The Saengerbund Concert.-The Wash- ington Saengerbund held its second con- cert of this season at the Academy of Mu- sic last evening. The audience was a large one. The soloists were Mrs. Kitty Thompson Berry, Miss Margaret Eichhorn and Mr. Max Kaestl of Baltimore. The conductor was Mr. William Waldecker, and an orchestra of twenty-five pieces sus- tained the vocal music. The work of the band was an improvement even over that of the last concert, and fully deserved the applause it received. The orchestral num- bers were also well performed. Mrs. Berry sang with her accustomed ease and effect, and Miss Kichhorn displayed a contralto voice of much purity and power. Mr. Kaestl proved himself a master of the vio- lin, and his ability was promptly recog- nized. Prof. Waldecker has cause for great satisfaction at the result of these two con- certs, both from a musical and a financial standpeint. The C. C. Course.—Will Carleton, the ever popular poet, will deliver as the last entertainment of the “ Cc.” Course bh beautiful poem lecture, “Better Times,” at Meizerott Music Hail, Thursday even- ing next. Most of the authors who have gained distinction have utterly failed as lecturers, but Carleton is certainly an ex- ception to the ruie. He not only charms his audience by his effective and graceful delivéry, by the wit, sparkle and beauty of the lines delivered, but also by the sound instruction contained within each period. The sale of seats opened this morn- ing at Metzerott’s. Prof. Carpenter—Prof. Carpenter still continues to give exhibitions at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall every evening except Monday. That these entertainments are amusing is demonstrated by the crowded houses which &reet the professor at every performance, ard‘ that they are instructive every cne knows. Tne prices are popular and the box office 1s open every evening from 2 to 4. Lecture on Memcry.—Prof. Boyd will lec- ture’ on memory at Gurley Memorial Church, Florida avenue northwest between Gth and 7th streets, tonight. The lecture is free, and ali are invited. Calvary Baptist Church.—The concert of the Schumann Lady Quartet of Chicago at the Calvary Baptist Church tonight will be an interesting event. The quartet will be assisted by Miss Jessie G. Patton, elo- cutionist, who is in charge of the elocu- tionary branch of the Walter C. Lyman School of Expression in Chicago. New National Theater.—William H. Crane gave his new play at the New National Theater last Saturday with the most sat- isfactory results. Washington is favored with a large share of the initial productions of American attractions, and the presenta- tion of a new piece by so promising a dramatic writer as Martha Morton by so ccempetent and so highly esteemed an actor William H. Crane was an_ occasion which merited the attention which it had at the 1s of the public. “His Wife's Father” is deftly woven and fine fibered. It has power, too, and with some slight alterations will doubtless be a highly cu- joyabie feature of the company’s reper- toire. Mr. Crane played the role of a self- made man with his usual skill and vigor, and the company was seen to advantage throughout the cast. —— A Capital and Labor Debate. An interesting debate was held Saturday evening by the Debating Society of Colum- Lian Law School on the question that or- ganizations of capital and labor are for the best interests of society as a whole. Presi- dent Walter Colquitt occupied the chair, and the judges were M m Small, Mr. F. W. Vaughn and Judge D. 5. Foste! Messrs. W. Bb. Nixon, C. M. Lane and B. M. Doyle supported the aflirmative, while M . Seth E. Tracy, H. C. Evans and Alfred S. Dalton argued in the negative. The decision of the judges was in favor of the negative. —_——__—_. ¥. M. C. A.

Literary Society Saturday night was that the general effect of the advance in the arts and sciences kas been to elevate the morality of mankind.

A general debate was then indulged in by many mem- be The judge gave the victory to the affirmative side. Carroll Institate Dramatic Club. The Carrell Institute Dramatic Club‘ has decided to make its appearance before the public this winter in Tom Taylor's old English comedy, “Still Waters Run Deep. This is the same organization which gave the “Evenings With Shakespeare” last season. The young amateurs realize that they have a hard task before them in the readition of this work, made especially so the impressions left by such great ac- as James W. Wallack, jr., Rose Etynge, E. L. Davenport and the Kendalls, but they hope to present the play in a manner that wiil bear criticism and even comparison. Mr. James A. Mahoney will superintend the production, which is to-be rendered by the following Mr. Potter, Mr. Percy Leach; Capt. Hawksley, Mr. J. Travis Ccecker; John Mildmay, Mr. Ed. J.

At a meeting of Spartan Council, No. 5, Sons of Jonadab, on last Saturday night, aceerding to resolution, the council vas resolved into a council of sorrow. C. H. Moulton was called upon to preside, who, on taking the chair, made some culo- gistic remarks on the death of J. Dempster Smith. “Nearer, My God, to Thee” was then sung by the council, Mr. Loveless leading. Further eulogistic remarks were made by J. Ryan, G. H. Cline, John Humphrey, C. R. Hodges and others pres- ent. All the remarks tended to show the high respect and esteem in which he was heid by all who knew him. —_ Library Clerk and Library Cataloguer The vil service commission will hold an examination on February 14, 1895, for the position of library clerk and on Feb- rvuary 14 and 15 for the position of library catadoguer, Department of Agriculture. © salary of the library catalogucr is $!,200 per annum and that of the library er annum.

L AFFAIRS IN +GEORGETOWN Work of the Ohurcl. and Temperance Organizations. Notes of Important Events From Across Rock @reek—Personal and Genéraj Items. After arousing and sustaining the great- est interest for two weeks, the Rev. Fath- ers O'Kane, Himmel! and Campbell, the missionaries, closed their services last night at Trinity. There was an immense crowd present. The sermons that have been the features of all the mission services were powerfully delivered, the subjects being the most effective ones. It is stated that seven thousand were brought to the communion rail during the past two weeks. Many had not been there for a term of years. There were a number of conversions, too. The missionaries attracted not only Catholics to the church by the report of their clo- quer.ce and power, but every denomination in town has been largely represented there nightly. In order to even up the crowd, it was thought wise to have special- services for men and special ones for women. At 4 o'clock yesterday was held the last wo- man’s service. The big house of prayer was packed to the doors. > Tonight his eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, will arrive’ at the church and confirm a large number of Trinity's congregation. After taking a week's rest the missionaries will begin .a series of sermons at St. Aloy- sius Church, Washington. Father O'Kane will spend his holiday at the Georgetown College. On the conclusion of the St. Aloy- sius mission Fathers O’Kane, Himmell and Campbell will go to Africa in the cause of Christianity. ‘Temperance Meeting. At the public temperance meeting of Faith Tent, No. ,» Female Branch of the I. O. of Rechabites, yesterday at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall, there was a good-sized crowd in attendance. Mr. R. W. Johnson presid- ed, and a stirring address was delivered by Mr. J. J. Blick. Five persons signed the pledge. The ladies of Umis tent have decided to hold public meetings every Sun- day afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, 10 which the public is cordially invited. Muny Communions. At the Baptist Church here during the present series of revivals there have been fifty-seven conversions and fifteen bap- tisms. A large number have joined the church. Yesterday the revivalist, Mr. Elsom, con- siders the most important day he has had here. In the afternoon there was a iarge attendance of men only, and in the even- ing people were turned away from the church after the galleries and aisles Lad been packed. The sermon’ was on “Sudden Destr tion. He that being often reproved hard- eneth his neck shall suddenly be destroy- ed, and that without remedy. Mr. Elsom read various letters from cities in which he had conducted revivais, in which were cited modern instances of sudden destruction, even among those he had personally known, and who had re- fused to accept the word. Grace Church Rectory. The pastor and vestrymen of Grace Church are maturing their plans for the erection of a rectory. In all probability the house will be ereeted on a part of the present church prcperty, between 2d, K and M streets. The trustees have $3,000 cash on hand for the:purpose. Two-thirds of this amount was given the church through the will of the late Miss Gough, and the balance is what has been saved by the congregation, added to the gifts of Messrs. John Marbury, Geo. T. Dunlop and others, amounting to something over $500. The church managers are also consider- ing the improvement of the churea proper. The proposed rectory will not be an elab- orate building, but one designed principally to accommodate. Grace Church is doing a good work among the surrounding poor. It is in the midst of one of the poorest sections of Georgetown, and in touch with the most deserving. Notes. There is a general belief that Valley street; Georgetown, contains the smallpox case reported to the health department recently. The citizens here, however, who have been informed to the contrary, are anxious to correctly inform the public. Agents report that house renting on Val- ley street has been injured. The afflicted street is in Washington. At the Methodist Churen yesterday morn- ing Rev. Dr. Stitt preached, and in the evening Rev. Dr. Church of the Southern England province spoke. The evenir ‘A Pearl of Great Price.” mon was on There were nine conversions during the day. —— Who is Responsible? To the Editor of ‘The Evening Sta As S. J. M. is confessedly in no position to be familiar with the interior life of a great government department, he is pre- sumably not aware that the “injustices” are on the other side. The cases of “bru- tality” and “indignity” which are some- times vaguely alluded to as existing, but of which a definite instance is never cited, are the fabrications or exaggerations of mal- contents who are dissatisfied because they are expected to render an approximate equivalent for the salary which Uey draw. ‘There are innumerable abuses on the part of these same employes who claim to be unfairly treated which would secure their prompt dismissal if officially reported to the appointing and discharging power. ‘The reading of books and newspapers and at- tending to private correspondence (often on paper which the department pays for) dur- ing office hours, visiting from room to rocm, thus occupying both the time of the visitor and the visited, and disturbing others by the conversation, and feigning illness in order to shirk duty, are direct abuses of daily occurrence. ‘There are indi- fect abuses of an equal, if not greater, ¢ fect upon the efficiency of clerical employes. I refer to the numbers of clerks who alter office hours are engaged in occupations which unfit them for the efficient discharge of their duties in office, who in fact merely make their government positions a personal convenience. And when a conscientious official endeavors to exact from them a nearer approximation to what the depart- ment has a right to expect in return for the salaries that it pays, then there is an underhand whisper of “brutality,” “cruel- ty,” ete. Investigation would probably de- velop the fact that most of the cases of impaired eyesight, if real, are the results of overtaxation outside of office. But if there is any actual case of a su- perior being unnecessarily severe toward an inferior, again I ask: Who on earth compels the inferior to remain in a service where he is subjected to such treatment?

A Suit to Enforce a Trust Against Mr. Needham and Mrs. Chase. Meyer B. Newman has filed a bill in equity to enforce a trust aginst Charles W. Needham and Katherine Chase. It is stated that about September 26, 1592, Mrs. Chase was the owner of a tract of land ncw known as “Edgewood.” On the date mentioned, it is claimed, the land was con- veyed by deed to George D. Wycko%, and the latter, on the same day, conveyed the real estate to Herman Walbridge and Arch- ibald Greenlees to secure an indebtedness to Mrs. Chase of $15,000, represented by a promissory note. Walbridge and Greenlees later released the trust to Charles W.Need- ham. Wyckoff, on November 29, 1893, conveyed the property in question by deed to Need- ham as trustee, according to the bill. While Needham is described in the deed as trus- tee, no trusts are declared therein, but he is given power to convey the lots by sale. On December 5 Needham executed a certain declaration of trust, which was not recorded for more than a year after its execution, Mr. Newman alleges that he is the owner of promissory notes amounting to $3,000 made by Mrs. Chase, and: that while they are not described in the declaration of trust referred to, they were intended. It ig further stated that the trust requires Needham to sell the lots within one year, but he has not done so, and therefore the creditors of Mrs. Chase are unable to se- cure judgment. 3 It is asked that the defendants be re- quired to disclose the contents of any other declaration of trust if there be any, and that trustees be | inte trust described, “PPOmmted to enforce the —.—__ — A Mine of Information. ‘What you don’t know, and want to know, you can instantly find out by referring to The Star's Almanac and Hand Book for 1895.
