The ay was Tom Taylor's ““Twixt Axe and Crown,” and as was to have been expected the role of the subtle and virile Elizabeth proved a severe tax on the delicate physique and moderate expressional powers of the beautiful actress, But while Mrs. Potter in- vested none of the great scenes with the fall measures of power and passion they called for, she still played most ofthem with an amount of discretion, dignity and sélf-command that made them respectable and won the kindly sympathy of the audience by the earnestness of her efforts. Mrs. Potter continues ‘to give way at times to a marked inclination to strut, and her declamation is frequently “stagy.” Mr. Bellew has rather too slight a personality to fill out the role of Cowrtenay, although he makes it a fairly pleasing impersonation. Miss Lizzie Hudson was natural and graceful as Isaiel, Harry Edwards’ Gardiner created a good impression, and Mr. Robertson’s Renard was very mephistophelian. The performance, taken altogether, was a very interesting one, and Mrs. Potter and leading members of the company were repeatedly recalled. This even- ing “She Stoops to Conquer” will be given. NationaL Turaten.—The ‘Parlor Match’ seems to hold its popniarity better than any other of Hoyt’s pieces, and this is. no doubt, largely due to the unmistakable comic powers of Evans and Hoey, who have appeared ia the leading parts for several seasons. Whatever the cause, certain it is that the Natioual thea- ter was packed to the doors when the “Match” exploded last night, and no audience that has been in the house ina long time seemed more thoroughly to enjoy itself, The two comedians still do their work with all the old-time spirit and energy, making the familiar “gags” go as if they had never been seen or heard before, and keeping the house in an almost constant uproar. Some new songs and dances have been introduced, but the main features of the farce are the same as heretofore. The ‘Parlor Match” will make the usual week’s stay at the National, with matinees to-morrow and Satur- ¥. Harris’ Brsov Taeater.—The popular actor, N. 8. Wood, with a strong company, appeared at this house last mght in “The Waifs of New York.” The of Gertie, a waif, was admi- rably taken by little Emma Cook. who is not yet seven years of age. The parts taken by George W. Thompson, Nellie Maskell, Neil Florence, and Miss Lottie Williams were also intelligently rendered. Tue Caonat Society Coxcert.—The program for the opening concert of the Choral society's season at Congregational church Wednesday evening is an attractive one. It includes Cowen's “Song of Thai com} a for the opening of the Melbourne exposition, and Mozart's “Possenti Numi,” from the “Magic Flute,” the English words of which were written by Dr. Holmes. These will be sung by Mr. Babcock, the bass soloist, and the male voices, Wagner's beautiful spi chorous from “The Flying Dutchman” will be rendered by the female voices, and Stewart's “Bells of St. Michael's Tower” will be given by the grand chorus. Mr. Babcock, whose voice is declared to be equal to any now known to the American stage, will give several solo num- bers, including Benedict's “Rise! Sleep no more,” Mendelssohn's “I'm a Roamer,” and Mackenzie’s ‘Three Merry Dwarfs.” Mr. Borier’s Oncan Recitat.—On Monday evening next Mr. Jarvis Butler will give an organ recital at Congregational church, as- sisted by Mrs. Mattie Muller and Mr. Charles Harding, of Baltimore.

Some Amusing Proceedings in the Suit Against Rabbi Bernstein. Yesterday afternoon, after Tne Stan's report closed in the suit of Nathan Horn, the F-street tailor, against Rabbi Bernstein, of the Adas Israel congregation, George Sieman, one of the principals in the love affair, was called asa witness. He said he was forty-eight years of “Tell how you became an actor in this affair,” said Lawyer O'Neill, ‘and where you first: became acquainted with Miss Mali Bern- stein.” “We first met on 7th street,” answered Sie- man, “but Horn had spoken to me before about fs the lady.” Witness said that after his it visits to the rabbi’s house, and the was sup- posed to be off, he called on the rabbi and asked for a settlement. The rabbi told him that Horn wanted $50 from him for his trouble. “Had {3 then paid the #500?” asked counsel. “Thad,” he answered. When Lawyer Miller started to cross-examine Sieman he declined to answer, because, he id, he had told all he knew. rge Preston, a colored barber in the pension office, was the last witness called for plaintiff. He was called to testify to the con- versation between the rabbi and Horn in the latter's shop on F street. He testified that one day, while in the shop, a man whom he recog- nized as the rabbi came in ane said something to Horn about getting “the old soldier to pa} $500 for your trouble.” The rabbi, he sai [ad his word of honor. Hethought he meant y that that he was a member of some secret organization. RABBI BERNSTEIN WAS THEN SWORN in his own behalf. He denied that he had ever made any agreement to pay Horn $50. “A minister cannot make such a bargain in the first place,” said the rabbi. “Only a tailor can make such a bargain.” Witness denied that he had ever made Horn a promise of any kind. Witness said that after the engagement was broken off Mr. O'Neill called at house to seffect a settlement, “Tell the truth,” interrupted Lawyer O'Neill. “T never was at your house.” ‘The rabbi then said the man who called was Mr. Pierce Bell. Witness, ‘continuing, said that he was never to give Horn $50 for getting the $500. Horn said to him that if he did not get the money that he (Horn) would blackmail ‘im. Sieman told witness that he was a jew- elry man, worth $5,000. Sieman, he said, gave the money to his daughter. Mali got the license aid for it. “No, sir.” interrupted Sieman, “You did it ourself.” id you ever do anything to prevent the 2" asked Lawyer O'Neill. No, sir,” answered the rabbi. “I was per- fectly satisfied. The wedding was set for | so tember 30th, but Sieman backed out.” - “My Lord, I am sick,” said Sieman, as he started to leave the justice’s court, but the jus- tice called him back and compelled him to re- main, ‘ MISS BERNSTEIN ON THE STAND. Miss Mali Bernstein was next called. She testified that she knew Horn slightly. He had called at her house and asked her for money. He did not mention any amount. He said he wanted the money for the time which he had lost running around, and threatened to black- mail her if he did not get it. Witness said the money was spoken of just eight days before the wedding was to take place, and an outsider was mentioned to hold it. “Who got the money?” asked counsel. “I took the money,” she answered. “T still have it, and it’s nobody's business what I have done with it.” HUGGING AND KISSING. “Did you ever say that $500 was little enough for hugging and kissing you?” asked Mr. O'Neill. “That's my business, and none of yours,” she answered. Qo : she answered, “No, sir; but lam not looking for a second- hand man. Iam engaged at present, but not to that man.” Witness said that when Horn left the house he threatened to biackmail her and the whole family. “Did you know about the getting out of the license?” “Icertainly did, and it was procured with my whole heart and consent.” Several members of the congregation were called as witnesses, but the justice said that their testimony did not amount to anything. Counsel then submitted the case without argument, and the justice gave judgment tor pec for the amount asked, $50 andcosts, . Miller, for the rabbi, noted an appeal. ——— Attempted Suicide of a Young Man. ROBERT CAVANAUGH TAKES A DEADLY DOSE OF CHLOROFORM—A PHYSICIAN RELIEVES HIM. Robert Cavanaugh, a young man living at No, 418 M street northwest, attempted suicide Sunday morning by drinking chloroform. He isemployed at the Portland stables on New York avenué near 7th street. For several montps past he has been doctoring some of the horses in addition to his other duties, and has fre- quently purchased drugs for the animals at a neighboring pharmacy. Sunday morning shortly after 10 o'clock he entered the drug store and asked for 10 cents worth of chloro- form. The druggist put the liquid in the bottle and then the young man asked for a cigar, which he lighted. en he conversed with the druggist some minutes and wanted to know how much of the liquid would make ‘ood dose for an animal. The druggist he ited a moment and Cavanaugh asked what would be a dose for a man, remarking that twice the quantity for a man would make a dose for a horse. After awhile the druggist sus- pected Cavanaugh and remarked: “1 don't see why a man should ever take his own life. It’s such a babyish act.” Well,” said Cavanaugh, “‘some people have ‘eat deal of trouble.” he druggist persisted in urging his view of self-murder, thinking that if his ‘suspicions were well-founded the young man might change his mind. ‘‘Well,” said Cavanaugh as he left the store, ‘fourteen drops would kill a person.” Just then a customer came in the store, and when the Seep had finished wait- ing on the latest arrival, Cavanaugh was out of sight. The druggist felt uneasy about the young man und went around to the stable to inquire for him. He was not at the stable when the Gay poe asked for him, nor was there any sick horse there. Satistied then that Cavanaugh had bought the chloroform for himself, the druggist returned to his store, He thought that Cavanangh lived at the stable, and for that reason he made no further effort to find the young man, but it was not long be- fore he learned that Cavanaugh had taken the chloroform and was ill. After making the purchase the would-be sui- cide went to his parents’ house and, going to his room, took a dose from the bottle. A few minutes later his mother vistted his room and discovered his condition. Dr. Naylor's buggy was near the house at the time and the doctor arrived just in time to save the unfortunate young man’s life. An emetic of salt and water ‘was used, which caused him to vomit the puisun, and under the doctor's treatment the paticut got better and will probably recover. AG. A. R. Exection.—James A.
