The Hibernian Rifles was the next victim, and after light battery A was threatened with the disease it was thought that the cutbreak had reached a mit. However, it will not surprise many persons if the Corcoran Cadet Corps en- gage8 in the competition. Capt. Edwards and his men decline most emphatically to discuss the matter, but it is known that the company will tomorrow evening begin drill- ing, and continue the work each evening thereafter. It is also whis| ‘d about the armory that the Corcorans have adopted a decidedly unique scheme for raising the comparatively small amount of cash they are in need of to reaeh the Tennessee city. It is understood that between forty and forty-five men have pledged themselves to take the trip. The members of this organi- zation. worked hard for a month or more last fal! ir preperation for a proposed drill at Richmord, end when the affair was de- ciared off the soidiers were greatly disap- pointed. Since that time the company has been anxious to show what it can do in competition, and but very little doubt ex- ists that the organization will report at Memphis on the morning of May 11. May Not Go. ° A generai rumor to the effect that the National Fencibles will not participate in the Grill, as yet, cannot be denied or af- firmed. Owing to the date of the event and the inability of a very large quota of the “old” men—those who have been members of the champions’ drill team in former yenrs--to leave the city at the time ar- ranged, the company feels that it is badly handicapped, and for that reason a senti- Tent prevails in favor of remaining at home. The Chickasaw Guards having com- Plied with the rules governing the Galves- ton championship cup, and the Fencibles having announced themselves in favor of Memphis for the ccmpetition, the adjutant general of Texas has formally offered the cup to the Memphis interstate drill for anetition. Therefore the champions mv >t either attend the drill or forfeit the cup and the chempionchip without a struggle, and it is far from probable Capt. Domer’s men will allow such a condition of things to come about. Working Hard. Captain Domer worked half a hundred Fencibles last evening for several hours on the manual of arms, while the Morton Cadets and the Hibernian Rifles maneu- vered with full companies about the streets and in Convention Hall. All these com- panies are working nightly and their ef- forts are watched by large numbers of interested spectators. As stated, the Cor- coran Cadet Corps will also be in the field tomorrow evening. The annual company competitive drill of the regiment of High School Cadets is slated to occur this year about the middle of May. A big percentage of the Morton Cadets are also members of the High School regiment, and it is understood that Principal F. R. Lane of the High School will be petitioned to postpone the contest of the companies of the regiment until later in the month in order that the boys may go to Memphis and also be on hand for the High School drill, which is always an event of great local interest. Active Preparations. It is expected that the newly organized bicycle corps which is attached to the famous New York seventh regiment will be seen at Memphis, as well as a num- ber of other organizations from the me- tropolis. Advices from Memphis show that the preparations for entertaining the. vis- iting companies are particularly elaborate. The first day, Saturday, May 11, will be given over to introductory exercises. Each organization will have a sponsor, a chap- eron and two maids of honor. On the first day the introduction of the organizations to their sponsors is to take place—this cere- mony at Little Rock last July was one of the most beautiful spectacles ever wit- nessed anywhere. The sponsors, chaperons and maids of honor will be selected from the best homes and families in Memphis. They will wear the colors of their troop and their homes will be open to their guests. A carriage, decked with the colors of the organization to which it is attached, will be placed at the disposal of each com- pany. Already many outings and diver- sions have been planned for the enter- tainment of the visiting soldiery. 2S THE NEGROES AND LIBERIA. One Who Thinks Mr. Morgan’s Propo- sition Comes Too Late. In a recent interview Senator Morgan of Alabama was quoted as indorsing the move- ment for the colonization of southern ne- groes in Liberia and giving at some length his reasons therefor. The publication of the interview has called forth dissenting opinions from a number of readers of The Star. Mr. John A. Scott believes that the ma- jority of the thrifty, intelligent negroes prefer to remain in this country. They were born here, and he contends that this country is as much the home of the negro as of the white man. As to the question of ancestry, Mr. Scott holds that the rights of the negro and the white man in this country are equal, the one coming here by emigration from the fatherland, the other by forced emigration. It would not be the part of justice to send the negro back to his fatherland after he has won his right to stay here by a residence of 300 years. Mr. Scott suggests that had Senator Mor- gan’s plan of deportation been put into practice forty years ago every negro of the southern country would have hailed it as a glad deliverance. Mr. Scott regrets that there was no Senator at that time with compassionate heart to deliver the negro from the horrors of slavery. In- stead of sending the negro back to Africa in those days the white man was more anxious to get negroes from Africa, Mr. Scott says. He thinks that the proffered help for the negro comes at rather a late day, inasmuch as the negro is now helping himself. =e Mr. William Powell's Sons. The son who survives Mr. William Powell, whose death was announced in The Star yesterday, is Lieut. Wm. S. Powell of the army, now stationed in_ Arizona. Mr. Powell’s other son, Lieut. Jos. S. Powell of the signal corps, died several years ago. ee The Board of Trade. The meeting of the board of trade this evening at the Builders’ Exchange will be ef special interest. A large attendance of members and guests is expected. The necessity for a code of laws for the Dis- trict will be the topic for consideration, end Judge Cole will deliver an address on this subject. A general discussion will fol- low, and then those present will have an cpportunity to mingle in a social way. ————_—_- The Trial Postponed. The trial of George Le Cointe, charged with the larceny of $300 worth of diamonds from Dollie Ballard, February 20 last, which was set for today in Criminal Court No. 2, has been postponed until tomorrow. This action was taken upon the presenta- tion ¢f an affidavit of the defendant, who stated that until 5 p.m. yeserday he was unaware that the case against him had been placed upon the assignment for today, and he was therefore not prepared this morning for trial. Le Cointe claims that he will place on the ud cne Archibald Henkins of Newark, J., who will testify that Dollie Ballard informed him that before any woman should go with Le Cointe except herself, she would swear that Le Cointe robbed her, se that she could have him sent to jail. =—— Get the Best and Pay Least! 5-Ib. boxes finest Creamery Butter, $1.35.

AMUSEMENTS. . “Carmen.”—Bizet’s “Carmen” was given for the second performance of the Tavary Opera Company at the Academy of Music last night before a gocd-sized audience, that demonstrated by frequent applause its satisfaction with the work of the singers. Helen Von Doenhoff sang the role of Car- men in good style, although she was hardly an ideal gipsey in appearance. Wm. Mer- tens made an excellent Escamilio, singing the music with much spirit and exciting a gocd ‘deal of enthusiasm with the Torea- dor song. Payne Clarke sang the part of Don Jose in good form, although his act- ing is no better than the average tenor. Mme. Tavary sang the small role of Michaela, and lifted it into importance by her excellent work. The minor parts were well filled by Messrs. Hamilton, Schuster and Dudley, and both chorus and orches- tra contributed to the good effect of the performance. Tonight Mme. Tavary will sing Santuzza in the “Cavalleria Rusti- cana,” and Guille, the popular French tenor, will appear in Turriddu in that op- era and in Canio in “I Pagliacci,” both of which parts he created. The two operas form a bill of unusual excellence. Beerbohm Tree.—Herbert Beerbohm Tree, the famous English actor, who has been for years Henry Irving's great rival in the favor of the London playgoers, will make his appearance in Washington for three nights and a matinee, beginning Monday, April 1. The event will be without doubt a memorable occasion in the history of the local stage. As lessee of the Hay- market Theater in the English capital Mr. Tree has won almost equal laurels with Irving for his artistic and masterly managerial talents; and he has brought with him on this first American tour his complete Haymarket company, and all the elaborate and rich scenery, costumes and effects, which have made his productions celebrated masterpieces of stage art. for Mr. Tree himself, he has certainly es- tablished his title as one of the world’s great actors. It has been said of him that probably no other such versatile actor ever lived with the single exception of David Garrick. An unperturbed portrayer of two such antipodean characters as Falstaff and Hamlet is truly a unique figure of the modern footlights. Mr. Tree’s power to disguise has been pronounced wonderful. He is said to be a master of artistic finesse. It remains to be seen how far his romance and realism is external. A fine preliminary test of his versatility will be afforded during his engagement here, when he will present Monday and Wednesday nights and Wednesday matinee, “A Bunch of Violets,” preceded by “A Ballad Mo mer. Tuesday night, “Captain Swift. Sale of seats opens tomorrow morning. Prices, $2. $1.50, $1, 50 and 25 cents. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week Rice’s “1492” will appear. This up-to-date burlesque will undoubtedly crowd the Opera House during their short engagement. Australian Athletic ard Vaudeville Com- artin Julian’s Australian Athletic ideville Company will be Manager Kernan's attraction for next week. A re- markable vaudeville performance and an athletic tournament, introducing only real champion athletes, are combined on one Program, forming a brilliant entertainment. The vaudeville contingent is especially strong and includes Julian and Cook, the acrobats; Mile. Theo, the beautiful musical queen; Gracie and Reynolds, the eccentric comedians; Mecca, the remarkable hoy tenor; the Kobinsons, the favorite duetists, and Whitman and Davis, comedy sketch ar- lists. Among the athletic champions is Capt. Duncan C. Ross, who challenges any man in the world to compete with him at mounted broadsword combats for $5,000 a side. Capt. Ross will give an exhibition of mounted breadswordmanship with Graeco Martino, champion of Italy. This is posi- tively the first opportunity that the theater- going puvlic has had to witness a genuine broadsword combat on any stage. Other prominent athletes in the company are Johnny Van Heest, feather-weight cham- pion of the Pacific coast, and Danny Mi Eride, 122-pournd champion of New York; . Jefterson, Police Gazette champion Cradoc, champion Roinan bat- vingers of the world, and Robin- and Brown, champion all round jumpers of the world. The above champions will positively meet all comers in their respective lines for special prizes and purses offered by the management. Stavenhagen-Gerardy.—Stavenhagen and Gerardy will give another concert at Met- zerott Music Hall, Friday evening, March 2), and these artists will undoubtedly draw the very best people of Washington and vi- cinity. At their last concert, given here some time ago, they drew a very large au- dience, and with the success they made then it can be easily assumed that at their second appearance here they will crowd the hall. No pianist has ever appeared in Washington who has won greater enthu- siasm than Stavenhageng he is, indeed, an artist that can thrill and at the same time give the hearer something out of the com- mon. Jean Gerardy is not alone a marvel- lous virtuoso, but he lifts one into the en- chanted world of sound that is as exquis- itely beautiful as it ig rare. Stavenhagen will, of course, play several Liszt numbers, and in this phase of his art no pianist in the world can in any way touch him. His performance of the “Erl Koenig’ fairly electrifies his hearers. Gerardy will play the “Elegie,” in which he has achieved an enormous success; but then whatever that marvelous boy plays is sure to be of that transcendental quality that makes him al- most something above an earthly quality. ‘rilby.’”. Production of scenes and songs from “Trilby” will be given at Met- zerott Music Hall tonight, under the au- spices of the Art Students’ League and ‘the Soctety of Washington Artists. The story of Du Matrier’s great novel will be told in a series of living pictures, accompanied by an appropriate musical program. ‘rhere will be nineteen tableaux, under the fol- lowing titles: “‘Three Musketeers of the Brush,” “‘Wistful and Sweet,’ “The Rosa- mund of Schubert,” “I Will Not, I Will ae oe s It Used to “Trilby! Where jorrowfully Arm in Arm,” “Note Note,” “The Nightingale’s First Song,” “Pierrot,” “It Was Trilby,” “The Remem- brance of Them Hand in Hand,” “Hast Thou Found Me, Oh, Mine Enemy?” “Sven- gali! Svengali! Svengali!” “I Pete Coeles- tes” and “Ich Habe Geliebt und Gelebet.' The following is the musical program, a selection to accompany each picture: Male quartet, “Annie Laurie,” Buck; song, “Ben Belt;” piano solo, “Rosamond,” Schubert; song, Suzon,” Delibes; song, “La Vie, instrumental selections, mandolin quartet; song, “Der Nussbaum,” Schum: +,song, “Loch Lomon “Amore, Tosti; male quartet, sence,” Buck; song, Malbrouk; song, “Sigh No More, Ladies,” Stevens; piano solo, im- premptu, Chopin; gipsy music, Mohr; son, “Au Printemps,” Gounod; piano solo, “Fi neral March,” Chopin; song, “Cantique de Noel,” Adam, and violin solo, “Adieu,” Schubert. The characters in the pictures will be taken by members of the Art Students’ League and their friends, and the songs and ballads will be interpreted by the best musical talent of the city, gen- erously volunteered for the occasion.

What Was Considered at the Meeting. of the Association. When the president» ofthe Benning Citi- zens’ Association rapped for order at 8 o'clock last evening severy officer was at his post of duty andsthere was a good at- tendance. After the minutes of the previous meet- ing had been read and approved Mr. Mean- ey reported that the chairman of the com- mittee on lights and sidewalks, Mr. Keyser, had repaired the sidewalk at his-own per- scnal expense. He also. reported that the Columbia Railway Company would begin next Monday and pave Benning road from 15th to 16th street, thus answering the complaint made by the association at its last meeting. Mr. Keyser reported that Mr. Walson, superintendent of county roads east of the Eastern branch, was in Benning Tuesday and d promised to do all he possibly could in tne way of making repairs to roads in the vicinity. It was reported that engine house No. 10, Iccated on Maryland avenue near 14th street, was nearly done, and that an en- gine would soon be placed therein, thus af- fording relief to the people of Benning in case of fire. The committee appointed to examine into the merits of the Unicn for Practical Prog- ress made its report and asked for more time, which, on motion of Mr. Broome, was granted. Mr. Keyser reported that Boyles’ hill had been fixed, and that the superintendent of county reads had told him that he had rec- ommended a brick sidewalk from the hotel corner to the railrcad. Under the head of unfinished business the president filled two vacancies by ap- pointing E. F. Broome as a member of the committee on lights and sidewalks and John Boland as a member of the commit- tee on railroads. When new business was called for J. S. Mewshaw spoke at great length in refer- ence to: the feasibility and desirability of the association becoming a member of the Union for Practical Progress. Mr. Broome’s motion to have the commit- tee select officers, etc., and report next Tuesday night was lost. On motion of Mr. DuPaul, the matter was deferred for one week to give everybody a chance to study up the subject. Documents explaining the objects of the union were distributed, and after transacting some minor business the meeting adjourned. Another Theater Nuisance. To the Editor of The Evening Star: It is indeed a source of great gratification to notice that the broadsides which The Stars aimed at the erstwhile high theater nats have been so effective. One cannot fail but observe the beautiful, unobstruc- tive bonnets that now take the place of the former high hat fortifications. How was this accomplished? Why, through The Star’s continuous war in_ opposition to them. So therefore if The Star was power- ful and persuasive enough for this it cer- tainly can bring the following to pass: Star readers have no doubt observed the man who persists in going out between the acts, presumably to see a friend. They have also no doubt noticed the annoyance he causes to the occupants of the same row as he passes out. ‘They anust all rise so as to give him ample repm: to pass. Now, it clearly stands to remsan that, with pro- gram, fans, opera glasses.and even smelling salts,it is exceedinglyvawkward and annoy- ing to rise to allow thesforesaid “wish to see a friend” man to pags. If, however, these umeasy ones cannot re- sist the temptation toysee their friends be- tween the acts, some provision should be made to give them thesend seats, or even have them caged in @ separate portion of the theater, where they: (in company with the onion eaters) wouldhave full sway. If this could not be dona, the “friendly man” eculd bring his friends in a pint or quart bottle, or these patent: thirst quenchable drops. This kind of man is as much of a nuisance to the “goedy’’- men as to. the ladies, who thoroughly despise him. The Star would recefve the blessings of a suffering theater going humanity if it would “call” down these, fellows as it did the former theater hats: GUS A. SCHULDT. —— + The Business: Wounn’s Club.

POINT THE DOUGLASS ESTATE. One Heir Files a Petition for Letters of Collectio A petition was filed in the Probate Court late yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Rosetta D. Sprague, eldest child of the late Fred- erick Douglass, asking that letters of col- lection be granted at once. It is further requested that letters testamentary be is- sued to the petitioner, and that the widow, Mrs. Helen Douglass, and Lewis H. Doug- lass be directed to file accounts showing of what the estate consists by items, with a valuation attached to each item. The petition recites that Frederick Doug- lass died February 20, and since that time Mrs. Douglass and Lewis H. Douglass have been in full control of the estate. Mrs. Sprague comments upon the failure to file any will or to secure letters of administra- tion, and speaks of the recessity for doing 80. Because of the delay in securing let- ters of administration Mrs. Sprague thinks that her interests and rights have been af- fected. The history of the Douglass family is set forth in the petition, and then the petitioner states that $40,000 is her esti- mate of the value of the personal property left by her father. In conclusion, Mrs. Sprague asks for the delivery of all the property into the hands of a collector. The motion, it is expected, will be arzued at the next session of the Probate Court, which occurs Friday. ———— A Bright Eye Is a sign of good health and if the stomach is not in the best of conditions the eyes will show it.
