THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1894-TWENTY PAGES. |IKENDALL CHAPEL The Purchase of the Tabernacle Church Property. The Proposed Improvements Which WII Provide for the Enlarged Work of This Enterprise. The purchase of the church property known as the Tabernacle Church, near the corner of 9th and B streets southwest, by the representatives of the Kendall Chapel, @ branch of the Calvary Baptist Church, has been mentioned in The Star. The new owners, after certain improvements are completed, will occupy this property for church purposes. The history of the enter- prise which has thus reached what is be- leved to be an important period in its career is one full of interest. _ = In the year 1866 several of the earnest workers from Calvary Baptist Chureh or- «anized a Sunday school in the vicinity of the north end of the Long bridge. After several months of hard work and earnest, faithful teaching, the question came up as to whether the work could be continued, on account of a lack of funds. At this junc- ture of affairs the jate Amos Kendall offered to furnish the necessary funds to carry on the work, provided Calvary Bap- ust Church would furnish the workers. The church accepted the trust. A’ ‘neat chapel was built on the corner of 13 1-2 and D streets southwest, and endowed by Mr. Kendall with $5,000. This chapel was oceupled by what has since been known as Kendall Chapel Surday school. In this chapel for twenty-two years the Sunday school held its sessions. In 1883 the church came to feel that an advance step must be taken. Rev. Theron Out- water of Elizabeth, N. J., was called to take charge of the work. He began his la- bors in April of that same year. Preach- ing services were held and a regular prayer meeting established. After eight months of earnest work, on November 28, 1888, a branch church of Calvary Baptist was organized, with twenty-five members. The Sunday school was changed from af- ternoon to morning, and, while the change in the hour reduced the numbers, still the school has grown so that {t now Is nearly as large as when il was held in the after- noon, and vastly moge efficient. During the past six years the membership of the church has increased until it now numbers nearly 200. The Purchase Made. For some time past there has been a need of a better house of worship, in a more eligible location, the railroad having so encroached upon the present location as to make it unsuitable for church pur- poses. A committee was appointed from the branch church to confer with a like committee from the home church, to take into consideration the purchase of a lot in @ suitable location. - These committees having learned that the property known as the Tabernacle Church, on 9th street near B southwest, was to be sold, determined to purchase that desirable property. When this property was put up for sale Monday last the com- mittee bid it off for about the amount of the claims upon the property in the name of the Calvary Baptist Church Extension Society. The location is nearly all that could be desired. It is expected that the proposed improvements will be completed and the building will be occupied by spring or early summer. The success of this enterprise is due to the devotion and sacrifice of all the earnest workers who have wrought in this field for the past twenty-eight years. Some have taught, some have given of their means and all have aided by their prayers and sympathy. Proposed Improvements. In order to have necessary room for the large Sunday schoo’ it is the intention to build a Sunday school house 40x75 feet acros§ the end of the lot. This new addi- tion will have all the latest improvements, with modern facilities for such work. The addition will contain three floors, two of which will open into the main auditorium, which now has a seating capacity of six hundred in amphitheater style. With the proposed improvements there will be room Yor twice this number, as it is intended to have the Sunday school house a part of the church audience room whenever de- sired. The officers of Kendall Chapel are Rev. Theron Outwater, pastor; Theophilus Bray, clerk; Chas. A. Muddiman, treas- urer; Glenn T. Jones, A. P. Rider, J. E. Talbott and J. H. Grant, deaccns. ‘The business affairs of the church are in tae hands of an executive committee com- posed of Jas. H. Grant, G. T. Jones and C. A. Muddiman, who apprised the members last Wednesday at the annual meeting of this purchase and received their thanks. Appreciation was also expressed for the hearty help .nd co-operation of Calvary Baptist Church in this valuable property at so reasonable a price, the entire outlay for ground and improvements being about $16,000. a PASTORS REMEMBERED. Rev. Mr. Hill and Rev. Mr. Dyson Re- ceive a Thanksgiving Offering. ‘The stewardesses of Metropolitan Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church tendered their pas- tor, Rev. Francis H. Hill, an agreeable surprise Wednesday evening in the way of a large basket full of Thanksgiving dain- ties. About 11 o’clock they put in their appearance, led by Mrs. Maggie Scott, president ot the board, and proceeded to the dining rcom, where they deposited a practical expression of their high regard for their pastor. The presentation address was made by Mrs. Scott, to which a re- sponse was given by the pastor. A hymn was sung, after which prayer was offered. Shortly after the Unknown Club came in with several baskets full of groceries. “Unknown” at the time, they have since become known, for it proved to be the kindly expression of the following ladies: Mrs. Brooks, Harriet Thompson, Isabella Burnett, Mrs. Boyd, Rachael Whitney and Mrs. Byrd. The following compose the board of stewardesses of the church: Mrs. Maggie Scott, Lucinda Gutridge, Mary Shields, Frances Webster, . Lizzie Ham- mond, Mattie Buchanan, 'Letitla Smith, Susan Stoddard, Esther Lyons, Margaret McPherson, Mary Carroll, Kosa Brown, Elizabeth Queenanne, Mary Thomas, Sarah Buchanan, Sarah Bradley, Melvina Fletch- er, Ellen Webster, Mary ‘Thompson, Mary Breoks, Sophia Dyson, Mary Ford, Fannie Smith, Lethia Bowie, Lizzie Dyson, Char- lotte Lyons, Charity Butler. Rev. R. H. G. Dyson, D. D., of Galbraith A.M. E. Zion Church, who has been quite sick for several months past, but who is now much better, received a very sabstan- tial token of his people's regard last Wed- nesday evening. The stewardesses of his church sent to his residence, D street southwest, a barrel filled with grocer! Accompanying the gift was a letter pressing sympathy for him in his afflic- tions and wishes for his speely recovery. The following ladies constitute the board of stewardesses: A. V. Shorter, president; M. A. Tapscett, vice president; M. Shorter, G. Bowie, B, Smith, M. Beckett, A. Fisher, M. Liggons, secretary. Auxiliary, A. Beck~ ett, G. Beckett, C. Neal, J. Wilson, S. Budd, Wm.

Albaugh’s.—Miss Nethersole, the English actress, under the management of Marcus R. Mayer, will make her first appearance on Monday evening, December 3. She is certainly one of the greatest artists who has ever appeared in America, Taken al- together, this actress has caused more dis- cussion than is usually accorded an artist, and the fact remains the same that as a beautiful woman, who has youth, culture and the finest artistic perception, Miss Nethersole stands by herself. Of course, it goes without saying that Miss Nethersole, who is young and of a lithe and exquisite figure, shows off the dressmaker’s art to perfection; at any rate, she presents her characters artistically dressed, both from an intellectual and a sartorial point of view. The repertoire of the week will be: Monday and Tuesday, ‘‘Camille;” Wedne: day and Thursday, “Romeo and Julle Friday and Saturday, ‘The Transgressor Saturday matinee, “Camille.” Miss Nether- sole essayed the role of “Juliet” for the first time on any stage last week, in Philadel- phia, and created great enthusiasm in that character. “Jack the Giant Killer.”—The production of “Jack the Giant Killer” at Alpaugh’s yesterday afternoor was a most delightful occasion, serving to exploit one of Wash- ington’s talented young men, and to dis- play the abilities of a numo>r of clever lit- tle people. It is a children’s (pera in the sense of its being adapted to the capacities of little folk, but that do2s not prevent the display of originality and skill by the au- thors. The audience found the entertain- ment eminently enjoyable, and expressed its approval with an enthusiasm which en- titled every one of the youthful performers to congratulations. The opera is by Mr. Harry Wheaton Howard, and the produc- tion was under the auspices of the Legion of Loyal Women. Some of the little play- ers have been seen before in operatic per- formances, and “Jack the Giant Killer” went with the smoothness which was note- worthy in their previous efforts. Numeri- cally, the company is one which might do for grand opera, and the pleasing rhythms of the score were interpreted ‘vith a spirit and enthusiasm which delighted the dis- interested beholder, and which sent a thrill of just pride through the bosoms of the friends of the miniature Adelina Pattis and De Resker who filled the stage. Not only were the singing and acting acceptable, but the dancing and the Amazon drill were graceful and ingenious. ‘The old fairy story takes a musical setting very prettily, Mr. Howard's work, as given with complete ac- cessories, fully realizing the promise which it gave as tried. without them some time since. The cast included Burton Garrett as Jack the Giant Killer; Henry Talimadge as the King, Marie Howe as the Queen, Miss Clara Moran as the youngest princess. The march of the Amazons was led by Miss Edith Stowell. Miss Miriam Stoddart gave an Amazon dance. A ballet divertisement by Daisy Gibbs, Pauline Bliss, Helen Dur- nin, Mabel Owen and Lizzie Rudd was @ charmirg special feature. The part of the Giant was taken by Mr. Eugene Davis, who has contributed much to the success of these entertainments by his acting and stage management. Mr. H. P. Hoover was an eflicient pianist. Mr. Sheridan Ferree is entitled to credit for drilling the Ama- zons. Prof. Vermilya arranged the dances and the entire stage direction was under the charge of Mr. Percy Winter. New National Theater.—Miss Della Fox and her comic opera company will appear at the New National Theater in “The Lit- tle Trooper” next week. Academy of Music.—The attraction at the Academy of Music next week will be Lew Deckstader’s minstrels. Butler's Bijou Theater.—Monday even- ing next at Butler's New Bijou Theater will witness the first production in this city of “The Life Guard,” a new Ameri- can melodrama, in four acts, by E. A. Locke, auther of “Nobody's Claim,” &c. The occasion will not only be interesting from the point that it is the first perform- ance of this piece in this city, but will also introduce Joseph J. Dowling and Miss Myra L. Davis in entirely new roles. The scenery is new and magnificent, and com- prises a fishing village on Long Island, the reception room of the fashionable Apollo Club of New York city, Nicolin’s dive on the Bowery and the Robin's Keet light house. A number of new and original specialties will be introduced during the action of the piece. Kernan's Lyceum Theater.—Reilly and Wood's Big Show will be the attraction at Kernan's Theater next week. This season, in addition to a mammoth olio, Manager Pat. Retlly introduces the satirical spect.c- ular extravaganza, entitled “Hades-Up-to- Date.”” The olio is a bright particular fea- ture and includes many prominent artists, among whom are Allen and West, the musical eccentrics; the Fergusons, singers and punsters; the SaVans, champion man and woman equilibrists of the world; Perry and Tenbrook, dialect comedians; Misses Laurel and Harvey, vocalists and dancers ller, Buck and Randall, the acrobatic peers; Miles. Perry and Devere, the fa- mous fin de siecle dancers; Miles. Arm- strong and Delmorein, eensational French eccentriques, and Mile. Le Petite Egypt, in her marvelous Algerian dance, which is said to rival the famous Midway dances. There will be matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The Boston Symphony Orchestra.—No organization coming to Washington e¢n- joys the same popularity as the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Its firm hold upoa the affections of the Washington musical public is the result of years of pleasant periodic association and the gradual im- provement of the orchestra has been the cause of its increasing pcpularity. The orchestra has improved until now it is probably as nearly perfect as it can be. At any rate it is the testimony of those most competent to judge that it is the best body of musicians in the world, no similar organization in Europe being at all equal to it. The second concert this season will take place at Metzerott's Music Hall, and in addition to tne splendid work that may be expected of the orchestra there will be an opportunity to hear for the first time in this city Mr. Caesar Thom- son, the great Belgian violinist, who has been so highly praised for his work in New York. A few seats may still be had at Metzerott's. Ovide Musin Concert Company.—Ovide Musin, the famous violinist, who comes here with his concert company on the Lith of December, was the pioneer of the Bel- gian violinists in America. Ysaye and Thomson, who have been creating such a stir in New York musical circles in the last two weeks, are Belgians, They visit this country for the first and possibly for the lest time. But Mr. Musin is to all in- tents and purposes now an American, hav- ing made this country his home for many years. He has a host of friends, and he is especially popular in the south. In his sup- port this year are the people who were with bim last season, and who were so favorably received then. They are Annie Louise Musin, a scprano of remarkable range (from G below the staff to G above high C); Bessie Bonsall, an operatic con- tralto, who has a pretty face as well as a sweet, rich voice; Frederic W. Elliott, a sweet-voiced tenor, and Eduard Scharf, the musical director of the company, who is a pianist of more than ordinary merit. Mr. Musin’s programs are always well selected and invariably well rendered. There have been many inquiries for the seats, which go on sale next Monday at Metzerott’'s. Walter Damrosch’s Lecture.—Since Wal- ter Damrosch was last in Washington he has blossomed out as a composer. He has been at work all summer on an opera written around Hawthorne's “Scarlet Let ter.” Some of the best numbers of this opera are to be given by the New York Symphony Soclety in New York this win- ter. Mr. Damrosch is a man of remark- able versatility. He is the conductor of the Symphony Society, the Symphony Orches- tra and the Oratorio Society of New York; he is a composer, and, if reports from other cities are to be believed, he is a very interesting lecturer. The subject which he has chosen for his debut before a Wash- ington audience as a lecturer is “Wagner and the Musical Motives of His Musical Dram: In this lecture Mr. Damrosch proposes to explain for popular comprehen- sion the scheme of Wagner's peculiar mu- sic. The subject is one which might be a little heavy for an average audience if Mr. Damrosch dtd not lighten it with his brilliant piano playing. The entertainment ot next Wednesday night, therefore, will be no leas a piano recital by Mr. Dam- rosch than a lecture. As Mr. Damrosch is a tine pianist, the entertainment should be most agreeable. Lecture on Occultism.—The Hindu philos- opher, Mr. Virchand R. Gandhi, B. A., of Bomb: India, will give a preliminary lecttre om occultism in India this evening, 8 e’clock, at the home of Mrs. Colby, 10th street northwest. All who are inter- ested are invited. A class will be organized after the lecture. The Moody Choir Concert.—Everything is in readiness for the grand sacred concert by the big Moody and Sankey choir on next Wednesday evening in the Conven- tion Music Hall. There was a full re- hearsal last night in the E Street Baptist Church, and the sentiment was general that the choir is in splendid condition, and will give a good account of itself ‘next Wednesday. Director Foster will put on the finishing touches at the final rehearsal on Monday evening. It is the purpose of this organization to stimulate an interest in gospel singing, ard for this reason prominence will be given to this class of music on the program. But the choir will also render several fine anthems, and there will be solos by Mrs Thomas C. Noyes, soprano; Elphonzo Youngs, jr., cornetiat; Dr. F. J. Woodman, baritone. The accom- paniments will be furnished by a grand piano, a large organ and the Moody choir orchestra. The sale of seats is now in progress at Sanders &. Stayman's music store, 934 F street northwest. As the en- tire proceeds of the concert are to be de- voted to charitable purposes, there will no doubt be a large audience. The “C. C." Course.—The “C. C.” Course of authors’ reading ha& become so well es- tablished and is looked upon with such favor by the Washington public that any extended notice of the elegant repast that is to be served the patrons of this course this season seems «imost unnecessary. Never in the history of this popular series hag such an array of really eminent talent beens grouped in one.-series of entertain- ments. The names of Gen. Lew Wallace, Max O’Rell, Will Carleton and George Ken- nan are household words even beyond where the English language is known or spoken. The sale of tickets promises to be large, the price being but $2.50 for a re- served seat for the five entertainments. Only a few days more that “course tickets” can be secured, as the course opens with Geo. Kennan December 10. Tickets at Metzerott's. Dean Hole.—On Monday evening next the Dean of Rochéster Cathedral will lecture on “Society in England” at Metzerott Hall. He comes here from the west, where he has had large and enthusiastic audiences, and the press speak in the highest terms of his lectures. His wit and wisdom, united with his rare good humor, make him a favorite on the rostrum and in the social circle. He doubtless will be received here by @ large audience.

N. eee Sons of the Revolution, The Sons of the Revolution Society of the District of Columbia will hold their annual meeting at Wormley’s Hotel on Monday evening next, December 3, 1894, at 8 o'clock. During the past year the society has added to its rolls thirty-nine members. The in- terest and enthusiasm in all patriotic events and celebrations inaugurated by the society is a marked feature of its work. At a meeting held yesterday B. B. Wilson, Robt. C. Hayden and Wm. A. Meloy were elected to membership. +. An Odd Fellows’ Fatr. Columbia Lodge, No. 10, I. 0. O.
