After a Pilgrimage to Pittsburg They Are Taken to Mt. Vernon by Columbia Commandery. Washington has been invaded by a noble band of warriors. They come not on a mis- sion of war, however, but merely comprise ‘he plumed knights and their ladies of Mary Commandery, St. John’s Commandery and Kadosh Commandery, Knights Templar, whose home is Philadelphia and who are in the capital city on a sight-seeing tour. When the Quaker city knights arrived last evening they were surrounded upon alight- ing from tke train, and a moment later learned that the local commanderies—Co- lumbia, Washington, De Molay and Poto- mac—had secured them as prisoners. Re- sistance was useless. The visitors are on their way home from @ meeting of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Pennsylvania, held re- cently in Pittsburg. A stop was made at Luray, and then the party proceeded to this city and took up headquarters at the Ebbitt House. A reputation in years past has been established by the Washington knights for hospitality, and the four local commanderies have combined to make the stay of their Philadelphia brethren a pleas- ant one. This morning the visitors, escort- ed by a party of one hundred Washington knights and their ladies. steamed down the Potomac to Mount Vernon, and later were transported across to Marshall Hall for a planked shad dinner. While the male ele- ment is being entertained at Masonic Tem- ple this evening, Sir Knight E. B. Hay will conduct the ladies to Albaugh’s to witness “The Pirates of Penzance” by the Stra- | Kosch Opera Company. Later, husbands and wives meet at Fussell’s for a straw- berry feast. Members of the Party. A surrepder of prisoners is announced to take place tomorrow morning, when the | Philadelphians will be allowed to depart for home. The officers of Mary Commandery are Frederick Munch, eminent commander; William J.

What promises to be a most delightful entertainment will be given tomorrow after- noon at the Home for Incurables, and if the weather is anything like what it ought to be, there will undoubtedly be a large gather- ing of the friends of this most deserving institution. The entertainment fs in charge | of a number of well-known society ladies, who are doing all in their power to make it a success. The object is to raise sufficient funds to carry the home through the sum- mer months. The home, receiving no ap- propriation from Congress and having no | endowment, is dependent for its support en- tirely on the charity of the public. Tomor- row afternoon dinner will be served at the | home, and it is hoped that many will find | it convenient and pleasant to go out there | for their evening meal. In addition to this light refreshments and other articles will be on sale. The home is on Linthicum road between S3lst and 32d streets, and can be | reached either by the F street cars, leaving them at 3ist street, or by the Tenleytown line, leaving it at the reservoir. ——. Furnished Only Two Dollars. | James Allen, a young negro wearing good | clothes, appeared in Judge Miller's court this morning as a witness. He was married | five years ago, and his wife has three chil- | dren to support. Jim left her and went to| live with a girl who supported him during | the winter months. All this he told Judge Miller when his wife had two of the chil- dren in court to be turned over to the board of children’s guardians. The wife said that | her husband actually gave her $2 about ten months ago. She is now unable to care for | the three children, although she will make an effort to suport the oldest of them. Judge Miller said it was a pity that there was not a law that would handie the father | | of the children. So far as he was concern- ed, the judge said he would like to send him where he would have to work: for a long | time Instead of having some colored Biri support Mim. The children were turned over to the agent of the board. —_— Death of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Browne Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Browne died Tues- day, in Baltimore, Md., aged eighty-one years.

Senator Chandler Congratulates the Colored People on the Victory. A large number of the friends of Mr. Charles H. J. Taylor, the new recorder of deeds, paid him th: compliment of a sere- nade last night at his residence, on 10th street. The Negro National Democratic League and the Negro Congressional Club were at the head of the movement, and just after darkness fell a procession was formed at 14th and P streets northwest, with the Capitol Brass Band in the lead, and proceeded to Senator Chandler’s house. ‘The lively music inspired Mr. Chandler to make a short speech, in which he congratu- lated the colored people on Mr. ‘Taylor’s victory, and assured them that “the re- publican party in giving franchise to their race had conferred upon them the inalien- able right to vote for whom they pleased, although he did not express any great ad- miration for those who cast democratic ballots. The march was then resumed, and the residences of Senator Martin and ex-Sen- ator Perkins reached, but neither of these gentlemen were at home, whereupon Mr. Taylor's house, at 1642 10th street, was visited, and the real jollification of the occasion enjoyed to the utmost. The re- elpient of the ae, made a stirring speech, and congratulatory remari re also made by L. W. Pultes, Dr. G. W. Bryant and Prof. Jesse Lawson, the crowd finally dispersing with great cheering. pe Re aS A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT, of the Brookland School Pre- sent an Attractive Progra: The pupils of the Brookland public school gave an entertainment at the town hall last evening for the benefit of the Teachers’ Aid Association and annuity fund. The hall was filled, and the large audience manifest- ed their appreciation of the excellent pro- gram by the most liberal applause. All the numbers were well performed, the children showing ability and reflecting credit upon their teachers. Dr. Frank T. Howe made the announcements, and, in a few brief introductory remarks, explained the object of the entertainment, and paid a high tribute to the intelligence, ability and fidel- ity’of the teachers of the Brookland school. The program was as follows: Instrumental trio, Misses Webel, Bailey and Dulin; cho- rus, “The Milking Maid,” by the schoo! recitation, “The Mustard Plaster,” Mi Mary Dowling; “The Little Waiting Girls,’ by the first grade: recitation, “The Faithful Lovers,” Miss Birdie Cook; solo, Birdie, Come,” Miss Mamie Warmkpasel dance, “The Highland Fling,’ Miss,Agn Saffell; a pantomime, “Gossip,” by, tw Uttle girls; cornet solo, “The Palms,” Mr. Costello; recitation, “Patchwork,” Miss Dora Dreyer; solo, “Creole Love Song, rie Jullien; duet, “Moonlight and Starlight, Misses Annie Hollidge and Bertha Kna Delsarte drill, by sixteen little girls; trio, “Come Where the Wild Flowers Bloom,” Misses Maggie Larner, Adelaide Gleason and Dora Dreyer; recitation, “June” (James Whitcomb Riley), by Miss Marie Howe, who also gave es an encore, “Jack and 1;" solo, “The Flower Girl,” Miss Annie Hollidge; recitation, “The Little School Ma'am,” Miss Violet Horner; gypsy solo and chorus, Miss Adelaide Gleason and chorus; duet and chorus, Masters Edmund Wolfe and Arthur Houghton and chorus of boys; chorus, ‘Echo Song,” by the schcol, and recitation, “Goodnight,” by the little ones of the first grade. At the conclusion of the program ice cream and cake were sold, and the mon- | ey derived from this source, added to the amount received from the sale of tickets, must have netted a handsome sum. Miss S. S. Smith, the principal of the school, and her assistants were warmly eongratulated on the success of their efforts and the ex- cellence of the entertainment. Mr. J. L. Sherwood acted doorkeeper and Messrs, Geo, A. and Frank T. Howe, jr., as ushers. —_——_—_ WILL RETURN HOME. The M From Roston Who Cam: Here With a Petition. The Boston aggregation of socialists un- der the leadership of Michael D. Fitzgerald, who came here two or three days ago for the purpose of impressing upon Congress the advisability of the government owner- ship of railroads, telegraph companies and mines and the necessity of providing work for the unemployed, {s still occupying Mt. Pisgah Chapel, on R street, but will prob- ably return north within a few hours. Fitz- gerald wanted to present his petition on the floor of the House of Representatives in person, but when assured of the imposst- bility of this determined to have the paper handed In, like every other petition, by a member of Congress. The usual meeting was held last night, at which a few col- ored residents of the vicinity were regaled with the stereotyped speech of Mr. Thomas the socialistic utterances of “General” Fitzgerald. Out at the camp of the Commonweal of Christ, near Highlands, everything remains as monotonously dull as usual. There were some additions to the commissary yester- day, which served to allay the growing dis- content of the men, and their spokesmen reiterate the intention of the army to hold together until Coxey and his marshals are released from jail and renew the vigorous } agitation of the movement in favor of non- interest-bearing bonds and good roads, Old Veterans’ Soctal. The commander of the Department of the Potomac has ordered an interchange of visits with the various posts in the de- partment. Wednesday night Lafayette Post was the guest of Charles P. Stone Post, and a good time was enjoyed. After the post opened the visitors were admitted with due G. A. R. honors, and appropriate remarks were made by the commanders. A muster in of two comrades followed, after which the evening was spent in social speeches full of patriotism and remints- cences, interspersed with music and sing- ing. Coffee, sandwiches and cigars were served. Comrades Chambers, Stratton, Watson and Fish vied with each other in patriotic utterancés on the part of the visitors, which were responded to in turn by the commander, Mr. John H. Thulett, Comrades Wm. H. Hoover, R, J. Beall and Clinton Vermillion. What a Tenant Says. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In reply to the communications of Land- lord Nos. 1 and 2 in regard to rents in this city, when they assert that they receive 4 and 6 per cent, respectively, on their in- vestment, are they not receiving a larger percentage than is received upon invest- ments of a different nature in these times of general depression? Stocks. of every kind have greatly depreciated. The farmer and manufacturer have been compelled to market their products in a very much de- preciated market, depreciated in. some in- stances near 50 per cent. Is there any rea- son why property in this city should rot be affected by the general depreciation of val- ues? In my opinion, unless thfs fact 1s rec- ognized by landlords, the twenty-four hun- dred vacant houses will be greatly increased in number by September 1. TENANT. —$—_—_ Lectures of a Theosophist. Mr. Claude F. Wright of New York, for- merly the private secretary to Madam H. P. Blavatsky, the founder of the Theo- sophical Society, will address a series of meetings, free to the public, at 919 F street northwest, beginning this evening. Mr. Wright has been lecturing for two years in the principal cities of the country, but this is his first appearance here. He comes well recommended as a young man of pleasing address and great attainment in science and metaphysics. > Visitors to Europe. Washington will be well represented on the continent this summer, as many of its well-known residents contemplate spend- ing the heated term abroad. Several genial parties have been made up here to do Eu- rope, but none, probably, will enjoy the jaunt more thoroughly than a coterie which will sail from New York on the Kaiser Wilhelm tomorrow morning. It is a stag party, and consists of Wm. D. Rudy, Ralph Galt, LeRoy Taylor, Jules Demonet and Harry Moses. They will extend their travels to Egypt and the Holy Land and will be gone four or five months. ge Cheap Goods Are Expensive Luxuries. Remember, we don’t quote cheap goods.

National Theater.—Miss Julia Marlowe pleased her admirers last night at the New National Theater by her performance of | Juliet. The character is one which demands both delicacy and force. It is girlishness idealized, and yet it is tragedy of the most intense sort. Miss Marlowe's presentation of the part is one that reflects great credit upon her own intelligence, and remotely, but none the less certainly, upon those who had her earlier dramatic education in hand. Good actresses are not numerous in this Generation, and Miss Marlowe is unques- tionably one cf them. The supporting com- pany merited approval. Tonight, Twelfth Night. Academy of Music.—‘Carmen” was re- Peated at the Academy of Music last night, and it was in every way as enjoyable as the previous performances of this opera. Mme. Koert-Kronold was remarkably effective in the little role, and Michelena and DelPuente Were all that could be desired. Tonight Halevy’s opera, “The Jewess,” will be pre- sented, with Mme. Koert-Kronold, Mme. Van Cauteren, Guille, Michelena, Viviani and Karl in the cast. The Homeopathic Hospital.—It should not be forgotten that the Homeopathic Hospital will be benefited by the performance at the matinee at Albaugh’ tomorrow of the “Pirates of Penzance.” ‘The regular com- pany will sing the first act, and the juve- niles the second. This is reversing the order of Tuesday night last. Prof. Harry Whea- ton Howard leads the orchestra for the children; Mr. 5. H. Hoover is the pianist and Mr. Davis is the stage manager.
