A largely attended meeting of the gen- eral fair committee of Naval Lodge, No. 4, F. A. A. M., was held last evening in the banquet hal! of the new temple, corner Pennsylvania avenue and 4th street south- east, to perfect arrangements for the open- img of the fair next Monday night, lith instant. Reports received from the various subcommittees showed the work of prep- aration well advanced, and the prospects for the financial and artistic success of the fair of the brightest. At the regular meeting of the ladies’ auxiliary fair committee tonight the ladies will be assigned to their stations and will immediately enter on the work of put- ting the finishing touches on the booths already in place. This committee is offi- cered as follows: Mrs. P. B. Otterback, chairman; Miss M. W. McCathran, vice chairman, and Miss A. G. McCathran, sec- retary. —_ Divorce Suit Answer. Frederick Walter, a carriage-maker of this city, has made answer to the suit for divorce filed recently against him by Mrs. Jennie E, Walter. Mr. Walter denies the majority of the allegations made by his wife, such as assaulting Per with a pistol, and in turn he states that she has threat- ened to shoot him and is a woman of un- governable temper. It 1s further claimed by the husband that his wife has repeat- edly threatened to poison him, and on one occasion attempted to take his life with a carving knife. ——. Decision Reversed. The Court of Appeals late yesterday afternoon reversed the decision of the lower court In the case of Albert L. Woarms and others, comprising the firm of D. S. Hess & Co. of New York, against Dr. William A. Hammond of this cit. The suit originated ‘over payment for $i6,084.0S worth of furnti- ture and house decorations furnished to Dr. Hammond. An agreement was made that an insurance policy on Dr. Ham- mond’s life should be accepted as security, but im default of payment by a certain date, a Weed of trust was to be given on all his property in the District. The payment, however, was not made at the stipulated time, and later Dr. Hammond offered to give a deed of trust, but neglected to exe- cute it. Then the firm brought suit to re- strain him from transferring the property im question to other persons. The lower court denied the petition, but it is reversed by the Court of Appeals on the grounds that the agreement which Dr. Hammond executed constitutes a lien upon all the real estate he owns in the District. ——— Petition Granted. ‘The Court of Appeals has granted the pe- tition of Frederick T. Miller, who ts under Indictment for violating the gaming laws of the District, for a hearing on an appeal from Judge Cole's recent decision in the Criminal Court overruling the demurrer filed to the indictment in that case. > Going to Atlant: The annual meeting of the Grand Lodge, District No. 5, I.

Some Amendments That Were Offered and Rejected—Others That Were Accepted by Mr. Gorm: ——__ The Senate passed the District appropria- tion bill shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon without any changes having been made in the bill of any consequence. Im- mediately after the failure of the sewer- bond amendment, noted in last evening's Star, Mr. Aldrich called up his amendment utilizing the $100,000 - oposcd to be ap- propriated for a new busiress high school building for the establishment of primary schools. This was rejected in the commit- tee of the whole, but he had demanded a separate vote on it in the Senate. He made a brief speech, in which he quoted a state- ment made by the Federation of Labor of the District, in effect that there are over 10,000 children in the District without school facilities. He disclaimed any idea. of a desire to discontinue the Business High School, but argued that if there are 10,000 children out of school, the money could be more profitably expended on the lower grades than for this new building. Senator Gorman responded to this argu- ment, and after a debate of nearly half an hour Senator Aldrich withdrew his amend- ment, saying that he realized the fact that it was useless for any single member of the Senate to fight the committee on ap- propriations. The committee’s amendment appropriating for the high school building was then finally adopted. The item providing for deficiencies in the firemen’s and police fund by utilizing part of the Police Court fines was then called before the Senate, having been reserved for a separate vote, but after it had been de- bated at some length the objection to it was withdrawn, and the amendment was concurred in by the Senate. Went Out on Points of Order. Mr. Call offered an amendment appro- priating $100,000 for the relief of the indi- gent and destitute people of the District. It was provided that when practicable able- bodied men receiving relief would be re- quired in places where labor is needed for public uses. Mr. Gorman raised a point of order that the appropriation had not been estimated for, and therefore came within the provisions of rule sixteen. Under that rule the Vice President sustained the point of order. Senator Hunton offered an amendment appropriating $14,500.22 to pay Emmart, Dunbar & Co. for work done in connection with laying the thirty-six-inch water main under their contract of September 21, i871. Mr. Allison made the point of order that it was not a oper amendment to the pending bill, as it related to such an old claim that more properly it should go to a deficiency bill. The point of order was sus- tained. Mr. Cullom presented an amendment pro- viding that the chief inspector and assist- ant inspectors of plumbing shall be prac- tical plumbers. After he had argued the point, Mr. Gorman raised the point of order that the amendment changed the existing law, and the Vice President sus- tained Mr. Gorman’s contention. Three Amendments Accepted. In contrast with the whole course of the rest of the day, came the last few minutes of the consideration of the bill, in which three amendments were proposed and actually accepted by Mr. Gorman without points of order having been raised against them. The first of thesé was by Mr. Gal- linger, providing that the supervising sur- geon general of the marine hospital serv- ice shall be associated with the health officer of the District in the distribution of the anti-toxine to be procured under the appropriation carried by this bill. The other amendment was offered by Mr. Chandler, changing the paragraph provid- ing for an investigation by the school board into the industrial feature of the school system. The paragraph originally directed the inquiry to be made “with a view of introducing such changes as may be necessary to enlarge the industrial fea- ture of said schools.” Mr. Chandler's amendment strikes out the words “neces- sary to enlarge,” etc., and inserts the word expedient, so that the paragraph reads: “With a view of introducing such changes as may be found expedien This widens the scope of the inquiry. The other amendment that was accepted was offered by Mr. Hunton, and increases the salary of the timekeeper of the distribution branch of the water department from $800 to $1,000. * The bill was then passed, without having been amended in any material form from the shape in which it came from the com- mittee on appropriations. It now goes in- to conference, with ‘enators Gorm2n, Cockrell and Allison, managers on the part of the Senate, and Representatives Wil- liams, Dockery and Henderson, managers on the part of the House. = Ss A Limited Edition.

Mr. John Humphrey, the well-known Jona- dab, gave a delightful luncheon Monday evening, in honor of the seventeenth anni- versary of his connection with the order of the Sons of Jonadab. The guests of the evening were personal friends and brother members of Spartan Council. Short ad- dresses, appropriate to the occasion, were made by Messrs. John Ryan, John J. Weed, W. W. Wright and B. B. Thompson, the latter being especially felicitous in present- ing to the host a souvenir of the occasion from members of Spartan Council present. Mr. Edgar Busey, one of the junior mem- bers of the order, was taken completely by surprise at receiving from the host and hostess a handsome gold badge, as a token | of their esteem, Mr. R.

Whitney of 925 I street northwest, whose death occurred yester- day, has been a resident of Washington a quarter of a century, coming here from Owego, Y., at the solicitation of her son, Joshua Whitney, at that time one of the leading dealers in real estate. She was also the mother of Mrs. C. H. Fishbaugh of this city, and Mrs. Imbrie, now dece: ed. On account of her retiring disposition and devotion to home Interests her ac- quaintances were somewhat limited, but those who knew her best knew her worth.

The Boston Symphony Concert.—The con- certs of the Boston Symphony Orchestra are always largely attended, for there is no body of musicians that visits this city that compares in popularity with this splendid organization. Its work is so true and accurate and its interpretations so satisfying that each program seems ‘o be more attractive than those which preceded it. Last night’s concert was no exception, either in the size and enthusiasm of the audience or in the pleasure which was de- rived from the program. Beethoven's Sym- phony, No. 8, with which the concert open- ed, is one that is not so frequently heard and it is not so heavy as most of the works of the great composer. Perhaps, on «hat account, it appealed to many of those present more forcibly. At least, each move- ment was heartily applauded. Ruben- stein's Concerto, No. 4, in D minor, for piano and orchestra, is considered one of the severest tests of a pianist’s powers. It was selected by the composer himself for his debut when he visited this coun- try, and it was also the first selection that Paderewski played in this city when he came here with the Damrosch Orchestra. Those who had heard Mrs. Ernest Lent in cencert, «nd had admired her remarkable tecrnique and her artistic phrasing, were hardly prepared for the virile power and splendid work that she put forth in the in- terpretation of this masterly composition. Fesides its technical difficulties this con- certo is a severe tax upon the player’s pow- er of endurance, but Mrs. Lent met all the requirements in the most satisfactory man- ner. Her triumph was complete, and at the conclusion of the third movement she was recalled again and again to bow her ac- krowledgments. Franz Lachner’s suite in D minor and Dvorak's ‘Carnival’ overture, played here for the first time,completed the program. ‘The latter received instant recog- nition, showing, as it did, the rich orches- tration of the composer, as well as his de- scriptive and imaginative powers. Con- dveter Paur has his force under that abso- lute control that is necessary to produce perfect results, and the work of the orches- tra is the exemplification of his careful and intellectual reading. After the concert Mr. and Mrs. Lent entertained quite a large company at their home on Corcoran street, where were Conductor and Mrs. Paur, who Were thus enabled to meet many of Wash- irgton’s musicians and lovers of music. John L. Stoddard’s Lectures.—Public in- terest in the forthcoming series of lectures by John L. Stoddard is fully aroused, and fine audiences are sure to crowd the Academy of Music at every lecture. Paris, the city of the present; Rome, the city of both the present and the past; the maj natural features of Switzerland and Nor- way, all combine to render attractive a series which is fitly supplemented by Mr. Stoddard’s powerful representation of the Passion Play of Ober Ammergau. The elo- quently-spoken word {is to he made doubly interesting by a full collection of new pho- tographic illustrations. The season will open next Monday evening with the lec- ture on Paris. Seats for separate lectures on sale tomorrow. “The Irish Artist."—Chauncey Olcott has now got a play that is said to fit him, haps better than any he has ever tried. “The Irish Artist’ is said to be a clean, clear-cut comedy-drama, overflowing with minor jollity, with pathetic situations in- terspersed to afford a contrast. Of course the interest centers around Mr. Olcott ‘That he fills the bill admirably is the gen: eral verdict. His manner is natural, anc its peculiar charms is {ts unaffectedness. He is rollicking without coarseness, and as tender in his love scenes as one could wish. Mr. Olcott is in excellent voice. His songs are sweet and tuneful, and entirely ap- propriate to the play, into which they fit naturally, “The Irish Artist” is bound to prove a favorite aside from being such an excellent vehicle for Olcott's melodies. The scenery is said to be very handsome, and the costumes and gowns correct for the period in which the play is cast—at the be- ginning of the century. The Grand Opera House. le Bellew appeai Mrs. with Potter suecess at the Grand Opera House last night in is “Francillon.” The stor: one which has done service before us dr: matic material, and which gives an e cellent opening for developing a character sulted to Mrs. Potter. She assumes the role of a woman who, out of pique with her husband, takes pains to compromise herself in his eyes, although really a prover woman. The play is one of the numerous productions based on social problems, and, like many other plays of the kind, succeeds in presenting the problem very clearly without presenting any satisfactory solu- tion for it. Mrs. Potter does some exceed- ingly good work in the leading role, and Mr. Bellew makes the most of the role which falls to his shar New National Theater.—Julia Marlowe- Taber in “Twelfth Night” is one of the standard features of the theatrical world, and she was welcomed warmly at the New ational Theater last night. As Viola she has charmed many. The role is one that is peculiarly adapted to her pleasing staze presence, combined with a somewhat limit- ed though accurate range of emotional expression. Tonight, “As You Like It. Hi Heury’s Mirstrel Troupe.—Hi Henry and his minstrel company of forty per- formers appear at Butler's Bijou next week. His end men are Frank MeNish, J.

This new instrument has just been placed on ex- hiition in the attractive parlors of the Columbia Phonograph:Company, and has been surrounded, since.dts: introduction, ‘by an interested and curious throng. ‘The patron places the ordinary graphophone tubes to his ears, looks through the little window of the kinetophone, and, while he watches the antics of the pickaninnies from “The Passing Show,” hears the lively strains of the orchestra accompaniment in perfect time with the movements of the dancers. In like manner Carmencita may be seen in her characteristic dances, with the accompaniment of Spanish music, so true to life that one can imagine the tap- ping of the castanets comes from the tiny hands waving so gracefully before the eyes of the beholder. The kinetoscope and the graphophone are on exbibition and are constantly being supplied with new scenes and new music, while the addition of the kinetophone increases the throng of vis- itors, who, all day and evening, attest the popularity of the novel exhibition. Dr.O’Gorman on Dante.—The fifth lecture of the series at St. John's College was de- livered yesterday evening by the Very Rev. Dr. O'Gorman, who lectured on “Dante” and his great work, “The Divina Commedia.”” He defined the poet as a secr who paints and sings with words. He re- viewed the life of Dante, described the en- vironments in which the poem was writ- ten. He showed that the poem has two meanings, the one literal, the other alle- gorical. He accompanied Dante and Virgil on their pilgrimage through the world of spirits; explained the principles underlying and actuating many of the chief incidents. He placed the Divina Commedia at the head of all poems composed by man. ‘The next lecture will be delivered on next Tuesday evening by Dr. A. J. Faust, who will deliver an illustrated lecture on “The Leader of the Oxford Movement and His Contemporaries.” English Folly Company.—The Rose Hill English Folly Company will be the attrac- tion at the Lyceum Theater next week.

Charity is the motive for which it will be given here, and the Home for In- curables will be the beneficiary. The young gentlemen who form the club are brimful of talent, and have been so carefully train- ed as to absolutely perfect in their parts. The plot 1s most amusing, the situations absolutely intense, the costumes simply gorgeous and the dancing entrancing. Out- side of all this, it is an opportunity to heip a charity which appeals to all, and which has never appealed in vain. Mrs. Haskell’s Recital._The recital of “David Copperfield” given by Mrs. Fenetta Sargent Haskell a few evenings ago was so greatly admired that a number of her ad- mirers have asked an opportunity to hear her again. Consequently she has decided to give her dramatization of Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables” at the Oxford Hotel next Friday evening at 8:15 o'clock. Tickets may be secured at the Ellis’ music store, the Woodmont and at the door. a The Waggaman Galleries.
