on Byrne's place, which was made about 8 o'clock by Sergeant Trott and Patrolmen J. J. McLynn, James Crawford, Geo. Dem-lein and George Sauer, all of the Eastern district. According to the officers their presence about the place was discovered by those Inside the saloon long before they were enabled to effect an entrance.

Sergeant Trott finally climbed over the ferfce in the rear and then let his brother officers into the yard. They forced their way Into the saloon through the rear entrance. A number of negroes were in the place at the time and these were almost panic-stricken. Several of them attempted to escape through the rear way, while others sought hiding places in the coal bin In the cellar. One negro even climbed up into the chimney from the cellar and was only Induced to come down after Sergeant Trott said he would shoot him, emphasizing tne threat by firing against the cellar wall.

Another negro was found crouched in a dark corner of the saloon on an empty beer keg. Finally all of them were "rounded up" and taken to the station house, where they gave their names and addresses as follows John Waters, 705 Vine street Joshua Pollard, 305 Norwood court William II. Free Judicial Afterpiece Said To Have Been Cut From Eagles' Show. "Afterpiece? There Isn't going to be an afterpiece, because the Judge has be come angry and said be wouldn't This is the reply a reporter of The un got from one of the members of Aerie No. 59, Fraternal Order of Eagles, yesterday, when the reporter asked' about the' farce in which Police Justice Garland was to appear in a sort of "hot finish" to the grand show which the Eagles are prepar ing to give here at the Maryland Theatre and to take off to Philadelphia and New York with them.

The piece was a "beaut" if burlesque could make it so, for pickpockets were given liberty and they "collected" from the jury by means of the shell game the amount they lacked to pay their fines. Other occurrences equally satirical were sketched with a free hand. Justice Garland wasv selected for the part because a. big, "husky" man who could make the boards squeal when he strnck them with the roll of sausage which has been the gavel of justice on the bur lesque stage for many moons, was wanted and because he Is well known. The Justice agreed to take the bench when the matter was presented to him, but the Justice on the stage became just what was not wanted an owl of legal wisdom, with unbending mein.

Vainly did the playwright cavort to produce lines which would give him "the wished-for Inspiration. Justice Rab was scheduled to be brought before him in feminine attire on the charge of doing a very unseemly dance at the exposition of the Eagles last year. The lines would have brought down any house. Judge Garland was stern, stern as he never was before. Dignity this court must have.

Then the playwright came into the court. He condescended to say bright things without charging anybody anything for them, but he had to retire with drooping feathers. The thing was growing serious. If the Judge was going to be serious the burlesque would be like a wet blanket on the whole show. The Judge's persoaal friends went to him and whispered.

They sat In the orchestra and watched with bated breath when he came on. Then they retired, perturbed. But they didn't guess at the truth. They declare with the utmost sincerity now that things would have happened differently If they had. The big, hearty man of the Third ward, who is known to be so full of rough kindness for his foreign followers down around the Eastern waterfront and who once last summer cooked through a whole night that his followers might eat crab soup the next day, was hurt.

He believed that fun was being poked at him, and he was "turtling" into his shell. It came out a day or so ago. The Justice and several of his friends entered a hostelry on North Gay street to dine, and there his eyes fell upon a poster placed upon an advertising clock. Judge started. The face was the face of a negro, and under it was the inscription: "King Bill In Disguise." He was red mad all over in a minute.

Then he. expressed himself and then walked out. He failed to appear at the next rehearsal of the act and he failed to appear a second time at the rehearsal yesterday afternoon. Because of this and because of the way Justice Garland felt about it the piece was declared off yesterday. "But the funniest thing about it," said the man who told the story, "is that the fellow who distributed these posters thought he was doing Justice Garland a favor and acted in the kindliest spirit in the world." All during the conversation the sound of the chorus was making its way up through the building In the rich, sonorous notes of a band of "darkeys" wandering down the road in the drooning summer of the South.

They seemed to be released and, giving vent to their spirits on having the restraint lifted, sent the notes of "Won't You Come Home, Bill?" up Into the Eagles' rooms. "Is that a peace-making overture?" the reporter asked. "Ask ma?" laughed the man. FOUNDED 85 YEARS AGO Odd Fellows Everywhere Will Celebrate Tomorrow. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the birth of American Odd Fellowship.

The members of the order will celebrate the day In a variety of ways all over the United States, and in 23 foreign countries. Just 83 years ago tomorrow Thomas Wildey and four of his associates in tbe, old Seven Stars in Baltimore founded this organization, which now number 1,300,000 members. A prominent feature of the addresses delivered tomorrow in different parts of the world will be the telling of the story of how the Seven Stars was destroyed by the great Baltimore fire of February 7 and 8, 1904, and the hearts of all Odd Fellows will be made glad when they learn that a committee from the mother lodge of the order, Washington No. 1, of Baltimore, which was born and nurtured in this old cradle, has already secured the privilege of erecting a tablet on the building. The property Is now owned by Mr.

Charles J. Bonaparte. This committee has purchased all the whole bricks from the debris of the original Seven Stars as souvenirs, to be sent to the lodges throughout the country, or at least to as many as can be that will unite in contributing to a fund which has been started to erect a memorial building for the old mother lodge, and which will take the place, of the old Seven Stars in the heart of the order as well as to commemorate Thomas Wildey. These bricks will also in a way serve as souvenirs of the great fire. The number of bricks is limited, must of them having crumbled in the awful heat.

Individual members of the order who contribute as much as $5 will be given a souvenir, or one will be sent to each individual member on the receipt of $5. A neatly arranged certificate, certifying where the brick is from and printed in colors with a picture of the Seven Stars on it, will be given with every brick. John B. Goodwin, of Atlanta, the Grand Sire, and J. Frank Grant, the Grand Secretary of the order, together with many more high officials, have already contributed to the memorial fund, the receipts having reached $1,000.

Lodges in different parts of the country have sent in contributions. The committee has made arrangements with Mr. Elvln J. Curry, of Baltimore, the assistant Grand Secretary, by which they get the net proceeds of "The Red Blood of Odd Fellowship." This book has lately been published by Mr. Curry and has met with universal approval among the officers and members.

The ides, in the calendar of the ancient Romans, were the eighth day after the "nones that Is, as you correctly state, the 15th of March, May, July and October and the ISth of the remaining eight months of the year.

The Romans had a threefold division of each month into kalends, nones and Ides. The kalends were the first day of any of the 12 months, but the nones fell on the 7th in March. May, July and October, and the ides, the eighth day after, were, therefore, the 15th, whUe In January, February, April, June, August, September, November and December, In which months the nones were the fifth day, the ides consequently fell upon the 13th. The kalends were so named from an old religious custom, according to which the Romnn priests on the first of each month used to call (calare) or assemble the people to announce to them the festivities to be observed during the month. 1he nones were 'so named from heir being The ninth day (nona) before the ides, reckoned Inclusively.

The designation Ides Is derived from an obsolete verb, idere, to divide, because they nearly divided the month Into halves. Subscriber, Frederick, Md. The copper cent of 1805 lists at 15 to 35 cents, the half cent of 1800 at 3 to 5 cents. J. F.

P. G-eddes Kill Themselves. USE PARIS GREEN AND PISTOL Widows In Each Case Can Give No Cause Except That The Men Had Been Frederick A. Zimmerman, 54 years old, died suddenly nt his home, 2229 Christian street, yesterday morning about 9 o'clock from the effects of a quantity of parts green which he said he had taken during the earlier part of Saturday night. Coroner C.

Frank Jones, of the Southwestern district, Investigated the case and gave a certificate of death by Bulclde. Mr. Zimmerman, according to the statement of his widow, came home about 7 o'clock Saturday night considerably under the influence of liquor. He fell asleep on a sofa in the dining foom. Mrs.

Zimmerman and her younger children retired. About 10 o'clock he went to bed and shortly afterward is said to have been attacked with nausea. 3 o'clock yesterday morning he returned downstairs. Mrs. Zimmerman said that when she came downstairs about 7 o'clock she found her husband extremely 111 and suffering intense pain.

He declined to tell her the cause of his suffering, but asked for repented drinks of water. Finally his condition became so serious that Mrs. Zimmerman summoned Dr. Philip Ileldrich, 2151 Wllkens avenue. The physician soon ascertained that the man had taken par-is green, which Mr.

Zimmerman admitted having swallowed Saturday night. He declined to speak further of his action to the physician and died less than 10 minutes after Dr. Heldrlch arrived. Neither Mrs. Zimmerman, her children nor acquaintances are able to advance any reason why the man should have taken his life.

She said that her husband hod enjoyed fairly good health and had steady employment at the Wllkens hair factory, where he had been engaged for the last five years. He Is not known to have been in any financial difficulty neither do his relatives or acquaintances know of anyenemies. Mrs. Zimmerman said that he had no relatives living in this country and that she knew very little of his family connections in Germany. He was born in Prussia and came to this country about 22 years ago.

Several years later he married Mrs. Zimmerman, who is also a native of Frussia and whose name was Miss Mary Barbara Drexler. He was a shoemaker by trade and worked at that occupation until he obtained employment at the hair factory. Mrs. Zimmerman said that it was a habit of her husband to drink considerable each Saturday night and sometimes on Friday evenings, and that for that reason no importance was attached to his condition Saturday night as being responsible for his sudden and tragic end.

Mr. Zimmerman was a member of the German Beneficial Association and, besides his widow, is survived by five children Herman, Elma, Katherlne, August and Emilia the oldest of whom is 17 years old. SHOT HIMSELF DEAD James P. Geddes Commits Suicide While Despondent. Mr.

James P. Geddes, 44 years old, shot himself in the right temple at his home, 14 South Fremont avenue, yesterday morning about 9.30 o'clock, and died a few moments afterward. Mr. Geddes was in his bedroom on the second floor of the house at the time, when his wife, who was downstairs, heard the report of the pistol. She rushed upstair and found her husband unconscious on the bed, while the smoking weapon lay on the floor.

Dr. Charles C. W. McElfresh, 854 West Lombard street, was summoned at once and declared life extinct. Coroner Wiltshire, of the Western district, gave a certificate of death by suicide.

Mr. Geddes, according to the statement of a brother, had been drinking heavily for the last four weeks, and it is believed that despondency prompted him to shoot himself. Mr. Geddes was born in Baltimore and was a son of William and Mary Geddes, both of whom are still living. For over 20 years and up to the time of his death he had been employed as a draftsman by Bartlett, Hayward Co.

Besides his widow, Mrs. Annie Geddes, and parents, he is survived by a son, Joseph, 20 years old, four brothers and a sister. dies at supper table William H. Miller Expires In A Spell Of Choking. Mr.

William F. Blaney, 210 South Gllmor street, the family physician, was hastily summoned, but Mr. Miller had expired by the time the physician reached the house. Mrs. Miller stated that her husband had been in feeble health for six months and that he had suffered from vertigo and kidney trouble.

MARYLAND IN KEITH CIRCUIT Theatre Will Be Devoted Exclusively To Vaudeville. During the next theatrical season the Maryland Theatre will bedevoted exclusively to vaudeville and there will be two performances each day. This was decided upon Saturday at a conference between Mr. James L. Kernan, the proprietor of the Maryland, and Mr.

B. F. Keith, the owner of numerous vaudeville hoaaes In Philadelphia, Boston and New York. Ifr. Cerun and Mr.

Keith htve r- f-r VHiT'Ti-r Vr-- LOST On Train S2, which left York. Saturday night, April 23, at 8.02 o'clock and arrWed at Union Station at 8.45, a POCKBTBOOK. containing something orer $1,000 in gold certificates of $20 each. A liberal reward will be given if returned to JOHN P. 8CANLON, Foreman of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and who will be held responsible for itn return.

Mr. Scanlon can be found at TRACEY'S HOTEL, Towron. Mr. Scanlon was not aware of his loss until he reached Union Station at 9.45 o'clock. When about to cross Charles street he.

happened to feel in his pocket and It gave him a great shock to realize that the pocket in which he carried the leather receptacle with the money was empty. He questioned the officials at Union Station and made other inquiries, but they have so far remained futile. He is positive that the pocket book slipped out of his pocket, perhaps on the train, but this is, of course, mere conjecture. The wallet contained over $1,000 in gold certificates, the notes being of the denomination of $20. The money belonged to the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and he will be held personally responsible, for its loss.

Mr. Scanlon makes his headquarters at Tracey's IJotel, Towson. The case hof, been placed in the hands of the Baltimore Police Department, and several detectives were sent out tp Towson to see Mr. Scanlon and get all the information he could give. TO SING "ISRAEL IN EGYPT" Oratorio Society "Will Give Great Performance Thursday Xtght.

The Oratorio Society of Baltimore will sing Handel's great choral work, "Israel In Egypt," next Thursday night at the Lyric. The evening will also mark the tenth anniversary of the leadership of Prof. Joseph Pache, the well-known director of this great musical organization. Trofessor Pnche believes that he has trained his chorus of 450 singers almost to the point of musical perfection. "Israel in Egypt" has been given by the society before, but not for many years.

'The masterpiece which we shall give at the Tyric on Thursday next," said Professor Pache yesterday, "can only be given in two other cities in this country Boston and Chicago. New York caunot produce it. Why? Because Sere is no musical organization in New York large enough to be capable of giving it. It was sung In Berlin two years ago, and the people of that city went wild over it. many persons realize what a widespread effect such an organization can have upon the people? How many can imagine the immense personal sacrifice involved in the gathering of 425 singers, who come Monday after Monday, in all weathers, to the rehearsals? It is a terrific undertaking under even the happiest conditions; but what of those which prevailed just after the fire, when there were few cars running, and yet persons living away out in the suburbs came regularly to these rehearsals.

"As a result of the lire we had to forego one of our promised productions that of 'Elijah' and we have bent all our efforts to perfecting ourselves in this great production of the greatest choral work in existence. The people should know Just what this work means', and I am sure that If they understood it the society would be readily and enthusiastically supported in the work which it is' doing. "Where is there another such educational influence? Of. our 425 members perhaps'400 are members of church choirs. Their training in the Oratorio cannot but help their work and So elevate the standards of all the choirs which come under this Influence.

It gives them a broader view of their work, nnd their congregations get better music as a result. And there are 50 or more school-teachers among us. How can their experience In the society fail to deepen their knowledge and the Jove that is the result of knowledge nnd broaden their scope? Thus we reach the church and the school, and through these the home." The oratorio of "Israel in Egypt" Is a musical description of the trials of the Israelites under the yoke of Egypt and their subsequent flight and deliverance from their oppressors. The soloists Thursday evening will be Mrs. Alice Merrltt Cochran, of Boston, soprano; Miss Taulina Woltman, of New York, contralto, and Mr.

Mr. Patrick F. Reddington, who has a contract for sprinkling and sweeping the streets and is in possession of the sprinklers that are at present much in demand by the city to abate the dust nuisance, took a few stfbts at Street Cleaning Comisslon-er Wickes when seen ty a reporter of The Sex yesterday afternoon at his home, 1344 Alsquith street. Mr. Reddington declares that he does not know anything about the removal of wheels from one of the sprinklers last week, as published in The Sus resterday, but that he did ktsow they must fcave been replaced before Saturday night, lor they were out at that time sprinkling Jhe usual routes.

In giving his side of the controversy Mr. Reddington said "When I entered the office of Mr. Wlckes in the City Hall last Wednesday morning he came up to me and said 'I am going to send up to 1601 East Lafayette avenue and get those 'Mr. Wlckes, you have not got my permission yet, I replied. He laughed and said: 'I don't need your permission, and I have not asked for it yet.

They are the city's, and I will send up and do what I please with them. 'Mr. Wickes, I want to remind you that I have to keep those sprinklers in repair, I protested. 'That makes no difference, ne isam, am going to send up and get them anyhow, and I will see that you have them in good repair before I take them out. Stood Ort His Legal Rights.

"Seeing that he was determined, I said 'You can do so at your peril, and I shall avail myself of every legal right in the premises I then walked out of his office. "I would like The Sex. to say for me that if Mr.Wickes had made any request of me about the sprinklers In a proper manner he could have gotten them without any trouble. If the Mayor wants them he can send for them and take them. "According to my contract with the city I am compelled to keep the sprinklers in repair, and that is very expensive.

Mr. Wickes wanted to take them away from me, and still I was to be responsible to the city for all the repairs that would become necessary until the end of my lease, which expires on June 1." Has Poor Opinion Of Mr. Wickes. press his opinion of Mr. Wlckes as Street Cleaning Commissioner, and asserted that the official criticised was a very expensive person to the municipality.

"Since he has been in office," 6aid Mr. Reddington, "a large number of the streets In this have not been cleaned from the first part of last September until within the last two weeks, and even then only a few of them have been swept more than once. He does not know a well-swept street when he sees one, and as he rides madly through the city in his carriage inspecting the streets nine chances out of ten he will cut out the best-swept street and say that the work there is not properly done, while one that is poorly swept will meet his approval. "Cleaning streets is not his Mr. Reddington continued.

"He is an engineer and he would much prefer to, be down in the burnt district showing the public what an engineer he is by the build-ine of tilatforms for the dunmlnz of the debris. When his forces should have been scattered throughout the city cleaning the streets he had them down in the burnt district with him building the platforms, and it was not until the latter part of March that he put them back cleaning the streets. "During the entire winter he had them removing ashes and garbage from alleys which shouM have been moved by the san itary company mat nas tne contract. Pronounces Staff Conpetent. "He has a most competent staff under him, but its hands are just simply tied by him, and its members are afraid to make any suggestion.

An engineer Is not what the city wants. It wants a practical man who knows how to do practical work and how to manage men. Just as soon as the fcity secures the service of such a man we will have our' streets cleaned and kept In proper condition. "If Mr. Wlckes is such a man I defy him to bring forth any witnesses to bear him out in his statements.

He tells us that he did some of that kind of work down la Panama for two years, but that is too far away. Let him bring somebody nearer to this city. Says Horses Are Kept Idle. "I am compelled to keep about SO head horses to do the work of the city, but they have done very little under Mr. Wickes, since he has practically paid no attention to the cleaning of streets.

Thus I have lost money, and therefore I did not feel disposed to stand for the repairing of the sprinklers while they were being used by the city." WILL MEET TONIGHT Committee To Hear Arguments On Baltimore Street Plan. The City Council Committee on Highways will meet at 8 o'clock tonight to hear arguments on the question of widening Baltimore street six feet one inch on each side. Two hours will be given to those opposing the ordinance and a half hour for rebuttal to those avoring it. Tomorrow afternoon the committee will meet and consider Its report, which, it is expected, will be presented to the City Council tomorrow evening. Mr.

Mendes Cohen sends the following letter to The Sex Messrs. Editors: Having been prevented by Illness during the past week from expressing my views la regard to the reopening of thet question of widening Baltimore street, I desire now to express the hope that the City Council will leave the matter where their former action left it with the street undisturbed. I strongly opposed the widening undir the proposition to take the amount from one side of the street, and have said that if it were divided equally between both sides I would not oppose it, although I still thought it unnecessary. I now think that the time has passed for this. The matter was settled, is settled, let It stay settled The street is wide enough for its busi ness.

Obstructions to traffic upon It were always within the control of proper police. April 24, 1904. Mendes Cohex. WAGNER AT ST. MAEY'S atr.

Walter C. Armncart Det-otea Recital To Composer. The Wagner recital given yesterdny afternoon at St. Mary's Trotestant Episcopal Church, Roland avenue, by Walter C. Armacost.

organist in charge, attracted a laree number of music lovers. Bpc-iusa nt tDe interest being evinced in the playing of the prelude to this opera by Mr. Armncost was, one of the features of the program. He gave it with deep religious fervor, bringing out its beautiful harmonies. The "Kvenlng song and the march from "Tnnnhauser" were splendidly interpreted.

Other numbers were the Introduction, to the third act of "Lohengrin," the bridal chorus from "Lohengrin," by the mixed -vestal choir of St. "-j's. 1 rvfa "Love fir-V man, 720 Vine street, and William Hagan, 704 Sarah Ann street. In the case- of Byrne, as in that of Davis, the officers had failed to procure evidence of the law having been violated. All of those found in the place denied having purchased "anything to drink" after midnight and the proprietor was consequently dismissed.

SAYS HE HAD BEER Bnt Witness Tries Lieut. Carter's Powers Of Cross-Examination. When the witnesses in the case of George Moseley, of 1101 Woodyear street, who was locked up at the Northwestern Police Station yesterday afternoon on the charge of selling liquor on Sunday, were lined up before Lieutenant Carter yesterday afternoon, the Lieutenant showed ability as a cross-examiner which brought whispered admiration from the lips of all who stood about, save the witnesses. Without impugning the veracity of any gentleman, the police do not hesitate to say that witnesses taken in saloon raids frequently forget what they did or might have done while In the saloon if given time, and sometimes become very positive on points on which they would be very shaky If questioned immediately after the raid. Four witnesses were taken in this case Messrs.

Charles Stlnner, of 1604 Bernes street John Stlnner, of 1101 North Calhoun street; Henry Jacobs, of 1512 Baker street, and Henry C. Bonhage, of 2700 Frlsby street and the Lieutenant, evidently in pursuance of this line of thought, began to question the men as soon as they were lined up before him. The Messrs. Stlnner both declared that they had gone to see Mr. Moseley on a matter of business not to drink.

Mr. Bonhage Is a tailor, and he had gone to see how Mr. Moseley's manly form looked in a suit of clothes which had recently been sent home. Mr. Jacobs had gone there to get his dinner.

The Lieutenant knows Mr. Jacobs, knows that he has a family which lives not five minutes' walk from the saloon and that that family Is in the habit of having dinners which would satisfy the appetite of any man. He smiled-as the other witnesses told their stories. His face grew grave as Mr. Jacobs told his.

The Lieutenant reminded him of the proximity of his home and of the dinners put up there. "I've been taking my meals at the place since they've been cleaning at my home," said Mr. Jacobs. "Did you have anything to drink with the meal?" the Lieutenant asked. Mr.

Jacobs grew nervous and talked about the weather. "Did you have any thing to drink?" asked the Lieutenants- Mr. Jacobs said he had paid 10 cents for his meal he always did. "Did you have anything to drink?" repeated the Lieutenant. Mr.

Jacobs' hearing grew bad. "Did you have anything to drink?" asked the Lieutenant. Mr. Jacobs' eyes wandered around in a circle and refused to meet those of the Lieutenant. "Did you have anything to drink There had been no excitement, no irritation, no haste in the Lieutenant's manner, as he kept his eyes on his man and' repeated the question.

Finding further evasion hopeless Mr. Jacobs admitted that he had had good, real, lager beer to drink, although where it had come from and( how it had gotten to his plate he did not know. "We won't ask you to tell that," said the Lieutenant, quietly, as he told the officers that Mr. Moseley was not among those who had fortified himself against such emergencies with a hotel license. Then he permitted the witnesses to go home Instead of locking them up, as he had at first talked of doing just because they had been such good boys.
