Mrs. Vernau was born in Churchessen, Germany, and emi- grated to this country in 1850. She had re- sided in this city since 1862, and was one of the oldest wcmen of German birth in Washington. Two children, four grand- children and a number of great-grandchil- dren survive her. Her funeral will be held tomorrow frem the Concordia Lutheran Church. > The New Discovery. The keenest interest is being manifested by business men and cap‘talists in the new gas, Acetylene, which shows every promise of ultimately displacing every other form of illuminant. One thousand feet of it can be supplicd for less than 15 cents, as com- pared with city gas at $1.25." In illumi- nating power acetylene Is fully fifteen times greater than the gas tn common use, and as it is nearly pure carbon vapor, it is more nearly like sunlight than anything else known to science. As it can be lique- fied under a comparatively light pressure it is possible for a supply sufficient to last a ten to thirteen-room house three to six months, to te compressed into a cyli der about half gs large as an ordinary soda water flack. No apparatus of any kind is needed to use it for household purposes, the cylinder being siraply attached to the gas pipes, the same as the meter is at present, and the flow regulated by a stop- cock. Three-quarters of a foot of it an hour will give a light of fifty candle power, as compared with nineteen candle power ven by city gas burning five feet an jour. At the Acetylene Company's office, 819 17th street northwest, the daily exhi- bition of this marvelous lightgiver is at- tracting wide attention. = A Good Thing to Know.

THE GREAT BAZAAR To Be Given by the Public School Teachers. SOME OF THE STRIKING FEATURES Convention Hall-to Be Turned Into a Bower of Beauty. THE LIST OF PATRONS Arrangements for the great Washington teachers’ bazaar, which is to be given at Convention Hall during the two weeks, December 2 to 16, are in a very forward state, and everything points to a most suc- cessful outcome of the undertaking. All the committees and subcommittees are hard at work, and intend to make it a bazaar and entertainment the like of which hag never been seen in this city. The bazaar is to be for the benefit of the Teachers’ Annuity and Aid Association, and the pro- ceeds are to be devoted to the permanent fund of the association. A number of unique features are to bq] introduced during the two weeks the fair will be in progress. The large hall is to be arranged in a unique way. It will be planned from the standpoint of a landscape gardener, the booths being constructed to represent pagodas, kiosks dnd other novel structures, and the effect of the whole is expected to be most picturesque and at- tractive. In the center of the hall will be erected a temple several stories in height, and each floor is to be used for a different display. Around this central structure it is planned to have four booths, the whole to be encircled by a chain of quaint build- ings, ond the remaining space, the four corners of the hall, will not be neglected. Each of the four High Schools and each school division will be represented by a separate building, those of the High Schools being decorated in the sckool colors. Each of the school divisions, each High School, the Normal School, the sewing and the cooking departments will devote itself to a specialty. For instance, the Central High School will display and sell drawn work, embroidery, table linen, picture frames, centerpieces, handkerchiefs, doilies, nap- kins, bureau scarfs and the like. Bicycles are to constitute the chief feature of the exhibit of the Business High School, and toys will be the main reliance of the first division, No attempt at confinement to the specialties are to be made, however, for the Central High School will as gladly re- ceive fifty pounds of beef as it will an em- broidered table scarf, and no fear need be entertained that the first division will repulse the donor of a ton of coal or a ham, although the feature of its booth is to be toys. Some of the Features. There are to be no gambling devices of any nature whatsoever connected with the bazaar, and school teachers will not be permitted to enter any of the voting con- tests. Outsiders, however, will be en- couraged to do so. Great judgment has been displayed by those in charge in deciding to place the most fascinatirg teachers and young lady pupils from each high school and each di- vision in charge of the respective booths. Mr. Allison Nailor has accepted the chairmanship of the committee on visiting organizations in place of Maj. Harries, who could not serve because of illness. Mr. Nailor will encGeavor to secure the attend- ance of the leading military and civic uni- formed organizations in thé city. Mr. W. B. Patterson, chairman committee on tickets and admissions, has the season tickets in readiness, A single season ticket, admitting one person each evening, is 50 cents, and a family ticket, good for twelve admissions, usable as may be desired, is $1. A solitaire diamond ring valued at $100 has been donated to be offered as a prize to the lady in the District of Columbia sell- ing the largest number ot season and fam- ily tickets. Object of the Bazaar. Dr. F. R. Lane, principal of the Wash- ington High School, and a member of the executive board in charge of the bazaar, in conversation with a Star reporter today stated that in his opinion the teachers are justified in asking the support of the citi- zens to insure the success of the enterprise. “Civic and military organizations’ are con- stantly holding fairs,” said Dr. Lane, “and they display no hesitancy in appealing to the general public for aid, so why should not we expect the same treatment? Once having secured the amount needed to place the association on a firm basis we shall cease begging,as the dues of members, it is expected, will be sufficient to meet all re- quirements in the future. “As I look at it,’ continued Dr. Lane, “the association will accomplish a great good. Of course, all who are members now will not by any means continue in the association for any length of time, and the benefits will only accrue to a few. There are hundreds of young girls just from the Normal School now teaching, as well as scores of young men. Many of the girls will marry and in that manner leave the ranks, while the young men Will take up professions and engage in other pursuits, and therefore ve independent of the association. But there are a few who will undoubtedly continue to teach for many years to come, and when they are unable to longer perform their duties it is then that the purpose of the organization will be demonstrated.” The List of Patrons. Dr. Lane, who is the chairman of the sub- committee on the patrons of the hazaar, has secured the permission of a large number of prominent men and women to use tneir nemes as patrons, and many of them have signified their intention of taking more than a nominal part in the work.

Lafayette Square Opera House.—It is in- teresting to watch the development of a young actor’s powers and to note the im- provement in his mathods and the increase in his forcefulness with each succeeding engagement. This applies to Mr. Creston Clarke, who commenced his second star- ring engagement in this city last night at the Lafayette Square Opera House. He was greeted by a large and intelligent au- dience and his Hamlet was followed closely by those who were familiar with Shake- speare’s greatest work and many.of whom had seen the title role interpreted by the young actor’s famous uncle, Edwin Booth. Mr. Clarke resembles his uncle in appear- ance and his conception of Hamlet is upon the same lines as Mr. Booth’s, although there is enough of change to show that he thinks for himself and has original ideas. He has improved since he was here two years ago, showing that he is a constant student. He looked the traditional Hamlet and his youth and grace gave a charm to his impersonation. He did excellent work in the scene with Ophelia, when he ex- hibited a tenderness that was touching and effective and more than made up for some carelessness by the forceful manner in which he rendered the closet scene with his mother. Mr. Clarke’s enunciation is a trifle indistinct at times, but as a gencrul rule his lires were delivered with eurnest and intelligent meaning. Miss Adelaide Prince has a charming appearance and looked very sweet in the mad scene, but she is the only one who opproaches Mr. Clarke's standard. J. _L, Carhart as Polonius, Mr. Owen as Laertes and Her- bert Pattee as Horatio were of about equal merit, neither being up to the mark. Of the rest of the company the least said the better. The scenery was exceptionally at- tractive and the music incidental to the tragedy was adapted from Ambrose Thom- as’ opera of “Hamlet.” Tonight M Clarke will present “The Fool’s Revenge. Allen’s Grand Opera House.—Melba, the famous soprano, whom many critics think has a voice fully equal to that of Patti in her palmiest days, will be heard at Allen's Grand Opera House tonight. This will be the first appearance of this prima donna in concert in this cicy, and great interest at- taches to the event. She has only been heard here once, and that was during the Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau opera season last spring, when she was handicapped by her surroundings and did not appear at her best. Now she comes free and untram- meled, under the management of Mr. C. A. Ellis, who has engaged good people for her support. Melba is announced to sing the brilliant aria from the first act of “Travi- ata,” Margueritte in the third and fifth acts from “Faust” and the mad scene from “Lucia di Lammermoor.” In the operatic acts she will be assisted by Mme. Scalchi as Siebel; Mlle. Bauermeister, Martha; Sig. D’Aubigne, Faust, and Sig. Campanari, Mephistopheles. All these will also be heard in concert numbers to advantage, and a gcod orchestra is promised under the leadership of Mr. Landon Roland. New National Theater._The man who writes a “purpose play” is necessarily more or less of a cynic. He is dissatisfied with the existing order of things and is moved to express his sentiments on the manners and customs of mankind, judiciously sugar- ccating the pill of his disapproval with epi- gram or melodrama as the conditions may suggest. If the sugar-coating is heavy erough to obscure the reformatory rhu- barb, as it is in the case of “The Masquer- aders,"*" the play will survive and be a valuable addition to the limited stock of stage presentations which, besides pleasing the populace, afford a certain amount of patulum for the thoughtful. The company which appeared at the New National The- ater last night is- one of extraordinary strength. William Faversham is one of the most successful matinee villains of the present dramatic period. He performs the role of the totally depraved husband with ability and at'a persona! physical risk which denotes no small devotion to his art. A few more seasons in the character of Sir Bryce Skene will surely leave him a doddering victim of the cigarette habit. He also “shoots his cuffs,” as the phrase has it, and, indeed, neglects none of the traits by which this most interesting and fascinating manner of man is recognizable. Miss Viola Allen plays the part of the beautiful, ill- treated wife in a way which invests it with all the attributes of grace and refinement which the author’s meaning calls for, and Mr. Henry Miller is an actor of such un- assuming capability that the auditor al- Inost forgets to award him the generous applause which is undoubtedly his due, so quiet is bis method and so assiduously have we been educated to wait for some clap- trap signal frcm author or player for a burst of enthusiasm on the part of the pub- lic. It is a great pleasure to watch the efforts of so sincere an actor, a pleasure which would be enhanced if he would curb a certain elocutiorary idiosynerasy which leads him to buzz the letter s as he pro- nounces it at the termination of a word. To enumerate all the good qualities of the cast would be an undertaking of some length and not much utility, as it is a well- known fact that Charles Frohman seldom, if ever, offers to a Washington audience eny but a well-balanced company. The problem of the play epitomized is this: Has a woman who is unloved and unloving in her married life the right to give her life to another man, even when her husband bas, so far as it is in his power to do so by werd and action, absolved her from duty to himself? After evolving this interesting social conundrum in an elaborate and highly interesting manner the author dis- creetiy refruirs from any effort to provide a solution. Academy of Music.—Miss Nellie McHenry and her company of comedians and singers entertained a large audience at the Acad- emy of Music last evening in ‘‘The Bicycle Girl.” The play has no piot, and it is evident that a plot is about the last thing intended by the author, but it is a vehicle for running before the audience two reign- ing fads, the bicycle and the new woman. Miss McHenry sang and danced herself in- to complete favor, and as ker company is a strong one the performance met with generous approval. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The enter- tainment at Kernan’s this week is of the highest order. But this is always so of Hyde's Comedians, the company filling the week’s engagement there. The pro- gram is long, and in connection with the old favorites there are many new faces. The performance opens with a comedy sketch by Harris and Walters, and then came Fannie Mora, a sister of Heleae, who sang several songs to the satisfaction of the audience. The Rays contributed a sketch full of fun. Polly Holmes has re- gained her voice, and the Irish songs she sang were executed with a pleasing brogue. The Dalys proved themselves masters of the art of terpsichore, and the dance of the demons was clever. Lester and McAvoy sang several parodies of popular songs, and kept the audience in good humor. The Midgleys gave an original juvenile act that was clever, and the Wilmot Duo con- tributed a remarkable feat of bicycle rid- ing. The newsboys’ quintet was an innova- tion and made the hit of the evening. A real clever afterpiece, a travesty of the Police Court, with George P. Murphy ard Miss Kitty Kursale in the title rolls, closed the show. Again tonight. Black America.—Another- crowded house greeted the opening night of the second week of Black America at Convention Hall last evening, and the same evidences of appreciation and pleasure that have char- acterized the engagement straight along in this city were made apparent by the PFSOSSSOSSSHSSESHOSIEOO SION It Will Pay To make some provision for your physl- cal health at this season, because a cold or cough, an attack of pneumonia or ty- phoid fever now may make you an invalid all winter.

A New Organization Formed by Boe makers. An organization, to be known as the Knights of St.Crispin,was formed last night at the residence of Mr. John Elbert, No. 54 H street northwest, by a large number of master shoemakers of the city. - Officers were chosen as follows: President, John Elbert; vice president, C. Ronz; finan- cial secretary, B. J. Iseman; recording sec- retary, Frank Kaufman, and treasurer, Otto Monglitz. ‘The object of the organization wil) be to promote a fraternal feeling among shoe- makers, and to establish a uniform price for work,as well as to fix a schedule for the pay of employes. A committee was ap- pointed to draft a constitution and set of by-laws, and another committee which was appointed was requested to get a suitable hall for meeting purposes. Delegates to the Federation of Labor will be elected at the next meeting. CRISPIN. Fair for the Orphans. A special meeting of the general commit- tee in charge of St. Vincent’s Orphans’ fair was held last evening at Carroll Hall, on G street between 9th and 10th streets, for the purpose of hearing reports from the various special committees appointed at the last meeting. These were all of the most encouraging and satisfactory nature. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Rob- ert McDonald, with Mr. Edward Voigat as secretary. The fair will be opened on the evening of December 2, and be continued until the evening of the th. The follow- ing committees were announced: Fair com- mittee—Chairman W. H. McDonald, Secre- tary Voight, Treasurer A. B. Coppes. The chairmen of the other important commit- tees are: Press, D. I. Murphy; music, Prof. M. Maina; decorations, W. H. Bowman; ua J. T.
