A number of selections from the tragedies and comedies of Shakespeare will be pre- sented at Willard Hall April 29 by the students of St. John’s College. Mr. Vin- cent E. Lynch will have charge of the af- fair, and, in ail, fifty-nine characters will be represented in costume. The selections will include scenes from julius Caesar,” “Troilus and Cressida,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Richard M1,” “Hamlet,” “Henry VI," “Taming of the Shrew’ and “The Merchant of Venice.” Among those who will take part in the presentation are Messrs. J. S. Giusta, J. J. Murphy, W. C. Diamond, T. C. Homiller, H. K. Bentley, L. P. Harlow, F. Jo nm, A. J. Sheri- dan, E. N. Bowman, E. Scanlon, G. J. Gannon and L, P. McKenna. a False Pretenses. Yesterday afternvon Detectives Board- man and Quinlan arrested a young man named William R. Thompson and locked him up on a charge of false pretenses. He had been employed as manager of a Tunch room, and after severing his connec- tion with this firm he figured in several alleged swindles, so the police charge. This morning he was taken to the Police Court and tried in one case. It was + charged that he obtained $3 from Mr. C. A. King by representing that he was solicitor for herdic advertisements. Judge Miller heard the case and held the defendant for the action of the grand jury. John Young, a colored man, well known im police circles, was also charged with swindling. He was at one time a “capper” about the Police Court, and has since spent me time in jail. it was charged that he obtained $9.50 from Mary Spencer under the pretense that he would get her sister out of jail. Judge Miller also held him for the grand jury, and he was committed in default of $1,000 security. ————— Threatened His Wife. A man named George Cobert wes tried in the Police Court today for threatening h's wife, and Judge Miller required him to give security or go down for ten days. Liquor is the cause of his trouble. —_+ He Exenped, George L.

Growth of Society and of Manhood— Reasons fcr the Prevailing Un- rest — Question at Issue. The announcement that Mr. Henry E. Davis, a well-known member of the Dis- trict bar, would address the Single Tax Club attracted a fair-sized audience at a public meeting of the club, held at Build- ers’ Exchange Hall, last evening. The sub- ject of Mr. Davis’ address, “A Just and Proper System of Taxation,” was discussed by him for more than an hour in a forcible menner. Mr. Davis was introduced to the meeting by Mr. Jackson H. Ralston, and, in begin- ning his address, declared that it used to be when one suggested something novel the world inquired, Why should it be? But in the course of time the world so changed that today the inquiry is, Why should it not be? The world had advanced to that extent at least, thought Mr. Davis, and to- day the term heresy, once so frequently used, is seen only in historical treatises. Abcut everything novel is right, argued Mr. Davis, and the American and French revclutions were cited as examples of the preposition. And, he asserted, every doc- trine, however startling or novel, is entitled to a hearing. The single tax doctrine, re- marked Mr. Davis, was declared to be novel, and startling even, by some people, but that doctrine would work justice, cure ae of municipal bodies and free so- ciety. Socicty Discussed. Society was discussed at some length, Mr. Davis declaring that the hoasted civiliza- tion of the ancient nations, of Greece and of Rome, and of even Judea, had passed away, because their people built from the top to the bottom, instead of from the bot- tom to the top. Today, he contended, the foremost facts confronting society were those of unrest and of distrust. Those facts existed, not because man has not im- proved morally and intellectually, for he has, said Mr. Davis, but they existed be- cause there is needed a freedom of develop- ment of the individual and a common con- tribution by its members to the needs of society. Society, he explained, depends up- on a modus vivendi, an. arrangement for living together, and true taxation is that levy by society upon the individual of his gocds or comfort. Question at Issue. The great question at issue, thought Mr. Davis, is, Who shall pay the cost of gov- ernment? It is true, he said, that it seems fair in theory that every individual should contribute his share to the support of gov- ernment, but no equal system of taxation hes ever been made, and no plan devised which makes every one pay his or her share of such cost. Equality is not equity, said Mr. Davis, except among equals; and, to illustrate, he cited the case of the rich tax- payer and the poor one, claiming that the inequality of the two made an equitable tax impossible. The single tax people, ex- plained Mr. Davis, contend that taxation is at the root of society, and that as some- thing is radically wrong with the present condition of society something needs cor- rection, that something being the present system of taxation. Unequal Wealth. The ills from which-society of today suffered were due, Mr. Davis believed, to the unequal division of wealth. The child born today is told, he said, that he can occupy no spot of earth, because the whole of it has been pre-empted by those who preceded him. He is told that he is re- sponsible for his coming, that what is is right, and that if he does not like things as he finds them he had better get off the earth. His every effort in life, said Mr. Davis, is taxed, and taxed, too, for the benefit of those who came before him and pre-empted the earth. The single tax man, explained Mr. Davis, says all that is wrong, that the new comer is entitled to a place on earth, and those who have pre-empted the earth should see that he has that right. ° Mankind’s Advance. In conclusion, Mr. Davis sketched the history of mankind, declaring that every acre of land is traceable back to the prim- itive farmer who first held it. He gave no title, for he never was given any. He oc- cupied the land by common consent, and if common consent were now no longer ad- visable, who should say that the right of individual occupation would not fall? There is no vested right in any form of wrong, declared Mr. Davis, and if the fu- ture could have been foreseer,, it is not im- probable that individual occupation of land would have been refused. Mr. Davis was given a rising vote of thanks, and he remarked that if he had succeeded in furthering in the slightest way the progress of the single tax doctrine his efforts had been well rewarded. ——— Another Charge of Street Obstruction. To the Editor of The Evening Sta: The successful issue of the stand taken by The Star and the citizens in the vicinity in the matter of the Belt line cars monopo- lizing the public highway at llth and O streets northwest is a matter for public con- gratulation. Let them now (The Star and the interest- ed citizens) turn their attention to the con- ditions existing at New York avenue and 5th street northwest, and they will find them very similar to those just abated at llth and O streets, only more aggravated and aggravating. Here the horses are not only exchanged, with their consequent noise and danger, but the cars positively obstruct a public crossing for eight out of twenty-four hours daily. Whether there is any legal right in- herent in street railways to do this is a question, but as the steam rairoad com- panies of this city have frequently been brought into court for obstructing public crossings it would seem that a special providence has been interposed in behalf of the Eckington Railroad Company. ‘The writer, more than ten months ago, wrote the District Commissioners on this matter. This was before the day of secret sessions and great mystery, but as no ap- parent action has been taken by them look- ing to a remedy, e:ther the Commiss‘oners were even then preparing to do things in a mysterious manner or else did not intend to do anything at all—probably the latter, judging from the lack of results. The family of the writer have several times been endangered by the changing of horses at this point, and it has been a mat- ter of great wonder (and thankfulness) that no harm has been done them or any of the thousands who use this crossing. The management of the Belt line railway and the Eckington raiiway are under one head, judging from the list of their officials, As they very promptly retracted their po- sition in the case of the Belt railway ob- structions perhaps by the help of The Star and the voice of the outraged citizens whose rights are being trampled upon the Eckington Railway Company may be “‘per- suaded” to give the people a chance to cross a public highway without the annoy- ance of walking all around their cars or the fear of bodily danger. H. S. M. Opposed to a Change. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: “W. W, C.” writes calling attention to the standing cars at 5th and New York avenue. I, for one, protest against taking this convenience from the people of Eck- ington and Brookland, who would h@&ve to walk from New York avenue to L street in all kinds of weather. This convenience was personally asked for by people living in the suburbs, who are already incon- yenienced enough by the numerous trans- fers. BROOKLAND, _——- Walters Art Gallery, April 27th.

AMUSEMENTS. The Grand Opera House—Mr. Stuart Robson has recovered from his illness, and tonight will reappear at the Grand Opera House, presenting Buckstone’s fine old comedy, “Leap Year,” in which he plays the part of Dimple with that unction and finish that has placed him in the front rank of American comedians. “Coronet and Coin.”—A full dress re- hearsal of “Coronet and Coin,” the new opera by Messrs. Fort, Smith and Mac- Leod, took place at the Academy of Music last night. The opera will be given this evening and tomorrow night for the benefit of the Caildren’s Country Home, and, judg- ing from the sale of tickets, will be a most tisfactory affair financially. Those who saw the rehearsal last night can testify to its being most satisfactory in a musical véy. Two topical songs, one by George O'Connor and the other by Messrs. Smith, Thcmrson and Fox, are sure to catch the fency of the audience. Mr. Herndon Mor- sell will sing the role of the lover with all his old-time abandon, while Mrs, Kitty Thompson-Berry will be all that is needed \n the leading soprano role. Miss Florence Grigg will also be heard to good advantage in her solo. Miss Hendrie as the queen, and Mrs. Bangs-Burns as the Spanish maid are both up to the standard. Hub Smith has. the leading comedy role, and nothing is reeded to make it any better. The chorus has been training conscientiously for a lcng time, and are now in a high state of efficiency. The firale in the second act is sure to warrant an encore. Mr. Percy Winter will be the stage director, and will see that everything goes off smoothly in his line. The music and the libretto are well balanced, the former being catchy and bright and the latter full of action, Mr. McLeod will direct the orchestra. New National Theater.—Washington thea- ter goers, or, at least, that many .of them who were at the National last night, were treated to a nofelty in the Ja anese tragedy, called “Heart of Rub: as presented by Miss Ada Rehan and company. This play of old Japan, adapted into English by Huntley Mc- Carthy form the French of Madame Judith Gaudier, as produced by Mr. Daly, is a tragic poem, beautifully bound and illustrated with exquisite pictures. In all its appointments of costumes and scenery, it is old Japanese in quaintness of design, and in the pleasing contrast of the beauti- ful and the ugly, and a prettier series of Japanese pictures than follow each other through its four acts cannot be found out- side of a stereopticon. Of the playing of the play, the very unusualness of Miss Re- han in the smileless character of Tika was irteresting, to say nothing of her work as a tragedienne. There was not much for her to do, but it was enough, for we have learned to love Miss Rehan, in the atmos- phere of lightness and wit, and laughter, and she seems out of place elsewhere. All in all, “Heart of Ruby” is 4 good play to test the capacity of action, and to give au- diences a taste of novelty, but it is not of the kind to win popularity and have a long run in this country, albeit it did run for a hundred nights in Paris, when first pro- duced at the Odeon. Tonight Miss Rehan will be seen as Katharine in Shakespeare's comedy, “Taming of the Shrew.” Capital Glee Club's Concert.—Metzerott Music Hall was crowded last night by the friends of the Capital Glee Club and the Rubenstein Club, and the concert which these two organizations gave was one which reflected great credit on every one connected with it. The program was open- ed by the Capital Glee Club. It sang “Steersman, Leave the Watch,” from the “Flying Dutchman,” with spirit and force, the parts being heard with great distinct- ness. In the yocal combat, which was the fourth number on the program, the tenors proved themselves to be equally as good as the basses. The combining of the two songs, “Ther You'll Remember Me,” sung by. the tenors, and “Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep,” sung by the basses, resulted in some beautiful and varied harmony. The Rubenstein Club was fully up to the stand- ard. In their first number, ‘April Moods,” the parts were well balanced, and the tones were pure and strong. In their last num- ber, “Down the Rhine,” they received such an ovation that they had to respond to an encore, singing a quiet Jittle piece in which the deiicacy of tone and fine shading were unsurpassed by any ladies’ glee club which has been heard here for a long time. The second part of the program was given up to*Gade's cantata, “The Crusaders,” in which Mr. Cloward sang the part of Peter the Hermit; Mrs. F. A. Gardner, Armida, and Mr. Melville Hensey, Rinaldo, the ac- companists being Mr. Archibald Olmstead and Miss Clara Fassett. Altogether, it was a most successful affair, reflecting great credit upon Mr. Cloward for his efficient work as director, and upon the members of both organizations for thelr excellent sing- ng. Wimodaughsis Exhibit.—The rooms of the Wimodaughsis were crowded yesterday by those who had come to see the dining room and kitchen exhibit, which still continues &t that place. Among the new articles which have been added to the collection are several pieces of china which had been used at the White House, loaned by Mrs. Cc. A. Brandenburg; a curious dish made at Liverpool, loaned by Mrs. John Sherman, and other articles both curious and beauti- ful loaned by Mrs. A. H. Thompson, Major J. W. Powell and Mrs. Mayfield. Last even- ing Misses Bond and McNelly sang, wita Dr. Bischoff as accompanist, Prof. Meyer and Mr. Pfeiffer gave piano sclos, Masters Glenn and Earl Phelps played violin duets and Miss Snyder gave a recitation. Trinity College Clubs.—The Trinity Col- lege Glee, Banjo and Mandolin clubs gave a successful concert at the National Rifles’ armory last evening. The audience was large, and encores were exceedingly fre- quent. The mandolin club and the banjo club were received enthusiastically. The feature of the evening was “The Song of the Flag,” the music of which was com- posed by Dudley Buck and the words by Richard Burton. Altogether, the clubs forming the Trinity College contingent justified all the expectations of those who have had this concert in view for the last few weeks. The Kneisel Quartet—The sale of seats for the Kneisel Quartet, who wiil appear in their second annual chamber music con- cert at Builders’ Exchange Hall next Monday evening, is rapidly progressing. ‘The excellence of this organization, every member of which {s an artist, is well known. The club was formed seven years ago, and has met with success after suc- cess wherever appearing, and it is safe to say that in no similar organization does such absolute unity of musical thought, grace and beauty of playing and scholarly interpretation exist. The program will con- sist of eight numbers, among which will be Beethoven's quartet in G major, Op. 18, No. 2, and Schumann's quartet in A major, Op. 41, No. 3. Programs may be had now upon application at Droop & Son's, 801 Market space, where the sale is progressing. Uncle Tom's Cabin.—‘‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin” never grows old. There runs through it a vein of pathos peculiarly touching and sweet. It speaks the universal language of the heart. It is refreshing to see the old play in its natural habiliments once more. It is like meeting an old friend after many years. The manager doubtless believes in the maxim, ‘‘What’s worth doing is worth doing well.” They have brought together in this production all the requisites that go Soehoseoeteetecsontonioetente 3 seeseatens sSeegees LPP MND ; ROYAL j ?

Mr. Rogers’ becture—Rev. Arthur G. Rogers, pastor of: the Church of Our Father, gave a most interesting illustrated lecture last night at that church, for the benefit of the charity fund of Encampment No. 9, Union Veterans’ kegion. The church was well filled and @ handsome sum was netted. The topic of tthe lecture was “To Europe and Back In An Hour,” but so any were the pictures,cand so entertain- ing the various stories teld by Dr. Rogers, who is a native of England and knows the ground thoroughly, that<the trip occupied an hour and fifty-five minutes, and there was then no time to Jamil the tourists on these shores once more. The Opera of “Telemach.”—The produc- tion of “Telemach,” Emile G. Mori's new opera, promises to be quite a success. The principal characters are Telemach, Me- lanthe and Ulysses. The first of these is to be taken by Miss Marie Brandis, the sec- ond by Miss Clara Rosafy and the third by Mr. A. H. Young. The character of Penel- ope is to:be personated by Mrs..Chas. Stone and that of Burynome by Miss Helen West- ford. Miss Westford will also represent the marble statue of the Goddess Pallas Athene. Miss Nanon Gaisberg, as a ballet dancer, three herders and four suitors to Penel- epe’s hand, together with a tramp and a herald, complete the cast. The services of Mr. Wm. E. Poulton have veen secured as stage manager. The--chcrus consists of about twenty voices, which are being trained by Prof. Mori so as to give the con- certed numbers with precision and effect. The scenery has been painted especially for the opera, and costumes are being made as rapidly as possible. Prof. Mori has orches- trated his work, getting just the effects he wanted, and is perfectly familiar with every line of both vocal and instrumental music. The opera will be given at Metzerott’s Mu- sic Hall May 1. Dramatic Readings.—Miss Ida Benfey of New York, who is to deliver a course of dramatic readings, commencing with Dick- ens’ Tale of Two Cities,’ at the Memo- rial Lutheran, makes a specialty of drama- tizing the celebrated writers, Victor Hugo, Dickens and George Eliot, and has now in preparation “‘Job,” the most celebrated of all Biblical stcries. She has a large share of comprehension and an unusual gift of interpretation and has shown both wisdom and enterprise in the selection of her new subjects. Miss Benfey’s voice is of won- derful fiexibility and her’ pronunciation is delightful to listen to. No one who has the appreciation of good reading will miss hear- ing her while in this city Friday and Sat- urday of this week. The Tyrolean Queen.—Tonight is the last regular performance of ‘The Tyrolean Queen,” by the children of St. Aloysius Sunday school, the performance tomorrow night being for the benefit of the colored people of the parish, and matinee Saturday | for the orphans. Last night the hall was filled to its utmost capacity, over 30) people being turned away because the hall would accommodate no more. Al. Fennell and Miss Mary Cuddy sing “Sweet Miss Indus- try” between the second and third acts, while Elsie Worth and Leroy Walter, tots of five years, give some excellent fancy dancing. The parts in the play are well taken by each of the characters. — A Washington Firm Reaching Ont. Although not a manufacturing city, Washinztcn is the only city in the United States that can boast of an absolutely fire- proof building, deveted to the manufacture of mattresses, bedding, etc. Mr. Ed. Stumph, of the firm of Stumph & Bro., Washington, issin town working up a trade for their goods among the dea!- ers here, and it’s through the hustle and enterprise of these young men that the capital city owes its achievement in the line of manufacture, and whose example and precedent other cities and other man- ufacturers would do wellito emulate. ‘The burring and totad @estruction of the Stumph building, in Washington, last fall, in which seven lives were lost, is still a horrible memory. On this same spot there now towers one of the shandsomest busi- ness properties in the :country—a mussive five-story building, of stone and_ brick, fronting on Massachusetts avenue on one side and K street on the other—absolutely fire-proot from basementxto roof. The basement of the building is devoted to the cleaning of carpets. The entire five floors above are used In!the manufacture of iron and brass beds,» bedding and the famous reversible ‘mattress, which is alike on both sides, and therefore has: twice the service in it as has the one-sided mattress, and which, by the way, ‘costs no more than the erdinary mattress.
