Se mER ALES Conference. Arrangements are being made for a Bible conference to be held the second week in June at Old Point Comfort, under the di- rection of Rev. A. C. Dixon, D. D., pastor of one of the prominent churches of Brook- lyn. These Bible conferences resulted from the great revival movement which swept Ireland in 1860, and were originated in this country by Rev. George C. Needham and James Tyler in New York eight years later. The coming conference is the first one held in the south, and John DeWitt of Brooklyn, known as the Drummer Evangel- ist, president of the International Com- mercial Clubs of King’s Sons, is making preparations for the reception of delegate: Gov.

WELLFOUGHT BATTLE The members and friends of the High School Cadets representing ‘the Central, Eastern and Business schools did not see the electric lights burn last night; te them @ total eclipse had occurred, and all was darkness and gloom. Across. Rock creek, in Georgetown, however, the state of af- fairs was diametrically differént, for there shouts resounded, bells rang and all ap- peared joyous and gay. The explunation is simple. A board of army officers, con- sisting of Capt. Chase, Capt. French and Licut. Whitney, had declared company H, the organization from the Western, to be the best drilled company of the regiment, as demonstrated in the annual company competition of the High School Cadets. The decision resulted in inexpressible dis- appointment to eight companies and unre- strained happiness to the other. Since September last, upon the annual re- organization of the regiment, every cadet has been looking forward to the friendly contest with the hope that his particular company might prove victor, and gain pos- session of the prize banner and red rib- bons, Several months ago, when Mr. Alli- son Nailor donated an exquisite medal, set with five solitaire diamonds, to be worn by the captain of the-| winning company, in- terest in the compe- tition was far more than doubled, and there Is no question- Capt. Taussig. ing the declaration that the annual company prize drill which reached an end last evening was more hot- ly contested than any other in tho annals of the Washington high schools. A Gay Scene. Companies A, B, C, D of the Central High School, and company H of the West- ern, forming the first battalion, drilled Thursday afternoon, and yesterday the sec- ond battalion, consisting of companies F, and G of the Eastern High School and companies E and I of the Business, ap- peared to be scrutinized by the judges. The attendance exceeded that of the preceding day to a noticeable degree, and the scene was worth going a long way to see. Every seat in the grand stand and in the bleach- ers held either a parent, friend or sweet- heart of the cadets, with the latter largely in the majority. There was a vibrating mass of color, a never-ceasing series of company yells and a clapping of hands. The Drills. The first company to enter the field was I, under Capt. Grayson, and it was wel- comed with unstinted applause, a generous sounding of gongs and repeated cheers. Although it made an excellent showing company I was not above criticism. The drill consumed twenty-five minutes, and Capt. Grayson, after receiving a huge bouquet, marched ‘his company from the field amid a tumult of enthusiasm among the Business School portion of the specta- tors. The next company to take the field was E, Capt. Jones, and it also was flatteringly received by the Business School contingent. The general drill of company E was very good. Thirty minutes Were consiimed and the captain was rewarded with several baskets of flowers. The friends of the Eastern School went mentally wild when Capt. Sites and com- pany F appeared on the diamond. Twenty-seven minutes were occupied by the drill of company F, and its friends ad- judged it a sure winner. ‘The final company to drill was G, under Capt. Howard, also of the Eastern School. The drill was exceptionally fair in many particulars. It occupied twenty-eight min- utes, Company H Won. While the judges were in consultation the ceremony of regimental dress parade was given, participated in by the Mount Pleas- ant Drum Corps, and proved of great in- terest. As the nine companies stood at “parade rest” the judges, accompanied by Commissioner Ross, Mr. Allison Nailor, Dr. F. R. Lane and Maj. B. R. Ross, moved forward, and Capt. Chase gave a whispered direction to Col. Shuster. The latter in turn directed his adjutant to notify company H to move to the front, and then pandemonium broke loose. The friends of the Western school were wild with excitement and joy, and they made the day hideous. Capt. Taussig was pre- sented with the prize banner, with red rib- bons for each member of the company and with the costly Allison Nailor medal. The regiment was then marched from the grounds, and the exciting drill of 1894-95 had reached an end. I Mr. Nailor later entertained the company at his residence, and in the evening a big jollification meeting was held at the West- ern, when speeches were made, songs sung and yells given for several hours. It is the first time in the history of the Western school company that it has won the prize. Grand Opera House.—Frederie Bond und Company will present during the coming week at the Grand Opera House the three- act farcial comedy, “Pink Dominos.” The success of this sprightly French comedy in this country a few years ago is well remembered by many theater-goers. After the Paris and London success of the piece it was produced by A. M. Palmer’s Union Square Theater Company, New York city, with great success, and numbered among the cast were such well-known players as Charles Coglan, Agnes Booth and Maud Harrison, the latter making her initial hit by her performance of the naughty French maid, “Rebecca.” The play has been in active rehearsal during the past week, and the patrons of the Grand Opera House stock company may be sure of witnessing a smooth and laughable performance on Monday evening. New National Theater.—Next week will be inaugurated the regular summer comedy season at the New National Theater, and the initial plays will be “Nita’s First,” an amusing comedy by D. G. Warren, which was first produced in the Novelty Theater, London, in March, 'S4, and made a great success, preceded by “A Love Game.” The company that has been secured includes those who have been favorites for several seasons, and who will be heartily wel- comed. The full list is as follows: Charles Coote, Alfred Hudson, Percy Winter, Chas. Bowser, Jos. Wheelock, jr., Chas. Mack: Perey Brooke, Misses Lillian Lawrence, Mary. Saunders, Fannie Addison Pitt, Fran- ces Stevens, Helena Chalmers and Mar- garet Giddin. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The attrac- tion at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week, beginning with the matinee on Tues- day, will be made up of a number of high- class specialty acts and scientific sparring contests. The specialty artists will include Mons. Grigal and Mile. Ortiz, in their mar- velous act, entitled Psycho-Hypnotic Mod- els; Miss Dorothy Drew, the little magnet; Smith and Champion, the original sketch Johnson and Mack, refined Irish ns; Miss Nellie Seymour, character vocalist and dancer, and the Heely Broth- ers, eccentric acrobatic comedians. The feature of the matinee performance be a battle royal of ten rounds betw altimore feather-weights and ington boys of the same class. two The of the night performance will he a ten-round bout between Howard Wilson, ch ion _feather-weight of the District, and Joe Gans, 125-pound champion of the south. Manager Kernan’s Big Benefit.—The pro- gram arranged for the benefit performance to Manag: Sugene Kernan at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater Monday night contains all SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1895—TWENTY PAGES. the features which the habitues of variety theaters regard as highly interesting. The program is made up of professional artists, & number of whom will come direct from New York city to participate, and others who have volunteered their services are Washingtonians who are at home for the summer months; among these may be men- tioned: Mr. L. A. Roginski, in his famous exhibition of art cycloidotrope; George Graham, the favorite monologue artist, late of Hopkins’ Trans-Oceanic Stars, and Master Solly Goldsmith, the juvenile char- acter artist. The New York contingent will include Mons. Grigal and Mlle. Ortiz, who are described as the psycho-hypnotic models; the Heely Brothers, eccentric ac- robat comedians; Nellie Seymour, ‘char- acter vocalist; Johnson and Mack, the Kings of Ireland; Dorothy Drew, the charming little vocalist and dancer, and Smith and Champion, refined sketch ar- tists. The music will be furnished by Prof. Richard F. Wagner, with augmented or- chestra from Local No. 16 of the National League of Musicians. The performance will conclude with a grand cake walk, in which twenty-five couples will participate, and Peter Barnes will act as master of ceremonies. J - Academy of Music.—Halevy’s opera, “The Jewess,” was given by the Hinrichs Com- pany at the Academy of Music last night to the largest audience of the season, and its interpretation elicited the most liberal applause. Those who are especially to be commended for their excellent singing and their forceful acting are Mme. Kronold and Mons. Guille. Two better interpreters of the title role and the part of Eleazer it would be difficult to find, and their ef- forts were promptly recognized by the audience. Mme. Van Cauteren, Sigs. Mich- elena and Viviani were also fully equal to the parts assigned them, and the chorus and orchestra were efficient. The engage- ment of this excellent company will clos: tonight with “I Pagliacci” and ‘‘Trovatore,” in which all the artists will appear, except Campanari, whose place will be taken by Del Fuente, who is a great favorite in’ this city. Butler's Bijou Theater.—“Uncle Tom's Cabin” never grows old. Notwithstanding its frequent pro@uctions, it is seldom one sees the play as it is now presented by the John P. Smith’s Colossal Spectacular Company. 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 to make up a first-class entertainment. John P. Smith's Colossal Spectacular Uncle Tom's Cabin Company will appear at But- ler’s Bijou Theater all next week, with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Carroll Institute Hall._The Entre Nous Ciub, under the direction of Mr. C. Garvin Gilmaine, will present the two comedies, “Snowball” and “My Wife's Bonnet,” at Carroll Institute Hall Monday evening next. Both plays are strong and will be put on in a manner to please the most critical, The Entre Nous Club have been seen a number of times in_ different sketches, and each time they have been showered with compliments on their ex- cellent showing, and they propose that the coming event shall in no way be below the standard already set by them. Mr. Waggaman’s Gallery.—There is no private art gallery in the city that has the attraction for the beauty-loving con- tingent of Washington that Mr. Thomas E. Waggaman’s gallery has, and every time that it is opened to the public the place is thronged by a crowd of enthusi- asts and curious sightseers. The gallery is at 3300 O street, and it will be opened to the public Monday, May 27, from 1 to 10 Ps the proceeds to go for the benefit of the District exhibit at the Atlanta exposi- tien. The admission to be charged is 7) cents. The affair will be directly under the direction of Mrs. Lamont and Miss Morton, while tickets may be obtained of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Lancaster or at the door. Emmet Guard Fete.—Last night was the most successful night of the week in point of numbers at the Emmet Guard's encamp- ment and fete at Capito! Park, and a large number availed themselves of the attrac- tions to be found there. Several contests were on last night, and attracted consid- erable attention. Miss Annie and Master John Downey gave an exhibition of fancy dancing. In the shot-putting contest there were twelve entries. Mr. Pat Ready won, putting It 29 feet 7 inches, with Mr. W. Gallagher second, 26 feet 9 inches. The Irish jig and reel was won by Miss Delia Fahey, who danced down five competitors. The 100-vard dash was won by Mr. Glotz- bach. Time, 11 seconds. The 100-yard dash of national guardsmen in heavy marching order was won by Sergt. Mackey of the fifth battalion, with Sergt. Whipp a close second. An Organ Recital—Prof. John Porter Lawrence will give an organ recital at Waugh M. E. Church, corner 3d and A streets northeast, Friday evening next at 8 o'clock. Mr. Lawrence's ability as an organist is well-known, and it is safe to predict an unusually ‘successful recital. His work at St. Matthew's has entitled him to rank among the foremost organists of the city, and he will present an unusual- ly attractive program. ———— EXCURSIONS. The Columbia Turn Verein gives an ex- cursion to River View tomorrow. There will be a grand athletic exhibition on the grounds, and a prize bowling contest has already many entries. Arth’s Band will render the music, and the jolly Germans who compose this popular organization will not be at a loss for the means of en- joyment, both for the outer and inner man. ‘The Pentz will leave at 10:45 a. m. and 3 and 6 p. m. An excursion to Pen-Mar and Gettysburg will be given, under the auspices of Nelson Division, No. 2, U. R. K. of P., Decoration day. An exceedingly pleasant time is an- ticipated by those who have already secured tickets, and a large crowd is looked fcrward to by the management of the af- fair. Gettysburg is the ideal place to go on Decoration day, and the beauties of Pen- Mar are too well known to need any em- bellishment. - Trains will leave via the Pennsylvania road at 8:30 a. m., and will arrive at Pen-Mar at noon. The last planked shad dinner of the sea- son will be given at Marshall Hall tomor- row. ‘There is no place in the world that is as famous for this delicacy as Marshall Hall, and in tomorrow's repast the man- agers of the affair will do the closing of the season full justice. The steamer Mac- alester leaves her wharf, foot of 7th street, at 11 a. m. and 2.30 p. 'm., and_will leave the hall at 1:10 and 6:30 p.m. Ladies are especially invited on these excursions. Everything possible will be done for the comfort of those who may go down on this, the last planked shad excursion of the season. There will be a Sunday excursion to Colonial Beach tomorrow, and the mag- nificent new steamer City of Richmond will leave her wharf at the foot of 6th street at 9 a. m. The capacity of this boat is 2,000, and everything about it is conducive to comfort and ease. A fine or- chestra will render music going down, com- ing back and on the grounds, and, as there are no end of pleasant things for enjoyment when the resort is reached, an exceedingly pleasant time may be looked for by ail who go on the excursion. The Interstate Democratic Club give an ex@ursion to Marshall Hall the 20th in- stant, for the purpose of raising funds to build’a club house, where they will estab- lish their permanent headquarters. Speech- es, music and dancing will occupy the time at the hall, and many prominent and bril- liant speakers are on the list for short talks, while those of the younger contin- gent are enfoying the privileges of the dancing pavilion. ——__ Elks at River View. Capt. Randall tendered the Washington Lodge, No. 15, B, P. O. Elks, a complimen- tary excursion to River View last evening, and nearly fifteen hundred members and their friends availed themselves of the cap- tain’s hospitality. Baltimore Lodge, No. 7, was also represented, and Percy Williams, past exalted ruler of Brooklyn Lodge, was also in attendance. The attractions at River View were much enjoyed by the ex- cursionists, and everything possible was done by Capt. Randall to make his guests have a thoroughly good time. A number of speeches were made, and it was nearly midnight when the party reached the cit¥. Those who had charge of the arrangements of the excursion were J. L. Burkart, A. A. Friedrich, A. J.

Next Tuesday the revival services close at the Gay Street Baptist Church, after a very successful season, Rev. Mr. Elsom has proved himself a powerful religious worker. His labors have been” crowned with flattering success. Last. night there were five professions. Three joined the chureh, and many stood for prayer. Mon- day there will be baptizing at the church. Mr. Elsom’s sermon last night was on the “Expense and Folly of Going Away from God,” iNustrating the case of Jonah. Tomorrow there will be two services—at 11_and at 8 o'clock. Wednesd1y a sociable will be held in Mr. Elsom’s honor. After that he» will leave for a rest at his home in Fincastle, Vas and then take up the work again in Bath county, Va. Morniug:Fires. Mr. H. C. Craig's heme, 3129 O street, caught fire this marning at 8:20. No one knows how it erigmated, and a consider- able headway was shade before it was dis- covered. The: flamem started in the dining room. They caughti the floor; chairs and table and then forked im various directions. The hallway was swept, and later the par- lor. In the meantime the whole house was black with smoke.;'Two engines, Nos. 1 and 5, came upon tme scere promptly. Only No. 5 went into serwice, though. The fire- men worked for nearly ‘an hour in getting the flames controlle@.. They scattered them- selves to every nook and-corner, and in consequence ‘checked .and subdued what started out to be a:very serious fire. Mr. Craig, the owner and. resident of the house, who is freight agent of the Missouri Pacific railroad, was away at the time. Mrs. Craig, in fighting the flames during their infancy, had her hair burned some. Loss between $800 and $1,000. * Denth of Jas. H. Fowler. Mr. James H. Fowler, a deacon of the Baptist Church here, one of the finest re- ligious workers in the West End and a man of exemplary character, died at his home, on P street, Thursday morning. Death resultea from a complication of dis- eases. He had been confined since Feb- ruary last. Mr. Fowler was for nearly fif- teen years the stable superintendent for the Metropolitan Railroad Company, and was considered a veterinary surgeon of the highest knowledge. His funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon, with services at the Gay Street Church. Garden Fete. The garden fete and dance, under the auspices of the Virginia Memorial Chapter of St. Mary's Guild, held last evening at 3017 O street, was the big success it de- served to be. The ladies worked indefatig- ably, and their efforts were crowned with success. The occasion brought money to the guild, credit to the promoters and pleas- ure to the attendance. The dance was an attraction. To those who superintended the charitable affair all honor is due. —————— A Horse Hard to Find.

Poisons are left in the blood, which manifest themselves in one way or another. If Hood's Sarsaparilla is taken these terrible ~ results may be avoided, because Hood's Sarsaparilla makes pure, rich blood and gives strength. “Ever since I had typhoid fever, which de- Yeloped into spinal and brain fever, I have suffered almost continually with rheuma- tism, so severely that I could not lie down or sit in a chair any length of time. I spent much money for medicines, but all failed. My druggist recommended Hood's Sarsapa- rilla, and I took it. One bottle of this grand medicine helped me. I had no appe- tite at first, and had fallen off in weight. I continued taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and now have used twelve bottles. I am free from all pain, having gained in flesh, and have good appetite.” JOHN J. DUEER, 111 Pearl st., Dayton, Ohio.

Emoluments which do not carry along with them some hard cash are not at a very high premium. A large number of colored men whose time is mainly de- voted to business enterprises are actively engaged‘in doing what they can to make a creditable exhibit. They are receiving let- ters from all sources, some of them en- couraging and some criticising the move- ment. Among the latest received by the commission, which is now in full working operation, is a communication from H. C. C. Astwood. Mr. Astwood was born south and believes in the south. He thinks the colored people are treated as well in At- lanta as they are in New York city. He says in his communication: “I think it (the exposition) the best opportunity the negro has had since reconstruction to expose the fallacies and the damaging aspersions that have keen circulated for pernicious mo- tives in regard to the condition and prog- ress of the race in the south.” ‘The local commission for the District of Columbia should be encouraged and fortified in their great undertaking to make this project a success, and those who are trying to throw obstacles in the way will be made to ap- pear as barnacles to race progress and Trace aggrandizement. I hope the commis- sion will be successful in every way, and that the colored people from all over the north and west will frown down the posi- tion of the pessimist, flock to the exposi- tion, and see for themselves the splendid condition of our people, the handsomest and. most intelligent men and women of the race, and one of the most beautiful sec- tions of our common country.” CUTICURA, THE GREAT SKIN CURE, INSTANTLY RELIEVES TORTURING SKIN DISEASES And the most distressing forms of itching, burning, bleeding and scaly skin, scalp and blood humors, ard will in a majority of cases permit rest and sleep and point to a speedy, permanent and eco- nomical cure when physicians, hospitals and all other methods fall.
