THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, NEW YORK NOTES. Topics of the Times in the Big and An- cient City. OUTSIDERS WHO PASS THE HOLIDAYS IX THE (STI—SENATOR JONES, CARL SCHURZ AND DONN PIATI—THE NEW PLAYERS’ CLUB AND ITS OB- JEOTS—TEE BARRETT-ANDERSON WEDDING. Correspondence of Taz EVENING S42, New Yorx, Jan. 4. Lots of people from out of town come to New York to spend the holidays, and among them are men of distinction, who spend more or less of their time in Washington. Senator Jones, of Nevada, was among the visiting con- tingent during the holiday time just passed, and at the hotels where he made temporary headquarters he found many congenial spirits, to whom he related tale after tale of wild west- ern life that made the corridors re-echo with roars of laughter. Inever knew that Senator Jones, the political economist and financier, was such a yarn-spinnerin his recent years as New Yorkers have found him to be during the week. Atthe clubsand the favorite up- wn resorts for men-about-town the most | #! startling stories and witty Lén-mots that have Deen uttered this week have been attributed by their narrators to the Senator, and “another of those good stories of Senator Jones’” is sure to draw a crowd of eager listeners in any com- aay of gentlemen. An enterprising journal- ist whose rotund form has distinguished first nights for over a decade is said to be coliect- ing the Senator's anecdotes with the idea of publishing them in book-form for private cir- culation. Another man, once well-known by sight as well as reputation to every Washingtonian, was conspicuous figure on Broadway about the time of the holidays. This was Carl Schurz, and he has changed greatly. His step is no longer light and springy, and he looks any- thing but robust. His beard is worn much longer than before he went to Germany, and has turned from its former dark-red calor to a dingy-looking gray. I saw him feeling his way along the street one day last week with a cane, the exact antithesis of his old brusque, dashing style. as Another ex-Washingtonian, better known even than Carl Schurz, has also been here over Christmas and New Year. He stopped at the modest Oriental hotel, on Broadway, and regis- tered as “Donn Piatt, of Ohio.” He is the same indefatigable, cynical, but lovable man that he was years ago when he edited the Capital, but he is growing old, too, although his large frame looks able to battle for many years yet against senile decay. His beard is a shaggy, briery growth upon his gaunt face, and gives him a sort of uncanny aspect. If 1 am hot mistaken Donn Piatt is henceforth to become a New Yorker for good, and I under- stand he has carte blanche to run Belford's Magazine just as he pleases and do his work where he pleases. He can wield as caustic a pen as in days of yore, although now-a-days he doesn't find the incentive of former years to be “as bitter as he can. * ‘The new Players’ club was inaugurated New eve with greatceremony. I had a look +h its mansion on Gramercy Park in eom- pany with a member on Wednesday, and | “ learned a good deal of its methods and inten- tions. There is no doubt that the club will prove sa. There have been 00 applications for membership. and active roster is to be limited to 2 be not a little discrimi selecting the best material exclusively for players. ers, playwrights bat iy for membership include ““p: Actors will be given the preference, ho and after them men who have become disti guished in their respective professions, like Lawrence Hutton, Thomas Bailey Aldrich and General Sherman. Edwin Booth’s idea in founding the club is to boost the American actor up to a higher plane in the social, gentle- manly world, and to make this boost a’ sucess he demands that the American actor shall have the best men to associate with. The club is different from the club of ordinary conception, It is not to be a loafing place, for one thing. Neither is it to bea drinking ‘or eating place, nor yet a gaming place, library is the center of the club and the corner-stone on which it is founded. Booth’s generous gift of his own library gives the elub at once the most complete dramatic reference library in this country, and if, as is expected, Lawrence Hutton shail bequeath the club his own ex- cellent library, it will have the finest dramatic library in the world. Besides Booth’s library, ictures and collections relating to the stage, Jecaph Jelersom will give his lbrary and cot” lections, as well as some of his choicest paint- ings. Mr. Hutton has contributed his famous collection of death masks, among which is the so-called Shakespeare mask, and will give his marvelous collection of theatrical photographs and autographs. Among Booth's contribu- tions are a pair of gauntlets said to have been worn by Shakespeare. They are the loose. soft gloves affected during the Elizabethan period, rich in artistic needle- work, and are accompanied by historical and traditional data by which their connection with the fists of the bard of Avon and their adven- tures since are detailed s0 thoroughly as to convince the most skeptical Baconian heretic. ‘The club’s constitution and by-laws are drawn with wisdom and foresight, and at the same time with a simplicity that would shock the average lawyer. By the rules made to be ob- served it will be impossible to form cliques or cabals within the club, and impossible, too, to prostitute the club to the glory of any one man or concern. It is forbidden to give an enter- tainment of a formal nature to, or in honor of, anybody. ‘The club members may invite guests, and the club will be civil and polite to them, but it won't go any further. Foreign actors or non-members among American actors may be accorded the privilege of this club as of any other, bat the guest can’t boom himself or be boomed through the club.

Morier, the British ambassagor to Russia, has furnished to the press the cor- respondence that has passed between him and Count Herbert Bismarck in relation to the Cologne (azette’s charges that Morier furnished to Marshal Bazaine the first information of the crossing of the Moselle by the German army. On December 19 Sir R. D. Morier wrote to Count Herbert saying that he had heard in July that Count Herbert had mentioned to several persons Major Deine’s report, pub- lished in the Cologne Gazette, and continuing: “Idid not do your excellency the injustice you believed a story so palpably absurd, nor insult you by crediting you with a cynicism so abnormal as to suppose that a man who was honored with the friendship and confidence of the late Em- | the ror Frederick could have been so unutterably as to use that confidence and friendship to betray him and his army to an enemy.” He deemed it expedient to is to enquire as to the truth of the all yersation. In answer to his letter he received from Gen. Bazaine an emphatic denial.

The house in which the club Las settled was formerly owned and tenanted by Clarkson N. Potter and more recently by the Lorillards, and occupies one of the most de- sirable sites in the city. It is not large, al- though of good size, and the club's architect, Mr. Stanford White, has made it inside very beautiful and perfectly adapted to the needs and nature of the Players’ club. At the en- trance is a square hall which opens into recep- tion and cloak rooms. On this floor are also the offices of the club and a large billiard- Foom. Upon the second floor are the smoking, sitting and grill rooms, and several small read ug rooms containing newspapers, ines and novela Almost ‘the cutive third floor ia occupied by the library. There are here two large fire-proof safes to hold the precious relics donated by Mr. Booth and Mr. Hutton, and the shelves, tables and other fam:liar library accommodations are the most conven- ient and comfortable that can_be imagined. ‘The cost of the building and fittings to date has been something over $150,000, all of which has come out of the pockets of Edwin Booth, and is a gift from him to the club. An idea of the sams Booth has earned may be obtained when it is remembered that the failure of Booth’s theater left him a poor man, and yet since that time he has been able to make such fortune that he can give away over $150,000 and still have enough left to Leep wolf inwe. * ae Mr. Booth went to Boston yesterday to be ‘Present’at the cermony uniting Lawrence Bar- rett's daughter in marriage to Mr. Joseph An- derson, the awkward-appearing brother of Mary Anderson.
