It Marks a New Epoch in the History of the Institution—Its Steady Growth. The reopening service of the Fifte2ath Street Presbyterian Church tomorrow, after its enlargement and other extensive im- provements that have been made to it, records the fourth progressive step in th! @irection during the nearly sixty y history of its existence. It not only marks | @ new era in the history of one of the eld- est Presbyterian churches in the city, but also the wonderful growth of the locality— once a swampy out-lying district and now a valuable and fashionable section. This chureh directly faces McPherson- Square, one of the most charming and beautiful outlooks in the city. The church was established some time in or early forties by Rev. John . Daniel Carroll and Charles Bruce, ent colored men in Washington, by Rey. John C. Smith of the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Dr. hers and others interested in Chris. work among colored citizens. For Y years services were held in a small frame building situated on the northeast corner of 1ith and H streets. Here also Was a private school for coJored children, taught by Rev.

Stoddard enters upon the last week of his stay at the Academy ef Music. During this week he has had splendid audiences, who have journeyed with him through the streets of Paris and among the glories of the Alps. Still greater treats are in store for his audiences of next week. On Mon- day evening he will for the last time the wonderfuj sights of Rome, a city which, perhaps, is more completely filled with ev- erything to interest and thrill t itor than any other in the world, ancient or modern. Tuesday and Wednesday even- ings will be devoted to the wonderful ex- periences which the tray through Nor- tud ev le way 2njoys, and which, whether in ing the curious Laplan in the surrounded by their reindeer, or with awe at the unique spectacle of midnight sun, fill the days with novelty: ursday and Friday evenings will be that most touching and affecting of ures, that on the “Passion Piay of Ober Ammergau.” It is simply impossibie to provide room for the great numbers who crowd to hear this lecture, with its won- rful illustrations, in every city. It has n heard already by more than one hun- dred and fifty thovsand people. But, order to afford all the accommodation po: sible, there will be two extra occasions at which this lecture will be given the final matinee next Saturday and at M Stoddard’s farewell appearance next Sat- urday evening. As on both these extra o casions there will he no course tickets out they offer unusual chances to secure the best seats.

A grand holiday matinee will be given on Washington's birthday, and souvenir matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. very lady attending will be given a photocraph of Ada Eothner in character as Teddy. Kernan’s Lygeum Theater.—When a vau- deville organiZation contains so much real talent as the New York Stars, which comes to Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week, it cannot help but be appreciated by the lov- ers of refined variety. The company is cempesed of European as well as American artists, who have been selected especially for this organization by.Mr. Gus _ Hill, its projector, whose skill in this line has been acquired only by years of experience. In the company are the Romolo Brothers, famous English acrobats, from the Palace ‘Theater, London; Mme. Flora, the sensa- tional electric dancer, from the Folli Bergeres, Paris; the Crane Brothers, ec- centric character comedians; C. W.

There will be a special mati- nee Friday, February 22 (Washington's birthday). Lehigh Banjo Club Concert.—Lehigh Unt- versity and its many friends and admirers in this city have reason to be proud of the highly creditable entertainment furnished by the University Glee and Banjo Clubs to a select and fashionable audience at Metze- rott Hall last night. The program was de- Nghtfully interesting, and, of course, all the numbers were encored. Every one in with pleasure. evening | | | | | music selected was calculated to demon- strate their careful training and superior abilities; the numbers as a rule were not the hilarious college songs which are gen- erally expected from college clubs, but were glees of more musical merit, and the club sang with excellent shading and effect. The banjo club was especially fine, and well merited the unstinted applause with which its renditions were greeted. Y¥. M. C. A. Entertainment.—Mrs. Flor- ence Russell Lyon and Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-Cliff delighted a large crowd last evening at the Friday night entertainment of the Y. M. C. A., held in the association parlors. The rooms were filled to the doors and scores were turned away for lack of room. Mrs. Shir-Cliff sang the Indian bell song from “Lakme,” “Were I. Gardner, “"Twas April’ and Sapio’s “Spring Song’ in her splendid manner. Mrs. Lyon gave seven numbers, including a selection from Ben Hur descriptive of the watch of the shepherds on the first Christmas, and the | Passage from David Copperfield telling cf the flight of little Emily. Her work was well received and heartily applauded. Other parts on the program were a piano solo by Miss Amy Clement Leavitt and a violin solo by Mr. S. E. Ingly. Next Friday night the entertainment will consist of a lecture by Maj. George H. Harries on “George Washington,” appropriate to the occasion, the Aay being February 22.

Miller, tenor; Mr. Elphonzo Youngs, jr., basso and cornetist; Miss Marie Collins, elocutionist, together with Mr. Otis Swett and Dr. J. W. Bischoff, organists.

The operas selected are those which appeal to the musical taste of the ccmmunity, and also which enable the artists to be heard to the best advantage. In “Lohengrin” Nordica will sing Elsa; in “Otello” the great tenor, Tamagno, will the equally great baritone, Maurel, will be heard; in “Faust” there will be Melba, Sealechi and the two De Reszkes, and in “Manon” Sybil Sanderson will be heard bere for the first time. Yisaye, the Violinist.—Tonight another famous violin virtuoso will visit the city and appear at Metzerott Hall before his st Washington audience. This is Mr. Sugene Ysaye, who is _heralded~as the test violinist living. He will be assisted gre by Aime Lachaume, who visited this city last winter with Marteau, and who made such a favorable impression as an accompanist.

She will be assisted by Miss Jennie O'Neill Potter, the most successful monologist now before the pub- lic: Prof. Mariano Maina, the Franz Abt Club and Prof. Wm. Waldecker.
