This season's opening, which is attracting crowds of friends and patrons to this well-known corner, does not fall in magnificence, of any of its pre- Potted palms and chrysanthe- mums abound. The florists have excelled themselves in producing some of the most beautiful effects imaginable. But the flow- ers do not absorb alJ the attention by a great deal. Magnificent holiday articles of all kinds add materially to the general ef- fect. Mr. Mertz’s invitation to all is being accepted and appreciated. _— An Art Exhibi \.

At the afternoon session the re- port of the representative to the right) worthy grand lodge was adopted and ordered | printed. The committee on temperance legis- lation reported in favor of petitioning the legislature to submit a constitutional amend- | ment prohibiting the manufacture and sale | of intoxicating liquors as a beverage w/ the voters of the state.

A committee consisting of Mrs. A. 8S. Woodhouse, Mrs. A. J. Pyle and Mrs. S. E. Bailey was ap- pointed to consider the advisability of or- ganizing a temperance institute. On call of the lodges, eight hundred subscribers were pledged for the Good Templar News. J. F. Birrell offered a resolution reducing the per capita tax from fifteen to twelve and a half cents per quarter, which was laid on the table by a practically unanimous vote. The executive committee reported a list of the appointed officers for the ensuing year, which was approved. The grand lodge officers were then installed by the supreme templar, assisted by J. W.

Woodhouse of Staunton, on behalf of Mountain City lodge, extended an invitation for the grand lodge to hold its annual session next September in that city and the invitation was unani- mously accepted. Another effort was made to reduce the per capita tax, but was again laid on the table. Mr. H. M. Trimble offer- red a resolution of thanks to Pioneer Lodge, No. 1, and the citizens generally, for the hospitality accorded the delegates to the session, which was adopted. Rev. S. A. Ball offered the following reso- lution. which was adopted, viz.: That the Grand Lodge of Good Templars recommend and urge appointment in each lodge of an agent to solicit subscribers for the Good Templar News, to test the sentiment of the lodges as to publishing it semi-monthly. At the night session the unwritten work of the order and marshal's drill was exem- plified by the supreme templar in a most ex- ceilent manner, for which the Grand Lodge showed its appreciation. The Grand Lodge also expressed its greetings and co-operation with the District Grand Lodge in its efforts for temperance legislation in the District.

A libel in personam has been filed by Mr. Randall Hagner on behalf of Charles Bur- nett et al, owners of the schooner Ellen Tobin, against Chas. G. Smith and Chas. G. Smith, jr., as lessees, in possession of a cer- tain wharf near the foot of High street, Georgetown, alleging that the said lessees had employed the schooner to come into the wharf and there had Icaded it with stone; that owing to the careless and negligent conduct of said lessees and of the condi- tion of the berth connected with the said wharf, the schooner was loaded down upon a rock at the bottom of the berth in front of the wharf, and that in consequence of the said negligence the schconer had her back broken and became a total loss. The libelers therefore claim $15,000 damages. —> Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to the following: Wm.

The versatility of M. Coquelin was never better illustrated than in the two plays pre- sented at Albaugh’s Opera House last night —Tartuffe” and “Les Precieuses Ridicules.” In the former his hypocrisy was never dropped, the character was consistent throughout, and in all the details of facial Interesting Exercises Held Yesterday— | expression, action and intonation M. Co-| yery large. The Grand Canton and Canton quelin was perfect. In this play M. Coque- | lin, jr., was seen to excellent advantage a8 Grand Lodge. The grand master made a Orgon, and showed how carefully he had studied the methods of his famous sire, and | how greatly he had profited by that study. Mme. Hading made a charming Elmire, and the other characters were efficient. In the second piece Coquelin, as the bogus Masca- rette, gave full vent to his powers as a comedian, and completely captivated his audience by his exceilent work. Although | this was the more pleasing character to the audience, his ability as an artist was man- ifested, perhaps, more by his masterly per- formance of Tartuffe. But in whatever character he is seen he is the careful, con- scientious player, losing his own identity in the part he assumes, and presenting to his | audience a living, breathing part. His abil- ity to successfully portray characters so | distinctly at variance shows the wide range of his art, and justifies his title to pre-) eminence on the stage. Tonight “The Tam- ing of tne Shrew,” under the title of “Le Megere Apprivoissee,” will be given, and both M. Coquelin and Mme. Hading will be seen to advantage. Last night both M. Coquelin and Mme. Hading were presented with handsome floral tributes from the French club, “Les Precieuses Ridicules,” of this city. * New National Theater.—Nat Goodwin will be the attraction at the National Theater next week in his new play “In Mizzouri. Academy of Music.—There will be a sea- son of English opera at the Academy next week by the company, headed by Mme. Tavary. The repertoire is as follows: Mon- day, “Il Trovatore;” Tuesday, “1 Pagliacci’ and “Cavalleria Rusticana;" Wednesday, matinee, “Bohemian Girl; night, ‘‘Lohen- grin;’ Thursday, “Carmel Friday, “Faust; Saturday matinee, Pagliacct’ and scenes from “Martha;” night, “Car- men.” Albaugh’s Opera House.—Miss Carrie Tur- ner will be the attraction at this theater next week in a repertoire of plays, the first of which will be an adaptation of Dumas' famous work, which is called “The Edge of Society.” Miss Turner has been de- scribed as a woman whose rare talent as an actress only surpassed by her charm- ing and winsome personality, one who brings to the impersonation of her power- ful emotional roles an intellectual respon- siveness and ready sympathy, which make her acting all one could wish for. To a voice of rare sweetness, flexibility and power she adds grace of movement, a handsome face and an irresistible charm of manner that never fail to win the admiration of her audience and the unstinted praise of the most discriminating critics. In the “Edge of Society” she has a part which she has made thoroughly her own, since she origi- nated it in this country. Many have at- tempted to play the piece, but they have invariably failed in the light and delicate shades which Miss Turner has invested the part of Suzanne. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—The attraction at Harris’ Bijou Theater the coming week will be that fun-making farce comedy, “‘Fin- negan’s Ball.” Murray and Mack are the leading spirits of the occasion. Finnegan gives a ball and invites a company of peo- ple, who pass the time in singing, dancing and repartee. Private theatricals are pro- | posed by some, and while they are in pro- | gress, other visitors, who have not been told that the love making and tragedy are simulated, arrive upon the scene and pre. cipitate some very ludicrous complications. While “Finnegan's Ball’ makes no preten- sions beyond being a fin de siecle combina tion of what the people like in fun, melody, dancing and specialty performance, it really has much ingenuity of plot. people who appear are George H. Emerick, Waiter Fredericks, Rich, E. Lynch, Herbert Dillea, Fred. Archer, Mark Davis, Stella Deane, Pearle Hight, Lonnie Deane and Ada Jewell. Both money and care have been freely expended in securing not only a talented company, but artistic features in scencry and costuming as well. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The Rose Hill English Folly Company will be the attrac- tion at the Lyceum next week. The organ- ization is said to be very extravagant in pretty girls, droll comedians, charming dances, marches, drills, tableaux and stat- ues. The French quadrille will be a feature of the performance. The concluding feature will be an original musical comedy burietta, entitled “The Fakir’s Daughter,” which serves to introduce the ful! strength of the company, including a chorus of thirty voices, clever soubrettes and funny knock- | about comiques. In the company are: Ved- der sisters, French eccentriques; Morton and Eckhof, musical artists; Daly and Lee, the Irish warblers; the Washburn sisters, the original comedy duo; E. J. Holland, king of the air, and Julia Kelly, the only lady bene soloist in the world. Boston Symphony Orchestra.—The Boston Symphony Orchestra will give the second concert in its series at Metzerott Hall next Monday evening. Mr. be the soloist. symphony in F, Goetz; first movement of the concerto for violin, Beethoven; sym- phonic poem, “Omphale’s Spinning Whee! Saint-Saens, and overture, “Lenore No. 3. Beethoven. A musical and literary entertainment, by Wm. C. Frissell, will be given at Hayden Hall, corner 4 1-2 street and Pennsylvania avenue, next Friday evening. The program will be carefully selected, and an enjoyable evening is promised. One of the principal attractions will be the singing and =} dancing of Miss Magdaleen Turnburke. Fisk Jubilee Singers.The return of the Loudin company of Original Fisk Jubilee Singers to the city will be hailed with de- | light by those who remember the wonderful jubilee voices, which delighted such lacge audiences before their six years’ tour around the world. This company will ap- pear at Calvary Baptist Church on next Wednesday evening, and, it ts safe to say, will be greeted by a full house. Seats are on sale at White's music store, No. 935 F street northwest, and can be had at the church on the 13th. Miss Richrds’ Lecture.—On Wednesday evening next Miss Richards will repeat her interesting lecture on the “White City by the Lake” at the Fou y M. BE.

James C. Easton, D. D., pastor of the Eastern Pres- byterian Church, was then introduced. His address was replete with history, wit, meta- phor and prophecy. He joined the order in Scotland when but seventeen years of age, being then a member of the juvenile or- | ganization, and has ever since cherished the three links. | At the conclusion of the address P. G. M, Fowler, on behalf of the lodge, presented Grand Master Wood a beautiful basket of | flowers, and P. G.

Voigt Jwly.Co.* sed ane CRUSTED SCALY SKIN, TORMENTS MINISTER'S FAMILY. ALMOST DROVE WIFE MAD. DOCTORS USELESS. INSTANT RELIEF AND SPEEDY CURE BY CUTICURA. Three years ugo my wife, four little children and myself were afflicted with a crusty, scaly disease of the skin. It tormented us all. Such a plague I hope will never again visit my family. My "S ages were respectively nine, seven and rs, except the youngest, who was only two months old. Of ull our sufferiug my wife suffered the most. It almost drove her mad. The disease first made its appearance on my wife’s back be- tween the shoulders and spread across to her breast. It looked like ii was covered over with little seales. I first bought of a drug store medicine for skin disease, which failed to do any good what- ever. I next employed a doctor, who gave relief for a short while. After trying him for quite a while without effecting a cure I called in another doctor, who proved to do no better than the first. After this I bought CUTICURA REMEDIES of Messrs. Purcell, Ladd & Co., Richmond, Va., hav- Ing of them in a newspaper. Relief followed the first application, and five or six sets cured all of us, I do not know what the disease was ‘we had—it affected us ull alike, but I do know CUTI- CURA cured us of that skin disease. Rev. J. N. WOODS, Avon, Nelson Co., Va.
