SKETCHES OF THE OFFICERS Washington, next month, will be repre- sented in the Little Rock interstate drill by two model organiza:ions. The Fencibles have heretofore won fame, glory and cash in similar contests, but during the first week of the coming month af July Capt. Domer’s men must battle ag@inst a local rival that Is determined to do or die. That ccntestant is the pride of thé second -egi- ment, and is undoubtedly one of the per- manently best drilled organisations in the United States. It was ten years ago, under most favor- able auspices, that the District of Columbia militla wus strengthened by the then ; year. Sergt. Robinson has also partici fant Irish-American military organization styled the Emmet Guard. Under tie able administration of Capt. W. A. Murphy it prospered numerically, financially an 20- cially. When only six months old the mem- bers decided to hold a fair for the purpose of uniforming themselves and their most sanguine hopes were more than realized, the proceeds of the entetprise amounting to nearly eight thousand dojlars, by which they were enabled to procure a uniform, which, if not as gaudy, was at least aa rich in material as any in the District. When the National Guard Was orgarized the Emmet Guard was one of the first to respond. Since its admission. June 2%. 188s, it has gained an enviable reputation for it- self, not alone for the military accomplish- ments of its officers, but also for the sol- dierly bearing of the men_composing it. Lieut. Harden. While other organizations have looked for their success from a social stapdpuint, the chief characteristic of the Emmet Guard has been the attainment of that dcgree of efficiency in military tactics whieh can only be acquired by judicious application to drill. Capt. Harry Walsh is a well-known Washingtonian, and ts in his twenty-eighth year. When, in April. 18%, the Emmet Guard was orggnized, Capt. Walsh was one of the first to seek admission, but owing to the fact of his being under eighteer. years of age his eléction was Geferred until the following October. From the te of his ptability to military matters, and, besides, became univervaily popular in the company. As vacancies occurred he was advanced by the choice of his friends, In 1885 he Was made corporal, and shortly after second Heuten- Wn. F. Galligher. ant. He was commissioned first Neutenant in July, 1887, and in December, 1800, he was elected and commisstoned captain. During his connection with the company, Capt. Walsh has shown himself an unti ing cfficer, and the advances made by his command attest his effictency. First Lieut. R. J. Harding is of twenty-nine years of ag OF napa a soldierly figure and bearing. fe gained his military experience from his connection with the company. From the date of his qualification as first Heutenant he has made rapid strides toward perfecting himself in all the duties pertaining to the position he holds, and it is safe to say that of all the officers of his rank in the guard none are more aptly adapted to the position than he. ‘Lieutenant Harlow was born in Alexandria, Va., about twenty-eight years ago. He enlisted im the company six months after its inception, and since then has served through all the grades of cor- poral, sergeant and first sergeant. He has talen an active part in many individual competitive drills for the past six years, and seldom, if ever, suffered defeat. He had such confidence in his abillty and nerve that he journeyed to New York four years oung man Geo. A.

Fourth Sergt. George A. Brower became @ member of the Emmet Guard ‘on the first day of the present month, but he has @ varied military career. It was in 1888-x¥ that Sergt. Brower gained his first knowj- edge of military matters as a member of the High School Cadets. Later he enlisted in the National Guard and successively served as private, corporal, sergeant, first ser- geant, second Heutenant, first leutenant and captain of the old Light Guard, com- pany C, fourth battalion. Although not having indulged in affairs military for sev- eral years, Mr. Brower is a thorough tac- ticlan and an expert driller, and will un- doubtedly prove a valuable addition to Capt. Walsh's command. Fifth Sergt. John Gately is a true soldier in every sense of the word. He joined forces with the Emmets in February, 1889, was Promoted to corporal in June of the same year, and was appointed sergeant-major of the battalidn soon thereafter. He was tendered the captaincy of company C, fifth battalion, but the appointment was. de- He is a model soldier, | clined, and Mr. Gately returned to his first love.

The New Opera.—The production at Al- | baugh’s next week of “Marken, or the Leg- | end of Vuur-Bril,” by Philander Johnson of The Evening Star, and J. Emory Shaw, for- merly of this city, may be considered a most prcmising venture. The fact that Maoager Strakosch found enough merit ‘n it to warrant his producing it as one of a serles of operas by standard composers is an indication that it has substantial claims | ‘© approval. The story is a striking one, and admits of situations which appeal Strongly to the sense of the ludicrous—the | more strongly because they have the mint- mum of reminiscent suggestion of the stock material for plot and climax. The central | {dea is that if one of our conventionally at- | tired countrymen were to go among a primi- tive people he would be more of an object of wonder to them than one of their num- | ber would be in a United States drawing Toom. The substaniial and conservative people of the Island of Marken in the Zuy- der Zee furnish exactly the environment | for the development of such a complication. Wealthy and prosperous, as a rule, the Mar- kenites have no desire to do more than per- petuate the honesty and thrift of their an- cestors. With their principles they have re- tained the costumes and ideas of the remote pest with @ fidelity which makes them a Yeritable antique aristocracy. To produce the full impression of con- trust between the interesting folk and the | young American gentleman who makes his | ®ppearance in their midst the first act is devoted almost entirely to putting the au- @ience en rapport with the peasantry. The rise of the curtain discloses an interior in | the home of Jakob Van Heemskerk, the burgomaster. The peasants were invited for a merry making, but Father Heems- kerk has, with characteristic frugality, turned the occasion into an apple-paring bee. For in one of those melodic confi- | dences which comic opera permits the | burgomaster explains that his most valu- able maxim is “See that everybody works except yourself.” And the chorus acqui- esces with “See that everybody works except yourself —it is a rule That is better than a guardian fay or elf. If from want you would be free, Let this your motto be: ‘Bee aeee everybody works except your- self’ Later in the evening the comely but ma- ture housewife, Sophia, out to partake of a rupper that has been | arranged for them, and her practical turn | of mind is demonstrated by her song, in) which she sa} “So, maidens, list to my advice | And learn to cook all dishes nice, For when you'd touch some man's hard heart, ‘tis vain to droop or sigh, | Just work with culinary art, and touch it | with a pie.” Father Heemskerk explains that his rea- gon in summoning these guests was to pro- | P- vide a hearty welcome for the young man | in her childhood. The young man is the son of his old neighbor, Pieter De Hoogh, who years befote had gone to America. Be- | fore his departure, in order to cement the | neighborly affection between the two fami- Hes, Httle Elsa Van Heemskerk was pledg- ed in matrimony to little Derrick De Hoogh. Derrick was expected to arrive to claim his bride, but has evidently missed | the boat and cannot therefore arrive for | weeks to come. With the perverseness of her sex, Elsa has ensrely ignored the ar- rangements made by her father, and has fallen irrevocably in love with one of her peasant companions, Karel. Her position ig naturally conducive to romantic melan- choly, and in a mood of affectionate des- | peration she apostrophizet the evening breeze with “Oh, winds, bear a message from me To one who ever dearest will be— Breathe soft these words, ‘I love thee!’ Her lover, however, has no need of the | aerial messenger, for he is at hand and/ uta in a timely appearance just in time | For a duct. Soldiers arrive and state that a famous European criminal has been traced to th island. Father Heemskerk agrees to keep a lookout for him. As it !s growing late, Sophia suggests that the young people had better go home, as a storm !s coming up, and, besides, the demon Vuur-Bril might get them. It ts explained in the dialogue and through the legend song which Karel sings that Vuur-Bril is a monster with the evil eye, who visits the island every hun- dredth year. In life he was betrayed from @ position of proud prosperity by # voman, and his decree is that if nis g1 glassy eye looks upon a woman she m merry within a month; if on a man, he may never marry while he st: in Marken. Thus he protects the men and wreaks his hatred on the women. During the story the storm has reached a point of fury, and when Der- ritk appears he is, with his :nonocle and | Strange attire, immediately taken for Vuur-Bril. His consternation ts equaled only by that of the peasants, and the finale of the first act begs in a swinging waltz rhythm his instant departure Tt is in the first act that the story is mainly developed, the second and third betag largely taken up with the ‘roubles in which Derrick finds himself, through the dread of the people and with the police authorities. Derrick is naturally mystified at his re- éeption and in topical song declares that his unpopularity cannot be due to his: at- tire, for throughout It is “The style In New York.” Just prior to the finale of the sec- | ond act the criminal, disguised as a monk, comes on the scene. A monk ts a very un- familiar personage in Holland, but when, ° after cooling his face at the windmill, he exclaims, “Blessings on the cool water!” they apply the somewhat misty ideas of holy water, which they have gathered, and determine to put Derrick under the windmill. To add to his discomfiture the | soldiers place him under arrest as the erim- | inal. In the third act the threads of the story | are brought together and the love affair of | Karel and Elsa is happily straightened out | by Derrick’s declaration that he would be | much pleased if the engagement could be | annulled. And the curse of Vuur-Bril be- ing an exploded myth, the youths and dam- plighted their troths anew and the cur- in gces down on 4 scene of the blythest cheer. John G. Bell, the stage manager, will be Derrick; Maurice Hageman, Father Heems- | kerk; Fred.
