Foster, who, at seventy-nine, was killed in our streets by a careless bicyclist, him forsaken on the street. She had spent her whole life as a teacher, and belonged to a very serviceable family of teachers and preachers in New England, being the only sister of the following ministers: Revs. E. B. Foster, D.D.; Wm. Cowper Foster, Roswell Foster, Davis Fosier and Dr. Bax- ter Foster, nearly all of them graduates of Dartmouth College, and men of great vigor and strength of character, the last the ent of a new college in Oklahoma. wns ip which in the course of her she “taught are Uxbridge, Haverhii Northampton and West Springfield, Mass and Dover, Concord, Great Falls and Hen- niker, N. H. She was a native of Hanover, N. H. The dignity and usefulness of lady, her age, her large circle of relativ _and her many pupiis make the circum mees uf her death a suitable occasion to éive emphasis to a remonstrance against the reckless use of bicycles, so common on our streets. It will soon be the case that a woman or child will hardly dare venture from home. Phe bicyclist is more danger- ous than the trolley; for the trolley is kept on a singie track, but the bicyclist has no whereabouts to which he is confined. He turns a corner and is on you, and in the twinkling “of an eye has done some unex- pected deed.

Scenically the pretentions are j less than small, and the indifference to The Italian Actress Appears for the First Time in Washington. A Splendid Impersonation of Dumas’ Heroine Camille at the Lafayette Square Opera House. From Italy, the cradleland of art, comes a new dramatic star of dazzling magnitude. Eleanora Duse made her first appearance in Washington at the Lafayette Square Opera House last night, before an‘audience whose personnel gave the approbation which this actress received more than the force of a popular demonstration. The applause she received was that of critical discrimination. Lithe of form, sinuous of carriage, black- haired, low-browed and intense, she com- manded the interest and sympathy of her audience by the ardor of her nature rather than by polished declamation and studied poses. Her appearance as “Camille” gave the public as good an opportunity to become acquainted with her as her repertoire pre- sents. Most of her plays are not of the usual list for emotional actresses known in America, but the Dame of the Camelias has been made lovable. pitiable or ordinary, as ght be, by all who have trodden and an impersonation, which, ses, would be a challenge to as with Duse an easy and in triumph. In no way could the truism art knows no geographical boundaries 'y illustrated than by to an Engl! Italian actress, who, member of her com- ed her mother tongue in pre- senting the masterpiece of a French dra- t. In criticising his son's work on this the elder Dumas, speaking with the enthusiasm of the literary vivisectionist, have heen more forci the cessful app employ sentiment, to the t raths whieh assert themselves in a ‘amille’s position in the It would have been unnatural, and he was warm in complimenting the plot de ‘h she was restored to ties of th 1. The am- has been, as with every r beyond the of every-day ccmpretienston; to ra creature with tmpulses and sen- ith Camille, heroine of fiction, to ideali: range sibilities beyond the reach of mortals, as they know eac . Duse's Camille seems ely in sympathy with the m of litterateur. Discarding the affec- ions which have become so common as to attract no notice, and stepping into the realm of the absolutely real, audacious convincing o gilding of forced sentimental career; no h apology fate. The tragedy is consun-mated with a‘ fecl- ing that her suffering was the fulfillment of a destiny which..the noble, character awakened by her sincere affection for Armand could not avert. Duse cannot be considered us an artist only. Her per- fermance impresses the auditor as an in- spiration of the hour and not a mere study i ience of expression. There is a erture which she 2 ‘She makes no flaunting appeal to the imagination either in voice or gesture. The auditor is made to s mpathize by an appeal to the intuition by which one human being knows that another suffers. Moy: which with the y would be col- ss and common-pla¢e in her become eloquent. The tears which flow from her eyes do not seem the hackneyed “real tears” of theatrical commerce. She is so sincere in all else that she does that these incidents, ordinarily deserving to be cla: fied as mechanical effects, must he accepte as genuine with the rest. In the produ tion there was little or no attention to details of furnishings cannot be entirely excused by pleading the artist's confidence in her superiority to serreuncings, for all that she touches is of regal juguriousness and beauty. Her gowns afuwraps are of richness which commends the untutered admiration of the mafe as well as the envious sigh of discriminating femininity. It does not appear that great thought has been given to the supporting company. It is no doubt taken for granted that at- tention will be focussed on the star, and Armand, impersonated by Carlo Rosa- spiro. did not shine with splendor, which customarily surrounds the role. Ara fails in the case of Duse. She is sui gereris. Her siruggles for recogni- tion were long and arduous. But she seems to have been a great actress from the be- ginning, waiting oniy for the opoprtunity und unmistakably possessed of the qual- fties which command, if they can once be made kno Her progress was not a rise, step by step, in a routine schooling. Much of her life was pass- ed waiting in the ranks of the unsuccess- ful for a chance to display her superiority over her surrcundings. There is little of the intellectual in the impression she cre- ates. It is the fierce white flame of un- Tesirained emotion which makes the spec- tator pliable to her moods. I+ is for this reason that comparisons with other emi- nent actresses would he difficult. She has the natural fervor, which compels utten- tion and has little or nothing to do with method. She sives herself unstintedly to the role that she assumes, regardless ef the penalty which nature must one day claim for so lavish an expenditure of vitality. There is_a commendable disposition on the past of Duse’s management to refrain from the usual parade of personalities in connection with this si She is marvel- ous as she appears behind the footlights, ard the worht has little to do with the in- dividual eccentricities or the charms of in- tellectual cultivaticn, which she may or may not possess. Her Camille left an impression never to be effaced, and the only doubt that arises in the contemplation of her genius is the thought that it is too fiercely brilliant to endure. 2 Despite the occasions which claimed the consideration of the fashionable world elsewhere last night the social life of Washington was weil represented. In giv- ing “Camille’- Duse has an advantage in ic’s familiarity with Dumas’ heroine which overcomes the difficulties presented by a difference in language—dif- ficulties in which th. so-cailed beoks of the play are found to be strangely and in- excusably inadequate. The assumption that a cultivated theater patronagé has no reed of a libretto should either bej carried to its logical conclusion—that of dispensing entirely with the serv- ices of vendors in the auditorium, or else it should be abandoned so as to permit members of the audience who neither be- long to the Italian legation nor attend boarding schools to follow the play as closely as may be desired, even at the risk of punctuating sublimities in progress on the stage with the unseemly rustle of turning leaves. Tomorrow night Duse ap- Fears in “Caso Paterna.” —— WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY. Preparations for Commemoratory Exercises in the Public Schools. The preparations for the exercises com- memoratory of George Washington in the public schools of the District of Columbia ‘Thursday and Friday next are being rap- idiy perfected, but as yet the list of pre- siding officers and speakers for the several school buildings has not been more than half completed. The committee of the board of trade, asssisted by Secretary Falck of the board of school trustees, how- ever, is hard at work, and it is expected that all details will be arranged before to- morrow ‘night. . AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House.—The new “‘Superba’ of the Hanlon Brothers made its first ap- pearance in Washington last night at the Grand and scored a hit. “Superba” is of the type of spectacular and pantomiraic productions which the Hanlons lead in, and it léads all previous efforts in this line. The production is divided into three acts, carrying with them a love story, in which the lovers are beset by wicked fairies and hobgoblins and all sorts of weird things, to be at last restored to each other and happiness. This is the usual plot of spec- tacles, and “Superba” is not unlike the others in this respect. Where it differs is in its remarkable mechanical effects, its fine scenery, its ballets and the number and fitness of the people in the play. The magical effects produced at most unexpect- ed times and in most unexpected places keep the audience in a continual state of surprise and astonishment, and the fun of the situations makes the surprise most agreeable. While there is not a feature that is urworthy of notice there are some more noticeable than others. Among these are the contortion act by the Brothers Bosani, who are the disappearing demons of the’ play; Sylvia’s execution chair, from which via is made to disappear mysterious and the novel and difficult tumbling of Charles Guyer. Among so many ood things it is hardly possible to say that any and is best. All are as good as can be, especially is everything clean, for perba” appeals strongly to children, wherever it goes the children go after it. All the effects, costumes and properties are new, and the word that can best describe “Superba” is iis own name minus the iast letter. New National Theater.—It was an oid ac- quaintance come back again at the Na- tional Theater last night, and a soocly house greeted “Sowing the Wind,” with that pretty Kentucky girl, Mary Hamp‘on, as hostess of~the occasion and the fair Rosamond of the play. Yet all the others came in for their full share of welco! Only one or two changes have been made in the cast, and as the characters came Gut last night it was more like meeting ob! ac- quaintances than seeing a play, and the audience shook hands with each one by pleasing little rustles of applause. It is scarcely necessary to comment upon the playing. In the nature of things it must be smoother and easier now than it was a year ago, for with each performance cf a gets a little further away from «he artificial and comes nearer the nature of the player. “Sowing the Wind” is a play that wiil last longer, that has lasted | than many of its contemporaries in the beginning, and though it has its faults, as all things human have, its excellenc sufficient to maintain its continuity. ‘ademy of Music.—‘The County Fair” has been seen here many times, but last night Neil Burgess appeared in his original character of Abigail Prue. There is a quaint- ness ahout his impersonation of the old maid that ha n attained by no one else who has playedsthe part and the audi- ence at ence recognized his superiority, and gave kim the most liberal 2pplause. Mr. Burgess has surrounded himself with geod company. In the husking bee the Co- bia quartet sang well, and the race scene. as usual, Was an exciting incident. Kernan’s Lyceum Theate:.—The popular comedian, Pat Reilly, at the head of his vauceville company, is the attraction ernan’s this week. This is the second sit of the show this yer, although since st appearance it has been materially d and greatly strengthened. he Fremouts, ar excellent sketch team, be the program, and are foilowed by the Lane,whose terpsichorean abilitie won for them the title of the “quee' dance.” Billy Eldridge proved a w are vorite and a gcod comedian, and Pat Reil- ly contributed one of lis side-splitting. ches, in which he hi no peer. F tocq did a black-face act, and Ellis was as clever as ever. Dixon, Wilscn, a new face on the , made the bit cf the evening. ous Naticnal Trio sang themselves into favor, and a series of marble statues by living subjects closed the entertainment. Willard Hall—The annual entertainment of the Comus Club was given last evening at Willard Hall. The attendance -omplete- ly filled the floor of the hall and the gai- lery. The entertainment was given under the auspices of Estner Chapter, No. 5, O. E. S. and is the third one which the club has given. The first part of the program was taken up by musical and literary se- lections. The sceond half was devoted t the production of the comic operetta, “Pen. 2,” and thid vas followed by dancing, which lasted until midnight. Miss Flora Gibson cnd Mr. Fowler crened the enter- tainment with a piano duet, and they were followed by Mr. Melville Hensey, who ren- dered a tenor solo. Mrs. Browning and Mr Kaiser gave a musical dialogue, and Mr: Hudson sang the cavatina fiom “Robert le Disable.” Mr. Conley gave Willard Hol- comb’s character sketch, “Since Katie Got Struck on the Stage,” in bis happy style, and was foliowed ty Mr. Roberts, baritone; Miss Seaman, recitaticnist; Miss Mattie Gibson, soprano, and Mr. Schaaff, the lat- ter rendering three mandolin solos in ex- cellent style. Mr. Fowler, Miss Flora Gib- son and Miss Belle Gibson acted as the ac- companists of the evening. The operetia was exceedingly well presented, the prin- cipal part, of course, being taken by Mr. Conley. His portrayal of Pitcher, the po- liceman, was exceedingly funny. Mr. Hine took the pi rt of Tosser, Mr.Roberts, Chalk; Mr. King, Skinny; Mrs, Browning, Mrs. Croaker, end Mrs. Hudson, Penelope. The stage was well managed by Mr. A. Thad. Seaman. The Operetta “Bo-Peep.”—An entertain- ment, which netted quite a sum for the cause of charity, was given at Odd Fel- lcws’ Hall, southeast, last evening, the principal feature being an operetta, ‘“Lo- Peep,” in which all of the principal parts were taken by children. Those wno pa ticipated in this feature were Roberta Fowen, Ada Turner, Mabel: Gross, eulah Luxen, Fred. Bradford, Will Anderson, Har ry Anderson, Jennie Chandler, Alice Tay. lor, Pauline Hindle, Laura Gross, Jennie Carter, Eva Colville, Blanche Hindle and Maud Berkeley. Miss Lucie Rogers acted as accompanist, and also rendered several piano solos during the evening. A curtain raiser, “Cupid Among the Rose: which the parts were taken by W. A. Mctabe, J. C. Bennett, Mollie Rogers, Josie Bowen and Mrs. Smith, was given. A Delsarte drill was given by Misses Gates, Watson, Pumphrey, Bowen, Alevin and Barbour, and a minuet was danced by Misses Bessie Ot- terbach and Josie Steinberg. Jarley’s Wax Works.—An entertainment, consisting of Mrs. Jarley’s Wax Wor given at Masonic Temple last evening for the benefit of Sibley Memorial Hospital. The affair was given under the auspices of the Yourg Women’s Home Missionary Society, and the sum netted is quite a neat one. A’ banjo duet, by Messrs. Staats and Winslow, was given as a sort of overture, and then the curtain rose on je Wax works. Mr. Hamlin impersonated Mrs. Jar- ley ina pleasing manner. Others who par- ticipated in the musical part of the enter- tafnment were Misses Helen Nye, Pillsbury and O'Neill, Miss Westcott and Miss Daish. Those who took parts in the wax works and performed their little acts at the will of Mrs. Jarley were as follows: Prima Don- na, Mrs. Brumbaugh; Indian, Mr. Mat- thews; Pocahontas, Miss Young; Capt. John Smith, Mr. H. Chandlee; ‘rily Miss O'Neill; Svengali, Mr. Patterson; Little Bil. lee, Mr. Ward; Puritan Malden, Miss C. Chandlee; Armenian, Miss A.

Kehoe, one of the official stenographers of the House, is mourning the loss of a batch of copy, which has mys- teriously disappeared. He reported the hear- ing of the woman suffrage advocates before the House committee recently, and the copy, by request, was sent to Mrs, Clara Colby for revision. A colored man, it f8 said, sub- sequently called for it, and the man and the copy have disappeared. Mr. Kehoe has his original notes, but is very anxious to hear from the colored man with the copy. ieee Anthropological Society.

The Speeche: The Carroll Inktithte held its annual ban- quet last evening? at the hall of. the insti- tute, on 10th street; and the occasion was an exceedingly agreeable one. As the guests arrived they were received in the parlors by a committee, consisting of John J. Dolan, James: F. Shea, Francis Miller, Jos. Burkhard and Nathaniel T. Taylor. Some time was spent in the library, and at 8:30 o'clock the line was formed to the handsome hall, in which the banquet was laid. The tables were handsomely deco- rated with “potted plants and candelabra, and the colors of the institute, yellow and white, were liberally displayed. The ar- rangement of the tables was in the form of a hollow square, and at the head sat ee, Bogus, the president, with Rev. Mr. ag McGee, assistant pastor of St. Patrick's Church, and Father O'Connell on his right, and on his left were Brother Fabrician, president of St. John’s College, .

After-the discussion of an excellent menu President Bogus made a happy address of Welcome, and introduced Mr. J. F. Shea, the toastmaster, who introduced the speak- ers with exceedingly appropriate and in some instances -really eloquent remarks. The first toast, “The Sovereign Pontiff,” was responded to by Rev. Father McGee, who referred to the head of the church in glowing terms, speaking of his many virtues and attainments, and the benefits he had conferred upon the world since his eleva- tion to the ‘papacy. He referred to the Catholic University of America, which had been established at the capital of this great nation as a monument to Leo XUI, which would stand for ages to come. the theme of Mr. John i which was an eloquent ibute to the civil and religious liberty that found only in this great republic. ‘The Capital City” was eulogized b; .

' Archbishop Ireland Elected a Vice President and He Has Accepted, | The single vacancy in the executive com- mittee of the American Anti-Saloon League, caused by the declination of Bishop Keane of the Catholic University, has just been filled by the election of Most Reverend John Treland, D. D., of St. Paul, Minn., familiarly krown throughout the temperance world as Archbishop Ireland. According to the action of the national ccnvention, in order to fill the vacancy, it was necessary that the executive committee should agree upon a nomination, which shculd then be submitted to the board of direction. As the members of both these bodies are scattered over the country, both of them were polled by mail from the office of the Secretary, Mr. Jas. L. Ewin of this city. The nomination of Archbis ire- land by the executive committee is mous. Returns from the board of direction are not all in yet, but a majority of the forty-eight votes having been cast for Arch- hishop Ireland, he was notified Saturday right of his election. His acceptance of the place had previously been obtained. As was to have been expected, he held the patter under consideration some time: but finally telegraphed to Mr. Ewin, “I, thank- fully accept the vice presidency the league.” His letter to Rev.
