Bimetallic League Adjourns. The convention of the Pan-American Bimetallic League adjourned yesterday afternoon after a two days’ session. The Principal business of the day was the con- sideration and adoption of a series of reso- lutions criticising the financial policy of the | government, as it is at present worked, and Suggesting another which would, in the minds of the handful of delegates, quickly save the nation from rocks of financial ruin. After Col. Fisk had outlined a plan | of his for the construction of a transconti- mental railroad. paying for it by the issuing of greenbacks, the convention was ad. n- ed sine die. ne —_.—___.

The Delegates Leave for the Epworth Convention—Other Matters of Rock Creek. terest Beyon Ata meeting of the ministers of the Meth- odist Protestant churches of the District of Columbia, heid this week, Rev. Walter R. Graham, pastor of the Congress Street Church, urged the importance of organizing a church extension society for the District, and suggested that a mass meeting of the membership be held and addresses made by ministers and laymen, setting forth the na- ture of the work and the need of such an organization. The pastors decided to hold such a mass meeting early in June, and it is expected that the president of the con- ference will be present and deliver an ad- dress and encourage the enterprise. A Brotherhood Service. Unusual interest will attach to the serv- ice for men, held under the auspices of St. John’s Chapter, Brotherhood of St. An- drew, at Sc. John’s Church Sunday evening, from the fact that the Order of American Mechanics of Georgetown has been invited, and also as it is the last of the services this season. It is expected that many of those who from time to time have enjoyed them will be present. Rev. Mr. Wroth, rector of the Church of the Messiah, Balti- more, who is to deliver the address, is a fine speaker, to men particularly. The brotherhood has resolved, in view of the great success of the services and of the many expressions of interest in them, that they shall be continued next season, begin- ning the last Sunday in October. A Sunday School Cantata. “The Jolly Picnic Party,” a cantata, pos- sessing considerable merit as an enter- tainment, was presented last night at Mt. Zion Church under the auspices of the Sunday school. The parts were all well taken. Those who assumed characters were Miss Daisy Jackson, Miss Fennie Berry, Miss Ethel Parrott, Miss Lena Day, Miss Maggie Washington, Miss Victoria Harriss, Miss Ella Thompson, Miss Mary Bowles, Miss Elia Smith, Miss Nellie Herbert, Mr. Loraine Fisher, Mr. Julius Carroll, Master Verdt Fisher, Master Leon Wheeler, Master Herbert Thompson, Master Howard Tur- ner and Misses Grace Harris,Emma Reeder, Rachael Cole, Rebecca Williams and Clodia Butler. The cantata was presented under the superintendence of Rev. M. Carroll and Mr. H. N. wiles, and the leadership of Mr. J. T. Beason. Its repetition at an early day is being arranged for. To the Epworth Convention. The Dumbarton Chapter of the Epworth League will be represented by Mr. Robert E. Layton and Mrs. 8. S. Culberton (the latter a proxy for Delegate-elect Wm. James), as delegates to the third annual corvention, to be held at Pittsburg, Pa., frcra May 24 to May 27. They and the Washington delegates met the special train | of the Baltimore delegations this morning at 8:10, leaving for Pittsburg over the Bal- timore and Ohio road. The delegates will number in all over a hundred. Notes of Interest. Rey. Henry Carroll and Mr. J. Townsend Beason left this morning for Pittsburg, where they will represent in the Epworth convention the Mt. Zion branch of the Epworth League. A three-nights strawberry festival opened last night at the Congress Street M. P. Church. The attendance was large. The proceeds will be turned into the church treasury. While painting the front of C. W. Corn- Weil's store, on 32d street, yesterday, near N, Mr. Charles Offutt fell a distance of nearly fifteen feet and fractured several ribs. He was removed to his home, on P street near 35th. George U. Morris, G. A. R., of George- town paid a fraternal visit to Kit Carson Post at Grand Army Hall. The feature of the evening was an address by Mr. Chas. F. Benjamin cf Lafayette Post, No. 20. On its conclusion refreshments were served and enjoyed. The shipments from the mines of Cum- berland over the Chesapeake and Ohio canal for the week ending Saturday last amounted to but 1,256 tons and for the year 37,868 tons, a decrease of 8,724 tons as com- pared with last year. Contractor Hamedy expects to complete the extension of Prospect avenue by the end of the week. —————— Comedies and Dramas. On next Monday evening, at the Acad- emy of Music, the “Entertainers” of Mar- tyn College will present their annual com- mencement program, under auspices the most favorable in the history of the col- lege. It is the first class to graduate from the new atheneum building, and the su- perior advantages of training upon a com- pletely equipped stage are noticeable in the | progress of the present graduating class. } The playing, reciting and general appear- ance of the graduates give them the rank of professionals. They have the advantage of rerdering pieces that are entirely new. The Greek Piay, Modern Society Drama, Old Fashioned Debate and the satire, “Tri- umphs of Theosophy,” are specially strong. The comedies, “Sam Slack” and “Country Cousins,” are very laughable. Among the beautiful pieces are “Gladys and the Echo,” “A Musical Forest “Which Girl is Best?" “Seven Gardens of Statuary,” ete. Tickets are going very fast at Metzerott’s. ——_— War Department Redaction: To the Editor of The Evening Star: It is with high appreciation, doubtless shared by every clerk in the War Depart- ment over whom hangs the uncertain des- tiny of dismissal or retention during the approaching changes, that we note the Secretary of War has announced his in- tention of retaining until June 30 as many as possible of those clerks who may be among the unfortunates, so as to alleviate the hardship at least to that extent. The statement, however, as published in The Star of the 22d instant, is somewhat ambiguous as to whether or not it is in- tended to keep such clerks employed at their desks until June 30, and hence In total ignorance of their discharge until that date. It is heved that such is not the correct interpretation of the report as to the Secretary's intention. And, in the event that it is, he is most respectfully and earnestly petitioned to grant a reconside-a- tion of the matter, and entertain the sug- gesion that the dismissals may be made on June 15, allowing the fifteen days’ leave that is due, in order that they may have the benefit of that time in which to look for other employment. A NUMBER OF CLERKS. — The Concert by the Plymouth Con- gregational Choir. Despite the threatening weather of yes- terday evening, there was a fair-sized and brilliant audience in attendance at the concert given by the Plymouth choir, as- sisted by the Amphion Glee Club, Mr. J. Henry Lewis, director; the President's Glee Club of Howard University, and the Joice Mandolin Club. Miss Chanie Patterson and Mrs. Irene Jones and Maria Ricks of the Metropolitan choir sang with the choir of the Plymouth Church. As there were many more tickets sold than were pre sented, it is hoped that a handsome amount will be realized. Twelve numbers were given by the company, and it can be truly said that a more successful concert, from al standpoint, has never been given in that church. — Two Accidents. Willie Grupe, a seventeen-year-old boy, was knocked down by a carriage driven by Ohio depot yesterday. His head was badly cut. Sergt. Falvey had the injured boy sent to the Emergency Hospital for treat- ment. Clarence Burroughs of No. 906 South Car- | plina avenue fell and cut his head while at- | tempting to get off a cable car on B street | southeast yesterday afternoon.

In the report of the proceedings of the executive committee it was stated that efforts would | be made to secure the co-operation of Chris- tian Endeavor, Epworth League and other societies, as well as organizations of Amer- ican women, with a view of furthering the objects of the institute. An address was delivered by Mr. Henry Fitch Blount, suggesting that steps be taken to secure the co-operation of the Federation | of Women's Clubs.

Slater secretary of the department of popular work. ‘A resolution was adopted authorizing the executive committee, in co-operation with the Washington members of the board, to make arrangements for a general meeting of the members and friends of the institute in this city in May, 1895. —_ WAYLAND SEMINARY. Interesting Commencement Exercises and Certificates to the Graduate: An evening of unusual interest was spert by a large audience at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church last night, the occasion be- ing the commencement exercises of the class of 1894 of Wayland Seminary. It was also the twenty-eighth anniversary of that institution. Music, essays and an ad- dress made up the program, Dr. G. M. P. King, the head of the seminary, presiding.

A Lull in the Progress of Cutting Down the Printing Office Force. There have been no further additions to the list of 700 employes of the government printing office who received notice cf their dismissal last Saturday. It is now thought likely that there will be no further slaugh- ter before the last of the week. Those who have already gone were made happy yes- terday when they learned that the neces- sary funds had been procured trom the Treasury Department, and that they were to be paid in full, and also for any leave that might be due them for the lust fiscal year. The news quickly spread, und the cashier's office was besieged until late in the afternoon, with the result that nearly all the late employes received their money before the office closed. THE HIGH SCHOUL CADETS. Their Annual Competitive Drill Com- menced This Afternoon. Rain could not dampen the enthusiasm of the High School Cadeis last evening, for vntil nearly miijnight five companies were working with might and main in prepara- tion for the annual competitive drill that began this afternoon. At 3 o'clock, when the drill began, one of the largest and fair- est crowds that ever filled the grand stand end bleachers of the National Base Ball Park had assembled to cheer the respective companies on to victory. _ > A NEW PASTOR. A Successor to Rev. Dr. Chester Fi- mally Selected. At a meeting of the congregation of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church held last evening Rev. George M. Luccock of Bloom- ington, Ind., was selected pastor to fill the vacancy caused by the recent resignation of Rev. Dr. Chester. The pastor-elect is a fine pulpit orator, thirty-seven years of age. He graduated from Wooster Uni- versity, Ohio, and from the Allegheny The- ological Seminary and has been thirteen years in the ministry. —_ An Enjoyable Evening. Walter R. Jefferson, the Philadelphia elecutionist, entertained an appreciative au- dience at the Western Presbyterian Church last evening. His numerous presentations, each of which won commendation, were in- terspersed with music, rendered by Rev, Howard Wilbur Ennis and Misses Harkness and Webster. —~—._—_. Marriage Licenses. The clerk of the court has issued marriage licenses to the following: Henson Simms | and Caroline Fisher; Noble Moore of this city and Josephine C.

Academy of Music.—The Hinrichs Opera Company once more afforded entertain- ment of the most delightful and satisfac- tory character at the Academy of Music last night. The opera was the ambitious and thoroughly excellent “Aida,” whose in- tense dramatic qualities brought out the fullest resources of the able cast selected for the production. A new singer was in- troduced in the title role—Madame Chalia. Her performance was such as to give her almost immediately a rank with the com- petent people who have so completely estab- ished themselves as favorites. The success her appearance amounted to a positive triumph. The other performers sustained the reputations which they have so thor- oughly won during this remarkable engage- ment. Miss Katherine Fleming made an excellent Amneris, and Guille, Del Puente, Viviani and Karl contributed to make the rformance one long to be remembered. Carmen” will be given tonight. New National Theater.—Miss Julia Mar- lowe presented ‘The Love Chase” at the New National Theater last night, and de- lighted a good audience by her impersona- tion of the character of Constance. Her support was competent, and the work of H. A. Weaver, sr., and Rose Eytinge was par- ticularly noticeable. Tonight Miss Marlowe will appear in “Romeo and Jultet.” The Juvenile Pirates.—On Saturday after- noon the juvenile “Pirates” will again ap- pear in connection with the Strakosch com- pany at Albaugh's, and then the grown people will sing the first act and the little ones the second act of Gilbert and Sulli- van's “Pirates of Penzance.” The result of this combination on Tuesday evening was highly satisfactory, the large audience tes- tifying by its frequent applause to the pleasure that the work of the children af- forded. The fact that the Homeopathic Hospital is benefited by these performances in which the children take part should re- sult in a crowded house at the Saturday matinee. It has been suggested that a similar arrangement might profitably be made for a couple of performances of “Pin- afore’ next week, for the ladies of the hos- pital have a “Pinafore” company of young- sters that is in every way the equal of those who appear in the ‘“‘Pirates.”” Marteau’s Farewell.—Monday _ evening, May 28, at Metzerott Music Hall, will be | the last appearance of Henri Marteau, the great French violinist, until 1896. He’ will have the support of Sig. Guiseppe Campa- nari, baritone, who is said to be the best baritone on the lyric stage, and Amie Iachaume, pianist. No violinist in years has created the enthusiasm and favorable comment that Marteau has. He came to this country unknown, but his hearers soon saw the artist that was before them and lavished their praises. The coming concert | in Washington and one other iinishes his tour of this country, and he will then sail for France to serve his country as any loyal son, in the army. Seats now on sale at Metzerott’s, ——<——— For the Deaconess Home. A May festival for the benefit of the Deaconess Home was given at that in- stitution, 1140 North Capitol street, under the auspices of the finance committee yes- | terday and last evening. The object was | two fold, to raise funds for the institu- | tion and to signalize the close of the regu- lar school year. It had been arranged to hold a lawn party, but because of the in- | clement weather the scene of action was | transferred to the parlors and veranda. | The bazaar was interestingly gay, and | charity prices ruled. ‘The bazaar was made | up of articles contributed of the various Methodist churches of the city | friends of the worthy cause. The receipts | were gratifying to the promoters of the | festival. —.— Hope and Help Mission The board of managers cf the ope and Help Mission,” 622 H street northwest, will be at the home on next Monday after. noon and evening to receive donations of clothing, groceries, money, &c., in aid of | this charity for poor women and giris. | Many children have also been cared fo by the managers during the past winter, and the tax has been heavy, but the kind hearted people of Washington have been so | generous that no debt remains at this sea- | j sen, but help is needed for the summer. An instrument—piano or organ—is also | needed for the prayer services which are held twice a week at the home. a Concert at the Barracks, The first concert of the season by the band of the United States marine corps, Prof. Fanciulli, conductor, will be given at the marine barracks this afternoon, be- ginning at 5 o'clock.
