Foster, with Prof. Chas. J. Toof presid- ing at the organ. The favorite Endeavor- el song, “There is Sunshine in My Soul,” was followed by “Scatter Sunshine” and “Onward, Christian and others equally inspiring. eres Seated on the platform with President Miles M. Shand, who presided over the meeting, were Rev. Dr. S. H. Greene, pas- tor of Calvary Church; Miss Ella D. Mc- Laurin of the American Baptist, Missionary Urion of Boston; Mr. Sherwood Eddy, orte’ of the secretaries of the student Volunteer movement for foreign missions, ahd two of the officers of the United Soeiety of Chris- tian Endeavor, Secretary John Willis Baer and Treasurer William Shaw, .who, are in, Washington conferring with the committee of % about the convention whieh -Wash- ington will hold next July. When President Shand opened the meet- ing at 8 o’clock with devotional exercises, there was not a vacant seat in the great auditorium or galleries, and inany persons Were standing in the doors and alomg-the walls and in the aisles. Responsive read- ings, singing and prayer were ‘folidwed ‘by announcements and an effectiv Mrs. Carrie Kidwell Stew oldiers, orers to the church with-a. greeting all the mere hearty, he said, because he was young himself and in sympathy with youny people. He said he rejoiced in the won- derful orsanization ‘of Christian ~Hndeavor and had watched its marvelous growth In Washirgton with great interest, and it had given him pleasure to receive the aid the people had offered to’ him= Now it s raised the mission, song and had taken the missionary work. No lorigér a sin- denomination, but a h up gle church or urited band, it had taken up in earnest the work of redeeming the world. one Mr. Shaw's Talk. Mr. Wm. Shaw was introduced as’ one of the best-loved officers of the united society, and he made a brief but pointed talk. He said it was an unexpected pleasure to be in such a company as. that assembled last night. The meeting vas way beyond their expectations. “‘Next summer,” said -Mr. Shaw, “you are to have a convention In Washington. We had one in Boston last year, and Boston people were wonder- fully astonished. They expected a little gathering, but the tens of thousands that ‘ame turned the city upside down—yes, ‘it is turning it right-side up.” He. related in- cidents within his own personal knowledge that had happened In Boston, wherein. the convention had been the means of accom- plishing a great deal of good. He told of a drummer, who, arriving in the depot a day or two'before the convention, saw the decorations, and in surprise asked what it all meant. He was told {t was the Chris- tian Endeavor convention, Walkipg through the depot, he noticed a large banner bear- ing the inscription, “The whole, world. for Christ.” Instantly the conviction flashed upon him that though the whole world was for Christ, he was not, but he resolved that from that moment he would be. And, said Mr. Shaw, by means of a painted banner, a man who had turned a@ deaf ear-to religtous appeals was converted. It was Boston experience, he said; thet ‘the ‘feed sewn in holding an international Christian Endeav- or convention had reproduced a hundyed- fold, and he was sure the same would be true of Washington. as a Missionary. Mr, Shaw was followed by Mr. Sherwood Eady of Princeton Theological Seminary and last year one of the traveling secre- taries of the student volunteer movement for foreign missions. Mr. Eddy eXp: go as a missionary to India after the com- pletion of his course in the seminary next year, and is, of course, intensely intrested in foreign missions. He is a young man of pleasing address, and was listened fo Win a great deal of interest. In an effective manner he presented a panorama of mis- sionary scenes, beginning with the labor: of Christ in Galilee and passing rapidly through the persecution of the early church under the Roman empire, the superstitions of the dark ages, to the beginning of the modern missionary sprit fo-tered ‘in Europe by Carey and the inception of the student volunteer movement a few years ago in Northfield, Mass., during the progress of the meetings annually held there by Mr. D. L. Moody. He explained the obfects-of the movement as two-fold in character, the first to arouse among the students of the colleges and schools of the country an in- terest In foreign missions and obtain vol- untes for such work, and then have the young people at home send thenr out and Support them in distant lands. Another intending foreign mis Ella D.

Mr. Baer's Address. Mr. John Willis Baer, the general secre- tary of the United Socfety, was the last speaker of the evening. He is kriown by reputation at least to every Christian En- deavorer in Washington, and seme~rement-~ ber with pleasure the meeting here a few years ago, at which he was One-of-the prin- cipal speakers. As he took. bis plaga\beside. the reading desk in response to the intro- duction of President Shand, the vast audi- ence arose*and greeted him with the Chau- tauqua salute—the waving. of handkerchiefs. Mr. Baer made only a passing reference to the international convention “Washington' expects to entertain in July, being content to say that the work, so far as Washington is concerned, Is in most excellent hands, and he believed the arrangements’ woaldbé ¢om- plete. He was glad the Endeavorers of Washington could lose sight’of the conven- tion for the time and devote themselves to the consic ion of such an important sub- ject as the evangelization of the world. He urged larger contributions and a stricter ad- herence to the two-cent-a-week plan of. give. ing to missions. The meeting was brought to a close by the Mizpah, repeated by the entire congregation, and the benediction pronounced by Rev. Dr. Greene. Arranging for the Convéntion.

When the committee of "96 met, shortly after 4 o'clock, at headquarters,.a great many important mattéfs were discussed. many large churches should be continually ‘utilized. The privileges of large meetings would thus be offered. Mr. Baer made the ‘suggestion that at certain times during the convention. the tents be utilized for large evangelistic services, the attendance to he limited to those who were not Endavorers.. Se AMUSEMENTS. “Romeo and Juliet. ‘The performance of “Romeo and Juliet” at the Academy of Music last night by the Hanford, Spencer and O'Brien combination was an interesting one, chiefly from the fact that it gave the large audience present an opportunity to see Mr. Hanford in a part different from any he had ever presented here. He nai been known as an impersonator of heroic and tragic roles, but in the character of Mercutiu. last night he displayed all the requisites of high comedy. His reading was exquisite both from an intellectual and an elocution- ary standpoint, and his action was manly and graceful. Not since the days of E. L. Davenport has there been seen such en ar- tstic performance of Mercutio as was given by Mr. Hanford last night. Miss O’Brien has not yet reached the point when she can make the Juliet of the later acts intense and tragic without being declamatory and the- atric, but there were passages, notably, the scene with the nurse, where she was re- markably effective. Considering the brief experience she has had upon the stage, how- ever, her Juliet was a creditable effort, and | indicated more than anything eise she nas done here the real ability that she possesses, and which only needs to be developed by careful study and practice to place her in the front rank of American actre Mr. Spencer's Romeo was too melodramatic to be satisfactory. Mrs. Jane Germon played the nurse with that perfection ‘that was expected of so sterling an actress. The supporting company was efficient’ Tonight “Othello” will be given, with Mr. Hanford in the title role, Mr. Spencer as Iayo, and Miss O'Brien as Desdemona. Lafayette Square Opera House.—Denman ‘Thompson's favorite play, “The Old Home- stead,” opens at the Lafayette Square Opera House on Monday evening next for a week's visit. The play is one of the successes of the past decade, and its popularity another il- lustration of how the American people ap- preciate “home.” It is a pretty picture of farm life in New Hampshire's hills, its sur- roundings and characters are true to life, just dimmed with the sorrows of care for a few brief moments. Even in the saddest mo- ments the philosophy of “Uncle Josh” l:fts from him the veil of gloom, and tears are succeeded by hearty laughter like sunshine after the shower. Everything is true to na- ture. Grace Church, with its brilliant lights streaming from the cathedral windows ond the singing of “The Psalms” within, is in perfect tune with the burden of the theme and adds to the impression of the play. The different characters are in the hands of cap- able people, who have been associated with Mr. Thompson for many years, and have al- most become identified as the quaint types they represent. The musical portion of the entertainment will be rendered by the strongest double male quartet that has ever supported the play. Matinees are to be given on Wednesday and Saturday, as usual, and an extra matinee on Thanksgiving day. Allen's Grand Opera House.—“The Merry World,” which is the successor to “The Pass- ing Show,” and which is Canary & Lederer’s second ennual review, will occupy the boards of Allen's Grand Opera House the coming week. The performance ts said to be prob- ably the most pleasing thing of its kind ever presented upon any stage. It Is bright, live- ly and interesting, and is replete with a wealth of attractive features. The two prin- cipal plays travestied In this instance are “Madame Sans Gene” and “Trilby."" In each of these Amelia Summerville plays the title role, and her cleverness in these parts is said to be of the highest type. Mr. Dan Daly, who appears in the dual role of “De Neipperg” and “Taffy” in the same two bur- lesques, also gives a thoroughly consistent. and exceedingly humorous performance. Willard Simms, who gives a clever imper- sonation of Francis Wilson, is also one of the striking features of the cast. Jeannette Bageard as “Little Billee’’ and “Vasaline,” and Marie Laurens, who assumes the part of “Mephisto” and “Madeleine” and possesses a soprano voice of extensive range, ure ex- cellent. David Wartield endows the parts of “Fouche” and “Svengali with much vim, and possibly one of the funniest bits in the burlesque is the Napoleon and Gecko of Lee Harrison. The play ts said to be beautifully staged, the costumes and scenery being of the highest order. In fact, the entire produc- tion as it was given for a season of 133 per- formances at, the New York Casino will be transferred intact to the Grand next week, and, as the company consists of nearly iv people, it will be quite 2 feature as a spec- tacular-entertainment. Some clever sp ties are offered during tue performance by Mr. Das. Daly, Dave Warieid, Lonis tiranat Willard Simms, La Petite, Adelaide, the hi tle dancing sylph, and others. Thanksgiving day matinee will be gi New National Theater.—DeKoven Smith's opera “Rob Roy’’ and will be heard for the first time in this city Monday night at the New National Theater. It comes with its original New York cast, including Ju- Jiette Corden, Lizzie Macnichol, Wm. Pru- ette, Wm. McLaughlin, Jeseph Sheehan, Harry Parker and Richard Carroll, It will have a chorus of seventy-five people, and with an enlarged orchestra the opera will be one of the notable successes of tne sea- son, Academy of Music.—Miss May Irwin,with her latest success, “The Widow Jones,” will come to the Academy of Music next week. The play made a hit in New York, and it will be given here with the same company and stage effec Lyceum Theater.—Manager Kernan’s a tracticn for next week will be the famou Rentz Santley Burlesque and Novelty Com- pany, which appears in an entirely new make up this season. A satire on_ the popular play of ‘Trilby, entitled “ ‘Twill Be Club,” will serve to introduce the full strength of the company in their sever specialties, intermixed with witty dialogue. A new burlesque from the p2n of Chas. Levenberg, entitled, “Robin Hood, jr.,"" will conclude one of the cleverest and ‘up-to- date programs ever presenced on a vaude- stage. An entire new series of liv- ing pictures culled from the finest works of art will also be a feature. Mr, Abe Leavitt, the able manager of the organiza- tion, enly engages young and handsome, as well as artistle performers. Among ‘the names appearing on the roster are Collins and Collins, Carrie Scott, Leslie and Ten- ley, Lottie Elliott, Van Lear and Barton, Winnie Mitchell and Marion Blake. A nevel dance, executed by six pretty girls, entitled, “It's Something You Don't See Every Day,” will be one of the features. There will be matinees Tuesday, Thursday (Thanksgiving day) and Saturday. Miss Richards’ Lecture.—Miss Janet Eliza- beth Richards, the popular and well-known lecturer, wiil give on next Wednesday even- ing, at the National Law School building, 4) 13th street, the first iustrated lecture in Washington on the Atlanta exposition. Miss Richards has just returned from the fair, and in her thoroughly original style, £0 pleasing and instructive, will give her views of and experiences at the great cotton ex- position. With the aid of the stereopticon this lecture will be a very entertaining one, and as the price of admission has been placed at the low figure of 35 cents, a larze audience should be in attendance. ‘The pro- ceeds are to be used toward the purchase of Fa new organ in the New Church temple, cor- ner 16th and Corcoran streets, and is und2r the auspices of the Young People’s Associa- tion of that church. “Princess Bonnie."—Hilda Clark, tie “Princess Bonnie,” who appears at :he La- fayette Square Theater December 2, in Wil- lard Spenser's successful comic opera of that name, made her professional debut in comic opera in this role at the Broadway Theater, New York, and made one of the most mark. ed successes which any debutante has ever achieved. Her voice, which 1s pure, clear soprano, as well as her methods, were higii- ly praised. Her distinctness of enun-iation was particularly noted. Her modesty of de- meanor and naturalness are admirably suit- ed to the role of “Capt. Tarpaulin s” adopted daughter. Paderewski.—The celebrated Polish pianist Paderewski will give but one recital in this city, and that will be at Metzerott Music |' Hall December 11. Among the numbers on the program will be his new ‘Fantasia,” which has created a positive furore in New York. In fact, Paderewski, since he com- menced his tour in this country, has been even more successful than on his previous engagements. The craze to listen to his marvelous execution seems to be greater than ever, and it is believed that the same interest will be exhibited here that has been shown in New York, and that his audieace bse be limited only by the capacity of the all. Medley of Song.—There will be a concert at Odd Fellows’ Hall Thanksgiving night, which will be a Medley of Song, under the direction of Mr. Wm. J. Palmer. It will be for the benefit of the Methodist Home, an Mr. Bier was asked to give his idea as | object which is a worthy one. The program te the number and character of the meet- will be carefully selected. KNIGHTS OF LABOR Tho Gene? Amembly Adjonrns‘te’ Meet in Large Amount of Business Transacted During tlie Last Day of » the Sexsion. ~ The general assembly of the K. of L. ad- journed at: 8-¢’clock last evening, to: meet at Rochester In November, 1896. In addi- tion to the business mentioned in The Star yesterday, the assembly..received and ap- proved the report of the financial commit- tee. This report shows that the order has $35,000 om band.in excess of all Habiities. It was voted to change'the end of the fis- cal year from Juné 30 to September 30. The boycott on national bank notes.was discussed at length ahd#indorsed. Indorse- ment was also given: to a proposition that the government should “take control of all railways. An appropriation of $600 was made’ toeextend thesorder:in Indian terrt- tory. Action was also taken looking to effective work to inerease membership in Texas.. Delegates were:chosen to represent the K. of L. at the anmual conventions of the-Farmers’ Alliance nd the Industrial Union. World’s- Labor!Congres: -A proposition.was imtroduced for a great labor convention, embracing all national and International iabor organizations not connected-.with the &<nights of Labor, to meet July 4, 1896, at some place yet to be nameil.” This ‘scheme was “not acted ‘on. An invitation for the Knights of Labor to participate in the international labor con- gress to be held in London, England, in August, 1896, was accepted, and General Master Workman Sovereign was chosen.as a delegate and T. J. O'Reilly of Brooklyn alternate. ‘The delegate. will represent 200,000 Knights in this courtry, Canada, Mexico and ‘Australia, all of which: coun~ tries are under the organization of the Knights of Labor of the United States. A petition for the removal of the dis- abilities of Horner LL. McGaw of Pittsburg, ex-insurance secretary of the order, and Victor Drury of District Assembly No. 49, who were expelled during Powderly trou- bles, was received, and a favorable vote taken, -se that these ex-members can re- enter the order. A resohition favoring the exclusion of the Japanese from the United States was defeated on the ground that it would be against the principles of the order, which believes in universal organization. - Sympathy for Debs. 2 A letter was read from Eugene V. Debs, dated “American Railway Union headquar- ters, McHenry county jait, Woodstock, Hil.,”” and addressed to Mr. Sovereign. To this the assembly sent the following reply,addressed to Debs at battery D, Chicago, where..he was holding a reception last night in honor of his release from jail: ‘ “The general assembly, Knights of Labor, hails the celebration of your release from an fllegal imprisonment as the beginning of a grand uprising of the whole people against the Introduction of autocratic czar- ism Into republican institutions. Consider us with you to the end. A protest was presented from District As- sembly 66 of Washington against the em- ployment of the Marine Band or other mili- tats bamds in competition, with citizen: mu- sicians. Letter Carriers. ; A resolution was indorseq from District Assembly No. 49 of New York providing for an increase in the.classification and pay of letter carriers. It is proposed that tnere be four classes of carriers, the fourth class to-receive a salary of $1,200 a year, and be employed in all cities of the first slass. There are only three classes now, and the maximum salary ts $1,000. A resolution in support of legislation against the so-cailed spy system was also indorsed. ———aa ANACOSTIA STRIKE.. A meeting of the locked-out drivers of the Anacostia railway has been cailed for Mo: day night in Anacostia to consid-r the pri ent status of affairs,: which 1s regarded, so some of the most prominent..of the sympa- thizers with the men informed a Star re- porter lastnight; as very critical. “The meet+ ing will not be held in the usual place, but In a hall where it is hoped none will at- tend except those immediately’ interested. W. H. G. Simmons, master workman of District Assembly, N@. 68, K. of 1.., has been invited to be present forthe purpose of mak- ing an address. , Letters have been sent‘to-prominent lahor leaders in Washington by men who are in thorough . sympathy with’ the’ -locked-out , drivers informing them that in the judgment of the Anacostians it is tmperitively neces- sary for the members of the societies of or- ganized-tabor In the District to do afl in tnetr power to assist the locked-out nen, and fur- ther, for each of them to contribute on average of one dollar for the purpose of es- tablishing a coach line worthy of the name between Anacostia and Washington. Some of the writers also informed the labor lead- ers that if the Railway. Assembly is beaten in its present struggle with the Anacostia Railway Company it will, in their judgment, be the worst blow that organized labor has ever received in the District. A citizen of Anacostia who has interested himself in the collection of-aid for the lock- ed-out men and their families who are re- ported te be in need sald last night that from his recent experience he is convinced that but little further help can be secured in that direction. it is reported in Anacosila that one of the locked-out drivers has failen heir to 37,000 by the death of a relative, but will not come into possession of it for some tine.

He left here for the prison early yesterday morning in charge of Warden Leonard of the District jail and Guard Ransdell, and reached Albany about 8 o'clock last even- ing: The prisoner’s daughter, Miss Ida Howgate, bade him good-bye at the jail Thursday afternoon, and was not at the Gepot when he left for Albany. It is un- derstood that the prisoner will be put at light work in the penitentiary, probably clerical work, and it is also understood that before long an effort will be raade to secure Capt. Howgate’s pardon. —.—_—_. Case of James Rny. The motion for a new'trial in the case of James Ray, the Division saloon keeper who was convicted several weeks ago of receiv- ing stolen property, Was withdrawn yester- day afterneon, and: Judge .Cox suspended sentence during the man's good behavior. ‘This disposition of the case occasioned not a little surprise, the conviction of Ray having been secured only after a most de- termined effort on the part of District At- torney Birney. It was also generally be- Heved that. the district attorney .would in- sist that the penalty provided for the of- fense—imprisonment:in the penitentiary for not less than one nor more than three years—be enforced. “ Mrs. W.

So far as prices are concerned the local wholesale produce market shows today Ilt- tle, if really any, change from the market of a week ago. Usually, the market with- in less than a week of a great holiday like Thankegiving day is observable because of @ general advance in prices, but that fea- ture is not noticeable today. Of course, some slight advance may be expected be- tween now and Thanksgiving day, but it will not be a very material one, so no un- usual rise in prices need be feared. In- deed, if the present moderate weather con- tinues, prices are apt to be slightly lower than usual at this season, especially for poultry. Hence, the average retail price for the Thanksgiving turkey should not exceed 15 or 16 cents a pound. Butter re- mzeins precisely as last quoted, and is rather quiet. The same can be said of cheese, while near-by fresh eggs still sell for 22 cents, and are exceedingly scarce. During the coming week they are likely to advance. The large receipts of poultry have kept prices down, and the indications are that the market during the coming week will be an unusually well supplied cre. Game, too, is and will be abundant, and the same can be said of vegetables and seasonable fruits. Beef and kindred meats show little change, either in prices or supply. The market is not only a splen- didly supplied one, but its tone is firm ani encouraging. Butter is selling today at last week's prices, and the demand for it does not show much improvement. Colder weather, how- ever, together with lighter receipts, gives the market a little stronger tone, especiaily on top grades of fresh goods. Fancy cream- ery is going out readily, and a closer clear- ance is now observed than for some time past. However, no immediate advance in prices is looked for, as a very conservative feeling pervades the market. Not much interest is shown in June creamery or in New York state dairy, and imitation cream- ery is steady, with a fair call for choice marks. Fresh factory stock is slowly in- creasing. The following are the prices to- day: Fancy Elgin and other western extras, 24 cents a pound. Choice, 23; firsts, 22; sec- onds, 18. Choice bakers’ stock, 12% to 15; New York tubs, 18 to 21; dairy print, 16 to 18; western, 10 to 15; Maryland and Vir- pints) creamery, 16 to 20; dairy packed, 13 io 6. Cheese today is very quiet, with stationary prices, and with no positive evidences of a change one way or the other shortly. Hold- ers of fancy September full cream, large, show no anxiety to sell. As was the case last week, today New York state full cream, large, bring 11% cents a pound; flats, 12% to 13, and ponys, 14. Eggs, fine, fresh 6nes, at least, still re- main scarce and still command fancy prices. The colder weather has had little effect upon trade, nevertheless, it gives a steadier feeling among holders of fine goods. Limed goods are in fair demand and firm, and large sales of refrigerator stock are observable. Prices remain unchanged, as may be seen from the following: Nearby fresh, 22 Ss a dozen; storage stock, 19 to 20; western and southern fresh, 19 to 21, and keat cr guinea stock, 9 to 10. During the week the receipts of live poul- try have been quite large, and the receipts of both live and dressed stock will be unusually heavy between now and Thanksgiving day. Much complaint is occasioned because of the ursatisfactory condition of dressed poultry sent here, and the following suggestions should be adopted by shippers: The fowls should be kept from food twenty-four hours before killing, to allow the craw to become empty. Hang by the leg, and kill by putting the knife through the neck near the head, then scald and pick, but be careful not to break the skin. The breast should never be cut. Cut off the head and feet, draws the skin over the neck and tle, plunge into cold water and hang up to thoroughly cool and dry before packing. Pack carefully and close in clean boxes or barrels without either paper or straw, and mark plainly on each package what it contains. Today's prices are as follows: Drawn tar- keys from 10 to steck, dressed, 8 to 10; live, 5 to to 11, and geese, 6 to 8. The market continues to be abundantly supplied with game, and prices remain un- changed, Venison, saddle, per pound, 15 to 18; whole deer, bucks, 6 to 10; bear, saddle, 10; pheasants, 40 to 50; rabbits, per dozen, $1 to $2; quail, $1.75 to $3; wild turkeys, per pound, 10 to 12; woodcock, each, 25 to 40. Sweet potatoes are somewhat higher to- day, but other vegetables remain about as last quoted. And such is true with fruits, apples being unusually plentiful.
