Hardman, Peck & Co., plano manufac- turers of New York, yesterday filed a bill fm equity against Henriette E. Metzerott, Frank B. Metzerott, Job Barnard and Joseph T. Luckett. The bill of complaint alleges that the firm of Metzerott, in the Course of its business, disposed of a large Quantity of pianos and organs upon what was known as leases or contracts of condi- tion@l sale; that on November 19, 1892, while indebted to the complaina in the sum of $27,000, the locai firm, desiring to purchase other pianos upon credit, an agree- ment was made whereby Metzerott & Co. assigned to the complainants 143 leases, as described above, to be held as security for the payment of the indebtedness. The leases, it Is asserted, were left in the Possession of Metzerott & Co., with author- ity to collect the money due thereon, which was to be accounted for. Hardman, Peck & Co. claim that $24,000 is due them; that Messrs. Barnard and Luckett, the assignees of the firm of Metzerott & Co., refuse to Surrender the leases or account for the same. ii 1.25 to Baltimore. Via the B. and O.

An Enjoyable Banquet and Some Ex- cellent Speeches in Reply to Toasts, For the third time the officers and teach- ers of the Calvary Baptist Sunday school met in reunion last night. The occasion was particularly interesting as it was the first time that the new building, that was opened for use about a month ago, had ever held such a gathering. Its utility was well demonstrated, for the large crowd that gathered to hear the words of cheer for the coming year of work was amply accommo- dated. Downstairs there were two large rooms for the uncloaking of the guests, and in the rear was the vast auditorium, which on Sundays fs occupied by the junior de- partment of the school, but which last night was a perfect bower of beauty and delight. The walls were almost hidden by rows of potted plants, whose deep green leaves formed a very effective background for the dainty tables, which were prettily decor- ated. Upstairs, on the second floor, one of the large class rooms had been turned into a reception hall, where the officers and teachers, their wives and husbands and oth- er guests gathered in pleasant conversation from 8 until 9 o'clock. The Banquet and Speechmaking. After all the diners had arrived, about a hundred in number, the signal was given by Mr. Pierson H. Bristow, the superintendent of the school, and the toastmaster of the evening, who led the way to the hall below. The table was set in the form of a gridiron, at the head of which sat Mr. Bristow, sur- rounded by the speaker# of the evening. Prof. S. H. Greene, with Mrs. Bristow, Mr. S. W. Woodward, with Mrs. S. E. Payne, and Rev. E. W. Bliss, with Mrs. D. A. Chambers, were on the right, while Dr. T. 3. Hamlin, with Mrs. Olcott, Representative 8. =. Payne, with Mrs. Woodward, and Mr. Joseph Story of Boston, with Mrs. R. E. Earll, were on the left. The menu card was quite appropriate, bearing on the face a fine illustration of the Calvary Church. After the banquet, which occupied the attention of the guests for an hour or more, Mr. Bristow cleared the way for the toasts, and made a happy little speech, touching upon the reason for the gathering, and then Introducing, as ‘the first speaker, Mr. D. A. Chambers, who re- sponded to the toast, “Retrospect.” He was reminiscent and told of old days, when the Calvary folks worshiped with the people of the E Street Baptist Church, where that quaint figure in American history, Sam. Houston, attended. He mentioned ‘a par- ticular trick of Houston's, who was accus- tomed to whittle at a pine stick throughout the service. After mentioning the names of many distinguished men who have wor- shiped at Calvary, he spoke of the marvel- ous sucess of the Sunday school connected with the church as due in a large degree to the fact that the teachers ure always pro- gressive and eager to keep abreast with the times. Thus young instructors are brought to the front, and those who have outgrown the times are relegated to the rear: High Water Mark. Mr. Bristow introduced Mr. S. W. Wood- ward for the next toast, “High-water mark,” as a liberal contributor to the building fund. Mr. Woodward referred Pleasantly to the present status of the school in “the community and spoke en- couragingly for the future. He agreed with the preceding speaker that modern methods are the best, and he argued that the school should always be considered as an adjunct to suport the work of the pastor of the church. Nothing, he urged, should be done in strife or unwholesome rivalry, but all should be for the general good of the school, which he happily liken- ed to the ship of Zion. Miss Lydia Marshall, the principal of the primary department, next spoke on “High- ways and Hedges.” As the Sunday school missionary, she spoke from experience. She told of her work in. the alleys, dark and narrow stairways to small an dingy rooms, and told of her reception at doors that would be opened but a littl until she would say: “I am from C: Sunday school,” which is always an open sesame. Her response was eloquent and thoughtful. Prof. R. W. Prentiss of Rutgers College, a former superintendent of the school, was warmly welcomed when he arose to re- spond to the toast, “Things for today.” He mentioned the marvelous changes in the field of science and of the importance of “things” in the Sunday school work. He spoke of the splendid opportunities for Calvary in its finely equipped building, and prophesied greater results than has yet been accomplished. Judge L. R. Smith, who teaches a class of 100 men and women, responded to “The economy of good cheer” very happily. He defined the terms of his toast and told a good story to illustrate his points. He be- leved that if any one in the world should be cheerful it should be the Sunday school teacher. Mrs. E. W. Bliss, in speaking to the sen- timent “The True Measure of Life,” com- pared some of the great workers in the re- ligious world with some of the great of his- tory in other fields of labor, and expressed the belief that he who labors for the up- butiding of the human race, the salvation of men and women, has the true measure of life applied to his living. Distinctive Functien of the Sunday School. Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin of the Church of the Covenant made some very happy remarks on the subject of “The Distinctive Function of the Sunday School,” touching what he had seen and heard during the evening, and referred In glowing terms to the beautiful surroundings. He wittily referred to having come to the chance of his life in Washing- ton, for he had at last tt ahead of Dr. Greene, the pastor of Calvary, being first on the program, and thus he could make Dr. Greene await for his time to speak. He wondered that Prof. Prentiss could have found anything new to send forth from New Brunswick, and thus he went on haj plly, and kept the diners in good humor. He illustrated more by what he did not on the particular topic assigned him, his speech was greatly enjoyed. No one stands in the presence of the offi- cers and teachers of Calvary who is more welcome or more eagerly heard than Dr. Greene, the pastor, who spoke last night about “A Wide Horizon.” In poetic lan- guage he referred to his early life in a little valley in the mountains of Vermont, where the horizon was at the most only five miles ym mit of which he saw in the distance the beautiful mountains and valleys of the wider horizon. He applied this thought to Sunday school work, as well as church work, and told of the great possibilities of Calvary. Closing in almost prophetic words, he gave great encouragement to the workers. Those Who Participated. This ended the program, and it was near midnight when the guests dispersed from the most successful reunion that Calvary has ever known. Those who participated were Dr. T. S. Hamlin, Dr. and . Greene, Prof. R. W. Prentiss of New Jersey, Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Woodward, Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Bristow, Mr. and Mrs. 8S. E. Payne, Mr. and Mrs. John Boyd, Mr. and Mrs. E. W.

Cinderella by Children.—A big show by little people is the performance of “Cin- derelila” by Carl Marwig’s Pantomime Company at Albaugh’s this week. The fas- einations of the fairy tale do not cease with childhood, by any means, and the adventures of the sweetly patient and modestly beautiful little heroine proved as enjoyable to the grown folk as it was to the youngsters. But the performance is a veritable treat for the latter. It is much better than a picture book. There is more of it. It is more realistic and more beauti- ful. The dancing is one of the best things about the performance—although, of course, the substantial element of its enjoyability is the work of the wee ones, who are as expert in expressing themselves in language as many adult performers, Zelda Sanders is the little lady who takes the part of Cinderella, and she is admirable both in her acting and her dancing. Anna Wilks, Little Leo, Elsie Jones, Violet Dale, the Chappelle sisters, Marie Richardson, Carolina Haviland and Lillian Bertram all have something to do, which they execute | B. so charmingly that it seems for the time being the one feature of conspicuous merit in the performance. Miss Haviland is re- markable in her clever imitation of Car- mencita, and she dances with exquisite grace and skill. Cinderella presents a com- bination of novelty and splendor, well as cleverness, that would seem certain to endear it to the popular heart, not merely for se season, but for a long series of ly matinees. Mr. Marwig, who has trained these children, is pleasantly re- membered as having had charge of the kirmess here some years ago, when Mrs. Cleveland was one of the chief patronesses of the event. Albaugh’s.—The final week of the regu- lar season at Albaugh’s will be devoted to the production of “‘Wang,” the most fa mous work of win and Morse. “Wang,” than which no comic opera has had a greater success, brings with it a gor- | K. geo array of absolutely new and accu- rately Siamese costumes and magnificent scenery, which, with equal accuracy, repre- sents the Siamese localities in which the scenes of the opera are laid. Of the opera itself lovers of wit, merriment and music need be told nothing. In the music and Ubretto there have been no changes. It is still the bright and dashing opera which for two seasons has delighted the entire country. The record made by “Wang” in the last few months in Philadelphia, Mon- treal, Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans, Atlanta and all the large cities has been the talk and envy of the theatrical profes- sion. It comes to Albaugh’s direct from an equally successful engagement at the American Theater, in New York city. The engagement there closes tonight, and the entire company of more than sixty people, with their own orchestra and an entire car- load of special scenery, will be brought to Washington tomorrow. The cast will re- main the same, and the entire production will be identical in every respect with that now being given in New York. The prin- cipals will include Edwin Stevens, the dis- tinguished comedian, to whom is due much of the fame of the New York Casino, and who has already a name here. Among others who have not hitherto been seen in “Wang” will be Miss Virginia Earl, who, by the charm of her impersonation of soubrette roles with the Hoyt & Thomas farce comedies, has come to be recognized as among the leaders in that line of stage work; Miss Ethel Lynton, who will be re- membered as a bewitching Olivette; Miss Florence Drake, a young singer of great ability, who comes heralded as one of the future artists of high rank; Miss Mittie Atherton, who, by her grace and voice, was long a favorite in the Duff Opera Company; Agnes Reilley Mi of the composer of “Wang,” who will ap- pear in the part she created; John A. Parks, Charles Burrows, Carvin Mauvell and others. New National Theater.—Mr. Nat C. Good- win will play a return engagement at the New National Theater next week, this time appearing in the amusing comedy, “A Gild- ed Fool.” j Academy of Music.—A new farce comedy, entitled “Rush City,” based on the manner in which western towns are boomed by real estate speculators and others, will be seen for the first time in this city at the Acad- emy of Music next week. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Johnny Grif- fin's Big Athletic and Specialty Company will be the attraction at the Lyceum next week. Griffin, who is well known as the Braintree Lad, recently fought young Grif- fo “a draw” $9, onto . He is accompanied by Ike Weir, e Belfast Spider,” who at every ‘formance with Griffin will meet some aspirant in a scientific glove contest for points. As an inducement the management will offer $50 to any one in his whom Griffin fails to best in four rounds. The vaudeville portion of the pro- decidedly good one, and is com- posed of a number of well-known specialty artists, among whom are Monroe and Mack, described ag the kings of black-face com- edy; Conroy and McFarland, “The Two Shamrocks; Al Grant, America’s premier mimic and character impersonator supreme; Campbell and Evans, character comedy artists up to date; Miss Gertrude Reynolds in her original conception, entitled ‘Papa's Little Girl;* Finley and Burke in their laughable farce, ‘“Town Hall Tonight;” Miss Nellie Parker, America’s descriptive vocal- ist; The Only Evans in his refined athletic specialty and Joseph F. Campbell, vocal comedian. During this engagement there will be matinees daily. The Mikado.—Tonight the performance cf “The Mikado” by the Mask and Wig Club will be repeated at Metzerott's Hall. The performance on Thursday night was 80 unique and so successful that the ladies of the Loyal Legion, under whose auspices it was given, were compelled by the numer- ous requests made on them to announce its repetition, and tonight those who did not have an opportunity to witness the ex- cellent work of the Washington amateurs who compose the club at that time will un- doubtedly fill the hall. The college boys who have come here from Philadelphia and presented their burlesques have had many years of experience, and then, too, in their plays they can select such music as is best adapted to their capabilities. But this lo- cal organization starts out with a regular opera that is as well known as Mother Goose’s melodies, and plays it and sings it in a manner that justifies warm com. mendation. That shows the talent of t members and also the earnestness and abfl- ity of the director. Metzerott Hall sho: be crowded tonight. Picturesque Japan.—Rev. Jenichiro Oyabe, an intelligent and interesting native of Tokio, Japan, will appear at Carroll Insti- tute Hall cn Monday evening, and conduct his hearers through picturesque Japan as only a native can. Rev. Oyabe wears Japan- ese costume, illustrates his talk with seven- ty-five magnificent stereopticon views and portraits, and is said to be as familiar with Mikado’s land as any person who has ever attempted to describe its beauties. The Eames Concert.—Those persons who appreciate music in the full sense of the word are eagerly looking forward to Tues- day evening next, when a grand operatic concert, under the management of C. A. El- lis, is announced to take place at Metzerott Music Hall. Mme. Emma Eames, the dis- tinguished prima donna, will make her first appearance in this city Mme. Eames is to be accompanied by Mme. Sofia Scalchi, Mr. Ben. Davies, the famous English tenor, and the Knelsel quartet, Mr. Frank Knetsel,tirst violin; Mr. Otto Roth, second violin; Mr. L. Svecenski, viola, and Mr. Alwin Schroeder, violoncello. Mr. Victor Harris is the pianist of the company, and a brilliant program will be rendered. The affair is certain to prove a notable event in the musical history of Washington. Summer Opera at Albaugh’s.—The Edgar Strakosch Opera Company will inaugurate the summer season of light opera at Al- baugh’s Grand Opera House on Monday, May 7, opening with Lecocq’s gem, “Girofle- Giro: with Miss Avery Strakosch in the title role. The season will continue for eight weeks. Mr. Strakosch has made some very satisfactory innovations in his management of the company. During pre- vious seasons there has always been a long walt at the doors for those holding admis- sion tickets. This season different methods will be adopted. Every seat in the theater will be reserved. The orchestra and or- chestra circle back to the last four rows will be 75 and 50 cents, respectively. Back m tickets will be sold for 25 cents. The same obtains in the balcony, which will be 50 and 25 cents. In addition to this, a book containing ten slips will be sold for $6.50. These slips will be ex- changed at the box-office for the best seats at any performance during the season. The company is a strong one, including M‘! Avery Strakosch, who made an enviable name with Clara Louise Kellogg, Boston Ideals, McCaull and other well-known op- era companies; Louise Moore, Jessie Brad- bury, Alice Hosmer, Chas. A. Bigelow, Guy Standing, J. K. Adams, Geo. H.
