SIEGERT’S ANGOSTURA BITTERS ARE THE best remedy for removing indigestion and all dis- eases of the digestive organs, AMUSEMENTS. German Dramatic Club.—Once every sea- son the German Dramatic Club gives a bene- fit performance, to which admission is All other entertainments given by the club during the year are complimentary, but no greater crowd ever assembled in Wil- lard Hall than that which gathered there last evening at the benefit performance of the club for this season. The play presented was a five-act comedy from the pen of E. Henle, entitled “Through the Green Room,” and the different parts were taken with the skill and knowledge of professionals. Mr. E. H. Bolter as Freiherr vor Kuhn, Mrs. E. Watkins 29s his wife, Miss Clara Ulke as Marie, MiSs Anita Schade as Hedwig, Mr. Fred Altrup as Hans Waldau, Mr. Theo. Friebus, jr., as Baron Rotteck, Mr. D. Heidemann as Herr von Goeben, Mr. Her- man Schade as Baron von Leonroth, Mr. William Conley as Strohberger, and Miss Elsa Ulke as Josephine, comprised the cast. | Miss Anita Schade, as usual, carried off the honors of the evening, while the work of Mrs. Watkins, Miss Clara Ulke, Mr. Friebus, Mr. Schade and Mr. Conley was also above the average. The orchestra from the Car- roll Institute, under the direction of Mr. Ben. Judson, furnished the music between the acts. Robert Downing’s Anniversary.—One of Washington's sons who has become a star on the stage will celebrate his twentieth year In the profession next month. There have been a great many dramatic stars who have come from the capital of the nation, but there have been but few who have risen to the height to which Mr. Robert Downing has attained. It has been suggested that a testimonial be given him of the apprecia- tion of his friends in this city, but the mat- ter has not yet been definitely decided. An Afternoon With Poe.—A dramatic reading was given last evening at Carroll Institute Hall by Miss Franklyn Lynch, her subject being “An Afternoon With Poe.” The hall was filled with the friends of the reader, and she Was given all the encourage- ment possible in the shape of hearty ap- plause. The object of the entertainment, it is stated, was to acquaint the public with the entertainment to be given at Allen’s Grand Opera House April 25, for the benefit of the Sisters of Mercy, and in which Miss Lynch is to take a leading part. Miss Lynch was assisted last evening by Prof. Angelo C. Fronani and Miss May Eichelberger. Miss Lynch read a number of selections from Poe's werks, and satisfied her friends of her ability as a public reader. A Woman of War.—The play to come to Allen's Grand Opera House next week, en- titled “A Woman of War,” is from the pen of Gen. Felix Agnus. The action of the pley opens in a wood near Port Hudson, which the federal forces are besieging. Near by js the Bartheley plantation, on which resides a southern matron and her two daughters. The eldest—Alice—is en- gaged to Capt. Ralph Latimer of Port Hud- son, whose military training at West Point makes him a specially valuable prize for the federals, who have been ordered to use every means for his capture. The attacks upon Fort Hudson have hitherto always been unsuccessful, as a mysterious agency outside, which the federals are unable to trace to its source, is supplying the he- sieged with accurate information of all the eremy’s plans and movements. Latimer is in the habit of making stolen visits from the fort to his sweetheart, though she begs him to avoid the risk. At the opening of the play they are strolling in the woods, when they are captured by a squad of Duryee Zouaves under Major Duval and Capt. Hall. Uncle Ben,, a faithful old servitor, has been previously captured, and LGuval, suspecting the identity of Latimer, but anxious to make sure of it, tries to ter- rify the old negro into identifying him. Latimer at this surrenders, and is led off to headquarters under guard, while Alice, despite her violence and refusals of favor, is taken home with ar escort. On the way to headquarters Latimer es- cepes. Finding himself in danger of re- capture, he seeks the Bartheley plantation, where he is welcomed with joy, soon turned to consternation at the announcement of the visit of Hall and Duval to the ladies. It being too late to escape, the women take advantage of the delay of Duval in enter- ing to pass eff Latimer upon Hall as a war correspondent. Hall is suspicious, and while apparently receiving the explanation, contrives that he shall prevent Latimer from leaving the house. The rest of the act is devoted to the efforts of the women to prevent the recapiure of Latimer. A carrier dove, trained by Alice and Latimer to carry on their communications, flies into the room, is captured by Hall, and such in- criminating dispatches to Alice found upon it that she is arrested as the mysterious spy. A court-martial is convened to try the prisoner. This scene seems to be just a lit- ue slow.Duval, who has fallen in love with the prisoner, volunteers to defend her, and makes an eloquent and beautiful plea in her behalf. The prisoner declines at first to accept Duval as her attorney, but finally yields. When, however, she finds him tak- ing advantages of technicalities and senti- nent in her behalf, she revolts, asserts her pride in the fact that she gave the confed- erates in the fort information, and taunts the court with the success of her efforts. Her spirited recital leaves the court no al- ternative, and she is found guilty of being a spy and is sentenced to be shot the next morning in the presence of the troops. The parting scene between Alice and her mother is a painful one, and is too long drawn out. It should by all means be shortened by at least one-half. During the night a storm arises, in which Latimer seeks the camp in a wild hope of saving her or of dying with her. He meets Duval,who has assumed guard duty secret- ly to perfect a scheme he has for her flight, and the two men have a struggle before Latimer is convinced of Duval’s sincerity. The troops are drawn up, and all the mournful ceremony of a military execution is ready. The officer of the day reads the sentence. Alice is placed in position before the firing party, and at the last moment as their guns are leveled at her breast, a pardon comes, and she is restored to her lover. She recognizes the honorable and devoted love of Duval, and proves her gratitude by kissing the stars and stripes “for his sake,” and the curtain goes down with Duval upon the stage alone, his face buried in the flag that she has kissed. Watterson on Lincoln.—Next Sunday night Mr. Henry Watterson will deliver his celebrate@ lecture on Abraham Lin- ecln, which has inet with great success in every city in which it has been heard. The Minneapolis T:mes thus speaks of its effect in that city: “Last night was a mem- erable occasion in Minneapolis. At the Lyceum Theeter a large audience as- sembled to listen to a great citizen of the republic, pcrhaps the greatest citizen of the republic, a man who has exerted a mighty infivence upon his generation, al- though never attaining to any public honor higher than that of a great citizen. Henry Watterson, the gifted Kentuckian, a son of the south, stood up in the simplicity and grandeur of his citizenship and paid his tribute to the greatest citizen, the greatest man, that ever breathed a benediction on mankind. Watterson’s lecture on Lincoln was the quiet, scholarly, analytic and anec- dotal presentation of a theme that fur- nishes a wealth of material for the philoso- pher and sage to touch with the beauti- fying hand of genius and make it glorious to mankind. He spoke in a simple, conver- sational manner, wholly unostentatious, plain and quiet, and as unaffected as the great man that inspired and thrilled his heart. For two hours he held the audience completely in his power, for he spoke as one who, from a perfect understanding, frcm a wealth of knowledge and insight, lovingly interprets the genius, the glory and the immortal splendor of character and achievement of a heroic soul. He be- gan in the most quiet way imaginable, and gradually, under the thrill of his theme, he acquired an eloquence that, if it was not satisfying. It was a great man, a represen- tative man and a southern man as well, weaving a tribute of sublime beauty for a man that he had known and loved in life. Watterson’s lecture will long be remem- bered as an inspiring scene, as a gracious blessing, as a superb effort.” A Skatirg Carnival—The arrangements have been about completed for the skating carnival, to be given at the Convention Hall Ice Palace April Sth, for the benefit of the Home for Incurables. Prizes will be awarded from $5 to $50, for all classes of costumes and skaters, and there is every evidence of a ‘most successful affair. As the carnival is for charity, there is no doubt that it will be well attended. Miss Loie Fuller at Metzerott’s.—Wash- ingtonians are to have two opportunities tcmorrow to see Miss Loje Fuller dance. ‘These two performances will be given with absolutely the same completeness and elab- oration #s in New York. Her brother, Bert Fuller, who is her chief electrician, was here Icst week making all the elabo- rate arrangements that are necessary. Miss Fuller will be assisted by the follow- ing company: Anita La Blanche, Mr. Willig P. Sweatnam, Miss Jessie B. Millar, Signor Tagliapietra and Miss Fannie Went- ‘worth. THE ONLY CURE For the Tobacco Habit Is Baco-Curo. “Don't Stop Tobacco Suddenly. Baco-Ouro Will Notify You When to Stop.” These Are the Words of a Cure, Not a Substitute, Baco-Curo is recornized by the medical profession #8 the only scientific, vegetable and harmless cure.
