large

Of the players, especially in last years

Such men as Whitehouse, Schimer-
horn Cornwell and COnradt could not
be resisted by the Punahou boys. and
as a result the Town" had a walk
over the gown" last Thanksgiving
Day.
Another Thanksgiving day comes
around and the expectations OF the
friends OF both elevens are TO be real
lied or disappointed.
The Punahou team has a large num-

the merrier.
Last year about a thousand persons
witnessed the struggle, and it is con-
fidently hoped that this number will be
doubled today. Don't forget your col
ors-"Buff and Blue for Punahou,
and BLACK and Yellow for the Town.
The Town boys have been somewhat
discouraged this year and will be
strongly handicapped because of lack
of practice, but individually they will
be stronger than the Punahou lineup.
Any one who knows anything about
foot ball is painfully aware of the fact
that individual strength in foot ball
team will not as a rule, be victorious.
The PunahOu eleven showed a splendid
resistance against the Pennsylvania
eleven and Mr.. Rabbit has worked
hard to bring his players into good
form. He has had very few men from
faithful practice and determination of
his men may prove more effective than
the individual strength of the Town
Eleven.
Punahou is also stronger than the
Town Team in kicking and will doubt
less rely much upon this style OF a
game Very few players can punt a
ball as far as Captain SOper can when
he is in good trim. The chances for
victory seem TO be pretty evenly d.
vided and the lovers of good sport will
be treated to clean and manly game.
George Carter has kindly consented
to umpire and Hiram Bingham Jr.. to
referee the game and Captain Berger
will be present with his boys to arouse
and enthuse and cheer up the crowd
during the intervals. The managers
have stated that there will be no ac-
cidents today. so the timid fair ones
should not hesitate TO come out in full
force.

Iveriest fellowship and swset familiar

veriest fellowship and swset familiar

For Helen and Fanny the Easter
service was a dream of music, smiling
faces and weddings of the past and the
future, but the whole was far too long.
They would fain awake and span the
gulf between-and yet were vaguely in
doubt to think of what they would say.
When at last, to the peals of a glori-
GUS postludium, the congregation
turned to move to the door in calm pro-
cession, young Jack and the blushing
Julia came tripping down the aisle in
time to take their respective mothers
by the arm and halt them face to face
in the vestibule.
1--WE came from town to surprise Won
both" said Jack, d-ahem-to-to
ask you for each other. I want Julia
and Julia wants me, and it was for that
reason we sent the bonnets"
And the bonnets, being twins, resist
ing each other no longer, came nearer
and nearer together, till at length the
nodding violets on either one leaned for
ward and commingled lovingly with
those upon the other.-Ella Stirling

Within, as Mr.. and Mrs. Montague
walked calmly up the aisle, the organ
was pealing eXultantly, pouring forth
its thousand voices of praise in an ex-
uberant and swelling river of harmony,
as if itself were the fountain of melo-
dies divine.
They took their seats, and reached.
like children, each for the hand of the
other, to exchange a gentle pressure.
No sooner had Mrs. Montague cdm-
menced rapid survey of the congreg ga

wondering with might and main how
this singular duplication had been made
possible.

Mrs. Montague was timidly attempting
similar sortie. The glances met and
fell again to the books. The service
commenced, but nothing was heard or
observed, except in a dim. uncertain,
mechanical manner, by the two. They
were quite enough engrossed with at
tcmpts to flank the enemy.
In the midst of the battle of glances,
which had gone so far that each was
now feeling singularly humorous and
amused, their gaze was focused on a

THE DATE OF EASTER.
Why 1t Is Sometimes Early and at
Other Times Late.

The date of Easter is determined by
the ecclesiastical calendar of the Cath
Ole church. 1t is a very complicated
and laboriOus affair invented by illus,
a Neapolitan astronomer and sage, I'M
der Pope Gregory MIL, at the close
of the sixteenth century. 1t would be
preposterous to tax the brains of mod
ern readers with the abstrusc calcula-
tons by which the date of Easter is
determined, but few general rules
might be given for their enlightenment
The regulations of the council of
Nice are four: First. Easter must be
celebrated on a Sunday; second, this
Sunday must follow the fourteenth day
of the paschal moon; third, the paschal
moon is that moon whose fourteenth
day falls on or next follows the day
of the vernal equinox; fourth, the
equinox is fixed invariably in the cal
cndar on the 21st day of March.
This calendar moon, it should be re-
membered, is not the moon of the heav-
ems nor yet the moon of the astron-
omers, but it is an imaginary moon
created for ecclesiastical convenience
From these conditions it follows that
Easter Sunday cannot happen earlier
than the 22d of March or later than the
25th of April. Free Press.
