Meeting of the Preliminary Commit- tee of "96. ‘The preliminary committee of "96, fifteenth fnternational convention of Christian En- deavor, met last evening at its headquarte-s, 4m the Young Men’s Christian Association ‘building, with the chairman, Mr. W. H. H. Smith, presiding. Encouraging reports were recetyed from the chairmen of subcommit- tees and letters were read from prominent Endeavorers all over the country. The re- port of the committee on hall was given by Mr. W. A. H. Church. He submitted plans for a large temporary hall to seat 15,000 people. Mr. W. B. Robison of the subcommittee ©n invitations reported steady progress in the securing of indorsements of organiza- tions and individuals in the city.

A change has been made by the manage- ment of the Midway Plaisance, now on ex- hibition in Convention Hall, that will un- doubtedly meet the approbation of the Washington public and tend to swell the attendance at this reproduction of a most Interesting portion of the world’s Columbian exposition. Hereafter the price of admis- sion will be fifty cents, which includes free @ntrance to all the inside attractions.

THE LAW OF THE CASE ‘There was a council of war this morning at the District building. Capt. Powell was in his element. Some wag pasted a piece of paper cn the board room door where the Commissioners were in session which read: “Fie, fie, fo, fight, We smell the blood of a Coxeyite.”” ‘The rhyme furnished considerable amuse- ment until a messenger ruthlessly tore it down. Inside the Commissioners, with a plan of the city and its environs before them, were discussing the situation. Capt. Powell pointed out several strategic points where the army might be surrounded and kept un- der surveillance. But how will the Commissioners hold the army together? it has been argued that if any considerable number of the police is detailed to watch the army, the city will suffer, for the army, it is believed, will be followed to Washington by a gang of thieves, who would take advantage of the situation if any portion of the city was left without police protection, A prominent official said today: “Why not call out the National Guard and let it take care of the army? It will serve a double purpose. It will keep the police- men at their posts and give Congress and the citizens a practical {ilustration of the real worth of the citizen soldiers.” Laws Bearing on the Matter. It is evident that the Commissioners are considering precautionary measures. The secretary of the board, acting under instruc- tions, has compiled the following laws bear- ing upon the subject of assemblies, &c., which were presented to the Commissioners this morning: Am act for the preservation of the public peace and the protection of property within the District of Columbia. Sec. 6. That it shall not be lawful for any person or persons within the District | of Columbia to congregate and a: empble | at the corners of any of the streets or ave- nues, or in any street, avenue, or alley, road, or highway, or on the foot pavements of flag footways of any street or avenue, or at the entrance or on the steps, cellar, doors, porches, or porticos of any public or private building or office, or at the en- trance, or in, on, or around any of the in- closures of the Capitol, Executive Mansion, | public squares, District buildings, Judiciary | Square, or at the entrance of any church, school house, theater, or any assembly room, or in or around the same, or any | other public or private inclosure within | the said District, and be engaged in loud | or boisterous talking, or to insult or make rude or obscene comments or remarks or | observations on persons passing by the | same, or in their hearing, or to so crowd, | obstruct, or incommode the sald foot pave- | ment or flag footway, or the entrance into or out of such church, public or private dwellings, city hall, Executive Mansion, | Capitol, or other public inclosure, square | or alley, highway or road, as to prevent the | free and uninterrupted passage thereof, | jer a penalty of not more than twenty- five dollars for each and qey, such offense. 7 . Sec. 8 That all vagrants, idle and dis- orderly persons, persons of- evil life and fame, persons who have no visible means of support, persons who are likely to be- | come chargeable to the District of Colum-/ bia as paupers, or drunk in or about any of the streets, avenues, alleys, roads, or high- ways, or public places within the District of Columbia, or loitering in or about tip- pling houses, all suspicious persons who have no fixed place of residence or cannot give a. good account of themselves, persons guilty of open profanity or grossly Inde- | cent language in or on any of the streets, avenues, alleys, public places, roads or | highways of said District; all public pros- | titutes, and all such persons who lead a notoriously lewd or lascivious course of | life, sha upon conviction thereof before | the Police Court of said District, be re- | quired to enter into security for their good | behavior for the space of six calendar | months. Said urity shall be in the na-/ ture of a recognizance to the District of Columbia, to be approved by said court in a penalty not exceeding two hundred dol- lars, conditioned that the offender shall not, for the space of six months, repeat the offense with which he is charged, and shall in other respects conduct himself properly. ‘Approved July 29, 1892. The Cpaitol Grounds. Whereas, the Capitol grounds have been | formed to subserve the quiet and dignity of | the Capitol of the United States, and to prevent the occurrence near it of such dis- turbances as are incident to the’ ordinary use of the public streets and places: There- fore, the following statute for the regula- tion of the public use of said grounds, is hereby enacted: Be it enacted, etc., That public travel in and occupancy of the Capitol grounds shall be restricted to the roads, walks and places prepared for the purpose by flagging, pav- See. 2.

That offenses against this act shall be triable before the Police Court of the District of Columbia, and shall be puntsh- able by fine or imprisonment, or both, at loud, threatening or the fine not to exceed $100, the imprison- ment not to exceed sixty days. But in the case of heinous offenses by reason of which public property shall have suffered damage to an amount exceeding $100 in damage, said judge of the Police Court may commit or hold to bail the offender for trial before the Supreme Court of the District of Co- lumbia, when the offense shall be punish- able by imprisonment in the penitentiary for a pertod of not less than six months nor more than five years. See. 8 That it shall be the duty of all policemen and watchmen having authority to make arrests in the District of Columbia to be watchful for offenses against this act, and to arrest and bring before the proper tribunal those who shall offend against it under their observation, or of whose of- fenses they shall be advised by witnesses. Sec. 9.

That, in the absence from Wash- ton of elther of the officers designed in st section, the authority therein given to suspend in prohibitions of this act shall devolve upon the other, and in the absence from Washington of both, it shali devolve upon the Capitol police commission.

The house was well filled, and the pretty costumes, the dazzling complications of color and the gracefully arranged marches were appre- ciated, while the dances and the specialty performers awakened the enthusiasm that greeted them last week. The increase of at- tendance last night gives indication that this week's attendance may justify the somewhat, illiberal policy of holding about ail the seats on the first floor as reserved. The stage management fs still as clean-cut and capable on the first night, and the udience is filled with admiring wonder at the smooth manner in which the intricate effects are managed. The Marteau Concert.—A large audience will greet Henri Marteau, the great French violinist, on Wednesday evening, April 18, at Metzerott Hall. Mme. Linde, the Amer- ican contralto, and Amie Lachaume, the French pianist, support Marteau on this oc- casion. M. Marteau's numbers on the pro- gram will be a Beethoven Sonata, Op., 24; a Mendelssohn concerto; a Romanza by Svendsen, Jola, Navarra, Sarasatl, and Grand Fantasie Faust, Gounod, Wieniaw- ski. Seats now on sale at Metzerott Music Hall. New National Theater.—It is a great pity that a writer of Oscar Wulde’s wonderful cleverness should be so irresistibly attracted by the unwholesome elements in human affairs. His pen probes into the things which shock the pure mind and encourage the vicious with an eager | persistence that amounts to monomania. His efforts to sugar-coat his indecencies so as to make them tolerable to a patient pub- lic are too palpably concessions to practical considerations to be mistaken for sincerity. In “A Woman of No Importance,"which an excellent company produced at the National Theater last night, a gentleman who makes the plea concerning his downfall that Adam and some others have presented and the woman who is the victim of his perfidy are _the central figures of interest. Mr. Wilde does not advocate impropriety; on the con- trary, he calls for impartial redress; but he presents a strong reminder of the culprit who cries stop thief with all his might, while he is himself running away with the plunder. The concise extravagances of per- Sonal opinion which have been heralded as epigrams were listened to with patience last night; sometimes with approval. Frequent- ly they awakened an undefinable ripple of expression which is midway between a laugh and a shudder. Artistically the play is a polished masterplece. It 1s a triumph of artificiality in which language and logic teke the place of sympathy and human im- pulse. The company is one of rare mertt. John T. Sullivan is an actor whose sterling qualities make whatever he does admirable. | Thomas Whiffen ts good; so are Mrs. Bouci- cault and Ada Dyas and Effie Shannon, so in fact are all the people who appear on the stage, including Miss Coghlan herself, who, whatever other criticism may be offered concerning her, cannot be sald to lack in self-confidence or the highest artistic zeal. Academy.—It was “Jane” night at the Academy last night, and Jennie Yeamans was Jane. Washington has always known ancther Jane, a somewhat sublimated, im- possible Jane, albeit a charming one, but Jennie Yeamans’ Jane is of another kind. It is a Jane redolent of the house maid; of the dust brush dust brushy; plumply ideal; rosy faced and rollickin; in fact, a house maid just as she is—‘‘as large as life and twice as natural.” Miss Yeamans is extremely clever in her portrayal of the character, and, though at times she may give it a Bowery touch not quite har- monious, she somehow gets it in such shape that her auditors want to laugh every time she does anything, whether it is funny or not, though Miss Yeamans dces not do many things which are not provocative of a grin. Of the others in the cast, some are well known to us, and when that long. slim William came on he was greeted with a cheer, so much has Mr. Cotton done for William. Joseph Allen's | Mr. Kershaw was another familiar glad to be greeted again. Mr. Adolph Jackson {s an admirable Charles Shackleton, with the air and the carriage of a young man of good, strong, high-priced tastes. Miss Stevens was a pretty Lucy Norton; Miss Le Baron did Mrs. Chadwick with good natural effect: Arthur Boylan was a lively boy, and the Pixton family (Snitz Edwards and Miss Dodd) was the usual startling domestic contrast. The play was preceded by that almost best of all curtain raisers, “Chums,” with Adolph J. Jackson, Sey- mour G. Hess (who is on his feet again), Miss Stevens and Miss Le Baron in the cast, and it was well done. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—One long, loud laugh of two hours’ duration is criticism enough for the performance of that great American comedy “Niobe.” The play is from the pen of Harry and Edward Paul- ton, the authors of “Erminie,” and the bright dialogue reminds one of that charm- ing opera. The play deals with the im- possible. A beautiful statue which has been in existence for 3,000 years suddenly comes to life through the enervating in- fluence of an electric wire, and forthwith proceeds to shock folks with her ancient innocence. The supporting company is excellent, and the play one of the best seen here this season. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The famous Rentz Santley Novelty and Burlesque Com- pany opened at Kernan's last night for a week's engagement. A spectacular bur- lesque, entitled “America or the Discovery of Columbus,” introduces a score of pretty and shapely damsels, as well as an olio of considerable merit. The Fulton Brothers and John E. Drew danced well; Harry Le Clair contributed a protean specialty that was amusing; Wills and Marshall did a clever comedy sketch; the juggling and knife throwing of the O’Brien Sisters was stirring, and the Orion Trio, Swinburne and Howard, Lottie Elliott and Goldie and St. Clair completed the program. A Tea and Apron Bazaar.—There will be a@ tea and apron bazaar for the benefit of the ee, Dispensary and Emergen- cy Hospital this evening at the dispensary building, 625 Massachusetts avenue north- west. A fine program of music and recita- tions will be presented and there will be other features for the entertainment of those who will attend. National Rifles’ Hall.—Tonight the Sheri- dan Dramatic Company will be seen at Na- tional’ Rifles’ Hall in “The Midnight Charge,” introducing the famous Pumpkin Blossom Club, and an enjoyable perform- ance may be anticipated. The entertain- ment is for the benefit of the charity fund of Lincoln Relief Corps, No. 6, and after the dramatic features dancing will be the order of the evening. Metzerott Hall—Mr. A. B. de Guerville lectures at Metzerott Hall tonight on the “Courts of Japan, Corea and China.” Mr. De Guervitie is well-known to magazine readers because of his contributions on Asia, written while traveling in that quar- ter of the globe as a world’s fair commis- sioner. His fame rests solidly on the cele- brated Interview which he had with Li Hung Chang, the premier of the Manchou emperor, in which that dignitary stated that it would be well for China to send a fleet to the United States to teach that country proper respect for China. “WORTH A GUINEA A BOX."
