Act Bishop John T. Hurst, chancellor of the projected American University, and Vice Chancellor Samuel L. Beller will return here shortly after extensive trips through the west in furtherance of the establish- ment of the university. The work of se- curing funds and preparing for building has Progressed systematically at the headquar- ters here through the summer. Bishop Hurst is now at the conferences in Indiana, while Dr. Beiler is attending those in west- ern Pennsylvania, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and elsewhere. This field work, as it is called, is expected to stimulate the various sections on the university project and to bring about substantial additions to the funds. A steady increase in the fund has pro- ceeded through the summer, although the larger subscriptions have been for estab- lishing professorships, while the university officers are anxious to get the buildings-be- fore establishing professorships and scholar- ships. A Most Muntficent Offer. This desire has led to the offer by a wealthy gentleman, who does not wish his name used at present, to build the first structure, to be used as an administration building. It is estimated that it will cost from $200,000 to $250,000. It will be of stone or marble, three stories high, about 250 feet long by 100 feet deep. The time for break- ing ground for this building has not yet been svt, but it is not likely to be begun be- fore next spring. Funds to begin grading have also been subscribed, but this work is deferred pending the establishment by the local authorities of a uniform grade for Massachusetts and Nebraska avenues, along which the university grounds extend. It ts calculated that this grading and the actual building will be under way by next spring. The architect's designs for the building have been made under the supervision of the gentleman who proposes to do the work, and have been approved by the officers here. ‘This buitcing, when completed, will be the nucleus for future buildings. It will first be used for a special purpose, probably a school of history, and while thus used a second building will be added. Thus the whole group of buildings will be gradually devel- oped. Designs Already Completed. At present designs have been made for the administration building, library, chapel, hall of science, hall of history, hall of philosophy, hall of languages and literature, hall of law, hall of medicine, observatory, three residences with dormitories for stu- dents, chancellor's house, professors’ houses, sium and power house. The observa- to be located on the highest point in strict of Columbia, and is said to have a site superior to the government ob- servatory near by. Besides the offer to build the first build- ing, there have been two donations of $100,- w each, one by an Ohio gentleman and the other by a New York lady, whose names are withheld. Both of these are for pro- fessorships. = Growth of the Preachers’ Fun The “preachers’ fund” has also grown to $68,000 within recent days. Of this, $7,000 in cash has been paid in. It was started in New York, being restricted to preachers, and has been taken up all over the country, until the fund js expected to reach $100,000, It will be used to build Asbury Hall, named after the first American bishop. The hall will secve as a religious museum. Mrs. John A. Logan, one of the trustees, has also undertaken to raise a special fund, and has set the figure at one million dollars. The preliminary work is being done toward in- teresting parties in this fund, and there are prospects that one of the contributions will be in the hundred thousands, although, as yet, they have not been reported above $1,006 and $5,000, At present, it is estimated that the assets of the university, including real estate and assurances of contrioutions, will reach $00,000. ae AMUSEMENTS. Mr. Lind’s Song Recital.—_Those who knew Mr. Louts Lindheimer four years ago, when he was a pupil of Mrs. Mills, just beginning to develop his naturally fine baritone voice, and had not heard him until last night, when, as Homer Lind, he ap- peared at Metzerott Hall, were surprised and gratified at the improvement he had made. His studies in Germany, pursued on the same line that they were begun in this city, have made him now an artistic singer, with a voice ef good compass and consid- erable power. Last night he confined him- self exclusively to scngs of the classic and medern German school, but they were of such a wide range of sentiment and treat- ment that they afforded kim an excellent opportunity to display his rich voice to the best advantage, and to exhibit his intelll- gent grasp of the different composers’ work. He proved himself an artist in ev- ery selection he sang, whether it was a sentimental ballad or a stirring, heroic, de- scriptive song, and the applause which greeted every effort testified to the detight of his enthusiastic audience. It was re- gretted that he sang all his numbers in German, except the Grieg ballad, with which the recital closed, for in that his enunciation was clear dicated what nd distinct, and in- would have been the addi- tional enjoyment to many in the audience had he gi other compositions. by en English translations Mr. Lind was a the Philharmonic Quartet, who ieg’s Serenade, “Appear, Love, at Wind Mrs. Anna Craig Hills singing the obligato solo, and with their director, Mrs. Mills, Mr. Arthur Perey Harris’ rangement of Giilet’s om Du which Mrs. MUtls took the obligato ’ solo, This received its usual encore. Mr. Wm. eker performed the arduous duties of mpanist in the most efficient manner. Vaudeville at Albaugh'’s—A week of re- fined vaudeville, presenting some of the greatest specialty artists of Europe and America, will be given at Albaugh'’s Grand Opera House next week the Boston Howard Athenaeum Star Specialty Com- any. The entire performance will be en- tertaining, interesting and refined. Through this engagement the patrons of Albaugh's will have an opportunity of witnessing the highest forms of vaudeville, such as are so eminently successful in some of the great- est theaters of London and Paris. A big sensation with the company is Caicedo, known as the king of the wire, a unique and great performer on the wire. Eunice Vance, England's captivating songstress, will sing her own new songs. The list of other artists Includes Kalkasa, a marvelous equillbrist- and jug the pretty Ameri- can serio-comic voc: Maude Raymond; Pitrot, the inimitable mimic; Les Freres Crescendo, musical eccentriques from Paris; | the Eddy family, in astounding acrobatie | feats; the clever comedy duo, Stinson and Merton, :n their funny character sketch, and the American comedians, Smith and Campbell, In their humorous skit, “As You Like It.” The innovation of fine ville at Albaugh’s promises to be plete success.

In the equity suit filed some time ago by the Annheuser Busch Brewing Association Brit- ton, Wm. J. Sewell, Alex. B. Andrews and Bradley B. Smalley, the executive commit- tee on awards of the world's Columbian fair commission, the defendants have filed very voluminous answer. The object of the suit was to secure a rerating of the beer exhibited by the complainants, and a new award on the ating. The defendants deny that the bureau of against John Boyd Thacher, Alex. T. ards created a court of appeals, and deny that Prof. H. W. Wiley was unable to personally superintend an lysis of all beer sent to him by the committee. They deny that the announcement or promulga- tion of the award will everywhere be ac- cepted as a finding and determination of the quality and constituents of the said Budweiser bottled beer. . After explaining at er ner of making awards, the defendants that they have no power to require any further action on the part of the Individual judge or to change in any respect the award made by the committee.

Some time ago two officers of the Central Union Mission wrote to the Commisstoners to inquire whether it was necessary for them to take out a dining-room license, in view of the fact that the restaurant in con- nection with the mission is not a source of revenue, but is a public charity. The mat- ter was referred to the District assessor for his decision. In his report, made yesterday, Mr. Trim- ble says that the proprietors ‘of all res- taurants and eating houses are compel- led to pay a license fee of $25 annually, He is given to understand, by the license in- Spectors connected with his office, that the Central Union Mission does identically the same business as others who pay a license, serving meals to all casual visitors and charging therefor.
