AMUSEMENTS. ‘The Elks’ Benefit—The annual entertain. ments given by the Elks in Washington are always enjoyable affairs, and the one given last evening at the National Theater was no exception to the rule, except that it Was even better than ordinary. The pro- gram rendered was an exceedingly long one, but the numbers were of such an excellent character and rendered in such a way as to take away all the tiresome features usu- ally accompanying a long concert. The en- cores accorded the performers stretched the entertainment to a very late hour, but the large audience remained enthusiastic to the last and demanded more. Esputa’s or- chestra opened the concert with an over- ture march by Campagna, and this was fol- lowed by Mr. E. B. Hay, who gave an elo- quent and interesting address.

Turpin, Ryan, Reeside and McFarlard,*and the Elite Quartet, compris- ing Misses Whitesell and Eichhorn, and Messrs.

Minster, was one of the features of the evening. Mr. T. E. McNulty of Baitimore gave a tenor solo, “When the Tide Comes In;” Miss Anita Chss gave selections on the harp in her usval artistic manner, and Prof. William Waldecker scored another hit by his fine work on the piano.

It was an unusually interesting and important meeting, for, in addition to the annual election of officers, the matter of the erection of a new temple commensurate with the wealth and dignity of the con- gregation came up for consideration. A great deal of gratification was felt and expressed over the announcement that the big bazaar held at the Washington Light Infantry Armory some weeks ago for the benefit of the building fund resulted in the raising of a much larger sum than the most san@uine had hoped for. So well had the officers of the congre- gation performed their duties during the past year that the annual election was largely a matter of form, for the old board were re-elected without exception. The of- ficers so honored were: President, H. King, ir.; vice president, M. Goldsmith; treas- urer, David Strauss; recording secretary, A. Adler; financial secretary, S. M. Meyer; board of directors, the officers ex-officio and J, Sondheimer, B. Solomon, M. Loeb and P. Peyser. The most Important business of the meet- ing, oside from the election, was the con- sideration of the report of the building committee. The members of the commit- tee are Messrs. H. King, jr., chairman; 8. Bieber, Simon Wolf, R. Goldsmith, I. Saks, Chas. Baum, L.’Luchs, W. Hahn, M. Goldsmith, Rev. Mr. Stern, M. Behrend and M. Loeb. The report of the committee showed that the sum of $15,000 had been added to the building fund as the net pro- ceed of the bazaar or Egyptian village. It was decided to go ahead with the plans for the new temple, and the committee was instructed to inspect several sites and to report their recommendations at a spe- clal meeting of the congregation, to be held early next month. It was evident that a large number of the congregation favor the present site, and would rather go ahead by tearing down the present struct- ure and erecting a new one in its place. This will be taken into consideration by the committee, which, however, is vested with considerable discretionary power. Referring to the erection of the temple, in the report of the committee, Mr. H. King, jr. the chairman, said: “We are now confronted with our most difficult task—the object which has elicited our best work in the past, and will, 1 trust, continue in the future, until accomplished, ramely, the erection of the new temple. No skrinking from our sacred duty now. Begin, we must; begin, we shall. We will not allow obstacles to impede our course; our duty is plain and we must perform it. The building of a new temple must become a reality. Let us unite and sink all dif- ferences in the one common, holy object— the rearing of a magnificent and glorious ‘house’ of worship. Remember there should be no retrogression, and thoughts of failure should dwindle away into insignifi- cance before our bright aspirations for suc- cess. Give us your kind assistance and co- operation in this, our noble mission, the sacred duty imposed on us, and nothing shall prevent the consummation of our most cherished and needed object.” ee DEATH OF MILLS DEAN. Prominent Member -of Local Bar is No More. Mills Dean, a prominent member of the local bar and an advanced member of the Masonic order, died at his resi- dence, 618 Massachusetts avenue, yester- day of heart failure. Several months ago Mr. Dean suffered a stroke of paralysis, and since that time had lingered in a prac- tically helpless condition. Last Tuesday, however, he suffered a relapse, when all hcpe of recovery was lost. His funeral will take place tomorrow, the interment to be at Oak Hill cemetery. Mr. Dean was born at Spartanburg, 8. C., and last Friday reached his fiftieth birthday. He wes the son of Hosea Jefferson Dean, vice chancellor of the state, ‘and at one time clerk of the legislature. His grandfather was Edward Owen, well known here, whose son, Samuel Owen, was the proprietor of the Owen House. Mr. Dean entered the confederate army at the age of fifteen, and after the war graduated from Wofford College, Spartanburg, and then went to Philadelphia, where he studied law, being admitted to the bar there. He came to this city in 1871, marrying here the following year. In 1875 he formed a part- nership with John W. Ross, now president of the board of District Commissioners, and they practiced law together until 1883, when Mr. Ross entered public life. In 1886 Mr. Dean formed a legal partnership with Mr. H. E. Hindmarsh, and that partner- ship continued until Mr. Dean’s death dis- solved it. Mr. Dean was very successful in the prac- tice of law, and the two firms with which he was connected were engaged in many important cases. He was a prominent member of the District Bar Association, of the Confederate Veterans’ Association, the Sons of the Revolution, of the Columbia Athletic Club, and one of the trustees of the girls’ reform school, acting as the sec- retary of that institution, the formation of which he was largely’ instrumental in securing. He was a very popular man, of kigh intergrity, and very successful in his profession. He leaves a widow and four children, two boys and two girls, the young- est being thirteen years of age. A meeting of the members of the District bar has been called to take action upon the death of Mr. Dean. The meeting will be held at the city hall tomorrow afternoon at o'clock. ————__ “1235" Cigar is everybody's favorite! 5c. Advertisement. ———.—__. Committed Suicide. J. H.

Rodier, and he stated that all the other committees authorized under the constitu- tion and by-laws would be.appointed at the next meeting of the unioi, when it is expected there will be a largely increased representation. A special committee of five was appoint- ed under the resolution adopted at the last meeting, which will visit all labor organiza- tions in the District and solicit their affilia- tion and co-operation. A committee was appointed, whose duty it will be to organize unions from the un- organized, under charter of the A. F. of L. The chair stated that after the next mect- ing the union will be on a solid business basis, and many important matters will be considered. He also announced that Vice President Duncan of the American Federa- tion of Labor will be present at the next meeting, which will take place Monday next, and that a conference will be held, the local labor situation considered and a plan of proceedings determined upon. Resolutions were adopted requiring cer- tain qualifications of newly formed organi- zations desiring to join the union, which will largely obviate strikes and boycotts, and ally to the central body none but bona fide organizations. ——— INTERESTING WORK.

The cable cars yesterday ran over the new section, and all day and last night the work of fill- ing in the excavation around both conduits with broken rock and cement was rapidly pushed. Large crowds watched the pro- ceedings with much interest. ee oe MORNING STAR RISES AGAIN. An Old Good Templar Lodge Reor- + ganized.
