Judge Hags:r yesterday granted Amelia ©. Westiall a divorce from Adelbert D. Westfall. The parties were married in Bal- timore, Md., September 1, 1888, by the Rev. Geo. E. Jones. No children were born to them, and the complainant alleged that her husband deserted her October 2, 1888. The Judge also directed a decree of divorce in the case of Clara A. Pfleging agt. John Pfleging. She showed that they were mar- ried in the city of New York on the 6th of October, 183, by the Rev. John Floyd Steen; that no children were born to them, and that. on the 25th of July, 1838, she was abandoned by her husband. In the case of Mollie S. ‘W. Phillips, Judge Hagner has directed a decree of divorce. The suit was instituted November 11, 1892, and the papers in the case were not made public. ‘hillips agt.

The manager’s report | ed that the association is in a very healthy condition financially and musically. —__ Twenty Years a Pastor. Sunday was an occasion of more than or- dinary interest at the Fourth Presbyterian Church, it being the twentieth anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. Joseph T. Kelly. In commemoration of the event, the ladies of the congregation had tastefully decorated the pulpit platform with potted plants and cut flowers. After a modest allusion to his term of service and the mutual affectionate relations between his people and himself, the pastor delivered an eloquent sermon from the text, “He shall come down like showers upon the mown grass." porate An Ex-Special Fined.

Clossen Writes a Letter to the : Commissioners. Across the Eastern branch the old soap factory is running full blast, and as a consequence the air, for miles around, is laden with offersive odors. Since the warm weather set in the odors have been almost unbearable, in fact they have become such @ nuisance that Col. Henry W. Clossen, the commander of the Washington bar- racks, has entered a vigorous protest with the Commissioners against e mainte- nance of the nuisance. His letter concludes as follows: “This poisoning of the reser- vation has been going on for years, and at times to an extent, as I personally know, to cause serious nausea and sickness, and in- stead of again reporting the matter through military channels, I judge it best directly to call the attention of your body to the imposition. “Ample testimony can at any time be secured from all the officers of the reserva- tion as to the very offensive nature of this factory.” — JAILED FOR LACK OF BAIL. Samuel H. Dyott Held at Rockville for Bigamy. ‘The anticipated hearing at Rockville of the case of Samuel H. Dyott, charged with bigamy, drew a large crowd of interested spectators to the court house yesterday. Dyott, who is charged with marrying Miss Margaret O. Ricketts of Washington at Rockville in March last while having an- other wife living in Baltimore, was brought from the jail, where he has been confined for the past week, to the court house about | 2 o'clock, where he found a number of wit- messes for the prosecution. A preliminary hearing was waived, and Dyott was re- manded to jail in default of $2,500 bail. Among those in attendance were the father of the prisoner, Miss Margaret O. Ricketts, Rev. Father Rosensteel, who performed the ceremony, and several other interested parties from Washington and Baltimore. Mr. Edward C. Peter, prosecuting attorney, appeared for the state, and Dyott was rep- resented by Messrs. Campbell Carrington of the District bar and James B. Henderson of Rockville. It is rumored that an effort will be made to bring the accused before Judge Vinson of the circuit court on a writ of | habeas corpus, with a view of having the bail reduced. ——__ ‘The Churchman’s Leagée. ‘The Churchman’s League of the District of Columbia met last evening at St. John’s parish hall, Commissioner Truesdell, the third vice president, in the chair. ‘The members present proceeded at once to sign the constitution and pay the re- quired initiation fee. It was announced by the chairman for the benefit of those de- sirous and entitled to sign as charter mem- bers that the constitution will be kept for that purpose at the office of the treasurer, Mr. W. P. Young, 1303 F street, as the most central place for that purpose, for thirty days from the 3d instant. The first vice president having declined, Secretary Herbert, second vice president, was elected to that office, and Henry E. Pellew, esq., was elected second vice presi- dent. The executive committee was authorized to prepare by-laws and order of business and to submit same for action. The question of division of the diocese was broached as a topic for reflection and dis- cussion, in view of the near approach of the annual diocesan convention, but no specific action was considered necessary at this time. The report of the first meeting of the executive committee was made, appointing the nominating committee. Lewis J. Davis has been designated as chairman and Messrs. J. Holdswortn Gordon, O. B. Hal- lam, Geo. W. Salter and Harry C. Whiting members. The executive committee met im- mediately after adjournment. It was de- cided that the first league dinner shall be in the fall. The Churchman’s League is now fairly and prosperously under way. PRN eae Challenged the Policeman. ‘Theodore Scrivener has figured in police circles and court and workhouse society as a vagrant, and now he wants to appear in the role of a pugilist. He drinks liquor every time he gets an opportunity and never does he fail to get arrested when in this condition. Last evening he met Police- man Wortz, and the latter arrested him. Theodore imagined that he had not been given a fair chance to do right, but Judge Kimball told him this morning that if he would let liquor alone and behave himself he would have no need for chances. “Bonds or sixty days,” said the court. “If you give me six minutes with this policeman,” the prisoner said, “I’ll be will- ing to go to prison for hfe.” “And if you repeat any such language as that,"’ added the judge, “you will spend more time in prison.” He went back. es Appomattox Anniversary. Encampment No. 69, Union Veterans’ Legion, at its Jast meeting adopted a reso- lution indorsing the proposition to hold a national peace jubilee at Washington dur- ing the week beginning April 19, 1895. This will be the thirtieth anniversary of Appo- mattox. A march of the Union and con- federate veterans up Pennsylvania avenue is contemplated. The’ resolution requests the Commissioners to issue invitations to the various orgenizations of veterans and sons of veterans. —.-—_—_ National Stxtistical Association. ‘There will be a meeting of the National Statistical Association at the board of trade rooms this evening. Judge Lawrence will continue his remarks and present statistics relative to the wool industry, and Mr. J. K. Upton will make an address on’ the wealth and taxation of the United States.

Rebecca Josephine Marr was married to Milton C. Dent in this city, by the Rev. John H. Elliott, on the 12th of February, 1879. Yesterday she applied for a divorce. stating in her bill of complaint that they lived together until November, 1887, when her husbard willfully deserted and abandon- ed her. Since then she says her hy nd has resided in New York city. They have three children—Josephine, ag2d fourteen; Helen, aged twelve, and Louis, aged seven. She prays for a decre2 of divorce and the care and custody of the children. eel ‘The Pioneer Low-Priced Batter Dealer Again to the front with those 5-pound boxes Fancy Creamezy Butter at $1.25, the fi ‘oduced by the churn.

Albaugh’s.—There was a metropolitan fla- vor about Albaugh’s last night, which, not- withstanding Washington's unquestioned discrimination in things theatrical, was in the nature of the unusual. Manager Allen, in his work of remodeling, has proceeded with a thoroughness and a liberality whieh makes it one of the prettiest and most commodi- ous theaters in the country. The size of the house, at one time calculated to give a cer- tain impression of bleakness, now, under the influence of the well arranged lights, gives an idea of spacious hospitality. The spirit of progress manifests itself, too, in the dressing of the employes. After passing the entrance areh, refulgent with electric Ughts playing upon gilded ornamentation and rich floral decoration, the amusement- seeker meets, half-way up the lobby, the well-known figure of Treasurer Arthur Smith, who smiles from his retreat in the box office in all the immaculate radiance of evening dress. The doorkeeper is ap- propriately attired in conventional garb and the ushers have donned uniforms which insure their neat appearance at all times and identify them immediately to the eye of the visitor. Rugs were laid on the floor of the entrance and palms afforded graceful embellishment. The mosaic tiling of the floor is in harmony with the general effect and the whole impression is one of richness, the choicest materials of the decorator being employed lavishly, yet with an excellent eye to artistic harmony, Not- withstanding the strong counter-attraction which Barnum & Bailey offered, the theater contained a crowd of dimensions seldom noted there. It was a case of standing- room only, very early in the evening, and Manager Allen was busily employed in ex- pressing his appreciation of felicitations showered upon him, not only for the success of his effort to give Washington a handsome theater, but for the manifest disposition of the public to show a prompt and substan- tial appreciation. The recurrence of the summer opera season was a welcome event; this was shown by the applause and the laughter which greeted the efforts of the Strakosch Opera Company to edify and divert. e familiar and amusing“Girofle-Girofla” w the vehicle by which the talents of a vety praiseworthy organizatien were dis- played. The company introduces some old favorites, and some people who are new to the theater goers of the city in this ¢on- nection, E. 8. Connor is the business man- ager of the company, Mr. Hageman the stage manager and Prof. Reynoids the music director. The smoothness of the per- formance reflected great credit on Mr.Hage- man and Mr. Reynolds, and showed a ¥kill and animation which promised the best re- sults with the orchestra. ‘The conductor is of the rising generation in music, and has the spirit of youth combined with that sub- stantial developement which the facilities for modern musical education make possible. Harriet Avery Strakosch sang the part of parts of Girofle-Girofla in a highly gratity- ing manner, displaying a voice of delicacy, firmness and great flexibility. Charles Bigelow secured the welcome that always awaits him in this city. Fred. Huntley is a good tenor, and everybody knows what George Broderick can do. Alice Hosmer has @ comedy part, which suits her admirably in Dona Aurora, and the minor characters are taken in a satisfactory manner. The new costumes contributed much to an occa- sion which was one of uniform and con- spicuous brilliancy. There were some nota- ble people in the audience, among them be- ing Bronson Howard and David Belasco,two of the best known dramatists; Harrison Grey Fiske, editor of the New York Dra- matic Mirror, and several other New York journalists and authors; Senators Chandler and Gibson, and a large representation from both houses of Congress. A novelty that struck the theater goer at the very entrance was a “carriage an- nouncer” in the person of a tall, fine look- ing mulatto man, attired in cream livery, who assisted people in alighting from their carriages, and who called the vehicies when the performance was over. National.—“Lord Chumley” held a large reception at the National Theater last night, and it was a glittering success, so to speak. “Lord Chumley” is not a stranger in Washington, and he has made friends et.ough here to warrant a big time when he opened house for the week. And what goes of “Lord Chumley” goes of Mr. E. H. Sothern, who has so closely identified him- self with that eccentric nobleman. Possibly in no other role is Mr. Sothern scen to bet- ter advantage than in this, and its recep- tion last night showed how popular play and player was with the people. Associat- g e cast with Mr. Sothern are Mr. ckstone, Mr. Sternroyd, Mr. Selten, Mr. Beret Mr, Flockton, Mr. North, Miss faba} Miss Warren, Miss Selten and Miss Giroux, all good actors, and in thor- ough touch with part and people. A pret- tier Eleanor than Miss Kimball is would be hard to find, and a Meggier Meg than Marion Giroux is not now in sight. It is hardly fair, though, to discriminate in the distribution of praise, for each one ts equal- ly worthy with another. Academy.—To one dropping into the Acad- emy last night without previous warning the applause would have indicated that a riproarious comic opera was on, or that a political speech in a hot campaign was the object of the meeting. It was of the kind that comes spontaneously and with the ex- plosive effect of suddenly released emo- uons, and it had the same inspiring effect. Yet it was neither comic opera nor a polit- ical speech; it was grand opera, and the opera was Verdi's “Il Trovatore,” that era in which is the soul of music and of melody, and which lives in poetry es well #s in song. It is said to be “bad form” to be enthusiastic over grand opera, and if that be true last night's audience at the Academy was in bad form, but it enjoyed the opera, and the singers had no fault to find with them because they did. For years “Il Trovatore” has been a standard and a stand-by, and its beautiful melodies are part and parcel of our music language, and will ever remain so. As presented by the Hinrichs Opera Company, with Selma Koert-Kronold as Leonora, Rosina Torriant as Inez, Katherine Fleming as Agzucena, A. 1. Guille as Manrico, Del Puente as Count di Lune, Viviani es Feranmdo and R. Lu- chino as Ruiz, aided by a good chorus and @ very superior orchestra, it is hardly to be expected that anything but the best results should be had, and they were. Del Puente’s Count is a fine figure in the opera, and the artist retains his held upon his art and his audiences. Mr. Gujlle’s beautiful tenor voice is a pleasure and a surprise, and Viv- jiani’s bass is profound. Of the ladies it may be said that, while hardly equal to the men in merit, they did not come far short, and sang with artistic effect and dramatic fervor. There were three or four curtain calis at the close of the first act, and the audience was carried clear off its feet by frad spirited singing of Guille in Di quella pira. Tonight “Martha” will be given, with Nina Bertini Humphreys as Lady Harriett, Katherine Fleming as Nancy, A. L. Guille as Lionel, E. N. Knight as Plunkett and Chi Story as Lord Tristam. There will be a literary and musical en- tertainment in the chapel of the Church of the Covenant tomorrow evening, under the auspices of the Men's Society. The proceeds will be devoted to establishing a free library and reading room at Peck Chapel. Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-Cliff will sing and Mr. Strength and Vitality GIVEN TO MOTHER AND CHILD. HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA MAKES THE WEAK STRONG AND HEALTHY, “C. L Hood & Co., Lowel, Mass.: “I most emphatically declare that my good health of today is due to the use of Hood's Sar- saparilla. I have been blessed with strength and vitality to care for four little ones, and bad I not been fortunate enough to use Hood's Sarsaparilla the result would have been disastrous to me and my family as well.

Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—George Dix- on’s Athletic and Specialty Company is at Kernan’s this week, and last night the house was crowded to see the clever col- ored boxer who has vanquished all the best feather-weight prize fighters in the world. After the specialties, which embrace, among others, Billy Van and Lillie Leslie, the clever sketch artists; Dixon and Lang,musi- cal Ethiopians; Nellie Seymour, singing soubrette; the Donovens, Binns and Burns, Kitty Nelson, Foster and Nelson, Murphy and McCoy and the Pattersons on the triple horizontal bar, the athletic part of the pro- gram wes announced. After some very fun- ny amateur bouts, George Dixon and Jack Lynch, his sparring partner, gave a clever exhibition of an assault at arms, and Joe Walcott, who claims the championship of Australia,announced his willingness to meet all comers. Again tonight. ~~. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS. Still Moving Toward Securing the Big 1896 Convention, The executive committee of the District of Columbia Christian Endeavor Union met at the Assembly Presbyterian Church last evening. The meeting opened with the usual devotional exercises, conducted by the Union president. ° Reports were then received relative to the work of the press committee of the Union and the preliminary committee of "96. President McArthur made a statement in regard to the “state umbrella” to be award- ed in Cleveland to the Christian Endeavor Union having the largest proportion of socteties contributing to missions under the “two-cents-a-week"” plan. He hoped that every society would adopt this scheme, not for the sake alone of securing this ‘‘um- brella,” but for the intrinsic merit of this plan for raising money for missions. The next business transacted was the ap- pointment of the committee which should nominate the officers of the Union for the next term, these nominations to be acted upon at the annual election on June 22. ‘The following were the members of the committee selected by the various denom- inational representatives: Lutheran—S. EK. Kramer, W. F. Stowell, C. H. Butler. Christian—J. A. Runyan, Andrew Wilson, Miss Lena Summy. Presbyterian—T. G. Randall, W. B. Robinson, W. H. H. Smith. United Brethren—W. W. Topham. A.M:E.— E.

Johnson, Wm. Walker. The nominating committee was instructed to nominate two persons for each office, and to prepare printed ballots and send them to presidents of local societies. The president of each society is to come to the annual meeting on June 22 and re- turn the ballots cast by the active members ect with a tally sheet properly attested. ‘he new plan is thought to be an excel- lent one. —__.
