Harries of The Evening Star was the center of interest last even- Ing at a parlor talk held under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. “George Washington” was the subject se- lected by the association for Mr. Harries, and he dealt with it in a highly interest- ing and original manner, dwelling on cer- tain periods and phases of the life of Wash- ington seldom touched upon. The audi- ence was large and enthusiastic, and ap- parently greatly enjoyed the talk. —_—>— The Golden Cross. At the meeting of Meridian Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, last evening, Noble Commander E. C. Johnston presided. One application for membership was presented and the degrees were con- ferred in the most impressive manner on three candidates. There was a large at- tendance, embracing visitors from Hal- eyon, Goodwill, Mount Vernon and Nation- al Commanderies. Under the gocd of the order an interesting reading was given by Carl T. W. Bergmann. Miss Adelaide Payne of Godwill Commandery, of the committee on the Golden Cross library, announced that the book reception of Goodwill, Meri- dian and Haleyon Commanderies would be held in the citadel of Meridian Command- ery on March §, and that the final arrange- ments would be made at a meeting of the full committee at the meeting of Goodwill Commandery on Monday evening next. The commandery voted to hold the next regu- lar meeting on the fourth Friday in March, when the degrees will be conferred. An in- vitation from Trinity Commandery to at- tend its second anniversary, on Tuesday evening next, was accepted. ———__ ‘The Satarday Lectures. ‘The usual Saturday lectures, complimen- tary to the citizens of Washingtun, begin tomorrow. Two courses are arranged, one om anthropology, the second on geology. The first lecture of the course on anthro- pology will be by the well-known anthro- pologist, Major J. W. Powell, on “What Is Demonomy?" This lecture will be followed @ week later by one on “Human Growth,” by Dr. Franz Boas, and on succeeding Saturdays Vice Presidents Ward, McGee und Cushing will speak for the Anthro- pological Society on themes pertaining to the wock of their respective sections. The geologic course wil! comprise a history of the development of the North American continent from the earliest period to the ‘The lecturers in that course are R. Van Hise of the University of Hon.

Demarest and Dr. Austin O'Malley, a medical sanitary in- spector of the heaith office, Health Officer Woodward has reported to the Commis- sioners that reports of recovery from con- tagious diseases are not conclusive evi- dence. Dr. Woodward decides also that it is within the province of the medical sani- tary inspector, acting upon due authority, to examine the patient, although it is not always practicable to see the patient with the attending physician. A bacteriological examination, says the health officer, is not @ prerequisite to the attending physician's fssvance of a certificate of recovery, al- though where no such examination is made it Is impossible to determine when the patient ceases to be dangerous.

Demarest and O'Malley arose over what the former termed was “a case of gross offical and ul misconduct” on the part of r in insisting upon examining a e lat patient of Dr. Demarest’s who had been Pronounced cured by Dr. Demarest. It is stood that Dr. Demarest will lay the matter before the District Medical Society, although the health officer considers that Dr. OM y simply performed his re- quired duties.

Rev. Dr. Stafford Reads the Farewell . Sickles Makes The Department of the Potomac, G. A. R., celebrated Washington's birthday last night by holding patriotic services at the Metropolitan church. The interior of the edifice was decorated with bunting and Grand Army emblems, the gala appearance being increased by the uniforms of the members of the Grand Army present. The Marine Band was in attendance, and, to- gether with the Grand’ Army Musical Union, rendered apropriate music. The services opened with invocation by the Rev. Hugh Johnston, after which De- partment Commander Nathan Bickford submitted a few introductory remarks. He said that one of the principal objects of the G. A. R. is to foster the divine in- stincts of patriotism. With this view it was the policy of the organization to hold aloft the name of Washington as a noble example of what the statesman, soldier and citizen should be. Only a few men in each century survive in history, but the name of Washington gathers new luster and re- nown us time goes on. Mr. Bickford introduced the Rev. Dr. Stafford, who read the farewell address of Washington. At the conclusion of it Mr. Stafford sala he had been asked to add a few words, but he realized that to attempt such a thing would be to gild refined goid, to paint the lily or throw a perfume upon the violet. He said he hoped that the spirit of Washington, so broad, so Amer- ican, so true and so conformable to reason, might descend into the hearis of all Amer- ican citizens and public officials, so that, according to his prayers, America may have the choicest of heaven's blessings. Gen. Sickles’ Address. Gen. Dan Sickles was then introduced. The immense audience applauded and cheered him as he strode to the front of the rostrum upon his crutches. He said it is a pleasure to address the Department of the Potomac, because it is the most repre- sentative organization of its kind in the United States. This arises from the fact that it contains in its membership represen- tatives of more regiments, brigades and cerps then any other department. He an- nounced his hesitancy to attempt an elabo- rate address, and said the characteristics and achievements of Washington are so familiar to every American as to make it unnecessary to dwell upon them. He said this government was founded by gentie- men, men of culture, of intergrity, of a high sense of honor and devouon to law and order. A government thus founded by a body of cultured gentlemen wouid na- tcrally produce institutions wherewith liberty and love of order are associated. Avarchists and socialists had no audience in those times; this government was not established for those people, and the soon- er they find it out and go somewhere else the better it shall be for them: As to Washington, the Americans are hero-worshipers and our admiration tor Washington now approaches adoration, There are two Washingtons, the real and the ideal. The real Washington can be held up to the emulation of our youth, but the ideal is unapproachable. The real Washington was a man of passion, he toved his friends and haied his enemies, and was abused like a pickpocket by the partisans of his town. The ideal Wash- ington is simply a model of perfection. There is no advantage in this continual idealization of human character. if Washington had not been human, as he was, he could not have fultiiled his mission. It is well to blend with the virtues of men some of their weakresses and by this means they ure capable of being emulated. Pensioners and Their Treatment. Turning to the subject of the soldier,Gen. Sickles seemed more at home. He said a soldier with an honorable discharge has @ patent of nobility, which renders him worthy of the best this country can give. He paid high tribute to the soldiers of the late war and deplored the fact that they are vanishing rapidiy. Twenty-five years hence it will be hard to realize that im the year 1805 there were 900,000 of them and their widows upon the pension rolis. The chronicler of those times will write that in 1895 when these heroes were upon earth and drawing pensions the government of that day found it necessary to employ 300 or 400 detectives to scour the country to find frauds, not being willing to believe that there were so many real heroes on hand. Gen. Sickles made many sarcastic references to the administration of the pen- sion laws and the treatment of the old soldiers and his speech was loudly ap- plauded. The services of the evening closed with music by the band and benediction by the Rev. J. D. Smith. —_——_—_ AMUSEMENTS. Verdi's “Otello.”—An audience not quite so large in numbers, but far more demon- strative in its enthuslasm, assembled in the Grand Opera House last night, the sec- ond in the all too brief season of Italian opera. It w2s Italian opera last night, too, for the attraction was Verdi's “Otello,” heard for the first time in this city. When Verdi began to feel the influence of the modern school of music he turned from purely romantic themes and sought those affording greater action, more intense feel- ing and wider effects. ‘Aida’ was the first evidence of his change of thought and method, and then came “Otello,” and more recently “Falstaff."* “Aida” has been sung here many times, but last night was the first time that “Otello” had been presented in Washington, and it is to be regretted that Mr. Abbey did not give “Falstaff” at one of this season's performances. How- ever, it is to be hoped that the success of this splendid company may induce a longer stay the next time it comes here. It takes @ company fully as great and complete as that of Mr. Abbey to properly present “Otello,” for not only must the three lead- ing characters have good singers, but ac- tors as well. Interest centered last night in Tamagno, who sang the title role. It is unusual to expect a tenor to possess high dramatic y experience to cover such period | powers, but in Tamagno they are develop- ed in an eminent degree. His voice seems to be limitless as to range and power, and it has a vibrant quality that in its more intense and passionate work thrills the hearer. It pulses with his action and com- pels admiration. From his first appear- ance, when he quelled the quarrel and dis- missed Cassio, until the last mournful wail of remorse at tue murder of his wife and the suicidal close of his m life, Tamagno held thé attention of his audience and dominated the stage when he was present. Hardly less glorious was the work of Maurel, the great baritone, as Iago. He gave to the character all the crafty cynic- ism and villainy that it demanded and proved himse.f a thorough and artistic actor. He sang the music in excellent method and spirit, and his rich, resonant voice, although it is past its prime and is rather weak in the extremes, filled the ear in the most grateful manner. He and Tamagno are the two best actors that have ever been seen on the operatic stage here, and both seem peculiarly fitted for the respective roles they assumed last night. Mme. Emma Fames’ Desdemona was an ideal representation. She is a_ beautiful woman, aud she looked to perfection the Veritian maiden, who turned from all the suitors of her own social circle, and lavisH- ed the wealth of her affection upon the Moorish general. She sarg the part .ex- quisitely, using her pure and sympathetic soprano with consummate skill and effect. When she there were those who felt that she lacked feeling and sympathy in her work, but those who heard her last night could bring no such accusation, for throughout every note was true, sympathetic and artistic. | Perhaps the best individual work Mme. Eames did was the “Ave Maria” in the est act. Mme. Mantell’s Emilia and M. Mau- gulere’ sio were both excellently sung and acted and the well trained chorus sus- tained its part with good effect. The or- chestration tn “Otello” is rich in melodic and dramatic effects, and its beauties were fully brought out by the force under Sig. Mancinelli’s centrol. Altogether the opera was even more en- joyable than that of the previous night, for the work had the charm of novelty, and it was thoroughly Italian in flavor. People went to hear Italian opera by an Italian company and they got it. Washingtonians was here in concert last spring | are glad that they have heard “Otello” in- terpreted by such great artists, and in such a perfect manner,and will eagerly look for- ward to the next opportunity to hear this great work of the greatest living exponent of the Italian school. ‘This afternoon “Faust,” tuneful and ever popular, is being given with Melba, Scalchi, Jean de Reszke and Plancon in the cast, and tonight the season will close with Mas- senet’s opera, “Manon,” introducing Sybil Sanderson with a competent cast. Grand Opera House.—Eugene Tompkins’ magnificent ballet spectacle, “The Black Crook,” with many new features, will begin a week’s engagement at the Grand Opera House next Monday night. Since this attraction appeared here last sea- son the scenery has all been repainted and everything brightened up. Its current revival surpasses in interest the brillant precedent it established at this fine house last season. The costumes are new and ia dazzling variety of design. Lawrence Mc- Carty is a grand master in stage effects, and the finely disposed graceful ballets and stunning ensemble all reftect credit on his artistic astuteness in this direction. Mule Jole Tornaghi and Mlle. Staccioni, the premiers, are both very attractive women and ckillful dancers. Signor Alfredo Bian- cifiori displays skill and lightness. Miss Allie Gilbert's song, “The Sidewalks of New York,” is catchy. Sam Collins is an all-round wonder as a remarkable acrobat song-and-dance man, who has cleverness iv comedy; and the Athos family of parlor acrobats are as wonderful in their ways as the famous Schaffer fa , and sur- pass them in feats of acrobatic skill. New National Theater.—“‘Charley’s Aunt,” the comecy which enjoyed such a success in New York, will be seen in Washington for the first time next week at the New National Theater. It will be interpreted by one of Mr. Chas. Frohman’s companies Academy of Music.—The attraction at the Académy of Music next week will be Primrose and West’s minstrels, enlarged and with many new features. Butler's Bijou Theater.—A. Y. Pearson's big scenie surprise, “The; Police Patrol,” comes to Butler’s Bijou Theater for one week, commencing Monday, February 25. It is without doubt a perfection of realism. Many plays introducing wonderful scenic effects meet with more or less success, but this production has been produced in all the larger cities, and the press is unani- mous in its praise. In one act the interior of a police patrol barn is shown, with the horses standing in their stalls, the wagon in place and everything in readiness for the alarm. When the bell sounds the horses dash under the swinging harness, are hitched and off the stage in less than five seconds. In the following act Haye market Square, Chicago, is a scene showing the policeman's monument, marking the spot where, on that fatal May day, the anarchists cast the bomb which cost tke lives of so many brave officers. In this scene the officer has arrested his prisoner, who, with the assistance of a pal, escapes, the confederate, however, being secured by the quick arrivel of the patrol wagon, in answer to the-call from the street box. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—That remark- ably clever organization known as “Hyde's Comedians” is now stronger in every re- spect than ever before, as will be proven when they are seen at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week, commencing on Mon- day, February 25, when Helene Mora, the gifted “female baritone,” will present a new budget of songs, show another array of elegant costumes and give further evi- dence of her powers of descriptive charac- terization. Associated with her will be Johnnie and Emma Ray; Binns and Binns, who are known as “the pantatas of merri- ment;” Carrie Webber and John Compson. beth ‘well-known dramatic artists; Thorne and Carlton, mirth provokers; Forges and Quinn, versatile artists, in buck dancing, trick ‘harmonica playing, and King, the most graceful of and dance performers; Stinson and Merton, and a concluding corglomeration of comi- cal sayings and situations, entitled “Mis- taken Identity,” in which every member of the company personates some side-splitting character, The Stoddard Lectures.—This afternoon and evening John L. Stoddard will make his last appearance at the Academy of Music, giving his famous Passion Play Lecture on each occasion. Willard Hall.The comedy “Engaged " was produced last evenirg in Willard Hall by the Thalia Club, under the auspic the board of lady managers of G: Hospital. The audience comprised a lare number of well-known Washingtonians, who appercatly greatly enjoyed the entertain- ment provided. Those who took part in the presentation were Misses Rertha Katharine Aukam, Vyne Bowers, Helen M. Smith, Bertha M. Bolseau, Lucy Foilett Uhl, and Messrs. Clarence M. Bush, Lewis P.’ Cle- phane, Marion C. Hargrove, George Aukam, Audley Linke, R. G. Rutherford and James Regan. Orpheus Glee Club.—The Orpheus Glee Club, which is composed of the best musi- cal talent among the colored people of this city, gave a concert last night at the Me- tropolitan A. M. E. Caurch, in celebration of Washington's birthday. The entertain- ment was under the direction of Prof. J. T. Layton. The musicale was introduced with a solo, “Adelaide,” by Prof. Lloyd G. Gibbs, the tenor, of Baltimore, who was the re- cipient of several encores, to which he = sponded. The other numbers of the pro- gram were rendered by Mr. Moses H. Hodges of Boston and the members of the club. From a Snow Shoveler's Point of View To the Editor of The Evening Star: The idle workmen of our city should thank The Evening Star for its efforts in their behalf. Organized and unorganized workers have needed the necessaries of life the past winter, and many sufferers have to a great extent been temporarily relieved by The Star’s good work. Shoveling snow gave work to a number of hungry men. Our population fs increasing at a rapid rate, labor-saving machinery is keeping pace with the population, and charitable insti- tutions and individuals are taxed to their utmost capacity. Notwithstanding this de- moralizing scene in the United States, re- cruits from other countries are daily ar- riving on our shores, only to add to the misery of those already here. Men in the nation’s Capitol “kill time” by “chewing the rag” about private pension claims or the “income tax bill,” and give no heed to their constituents who are devising every means in their power to keep from starv- ing. It is against the law to beg, but many are forced to do it. It would be impossible to put every man out of work in the lock- up. Walk down Pennsylvania avenue and you meet men in destitute circumstances men who would not ask for assistance if they did not need it badly. They did not want the money for whisky; they wanted it for bread or a night's shelter; and even a poor snow shoveler like myself has “‘yielded up” on more than one oc ion. PRINTER SNOW SHOVELER. Alpha Delta Phi. One of the most interesting reunions of college graduates that has occurred this season took place Thursday evening at the residence of Matthew Trimble, the as- sessor of the District. The occasion was a reception by Mr. Trimble to his old col- kege friend, Rev. Kiung Yen, who grad- uated from Kenyon College, Ohio; in the class of 1861, and immediately returned to China, his native country, to commence mission work among his own people. The attendance at the reception was confined to the membership of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity. This is Mr. Yen's first visit to this country since his graduation, thir- ty-four years ago. Most of the principal chapters were represented in the pany, and under the leadership of Rev. George W. Dudley, also a graduate of Kenyon, “Kaire Alpha Delta Phi” and other popular fraternity songs were sung with old-time vim and enthusiasm. The floral decorations were lilies of the valley, with green and white ribbons, being the fraternity flower and colors. After the supper Mr. Yen took opportunity to return thanks for the compliment tendered him. ise Excursion Tickets to Mobile and New Oricans vin Pennsylvania Railroad.

Despite the fact that the present time in the local produce market {s‘what is. known as, between seasons, prices, on the whole, continne good and the miarket firm. In some products at the¢present time the sup- ply is‘more than sufficient to meet the de- mand, a demand weakened by the ap- proach of warmer weather. As, for in- stance, in dressed hogs andsturkeys. With perhaps the exception of potatoes and ap- ples, prices during the weels fell slightly or remained stationary.»But where they de- clined the fall, as a rule, was so slight as to amount in no one-instance to a depres- sion. Eggs, failing to take the decided drop feared by some dealers-last week, de- clined to 22 cents at‘one time during the week. They advanced again, however, and today’s market is a 24-cent one. In several grades of butter there was a decline, but in pouitry prices, with one or two exceptions, remained stationary. Potatoes advanced somewhat, both in the Irish and sweet grades. The general tone of the market ccntinued healthy, and firm prices in about every product can reasonably be expected. For an active spring business the pros- pects are at present excellent, the outlook being unusually bright and hopeful. It is believed that there will be a more general and larger demand from now on than there was ioe youl, aNd tual the larmers and other producers will enjoy a profitable year. For these reasons prices will, it is expected, rule much higher during the coming season. Receipts of butter continued large, espe- cially in the medium and lower grades, Consequently the market was dull and of an easy tone, and prices declined. Elgin and other fancy western creamery fell from 24 to 25 cents a pound to from 2% to 24. First and second creamery from 23 to 21 and from 21 to 19, respectively. Fancy creamery print remained stationary at 27, as did New York tubs, prime at 18 and good at 15. Dairy print rested at 20 to 22, and western dairy ran from 10 to 15. Vir- ginia and Maryland dairy stock ranged froin 13 to 20, prices of-a week ago, and other lower grades from 10 to 20. The fine, warm weather was responsible rge receipt of eggs and for their 2 cents a dozen. The market was sieadier than last week, however, and a firm, even market may be expected during the coming week at least. Nearby fresh 24; western fresh and south- , 22 to 23; keat, or guinea, 9 to 10. While the receipts of poultry were not large, they fully supplied the demand, and prices fell slightly. Turkeys, killed, ranged from 12 to 14 cents a pound, and live ones from 9 to 10. Chickens, 10 to 14, and live old fowls, 6 to 10. Capons, 13 to 18. Ducks, 10 to 12 (dressed), and 8 to 10 for live ones. Live geese, 6 to 7, and dressed, 8 to 10. A good demand sent potatoes up. Irish, New York stock, 75 to 85 cents-a bushel, a rise of 15 cents; Maryland and Virginia stock, 6) to 70, a rise of 10 cents, and sweets, 75 cents to $2.50 a barrel, an ad- vance of 5 cénts.. Cahbages, $3 to $8 per hundred; turnips, 75 cents a barrel, and onions from $1.75 to $225 a barrel for yel+ low stock, to $2.75 a crate for Bermudas. Apples ran from to 33.50 a barrel for the lower grades to from $4 to $6 for the fancy table grade, the latter showing an advance of $1 a barrel. in live stock, cattle ran from 14% to 414 cents a pound; hogs, 5 to 5 heep, 2 to 3; lambs, to 412; calves, a fall of a piece. ves, 7 to 8; hogs, 2 to to % a cent, and cows from $6 to $3: In dressed meats—c: 41, and sheep, 4 to In flour, grain and hay prices experienced no change. Flour ranged from $1.50 for the lowest grade to $4.50 a barrel for the best. Wheat, 57 to 59 cents a bushel; rye, 42 to 46; corn, 47 to 49, and oats, 36 to 39. Hay sold for from $9 to $43 a ton, and cut, $13 to $l4. —..-— — HAPPY AND) WARRIED. Banquet of Y. M. ¢ Neer Bailing. Thirty young members of the Young Men’s Christian Association and their wives sat down to a beuedicts’ banquet last night at the Down Town Club, the first of its kind in the history of the asso- ciation. Only those members who had re- nounced the state of single biessedness and taken unto themselves wives during the period of service of Mr. James E, Pugh as general secretary were invited, and there were present couples who had been mar- ried within a few days after Mr. Pugh’s ar- rival in the city, as weil as the brides and grooms stil in their honeymoon. Mr. and Mrs. Pugh and Associauon President L. Cabell Williamson and his wife were the guests of the evening. A short informal reception was held among the members of the party as they arrived, and soon after 6 o'clock the march to the banquet hall was taken up to the strains of an orchestra in anu ante room. Tables were arranjed to form a hollow square, and were tastefully decorated. with fiowering azateas, palms and other plants. A brief welcome was spoken by Mr. Norman T. Elliott, inaster of ceremonies, and then commenced an anihiated discussion of the merits of blue points, consomme and the other courses of the menu. When the coffee had been partaken of and the board cleared the toasts of the evening were proposed and responded to in a most happy vein, Mr.. Elliott acting as the toastmaster. Responses were made by Messrs. William- son, Nesbit, Eldridge, Latimer, Tasker, Pugh and Freeman. Mr. Pugh, who spoke to the toast, “The new building,” said there is most urgent need for adequate equipment for carrying on the association’s work in this capital city. Instead of the present remodeled structure, with a mod- est front of seventy-five feet, which cannot accommodate half the membership, there should be a handsome building, with at least 116 feet frontage, seven stories in height, ‘and costing, exclusive of th ground, $250,000, There were, he said, 000 young men in Washington between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five, and yet the accommodations for them were inferior to those in every large city. When the peo- ple become aware of the seriously inade- quate accommodations, when they realize the limitations placed upon the associa- tion's work, then the new building will come. ‘Those present were Mr. and Mrs. W. D. West, Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Williamson, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Robison, Mr. and Mrs. F. EK. Tasker, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Eldridge, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Chapin, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Buell, Mr. and Mrs. E. L.
