THE BOARD OF TRADE Business Transactea by the Directors at Their Meeting Yesterday. New Members Elected—The Sewerage Bill Dincussed—Report of the Com- mittee on Streets and Avenues. There was a brief meeting of the board of directors of the Washington board of trade at the Glover building yesterday afternoon. Those present were: Prsident B. H. Warner, Secretary Wight, Treasurer O. G. Staples, and Messrs. Thomas Somer- ville, John Joy Edson, F. L. Moore, C. C. Glover, T. W. Noyes, 8S. W. Woodward, Charles B. Church and Thomas W. Smith. After the minutes of the previous meet- ing had been read and approved, the fol- lowing were elected members of the board of trade, upon the report of the committee on membership: William Henry Walker, Josiah Millard, W. Mosby Williams, J. H. Ralston, Charles A. McKevitte, John C. Parker, Dr. Samuel 8. Bond, Leroy M. Taylor, jr., Samuel Maddox, Weston Flint, Henry Kraak, H. L. Rust, Frank H. Thomas, S. H. Merrill, Richard A. Johnson, Charles H. Alexander, William J. Stephen- son, Rufus H. Thayer, A. Gude & Co., and Charles W. Handy. Applications for membership were re- celved from the following, and referred to the committee on membership: Seaton Perry, Andrew Archez, E. J. Burt, Frank T. Johnson, Andrew A. Lipscomb, Fuller & Fuller, Charles T. Wood, G. De Witt, O. T. Thompson, W. H. Butler, Wm. H. Manogue, J. Holdsworth Gordon and 8B. T. Welch. Mr. Somerville, from the committee on buildings, reported that the rooms for the board were being prepared in the Ames building, on G between With ‘and 15th streets, and the committee was given au- thority to make all the necessary r The Sewerage Discussed. Upon the suggestion of Secretary Wight, he was authorized to prepare suitable cards of invitation for members of Congress and strangers visiting the city to visit the rooms of the board. President Warner laid before the board the bill, which had been prepared by the District Commissioners as a sub- stitute for the one introduced by Senator Peffer, the title of the Commissioners’ bill being, “A bill to provide for continuing the system of trunk sewers in the District of Columbia, to provide for sewage disposal, to lay out highways and for other pur- ses.” The bill was informally discussed, but no final action was taken upon it, it being laid over until the next meeting of the board, Tuesday afternoon next. The following report by the committee on streets and avenues was read: The question of the proper extension cf the streets and avenues of this city has been pressed without ceas.rng and without success upon Congress from April, 1886, to March, 1893, when the preparatory legis- lation was enacted, March 2, 1883. The first bill for this purpose was introduced in the Senate April 20, 1886, by Senate bill 2201, proposing an issue of two and a half mil- lion of three per cent bonds to extend the streets and avenues and to buy the land for Rock Creek Park from P street bridge to the District line. Had that bill passed the work would have not cost over one- quarter the amount that will be required at the present time. Congress did not heed the wants of the city at that time, and the reward of this negligence will be the greatly increased cost of the work, one-half of which is to be assessed upon the property. The city on the north from Rock creek to Le Droit Park is strangled with a belt of subdivisions of land laid out between 1886 and 1888, which have choked the city’s growth and retarded the march of improve- ments. The District Commissioners have for a year been engaged in preparing plans for the correction of these inharmonious sub- divisions, which are now on the eve of completion. The great avenues they propose to extend, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hi shire, Vermont, New Jersey, Rhode Island and 16th street on the north and west, while on the east will be New York, Delaware, Maryland, and southeast Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, will be opened. New north and south streets will be laid out, and old ones widened. The east and west streets will be mostly taken care of by widening. The main object of the issue of bonds is to condemn and pay for the land, through old subdivisions already laid out, necessary for the proper extension of the above named avenues and streets, and is not intended for opening through acre lands. Under the law of 1888 no acre property can be sub- divided without donating all proper streets and avenues as required by the Commis- | sioners; therefore, the entire area of the District of Columbia now in acreage will be furnished with highways in the future, practically free of cost. The cost of land in the District is increas- ing year by year, and what was imperative in 1886 is more imperative in 18M. There- fore, your committee do most earnestly ap- prove and urge ‘the immediate passage of the bill for the issue of bonds for the ex- tension of the streets and avenues of Wash- ington city; and further, that the expendi- ture should not be limited to $1,150,000, but sufficient to complete the work at once, as this, we believe, to be true economy. J. HARRISON JOHNSON, Acting Chairman. W. S. THOMPSON, JOSEPH PAUL. Financial Condition Good. Treasurer Staples, in submitting a brief statement of the amcunts received and ex- pended by him, stated that there was the sum of $1,564.97 on hand, and Secretary Wight explained that his receipts would in- crease that amount by $1,410. The secretary was authorized to employ J. L. Smith as a collector, and upon the secretary’s recommendation, the ‘salary of Assistant Secretary Gurley’ was substanti- ally increased. The board then adjourned to meet next Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr. Henry Kaiser, tor the past fifty-one years a well-known and most highly re- spected citizen of this city, dled yesterday mcrning, after a lingering, but painless, ill- ness of several months. Mr. Kaiser was bern in Allmuthshausen, Hesse (now Nas- sau), Germany, August 5, 1820, and came to this country when but eighteen years of age. He spent several years in Philadel- phia, end settled in Washington in 1843, He carried on the furniture manufacturing business for many years, in what was | krown as “Apollo Hall,” on D street near 13th street, and which was destroyed by fire. He had not been engaged in any busi- ness for some years. He was an early member of the Masons and Odd Fellows, joining the former in 1849, and the latter in October, 1847. He was one of the “forty- niners,” and one of the original subscribers to The Evening Star, continuing as such to the date of his death. He leaves a widow, the daughter of the late Henry | Seifert, three sons, Julius assistant | ergineer, U. S. N. (retired); Edward T. and Rebert H., and one daughter, Mrs. Cor- nelius Eckhardt. The celebration of his “golden wedding” would have taken place next Octcber, and he had from time to time expressed a de- sire to live until that time. The funeral services will take place to- morrow afternoon from his late residence, No. 507 M street northwest, at 3 o'clock. Rev. W. H. Gotwald, pastor of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, this city, and Rev. Geo. Bringhurst of the -Episcopal Church, Ger- mantown, Pa., will officiate. The inter- ment, which ts to be private, will be at Rock Creek cemetery. —_——-—_. The Wimodaughsis Excursion. Although defeated in debate by the Young Men’s Christian Association on Saturday, the Wimodaughsis appeared as energetic as Macalester and the possessions of Col. Mc- Kibben and Capt. Blake at Marshall Hall without bloodshed or resistance of any kind, The organization of enterprising women gathered its hundreds of friends on the | decks and in the saloon of the steamer. and sailed down the high and muddy Potomac for a moonlight excursion.

Albaugh’s.—That whimsical crew, “The Pirates of Penzance,” indulged in merry choruses, in spiriting song and the odd quibbles in which W. S. Gilbert so much delights to the eminent satisfaction of a good house at Albaugh’s last night. The opera was sung In an exceptionally effi- cient manner. It is one of the old operas. But {t is one of those exceptional works in lighter composition which do not pall on famillar acquaintanze. The more the pub- lic sees of it the more charming some of the melodies become. George Broderick, as the Pirate King, was amusing and vocally excellent. The part of Mabel was sung by Miss Laura Millard in a most graceful’ man- ner, both as to the music and the action. Charles Bigelow, as Maj. Gen. Stanley, gave an exhibition of quiet comedy which was as enjoyable as at.ything that he has done on broader lines. Maurice Hageman was the portly policeman, and showed marked ability as a character impersonator. Little Mamie Gilroy did not appear, owing to illness, and the part which she was to have filled was taken in a very competent manner by Miss Belle Travers. As a whole, the performance was a smooth one, the best endeavors of efficient scenic artists, costumers, stage management, musical di- rection and individual performance by the company combining to give an adequate presentation of one of the prettiest operas in the whole field of effervescent composi- tion. Tonight the juvenile opera company which has impressed itself so favorably on the community will sing the first act of the opera, the Strakosch company finishing the performance. The occasion will be cer- tainly unique and no doubt doubly enjoy- able. National.—Miss Julia Marlowe began her week's engagement last night at the Na- tional in a double bill, “The Belle’s Strat- “Chatterton,” two plays ad- mirably presenting the dramatic diversity of this young woman, yet not having the best effect on the audience, because the gloomy play came last and sent the people home in sadness instead of smiles. Why the order was not reversed does not ap- pear. “The Belle’s Stratagem" must be a good play, because it has been before the public 114 years, and it still interests and amuses, and with Miss Marlowe os titia it surely has a representation not less forcl- ble and artistic than any preceding this. Miss Marlowe, while not the {deal actress, is idealistic, and her charm les in the do- ing as in the suggestion. Possibly her work is not better described than the poet, Richard Realf, described it long before she was born: “Back of the canvas that throbs the paint- er is hinted and hidden; Into the statue that breathes the soul of the sculptor is bidden; Under the joy that is felt Me the infinite issues of feeling; Crowning the glory, revealed is the glory that crowns the revealing; Sweet the exultance of song, but the strain that precedes it is sweeter, And never was poem yet writ but the meaning outmastered the meter.” In “Chatterton,” contrasting so strongly with the boisterous yet delicate comedy of Letitia, Miss Marlowe as “the marvelous boy” presents a strong piece of work. At the close of the first act of “The Belle’s Stratagem” she was called before the cur- tain three times. Pleasantly reminiscent and charmingly artistic was Miss Rose Eytinge in both plays, and a bright bit of sunshine was Miss Kitty Wilson. The men in the cast were Mr. Henry Jewett, Mr. H. A. Weaver, sr. Mr. Amory, Mr. Cole- man and Mr. Francoeser. Mr. Jewett's Dortcount was well well done, but Mr. Jewett’s fine teeth scarcely warrant his continuous smile. Academy of Music.—The last week of the Hinrichs Opera Company's engagement commenced most auspicionsly at the Acad- emy of Music last night, for every seat was filled, and there were many who stood during the entire performance. The opera was ‘“ in which Mme. Koert- Kronold, in the title role, gave one of the most satisfactory impersonations of that character, both as to singing and acting, that has ever been presented in this city. Her excellent voice and artistic method ure fully competent to cope with all the difMl- culties of the musical score, while in her action she is the tantalizing and even vi- clous coquette tc perfection. Sig. Michel- ena made an excellent Don Jose, his clear virile tenor being heard to good ad tage, while he acted with spirit and effect. Dei Puente’s Escamijlo was done as he only can do it, and on these three rested the burden of the opera. All the others in the cast, however, were satisfactory, and a nm member of the company, Mr. Richard Carl, made his first appearance here, sing- ing the part of Zuniga, captain of the guards, in an agreeable manner. The or- chestra, under the efficient direction of Mr. Hinrichs, deserves the warmest praise for its work, which in “Carmen” contributes so largely to a perfect representation 6f the opera. Tonight “La Traviata” will be given. ¢ Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—A company with a big title, but also with a big show, appeared last night at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater. Albini's London Empire Enter- tainers was the attraction, and the audi- ence present was as large as the name. The attraction is a straight variety one.and of more than ordinary merit. Miss Nellie Maguire proved to be a character actress of high merit, and was received with great approval. Albini mystified all with his cleverness with the cards. Miss Mona Wyrn carried all before her with her sweet singing and clever dancing, as did also Rentz and Rowe. The feature of the evening was the exhibition of strength given by Mme. Yucca, which comes under the head of marvelous. It would be a hard problem to draw the line between Sandow and Mme. Yucca, as to the clever feats performed, and in actual strength honors appear to be equally divided. Friends of Manager Kernan are working like beavers to make his benefit, which comes off next Monday night, a great suc- cess. A strong array of talent in an a‘ tractive program is promised, and an au- dience limited only by the dimensions of the house, will we Awarded. On the 13th of June, 1892, a little four- year-old son of Police Sergt. Wm. F. F vey fell or was thrown from a car of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company near 3d street and Indiana avenue. The little fellow’s left leg was so badly crushed by a wheel of the car that it became neces- sary to amputate the limb above the knee. Later, Sergt. Falvey instituted a suit against the road, claiming $30,000 daim- ages. The case has been on trial before Judge Cole and a jury since Friday last. This morning the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $3,750. The child, accompanied by its mother and sister, was riding in one of the open sum- mer cars of the road, and was seated on the inner side of the car. In getting down from his seat it appeared that the little fellow fell between the rail attached to the seats to the track below, and a wheel pass- ed over his leg. It was contended by the plaintiff that the car was really a danger- ous one, in that its seats projected over the body of the car. And hence, that when the child attempted to get down from his seat there was nothing to prevent him from plenging through to the ground below. In its defense the road contended that there was no negligence or carelessness on its part, and that the accident resulted, first, because the child’s mother failed to take a box car, and secondly, because the mother and sister of the little one did not exercise that care for its safety and pro- tection that was required of them, > Business High School Entertainment, This evening will be one of pleasure for the pupils of the Business High School and their hosts of friends. The enterpris- ing pupils have arranged an entertainment to be held in the hall of the Central High School, and the program includes a selec- tion by the school orchestra; “Mr. a farce In one act, the cast comprising Mr. Willlam Clabaugh, Mr. Edward Muth, Mr. John Collier, Miss Elizabeth Tyler, Miss Maud Hunter, Miss Fannie Andrews and Willie Collier; violin duet, Messrs. Lee Crandall and H. R. Wulkening; recitation, Ernest E. Fishe zither duet, Misses Xander and Yost; selection, boys’ quartet, and a debate by first-year girls on the proposition that the co-education of the sexes is more condacive to the best in- terests of the country than their separate education. The affirmative will be argued by Miss Inez B. Wilkes and Miss Susie I. Thomas, their opponents being Miss Mary E. O'Connor and Miss Marie Dillon, ——_— A Runaway Accident. ‘Robert Fewinstein, a farmer living on the Mariboro’ road about three miles from here, met with a serious accident on H street northeast yesterday. The police report that he was unable to manage his team because of his intoxicated condition. His horses be- came frightened at a railroad train cross- ing H street and ran away. The driver was thrown from the vehicle and the wheels passed over him, breaking one leg and spraining the other. He was sent to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. ——__ Charles Mills of 416 61-2 street was knocked down by a cable car, on 7th street southwest, Jured about the head. last evening and painfully mt THE DEACONESS WORK. President Dalby Delivers His Fare- well at the Commencement Exercises. A distinguished audience of the Metho- dists of the city, representing nearly all the churches, gathered in Metropolitan M. E. Church last evening to be present at the commencement exercises of the Lucy Webb Hayes Bible and Training School. Presid- ing Elder L. B, Wilson, Dr. H. R. Naylor and Rev. Isaac N. Dalby, the president of the school, occupied seats on the platform, which was beautifully decorated with flow- ers and palms. President Dalby, after prayer, delivered an introductory address, which at the same time was a farewell. He ave an Interesting sketch of the organiza- tion of the Deaconess Home and Training School, paying a tribute to Mrs. Lucy Webb | Hayes, the first president of the Woman's Home Missionary Society, whose name the institution bears. Mr. Dalby spoke of the | effort to secure the location of the home in | other cities, but the fina] determination of; the question in favor of Washington, the ; generous donation by Mr. Ephraim Nash of | a house for the home having great weight in bringing about the decision. “We are proud,” said Mr. Dalby, “to fall in line with | the projectors of our great American Uni- | versity, who, with a keen appreciation of | Washington’s incomparable advantages, and | with a long look into the future, will plant | here an institution of learning that will be i of great credit to the national city, to the | Methodist Episcopal Church, and an endur- ing monument to that wise and indefatiga- ble laborer, Bishop John F. Hurst. But may | there not be another university outside {ts walls, having for its object the best equip- | ment of consecrated women for the Mas- / ter's service among the poor and needy; and | while the magniticent project of the Amert- can University may overshadow our less ambitious plans and more modest equip- ment, yet we may push forward side by side in the onmarching army, with Christ as the captain.” During the past three years, Mr. Dalby said, about sixty workers and students have been in the institution, most of whom have gone out to engage in special Christian service. “And now,” said Mr. Dalby, in concluding his remarks, “before closing, I wish to add that for satisfactory reasons, which I will not stop to explain, some weeks ago I forwarded to the general ex- ecutive board of the Woman's Home Mis- sfonary Society my resignation as president of the Bible school and general superin- tendent of deaconess work, to take effect the close of the year, viz, August 31. This has not as yet been accepted, but in all probability this is the last time that I will have the pleasure of officiating in this ca- | pacity. My interest in this work has great- jy increased, and Mrs. Dalby and myself will never regtet having had a part in shuping the work at this central point.” Other Addresses, ‘The deaconess in foreign lands was dis- cussed by Miss Ida Louise Lewis in the first of the graduating essays. Mrs. A. E. Rice then read a paper on “Christian So- ciology,” written by Miss Joella Zollicoffer Montague, the author being prevented from delivering it by reason of illness. This was | followed by an essay on the “Building of, the Ship of Character,” by Mrs. Helen Ida Benson, and next Rev. Dr. Naylor ad- dressed the audience on “Woman—Our Na- tion’s Guardian.” It was a delineation of the ideal female character. In the course of his remarks Dr. Naylor declared that a nation never arose permanently above the character of its women; that women should | be endowed at the beginning with common | sense, and also that the ideal woman should | possess a good heart. President Dalby, in conferring the di- plomas, wished the graduates success in their chosen work. Those received on pro- bation by Presiding Elder Wilson were Mrs. Helen I. Benson, Miss Kirstine M. Peterson, Miss Zollicoffer Montague, Miss Mamie Marrian Olmstead and Miss Eliza- beth Humphrey. The exercises were closed with an in- formal reception to Dr. Naylor, the mem- bers of the faculty and the class by the deaconness board in the Parlors adjoining the church. —— The Late Sumner H. Bodtish. The funeral services over the remains of the late Sumner H. Bodfish were held on Saturday at his late residence, 58 B street northeast. Rey. Dr. Alexander, the pastor of the West Street Presbyterian Church, and Rev. Dr. Greene, the pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, officiated. The former made an address, in which he spoke of the life and character of the deceased in words of genuine appreciation. He also spoke of his career, a sketch of which ap- peared in The Star of Friday. The inter- ment was at Arlington. The following acted as honorary pallbearers on behalf of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, of which the deceased was a member: Capt. Charles W. Whipple, United States army; Capt. Charles Shaler, United States army; Capt. Richard W.Tyler, United States army: Lieut. Robert G. Carter, United States | army; Capt. Howard L. Prince, United | States volunteers; Lieut. J. Curtiss Smithe, United States volunteers. A committee from Burnside Post, Grand Army of the Repub- Me, of which Mr. Bodfish was also a mem- ber, was also in attendance. Tefft Has the Smallpox. Mr. Edward Hayes, who was robbed of several hundred dollars’ worth of diamonds and for which robbery Rollo Tefft was sen- | tenced to the penitentiary, went to the Albany prison last week to see Tefft, hop- ing to get from him some information con- cerning the whereabouts of the missing diamonds. When he reached the prison, however, he was Informed that the prison- er was suffering from a severe attack of smallpox and could not be seen.

Officers for the Ye: Last There was a meeting of the beard of di- rectors of the Choral Society last evening, at which the election of officers for the year 1894-5 took place. Those chosen were as fellows: President, William H. Daniel; vice president, Dr. Frank T. Howe: secre- tary, Norman H. Camp; financial secretary, Miss Amy C. Leavitt; assistant secretary, Miss Lillian A, Norton; treasurer, Statius Meade; librarian, P. C. J. Treanor; musical drector, Prof. Josef Kaspar. These offi- cers, together with the following, constitute the beard of directors that will have charge of the affairs of the society for the coming year: N. B, Fugitt, S. C. Mason, R. G. Sut- tcn, Charles J, James, Mrs. M. L. O’Don- oghue, Mrs. L. Y. Ellis, E. E. Stevens and F. B. Metzerott. The election was har- menious in every respect, and brief re- marks were made by the different officers pledging their efforts to the best interests of the society. President Daniel stated that the experience derived from the man- agement last year would enable the board to much more satisfactorily conduct the affairs in the season to come, and it was believed that at the close of the season oc 1894-5 there would be a_ satisfactory sbewing of results. Prof. Kaspar was warmly congratulated upon his re-election, and at once commenced rehearsal for the pregtam of music to be sung at the excur- sion to Marshall Hall tonight. This excursion will be one of the most plessant of the season, and has a double purpose, that of giving the society and its friends an outing and that of raising funds for payment on the old debt, a legacy from the season of 1892-3. An attractive pro- gram will be reniered at the mansion im- mediately upon arrival, those assisting the scciety being the Plinky-Plunk Quartet, the Favorite Mandolin Club, Messrs. War- ren, Young and Prevest, and Mr. M. F. O'Donoghue, the well-known elocutionist. Prof. Schroeder will preside over the pick- ed orchestra of twelve men at the dancing pavilion. The Macalester will leave her wharf at 6:30 o'clock. —_—__ A Successful Musicale.
