To this end the magnificent train, “Surset Limited,” taking its name from the solar luminary Whose path across valley and plain and over hill And mountain it follows with the "peed of the wind, has been put on between New Orleans, Los Angeles and San Fran- cisco. Leaving both terminals every Thurs- @ay, on and after November 1, passing through the balmiest regions in all Amer- fea, delightful even in January, this “flee- ing city” covers gulf to coast in a trifle over two days. Every comfort of home is fourd in the luxurious vestibuled coaches, dining, sleeping and composite, which com- prise “Sunset Limited,” and the scenery along this line is unsurpassed.

The Little Workers’ entertainment for the benefit of the Home for Incurables at Linthicum Hall will keep up until 9 o'clock tonight. This branch of the King’s Daughters, better known as Mrs. Saw- yer’s circle, has done much for the cause of charity here, the zeal and soulfulness with which the members undertake a bene- fit, overriding obstacles and gathering sup- port liberally. The Home for Incurables at present is in great need of assistance, there being forty-two patients dependent upon it for food, shelter and medical at- tendance, and the treasury in a depleted condition. The annual Georgetown charity ball, on Thanksgiving night, will be also for the benefit of the Home. Lost His Sight. Mr. John J. Cook of the firm of Cook & Jarboe has lost all sense of sight. The total affliction began to be felt about one week ago. Prior to that time one eye had caused him serious iticonvenience at intervals, through its defective condition, but it never occasioned him serious alarm, Mr. Cook ts not otherwise physically disabled, his health being fairly good. Suicide’s Body. The body of Nora Jennings, who took “Rough-on-rats,” dying from the effects, was brought to the station yesterday to await the action of the coroner. The woman's act was deliberate and is supposed to have resulted through a quarrel with Sam Walker, to whom, it is said, she was engeged. Nora bought the poison at the pharmacy, corner 2ith and P streets, ask- ing at the time for directions as to the manner in which it should be applied to use. She intimated that she wanted it to kill household pests. She left a note re- questing that her body be sent to Martins- burg, W. Va., for interment. Notes. At a regular meeting of Independent Lodge, I. O. G. last night, it was de- cided to participate in a ‘bus party to Falls Church at an early date.

Mr. John Sullivan's $50 skye terrier, that had been chained in the lott of his stable, wandered last night through the open trap door in the floor and this morning he was found a dangling corpse. The accidental stringing down took place at the corner of 35th and O streets. On the night before Thanksgiving the congregation of the M. E.

Té the Editor of The Evening Star: I have read the strictures in your edi- torial in this evening's paper (14th Noy.) on the action of the board of trade in re- fusing to approve the movement to ex tend the civil service rules to the Distr! offices. Being a member of the body and in en- tire sympathy with it in its dissent, m- deed, having assisted with my own vote to table the resolution, I cannot forbear a protest against the attitude The Star has taken. . Your article is mainly devoted to a criti- cism of Dr. Fardon’s utterances. These I shall not discuss. I hope and believe that the majority voted, as I did, in accord- ance With the views expressed by Mr. Wilson. I intended to advance the same objections that he did, but he so promptly and so much more ably argued the point that I am extremely pleased he took that stand. After his brief but convincing re- marks it seemed unnecessary to carry the discussion further. ‘The board of trade is in no sense a po- litical organization and cannot properly in- dorse any movement, however worthy, of that nature. It is organized for “the con- sideration of, and action upon, matters concerning the commerce, prosperity and advancement of the material interests of the national capital,” but not its political management. It cannot and must not in- terfere with political questions. As indi- viduals we may have-such opinions as may seem best to us; as a body we should re- main more than neutral. As Mr. Wilson truly said, if we should once pass upon a political question, there is no saying where it would end. Fancy the board of trade compromising its dignity by indorsing the candidacy of an applicant for office. I am not endeavoring to antagonize the movement. I am, simply and pureiy, vindi- cating the board from the refiections cast by your article. ‘phe so-called “feeble-voiced opposition” were strong enough to reject the measure, and should it or any other similar matter ever be revived, I, for one, shall be ready to “follow such leadership” as will result in_consigning-it to a like fate. Very respectfully, CHAS. N. WAKE. —_ Who is Being Persecuted? To the Féitor of The Evening Star: In the humble-judgment of at least one of its readers and admirers, The Star can- not at the present time do a better work for the community it so ably guards than to see that justice is done, if possible, in the fight which has begun but is proba- bly not near its end between those who are disposed to enforce the laws of the District against illegal liquor selling end its companion vices and those who are de- termined that such laws shall not be cn- forced, in order that they may continue to fatten on the ignorant and vicious, or, as there is reason to fear, in the case of some of those who are charged with the enforcement of the law, that their un- faithfulness may not be disclosed to an in- dignant public. in the case of Sol. Green before Judge Kimball, reported in last night's Star, it seems to me that the apparent persecution is of the prisoner sentenced to ninety days in the workhouse on the testimony of four prostitutes, and not of these prostitutes by Green's alleged demand of 10 cents or a drink as “blackmail;” and if it has come to pass that because a man aids the gov- ernment in detecting and punishing vice he is to be thrown into prison on such testimony, we have fallen on evil times. It is to be hoped, however, that although the violators of the law and their abet- tors may succeed for a season, even here in Washington, it {s only ‘that they may be utterly overthrown as in our sister city by the Hudson.

Herrmann is without a rival in his line of entertainment, and those who like to be made to believe what they see is impossible, and to have their sense of sight contradict their common sense,will find an evening spent under the magic in- fluence of the conjurer’s wand a very pleasant one. The chief illusion of Herr- mann’s repertoire this season is his latest sensation, which he has named “Noah's Ark, or After the Flood.” Another new illusion, which is also entirely different from anything Herrmann has ever invented. is entitled the “Artist's Dream,” which is taken from life. Mme. Herrmann will in- troduce a series of beautiful spectacular dance creations which will prove a pleas- ing interpolation of mystifying tricks and illusions. Mme. Herrmann has just re- ceived from Worth of Paris some special hand-painted costumes, made from her own designs for these dances, which promise to eclipse anything ever presented to the Washington public. - Olga Nethersole, the great English act- tress, who has made such a pronounced hit in New York and Philadelphia, will appear at Albaugh’s the first week in December, and then the Washington public will have an opportunity of passing judgment on her work. It is probable that she will be seen in “Camille,” which has been her greatest success. National.—Not since the old organiza- tion known as the Boston Ideals, with Ad@laide Phillips in the title role, sang the opera at what was then Ford's Opera House, but what is now known as Butler's Bijou, has “Fatinitza’ been given such a satisfactory presentation as ‘was that by the Bostonians at the National ‘Theater last night. The audience fully appreciated the excellent work of cast, chorus and or- chestra, and applause was liberally lavish- ed, while encores were numerous. There were two in last night's cast who were in the former one referred to—Messrs. Barna- bee and Frothingham. Jessie Bartlett Davis is a worthy successor of Adelaide Phillips so far as vocal equipment is con- cerned, while she is superior as an actress and has personal graces and charms that the great contralto never possessed. She appeared to excellent advantage in the dual role of Lieut. Vladimir and Fatinitza, and sang and acted in every respect satisfac- torily. Miss Caroline Hamilton's ability as a singer was better tested by Von Suppe’s score than in any role she had done dur- ing the wees, and she fully met all the re- quirements. Mr. MacDonald acced the part of Julian Hardy with spirit, put he was handicapped in his singing by a severe cold, which clouded his ordinarily fine“ voice. Cowles was sufficiently fiery and sevage «s Kantchukoff, and sang th? music of the role excellently. Bardabee'’s Ivzett Pasha was as artistic, both in singing and in the refinement of its comely, as it was m the old days, and George Frothingham mad_ all there was out of the part of the Ser- geant. It 1s to be regretted that this ex- cellent performance cannot be repeated. Joseph Jefferson.—Next week Mr. Joseph Jefferson will appear at the Nattonal T ter, presenting “Rip Van Winkle” on Monday, Tuesdi Wednesday and Thurs- day evenings, and at the Saturday matinee, and on Friday ard Saturday evenings a double bill, ting of the “Cricket on the Hearth” end Me Five Shillings.” Kate Claxton and Jananschek will be seen at t Academy of Music next week in a revival of “The Two Orphans.” Butler's w Réjou Theater.—The Faust and Thorne Company of players will pre- Sent the metropolitan dramatic success of Jno.A.Stevens, “Wife for Wife,” at Butler's Bijou Theater next week. The play will be presented with an excellent cast. Will- jam Nichols, late of the Rhea Company; Sophie Thorne, a clever and popular char- acter actress; Miss Virginia Bray, who for years has been with representative companies; Chas. ©. Bowen, an actor of abuity; Louis Thiel, Henry Hughes und others make up a good company. The plot is laid in New Orleans in the ante-bellum 's, and deals with southern life entirely. = the action of the play numerous «ities will be introduced. _Adeq 1ate scenery is carried and many new and novel effects which are entirely foreign to stage mechanism will also be seen. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—In the days of poor performance and trashy enter- tainment given py the so-called artists of the vaudeville type it ts at once consoling and refreshing to announce the advent of the most complete and refined vaudeville entertainment in America, known as the Hopkins ‘Trans-Oceanic ‘Star Specialty Company, at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week. The company this season will se the following European and Melville and Stetson, rica’s representative duo, In conjunc: with Fulgora, the world’s greatest transfigurator. These two acts alone com- mand more salary than an ordinary vaude- ville company combined. Then come in rapid succession the Donazetta Trio, Eng- lard’s marvelous acrobats; Prof. DeHersell, a funny modeler in clay; Smith and Fuller, musical artists; Fisher and Crowell, George Graham, Master Willie Russell, McBride and Flynn, Bartlett and May and others. Dean Hole.—The Very Rev. 8. Reynolds Hole, D.D., dean of Rochester Cathedcal, England, will lecture at Metzerott Music Hall on the evening of Monday, Decem- ber 3. His subject will be “Society in Eng- ena The dean ts described as being cne qT the first speakers in England. ‘he C. C, Course.—The sale of seats for the “C. C.” course is in progress at Metzer- ott’s, and, judging from the subscriptions, the great popularity of the “C. C.” enter- tainments has not diminished. ‘Tho list of talent this year is an unusually fine one, and is perhaps the best that this manage. ment has ever presented. Patrons of the course are afforded the opportunity of hearing such men as George Kennan, Lew Wallace, Max O’Rell and Will Carleton at a cost of 50 cents each, which includes a reserved seat in any portion of the house. Alexander Black is also on the list, end will present hig picture play, “Miss Jerry,” for the first time in Washington. Willard Hall.—An opportunity to coatrib- ute to a fund for a very worthy object will be presented next week, as a luncheon will be given by the Southern Relief Soctety at Willard Hall. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, from 12 to 4 o'clock, a delight- ful and Varied bill of fare wili be served by the ladies. The price will be moderate, as a substantial lunch can be obtained for twenty-five cents. The Maud Powell String Quartet.—An event of interest in musical circles us well as to the music-loving public generally will be the concert which will be given on Wednesday evenipg at Metzerott Hall by the Maud Powell String Quartet Company. Miss Powell, who is a former resident, is well known in this city, where she has de- lighted large audiences by her skill in the use of the violin. Associated with Miss Powell will be Josef Kovark, second violin: Frank P. Kaltenborn, viola, and Paui Miersch, violoncello. Miss Powell will play the first violin in the quartet. Several so- prano solos will be rendered by Mrs. Katherine Wadsworth. Nina Bertini-Humphrys—On Tuesday evening next, at Metzerott’s Hall, Nina Bertini-Humphrys will appear in concert, assisted by Miss Hettle Bradley, soprano: Mrs. Minnie-Bell Irving, contralto; Mr. Charles Stuart Phelps, tenor; Mr. Freder- ick Reddall, bass; Miss Avice Boxall, harp- ist; Mr. Emanuel Wad, pianist. Nina Bor- tini-Humphrys has appeared in opera in this city, and her return will be welcomed by a large number of admirers. Miss Ellen Vockey will give a dramatic recital at Metzerott Hall next Friday even- ing. Miss Vockey has made quite a repu- tation as an emotional actress and reader, and will be heard with pleasure. She will give scenes from comedies and tragedies to show the wide range of her powers. She will be assisted by Miss Anita Cluss, whose skill as a harpist is well known, and by other musical talent. —_>__ New “Hotel Chattawka” is now open at Newbern, N. C.

Justice Harlan’s Address Before the Church of t Covenant Men’s Society, An extremely interesting and entertain- ing talk on the Bering sea question was given last evening by Mr. Justice Harlan at the meeting of tite Men’s Society of the Church of the Covenant, which was held in the chapel of the church. It was the first meeting of the fall of this society, which is composed exclusively of men who are connected with the congregation of the church, and-there-was a large attendance not only of the members, but of a number of prominent men who came as invited FROM THE MOMENT OF BIRTH USB CUTICURA BOAP, It is not only the purest, sweetest and most re- guests. A brief business meeting was held, in one of the upper rooms, presided over by the president of the society, Mr. Wm. E. Curtis. At the close the members joined their guests in the chapel. The speaker of the evening was intro- duced by President Curtis with a few pleasant prefatory rem: A large map which was suspended from the wall at the back of the platform showed the location of the seal islands and their relations to the land which surrounds Bering sea. At the outset Mr. Justice: Harlan, who, as is well known, was one of the arbitrators representing the United States in the re- cent Bering sea commission, gave a con- cise history of the jurisdiction exercised over the islands by Rusrla and thelr ac- quiaition by the United States. His. ac- ccunt of the habits @f the seal was not only entertaining, but was replete with valuable information, He outlined the arguments supporting the contention of the American arbitrators that the seals were property. This conten- tion, the speaker regretted to say, was not supported by a majority of the commis- sion. The speaker aluo thought it was a mistake that pelagic sealing was not en- tirely prohibited, us the American arbitra- tors desired. He thought, however, that under the circumstances this country had gained much tn securing a closed season and an area about the seal islands where sealers could not pursue their avocation. The Year's Catch. He said that he had seen in the papers statements to the effect that the catch of the sealers was greater this year than last year. He did not believe, if this fact was as stated, that the seals were taken from the herd belonging to the Bering sea isl- ands, but were probably from the herd t! has its headquarters off the Japanese coast. He referred to the feeling in the air at Paris that the people of the United States were not deeply interested in their rights in the Bering sea, which he attributed largely to statements in some American newspapers. On the other hand. the Brit- ish arbitrators had the undivided support of the people and the press of England. He spoke of the appointment of the tri- bunal as a great step in advance and as an indication that the twe great English- speaking raticns were willing to submit their interests by an appeal to reason rath- er than to force. The great interest which was manifested by the avdience in the address by Justice Harlan was indicated in some degree by the hearty applause. There was a tenor sclo by the precentor o: the church, Mr. Pearman, and then those present were In- vited to partake of refreshments. Capt. G. J. Fiebeger, who is chairman cf the social committee having charge-of the arrange- ments for these meetings, was. to the re- gret of ail, unsble.to be present, owing to 4 recent death in his family. Among those present were Assistant Secretary Hamlin, Mr. Eckels, the controller of the currency; Col. John M. Wilson and Gen. Flagler. —— Good Music and «a Good Time at the Pure Food Show.
