Last evoning the matter reached a culmination when, at the end of the first act of “The Ensign,” the stage hands struck und marched out, leaving the management to sct the scenery as best it could. Fortunately for the audience, the management ‘was equal to the occasion, and under the lead- ership of Mr. A. W. Dingwall, the manager of “The Ensign” company, and Mr. Harry Rap- ley the ushers and the ticket takers were put at the disposal of Mr. John Mnuier, the stage car- penter, and everything moved along like clock- work. Among the theatrical mechanics of the Dis- trict there is an ization known as the “Theatrical Mechanics’ Association, 672, K. of L.,” of which Mr. Ji Behrens is the master workman. The association numbers forty-five men, of whomeleven are employed at the Acad- emy of Music. In speaking of the trouble last night Fairfax Bontz, the master flyman, under whose direction the strike was inaugurated, said: ‘The most of us who belong to the The- atrical Mechanics’ Association are skilled me- chanics who have trades of our own. We have been working cach night for #5 a week, and are Bald by the hour for extra work. which falls on jandays. What we want and have asked some weeks ago is e raise to an even doller per night and an increase in our pay for hour work. "A formal demand was made on the managers of the Academy three weeks ago, aud they re- fused to listen to us. We decided tonight to try a strike In speaking of the strike Mr.W.W. Rapley,the manager of the Academy, said: ‘All the trouble ‘that we have had tonight is the result of a de- sire on the part of the mechanics’ union to step in and dictate the management of our theater. The demands of the men in regard to money are fair In the main and I would have no ob- jection to granting them, but there are other that they demand in the way of restrict- ing the work of the stage carpenters, and some changes in the upper soule of wages that are not just.

Little Lot- tie Briscoe completely captured the audiences, both by her excellent acting and her sweet voice. The play is one which appeals strongly to the affections of the audience, while tt also is ‘one which holds the interest throughout. The company is a well-balanced one, each part be- ing in the hands of capable artists. Eugene Moore as The Burglar, Louis Dallin as The Law Student, Carleton Macy as Paul Benton and Julia Batchelder as Mamie were particu- larly good. Large audiences will undoubtedly be the rule uhroughout the week. Kenxax's Lyceca Tuzarer.—Kernan’s Ly- ceum Theater has for Christmas week the Fay Foster Burlesque Company, | The audiences which greeted the members of this aggregation yesterday proved that they are still welcome in this city. Ida Siddons, who leads the company, is a weil-known burlesque actresa. The amuse- ment opens with an olfe entitled. “Fun on a Yacht,” in which most of the company partici- pate.” Mazie T. Lawrence, the change artist, made « favorable impression and was followed by Ida Siddons in the serpentine dance. The Du Rell Brothers, the Vidocqs (John and Edna) and Frank O’Brien, an original and amusing comedian, contributed to the excellence of the performance. Maude Clifton, the serio-comic, made a bit. The exhibition of the Patterson Drothers on the triple bar was excellent. The burlesque, ““Prince Taphee Toophar,” written by Fred Solomou, filled its place as a fan pro- voker.

The fire originated large theater,and the greatest of these is the ques- tion of « panic. It does not takes fire to start one. The slightest whisper of anything wrong be- hind the scenes is liable to cause a stampede at any time, with the gravest recults. I will not be placed in « position where an ontsider can come upon the stage and at a word stop all the work that is going forward and create confusion that may be carried to the front of the house. I want to be captain of my own ship, that is all. Ithink that All theve differences can be ar- ranged, but, no matter how that muy be, there will be no trouble about the future perform- ances if we all bave to go back and eet the scenes again ad we did tonight.” Mr. Harry Rapley said this morning that new men had been hired to fill the places of those who struck last night and that the perform- ances would be produced withont the «lightest hitch. He reiterated the statement of his father which is printed above. He did not an- ticipate any trouble among the stage hands of the National. Mr. Harry Fiske of Albaugh’s Theater knew nothing more of the strike than he had seen in the press. ‘No intimation of any such action on the part of the stage hands of this. theater has reached me and I do not think there will be any.” ab ge A Class Reunion. ‘The class of '89, U.

A very enjoyable Sunday school celebration took place on Mbndayat Montebello, the residence Mr. Milton E. Smith, editor of the Church ‘ews, near Branchville, Prince George's county, Md. This school, which is a branch of St. Joseph’s Church, Ammendale, was organized last summer and is in a flourishing condition. The interest of the Christmas celebration was heightened by the presence of the Rev, Father Meehan, pastor of St. Joseph's, and Brother ‘Tobias, the founder and for many years presi- dent of St. John’s College, Washington, and relatives of the pupils, The following program was well rendered: Music by the Sunday «chool, recitations of Christmas poems by Jos, Owen, Annie Freeman, Edith Loveless. Birdie Owen, Ada Loveless, Daisy Riddle, St. Leo R. Smith; Annie, Callie and Lily Loveless as fairies, fol- lowed by the beautiful hymn “In Bethlehem Town,” rendered by the whole school.

Now I desire it distinctly known that I am not in any way connected with the health office at this time, but that I was for a short time last autumn so connected as to be fully competent now to speak upon this subject. I have been #o fully convinced of the injustice heaped upon the health officer, Dr. Hammett, from time to time that I am impelled to offer a few words in his defense. That this man has been « faithful and earnestly conscien- | tious officer, though constantly persecuted | from the time of appointment, have had | ample opportunities to learn. That the bulk of these garbage complaints have been fraudu- lontly made Ihave every reason to believe. That there are a few genuine catives or cases of complaint I will not attempt to deny. But these cannot be charged to the failure of the health officer to perform his duty so far as the law may be con- | strued to allow him.

These are the main rea- sons for their garbage being left. That a daily service is entirely unnecessary I am very certain. During my connection with the health office last fall, while I was acting as sanitary in- spector and making house to house in- spections, and that, too, during the period when our clty’s population was almost doubled, Tatno time found such an accumulation of garbage in hotels or elsowhere as to Justify an Additional expense of this character to the city.

What, I would like to ask, could prove a more felici- tous and fertile cuiture ground for that pec liar disease germ than the stagnant accumula- tions and deposits of thousands upon thousands of privy fallings, solids and liquids, flowing into and remaining there for years? For shame, that this should be allowed to re- main so for a day longer and that the monetary interests of any corporation should deter for one hour the removal of that dam, when the health and liver of thousands upon ‘thousands of the citizens of our national capital are being Jeopardized thereby. ow much more noble and grand would our garbage complainants ap- pear did they exert their energies to the same extent in finding ways and means to put a stop to sucha state of affaira, — C.

Practically emphasizing the good accomplished the school was, that day, in charge of William Washington, the man who bas been so won- drously saved from drink and other dissipa- tions, and most happily did he draw the cou- trast between this Christmas and that of one year ago. He said: “Now boys, if the worst man in this alley could be so transformed, what may not you accomplish?
