The lecture will be given next Tuesday afternoon at the same lace. It appears tl when Mr. Jefferson ed the date for his talk to the league he Was under the impression that this was the week of his annual theatrical engage- ment in Washington. On the contrary, he is ying at the Walnut Street Theater ‘hiladelphia. ‘The invitations and tickets for the lecture will hold good for next Tues- a Jollification Meeting. A towering pyramid of flame, a continu- ous fusillade of small arms, a babel of shouts and yells, marked the out-door por- tion of the Kensington republican jollifica- tion meeting last night. When the bonfire burned low, as many of the crowd as could access proceeded to the hall of the ensington Publishing Company to listen to the speakers. Dr. R. B.

SEVERING THETIES Farewell Reception Tendered Dr. and Mrs. Bartlett. Gathering of Friends at the Scene of Long and Eurnest Services— A Parting Gift. The Sunday school and lecture room of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church was brightly illuminated last evening and beautifully decorated with fall flowers. Great bunches of chrysanthemums, vases of flowers and potted plants were placed about in every possible location and for the time being the rooms presented a gala appearance. The occasion was a farewell reception tendered by the members of the congregation to their retiring pastor and his wife, Rev. Dr. and Mrs. William Alvin Bartlett, who sail shortly for Europe for an extended stay. The reception last evening marked the close of Dr. Bartlett's pastorate, a service which has extended over more than a dozen years and which has been marked by the greatest prosperity and kindly feeling in the church. Beyond being their pastor Dr. Bartlett has been looked upon from the first by every one in the church as a per- sonal friend, and all regarded it as their own personal loss to have him leave. For more than two hours last evening there was a steady throng of people at the church and most of them stayed throughout the entire evening. The reception was a most delightful affair in every way, barring only the fact that it was an occasion which marked the severance eof ties that bind. Had it been for the purpose of bidding Dr. and Mrs. Bartlett welcome in- stead of God speed there would have been nothing to mar the pleasure of the ucca- sion. In addition to the regular attend- ants of New York Avenue Church there were many outside of the congregation, per- sonal friends of the pastor and his wife, who took advantage of the opportunity to express their heartfelt regret that it was necesrary, owing to the condition of his health, to resign from the charge cf the church and to break, if only for a time, the pleasant social ties which he has tormed during his long residence in Washington. In the throng were -many people who are prominent in official and social life,. and each and all had a hearty handshake and a cordial word for Dr. and Mrs. Bartlett. As the guests entered the big lecture room they were given an opportunity to meet Dr. and Mrs. Bartlett once more as they stood in line with the receiving party on the south side of the room. Assisting them in receiving were the following mem- bers of the congregation: ‘ fix-Secretary and Mrs. J. W. Foster, Justice and Mrs. Harian, Mr. and Mrs. John Randolph, Senator and Mrs. Gorm:n, Dr. and Mrs. Gallaudet, Judge and Mrs. H. OQ. Claughton, Mr. J. W. Thompson and Miss ‘fhompson, Col. and Mrs: A. T. Brit- ton, Judge and Mrs. A. C. Bradley, ex- Commissioner and Mrs. Douglas, Mr. and Mrs. Noble D. Larner, Mr. and Mrs. C. wey, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Clephane, Dr. and Mrs. 8. L. Crissey, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Gurley, and Mrs. C. 5. Maj. and Mrs. George C. Gorham, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. McChesney. There was a pleasant littie incident in connection with the reception, when cone of the ladies of the congregation presented Mrs. Bartlett with an immense bunch of magnificent white roses. But an even more delightful ‘inctdent occurred a ‘ew minutes later, when the throng was densest. Mr. Noble D. Larner introduced Mr. Charles K. Foster, and the latter in a pleasant little speech presented Dr. Bart- Jett with a gold watch and chain of' the most exquisite workmanship, a parting gift from the members of the-congrega- tion, Dr. Bartlett was visibly affected by this expression of their esteem, and al- though he tried to be witty and gay in his response, it was evidently hard for him to keep back the tears, although a number of his expressions were enough to provoke laughter and applause. In presenting the watch Mr. Foster said that while it was a gift that might suggest the idea of time, the great solvent of everything human, it was still something that the doctor would have with him al- ways, and that, whenever he looked at } would remind him that the hearts of his people were the gift. In replying Dr. Bartlett sai ‘or years I have watched this congregation, and now it has watched me.” Mr. Foster said he felt culled upon to add that Dr. Bartlett did not know the gathering was to be a watch meeting. Dr. Bartlett continued that there was no plece of mechanism which suggested more the ingenuity of man than @ watch, “in giv- ing me this,” he said, “you give me every- thing. 1t is a translation of the majestic orbs of heaven. It is a simple suggestion of the minutes about which 1 have preached, and a reminder that when. we have gazed on all the stars that can be told in the skies that we can see, and when their last day has set, we can enter that sphere where time shall be no more, and where we shall never watch cach other nor be watched, but live in each other’s custody and in God’s. My beloved, I thank you for this further token of your true affection.” In one of the small rooms in the base- ment of the church, a long table was spread with a handsome collation, with smaller tables about for the accommoda- tion of the guests, and the evening passed eff most pleasantly, many lingering until a late hour to speak a last few words with their beloved pestor. ‘ Among those who were present at the reception were the following: Rev. J. G. Butler, J. R. Dodge, Edwin Willits, Judge Phillips, W. B. Robison, ex-Gov. Wells, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Parker, Mr. Van Mater, R. B. Burnham, Charles Baker, Dr. Freer, John E. Mott, W. C.

Yesterday afternoon the members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary Society of the Newsboys’ and Children’s Aid Society met in the par- lors of the home, No. 927 E street north- west, for the annual election of officers and iscussion of reports. The results of the balloting for the officers consumed a larger portion of the time, and was as follows: Mrs. Thomas 8. Childs, for the fourth suc- cessive year, president; Mrs. Henry M. Tel- ler, Mrs, McColloch, Mrs. Waite, Mrs. Cun- ningham, Mrs. Metzerott, Mrs. McLanna- han, Mrs. E. M. Gallaudet, Mrs. Hamlin, Mrs. Myers and Mrs. C. H. Armes, vice presidents; Mrs. A. C, Atwater, recording cretary; Mrs. J. T. Wood, corresponding secretary, and Mrs. T. F. Macfarland, treasurer. The treasurer’s (Mrs. Macfarland) report showed that the prospects for alleviating the city’s waifs this winter are better than ever before owing to the excellent state of the funds. By another year the institution will probably be housed tn its new home, the gift of Mrs. Maulsby. Mr. Parkman, the agent, through his re- port, said that more inmates have been housed and more hungry mouths filled than ever before in the history of the society. These two reports about filled the allotted time and the ladies adjourned until next Friday. Meetings of the Auxiliary Society take place two Mondays of every month. On Thursday of this week the board of trustees, composed of Rev. Thos. 8. Childs, D.D., president; Mr. Crosby 8S. EB. M. Gallaudet and Mrs. A. H. Thomas, will meet. General George H. Shields is the treasurer of the board and Mrs. Ernest F. King, secretary. ———.__—. Ripans for billousness; all druggists’, Sc. box.—Advt. E and AMUSEMENTS. Albaugh’s.—“The Great Brooklyn Handi- cap” is peculiarly interesting for the evi- dence which it gives of the variety of pub- lic taste in the drama. That there is an appetite for plays of this character must be taken for granted. Otherwise “The Great Brooklyn Handicap” would not exist. ‘The piece de resistance is a horse race. This feature represents the element of realism, which is regarded as an indispen- sable adjunct to melodrama; and on this point the public is not trifled with. There is no deception. The horses are unmis- takably real. The tendency in play-mak- ing of late has been to take it for granted that if a little bit of something is good a great deal must be correspondingly better. And thus it is that the stage has been cluttered up with pasteboard saw-mills and canvas pile-drivers, to the practical ex- clusion of actors and actresses. This is @ mistake. Actors and actresses are neces- sary to any play, and if this were only per- ceived by the managers the flavor of re- alism, entirely enjoyable if judiciously em- ployed, might be enjoyed instead of hav- ing to be practically tabooed, as there is great danger of its becoming. The situa- tion with reference to the drama is like that of the small boy who has cut some caper which amused. Charmed with his success he does the same thing cver and over, and feels aggrieved and astonished because his atdience does not show the same appreciation the last time that it did the first. he public years ago clapped its hands in approval of some scenic trick, and the theatrical manager forthwith de- voted his attention to repeating the achievement. Mechanism absorbed his at- tention to the displacement of the actor, and the result is that we have offered to- day pictures of workshops and menageries in which the live people hold about the same relation to the exhibition as the free hand figures in a patent office drawing do to their surroundings. They are essential to a sense of completeness; they serve to fix the idea of proportion, but beyond that they are unimportant. This may be’ the reason that the company in “The Great Brooklyn Handicap" does not appear to better advantage. The play has had a long run in New York. This is not necessarily in tts disfavor, although the theater pa- trcns have long since come to regard these runs in most cases as perfunctory affairs for purposes of advertisement purely, and with no significance as to artistic merit. While the pride of the big city would doubtless revolt at the suggestion, New York is, dramatically, one of the most pitiably imposed upon cities in the uni- verse. The stir of enthusiasm which ts bound to come when a contest is depicted is the main element of strength in the play, and the audience was ready and hearty in its response to this appeal to its apprecia- tion. ‘he Great Brooklyn Handicap” will doubtless succeed in pleasing many in the future.as it has done already, but it would please more if the element of humanity were not so systematically subordinated to realism. New National Theater.—“Robin Hood,” still virile and enchanting, was given at the New National Theater last night by the Bostonians. The cast was worthy of the opera, and the audience was lavish in its approval, The vitality which this opera Possesses and its indispensability to the company would make it distinctly proper to rechristen the organization “The Robin Hood” Opera Company. The spirit of the melodies and the richness of their har- monic development are handled with all the company’s old-time skill, Even should “Robin Hood” prove to be the one import- ant work of Reginald de Koven’s career his reputation as a musician would have a substantial and enduring foundation, and Barnabee, Karl and McDonald will not be without their share of remembrance for the masterly manner in which their com: pany interpreted the work. All the old fa~ vorites were heartily welcomed by the im- mense audience and they performed their parts with their accustomed skill. Barna- bee, with “the eagle eye and massive brain,” brought out alf the fun in the sheriff. McDonald sang and acted with be- coming spirit. Cowles’ rich voice was heard with pleasure, and Frothingham’s Friar Tuck was as unctuous as ever. Jes- sie Bartlett Davis is a handsome Allan-a- Dale and her voice fs as full and melodious as of old. Miss Caroline Hamilton sang and acted the part of Maid Marion to the ner- fect satisfaction of her audience, and the new tenor, Mr. Sheehan, was an agreeable surprise in the possession of a voice of much sweetness ani power and of excellent range. The chorus was effective, as it al- Ways is, and the orchestra, under the baton of Mr. Studlery, was thoroughly efficient. Academy of Music.—It has been some years since the Hanlons brought “Fan- tasma” to this city, but that it has lost none of its popularity was fully proved by its reception at the Academy of Music last night. The piece has been materially changed since it was last seen here, but the changes are improvements, particularly as to its spectacular features. Some of the scenes are really beautiful stage pic- tures and richly deserved the applause they received. The central figure in the piece is George H. Adams, probably the best clown now before the public, who furnishes any amount of fun. Miss le Irving look- ed charming as the fairy queen and made quite a hit by the introduction of some English cockney songs. Mr. Nat. D. Jones made an effective Zamaliel. Leon Nief gave some excellent baritone solos, and the specialties of Blanche Sherwood, Will A. Mack and the McDonough Brothers were all well done. Fantasma will undoubtedly — crowded houses during its engage- ment. Butler's Bijou Theater.—It has been sev- eral years since “The Pawn Ticket 210” has been seen here, and last night a large au- dience welcomed it at Butler’s Bijou Thea- ter. Few plays before the public have such a hold upon the popular taste as this one. Throughout the entire performance there are dramatic surprises coupled with thrill- ing situations of which an audience never tires. The company which presented the play last night was one of marked ability, and-every attention has been paid by the management to the production. Miss Amie Lee as the Pledge proved herself the mis- tress of the difficult role, and made a favor- able impression. Mr. Frank Doane did some clever specialities in connection with his good acting, which won for him many friends. Mr. P. Aug. Anderson gave a splendid exhibition of character acting. Again tonight. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—In the va- riety world there are few stars with great- er personal attractions and magnetism than May Howard. Miss Iloward has served a long prenticeship on the vaudeville stage, and is thoroughly capable in any role. At the heid of a company last night at Ker- nan’s Theater she added new laurels to her reputation. The company which supports* her is first-class in every respect. There is a score of pretty and shapely maidens in the company who contribute materially to the success of the buriesque. Frank Bell contributes a stump speech that is laugh- able. Then there is Hamley and Jarvis, Jane Daly, Conroy McFarland, the Irish Kings and Al Belinan in descriptive songs. Mile. Corverette gave an eccentric dance. The other specialties were good. Again to- night. ‘ —>——. They Both Robbed. The commandment against stealing has been violated so many times by Daniel Dy- gon that he probably does not know that there is such a commandment. Daniel has been tried and sentenced a number of times, and the police have an idea that he managed to escape arrest and prosecution fully as many times as he was prosecuted. ‘This morning he appeared in court for trial, and Judge Miller recognized him as an old acquaintance. “But I ain't been arrested for a long time for stealing,” said Dan. “How long has it been?” the court in- quired. “More than 2 year,” was Dan’s answer. “The last time I was here I was arrested for fighting.” This time Dan figured in a flim-flam busi- ness operation in making the purchase and sale of some eggs. He will not violate the law again for sixty days. William Stewart was hungry last night, and in endeavoring to satisfy his appetite he got in trouble. He will now have no difficulty in getting two meals a day, with- out working for them. William, who is a young colored man, went into RobMhson's cook shop last night and helped himself to a plate of cold oyster fritters. Some of them he put in his pocket, while other he ate. Then he treated some friends and a policeman named Knuffer arrested him. “How do you know he stole the fritters?” Robinson was asked. “I saw him put his hand fn the case and take them,” witness answered. “Why didn’t you stop him?” “Because I didn’t want any trouble.” Stewart was fined $10, or thirty days. ee Antique Sale. The great sale of antiques fs going on daily at Sloan's, 1407 G street northwest, at Il a.m. and 3 p.m. -Great bargains are being secured. bs CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS Regular Monthly Meeting and the Busi- ness ' Transacted. Getting Ready fer «the Boston Con- vention Next Year—Large Dele- gation. Frem-This City. The monthly business meeting of the District of Columbia Christian Endeavor Union was held in the*lecture room of the Fourth Presbyterian Church last evening. ‘The president of the union, Mr. L. A. Con- ner, jr., was in the chair, and Secretary John B. Sleman, jr., handled the records. Several hymns were sung while the me:n- bers were being seated, and then a brief prayer was offered by Mr. W. H. H. Smith. ‘The roll. of societies was called, and the minutes of the previous session read and approved. The union lookout committee rendered an interesting report through the chair- man of the committee, Mr. M. M. Shand. Mr. Marion McH. Hull reported on benalf of the missionary committee that sevecal meetings of the commitiee had been held and steps taken to insure the success of the missionary rally of November 23. Mr. John D. Morgan, chairman of the Press committee, reported that the com- mittee had been able‘te place the “En- deavorer” upon a self-supporting basis, but urged the necessity of giving the paper a _ wider circulation. Chairman Perey 8. Foster reported from the music committee that the new hymn book had been weil received. The reports from the, good citizenship and correspondence committees were re- ceived from Judge Anson 8. Taylor and Miss Lucy Jurney, the respective chair- men. Treasurer W. F. Stowell reported the union finances to be in good condition, with a comfortable balance in the treasury, and quite a number of contributions were received from local societies toward the expenses of the union. Among other recommendations, the officers of the union brought forward a provisional. program for the annual Dis- trict convention in January. The sessions of this convention will be distributed over three days, the 18th, 19th and 20th of the month, and there will be early morning prayer meetings, practical conferences up- on methods of work, and large mass meet- ings in the evenings, at which prominent speakers of national reputation are ex- pected to speak. The convention will close on Sunday evening with two simultaneous consecration meetings, held in two of the largest churches of the city, after the regular church services have been con- cluded. The committee on organization for the *96 convention reported through its sec- retary, Mr. W. F. Stowell, that progress had been made and that the committee desired a spetial meeting of the executive committee held later in the month to re- ceive the report. It was decided that this special meeting shouid be held, Wednesday evening, November 21, at 8 o'clock. Mr. Foster, on behaif of the transporta- tion committee for the next international convention to be held in Boston, in July, 1895, reported that the committee had made the journey to Lcston and secured options upon several of the best hotels in the city. Cheap ratiroad rates are promised, and it is probable that a wery large delegaticn will go from this city. At the conclusion 6f the business meet- ing, the hymn, “‘T'rae Hearted, Whole Hearted,” was sung, ‘and then for twenty minutes the meeting discussed the topic, “What does your society need most at the present time?” Manyybright and helpful suggestions were brought out in answer to questions and a most. profitable treat- nient of the subject was received. After the singing oftone verse of “Blest Be the Tie That Pinds Our Hearts in Chris- tian Love,” President Conner offered a brief prayer, and then the meeting was brought to a close with the Mizpah bene- diction.

THEY CARRIED RAZORS, Two Reckless Citizens Succeed in Get- + ting Jail Sentences. Two razor carriers came to grief in Judge Miller's court today, and their weapons were confiscated to be destroyed or thrown in the river. Noah Brooks, a colored man, who has been shaving some of the colored population of South Washington, was one of the victims. Yesterday his elbow re- fused to remain in a straightened position, and the result was that the cheap brands of “speak-easy” whisky robbed him of his senses. Then he thought he had been put on the earth to “remove” others, and he came near fulfilling his supposed mission. He left the barber shop where he was ¢m- ployed, and when he reached the street re went looking for the scalp of arfy one who came within his reach. While he did not succeed in his undertaking, he succeeded in frightening several persons, and then took refuge in a barber shop on Virginia ave- nue.” “I don’t know what I did,”’ was the pris- oner’s excuse in court. “I had been drink- ing, and have no recollection of what hap- pened.” Judge Miller questioned the witnesses and the defendant to lesrn, if possible, if the latfer had had any trouble with any of the former, but there was no evidence of pre- vious trouble. A sentence of six months was imposed. Thomas H. Evans, a young colo-sd man, was the other defendant. He had attonded a church fair Saturday night, and while there he had some trouble with another young man, Last night when he went to the fair he took his brother’s razor with him to use, should it become necessary. The trouble of Saturday night was renewed, and a young woman in the church saw him take the weapon from his pocket, but he did not use it. When Policeman Lee arrested him and took the razor from him he said: “I had it for protection.” He was sent to jail for four months.
