A feature of the entertainment was the in- itfal production of two new plays—‘In- trigue” and “Nettles.” The former ts an old English comedy in one act, replete with clever and startling situations and bright and racy dialogue. It was in the competent hands of Messrs. J. B. Miller, Robert Lowe and Guy V. Collins and Mi: Helen Prentiss Donahue, the Students’ mew and valuable acquisition, and scored an instantaneous success. “Nettles” is a two-part sketch, abounding In action, and was ably produced by Mr. T. O. Pulizzi and his sister, Miss Blanche Pullzzi, who did such clever work last season. “April Fools,” last season's greatest success, was again produced, with the same competent cest, N. Weill, Jas. Keliher and Guy V. Collins, and created hearty laughs. The program was interspersed with individual numbers. Mr. R. C. Balinger in his gems of modern darkeyism; Miss Mary Dashiell in a piano solo of merit, Miss Donahue, with her song, “The Funny Little Feilow With a High, High Hat,” accompanied by Miss Donahue, and Mr. Balinger with a tenor solo, “The Two Grenadiers.” Be- sides the old veterans General Stoncey and other army officers were interested spec- tators and a large umber trom Brookland, Eckington and the surrounding suburbs ‘were present. => A Great Quantity of Furniture to Be Sold at Auction.

LARGER ENDOWMENT FUND NEEDED Closing Session of the Important Convention Yesterday. NEW COMMITTEE THE ‘The convention of the Columbia Baptist Association came to an end with the final session yesterday, and the last day, taken all in all, was the most interesting and important of the three. The morning ses- sion was given up to the consideration of the temperance question, the afternoon to education and the evening to the same. A new executive board was elected, and it was decided to hold the next convention at Queenstown Church, Brookland, with Rey. Dr. 8S. H. Green to preach the annual sermon, Kev. W. 8. O. Thomas being the alternate. It was also decided to hold a semi-annual meeting during the third week of next April. The most important business of the after- noon session was the discussion on th subject of Baptist educational facilities, a discussion that was started by the reading of the report of the committee on educa- on presented by its chairman, Mr. A. J. Huntington. After dealing with the work and the needs of Wayland Seminary the report took up the Columbian University as the one essentially Baptist institution of high standing in the city and set forth its claims upon the people of that denomi- nation here. ‘The suggestion to raise a sum of money to be used as an addition to the endowmeat fund was received with favor. Rev. Dr. Elhs of Baltimore, ex- Pressed the opinion that if the Baptists of Washington would raise $100,000 this sum would be doubled by other Washing- tonians, and that the ball started rolling in this way would increase in a most satisfac- tory manner. Rev. Dr. 8S. H. Green, who is now at the head of the university, spoke at some length of its methods, circum- stances and needs. Addresses were also made by Dr. C. A. Stakely, Dr. J. M. Gregory, Dr. Ellis and Rev. H. T. Steven- son, all urging an increase in the endow- ment of the institution and in the number of students in attendance. Larger Endowment. ‘The report took up at some length the several courses of study in the prepara- tory and collegiate departments, and then went on as follows: “There is a most obvious duty devolving upon thi: association at this crisis in re- gard to the university. There is, perhaps, not another college in the United States with so large a number of professors and students, and yet with so small an endow- ment, amounting to only about $250,000. No college can for so long a time prosper without large financial support, indepen- dent of tuition fees. These fees, in order to provide indigent students as well as rich with tne means of education, must be kept low, but in order to secure the ablest professgrs the salaries must be high.” In conclusion, the report said: “Shall we not Show our determination to use the ed- ucational position we now occupy at the national capital for the purpose of raising the standard of intellectual, moral and re- gious culture? Or shall we show our- selves incapable of appreciating the oppor- tunity now offered and recreant to our in- terests and the cause of truth? Shall we surrender to others a place we are worthy to hold and a work we have not faith enough and courage enough to perform?” New Executive Board. During the session the new executive board was announced as follows: Anacostia, Rolvix Harlan and G. T. Kel- lum; Calvary, Rev. S. H. Greene, Fev. Theron Outwater, D. 8. Foster, A. L.Swart- wout, L.

At the closing session last evening devo- tional exercises were conducted by Mr. H. T. Proctor, and then the subject of young reeple’s work was discussed in two-min- ute speeches by the following Sunday school superintendents: Messrs. Charles B. Burr, P. H. Bristow, C. N. Richards, D. C. Fountain, Ford, W. L. Spelden, Lar- combe, Glent Jones, Edward Warren, C..R. Lynch and R. M. Henderson. Mr.’ Percy Foster led the congregation in a. gospel hymn, and Rev. Dr. Ellis of Baltimore de- livered the annual address on “Young Peo- ple’s Work.” Mr. Miles M. Shand con- ducted a fifteen-minute consecration serv- ice, and the seventeenth annual meeting closed after an address by the moderator, the singing of “Blest Be the Tie That Binds” and the bencdiction. —> After the Expectorators. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Your paper has been the avenue through which so many reforms have been accom- plished that I beg you in the name of suf- fering gentility to champion one more cause, beside which that of the theater hat is as nothing. Any one who frequents our street cars must have noticed the revolting condition of the floors—fairly deluged with spit. One cannot conceive of a gentleman being gullty of so disgusting a practice, but should not a rule be made and enforced by which the public, and especially ladies, whose skirts must’ necessarily come-in con- tact with this filth, be protected from the habit of men who have so little conception of decency as to be gullty of any act so abominabie? I have traveled through France, Germany and England, and in none of these places is such a condition of affairs tolerated. A conductor would promptly eject one who would be guilty of such a nuisance, and so it should be here. One must sit in a very awkward position, with her skirts raised, or else feel that she ie gathering up that which makes her shudder to think A. PLS. pains ees National Geographic Society. The regular weekly meeting of the Na- tional Geographic Society will be held in Armory Hall, 92) G street, tonight at 8 o'clock. Dr. Emil Holub, the eminent Afri; can explorer, will deliver the lecture of the evening, entitled “From Capetown Into the Countries of the Ma-shukulumbe,” a narrative of Dr. and Mrs. Holub's explor- ing trip Into northern South Africa and southern Central Africa. ‘This lecture wiil probably be one of the most interesting of the ertire course. Dr. Holub has been en- gaged in African exploration work almost continuously for the past twenty years. He has written several books on the sub- ject, and has received from various fo! eign powers and scientific societies degrees and honors in recognition of his work. What ts probably one of the finest natural history and ethnographic collections ever brought from Africa is now in the posses- sicn of the Royal Museum of Vienna, it having been presented to that institution Dr. Holub. Admission to the lectures of this society is by ticket only, obtained through members. AMUSEMENTS. — The Philharmonic Club.—The second gon- tert of the Philharmonic Club was given at Metzerott Hall last evening, and so far as musical enjoyment went it was far superior to the one held last month. The club itself was heard to excellent ad- vantage in a Beethoven trio and one by Chabrier, while all the members appeared in solo nymbers. In their order upon the program Mr. Lent proved his mastery of the ‘cello by his playing of a romance by Huber and an allegretto movement by Kiel; Mr. Rakemann showed his remark- able technique as a violinist in a Caprice by Ovide Musin, and Mrs. Lent was heard with great satisfaction in a group of piano compositions, consisting of Liszt's “Love Dream,” Straus-Gruenfeld's “Persian March,” and Chaminade's “La Lisonjera.” Both Mr. Rakemanm-and Mrs. Lent were obliged to respond to encores, he giving a Beethoven Romance in F major with ex- lent expression, and the latter repeating ‘La Lisonjera.” Each member of the clud fully maintained the high reputation el- ready acquired, while the ensemble play- ing was characteristically artistic: The as- sistants of the club were Mr. Anton f'chott and Miss Dora Valesca Becker. Mr. Schott was in excellent voice, and he has never sung here with more spirit. He had three numbers on the program, the first consist- ing of a Scotch ballad, ‘Tom, the Rhyme: and a descriptive song, “Archibald Doug- las," by Carl Loewe, the second being Wag- ner’s “Graal-Erzaehlung,” from ‘Lonen- grin,” and the Love song from “Valkyrie,” and the last two songs by Peter Cornelius “Komm, Wir Wanderter Zusammer” and “Ein Ton,” and Schumann's “Two Grena- diers.” After the Wagner number the ap- plause was so great that he was obliged to return, and he continued the spirit of the moment by singing “By Silent Heart,” from “Die Meistersinger.” His concluding song, “The Two Grenadiers,” was siven in such a spirited manner that, although it was the last thing on a long program, the audience tried to have him repeat it. Miss Becker proved herself a violinist of what might be called the romantic school, and played with artistic finish and expression. Her first number was a suite by Ries, and her second included Wieniawski's ‘“Leg- ende” and Sarasate’s “Gipsy Melodies,” this eliciting an emphatic encore, to which she responded with a Mazurka by Wien- jawski. Mr. Lent performed the difficult task of accompanist in the most satisfac- tory manner. ‘The concert as a whole was one of the mbst interesting and enjoyable that the club has given. Ellen Vockey.—Tonight, at Metzerott Hall, Miss Ellen Vockey will give a dra- matic recital that will prove of unusual in- terest. She will recite the great race poem, “How Salvador Won,” for which she has received high praise in New York and other cities; the forest and court scenes from “As Ycu Like It" the letter scene from “Macbeth,” the curse scene from “Leah,” and Conversations after Marriage from the “School for Scandal.” Miss Vockey will be assisted by Prof. Myer, pianist; the Columbian Zither Club, and Miss Anita Cluss, harp virtuoso. Prof. and Mrs. Baldwin.—A company headed by Prof. and Mrs. Baldwin, who are said to be extremely clever people, will appear at Metzerott Hall on Monday night next. They give a unique and varied en- tertainment that has met with great suc- cess both in Europe and in this country. The psychic entertainment is said to be weird and fascinating; Mr. Baldwin being known as the only white Mahatma. Their assistants are said to be people of ability and artistic merit. Oxford Students’ Life.—“Oxford Student Life” will be the subject of a lecture by Rev. Geo. F. Dudley, rector of St. Ste- phen’s Church, Mt. Pleasant, with stereop- ticon views, on Monday ovening, November 26,at 8o'clock,at the Congregational Church, Howard ayenue, Mt. Pleasant. Much in- terest is being shown by friends of Mr? Dudley outside of his own parish in his efforts to encourage his parishioners in their work to raise money for the church building fund. Marie Decca’s Concert.—Marie Decca, the lyric soprano, who is new filling an’ en- gagement of sixty concerts with the Marie Decea Grand Concert Company, under the management of the Redpath lyceum bu- reau, will appear at Metzerott Music Hall on Tuesday evening, December 11. This city, her home for several years, will prob- ably give her a cordial welcome. The Decca company is now in the west, where they nave met with phenomenal success. Other members of the company are Mrs. Clara Murray, harpist; Mr. Charles D'Al- waim, violinist, and Mr. Grant Wehr, pianist, — Tobacco Juice in Street Cars. To the Editor of The Evening Star: “Patience has {ts limits,” so will you kindly assist me in my endeavor to abolish what is—to ladies, at least—a positive nul- sance, viz: this abominable chewing and expectorating of tobacco juice in the cable cars. Having had several’ dresses ruined by fellow-passengers addicted to the dirty habit, I feel that I have a right to com- plain, and to beg, in the name of cleanll- ness, that there shall be some law compell- ing men who cannot live without a mouth filled with tobacco to remain outside of the cars. Smoking is prohibited, very wisely, but smoking is to me nothing in compari- son with the sight, disgusting nolse and dirt of tobacco chewing. For the sake of health and decency, will you kindly lift your voice in favor of “no chewing and expectcrating in these car: ate greatly oblige all women, and espe- e A RESIDENT IN THE NAVY YARD? Saabs ane A Novel Entertainment. Columbia Lodge, No. 10, I. O. O. F., had @ novel entertainment last evening. The encampment room of the 7th street hall was well filled with its guests to listen to the productions of the phonograph, songs, speeches, country dances, brass bands, court proceedings, and almost the whole musical and vocal category came with life- like ‘distinctness from the large mouth of the instrument, which was furnished by the Columbia Phonograph Company. On Wednesday evening next the lodge will pay a fraternal visit to Mount Pleasant Lodge. ——— Important Change in hedule Penn- sylvania Railroad.

There was a slight increase in the num- ber of deaths last week,sas reported st Pd health department, ryt of the pre- ceding wéel i the death rate wag owing mainly ‘to the enlarged mor- tality from acute jung diseases, which exceeded by six thobe tm the last report. Diphtheria and typhoidd fever maintained a stationary status with a downward ten- dency. Deaths of children under five years of age fell off fromsthirty-five to twenty- elght, while no fatal ease of diarrhoeal diseases was reportéd. The threatened in- vasion of smallpox seems to have receded, and the fear of its spread into epidemic form to have abatéd. The patients now under isolation and medical treatment are progressing favorably. Otherwise the gen- eral health of the city is in excellent con- dition. The total deaths. were 98. a SoS Are Not Despondent. These juicy mornings, when the skies snivel, without actually weeping, are not calculated to bring joy to the hearts of the small but devoted band of men who are laboring on the post office. The winter is so close at hand that they welcome with eagerness every chance to work. So, when the morning air ts full of rain-threat, they cannot but be despondent.
