To the Editor of The Evening Star: I notice an article in The Star of last evening in regard ‘to the authorship of a verse, which Mr. Cleveland thought was meorrectly quoted. The President was right in thirkirg that the word “w should have been “truth.” "The verse oc- curs in Tennyson's “Will Waterproof’s Ly- Fical Monologue,” and as I recail it, reads: “So fares it since the years began, Till they be gathered w The truth that flies the flowing can, Will haunt the vacant cup.” Mrs. CHISHOLM. cae The Episcopal Endowment Fund. It was stated in yesterday's Star that the Members of the committee on the endow- ment of the prcpozed Protestant Episcopal diocese had made themsclves responsible for the amount yet needed to complete the fund. A mistake was made, owing to the transposition by the typewriter of a-para-* graph in the netice sent out by the com- mittee to be read in the churches last Sun- day. The real state of the case is this: The subscriptions by individuals and par- ishes have now reached the sum of about $45,000, and it is expected will soon cover $50,000. There will remain therefore the sum of $10,000 yet to be provided in order to complete the $0,00) endowment. - To raise this the commitice are endeavoring to obtain subscriptions of $2 each (pay- able in one or two years if necessary) from fifty perscrs. They hope that twenty-five gentlemen and twenty-five ladies may be found who will be willing to be enroiled on this $2W list. At present there are five persons who have put their names down upon it. The treasurer of the fund, Mr. Henry E. Peilew, No. i637 Massachusetts avenue, receives contributions or subscrip- tions. Subscriptions of smaller amounts to make up this $10,000 will be received. —_———_ More Howgnte Indictments, The grand jury late yesterday afternoon returned among other indictments three against Capt. Henry W. Howgate. One charges him with the embezzlement of $10,000, one alleges that he forged an ac- count for $4,000, in connection with the American Urion Telegraph Company, Oc- tober 27, 18 and the third charges him with falsif; his accounts as disbursing officer of the signal corps. The indictments returned yesterday cover matters mention- ed in former ird tention of Di. tments, and it is the in- riet Attorney Birney to again try Capt. Howgate the latter part of this month, if possible. The indictments re- turned yesterday are those which The Star annouaced several weeks ago would be re- turned. a Court of Appeals. In reversing the judgment of the court below and remanding the case for a new trial, the Court of Appeals yesterday in the case of Chas. Walter against the Bal- timore and Ohio Railroad Company held that the ccurt below in taking the case from the jury erred. Mr. Walter was seri- injured November 9, 1892, by being by an engine of the company, while ng across the track at the crossing between North Capitol and F streets. The gppellate court holds that the fact that the gates were up and the watchman was in his bex, the plaintiff claiming that he was giv@n no warning, warranted the jury in passirg epon the question of who was to blame. ‘The Court of Appeals yesterday afternoon in the case of Thos. W. Steward, adminis- trator of the late John Andrew Casey, a jostal clerk, who was killed October 4%, 88S, against the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company, affirmed the judgment of the court below. The deceased left a widow, but no children, ard the court holds that the action could not be brought under the general laws of the District because the as@ was done in Maryland.

The Cercmonties Last Night—Those in Charge of the Booths—The Dif- ferent Committees. . The Knights of Pythias’ joint fair opened last night with Odd Fellows’ Hail crowd- ed to suffocation. Eleven booths — were ranged around the side of the room, each more beautiful and tasteful than the one preceding it, while great streamers of bright colors hung from the center chande- lier and were draped to the four walls. A huge American flag was draped across the front of the stage, many smaller flags, to- gether with Chinese lanterns, being used to give the whole effect a finished appear- ance. Although the time for arranging all the details was limited to two days, Satur- day and Sunday, yet the committees went to work with such a good will that there was a place for everything and everything was in its place. Groups of gaily dressed pretf¥ girls flitted here and there, solicit- ing votes, selling flowers ard making them- selves generally agreeable, while the white helmets and red plumes of the knights of the silver lily gave the whole a decided fantastic effect. The Fair Opened. Shortly after 8 o'clock Supreme Repre- sentative Richard Goodhart, accompanied by ‘Commissioner Ross, stepped on the stage. When order and quiet had been se- cured Mr. Goodhart introduced Commis- sioner Ross, who was to make the opening address. After commenting on the short- ness of the time which the committees had to prepare for the opening of the fair, Mr. Ross said that all the credit for the affair was due to the ladies, and not to the men. He said that he had before him a scene of beauty and a grand transformation for the bare walls which had confronted him in the same hail on Friday evening last. In conclusion, he said that every man, woman and child in the District of Columbia should patronize the fair, because it was to pay a debt which had been incurred in giving this city and the Knights of Pythias of this country one of the grandest enter- tainments which had ever been held here. He then announced the fair open and ready for business. Divisions Arrive. Just before 9 o'clock the strains of mar- tial music was heard and the First Divi- sion, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, came tramping into the hall, preceded by the J. B, Henderson Drum Corps. They were under the command of Colonel Harry Coggins, and with him were Lieutenant Colonel Otto Suess, Surgeon L. L. Fred- erich, Assistant Surgeon Fred. Reh, Ad- jutant M, F. Hoyterger, Commissary Jos. ‘A. Dempf and Officers W. O. Davis, C. Nel- son and George Smith. Other notable Pythians who came marching with the uniform rank were Captain H. Giadm Captain Thomas B. Landon and J. C. G A. ® Medford, J. B. Conner, supreme rep- resentatives, and John W. Thompson, an officer of the Supreme Lodge, were also in attendance. ‘They were welcomed by Mr. Goodhart, who aliuded to them as the pride of the order of the supreme domain. They were then dismissed and their place was taken by Naomi Lodge, No. 1, Degree of Re- bekah. John W. Thompson extended the freedom of the place to them and gave a high tribute to the good work the Odd Fel- lows were doing. All the rest of the time was taken up in social greetings and dan ing, which began at 10 o'clock, the music Bene excellent and the floor almost per- fect. In Charge of Booths. Any description of the fair, however, would be incomplete without a mention of the different lodges which had charge of the booths. The most striking booth was that run by the Capital Lodge, under the direction of Mrs. Matchett. It was surmounted by a wifite dome, on top of which was a minia- ture figure of the statue of liberty, with an electric light in its hand. The other lod who had booths were Harmony Lodge, Mrs. A. H. Thomas; Equal Lodge, Mrs. Lewis; Union Lodge, Mrs. McAllister; Decatur Lodge, Mrs. H. F. Belt; Rathbone Temple, Mrs. Mangum; Caldwell Division, Mrs. Lander; Franklin Temple, Mrs. Murray,and the baby lodge of the District, Myrtle Lodge, under the direction of Mrs. Springer. The paddle stand, which did a_rushing business, was run by the Uniform Rank,and was under the special direction of Col. Harry Coggins and Adjt. J. H. Mangum. Nearly all of the booths had fancy work for sale, and some of the articles dis- played were unique and beautiful. An ice cream parlor and a lunch room were also in evidence for those who might feel the pangs of hunger, and all during the even- ing they were well patronized. Those in Charge. The executive committee of the fair have worked long and hard in preparation for the event, and they hope to make enough to liquidate the debt which was incurred last August during the Pythian encamp- ment and leave a uttle balance in the treas- ury beside. They have over $2,100 to meet, but with the continued success whicp at- tended last night they will do more than justify their expectations. The executive committee is as follows: John W. Thomp- son, Richard Goodhart, John H. Kline, A. N. Thompson, A. F. Medford and Halvor Nelson. The other committees which have borne most of the work of preparation are a committee consisting of G. W. Heisley, president; H. F. Barnard, vice president; J. W. Carter, secretary, and Harry Cog- gins, treasurer; the program committee, consisting of J. W. Hardell, Woolman Gib- son, W. Woodward, M. G. Delarne and J. J. McGuigan; the invitation committee, in- cluding J. W. Thompson, G. W. Baumann and J. J. Murray; the committee on hall, in- cluding Col. Harry Coggins, J. W. Carter, A. H. Thomas and J. W. Thompson; the committee on decorations, comprising J. m, C. B. Anderson and W. Wood- ; voting, consisting of Charles E. Mil- ler, W. C. Harrell and H. F. Barnard; music, under the charge of A. Colum- bus; purchasing, including G. W. Heisley, J. W. Carter, H. F..Barnard, Col. Harry Coggins, Mrs. F. C. McCathran and Mrs. J. J. Murray; press and printing, consisting of Woolman Gibson, D. F. Brown, C. M. McCauley and J. W. Posten, and dancing, consisting of Wells C. Harrell, H. F. Bar- rard, Charles E. Miller, P. J. Roller, Harry Markwood, W. J. Norbeck, George Harles- ton, Wallace Woodward, Fred. E. Weber, H. F. Belt, J. J. McCarty and John Dolbert. —_—_.___ MOVING DAY. It is Rapidly Appronching for District Officinix. 2 District officials are preparing to move their offices into the Waiker building, on Louisiana avenue, which will soon come to be known as the District butiding, in place of the present structure on tst street. The Commissioners said today that they would probably move to their new quarters about the first part of next week and by the last of the week the transfer will have been completed. The Commissioners themselves will not be the first to get out, as some of the minor branches of the local govern- ment will precede them. At the meeting of the board yesterday afternoon the matter of the apportionment of quarters in the new building was taken up. The health office, which now occupies the first floor of the building, will move into the base- ment, of which it will occupy a hundred square feet, while the fire department is to take the remainder. The assessor and the collector of taxes have been assigned to the first floor, with the water depart- ment in the rear. The office of the Com- missioners will be in the upper part of the building, and one floor will probably be reserved for the filing and preservation of the District records. The work of trans- ferring the health office was begun today to make room for the coHector of taxes, so that he may be ready for the tax sales, which begin on the 9th of this month. A number of expenses will be incurred through the removal of the offices and the purchase of new office fittings which will be required, such as a long counter for the assessor, and things of that sort, and this matter is receiving the careful attention of the Commissioners. It is probable that the necessary expenses will be defrayed from the contingency fund. Se The furniture in the Hotel Irvington, K street near 14th northwest, will be sold at auction by Sloan & Co, tomorréw at 10 a.m. —Advertisement, THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House.—If there be any- thing in which thereeis materialized sun- shine, In which there is the softness of color and the fragrant freshness that sat- isfies ‘the eye and fills the memory with po- etry in bud, and smiles in blossom, it is a bunch of violets, of nature’s own growing. On the contrary, when Octave Fenillet writes a play, which Sydney Grundy adapts and Englishes as ‘A Bunch of Violets,” fcr Mr. Herbert Beerbohm Tree to intro- duce himself to an audience on, Mr. Tree is to that extent handicapped, for this bunch of viclets is a bunch of woe, and tears, with death, to cap the grewsome nosegay. Not a more critical audience has attended any Washington theater than that at the Grand last night, from the President of the United States and his Secretary of State (both of whom yawned during the performance), to a good-looking contingent of New ngland school marms, visiting the capital (all of whom removed their bats during the performance). That Mr. Tree as Sir Phillip Marchant, a difficult end disagreeable role, acquitted himself creditably, no one will dispute, and that his work was not better than others less ad- vertized could do is equatly indisputable. The compliment may be paid Mr. Tree that he is the most American of all the English actors who have visited these shores. Mr. ‘Tree may not held this to be a compliment, but it is. He is happily not a theatric ac- tor, and barrirg an unnatural introduction of lamplight cn one or two oceasions, the stage work was extremely like the natural life. Nor has he such noticeable, not to say unpleasant manners as some of his En- glish confreres. He is true to the character he assumes, knowing that he has much more time Cff the stage to be Mr. Beer- bohm Tree, which is the most difficult thing for an actor to learn. Assisting him is an excellent cast, led by Mr ree, who, as Mrs. Margatroyd, the real villain of the play, most artistically and womanly com- bines the fart of the bad woman and the wronged wife. Miss Hanbury's leony Mar- chant was made most attractive by the at- perscnality of Hent bits of we ere the Jacob Behwares ef Mr. Charles Allan, and the Mark Murgatroyd of Mr. Brough, the only gleams of comedy in the play. Not a part in the cast was poorly played, and there was nothing overdone, even in places where it might be overlooked or excused, for there are some intense situations, in which only really great actors could exer- cise that repressive force which makes art out of what might easily become an emo- tionul rant and riot. At the close of the third act the entire cast called before the curtain and a further call was made for Mr. and Mrs. Tree. The play was pre- ceded by “The Ballad Monger,” very nicely ut not urgently necesssry as a pre- t four-act play. Tonight “Capt. will be presented. New National Theater.—“A Black Sheep” was presented at the New National Thea- ter last night, and proved characteristic of its author, Mr. Charles Hoyt. “A Black Sheep” has the shadow of a plot, but it is not permitted to interfere with the rapid fiow of comic incident. A pretty heart story is suggested in the second act, when Mr. Goodrich Mudd, the harem-scarum hero, who supplies the piece with its title, ‘s that he loves a “queen of bur- instead of the woman whom the marry. But lesque” will stipulates that he shall the sentiment is hardly sustained by the envirorment of his wedding to the bur- lesque queea in the last act. The burden of the performance is on the shoulders of Mr. Otis Harlan, who is a wonder in his way. He ts funny all the time, and with- out effort. The story of the piece is so constructed as to admit some very clever specialties, prominent among which is the dancing of Miss Hattie Wills as Cora Fay. Her dancing has all the modern athletic abandon, combined with genuine grace and refined skill. The cast is commendable in many respects. Academy of Music—“The Dazzler” is a title without waose presence on the bill boards no theatrical season seems complete. It has been entirely rewritten—not in the familiar use of the phrase by theatrical managers, but provided wi new incidents and new dialogue, so that it comes to the Academy of Music with the force of a new creation from the pen of Frank Tannehiil, jr. The cast interprets the fun in a way which provel hishty acceptable to a good house last night. The humor is up-to-date, and so are the songs and specialit Mr. Charles Wagner gives a comical character impersonation, and Miss Florrie West sings and dances very fetchingly. Mr. Will West and Miss Josie and Vinie De Witt contribute good things to the play in a way that makes them a credit to their native community—Washinston—and Bobby Rals- ton, the dwarf comedian, is as amusing as he is unique. The new song, “Like Trilby,” will be added to the repertoire of the com- pany by Mr. Will West on Thursday night. Butler’s Bijou Theater.—N. S. Wood ap- peared l@st evening in a realistic produc- ticn, entitled “Out In the Streets.” The audience was large and enthusiastic. The various scenes of familiar and_ historic places in New York are interesting, and those of the hospital ward in the Tombs, the prison and the deserted mission house are especially realistic. Mr. Wood, as the of the role and gained the sympathy of the audience. George Pike, as the Yankee from Maine; Harry Thompson, as the Ger- | man; Ogden Stevens, as the villain; Laura Lewis, as the heroine; Millie Dulaney, as the good-natured Irish coffee woman, and little Ricca, as the blind child, were all clever: The play, as .2 Whole, is interest- iE Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Martin Ju- lan’s Australian Vaudeville and Athletic Company began a week's engagement here last night. The house was packed, and the lovers of athletics had a good opportunity to enjoy themselves. The first part of the program consisted of specialties, including the sketch team, Whitman and Davis; Mecca, the boy scprano; the musical queen, Theo; Harry and Lulu Robinson, in vocal selections, and Gracie and Reynolds, knock- about Irish comedians. The show conclud- ed with Mr. Julian's athletic exhibition of athletes, who are ready to meet all comers for purses in their specialties. Johnny Van Heest and Danny McBride, the feather- weights, gave clever exhibitions of ball punching; Chas. C. Jefferson, the strong man, performed sone remarkable feats of heavy lifting and juggling; Cradoc won lots of applause with his dangerous )battle-ax swinging; Robinson ard Brown gave an exhibition of high, broad and fancy jump- jag, and in a bout with broad swords Nel- h of the sixth Uiited States cavalry teCapt. Duncan C. Ross by a score of four peints to three. The performance concluded with boxing contests between local aspirants for pugilistic honors and members of the company. McBride failed to stop Jack Kelly in the stipulated four rounds, and the latter was given the purse of An attempt was made to give a broad-sword cont on horseback, but on account of the slippery condition of the stage had to be abandoned. Manager Ju- lian announced that during the balance of the week at least six good boxing bouts would be given at each performance. An Evening in Iceland.—The second week of an Evening in Iceland at the Washing- ton Light Infantry armory closed Saturday night with an unusually large crowd pr: ent and opened its third week last n with an equally good-sized crowd. Ua ss se os POWDER Absolutely Pure. ‘A cream of tartar baking pow- Ger.

The Washington Saengerbund will be the guests of the Infantry this evening, and it is ex- pected that they will make the place ring with some of their beautiful songs. The affair will be kept open all this week, on account of the many requests from people who have not yet had a chance to sce the beautiful sight. Churchmen’s League Lectures.—The next lecture in a course of addresses on “The Christian Man,” igiven under the auspices of the Churchmen’s League of the District of Columbia, will be delivered by Rev. Wm. B. Bodine, D. D., at Trinity Church, to- ht, at 8 o'clock. The subject is “The Christian Man in Business,” and seats are free, the public being cordially invited to be present. Dr. Brown’s Lecture.—A treat is in store for all who attend the lecture of Rev. O. A. Brown, D. D., this evening at Foundry Church, corner 14th and G streets north- West, on the subject, ‘Misplaced Men.” Musical numbers will also add to the at- tractiveness of the program. Capital Bicycle Club Concert.—The con- cert, under the auspices of the Capital Ricycle Club, at National Rifles’ Armory this evening, promises to be very successful. The talent secured is some of the best known in Washington, the soioists being Miss Anita Cluss, harpist; Mrs. E. Z. Per- kins, soprano; Mr. John Porter Lawrence, pianist; Miss Bertha Lucas, violinist, and the Washington Lady Quartet. All of these are well known, arfl are favorites in the musical circles of this city. Seats are now on sale at Metzerott’s. Lectures on Yucatan.—Mme. Piongeon will give three lectures tan, illustrating them with over 250 views, at Mr. Ffoulke's Tapestry Gallery, 2013 Massachusetts avenue northwest, April 3, 4 ard 5, at 8 o'clock. The subject is a most interesting one, while the lecturer comes well indorsed. ‘Course tickets, $2.50, and single tickets, $1, may be obtained of Mrs. Field, . de ‘Mendonca, Mrs. Maxwell, Mrs. Ffoulke, Mrs. Browne and at Thompson’s drug store and Metze- rott’s music store. German Military Band.—The attraction at Metzerott Music Hall tomorrow evening will be the famous German military band. It is composed of forty-five artists, soloists und expert musicians, and are under the direction of Hugo Weege. The band ap- pears in the original uniform of the Ger- man emperor's body guard, and presents a unique and beautiful appearance. Seats are now on sale at Metzerott’s. Lectures at Georgetown College.—Rev. E. I. Devitt, S. J., will deliver the third lec- ture of the series, given under the auspices of the Georgetown Athletic Association, this evening. ‘The subject is “The Planting of the Faith in America—Spanish, French, English,” and is sure to be well attended, both on account of the lecturer’s popularity and the interesting subject. Beat His Wife. James M Page, an old pensioner who lives on the commons between Lincoln Park and the jail, was married about ten months ago, and last month, when the course of true love did not run smooth, the husband and wife had a meeting which came near resulting in the death of the wife. Mary, the wife, was in the hospital three weeks, and when she went there the doctor was unable to tell whether she was white or colored, because of the number of cuts and bruises about her face and head. Page is seventy-four years old, and last month when he drew his pension he paid | his rent in advance and bought groceries for the three months. Two days after he drew his money he drank several glasses of beer and then went home. When he reached home he sent his wife out with a five-dollar bill to make some purchases, ard she soon returned and reported that she had lost the money. {I don’t deny whippi tHe ol man; “but 1 Alice Le mn Yuca- said h in- her for it not do it tent to kill.” “With what did you beat your wife?” “With my cane.” Although almost killed, the wife @id not want to give evidence against her hus- band, for she did not want him sent to prison.

A Dynamite Explosion Results in Probably Fatal Injuries. Personal injuries of a terribly disfiguring the explosion of dynamite. Mr. Edward C. Broughton, the superintendent of the Po- tomac Stone Company’s quarries, was the victim. The facial mutilation “was hor- ribly severe. The jaw was dislocated, the teeth knocked out, the tongue torn, and the flesh dragged from the cheeks. The explosion was in all probability the result of the carelessness that long and safe con- tact with the explosive produced. All that is definitely known of the details of the accident is to the effect that Mr. Brough- ton was warming a piece of dynamite, which, through a moisture that had gath- ered, had rendered it somewhat unfit for immediate use. Other explosives were about him at the time—giant powder and cartridges. Probably the victim turned his back a moment to watch some of his men at werk, or, unconsciously, while he warmed the explosive in his hands, moved rearer the fire. What is known of the sit- vation is that there was an explosion, a cloud of smoke, and Broughton was seen reeling and tottering about, with his hands to his face. All thought that death would follow immediately on the examination, but he permitted attendance with an ex- Pikition of strength, fortitude and calin- ness that was truly remarkable. He was taken to the Emergency Hos- pital. There physiciars and surgeons gave bim the tenderest attention and the benefit of their finest skill. An operation was per- formed. This morning a reporter was informed at the victim’s home, that his death was hourly expected. Should he survive the direct injuries for any length of time, there is a great probability that blood-poisoning will set it, as it is believed by some of the workmen that Mr. Broughton held between his teeth a fuse cap while he warmed the dynamite. That, exploding, too, did the irner laceration. The powder with which these caps are filled fs said to be poisoning when forced into the flesh. It is a com- perition, containing mercury usus Mr Broughtcn has been married but little over a year.
