This is true, however, of every character that Bern- hardt assumes. Her genius illuminates every art and overshadows every other actress who attempted it. Her versatility is marvelous, embracing every phase of histrionic art. She runs the whole gamut of human emotions and in each she makes one forget that she is the actress and appears to really feel the passions she portrays and live in the scones and in dents of the play. In Leah Bernhardt has a character which affords an excellent opport nity for some of her best work. ‘The character ig so widely different from the most of those in which she has been seen that many whohad raved over her La Tosca, Cleopatra, Theodora and Marie Gauthier wore wholly unprepared for the marvellous impersonation that she gave of thi betrayed and persecuted maiden, hounded on aceount of religions prejudice and hungry for jove and human sympathy, In her tenderness she was wonderfally womanly, and in the curse she rose to « terrible grandeur that wrought the audience up to the highest pitch of intense interest. ‘The applause that fol- lowed was but a just tribute to the actress’ genius. Mme. Bernhardt repeated last night the instantaneous triumph she secured in this character when she first produced it in Boston last week and the unanimous verdict of the cultured and critical audience that wit- nessed “Leah” at Albangh’s last night was that this will be one of the most effective plays in her repertoire. Mme. Bernhardt was well sup- ported and the piece was h ‘onight she i ‘Tur Bosrox Sraruoxy Oacnestsa.—The pro- gram rendered by the Boston Symphony Or- chestra at the Congregational Church last night was received with the approval which goes as a matter of course with any event with which the name of Arthur Nikisch is connected.

Emner, jr. in Tuz Evexixe Stan of the 12th inst, and who evidently has had a falling out with the police of this District.

There isnot the slightest ‘grain, atom, molecule of founda- tion for a statement of this kind, as the rules and regulations,strictly enforced, regarding the enlisting of recruits will show, and as nearly every ordinarily informed man already knows.

Fay, the dele- gates from the association of this city, left last night for the convention, - Parkersburg has made elaborate preparations for the coming of the delegates from the thirty organizations and over which will be represented. A reception will be given tonight by the ladies,and this evening Maj. H. 8. Wilson will make the ad- dress of welcome. The convention will be in session the rest of the weck and the discussion will be of a character particularly i the work of the association. H. Thane of Cincinnati, ‘the blind man eloquent,” is well known to Washington audiences, make the opening address on. “Tho Young Men of the Nation and the Agency That Works for Them. ‘The secretary of the association of this city, M E. Pugh, is on the —— for a paper on “What Has Been and What May Be Accom- plished in the Educational Work of the Asso- ciation.” The position which the education of Zoung men has taken in the association, here is largely due to the intelligent action of Mr. Pugh and the large number of studies of Practical value which young men have to select from,as well as the membership enrolled, nearly 300, are an indication of the ability and interest devoted to this department of the work of the association. Four members of the executive committee of the convention are connected with the association in this city. Mr. T. A. Harding is chairman and through his knowledge of association affairs the work throughout the whole District has greatly increased. Messrs. W. B. Gurley, J. B. Wight, J. E.

After Hearing Statements It Was Considered Accidental and No Inquest Held. Owing to the indisposition of Coroner Pat- terson yesterday Doputy Coroner Schaeffer made an investigation of the case of Mr. W. W. Hillery, the young brakeman on the B. and P. railroad who was killed Tuesday night, as published in yesterday's Sran. The body was removed to the morgue and several rail- road employes were present at the sixth polico station yesterday afternoon and made their statements of the affair. Mr. Hillery, father of the deceased, and two sisters were also pres- ent. Superintendent McKeever of the railroad was there,and he claimed that as counsel for the road, although not an attorney, he had a right to be present. The principal statement was that of Mr. Rodgers, who was a brakeman on the same train that night. He was on the cars when the deceased gave orders to “‘jog ahead.” ‘The un- fortunate man was on the ground and wes going to cut the rear car from the tra Rodgers gave the signal and the train started. A moment later Rodgers asked, “How is it?” ‘and as no response was made he went back and heard Hillery groaning. The coupling had hung and the car had passed over him. The deceased's father failed to understand exactly how his son was killed, and he charged that it was the policy of railroad men to “keep mum” in a matter of this kind. Dr. Schaeffer said that he had always found the railroad employes honest, straightforward men and he never had any trouble to get their full story. He said he would have to make some allowance for the father's feelings. “They are very strong,” was the father's re- sponse. After tho doctor had heard all the statements the father said ho understood that the killing of his son was purely accidental and that the company wus not criminally responsible. Dr. Schaeffer was of the samo opinion and he changed his mind about holding an inquest. A certificate of death wus given and Under- taker Spindicr prepared the remainsfor burial. stdace oe alae GEORGETOWN. n ‘iller who will BATLWAY DIRECTORS ELECTED.

Produces tbe CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY. Senator Hawley Tells of Connecticut's Share A fn Promoting It. ‘The third of the series of lectures given to the Daughters of the American Revolution by representative men of the thirteen original colonies was delivered last evening in the red parlor of the Riggs House, which, through the courtesy of Col. Staples, has been put at the disposal of the Indies of the national society for the season. Mrs. Walworth presided in the absence of Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Cabell. The lec- turer of the evening was Senator Hawley, and the subject was s brilliant sketch of Connecti- cut’suhare in promoting constitutional liberty and revolutionary success. He spoke enthusiastically of the wonderful nation that has sprung from tho humble colonial beginnings and said wo now have historical conscionsnesa, and might nd lifetime in boys ba nee hatery aed in being prond of on he thought of it he found himeelf going off in a Fourth of July oration. Oar inventions and material progross were admirable, but what thrilled him to remember was our perfection of government on the letter of the book. We have accepted logically the teachings of our fathers that all men are equal; civilly and politically the statute protects all; women occupy a better Position here than in any land; the moral, physical and mental life of the country is superior, and while the moral lifo might be improv. it always can in the way of per- fection, sill, by the letter of the book, woare an ideal people. THE MINISTER'S POSITION. ‘The chief man in each colony was the minis- ter, who not only preached twice on Sunday and several times during the week, but led his people in learning and patriotism, The second 1m authority was the senior selectman, the father Of the town, whose duty it was to ad. minister all civic affairs and look out for thi poor. ‘The third was the captain of the militia, who commanded the forces of his own town- ship, if numerous, and those of the neighbor- ing town (as well’ as his own), if both were small. Tho fourth was the; dominic, and this energetic quartet gave the people a four-fold education, while the system of electing and governing gave them training in politics and made them think and reflect on their duties to the general government. ‘The state was federalist in its politics, follow- ing Washington, and was one of the first to urge a closer bond at the end of the struggle, for it saw the impossibility of maintaining armies, navies and general government when Congress could only request the states to pay taxes. It saw clearly that the colonies as & whole were incompetent by reason of their in- dividuality. ‘The wise men in the united colonies’ counsels urged a strong central union, and they seemed almost to have a clairvoyant vision of what such a union would make of the young nation — the home of liberty, the watch tower of free- dom, the path of safe government—and on the stage of Independence Hall they made speeches that wore prophecies. THEY BUILT WISELY. Thoy built—no people ever built so wisely, and the American Constitution is the most wonderful work of human hands. Books were few in number in those days, and there was not much time for amusements, but there were “raising,” quiltings, corn huskings and country dances.’ Wo art, and but litte bric-a-brac, until the sailor boys began to bring home the porcelains and earrings of China an.

They believed in some- thing. The land was pervaded by a belief in God ‘and duty, and that makes a land anda people amount to something. At the conclusion of Senator Hawley's ad- Gres Miss Hallowell ployed delightfully and Mrs. Ellen Harden Walworth arose aud ex- Plsined the absence of Miss Jayne, who was to ve read a paper on Bennington. In her place Mrs. Walworth read an extract from her own book, “The Battles of Saratoga and the North- ern Campaign," relating to the same, and illus- trated it by the extraordinary and interesting relics lent by Miss Robinson for the occasion, pecboson mani John A.
