THE SUN'S GOAL. “Where blooms the broad Savanna, ‘Where mighty waters roll, ‘To rest beyond the mountains, The sun flees to his goal.” ‘These words of a great and lamented mu- sician describe not more fittingly the chariot of Phoebus than they do the swift-flying “Sunset Limited,” the greatest modern rail- way chariot that “pursues the King of Day edown the west.” This sumptuously ap- pointed and solid vestibuled carrier of hu- man freight, over the now celebrated South- ern Pacific Sunset Route, is not surpassed or even approached by any other passenger train In service on any road between the Mississippi and the Pacific slope. The speed with which “Sunset Limited” covers the distance—only sixty hours—would have seemed to our fathers simply a fanciful figment from some wild visionary’s imag’ nation; yet, notwithstanding this, almost absolute safety is assured every passenger who mingles delight with necessity in find- ing the western waters over this equatorial belt line. Perpetual sunshine kisses the landscape over every mile of this scenic route, the course lying so far below the snow and ice line as to offer entire salubrity and comfort even in midwinter to every traveler and tourist and to every seeker after health in milder climes. Not speed only, but safety, and not safety only, but luxurious ease, coupled with all the beau- ties of the marvelous and changeful scen- ery, makes a two days’ journey by “Sunset Limited” a most pleasurable event in any Ife.

German st., Washington has there been so much wide- spread suffering as in these closing days of the year 1894. Under ordinary circum- stances the winter is sad.enough for the thousands who must necessarily lead pre- carious lives from season to season. But to this great army of unfortunates is added now a new class of people, who hitherto have never known suffering or want. Ordinarily help is extended to the unfortunates by people of moderate means, who, knowing the circumstances of those nearer to them than to the occupants of the higher circles, are more ready and will- ing to give even of their more slender stores. But now the great demand for help finds these sources, though quite as willing, less able to add their mites, as heretofore. Immediate Help Needed. It is a time for immediate help to be given by the people in comfortable circum- stances, in order to prevent not only suf- fering, but possibly death, among the very poor of Washington. It needs no detailed description of the sufferings of certain families and certain cases to convince the intelligent citizen that there now prevails the most terrible distress that can possibly exist. Help must come at once, and in such measure that not only a very few, but @ great many can be reached and relieved without the least delay. Money must be had, 1 death by cold or starvation is to be prevented in almost every section of the city. Lives are in the balance as they have never before been in Washington. They may be saved by prompt aid, by generous contributions to the fund which The Star hopes will be raised ina few hours to such @ point that the applicants for charity whose petitions are pouring in by the score may be adequately relieved. Contributions Already Received. This fund is for distribution, in the form of supplies, groceries, coal and clothing, to the poor directly through the best agencies possible. Every dollar sent will help now as at no other time. Below will be found memoranda of generous contributions that have already been received for the special Baltimere. purpose of aiding the poor, without refer- oy Hawley: asst. G. T.

In addition to the money contributions any gifts of clothing for the poor will be very gratefully received. Such a package was received this morning anonymously.

Albaugh’s.—The best known of all actors, Mr. Richard Mansfield, will bo the foremost attraction of the season at Aibaugh’s Grand Opera Houxe. Mr. Mansfield com- mences his engagement Monday night, and will devote but one week's engagement this year to Washington. Since Mr. Mans- field attained the dignity of a star it har always been his destre to give his followers the best standard of true art. This year he will offer the best arrangement of plays he has yet given Washingtonians. On Monday evening he will open his season with “Arms and the Man,” a brilliant comedy in three acts by Bernard Shaw. The play is described as being intensely satirical, with its scenes iaid in Russia. The aim of the piece is to present inverted character—in other words, human nature just as it is, with all its humbuggery laid bare. This comedy has proven an instan- taneous success in London, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, in fact, every city that Mr. Mansfield has visited this season, and in the role of Capt. Bluntschli Mr. Mansfield has again given the stage another excellent creation. On Tifesday (New Year) matinee and Friday evening Mr. Mansfield will appear in his remarka- bly successful ccenception of Beau Brum- mell. Great curiosity has been shown by the announcement that Mr. Mansfield would present during his engagement in this city a dramatization of the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. The first perform- ance will be given New Year evening, and, by special request, this play will be re- peated at the Saturday matinee. The pro- duction is made on a magnificent sei and it 1s safe to predict that at each pe formance of “Napoleon Bonaparte’ all lit- erary Washington will pay homage to Mr, Mansfield for his daring interpolation of such an important historical character. The only performance of “A Romance” will be given on W evening, and Thursday evening Mr. Mans- field will be seem as the young courier in “Prince Karl.” Saturday night Mr. Mansfield will terminate his engage- ment by appearing in the dual role of “Dr. Jekyl! and Hyde.” The great interest that Mr. Mansfield’s engagement produces is amply manifested by the enor- mous advance sale, and when Mr. Man: field steps before the footlights Monday evening he will be greeted by the repre- sentative first-night audience. To produce so many diverse and complex characters Mr. Mansfield requires the sistance of two distinct companies, numbering in all fifty people. The principal menibers of both companies are, including Miss I trice Cameron, D. H. Harkins, court, A. G. Andrews, W. F. Smiles, F. C. Butler, C. G. Burbridy J. W. T. Weaver, J. V. Serrano, Thomas Graham, Addison Pitt, Mrs. McKee Ran- kin, Katharine Gray, Jane Stuart, Alice Leigh, Helen Glidden, Ethel Chase Spraxut Rolinda Bainbridge, Angela and W McCaull_and Dot Clarendon. : New National Theater.—“In Old Ken- tucky,” a play that has been seen here before, will pay another visit to this city next week, locating at the New National Theater. 2 Academy of Music.—“The New with James T.

G, Brinton were che frequently expressed by emphatic applause. This was especially true after the rendi- tion of the chorus “For Unto Us a Child Is Born,” which displayedvthe well-adjusted balance of the chorus, the delicacy of ex- pression and the readiness of attack which they have acquired under the careful and sympathetic leadership iof the conductor, Prof. Josef Kaspar. ‘The chorus was re- peated in response to.an encore. The soci- ety was assisted by, Miss Emma Juch, so- prano; Miss Katharine Fleming, contralto; Mr. William MacFarland of this city, tenor, and Mr. Ericsson F.: Bushnell, bass. The work of Mr. MacFarland, who was called upon unexpectedly to take the place of Mr. William H. Rieger, who was unable to reach the city on account of a snow block- ade, was exceptionally good, especially in view of the short notice. The charming personality and voice of Miss Juch was @ feature of the rendition, which enlisted per- haps the most enthusiastic demonstration on the part of the audience. Mr. Bushnell sustained the reputation which he has ac- quired and his splendid voice nobly inter- preted the solo parts assigned to the bass. The voice of Miss Fleming was hardly equal to oratorio work, but she sang with an artistic appreciation of the music and the words. As usual, the orchestration was by players of the Peabody Symphony Or- chestra of Baltimore, and’ the pianists were Mrs. Joseph F. Thomas and Mr. John Porter Lawrence. Tie orchestral accompa- niment showed a marked improvement over that of previous concerts. The only draw- hack to this splendid performance of sacred music, so appropriate to the season, was the failyre to have the hall properly heat- ed. In consequence of the intense cold, the ladies of the chorus, who wore, as is their custom evening dress, were obliged to put on their Wraps, and even with this protec- tion sat through the evening exposed to draughts of cold alr and a_ temperature which vas dangerous to life. The audience also suffered from the cold, and in addi- tion to wearing overcoats and wraps a great many were obliged to turn up the collars of their coats and put on their hats. A number were unabie to sit out the entire performance, as they were ‘tfraid of the results of remaining longer in such a place. For this state of things the blame rests not upon the society, but upon the man- agement of the hall. a THE GREEK LETTER SOC IES.

NURSES FOR THE JAPAN WAR. Modern Ideas Are Still Actively at Work in the Flowery Isle. That the wave of modernism in Japan is reaching to every phase of life there is evidenced by the testimony of a Washing- ton lady, the daughter of Mrs. Hugh Mc- Culloch, who recently spent a month in the islands. She writes that there is on every Tand the most enthusiastic patriotism among the people. Every one seemed to be working willingly to contribute to the war fund. At a Protestant Episcopal mission in the mountains she found a school for nurses, thoroughly equipped, which had furnished one company of trained nurses and was about sending another to the front to nurse the sick and wounded. Miss McCulloch says that the nurse's dress is very becom- ing to the pretty Japanese girls, whose modesty and politeness were very striking. Saas Preparing a Register.
