The meeting last night of the Federation of Labor was well attended, forty-four or- genizations being represented. President McHugh was in the chair. As forshadowed in The Star of last even- ing, the management of the labor bureau occupied a considerable share of attention. President Sprague of the board of manage- ment of the bureau told the gelegates what had occurred, as stated in The Star, and annotnced that the bureau would be entire- ly reorganized. Mr. Sprague further stated that although the receipts from the thirty- six organizations which are pledged to con- tribute to its support will be about $108 per month, that sum will not be sufficient to defray the running expenses, and the de- ficit will have to be provided for from sources outside of the labor societies. Mr. Sprague called attention to the alleged fact that Mr. Allen, proprietor of Allen's Opera House, who had made an arrange- ment with M. D. Shenk, late manager of the bureau, to contribute twenty per cent of the receipts for tickets sold by members of societies of organized labor during the present weeic for the support of the bureau, has refused to honor the tickets sold by Shenk and others associated with him, on the ground that while he had furnished Shenk with 500 tickets he had not received any compensation or security therefor. The delegates from Bakers’ Assembly re- ported that members of their organization had purehased $10 worth of tickets for the Opera House from C. Shenk, and that upon presenting them at the officé in Allen's Opera House they were dishonored. Mr. W. L. Bailey of Painters’ Assembly was appointed manager pro tem. of the bureau, vice Sherk, and took charge today. The Yost Brothers’ Suit. The action of Yost Bros., in going into court, as also stated in yesterday’s Star, to compel Mr Albert Carry to fulfill the terms of bis contract with them for the construction of a large barn in Prince George's county, Md., was also much dis- It was stated that Yost Bros. had employed merabers of Local Union No. 190 of Carpenters to work on the job, but that this was not satisfactory to the contract committee of the Federation, who demand- ed their discharge, which was granted by Mr. Carry. It was also stated that Local Union No. 19 is a legitimate union organization, be- ing allied with*the National Union. The organization here is, howev not connect- ed with the local federation, their applica- tion for admission to that body having been refused. The contract requirements in the Yost case demanded by the federation were that only the membership of those organiza- tions recognized by the federation and D. A. 66, K. of L., should be given employ- ment. Proposed New Laws. Tne legislative committee submitted a bill providing for the preferment of em- ployes in cases of assignment; also a bill relating to the Mability of employers in the District of Columbia to make compen- sation for personal Injuries suffered by employes in their'service. Both bills were unanimously Indorsed, anq@ the committee was directed to place the bills with the proper committees in Congress and secure, if possible, the favorable action of that body The committee appointed to confer with the building committee of the American University and secure, If possible, the con- struction of the Hall of Hstory by day's and union labor exclusively, read the py of a statement which has been pre- red for submission to the building com- mittee, relating the advantages of con- struction by the elght-hour day and by abor. The paper was indorsed by tion. Work on the Post Otlice. The delegates from the Plasterers’ As sembly asked that the legislative commit- tee request of Congress such legislation as shall provide for the completion of the new city post office by day’s work under government supervision. The painters reported that it is‘ under- stood that the chief of the bureau of en- graving and printing {s about to have a rge amount of painting done there, anc the contract committee was directed to co- operate with a committee from D. A. 68, k. of L, and ask the proper authorities that the work be given to union men, and that they shail he paid the maximum rate ural Iron Workers reported “ent action of that body in in- sing the initiation fee after January 1, has resulted In largely increasing the ap- plications for membership. ~ Several assemblies reported having made donations to ald the locked-out drivers of the Anacostia Railway Company. A motion was made to dispense with tho usual mesting Tuesday night next, that pe- ing Ch 28 eve, but was lost, as it was stma feared that an adjournment for two weeks would result in an unnecessary accumula- tion of unfinished business. ——— MENTS. AMUS! Boston Symphony Orchestra.—The popu- larity of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Washington was fully attested last night by the large audience that assembled at Metzerott's Music Hall to listen to the sec- ond concert this. season by that admirable organization, The program was an enjoy- able one, and each number enthusias- tically received. The Brahms symphony in E minor, with which the concert opencd, is not so well known here, and is of the truly classical school, yet it has many beautiful melodies, which are developed great skill and effect. Every move- ment was appreciated and heartily ap- uded.

The con- cert was given for the benefit of the uni- versity foot ball association, and a com- foriable sum was realized." From begin- ning to end the numbers on the program were glyen with a precision and tone that elicited continvous applause, which was a substantial indorsement of the ability of the musicians. The officers of the club are as follows: sident, A. V. Gana; vice president, A, Y. Bradley; secretary, W. W. Grier; treasurer, E. L, White. The mando- lin club is composed of E. L. White, leader; mandolins, E. L. Whité, H. BE. Hinman, W. D. Holden, L. L. Sullivan and B. C. Camp- bell; guitars, GL. Johnson, W. W. Grier, C. M. Baker, W. B.

Campbell. “Trilby.”"—Paul Potter's dramatization of Du Maurier’s “Trilby” seems to have taken the city by storm, judging from the crowds that have flocked to the Lafayette Square this week—nor is this to be wondered at, for a more perfect enseinble has rarely been witnessed upon the local stage. The pictures so admirably described by Du Maurier in his novel are reproduced upon the stage with life-like fidelity. The studio is a fine specimen of scenic art, and the foyer of the Paris Opera House Is a strik- ing specimen of scenic setting. The com- pany have received flattering plaudits for their work, which they have fully merited for the charming manner they have ren- dered the respective characters so wonder- fully described by Du Maurier in his novel. The demand for seats is very great, and those who have not yet seen the play should recognize the necessity of purchas- ing their tickets at once, as next week will be the only opportunity’ of witnessing this remarkable play and company. Professional matinee.—There will be a professional matinee at Allen’s Grand Opera House tomorrow afternoon, with Mr. Oldhoss Bill Hoey in his “Globe Trotter" as the attraction on the stage. The “Thrilby” people, numbering sixty-five, now in town for next week, will be in the audience, as [ will be the “Trilby” people from the La- fayette Square, the Bancroft people from the National, the “Faust” people from the Academy, tfe Charley’s Aunt people, here for next week, and all the other theatrical people who are not otherwise engaged. It will be an interesting performance, both before and behind the footlights, and also on the side. “Thrilby.”"—Commencing on Monday even- ing, December 23, Manager Allen of the Grand Opera House will present the Garrick Burlesque Company, which will appear for ¢n2 week in Herbert and Puerner’s operatic ‘Lurlesque, “Thrilby."” This travesty proved highly successful in New York, where it ran early one hundred nights at the Garrick ter. The burlesque Is in two acts. The e Is by Charles Puerrer, who has com: bretto is the work of Joseph Herbert, who kas furnished a text which is continually blithe and sprightly, aiming at frolic more than satire, and has aburdantly diversified the colloquy with farcical stage busines: In the burlesque, as in Paul Potter's drame ation and Du Maurier’s novel, the prine pal figure as to action is the hypnotist. He Ned Spaghetti, and 1s amusingly ridicu- ious. Instead of the tall, reed-like youn hoyden of the Latin quarter, as Du Maurier describes Trilby, the burlesque Thrilby is a person of ponderous proportions. The treat- ment given to the whole subject has but one object In view, and that is to create laugh- ter. The first act opens in the studio of the three privateers in the Italian quarter in New York. The first scene of the second act takes place in the lobby of the Theatre de Gadsook; the second is laid in the interior of the theater, where specialties are pro- duced by Willis P. Sweatnam, the “ex-king of minstr¢lsy”” Mark Murphy, the Irish wit; Louis Wesley, and a ballet of the Defender Vigilant yachting scene. The cast includes Flvia Crox Seabrooke, Carrie Perkins, Mar. aret MacDonald, Jennie Reynolds, Gra: tt, Louis Wesley, Clarence Coldren, V T. Travcrs, assisted by a large chorus. mu: posed many airy choruses and solos. Sam Devere’s Own Company.—Manager Kernan’s merry Christmas attraction will be Sam Devere’s Own Company, an organiza- tion composed entirely of American and Eu- ropean vaudeville stars. The inimitable Sam fimself is the bright particular feature of the program: he has a new budget of wittl- i J songs, of which he is the author, -h he claims an excellent remedy for ject to the blues. Other names ap- ring on the roster is Omene, ty and dancer; Ward and Curran, the eccentric comedians; Flynn and Walker, the up-to-date sketch artists; Lillie We the expert musical artist In a bit of Trish wit; knock-abouts; Richards, and half star; Price and . acrobatic comedians, and the great rt. During the above engagement there will be five matinees, Tues Wednesd: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. ‘The Messiah."—The rendition of “The ssiah” by the Choral Society last even- 2t Convention Hall was, if comparison may be allowed, supertor to any previous interpretation of the same work by this competent and popular hody of singers. If > was any doubt of the interest which blic takes in music of this c eter, s well as Its appreciation of conscientious and capable rendition ef a great work, it would have been dissipated by the large audience that assembled in Convention Hall. The Washington public, thanks to the Choral Society, is pretty well familiar with this masterpiece of Handel. The theme, as well as the music, is of a religious character, and mer pplause at time: eems to be an inappropriate reception to be given to the sacred strains. However, such was the ex- cellent work of the chorus, supplemented by the Washington Symphony Orchestra, as well as the really artistic and sympatheti singing of the soloists, that the approval was manifested by hearty outh s of ap- plause. Dr, U. C, Sherman, the conductor, made {t evident that the chorus has lost none of the vigor and precision which has characterized its work, and last evening, in addition to the other’ merits the volume elicited, especially in the “Hailelujah” chorus, when the entire audience rose to their feet, was perhaps one of the crown- ing features of the performance. Miss Char- lotte Walker, who was called on to take the place of Miss onda, the latter being de- tained by sickness, was well received, her clear soprano voice rendering with precision and expression the rather florid arias with which the work abounds. The tenor soloist was Mr. E. C. Towne, who made a favorable impression from the very beginning in his rendition of the recitative “Comfort Ye My People.’ tations that were then formed were not disappointed by his subse- uent work. There was naturally a good deal of interest in the appearance of Miss Ruth Thompson, as she is well known In usical circles here, where she began her career. Her voice has improved, and its sympathetic qualities were delightfully brought out, especially in the aria “He Shail Feed His Flock.” ‘The bass solos were sung by Dr. Carl EB. Dufft, and if such a thing as an encore was allowable in an oratorio Dr, Dufft would certainly have been accorded one on his rendition of the aria “Why Do the Nations so Furiously Rage?” Mr. John Porter Lawrence and Mrs. J. 8. Thomas presided at the piano. Good Acting by Students—A large and feshionable audience assembled at the Na- onal ‘Theater yesterday afternoon to wit- ness the efforts of the students of Perey Winter's school of acting. Everything pa: ed off without a hitch, the scholars show ing considerable ability and being letter per- fect with their parts. Two plays were pre- sented, under the patronage of many. well- known gocicty people, the benefits going to that worthy charity, the Children’s Hospital. A er comedy sketch in one act, “My Wife's Dentist,” was the first p pre- sented, in which Clyde Gideon was seen in the leading role to good effect, and the re- mainder of the cast assumed their parts with an earnestness that was enjoyable. W. s Gilbert's three-act romantic drama, “Broken Hearts,” was then given, with Louis Crennan, Mr. Cornell, Ellen’ Boyer and Jrene Rowland in the principal par Every part was so well played that Mr. Win. ter can rest content with the fruits of his labors so emphatically displayed, and a repetition performance at an early day is looked forward to with eagerness. es < THE COURTS, Ctreuit Court No. 1—Judge Bri Geo.

[CHRISTIAN WORKERS Organizations of Young People Connected With Protestant Churches. Union Meeting to Be Held Friday Evening for the Purpose of Liste ing to an Address, On Friday evening efi this week four of the largest societies oftyoung people con- rected with Protestant:churches will join forces in @ mass meeting to be held in Foundry Methodist Episcopal Church. The societies of Christian Endeavor, the Epworth Leagues, the chapters of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and of the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip will be represented in full force at this meeting, which has for its special feature an ad- dress by Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin, D.D., upon the topic, ‘Early Environment as Affecting Success in Life.” Rey. John H. Elliott, D.D., rector of the Church of the Ascension, will preside, Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, pastor of the West- ern Presbyterian Church, will conduct the devotional exercises and Rev. Oliver A. Brown, pastor of the Foundry Church, will welcome the organizations to the church. The first societies of Christian Endeavor in this city were organized in the year 1886. In the fall of 1889 a union of the twenty-three societies then in existence was perfected, and a remarkable period of growth fcllowed, until now there are In the District one hundred and twenty societies, of .which seventy are young people's socie- ties and fifty are junior societies. The tctal membership is about 5,000, distrib- uted as indicated throughout seventy churches, representing the Presbyterian, Congregational, Baptist, Methodist Epis- copal, Methodist Protestant, Lutheran and Christian denominations. ‘The Christian Endeavor Society has for its motto “For Christ and the Church,” and this expresses, in a word, its purposes and methods. Its members are pledged to the performance of certain specific duties, as well as to just so far as they know how, throughout their whole lives, lead Chris- tian lives. The organization of the society includes many committees formed for the prosecu- tion of aggressive work along various lines, and this and the development of character in the individuat Endeavorer- by means of the prayer meeting and other methods of spiritual work form the features of the society's work. The District Union has for its object the mutual advantage of the societies which are members of it. Mass meetings are held by means of which the addresses of promi- nent speakers are given a broader influ- ence. The present oflicers of the District Union are as follows: President, Mr. Miles M. Shand; first vice president, Mr. G. Wise: second vice president, Dr. C. V Chil third vice president, Miss Mary Folks; recording secretary, Mr. Hermon C. Meteaif; corresponding ‘secretary, Miss Lucy Jurney. The Epworth League. The inception of. the Epworth League was an amalgamation of several young people's societies of the Methodist Episco- pal Church. Chief among them was the Oxford League, whose organization dates back a couple of decades. The great growth of the organization, however, has occurred since the establishment of uniformity in Epworth League as the official young peo- ple’ ty of that chureh. Under her fostering care it has grawn to gigantic pro- portions in the six years of its existence. There are now 18,00) senior and 14,000 Junior chapters. with an aggregate mcm- bership of 1,500,000. ‘The District League of this city was or- nized January 2, ISe. Its membership has increased at the rate of 500 a year. ‘There are thirty senior chapters, including three affiliated societies, with 2,800 mem- bers, or average of 13 members to each chap with 4,072. While the Epworth League is a denomt- national society, its work is not contined alone to the church. One of its mottoes is, » besides nineteen junior: chapters, members, making a. total of i; “We live to make cur,own church’a power while we live to love: every ach in the land, other church that exalts our Christ.” chapter has. 2 pres{dent,’ four vice p dents, a secretary anda treasurer. partments of “spiritual work,” “mercy and help,” ‘literary work,” “social work, “correspond¢ and “finance” are con- iucted by the organization, he pi t officers of the District league Mr. Wm.

The new officers elected at the highly Successful annual convention, held last month, will be installed at the January mass meeting, to be held on the &th at Hamline Church, corner 9th and P streets northwest. ‘The joint committee of Ham- line Chapter and the District are preparing an elaborate program for the occasion. The officers-elect are: President, Mr. Mathews; vice presidents, Rev. T. J. Clark, Mrs. M. Mitchell, Mrs. H. B. Moulton, Prof. W. J. Palme recording secretat Mr F. T. Israel; corresponding secretary, Mr. George . Gibson; treasurer, Mr. E. H. G. Austin, and superintendent of junior work, Miss Estelle Crump. Brotherhood Organization: The Star of yesterday gave a sketch of the work of the Brotherhood of St. An- drew. This ts an organization of young men in the Episcopal Church, and has de- veloped a high standard of efficiency in the local churches of that denomination. Four chapters of the Brotherhood of An- drew and Philip have been organized in this city. This organization is very similar in its purposes to the Brotherhood of St. An- drew, but is. interdcrominational, like the Christian Endeavor movement. Its purpose Is to promote Christlan char- acter and confession among men, The four chapters in this city and a like number in taltimore are joined together in a local union. ‘The meeting of Friday evening ts entirely unique, for it is, as far as is known, the only meeting ever held in which these or- ganization. have thus come together. Dr. Hamlin’s address was delivered last before the Presbyterian Ministers’ Associa- tion, and was so highly appreciated that members of .this organization suggested that Dr, Hamlin be requested to repeat it for the benefit of the young people of the city. ——. of Loyal Women Entertain- ment. Pre-revolutionary times were represented by the pagticipants In a novel and enjoy- able entertainment held last night at Na- tional Rifles’ Hall, under the auspices of the Legion of Loyal Women. Costumed young men and maidens personated such characters as Gen, Braddock, Col. Wash- ington, Mistress Washington, Mollie Pitch- er, Benedict Arnold ‘and Israel Putnam. There was a chorus of about forty Conti- nentals and patriots of both sexes, who Indulged in 2 “Grande Synging Partie,” and the anachronism of these eighteenth century characters singing nineteenth cen. tury popular airs, such as “Sally in O: Alley” and “Ben Bolt,” made the affair amusing and entertaining. For the con- cluding number “America” was sung by the chorus, in which the ‘audience heartily joined. Edwin D, Tracey led the singers, and solos were sung by Mrs. Houghton and Miss Whiting, and Mrs. Estelle Davis gave some pleasing recitations. Some of the stately dances of our forefathers were participated in by those in costume, which, however, soon became merged in’ fin-de- siecle waltzes, in which every one who car- ed {ndulged. Refreshments of the kind suppesed to have been “the thing” over @ hundred years ago were served. —_.__ Maryland Republicans Elect Offcers.

The litigation over the proposed street extensions came up again today before Judge Cox, when the Ingleside sub-condem- nation was taken up. The parties interested are Charles H. Bauman, James H. Hensley, Charles G. Shoemaker, Edmund W. Wood- ruff and John H. Jolly. They are repre- sented by Attorneys Chapin Brown, Arthur H. O'Connor and Nathaniel Wilson. After th jury, consisting of John E. Her- rell, Louis D Wine. John S. Swormstedt, Joseph A. Settle, William B. Holtzclaw, J. McLean Carusi and Philip M. Snowden, the same that served in the preceding case, was sworn, Mr. Thomas announced that he was glad to say that provision had been made for transporting the jury and also the witness for the United States to the property. “How about our witnesses?” asked Mr. Wilson. “They can walk,” replied Mr. Thomas. “How are you doing this—have you found any money?” Mr. Brown then inquired of the attorney for the District. “No. We are using our own horses and have borrowed vehicles.” It was suggested that the hearing then 0 over until torgorrow, but Mr. Wine stated that the jury had consented to serve in the pending case, with the understanding that the property would be viewed today, and the case then go over until the jury had disposed of the Denison and Leighton sub-condemnation. Judge Cox stated that in that event it would be necessary to adjourn until after Christmas. Counsel agreed that the hear- ing would occupy but a short time, and an adjournment was taken until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The jury, counsel and witness then entered conveyances and were driven to the Ingleside subdivision. —<$—=— DISORDER IN PHILADELPHIA, and Conductors Driven From Their Cars, Work of Hoodlums, Not Strikers. The most serious disturbance in Philadel- phia yesterday in connection with the street railway strike occurred shortly before 2 o'clock on Chesnut street between Sth and 15th, the busiest part of the city. A crowd collected near Sth and Chestnut streets, where the conductors and motormen of two cars were induced to leave their posts. The crowds broke the windows in these cars, and at this juncture the mob saw a line of six cars coming down Chestnut street. ‘ They started with a yell for them, and the motormen and conductors, as soon as they saw the angry crowd coming, desert- ed their posts and fled up Chestnut street as fast as their legs could carry them. The mob attacked the cars, smashed every win- dow, tore the fenders from the dashboards and wreaked all possible destruction. A group of reserve policemen gathered, but t y were ff ctically powerless, Inside a half hour there were about two cars to the bleck on Chestnut street from Sth to 15th, each surrounded by a howliag mob. Shortly after 2 o’clock,the Sth street line was blocked for the firft time. The com- rany's efforts had been concentrated on this ine. The men working on it had not been org inized, and cays had been running uninterruptedly up to that hour. The tie- up on that sireet is regarded as a neavy blow to the company. At that hour the cars stood in a long line, with their ropes tied about the poles to prevent their cui- ting by the mob. Most of the destructive work is being per- petrated by the hoodlum element and strike As a rule the strikers them- arefully observing Leader Ma- hen's injunction to observe order. About the time of the Chestnut street disturbances a mob collected on Saysom street, one block , and attacked a car, completely wreck- Motormen — Transfers of Real Estate.
