BASKET BALL GAMES.
Washington Players Easily OutpOint
Their BaltimOre OppOnents.

The Baltimore basket ball players do not
seem to be in the same class with our local
men. Saturday night in this city, at the
senting that organization met the Central
Y NJ c. A. five from Baltimore. Before a
large crowd of enthusiasts the local players
scored an easy victory, the figures being
% to 4. This game was the first of series
OF intercity basket ball contests between
the two teams. The visitors were good at
passing the ball. but when it came to de-
fense work placing the sphere in the
basket they seemed to fall short Of the re-
quirements. The local men, on the other
hand. played all the fine points nicely, and
their accuracy in placing the ball and get
ting it over the floor was irresistible.
While the above game was taking place
In this city the Washington Light Infantry
boys, champions of the District, were hard
at work in Baltimore showing under the
five representing the Young Mems Christian
League the score at the finish being p to
/. As has been clearly demonstra ted,
the Light Infantry lads play an ex-
ceptionally good game, and until they
find teams outside the two cities
somewhere near their equal In play
ing strength their games are bound to
be walkovers. Reports from Baltimore say
that the Washington lads simply scored as
they pleased and only quit when they be

marks of their opponents. The playing

served them right; that any death was too
good for Chinese who would desert the
graves of their ancestors" Unless this
emperor erred, which is unthinkable In
China, the American policy must receive

Cantonese and Annoy men from unpatriot-

An Important Gas Question.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


AS The Star is always wide awake to the
best interests of the local public, l suggest
that the columns of the paper be opened for
the discussion of the question of gas and
meters.
The subject of gas meters should receive
immediate attention from Congress. Any
consumer of gas can have his meter tested
as often as he desires, but there now APP
pears to be no provision Of law to prevent
a gas company from removing the meter
after the test, thus giving the consumer
some other meter instead of the one he had
tested.
Above all, Congress should provide for an
adequate rebate in cases where a meter has
been tested and condemned as being too
fast. In case which recently came under
my observation a consumer. after paying
series of unusually heavy gas bills, had the
meter inspected. 1t was found 71h per cent
fast, and condemned as unlawful The gas
company. upon being informed of the facts,
coolly offered a rebate extending back only
one month. This offer was refused.

change Of opinion.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star

NEW YORK, February g. 1901.
The thirty-fcurth annual exhibition OF the
American Water Color Society, which open
ed with private view yesterday evening,
shows on the whole a distinct step onward.
Tie display is certainly ahead OF last sea-
sons at the Waldorf-Astoria and il has
gained in dignity in every way, now that
the A W. c. s. has returned to It's old
home in the former Academy of Design
building where the light is better and the
space less cTamped.
This year the Evans prize of $500 was
awarded to Edward H. Fotthast for SUI
perb water color called "A Reverie." The
artist has depicted an evening scene on the
verandl of a summer cottage by the sea-
shore and shows us a woman seated beside
an open door. from which a path of warm
lampl!ght streams. Beyond the dark porch
one catches a glimpse of the water lit UP
with the pale radiance of moonlight. and
the whole effect is studied with remarkable
truth,

The number of contributors from WASH
ington this year is no larger than last, but
the showing Is really much stronger and
the individual pictures command far more
attention. Even in the preliminary notices
in the New York papers the Washington ex-
hibitors have received no little attention,
and this fact is about the best evidence
one can have that the painters from the ma
tional capital are beginning to be recog-
niZed as a factor to be reckoned with.

Spring on a SuSquehanna Hillside Is the

cate color!ng and remarkably skIllful tecA-

characteristic Landscapes.

James Henry Moser is represented by no
less than six characteristic landscapes, of
which the uniform excellence makes any
thing in the nature of a choice difficult.
Most Of the artists seem to be especially
attracted by the poetic charm of his moon
rise on the lake. but there many who
find more delight in Mr.. Moser's most care
fully studied and elaborately worked-out
picture in which clouds and lifting mists
form the motive.
Mr. Walter Paris has nothing this year
that will arouse such general interest as his
blizzard scene did last year but there Is
in his work a noticeable gain in refinement
and deliCacy of color.
Hobart Nichols who has never been any
thing but an intermittent exhibitor in the
different New York displays. appears to
excellent advantage in subject found on
the French coast. 1t Is admirable In its
simplicity and in its subtle color quality
and Is one OF the pictures in front of which
artists gathered in little groups the night
of the private view.
The exhibition opens 10 the general public
on Monday, February IL, and will continue
until March ~.
