Last evening a reception was tendered the Right Rev. P. J. Donahue, D. D., bishop of Wheeling, by the students and faculty of Georgetown College. The guest of the even- ing came over early in the afternxon from Baltimore with Rev. Father McGoldrick of the college. At 6 o'clock he was escorted to dinner in the university and placed on the seat of honor in the midst of the in- vited pastors of the various District churches, together with some of the pro- fessors from the Catholic University, the vicar general of Wheeling, and Fathers Olevier and McBride, also of that city. At 8 o'clock the company went to Gaston Hall, where in the presence of many friends a pregram appropriate and entertaining was Presented. The bishop, attired in his pon- tifical purple, entered with Rev. Father Richards, president of the university. The speech of welcome was made by Mr. E. Vincent Smith. Mr. Robert F. Collier spoke on “The Bishop an Apostle;’ Mr. John F. O'Brien, “The Bishop a Theologian J. Neal Power, “The Bishop a Preacher, and Mr. W. D. Bradley, “The Bishop, a Pastor.” The applause that followed every speaker testified to the «bility displayed. The violin selections of Mr. Anton Kaspar were artistic and pleasing to all. Mr. William J. Garvey was the last to address the new bishop, wishing him God speed on his new mission. The work of the new college banjo club was highly com- mended. But thrée or four public appear- ances have been made, yet the members have attained an excellence which it 1s thought promises early and successful rivalry with similar organizations of Yale and Harvard. Mr. J. A. Fogarty is the leader and Mr. R. D. Douglas the man- ager. Bishop Donahue is a son of Georgetown College, a native of Washington, where for some years he practiced law. On entering the church his rise was extremely rapid. As chancellor of the archdiocese of Balti- more he became widely known. Among the prominent ones present last night by special invitation were Justice White, Gen. Dunn, Senator Walsh of Geor- gia, an old student; Rev. Father Scan- lan, Rev. Father Mackin, Rev. Father Mat- thews, Rev. Father Sullivan, Rev. Father Gloyd, Rev. Father O'Connell, Rev. Father O'Connor of West Virginia, Rev. Father Lee, Rev, Father Delaney, Rev. Father Gil- lespie of Gonzaga College, Rev. Father Lancaster of Leonardtown, Md., Dr. Quinn, Gen. O'Byrne and Gen. LeFerre. The Jesuit Cardinals. Last night there were exhibited at George- town College for the first time four of the twelve portraits of the Jesuit cardinals that have been presented to the college by the Rev. Father Healy, a former president. ‘The other eight are said to be on their way from Rome, where they were all painted by Gogliardi, a celebrated artist. Three of the four already at the college are portraits of Italian cardinals. The fourth is that of Ci al Franzelin, who has just died. Drowning of Young Parker. At 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon as Charles Simmons and W. A. Thomas were sitting around a fire on Tenney’s wharf, near the Aqueduct bridge, their attention was attracted by a cry coming from the structure some distance off, accompanied by frantic gestures, indicating to them that @ Man was overboard. A hurried look over toward the Virginia end of the bridge dis- closed a capsized boat and four men cling: ing to it. Pushing out as rapidly as possi- bi2 the men made for the scene of the acci- dent. Before they reached it, however,they Saw one of the men strike out for the shore. He had hardly gone a dozen yards, though, before he gave out, and after vainly crying for assistance, which could not reach him in time, went down with the usual strug- gle. Just as the capsized craft was reached @ second of the four men who had occupied it, too weak from cold to longer maintain the hold he had kept on it, let go and went down. The rescuers, though, succeeded in grabbing him as he came up for the first time and hauled him into their boat. Then, with extreme difficulty, the other men were given assistance enough to keep their heads above the water, the rescuing boat not be- ing large enough to hold them, until the Virginia shore, forty feet away, was reach- ed. On carrying the half-frozen parties to Clark's restaurant, in Koslyn,the men went back to search for the body of the drowned one When the three rescued companions of the dead man had recovered sufticiently to en- able them to talk, it was learned that the river's victim was J. D. Parker of Mt. Pleas- ant, formerly a shoe clerk in Moran's, on Yth street. He was but twenty-one years of age. The capsizing had been bronght about by the attempt of young Parker to step from the stern to the bow. His foot had been caught in a rib of the boat, which jarred and overturned it. A reward of $100 was offered by the res- cued ones for the recovery of the body of their friend, and many fishermen boatmen went to work at once draggin After nearly twelve hours the body was Drought to the surface by George and Benj. Turney, whose efforts were rewarded about » o'clock this morning. The body was brought to the seventh precinct morgue. Responsibility of Wharf Owners. For the wreck of the Ellen Tobin, the schooner which, while lying at the foot of 32d street some months ago, was moved by a storm on a rock, causing the demolish- ment of her bottom, the courts have not yet decided who is responsible. While the suit of the owners against the wharf peo- ple is pending, the schooner, under the di- rection of her new owners, who bought her ublic auction, is being reconstructed at andria. In about three weeks she will ce more be seaworthy. The original owners, who were New Jer- sey meu, claim, it is understood, that Potomac Stone Company, at whose w she was lying. is liable for the loss, as it was the business of the company to see that there were no dangerous rocks off thoir property on which to invite the prop- erty of other: He Stole the Money. A man named Charles Williams was arrested yesterday afternoon on a charge of having stolen $0 from the home of Mr. James Manogue, father of the new col- lector. Mr. Manogue was changing his residence from M to P street, and had en- | in moving. A pecket book containing $30 had been ac- cidentally left on a bed, and on return- ing after a short absence, Mr. Manogue found it gore. The m suspected of hav- ing appropriated it, however, disclaimed all knowledge of it. He had been seen, though, to enter a stable shortly after the money must have been taken, and a thorough search of the premises disclosed the pocket book, though relieved of its contents. On being arrested the money was found on the man's person. A Safe Broken Open. Mr. W. H. Gaskins, the flour commission merchant, stepped out of his office yester- day afternoon and remained away about half an hour, and when he returned found his outer door broken open, the inner one of his large safe forced, and $100 In cash gone. Officer Bradley later in the day arrested a notoriously bad boy named Kline, charging him with the theft. ee A Libel Suit Nol Prossed. In Circuit Court, division 2, yesterday, the plaintiff was called in the case of Den- nis O'Neal agt. Hutchins, Kilbourn et al. and failing to answer,a nol pros. was enter- ed. This was a suit for libel for $20,000, in publishing in the Critic in 1 an article wherein plaintif€ was charged to have been arrested for housebreaking. ae The Financial Outlook Bright. At a meeting of the ways and means committee for the coming encampment of the Knights of Pythias, the chairman, Mr. R.

Dr. Hamma, who delivers the lec- ture, “The Land of the Midnight Sun,” on Saturday evening, April 14, in Metzecott Hall, for the benfit of Mr. Neil Dumont, late assistant district attorney, is keen-eyed as} an observer of nature and man, highly en- dowed with the artistic sense of describing what he saw in his extensive travels abroad, a gentleman of exquisite taste and culture and personal magnetism. His lecture, which for graphic word painting and for power to hold audiences greatly delighted of un- surpassed briijliancy and value, and takes rank among the finest and foremost of the kind ever delivered in America. As the entire net proceeds will be devoted to Mr. Dumont, who is now an Inmate of the Home for Incurables in this city, it is to be hoped that the public will be liberal in its patronage of this most worthy cause. The price of admission will be fifty cents. No reserved seats. Tickets can be obtained from the members of the committee having this lecture in charge, consisting of W. E. Parson, D. D., J. E. Hutchinson, Donald G. Stuart and Joseph Harper, Senator Gal- linger will preside. ———.__. Mr. Browning's Birthday Party. Mr. Robert S.

New National Theater.—Mr. Wilson Bar- rett and his London company presented “Hamlet” last night. He did not deal vith the traditionary “Hamlet,” that played by Betterton, Garrick, Kemble and the Booths. He turned a new light into the lines and brushed away the mold and moss and cob- webs which heretofore have enveloped the part in dark, mysterious gloom. From the melancholy Dane, the irresolute and yur- poseless Hamlet, so wavering and indecisive, that he depended on the inspiration of the moment for courage to avenge his father’s foul and unnatural murder, Mr. Barrett has evolved a Hamlet of flesh and blood, full of fervor, spirit and revenge—a Hamlet whom everybody can understand and feel with. His madness was palpably feigned, as it would seem the words to Horatio and Mar- cellus would warrant. From the appearance of the perturbed spirit till the end of the play Mr. Barrett has a purpose, clearly de- fined in all excepting the manner of accom- plishment. Only once docs he weaken, and then because suspicious of the genuineness of his father’s ghost. Then the guilty con- sclence of the king, brought out by the mouse trap, confirmes the prophesy of his soul. Mr. Barrett is perhaps not so grace- ful an elocutionist as EB. L. Davenport, who Was one of the best Hamlets, or Murdoch, but he speaks his lines as the nature of the case would seem to demand. He is an actor of experience, with independence of thought and action, and much of his business is original and effective. This was noticeable in the first scene with the ghost, in the mock play, in the closet scene and in the death scene. Miss Maud Jeffries made a good Ophelia, and the entire cast was in every way competent. The play was hand- somely staged and was witnessed by a audience, that gave frequent evidence of its Satisfaction by applause. “The White City by the Lake.”—Miss Janet Elizabeth Richards Jelivered an {lus- trated lecture on the world’s fair in the Sunday school room of Ascension Church last evening. The first views shown were of the surroundings of Jackson Park and the exterior of the buildings, following which came scenes in the more important of the buildings, and the latter portion of the lecture was devoted to the Midway Plaisance, the views of which were largely representative of the humorous features that were to be seen there. To those who were unable to attend the fair, such lec- tures are of great sbenefit, giving at least an idea of the immensity of it and some conception of the nature 2nd ap- pearance of the exhibits. The iecture was intended to be entertaining and amusing as well as instructive, and those features were selected for illustration that could best give @ general {dea without entering into the de- tails, which would be impossible in a single lecture of this Kind. The audience was a large and appreciative one and followed the lecture from beginning to end with ever in- creasing interest. ae Funeral of Mrs. Ehle. The funeral of the late Mrs. Ehle took Place yesterday afternoon from the resi- dence of her husband, Mr. John N, Ehle, 118 4th street southeast, and was largely at- tended by the relatives and friends of the deceased, including members of Columbia Commandery of the Golden Cross. The fu- neral services were conducted by the Rev. C. O. Eldridge of Douglas Memorial M. BE. Church, who spoke of her life and charac- ter. At the close of the remarks prayer was offered, after which “The Home of the | Soul” was sung by a quintet, Misses Annie Branson and Mabel Wheat | and Messrs. Beebe, Bateman and Pope. While the friends and relatives were assem- bling, “I Would Not Live Alway" was sung. The further services were performed by the minister at the Congressional cemetery, closing with singing “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The pallbearers were Richard’ H. Yates, Dr. J. A. Dickinson, B. A. Beebe, Sackett Duryee, Jas. F, Meachem and B. J. Pattee. “WORTH A GUINEA A Box Covered with a tasteless and soluble coating.
