Effect of the Petitions te Congress— The Star Thanked for Its Vigorous Support. The second regular monthly meeting of the North Capitol and Eckington Citizens’ Association was held last night in the large store rooms of Mr. William Hefner, No. $ Lincoln avenue, which were tem- perarily fitted up for the occasion. The agsociation has experienced considerable Gifficulty in finding a suitable place to hold its meetings, owing to the lack of hall ac- commodationus in the section covered by {ts operations, and is still in search of permanent quarters. i Mr. Philip Happ, chairman of the com- mittee on membership, reported favorably a list of sixty names of gentlemen who had signified their desire to become members and take vart in the work of the associa- tion, all of whom were admitted to mem- bership. The strength of the association now numbers 113. Must Have Rapid Transit. The priacipal business of the evening was the reading of the report of the com- mitte2 on railways. Mr. “A. R. Serven, chairman of that committee, reported the introduction of the bill authorized by the association in both houses of Congress, to require the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company to adopt rapid transit on its lines and dispense with the use of horses, and that twenty-seven petitions, containing a total of 325 signatures, had been sent to the Senate, and a like number to the House of Representatives, urging the passage of that bill or some similar measure, and that a large number of pett- ticns were st'll in circulation, and would be forwarded to Congress as fast as they were filled in. It is expected that not less than 10,000 signatures will be secured to these petitions, so stroag Is the sentiment in favor of the measure. The fact was also referred to that the Commissioners had recommended to Con- gress favorable action on House bill 20, which is the bill prepared by the associa- = to require the adoption of rapid tran- sit. Petitions re containing S33 signatures of idents and property holders on Florida enue and adjacent thereto were yester- day handed Mr. Dunlop, president of the Capitol Traction Company, asking for the extension of the Street tracks of that company down to North Capitol street, and he assured the committee that it was the company’s intention to commence the work without unnecessary delay. In the absence of the chairman of the committee on lights, the president, Mr. Henderson, reported the efforts made by th corimittee to secure an item in the Opriation bill for the lighting of that ion, and stated that he thought pro- ion would be made in the regular appro- priation bill for that purpose, and that a Jsuificient portion of tie amount would be made available at once for lighting during the remainder of the fiscal year. The follow tienal committees were firmed, which complete ist ef standing committees: On city its, C. M. B. Browne, C. H. Ruoff, W. H. King, J. F. Beck and S. Ryder; on schoo!s and sche Biddis, E. B. Linton, Rober son and hou. s mel; on the press, 1 Kane, C. E. Kern, A. Field, W. H. Shir- f and Edmond Mallett. Thanks to The Star.

He therefore offered the following resolutions, ch were unanimously adopted: solved, That the thanks of the North tol and Eckington Citizens’ Associa- tion be, and extended to the press of Washington in grateful acknowl- ‘ut and appreciation of the support t has uniformly given the assoc more modern and service than that now yy the Eckington and Soldiers’ ny. Reselved, That this association Is especial- ly grateful to The Evening Star for the vigorous @ditorials in its nes of the Sth and 15th instants, recognizing the justice and sustaining the reasonableness of the fon's demands upon the Eckington 4 y Company in asking oniy for such immediate improvement in its service as is entirely within the power of sald company to grant, and that, too, with but ilttle. if any, material additional expense. The subjects of fire and nclice protection, telegraph poles and express charges were also discussed with a view to adopting meas- ures to secure better and cheaper service. —__ AMUSEMENTS, Lafayette Square Opera House—Mme. Duse was seen last night In a character that had nothing in ft to enlist the sym- pathy of the audience, but was, on the con- trary, reptlsive to all right-thinking men and women. And yet the actress, by the force of her genius, compelicd attention to her impersonation, and was followed with closest interest to the close of the play. “The Wife ef Claude” is by Dumas fils, and the heroine is a woman who fs bad by nature, who goes astray tn early life from her own inclinations, and then marries a good and upright man, an inventor, whom she deserts to fly with another whom she has brought into her toils, but deceives her husband upon the plea that she is going to see her aunt, who fs ill. This lover dies and-leaves her a large sum of money and the woman then returns to her hus band. She finds him about to mortgage his house, to get money to carry on his in- ventions, and she offers to give him the money, which she says was left her by the fictitious aunt on her death, but he re- fuses. The real estate man who has come to make the mortgage proves to be a se- eret service agent, employed to secure the secret of her husband's invention, and he knows all of the woman’s indiscretio: He proves obdurate to her wiles, ai makes her a flat offer of money to steal the secret. She first attempts to win back her husband's love, and, failing that, she vows revengo upon him and a young girl for whom he has conceived a platonic attach- ment. She finally makes violent love to her husband’s apprentice, and when she has captured him causes him to open the safe in which the manuscript describing the invention {s kept, seizes it, and just as she is about to throw it from the window to the secret service agent she is shot by her husband. With this story, it can be seen what a splendid opportunity Duse has for the depiction of the strongest and most various passions, and she throsvs herself into the part with all the earnestness and recklessness of consequences that charac- terize her acting. Her work was at times thrilling, and in one scene startling. She was repeatedly called before the curtain by an audience that was thoroughly appre- ciative, but not large. A farce, “Tragedy and Music,” which was very well done, preceded the play. “For Fair Virginia.”—“For Fatr Virginia” will be seen at the Lafayette Square Opera House rext week. The principals in this Interesting play are Mr. and Mrs. Russ Whytal, who have scored a distinct success wherever they have appeared. The play is cne that fs founded cn incidents during the war, but there is none of the realism that | is generally the feature of a war play. The work is full of good things in a literary and dramatic way and abounds in genuine heart interest and sympathy. The casfis fully competent to carry out the minor details, end, taken as a whole, the play ts. one that should attract large crowds to the new theater. The play has been put on In New York and other large cities, and has met with great success. As the scene of action is so near this city, it is but natural to sup- pose that Washingtonians will take an add- ed interest In ft. Allen's Grard Opera House.—“Little Christopher” will be seen at the Grand Opera House next week. The scenery is very elaborate, the girls are particularly pretty and very numerous, the costumes are gorgeous to a degree and the marches are pretty, and the business of the choruses during the singing of most of the numbers is original and effective. The cagt is excel- lent and the best ever seen in Piece in this country, Miss Theresa Vaughn singing the music of the title role as it never hes T. P. Kane said that fe | been done ‘Willie Collier, the versa- tio comedian Tek is artistic to his ities, Bertha Waring, dances and_specialt Yolande Wallace, Pauline Train and Henry Leoni contribute to the entertainment more or less pleasing features. The music, by Ivan Caryll and Gustave Kerker, is ex- quisite. The whole performance is ablaze with light and color, and wonderfully gor- geous and brilliant in its lavish stage dress. The Italian Opera Season—When the Grand Opera season opens at Allen’s Opera House Thursday,, March 5, for three nights and one matinee performances, it will be with the greatest singers in the world. Melba, Nordica, Saville, Mantelli, Scalchi, Lola Beeth, Traubmann and Calve among the prima donne, and among the men Jean de Reszke, Edovard de Reszke, Cremonint, Lubert, Russitano, Kaschmann, De Vries, Campanari, Ancona, Plancon and Victor Maurel will be heard. In the four operas to be given—‘Carmen,” “Romeo et Ju- llette.” “Aida” and “Falstaff’’—the four principal prima donne, Calve, Nordica, Saville and Melba, will be heard only once during the engagement. Calve will be heard for thé first and only time in ‘Car- men,” one of her greatest roles; Nordica’s only appearance will be as Aida; Madame Saville will be heard only as Mistress Ford in “Falstaff,” and Melba will only be lis- tened to as the fair Juliette of “Romeo et Juliette.” Jean de Reszke’s only appear- ance here will be as Romeo, a part of which he is particularly fond; M. Lubert, a fa- vorite from the Theater Comique, Paris, sings for the first and only time during the engagement Don Jose in “Carmen;’’ Rus- sitdno’s only appearance will be as Ra- dames in ‘da,’ and when Cremoniui {s heard it will be for the farewell perform- ance as Fenton in “Falstafi." Senor An- cona will not be heard after he has sung Escamillo in “Carmen” with Calve; Sig- nor Kaschmann’s only appearance will be as Amonasro in “Aida,” and Signor Cam- panari and Victor Maurel will be heard oniy as Ford and Falstaff ia “Falstaff,” the closing night of the season. Edouard De Reszke sings only once, and that as Frere Laurant, with Melba and Jean de Reszke, in “Romeo et Juliette.” M. Plan- con, however, will sing Capulet in the ideal cast of “Romeo et Juliette” Friday even- cng, as well as Ramfis the following after- noon in “Aida,” and Arimondi’s only ai pearance will be as Pistol in “Falstaff. Emma Calve, Sophie Traubmann, Clara Hunt, Lola Beeth, Mile. Kitzu and Frances Saville among the prima donne, and M. Lu- bert, M. De Vries, Guiseppe Kaschmann, eppe Cremorini, Sig. Arimondi and Edouard de Reszke have never been heard here. The company as a wholo is as com- plete in every regard as it 1s possible to make it. An effictent ballet, of which MII Maria Guirl is the premiere danseuse, Fart of the organization. The full chorus of the Metropolitan Opera House, made up of the regular Italian and the new Amer can chorus, is also one of its compo- nent parts, and the entire orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera House, un- der the direction of Slgnors Bevignani and Lepili, complete the ensemble. The sale of seats for the season will begin at the Grand Opera House Tue: day, February 25, and be continued until the evering of the following Friday, and the sale for single seats will begin at the same place Monday, March ¥, and continue daily until the close of the engagement.

The performance will conclude with Johnnie Ray's laughable comedy, en- titled Striking Resemblance,” in which that inimitable comedian will assume the principal role. Rohert Emmet.—The 118th anniversary of the birth of Robert Emmet will be cele- brated by the Geraldine Dramatic Ciub Wednesday evening, March 4, by the per- formance of the celebrated drama named for the Irish patriot at Allen's Grand Opera Hou us will be the third appearance Butler’s on the 34 of I: house, and h: at inciudes Messrs. M. Conk Dolan, J. s Malloran and Mrs. Mary Beadle Halloran and the entire ciub. Prominent speakers will make appropriate addresses, and e thing points to the occasion being grandest celebration of Emmet's anni- versary ever had in this city. A Psychological Enigma.—At Allen's Grand Opera House, tomorrow night, Dr. y, Mi: Loyd Cooke, who has been start!ing the world by his superhuman theories, li give one of those seances which has made him famou: feet and fioats in mid air, spirit hands and faces are plain! and recognized, spirit slate writ! the same as presented by Dr. Cooke before the greatest scientist that lives, “Prof. William Crookes.” Dr. Cooke is said to be the only person in the world who has the indorsement of members of the Royal Society of London, they having for three month= tested him in every conceiva- ble way ingenuity could suggest, and at the end of the investigation presented him with a letter to the effect that the manifestations given in their presenc? were beyond human aid. Boston Symphony Orchest ‘The fourth cencert of the Boston Symphony series will be given in Washington next Tuesday even: ing at Metzerott Music Hall. The first nam- ber on the program and the feature of the evening wili be Beethoven's Symphony, No. 6, in F’ major, It has five movements, and was written from inspirations received by the composer irom summer walks through the meadows of Heiligenstadt near Vien- na. It is a pastoral of the most pleasing type. The other numbers are a recitativi and arla—“Ocean, by Weber; Strauss’ “Till Eulenspiegels Lu: tge Streiche;” Weber's ‘Wie Nahte Mir der Schlummer,” from “Der Freischuetz,” and Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 2. The soloist of the evening ts Fri. Milka Ter- 1ina. With such a program and with such an orchestra to render it, Metzerott Hall should be crowded next Tuesday evening to its doors by the lovers of good music. “Ben Hur.”—-The popular lecture, “Ben Hur,” will be given for tho sixth time at Metzerott Music Hall next Thursday even- ing. This lecture has been, perhaps, the most popular of the season, and has at- tracted immense crowds whenever it has been given. New musical effects are to be given, and additional views have Leen added to the stereopticon part of the spectacle. The recital of the story ts by Dr. Rogers, and is given in simple words that are al. most as thrilling as the original words of the writer of the famous book. The incl- dental music will be rendered by Miss Whiting and the Temple Quartet. The Ice Palace.—The game of hockey at the Convention Hall Ice Palace tonight promises to be a highly exciting contest. The teams are the Columbia Athletic Ciub of this city and the Maryland College. Quite a good bit of curiosity has been developed as to the strength of the C. A. C. team, and it is likely that a large crowd will be on hand to see it tackle the Maryland boys. Both teams are about evenly matched, and a close, hard-fought contest 1s expected by the friends of both sides. The game will be called at 8 o'clock, when the smocth ice gives the players all the advantage possible. There will be a race for the championship of the District at the rink next Thursday evening, in which the principal starters will be Saunders, the present holder of the title; Stites, who came out third in the race with Donceghue last Saturday night, and Ingelfritz. The race is to be for a silver cup presented by the management of the rink, and as soon as one of the men has won it for three successive years he may retain it ag his property. The cup may be raced for at any time during the season, and the one who defends it through the entire season will surely be entitled to the title of cham- pion for that year at least. Although the raco is open to all comers from the Dis- trict, t will probably lie between these three, end as it is a scratch race, of course there will be no question as to the merit of the winner. The distance will be two and one- half miles. Columbia Musical Parlors.—One of the most popular comic singers of the day, Mr. Dan Quinn, has been making records on the graphophones at the Columbia Phonograph Company, 919 Pennsylvania avenue, all this week. His voice is especially adapted for is to charm record-making-on the graphophones, being strong and sweet.

F., Drum Cops will open their fair and bazaar on Monday.sevening in Odd Fel- lows’ Hall, 8th street ‘southeast, and will continue for two weeksi The fair is for the purpo# of obtaining new uniforms. People’s Course of Lectures.—‘Killarney to Dublin” is the titleof ihe lecture to be given next Monday night by the Rev. A. G. Rogers at Universalist Church, the fifth en- tertainment of the “People’s Course.” It is hardly necessary to enlarge here upon Dr. Rogers’ success upon the lecture platform, as his splendid presence and fine voice are famillar to most of the Washington lecture goers. When it is satd that the route over Which he will conduct his audience at this lecture is virtually the paths of his own childhood, “it brings great promise of a most enjoyable evening with this most popular lecturer. A Martha Washington Tea.—A Martha Washington tea was given last evening at the Trinity M. FE. Church for the benefit of the help and mercy department of the-Ep- worth League of that church. The tea was preceded by an entertainment, and 2 large number of the members of the league and their friends were present. . Those who par- ticipated in the features of the evening were Messrs.

Fitzsimmons Signs with Pat Rellly.—Pat Reilly has, just signed Champion Bob Fitz- simmons for the balance of the season. ener charat [om will join the show in New ‘ork. Tke Bischoff Concert.—The third concert of the fifteenth season by the pupils of Dr. J. W. Bischoff was given last evening in Congregational Church before an ap- preciative audience, and was fully up to the we'l-known standard of the Bischoff entertainments. Judging from the ap- Plavse, the features of the program were the solos of Mrs, Thomas C. Noyes and Mr. J. R. Shields, and the singing of Mra. Sherman Hight, assisted by the Congrega- tional Church choir, while the opening number, ‘aust Fantasie,” played on the organ by Dr. Bischoff should not be over- looked. Owing to the h th of the pro- gram response to encores Was not in or- cer, but the audience was emphatic in de- manding more from Mrs. Noyes and Mr. Shiclds. By request Mrs. Noyes sang Tos: t's “Good-bye, and followed it anet’s Choice,” receiving the most en phatie encore of the evening. Mr. Shield: umber was Matti’s ‘Non E Ver.” Rossini's nflammatus” was the selection of Mr: Hight end the choir, and it was a fitting close to an unusually enjoyable program. ‘the other numbcrs, all artistically ex: ted, were: “Queen of the Night,” M Wea Goleman; “It Not So to Be,” Mi Isobel Du Boi: ) No M r Congresai Nelly jable,”” 2 fourth con- om wil be held March Lecture.—Miss Janet Eliza- beth Rc vill deliver an illust a lecture 0 Modern and Historie,” at the Church of Our Father, corner 13th’ and Rich i, sur next Tuesday evening. | Miss tichards not only describes Paris in her nal happy manenr, but interes r ingly story of the history of Frances lve of the capital of the cou: he pictures which are to be used from photo- ‘on, weaves tt aphs under Miss Richa nd embrace, besides the scenes of modern ! and historical Paris, the portraits of the famous men and women 0 figured French history.
