These will be the first thanksgiving serv- jices the Odd Fellows have ever held in Georgetown. Old Ca) Claims. A committee of prominent Marylanders were yesterday before the ways and means committee of the Maryland legislature in the interest of Lamar’s canal claim bill. They wanted it so amended as to include all valid subsisting judgments as well as all labor claims contracted for since 1878, and instead of appropriating any money to pay said claims to simply waive the state's liens in their favor. it was argued that though the state had contributed $7,- 000,000 to the bullding of the canal it had been amply repaid for its investment by in- crease of taxes and the rise in value of land in the counties passed through by the waterway. Affidavits were read showing AMUSEMENTS. | Albaugh’s.—The jolly ‘Prodigal Father’ appeared at Albaugh’s last night and prov- ed entertaining as usual. The play is purely | for purposes of laughter, and the audience responded to the clever points which are ‘so numerous in it with ready enthusiasm. know how to be comical. | made himself thoroughly liked by his good | work. Hattie Earles is vivacious and clever in the role of the variety actress. George C. Boniface is the capable comedian that he always is, and in the “Prodigal Father” develops a fund of effervescence that is |apparently inexhaustible. The company is a carefully organized one, and there ts no one in it who does not claim admiring attention for one reason or another. Geo. | Gaston is especially smooth and entertain- | ing in the part of the broken-down actor, | and his bit of specialty work with the piano embellishments proved one of the best hits that have been recently made. Irene Frank- , ln is a bright youngster, who arouses as }much amusement by her pranks on the | stage a3 her prototype does indignation by her mischief in real Hfe. The “Prodigal Father” is not clamorous in its claim to | recognition as an educator in the lofty | branches, but it is beyond question one of | the most effective pieces of diversion that | the stage can offer. “America.""—One of the most remarkable features among the numerous points of | exceptional interest made known in the | great production of “America,” which 1s | to be seen in Washington for the first time next week, is afforded by the Schaefer fam- iily of acrobats, jugglers and all-around | entertainers, who have for years occupied |the foremost position in their line in all | Europe. The elder Schaefer not alone ac- |complishes unparalleled feats in the line | of athletics, jugglery and legerdemain, but | has recently developed a peculiarly effective skill in the use of firearms that puts Dr. Carver's greatest exhibitions to the blush. The Schaefers were prevented in New York from giving their entire entertainment, which 1s, however, apparently harmless enough to the partici ts, and which has been received with great enthusiasm wher- ever it hus been seen. The show, of which the Schaefers form a part, is an immense institution in the amusement line. Fully |500 people are employed, together with horses and other animals, and an entire | Special train is required for the transporta- tion of the show from place to place. Re- i from Chicago, New York and Phila- lelphia, where “America” has hitherto been | Seen, indicate that it is dazzlingly presented |as to scenery, costumes and properties.

Mr. Lamar objects to including old judg. ments in his bill. He said they were of an entirely different character from the claims he intended to cover in his bill. The pey- ment of these original claims is being asked for by men who lost their fortunes with the canal. The labor claims are a lien on the revenues: and resources of the canal. His bill asks for but $55,000, $50,000 of it and 1889, and which the legislature of March, 1890, made provision for under cer- tain conditions. His bill changes these conditions and asks that the claims be protected in any event, as it is not fair to have labor claims com- plicated with olq judgments of a different legal and equitable standing. Many of the claims covered by Mr. La- mer’s bill are held by Georgetowners, who are watching with considerable interest the progress of the biil through its path of leg- islation.

A number iS other fistic lights appear in conjunction with him. Parson Davies has a prominent | Place in the cast, and Joe Choynski is Jack- |Son’s opponent in the sparring exhibition | which is given. Choynski is a man with a well-known record, and was selected for the work because he is one of the few men | who could stand it. The bout ts a very | lively one, and gives one of the best ideas }of an actual encounter that it is possible jto obtain. It has been many years since “Uncle Tom's Cabin” was presented in | this city, and care has been taken to have | the production a complete one. Not only are the characters taken by competent actors, but the people who impersonate the slaves give entertainments in the line of | singing and dancing which are said to be unsurpassed by the best variety organiza- tions.

The services in honor { close tonight. A Railroad Bill. The Baltimore and Ohio's bill asking for @ southern extension via Manassas, which today will be considered in the Virginia legislature, is a@ subject of interest among Georgetowners. Though there are five trunk lines carrying freight to the west, there is but one direct one south, and the great need for additional facilities is seea at every de- parture of a train. account of this lack of freight facilities, Short Paragraphs, Spirited revival services are being con- ducted this week in the Second Baptist Church, 26th street above P, under the leadership of Brother Lemore. A great number of the heretofore indifferent have of Biessed Rudolph } ing great fruit. Yesterday morning early Miss Amelia C. Beck, daughter of Mrs. Catharine Beck of M street, died, bringing genuine and uni- vel regret among a very large circle of ; #equaintances. Miss Beck was a recent at- | tendant at the Western High School, and | possessed all the accomplishments incident to success in life.

Mary Howe's Concert.—Miss Mary Howe, the brilliant soprano, accompanied by her husband, Mr. Wm. Lavin, arrived in this city today, and is at the Normandie. Her concert at Metzerott Hall on Friday even- ing will be the musical event of the sea- son, as she comes to Washington fresh from her triumphs in Europe, and with a voice even fulier, rounder and more melodious in | tone than when she last sung here. There is no woman upon the concert stage who has so many elements of success. To a richly endowed vocal equipment she adds a beauty of face and figure rarely met with, and a winning grace of manner that com- pletely captivates her audiences. Miss | Howe will be assisted at her concert by | Mr. Lavin, Miss Leonora Von Stosch, the charming violinist, and others, and the pro- gram will be an unusually attractive one. | The seats, which are on sale at Metzerott’s, | are going rapidly, and there is every indl- ‘ded house.

No author is more popular in this city than | Mr. Riley, and he has been here so fre- quently that he is always welcomed as a | personal friend, and not as a mere public entertainer. Mr. Sherley is a Southern au- thor, who has made an excellent reputation for wit and humor, and is said to be an ex- cellent mate for Mr. Riley. Seats are sell- | ing rapidly at Metzerott’s. > Put Out Your Gas, To the Editor of The Evening Star: Your paper of this evening contains an account of two men who were nearly killed | by escaping gas. I do not, of course, know how this happened, but I do know how such accidents can easily happen, and are supposed to happen in other cities. People leave their gaslights burning at night; there | Is a sudden lowering of the pressure in the | pipes, and the light goes out (even when well turned on) letting the gas escape into the room. Though I have been in Wash- | ington but a few days, I have had such an | experience. The gas was lighted and fully | turned on in the sleeping room of my hotel, | when suddenly it went out, and soon after the gas was very disagreeably perceptible. | Fortunately I was at hand and awake at the time. I make this statement to warn people to put their gas out when they go to bed.

The city council last night received from the state senator and the delegate letters announcing their purpose not to recognize 4s binding any directions of the city coun- cil in regard to legislative business. Mr. Bendheim wrote that he would present and support amendments to the city char- ter when, in his judgment, it was right and proper to take that course, but he recognized no right or power in council to direct him how he should vote as a member of the legisiature. “Let,” he said, “the members of council take care of their. duties. I will continue to. take care of mine. I owe my election to the people and to them alone am I responsible.” The council adopted a resolution to have read in the legislature the resolutions of coun- cil relative to changing the charter.

The attorney for the corporation reported that there is sufficient publi¢ dedication of Pitt street south of Franklin as far as Jeffer- son street. This will allow the city to open that street one square to the south instead of to the corporation line, as was at first proposed. An appropriation of $75 to the salary of Mr. Wm. Shock, overseer of the outdoor r, was made, and a proposal for asking the railway managers to reduce the time of watchmen at street crossings from fourteen to twelve hours per day was laid over, aS was a proposal to macadamize certain streets in the southwest section of the city instead of laying them in shells, as was ordered by the council some time since. The county court has just closed a single day’s session. Jessie H. Wi!son and T. B. Gewell were admitted to practice in the court. On the probate side the last will of Gilbert Vanderworken was probated,with J. E. Grunweil, Emma Gewell and Ellen Truitt as executrixes. M. B. Harlow and G. W. Glassbury were appointed a commis- sion to view a new road from Four Mile ‘Run to a portion of Mt. Vernon avenue. The case of Edward Fox S .E, Clement, for unlawful detainer, was determined for the defendant by a jury. The court will not meet again until near the close of March. The Ladies’ Auxillary to Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans will be organized next, Monday at Peabody Hall. Hereafter, by a new act of the general assembly, the circuit court, Judge Keith, will hold three sessions in this city, instead of two, as heretofore, in each year. It is understood that the order of Judge Keith in the case of Fletcher against the Deis Manufacturing Company will be car- ried into effect, and that the case will not go to the court of appeals. About the first week in April, or soon after the close of the Lenten season, a num- ber of the society ladies of Alexandria have in contemplation the giving of an en- tertainment for the benefit of the charity fund of that city. A meeting was held yes- terday morning at the residence of Mrs. Harold Snowden for the purpose of dis- cussing the affair and making arrange- ments for early rehearsals of the various features. It was decided that the program shall consist of dramatic, historical and musical selections, to be rendered by local and Washington talent. Lannan’s Opera House has been secured for the occasion and no pains or expense will be spared in making it the most gor- gous and interesting entertainment of the kind given in Alexandria in the past few years. Among those present at the meeting yesterday morning were Mrs. Benoni Wheat, Mrs. Harold Snowden, Mrs. Henry Dangerfield, Mrs. William B. Dangerfield, Mrs. T. Marshall Jones and Mrs. J. D.
