Jones, ex-member of the legislature of Virginia. The president of the lyceum, Thos. L. Jones, called the meeting to order promptly at 30 o'clock, and in an able and eloquent address intro- duced the speaker of the evenin; The ex- ‘member was brimful of logic, and was evidently inspired by the appearance of the distinguished audience that greeted him. In the course of his remarks he ad- vised his hearers to cease criticism and finding fault with his white brother, but to gird about him the mantle of self reliance, go to work and get something that the white man wanted, and he would then be respected and accorded all the rights guar- amteed to him by our Constitution. At the conclusion of his remarks Messrs. Thomp- som, Boston, Ingram, Gasa’ y and others made brief addresses. the debate in a strong appeal for a liberal contribution. - Officer Elected.

It was, indeed, a scene of beauty. Lovely girls, lovely decorat lovely music, and, in fact, almost ev hing that could be lovely was seen at the opening of the fair and bazaar of the Old Guard last evening | in the Washington Light Infantry Armory. | The object of the fair ts a worthy one. , Since its organization, in 1880, the command | has owned but one style of uniform, and after fourteen years of service, that is sad- lly dilapidated. As ts its custom, the Old | Guard will this r attend in a body the annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which is to pe held at Pitts- burg during next September, and as the need of a new uniform has become almost @ necessity, and also in order that the old boys may make a prop*r showing in the | smoky city, the bazaar is being held to se- cure the wherewithal to ciothe them. The gaiety will continue tor the next two weeks. Although the time advertised for opening the affair was 8:30 o'clock, nearly an hour earlier a large crowd was in attendance. A very great number of persons flocked about | the booth occupied by the Bohemian glass | blowers from the world’s fair. Then, at the eastern end of the hall, was a novelty for | a fair room, It consisted of an exhibition from Schmid’s bird store, and comprised specimens of pigeons aad fowls. Surmount- ing the display appeared a festive young monkey, that greatly amused the specta- tors. Martial strains were heard «t and a moment later half a ‘hundred of the Old Guard, headed by Capt. Edgar and the Kit Carson fife and drum corps, parched into the hall. They were drawn up at com- pany front before the speakers’ stand at the western end of the room, «nd Senator Charlies F. Manderson, Capt. Edgar, Col. Clay, Col. Dewees, Comrade Pipes, Judge Mills, Col. Lincoin, Lieut. Hendricks, John F. Berger, Lieut. Hoover, A, N. Thompson, Frank Botts and Lieut. Hendricks’ little son, attired in Fauntleroy costume, took seats on the platform. The drum corps impressively sounded all the army calls, from reveille to taps, after which Capt. Edgar arose, and said: “Com- rades, ladies and gentlemen—The hour has arrived when the eight weeks of active work done by our various commi culminate in starting the machinery of this fair. I thank you for your attendance and your encouragement, and I regret very much to say that* by reason of the limited time the arrangements are still incomplete. I guarantee, however, that within the next twenty-four hours such an arrangement will be made that has never been equaled in this capital city of the United States. The gentleman who fs to formally open the fair is a friend and an advocate of the soldier. I now introduce to you Comrade Charles F. Manderson, United States Senator from Ne- braska.” Senator Manderson. Amid applause, Mr, Manderson, ex-pres- ident pro tempore of the United States Sen- ate, advanced to the front. “My comrades, ladies and gentlemen—but, perhaps, I should | have omitted the ladies and embraced them as comrades,” he began. “L was wondering if the bugle calls we have just heard means anything to the younger generation of to- day. Probably to It there was nothing thrill- ing, the past was not recalled; but to us, how much does eacb one mean? When reveille sounded I fancied I could see my old comrades here rubbing their eyes, as though awakening in the brisk morning air. At sick call, I imagined I could see the faces you used to make after swallowing that army quinine, and at as- mbly, I thought I heard again that sharp ‘fall in, bo: 1 am glad the manager of this fair started with reveille, and I nope when taps is sounded at the end of two weeks It will be upon the grandest success that has ever taken place here. “I was thinking today,” continued the Senator, “what anniversary it marked, end I remembered that on March 12, ‘1864, Gen. U. S. Grant went to take command of the armies of the United States. This is indeed a most auspicious anniversa-y for opening your fair—it means good luck. “I like the name Old Guard,” the speaker said in conclusion. “It recalls the old guard at Waterloo under Napoleon. I see before me men who served unde: Sheridan, Meade, Logan, Sherman, Rosecrans und | Thomas, but I must cease. I now declare this fair open. ow open up your cam- paign, and may victory be yours.” The Fair Open. Capt. Edgar proposed three cheers for Senator Manderson, which were given with a will, The orchestra started to play “The Star Spangled Banner,” and the fair was formally open. The thirteen booths, named for the original thirteen states of Delaware, Penn- sylvanfa, New Je-sey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina. New Hampshire, Virginia, New York. North Caroiina and Rhode Island, -esemble a row of beautifully decorated tents, made doubly attractive by their fair occupants. Then there is a lemonade well, a flower stand, a gipsy tent, an Old Guard musee, a post office, an art gallery, a swing, a | supper room, and the always-popular pad- | dle stand. A display of groceries, coffees | teas and table luxuries, an exhibition by Saks & Co., four of Spaulding’s bicycles \ | Midway Plaisance, are also Well worn jooking at. An exhibition of war photo- g@caphs is expected to arrive today from Connecticut. Some Attractions. | Many valuable articles have been donated by friends, both here and abroad, and the Washington merchants have shown their interest in the Old Guard by making con- tributions. The articles to be voted for are: One grand piano, value $500; billiard table, complete; Knights of form; gold-mounted sword :diamond-stud Mystic Shrine badge; gold-headed one boys’ and one ladies’ bicycle atch for page in the House of ntatives; silver tilting ice pitcher; ir ladies" value $10; et to Pit E tackle and several voting will begin this evening, soliciting with books is to be allow ving the ev under t Bes rendered encore the * lded ane; gold | | amd no 1. ning the G.

He said in Asbury Hall would be placed a large brass tablet, upon Which the names of all the donors would be engraved.

The present session of Congress is pretty | hard on members and Senators, but the Strain does not cease there. Its effects | were demonstrated last week in a pecu- | liar direction. The Senate pages began to ; Succumb to the encroachments of the | mumps, and on Thursday the climax was reached, when eight of the little feliows, | or half the entire force, were on the sick list. There were six cases of mumps, one | of grip and one of indigestion. Yet the youthful statesmen were plucky, and four of the invalids refused to surrender and go home. They were ordered to the rear, however, when the news of their ailment spread, and Senators began to quake for fear of an inordinate spread of swell head in their ranks. Today, however, all but | two of the pages were back on duty, and the grave crisis was passed. ees Sa A HORRIBLE REVENGE. A Woman Pou Sealding Water on Her Husband's Face. A retaliatory punishment that was bar- |barous in its severity was on Saturday (night inflicted upon Henry Butler, a col- ored whitewasher, residing on Fenwick's nil. The man had come home intoxicated and assaulted his wife. She threatened to fix” him, and when he fell across the bed about 8 o'clock, doubly unconscious from sleep and drink, she took a kettle from ‘the stove and poured a quantity of the seeth- ing contents over his upturned face. The effect was horrible. Of such intensity was the water's temperature that the left ear was nearly eaten off. The. left cheek, though, seemed to catch the bulk of the water, and in addition to having the skin turned up in rolls all over it, in many places the flesh opened wide and deep. The eyelids, which had also been affected by the water, were closed until yesterday. It is thought that the sight has not been in- jured, seriousiy, but the left cheek and ear will, no doubt, be filled with repulsive scars for life. The victim of the woman's revenge has been generally looked upon as a peace- able fellow, though he admitted to The Star man that he had probably aggravated his wife when he came home on Satur- day, | | —_~>__ Pygmalion and Galatea in Germa The German Dramatic Club will present at Willard Hail next Thursday evening for the benefit of the poor Gilbert's famous comedy of “Pygmalion and Gatate Mr. Frank Claudy, the jovial president of the club, has devoted months to a careful translation of the original into German, and, coming from the pen of this accom- plished gentleman, who has given us one of the best translations, of Goethe's “Faust,” we may be assured that che version given will do justice to the original. The play has been in active rehearsal for some time, under the supervision of Miss Anita Schade, who herself assumes the part of Galatea. Much of the best talent of the club is included in the cast, which is in full as follows: Pygmalion, Mr. Rothseniid; Galatea, Miss Schade; Chrysor, Mr. Con- ley; Daphne, Miss A. Burchard; Leucippe, Mr. Boeiter; Myrine, Miss Stalnaker; C nisca, Miss Rettig; Agesimus, Mr. H. Schede, and Mainos, Mr. F. Schade. The scenic arrangements are to be in keeping with the pretensions of the 80 as to form an appropriate setting for this pro- duction. A select musical program will add to the attraction of the evening, Mrs. Roemer Kaspar, Mrs. Prof. Naumann, Mr. J. J. Fisher, Prot. Wm. Waldecker and others having volunteéred their aid. ——e Funeral of Wm. E. Leeman. The funeral of the late William E.

SHELBY’'S FIST| /It Went Up and Grazed Mr. Johnson's Cheek. Miss Pollard’s Attorney Assaulted by One of Col. Breckinridge’s Counsel— A Lively Time for a Few Minutes. The most exciting scenes in connection with the already sensational Breckinridge- Pollard case occurred late yesterday after- noon, a brief mention of which was made in The Star postscript. Wari words were spoken, blows were struck, and when order | was brought out of chaos for the time be- | ing, it was realized that the end was not reached yet, and that there would probably be further developments when court began today. The trouble all grew out of the ar- gument of counsel on the two sides as to the propriety of admitting certain deposi- tions taken in Kentucky early this month. ‘Phe question of admitting these deposi- tions hinged upon the other question whether a notice served by the prosecution upon Mr. Shelby of Lexington, Ky., of their intention to take depositions, was birdirg upon the defense, that is, wheth: Shelby was really a “counsel of After The Star's report of the trial yester- day concluded, and Mr. Butterworth had finished his argument against the admis- sion of the depositions, Mr. Johnson began his argument on behalf of the plaintiff. Judge Bradley was about to excuse the jury for the day, when Mr, Johnson sug- gested that, as the jury had had the bene- fit of Mr. Butterworth’s remarks, they should be allowed to hear what would fol- low on behalf of the piainult. Mr. Johnson's Sironz Remarks. He stated that to the other side the words “counsel of record” seemed to have some magic about them. Mr. Shelby had undoubtedly been authorized to act on be- halt of the defendant in the taking of depo- sitions, and he could not have, as seemed to be impiied, a certain limitation, a n.ost improper limitation, remarked Mr. Joha- son, The opjection urged by Cefendant’s counsel, it seemed to Mr. Johnson, was too trifling to need to be argued. At many places when depositions were being taken, neither the defendant nor any of Lis coun- sel were present, ana Mr, Johnson de- nounced the present objection as a piece of chicanery, which he had every reason. to believe would fail. At one time he nad been kept waiting one whole day by defendant's | counsel, and when he insisted that - the taking of the depositions should be adjourn- ed sine die, the defendant, in the person of a Mr. Allen, was well enough represented to object. At another time Mr. Shelby, while disclaiming any authority to repre- sent the defendant, had sufficient authority to object to the commissioner proceeding. Mr. Johnson referred to the defendant's representatives as “chopped off” attorneys. The urging of objection now on the grounds stated by defendant's counsel, remarked Mr. Johnson, was nothing less than Inso- lence, The truth of the whole matter was, | said Mr. Johnson, that the defendaat had thrown all manner of obstacles in the way of takirg of many of the depositions, ond now wished the court to sustain him in such practices. If the court would care- fully read the deposition, it would quickly see that that was on the part of the de- fendant a far greater reason why it should be suppressed than he had mentioned. Without concluding his argument, the trial was adjourned until this morning. Bad Blood Mauifested. It was evident before court adjourned that a deal of bad blood had been engendered. “This court is adjourned until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock,” said Judge Bradley. Mr. Shelby, who was evidently very much put out by Mr. Johnson's references to | trickery and chicanery, instantly rose to his feet and demanded to be heard. “This court is adjourned until tomorrow in a rather stern voice. It was evident he was not going to permit any foolishness to go on before him. Col. Breckinridge Turned Dow: Col. Breckinridge walked up to Judge Bradley's place before the latter had left the court. He spoke a few words in a low tone of voice. His words were inaudible to those about him, but it is probable that he was expostulating about something—it is easy to guess what. In a gold, hard voice, Judge Bradley “turned him down.” all} that could be heard were his concluding words, “You, sir. It was something Ike | “I do not know you, si or “i do not rec- ognize you, sir.” Whatever the words my have been, it was a sharp reprimand. Col.

The audience was an appreciative one, too, and made it pleasant for the stage folk. As a} compliment to the Elks, Miss Helena Mora, the famous barytone, came over from the Lyceum and sang a number of songs at the close of the second act, and was enthusias- tically received. A beautiful Mberty bell of flowers was presented to her. Of the play it may be said that it is of the strongly dramatic character which marks all the work of Victor Hugo, and in the hands of Mme. Rhea and her company all its strong points are brought out. Rhea as La Gio- conda is a bright and pretty picture, which is turned to the wall at last, and death stalks through the latter part of the play. At the close of the second act she was call- ed before the curtain and received a miag- nificent basket of flowers with the best wishes of the Elks and everybody else. Mr. W. S. Hart as Homodel, the dwarf, is a forceful actor, and the contrast between him and the beautiful actress of Padua strengthens both roles. John Fay Palmer is a handsome and dignified governor, and Mr. Benson H. Pierce is an impetuous lover,who does not forget his art in his passion. Miss Bowen's Catherine merited much praise. In the cast, which is a strong one, are Mr. Hart, Mr. Palmer, Mr. Pierce, Mr. Cou- miers, Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Ridgely, Mr. O'Mara, Mr. Bowen, Miss Bowen, Miss Wil- lard and Mme. Khea. Tonight “Josephine” will be presented, and in this play Khea is seen on her nat: heath, so to speak. New National Theater.—“The Second Mrs. Tanqueray” made her appearance at the New National Theater last night. 1t was an interesting occasion, as it is the first presentation by Mr. and Mrs. Kendal in Washington of any roje ‘which could posst- bly meet with criticism on moral grounds, so steadfast have they been in keeping in the path of correctness. It was never sus. pected that they would consent to attack the naughty public at what theater fclk claim is its most susceptible point, and give them a play which fastens attention by the daring of its social obliquity. So calm were the feelings of the people in the assur- ance that Mr. and Mrs, Kendal could al- ways be depended upon for plays to which the most correct people might go unblus! ingly that ‘Fhe Second Mrs. Tanqueray” came like a clap of thunder in a clear sky. The play was talked of a long time before it got to Washington, and its theme and the treatment of it were pretty well un- derstood. The fact that the audience lust night was not so large as it usually is the | first of the week at the National might be due to this cause, or to the exceptfonal strength of the attractions elsewhere. “The Second Mrs. Tanqueray’s” raison d’ etre is i. There is no extraordinary poetic power which excuses its improprietry,neith- er does it show Mr. and Mrs. Kendal at their best, for these performers are happiest When they appeal to healthful sentiment. It is their fortunate allotment of talent to be most at home and most liked when they deal with honest humanity. There ts no earthly reason why they sh the morbid.

His lecture itself was eloquent, at umes almost poetic, and although it oc- cupied less than two hours one would get more real information about Japan than many do from the perusal of many books. Yokohama, ‘Tokio and the sacred hill of Japan furnished the subjects for the bet- ter part of his discourse, although he took his hearers for a number of pleasant little trips into the interior of the country in Jinrickishas.
