It was not long before every child was seen with cake and candy in one hand and an orarge and a large sandwich in the other. Though the rosm was well filled with ex- cited children, whose merry chatter and hearty laughter filled the air, many par- ents and friends also found ample space, As the haads\of the clock moved toward the hour of one, the tables, one by one, were cleared of their wholesome contents. In fifty minutes nothing was to be had but crumbs and dishes. Such a complete clear- ing in so short a time was not looked for. Those who served at ths different tables Were as foliows: Beverages, Edith Brown, Hazel Witten and Marie Brown; cake table, Florence Crook, Adelaide Gleson, Antoin- ette Roth and Katie Phelps; sandwiches, Willie West, Fred. Godirey, Edward Ham- ilton and Edmond Wolfe; candy table, Ma- mie Hamilton, Maggie Larner and Rose MacNamara, and pasiry, Mary Owens and Katharine Brown; fruit, Stella Larner and Hattie Owens, and salad, Carrie Jullien &n@ Helen Brooks. The proceeds from the Ivncheon were $1. Such a success had rot Lecn expacted. The object of the lunch Was to completa the sum necessary to get a@ new flag for the bnildirg. Half the re- quired amount had already been donated. All of the money will not be needed for the flag, and th> surplus amount will be used to purchase books for the school library, for which a room in the new addition of the building has been reserved. The teach- ers, pupils and yareats deserve great credit for their earnest work. tev. Mr. Stars of Washington will fill the puipit at the Metho hurch tomorrow in the absence of Rev. W. H. Chapman, who is in Baltimore attending the confer- ence. Miss Emily Howlett of Eckington has now enti vovered from her recent ill- to be cut. ——— ‘TTSVILLE. Mr. Edmund P. Godman died suddenly of Gropay last evening at his residence in Bla- densburg. He was conversing with his brother and sister a few moments before Lis death. Mr. Godman was born in Vans- ville district, near the line of Montgomery county, May 24, 1825. He ran a stage coach between Bladensburg and Washington from June, 1854, to November, 1865. He was for many years a member of the board of town commissioners of Bladensburg, and held this position at the time of his death. He was noted for his quaint humor and genial disposition, and was familiarly known as “Unc! As a sportsman he had no equal in the county, and spent much of time during the hunting and fishing seasons at Hill's landing, near Up- per Marlboro’. The old stage coach which he drove is still in his stable in Blade Lurg, and was prized by him,as a reminde of his old days.

Feud Between Senate and Supreme Court Pages and Its Settlement. Just after Fitzsimmons hud put a quietus on Maher, there was an exciting little mill on “the terrace,” at the Senate wing of the Capitol building. It was on the order of a professional fight, with seconds, time- keepers, ete. For a long time there has been bitterness and rivalry between some of the Senate and Supreme Court pages. The origin was a trivial slight imposed by a Senate page upon one of the youngsters in the court. - Nothing else would do to wipe out the al- leged insult, but a fistic encounter, and all the preliminaries were quietly arranged, the prin DI zsimmons and Maher. ‘The champion selected by the Senate pages was the son of a Senator, while the Supreme Court boys picked out the son of 2 prominent man, and the namesake of a lamented statesma: a z While the affair was in progress a Capi- tol policeman was notified, and, hurrying to the place, arrived just about the time the court page was getting seriously hurt. He put a stop to the mill. The court page has not returned to his work, and is thought to be confined at home from his injuries. — Public Schools, In The Star’s Almanac for 1896, on page 7, will be found interesting information corcerning the public schools of the Dis- trict.

Bernhardt was seen at Al- len’s Grand Opera House last night, has been made familiar to Washington theater goers by the performances of Miss Fannie Davenport. The large audience that was Present last night therefore did not need to be confined so clesely to the libretto as on other evenings, and there was per- haps more constant attention to the work of the players. The character ef Gismonda was especiaily written by Sardou, the great- est French dramatist, for Bernhardt, the greatest French actress, and the part ad- mirably suits her methods and tempera- ment. In every act Mme. Bernhardt real- ized in speech and action the haughty Duchess of Athens, but the two scenes in which she achieved her greatest triumphs were that with Almerio in the third act and the killing of Zaccaria in the first. ‘The man who saved the life of her child avows his love for the woman, not for her wealth or rank or power, and demands the fulfillment of Gismonda's vow to marry him who should rescue her little son. The various phases of feeling of the wo- man who cannot but admire the bravery, the audacity, the heroism of the man whom she scorns and taunts, and to whom she finally yields, are splendidly depicted by Mme. Bernhardt, and perhaps it was this scene that impressed itself most forcibly on the audience, for-the applause which fol- lowed was enthusiastic to a high degree. In the following act the murder of Zacca- ria, who had traced Gismcrda to Almerto’s hut, was thrilling in its tragic intensity. Under the magnetic spell of Mme. Bern- hardt’s genius, it seems as if the last char- acter in which she is seen is better than any which have gone before, but even a calm review of her work during the week compels the belief that the roles in which her powers have hed greatest scope, and in which she will live longest in the memory of those fortunate cnough to have attended every performanc>, will be Gismonda, Ca- mille and Izeyl. Tonight Mme. Bernhardt will be seen in Racime's great tragedy, “Phedre. During Bernhardt’s recent engagement the incidental music was played by Mr. Angelo C. Froman on the celesta in “Izeyl” and the organ in “La Tosca” and “Gis- monda.” Mr. Froman is one of Washing- ton’s musicians, and is an excellent accom- panist. The Leslie Opera Company.—The coming week Manager Allen will present at. the Grand Opera House the Leslie Opera Com- Fany, from the Lyric Theeter, London, England, in Alired Collier's masterwork of comic opera, “Dorothy,” with an excep- tionally strong cast, including such prime favorites as Chas. Bavsett, tenor; David Torrance, baritone; Fred. rston, basso, and Chas. Coote, comedian. In the female roles Manager Leslie bas drifted away from the ordinary managers in the comic opera fieid, for instead of selecting some well-knov.n prima donna, he believes in new faces and fresh voices, and Juliette D’Er- vieux, who will be seen here in the role of Dorothy, is said to be a beautiful wo- man both in face and figure, and the pos- sessor of an exceptionally ‘fine high s0- prano voice. Miss Mabel Gardner, a bright society girl of Toranto, Canada, red a decided hit in the second roles, and Miss Laura Denlo of Brooklyn, an extremely pretty and petite young artiste, is winning the hearts of all who see her in the soubrette role of Phyllis. Another feature of this organization is the chorus, which has been selected with great care and are all picked voices. Incidental to the performance, the wonderful child dancer, Little Ruby, will appear in a num- ber of her own dance creation: The com- pany, on the whole, is considered one of the strongest comedy opera organizations that have been put together since the for- mation of the Bostonians. This party should prove a strong drawing card at Allen’s next week. Lafayetto Square Opera Hous night will be presented at the Square Opera House a new play. It is a ned comedy, written by Mr. Sydney feld, and called “A House of Cards.” The tile is derived from the struggles of a fashionable Newport family to ke ep up the ceremonies of the ult aristocratic in that place. The mother is fond, but fool- ish, and her society impulses drag the fam- ily into a network of debt. The hero of the a weli-bred young chap, without family prestige or resources, who is taken & member of the smart set for the double purpose of exploiting him in poli- tics and in his own select circle. The con- flict of ideas in these two schemes supplies a goodly ion of the comedy and life of the piec Mr. Frank Worthing, until late- ly leading man in Mr. Augustin Daly's stock company, will undertake this char- Miss Maxine Elliott, also until late- ly a member of Mr. Daly's company, will appear in the role of a younger sister, full of wholesome spirit and pride, without af- fectation, and possessed of a candor and sense of humor which is non-assertive and delightfully natural. There are fifteen char- acters inthe play, among which are a few eccentric ‘types, which keep up a rippling current to the finish of the story. Mr. Rosenfeld is said to have been at work on this piece for over two years. It is seldom that so many valuable names in a theater world are found together on the same pro- gram as are given in this list to interpret this new play. The following is the com- plete cast: Miss Maxine Elliott, Mr. Frank Worthing, Miss Henrietta Crossman, Mr. Edgar L. Davenport, Mrs. Thos. L. Barry, Mr. F. F. Mackay, Miss Kate Lester, Mr. Grant Stewart, Miss Kate Oesterle, Mr. Frazer Coulter, Miss Maud Monroe, Mr. C. F. Craig, Mr. Campbell Gollan, Miss Isabel Monday afayette Haskins, Mr. Ivar Selma and Mr. Cecil Magnus. New National Theater.—The attraction at the New National Theater next week will be “The Wizard of the Nile.” Academy of Music.—“The Great Diamond Robbery” will be seen at the Academy of Music next week. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Manager Ker- nan’s attraction for next week will be the famous Boston Howard Athenaeum Star Specialty Company. This organization is undoubtedly one of the most complete in existence. The bright particulaf feature of the program will be the appearance of Mile. Madeline Rosa, who comes direct from the Empire Theater, London, and who claims the distinction of being the only lady ventriloquist in the world. Other European features are the Levinos, in their original and unique entertainment entitled “Rival Arts; Kenno and Welch, the hot students, who will make their first appearance in this city. The American contingent in- cludes John E. Drew, the Celtic wit; Annie Hart, in her telling impersonation of the Bowery girl; Myer Cohen, California’s rep- resentative barytone, and Mulvey and In- man, in their delightful sketch, “After the Opera.” The performance concludes with the comedy boomers, Hughes, McBride and Walton, in their original comedy, ‘““The Ar- rival of McGuinnes."” There will be mati- nees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Tho Stoddard Lectures.—To that consid- erable part of the community to whom a Stoddard lecture is an indispensable fea- ture of the season’s entertainments _noth- ing will give more pleasure than the an- nouncement of the return of John L. Stod- dard to this city, to give his new lec- tures, replete with art work for illustra- tions and filled with)historic studies and fresh memoties cf charming scenes. One of the mest enjoyable of his lectures will be the rew souvenirs of his days in Naples and around ‘its splendid bay, where the tourist, visiting Pompell, lives with the Italians of nineteen hundred years ago. It should be a notable trip to descend the legend-laden, Danubet and reach the sul- tan’s capital, there té observe the unique ccnditiors of life in that famous city. An enthusiastic student of all that can be krown of the Caesar of the nineteenth cen- tury, Mr. Stoddard is qualified to give es- peciail pleasure through his new lecture on Napoleon, accompanied by the novel il- lvstrations which the lecturer forzunately secured last summer in Paris. And as he has rot ceased since his first lectures on India and Japan to receive requests for further scenes and experiences in those countries, derived from his tour of the world, Mr. Stoddard could hardly give greater satisfaction than by the announce- ment of further evenings in those lands. There is to be a new departure this year, in that the lectures will be given at Met- zerott Hall. And, as the difficulty of get- ting good seats for a Stoddard lecture has become proverbial, the management an- nounces that the five lectures will be given three times over, viz.: Course A on Mon- day and Thursday evenings, March 30, April 2, 6, 9, 13; course B on Tuesday and Friday evenings, March 31, April 8,.7, 10, 14; and course C on Wednesday and Sat- urday evenings, April 1, 4, 8 11, 15. The sale of tickets for all the courses will begin Thursday morning next at Metzerott's mu- sic store. Mr. Stoddard is now in the midet of his five weeks season at Daly’s Tueater, and is daily turning people away. Y. M. C. A. Talks.—A lecture on “The Effect of Christianity on Modern Civiliza- tion” was delivered at the Y. M. C. A. last evening by Dr. William T. Harris, com- missioner of education. The lecture was listened to by a large aud appreciative au- dience, Dr. Harris mde the prediction that the time wor come when all the nations of the earth would be practically united into one by means of Christianity. The People’s Course of Lectures.—One of the entertainments of the people's course will be given next Monday evening, when Mr, Murray will present his illustrated lecture on “Growth and Beauties of Archi- tecture.” Mr. Murrey has some lantern views illustrative of this subject which are very beautiful, and as he 1s thoroughly conversant with bis subject, an enjoyable evening is assured. ‘The Real Thomas Paine.—A lecture on “The Real Thomas Paine’ will be delivered in the parlors of the Riggs House Monday evening by Prof. R. Grant Barnwell, by invitation of the Continental Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. Miss Myrta French.—Miss Myrta French, the soprano soloist, with: Sousa’s Band this season, is an artist in her line. She pos- sesses a rich, full voice of remarkable Sweetness and power, cxpable also of the most delicate and exquisite shading. Her voice has been cultivated to perfection by the renowned Sbriglia. Miss French is a brunette of charming personality, which, with her easy grace and winning manners, make her perfectly at home on the stage. She throws her whole soul into her singing and captivates her audience by her mar- velous voice, and her thorough self-posses- sion and naturalness, being entirely lack- fag in little affectations so noticeable In many great singers. Columbia Musical Parlors.—The “Stand- ard Quartet” from the “South Before the War” Company were at the Columbia Pho- nograph Company's Musical Parlors, 919 Pennsylvania avenue, today, singing into the graphophones, to make records for ex- hibition in the parlors. The many persons present thoroughly enjoyed the singing. The majority of the records taken were plantation sengs, and ditties of the south- ern cotton fields. Monday the public will have an opportunity to hear them on the graphophones. Messrs, Cullen and Collins made a hit with their banjo duet, “The Darkies’ Jubilee.” It is very “catchy” and pleasing, and a great many visitors were delighted with it. The kinetoscopes show many new selections. ———— LIKE THE HOLLAND MILLS. Its Owner’s Quecr Notion About the Danger of Admitting Others. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Near the village of Minnesota Lake, sit- uated on the north shore of the lake, stands an old-time windmill, which resembles in all its phases the Dutch mills of Holland. It 1s owned by Gottlieb Shastag, an old German, and was built by him some forty years ago, and used as a grist mill. For the past fifteen or twenty years Shastag has allowed no one to enter the building, not even his wife or son. His reason for this is a strange one. It appears that, as the story is told by an old resident, some evil-disposed person “put the devil in the mill,” and for caused him a great deal of annoyanc ble and anguish of mind. After repeated efforts he finally succeed: in yetting the evil one out, and he knows this to be a fact, for he distinctly saw him going out in the form of a rabbit. As long 1s he al- lows no person to erter it will be impossi- ble for his satanic majesty te return and renew his direful work. He is perfeetly honest in his dealings, and a cut in the price of grist-grinding by a competitor wor- res him not, for, as he says, “God makes de wind blow, and when de wind blow I grinds,” and he has an advantage cver the ccmpetitor, as it costs him nothing for fuel. The building being octagonal, its dimen- sions are larger than one would think at a casual glance. It has a diameter of forty feet, tapering to about twenty-five at a height of forty. The main arms, of which there are four, each thirty-five feet in length, are of hewn oak, ten inches at the largest end and tapering to about six, and are firmly fastened to an axle on top of the mill, and to this main axle or shaft the Taachinery fs attached. It is necessary, as is the case with modern windmills, to Keep the fans facing that point from which the wind ts coming, and this mill is not so au- tomatic in its construction as modern ones are, As. the wind changes it has to be turn- ed by hand. This ts accomplished by a long sweep or pole, which is framed into the roof, extending to within a few feet of the ground, to the end of which a chain can be attached. The other end of the chain’ is attached to a capstan, and when the miller finds the mM out of wi he drags the capstan ahead a few feet, where it is caught by anchor posts set for that purpose, and with a lever draws the sweep arcund until the proper point is reachod. The arms, as they revolve to the highest point, reach a height of eighty teet, and although at a distance they seem to be moving very slowly, in fact they pass a given point at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour with a thirty-horse power. No cne knows how the machinery of the Inside {s ecnstructed, but it is supposed, like that of the exterior, to be a counterpart of the milly in Holland. When any part needs repair- ing Shastag, unaided and alone, makes the change. oo Northwestern Pythian Encampment. Supreme Chancellor Ritchie and General Carnahan have sanctioned the proposed Northwestern Knights of Pythias encamp- ment, to be held at Minneapolis next Au- gust.
