SEE Si AND WIG CLUB. Great Preparations for the Perform- ance of the “Mikado.” Busy hammers and paint brushes are flourishing at Metzerott Music Hall; carpen- ters, electricians and stage decorators are in full possession and marvelous: changes have dready been wrought. By enlarging and extending the stage the private boxes have become a part of it, transformed into the most charming of Japanese houses, even the majestic goddesses which erstwhile or- mamented the proscenium have taken new fof and costume and are now thoroughly Japanese. Ever since its inception Professor N. Du- shane Cloward, director; Mr. Willis B. Ma- gruder, assistant stage manager, and Mr. Ollie C. Hine, the president of the» club, have been busily consulting and planning with Mr. Hunter Jones, architect; Mr. J. R. Galloway, electrician; Count R. de Mauny, decorator; M. Zeff, property man at the National Theater; Mr. Newton H. Bowman, manager of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company; Kimon Nicolaides, and oth- ers well versed in these matters, to make the stage setting of this, the first male ren- dition of the “Mikado,” tomorrow night, as brilliant and novel as, possible, and in a manner fitting the first appearance of the Washington Mask and Wig Club, which not only as the first in an advance in musical club work, but also as the best, desires to uphold the fame of the national capital. Hence it is that no detail has been deemed too small to recetve special care and elabora- tion for this performance. Members of the Legion of Loyal Women, under whose aus- ices the opera is given, are also at the hall busily engaged in rendering needful assistance. The cast and chorus for Mikado is as follows: Mikado. Oliver C. Hine Nanki-Poo. mes G. Traylor Ko. Wm. H. Conley Ko-Ko. Pooh-Ba! -Charies T. Hail t Wm. H. Grimes Chorus—Leroy Gough, Wm.

Frederick Douglass will lecture tonight at the Metropolitan A. M. E.

The operetta is the work of Mr. Harry Howard. — A Civil Service Denial. The civil service commissioners desire to deny the statement, widely pubitshed, that the suit brought by Mr. Eugene Gaddis against the Secretary of the Treasury was instigated or inspired by the civil service commission. The commission has already expressed its opinion relative to the ques- tion at issue in this case in its answer to the Senate resolution calling for all the alleged violations of the civil service law for the past five years, among which the case of Mr. Gaddis was enumerated. It ad- vised against the bringing of the Gaddis suit, believing that it was a matter to be directly settled by the Secretary of the Treasury without any necessity for the in- tervention of the courts. pina Senos wien Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip. Monday evening was “ladies’ night” with the Brotherhood of Andrew*and Philip at the Western Presbyterian Church, on H street between 19th and 20th streets north- west. The pastor, Rev. Howard Wilbur is, assisted by Mr. Augustus R. S. Foote, threw upon a screen and described y views of canons and geysers of the ellowstone Park, together with scenes mong the Indians of the southwest. Mr. Walter R. Jefferson rendered dramatic and humorous selections. —— Furniture at a Private Residence.

CITIZEN REDSTONE/| In High Spirits Since His Return From the Coxey Army. STILL LOOKING FOR A CAMPING GROUND One Across the Eastern Branch the Most Likely. THE UNKNOWN’S FORCE The sunburst in the center of the banner which the ladies of Kansas City sent to Coxey’s heedquarters yesterday was not a circumstance in its beaming effulgence to the countenance of Citizen Redstone this merning. Indeed, his visage was a striking conecatination of the cherubic smiles that lighted up the dim interior of Rechabites’ Hall with gentle radiance. He had re- turned from his visit to the Coxey common- weal in Maryland, and was full to over- flowing with the glory of his reception. He met the army above Boonsboro, he said, at a point to which he had tramped to await its coming. He graphically described the pleasure that filled Carl Browne when the latter gazed upon his familiar figure standing by the roadside. He imitated the manner in which the famous marshal with a new top about all the incidents of his recent journey. When asked if he had been the guest of Unknown Smith in Fred- erick, he replied that he had stopped at the same hotel with the Unknown, and paid his own expenses. He would not tell what had passed between himself and Browne in r to Smith's desire for a reconciliation, but said that he did not Propose to call on Smith, and that he had no messages for him of any description. ‘The Proposed Escort. “Citizen,” said The Star reporter, “the wires have said that you promised the commonweal an escort of 15,000 men when it reached Washington, which would be composed of the G. A. R.. secret societies and labor organizations. What grounds did you base such a promise upon?” “My language was apparently misunder- stood,” said Col. Redstone. “I did not mean that the organizations mentioned would turn out as bodies. What I meant was that in the escort, which I believed would amount to 15,000 men, and which will bring AMUSEMENTS. Albaugh’s.—Mounet-Sully held his audi- ence spellbound at Albaugh’s last night by his impersonation of that majestic dramatic horror, “Oedipe Roi.” It is said to be the French actor’s favorite character; that it should be would not seem surpris- ing, as it calls for the display of his great- est tragic powers. He maintains the dig- nity of grief without any deficiency in vigor of interpretation, and while the au- dience shudders at the fearful spectacle of mental and physical woe, the grandeur of the pathos is such that the impression is all sympathy and no aversion. That Mou- net-Sully is a thorough and competent actor was shown by his “Hamlet;” but it is in “Oedipe Roi” that he stands forth as a really great artist. It is interesting to note the manner in which the play adapts itself to the modern stage. The performance of a Greek play by French actors to an English-speaking audience seems a long journey for a dramatic idea. But it is well worth having when it arrives. The actor is everything in Mounet-Sully’s pro- auctions. His company is, indeed, a good one, but no concession has been made to meet the popular hunger for glitter and display in scenery and costume. His a al is purely intellectual, and in moun‘ ing his plays accuracy and picturesqueness have apparently been sought, but not splen- dor. Mounet-Sully’s bearing is kingly through every instant of the play. As the beneficent and beloved ruler of the people and as the abject victim of almost every mental agony the gods could inflict his nature towers massively above that of the ordinary man. The occasion was not one for merely pedantic enjoyment by any means. It was a performance of the kind that touches the hearts of any generation of people of any social condition. The lage that human nature is the same in all ages could scarcely be more powerfully exemplified than by the manner in which these emotions and sufferings of a people of the long past, moved by superstitions that inspire only curious interest now, shook the sensibilities of the spectators last night. A number of well-known people have at- tended the Mounet-Sully performances, among those present being Sir Julian Pauncefote, Mrs. Leiter, Miss Leiter, Ma- vroyeni Bey, Lieut. and Mrs. Attwell. To- night “Ruy Blas” will be given, and Mme. Jane will appear as Mounet-Sully’s rt support. “Cinderella.”—An interesting event this week will be the appearance of Carl Mar- wig's Juvenile Pantomime Company at Al- baugh’s on Friday and Saturday. The or- ganization is entirely composed of children, to the number of forty-five, and they have been thoroughly trained for this perform- ance. Every child knows the story of the “little glass slipper,” and these little folks make it decidedly interesting. The bur- lesque is full of pretty dances, catchy songs, &c., and is beautifully costumed. So well has Prof. Marwig schooled these little ones that their performance is said to equal that Gen. Coxey and the commonweal into this city, there will be a multitude of men be- longing ‘o such associations. I told them that I thought the G. A. R. was in sym- pathy with the movement.” Commissioners’ Proclamation. “How did the proclamation of the District Commissioners affect the army?” “Oh, they paid very little attention to it, I think. Coxey knows as much about the of professionals. The Saturday matinee is especially for the little ones, and as the reg- ular matinee prices will prevail, seats should be secured in advance, so as to avoid the rush at the doors. Sale of seats for all the performances is now in proj “Wang.”—The much-talked-of “Wang” is to be produced for the third time in this city next week at Albaugh’s. The opera has for the past two seasons been a great money maker. This fact has made it pos- laws of the District of Columbia as the District Commissioners themselves, and knows just what to do, end Browne knows better. I know all about the laws here, too,” continued the colonel, with a proud inflection. “I have been a member of the ba> of the Supreme Court of the United States myself ever since 1876. The Com- mers are merely trying to scare ple by inference. The commonweal ts com- ing just the same as any other body of peaceable citizens can come in. Nobody is frightened by the ukase of the District rulers. The Question of a Camping Ground. ‘The committee which was selected to call upon the District Commissioners and re- quest permission for holding a mass meet- ing at 7th and Pennsylvania avenue and in front of the court house has been informed that their request has been referred to the police board and that no reply will be given to it until the conclusions of that body are known. The question of the camping ground for the commonweal in the vicinity of this city has not yet been settled. Mr. Sidney Maltby, who is a member of the committee having the matter in charge, said this morning that two locations were under consideration, but that some difficul- ty had been found in securing ground that was unoccupied. He remarked that one plot that was favorably regarded by the committee was situated on the other side of the Eastern branch, immediately to the north of Massachusetts avenue extended. He said that it would be necessary to keep quiet about the preliminaries preceding the procuring of this property because if it was known that the Coxey army was go- ing to camp there the agents or proprietors of the land might not be willing to let it be used for the purpose. He said that ne- gotiations were now in progress for the lease of the grounds mentioned and it was hoped that it could be gotten without the Proprietors knowing for what purpose it was intended. At headquarters the idea that either Glen Echo or Woodley Park would serve as the location of the encamp- ment is no longer seriously considered. Not Circulating a Petition. Mrs. Digges, the energetic little Kansas woman, who has been taking such a prom- iment part in the Washington branch of the Coxey movement, was very much amused when she learned that she was circulating @ paper with the object of securing the sig- natures of 10,000 Washington women to a protest against the recent action of the District Commissioners in issuing their manifesto. She smilingly denied any such action or intention on her part. The Unknown and His Alleged Army. Unknown Smith held a meeting in the stable yard of the Thyson House last night and will continue similar entertainments there until the Coxey army arrives near Washington. Residents of Montgomery county deny that there are anything like sixty commonwealers roving around through Montgomery and living off the country, much less 600, as the unknown asserted, and are free in their statements The Old Soldiers and Coxey. Wm. H. Chambers, superintendent of the Soldiers and Sailors’ Home, inclosed a clip- ping from The Star to the Commissioners today, in which it was represented that the home would take care of any ex-Union soldiers and sailors who might be with Coxey. He says: “Inclosed please find communication from Saturday's Evening Star. I am directed by the president of the board of managers to say it has taken no action, nor authorized anyone to give out any information in re- gard to caring for any old soldier who may unfortunately have joined in the Coxey movement. The president and myself are rot in sympathy with the movement, and I believe we voice the feeling of the entire management.” ee Harry Fisk’s Benefit. The testimonial benefit given to Harry C. Fisk, the assistant manager of Albaugh’s Opera House, will occur on Saturday, May 5, and judging from the large advance sale of seats, it will be the largest entertainment of the kind ever given in Washington. The sale of reserved seats will commence to- morrow morning at the box office of the theater. The program will be a long and varied one, consisting of high-class per- formers, who have volunteered their serv- ices. In addition to those already men-) tioned the list will include Miss Avery Strakosch, Miss Jessie Bradbury and Chas. A. Bigelow of the Strakosch Comic Opera Company; Hub Smith, who will do a spe- claity with Miss Annie Lewis, and Messrs. Joseph Cullen, W. M. Hale and C. T. Mc- Enaney, composing the Alpine trio. Pitas cas Tonight's Debate. In the debate between the Y. M. C. A. and the Wimodaughsis this evening Mr. W. P. Freeman will lead for the Y. M. C. A. im the negative and Mrs. Havens for the Wimodaughsis in the affirmative. Gen. Birney will give the decision. —_ Unity in Religion, “On What Grounds Can All Men Unite in Religion?” is the general subject of in- quiry at a series of meetings which are being held in the chapel of All Souls’ Church, corner 14th and L streets, on Thursday evenings. The special topic for consideration tormorrow night is “The Re- ligion of the Future and What Steps Lead Toward It.” People of all denominations and of no denomination are invited to par- tieipate, —_o Remember Copp’s Kensington lots.—Advt. sible for a large amount of money to be lavished upon its scenery and costumes, which aid in depicting life in Siam under the regency appointed during the minority of the present king of that country. The company consists of sixty people and car- ries its own orchestra. It also carries every foot of the gorgeous scenery needed for the production, the cost of this scenery being in the neighborhood of $15,000. The same organization is now playing to crowded houses in New York city, and will be brought in its entirety for its Washington engagement. The advance sale of boxes and seats will open tomorrow morning. Griffin's Athletic and Specialty Com- pany.—Johnnie Griffin's big athletic and specialty company will be the attraction at the Lyceum next week. Johnnie Griffin, who fought Young Griffo “a draw” in Bos- Boston Monday night, will appear at every performance, together with Ike Weir, the Braintree Lad, in a scientific glove contest against some local aspirant. The vaudeville contingent is a good one, and includes a number of well-known artists. ‘The Eames Concert.—Mme. Eames, Mme. Sealchi, Mr. Ben Davies, Mr. Franz Knet- sel and his associates form a combination of eminent artists not often to be heard to- gether, and it goes without saying that the concert at Metzerott Hall next Tuesday evening will be an occasion of unusual at- tractiveness. Mme. Eames, whose brilliant operatic career is well known, will be heard for the first time-in this city. She will sing the Countess’ aria from the “Marriage of Figaro,” a group of songs by Schumann, Clayton Johns and Goring Thomas, and, with Mme. Scalchi, the great duet from Bolto’s “‘Mephistofele.” Mme. Scalchi and Mr. Ben Davies will each contribute solo numbers, and the instrumental part of the program will be provided by the Kneisel Quartet of Boston. The sale of tickets opens at Metzerott’s music store next Thursday morning. Last Bischoff Concert.—The last Bischoff concert of the season will take place on Friday evening at the Congregational Church, and the program will be an ex- cellent one, a fitting termination to a se- ries that has been in every way successful. Those who will participate are Dr. J. W. Bischoff, in organ solos: Miss Bertha Lu- cas,in a violin solo; Mr.Elphonzo Youngs, jr., in a cornet solo; the Olmo Mandolin Orches- tra, and vocal numbers by Misses Cora M. Boyd and Dorothy Byrde Rogers, Mrs. De Rossett_and a quartet composed of Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-Cliff, Mrs. J. M. Oyster, Mr. Douglass G. Miller and Mr. J. Henry Kaiser. “Self-Made Men.—Mr. Frederick Douglass will lecture tonight at Metropolitan A. M.E. Church, on M street between i5th and 16th streets, on the subject of “Self-Made Men.” Mr. Douglass’ repitation as a lecturer ex- ceeds that of any representative of his race and is upon the same plane as the best of those of the Caucasian race who affect the lecture platform. He will undoubtedly be greeted by a large audience. “The Daughter of Jairus."—A sacred cantata, “The Daughter of Jairus,” will be rendered by a choru: thirty voices Friday evening, April 2 the “Church of the Holy City,” corn ard Massachusetts avenue northwest. The soloists will be Miss Edith G. Meem, so- prano; Mrs, Ralph P. Barnard, mezzo-so- prano; Mr. Wm. Hamilton, tenor; Mr. Eu- ene F. Stevens, bass. Mr. Harry Wheaton ge Howard will be the director, and Prof. Picturesque Japan.—Mr. Jenichiro Oyabe, the son of a well-known judge of Tokio, Japan, who has himself recently been con- verted to Christianity, will give an illustrat- ed lecture on Japan at Carroll Institute Hall on next Monday, at 8 p.m. Young Jenichiro has been an adventurous traveler, leaving his native kingdom when he was but fifteen years of age. He has been a tireless student, and has learned to speak English fluently, under the personal ad- vice and direction of Rev. Dr. Rankin and other well-known educators. He traveled in Europe last year, and his lecture, which he illustrates with seventy-five magnificent stereopticon views, was well received. He speaks in native costume, and is an at- tractive speaker. His object is to take a post-graduate course at Harvard or Yale, and appeals for encouragement from all friends of missions, as he will return to Japan to teach or preach after completing his studies in this country. —_—_—— Sunday Teachers’ Club. The first regular session of the District of Columbia Sunday Teachers’ Club will be held this evening at 7:45 o'clock in the lecture room of the First Congregational Church. Rev. J. E.

Hearst Asks for an Injunc- tion Against the Manager. Against John Wedderburn,Wm. R. Hearst, Publisher of the San Francisco Examiner, today filed a bill in equity praying for an injunction and the appointment of a re- | ceiver in the matter of the “the Examiner were partners, and which was organized in June, 1891, for the prosecution of claims against the United States and in the patent office in the interest of subscribers for the San Francisco Examiner. The complainant alleges that Wedderburn was mostly interested in the business, and that, in July, 1892, a corporation known as the Press Claims Company was organized by him under the laws of Virginia, the ex- penses of which the first named organiza- tion bore; but done, the complainant al- leges, without his knowledge, and in viola- tion of the contract between them. Similar arrangements were made with the Pioneer Press of St. Paul, Minn., August, 1801, and with the Omaha Bee, November, 1891, but they miscarried, it is alleged, because of the defendant's mismanagement, the defendant refusing to refund the money called for under the contracts with the two papers, An Alleged Indebtedness. The defendant is alleged to have created an indebtedness and to have mismanaged the funds accruing. He is also alleged to have made a promissory note for $8,000 to Phebe A. Hearst in the name of the firm, December, 1891, in violation of their agree- ment, it being understood that the defend- ant was to advance all expenses, The al- leged collection of excessive fees by the de- fendant is said to have injured the reputa- tion of the San Francisco Examiner. The defendant is also said to have mismanaged cases, and he is said to have sent out circu- lars offering prizes for inventions, offering @ prize of $2,500 for nothing, the competi- tors to pay an initial fee of $5 and to waive all claims to their inventions. It is set forth that there are 18,000 cases pending, as the business of the bureau, in- cluding pension, Indian depredation, land and other miscellaneous claims, also appli- cations for patents, many of which cannot be settled for several years. Judge Cox granted a restraining order against the defendant, returnable May 2 next. ———— ABOUT GEORGETOWN. Various Matters of Interest Beyond Rock Creek. Yesterday the “Senator Sullivan,” laden with 1,000 tons of Potomac blue stone, sailed from the wharves of Chas. G. Smith & Son. She is bound for Port Royal, 8. C., where the government is constructing a large dry dock. There were many compet- itors for the contract that was awarded to the Georgetowners. This week another laden vessel will leave for Port Royal with stone to be used on the rip-rap there. Mr. Thos. Sullivan of the Conduit road yesterday turned over to Officer Bradley a saddled horse which he found standing in his stable. Later in the day it was found that the animal was one that had been stolen from M. F. Laughlin of Langley, Va. Officers are on the track of the thief, with a fair chance of making him pay the pen- alty of his offense. Georgetown real estate is being negotiated for daily. Yesterday Joanna O'Connor sold to Dennis T. Keady part of a tract lying west of the College pond, containing 18-100 of an acre. Richard Ough and Sam’! Pine transferred to W. W. Biggs lot 3, block 1, Clark’s sub of Whitehaven and Harlem, and W. H. Whaley sold to Caroline B. Williams lot 12, block 14, of Reno. Mr. 'R. C. Balinger, the principal tenor of the Christ Church choir, has resigned from that musical body. The finance committee of the First Co- operative Building Association have exam- ined the accounts of the secretary and treasurer, found them accurately kept and reported the association’s flourishing con- dition to the board of directors. ._-—— PRISONERS FOR ALBANY. Ten Convicts Left the Jail Here Last Evening. “Jack the Slasher” and nine other con- victs were last evening forwarded by Warden Leonard to the Albany peniten- tiary. The prisoners, handcuffed and chain- ed together in pairs, left the Baltimore and Ohio station at 11:30, in charge of Clerk Leonard and Guard Crocker of the jail force. The following convicts were sent: Joseph Fielden, larceny from the person, three years; Rollo Tefft, grand larceny, three years; Thomas Anderson, larceny, one year and a day; Nelson Waldron, alias Nelson Kramer, housebreaking, three years; William Brockenbery, alias Bird, forgery, three years; William, alias “Kid,” Robin- son, housebreaking, three years; Abraham Page, second offense of petty larceny, three years; George Taylor, housebreaking, thirty years; Edward Willis, alias Samuel Stewart, housebreaking, six years, and Ella Braxton, housebreaking. eight years. With the exception of Fielden, the English light-weight pugilist, and Tefft, the accom- plished sneak thief, the convicts were ne- groes. While the “Slasher” had little to say, he had about ceased his assumption of imbe- cility. In the opinion of those conversant in such matters “Jack” will not survive his thirty-year sentence. —_——__ Want a Share in the Estate. John L. Neill of Atlanta, Ga., and James F. Neill of Kenosha county, Wisconsin, yesterday filed a petition praying for a share in the distribution of the personal es- tate of the late Robt. 8S. Wharton. The es- tate of the deceased was valued at $140,000. The will directed a distribution of the es- tate as if he had died intestate. The peti- tioners are the grand-nephews of the testa- tor. —s— Church of Our Father Entertainment. A musical and literary entertainment was given under the direction of Mr. Charles Ritter last night at the Church of Our Father. Among the many excellent fea- tures of the program were the readings of Rey. A. G.

Spots on the Eyes SIGHT AFFECTED AFTER AN ATTACK OF THE MEASLES. HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA RESTORES CLEAR VISION AND CURES HEADACHE. ‘C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: “About nine years ago I was sick with the measles, which left my eyes very sore. They would swell so that I could scarcely see, and I could not stand the light. I could hanlly sleep at night, because the pain was too great. After a short time white spots came on my eyes, making my sight dim, so that I could hardly distinguish an object held close to the eyes. I tried three doctors, but they would only make them better for @ short time and then the trouble would be Hood’s Sarsaparilla Cures | worse than ever. In the spring of 1802 I heard iH about a boy whose eyes had been cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla and decided to try it.

Prof. Crane, the world-renowned Hebrew Spiritualist and Medium, was seen yestei day at his rooms in the handsome flat at 706 13th st. n.w. The Professor's wonder- ful gift has gone abroad, for his reception room was crowded with people, many of whom came to have this wonderful man peer into the mysterious future for them and others to get relief from the tortures of disease. Prof. Crane was born at Cairo, Egypt, in 1840, and is therefore fifty-four years of age. When four years old the power to read the future manifested itself, nd as he grew older this gift was strengthened, until now his marvelous rev- elations are the talk of the world. At the age of four and a half years he was adopt- ed by the Emperor of Russia, and later went through the Crimean war, foretelling every battle that was won or lost. Besides this power to penetrate the mysteries of the future, Prof. Crane devotes most of his time to healing the sick, and accepts only such cases as are considered incurable by other physicians. And these he positively guarantees to cure or no charge is made. In diagnosing cases he never asks the pa- tient questions, as he readily sees and treats all troubles without giving a drop of medicine. In using his marvelous gif: in restoring the sick he feels that he is mak- ing the best use of it tn the cause o* humanity. Cancers, Catarrh, Deafness, Asthma, Tumors, Rheumatism, &c., no matter of how long standing, are success- fully treated and cured. Hundreds are taking advantage of the professor's stay in the city to get relief from their aches and pains, and others know what is in store for them. 706 14th st. nw. st Fashion Leaders in Fine Millinery.
