The fourth quarterly conference of North Capitol M. E. Church was held on Thurs- day evening. This being the fifth of a ser- fes of years’ service in this church by its pastor, Rev. Charles O. Cook, and the limit of continuous service allowed by the gen- eral conference for any one church, the oc- casion was marked by a feeling of interest seldom displayed at meetings of a like nature, and will be long remembered by those participating in its exercises. Resolu- tions indicative of appreciation for services rendered, as well as expressive of regret because of the approaching separation of pastor and board in an official capacity, were adopted by a unanimous rising vote, to which the pastor responded in an effec- tive manner. ——_. Class of ’93, C. H. S. The class of "93, Central High School, will give a musical entertainment Tuesday even- ing at Universalist Church. The program will include piano solos, by Arthur D. Mayo; violin solos, by Anton Kasper; violoncello solo, by Prof. Ernest Lent; soprano solo, by Miss Leta Stakely; contralto solo, by Miss Florence McNelly, and bass solo, by Elphen- zo Youngs, jr. The affair will be under the direction of the members of the executive committee of the class, Misses Moritz, Young, Ross and Bresnahan, and Messrs. Finckel, King, Bradley, Stutz, Test and Hayes. ——_— Motion for a New Trial. Messrs. W. A. Cook and Casson on Sat- urday filed a mgtion for a new trial in the case of Dr. Edward Leon, convicted on ‘Tuesday of the murder of the child of Estel- la Beach, in Criminal Court, division 2. The grounds are that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence, error in the rulings of the court and newly discovered evidence. Talking and Doing. The congregation of Salem Baptist Church was entertained and instructed yesterday afternoon by a discussion precipitated by a paper read by Mr. O. E. Gassaway, under the title of “Talk Less and More.” Messrs. Goines, Lamkins, Harris, Jones and others took part in the debate that fol- lowed the reading. ae ee A Distructive Fire. A fire broke out at residence 224 11th street southeast about 9:30 o'clock this morning, and worked considerable damage before No. 8 engine company succeeded in controlling the flames. The house is occu- Pied by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sanford and Mrs. Dora Marshall. Mr. Sanford was not at home at the time, being employed in dis- charging his duties in the Treasury De- partment. The fire originated in the rear Foom on the second floor. The funeral servicés over the remains of the late William F. Reichenbach were held yesterday afternoon in the chapel in Glen- wood cemetery. His sudden death at his residence. 922 10th street northwest, at 7 o'clock Thursday evening, occasioned great forrow among his many friends. About ten days previous Mr. Reichenbach con- tracted a heavy cold, which, despite unre- mitting care, developed into pneumonia. Mr. Reichenbach was exceedingly popular in musical circles. He was, at different times, a member of the Philharmonic So- ciety, the Choral Society, and St. Paul's choir. He was born in this city thirty-seven Years ago,and was, for many years associated with his father in the plano business on 11th street, and later with W. G. Metzerott & Co. He left a wife and three children. > Those interested In art should attend the exhibition of the De Vere collection of ofl paintings at Sloan's gallery. 1407 G street. ie opens Wednesday at 11 am.—Advt. snes Trustees’ sale of two two-story brick dwel- ngs, 1022 Georgia avenue southeast, and 1007 Ith street southeast, tomorrow at 4:30 and 4:45 o'clock p.m.,respectively.

The Final Rehearsal of the Choir To- morrow Evening—No Tickets of Admission Needed. There will be no tickets issued for admis- sion to the Moody meetings, which begin Wednesday evening, other than those to the choir, pastors of co-operating churches, Christian workers and ushers not on duty. ‘These will use the K street entrances of Convention Hall. and admission there will be bypticket only. The L street entrance will be absolutely free to the public, and the doors will be open so that there wil] be no need of crowding. The ushers will meet at the hall on Tues- day evening. Those who have not their tickets and badges should secure them at once at the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion from Mr. J. E. Pugh, chairman of the usher committee. The list of ushers is full, and no more will be needed. The list of names for the different days will be print- ed tomorrow, so that each usher will know when he is expected to be on duty. The number of volunteers is so great that they are divided into two sections, alphabetical- ly arranged. From A to and including H will be on duty for one week, beginning Wednesday, February 7. From I to Z will be in charge for the week beginning Wed- nesday, February 14. A to H will return February 21, and I to Z will hold sway the last week of the meetings, beginning Feb- ruary 28 to and including March 6. It is expected the ushers who are not on active duty will be present to render any special service that may be required of them. ‘The Last Choir Rehearsal. Everything is about ready in connection with the great choir for the Moody and Sankey services, and judging from the last rehearsals it will not only prove to be the biggest, but one of the best choruses ever heard in this city, which is saying a great deal for the capital city. Director Foster has carefully 4rilled the singers until some of the staccato, piano and crescendo effects are wonderful for such a crowd in so short an acquaintance with each other. Less “dead wood” is in this choir than is gener- ally the case in large musical organizations. One of the best evidences of the interest in this matter is the fact that nearly all the choirs of the city are represented in the membership, and, in fact, a very large pro- — of singers are ready readers of mu: While the great tones of the pipe organ will be missed in Convention Hall, this will be in a large measure offset by the use of a concert grand piano, a powerful reed organ and a large orchestra, which latter is doing fine work. The final reharsal of every one connected in-any way with the music will take place tomorrow, Tuesday evening, at 7:30 o'clock, in the Convention Hall, 5th and L streets. It_is absolutely necessary for every mem- ber of the choir to attend in order to receive complete instructions for the work to begin on esday. ———-__. DEATH OF DR. SUMBY. A Well-Known Physician of South Washington Passes Away. Dr. S. A. Sumby, a well-known doctor, Mving in South Washington, died yesterday. The deceased was born in Virginia, forty- seven years ago. In 1863 he came to this city, and in 1874 he graduated from the Howard University Medical School. He built up a large practice in this city. He leaves a wife and a son. The doctor was a prominent member of the Masonic fra- ternity and belonged to the following bodies: Past master, Felix Lodge, No. 3, F. A. A. M.; Prince Hall Chapter, No 5, R. A. M., and Mount Calvary Commandery, No. 4, K. T. He was also a thirty-second degree Mason of the A. A. S. R. (southern juris- diction), also prominent member of Mt. Cal- vary Lodge, No. 1, K. of P., and captain and surgeon of the Capital City Guards. ‘The various bodies will assemble at the hall, Virginia avenue and Sth street south- east, tomorrow at 12 o’clock, and march to the Metropolitan Zion Wesley Church, D street southwest, between 2d and 3d, where the services will be held. —— Death of Mrs. Mary A: Brooks. Mrs. Mary A. Brooks, a well-known and highly respected lady and the widow of Mr. Edward Brooks, one of the early residents of Washington, died yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock at her residence, 732 3d street, after a long and very painful illness. Mrs. Brooks leaves three sons, Mr. Howard Brooks of The Evening Star, Samuel R. Brooks, a printer, and James E. Brooks of the city post office. She was born in Mont- gomery county, Md., near Laurel, August 16, 1852, and was, therefore, sixty-one years of age. Today is the forty-first anniversary of her marriage. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from her late residence. The interment will be at Glenwood temetery. pate eee semen Seience and Faith. The theme of Kev. A. G. Kogers of the Church of Our Father yesterday morning was the creed of the agnostic. He said that an agnostic does not believe anything ex- cept what has been demonstrated, and Hux- ley, Tindall, Darwin and other scientists are referred to by this class as being their greatest exponents. While the scientist ridicules the faith of a Christian, yet ne himseif indulges in faith, which 1s the very | foundation stone of all his laws and reason. lings. Matthew Arnold, in a poem, adm! | that there is a future and a promise of a | higher and better world to come. Liberal- |ism of belief has not tended to impair the | work of the Christian Church, and the ag- | nostic is actuated in his views more by & |disinclination to investigate than anything else. ——_._—_ . Col. Watterson’s Lecture. The star-eyed goddess of reform sat upon a lofty throne at Albaugh’s last evening and many people came to do her honor. Her high priest, the famous editor-orator of Kentucky, the man who writes what peo- ple love to read, and who says what people love to hear, Henry Watterson, was there to pour out a libation of eloquence to the goddess. Col. Watterson had for the subject of his lecture “The Compromises of Life.” If he had taken the weather or the man in the moon for the spool to wind about the web of his thought, he would have interest- ed his hearers none the less. His audience was a friendly one. Any audience would be friendly to this kind-hearted, honest son of the blue grass country. They followed his utterances with the closest attention from the moment he began with a few generali- ties about the geometry of nature, through his wanderings among the realms of thought, with wit upon one side and pathos on the other, to the very end, which was an earnest and eloquent prayer for the perpetuation of the Union. Col. Watterson was introduced by the Vice Presiient as a man who needed no introduction. Surely those who heard him last night will never need another, for his words sank deep in their minds, to bring forth gocd fruit in the case of many. —_s——_. A Former Washingtonian Dead. News has been received here of the death in New Yerk on Saturday of Mr. William P. Martin, formerly of this city. Mr. Martin was many years in‘charge of the printing of the illustrations in the government print- ing office. He left here about four years ago to superintend similar work for the Il- lustrated American. Mr. Martin represented the Pressmen’s Union of this city at their Louisville convention in 1877 and was a prominent visitor at many of the subse- quent meetings of the International Typo- graphical Union. He was a prominent mem- ber of the Columbia Athletic Club of this city and of the New York Pressmen’s Union. Se Tees Generous Little Ones.

A Colored Minister Expresses His Views on the Negro Problem. Rev. Dr. D. P. Seaton, pastor of Ebenezer Church, Georgetown, preached a sermon yesterday on the condition of the negro in America and the agencies necessary to his salvation. He claimed that the Chris- tian church was mainly responsible for the woes of the colored people. His text was taken from Psalm 1i1:1,2,8; “Lord, how are mine enemies increased; many are they that rise up agairst me.” He regretted that it had become necessary for him to criticise the Christian church. He felt cer- tain that many healthful. changes had of late been wrought in the condi- tion of the negro. He had hoped that the dreadful ills chrough which his people had passed, such as lynchings and burnings, had come to an end, but the press was once more filled with accounts of these barbarities.” > “I must, with a bowed head and sorrow- ful heart, acknowledge that the church of our land, although it professes to be in direct communion with God, is much to blame for many of the obstacles in the path of negro progress. I assert that a religion which denies fellowship to man because he is bleck is not the church of God, and that a Christianity that teaches its followers to look with contempt ppon those who are burdened with wrongs is not the Christianity that the Lord Jesus sought to establish Dr. Seaton declared that human slavery would never have existed here, that there would have been no fratracidal war, and there would have been no social, political or religious discriminations against the colored people, had these wrongs not been indorsed by the Christian church. There would have been few roastings, and other inhuman tortures against a pecple ground under the heel of prejudi ais ranpeass E Good Templars Meeting. Independent Lodge, I. O. G. T., met Fri- day evening in Odd Fellows’ Hall on 3ist street, Georgetown. There was a large at- tendance of its members, as well as many visitors from other lodges of the city.

A New York Pastor. The pulpit of the Metropolitan M. E. Church was occupied yesterday by Rev. J. M. Hudson, pastor of the Church of Strangers, New York. In the evening his text was “How God Speaks to Human Na- ture.” God reveals Himself by the process- es which are known to human nature. It was like the ruling of a mother’s love. She ruled as queen of the affections. God must rule as king. To win our way into God’s love we must know His laws and remem- ber that there are laws im heaven which must be obeyed. —____ Talking to Young Men. Rey. George Eliot of the Dumbarton Ave- nue Church, Georgetown, gave a talk to the members of the Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon. He chose as his subject, “Young Men,” under which title he will talk on each Sunday in February. Dr. Eliot held that the fortunate young man was the un- fortunate one. Adversity, said he, is the exercise in which the moral and mental fiber is strengthened and built up, just as the hard work that usually accompanies ad- versity builds up a strong and healthy body. i Real Estate Matters.

PINAFORE BY CHILDREN. The National Theater Crawded to Wit- ness an Excellent Performance. A larger audience never filled the New National Theater than that which assem- bled on Saturday afternoon to witness the juvenile performance of Gilbert & Sullivan’s “Pinafore,” which was given for the bene- fit of the National Homeopathic Hospital. The performance was worthy of the audi- ence, for it went through without a single break, all the little ones sustaining their parts with the ease and dignity of profes- sional singers. The tuneful melodies of this charming opera were given with excellent effect and proved that the children had been carefully drilled as to the musical score, while the acting and stage business of both cast and chorus showed that nothing had been left undone to make the representation @ success. In fact, a new set of scenery had been specially painted for this occasion, to add to the attractiveness of the represen- tation. The leading parts of Josephine and Ralph were taken by Marie Howe and Lee Cox, both of whom gained great applause for their excellent work. Little Miss Howe Sustained the same character at the per- formance that was given last spring, and even then showed remarkable talent, both in singing and acting, but her performance Saturday was an improvement upon that. She has gained in ease of manner and grace- fulness of movement, while her voice is broader and clearer, and she sang the dif- ferent solos with excellent effect. Especially noticeable was her rendition of “The Hours Creep on Apace” in the second act. Master Cox has a voice of remarkable purity and sweetness, and he made a manly looking sailor, fulfilling all the requirements of the part and acting with spirit and effect. In his scenes with Josephine he responded to all the stage business and made the love- making quite realistic. He showed the re- sult of careful and earnest preparation, and both in solo and concerted passages was effective. In the duets “Refrain, Audacious Tar,” and “Farewell, My Own,” the quality of his voice was particularly apparent. Mas- ter Paul Sperry was a manly Captain Cor- coran and sang and acted with much spirit. He received an emphatic. encore for his ex. cellent rendition of the song “Fair Moon” at the commencement of the second act. Fred Hazard, as Sir Joseph Porter, seemed to have a full comprehension of the humor- ous dignity of the part, was clear and dis- tinct in his enunciation and the ad- miral’s music most effectively. Harold Tra- cy gave the same careful and artistic rep- resentation of Dick Deadeye that gained for him so much credit at the performance last spring. Burton Garrett was as effective as Bill Bobstay as at the first representation of this opera, and an encore naturally fol- lowed his spirited singing of “He is an En- glishman.” Walton Goodwin was an effec- tive Bob Beckett, and little Minnie West, a tiny mite of foifr years, was the cutest mid- shipmite that has ever been seen. Miriam Stodart repeated her success as Little But- fereup and sang and acted with excellent ef- fect. Helen Winter made an,effective and cun- ning Hebe, and her one little song elicited great applause. The two aunts, Ethel Tay- lor and Mabel Foster, looked remerkably sweet, while the marines, J. Schnoop, M. Horne, A. Sullivan, J. Daly and L. Castell, who are members of the Gonzaga College Cadets, put up a very effective silent drill. The chorus was large and effective and did all of its work in the most satisfactory manner. Burton Garrett gained additional applause by his excellent singing of the “Tar’s Farewell” between the acts and re- ceived, perhaps, the most pronounced en- core of the whole performance. Little Wil- lie Collier danced a sailors’ hornpipe in the first act in a manner which was remarka- ble in one so young, and between the acts a hornpipe was danced by Emma Heinrichs and a sailors’ dance by Mabel Owen, Lizzie Rudd, May Madigan, Marguerite O'Toole, Annie May O'Toole, Ethel Atkinson, Elsie Lower, Willie Collier and Arial Chapman. All the principals received a large num- ber of floral tributes, but the most exten- sive was a large floral ship, upon the base of which was inscribed “H. M. 8, Pina- fore.” This was sent up to Josephine at the end of her solo in the second act, and was altogether too heavy for the little lady to manage. Capt. Corcoran came gallantly forward, and between them they managed to get Jt over the footlights, amid the ap- plause of the audience. Great credit for the performance is due to Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard, the musi- cal director, who brought both cast and chorus to such a high degree of vocal ex- cellence; to Mr. Willis B. Magruder, who so intelligently directed the stage manage- ment; to Prof. J. H. Vermilya, who super- intended the arrangement of the dances; to Mr. Halstead P. Hoover, the pianist, and Mr. A. A. Sousa, who acted as assistant stage manager. Praise should also be given to the ladies of the committee under whose direction the performance was given, par- ticularly to Mrs. Harrison Dingman, the chairman, and Mrs. A. F. Childs, the treas- urer, both of whom were indefatigable in their efforts and were constant in their at- tendance at all the rehearsals. The chorus included the following children: Helen Bir- ney, Beulah Boernstein, Estelte Ellis, Emma Heinrichs, Marjorie Keefe, Nellie Martin, Bertie Muth, Kate Toumey, Alice Wood, Sallie Wood, Pauline Bliss, Bertha Cole- man, Agnes Geyer, Marie Hodgson, Louise Ketcham, Sarah Morrison, Frances Sander, Ethel Wardle, Lillie Wood, Marion West, Palmer Ballenger, Sylvester Cassell, Hor- ace Custis, Berkeley Geyer, Alfred Hamp- son, Ralph Johnston, Harry Lowe, Ollie Polkinhorn, Francis Sullivan, Frank Tuck- er, Harry Wardle, James Birney, Gregg Custis, Jesse Finley, Earl Godwin, Charlie Hendley, Clarence Lewis, Willis Magruder, Harry Stevens, Paul Tharp, Otto Veerhoff, Martie Watson and Horace Winter. So great was the desire to witness the performance and so many were unable to attend that it is not unlikely that it will be repeated at no distant day. a AMUSEMENTS. Boston Symphony Orchestra.—The concert to be given at Metzerott Hall tonight by the Boston Symphony Orchestra will be thoroughly enjoyable, as the appearance of this excellent body of musicians in this city is always warmly welcomed. The new conductor, Mr. Emil Pauer, has proved himself a thorough musician, and has al- ready obtained a firm hold upon every community that the orchestra visits. The program, which has already been pub- lished, is one which will prove satisfac- tory. The Three Dukes.”—A dress, rehearsal of “The Three Dukes,” the comic opera which is to be presented at the New Na- tional Theater tomorrow afternoon for the benefit of the Emergency Hospital, was held at the theater yesterday afternoo. music stores, and the number already sold indicates that there will be a large atten- dance. pment ae A Ch Tournament. The tournament for the Libbey cup and the championship of the District of Colum- bia begins tomorrow evening at the Wash- ington Chess Club, 919 and 921 F street. The cup is a handsome silver urn-shaped affair, and is the gift of Mr. Frank Lib- bey of this city. Two tournaments will be held in each year to decide upon its tem- porary ownership, and any Washington amateur winning it three times in succes- sion will be entitled to retain it perma- nently. a At St. Cecilia’s Academy. On the evening of the 2d instant a con- cert, complimentary to the sisters of St. Cecilia’s Academy, 601 East Capitol street, was given by the Hanlein Orchestra.

THE EASTERN DISPENSARY. Its Opening Celebrated by 2 Japanese Tea and Reception. ‘The opening of the new Eastern Dispen- sary building at 217 Delaware avenue north- east was celebrated Friday afternoon and evening by a reception and Japanese tea by the lady managers. The reception rooms were tastefully decorated and no pains spared to make it pleasant for those who called. The dispensary is designed to treat ex- clusively those only who are unable to af- ford needed medical or surgical treatment, and each case is carefully investigated. Although situated near the Capitol, it is not intended to be exclusively for that por- tion of the city, but will attend to calls upon it from any portion. If is open daily except Sunday, from 1 to 8 p. m., and the staff of physicians and surgeons includes many of the leading members of the medi- cal profession of the city. The building where the dispensary is now located has been leased with the privilege of purchase, and it is proposed to establish, in connec- tion therewith, an emergency hospital, which is much needed in that portion of the city. It is purely a -charitable institution, —_ every encouragement should be given There is a very efficient board of direc- tors, the officers being: Mr. Chas. C. Lan- caster, president; Mr. Henry K. Simpson, secretary, and Mr. Geo. F. Harbin, treas- Too much credit cannot be given to the board of lady managers, who are putting forth every effort to make the institution @ success and promote the cause of true charity. * ‘The following ladies compose the board: Mrs. G.

Those who have seen examples of the work of Miss Elizabeth Nourse and the many who are more or less acquainted with her career will be glad that an opportunity is to be given of seeing it comprehensively. Mr. V. G. Fischer today opens an exhibition of some sixty of Miss Nourse’s pictures at his gallery, 529 15th street. Miss Nourse is a thoroughly trained painter, and her work has the solidity and vigor usually supposed to belong peculiarly to that of men; but it also excels in the — and tender qualities. There is a lepth of feeling and sentiment which can- not fail to please those who, perhaps, would not also entirely appreciate the sound tech- nique underlying. Miss Nourse's experience of six years in Europe has been such as to place her in the front rank of young American painters. Her work has attracted the flattering at- tention of many noted artists and has been exhibited repeatedly at the Paris Salon, the London Royal Academy and the Munich Kunst Ausstellung. At Chicago Miss Nourse received a medal for her admirable exhibit. She was for a time a pupil at the Julien School in Paris and afterward worked under the celebrated painter, Carolus Duran; but, by his advice, her studies were, for the most part, carried on independently. She had been well grounded in the rudiments before going abroad. So, living in Paris, Italy, Holland and other parts of Europe, Miss Nourse has followed art with a single- ness of purpose and a steddfast devotion which, being gifted with rare talent and a beautiful character, has resulted in the pro- duction of works which, it is to be hoped, will meet the same recognition in Washing- ton as in the art centers of Europe. RE REEDS, Why He Sues for Damages. Austin S, Noel, formerly a postal clerk between Washington and Charlotte, N. C., by Messrs. Cook and Sutherland, entered suit against the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company Saturday for $20,000 damages. He claims that on February 3, 1891, while sorting the mail in the depot yard here a shifting engine struck the car in_which he was, throwing him against a table and breaking the stove. Being unable to rebuild the fire he caught cold on the trip and was otherwise injured and, becom- ing deaf, lost his position. —_.——__ Convicted of Perjury. The pension bureau received a dispatch from Norfolk, Va., Saturday, stating that Anna Barkett and Mary H.
