And she was more sensible by far than the majority of people who have the means and leisure to do much traveling. The in- stances are not few, but multifarious, where Americans who have traveled. extensively abroad, who, in their way (7) ‘have “done” Great Britain and the continent repeatedly if not intelligently, nevertheless, when ques- tioned by foreigners regarding different | or- tions of their native land, have evinced an ignorance as stupendous ns is their indis- cretion in thus making themselves targets AMUSEMENTS, ~ Albaugh’s.—The largest audience of the week attended Miss Nethersole's presenta- tion of “The Transgressor” at Albaugh’s last night, and notwithstanding the ad- verse criticism, the play has received from New York critics, it was-well pleased with Miss Nethersole, and to a slightly less ex- tent with the play. It is the work of Mr. A. W. Gatti, an English journalist, who, after he has written more plays, may turn out a better one, It is quite plotiess, and in the first two acts, is slow, but in the latter two Miss Nethersole is the dominat- ing influence, and that means anything but slow. The hinge of the play is the secret marriage of Eric Langley (Mr. Barrymore) to Sylvia Woodville (Miss Nethersole), when he already has a wife in a lunat asylum, who, for twenty years, has been supposed to be dead. In the first two acts Miss Nethersole is the young girl, happy in all things, save that hér hhasband does not make the marriage known or tell her why he does not. In the third act. the crazy wife becomes the knowledge of their frieuds, and then the girl develops into 'a woman wronged, but Joving, still, and Miss Nethersole puts into the varying phases of the part an intensity, of feeling which stirs an audience to Its profoutidest depths. ‘To avoid a melodramatic con- elusion the play ends unsatisfactorily, but the brilliance of ‘the star never wanes. Mr. Barrymore's Eric is better than either his Armand or Romeo,and Mr. Stew art's Henry Meredith is a forceful chara terization. Mrs. Piillips, as Sylvia's moth- er, did the comedy of the play, with much acceptability. She constantly ‘reminded for European ridicule. The great Western America, from the Mississippi and the Gulf to Pacific shores, is one vast expanse of accumulated beau- ties, as though the wealth of nature had been especiaily poured out here for those who needlessly remain oblivious to it, and there is no reason or excuse for this stupid and narrow condition of things, when it takes the earnings of but a very short time to enable any man with his family to board “Sunset Limited,” the beautiful and luxu- rious of all modern railway trains, «and fly for two or three days through the most delightfully verdant plains and lovely val- leys of earth and among noble mountain peaks that lift their heads to the stars. ‘This most gorgeous and speedy chain cf flying palaces will leave New Orleans every Thursday at § a.m., on and after November 1, during the season of 1804-'05, over the Southern Pacific Sunset Route, and puts the traveler down in Los Angeles in two and a half days or in San Francisco in only three and one-fourth days.

Mr. Al- len, manager of Albaugh's. To put this exhibition on a stage’ ¢htails much labor and expense. Twelve car loads are neces- sary to convey the show from "Baltimore, where they are now performing, to Wash- ington. The theater will be transformed into an amphitheatery:an, the stage of which will be erected a stcel-burred cage 50 feet in diameter and 27.feet, high. On the stage also the animal vans willbe placed, and these will be oonnected with the large exhibition cage by steel barred runways, through which the-animals will be taken to and from the arena. On the stage, also, the fourteen Shetland ponies, three horses and elephant will be placed in stalls built for them. The large tank for the seals will also be there, and. the small- er cages for monkeys and parrots likewise. When all is in readiness the novelty of a Noah's ark on the Aibaugh stage Will be apparent. show here Mr. Allen is compelled to tear out part of the E street wall aud build an inclined run from the street to the stage, and on this the ahfmals‘and vans will be taken into the building. Of the perform- ance itself only praise can be spoken. Over 200 animals comprise the collection. ons and tigers and other savage beasts, the beautiful ponies and funny monkeys, the horses and elephants, the seals and pigs and cockatoos, the clowns, the great brass band, all making special features to the pleasure of.the grown folks and the ever- lasting delight of the children. Two per- formances willbe: giver daily ‘after Mon- day, at 8:15 and 2:30, and judging from the demand for tickets the opening night, Mon- day, December 10, will test the capacity of Albaugh's.

Jay Gould, toys, open evenings.—Advt. ———— to Be Remodeled. About February Ist Mr. Freeborn G. | Smith, the manufacturer of the Bradbury | pianos, will completely remodel the prem- ises 1225 Pennsylvania avenue. A latest pattern electric elevater will connect the eral floors, three to be given up to | handsome display parlors, and the fourth | to their manufacturing and repair depart- ments. The floors will be laid in highly polished oak, and the walls and celiings are to be handsomely decorated and fres- coed in low relief designs. This enlarge- | ment and improvement has been found necessary owing to the increased demand | for the Bradbury at the national capital. | Rather than engage a temporary building | Mr. Smith has concluded to close out the | present stock of pianos and organs at re- | duced prices. —_——>—— Work on the New Stumph Being Pushed Rapidiy.

Jay Gould’s.—Advt. ding 1s Theater next week: - Academy of Music.—The company sent out by the Bostonians to sing “Robin Hood” and “The Knickerbockers” will be heard next week at the Academy of. Music. Butler's ijou ‘Theater.—For — stirring melodrama of the popular type “The Power of Gold,” under the management of Walter Sanford, which comes to Butler's Bijou ‘Theater next week, is an excellent example. it is not a lurid drama, but is humorous, emotional and startling, and is framework of realistic stage pic- tures. ‘The play is an.epitome of daily London life; it is the story of the constant battle for bread on the part of the poor and the greed for gold among the pros- perous and weatthy. It teaches that every back has its burden, and that neither the rich nor poor manopolize the sorrows of this world. The patient wife in her gar- ret home fs offset by the titled lady in her boudoir; the honest workman ‘by the moneyed charlatat. The scenic effects are realistic, and the piece will be presented by a good company. Kernan’s Lyceum ‘Theater.—The attrac- tion at Kernan's Lyceum “Theatér next week will be one of especial importance, as it embraces many novel features, foremost among which will be the first presentation in this city of Mlle. De Leon's original and sensational series of living _ pictures, “nature and art hand in hand.” They will be produced at an enormous expense in conjunction with the Night Owls. This organization is well known here, and on its roster this season are Several recent European importations, chief among which is Saharet, the marvelous diamantine dancer, the only woman in the world who can kick nine feet high. Others in the com- pany are McCloud and MelviHe;-the cele- brated sketch artists; Topack and Steele, eccentric character. comedians; J. K. Mul- len and Annie Dunn, the comedy duo; Odell and Page, acrobatic comedians, and the freak, Zamora, the Mexican daredevil. Sousa’s Band.—John Philip Sousa and hi peerless band will appear at Metzerott Music Hall Wednesday, December 12, when they will give two grand concerts, the at- tractions of which will surely crowd the gpacious hall to its utmost capacity. He comes with the prestige born of new laurels, gained since his last appearance here—at Manhattan Beach, at the St. Louts | exposition, and during a tour that has been | remarkable for its great successes. His | band has attained the condition of perfec- tion which has not been reached by any other similar gody, and nowhere, except in the rarest instances among the greatest orchestral bodies, has the beautiful quality of tone been so skillfully and so fascinat- ingly drawn from musical instruments as it is drawn by Sousa and his men. Assist- ing Sousa and his musicians will be Mme. Francesca Guthrie Meyer, the dramatic soprano, whose reputation has been greatly enhanced by her successes at. the great Worcest2: festival. The virtue of the Sousa programs Jies in the fact that they are at once educating and entertaining. This is the secret of Sousa’s poputarity— he blends the grave with the gay and keeps up with the times in respect of both. Seats now on sale at Metzerott's. Frank Carpenter.—It will be interesting to the readers of The Star who are read- ing Mr. Carpenter's letters of Asiatic travel to know that he will begin a lecture tour this month, which will include the largest cities of the United States, He cpens his season on December 17 at Balti- more, after which he will deliver courses of lectures in Pittsburg, Cleveland, Indian- apolis, Detroit, Chicago-andvothers of the leading western cities. He has three lec- tures, embracing the countries of Japan, Corea and China, and giving the latest in- formation concerning’ these countries as they are today. His trip to Asia was made with the intention of preparing these talks as much es a newspaper venture, and he had a corps of photographers with pim, and succeeded in getting a large number of new and original illustrations. He took pictures in the mi nebellious..regions of China, and, seated on a Chinese cart, press- | ed the button of his camera right under the shadow of the palaces of the emperor | In Peking. In Corea he was taken into the king’s palaces, and he succeeded in getting magnificent views illustrating every feat- ure of life there. It was the same in Japan, and after he had taken about one thousand negatives he carried them with him to Tokyo, and had his pictures’made and col- ored by the finest of the Japanese artists. The result is that his views give a m graphic illustration of these countries, which now form the news center of the globe. So far, Mr. Carpenter has not appeared in Washington, though he has had a num- ber of applications to do so. He will, how- ever, give his course here some time dur- ing the winter. Ovide Musin Concert.—Ovide Musin and his concert company come to the Metzerott Music Hall next Thursday night with an attractive concert program. Mr. Musin, like Cesar Thomson, who appeared with the Boston Symphony Orchestra last Tues- day, is a Belgian, and he has delighted Washington audiences often with playing quite as good as that of Mr. Thomson. Mr. Musin fs not a novelty, but he is none the less a great musical attraction here, and his annual concert Js sure to draw a largo audience. With him are his wife, Annie Loutse Tanner Musin; Miss Bessie Bonsall, an excellent contralto; Fred Elijott, a bril- Nant tenor, and Eduard Scharf, a concert In order to bring this monster | The | pianist of recognized ability. All of, these are artists, and the program they offer, while not severely classical, is not of a strictly popular character. The sale now going cn indicates that Mr. Musin will have a large audience. National Lyceuf Course.—If the people of Washington had known what a treat Wal- ter Damrosch would give them when he opened the National Lyceum course at Metzerott Music Hall last Wednesday the suzscription list for the course would not have held the names of all those who would have wanted to subscribe. Follow- ing the lecture there was a great demand for the seagon tickets, and the managers of the course, to oblige the friends of the present subscribers, who are anxious to get in “on the ground floor,” have made ar- rangement witn the Ovide Musin Concert Company by which those who send in their names and $1.80 in the next three days will receive tickets for the Musin con- cert and for the nine course entertainments to follow. These entertainments include concerts by the Mozart Symphony Club, the Wesleyan College Glee Club and the Ollie Torbett Concert Company, readings and recitations by George Riddle and Jen- nie O'Neill Potcer, and the lectures by H. H. Hagan, Mary Proctor and Lewis Harvie Finney. The Fizrey Lecture.—The familiar face of Lewis Harvie Finney looks out of the advertisement of the second entertainment on the National Lyceum list, for which single seats will be placed on sale next Monday. Mr. Finney is the private secre- tary of Secretary Herbert. He has been in Washington for a number of years, and during that time has delivered several times his lecture on the “Passion Play,” which was received with great favor. He has prepared an entirely new lecture, en- titled “The Glories of the Nile,” which he will present for the first time at the Metz- erott Music Hall December 19, It will be illustrated with a number of fine-colored views, thrown on the screen. The Choral Society.—The custom prevail- ing in many of our largest and most pro- gressive cities of making a performance of Handel's greatest oratorio, “The Messiah,” a part of the festal observances of the hol- iday season seems to be well established in Washington, and the coming perform- ance of that popular work by the Choral Society, on Friday evening, December 28, at Convention Music Hall, will probably be attended by an immense audience. The solo- ists engaged, Mme.omma Juch, Miss Kath- erine Fleming, Mr. Wm. H. Rieger and Mr. Ericsson F. Bushnell, comprise the best quartet that has ever been presented in Washington in this great work. N. standing the enormous expense att: to the performance, the prices will remain as before, 50 and 75 cents and $1, with a nearly equal number of seats at each price. The diagram of seats will be ready for the members and honorary members at Droop & Sons’, 925 Pennsylvania avenue, on Mon- day morning. The sale to the general pub- lic commences a week later, the 17th. Hon- orary membership season tickets, at $2.50 and $5, may still be procured at Messrs. Droop & Sons’ and the other leading music stores. The C. C. Course.—George Kennan’s il- lustrated lecture, “Russian Political Ex- iles," Is the attraction which will open the C. C. Course at Metzerott Hall Monday evening next. Mr. Kennan has an interest- ing story to tell and some magnificent pic- tures, and his lecture will doubtless make a great impression on the minds of those who are so fortunate as to hear him. The sale of seats for,this lecture will open promptly at 8 o'clock Monday morning at Metzerott’s music siore, 1110 F st. For the Kindergarten.—On next Thursday evening there will be a dramatic and mu- sical entertainment for the benefit of Pen- scara Free Kindergarten in the tapestry gallery of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. M. Ffoulke, No. 2013 | Massachusetts avenue. M. Thomas C. Noyes, Mrs. Louise Jewell Ma ning and Mr. J. Staley Hursey will partic pate in the program. Dr. Stafford on Hamlet.—Much interest is felt in the coming lecture at Metzerott Music Hall by Rev. Dr. Stafford for the berefit of the Emergency Hospital. Dr. Stafford is recognized as one of the most eloquent and powerful orators in the Cath- olic priesthood and has won wide fame for the high intellectuality he possesses. His subject will be “Hamlet,” and there is con- siderable curiosity among scholars as well as the less erndite to ascertain the dis- tinguished theologian’s diagnosis of the mental caliber of Shakespeare's greatest character. The Carrol Institute Orchestra will play before the lecture. The Stoddard Lectures.—John L. Stod- dard is in the midst of the most prosperous season he has ever known. After unusual- ly successful courses in Brooklyn and Philadelphia Mr. Stoddard went to Chi- cago, where he was engaged for a season of five solid weeks, with lectures every evenitg. Crowds constantly filled the great hall and at the closing lecture hun- dreds were turned: away and the lecturer received the greatest ovation of his Ife. Now he is in Boston, attracting enormous audiences. His lectures of this season are upon places and scenes in continental rope, but perhaps the most popular one of all is the revival of his famous lecture on the Passion Play, which is brought out this year in obedience to many requests. Mr, Stoddard will be here in February. ‘The Cannibal King.—Mr. Harry Wheaton Howard will doubtless add considerably to his reputation as a composer by the pro- duction of “The Cannibal King,” a comic operetta, which is to be given on the even- ings of the 13th and idth at High School Hall, O street near 7th northwest, by pupils of the Polk, Henry and Morse schools. Mr. Howard wrote the opera while abroad, as a satire upon the infatua- tion of the average American for foreign titles. He wrote the libretto, as well as the score, a very noticeab! feature of this work, as the choruses and solos are unusually well adapted to the various dramatic situations. The plot is most cleverly managed. The rehearsals are pro- gressing very satisfactorily, and all in- terested look forward to an’ excellent per- formance. The committee in charge ex- pect to reproduce the operetta on a grander scale in the spring. Much credit is due Mr. Eugene A. Davis of Jack-the-Giant- Killer fame for the skillful manner in which he develops the dramatic instincts of the young artists. He teaches by ex- | ample rather than by precept, a method well adapted to bring out the unsuspected ability of novices. Mr. Halstead P. Hoover ‘renders valuable services as accompanist. The cast is composed girls and boys: Beulah Boernstein, Dora Lustig, Pauline Ludgate, Marie | Breit- barth, Harold Tracy, Dean Corser, Willie Johnson, Leroy Hreitbarth ard’ Harry Freeman. Harold Tracy has already gain- ed a reputation as Dick Deadeye. The stars are followed through their joys and . = FRANTIC WITH ROILS of the following wou) AND INCHING.

A., of Bombay, who is now lecturing in Washington on Hindu pitlcsopby. and esoteric sciences of India, as been listened to with intense appreci- ation by the most advanced students of this city. His speech before the ladies of the Twentieth Century Club Thursday was highly appreciated by all present. Mr. Gandhi's high standing in his own country is vouched for by prominent Americans who have known him at home. This mas- ter of the Aryan philosophies is certainly giving an opportunity that should not be missed. Marie Decca.—A dangerous accident hap- pened to Madame Marie Decca at the Vic- toria Hotel, Chicago, during her concert en- gagement in that city this week. The ceil- ing of her room fell, striking Madame Decea upon the head and shoulders and knocking her senseless. She soon recovered consciousness, however, and it was ascer- tained that her injuries were not serious, although there were several painful bruises. The accident will not interfere with her ap pearance in concert in this city next Tues- day evening, Overtaxed Nerves Produce a* form of weariness more intense, more depressing and more + disastrous than anything known to tired muscles. ‘Thousands of women know all the miseries that a broken down nervous system brings.
