DIFICE HISTORY OF THE Built Up From a Small by Hard Work. Beginning THE PRESENT BUILDING Tomorrow will be a day of rejoicing to all colored Methodists tm this city, for at 11 o'clock in the morning the Miles Tab- ernacle C. M. E. Church will be formal- ly reopened by special services, appropriate to the occasion. The hopes of the con- gregation and-the labors of the pastor will then have recelved a reward commensu- rate with an undertaking that gives to Washington one of its largest colored churches. ‘The prcgram of reopening and dedication embraces a. p-riod of. eleven. days, begin- ning with Sunday, January 6, end contin- uing until the 16th, inctusivé, during which time services will be held daily in the practically new edifice. Bishop R. S. Wil- liams of the A. M. EB. Church will deliver the reopening sermon, and the Miles Tab- ernacle choir will furnish selected music, while in the afternoon et 3 o'clock, Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, will make the ‘address and the choir of his church will render the music. The day wiil close by another service at 7:30 in the evening, at which F. M. Hamilton of this city will preach the sermon. Durl the Week. Monday evening, at the same hour as on Sunday, Rev. S. B. Wallace, M. D., pastor of Israel Metropolitan C. M. E. Church, will have charge of the exercises, and will be assisted by music from Israel choir. Rev. R. A. Fisher, D. D., of John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, takes Rev. Wal- lace’s place on Tuesday, and on Wednes- day Rev. W. H. Brooks, D. D., pastor of the Nineteenth’ Street Baptist Church, per- forms the same service. Un the former eceasion hymns will be sung by John Wesley A. M. E. Z. choir, and on the lat- ter by the Nineteenth Street choir. Thurs- day and Friday of the same week sermons will be delivered by Revs. F. H. Hill of Metropolitan -@hurcb -and J. B, Washing- ton of Lane Chapel, the ‘tusic to be in charge of” the’ choirs’ ofthe respective churches. 5 With appropriate cerémonies on the fol- lowing Sunday the church will be dedicated at 11 o'clock in the morning, and Bishop Williams will preach the sermon of dedica- tion. Other. exercises will be given in the afternoon and evening of the same day, and wilk-be directed by Revs. Wallace anc G. G. Jones of Hillsdale. ‘The services of Monday and ‘Tuesday of the, week after will cecur in the evening, and the preach- mg is to be by HRev:-W: P. Gibbons, Ph. D., of Mt. Carmel Church and Rey, J. D. Daley, pastor of the People’s Céngregational Church, with music rendered by their re- spective choirs, The final service will take place Wednesday evening, the 16th, and is to consist of preaching by Rev. A. Den- nis, hymns’ by “Kbénezer choir and a pre- sentation to be made by the organizations of the church. The sefvices and music have been so-erranged as to be of interest to all colored church-goers in Washngton and will ro doubt attract largé audiences. A committee was appointed some time ago to make all neccssary arrangements, and is as follows: W. H. Gardner, chair- man; Mamie Barton, Thos. Bell, Susan Bell, Walter Glover, Catherine Washington, J: Blanheim, Cary Gard: Emma Brent, Alice Hititary, °W!"H.“Hi Smith, Fannie Brooks, G. H. Woods, Josephine Cary and George Washington. Sketth of the Cherch. On the 3d of September, 1883, Rev. W. F. Simons erganized .a .cangregation among the people in the neigborhood of 3d and L’ streets northwest, and secured the use of an old scHd0l Euilding, which stood on the site of the preset church, west side of 3d street between L and M northwest, as a place of worship. The building was of wood and had only .one-toor, measuring 20 by 40. The organization was erfected with about sixty-two members. Notwithstand- ing numerous difficulties, Licentiate Sim- ons, in his two years of pastorate, built up his small charge well, and-was during that period regularly ordained as a minister and admitted to the Methodist eomference. Kev. G. L. Davis was made pastor in 1885, and during his single year of incumbency_ built up the congregation from a membership of ninety-eight to” Lit: gig Several. Pastors. Rev. Mr. Davis was succeeded by Rev. H. W. Madison, who came in 1886 and stayed two years. The next pastor was Rev. J. W. Luckett, who’ wa$ insalléd in’ 1890, and in the course of his four years’ regime ac- complished more than any minister the church has yet had, excepting the present one, Rev., J, C. Martin... Realizing that the neighborhood $f the church had grown rapidly from: 1852 to ISsS, and perceiving its fradequate religious facilities, Mr. Luckett determined: to tear down the old structure and build an entirely new church, one large enough for years to come. The late Kishep Miles, then senior bishopvot ‘the A. M. E. Church, was much in favor of the project, aad in consequence ofthe fictal and mon- etary assistance he gave it the church was called the Miles Tabernacle Church. Present Charch. The general home missionary board of the A. M. E. Church purchased the lot on which the present edifice stands in 1887, and on the 25th of August, 18%, the corner stene was laid, under the auspices of the Masons, with elaborate exercises. Only the brick work was completed, and since then the congregation has been worshiping in the basement. In Isvz Rev. Mr. Luckett was transferrel to the Kentucky confer- ence, and soon afterward Rev. J. C. Martin accepted a call to the vacant pulpit, ser ing from that time unil this. The first offi- “ial step taken to finish the church was by ‘fan order of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, colored, pass- ed in its sessiony last May, at Memphis. By this resolution the pastor was directed to begin, as scon as possible, work on the luilding and the conference pledged itself to assist in paying off the outstanding debt, then amounting to $10,000. Another clause of this resolution directed the chang- ing of the name Miles Tabernacle to that of Miles Memorial, tne church to stand as @ monument to the energy of Bishop W. H. Miles. ‘The structure stands on the west side of $d sirect northwest, between L and M, and fs built of red brick, though in no par- ticular style of architecture. ‘The altera- tions and additicns were begun last fall and have cost fully eight thousand dol- lars. In its present state the most no- ticeable feature of the exterior of the edi- fice is a tower, fifty feet in height, pro- jecting out from the center of the front face, five feet, and reaching to the apex of the rcof. Surmounting the tower is a steeple, thirty feet high, which has been restated and contains in its belfry a hand- some new bell. From the northeast and southeast corn2rs project wings, 5 1-2 by 14 feet, and with these exceptions the church is oblong in shape. Entrance ts had by a large double door in the base of the tower and by single doors in each of the wings. The major portion of the lower floor is taken up by a lecture room, 218 feet long by 43 wide. ‘The corner wings are oc- cupied each by flights of stairs, which lead to the main fioor and to the gallery, and which end in a stairway up into the bel- fry. To the right and left of the hall, which leads to the lower floor auditorium, are .wo class rooms, each 14x18. These rooms are separated from the main room by sliding glass partitions, and all can be thrown into one when desired. The rear portion of this floor is occupied by a fur- nace room and a class room, to the north and south of which are stairways leading | up to the choir and organ loft. In the majn room are six plain fron pillars, used in “support of the flooring above. Facing the entrance and at the west side of the room is a large altar, this place having been used as the church, as well as the Sunday school. ‘The floor above is occupied principally by a main auditorium, 60 feet long by 48 feet wide, and having a seating capacity, in- cluding that of the gallery, of about 800. This floor was formerly in a bere state, und now it is completely plastered, with a sand finish, and has a neatly entirely new sloor- ing. A gallery, 20 by 48 feet, occupies the east- ern side of the church, and is reached by ash stairways. The furnishings of the church include a new chancel rail and altar, a new carpet, oak pews and a new silver communion service. In the daytime light is furnished to the auditorium by twelve windows, 14 feet by 31-2, six on each side; and to the lower floor by same number, 3 by 6 feet, the former being filled + with cathedral glass and the letter with plain glass. Handsome chandeliers with electric lighting give the required light in the evening, and ten steam radiators ure sufficient for heating purvoses. ‘Those in Charge. Robert I. Fleming was the architect and Frank N. Carver the contractor and builder. The financial affairs pertaining to the al- terations have been in charge of a building committee, composed of W. H H. Smith, cheirman; Mesers. W. H. Gardner, A. Free- man, J. H. Blanheim and Geergée Wash- irgton. Tae trustees of the church ar Walter Glover, Stephen Holland, Bell, W. H. Gardner, W. M. Sims and. W. H. H. Smith, with George Washington as | superintandent of the Sunday school, num- bering seventy-twe scholars. No man has Leen more active in planning the-ways and means for raising the money, nor more in- terested in the work of construction than the pastor of the church, Rev. J. C. Mar- tin. J. C. Mastin was born on a farm in Gibson county, Tenn., in 1863, and_recetved up to his elgliteenth year a common school education, though cnly obtaining four months’ schooling. out of each year. teaching. school for a while, he went to Reger Williams University at Memphis, but while lacking only a few months of graduation was taken sick and had to leave. At Howe Institute, also in Memphis,he pur- sued a theological course, and was licensed to preach in November of 1889, joining the conference in December. His first charge was the Georges Street Churcn,. Memphi where, during a two years’ incumbency, he increased the congregation from 72 to members, and completely furnished the church building. In 1892 he received the call to Miles. and has since made himself popular with the members of his congrega- tions by his zealous and earnest efforts in their behalf. ————— AMUSEMENTS. Albaugh’s.—The interest created among all classes of intelligent theatergoers. by the performance of Sardou's great Napoleonic comedy, “Madame Sans Gene," vember at Albaugh’s has become i by the announcement that the play ts to be repeated at that theater nextaweek. Every detail of the play is perfect, both in the acting of it and in the staging. All the magnificent furniture, tapestries, bric-a- brac, costumes, even to the medals and orders worn by Napoleon's bodyguard and the officers of the palace, are historically correct, and the scenery, which is built on models and drawings made in the very, rooms which they represent, also serves to aid in completing the illusion. As a result of all this care, thought and research, to say nothing of the larg2 expense involved, Mr. Pitou has a play which will long out- live the present so-called Napoleonic craze, end which will serve to dehght the pub! for years. The humor of the piay consists in the transfer of the Duchess of Dantzig’s laundry manners to the new imperial court, which Napoleon wishes to make as digni- fied as possible. To Kathryn Kidéer'’s charming personality is owing much of the enthusiasm with which the characteristics in Sardou’s heroine are nightly greeted by the auditors. The gowns worn by Miss Kidder in “Madame Sans Gene” are amony the most elaborate and costly seen in th city this season. 2 New National Theater.—Mr. Francis Wil- son and his comic opera company will be seen at the New National Theater next week in his latest success, “Tne Devil's Deputy.” Academy of Music.—The attraction at the Academy of Music next week will be “Oid Hoss” Hoey in “The Flams.” The Bijou Theater.—Walter Sanford's ex- cellent ‘scenic production, “A Flag’' of Truce,” comes to Butler's New Bijou The- ater next Monday night for the week. Will- jam Haworth, the author of “The Ensign,” “Old Glory” and many successful dramas, has given theatergoers in this, his latest and best play, a carefully written story of leve and war, with the booming of cannon and norrors of battle entirely eliminated, its principal scene depicting solely peacetul pursuits. his wonderfully accurate and realistic scene represents a large stone quarry, with genuine steam drills at work, requiring two five-horse power engines to run the machinery. The play will be given here with all its complete scenic and me- chanical accessories, and an admirable company will be seen in the cast. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The famous Rentz-Santley Novelty and Burlesque Com- peny, which will be the attraction at the Lyceum next week, is entirely new in its make-up this season; the company engaged is exceptionally strong and includes Miss Marion Blake, phenomenal baritone, this being her first appearance in America. Lottie Elliott, Teddy and Clara Simonds, Merritt and Welch, Edith Lemonte, Del- ta Rosko, Flossy St. Glair and others. The burlesque has been completely changed and is decidedly original, being founded on a mythological story, entitled “Venus and Apoilo Up To Date,” written by Charles Lonenburg. The entire com- pany, including Mr. Chas. Lawler (who will smg his latest success, “Ihe Sidewalks of New York"), and a bevy of pretty girls will be seen in the burlesque. Living pictures will also be introduced by this organization in a lavish manner,with reference to group- ings, color and light effect. They will he preduced under the personal direction of Signor Albert Operti. There will be mati- nees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Boston Symphony Orchestra.—The third cencert of the series by the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra, which takes place at Metzerott Hall next Tuesday evening, promises to be one of the most interesting given In Washington for a long time. The program will be devoted exclusively to Wagner selections, which Conductor Paur has arranged in chronological order. These excerpts from the great music dramas will be heard to the best possible advantage at hands of this superb orchestra. The vocal numbers will be sung by Miss Elsa Kut- scherra, from the royal opera, Dresden, and Mr. Anton Schott. i ‘The program in full is as follows:'“Rien- zi,” overture; annhaeuser,” (a) act II, Elizabeth's aria—(b) act III, prelude; “Fly- ing Dutehman,” overture; “Lohengrin,” (a) act II, balcony scene—(b) act UI, prelude; “Meistersinger,” (a) act II, prelude—(b) act I, Walther's islied; “Rheingold,” Procession of the Gods; “Die Walkure,” spring song; “Siegfried’’ and Waldweben “Goetterdammerung,” Siegfried’s passage to Brunhilde’s Rock, Morning Dawn and Rhine Journey. (Arranged by Hans Rich- ter.) ‘The C. C. Course.—One of the most inter- esting evenings of the “C. C.” Course is the third one, aranged for Monday, January 7, when Gen. Lew Wallace will read from his own works. The author of the “Prince of India” and “Ben Hur” is a master of de- scriptive eloquence. He reads his charming stories without oratorical pretense, and 1s gifted with a suavity and courtesy and dig- nity of manner most delightful. Rumor has it that Gen. Wallace reads this season for the last time, and in all probability Wash- ington people will never have another op- pertunity to hear him. Manstteld as Beau Brummell.—Mr, Mans- field placed “Beau Brummell’ on the boards at Albaugh’s last evening for the second time during the present engage- ment, and drew an audience that complete- ly filled the house. ‘This rather depressing view of the lite of the great English fash- jonable is perhaps as popular here as any of the plays in Mr. Mansfield’s repertoire. Its reception last night showed that it has lost none of its attractiveness. The part of the star is somewhat diflicult, yet it is sustained perfectly throughout the four acts that depict the closing days of the beau. There is a strong undercurrent of real sentiment beneath this fine coat, which presents ettective contrast to the otherwise fiippant character of the exquisite. At the end of the third act, which is perhaps the strongest of all, this phase of the beau's nature is given such a display as to appeal to the house even more strongly than the pitiful close of his life. Last evening there was 2 tremendous recall at this point. Mr. Manstield has, to be sure, no escape from his peculiar muscular play, that is strongly suggestive in much of his work of “Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde,” and this comes out strongly !n the final scenes of “Beau Brummell.” There is usually some excuse for this, however, but it is a dangerous method that some people cannot learn to enjoy. ‘fhe support given to Mr. Mans- field was last night quite up to that stand- ard that he is known to demand. Miss Jane Stuart acceptably filled the role that is usually taken by Miss Beatrice Cameron (Mrs. Manstield) as Mariana. Mr. Har- kins’ Prince of Wales was as-good as ever. After’ Mr. Ferguson ts somewhat missed from the role of Mortimer, which he made so de- ener at the earlier presentations of the play. Georgetown Orchestra.—Metzerott Hall held a large and enthusiastic audience last ight on the occasion of the first concert this season of the Georgetown Orchestra, and every number on the program was liberally applauded. ‘The orchestra never played better, and its selections were ex- tremely happy. ‘Phére -was only one really heavy number, and that was so well done both by soloist and: orchestra that it, per- haps more than anything else, demon- strated the frequent and careful rehearsal werk that had been undergone. This Hun- garian Fantasie by Liszt for piano and orchestra was: a test, not only for Mr. Lawrence the pianist, but for the ability of the orchestra to interpret the reading of the . director. Mr. Lawrence played with his usua! faultless technique, and he also infused into his work a power and spirit that was extremely gratifying and resulted in an emphatic encore. The orchegtra sus- tained its. part in an- excellent “manner. Wight's overture, “May,” which was played from manuscrip’, amd for the first time in this country, preved to be a pleasing coin- Position. The t&emm is-melodious, and its treatment is mamicignly and effective. The other orchestralnumbers were the spirited prelude to “Canmen,” with which the pro- gram opened, aad #hich went with a vim and vigor that @aught the sympathy of the audience at onge; Nesvadsa’s paraphrase, tLoreley,”” damty performed; Gillet's ‘Passe Pied,” whith gave Mr. Rudolph Green an oppqrtpnigy to do some good solo work on the ‘cejlojiand Laconie’s airs de ballet, four mosements, all of which were attractive and titelfigently played. Mrs. Thomas C. JNoyes was the vocal soloist, and the mower, flexibility and: com- pess of her voiee were fully demonstrated in her excellent iren@iticn of the scene and cavatina from the opera of “Ernani," which was sung to erchestral accompaniment. She was again and again recalled, but de- clined to sing more-until her second num- ber, which was Mascheronis “For Alt Bternity,” to which Mr. Rakemann played a violin obligato. After this the applause was so prolonged that Mrs. Noyes returned. and sang the Scotch ballad, Janet’s Choice, piaying her own accompaniment. Miss anita Cluss played the harp in the orches- tra and showed how eftective his instru- ment can be made in orchestra¥ work. To Mr. Rakemann, the director of the orches- tra, is due the highest praise for the good work done by the force under his control. The Coreans Stoned Him.—Frank G. Car- penter. tells the fotowing story’ about his experiences in Seoul, the capital of Corga, just before the late rebellion. 1t was in the center of the Ccrean capital. The nobles were riding about in their chairs, escorted by soldiers. Tnousands of men in white gowhs were rushing hither and thither at. their command, and women with lcng, green cloaks over their heads were scurrying to get out of the way. Into this crowd came Mr. Carpenter's photographer with his eumera, and attempted to take a photograph of the palace gates. He had the instrument set up when a mob collect- ed around. They charged the man with being about to exert an evil infinence on the king, and warned him to take down his camera. He refused to do so, where- upon thi began to stone him, and the camera was broken. It tuok Mr. Carpen- ter about two weel:s to get another one irom Japan, but he got it, and he took photographs all over the country. He had the artists of Corea assist him, and he is now going to talk to the people about Asia, and .iustrate his talks with these pic- tures. They are said to be the finést ever shown, and they have been colored by the greatest artists of Japan. “A selection from | tnese. pictures will form the. illustrations of Mr. Carpenter's talks here during the ie of January 21, at Metzerott Music jail. : Art Lecture.—The Art Students’ League announces the second of its winter course of lectures, which will be given on Jan- uary 12 by Mr. F. Hopkinson Smith, the genial avthor of “Colonel Carter of Gare tersville.” Mr. ‘Smith is deservedly pop- ulan asa. lecturer; he always has some- thing interesting to say and says it in an entertaining’ way, and the’ subject which he has chosen for this occasion, his only appearance in Washington this season, is a most attractive one. Other lectures of the course will be given by Mr. Wm. Ord- way Partridge, Mr. W. Lewis Fraser of the Century. Magazine, end Mrs. Candace Wheeler. ‘A Dieleet Réeital.—-Mr. ‘Pole Miler will appear at Metzerott Hall in Dialect Re- cital as’an OM Plantation Negro*’on the llth frstent. Mr. Miller is -the best de- iineator of tke old souther plantation negro. that: has ever appearedion the public stage,,and in. his: description of ‘his “boy- hood’s happy days down othe farm" he introduces the most. side-splittirg stories, and reproduces in aTeatistic manner those old plantation meledies, accempanied by the banjo, which: carry the old-timé south- erners hack,.to the days of sheir-child- hood, and gives to these not famiiiar with tthe-snegro ‘the very best ‘opportunity: of hearlig the pure negro dialect, from one who knows it, aot from study nor from reading it,.but from having been in con- tact with that rece all his life. The Sutro Ensemble Concert.—Ensemble piano playing ds somewhat of a novelty in America, although often heard abroad. It . requires notonly ‘technical skill” sense of mutual understanding that for the time makes but ene player out of ‘the two performers. his trait is reraarkably de- veloped in these young ladies. who, wher- ever heard in this, their native country, as well as abroad, have carricd their hearers by storm. Their+press notices alone make a book of no mean size, in which may be found favorable griticisms from the leading New York, Brooklyn, Chicago and Balti- more papers, as well as the foreign press. _ A Sugeestion to the Rochdale Society. To the Editor of The Eveuing Star: I write to suggest that there is a quasi public fund belonging to citizens of Wash- ington that might be drawn upon for relief purpoges at this trying period. I refer to the accumulated surplus of the Rochdale Co-operative Society, amounting to $3,000, according to the general undersianding. This fund was a subject of litigation some months ago, but is now out of court and in the custody of the society's proper officials, who hold it in trust for the membership. But the difficulty has only beon trans- ferred, since its proper disposal is as much of a problem as ever. ‘The society has no aims or objects that could be furthered or advanced by the expenditure of that or other considerable sum, and its annual receipts are understocd to be im excess of expenses. It would séem, therefore, that there is nothing to hinder the society from a large charitaBle contribution, if so dis- posed. Nobody would be made a penny poorer, while an immense amount of mis- ery might be thus assuaged. I refrain from cccupying space with a history of the society, from which it might be demonstrated to all large minds that its savings really belong to the people of Washington, rather than to the individual members of the organization, and cannot be put to better use than in relieving the wants of the poor and needy. I think pub- lic sentiment will sustain The Star should it see fit to advocate such disposition of the society’s surplus, and trust it will soon announce the success of its efforts in this behalf. A MEMBER. ea eS Sympathy and Tact in Almegiving. To the Editor of The Evening Star: It is very pleasant to see the interest which is being awakened in the condition of the poor and the disposition manifested to relieve their necessities. But permit me through your columns to say, the mere dispensing of money and charitable gifts, though it may save them from suffering and starvation, goes only a little way toward relieving their ne- cessities. ‘he poor is separated from his neighbor,” and though he may be in want of food, fuel and clcthing, yet what he feels the need 0. more than perhaps any- thing else is a friend. Not a few of the poor are worthy, and these have hearts which are sensitive and responsive to any Pinirestation of Kindness, but quickly wounded by an unkind word or act. And when they are the recipients of a little of the abundance of the wealthy, if their feelings are hurt by the way it is dispensed they will Very likely afterward prefer suf- tering and death rather than let their wants be known. Some who visit and give to the poor show little or no sympathy tor them, and carry no gospel of sunshine and good cheer and encouragement to them. Instead of these, and of kindness and gentleness, there is sometimes the cold, dictatorial, heartless manner, and until per- haps’ the very presence of the visitor is reckoned by.the poor a greater affliction than their poverty. Of these two classes, each has scmething the other has not; and if the rich are not too blind they can some- times find what is more precious than gold in the homes of the poor. : eS A Street Car Line to the Jail Wanted. To the Editor of The Evening Star: It being necessary for the writer of this, to-go to the jail on business some day this week, I am told (possibly wrongly) that the ‘branch of the Anacostia road leading from 1ith. street northeast to the asylum-is not operated now except for a little -while in the afternoon. Why is this? That branch was .authorized-to. accommodate the in- creasing. population of that part of the city, which it does not do unless run every day in the year and all day. It certainly was not intended to allow that company to operate it as they choose, and the balance of the time hold the right of way against ary other company that might be willing to do,the right thing. ‘To go ty the jail by the herdic or Eck- ington: line involves a walk of six or eight squares, and: probably: much of the way without a- pavement. .Can’t The Star stir up the company to a sense of duty? CITIZEN. ————— A Request by the Civie Center. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Referring to the article of the 15th of last December, setting forth the aims and method of the Civic Center of Washing- ton, will you turther state that in order to facilitate that.part of its work which con- sists in taking and keeping account of all the agencies for gcod at work in this city, it desires a copy of the constitution or rules.of governance, together with a list of the officers of each and every organization, association, league, club, etc., formed for promoting the city’s welfare in such mat- ters as its municipal, industrial and edu- cational affairs, its sanitary conditions, its philanthropic, charitable, moral and relig- icus interests, etc. The same may be scnt at the Concord, or to Miss Hos- secretary, 2020 Hillyer place.
