The affection felt for the National Fen- cibles by the citizens of Washington was fully demonstrated last night by the large audience that assembled in the Academy of Music on the occasion of the benefit tendered to that popular organization. The program was en excellent one, and held the attention of the audience: from beginning to the fall of the curtain in “Brown's Baby.” This comedietta, by the way, was really the attraction of the evening, first, because it was written by a Washington newspaper man—Mr. Willard Holcomb—and was given its first representation last night; and second, because {ts principal character was inferpreted by a Washington girl, who has made a decided success in her profes- sional career—Miss Annie Lewis. As Birdie Bright Eyes, Miss Lewis added to her repu- tation by her lvacious acting and her excellent singing of several chy songs, including “The Girls of Today.” She was ably supported by Miss Eleanor Poole, as Minerva Brown, a neglected wife; Hans Roberts, as Talcott Brown, her husband; William A. Conley, as Bridget, a Hjbernian domestic, and William Dougherty,as Man- ager Plank of Plank’s Gaiety Theater. The piece is full of fun, the lines are bright and sometimes witty, and there ts @ good lesson taught in the story. The people were all good, and Mr. Conley made @ decided hit, particularly in his introduced song, “Since Katie Got Struck on the Stage,” which is also Mr. Holcomb’s com- Position. This piece concluded the program, but it commenced with the “Fenc¢ibles’ March, excellently played by the Academy orche: tra, followed by the one-act comedietta, “A Pair of Lunatics,” which gave Mr. Talbatt Pulizzi and Miss Abbie Johnson an opportunity to do some good work. Miss Johnson took the place of Mrs. Hammack, who was suddenly called aWay, and was remarkably effective. Then came the Apollo Quartet, composed of Messrs. W. D. McFarland, Perry D. Turpin, Frank P.Ree- side Bernard A. Ryan, who La- come’s “L’Estudiantina” in such a spirited manner that an encore in response they gave Camp Ground,” Mr. Reeside singing the solo, Their work proved conclusively that there is no better male quartet in Wash- ington. The quarrel scene from “Julius Caesar” was presented by Messrs. Edwin Ferry and David C. Bangs, both gentlemen interpreting their parts In an artistic man- ner. They were assisted by Miss Florence Gray as Lucius, who added to the effect. The Columbian’ Musical Club, Mr. L. A. Callan, director, gave two good selections, the second being in response to an encore. Mr. Herndon Morsell sang Danza’s “Ster of My Heart” so well that he was obliged to sing again, and the Leech sisters took the house by their banjo playing and sing- ing of old plantation melodies. ‘Miss Mary Helen Howe sang the jewel rong from “Faust” so artistically that she received an emphatic encore, in response to which she sang the nightingale song from the “Fencing Master” in exquisite style. The n Helen nd Modus, from “he Hunchback,” was exceliently given by Miss Lavinia Snannon and Mr. Giles Shine, and then the Philharmonic Quartet, com- posed of Mrs. H. H. Mil's, director, Miss McCullough, Mrs. Hills, Miss Simonds and Miss Stidham, sang “Loul du Bal,” Gillet- Harris, as they only can sing it. As is usual with this quartet, two recalls fol- lowed, both of which were highly pleasing. ‘The Waterbury brothers presented an ii teresting musical melange, proving the: gelves good musicians and attractive pe formers. Mr. Arthur D. Mayo, Miss Jessie Wise and Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard officiated as accompanists in the most satis- factory manrer. Many of the performers were the recipients of floral tributes, notably Miss Lewis and Miss Howe. The whole affair was one of the most successful, both artistically and financially, that has ever been given in this city. The Fencibles will realize about $1,000, Although the program was a long one, everything went off with. out a hitch, and there was no wait between any of the numbers. This was owing to the excellent stage management of Mr. David Towers.

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE MEETINGS Liabilities and Contracts Assumed by the Citizens. SUCCESS PREDICTED The citizens’ Pythian encampment com- mittee and the executive committee,Knights of Pythias, each held a long session at the Warder building last night. The result was that the Pythians committed their cause to the citizens, passed a resolution agree- ing to abide by the will of the citizens’ committee. On the part of the latter com- mittee it wal agreed to assume all the re- sponsibility for the encampment excepting the ability for prize money ($8,500), which the lodges pledge themselves to raise. This responsibility Was left with the Pythians because it is @ peculiarly Pythian Mability, and because of the fact that as there are sixteen hundred Pythians in Washington the raising of this sum. would necessitate @ per capita assessment of but about $5. The matter of badges is also left with the Pythian committee, the citizens rendering tu for $450 of the sum of by seven mem| as :G. W. ley, J. H. Mit Notley Anderson, A. F. Medford, J.

The cit- izens also assumed the contract en into for tents by the Pythian committee with the McCaulley firm at Columbus, sub- ject to modification. < ‘The citizens’ committee met on the sixth floor of the Warder building, and were call- ed to order by Mr. Chapin Brown, the new chairman. Secretary George E. Emmons read the minutes of the previous meeting and these were approved. The first order of business was the report of the commit- tee to suggest nominations for the chair- manship and finance committee, but pend- ing the arrival.of several mbers Chair- man Brown ea that had a con- ference with . Richard Goodhari, chair- man of the executive committee, Knights of Pythias, who had said that it was his idea to turn everything over to the citi- zens; that his committee will be perfectly satisfied with this arrangement and will be willing to abide by all the decisions of sbout "ta be Daused by the citinena, taking about to the ment for me es when-ettisens Edson, Carmody and Walker Suggested that this had better be post- poned until the jurisdictions of each com- mittee be definitely determined all the contracts entered janes could be ‘Mr. Edson moved that the Pythian executive committee be requested to appoint a special committee of three to bring before the citizens’ com- mittee all contracts which they had en- tered into and Secretary Emmons left the room for the purpose of making known to the Pythians this resolution of the citi- zens. At this point it was suggested to add five members of the Pythian commit- tee to the citizens” committee, it being said that under an it of this kind the Pythian committees, as already organized. could remain intact. Mr. Edson thought that the Pythians should assume the re- sponsibility for the prize money, thus re- Heving the citizens’ committee of this bur- den. At this juncture Ri Goodhart, Recording Secretary A. F. Med- ford and Mr. Notley Anderson of the Py- thian executive committee entered the room. suggestion as to their assumption of the responsibility for money was ex- plained. Then followed a close communion consultation between . Brown, Em- mons, Goodhart and Medford. Emmons anounced the total of individual subscriptions as ‘reported by the Pythians as $11,841, making a total amount pledged of $17,406. Of this, 75 had been collect- ed and about a thousand dollars disbursed, with outstanding bills of about four hun- dred dollars. The schedule of expenses pro- Posed was announced a follows: Camp and camp grounds. $21,000; fireworks, $2,500; public comfort, $800; ilumtnating Pennsyl- nesslons of the Supreme Lodge, tani; forage s of the } . s $850; decorations, $500; music, $650: print- ing, $50; judges, $300; salaries, and neces- sary office expenses, $2500, and several other items aggregating in all $38,750. Further Finance Talk. A question wes asked by the citizens as to the necessity of flooring the tents, as it was understood that at several ments this comfortable provision for the knights had not been made The Pythians thought that perhaps @ compromise might be made*on the basis of flooring one-half the tent. This would make a saving of several thousands of dollars. Only 15 per cent of the first cost of the lumber could be realized by its sale after use. It was suggested that it would be advisable not to loca: and Carmody held a consultation over the plan of the camp as submitted by Mr. mm, and Mr. Edson announced that things there appeared to be in very shape. A long talk on the subject of tents followed. Mr. Goodhart thought that $2,000 might be realized by a ball and promenade concert, which it was proposed to give at Convention Hall on the night of August 28 in commemoration of the institution of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. He said that the fame of Convention Hell had extended to the uttermost parts of the country, and this would be an attraction in itself. The Ma- rine Band, which, it was Proposed, could furnish the music, would also be another paying card. With this t: of attractions he thought the sum in ited would be taken in. It had been suggested that tick- ets for gentlemen and two ladies be placed at $2. Mr. Carmody wanted to know the Pythians expected to realize as celpts from admissions to the competitive drill. This could-not safely be answered. It was ald that Gen. com. mander-in-chief of the Uniform Rank, expressed the opinion that Knights oe the Uniform Rank should be admitted free, but it seemed to be the sense of the m: last oe ad that an admission should be rs § The Pythians had entered in: for the North Capitol street, base bail grounds at $25 per day. The question ot music came up for discussion, and this mat- ter was turned over entirely to the citizens. It was suggested that the gentiemen who have been solieiting contributions be dis- charged. At this point Mr. made an explanation of how the committee failed to grow rich because of the benefits given them by the Ideal Opera Company. Of the prize money of $$,500, pledged by the lodges, $400 had been paid up. Secretary Emmons read at length the contracts entered into by the Pythians for tents and badges. Then followed a talk of an informal nature, whereby It was sought to map out the province of the citizens’ and the Pythians’ committees. Chairman Goodhart of the Pythian executive committee was made chairman of the citizens’ reception com- mittee. The proposed expenditure for horses and 8 formed u text for dis- cussion, and it was explained that a high authority in the order had stated that car- riage rides about the city and excursions intended to amuse the members of the Su preme Lodge were uselessly expensive. Mr. horses will be defrayed by those who rode them, The Prize Money. Gen. Carnahan, in conference, reported that he had seen the War Department au- in the capacity of judges and then the gen- eral would have to see them to procure their consent. There was no trouble about have seen the Navy Department officials with a view to having several men-of-war stationed at the navy yard during the en- campz.ent for the entertainment of inland visitors. Mr. Edson asked Gen. Carnahan if he would have any objections to the citi- zens’ committee providing a military escort for the uniform rank on vhe day of their parade? Gen. Carnuhan said no; provided the military display was in keeping with the knighUy show. He wouil not like to have the column of Pythians ineaded by % single company. It wou!l take at least one full regiment to make the right hind of a display. Mr. Walker moved that a com- Tittee be appointed to confer immediately with the Pythian committee, which was the buillé'ng, for the purpose of determining the respons!- bility for that much-discussed prize money. Mr. Edson deciared that they rhould set- tle that thing at once. The motion of Mr. Walker got lost in the shuffle, while at the seme ‘ime the Pythians were pledging themselves te assume this burdea. Mr. Alvord moved that the citizens’ comasttee be increased by the addition of seven mem- bers of the Pythian executive committee by nomination of the chairman of that committee. Mr. Frank B. Noyes was nomi- rated for the chairmanship of ~he finance committee, and Mr. Edson took occasion to compliment Mr. Noyes on his tusiness Sagacity. Mr. Noyes stated that ne had some misgivings as to nis ability to suc- cessfully perform the duties of the post to which his friends sougnt to elevate -him,-—~ and he felt that the position couié be better filled by an older man. This was unavail- ing, and in Brown put the nomi- nation and Mr. Noyes was elected. After much talk of minor consequence a com- mittee was appdinted to prepare a plan of procedure and report at the next meeting ice citizens’ committee, at 4 p.m. Thars- “3 The members of the citizens’ committee Present were as follows: Mr. Chapin Brown, Gen.

Tillman and Senator But- ler, candidates for the United States Sen- ate, appeared on the stump together. Four candidates for governor made *peeches, and Congressman Strait appeared before his constituents for re-election. The interest of the meeting centered in the engagement between Tillman and Butler, Tillman had the opening speech. Ile de nied that he was responsible for all the bitterness injected into the politics of the state, and charged the newspapers with this offense. The memorable part of bis Speech was not in his discussion of national question: uut in his plea for peace and for & patient and respec:fal hearing cf the ad- dresses of the candidates. Senator Butler made quite a favorable impression, evidently having as many sup- porters in the large audience as Gov. Till- man. He said he would met the governor more than half way in ‘is request for fair play; told how he had written to the dem- ocratic executive committee, asking that a special box for the senatorial vote be placed at the primary polls, and pledgd himself to withdraw from the race if he @id not receive a majority of the demo- cratic votes vollel at the primary. The committee had not yet acted upon the prop- orition, and he judced that Gov. Tiliman, who had always been so earnest an advo- cate of the primary plan, was no: disposed now to run the risk of defeat at a primary of the party. Senator Butler said chat he wished to bring the people of the state again together, and he was the one to do it. There was no disorder at the meeting, and this is regardei as an sign.

Olivet, IL, 1s now assuming a serious and threatening aspect. The seventh regiment, Illinois Na- tional Guard, Col. Colby commanding, ar- rived yesterday afternoon and are now camped there. They are there to assist the United States marshals in arresting the miners who for the past week have been conévcting things with such a bigh hand, Stopping freight trains, rioting, breaking car seals, and, when coal was found, not permitting it to be carried through the city, but unlcading and taking it home. The grand jury of Mocupin county, last week found indictments, and warrants were issued for the arrest for 110 miners charged with various offenses. Last Saturday night United States Mar- shal Brinton and seven assistants made an effort to arrest the guilty ones on these warrants, but to no avail, as they were surrounded by the angry miners and forc- ed to release the prisoners. Owing to the presence of the militia, how- ever, the guilty ones are being arrested as fast as found. About 400 of the miners held a secret meeting and passed resolutions to the ef- fect that they would hereafter molest no trains passing through the city, and would aiso willingly surrender all guilty partics wanted. A committee was appointed to tel- egraph Governor Altgeld, asking him to countermand the orders for help, and ha’ him stop the troops at Litchfield, as they (the strikers) did not want the disgrace of having it said that their presence was need- ed. It was all to no avail, however, as the troops came, just the same. Superintendent Hebenstreit of the Staunton mines said that mines No. 6 and 7 would start at that place toda: TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW A NATURAL color, prevent aidness, and keep the Realthy: Hall's Hair Renewer was ‘Sremet. oak as proved iweif successful.
