that the federated clubs of the city
were taking up the important work

every club and every Individual do the
most possible for the city's welfare
and beauty and with such enthusiasm
that all the clubs would desire to join
| in the good work. There are twelve
| federated clubs in the city and the
president of each had been asked to
sneak five minutes on village improve
| ment and tell the opinion of her club as
to what was most needed and how 1t
could be brought to pass Some OF the
ladies read papers. but the most of
main theme was clean up, clean up,
and various ways were suggested.
Mrs. H. j. Howe, of the ID. A. r.. and
Mrs. L. w. Robbins. of the Women's

school children had been organized and

There has been variety to the program

character of the piece-nearly filled the

good in it's way. There is still room
for Improvement in 1t, however, as
"A Hot Old Time" gives splendid OPP

PHOTOGRAPHIC HUNGER.
A MuddIe Over the Payment of Peo-
ple i'm the OHce.

1t may take an act of Congress to settle
the controversy now going on over the
manner of payment of the employees of the
photographic Office. There are eighty, all
told and the semi-monthly payroll is about
$1,000.
At the first of the month the payroll
was held up on decision of the Comptroll-
er of the Treasury. r. ]. Tracewell. made
on another case and based on an extract
from the supplement TO the Revised Stat
utes which says that no officer or clerk.
draughtsman. copyist, messenger. assis-
tant. ETC., shall be employed, except sal
airy for such employment be specifically ap-
propriated.
The decision of the Comptroller stands as
against that of any other officer of the
Government on appropriations. He has
been sustained by the Supreme Court. His
infallibility was decided in the sugar boun
ty case. In that instance the Comptroller
held that the bounties were unconstitu-
ional. The Attorney General took a con-
trary view.
The opinion has been held by the dis
bursting clerk and by the Secretary of the
Navy that the Legislative, Executive, and
Judicial bill, providing for the year ending
June 30. 1899, made specific provision for
the payment of draughtsmen and other en-
ployes of the photographic Bureau out of
the miscellaneous appropriation. There
have been two appropriations put together
in the Photographic Bureau, the salary
and the miscellaneous. and all salaries
have been paid out of this joint fund.
Now there must be some sort of revision
Of the habits of the office, if the Comp
troller's decision is to stand, or the eighty
employees will have to wait for their sala-
ries until next December to have an ap-
preparation hurried through Congress.
The photographic Office gets out all the
pilot charts used by the Navy and also
by the merchant marine. 1t is the second
largest map publisher in the world. The
British Admiralty is the largest.
Unless some provision is made at no dis
tant day for the payment of salaries some
Of the engravers and possibly some of the
other technical men, whose places will be
hard to fill. will seek work in commercial
fields.

WRIT OF cERT1oRARI GRANTED.
The Case Against George SIndOvich
to BE Proceeded WITH


Attorneys T. A. and W. J. Lambert, rep
resenting Mrs. Olivia c. Starring, yester-
day presented a petition to Justice Brad
ley for certiorari against her former secre-
tary. George Sladovich. The petition
states that the plaintiff Sladovich being q
nonresident, is required by law to fur
nish bond for cost prior to bringing suit.
The case was first called before Justice of
the Peace Anson S. Taylor, and although
Mrs. Starring moved that the action be
dismissed the Justice refused. and is now
attempting to proceed with the case. The
defendant therefore asks that 4 writ be
served requiring Justice Taylor to imme-
diately certify to the upper court the pro-
ceedings in the case. and Justice Bradley
has ordered the writ to be issued as
prayed.
Some weeks ago the Equity Court obliged
Sladovich to return to Mrs. Starring Sc
curities worth $35, ,0OO which it is stated
he was holding as security for a claim OF
$50.000 for services as secretary to the de-
fendant. He then claimed $500 for a
weeks services, and instituted the present
proceedings before Justice Taylor. The
Equity Court, upon motion of the de-
fendant's counsel, yesterday issued an or
der enjoining Sladovich from proceeding
further until after a hearing of the defend
ants petition on April "a.

An Evening with Lonsfellow.

Last night the alumnae of Immaculate
Conception Academy had an evening with
Longfellow at its regular monthly session.
The hall was tastefully decorated with the
colors of the institution-blue and yellow
and was well filled with the members and
their friends. The programme was mostly
by members of the senior classes of the
school, but Mrs. Marguerite Nolan Martin
rendered solo with her accustomed ease
and in excellent voice. Other solos were
sung by Misses Harper and Whitesell.
The evening was opened with a sketch of
LOngfellow. by Miss Eva Melting. How
Longfellow Wrote the Psalm of Life and
The Bridge" was told by Miss May Mel
ling and Loretto Sullivan. The latter also
gave the origin OF Excelsior" The pro-
gramme continued with the Indian epic
'Hiawatha," by, Miss Mangan; an extract
from THE Armchair by Miss Miller;
"The Last Moments of Longfellow," by
Miss Whitesell. and Genius of Longfel-
low," by Miss Clark
Other musical numbers that interspersed
the programme were a vocal chorus. a
quartette. The Moonlight Stream" violin

a certain Italian opera troupe from some
place in Canada to this city. and that the
railroad was guaranteed the cost of trans

railroad company brought the people to
Washington according to contract. but was
unable 10 collect the payment agreed upon.
The reason that the defendant refused to
carry out his part of the contract ii was
stated is that considerable of the property

was lost. Among the property lost, it
was stated. were two trunks and some
librettos belonging to the manager. Mr..

observation-disclosures,

Few playwrights of modern days have
created as many or as great successes as
has Augustus Thomas. retrospective
view of the past decade will show an even
dozen of Mr.. Thomas works which have
won critical and popular commendatiOn.
OF these, Alabama" is probably most po
etic possessed of most atmosphere. and
withal most capable Of pleasing. Strange,
then, that within the past five years this
piece has been seen but twice in the Ma
tional Capital and that both presentations
occurred during the same season and less
than three months apart. Accordingly. it
is little wonder that an audience commen-
surate with the merits of the offering and
of the producing company assembled yes
ter-evening at the Columbia for the pur-
pose of welcoming Alabama"
Thoughtfully and calmly considered one
must declare the enactment Of the Frawley
Company to be superb. The drama could
scarcely be better mounted or with greater
care for mechanical effects. The third act
setting was received with continued ap-
p,ause and deservedly so. The fire flies
fitting to and fro. the moonlight stream
ing on the lovers gate, the odor Of the
magnolia in the air. all made the scene
impressive and effective.
There are twelve people of the Frawley
company concerned In tne Interpretation
of Alabama and ten are worthy of re-
view more lengthy than the limits will
permit. The excrescences upon the other
wise fair ensemble are Myron Calice and
Frank Matthew. The latter will improve
when he learns trife about phrasing and
emphasis, but at present many OF the pret-
tiest thoughts OF Mr.. Thomas are lost In
his reading. But his errors will scarcely
be observed in contrast with the multitude
nous ones of Mr. Calico. Although pos
sessed of authority, this actors ar,cula-
,ion is so defective that half OF his lines
are lost before crossing the footlights. The
evenings delight to those who have fol-
lowed the personnel Of the Frawley Com
pany. was in the initial appearance of
Charles W. King in the part of the ven
cradle Colonel Preston. While necessari-
ally standing comparison with that grand
old actor. Mr.. Stoddart. the younger artist
suffers little in this way. Naught could be
more satisfactory to Mr.. King than his re-
ception OF last night. Washington certain
ly was good to him.
And then Burr Mcintosh is so humorous
so true TO life. and so capable in the ad-
mirable role of Colonel Moberly, that no one
with even limited Southern acquaintance
could escape picking his double in mo-
ment. His accent is not disagreeable and
ali in ALL Mr. Mcintosh won a great per
sOnal success. Godfrey STEMS heavy is
not overdone. despite the formality of the
part. while Selene Johnson is pretty and
natural as Mrs. Page. Harry Corson Clark
presents an interesting study. and the
briefer bits are capably handled by Alfred
Hickman, Mary Van Buren. George Gas
ton, and Corrinne Parker.

tertainment Of the gathering was contin-
uous. One OF the best specialtfes of the
entire evening was W. II. Stewards solo
dance. The pedal efforts OF Matte Phil
lips, Ida Butler. and the Merediths were
much appreciated. as were May Lange's
coon" songs. A new member Of the COM
pany is Muriel Ringgold. who is not only
very light on her feet. but a genuine ac-
tress, as she proved In spite Of somewhat
limited opportunities. One OF the prettiest
features of the bill is the singing Of camp
meeting melodies by male chorus in Co.'S
tune.
The "operatic Kaleidoscope" which closes
the performance does not differ materially
from several other offerings Of the same
sort which have been seen here, save in
that il is rather better than were most of
them. Black Patti has lost none of her
power to please. and the supporting COM
pany is perhaps the best she has ever had.
