RETRoSPECTIoN.

When autumn leaves turn crisp and sere.
AND golden fruit hapgs on the bough,
we hail the harvest time with cheer
And crown it king of all the year.
The happiest time of all l trow.
And yet, with many a longing thought
We backward peer into the past
Springtime. With all the joy ii brought
It's puGS and bloom with fragrance fraught
And sigh because it cannot last.
SO. when LIES autumn time is nigh,
With all that makes a life complete
We often backward watt a sigh
For joys of youth that cannot die
Hid sacred in our hearts retreat
Now sow your young heart while there's
room,
With choicest seeds to grow and bear:
And buds OF promise then will bloom
And round you she'd a sweet perfume
Then ripen to a harvest rare

ChaSe's Theater.

Grand opera music at vaudeville prices
proved an exceptional drawing card at
Chase's last evening For a top-line attrac-
ton, the singers from the Metropolitan
Grand Opera Company in New York proved
a noteworthy feature, music of this type
being in striking contrast to that usually
heard on the modern stage.
The selections were in Italian and con-
sisted of scenes from the famous III Tro-
vatore" and the popular "Rigoletto' quar-
tet. Mr.. Guile Manrico was distinctly
the star performer, his clear flexible tenor
voice, of dramatic quality and thorough
conception, proving that he is ever the
artist with temperament and conscientious
effort, whether in a grand opera perform
ance or on the concert stage. Miss Inez
was very acceptabl Ascuzena her con-
tralto voice sounding equally well in solo,

Arrested on Serious Charge.

Benjamin Ccnigisky, youth about TWEEN
ty years of age, who lives at 80 E street
northwest, was named a defendant in
the United States branch of the Police Court
yesterday on a charge of breaking into the
room of Miss Bessie Feaster, who resides at
the same house. Preliminary hearing was
postponed until Thursday. According to the
statements made by Miss Feaster and sew
eral witnesses, in the office of the prcsecut-
ing attorney, she was awakened from her
sleep Sunday night by knocking on the
door On inquiring who 1t was and on be-
ing told she refused to open the door, and
almost instantly, it was said, the door was
forced opened and Conigisky entered.
Miss Feaster screamed for help, several
roomers in the house responding to the
CALL Policeman Schuyler of the sixth pre-
cfnct was summoned and Conigisky was
placed under arrest

T q E I'll E A T E R.
Twelfth Night Out Of Doors.

The right-minded auditor always APP
proaches an entertainment whose avowed
purpose is that Of charity with determt-
nation to approve on the slightest pre-
text and to meet deficiencies with closed
eyes. The open-air performances given at
the old observatory grounds for the benefit
of the House of Mercy, 240S X street north
west, require no such consideration. They
have a refreshing charm of sylvan sim
plicity that is appropriate to the season
and are reflections of the art researches of
a distinguished body of students, the Eliz-
abethan Society. The stage direction is
complete, and every character Is compe-
tently portrayed. No artihcer in paint and
canvas ever produced more attractive
setting than that which served in turn as
the garden Of the Duke Of Orsino and the
estates Of the coy yet determined Olivia.
Three trees twined their boughs above the
grassy stage, and now and then a breeze
loosed bit of blossom which fell like a
spontaneous tribute at the players feet.
The sky borders glistened with real stars,
and the Swaying branches and ruStling
leaves lent a realism to the scene which
human skill could not realize. 1t would be
hard to imagine more beautiful stage pic

probation of the comic intentions of the

distinguished by any extraordinary dis
play of individual merit, was admirable as
a harmonious entirety.

Theft of Bicycle Proved.

Following his conviction in the Police
Court this morning on a charge of steal
Ing bicycle, Charles Maher, about twenty
years old, was sentenced by Judge Kimball
to pay fine of $50 or spend six months in
jail as the alternative. The bicycle in
question belonged to John F. Russell, an
employe of the post Office, and was stand
ing with a number of others near the west
door of the department about q o'clock last
night, when Maher walked up and took his
choice of the wheels. Policeman Samson
who was standing in front of the station
house on the opposite side of the street
saw Maher going away with the wheel and
took him into custody.
Maher declined to avail himself of the
privilege of making a statement when he

EXCISE BOARD AND CLUBS.
No Complaints Filed Regarding Re-
cent Order.

From the members of the District excise
board 1t was ascertained today that no
complaints have been received by the
board from local clubs relative to the order
promulgated by the board in January re-
curing the clubs in the city to close their
bars at 1890 o'clock am, and to Keep
them closed between the hours of 10 am.
and pm. on Sundays 1t was stated that
two clubs have asked to be granted per-
inits TO keep their bars open later than the
limit fixed by the order, but with the ex-
ception of these two requests the board
states that nothing in the form of COM
plant from the clubs has been received
by the excise board.
Hopewell H. Darneille, the District as
SCISSOR and chairman of the excise board,
stated to a Star reporter today that the
excise board is not charged with seeing
that it's orders are enforced, but that 1t IS
the duty of the police department to see
that the rules and regulations prescribed
by the board, governing liquor selling, are
complied with throughout the city.
Commissioner Mcfarland, when asked by
a reporter for The Star today concerning
his interest in the recent rule OF the
excise board and also as to what he OLD
in the matter, said:
Complaint was made to me by both
white and colored men about certain So
called clubs, which had club licenses, but
were manifestly not true clubs but prac-
tically drinking places. l was tolo tnaI
they had a distinctly demoralizing in
fuence. l talked with Mr.. Darneille about
the matter, and unofficially expressed the
hope that something might be done to close
up all such clubs, whether they were run
by white men or colored. Similar represen-
tations were made at the same time direct
ly to the excise board by the Retail Liquor
Dealers Association, which claimed that
these se-called clubs were practically sa-
looms, interfering with their business, and
allowed to run at hours when saloons were
closed. The Anti-Saloon League also adj
vocated change in the method of dealing
with these so-called clubs.
CAS- a result, as l am now informed, the
order of the excise board, closing the bars
at clubs between 1890 am and O'Clock
am. on secular days, and between 10
O'Clock am. and / o'clock pm. and after
midnight on Sunday, was issued. 1 am in
formed today that a result of that order
the Objectionable clubs, white and colored,
have all, or practically all. closed up, which
is a very good result, and one which must
please all good citizens

Abandoned Child Found in Park.

A male infant, apparently more than
month old was picked up on the parking at
I'd and streets northwest last night about
$50 O'Clock and turned over to the police
of the sixth precinct. Peter Kane, living
at No. IL F street northwest, found the
child and took it to the police station. Mr.
Kane was passing I'd and l streets on his
way home and his attention was attracted
to white bundle on the grass. He soon
decided that the bundle contained a child
He then stepped aside for a few minutes
thinking that remorse or fear might cause
the mother of the founding to return. The
mother did not appear however and Mr.
Kane carried the infant to the station. A
nursing bottle had been left in the bundle,
but it had been emptied. There was MOTH
ing about the baby or its garments to give
clue to Its identity. The waif was turned
over to nurse in the employ of the board
of children's guardians.

GRooHn UNHAPPY LOT.
Domestic Row Followed by Fine, With
imprisonment as Alternative.

Separation from his bride on their we'd
ding night was the unpleasant experience
OF Charles Weiss, baker, who spent the
first hours Of his honeymoon In a station
house last night while the bride at home
mourned his absence. He presented sorry
appearance this morning, when he was
arraigned in the United States branch OF
the Police Courtfon the dual charge of dis
orderly conduct and assault and battery.
Both his lips were swollen, one tooth was
missing, his face had been scratched and
the once white shirt front was covered
with large blood stains.
Bicycle Policeman Kleindinst Of the first
precinct and two witnesses were on hand
70 give evidence for the government, while
weiss was accompanied by Attorney Camp
Dell Darlington, as legal adviser. The bride.
clothed in white. her two sisters and sew
eral OF the wedding guests, were also in
attendance.
From the government witnesses Judge
kimball learned that Policeman Kleindinst
was attracted to Weiss home, sos D street
northwest, about 10 o'clock last night by
hearing cries of murder. When he reached
the house he found Weiss In the hallway
indulging In profanity and having angry
words with his bride, so 1t was stated. The
groom refused to accept the kindly ofhces
of the policeman, who attempted to restd e
peace in the new family. and he was placed
under arrest. A struggle ensued during
which Weiss bit the officer on the right
hand and In addition sunk his teeth in
the fieshy part of the policemaRs left arm
above the elbow It was here that the
officer found it necessary to use his black
jack on Weiss to force him to release his
hold.
1t developed from the statements made by
Weiss and his witnesses that he had had
several glasses of beer, and that he wanted
to go out and buy some oysters. The bride
objected to his leaving her and they had
an argument young sister of the bride,
hearing the loud talking by the newly mar
ried couple, leaned out the front window
and shouted murder several times at the
top of her voice.
Weiss claimed that he only used his teeth
on the officer after the latter used the
blackjack on him. Judge Kimball, how
ever, declined to believe 1t and said he be-
lieved from the evidence that the officer
was the victim of an unprovoked assault.
for which he was going to punish the de-
PENDANT. The court thereupon imposed on
him fines amounting to $11O, naming I'M
prisonment in Jail for seven months as the
equivalent.
