THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. TUESDAY. APRIL 22, 1884. The District Republicans. ACTIVITY AMONG THOSE DISSATISFIED WITH THE LATE CONVENTION.

There is considerable activity among the members of the late republican convention who are dissatisfied with the results of that convention. Meetings are being held quietly, and an effort is being inade to secure evidence of "fraud and intimidation" such as will justify a repudiation of the work of that convention and the calling of a new one by the central committee. Mr. Wm. H.

Brown, of the eighteenth district, said to a STAR reporter to-day that if Mr. Clapp, as chairman of the central committee, did not call a convention, a major1ty of the members of the committee would call a mass meeting at Lincoln hall to elect delegates to Chicago to contest the places of Messrs. Conger and Carson. Mr. Brown said that a petition Was being circulated in his district by a government employe to remove him from the offce of secretary of the district club because he did not support COn- ger.

The Hebrew Orphans. ACTION TAKEN AT MEETING LAST EVENING- -PRO- VISIONS MADE FOR CARING FOR THE PATHERLESS. The board of control of the Israelist's orphan asylum, Messrs. Simon Wolf, H. Adler and M.

Cohen, called a meeting at the 8th-street temple last night to organize an auxiliary to the Grand Lodge of B'nai B'rith, of District No. 5. The meeting was small, but representative. Mr. Max Cohen called the assemblage to order and announced the object, stating the condition of the finances of the organization and the nature of its Investment for the beneft of the I-raelite orphans.

Mr. I. Blout was then elected chairman; Mr. Schonfarber, secretary, and Mrs. S.

Herman, treasurer. Various sums were contributed by them, and the following were appointed a committee to collect contributions: ReV. L. stern, L. Abrams, M.

Bernstine, J. Hertzog, King, N. L. Rosenburg, Mrs. Phil Wallach, H.

Grantz and Mrs. A. Kaufman. Mr. Simon Wolf read report of the orphan asylum.

With the fund on hand the parent organization is now maintaining and supporting thirteen orphans at the asylum in Baltimore, all of southern birth. It is proposed to add to the fund through different sources, including literary and dramatic entertainments by the Washington Literary, Argo, Lawrence Barrett, and different societies, and through the annual subscriptions. The latter average in Washington 1s about $1,000 per annum. It is expected that the fund throughout the nith district will, in course of time, be ample enough to commence the erection in Washington of an orphan asylum to cost at least $100,000, and in which the orphans from the fifth district, which comprises the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, will find a shelter and home.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR: As the Commissioners, in their letter objecting to the passage of the bill allowing damages for street improvements since 1870, did not exhaust the subject, nor show its full injustice, I venture to add one or two substantial reasons to those pointed out by them. As is well known, street. improvements have progressed in the District for ninety years or more, and the people of Georgetown and a portion of Washington have been compelled to submit to grading and cutting of streets without compensation for injury during all that time. This bill now proposes to give those people nothing who suffered prior to 1870, but to tax them to belp pay others who have suffered since that time. This injustice is so gross that no fair-minded man can well entertain it even in his own favor.

As well might those who have lost by fire since 1870 ask Congress to pass a bill requiring payment of that loss from those who suffered by Are prior to that date. Again, a large proportion of the property along the streets improved since 1870 has changed hands from one to several times, the original owners having died or removed from the District. This bill is an invitation to the claim agents to hunt up cases industriously and carry to heirs, administrators and non-residents the astonishing news that Congress has ordered the District to pay them money which the original owners did not ask for nor dream of. In short, it is a bill for the relief of claim agents and to promote litigation to an unlimited extent and open Pandora's box anew. E.

FORD'S OPERA sparkling comic opera, "The Queen's Lace Handkerchier, was sung and acted with such spirit at the Opera House last night as to delight a large and fashionable audience and cause them to overlook a few minor defects in the vocalization. Apart from these, full justice was done alike to the pretty melodies and quaint musical effects. The singing and acting of Miss Fanny Redding as the King, Miss Searle as the Queen's confidante, Mr. Pyke as Cervantes, and Miss Manfred as the Queen, showed an artistic appreciation of the work and they were rewarded with frequent rounds of applause, while the antics of Mr. Greensfelder and Mr.

Gustave Adolphi as Prime Minister and Tutor to the King, respectively, kept the audience in roars of laughter while they were on the stage. The latter's apostrophe to the moon was one of the hits of the evening. The chorus 18 strong enough for the work, and the orchestra fair. The magnificent chorus near the close of the second act was given with such effect that it had to be twice repeated, and even then the audience did not seem to be satisfied. The opera will be given this evening.

A YOUTHFUL HORSE in the Criminal Court, Judge Wylle, a colored boy named George Taylor, about 10 or 11 years old, was tried for the larceny of a horse, on the 31st of March, from Frederick Voss.
