Interesting Discussion of Topics of Present Interest in Church Ad- ministration. The November meeting of tne Church- man’s League of the District was held last evening in the parish rooms of Epiphany Church, and there was a large attendance of the members, more than a hundred in num- ber, including many of the most prominent men in the work of the Episcopal Church of this city. Nearly all of the Episcopal clergy- men were present. The meeting proved to be a most important one, and the action of the recent general convention held in Min- neapolis was the subject of the discussion, as was also the efforts which the league is making to secure better laws for Sunday ob- servance in the District of Columbia. Commissioner Truesdell presided over the meeting, and the executive committee re- ported that arrangements had been made for a series of lectures to be delivered before the league on the first Thursday in Lent and the five following Tuesda: ‘The sub- jects of the lectures are the relation of the church to the nation, papacy, Christian forces of the republic, Christian unity, the labor question and Christian evolution. Among those who have been invited to speak are several men of prominence, but as they have not all been heard from, their names were not made public. Spirit of Americanism. The work of the general convention of the Epicopal Church at Minneapolis was the subject of a comprehensive address by Rev. J. H. Elliot, rector of the Church of the As- cension. He said that the methods and re- sults of the convention were strong evidence of the way in which the church is clinging to the principles laid down at the formation of the church in America. For more than a century it has held off from the English church; and the truest spirit of Americanism was as evident in Minneapolis as it was at the first convention. It was always a con- servative body, he said, and this was par- ticularly true of the convention at its last session. Notwithstanding the fact that there were a number of Influences which might have led the church to strike out on new lines, the convention, however, had shown Its deliberate purpose of sticking to a conservative policy. At the convention, he said, he and Dr. McKim, the two delegates sent from the District, were asked by the committee on the next meeting if the con- vention should be invited to Washington, and, upon their extending an invitation, it was cordially accepted. Mr. Skipwith Wilmer of Baltimore, a lay delegate to the convention, spoke at some length of that body and its methods. He said that he had gone to the convention with some trepidation lest there might be a departure from the doctrine which was the foundation of the church, and it was with real pleasure, now that the convention was over, that he realized that there had been no attempt at innovations. The proposition to create twelve archbishops was looked upon as too English, and found little favor. This was true of the suggestion that the presiding bishop of the house of bishops should be made a primate. If the change was one of name only, then it ‘vas thought the old one was good enough, and if it was a change of duties, the general sentiment was that the present duties were quite suf- ficient to meet the demands of the church in this country. Sanday Laws. Rev. Dr. Elliot made a report of the ef- ferts made by the league committees since the May meeting to secure more stringent Sunday laws in the District. The commit- tee had made a thorough examination of the situation and found that the laws at present are quite inadequate. They found that there was a Sunday law in force trom 1864 to 1887 that was fairly satisfactory and was not easy to evade, until it was discovered, after the law had heen in force for more than twenty years, that the may- or had never signed it, and it was conse- quently invalid. In this law the word “‘Sun- day” was used, and in this, as well as in other important details, the committee had followed that law pretty closely in drawing up the one which it was intended to urge upon Congress. A general discussion followed the com- mittee’s report, and among those who spoke on various phases of tie question were Col. Cecil Clay, Rev. G. F. Williams and Rey. Dr. Charles’ i. Buck. Text of the Statute. The text of the law as drawn up by the committee of the league is as follows: “It shall not be lawful for any person to keep open any place of bus‘ness or maintain a stand for the sale of any article or arti- cles of profit during Sunday, excepting apothecarles for the dispensing of medi- cines and undertakers for the purpose of providing for the dead, or others for the purpose of charity or necessity; nor shall any public playing at foot ball or base ball. or any other kind of playing sports, pas- t'mes, or diversions disturbing the peace and quiet of the day be practiced by any person or persons within the District of Co- lumbia on Sunday, and for any violation of this act the person offending shall for each offense be liable to a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $50.” z The league adopted a resolution intro- duced by Mr. William P. Young authorize ing the executive committee of the league to call a meeting of the ministers of all the churches in the city who are interested in a better observance of Sunday. The minis- ters will be invited from all denominations and asked to bring at least two laymen with them. The time and place of the meeting will be set by the executive com- mittee. — Court of Appeals Decision. ‘The following cases were decided by the Court of Appeals yesterday afternoon: No. 511, United States agt.

Writers’ Club last evening at the rcoms, corner Pennsyl- vania ayenue and 10th street, officers for the next six months were elected as fol- lows: Mr. Isaac Gans, president (re-elected); Mr. Gus Nordlinger, vice president; Mr. George C. Kinnear, secretary, and Mr. A. Kaufman, treasurer. Plans were discussed for a series of evening entertainments to be given during the coming winter, and several new applications were read at the meeting and referred to the membership committee, es An Old Man's Pet. Bernard Seyfferth, a countryman who could scarcely speak because of the amount of liquor in which he had indulged, caused a scare at the third police station last even- ing. He was an applicant for a night's lodging, but none of the officers were anx- ious to search him, for the reason that he had a large mcccasin coiled about him. The snake was abcut five fect long. This ugly specimen from the country was the old man’s only companion for the night, and this morning the officers gladly released both the old man and his pet. See Withdrawal of Train.

Lafayette Square Opera House.—The an- nouncement of Seabrooke in comedy, after such a long and successful career in comic opera, drew a large audience to the new Lafayette Square Opera House last night. Mr. Seabrooke’s work pleased everybody. He is clean and clever in his comedy work, and does not resort to clownishness to make his points. Occasionally in the play last night there were touches reminiscent of the “Isle of Champagne” and “Tobasco,” and one almost expected to see Mr. Sea- brooke step down to the footlights and sing. But those were funny tqiches, and the recolection was_not unpleasant. Mr. Seabrooke had a difficult task in working without any extraordinary costume and make-up, but as he is a natural comedian he did his work easily. The play itself, “A World of Trouble,” is rather light, and too short to make a full evening’s entertain- ment. The authors, the Messrs. Paulton, who wrote “Erminie” and “Niobe,” have endeavored to cover the history of three hours with aboit two hours of stage ac- tion, and the result, while brisk as long as it lasts, is a bit disappointing. The play, accurately named a farcical comedy, deals with the “mix-up” resulting from mutual misunderstandings between loving couples. It develops quickly, but drags a little in the second and third acts. Mr. Seabrooke is fairly well supported, Miss Ffolliott Paget taking the leading feminine role with her usual excellence. As the suspicious wife who hires a detective to clear up the mys- tery surrounding her husband, and thus making it worse than ever, she does some good work. Others in the cast are Messrs. Edwin Nalod, Ray Fairchild, Wm. Herbert, Adolph Jackson, W. H. McCormack and Thomas Oberle, and Misses Mattie Earle— who is exceedingly funny as a tragic claim- ant—Daisy Lovering, Isabel Haslam dnd Jeannette Lourie. Allen’s Grand Opera House.—Miss Marie Wainwright is extermely popular in this city and the estimation in which she is held here was evidenced by the large and discriminating audience that assembled at Allen’s Grand Opera House last night to greet her in a new play, “His Puritan Wife.” The work {is by Mrs. Florence Schoeffel, and she has drawn a strong char- acter in the part of Elise Dunbar, in which Miss Wainwright is seen to good advan- tage. She is a neglected wife, who finds that her husband fs faithless and who falls a victim to the wiles of a man who has known her from childhood and who was a friend of her husband. Mr. Dunbar’s suspicion, when he discevers that his wife has been following in his footsteps and has taken his own advice and consoled herself with another love, falls upon Arthur Len- nox, a modern knight errant (Mr. Geoffrey Stein), who is the one real good character in the piece and there is a challenge, which is not accepted because the young man is too good a friend of the jealous husband, and finally all the guilty ones become con- science stricken. The wife and husband make mutual confession—the curtain falls upon the reconciliation of the Dunbars. Miss Wainwright has an opportunity for some forceful acting, whjch she improves, and Mr. Stein, a Washington man, by the way, does some graceful and natural act- ing. Miss Russell has some good scenes and Mr. Hartwig realizes the character of the gentlemanly villain. There were some hitches last might due to the newness of the people in their parts, for it was only the third performance of the play. New National Theater.—Mr. Digby Bell is one of those upon whom the public relies for its entertainment. He is not an experiment- al quantity In the theatrie world. In what- ever he does there is sure to be a liberal sprinkling of humorcus demonstrations, physical and more or less intellectual, which are pecullar to himself, and which play pa- trons have over and over again indorsed with the dollars and the applause which combine to produce succes. “Nancy Lee” is the title of the nautical opera in which his managers present tim this season. It Is not ponderous in its ambitions, but it gives the comedian rocm and permits the display of some pretty voices and attractive comic opera millinery. Josephine Knapp is a songstress of good style and vocal quality, and Clara Jewell, Delia Stacey, Laura Joyce- Bell, David Lythgoe, Gus P. Thomas and others make up a cast in which there is much to commend both lyrically and in the comedy. “Nancy Lee” will not attain to the celebrity of an American “Pinafore,” but it is likely to be a popular vehicle for Digby- Bellisms and lightly-turned melddies. Academy of Music.—A large audience wel- comed Kate Claxton in the familiar play of “The Two Orphans” at the Academy of Music last evening, and as Miss Claxton’s company is a good one, the presentation was one which was thoroughly enjoyed. , Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—There were not seats enough at Kernan’s last night to accommcdate the crowd that welcomed Gus Hill's Novelties, and it filled the aisles to overflowing. The performance was a clean variety entertainment. Those gro- tesque dancers, Fields and Salini, opened tae program. Gus Hill, with his’ popular club swinging act, followed, and the son- brette, Bonnle Lottie, took but a moment to install herself a favorite. The musical Gardners, with Little Dick, the diminutive drum major, were entircly satisfactory, and Gray and Conway, as the Dutch Du- gans, were funny. Fred. H. Leslie intro- duced his wonderful dog circus, and as a climax sent his favorite greyhound over a hurdle fifteen feet high. McCale and Dan- fels did a startling knockabout act, and Lew Hawkins contributed a monologue that pleased. The feature of the evening was the wonderful exhibition of Mlle. Eugente Petrescu, who performed the most astonishitg feats of hand-balancing ever seen here. A roaring afterpiece. “The 20th Century Barber,” closed one of the best shows of the season. ee A THRONG AT DROOPS’. An Attractive Program Presented at the Public Opening. The formal opening of the new establish- ment of E. F. Droop & Sons, 925 Pennsyl- vania avenue northwest, which was con- tinued yesterday afternoon and last even- ing, was an event of considerable magni- tude. Shortly after 8 o’clock the sidewall in front of the new store was completely blecked with a crowd that found it im- possible to gain admittance. The mammoth orchestrion was one of the chief attractions during the afternoon, but in the evening a program of unusual interest was presented by Miss Anita Cluss, Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-Cliff, Mr. Herman Rakemann, Mr. Ernest Lent, Mr. John Por- ter Lawrence, Mr. S. Monroe Fabian and Mr. Anton Gloetzner. A most favorable impression was created by Miss Grace Hamilton Jones, a young lady who render- ed several difficult selections In a masterly manner, The concert occupied about two hours, and was greatly enjoyed. During the day messages of congratula- tlon were, among others, received from Sir Julian Pauncefote, the Earl of Westmeath, Mr. E, J. Plaza of the Mexican legation and Rafael Joseffy, the pianist of the Bos- ten Symphony Orchestra. Among the dis- tinguished persons present last evening was the German ambassador. — REVIVAL IN THE NORTHEAST. A Series of Meetings at the Fifth Congregational Church, Rev. Chas. H. Coon of Philadelphia, for- merly assistant to Rev. B. Fay Mills, the well-known evangelist, has begun a series of revival meetings in the Fifth Congrega- tional Chureh. Mr. Coon is a forceful speaker, his utterances are often tinciured with humor and his wide experlences ren- der his sermons peculiarly suggestive and practical. At his opening meeting last night he made a most pleasant impression. He 1s assisted by a cornetist, a chorus choir and by soloists. The meetings are held every night at the Fifth Congregational Church, 8th and I streets northeast. Rev. Adam Reach, pastor of the church, assists Mr. Coon in the services. —_——.—__ Marriage Licenses.

Reports of Distress Among Families of the Unempleyed Drivers—Pro- posed Meeting of Citizens. Reports of distrese among the families of some of the locked-out drivers of the Ana- costia Railway Company were in circula- tion last night in Anacostia. One of those who was among the unfortu- nates, and who still belongs to the union, called to see Superintendent Newton, and asked to be given work, at the same time expressing his willingness to leave the union if he could thereby again get em- ployment. Mr. Newton replied, as he regretted, it would be impossible for him to grant the request, as the management of the road have decided that all who did not make application last week to get back have held out too long, and that the rest of the locked-out men will not be re-employed by the company under any circumstances. The New Drivers. At the present time some of the new drivers on the line are making $2 per day, but this arises from the fact that many cf them are permitted to work overtime. Usu- ally there are thirteen or fourteen drivers on the extra roll, an arrangement which enables all the drivers who have made eight trips during the day to get off for the rest of the evening, but just now this roll is not full. This is not because there have not been sufficient applications to supply all demands, but because the man- agement have rejected many more than they have engaged. The wagons of the Street Railway Pro- tective Assembly were being operated to- day with about the same amount of travel as yesterday. A Mass Meeting. A mass meeting of the citizens of Ana- costia has been called for Friday evening next at Masonic Hall, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the locked-out drivers, and it 1s said addresses will be made on that occasion by President George A. Tracey and Vice President M. A. Far- rell of Columbia Typographical Union, President Hyde of the Bookbinders’ Asso- ciation, A. D. Best of the Journal of the Knights of Labor, Messrs. August Donath, Paul T. Bowen and others. rt AN ORDINATION COUNCIL. Arrangements for Installing Pastor- Elect Stevenson. A council composed of the churches of Columbia Association of Baptist Churches met at the call of the East Washington Heights Baptist Church to consider the propriety of ordaining their pastor-elect, George E. T. Steverson, to the Gospel min- istry. ‘The council met in the Bible School house of Calvary Baptist Church yesterday after- noon, Rev. J. J. Muir, D. D., chairman. The council listened to the Christian ex- perience, call to the:ministry and views of Christian doctrine of the candidate, which being satisfactory, the council recommended the church to proceed with the ordination of their pastor, to take place in the church next Sunday afternoon. The program will be as follows, Rev.J. J. Muir, D.D., presiding: Reading the Scripture, Rev. A.B. Ander- son; prayer, Rev.N.C.Naylor; hymn; sermon, President B. L. Whitman, D.

Meetings Held Last Night by Various Organisatio: The master shcemakers, who a week ago organized the Knights of Crispin, met last night at No. 52 H street northwest and dis- cussed the proposed constitution and by- laws. President Blbert presided. It was stated that thirty-two new members havo been received since the previous meeting, making an aggregate at this time of sev- enty-five. As it is expected there will be still more applications to join during the ensuing week, it was decided to postpone further consideration of the report of the committee until next Monday night. Pres- ident Elbert announced that the future meetings of the organization will be held in the hall of the Bricklayers’ Union, corner of 7th and L streets northwest. The regular weekly meeting of the Ba- kers’ Drivers was held last night at Bunch’s Hall, 8th street near Pennsylvania avenue northwest. The assembly voted to give a liberal contribution toward the en- tertainment of the delegates to the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, which meets in Washington next week. The “fair” card of the Laundry Workers was indorsed, as was also the action of the Anacostia railway drivers who have been locked out by President Griswold, and it was decided to place a fine of $2 on every member who shall be detected in riding on @ car of tbat line. Resolutions of sympathy with the fami- Hes of H. F. Huth and Michael Ryan, de- ceased members, were adopted. —.— A Justice Mandamused. A petition for mandamus was today filed by the Baltimore Mutual Aid Society against Samuel C. Mills, a justice of the peace in and for the District of Columbia. It is set forth that October 22 last John Larkins recovered judgment against the society before Judge Mills, from which an appeal was noted. According to information furnished the society’s attorneys, it is claimed, the title of the plaintiff in the ac- tion referred to was given as Charity Lar- kins. When the society offered a surety for the appeal the attorney for Larkins ob- jected to his examination on the ground that the suit in which it was offered was brought by Charity Larkins instead of John Larkins, and the objection was sustained by Judge Mills. Therefore, it is asked that the latter be required to consider and pass upon the sufficiency of the bond offered.
