A Namber of Interestin: West Washingt Mrs. Catharine Reynolds has been order- ed to tear down her frame structures on Grace street between 32d and Sid streets, they having been prosounced dangerou?, owing to their ige and dilapidation. The houses of Mr. Joseph Rlundon of O street at the head of Potomzc, which were ordered to be torn down several months ago, have instead been put under the charge of reconstructers. Other houses in Georgetown have been condemned, but before they are razed there is likely to be a strong procest from the owners. One of those on whien has been Placed the brand of condemnation brings its owner in $3) a month. It 1s a frame tenement, and its rooms are always in great demand. ‘Town Pamps. The taking away of the town pumps has caused such a cry to go up for their re- placement that the department having the superintendence of the same has yielded to the popular demani, and begun to once more station the silent sentinels where they have stood for so many years. Some of the wells, however, will be iled up per- manently, the water ja them having been found too impure to permi: of its use. Yes- terday the well at tie c>rner of Dumbarton and 32d streets was given a new pump of the latest invention. This well, thocgh within ten feet of a sewer, was found to be uncontaminated after a careful analysis cf Items From its water. It is thirty feat deep and 's lsif full of water at all times. Death of Mr. Middleton. Mr. Robert I. Middleton, who for over a year has been ill and who on Tuesday last was stricken with paralysis of the right side, died last night. His death for some days has been deemed close at hand. Mr. Middleton for some years has been asso- ciated with Mr. Cicero Beckham in the running of an iron foundry on Water street and was a man who occupied a premirent place in the business com- munity. He was an upright and estimable geutleman and made friends with all whom he came in contact. Deceased leaves a widow, two sons and two daughters. One of his sons is Mr. Robert S. Middleton, the superintendent of the Georgetown Gas- light Company. Notes. On February 1 Mr. Joe Bateman, the popular light-weight boxer and instructor of the Columbia Athletic Club, will be mar- ried to Miss Sarah Holloran of 24th street. ‘The ceremony will be performed at St. Stephen’s Church.

The Juvenile “Pinafore” Will Be a Great Success—So, Too, Will Be the “Three Dukes.” This season the amateurs seem to have developed to a large extent and several performances of opera and cantata are already under way. The most interesting is that of the juvenile “Pinafore,” which wilk take place at the New National Thea- ter on February 3. It will be given for the benefit of the National Homeopathic Hospftal, and the ladies having the affair im charge are confident that the presenta- tion of Gilbert and Sullivan's tuneful opera will be even more attractive this year than when it was produced last spring. The cast will be nearly the same and naturally the children have gained more ease in their movements and will sustain their char- acters with greater effect. Little Miriam Stoddard, who was so suc- cessful in “mixing ‘those children up,” will, as Buttercup, mix them up again this year, and do it even more perfectly than before. As Capt. Corcoran, Paul Sperry was, and always will be, one of the bright and shin- ing lights, and the ladies are to be con- gratulated upon securing such a manly boy and such a polished little actor to fill the role again. But all who heard the opera last season will find extra pleasure in store for them in the excellence of Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B., as sung by Master Fred- erie Hazard. When he sang the part be- fore he was heavily handicapped and un- able to do himself justice, but now he is rendering Sir Joseph's lines and music in a wonderful way for a lad of twelve years, and daily living the life of the pompous old admiral, who claimed that “A British seaman was any man’s equal—excepting his.” The Ralph Rackstraw will be new, and Master Lee Cox of Georgetown, who has a voice of unusual sweetness and power, will assume this part. Although this is his first attempt in anything of this kind, ne is de- veloping into a good actor and will sur- prise and gratify his friends. He has been | largely aided at the rehearsals by- the Jos phine, with whom most of his stage busi ness is done. The miss who takes this part is little Marie Howe, who created such a favorable impression by her excellent sing- ing and acting last spring. She seems to have the instinct of an actress and is ex- tremely graceful in all her movements, while her voice is remarkable in one so young. She and Ralph go through their work with the earnestness and sincerity of professionals. The Boatswain will be as then, Burton Garrett. Harold Tracy will |Tepeat his excellent characterization of Dick Deadeye, and will give to the part all the earnestness that it demands. The Hebe will this year be Miss Helen Winter, who, it Is said, will be a decided improvement upon the part as formerly taken, being a little miss of much natural grace and beauty. In fact, all the children who par- ticipated in the performance are even more | interested in their work now and will, it | is confidently predicted, do even better than then. Others of the cast are Bob Becket, Walter Good: Tommy Tucker, Minnie | West; Aunt Ethel Traylor; marines, J. | Schnopp, M. Horne, A. Sullivan, J. Daley and F. Weller. The chorus includes Helen Birney, Pauline Bliss, Beulah Boernstein, | Bertha Coleman, Estelle Ellis,Agnes Geyer, Emma Heinrichs, Marie Hodgsén, Marjorie | Keefe, Louise Ketcham, Nellie Martin, |Sarah Morrison, Bertie Muth, Frances | Sanders, Kate Toumey, Ethel Wardle, Alice Wood, Lillie Wood, Sallie Wood, Palmer Ballinger, James Birney, Sylvester Cas- sell, Gregg Custis, Jesse Finley, Berkley |Geyer, Earl Goodwin, Alfred Hampson, | Charlie Headley, Ralph Johnson, Clarence | Lewis, Harry Stevens, Francis Sullivan, | ul Sharp, Frank Tucker, Harry Wardle, | Mattie Watson, Horace Winter and Otto The musical directors are Professors N. /D. Cloward and Harry Howard, and the |stage management is in charge of Mr. Willis Magruder. One of the most attractive performances of the present season, and one that is lcoked forward to with a great deal of in- terest, will be the presentation of a comic opera entitied “The Three Dukes,” which will be given on the afternoon of February | 6. This opera is entirely a Washington production, the libretto and the musical score both having been written by two young men of this city, and those who will take part in its representation are also well known in local musical circles. The cemposer of the score, Mr. Arthur Percy Harris, is a High School graduate, who has developed unusual musical ability. He has succeeded in writing a score which is filed with original melodies, solos and con- certed numbers that are strong and that are sure to catch the popular ear, The H- bretto has been written by his brother, Mr. W. H. Harris, also of the High School, who has produced a book bright in dialogue, with a sequential plot, and the action in- cludes many amusing situations. The opera has been in careful rehearsal for weeks, under the direction of both the authors, and it is anticipated that its pre- sentation will be one of the best ever given in this city. The cast and company are as follows: Cast—Miss Grace Lynne McCulloch, Miss Alice Judson, Miss Fannie AtLee, Miss Ger- trude McCulloch, Mr. W. H. Harris, Mr. Frank Rebstock, Mr. Charles Skerrett, Mr. Felix Mahoney, Mr. Arthur Gardner, Mr. Samuel Bruckheimer and Master Raleigh Luckett. Chorus—Sopranos, Misses Bertie Reichen- bach, Delia Street, Florence Mortimer, Daisy Joyce, M. Mundall, Sarah Kiggins, Annetta Ford, Marie de Ronceray, Hester Arm- strong, Lillie Stewart, Annie Lovejoy, M. McAlwee, Minnie Milligan and Sallie Shaw. Altos, Misses Elinor Simonds, W. E. Barton, Lucie Mortimer, Gertrude Stewart, Regina Baptista, Nannie Callan, Fannie J. Campbell, Agnes V. Morgan, Genevieve L. Ryder, Shaw and Kappeler. ‘Tenors.—Messrs. Paul T. Groove, Chas. Le Roy Howser, Edwin D. Flather, Louis H. Crowe, William P. Churchill, T. A. Davis, W. Webster Cullison, Edwin L. Campbell, Evans. Basses.—Messrs. Geo. A. H. Mills, Chas. Roberts, M. Hunter Jones, Morsell,"J. Wal- ter Morgan, R. T. Oliver, Jesse C. Brooke, Howard S. Burbank, J. A. Graham, Fred. E. Young, C. E. McCoy, G. M. Howard, Chas. G. Mortimer, H. E. Wilson, Albert B. Morgan, J. G. Blount, Blair Shaw, Edward W. Haight, Ralph D. Clarke, Harry K. Hodes. The opera will be given for the benefit of the Emergency Hospital, an institution which is one of the most important in the city, and for the sustenance of which every | good citizen is certainly anxious. It will have not only active support of all those di- rectly connected with the hospital, but the following ladies who have determined ener- getically to promote its success Mrs. Secretary Carlisle, Mrs. Secretary Smith, Mrs. Postmaster General Bissell, Miss Morgan, Mrs. Calderon Carlisle, Mrs. B. H. Warner, Mrs. Jno. Joy Edson, Mrs. Cc. J. Bell, Mrs. N. 8. Lincoln, Mrs. Dr. Kerr, Mrs. Dr. Prentiss, Mrs. W. B. Gurley, Mrs. E. Kurtz Johnson, Mrs. G. Lloyd Ma- gruder, Mrs. W. B. Moses, Mrs. Wm. C. Whittemore, Miss Waite, Mrs. A. A. Lips- comb, Mrs. P. V. DeGraw, Mrs. Albert Harper, Mrs. A. H. Galt, Mrs. Dieudonne, Mrs. Henry L. West, Mrs. Dr. Hammett, Mrs. Jno. G. Judd, Mrs. H. E. Davis. The Capital Glee Club is the worthy suc- cessor of the old Apollo Clud, and of its predecessor, the original muie Choral So- ciety, as the local exponent of works for | male voices. In excellence it is probably the peer of any other similar organization in the country, and possesses all the spirit | and enthusiasm attendant upon a success- ful career, musical and financial. The voices are well selected and well drilied in tone quality and unity of enunciation. Mr. | Clowara is most capable in direction and indefatigable in the performance of his duties. The work of the club heretofore reflects great credit upon him, and it is [wit be that its appearance this season will be attended with even greater success |than that of last season, when the club | made its debut. The plans of the club for this season con- template two concerts, the first being fixed | for February 1 and the second some time in April. For the first concert, Thursday evening, February 1, at Metzerott Music Hall, the club has engaged the New York Philharmonic Club, an organization of ar- | tists comprising a string quintet and flute virtuoso, besides Miss Marion 8S. Weed, who possesses a mezzo-soprano voice of very pleasing quality, and who, though but a short time on the concert ‘stage, is rapidly winning a high position among the best. In addition the club has _re-engaged | Mr. Leonard E. Auty of New York, whose |excellent tenor voice afforded such satis- | faction at the club's concert last season. | The program will be an interesting pot- | pourri of instrumental and vocal numbers, jeconcerted and solo, and will delight all lovers of music. The prices are popular, land seats may now be engaged at Metz- wtit's. What with the large expense attaching to Convention Hall, and the other heavy expenses of the concert, coupled with the fact that the dollar seats were not in de- mand, the Choral Society finds itself with less than $125 profit from its recent pro- duction of “The Messiah.” This will doubt- less be a surprise and a matter of regret to many people, who have estimated the rofits at four and five times this amount. heir error is excusable, in that few are aware that there are seats in Convention Hall for little if any more than 4,100, in- cluding the gallery. There seems to be a material discrepancy between the “seating capacity” and the number of seats actually provided. The audience numbered 3 ex- actly, of which number only 165 were “dead ead.”* That the society has not given up under its load of debt, the legacy of last season, is the highest commendation of its vitality and energy, and gives promise of an even- tual triumphant emerging from its financial embarrassments. The society greatly needs @ greater interest on the part of its friends in its financial welfare, and hopes with the improvement of the general business situ- ation to enlist the desired support to its work. To better guard against any pos- sible deficiency this season, the dues of the active members have been increased, while the muste {is supplied at cost. The number of applicants for admission is large and increasing, and when the grip has run its course with the absentees, the attend- ance will be nearly large as before the disbandment of the auxiliary corps. Mr. Kaspar is well pleased with the progress made in the rehearsal of “The Creation,” to be given after Lent. The program for the popular concert to be given under the auspices of St. Michael and All Angels’ Church at Metzerott’s on February 3, is to include Pinsuti’s “Good Night, Beloved,” Barnby’s “Sweet and Low,” “The Owl and the Pussy Cat’ (from Robin Hood), “The Muleteer of Tarragona” and other popular selectigns. Mr. John Porter Lawrence will be the accompanist, and Mr. Perry Turpin, tenor; Madame Kas- par, soprano; Miss Kleinschmidt, mezzo-so- prano, and Mr. Bispham, basso, are assign- ed prominent numbers. The choir of the church will also take part, and the cele- brated Hoyt Sisters of New Yerk and the Oimo Mandolin Orchestra will be import- ant features. Miss Fielding Roselle, a young Washing- ton girl, whe has been carefully cultivating her voice in New York, where she has been doing also excellent choir, concert and ora- torio work, will be tendered a benefit by her friends in this city. Several ladies prominent in society have interested them- selves in Miss Roselle, and will act as pa- tronesses, among whom may be mentioned Mrs. D. S. Lamont, Mrs. A. P. Gorman, Mrs, Jas. L. Pugh,Mrs. Cushman K. Davis, Mrs. Ciaude M. Johnson, Mrs. Chas. Reade and Mrs. Chas. Nichols. The event will take place at Metzerott Hall on the 25th instant, and the entertainment will be an enjoyable one. Miss Roselle will be assisted by the following artists: Dr. Carl E. Dafft, baritone; Mr. Thomas Evans Greene, tenor; Mr. Anton Kaspar, violin- ist; Miss Lotta Lynne, late of Augustin Daly’s company, and Mr. Edward H. Droop, accompanist. Great interest is felt in the progress Miss Roselle has made, and as the patronesses are actively at work in 4 her behalf, it ts believed her concert will be a decided success. > GRAND LODGE ADJOURNS. But the Odd Fellows Tra: ct Some Important Business First. The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of the District of Columbia concluded the bus- iness of the session Thursday evening. The report of the special committee to revise the constitution governing subordinate lodges was adopted, and the complete con- stitution was ordered to be printed and a copy forwarded to each lodge. The matter of the ‘proper celebration of the seventy- sixth anniversary of the introduction of the order into America, April 26, 1804, was discussed, and Grand Master Wood was ap- pointed to represent the Grand Lodge on a general committee from the various bodies, to meet February 7 at 7:80 o'clock in the 7th street hall, to formulate a pian of ac- tion. It is expected that a part of the cel- evration will be the dedication of the new 1. O.

The matter of the appeal from Golden Rule Lodge will be reported upon at the next session, Several important committees were created, in accordance with legisia- tion of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, to whom the questions of the relation of dues to benefits, a uniform initiation fee and other matters were referred.

The Makah tribe of Indians of Neah Bay have been accustomed for years to cruise on the, ocean twenty or thirty miles from Cape Flattery, boldly attacking whales, fur seals and sea lions, catching halibut, the several varieties of cod, salmon and rock fish, all of which abound in great numbers about the cape. It was in 1862 that the government established a reservation and agency at Neah Bay under charge of Henry Webster. The Makahs are not an agricultural tribe. They are entirely self- supporting, ‘receiving only about $400 a year from the government for educational purposes entirely. They derive all of their subsistence from the ocean. They have been encouraged to procure a larger class of vessels than the canoes of their ances- tors and they have been allowed to own and command vessels capable of making voyages to distant seas in pursuit of their vocation of sealing, whaling and fishing. In 1369 sealing schooners first commenced to take these Indians with their canoes to the sealing grounds, and they thus acquired a knowledge of the superior facility afford- ed by a schooner for safety and comfort. It was not before, 1880 that any Indian had confidence enough to purchase and sail a vessel of his own larger than a canoe. Gradually the Makahs have increased their business, and having been successful in their sealing they now own a fleet of ten fine schooners, varying in size from twenty- five to fifty tons each. They start out in January, as soon as the seals begin to ap- pear in the vicinity of Cape Flattery, and cruise south, following the herds along the coast to the Columbia river and returning with the seals as they slowly wend their way north to the Aleutian rookeries. From the Columbia river to Aiaska the Makah natives know the coast and can navigate their own schooners, but when they go to Bering sea or to the Japan coast they are compelled to take with them a Caucas- fan navigator. The young men of the tribe are exceedingly bright. Most of them at- tend the evening school, where they learn to-read and write English. Recently some of them have been studying and it will not be long before they able to navigate their own vessels even in foreign waters. The earnings of members of the tribe from sealing aggregate over $40,000 a year. Under the present law, as laid down by the Bering sea tribunal in Paris recently, | the Indinas have considerabie advantage |over the white hunters. Firearms are strictly prohibited in hunting seals, and this causes the Indians to adopt their old custom of hunting with spears, at which a large number of the tribe are adepts. tical sealers claim bett Prac- that the Indians will er than either the English fare much or Americ An Exceptional Woman.

Albaugh's.—William H. Crane, the comedi- an, will be the attraction at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House next week,when he will present two new plays—‘Brother John” and “On Probation”—and revive an old one— “The Senator.” The last named will be Sat- urday night's bill and is sufficiently well known to need no further mention. The engagement will begin with “Brother John,” a four-act comedy from the pen of Martha Morton, It is in this play that Mr. Crane has been appearing all season, and in which he is said to have scored heavily. It is a pretentious work and aiming to attack cer- tain phases of what is known as polite society. In the last act there is said to be much humor and happiness. “Brother John” will be repeated on Tuesday, Wednesday and at the Saturday matinee. “On Probation” will have its first hearing on Thursday and be repeated on Friday. This play ts said to be very laughable. Brander Matthews, a well-known literary man, and George H. Jessop wrote it, and if there were any serious lines in it after it was completed they took care to eliminate them. The principal character is a wealthy American, traveling abroad, with a pen- chant for running after pretty girls. He will flirt with anything wearing petticoats and has a heart in which he finds a place for all womankind. No man can flirt and keep out of trouble, and Silsbee is in hot water continually. He is blackmailed by a bogus count, entrapped into-a proposal of marriage by a designing Irish widow and threatened with death by a Brazilian, whose wife he had the misfortune to kiss. The staging of the three plays will, it is prom- ised, be very handsome and elaborate. New National Theater.—F:ancis Wilson and his comic opera company will be at the New National Theater next week in an elaborate production of ‘Erminie.” Academy of Music.—The attraction at the Academy of Music next week will be Archie Boyd in “The Country Squire.” Harris’ Bijou Theater.—The attraction at Harris’ Bijou Theater the coming week will be “The Rambier from Clare,” Dan Mc- Carthy’s new play, with the autho: himself as the bright particular star in the princi- pal role. It is a clever Irish drama, replete with pzetty songs, catchy music, dialogues and realistic reproductions of scenes in the Emerald Isle. ‘The curtain rises in the first act and discloses a typical Irish farm yard. At one side the old thatched cottage where the good mothe- sits. In the distance are the chickens, goats, pigs and donkey. Then the bright colleens and rollicking lads come flocking in and indulge in a genuine coun- try dance. Mr. McCarthy is one of the most talented of the young stage Irishmen of the day, having rapidly won his position in the foremost ranks of refined Celtic de- lineators. A large number of new songs and clever dances will be introduced. A thrilling and realistic eagle's flight adds to the dramatic interest, while a St. Patrick’s day parade, with the usual accompaniments of such an occasion, affords much enter- tainment, a real Irish piper, said to be the finest performer in the world, furnishes music for some of the jollifications which mark the adventures of “The Ramble: from Clare.” Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The City Club Spectacular Farce Comedy Company will be the attraction at the Lyceum Theater next week. The opening burletta, entitled “The City Club at Midnight; or, the Fringe. Froth and Crust of Society,” is rendered brilliant by an abundance of dazzling cos- tumes, a rare display of gorgeous scenery, and enlivened with popular vocal and in- strumental music. The variety perform- ance includes Lew Hawkins,Harry Bryant, the Vidocqs, Fannie Everett, the Dillon Brothers, Ruby Marion and Lowe-y and Hanley. Between each act in the olio Morot's living pictures of a genuine Span- ish bull fight will be introduced. A bur- lesque, entitled “A Tempting Town,” closes the performance. Full returns of the Corbett-Mitchell fight will be read from the stage of the Lyceum Thu-sday afternoon and evening, according to time of combat. Mt. Vernon Place M. E. Church.—A lec- ture by Rev. F. "E. Clark, D.D., president of the United Society of Christian Endeav- or, on his “Trip Around the World,” will | be delivered at the Mt. Vernon Place M. E. | Church on Monday evening. Shortly after the great convention of 1892 in New York Dr. Clark, a¢companied by his wife, made the tour of the globe, occupying nearly a year in their travels. Many interesting views were obtained, which will be used in connection with the lecture. The Philharmonic Club.—The second con- cert of the Philharmonic Club will be given Wednesday evening, January 21, at the Universalist Church, corner of 13th and L streets ‘northwest. The soloists will he Miss Leonora von Stosch and Mrs. Ernest Lent. The former will play Sarasate’s Faust Fantasie and Wienlawski’s Russian airs for violin. Mrs. Lent, who has re- cently had great success on the’ concert platform in Baltimore and elsewhere, and whose recent European studies have great- ly increased her power as a plano virtuoso, will give a Chopin nocturne and Liszt's polonaise in E major. Mr. Herman C. Rakemann, the well-known violinist. will play with Mrs. Lent the celebrated Heller- Ernst duet for violin and piano, and the club will perform Mr. Lent’s trio in B minor and Goldmark’s trio for violin, ’cello and piano. Mr Lent will play a Rach air and gavotte for ‘cello, The entire program is unusually fine. Seats at Knabe's. King Rene’s Dauehter.—Smart’s cantata. “King Rene’s Daughter.” will be rendered at Metzerott Music Hall next Wednesday evening for the first time in Washington by the pupils of Miss Katie V. Wilson, an augmented chorus of seventy female voices, and an orchestra from the Marine Band. The cantata will be sung in concert form. Miss Helen Nye, Miss Bertie Thompson and Miss Alice Pillsbury constituting the solo- ists. The whole will be under the direction of Miss Wilson. Sol Smith Russell.—All lovers of refined and wholesome comedy are assured of a rich treat in the forthcoming engagement of the famous comedian, Sol Smith Russell. This artist is so favorably known to local playgoers that the simple announcement of his coming will prove sufficient to crowd the theater. A more mirth-provoking or thoroughly enjoyable performance than that given by that comedian, will not be afforded again in our city for some time. Mr. Russell and his superb company will appear in his new play, “April Weather,” at the Grand Opera House, Monday, Janu- ary 29, which will without a doubt be filled with the elite of the city. Mr. Russell brings here the same company that sup- ported him in New York and Chicago. Sale of seats begins Monday morning.

World's Fair.—On Monday night Miss Janet Richards will deliver her illustrated lecture on the world’s fair at the Church of the Reformation on Capitol Hill. This church, of which Rev. W. E. Parson is pastor, is doing a good work in that locality and has a large number of friends who will undoubtedly see that the lecture is well at- tended. Miss Richards has been very suc- cessful in her lecture on the world’s fair. She avoids the guide-book style of telling her story and talks brightly and chattily of things that she saw and people whom she met. Her illustrations are among the best that have been presented of the white city and the stereopticon is handled by Prof. Murray. Slivinski.—Great interest is manifested in the coming appearance in this city of Jos. Slivinski, the eminent pianist. He will be heard in Metzerott Hall next Friday even- ing, and those who have memories of Pade- rewski, Rubenstein, Von Bulow and other great artists, will be anxious to determine exactly what rank this new aspirant for public favor shall be given. Wherever he has appeared in this country thus far he has met with unqualified success, the critics agreeing that he is an artist in the truest sense of the word. He will include in his programs here compositions of Bach, Han- del, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Ruben- stein and Liszt. Tick will go on sale at Metzerott’s music store on Tuesday next.
