Served Greater Part of His Life in the

Funeral services were held this afternoon

Saturday afternoon after long illness. Mr..
Jordan was born in Portsmouth, Va, and

Choral Society in the messiah. y

The eighteenth annual performance of the
oratorio of the Messiah" by the Choral
Society was given at Chase's Theater last
night. The audience was large and seemed
to recognize the appropriateness of the rep
resentation of Handal's masterpiece on Sun
day night. The quartet which interpreted
the solos was one OF the best balanced that
has been heard here in a long time. Mrs
Anita Rio repeated the favorable impress
sion she created when she sang the soprano
role in the Messiah a year ago, and de-
serves praise for her clearness of enuncia-
ton and the general excellence of her work
Miss Marguerite Hairs full, rich contralto
was heard to splendid advantage, particu-
larly In the solo, HE Was Despised and
Rejected of Men, which was given with
dramatic fervor. Mr.. Nicholas Douty was
the tenor solOist, and as he is familiar
singer in Washington. having been heard
in this oratorio more frequently than any
other vocalist, 1t only need be said that his
work was in every respect up to the high
standard that he himself has set. The bass,
Mr.. Frank CroXton, was new to Washing
ton, but his powerful and resonant voice
was fully equal to the demands of the diff
ficult score and proved that the praise that
had been bestowed him elsewhere was
fully justified. TIE great solo, why Do
the Heather So Furiously Rage was given
with splendid effect, which was at once rec
ogniZed by the audience IN enthusiastic APP
plause.
The work of the society was deserving of
high praise but that is to be expected of a
body of singers which is so conscientious in
it's attendance at rehearsal and which has
sung this oratorio so frequently. All the
choruses were sung with good phrasing and
excellent time, the climax of effect being,
of course, reached in the Hallelujah chorus,
which was given with thrilling and power
full emotion. The Washington Symphony
Orchestra accompanied the society and
played with artistic effect, not only sup
porting the singers in their work, but play
ing the beautiful pastoral symphony ex-
cellently. The whole performance was I'M
der the capable direction of Prot. Josef
Kaspar, the musical director of the Choral
Society.

HEALTH OFFICE STATEMENT.
Explanation of an Incident in the.
Police Court.

Health Officer Woodward, when he
learned of the incident in the Police Court
Saturday which tended to connect the ac-
ton of the smoke inspector with the VISITS
to certain local firms of representative OIL
a business house handling contrivances for
preventing the emission Of annoying smoke,
made the following statement
1.-The city is being canVassed continually
by representatives of the manufacturers OF
smoke-preventing devices of all kinds.
These men are guided in their work in part
by the published accounts of prosecutions
in the Police Court of violations of the
smoke law and in part by their own OBJ
servations of the emission of dense smoke
from particular establishments. If In the
cases tried in court this morning the visit
of the agent for the smoke preventing de-
vice followed not long after the smoke IN
spectors report had been received by the
mana gers of the establishments, that fact
merely shows that the emissions were OF
such Il character as to attract the attention
of two Independent brewers and to be re-
garded by each sufficiently serious to
require consideration and action on the
part of the proprietors Of the establish
ments.
I'm no other case has it ever been al
legged that the visits of the smoke inspector
and the visits of representatives of smoke
preventing devices have been in such close
sequence as to suggest that there was any
connection between them, and in the pres
ent case no evidence has been offered by
the complainant discovered by the health
department to show any such connection.
THE persons who control the particular
smOke-preventing device to which refer
ence was made in the trial keep an agent
in the field at all times, on fixed salary,
and pay him a commission on his sales.

FRANK aoppKN DEAD:
Went to Tuscon, Ariz., Several Weeks
Aro for Benefit Of Health.


Frank w. Golden Of The Evening Star
reportorial staff died Saturday at Tucson,
Arlz, after an illness of several months.
A telegram announcing his demise was re-
ceived by friends in this city Saturday
night.
Mr.. Golden was son of the late Mrs.
Mary Golden, who died year ago, his
father having died when he was an infant.
He had been in poor health for some time,
and in October last went to Asheville. N.
c., with a hope of improving his condition.
He returned to Washington few weeks
later and was confined to his bed. On Mo-
vember % he departed for Tucson, Ariz.,
where he again went in the hope that the
climate would benefit him. He stood the
trip comparatively well. but shortly after
his arrival at that place contracted
slight cold A few days previous to his
death he was compelled to return to his
bed, and gradually grew weaker until his
death Saturday.
He was twenty-five years of age and was
well known in this city, where he had spent
his entire life. He began his newspaper
career on The Star nearly fourteen years
ago, starting as a messenger IN the edi-
torial department and gradually worked
his way to the position of reporter. His
kind disposition and manner won for him
many friends, among whom he was very
popular He was held in the highest
esteem by his employers, who always found
him a loyal and faithful worker. Mr.. Cod
den was to have been married in Septem-
Der last, but owing to his ill-health post
poned the event Indefinitely. His nearest
relatives, an aunt residing in New York
city and one in Philadelphia, survive him.
He had no relatives in this city.
The remains will probably be brought to
this city for interment in Rock Creek GEM
etery, beside those of his mother.

Carrying Them Not Decreased in the
District of Columbia.

"The statistics do not Justify the claim
that the carrying of concealed weapons mas
been abandoned" says Major Rlchard
Sylvester, chief of police, but on the other
hand there has been a gradual and de-
cided increase in the number of appreheh-
sions under this charge. The imposition
of a fine does not seem to diminish the
practice, and in the opinion of your super
intendent a Jail sentence. without reserve
or recourse, should be imposed upon VIOLA
tors of the law. The penalty being dis
cretionary with the court as to hne, 1t
should be amended so as to make the pun
ishment adequate for the offense. and the
individual who stalks the streets prepared
to kill should be sent to Jail and given an
opportunity to reflect upon the gravity OF
such conduct
SALES of weapons should be restricted to
persons of lawful age, and dealers should
be required to keep a number or other
mark of identification in every instance
where a sale is made. This is necessary on
occasions to establish guilt in murder or
attempt-to-kill cases.

SCHEME THAT FAILED.
Every Man Touched" Had Received
Necktie as Christmas Gift.

would you like to hear the sad story of
philanthropic movement that failed utter
Typ inquired a well-known citizen of a
Star reporter this morning. 1.-The recital
will not be long one.'
Having received an encouraging reply, the
man whose endeavors had not met with
success proceeded with his remarks. "A
couple of my neighbors and myself are in
terested in the Sunday school connected
with the church of which we are members.
Arrangements were completed last week
for an entertainment for the amusement of
the scholars of the Sunday school, to be
held this evening. AS the funds of the
church are very limited. it developed that
in order to give the entertainment as orig
inally planned about $40 more than was
available would be needed.
AS three of us were discussing ways
and means last Saturday, what | consid-
cred novel idea struck me. Suddenly I
announced that | would guarantee to raise
the much-wanted SO and to have the cash
in hand by this morning. My friends i'm
mediately demanded to be informed how
proposed obtaining the money, and | proud
ly unfolded my scheme. 1t was to tackle
every man of my acquaintance within reach
Christmas day and require each one who
was not wearing new necktie to con-
tribute quarter or dime to our Sunday
school fund. / reasoned it out that most
men folks would receive neckties as part
Of the Christmas remembrances bestowed
on them. and that they would deliberately
refrain from wearing the same yesterday
as naturally they would not want it to ap-
pear that they donned their gifts as soon
as the same were received.

morning and continued my quest until

for gift, and, would you believe it. the
majority of them were wearing their new

BIRDS AND GAME.
Their Preservation Touched on by Maj.
Sylvester.

Major Richard Sylvester favors the pres
ervation of birds and game in the District,
and referring to this subject in his annual
report to the Commissioners, he says:
1.-THE attractions of Rock Creek Park,
and the wooded country adjacent thereto.
might be materially increased by the pres
ervation of squirrels, water fowl and such
game birds as take cover thereon. Wild
ducks have been known to patronize
streams within populated areas where ohey
have been protected from gunners, and
SQUIRRELS will multiply in these native for
ests if the gun and dog not allowed to
disturb them.
1.-The great Rock Creek Park, already so
much admired by visitors and others, af-
fords an abundant domicile for preserving
small animals birds and wild fowl, and
legislation to that end would be in accord
with the efforts which are continually be-
ing made to advance it's interests

was arrested last evening and sent to the
ninth precinct station on a charge of cut
ting Edward Bacon. The latter received
wound above the heart from which he

gagged in a fight. Bacon came out of it
with wound above, the heart, as stated,
and Howard fed.
Policemen Martin and Thomas later ar
rested Howard. He denied having cut
Bacon. but, the police allege, he had
blood-stained knife in his possession. Bacon

he lies in serious condition.
