HOWE COMING AGAIN.

The moving pic lures of Lyman II. Howe, at Court Theatre, yesterday afternoon and evening, were witnessed by audiences which were well repaid for their presence. It was no ordinary production which greeted their eyes, but an exhibition which kept their in- terest aglOw from start to finish. Everything was new, and it was an nounced that Mr Howe would return to this place next season with an en- tirely new collection of pictures. MT Howe has evidently made the moving picture his life work, for never has the art been so successfully shown up in this city before. The company has an extensive and diversified program. all of which were put on with remark able skill. Wheeling, w. Va, News, February IS, 1904.] Mir Howe's exhi- bition will be in New Milford on Octo- Der 20.

DISTRESS SIGNS IN
 THE POLICE COURT
LAWYERS PROTEST AGAINST A COMMON ABUSE-JUDGE A6ER- NATHY TELLs WHY WATERBoY TOOK HIS BADGES OFF.

A little company of lawyers were talk ing last night in the lobby of the Hill- man about the manner in which some members of certain fraternal orders hurt their organizations by hanging out sig nals of distress whenever they happen to land in the police courts.
 appears frequently in cases in the police and inferior courts, 'seem never to real ize that they are Masons or Knights of Pythiss or Odd Fellows until they find themselves face to face with Judge Fea- gin, Judge Abernathy or Judge Benners. Then they finger their badges ndustri- ously and cry out in the court room that they're members of this, that or the other lodge. It seems to me that their respect for their organizations, if not their self-respect, should restrain them from advertising their orders so conspic- uously in such places. Don't you agree with me, judge?" said the lawyer, ad- dressing Judge Abernathy of the infe- rior court, who was in the company.
 Judge Abernathy shifted his cud of peppermint chewing gum from from the northeastern to the southeastern side of his mouth nursed his chin with his right hand, slyly winked his left black eye. and said briskly:
 q used to have a nigger boy to wait on me when l first went on the bench. We called him ''waterboy.' I don't know where he got his name. 'Waterboy' was what you call jiner.' He began timing on timing till, at length. he had 'jined' pretty nearly every order to which nigger boy is eligible. His coat and vest were literally covered with fraternity badges. Pins of all shapes-diamonds, crescents, crosses and I don't know what all-were thick on 'Waterboys' chest He looked more like a senegamban po- tentate on the way to a photograph shop than he did like an ordinary nigger paid to clean spittoons. sweep the floor and make fires.
 T used to make fun of him about his pins and tried to make him ashamed of himself But it was no use. One morn ing when I got to the court room I found Waterboy stopping over the grate and fussing with the fire. He was down in the dumps. I called to him. and when he came up to the desk I was astonished to find he didn't have on any of his badges. Whats the matter, Waterboy? asked. Whats become of all your badges?'
 "The nigger shook his head regret fully, scratched his kinky hair about half a minute and said ledge, jis tell you. Dey done gimme de stress sign so often I jis he'd ter ta-ar em all off

American people to hold the bal in the capitol.
 MT. Pou of North Carolina believed the ceremony should not be conducted in . niggardy manner, and favored the plah to use the capitol building.
 MT. Gaines of Tennessee said that if the ball was to be held at all, 1t should be held decently, and in proper order He favored the pension building.
 Baker convuIses the House.
 MT. Baker convulsed the house by re- ferring to MT. Thayers use of the word regal
 'I am opposed" he said. ito anything beng done in this country in regal kingly manner He wanted 1t done In democratic and simple manner. He then turned his attention to the President and said he was impressed that the greatest authority in advocacy of the simple life, should have such ardent friends upon this floor demanding that he be inaugurated in a regal manner.
 MT. Baker put the house in an uproar when he declared the object of the ball was to be to give opportunity to the wealthy "to parade their jewels, their gowns and their finery, os that it can go all over the United States that Mrs. Tom Jones attended the Presidents ball, and that she was arrayed in such thery which is believed to nave cost 5000
 By an emphatic mo" the house voted down the resolution.
 The resolution went back to the calen- dar. It can be brought up again on Dis trict of Columbia uay, which will be the second Monday in January unless a special rule or some other arrangement Is made for it's prior consideration.
 Under suspension of the rules, bill was passed to amend the act authorizing the Pearl and Leaf Rivers Railroad company to bridge Pearl River Miss.
 MT. Morrill, of Pennsylvania called up the bill to grant the temporary occu- pany of the Washington monument grounds for the American railroad appll= ance exhibition Messrs. Mann of Illinois. Maddox of Georgia and Gaines of Ten nessee opposed It. A motion to pass the bill under suspension of the rules was voted down, after which the house at 4:2e D. m. adjourned until Wednesday.

MANY SMALL FIRES
 IN JUST TWO HOURS
FIRE IN FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING BADLY DAMAGED JAN IToR,s ROOM ON THE EIGHTH FLooR-THE OTHER FIRES.

The fire department had four fires in less than two hours last night, and be- fore the firemen had time to return from one fire another alarm would come in. A fifth fire yesterday was about Il o'clock, but fortunately none of the blazes were serious.
 In the morning there was small fire in the residence of Mrs. Atkins, Ninth avenue and Twenty-nrst street. The loss was small.
 About o'clock last night a. telephone message was received that a Pullman sleeping car was on fire at Morris avenue and Twsnty-fourth street. The hose wagon from East End was sent to extin- guish the fire, which caused a loss of about s10o.
 A short while afterwards an alarm came in from Ninth avenue and Nine- teenth street, where a house was dam- aged to some extent by fire which originated in a peculiar manner. It start ed behind a f1ue on the first floor and ran up to the ceiling of the second floor, then across the building under the roef.

Unitarian Presidents.

ID. Webster King. in t-le New York Sun.
 I notice in your paper of last Sunday an article. Faiths of the Presidents in which it is stated that there were two Congregational Presidents, John Adams and John Quincy Adams;' also that Mil lard Fillmore was Unitarian. the only Unitarian President"
 Now, the Unitarians are the Congrega- tionalists of the Congregationalists, first and foremost. All Unitarian churches are Congregational churches Most "or- thordox' churches are Congregational churches-probably all. John Adams and John Quincy Adams were Unitarians of the most positive stamp. l have heard my father say that Zachary Tay- Tor, whom he knew well and oonverssd with in regard to the subject, was also a Unitarian.
 believe it is extremely difficult to draw the line between worshippers of tho Congregational bodies, but certainly the statement in regard to John Adams and John Quincy Adams Is wrong if 1t ranks them as other than Unitarians-

House EmphaIicaHy Votes Down

RldIoues the Expressed Wish of One Member That Inaugural Ball Be Conducted In Regal and
 kingy Manner.

Washington, December 19.--The house of representatives today emphatically disapproved the proposition to hold the inaugural ball in the capitol building. The committee having the matter in charge had substituted for the pension building as provided for by senate reso- lution, the congressional library, but Mir. Morrill, of Pennsylvania, who called the matter up announced that the opposition to the latter building was so great the committee had concluded to substitute the capitol building A storm of pro tests came from both sides of the chamber.
 The resolution offered by MT. Morrill, was voted down, the result being to de- ay action until the next District of Co., Iumbia day in January. The house also voted down a resolution making a special srder on January D, bill to restore to the naval academy three naval cadets who were dismissed for hazing.
 The house presented deserted appear ance today. The resolution for adjourn ment for the Christmas holidays does not become effective until Wednesday, but a HT6dl many hehibeiS diicduS hdNS uS- parted for their homes, ana the conse- quence was a slim attendance.
 Take Up Red Cross Bill.
 At the opening of the, session it was agreed to adjourn rom today until Wed nssday The house then took up the bill recently passed by the senate to incor- porate the American Red Cross. MT. Fitzgerald of New York interrogated Mir. Longworth of Ohio, who called it up re- ssrding the reasons TOT the disbandment ol the present Red Cross organization
 MT. Longworth answered that there were great many reasons, one or which vss that the records of the present Red Cross society have been loosely kept; that it was impossible to tell just who were and who were not members. MT. Williams of Mississippi the minority leader, was emphatic in the declaration that the protection given the insignia in the present bill could not extend to those already using il in their business MT. Lorgworth agreed with that view, saying that no rights were forfeited. The bill then passed.

From the Philadelphla Recoru
 Since I came home from Russia year ago it makes me feel quite like a roue to ,go to church and listen to the warbings of frisky sopranos and contraitos,' confessed man who passed over year in the land of the great white czar.
 ''I was privileged to go to most of the most famous cathedrals in all Russia, country which countenances no instru- ment. of wood or brass. nothing except the human voice. The music is of the most spiritual, a sort that is closely all lied to prayer. ranging from angelic sweetness and delicacy to terrifying grandeur It fairly sweeps you off your feet The church choirs are composed of men and boys only, the female voice being banished as being too enticing and suggestive of the snares of the world"
