All Well Attended—Continued Interest in ‘Dr. Hammond's Services. Religions meetings were held last night in many sections of the city and all were well at- tended. The usual large audience greeted Dr. Hammond at the Tabernacle, and there was a good attendance at the Central Union Mission, where the work of reclaiming the downfallen and backsliders has been successfully carried on for a number of years, At the Salvation Army barracks it was sol- diers’ night, so a reporter was told. The doors were all locked and outsiders were not admitted. When a reporter knocked for admission a young man wearing the letter “S” on his coat re- sponded and gave the information, “This is « soldiers’ meeting, you can’t come in.” ‘What do you mean by soldiers’ meeting’ don't let nobody in except soldiers.” “What's that for?” ny backsliders when the “To wee if there’ roll is called.” Just then somebody inside rapped for order and the soldiers went in singing, “When the General Koll is Called, I'l Be There. AT DR. HAMMOND'S MEETING. Dr. Hammond was a little late last night, the first time since he has been here, and when he reached the church he seemed surprised that those present were not engaging in a service of song. After prayer by two visiting ministers byiim 144 was announced and Dr. Hammond Tepeated the words of the first verse: In tiie one Bow wenine ear ‘in Jews’ naive we Pray? “For Jesus’ sake,’ i hou dids't forgive, For Jesus’ sake, ‘Thou bade t us iyo ‘On that turice blessed day.” mereiful to me a sinner for Christ's wangelist, “is the only prayer of the sinner,” and then’ an illustration was given of a tramp, who, begging for a few pen- nies, is given £500, and he is so overjoyed that he doesn't know what to do and can hardly realize that the wealth is his. “Just so with the sinner who finds Chri said Dr. Hammond, “the chunge is so great and his life is made ‘so happy that sometimes he can hardly realize for the moment what has taken place.” mmond again spoke of the newspapers, ying that the daily press was am through which many persons were converted. “Why, the last member of our family, who was not a Christian, was converted through the newspapers. He read of the glorious work be- ing done in afar off city, and it moved his heart so that he arose in & meeting in a country place and said ‘pray for me.’ ‘Our prayer is ior our people, Lord,” was the first line of the last verse and the collection followed. “When people pray in earnest they always do what they can to answer their own praycr, as prayer without work availeth nothing. Oh, yes,” interrupted Dr. Hammond, “fiity-nine persons saved at a single meeting.” WHAT PASTOR JONES Says. Pastor Jones of the Tabernacle said he was glad to hear such a good report and he hoped the good work would continue. He felt as though Dr. Hammond ought to have gone to Plymouth Church, but he was also glad to see him back at the Tabernacle. The meetings, he said, were growing in interest, although a little wet weather keeps many people at home. “A great many Christians,” he said, ‘will get into heaven, but they won't take ‘anybody with them.” Dr. Power then told of the afternoon meet- ing at Plymouth Church, where, he said, there were fifty-nine conversions. “tt was a glorious mecting, and I hope you will ali pray that every one buys an umbrella tomorrow," added Dr.Hammond, “for that's all they need to come to church.” Hymn 133 was then given out. It was writ- ten in Palestine by Dr. Hammond, and it 1s one of the hymns that he thinks is enough to con- vertany sinner. The first verse is: e'er forget tere 1 sew te bloody Gweat In dark Getheenane." wo THE PRISONER AND THE GOVERNOR. In connection with this hymn the evangelist said: “In the prison of Harrisburg Gov. Pollock | found a man condemned to be executed for | murder. He entered his cell and prayed with him. Wher the prisoner learned, after the governor had le:t, whe had been by his side he cried ou. in great distress: ‘Why did you not | tell mei. was the goverior? He could hay pardon d me, but now he'sgone. I shall never sec his .a.> agaia and now I must die. His pardon would have saved me. “And that’s the way,” said Dr. Hammond, you sinners will be asking for pardon. “Why not aak it now before it is too te?” The meeting was then turned into one of raise and fully two hundred persons arose and ginning with “I thank the Lord,” told of what they had to be thankful for. MAPFINESS EVEN AT THE STATION. Atall the meetings everybody seemed to be happy and even the prisoners about whom some of the religious people had been talking were happy, for when Tom O"Day, the colored driver of the first precinct patrol wagon, was walking through the corridors of the cell room last night watering the prisoners they all seemed as happy though they were ont in the free air, and as he passed one of the cells the occupant sang the words of that familiar hymn, “The Lord Will Provide.” Just before, when a Sta reporter called at the station, the six or eight prisoners were indulging in a semi-religious exercise. One would sing a verse of a hymn and then the others would join in the chorus. ‘Thus the exercises were kept up until all hands were tired and then the weary heads were laid upon the iron benches, wheré they rested until morning, only interrupted now and then by the arrival of new recruits, a ‘The M. C. A. Athletes. The athletes of the Y. M. C. A. entertained o gymnasium full of their friends last night by an interesting program of skillful performances in various lines of exercise. The guests crowded upon the floor of the gymnasium until the per- formers had little space in which to do their | acts. ‘The events and participants were as fol- lows: Paraliel bars—J. W. Sims, E. H.

A Lincotnian Story Mustration. To the Editor of The Evening Star: While President of the United States and about three months previous to his death President Lincoln was visited by Col. Scott of Kentucky and Marshal Lamon, accompanied by Robert W. Fenwick of the firm of Mason, Fenwick & Lawrence, attorneys for Col. Scott. On this oceasion Cul. Scott carried with him s fine specimen of breech-loading gun of which he was the inventorand patentee. The trio on entering the door of the private office of Mr. Lincoln at the White House were ad- dressed by the President from his seat with a hearty welcome and one of them with the words: ‘Hello! Scott; how are you? What have you got there?” Scott replied: “That patent gun I was talk- ing to vou about some time age.” Vell” said Lincoln with a twinkle in his eye, “I should think you would be ashamed of yurself—a full-blooded Kentuckian trying to t a Yankee.” Scott was mum, and thereupon Mr. Lincoln handled the beautiful piece very skilifully and interestedly, acting as though he mised an important attachment, and he inquired of Col. Scott: “Where is that shoulder strap which enables you touse the gun in one hand as a horse pistol?” Scott , “Idid not bring that along, but it can be readily attached when the gun is in use.” ‘Thé President jocosely pointed the gun at us, and swinging it nround laughed and ook out there, I dio a good doal of shooting around here (seemingly taking in the war going on), but don't know whether I hurt anybody.” Still handling the gun with interest, the President asked Col. Scott what he thought the govern- ment would do with it if it was adopted, and quickly followed this question with the remark: Well, I guess it will be with you as it was with the Irishman and bis sheep’ Then Mr. Lincoln told a story which ran thus: An Irish- man bad a sheep's head and was dressing it for his dinner. At a moment when he was not looking a fellow slipped around the corner and captured the prize, and the Irishman seeing him disappear with his sheep's head cried out: “‘Niver moind, #t will do ye no good; I have recate for cooking it.” This was rather a Pointed story for the company. The President kindly promised that he would go out shortly with Col. Scott to test the merits of the gun, and we parted from this grand noble man, feeling that he had a kind, friend); heart, and that his soul was weighed down with aaxiety as to the results of the mighty con- flict then going on between the north and south. Alas, he never lived to try the gun, for shortly after be was taken from’ us, loved and mourned by the whole country, nay the world. Col. Scott, we were informed, got an order for 5,000 guns, but what the soldiers did with them is not known. Nevertheless it was a good and conver firearm, and the striking feature about it, in President's Lincoln's mind, seemed to be that it was self-loading and could be car- ried and fired with one hand while on horse- back. Col. Scott and Marshal Lamon were very close friends of Mr. Lincoln before he be- came President, and hence the great familiarity between the parties on this occasion. eros THE FISHING SEASON, AFew More Days of Wann Weather Will Cause It to Open in Earnest.

The woman who was arrested in New York the other day for shoplifting and who said that she was Mrs. Mary Johnson of this city has ad- mitted that she was not Mrs. Mary Johnson at all, but had simply assumed that name. She was released yesterday on €300 bail. She re- fused to give her name to any one but her law- yer, Louis Allen, and he furnished the bonds- man. Mrs. Johnson has spent two nights in jail, She is evidently a woman of intelligence. When arrested she wore a handsome sealskin coat and had diamonds in her ears. There were checks for $300 in her pocket book and $98 in vaoney. Mrs. Johnson's real name was on her pare from New York to Albany, but before any one could read the name she destroyed the pass. terday she told Louis Allen her name and history. She is the widow of a man who was at one rell_known in Washington and since his death she has been living here most of ch time. She has plenty of money and says she does not know why she stole the stockings. Mrs. Johnson weut to New York on Saturday to Visit her son, who is employed in a large corpo- ration there. “He does not yet know’ that his mother was arrested for ‘shoplifting. Mrs. Jonson told Mr. Allen that the was willing to make any sacrifice rathor than have her son or her friends know of her dixgrace. For that reason she refused to send for any of her friends here to give bail for her. ‘The case will come up in a few days in special se:sions. calor ‘The Iowa Republicans. A well attended meeting of the Iowa Repub- lican Association was held last night at G. A. R. Hall. After the business meeting was over the company was entertained by the following musical and literary program; Piano solo, by Mr. J. M. Reiman; recitation, by Miss Lulu Ingledue: piano solo, by Miss Flora MeCreery: orginal paper, by Mr. J. L. MeCreery. ‘The | following were appointed a permanent commit- tee on entertainment: J. P.

Bevans, treasurer; J. D. Raeburn, financial secretary, and G. A. Garner, recording secre- tary. The board of directors are composed of the following: Messrs.

The event commemorated is the delivery of the Jews through the intervention of Esther. _———- Another Motive Power. ‘The Hydro-Pneumatic Car Company of this city is building a car which will soon be tested on the Metropolitan railroad. ‘The apparatus for applying the power is said to be very simple, and it is claimed can be operated by u cardriver on any ordinary street car. ‘The cost < each car is estimated $1.50 for a a run and the expense of the for ve. cars, it is 4 ‘ment is full of human nature and human company that presented the bangh’s formance was aries ded; an ‘were surroun y terial, ‘The singing was excellent and ‘were frequent. ‘The dance in the last act was very funny, and, in fact, the whole piece fur- nishes @ most enjoyable evening's entertain- ‘ment. tonight. New Nationa, TwraTer.—Gillette’s new play, “Mr. Wilkinson's Widows,” made an in- stantaneous success at the New National ‘Theater last night. There were none of the hitches that frequently mara first performance, but everything went as smoothly as though the piece hnd been played'a hundred nights. The complications arising from the of one Wilkinson, deceased, who had married two women and had arranged the records so that it would appear that they had been mar- ried at exactly the same time, furnish the plot of the play. These widows both Inarried again, one becoming Mrs. Percival Perrin and the other Mrs. Henry F. Dickerson. Both these families live in the samo apartment house and the two ladies get buttercupped in the most laughabl> way. Maj. Mallory has a flirtation with Mrs. Dickerson and Mr. Perrin thinks it is his wife who has been wild and two households are nearly wrecked. The leading characters are all well drawn and even the minor parts are made to stand out well. The diuloguo is bright and crisp, full of Gillettian expressions, and all the eituations are of the most amusing character. The play was pre- sented with that completeness that character izes all of Mr. Chas. Frohman’s productions. ‘The company is an excellent one, including Mra. Dion, Boucicault (Louise ‘Ihorndyke), Henrietta Crossman, Maud White, Annie Wood, Lillian Leach, Messrs. Joseph Holland, Fred- erick Bond, Thos. Burns, Thos. Wise and John W. Thompsor. Acapeay or Musrc.—The last public re- hearsal this season of the Georgetown Ama- tour Orchestra will be given this evening at the Academy of Music. The orchestra will have the assistance of Miss Elizabeth Hamlin, soprano, of Boston; Miss Birdie Lucas, violi ist; Miss Anita Cluss, harpist, and the Wil- helmj Club, and the whole will be under the direction of Josef Kaspar. Haunis'.— ‘That highly sensational drama ¢n- titled “The Scout's Daughter,”opened a week's engagement at the Bijou last_ might before a good andience. The action of the plav is 4aid in California and Montana, and the scener; not only new, but exact reproductions of well- known places in the two states. The star of the play is Miss Pauline Parker, a dashing comedienne. During the performance she in- troduces some catchy songs and dances, all of which were given in good style. ‘The Richards brothers furnished the comedy for the play and gave a black-fuce specialty of considerable Mnerit. The supporting company is good. Agi tonight. RNAN'S.—Another first-class variety show the boards at Kernan’s this week. It is the Vaidis Sisters’ Refineé European Vaudevilles. Petrie and Elsie in a sketch called “In Passing the Toil Gate;” Fred Albert, the great charac- ter comedian; Donovan aud Albright, Blanche Boyer, a great transformation dancer; the Braatz brethers, premier acrobats; Eddie Gi- guere, a whole quartet in himself; Maritious and Delavoyeand Sam Dearin were all happy in their respective acts. ‘The Vaidis sisters, of course, are good. Although seen here before, many of their acts are new and startling. But the ‘real feature of the show is the sparring. Billy Wood, the young heavyweight and the sparring partner of Bob Fitzsimmons, appears at each performance to meet all comers. Otto C. Floto, the well-known manager of cham- pions, is with him and offers $50 to any man who stays with Wood for four rounds and $100 tqany man who knocks him out. Several local heavy weights are going in for the prize during ‘the week and some rattling bouts are expected. Again tonight. Mn.
