ALLEN’S. GOOD.BYE The Members of the First Ohurch Give Him a Gold Watch. A Happy Testimonial to the Esteem and Afiection im Which He is « Held by the Congregation. The congregation of the First Presbyte- rian Church met in the Sunday school room last evening, at the request of Rev. Adolos Allen, the associate pastor, with a view to making arrangements for Mr. Al- len’s retirement from the church. There was a large assemblage of members of the church present, and Dr. Sunderland, the senior pastor, presided. But little formal business was necessary to be done, and that was done quickly. A committee, con- sisting of Elder O. C. Wight, Elder Octa- vius Knight, Mr. A. E. L, Leckie, Mr. E. D. Tracy and Dr. H. L. Mann, was ap- pointed to represent the church before the presbytery next Monday, and satisfy that body that entirely amicabie arrangements have been made between Mr, Allen and the chureh, with a view to his resignation and withdrawal. As the meeting was about to adjourn, Mr. Leckie asked for an opportu- nity to say a few words, and, suiting the action to the word, presented Mr. Allen with a handsome hunting-case gold watch, with chased covers, and bearing the in- scription, “Presented to the Rev. Adolos Allen by the congregation of the First Presbyterian Church, Washington, D. C; January 31, 1896." As he did so, Mr. Leckie made a short speech, in which he testified to the deep appreciation on the part of the congregation for Mr. Allen's services among them as a minister and a friend. He said that in all the work allotted to him Mr. Allen had proved himself to be a gentleman of the highest Christian char- acter, faithful in all things, whoge absence would be deeply felt and regretted by all. In closing Mr. Leckie said: ‘We hope that you have banished from your mind every thought of the recent unpleasantness, and beg to assure you that every member of th!s ecngregation—I say every member, with an emphasis on the every—wishes you well, Godspeed and Wwiumphant success in what- ever field you may be called upon to labor. Your labors here have been appreciated, and your teachings have rooted themselves in rich and fertile soil that will yet bear testi- y for you. on behalf of, and in the name of, the congregation here assembled, I beg to present you with this testimonial as a further e nce of the exalted regard and high esteem in which you have ever been. held. Take it, wear it; it will remind you of many pleasant associations, and call to mind your many friends in this church and city, who ere legion, and through Jt you may read the lesson that integrity, fidelity and manly courtesy never fail of a ‘eciation.”” Mr. Allen was very much surprised by this sion of esteem, d hardiy knew what w broken words he accepted n Dr. Sunderland made a the gift, and t brief speech, testifying happily to the value of Mr. ices, and of his exceed- Ss and respect always to the for pastor and th ers and board of trustees of the church. The audience all seized the opportunity to shake Mr. Allen by the hand and say good-bye to him, —_—— AMUSEMENTS. Allen's Grand Opera House.—Though there was a good deal of disappointment at the change of tne opera originally an- nounced for last night, those who attended Allen's Grand Opera House—and the audi- ence was large and fully as notable as on the night previous—were treated to a formance of “Lohengrin” that called forth the warmest demonstrations of approba- tion. As was the case with “Tannhauser,” the presentation was given with the most careful attention to detail in every depart- ment, that was in marked contrast to the manner in which this beautiful work is usually preduced. .The rich melody of the score—for “Lohengrin,” like “Tannhauser,” is one of the earlier works of Wagner- found adequate interpretation by princi- pals and chorus, and the glorious orchestra over which Mr. Walter Damrosch wiclds the baton and the stage seitings were su- perb. The cast Included Mr. Berthald as Lohengrin, Miss Gadski_ as Elsa, Conrad Behrens, King Heyy; Demeter Popovici, Telramund; Miss Eibenschuetz, Ortrud, and Wm. Mertens, the herald. Mr. Berthald has an excellent stage presence and real- izes to the eye the mythical knight. His voice is of pleasing quality, powerful and expressive, and he sang with spirit the numbers that are well known, and in the recitatives his delivery was forceful and effective. Miss Gadski, who was heard here for the first time, pleesed all by her artistic singing and acting. Her voice is not as full as that of Mme. Klafsky, but it was per- fectiy adequate to the part of Elsa, and from her opening appeal, with its yearning and its path to the final curtain she found favor with her audience. Her song en the balcony in the second act was bea tifully interpreted, and her scene with Or- trud and Telramund was given with great M enschuetz empha- ic interpretation of Or- trud the favorable impression she had cre- ated the night before, and although there Were times when it seemed as if her voice was hard arge enough for the exactions of the score, she sang with energy and ccr- rectness. Mr. Mertens fvas thoroughly sat- isfactory as the herald, bis delivery being noticeable for clearness of enunciation and accuracy of tone. Z If in a cast that was of such general ex- cellence there was one superior member, it was Popovici, whose full, rich baritone voice gave to the score of Telramund a musical tone and dramatic intensity that was very gratifying. He is an excellent actor, too, and was remarkably effective, not only in the scenes with Ortrud, but during the finale of the second act, and the entire work at this time, of principals, chorus and orchestra, was of such a character as to arouse the greatest enthusiasm in the audi- ence, who demanded the raising of the cur- tain sev 1 times before they would be sat- isfied. Mr. Behrends was a dignified and impressive King Henry, his powerful bass voice finding good opportunity for the dis- play of its de-p tones. The orchestra inter- preted the overture in a manner that was a delight to every lover of music, and, for- tunately, there was no interruption by peo- ple attempting to find their seats, as those who came after its commencement were obliged to wait in the lobby until it was fin- ished. Mr. Damrosch was presented with a beautiful bunch of roses at the close of the first act by the Damrosch Club of this city, the members of which, with their ladies, were present as the guests of the talented young conductor. This afternoon “Sieg- fried” is being given, and tonight the sea- son will close with “Die Meistersinger.” It is hoped that Mr. Damrosch will be en- couraged by the results of this venture to bring his company here annually, for Ger- man opera, as he has presented it, is a reve- lation to those who have never had an op- portunity to hear it in New York or in its native home, Allen's Grand Opera House.—A stirring series of incidents, the clank and clatter of armed men, the ccming and going of venge- ful Indians, the love of an army surgeon for two women and the feiling of his machina- tions by a full-blooded Sioux Indian, who has had the civilizing influence of a col- legiate course at Yale, are the threads from which Messrs. Harkins and Barbour have woven the story of “Northern Lights,” the rew American melodrama, which has achieved a Gistinct success In New York and Bosten. It is a stery of garrison life in Montana during the Indian uprising of 1876, ingeniously and cleverly told, anf con- tains some novel characters and- develop- ments. It is presented by a strong company and with an elaborate scenic outfit, showing several picturesque sceres of camp and gar- rison life. The last act shows a realistic and thrilling picture of a company of troops be- sieged in the mountains by a band of In- dians, 4nd their release by a rescuing party, when on the point of capitulation. It will be — at the Grand Opera House Monday night. Lafayette Square Opera House.—Roland Reed has been given a royal welcome throughout the country. He will play his annual engagement in this city at the La- fayette Square Opera House next week. Mr. Reed returns this year in a new mask, ad- mirably fitted to his own unique style—the effervescent and frothy role of Gen. Josiah Limber, the hero of Lloyd and Rosenfeld’s new satire, “The Politician, or the Woman's Plank.” From his early advent as the cau- cus boomer in search of a congressional candidate with a barrel, to his final appeal to his constituents before the footlights, the walls of the Opera House will ring with shouts of laughter, and the general is unan- imously elected by his audience as a prince of entertainers. His performance is a most fon the graphophone, delight portrayal of the type of the rough Se aay ihe generat roves to adroit his rn a Panett een ‘war, an a deans dealer, whose fine Italian hand is equally at home at running a caucus, ‘‘jollying the boys,” making solid the Chi lunk dele- paren or managing the cam; fund. A road caricature laid on he “boljest stroke, impersonation ts itably fun- ny throughout. The critic cannot quarrel even with the pronounced Reedisms of the interlocutory campaign ditty and the Span- h fandango. “The Politician” {s a rollick- i play of essentially American humor. There are wuany’ clever characters intro- duced, one of which, the twentieth century girl, is charmingly played by Miss Isadore Rush. New National Theater.—‘“‘The Bostonians” come to the National Theater next week. Academy of Music.—‘The Derby Winner” is the attraction at the Academy of Music next week. Kernan'’s Lyceum Theaten—Next week Manager Kernan will have for his at- traction the Vaudeville Club, which is another of Weber and Fields’ high-class and superior organizations. European, as well as American “stars,” are listed among the names appearing on the program, per- haps the most prominent of which is that of Sam Bernerd, the inimitable German dialect comedian and mlmic, whose excep- tional ability to entertain has made him a favorite throughout the entire country, Other names appearing on the roster are McIntyre and Heath, the funny and origi- nal Ethiopian character artists; Lizzie B. Raymond, the fascinating singer of catchy songs; the Meers Brothers, supreme mon- archs of the bounding wire; O’Brien and Buckley, musical experts and comedians; McBride and Goodrich, the liish comedy ‘duo, and the Fansons, refined sketch ar- tists. The performance will conclude with a laughing absurdity entitled, “The Wor)i’s Balloon.” There will be matinees Tuesday, ‘Thursday and Saturday. People’s Ccurse of Lectures.—Mr. John P. Clum of California is to furnish the third entertainment of “The. People’s Course,” at Universalist Church, Monday evening next, when he will present one of his illustrated” short stories, ‘West by South Half S. via the Old Santa Fe Trail.” Mr. Clum is a very interesting speaker, and, having had an extensive personal experience with the scenes he depicts, his graphic and thrilling stories of that d ard beautiful country are of more than wsual interest. The next entertainment of the coursé is Mr. Mur- ray’s beautiful production, “Scenes and Songs of the War,” on February 10. Colvmbia Musical_Parlors.—Mr. George Graham, the clever Washington comedian, in his laughable “Police Court Dialogues” has attracted large crowds to the mus‘cal parlors of the Co- lumbia Phonograph Company. The scene takes place in the police court, and is in Mr. Graham's funniest vein. Among the attractions Jn the kinetoscope is a “Wrest ling Match,” by two stalwart athletes, and “The Fan Dance by Senorita Lola Yberri, a very pretty and graceful novelty everal records of songs by Mr. J. J. Fisher, the popular Washington baritone singer, ‘have been put om exhibition, and have proved good drawing cards, There are many other new and interesting attractions cn both the graphophenes and kinetoscopes. Eleonora Duse.—The dramatic event of the season will be the appearance of Eleonora Duse in Washington for the first tme uary 17. It is three years since she ted this country. When she came she was practically unknown. In ten days she was declared by every theatrical critic to be a very great actress. Mme. Duse apso- lutely surrenders herself to her art. When she comes to the theater she comes to play a part. When she leaves the stage at the close of an act nothing must break the spell hich she has forced upon herself. Sh has recently heen playing in Brussel Copenhagen, Paris and other cities, al repeating her triumphs. Mme. Duse play but four times during her stay Washington, at the Lafayette Square Ops House. Th: dramas in which she will appear are “Camille, agda,” “Mogite di Claude” (The Wife of Claude) and “La Locandiera” (The Hostess.)

S. Gilbert's drama, “Broken Hearts.” For the past three year Miss Rowland has been pursuing her stud- ies under Boston professors. She has made quite an original departure in the dramatic line by undertaking monologue work. iier powers are best displayed in a scene taken from Henry Irving's great play, “The Bells,” especially arranged for Row- land. All of her numbers are given in cos- tume, and vary in character, from the tragic to the soubrette.

The members of the Capital Bicycle Club and many of their friends enjoyed a ¢ce- lightful banquet last night at the club house on 15th street. It was the seven- teenth time in as many years that such a feast of reason and ftow of soul had been indulged in, and every one who participated declared it was by long odds the best. "The menu caid was printed on heavy orange cardboard, with the picture of a cat for a frontispiece, and the delicate hint thus conveyed that the guests were expected to stay up iate was adopted with much una- nimity. After the courses were completed toasts were in order, and many bright Speeches were made. The banauet com- mittee consisted of Messrs. Irving William- son, W. D. Wirt, W. F. Roberts, J. L, Wirt, H.

FOR SABBATH . OBSERVANCE The Women’s Aliiince Adopts a Declara- tion ‘nf Principles. A Campaign for/Members to Be Push- ed in Every Church—Officers of the.(Organization. A meeting of the: Women’s Sabbath Alll- arce of the District of Columbia was held yesterday to consult as to the further werk of the organization. Miss Morton, the president, wasrin the chair, and Mrs. Jcseph Taber Johnson, as secretary, read the minutes of the previous meetings,which were approved, It was determined to ap- point two ladies in each church in the city to solicit members for the association. The terms of membership are a fee of not leas than 25 cents, and subscribing to the pledge of the local society. In view of the fact that some good Sabbatarians did not feel they could pledge themselves to some of the specifications of the national body, and to allow more personal liberty, the follow- Bas was adopted as a declaration of prin- ciples: “The women of America, recognizing the American Christian Sabbath-#s our rightful inheritance, bequeathed to us by our fore- fathers; as the foundation of our national prosperity; as the safeguard of our social, civil and religious blessings; as the con- servator of the rights of the wage-earners, will do all that we can to fesist, by precept and exainple, whatever tends to undermine Sunday as a day of rest and worship, and we will use our influence to create a right sentiment on all aspects of this Sunday question, especially with reference to traffic of every kind on that day, Sunday entertainments and amusements, neither giving nor attending them, and we will recognize the rights of those in our employ to as great a part of that day for rest and worship as it is possible for us to give, and we will have only such literature for our clildren and households as will conserve to their highest spiritual good.” A Commilitee in Each Church. It 1s expected to have only the one organi- zation, and to have a committee in each church of every denomination, who will obtain new members, work up meetings in the interest of Sabbath “observance, and use every means possible to create the right sen- tment upon all questions pertaining to the subject. It was Impossible to complete the appointment of these committees yesterday without- further consultation with the pas- tors of the churches, but they will be an- nounced as early as practicable. It was resolved that the officers of the alliance constitute an executive committee for the transaction of business, and that the committees appointed by the different churches shall constitute an advisory board to the executive committee. It was also re- | solved to ask the co-operation of the Distric unions of the Christian Endeavor societies and Epworth League in the effort of the ladies, as well as the Society of the Daugh- ters of the Revolution, for patriotic reasons. The Officers. Mrs. T. S. Hamlin was elected first vice president, and Mrs, Bliss and Mrs. Wm. L. Wilson were added to the list of vice pre: dents.
