The entertainment given by the Sewing Guild of the Legion of Loyal Women at their hall, 419 10th street northwest, last night, proved to be a very. unique and en- Joyable affair. It consisted of a dancing “looking backward” party and a literary and musical program. All who took part in the dancing wore fancy costumes so ar- ranged as to give each one the appearance of looking and walking backward. Miss Louise Hopwood and Mr. Will Osburne re- ceived the prizes for the best costumes. Those who contributed to the program were Mrs. E. A. Hilton, Misses Helen Aye, Cora Penfield, Gardiner, Rose, Latham -and Messrs. David Waters and W. M. Barrows. ———— “Ye Old Folks” at Hamline Church. “Ye Old Foiks” paid a visit to Hamline M. E. Church last night. They were received enthusiastically, and their visit netted quite a sum in aid of the Woman's Foreign Mis- sion and the Parsonage Aid Society of Hamline Chapel. The young people were not allowed to take part in this perform- ance, except such part as the audience had, the older ones doing all the performing. Some of the costumes were very pretty and striking, representing as they did colonial day's, and the songs and recitations render- ed were heartily enjoyed by all present. Those who took part in the program were: Mesdames Brown, Townes, Payne, Street, Mickle, Bushby, Burdette, Wheelock, Ma- gruder, Benton, Perry, Proctor, Spencer, Dolan, Williams, Little, Barbour, Reinohl, Davis, Quinter, Humphrey, Alvin, Andrews, McCoy, Roach, Martin and Hunt. Misses Ledington,’ Thomp: mt and Biscoe,and Messrs Reinohl, Longley, Neiman, Young, Williams, Gannon, Humphrey, Hunt, Martin, Mickie and Judge O'Neil. Mrs. J. R. Mickle was the musical conductor and Miss Fannie Bischoff the pianist. SS eee The Damrosch Society’ Soiree. The Damrosch Society gave its first soiree at its club rooms last even!ng, a program of excellence and merit being rendered by the members of the society. It consisted of solos by Miss Florence Stidham and Hern- don Morsell; a piano solo by Mr. Vavella, the accompanist of the society; selections by a qintet, consisting of two violins, two Pianos and a ‘cello; and also by a trio of two violins and a piano. A quartet, com- posed of Mrs. Morsell, Mrs. Smith, Miss Claudia Moore and Miss Florence Grigg, rendered several numbers, accompanied by Miss Fareias and the Damrosch Society. The rest of the evening was taken up by social greetings, Mr. James Traylor making a few remarks in explanation of the objects of the society and saying that they expect- ed to fill a field in mus‘c in Washington which had never before been covered. The executive committee of the affair was Dr. D. H. Riggs, Mr. William A. D. Domer and Mr. George Cooper. —— National Statistical Association. The National Statistical Association held a@ meeting last evening for the clection of a president, Mr. Spofford finding {t impos- sible for him to serve longer because of his numerous other duties. Henry A. Rubin- son, statistician of the Agricultural De- partment, was elected. The amended con- stitution was then adopted. The objects of the association are to ascertain the sources of statistical information and the methods used in compilation; also the dis- cussion of social, industrial and commercial questions as developed by statistics. The membership of the association consists largely of those specially engaged in sta- tistical work, and many interesting and un- published facts concerning the methods of securing and compiling data are brought out by the papers delivered at the different meetings. The scope and purpose of the association is national, ex-officio officers being located in each state and territor: The committee on the publication of Statistical Journal for the coming year consists of Col. Weston Flint, Joseph Nim- mo, jr., Prof. Smiley, Mr. Frederick C. Waite and Wm. M. Steuart. po eee The Tax on Gamblers.

St. Alban’s Successful Entertainment— Other Local Notes From Across Rock Creek. A quantity of miscellaneous imported gccds, on which the duty had not been paid, were put up at public auction yester- day at the Georgetown custom house. There were thirty bicycles among the lot— most of them of a make not popular now. They sold for a comparative song, an average of $12.50 apiece being realized for them. A mass of machinery, tiling, etc., elso went. off cheaply, as did several pairs of very handsome buckskin riding breeches. The latter sold for $8.50 a pair. They are said to have cost $25 in London, and would probably have sold for $30 in any first-class American store. There also went off a lot of unique cigars ette holders and crdinary clothes, together with a quantity of Rechabite literature. There was a large crowd present at the sele. Ratcliffe was the auctioneer. Potomac Commandery. Eminent.

It is designed to. Build up the fund to be used in the trip to Bos- ton this summer, where the Knights Tem- plar from all sections will convene. George- town will send a big representation. St. Alban’s Benefit. St. Alban’s benefit entertainment came off last night at Linthicum Hall. The pro- gram, largely furnished by the “Linthicum Students,” was artistically presented. Three sketches, embracing the illustration of Pathos, comedy and farce, were the prin- cipal features of the night. The first was “Poisoned,” a revival, with a new cast, Robert F. Lowe being “Mr. Mivins,” Thos. Fleming “Mrs. Priggott,” Jas. Keliher “Dr. Brown” and Wm. Sebastian “Tom.” The play proved éven more taking than under the original cast. “Yellow Roses” received its initial pro- duction here. It proved to be an exquisite little bit of gruffness and sentiment, and held the closest attention of the audience. Miss Helen Prentiss Donohue and Mr. J. Barton Miller sustained the parts of. Mrs. Peveril and “Col. St, Clair.” Their efforts met with a flattering reception. “Yellow Roses” is likely to prove one of the most -popular plays in the students’ repertoire. Following this came the always welcome “geras of darkeyism” by R. Clinton Bal- inger, and selections ably rendered by Prof. A. S. Ogle, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Tribby. The fancy dances by the pupils of Miss Clara Stevens were enjoyable, and the solo work of Mr. Joseph C. Murray particularly so. Mr. Murray was encorea strongly after his “In Old Madrid.” Mr. Samuel Boyle, in humorous selections, accomplished well his object. “A Cup of Tea,” with the cast who have mgpe this clever play a success, was the closing feature of the night. The inter- ruptions of applauders were frequent. Messrs. Coilins and Keliher and Miss Don- ohue built upon their past work. Notes. Mr. Frank Rabbitt and Miss Mamie Sul- livan were married last night at Grace Episcopal Church by the Rev. Geo. Howell. Miss Kate Magruder acted as bridesmaid and Mr. F. J. Schofield as best man. The horses attached to one of Smoot’s big milk wagons ran away last night in crossing the Chain bridge, upsetting the vehicle and spilling nearly forty gallons of milk. The runaway was held up over on the District side of the bridge. John J. Harrington is erecting a store and hall on 32d street below N. The hall will be used by the various colored socie- ties of Georgetown as a meeting place. The Bal Poudre cotillion is to take place at Linthicum Hall tomorrow evening. Those who have been invited to join can do so by applying to the secretary at 3043 P street until Friday evening for their cards of admission. Admissioh is only by card. Mr. Wm. F. Hunt is out again after a confinement of a number of days. Mr. S. Thos. Brown is also about again after a very weakening spell. a A WOMAN TRUSTEE. Washington Alumni of Cornell to Sup- port Miss Thomas’ Candidacy. A few weeks ago The Star noted the fact that the Washington Alumni Association of Cornell University had decided to advo- cate the candidacy of Miss Martha Carey Thomas, class of ‘77, president of Bryn Mawr College, for one of the five additional alumni trustees provided for by the revised charter of the university, in addition to supporting Dr. D. E. Salmon of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, tie local candidate. There are sixteen graduates nominated, of whom but five will be elected. This is the first time in the history of the university that an attempt has been made to have the alumnae represented on the board of trustees, and the result of the ex- periment will be watched with interest in collegiate circles. Miss Thomas is person- ally well qualified for the position, having, since graduating from Cornell, studied at Johns Hopkins University, Leipsig, Paris and Zurich, receiving the degree of Ph. D. at the latter institution. On her return to this country in 1585 she was appointed dean of Bryn Mawr College, which position she held until 1803, when she was elected pres- ident of that college. The circular an- nouncing her nomination is signed by near- ly 200 graduates of both sexes, among whom are several of the other candidates. President Schurman of Cornell, in a re- cent letter, says: “Iam in favor of giving women some representation in the board of trustees of Cornell University, and I have some hope that among the trustees to be elected by the board one at least may be a womat The result of the election will be an- nounced July 17, 1895. ———>__ A FLAG PRES! ATION. Preparations for a Brilliant Affair at the Rifles’ Armory. The society ladies in charge of the ad- mirable charity at the Newsboys’ Home promise to make the flag presentation at the National Rifles’ Armory tomorrow night quite a delightful event. It is not often that a local charity receives such a handsome bequest as $30,000, given the Newsboys’ Home, and there {s pleasant and substuntial proof that many another lady retains her interest in these waits whom men meet in eddies around the street corners calling out the daily papers. Frem the time of Chief Justice Waite, who was the first pr nt of the board of trustees, till now, when Mr. Crosby 8. Noyes fills the position, perhaps no more interesting event has occurred than is ar- ranged for tomorrow night. The hundred ladies of the society wili be out in force to see the newsboys as they march in, hundred strong, headed by a band and whistling in their marvelous way the uwanee river and other popular .songs. an opportunity to see their proteges so orderly is not often offered, and the patriotic societies, both ladies and gentle- men, with their shining insignia, always nterest to the events they are asso- with.

Rejane gave Sans Gene” last night and it was marked by that care and finish, that vitality and crispness that were noted in the first presentation of that play. Tonight she will be seen in “Ma Cousine,” in which her abilities as a come- dienne will be allowed full play. On Sat- urday night Prof. Geo. H. Sheldon will re- peat his juvenile performance of “Cinder- ella” with the same children, the same scenery and mechanical effects as made the ballet pantomime so successful when first given some weeks ago. “She” at the Bijou.—Next Monday A. Y. Pearson’s big spectacular production “She” will be the attraction. In this play the book is closely followed, and although at times it is somewhat weird-like, there is such a clever vein of comedy interwoven through the whole, which pleases and re- lieves the monotony. The scenic effects are remarkable, especially in the last act,where Ayesha, the Queen of Kor, steps into the mysterious fire and is reduced from a beautiful woman to the hideous condition of a mummy. Mr. Chester de Vaude and Mr. Fredericks are both good actors, and the comedy portion is in the capable hands of Messi Clayton and Davis. Miss Sadie Farley, “She who must be obeyed,” is ‘beautiful and dignified, and Miss Church as “Ustave” is effective. The balance of the company are strong in their respective roles. Kne‘sel Quartet—On_ Monday evening, April 29, the famous Knelsel Quartet of Boston will appear at the Builders’ Ex- change Hall, in a select chamber music concert. This is the seccnd annual concert given by this organization, and will be one of the musical events of the season. Sub- scription list is now open at Droop & Sons’, 801 Market space. Olmo Mandolin Club's Concert.—Carroll Institute Hall was filled last night by the friends of the Olmo Mandolin and Banjo ‘Orchestra. The occasion was the annual concert of the club, and the large audience was delighted with the character of the Music and the manner in which it was rendered. The club was assisted by an un- usually good assemblage of talent, their versatility being such that the names of Sousa and Chopin were enabled to be put side by side. The Olmo Club, consisting of Messrs. Galleher, - Wilmarth, Barringer, Babcock, Krug and Yount, and under the direction of its efficient leader, Mr. A. V. Holmes, rendered some delightful and dif- fleult music. Mr. W. H. Krug and Mrs. J. L. Crook gave Chopin’s Polonaise Militaire as a piano duet, Miss Abbie Johnson gave a pleasing pantomime, followed by Mr. Geo. O'Connor in some of his well known songs. Mrs. A. V. Holmes sang “Little Heart and Miss Eleanore U. Simonds rendered the flower song from “Faust.” The High School Banjo Club were also on the program and gave the Watermelon Dance in good style. After the performance dancing was indulged in, a program of ten numbers being rendered for the dancers. “Snowball” at Wiliard Hall. — Sydney Grundy’s three-act farcical comedy “Snow- ball” was presented at Willard Hall last evening by Miss Ellen Vockey and Mr. C. Garvin Gilmaine, assisted by a company of picked artists of the city. Miss Vockey was the particular star, and the reception which she received last evening encour- aged her very much, on account of her be- ginning her starring tour on the 20th in- stant. Mr. Gilmaine and Miss Vockey played opposite parts last evening, as Mr. and Mrs. Featherstone, the other members of the cast being Miss Agnes Vasser, as Ethel Granger; Miss Marie Flood, as Penel- ope; Edwin Filbert Campbell, as_ Uncle J. Raymond Park, as Harry Pender- st, and Charles F. Purdy, as Saunders. The music between the acts was rendered by the Imperial Banjo and Mandolin Club. Those who took part in the vocal part of the program were Mine. Esputa Daly, Miss Merle Esputa, Dr. J. A. Daly and Mr. Lucius Randolph. Columbia Athletic Club.—Miss M. Frances Miller, soprano, of Baltimore, will appear at the entertainment to be given by the Columbia Athletic Club at the Academy of Music Monday evening next. She will be accompanied by Dr E. 8S. Kimball. Miss Miller is said to possess a natural voice of large volume, pure in the middle register and of great delicacy in the upper tones. The other attractions of the program will be such as to greatly please the large audi- ence which it is expected willibe present on that occasion. An Automaton Piano.—Eyery day this week at intervals between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. there will be a concert, which will be free to all who care to come and hear it, at the temporary Steinway piano warerooms, which are located at present at 801 Market space, in conjunction with Mr. Wm. H. Hoeke. The concert is for the purpose of showing the new au- tomaton, or self-playing piano. It is said to be one of the greatest inventions of the age, and if an extensive repertoire is any criterion, it certainly is all that is claimed for it. The concert will comprise selections from Beethoven, Weber, Wagner, Liszt and all the standard composers, as well as the works of those who are now well known and active in the music world. till Waters Run Deep.”—The production of “Still Waters Run Deep” by the Carroll Institute Dramatic Club this evening prom- ises to be as successful an affair as their fcrmer production was. The members will be assisted by the Carroll Institute Orches- tra, an organization of sterling worth. Every part has been carefully gone over, and every detail, no matter how minute, Fas been smoothed down and practiced with as much faithfulness as though the success of the play dep2nded on this one point. It is this which makes this club so successful in its productions. Mr. Jas. A. Mahoney will have the supervision of the performance. ————— * Lafayette Corps’ Reception. Lafayette Corps, W. R. C., was the hos- tess last evening at a most delightful re- ception in honor of Henry Wilson Post, No. 17, of the Soldiers’ Home. The hostess numbered about fifty and the guests of honor twenty-five. The commander of the post, Jacob Moore, made an entertaining address quite complimentary to the W. R. ©. and was followed by Senior Vice Com- mander Abraham Carpenter of Wilson Post, who 1s a veteran of all the wars since the Mormon war, and can tell a lot about each one; Comrade August.Smith, a veteran of all the wars since 1855; Officer of the Day C. H. Mansfield, Chaplain J. H. Cole and several others. While refreshments were being served, Lafayette Post, accompanied by Depart- ment Commander Anderson and his staff, filed in and were introduced to the corps and guests by Mrs. Miller, the president. Mrs. Anna Hamilton, department president W. R. C., and her staff, Mrs. Indiana Cow- ling,P.D. president,and half a hundred other" guests were present. There was a musical program and plenty of speechmaking, and the old vets went back to the home thoroughly pleased with their reception. Se Se The Productions of Mr. Chas. Armor, Artist.

Some of the Features of the Program at Their Benefit. The Morton Cadets’ big benefit, for the purpose of raising funds to send the en- terprising company to the Memphis inter- state drill, is an assured artistic success, and the program to be presented has sel- dom been surpassed as regards merit in this city. The entertainment is to take place tomorrow evening in Metzerott Music Hall Miss Annie Lewis, the popular lit- tle soubrette, will sing ou Can’t Play in My Back Yard,” asioriginally presented by her in “Prince Pro Tem” at the Boston Museum. The Philharmonic Quartet will give “Fisher's Wodding,” and the Apollo Quartet will give “Sunshine,” while Misa Mary Helen. Howe 4s to sing Arditi’s “Ec- stacy Waltz.” An aria from \\Lueretia Borgia” is the selectton of Prof. Mariano Maina, the well-known barytone. Hub Smith and George H. O'Connor each have a budget of pleasing and decidedly amus- ing comic songs, and Messrs. Cullen and Collins are princely entertainers with the banjo. The ability of Mr. Sol. Minster as a violin soloist is well known, and the Car- roll Institute Orchestra, which will give several numbers, has earned a valuable local reputation.” Mr. J. Karr, the jeweler, has donated a handsome gold medal to be presented to the winner of the individual competitive drill, open to commissioned officers of the regiment of High School Cadets, which will corclude the program.
