Bahen Testimonial The Coming Performances of the “Re- demption” by the Choral Society— More than three months ago all Wash- ington read of one of the saddest and most serious accidents that has ever occurred in amateur athletics. On Thanksgiving day, 1894, in a contest for the fcot ball cham- pionship of the District of Columbia, Mr. George D. Bahen of the Georgetown Uni- versity eleven received an ‘injury to his spine which caused immediate paralysis from just below the arms downward throughout the entire body. Three long, weary menths of suffering in a helpless and hopeless condition have brought a sturdy, healthy, promising young man to a mere shadow of his former self. A devoted father has sacrificed everything to restore his boy to health, and the large and in- creasing’ expenses incident to this illness must be met. To aid in doing this the stu- dents in the law department of the George- town University have planned a testimonial benefit, to be given at Metzerott Music Hall ‘Thursday evening, March 7, and many of the best musicians of the city have gladly offered their services. Mr. Metzerott has generously ‘tendered the use of the hall free of charge, and there is everywhere a spirit of willingness to aid this movement. A pleasing instance of this is manifested by the Columbia Athletic Club, the victors in the great Thanksgiving day struggle. The club will be represented on the pro- gram, and the members are pushing along the sale of tickets handsomely. Even in- tercollegiate rivalry will be put aside, and the orange and blue of the Columbian Uni- versity Swill be worn by the Banjo, Mando- lin and Guitar Club of that institution, who have offered. their assistance. Among those who will appear cn the program are Mr. Herman Rakemann, violin; Mr. John Porter Lawrence, piano; the Georgetown Univer- sity Glee and Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Clubs; Mr3. Thomas C. Noyes, soprano; the Philharmonic Quartet and Mrs. H. H. Mills; Mrs. Anna Craig Hills, soprano; Mr. Hub T. Smith; the Tuxedo Quartet of Chi- cago; Mr. Nast, flute, and cthers. The sale of seats !s already large, and the promot- ers of this worthy movement are confident of success. Gonnod’s “The Redemption,” to be pro- ed by the Choral Society on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings next at the First Congregational Church, is described by the composer himself as “a lyrical setting forth of the three great facts on which de- pend the existence of the Christian church, these facts being: 1. The passion and the death of the Savior. 2. His zjorious life on earth from His resurrection to His ascen- sion. 3. The spread of Christianity in’ the world through the mission of the Aposties.”” These three parts are preceded by a pro- logue on the creation, the fall of our first parents and the promise of a Red2emer. The subject is particularly appropriate to the Lenten season, and will be attractive to many for this reason, as well as interest- ing to the lovers of good music well ren- dered. There are some very fine chorus will be given in the society's us: lent style, and the soloists announced com- prise a number of the best local singers. The arrangement,of the auditorium of the Congregational Church will enable all the audience to see and hear to much bet- ter advantage than has been possible at the earlier concerts of the society this sea- son. The sale of tickets is progressing rapidly at Droop & Sons, and a large aud- fence will be in attendance at each of the performances. It will be learned with both pleasure and regret by the many friends of Miss Lotta Mills that with the beginning of next sea- gon this young artist will take up her abode in New York city, with the intention ef making that place her future home. Miss Mills is preparing some very inter- esting recital programs for next season, and it is hoped she may, »efore her de- parture, render at least one of them for the many admirers of her talent in Wash- ington. Miss Katie V. Wilson is at home, in- formally on Monday evenings. Each week a musical .program is rendered. On Monday evening the Cecilian Quar- tet will render several selections, and there will be solos by Misses Thompson, Pillsbury, Nye, Weeden, Brown, Kerr and Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Wilson. A paper will be read on Mr. William Shakespeare, the renowned teacher, wish whom Miss Wilson studied when abroad. Mr. H. O. Cook has been engaged as the leading tenor at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, taking the place of Mr. W. J. Caulfield, who has gone to the choir of the Church of the Epiphany. Mrs. Kitty Thompson, Berry will give a recital at Metzcrott Music Hall on March 15, assisted by Miss Lotta Mills, the Apollo and Philharmonic quartets, Mr. Herman Rakemar-n and others. The popularity of this singer and her assistants will test the capacity of the hall, and financially and artistically Mrs. Berry’s testimonial prom- ises to be one of the most successful con- certs of the season. Mr. Herman C. Rakefflann will give a mu- sicale, assisted by his pupils, at the Univer- salist Church next Friday evening, when a very enjoyable program will be present- ed. There will be two numbers for string orchestra and a violin quartet, Mr. Brook Amis will play De Beriot’s violin concerto, No. 1; Miss Mary Crook, the famous kaff Cavatina; Mr. Wm. Green, Rodes’ eighth concerto; Miss Mira Chittenden, Tartini’s adagio cantabele and Bach's loure, and Mr. Lee Crandall will play the celebrated “Otello” fantasia, by Ernst. Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry will also assist ard will sing the “Ah, Fors e Lui” aria, from “Traviata.” Mr. Rakemann has a repu- tation as a solo violinist that is growing each year, and he has during the last two years developed abilities as a conductor in the handling of the Georgetown Orchestra that deserve high rank. The efforts of his assistants at this musicale will be a gratifying test of his success-as an in- structor. Master Lee Cox, who has been the solo soprano in St. John’s Church choir, and whose sweet voice has given great delight to those who have heard him there, has severed his connection with the choir and will be heard no more in public until his voice shall have developed into its matur- It will be remembered that Master Cox sang Ralph in the juvenile perform- \ances of “Pinafore” that were given last year under the auspices of the lady man- agers of the Homeopathic Hospital, and made a decided hit in the role. The readings of Mrs. Clara Bell Brown, which will take place at Metzerott Hall next Tuesdsy evening, will be interesting, not only because the selections will be from among the best of Mrs. Brown’s literary efforts, but because she will be assisted by Miss Jennie O'Neill Potter, Mrs. Kitty Thompson Berry and a male octet. ‘There will be two band concerts in Wash- ington, closely following each other, short- ly. Next Sunday Mr. John Philip Sousa will come to the Grand Opera House with bis band, and there is no question as to the popularity here not only of Mr. Sousa him- self, but of his excellent organization. The Sunday night following will come the cel brated Gilmore's Band, now under the lead- ership of Mr. Victor Herbert, who has kept up the reputaticn of the great band- master. With them will be Frieda Simon- son, the marvelous girl pianist, who has created a positive furore wherever she has been heard, and other soloists of note. —— Before the Geographic Society. Rev. Dr. Francis Brown of New York lectured last night before the National Geographic Society on “Recent Discoveries in Assyria and Babylon.” Dr. Brown was introduced by Mr. Gardirfer G. Hubbard, president of the society. The lecturer ex- plained that he was not an archaeologist, but merely a student of history, with espe- cial reference to the history of the Old Tes- tament. The discoveries were very recent compared with the ancientness of those civilizations and the ages of forgetfulness which enveloped them. He sketched the discoveries of the present century, giving the names of the explorers and the dates of the explorations. He thought that the discoveries had but just begun. Their knowledge of those nations was as yet fragmentary, but would be amplified as time passed on. He discoursed at great length on the history and geography of Assyria and Babylon. He was convinced that the chronology indicated a civilization of 2500 years B. C., while one authority, and not without reason, placed the period of Sargon at 3800 B. C. He argued in be- half of the theory that the region was the seat of a pre-Shemitic civilization. The second section of the ¢ecture was enlivened with stereopticon views. a IN THE @HURCHES From Thursday evening of last week and ending with tomorrow egening, Rev. Chas. W. Baldwin, pastor of Wesley M. E. Church, has been holding a series of Pen- tecostal meetings in that church.

Stakely of the First Baptist Church is preaching a series of eight Sunday evening discourses on the “Family of Jesus.” Friday evening last an instructive and well-attended missionary social was given at the Assembly Presbyterian Church, un- der the auspices of the Ladies’ Missionary Society. These socials are held yearly, and this time upward of a hundred dollars were collected. The program embraced, among other things, an original poem by Mrs. F. L. Moore and a missionary story by Mrs. Annie Loomis. The Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip of the Sixth Presbyterian Church were pleasantly entertained” Monday evening,the 25th, with an address on the subject of “Sugar Making,” by Mr. Edward Noyes, one of its members.

Church celebrated Washirgton’s birthday by a tea iff the new parish hall. The affair was given by the ladies of the church, and was in the usual style incident to the day. St. Mark's Lutheran Church had a “hard times” sociable last week, which was much enjoyed for the originality displayed in its ccnception and execution. Refreshments censisted Of cornbread, herrings and like fare, and at the dcor a nondescript in rags played on a handorgan and collected pen- nies in a tin cup. - One morning last week the Ladies’ Home Missionary Society of the First Congrega- tional Church had the pleasure of listening to Rev. C. W. Shelton, one of the field sec- retaries of the Congregational Home Mis- sionary Society.

Skellenger, pastor of the Sixth Presbyterian Church, has organized a boys’ brigade from among the youth of the neighborhcod. Phe brigade has been divided jnto two companies; one composed of boys from thirteen to seventeen years of age, who drill on Friday evenings, and the other from eight years to thirteen,who drill Saturday afternoons.

The paper is published by the church Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, in conjunction with Dr. Eastman as editor, and is made up largely of-church news. A The topic under discussion at the meeting of the Methodist Ministers’ Association on Monday was “Church Extension.” Papers were read by Revs. Charles L. Pate and Stephen Brown, and a general discussion followed. The Christian Endeavor Society of the Ninth Sireet Christian Church celebrated the 22d of February by a Martha Wash- ington tea party. Arrangements were made by a committee, Arthur Bishop, chairman. The committee appointed to look after the Children’s Country Home, a project of the District Junior Endeavor Society, has decided that the best plan is to secure ac- commodations in some large ‘boarding house. By this plan a good deal of money will be saved. It is expected that Dr. Henry M. Field, editor of the New York Evangelist, ~ill address the March meeting of the Men's League of the First Presbyterian Church. His topic is to be ‘Northern Africa.” Monday evening the Methodist Union held a meeting at McKendree Church, and reports were received from T. B. Towner, the treasurer, and from Rev. Charles L. Pate, the secretary. The reports were re- ferred to an auditing committee, composed of E. F. Simpson and Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale. Five gentlemen were appointed to nomt- nate officers for the next year and to name trustees for the Home for the Aged. These nominations will be submitted at the March meeting, when the election will take place. It was also ordered that a report of the work of the year be sent to the Baltimore conference, through the corresponding sec- retary, Dr. L. T. Widerman. Among the interesting Lenten services will be a series of Sunday evening ser- mons at St. Patrick’s Church by Rev. Dr. ee se Stafford on “The Destiny of the oul.” An effort is to be made by the board of directors of the Presbyterian Alliance to make a large increase in its membership, within this year, for the purpose of paying off the debt on the new church which is soon to be erected at the intersection of Florida avenve and North Capitol street. This will be done by each new member paying $1 or more yearly, and as there are over 6,000 communicants of the Presby- terian donomination in this city the board is counting on getting at least one-half of that number. Last Tuesday the Ladies’ Aid Sociey of the North Capitol M. E. .Church gave a New England dinner at roon, during which they fed over two hundred people. They realized quite a snug sum of money. It is nearly certain that the Virginia conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South will make ro changes in the pastorates in this city when it meets here the latter part of this month.
