Mr. James McNabb, for many years a resi- dent of the District, died Thursday at his home, 913 Westminster street northwest, after a short illness, at the age of eighty- two years. Mr. McNabb was born in Har- ford county, Md., December 25, 1812. He located in Baltimore while still a young rean, where he was identified with large building interests for many years. At the breaking out of the civil war Mr. McNabb, ty his firm devotion to the government, sacrificed a successful and growing business and then came to this city and joined Gen. Stoneman in establishing the cavalry depot at Giesboro’. He has lived here continuous- ly ever since. A widow and seven children survive him, among whom are Mrs. Preston, widow of Mr. H. A. Preston, the well-known journal- ist, and Mr. James McNabb, jr., who was identified for many years with the press of ‘this city. Two other sons also survive him, and are engaged in business interests in this city. Mr. McNabb gathered at his fireside four generations. The remains will be taken to Baltimore and interred in Green- mount cemetery, the family burial place. ——_>——__— Foundry Epworth League. ‘The members of the Sunday school and the Epworth League of Foundry M. E. Church held a most enjoyable meeting last evening, which combined a welcome home to the members who have been absent dur- ing the summer and a rally for the league. The Sunday school room was tastefully decorated, and a large number of persons were present. The pastor of the church, Rev. Dr. Oliver A. Brown, opened the meeting with a few remarks, and he was followed by Superin- tendent James L. Ewin of the Sunday school. President William B. Matthews of the Epworth League also spoke briefly. A musical and literary program followed, the numbers being contributed by_ Miss Emma Houchen, Nelson R. Wood, Irving O. Ball, Miss Lizzie Carver, Miss Grace Altschu, Miss Hattie Burdett, W. B. Whip- ple and Miss Meta Altschu. Later in the evening refreshments were served. =a The Coming Pure Food Exhibition. The third annual pure food exhibition will open at Convention Hall cn November 12, and continue three weeks. The time for holding these exhibits has been changed, in order that exhibitors may reap the benefits of it during the entire winter season. Miss Helen Louis? Johrson, editor of “Table Talk,” will give lectures and demonstra- tions on the art of cooking each afternoon, and ecreerts will be given by a select or. chestra h afternoon and evening. Be- sides, many new features will be added. Mr. H. S. Barbour, secretary and treas- urer of the exhibition, says the coming ex- hibis is expected to be the most successful ever held here. Already much preparation nas been made. —_>—— Divorce Suit Dismissed. Judge Cox has denied the petition of Mitchell E. Robinson for a divorce from Nancy Robinson, and, after directing the | payment of counsel's fees, has dismissed the case. The complainant charged his wife with deserting him, but she answered that she left him because he would not sup- port his family. AMUSEMENTS. Albaugh’s.—At Albaugh’s Grand Opera House, beginning next Monday night, Manager Allen will offer a most attractive entertainment in the highest class of re- fined vaudeville, having secured for one week only the Boston Howard Athenaeum Star Specialty Company. This splendid and well-equipped organization has been put together for the purpose of visiting the first-class theaters in the large cities only, so as to give the patrons of these houses a per- formance of infinite variety and introducing some of the greatest specialty artists of the day, the performance being similar to those which attracted such immense audiences in the great vaudeville theaters of London and Paris. Mr. James J. Armstrong, the pro- prietor and director of this company, is the leading vaudeville agent of New York, and as he is the direct agent for all places of amusement requiring specialty acts, con- sequently the artists he offers to Washing- ten audiences next week are of the highest character in the vaudeville world. Caicedo, king of the wire, an artist new to Washing- ton, is with this-company. This artist has just finished an engagement at Koster & Bial’s, New York city, where he created wonder and astonishment in his novel specialty on the lofty wire. Miss Eunice Vance, who Is acknowledged to be Eng- land's leading songstress, is also with this company. This young woman is a singer of decided originality and only renders her own compositions. Miss Vance will render the following songs during her engagement: “I Love You,” “Keep Your Nose Out of My Bonnet,” “I Can't Resist You, Sir,” and the “Tricky Brigade.” The program also includes the Eddy family, noted for their extraordinary specialty acrobats; Kal- kasa, an equilibrist and juggler, said to be the equal of Schaeffer; Pitrot, the mimic; Maude Raymond, a popular balladist; Smith and Campbell, comedians; Les Freres Cres- cendos, in a novel act with different musi- cal instruments, such as lamps, chairs and tables, introducing at the same time elec- trical effects, different from any other musical artists in this country; Stinson and Merton, a clever sketch duo, and others will appear during this engagement. New National Theater.—Hoyt’s amusing play, “A Milk White Flag,” will again be seen in this city next week; this time at the New National Theater. Academy of Music.—Kellar, the magician, with his newst marvels, assisted by Mrs. Kellar, will appear at the Academy of Music next Monday night for a week's en- gagement. Butler’s Bijou Theater._Next week Dan McCarthy, the Irish comedian, will appear at Butler’s Bijou Theater and will present chree successful plays. These will be “The Pride of Mayo,” “The Rambler from Clare” and “Cruiskeen Lawn.” The first named Is Mr. McCarthy's latest production and its success will be fully equal to that which has attended the other two. The plot is not only interesting, but is entirely out of the usual stereotype groove of so-called Irish dramas, while the vein of comedy rervading the piece is crisp and pure, and Keeps the audience in one continual roar of laughter from the rise to the fall of the curtain. Mr, McCarthy will be supported by an excellent company and all the plays will be handsomely staged. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The attrac- tion at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week will be Fields and Hanson's Drawing Cards. This company hardly requires an introduction to the patrons of the Lyceum. This season, however, the organization is stronger than ever before, and with that old reliable musical team for a headline, there is no cause to doubt their claim as “Drawing Cards” in fact, as well as in name. Other contributors to the fund of amusement are Mazuz and Abacco, as the tramp and the brakeman; Johnnie Carroll, the peer of all song comiques; the Kaffa Brothers, in their marvelous acrobatic sketch; John and Harry Dillon, the singers and writers of all the latest parodies; Charlie Case, commander-in-chief of the army of fun; Effie Heusted and Mable Guery, the charming song and dance artists; George A Austin, on the bounding wire; Edgar and Curran, the Irish comedians and wits; Miss Maude Beverly, justly named the vital spark, and_ those monarchs of musical minstrelsy, Fields and Hanson. The performance will conclude with the laughable farce, entitled “The Busy Hotel.” John L, Stoddard.—The many admirers of John L. Stoddard, who watch his move- ments through each summer, will be inter- ested to know that he has just returned fiem a ramble through Burope,« which has extended over many months. During its progress he has completed the series of lectures which is to be his offering for the ecming season. Among the places earliest visited was Paris, where he greatly enjoyed himself, renewing, with pleasure, his former intimacy with its beautiful features, and noting the many changes which have oc- curred since last he had time to make spe- cial observations there. He gathered re- newed inspiration in his study of the won- derful natural and historical features of Rome. Switzerland seems never to have appeared lovelier to him than during his visit of the past summer, and wherever he went he found ample employment for his active hours. Having amassed his material he retired to a quiet spot, where, supplied with an unlimited number of illustrations, which he considers of unusual excellence, he completed the lectures which are to form his fifteenth annual series. He opens his season next week at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and is already overrun with ap- plications for dates which cannot be met. National Lyceum Course.—The managers of the National Lyceum Course make pub- lic in ‘The Star teday a part of the program for the series of ten popular-priced concerts and lectures to be given here this winter. The entertainments fer wiich arrange- ments have been made are among the strongest lyceum attraetions in the coun- try. They include Geo. W. Riddle in the Shakespearean readings for which he is famous; Ollie Torbett, the well-known violin player, and her company, which in- cludes the Lutheran Swedish Sextet( male voices) and Isidore Moquist, the pianist and composer who took the Herald prize for piano composition two years ago; Miss Mary Proctor,daughter of the late Richard A. Proctor, who has been known heretofore as a writer on astronomy for children, but “hbo recently made a successful debut as a lecturer in-New York clty; the Wesleyan College Glee and Mandolin Clubs, who will be here during the Christmas holiday sea- son, and the Smith Sisters’ Concert Com- pany, six sisters, who have made an ex- cellent reputation in other cities, but who have never been heard here. To these five entertainments will be ad- ded five others, which promise to be even better, as they will probably include Walter Damrosch's lecture on Wagner, the New York Philharmonic Club and Jennie O'Neil Potter. These entertainments, with one, possibly two, exceptions, will be held on ‘Wednesday evenings; and the dates which will probably be arranged are December 5, 26; January 5, 16, 23, 30; February 6, 13, 20 and 27. The program is varied enough to suit all tastes, and the price of the subscription tickets is low enough to come within the means of almost any one. The managers of the course are trying to persuade Jas. Whitcomb Riley to come here later Ir the season, but he has withdrawn for the present from all platform engage- ments on account of ill health. —_—_——_—. Knights of Honor. The regular meeting of Potomac Lodge, Knights of Honor, was held last evening at Knights of Honor Hall, No. 514 9th street northwest, Dictator Wood presiding. Quite a revival in the Interests of the order has occurred recently, and new applications for membership are being presented at each meeting. Four new members were in- itiated last evening and other applications received. Past Director Floyd of Federal Lodge was present, and interested the members with commendatory remarks. Su- preme Rep. J. D. Terrell, Grand Dictator J. Wm. Palmer and others made remarks, congratulating the lodge upon its increase in membership. —_—_— Ladies’ of the G. A. R. The last regular meeting of U. S. Grant Circle, No. 1, Ladies of the G. A. R., was a most enjoyable one. The president, Mrs. Nellie C. Royce, and many of the members had attended the encampment at Pitts- burg, and were enthusiastic over their re- ception. Pleasing remarks were made by Comrades Lincoln, Royce and others. An interesting report of the proceedings of the national convention was read by the dele- gate, Mrs. Florence C. George, showing the growth of the order, which expended dur- ing the past year over $16,000 in charity. >—— A Brotherhood of St. Andrew service will be held at St. Stephen’s Church, Mount Pleasant, tomorrow night, to which all in- terested in the coming brotherhood conven- tion are invited. Those of the clergy and laity who will speak will be Rev. R. 8S. W. Wood of St. John’s Church, Rev. J. T. Crow, Brookland, D. C., and Mr. Bryan of Emmanuel Church, Anacostia, and the rector, Rev. Geo. F. Dudley. NEW MASK AND WIG CLUB. Students an@ A§umni of Columbia: University Compiete an Organization. A meeting was ealled in the law hall at the Columbiani University last evening for the purpose of perfecting the permanent organization of.a Mask and Wig Club. The work of preliminary preparation for this event has been in ¢he hands of a commit- tee elected by the temporary organization which was effected last summer, and the concise and well-@rawn constitution sub- mitted showed! that the matter of business management @f the club had been given careful study !and forethought. The hall was filled with students and alumni, and the university has probably never before been the scepe of such an enthusiastic gathering of college men. After adoption of the constitution and the re-election of the officers of the temporary organization, it was proposed that the choosing of a board of directors be deferred until the next meeting, two weeks hence, when the other departments of the college, who would be invited to join in the promotion of the project, would be afforded an opportunity to be present and choose their representa- tives for the governing board. It was also suggested that an opportunity be given during this interval for all who desired to enter as charter members to sign the con- stitution before the restrictions on mem- bership are carried into effect. It has ac- cordingly been deposited with the registrar of the college for that purpose. The trus- tees of the college are very much interested in the success of this organization, and have heartily approved all that has been done, besides expressing their willingness to render any support in reason. The pre- paratory school is to be fitted up for a club house for the boys, so that their work may be carried on without being disturbed by the evening classes at the college, and the future looks very promising. Those who were among the first to sign the constitu- tion are as follows: Frank H. Hitchcock, president; Allan 0, Clephane, vice presi- dent; Samuel Hazen Bond, secretary; E. H. Parry, recording secretary; Walter R. Hensey, treasurer; C. W. Draper, H. N. Robison, P. R. Spencer, H. T. Winfield, H. C. Sheridan, Lee’ Mason Jordan, Frank Kyselka, Andrew Y. Bradley, Edgar Allan, jr, G. F. Peter, Dr. W. Willis Pomeroy, Paul F. Grove, J. A. Oldfield, Arthur B. Seibold, H. J. Van Der Beek, E. C. Schneider, Joseph Stewart, W. Harvey Muzzy, Frank S. Browne, William G. Wood- ford, Russell B. Main, A. R. Johnson, H. E. Spencer, Otto J. J. Luebkert, Reeves Lewis, Charles M. Baker, Arthur W. Giles, J. S. Pendleton, Guy H., Johnson, Melville D. Hensey, Charles H. Howe, John B. Sle- man, jr., M. Le Roy Gough. —_———.__ District Epworth League. Several important meetings of the Dis- trict Epworth League have been arranged for the near future.

Jt is stated that the real estate is worth about $40,000, and the per- sonal estate about $125,000. —__—. E. Kurtz Johnson's Estate. The widow of the late E. Kurtz Johnson, Annie Johnson, hag filed a petition for let- ters testamentary on the estate. She states that the unsecured debts of the deceased amount to less than $5,000, and that other debts to the amount of $50,000 are doubly secured. The heirs are stated to be the titioner, and the children, Richard A., arah E., Oliver P., Charles H., and Wil- liam K, Johnson, —_—_—_. A Home-Coming Social. The reception rooms of the Foundry M. E. Church were well filled last evening by the members of the church and their friends, the occasion being a home-coming social for the benefit of the Sunday school and the Epworth League.
