Harvey, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Capt. Henry Sherwood, 1017 East Capitol street, on Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Harvey has been a great sufferer for some time, and death came in a peaceful slumber. Mrs. Harvey was a woman of re- Maerkable force of character, loving and affectionate in every manner. She contin- ued the business of undertaxing, which her husband was engaged in at the time of his death, on 7th street between G and H streets, and was called upon to officiate at the death of President Abraham Lincoln. Her many friends will regret to hear of her death. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon and interment was at Oak Hill. The pall-bearers were W. J. Murtaugh, John Hibbo Fred Sherwood, Alex. Duhey, Joseph Hodgson and Theo. F. Shackels. a A Jonadab Visitation.

The Washington Civic Center of the Na- tional Union for Practical Progress, a new society organized for a great and good cause, heid a meeting last evening in the j lecture hall of the Columbian University. |The occasion was an assemblage of the (clergymen and the heads of the various | charitable and reform organizations of the city, im response to circulars distributed among them asking their aid in the forma- tion of a branch in Washington of the so- ciety, which has for its object the consoli- @ation of progressive citizens for the pur- pose of raising the morals of the nation. The officers of this branch are Rev. Alex- ander Kent, chairman; A. S. Diggs, secre- (tary, and P. A. Auer, treasurer. Dr. Kent, |in opening the meeting, mace a brief ad- dress, in Which he outlined the history, pur- pose and methods of the society. He said it was the chief aim of the organization to focus public opinion upon the great need of moral progress in all parts of the country. “This is not a sectarian movement, or a religious movement,” he said. purpose is to further the condition of so- clety, he is acceptable as a member, wheth- er he be a Christian, Jew, Mohammedan or |infidel. By the union of all moral forces | alone the country can cope with the evils on hand.” He went on to say that in dealing more | With common sense and taking a broad view of the work to be accomplished, the task is made lighter, been Issued to each of the ministers and | organization leaders in the city, which con- tain statistics of the leading evils in the country, to be used in connection with ser- | mons, which are asked to be delivered by the clergy, monthly, on practical reform. He also stated that the members were ask- ed to visit regulariy the different religious, charitable and educational societies in the city, in turn, that the consolidation of their force might be felt. No Stums. The remainder of the meeting was de- voted to brief addresses by members of the Felix Morris in | ergy and others who had suggestions to offer. Rev. Dr. Ennis, the new pastor of the Western Presbyterian Church, who 1s an enthusiast on social science and soct- ology, stated that he was glad that relig- ; fous opinion was disregarded, and that the ole aim of the organization was the pub- lic weal. Our statesmen have not succeed- ed in elevating our moral standard, he said, and our philanthropists who occasion- ally drop sums here and there for the aid of their unfortunate brothers soon drop out of sight, with their good deeds. He congratulated the city for the absence of the low laboring and manufacturing classes, who bring with them the siums, but, he said, ours is the nation’s city of public sentiment, and this society should stimulate this sentiment. ‘The Right Way. The Rev. Mr. Sewell of the New Church made a few criticisms on the methods laid out by the founders of the union. He thought it wrong to confine all e‘forts for progress to the pulpit, but that the union should work with the churches and societies rather than througn them, and that it shculd Fold meetings and send delegates in regular conference. There is a way to appeal to the people rather than through the pulpits, for many of the congregations are ignorant of the lowly condition in the slums, and they should be reminded of these states through the public press. As a fellow worker the church should appeal to the inner conscience on a plane where no other organization can speak. Society ‘is ruled by both what is the most sincere and what is the deepest. Practical Help. Miss Anna L. Diggs, who is a newspaper woman and enthusiastic charity worker in this city, made a brief address in reply to this criticism. She said that what is now wanted is applied Christianity. “All that is evil in life,” she satd, “has its root in ignorance. Everywhere we come against the stone wall of the poverty of the masses. The church,” she said, “has dealt too much with the abstractness of moral progress, and now the practical principles should be appealed to by them, and this society should take hold and press the work upon the min- isters, not leaving the greater part of the labor outside of the churches. How can any one go to the slums and preach the gospel?” she said. “It is too much like mockery. No matter how one believes, practical help is all that will suffice.” Dr. Eggleston made a few remarks in- dorsing the necessity of union in this pur- pose and stated that only too much power has been wasted by moralists by moving without consolidation. After a few other remarks by members, it was agreed that in the work the best course to pursue will be to call a meeting of delegates from all the churches and re- form societies in the city to make by-laws and definite organization. History of the Union. Less than a year ago there appeared in the Review of Reviews an article by W. T. Stead, the great reformer, describing the formation of a society for the furtherance of moral progress in England, which oc- eastoned an article im the Arena, by its editor, Mr. B. O. Flower, suggesting a tys- tem of organized reform in this country. In the February number of the Arena a long article on “The Organization of Moral Forces,” by Rev. Hiram Vrooman, president of the Baltimore Union tor Public Good, ap- peared, giving the outlines of a system which might be successfully carried out throughout the country. In consequence of these articles, the National Union has been established, with branches in Loston, York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washi ton. The national executive committee of the union is composed of Philip S. Moxom, oO. Fi D. D., president; B. 2 Rev. Harry C. Vrooman, secretary; W. D. MeCrackan and Diana’ Hirscheler. The principal topics to be worked upon, = with, are “The Evils of the S: tem, ‘Tenement Hous2 Reforn Treat the Saloon Evil" “and “Child Labor.” as Real Estate Matters, Esther Gundersheimer has purchased for 0,300, of F.

Albaugh’s.—For some time it has been an earnest question with those who love the | theater for what is best in the drama as to who would interpret the really great Plays of our literature. We have good act- ers, but no great ones. Some bitter flings have been made at the popular taste for no better reason than that thi mind enjoys good farce comedy better than it does poor tragedy. Mr. Clarke ts a young man, the nephew of that actor whose mem- ory is so universally cherished—Edwin Booth. His resemblance to Booth physical- | ly is startling, but not so stratling as the resemblance to his method and manner hich developed in the performance of “Hamlet” at Albaugh’s last night. The fact that he was of the family of a great )actor could exert no favorable prejudice , _concerning him, for the public recognizes no hereditary peerage in art. He stood | upon his merits and won sympathetic inter- | est in the mental struggles of ‘Hamlet’ in a manner which only an actor naturally endowed with intense sensibility could do. He has that prime requisite of the classical jirterpreter, a good voice. It is deep and rich, and while it is vibrant with emotion (at times, it 1s always firm and pure. He | had scarcely uttered a sentence before he {established with his audience that subtle | magnetic relationship which is so indefin- | able and yet so essential. There is no im- | yagaaaean of artificality to be gathered from | Eis work. He seems to do the right thing | because of an intuitive perception that it jis the right thing, and the result is a | smoothness in his reading delightful as it \ts rare. His manners, too, are graceful. He is young, and will doubtless improve, and it will be an improvement of the most promising dramatic material developed in | Years. Mr. Clarke is, however, not a novice on the stage. Ke has served a rigorous apprenticeship to his art, and his evident devotion to it is such that there is not much risk of his being spoiled by too much approval in his early career. He is plainly ambitious, but he is plainly conscientious. Miss Martha Ford was also interesting as Ophelia. She was a sweet and winsome | creature, who succeeded in engaging the deepest sympathies of the audience in the sorrows which the character so touchingly depicts. Her presentation of the role was a delicate and graceful one, the more pleas- ing because of its lack of ‘any tendency to exaggeration. Mr, Frederick Vroom re- ceived well-earned applause for his efforts, and there were other praiseworthy per- formances in the cast which, however, was mot without its weak nts. Mr. Clarke will produce “Hamlet” tonight and Satur- day night. Tomorrow evening he will pre- sent “The Merchant of Venice.” ‘The National.—The one-act play affords a delicate dramatic feast which {t is not always easy to present in a manner ac- ceptable to the popular appetite. It was as if the sweet influence of Rosina Vokes hovered over the stage of the National Theater last night, when three delightful bits of comedy were presented with that exquisite finish which {s possible only with good material, both as to authorship and interpretation. Mr. Felix Morris is well known, not only as a most efficient, but as a most versatile character actor, and in his three widely different performances last night showed the discriminating care which satisfies the Intellect, as well as the ener- getic enthusiasm which arouses the emo- tions. The first play on the bill was a dainty little creation, entitled “The Rose,” from the pen of Minnie Maddern Fisk, The second was “The Vagabond,” in which Mr. Morris assumed the role which sug- sests the title of the morceau, and the third was “Moses,” which illustrated the versa- tility ef the authoress above mentioned, as well as that of Mr. Morris, in that the humor fs quite broadly emphatie. The com- pany is one of exceptional merit, and the season will be a delightful one for those ian enjoy entertainment of this descrip- tion. The Georgetown Orchestra's Concert.— Metzerott Hall was well filled last night with the friends of the Georgetown Orche: tra, and all were pleased with the excel lent work of the organization and the at- tractive program that was offered. The merits of this orchestra have been fre- quently commented upon in these columns and its high aims have beer always com- mended. It is believed that there is no similar body of musicians in the country that has attained the same high stand- ard of excellence, although the members are amateurs, that is, they do not depend upon their musical work for a living, but play because they love the art of music. They have kept up their rehearsals for four- teen years and have attained a degree of proficiency that surpasses many purely pro- fessional orchestras. Under their new lead- er, Mr. Rakemann, the orchestra has visibly improved, and its friends are corresponding- ly gratified. The program was filled with melodic numbers, and the applause indicat- ed the satis tion of the audience. Men- delssohn’s “Wedding March,” Maszowski’s “Serenata,” Scharwenka’s “Po! Dance," Unber’s overture to “Fra Diavolo” and Rubenstein’s wedding cortege from the opera of “Feramors” were all familiar, and the only new number by the orchestra composer, which was well received. concert last night served to introduce as a solo pianist Miss Alice Burbage, a Wash- ington girl, who has recently returned from a course of study abroad. She played a Chopin Polonaise arranged for piano and orchestra, Handel's “Harmonious Black- smith” and Liszt's tarantelle, “Venezia e Napoli,” and in each she displayed an ex- cellent technique, the notes being clear and distinct without any slurring or care- lessness. Miss Burbage is a product of which this city may be proud. Mrs. R. Ortman was the vocal soloist, and she dis- played a voice of considerable power and The Miss Anita Cluss, harpist, and Mr. John Porter Lawrence, accompanist, both of whom sustained their well-earned repu- tations. Academy of Music.—Chauncey Olcott as Terence Dwyer in Jessup and Townsend's Irish play, ‘“Mavourneen,” the at- traction at the Academy last night, and it is saying no more than his partial due to say that he 1s really an attraction. He {s not only the promised successor of Emmet and of Scanian in the role of the singing comedian, but he is their successor, for no one now on the stage does so gracefully the things they did, nor is there a voice sweeter or more sympathetic than Olcott's. In his volce and in his acting is that in- definable something which made the fame and fortune of his two immediate predeces- sors. As to the play itself,it may be said that it does not rank with the great dramas of contemporaneous history, not even with Irish dramas, but it possesses the qualities which take it close to the human heart, as the human heart is found in the upper stratum of the theatric atmosphere; yet, it does not afford Mr. Olcott those opportunt- ties to which his abilities as singer and actor entitle him. In other words, he would be a much brighter light if he had better fuel. The supporting cast is quite up to the standard of the play, except as to the kid- lets, Dot Clarendon and Kennett Barnes, and they are the kind of small fry which make an audience fall in love with them and want to kidnap them right on the spot. Mr. Olcott's singing of the Scanlan songs through the play was received always with enthusiastic appreciation. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—“Lady Blarney,” a four-act melodrama, with Annie Ward Tiffany in the title role, opened a week's j engagement at the Bijou last night ‘before a large audience. The name of Annie Ward Tiffany is not a new one to Washing- ton theater-goers, although she has _not | been seen here for several | again last night she succeeded in capturing {the hearts of her audience, and proved ‘herself one of the most entertaining and magnetic actresses before the public. In the characters of Lady Blarney and Nancy O'Neill Miss Tiffany excelled any of her former efforts, and contributed a streak of pure, wholesome comedy that was refresh- ing. The supporting company ts good and the scenery excellent. Again tonight. Kernan’s Lyceam Theater.—An_ athletic entertainment at Kernan’s is always certain to bring good houses. Last night was no exception, and the theater was crowded with Washington’s sporting froternity, anx- fous to get a look at England's cham bantam-wetzht pugilist, Billy Plimmer. first part of the entertainment was given over to vaudeville, and the olfo presented In a comed mggling act was clever, Mc™vay and Doyle gave a rare bit of Irish comedy, and Little | Carrie playei the sictgh belis into pretty | tunes; Collins and Collins gave a neat song | and dance, and Ramza and Arno contrtb- | uted a laughable acrobatic act.

That fs the Only Tangible Point in This Case, William Cooper, a young colored man,who lives in South Washington, was the first prisoner called in Judge Miller’s court this |morning. Carrying a loaded revolver was the charge against him. “This case,” said Lawyer Peyton, his counsel, “comes within the law’s exemp- |tlons with the possibie exception that he | kept the weapon in his pocket a little too long. He was on his way home from the locksmith and he delayed on his journey.” ‘The weapon in the case, a 42-caliber “bull- dog,” was produced and Policeman Whalen also exhibited five large bullets. Complaint had been made to the officer that Cooper had threatened to blow out the brains of another man if he moved. “I followed him to a house in Dixon's | court,” said the officer, “and when he saw i =n he attempted to slip the weapon to a girl.” Frank Berryman was called and he he was in Knox's alley last night when | Cooper came through. He was under the |influence of liquor at the time, and he said (to me: “If you move one step I'll blow | your brains out.” Berryman bad had no trouble with him. Cooper's badly damaged hat was then pro- duced and he claimed that he was struck on the head with a stick when he was in | the alley. He made it appear that he had the trouble just before he was arrested. The ‘pistol, he said, he had just obtained irom a jlocksmith on Pennsylvania avenue, where [he had the spring of the weapon repaired. “How much did you pay for it?’ paid him $1.54." ee ‘But didn’t you buy it?” Not exactly; the locksmith said he | mended it." ‘Cooper's companion was next called, and Judge Miller's examination of him showed that Cooper was struck on the head at least three hours before his arrest. | even,” remarked the court. “No, I didn’t,” said the prisoner.

The trip home was most delightful. At levery station the party greeted those who were on the platform with the singing of many of the favorite hymns. | Yesterday was spent by the party in see- ing the sights in and about Richmond. | Several omnibus parties were organized and others made the tour of the city in car- |riages. | An exciting incident occurred as the |train was leaving the depot at Richmond. with her child, had been visiting friends |in the city, arrived at the station just in |time to see the train pull out. The ratl- road officials telegraphed to have the train stopped at Elba, five miles out, and calling 8 carriage placed Mrs. Foster and her child therein and drove them rapidly to the point where the train had stopped. All were delighted with the reception and entertainment they had received at the jhands of the Richmond people, and ex- pressed a desire that an opportunity might arise in the future for returning in some measure the hospitality enjoyed. | The final rehearsal for the mammoth con- | cert, which the Moody choir Is planning for | Friday night of this week, will be held in the First Congregational Church at 7:30 this evening. nr Voice Recital. Voice recital No. 2 of Mrs. Steele's Series took place on Friday evening, being | cerried out by the hostess with the brilliant assistance of Miss Amy Hare, in two piano |numbers. The vocal program included the Wonderful Liszt “Lorelei” and the “Ritorna Vincitor,” from Aida, beside selections from Bohm, Bruch, &c. Among those attending were Miss Irvin, Mr: , Mrs. dore Washington, Miss Riggs, Mrs. Fishburn, Mrs. Sells, Mi Miss Campbell, Mrs. Oldberg, Mr. Layard, Prof. Putnam, Rev.

Judge Miller has experienced considera- ble trouble this week endeavoring to get a jury to hear cases during the months of April, May and June, the trouble result- ing from the number of names of ineligible | persons being put in the jury box. Three persons who were not even naturalized, one sixteen-year-old boy, several persons who had served within a year, two non- residents and a preacher were among those whose names were taken from the box. A third attempt to complete the jury will be made tomorrow. Death of a War Department Clerk. George H. Taggard, for the past thirteen years a clerk in the office of the Secretary of War, died at his home, in Nashua, N. H., on the 20th ultimo, after an illness of more than one year, aged fifty-eight years. He was one of the most trusted clerks in the department, modest, faithful and pains- taking in ail things. He early responded to the call for soldiers in the late war, and was promoted to be adjutant of his ‘regi- ment, the thirteenth New Hampshire vol- unteers, and proved to be a valuable sol- dier, one that could be depended upon in an emergency, as wounds received, of which he never entirely recovered, testify. After the war he was elected eight years in suc- cession as city clerk in his native city of Nashua. For several years he was the manager of the now defunct Atlantie and Pacitic Telegraph Company at Chicago and Washington.
