ACTIVE CHRISTIAN WORKERS Monthly Mass Meeting of the Epworth | League Last Evening. Reports Received Showing the In- crease in Numbers—Singing by the League Choir. An enthusiastic and largely attended mass meeting of the Epworth League of the District was held last evening at Foundry Church, 14th and G streets. In addition to the fact that it was the usual monthly meeting of the Leaguers of the District, the day marked the fifth anniver- sary of the organization of this growing and important branch of the work of the Methodist Church. The members of the various chapters came to the church bear- ing their banners, which marked their posi- tion in the auditorium. As is customary on such occasions, the music was spirited, and formed an attractive feature of the evening's program. The singing was led by the Epworth League choir, conducted by J. W. Dyer. The first vice president of the League, Mr. James E. Pugh, who has charge of the spiritual department of the work, presided, and seated with him on the platform and also occupying chairs inside the altar rail were many of the Methodist pastors of the city. Brown, pastor of Foundry Church, the pre- a selection from the Scriptures, and the secretary of the league, F. T. Israel, called the roll of the chapters, and reports were made on behalf of each by their presidents. A Growing Membership. It was found that the total membership of the league in the District now numbers 2,962, which is an increase of 754 for the last six months. President F. J. Metcalf of Foundry re- Ported a chapter of 240 members; Mr. H. A. Harding spoke for Metropolitan with a membership of 207; G. C. Huff said that the chapter at Hamline was in splendid condition, with a roll of 200 members, and W. R. Mitchell, from McKendree, said that they had elected two delegates to Pitts. burg, with a total membership of 181. From Waugh, J. A. Edgar said that they were making a healthy progess, with an active membership of 122. W. H. Main, from Wesley Chapel, arnounced that his chapter had twenty. members present, out of a total of 121, and George S. Gibson, from Grace, showed that this chapter, or- ganized in September of '92, had grown to number 73. . M. Croft repozted from Douglas Memorial. F.A. Ruff from Gorsuch, John James from Dumbarton Avenue, J. E. Sick from ‘North Capitol, Miss M. Emmert from Union, A. A. Hancock from Fourth Street, C. E. Williams from Twelfth | Street, Jackson. A. Winner from Fifteenth Street, Dr. A. M. Green from Anacostia, Arthur Baxter from. Kensington, and F. A. Woodward from Epworth Church. Power, Not Machinery. The league rallying song,which was written by Mrs. Hattie-E. Buell, was sung for the second time last evening. The air is March- ing Through Georgia, and the rendition of the hymn was marked’ with a good deal of spirit. The president.of the league, C. M. Lacey Sites, made some encouraging comments on the progress of the organiza- tion, as shown by the reports, which had been received. He also spoke in an appre- elative way of the services of Mr. Pugh in behalf of the league. Rev. Dr. Merritt Hulburd, the pastor of Grace Street Church, Wilmington, Del., made an earnest and entertaining address, in which he re- ferred to the past of Methodism, and pre- dicted the time when the laity would throw off many of the present restrictions of church government. He thought that the ghurch had enough machinery and plenty of cogs and bands. What it needed was more power in the wheels and journals. He spoke of the overthrow of the despotic features of John Wesley's plans, and ex- pressed the hope that the young members of the league would show the same spirit that thelr fathers displayed. After further singing a consecration service of siuging and prayer was held. The next mass meet- ing will be held at the Metropolitan Church on the evening of June 13, + 1 A Forty-Niner and Active in the De- $ velopment of the Wes The death of Alexander C. Hunt at his residence in Tenleytown yesterday closes a career which was actively identified with many of the interesting and important features in the development of the west. For the past six years Gov. Hunt, as he was known, has been a resident of this city. His home was at 1446 Rhode Island avenue. In 1891, while at Chicago, he had an attack of paralysis, and his recovery, whife partial, was never complete. His hesjth became impaired, and he built a resflence at Tenleytown which he had only recently occupied. The funeral services, which will be private, will be held tomor- row, the interment being at Congressional ery. Hunt was born at Hammondsport, N. Y., in the year 1829. When a child he was taken by his parents to Freeport, IIl., which became their home. Here his early life was spent and he was honored by his fellow citizens by being elected mayor, and given other places of trust. He crossed the plains in 1849, and returning in the latter part of the 50's, he went to Colorado, mak- ing his residence at Denver. He was elec’ ed a.delegate to Congress from that terri- tory, and later he was appointed governor. He subsequently had charge of the Indians in that territory. He was president of the construction company of the Denver and Rio’Grande railroad, and also projected the idee of the construction of the Mexican National railroad from Laredo to the City of Mexico. He had large property inter- ests in Texas and in Mexico. He was twice married and leaves a wife and three children. EX-GOV. HUNT DEAD. —__—- A Bill in Equity. In @ bill of equity, filed yesterday after- noon by Geo. W. Mungale against Alfred W.

Albaugh's Grand Opera House.—The tink- Ung fluency of melody which pervadé@ the “Little Duke” was interpreted in a graceful and effective manner to an appreciative audience at Albaugh’s last night. Manager Strakosch has in organizing his company shown good perception as to the adaptabil- ity of particular individuals to certain roles. The result is that his company is a well- balanced one, competent to do justice not only to the conspicuous numbers of the opera, but to the music in general and to the comedy. There is an abundance of fun in “Little Duke,” and the fact that it does | not belong to the list of operas which have been hammered at season after season by | company after company gives it a freshness | that adds materially to the enjoyability of (its performance. The chorus is a notably | good one. It has voices and good looks, the | costumes being worn with a grace which adds to their original richness of effect. A rovelty is introduced in the school room (scene, when Miss Edah Carr, a child who sings the most difficult music with an ease jand accuracy which would seem possible only with matured experience, performs | Gilda’s song from the second act of “Rig- oletto.” Her voice has a purity and fullness remarkable in one of such years, and she |1s compared by all who are competent to |speak to Patti as she sang at that age. Avery Strakosch as Fabrice, Duke of Par- thenay, merited compliments for her per- | formance, and Charles A. Bigelow in the role of Frimousse confirmed an impression which has been growing in this city for sev- | eral seasons that he fs one of the best light opert comedians before the public. Alice Hosmer filled a role that was well suited to her with characteristic efficlency, and the remainder of the cast acquitted itself in a | fashion which reflected credit on all con- cerned. The company will, after this week, bave the benefit of the talent of the popular soubret, Miss Mamie Gilroy, who appeared in this city with so much success in the “Milk White Flag,” and later with the “Black Crook.” Academy.—More noticeable, perhaps, even than the excellence of the performances is the enthusiasm which characterizes the appearance of the audiences night after night at the Academy during the short sea- son of grand opera by the Hinrichs Com- pany, and last night, with Leoncavallo’s opera “I Pagliacci,” as the attraction, was no exception. It was a full house, and its enthusiasm carried it so far in the first as to demand that Canio (Mr. Guille) tear | a passion to tatters the second time, as he did when first discovering the disloyalty | of Nidda (Miss Koert-Kronold). This opera | by Leoncavallo was in competition for that | prize won by Mascagni’s “Cavalleria,” and | it is said that if it had been in one act instead of two it would have won the prize. Naturally, then, comparisons will be made between the two operas, and if a vote were | taken in Washington the honor would re- main as it is. Yet “Pagliacci” is a fine lt- tle opera, with music through it, in which the orchestra has opportunities to divide honors with the singers. In plot it is as intense as the most Italian nature could demand, and the contrast of the real and the simulated adds to this. It is the simple story of a clown with a traveling com- pany, whose wife is the Columbine, and she is loved by another player and she loves a rustic. The rejected lover tells the hus- band, and he finds his wife in her lover's arms. Then in the play they present to the audience a similar plot is enacted, and the audience, enthusiastic over the fine playing of the clown, is suddenly shocked by his plunging a knife into his wife and then into her lover as he springs from the audience to her rescue. Mr. Guille, as the husband, despite his physical ideality, is | Powerful in the part, both in singing and acting. Mme. Kronold as his wife is pas- sionate and tender and scornful by turns, and at every turn artistic and realistic. Del Puente, as Tonio, the Iago of the piece, in clown’s uniform, is not so handsome as usual, but there is no disguising his voice. Mr. Storey and Mr. Ganor, the two remaining singers in the cast, were good. The choruses were better than heretofore and won applause on their own score, as did also the orchestra, and Director Hin- richs was compelled to appear before the curtain at the close of the second act. The opera rests largely on the orchestration, and this is strongly descriptive. The New National Theater.—The Hopperi- an school of humor proved effective, as usual, at the New National Theater last night when the jolly aggregation of musical and com performers, who make up the company for “‘Panjandrum” appeared. The | rollicking songs, as well as the pretty bits of sentimental melody, were interpreted with the dash which characterizes the com- pany in which prosperity adds its stimulat- ing influence to competent manugemen both on the stage and in front. tumes are handsome, as usual, and the stage settings have the oriental gorgeous- ness which the public has learned to expect from a production which has Manager B. D. Stevens at the helm. “Panjandrum" be- longs strictly to the modern school of the lighter musical productions, and it has the merit of displaying De Wolf Hopper in all the glory of his pranksome avoirdupuls. There is only one De Wolf Hopper. Rew comedians have so humorous a ‘personal- ity, and none other on the stage has so much of it. And Della Fox in all her daintiness sings and frisks in a way that | compels the admiration of the masculine | | contingent, and brings susceptible feminity to her feet in an instant. Miss Pryor’s Testimonia Miss Carrie Pryor was tendered a complimentary testi- monial last night at Metzerott Music Hall | by her Washington friends, and the pro- gram was an interesting and varied one. Miss Pryor herself sang several numbers and joined with Mr. Sam Drane in a comedy sketch, very much to the delight of the audience. She looked exceedingly pret- ty and attractive, and several handsome bunches of beautiful roses were handed to her on the stage. The Apollo Quartet, composed of Messrs. W. D. McFarland, P. B. Turpin, F. P. Ree- side and B. A. Ryan sang in their usually excellent manner, and were thoroughly ap- preciated. Miss Alice Johnson's soprano solo was one of the features of the evening. Mr. David C, Bangs recited in faultless negro dialect “An Incident in Virginia Cam- |paigning.” For an encore he read from “The Man of the World,” Sir Pertinax | Maxcychophant’s advice to his son. The comié song, “Since Katie Got Struck on the Stage,” was sung by Mr. W. H. Conley, | who convulsed the house by his inimitable | manner, The Tuxedo Club rendered several selec- tions and responded to frequent recalls. Miss Pryor, accompanied by the Tuxedo Club, sang, as a closing number, “The Su- wannee River. Prof. Cardella's orchestra fave selections throughout the program,’ and characteristic songs were sung by Mr. Geo. D. Scott. Mr. Walter Stetson, with a recitation, Messrs. Cullen, Hale and Mc- Ernany in a banjo duet, with piauo accom- paniment, and Mr. Sam Drane materially contributed to the evening's entertainment. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—An audience of large size greeted Field and Hanson's “Drawing Cards” at Kernan's Lyceum Theater last night. This company is one of the best straight variety shows on the road jand contains many favorites. Field and | Hanson scored the usual hit in their musical specialties. Gallagher and West} were as humorous as ever; George Austin | | gave a clever exhibition on the slack wire; | the Salambos mystified the audience by their slight-of-hand performance; Maud | Beverly sang and danced exceedingly well: m and Grant, as the “Brutal a strong feature, and | Eldora and Curran, Charlie Case, Laud and | | Sharp, and Mile. Olivette all proved artists | of more than ordinary brightness and abil- | ity. The performance as a whole was far |above the average, and sent the audience | bome in great good humor. —__. —— Drowned in Rock Creek. Yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock a/ six-year-old colofed boy named Thomas | Fletcher was playing near Rock creek just above the M street bridge with a number of | companions, when he went too near the| | creek and fell overboard. His little com- | panions, badly frightened, ran for assist- ance, but the victim was dead when Po- | iceman McFeeny and others arrived. ‘The | body was recovered and sent to the third police station. Coroner Woodward gave a certificate of death, and later in the after- | noon the remains were taken to the home | of the deceased’s parents, No, 2033 L street northwest. a St Wednesday Excursions to River View.

The tenth national convention of the officials of bureaus of labor statistics in the United States will be held in this city, be- ginning its sessions in the hearing room of the interstate commerce commission, 1817 F street northwest, tomorrow at 10 o’clock a.m. Vice President S. V. Matthews will call the convention to order. Mr. Carroll D. Wright, United States com- missioner of labor, will deliver the address of welcome. The morning sessions will be devoted to reports as to the current work of bureaus and discussions thereupon, the election of officers and such other business as may properly be brought before the convention, and will be held upon Wednesday and Thursday, within such hours as the con- vention may determine. The afternoon of each day may be devoted to inspection of such statistical offices of the national gov- ernment at Washington as the convention may select, for the purpose of examination of methods, &c. Friday, May 18, may, if aesired, be devoted to an excursion to Mount Vernon, and the Soldiers’ Home, Arlington Heights and other points of interest in the city may be visited by delegates at such times as may be arranged after the con- vention ~ssembles. The executive commit- tee have thought best to arrange no formal program, but to leave the convention free to take such action as it may desire, within the limits above outlined. Who Are Delegates, Under the rules adopted by the national association at Denver, May 24, 1892, which remain in force so far as applicable until changed, commissioners and chiefs of state and national bureaus of labor and indus- trial statistics, their deputies and chief clerks, are eligible to active membership in the association, All ex-commissioners and ex-deputies of such bureaug are also ex- officlo members, entitled to all rights, ex- cept election to office. The cost of member- ship in. the association was fixed at $5 per year foreach state represented, and as |much more as is necessary to meet the | maintenance of the association, within a {maximum limit of $10. The convention which it was proposed to hold at Albany, N. Y., in 1893, was unavoidably postponed. and the present convention is called by the executive committee, urder the instructions | of a conference of chiefs and commissioners jheld in Chicago in September, 1893. It is expected that there will be a full attend- ance at Washington of all who are eligible to membership, in order that the sesslons of the convention may be mutually profitable in extending our acquaintanceship and ben- efiting our work.

After Severe Illness FULL HEALTH AND STRENGTH GIVEN BY HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA, “Gentlemen:—About four years ago I had the measles very severely, Upon coming out I was left im a very bad condition, being very weak. I tried to drive team, but could not do the work. I was next seized with CHRONIC DIARRHOEA 80 severely that I could just get about, but was not able to do anything. This complaint followed me until I thought I must give up my pluce and I was Nery much iiscouraged. I saw an advertise- ment of Hood's Sarsaparilla and thought I would Hood’s Sarsaparilla Cures try it. The first bottle helped me a good deal, and I was so much better that I stopped taking it for a while. My trouble came on again and I took another bottle, which cured me entirely,”” JAMES F.
