A special committee of the Columbia Heights Citizens’ Association has presented for the consideration cf the Senate subcom- mittee on the District appropriation bill a petition numerously signed by residents of Columbia Heights and Pleasant Plains praying for the improvement of streets in that section. The petitioners specially ask for the improvement next year of Roanoke, Irving, Yale, Bismarck and _ Princeton streets. The widening of the lower end of Sherman avenue and the extension of Clif- ton street to Sherman avenue are also urged. These improvements were recom- mended by the Commissioners in their estimates, but they were omitted from the House bill. The estimated cost of the work @ggregates about $0,000, es Death of George E.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Keeping Up the Charity Work in the West End. Many Confirmed by the Cardinal— Continued Success of the Revivals —Other Notes of Intérest. ‘The house-to-house canvassers fcr charity began their work today, leaving printed re- quests for contributions at every comfort- able-looking home. Tomorrow the collec- tions will be made. The movement has met with splendid favor, and in all probability will prove highly successful in the West End. The town has been divided into two sections first and then subdivided. That portion east of 32d is in charge of Mr. Geo. W. King, and that portion west under the supervision of Dr. Ritchie and his assist- ants. Mr. King has placed his assigned terri- tory in the hands of assistants, they scour- ing it well for money, food, clothes and all things useful and needed by the destitute, and reporting to him. He will report on the result to the central committee. Mr. King’s assistants are as follows: Messrs. H. P. Gilbert, Joseph H. Bradley, Wm. C. Looker, R. A. Casilear, Upton B. Mackall, Wm. Woodville, jr., Cadwalder Woodville, Thos. J. Stanton and J. Barton Miller. Dr. Ritchie's assistants are prominent and able. All are well known to the whole town, which will work te their advantage and to the advamMage of the pccr. The house-to- house canvass last year brought in nearly $1,000 from Georgetown in cash, and a vast amount of miscellaneous things. Bulky packages may be sent to the office of R.A. Casilear, 1325 32d, the office of the First Co-operative Building Asscciation, or the Georgetown pest office. Justice Davis, the secretary of the first division of Associated Charities, does not believe that at present there is one case cf suffering from hunger or cold in this section, so effectively have the charitable crganizations and individuals worked here. If there is a case of actual want within the town’s limits there is no reason for its ex- istence.- Georgetown has responded most nobly to the :ause, and the distributions from the judge’s office, from the station house and Various otber charitable ‘lispens- aries here have been and are steady and judicially abundant. Confirmation Clauss. Cardinal Gibbons last night confirmed at Trinity. Over one hundred and eighty re- ceived the sacrament. The class comprised men and women, both white ani colored. The cardina. was assisted last night by the pastor of Trinity, Rev. Father Scanlan, and the missionaries who have just cot pleted their labors there, viz: Fathers Him- mell, Campbeil and O'Kane. It was through the mission of these fathers that these one hundred and eighty-two were brought to the confirmation rail. Baptist Revival. The Baptist revival last night increased the number of conversions to sixty-thr and the new church members to thirty- five. Mr. Elsom sermonized on John iti:16 —"'God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son.” On Wednesday even- ing there will be nearly twenty-five bap- tisms. Cortractor Dergnon, who constructed the trestle work for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad between the canal and river, and extending westward from the Aqueduct bridge, was in town yesterday, making pre- liminary arrangements for the resumption of work on the Baltimore and Ohio's Me- tropolitan southera branch, which extends from Linden station, on the Metropolitan stem, across the Bethesda country to the Chain bridge and thence into Virginia, after sending a stem to Georgetown over the trestle work. He will take up the con- struction again about March 1, and prom- ises to complete it. The railroad company, it is understood, is now anxious to get into town, and, having the opportunity, will at once take advantage of It. Heber Tent. Heber Tent of Rechabites held a large meeting last nigit. Three members were initiated, and addresses were made by Messrs. Berry of Anacostia, Wise, Lowe, Johrson and others. A Rechabite bgnquet was a feature of the evening. age ey Chosen Friends. American Council, No. 2, held a large and spirited meeting Friday evening.

Stewart; prelate, Mrs. G. W. Callahan; marshal, Edw. C. A. Van Horn; guard,John F. Caslow. The ceremony wus conducted by Grand Secretary Geo. P. Newton, who delivered an address upon the good of the order. Remarks upon same subject were also made by Pact Councilor John W. Jones of Penn Council. Garfield Council reported largest gains for past term, while Mystic Coureil closely followed. Potomac Council reported increased activity, with prospects of taking the lead in this order here. Cheer- ing reports of the success of the crder else- where were made by the deputy supreme councilor. The fraternal feature of the order was -discussed at length, and the meeting proved to be one of the most en- joyable of the season. Open meetings, to which the public will be invited, will be held in the near future. ————EE A Curiosity. Mr. S. B. Taylor, jr., living at the corner of Ehode Island avenue and 7th street northwest, is the owner of a rare curiosity. This is no less than a fish about an inch and a half long, which, to all appearances, was a trout, and was found in an oyster shell by Mr. Taylor, who obtained it among a number of others at the oyster wharf a few days ago. When the shell was first opened the fish was in a condi- tion much resembling that df a raw oyster, but since being placed in alcohol it Las hardened, and now appears like a fish in every particular. The fish with the oyster shell has been shown to the officers of the Medical Museum, and they, Mr. Taylor says, pronounced the specimen to be un- like anything ever before brought to their notice. The fish and its former covering will be presented to the Medical Museum by Mr. Taylor in a few day: poe ane To Go to Maine. Upon order of Judge Hagner, acting in the absence of the chief justice of the Su- preme Court of the District of Columbia, Lem Hutchins, alias John Smith, who is wanted in Androscoggin county, Me., to answer a charge of breaking, entering and larceny, was today turned over to Fred- erick L. Odlin, agent of the state. ge Importsnt Announcement. A change in the date of sale and exhibi- tion of elegant European goods at Dowling & Co.'s art galleries, Gl2 E street.

AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House.—"His Grace de Grammont” proved to be a very pretty and satisfactory piece of dramatic work, and those who braved the storm to see the play at Albaugh’s—more than were to be expected on such a night—were amply re- warded for their courage. Clyde Fitch is daintily satisfactory in all that he does, and while he has in “His Grace de Gram- mont” developed a plot of some romantic force, the true charm of the play is in the cleverness of the lines, the shrewdness of the satire and the completeness of the pictures of the people and manners of the time of Charles II. The wit is courtly, the superficial polish and the moral crudities of the period are faithfully reproduced. The play is full of opportunities for an actor or actress to make a lasting impres- sion on the minds of the audience. Many of these opportunities are neglected. In some instances the lines are read with a care which suggests the best intentions on the part of the player and a patient en- deavor to carry them out, but the ready enthusiasm in speech or gesture and the charm of naturalness are not always there. ‘The play ts beautifully costumed, and it is throughout a most conscientious produc- tion. Mr. Otis Skinner has long been favorably known through his connection in important capacities with prominent dramatic organizations. He is fortunate in securing a play so well written and so well in touch with the prevailing taste as “His Grace.” Mr. Skinner—who is possibly to be commended for not yielding to a silly school-girl prejudice in favor of lan- guishing names for leading men—displays the devotion and care to his work that is almost sure to win enduring success. The demanés of a role like that of “His Grace” are by no means slight, and Mr. Skinner was-at no time deficient, and was par- ticularly strong in the purely romantic passages. New National Theater.—“A Texas Steer” has paid more visits to Washington, and with more gratifying results to company, manager and public, than any other of the many works of Mr. Charles Hoyt. But at every former visit Mr. Tim Murphy, him- self a Washingtonian, has been the central figure in the play, and to see “A Texas Steer’’ without him in the leading role was a surprise. Mr. Woodward, who assumed the part of Maverick Brander, is a come- dian of considerable merit, however, and cen afford to stand on his own abilities. His conception of the member from Texas is different from that of Mr. Murphy, and he is more boisterous in its development. Still, he was well received, and he de- served the applause given him. The com- pany is adequate, most of the members being those who have become identified with this particular play. Academy.—If the weather bureau has anything in stock much worse than what it gave out last night, the theater goers of this bailiwick don’t want to see it. Not- withstanding, at the Academy there was very nearly a full house to see Charles H. Hopper present for the first time on any stage Leonard Grover and Clay M. Greene's romantic Irish comedy, “The Vale of Avoca.”” The play is in four acts, one in Ireland and three in America, and while it is not a great play, it contains those ele- ments of love and music which will make it extremely popular as a road play. The piece opens in tne Vale of Avoca, at Mrs. Brennan's (Miss Annie Ward Tiffany) cot- tage, where Percy Gray (Hugo Toland) of- fers £500 for a gold .nine in Colorado owned hy the Brennans. Father Dolan (Neill O’Brien) doubts the propriety of selling at that price, but Nellie Brennan (Miss Annie Haines), who has fallen in love with Gray, insists that he is truthful and honest,when Danny Farrell (Mr. Hopper), the usual good fairy of the Irish play, appears nd sees in Gray a villain of his acquaintance of thir- teen years ago, when he left a woman and a blind child to drown because they were in his way. Danny had saved this baby, Grace they called her (Miss Rose Tiffany), and didn’t forget the villain. Nellie runs away with him to America just the same and almost breaks the heart of Danny who loves her so. Seven years later, act they are all in Colorado, where Danny re- stores Grace to ner long-lost papa, finds Nellie, broken-hearted end deserted, in a lunatic asylum, shut up there by Gray be- eause she was in his way; runs Gray to earth, or to a snowbank rather, where he is found frozen; gets back the Brennan claim, worth several millions, and the cur- tain goes down on a scene ef comfort, Christmas contentment. Mr. Hopper is a very attractive Irish lad with three pretty soags, one of them, “Darling Nellie,” being a genuine Irish melody. Miss Tiffany is a wholesome Irish woman, Miss Haines grows handsomer by her troubles, Miss Rose Tiffany is a pretty blind girl, Percy Gray is an average villain and the various other characters incidental to the play, in- cluding the Indians, are up to the require. ments, though the Indians need more prac- tice. Incidentally there is a mine explosion in the third act and the curtain goes down en a scene that shakes the whole house into thunders of applause. Butler's Bijou Theater.—The disagreeable weather of last night had no terrors for the patrons of Butler’s Bijou Theater, and a large audience greeted James Mackle’s roaring farce comedy company in the “Side Show.” The farce is on a par with many others of like build, being barren of plot, but possessing numerous enjoyable humor- ous points, which were taken full advan- tage of by the strong company. Mr. Mackie has a style wholly his own, and fits into farce like a perfect-fitting glove. His specialties were encored time after time with more than usual warmth. The sup- porting company is a good one, and every one had a chance to display individual ability in taking specialties. Miss Louise Sanford looked pretty, and scored heavily as the parachute jumper, the ascension be- ing quite novel and taking. The scenery carried by the “Side Show” is more than usually elaborate, and served to give a realistic fiavor to all the scene: In the “Prodigal Father’’ company which will play at Manager Butler's house next week are two Washington girls—Elsie Lower and Miss Thorn. Little Miss Lower is quite an artist, is a great favorite in the city, and the major part of the house has already been reserved for next Monday night for her friends. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Gus Hill's Novelty Company proved a magnet last night at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater that the horrible weather could not draw against, and as a result a large audience crowded into the popular play house. ‘The attrac- tion is a straight variety one. Not a weak spot was developed in the entire bill, and from the rising to ihe falling of the final curtain novelty after novelty followed each other in quick succession. The act of Hacker and Lester, an acrobatic bicycle performance, caught the house, and really made the hit of the evening. The French singing and dancing of the Les Vonjer proved new and taking, and received two encores. Others on the bill who did good work are Miss Alice Montague and John Royer West, Wilis and Halpin in songs and dances, Miss Estelle Wellington, Billy Car- ter, Nelson and Milledge, Swan and Bam- bard, Dryden and Mitchell and the great favorite, Gus Hill, whose marvelous per- formance with Indian clubs has lost none of its drawing powers or popularity. The performance closed with a riproaring farce, rahe everybody away with a contented mind. The C. C Course.—Most lecturers of note appear more or less times in Washington. Will Carleton has done so again and again, winning fresh laurels each time. He re- turns once more this year, and will give the last evening of the “C. C.” Course at Metzerott Hall, Thursday evening next, when he will present one of his poem- lectures, entitled, “Better Times.’ Carle- ton’s lectures are not dull pieces of poetry, delivered in a monotonous tone, but bright and sparkling, full cf the hits on the times, <nd read as none but this brilliant author can read. The sale of seats is now in progress at Metzerott’s music store. Metzerott Music Hall.—One of Washing- ton’s young rising musical organizations, the Washington Lady Quartet,will be heard at Metzerott Music Hali tomorrow night. This quartet has only recently come into notice by the clever rendition of both har- monized selections and part songs, and its many friends will doubtless turn out in force to support it. Mr. Hugh Saxon, en- tertainer, will assist the quartet. now on sale at Metzerott's. Carroll Institute Hall.—An entertainment is to be given in Carroll Institute Hall to- morrow evening for the benefit of the Home of the Sisters of Mercy, 232 North Capitol street, by the pupils of the Holy Cress Academy. It is to be hoped that a great many will take advantage of this op- portunity to support such a worthy object as this entertainment has in view, as the doors of this institution are open to all, re- gardless of religious belief. The sisters are now prepared to take in plain sewing for the benefit of those who have lost their positions. Bostcn Symphony Orchestra.—The Boston Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Emil Paur, con- ductor, will give its next concert (tho last but one of its series) at Metzerott Hall next Tuesday evening. The organization will have the assistance of Mrs. Ernst Lent in a program embracing Beethoven's sym- phony in F major, Rubinstein’s concerto for pianoforte in D minor, Lachner’s suite Seats in D minor, No. 1g and Dvorak’s overture “Carnival,” for the fimst time. Miss Jennie O'Neill sPotter.—Miss Jennie O'Neill Potter, the well-known monologue artiste, will give two svenings and a mati- nee at Metzerott Music Hall. The dates are: Evening of february 7, when “Which?” a mamolegue platform play written for Miss Potter by Chas. Barnard, the well-known playwright, author of “The County Fair,” will be produced for the first time; February 9, matinee, “A Letter From Home” and *‘Orange Blossoms” and miscellaneous readings; evening of Feb- ruary 11, “Flirts anduMatrons,” the popu- lar monologue drama, by Robt. Griffen Mcrris, will be given, when ‘‘How Salvator Won” and the “Volunteer Organist” will be introduced. Season tickets are now on sale at Metzerott’s. “The Holy Child*’—“The Holy Child,” an illustrated lecture by Rev. Samuel Domer, under the auspices of the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor, will be de- livered in St. Paul’s English Luthzran Church, corner 11th and H streets north- west, tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. The lectures delivered by Dr. Domer several years ago are no doubt fresh in the minds of many, and in this new one an interest- ing treat is promised all who may attend. Schumann Lady Quartet.—It required the promise of more than an ordinary program to induce the large audience which greeted the Schumann Lady Quartet last night at the Calvary Baptist Sunday school build- ing away from the comforts of home; the program made the promise, and while it was not followed, the numbers eubstituted more than kept its word. Ihe quartet con- sists of Mary D. Hall, first soprano; Ma- bella Waller, second soprano; Katherine Jones, first contralto, and Tille Heuchling, second contralto, whose voices blend to- gether acceptably, and while all of the quartet numbers were of the popular char- acteristic order, considerable intelligence was shown in, the 4inique treatment of some of them. Solo numbers were fur- nished by Katherine Jones, Mary D. Hall, who sang Bischoff’s “Good Night, Sweet Dream: Mabella Waller and Tille Heuch- ling. The elocutionist, Miss Jessie G. Pat- ton, made a most favorable impression,and her work displayed the unusual faculty of marked proficiency in several dialects, as was shown in the Irish of ‘‘Little Jerry,” the Scotch of the tender “Cuddle Doon” and the plantation negro in “The One- legged Goose.” Miss Patton’s work formed an enjoyable part of an interesting pro- gram. ——— DR. BARTLETT'S SUCCESSOR. It is Stated That the Committee Has Not Made a Chotce. A press dispatch from Indianapolis dated yesterday, states that Kev. J. A. Milburn of the Second Presbyterian Church of that city has been called to the New York Ave- nue Presbyterian Church of city. On tehalf of the committee appointed by the ngregation to recommend a pastor it was dcnied today that the Indianapolis dispatch Was correct. It was further said that the committee had not yet made a choice. Death of Mins Miss Emily Farquhar Hyde, daughter of the late Anthony Hyde, who was W. W. Corcoran’s business confidante and later one of his executors, and sister of Mr. ‘Thomas Hyde of Riggs & Company, bank- ers, died last night at the old family home, 1319 30th street. Miss Hyde's death was not unexpected. She had been failing for a long time and for the past three months was confined closely to her room. Death resulted from 1 general breaking down. Deceased was a most devout Christian. Frem her early teens she was active ir church work. At St: John’s she sang in the choir for years and in all movements for physical and spiritual betterment of the poor was amang the Jeaders. Miss Hyde's death leaves Mr. Thos. Hyde the sole mem- ber of the Anthony Hyde family. This is the centennial year: of the Hydes. Just one hundred years ago they established themselves in Georgetown, where they soon became numbered among the prominent families. The funeral of Miss Hyde w take place tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Buck, the pastor of St. John’s, where the services will be held, will officiate. The interment will be private. — Students Debate. At a debate last evening by the Wood's College Debating Society, on the question of whether or not saloons should be abol- ished, the affirmative was upheld by Miss Langham and Mr. igar Merritt, while Messrs. Petz and Wyatt represented the negative. The debate was won by the af- firmative. During the evening a recitation was given by Miss Hepner. = Clean Of the To the Editor of The Evening Star: Now that this great sncw-fall is upon us, will not The Star, in the interest of the citizens, especialiy of those obliged to go on foot, urge the enforcement of the ordinance for cleaning sidewalks? The police are said to have power to enforce such a law, but it is more noticeable in the breach than in the cbservance. Three corners of the block where I live are never cieaned, and walk- ing past them fs rendered extremely diffi- cult and unpleasant, especially whenever a thaw sets in. It ought also to be demanded that each person clear a diéch in front of luis sidewalk for the melted snow to run off, and thus avoid the lakes and rivers which are so dreaded every time St thaws. The owners of corner houses ought to be cbliged to clean their ditch all along their curbstones, and thus prevent the accumu- lation of water at the crossings. M. ee Cheshire Convicted and Sentenced. Augustus Cheshire, alias Augustus Skin- ner, a colored man, was tried yesterday before Judge Cole, in Criminal Court No. 2, for assault with intent to kill a lad named James Carter, by shooting him while in a rifle gallery on l4th street on November 10 last. The jury returned a verdict of guilty of assault and battery, and the court sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment in the District jail for eleven months and twenty-nine days and to pay a fine of $250.

Work of the Police and Collector's Office Up to Date. In reply to the request for information forwarded to the Commissioners by the Dockery commission, Maj. Moore, super- intendent of police, hrs reported that the work of his office is not in arrears, not- withstanding the fact that only two clerks and one stenographer are allowed by law to this department. It is true, however, that to keep up the work it has been neces- sary to detail four policemen to assist in office duty. Mr. E. G. Davis, collector of taxes, re- ports that the counter work of his office must be kept up, but to accomplish this it has been necessary for the force to work after hours for weeks at a time. Assessor Trimble has reported that the routine work of ris office is up to date. ga ee ee Monarch Temple.

Aull; Col. Cross, J. W. Ken- nedy and Mr. Morningstar, were met at the Baltimore and Ohio station by a com- mittee from Monarch Temple of this city and conducted to the temple hall, where Miss Stella Bates of Baltimore was duly initiated into the mysteries of the degree. Monarch Temple has the reputation of ex- celling in the ritualistic work and not- withstanding it was the beginning of a new term, and scme of the officers had never before taken part inthe initiatory ceremonies, yet throughout the opening, closing and initiatory ceremonies but one error was found by the supreme chief. The following officers of Monarch Temple offi- 2d: P. T., Mrs. Armbruster; N. T., Gooding; V. T., Mrs.Warfield; Proph., Collingsworth; priest, Mrs. Antrim; M. of C., Mrs. Deckman; G. of R. eitentha Mrs. Bauman; G. of I. P., Mrs. G. of O. P., Mrs. Randolph., Washingtor Tempie, No. 1, and America Temple, No. 2, were present in a body, and assisted materially in entertaining the visitors from Baltimore. After the exercises were con- cluded, speechmaking was indulged in by Supreme Chief J. H. Aull and Noble Tem- plar Annie R. Kennedy of Baltimore Tem- ple, and Comparions Thompson, Houstoa and Herfuth of this city, after which all present repaired to the cafe of the Saen- gerbund Club, where the time was divided between festivities and edibles until the hour of departure, when the line of march was formed and the Baltimore visitors es- certed to the depot. Monarch Temple, No. 2, of Washington, D. C., was chosen to ex- emplity the work out of about one hundred temples, and to be selected by the supreme head of the order to perform this work, under such circumstances, is an honor of which Monarch Temple, No. 2, may justly feel proud. sintedeneleteteletetett sdeneneetetetete Sontontestontontens Seeaeesentoeteetetontortentons Soeteege POWDER Absolutely Pure. sSondoageetoetect Set Setetess é A cream of tartar baking pow- + Ger.
