Mr. Albert Wallace, who was eighty-two years old, died suddenly at the home of Mr. Lewis Baar, luué H street northwest, last | Friday evening. Mr. Wallace had deen for thirty years an employe of the gold room. Yesterday when a representative of the} chief clerk of the metropolitan police, to} whom his effects had been turned over by the coroner, opened a trunk belonging to the deceased, he found about $10,000 in cash. Some of this money was in old shin- plasters and coin, and it is supposed repre- sented Mr. Wallace's savings from his sal- ary for many years. So far as is known, Mr. Wallace leaves only two near relatives, a niece, who is a! school teacher in Boston, and a Mr. Beadle of Chicago, a relative by marriage, both of whom arrived here today to arrange for the burial. Mr. Wallace’s wife died in this city about fifteen years ago, and her remains were taken to New Hampshire, his old bome, for burial. It is supposed that his body will be taken there eventually, al- though it may be placed in a vault here at first. He had lived in Mr. Baar’s house for fifteen years and was extremely popular with the people in the neighborhood. When be returned from office Friday evening he complained slightly of ill-feeling, but was well enough to go to dine with a friend on @ side of the street and later to i 2 acquaintance. About cked by a stroke of apoplexy, from the effects of which he died almost instantly. Mr. Wallace was a personal friend of Senator Chandler, and had many acquaiat- ances among New Hampshire people. > A VERY Gay BELL. Presentation Program for the Light Infautry’s Handsome Gift.

The people were as full of enthusiasm as the house was full of people, too, and “America” went with a whirl from its discovery to the final grand epluribusunum climax. The day of criti- cising this, the greatest of all spectacles yet put on the American stage, has passed, and it has now come to the era of encomium. At Chicago it divided honors wity the fair it- self, and while it may suffer how by com- parison with its magnificent setting of the which @t Mt. Zion Church, West Washington. | Auditorium, it still is without a rival in the fleld of spectacle. It is a pictorial, musical, lyric, dramatic, saltatorial, spectacular, a! legorical history of America from the time Columbus discovered it until the date of Kiralty’s idea of making a scenic represen- tation of it. Carlotta Gilman, Clara Bur- ton, Bella McMillan, Florine Malcolm, sid- ney, Gracey and J. Gordon Edwards con- stitute the cast, which serves as a nucle: about which all the effec*s cluster. The fea- ture of the show is the athletic and juggling exhibition given by the Schaffer family, easily first of all similar troupes now before the public and really marvelous in their skill and grace. But why talk of “Ameri- ca?” It is one of the things that must be seen to be appre¢lated, and it will be at Al- baugh’s every wight this week. New National eater.—Real horses, real dogs, and what ts much better-than either, real actors, combined to make the per- formance of “The Prodigal Daughter” at over @ sea of real ice, nor were there two Uncle Toms. There was but one, yet he proved the attraction. This role was es- sayed by Peter Jackson, the well-known colored heavy-weight pugilist. As an actor Peter is by no means a failure. He handled his lines with becoming ease and showed that he had given the part careful study. During the performance he gave a sparring exhibition with Joe Choynski, the California pugilist. The three rounds were spirited and displayed the black’s wonderful shifting tactics. Parson Davies, in the dual role of the Auctioneer and George Harris, was ac- ceptable, as was the remainder of the con- pany. Again tonight. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The name of J. D. Hopkins is synonymous with a good variety show. This year he has outdone himself, and the performance presented last night at Kernan’s under bis management was by far the best variety entertainment in this city for years. Those clever entertainers, “The Evans’ opened the show with a pleasing comedy. Then came Fulgora, the man of many changes. Wil! H. Fox of- fered his inimitable specialty '‘Pader- whiskie” and set the audience wild. Again and again he was recalled. Then came tue Larsen Family, four ladies and one gentle- man, in @ parlor gymnastic entertainment that was marvelous. Tney stand at the tup of their specialty in the variety world. Kara, the world famous juggler, was next, and proved himself master of his art. Meiville and Stetson won merited applause. Miss Stetson’s voice was particularly pleasing. After several other specialties, the perform- ance closed with Clayton and Jenkins in the “Jaytown Circus.” Again tonight. Miss Welch's Lecture.—That great hero in early Spanish-American history, Bartolome | de las Casas, will be the subject of Miss Jane Meade Welch's lecture tomorrow morn- ing at 11 o'clock in the Builders’ Exchange Hall. So great has been the interest aroused in American history that Miss Weich will follow the present by another course of lectures, the subject of which is “Our Co- Jonial History.” given Saturday, at 11:80, when si about “A Plucky Little Colony The Patti Concert.—The real farewell of Mme. Adelina Patti will be given, so far as Washington {Is concerned, at Hall on Tuesday evening, the She was assisted by Mlle. tralto; Miss Engel, Durward Leley, baritone; Sig. will bea will talk Fabbri, con- mezzo soprano; Mr. tenor; Sig. Galassi, Novara, basso, grand orchestra, under 0 the direction of Sig. Arditi, and Sig. Masch- | eroni will be the stage director and ac- companist. The entertainment will consist of a miscellaneous concert program and the secoud act of “Martha,” to be given In cos- tume, with scenery, puraphernalia, &c. As the concert is to be given in Conven- tion Hall, the prices are arranged 80 as to come within the reach of all. There will be 2,000 seats reserved at $1, other seats wil! be } $2, and a limited number of the choicest seats at $3. The sale of seats will begin Thursday, at Metzerott’s music store. Miss Kate Field’s Lectures.—Miss Kate Field, the brilliant lecturer, will commence a serles of lectures in the banquet room of the Shoreham tonight. Her subject will be “Alaska” and she will no doubt present some new facts in regard to that country, of which but little is known, but which Is said to contain much that is interesting. The lectures tonight will be the first of a series of six, which Miss Field is to deliver. | The other subjects and the dates are as follows: March 13, “Mormonism March 20, “Intemperance of Prohibition March 24 “Charles Dickens; March 28, “Ameri- ca for Americans,” and April 3, “Eyes and Ears in London. -__ A New Lodge of Sons of St. George. A local branch of the Order of the Sons of St. George, to be known as Columbia Lodge, will be instituted this evening in Costello Hall by one of the grand officers from Philadeiphia. The officers of the lodge for the present year will be: Past president, James Stevens; president, Robert Stewart vice president, Frederick Carran; secretary, George Pratchett; assistant secretary, A. G. Smith; treasurer, John Taylor, and messen- ger, Thomas R. Jones. ——- To Settle a Church Trouble. The Mount Jezreel Baptist Church dif- culties will probably be settled tomorrow, when the pastors of thé different colored Baptist churches will meet and hear evi- dence ‘concerning the controversy. The church troubles have been ventilated in the Police Court a number of times, but Judge Miller's promise of a severe sentence the next time there was trouble restored order, and the only thing that has happened out of the usual order was the turning off of the gas. the National Theater last night one of sub- stantial merit. It is the sterling excellence of the cast that keeps the play from rank- ing in the mind of the spectator with the ordinary melodrama. But the company is one whicn does not make the excitement go with the wild, uncontrolled whoop which characterizes the production designed pure y for purposes of thrill. Every role of prom.- nence is performed with a judicious regard for artistic propriety. Leonard Boyne {s an | actor of ability, and he makes the character | of Capt. Vernon both interesting and ad- | mirable. Julius Knight, as a sort of as- | sistant hero, Ralph Delmore as the awful | and unmitigated villian, Russell Bassett as the humorous bookmaker, and Jeff de An- gelis In an effective comedy role, are all praiseworthy to more than the ordinary degree. Charles Coote sustained the repu- tation he has won in Washington as a com- petent character actor. Helen Dauvray was much liked by the audience, as she al- ways is, and altogether, there was a great deal in the performance to enjoy, besides that somewhat hackneyed effort in realism, the stage horse-race. Academy.—It wes “Darkest Russia” at the Academy last night, with a good house to enjoy it, and it was enjoyed, albeit dark- est Russia {s not enjoyable, as a rule, espe- cially to those who have to go to it. In this instance, however, Mr. Grattan Donnelly has written a play filled with contrasts of thrill and throb and sunshine and real laughter. The play is in four acts and touches upon the exile system and the cruel treatment of offenders in Russian prisons. It is “Siberia” on a different scale. The scenery is particularly good and the stage effects real enough to make the flesh creep. The love story which runs through it is complicated enough in all reason, but it turns out nicely and to the approved satia- faction of the audience. Mr. E. L. Daven- port, as Alexis, was a handsome Russian, man) had a part which she did with fine effect and in the true spirit. A pair of great favorites with the audience was Gen. Cobb of Kentucky (Harry Hawk) and the Baron- ess (Mme. Carina Jordan), and they made it light whenever they touched the darkest. Cordially hated by the gods was the Count- ess Karischeff, very well done by Miss Louise Rial, though her voice was affected by a cold. Mr. Sheridan Block’s Ivan was prescnted most acceptably. Everybody was called before the curtain vociferously at the close of the third act. Harris’ Bijou Theater—Harris’ Bijou made a record for itself last night. Every seat in the house, as well as every inch of available standing room, was occupied. The play was “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” There were Like a New Man ALDERMAN FREIENSEHNER TELLS HOW HE WAS CURED.

During 1802 the utmost a ity existed in all departments of industry, and the facilities of | ® transportation companies were unequal to the de- made upon them. -To relieve this condition of affairs upon your lines, the work of extending second third and fourth track east of Pittsburgh, and double track west of Pittsburgh,was prosecuted, with exceptional activity in the early part of the year; but, before y months had elapsed, there were marked indications t vious! the prosperity pre- existing was ou the eve of a change, which ret evidenced by @ severe fuancial disturb- cnanagement work on all new construc. lich and equipment, and instituted rigid and throug economies in every branch of the serv- ice. This policy resulted in maintaining the firences of your company in good condition, and will be pursued during the preseut year, unless the return of prosperity warrants a change ‘therelu. The policy of elevating or depressing the tracks 0 as to avoid grade crowsings was further carried out, resulting in the elimination of several danger- ous’ street crossings in the city of Philadelphia, and in considerable progress toward the elevation of your tracks in the city of Elizabeth, New Jersey. ‘The object sought to be attained, however, the large expenditures made in this direction, both by the railroads and the local authorities through- out the state, will be almost entirely defeated if the electric railways now being promoted through- out the country ere permitted to cross the steam rallways at grade, and thus create a new and most serious element of peril for the traveling publ It must be borne in mind that the entire move- ment on these electric railways te in the trans portation of pai and ‘that therefore Fisk of ‘ife and imb trom such crossings, owing to the frequent service, is prapertionssely much greater than on the steam railways, where the ent. trains are not nearly so fi movement. is made up Iv of freleht trafic. It would hardly seem reasonable that the electric, railways should be permitted to indefinitely tn- crease the number of these crossings, while at the same time your company and the city of Phila- delphia are expending over $400,000 to remove the ride crossings of sour road by the North Penn stivania railroad in the northern portion of the elty. | Haute aud quired for this pu: was obtained from the le bonds directly secured uy that 7. “Teor meat’ believing it, to be for the ex Four system to St. Louls, Rat time by lease Under the direct control of the tter corporation, in which you had mo terest: w jority of the stock of At had no voice im its management.
