The union bricklayers employed on the power house of the Mount Vernon Electric railway at Four Mile Run, Va., were called off the work Saturday because non-union men were employed there. All complied ex- cept William Cox. His refusal was based, he said, on the fact that he had not received a written notice to quit. The ground for this action on the part of the Bricklayers’ Union was that their members were working at the rate of $4 for nine hours, which is below the schedule fixed by the union. It Is believed the metter will be adjusted in a day or two. Meanwhile the non-union bricklayers are at work on the building. Cigar Makers’ Union No. 110 Saturday evening elected the following officers: Pres- ident, Peter J. Hahn; vice president, August L. Dahler; financial secretary, Charles J. Hueter; corresponding and recording secre- tary. Henry Wissner; treasurer, C. A. Cook sergeant-al-arms, Andrew Hess John Ester, John B. Buehling; auditors, John Willis, John Wingate, John H. Buehl- ing; finance committee, John Wingate, John B. Buehling; label committee, August Dah- ler and Samuel Beck. Delegates to the Fed- eration of Labor, D. A. 66, Knights of Labor and the bureau of labor and workingmen's library will be elected at the next meeting. Announcement was made at the meeting -of Columbia Typographical Unton yesterday that arrangements have been completed by the union for making Darby’s printing office a union shop, if the proprietor thereof de- sires to employ union men. There was some discussion relative to the case of the four ron-union compositors who were recently employed by Public Printer Benedict, but no action was taken. —.__ AMUSEMENTS. Wilton Lackaye’s Speech.—Wilton Lack- ake's fricnds thronged the Lafayette Sat- urday night and gave him such a send-off on the farewell performance of ‘“I'rilby” as few veterans in the dramatle profession have received. When the curtain fell on his startling portrayal of Svengali’s death the theater rang with cheers. The curtain was repeatedly raised, but the gathering wanted to hear Lackaye, and not until he uttered a few words of acknowledgment was it satisfied. It was the first time Mr. Lackaye had ever yielded to the demand for remarks. It had been made every even- ing during the engagement, but he steadily resisted. Finally, when the curtain again rose, he stood on the stage ulone. It would be impossible for me to express to you,” he said, “how grateful we are for this most beautiful testimony of your ap- preciation. I cannot tell how glad I am to get back to my native town, where many of you have known me as a boy, and receive such kind treatment. I never in my wild- est ambition, when I adopted my chosen profession, dreamed on returning here and ng greeted in such a beautiful manner. I can only say that I thank you.” Renew- ed cheers followed. Henry Irving and Ellen Terry.—Manager Allen, in co-operation with Messrs. Abbey, hoeffel and Grau (under the auspices of the last named of whom the distinguished English players have made ail but one of their five tours in this country),will bring to Washington, on Monday evening, January 13, for a week's visit Nen'’s Grand Opera House, Henry Irving,Miss Ellen Ter- ry and the London Lyceum Company. No less than ten diiferent plays are to be offered at the eight performances, and only two plays are to he repented. ‘The reper- tolre of the week is as follows: Monday night, Januar and Saturday matinee, January 18, "The Merchant of Venice with Henry Irving in his assumption of Shylock and Miss Ellen Terry in the role of Portia, Tuesday night, Charles Read comedy, in one act, “Nance Oldfield,” will aiford Miss Ellen Terry the best of oppor- tunittes in a happy assumption of Mrs. Anne Oldield. Leopold Lewis’ adaptation of Erckmann-Chatrian’s, “Che Polis under the title of “The Bells," will Henry Irving In his wonderful creation of Mathias, a part which has always been recognized as the acme of melodramatic art. “At the Wednesday’matinee Lord Ten- nyson's great historical play, “Becket,” with Henry Irving in the title role, will be the offering. Wednesday evening ‘a triple bill of three one-act plays will be offered: The-late W. C. Wills’ “A Chapter From ‘Don Quixote,’ with Henry Irving es Master Quixada (otherwise Don Quixote de la Mancha), a characterization which has been most extravagantly praised by ail critics; a proverb comedy of much bright- ness and spirit, entitled “Journeys End in Lovers Meeting,” by John Oliver Hobbes (Mrs. Craigie), in which Miss Ellen Terry has a very gracious role as Lady Soupire, and Dr. A. Conan Doyle’s wonderful sk “A Story of Waterloo,” in which Hi Irving enacts an aged Waterloo veteran and pensioner, Corporal Gregory Brewster. This last named impersonation has been considered, in many respects, the most re- markable and vivid of all Henry Irving's briefer performances. Thursday _ night, January 16, “Journeys End in Lovers Meet- ing” will be repeated, and Charles Reade’s adaptation of “Le Courler de Lyon—The Lyon's Mail" wiil present Henry Irving in his very striking dual assumption of Du- bose and Lesurques. J. Comyns Carr's beautiful poetical drama, “King Arthur,” founded upon the legendary history of the times of the Knights of the Round Table, will receive its first representation in this city Friday night, January 17, with Henry Irving as King Arthur and.Miss Ellen Ter- ry as Queen Guinevere. This play 1s ac- counted the most sumptuous and magnifti- cent production Henry Irving has ever made. Saturday night Henry Irving will be seen in his marvelous historical role of Louis XI in Cassimir Delavigne's play of the same name. Such a remarkable list of plays may leave an embarrassment of choice for patrons, but, assuredly, ail of the finest tastes of theater goers will find some- thing in which to particularly delight among such an array of great presenta ions. —- —- For a Christmas Dinner. A literary and musical entertainment was given at Carroll Institute Hall last Friday evening fer the benefit of the annual children’s Christmas dinner. The hall was crowded to the doors, and when the chairs were pushed back for the dancing, which began about 10 o'clock, the spectators com- pletely filled the floor and left no room for the dancers. The program consisted of literary and musical features, interspersed with fancy dancing. The pupils of the Misses Hawke gave fancy dances, while nineteen members of the High School gave the minuet which was rendered at the teachers’ bazaar. The set consisted of Misses Carusi, Ward, Bangs, Sohon, Ma- rean, Pease, Endicott and ‘Tucker, and Messrs. Von Bayer, Hottel, Fox, McKean, Young, Chase, Farrow and Ray. The High School Banjo and Guitar Club rendered several numbers, which were well received. Miss Grace and Mr, Robert Test appeared in “A Pair of Lunatics,” while other liter- ary numbers were given by Miss Spalding, Miss Nesmith and Miss Edna Bliss. Miss Agnes Eloise Alden gaye a piano solo, and Miss Vernon and Mrs. Hobart ch contributed vocal solos. The little ones that participated in the fancy dances were Misses Helen Durnin, Virginia Walker, Madeline Burns, Adelia Burdine, Gretchen Schmidt, Reta Baer, Nellie Lynch, Katherine Sliney, Florence Mc- Guirk, May Belle Owen and Masters Ed- ward Gibbons, James O'Toole, La Salle Schmidt and Willie Leaving Washington for His Health. Owing to long continued ill health, Mr. A. J. Falls will leave Washington this week for Louisiana, Mrs. Falls’ old home, to reside possibly permanently. Mrs. Falls has a large cotton plantation in about the center of the state, which will be their fu- ture home. There will be general regret felt for Mr. Falls’ departure, and particu- larly for the cause for it. He has been for many years a most useful and valued citl- zen, and has been especially identified with the gooa work done by the Reform School. It is earnestly hoped that he will soon re- gain his health and be able to resume his residence In Washington. ——— __ A Business Woman's Directory. The Business Weman’s Club has estab- ished a woman's directory. The plan, as stated, is to furnish upon application, free, the names and addresses of women engaged, in different lines of business. It aims to es- tablish a reliable medium through which persons wishing work quickly and skillfully done can find thorough and well-drilled workers, as well as to assist women in ob- taining work. Many kinds of business are represented in the directory, and, it is set forth, the club will furnish the addresses of only thoroughly reliable persons. It has been further arranged to furnish chaperons and guides of intelligence for strangers vis- iting the city, and to attend to shopping for persons out of town, trustees,§ Deeble, DRAWN FOR SERVICE Those Persons Who Will Serve the Coming Term.
