ALBavau’s Opera Hovse.—There have beena few changes in the cast of “A Midsummer Night's Dream” since it was seen in this city earlier in the season. Miss Ada Somers is now Titania instead of Lillie Post, and Louise Searle appears as the Singing Fairy and renders the rusic very well. Mr. J. W. Albaugh, jr., is now the ius, and while, oper he shows at times a slight diffidence, he reads in- telligently, has a voice and presence and acquits himself with credit in the part. Miss Seligman and Miss Alvord remain as Hermia and Helena and Miss Hattie Harvey continues as the sprightly and mischievous Puck. The rich and elaborate scenery of the © worked very well last night, and ‘the incidental music, both vocal and instrument was rendered with spirit and beauty. This production of Shak "8 poetic extravaganza is one of decided merit, and it is probable many years will elapse before its equal in scenic effects, dramatic strength or musical features will be witnessed in Washington. Hanais’ Buov Turater.—Mr. Gus Williams, in_the title role of his new comedy-drama, “Keppler’s Fo! ” caused no end of laugh- ter at house last night, where he appeared before a large audience.

Kennan’s TEn.—The bill offered b; Harry Williams’ Specialty Co. at Kernan’s this week is_an entertaining one. Bobby Gaylor, Lizzie Dailey, St. Clair and Leslie, le and Volto, and Charles and Lillian Merritt, in their remarkable act, are especially good. There are matinees at Kernan’s Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

A-special cable dispatch to the Philadelphia Press, from John M. Ward, dated Auckland, N. Z., December 10, says in regard to his future engagements: cannot say positively what answer I shall make to Washington's offer for jirits and en- ing there a ram after lewitt, of the Washington club, said to-day that he had re- ceived no message from Ward. and that he did not expect to hear definitely from him until =. February, as his communication to ‘ard, making him the offer of the manager- ship and captaincy of the Washington team, was by mail, and he, therefore, did not ex; a cable from him in reply. ae aK } z f | §) ie A CENTENNIAL MEDAL. The Alumni of Georgetown Adopt a Commemmorative Design. Next February there will be celebrated the Georgetown college. Before the present city of Washington was known and when the little port of Georgetown was the one settlement of ful site where the college now stands and built there the first house for the reception of stu- dents. This was in 1789, and during the hun- dred years that have elapsed the old original building has, from time to time, seen more pretentious additions rise above it until the cro jlory of to-day—the magnificent stone with its towers and cam) entombs it like a relic in the court of the the Some months , when the Society of Alumni was consi the for the centennial celebration, it was that a medal be struck commemorative eae easy task, h sient labors 2 od , but after muc! nt agree q a fgg, “bose is believed will prove sat- Sahestery. e old seal of the college with its le “Ad ripas Potomaci in Marylandia” was a t, but Maryland has long since her title to the territory where the college stands, and the motto of to-day re- at- | quired another all ce The alumni m finally evolved may be de- as follows: The face is significant with the college arms—an eagle with outstretched wings, one foot resting on @ mathematical globe and the talons of the other grasping the cross, From his flutters the motto “utraque unum,” and above his head, sur- rounded with rays and stars, is Apollo's harp. The cross and globe typify religion and science; the a Leger Surrounding the rim is the inscription, *‘ oe Georgropolitanum— an—! ‘LXXXVIIII—incohatum.” THE REVERSE shows a double wreath, one-half composed of oak leaves and one-half of laurel, the branches crossed at the bottom and tied. The oak is emblematic of stren; and civic virtue, the laurel of fame, and the binding together sym- bolizes the unity of the two. Running trans- versely, and filling the center space, is the following legend: “Sodales Alumni Almm Matres Seeci Festa primum dedicant MDCCCVIIII.” ; The selection and arrangement of the inscrip- tions required the greatest care and discretion, so that they should be in thorough keeping with the commemorative object for which the medal was designed, and the legend is mainly due to one of the Italian fathers at the colle whose reputation as a classicist is world-wide. The design, it will be observed, is severely classical, and in accord with Roman numis- matics of the Augustan era. It will be, of course, circular in form, an inch and five- eighths in diameter,and will be struck in bronze. It is to be worn by the alumni during the cen- tennial exercises, and will be suspended from a ribbon of blue and [eae college colors. The respective schools of the university—arts | and sciences, law, medicine, &c.—will be des- ignated in gilt letters, worked diagonally across the ribbon. The design is the work of Wm. F. Quicksall, an alumnus now residing in Wash- College | The ington, and the drawings have been sent to Philadelphia, where the medal will be struck. ~ Heo ees Says Richards was Not Insane. A WIFE'S ANSWER TO A CURIOUS SUIT. Yesterday morning in the case of Mr. A. K. Browne, committee of Albert J. Richards Qunatic), against Lulu C. Richards for annul- ment of marriage, the respondent filed answer | by her counsel, T. H. Hildebrand. It is alleged in the bill that Richards was insane, and _ that fraud was racticed in inducing the marriage. in her answer she denies on information that | Richards was committed to the asylum on May 20, 1887, and asserts that at the time of marriage, and for a long period before and after, Richards | was apparently of sound mind, and competent toenter into a marriage or other contract. As to the charges of fraud in the bill she says they are cruel and false. She prays that the bill may be dismissed with costs, The Reign of Peace. THE CALL FOR AN ARBITRATION CONVENTION TO BE HELD IN THIS CITY, The World's arbitration league has issued a call for a convention to be held here September 1, 1889, for the purpose of formulating meas- ures leading to the establishment of all needed reforms that will hasten universal peace and harmony. The call says: “This conference is preliminary and prepa- ratory to the approaching culmination of the aims and efforts of the world’s arbitration leagues and peace societies, by the true means of educating every nation to ‘the self-evident fact that an enormous benefit tomankind would ensue by the beginning of a common and grad- ual disarmament in 1892, when a great convo- cation of the world’s philanthropista shall as- semble at Washington on the anniversary of the discovery of America, and thus not only aid in the establishment of arbitration to settle differences between men and nations, but, it is believed, will eventually result in bringing to every nation all other great meas- ures necessary to inaugurate the reign of uni- ers justice and finally of universal brother- ran a ! The Railway Mail Service. | THE ORDER EXTENDING CIVIL SERVICE RULES LONG CONTEMPLATED BY THE PRESIDENT. The order made by the President applying the civil service rules to the railway mail service brings between 5,000 und 6,000 employes of the Government under the protection of the civil service laws. There has been some remark upon ite being made at ths time, political oppo- nents of the administration alleging that The President has done it to prevent the new ad- ministration from making a ‘clean sweep.” As a matter of fact the action now taken the President has been in contempla- tion for several months. The civil service commissioners last summer ed the action now taken, as wi tated in Tur Stax, and the proposal received the approval of the President. On the 5th inst, the President wrote to the commission that in his opinion the efficiency of the public service rendered it moony, te in- clude in the classified service and subject to examination the employes of the railway mail service, and st that after conference with the Postmastei oeoenasind ae = mission pare necessary m« ations of e present pach and regulations to meet the proposed ex- tension. The feces fey! service will be added as a fourth branch of the civil service. As it has been deemed im; icable to maintain the ap- portionment fo! ed in making departmental appointments a separate register of eligibles wali be kept for each of the ten divisions, and examinations will be held at the headquarters of each division.

The troubles which have manifested them- selves in the jockey club and the National Fair association were the primary caus es of a meet- ing which was held last night in the tea-room W. A. Fonwick, M. C. Barnard, Thos. W. Smith, F. M. Draney, John Kelly, F, P. McLean, H. 8. Owens, Chas. Childs, Wm. H. Blunt, R. E. Morris and Dr. McKenzie. Mr. L. G. Hine presided, and Mr. Hibbs was-secretary. It was really a meeting of the Highland club, but so many of the new members have been identified with the jockey club that it was a question as to which of the two had swallowed the other. the Lens tee that the amendments were not sufficiently liberal or explicit, 80 they were re- — to the jorersoniger wit ne that ey cl paragraphs and report them to the club at its meeting next Monday Mr. W. B. Hibbs resi d his position as sec- retary to the organization and nominated Mr. W. A. Fenwick as his successor. Mr. Fenwick was elected, and the meeting then adjourned. Members of the club are very emphatic in their declarations that rey Ga not endeavor- ing to antagonize any sit local organi: tion. They say there is plenty of room in this vicinity for more than one racing track, so they sie gd toaddtothe number. They are anx- ious, they say, to work in harmony with the authorities of the Ivy City track. The Highland club property consists at — ent of 65 acres of land, about 53¢ miles from the city, on the Washington branch of the Bal- timore and Ohio railroad. Here the club pur- poses laying outa mile track and erecting the ones & uildings. A fine club-house and a stable—the latter to accommodate 200 horses— are among the pais improvements. Ten- nis courts and a bicycle track have also been decided upon, and the club will make a vigor- ous effort to make its property the local Mecca of all lovers of athletic sporte.

A little eight-year-old living but a few miles from Boston came into the possession of a new hat, and was very proud of the acquisition, which she critically viewed, her smiles and heightened color proving the pleasures the hat gave her. Her father praised it, and asked the little one how she like it. “I think it's ‘out- rageout “What?” was the surprised par- ent’s ejaculation. ‘Do you mean that you dis- like it t declaring it to be ‘outrageous?”” “No, 1 guess I mean it’s gorgeous!” Raromarisu According to recent investigations is caused by excess of lactic acid in the blood. This acid attacks the fibrous tissues, particularly in the joints, and causes the local manifestations of the disease, pains and aches | in the back and shoulders, and in the joints at the knees, ankles, hips and wrist.
