AMUSEMENTS. ————— Allen's Grand Opera House.—Last night was the first disappointment that the Hin- richs Opera Company has given the public, but it was unavoidable. Sig. Brizio Pirota, who was to have sung Arnold in Rossini's “William Tell," was unexpectedly taken iI, and, as there was no one else in the com- pany who could sing the part, “Faust” was the opera substituted. The excellent man- ner in which this opera was given Tuesday bt has already been commented upon, and it was presented equally well last night. There was only one change in the cast, Louise Miss Minnie Tracey. Trovatore” will be giv atali singing Marguerite instead of Tonight Verdi's “Il alleria Rustican: unday Concert at Allen’s—A popular anday concert will be given at Ailen’s Grand Opera House tomorrow night by the and orchestra of Mr. Hinrichs’ grand opera organization.

Seats can now be secured at the box office, which be open after 12 o'clock tomorrow. afaystte Square Opera House.—An at- ion of excepticnai interest will be at aatayette Square Opera House next Week, beginning Monday night, when Ca- mille D'Arville and her comic opera com- pany will present Strange and, Edwards’ creation, “Madeline; or, The Magic Kiss,” Jules Gogny, which was seen here before, and proved to be one of the prettiest and brightest comic operas that had been produced for years. It will be put on here with all of the mag- nific ent scenery that enhanced its success ew York city, where it remained for ty weeks, and a particular: feature will be that entirely new costumes will be used here. Miss D'Arville is a prima don- na of many excellent qualities, and has combined in her art acting as well as sing- She is also gifted with a personal tism that is charming, and her in- terpretation of Madeline is fulk of coloring and character. She has surrounded her- self with a company of unusual excellence, and has given them all possible scope for the display of their talents. In the en- mble are Frank David, Horace W. Ra- enscroft, W. G. Stewart, Frank Turner, Henry Stanley, Hilda Hollins, Maud Hol- lins, Alice Gaillard and others. There will be ‘a souvenir matinee Saturday, when every lady will be presented with a beautl- ful memento. King Henry IV.—Last night Mr. and Mrs. Taber gave an excellent presentation of Shakespeare's ““King Henry IV,”" with Mrs, Taler as Prince Hal, and her husband as The hit Of the performance was miale by Mr, Owen, whose Falstaff was an unctuous and artistic performance. The piece was splendidly staged. The Goverror of Kentucky.—Mr. Wm. I. Cra Nat be the attraction at the New nal Theater next week in “The Gov- Academy of Music—“The Land of the! Liv will hold ihe boards at the Acad- emy of Music next week. Lyceum Theater.—The attrac- the Lyceum next week will be idan’s Big Sensation Double Skew, comprising twenty white and fifteen creole artists, giving two distinct shows, and introducing a number of white and Afro-American performers. Among the names on the roster are Mlle. Zittella, the queen of burlesque; Julietta Nelson, in her Marvelous performance on the high wire, by Hi Tom Ward, the ecceentric ian comedian of minstrel fame; Flatow, in his own peculiar enter- tainment, Snyder and Buckley, the trick 1 artists; Misses Dunn and Mack, the leaders of fashion; Omega and Gordon, the sensational acrobatic dancers; Billy Farrell, assisted by Miss Willie Farrell, in their own original conception, “The Cake- walker’s Drea Eaton and Weathers, Afro-American comedians and dancers, and others. Two bright and sparkling burlet- tas will be presented with special scenery and gorgeous costumes. The Stoddird Lectures._Next week Mr. Stoddard will lecture on “Japan.” There ig no more charming country which the tourist can visit than this. Its hospitable people give the traveler such a welcome that he is prepossessed in favor of the country at the start, and the favorable im- pressions created at the outset are never dispelled. Then the bewildering but de- lightful nevelties of his experiences there make a perpetual satisfaction, and as the photograph artists of Japan are beyond all rivairy, it follows that Mr. Stoddard’s illus- trations are the best he bas ever possessed. ‘The lecture on “Japan” will be given on Monday and Tuesday evenings and at Mr. Stoddard’s final appearance on Wednesday evering. Paderewrki’s Concert.—There is no doubt that Mr. Paderewski will exert a great- er power than any artist that has ever vis- ited this city. It is not mere technical ac- complishment which his listeners seek and find, though this important feature is pres- ent in excess, as is every other needful compcrent of the art of piano playing. Seats are now on sale for his forthcoming engagement at the Metzerott Music Hall, which will be his last appearance in this city, and can be secured at the Metzerott music store, 1110 F street aorthwest. Moody Choir Concert.—The concert to-be given by the Moody Choir next Wednes- day, April 15, in the Central Hall, over the Center Market, is attracting a great deal of attention. The chorus is composed of about five hundred well-trained voices, making a splendid collection of vocal genius. The chorus Sig = a oe by two plaros, organ and orches' and the eozcert will be under. the direction of Mr. tion at Fiynn and She: | Percy S. Foster, who is well known on ac- count of his identification with church music work. Mr. F. H. Jacobs, the bari- tone, who was with Mr. Moody in Chi- cago, will be the soloist of the evening, while several works of real value will be tendered Ly the choir. Seats are now on sale at Sanders & Stayman’s, 934 F street. University Extension Lectures.—The first lecture in the university extension course will be delivered at Metzerott’s Music Hall Tuesday afternoon next, April 14, at 4:15 o'clock, the subject being the introductory {talk on “Florence, From Dante to Michael Angelo,” by Rev. W. Hudson Shaw, M. A., fellow cf Balliol College, Oxford, and one of the most popular university ‘extension lecturers before the public. Certain friends of the University Society of this city are Interested in the maintenance of religious services in the American and Latin quar- ters in Paris among. the students of those | sections, and it hes been decided that all the proceeds of these lectures over and above the expense shall be used for this purpose. The course is under the patron- age of some of the most prominent ladies in the city. Ben Hur.—Ben Hur” will be again re- peated st the Church of Our Father Wed- nesday evering, April 15, under the aus- pices of the W. C. T. U.. Tha. recital. will be by Dr. Rogers, the originator of the lecture, and new views: and music’ will be used in the presentation. Reserved seats are now on sale at Metzerott's. Last Night of the Ice Palace.—Tonight will be the last evening of the season at the Convention Hall Ice Palace, and it will close the most successful season that any place of amusement in this clty has ever seen. Tt will be closed in a blaze of glory, as the carnival of last Wednesday evening [s to be repeated, and the management of the ice palace is determined to leave as good an impression as possible in the minds of the people regarding the new amusement institution in this city. All the arrange- rrents which were in evidence at the big affair Wednesday evening will be in evi- dence tonight, and the=prizes which will be given for the costumes will be cash prizes of considerable value. Last evening at the rink Joe Donoghue lowered the world’s record for one and one-half miles, making the distance in the fimé of 4:01. ‘This after- noon he essayed to lower the record for three-quarters of a mile, and this evening, at 8 o'clock, before any one is allowed to mar the surface of the ice, will try for the world’s record at two miles. Later in the evening he will also go into.a-race with the fast men of the District,.giving large handi- caps to all those who enter. A most ex- citing race is looked for, and there is every indication that the two, records which he will go against will suffer in consequence. Company A's Entertainment.—An excep- tionaily fine program of music will be pre- serted at the Rifles’ Hall next Wednesday evening, the occasion being the concert and entertainment given jointly by com- pany A of the sixth battalion, under Cap~ tain Simonson, and the Second Regiment Band. Fraulein Koehle and Miss McRey- nolds will play the “Allegro,” from Op. 8, Grieg, duo for violin and piano. Liszt's “Rhapsodie No. 12” has been selected by Miss Grace Hamilton Jones as her solo upon the piano. The Apollo Quartet, Messrs. Farland, Turpin, Reeside and Ryan, will heard in “Ben Bolt” and “Schneider's Band;” there will also be solos by Mrs. Kittie Thompson Berry, Miss Katie V. Wilson, Dr. F. J. Woodman and Mr. Geo. O'Connor, and recitations by Mr. E. Bi. Hay ard’ D. C. Bargs. The Second Regi- ment Band will contribute several num- bers, including the popular “King Cotton,” by Sousa, and a new march, entitled “The Riflema: composed by Lieut. MacLeod, and dedicated to the second regiment, D. C. N. G. The program will be followed by a full dress military reception and dancing, and supper will be served in the lower hall. The string orchestra of the band will furnish the dancing music. All military guests, of whom there is a large number expected from the various military organi- zations, are invited to appear in uniform. Musical and Dramatic Entertainment.— There will be a musical and dramatic en- tertainment at Masonic Temple next Tues- day evening by Mr. T. Willlams-Pearman, the English tenor, and Miss Jean Wilson, dramatic reader, assisted by Mr. G. Frank Gebest, pianist. Mr. Pearman is well known here as the precentor of the Church of the Covenant end a singer of fine ability, and Miss Wilson, who formerly lived here, has made quite a reputation elsewhere. She will present a monologue, “Sandy Hook,” describing an International yacht race. Mr. Pearman will be heard in a number of songs, and Mr. Gebest in two solos. Mrs. Kidwell-Stewart’s Musicale—A mu- sicale was given at the E Street Baptist Church last night for the benefit of the building fund of the new church. The en- tertainment was given under the auspices of Mrs. J. E. Minor, chairman of the build- ing fund committee, by Mrs. C. V. Kidwell- Stewart and pupils of the Washington Semirary. A large audience was present and the well-selected program was ren- dered throughout in an excellent manner. No ercores were allowed, on account of the length of the program, but the applause was hearty and frequent. Those who took part were Miss Letitia Elliott, Miss Grace Altschu, Miss Elizabeth |Burbridge, ,Mr. Frederick J. White, Miss Florence R. Keene, Miss Margaret E. Pentland, Miss Charlotte Andrus, Miss Louise Kemon,Miss Josephine C. Douglas, Mrs. C. G. Heitinger, Miss Lyman and Miss Campbell, and a quartet consisting of Misses Wade, Bur- bridge, Tallmadge ard Elliott. The accom- panists of the evening were Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. S. D. Drown. “Excelsior, Jr.”"—Rice’s Burlesque Com- pany, with all the original cast, will ap- pear in the brilliantly clever and sparkling burlesque, “Excelsicr, Jr.,” at the Lafay- ette Square Theater, for one week, com- mencing April 20, with matinees Wednes- day and Saturday. Miss Fay Templeton will be seen here in the burlesque, and will sing among other songs “I Want Yer, Ma Honey.” All the elaborate scenery will be presented during the production of “Excel- sior, Jr.,” at the Lafayette. ——>+__ He Throws Himself Away. ‘From the Atchison Daily Globe.

WORK AND DUTIES OF COMMITTEES Scheme of Decoration for Ex- terior and Interior Effects. USHERS IN UNIFORM the main features of provisional pro- gram, recently pub- lished in The Star, it was stated that al- ready 300 meetings of all kinds have been arranged for during the great July gath- ering here of Chris- tian Endeavorers from all over the globe. When the de- : tails are all com- pleted it is possible that the number of ser- vices may be considerably larger; certain it Is the number will not be less than at present contemplated. To provide suitable meeting places where the thousands of dele- gates to the convention may attend these many services is the care of a subdivision of local workers—the hall committee— whese chairman, W. A. H. Church, is a member of that band of twelve who have charge of all the arrangements for the con- vention, the committee of 96. Beside the chairman, the other members of this committee are Geo. E. Barber, sec- retary, Ryland M. E. Church; E. T. Fen- wick, E Street Baptist Church; B. Frank Meyers,St. Paul's English Lutheran Church; Arthur Copeland, Calvary Baptist Church; W. J. Palmer, Trinity M. E. Church; Louis N A SUMMARY OF I: W. A. H. Church. D. Bliss, Calvary Baptist Church; Fred W. Bucchus, First Congregational Church, and C. B. Ball of the same church. Mr. Church, the chairman, Is a well- known business man of this city and is identified with several of the financial in- terests of the community. Since his early boyhood his church home has been at the Westminster Presbyterian Church. He has filled many offices in various organizations in this church, and is now president of its Christian Endeavor Society. He brings to his position as chairman of one of the im- portant "96 committees the earnest en- thusiasm of an active Endeayorer, as well as a practical business knowledge. Considerable work has already been ac- complished by this committee, which, un- Like most of the other "06 bodies, has no auxiliary band of workers. Not only have the two huge tents, which were used last year in Boston for places of meeting, been secured for this year’s convention, but an additional tent of like dimensions with the others has been contracted for, and will be utilized. The committee will look after the arrangements for seating on the platforms, exch of which will be built to accommodate atout 1,200 persons. Provision will have to be made for 500 invited guests, and twenty- five s2ats will be reserved for the speakers. The remaining space on the platforms will be reserved for the sections of the choir. The ball committe: will look after the proper lighting of the tents and the grounds about them, will provide for one or more lunch tents, where light refresh- ments may be obtained, and will arrange for a hospital tent, where persons taken suddenly 111 may secure prompt and efti- elent medical attention. But as the three mammoth canvas in- closures will be insufficient for the purposes of the convention, the hall committee will see that several churches are properly pre- pared for the overflows. Central Hall over Center market has been engaged, and will be fitted up for a place of meeting. The Washington Light Infantry Armory has been secured by the commtitee, aud in it wit be erected booths and tables for ex- hibits of the denominational boards and for the distribution of Iterature. The city newspapers will be provided suitable con- veniences in this hall for receiving sub- scriptions and taking orders for convention issues, and during the convention season Wm. W. Tuckey. the headquarters of the committee of ’06 will be temporarily removed to the armory, to be more convenient to the tents and those who have business with the mem- bers. After the convention is over, the work of cleaning up will be left to the hall com- mittee, which, like the housewife’s duty of clearing the tablé and washing dishes, is unattractive and burdeasome. Things must be restored to their normal condition, how- ever; the tents must be taken down and shipped, and the damage to the turf of the White Lot repaired. Temporary platforms which may b2 erected in the churches will have to be-removed, and things generally put in shape again. These tasks will en- gage the unexpended energies of the mem- bers of the committee when the conven- tion, now only three months in the future, shall have become a thing of the past. Connected with the hall commitee and subordinate ¢o it are two other commit- tees, on decorations and ushers. Each of these has an auxiliary body assisting in its work, the decorations committee numbering about two hundred, and the ushers about six hundred at present. Decoration Committee. W. W. Tuckey is chairman of the sub- committee on decorations; Page Zimmer- man of the Mount Vernon Place M. &. Church is secretary, and the other mem- bers are James A, McElwee of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, James F. McGee of the Western Presbyterian Church, George K, Leet of Gunton Temple Memorial Pres- byterian Church, W. C. Henry of the West- minster Presbyterian Church, Leslie C.Rey- nolds of the Gartield Memorial Christian Chureh, and N. L. Hammer of Gurley Me- morial Presbyterian Church: Mr, Tuckey, the chairman, was born in Baltimore, and at the age of sixteen hé united with the Bruadway Presbyterian Chureh, remaining actively identified with its ‘interests until, in 1889, when he re- moved to this city. He is now connected with the Sixth Presbyterian Church. Dec- erating has been Mr. Tuckey’s business for thirteen years, and he is therefore looked upon as just the man for the place. In January last the District Union held its fourth annual convention in Central Hall, and Mr. Tuckey -aW@ his committee were called on to” aoe they could do in the way of de iting the i:-terior.

It is proposed to send letters—in fact, some of the com- Munications have al been mailed—to representatives of Han- Endeavor unions in at least thifty‘tountries of the globe, asking that th: of such states or nations be sent to the ¢ommittee of ‘36 for use in decorating ithe ‘fhree convention tents, one for each teu! is pointed out in the letter that late @elegations from the foreign countries will not, in all _prob- ability, find it feasible to attend the Wash- ington convention, but in order that mem- bers of the organization all around the world may-have some part and interest in the gathering, the opportunity is afforded. of presenting the flags for decorative pur- Poses to stand as an expression of loyalty to the widespread international movement. It Is believed the responses to these re- quests will be prompt and cordial, and the flags themselves will be placed conspicu- ously in the tents, an object lesson wo all of the vast extent of the movement, which fifteen years ago was in its infancy. These flags will be presented to the trustees of the United Soclety after the convention for a lasting memorial to the devotion of Endeavorers to their principles and or- ganization, and as emphasizing the tact that the movement is not limited by creed, race or language. | Of course, the city will be in gala attire to receive the scores of thousands of vis- itors. Business houses, ‘residences and churches, {t is expected, will be streaming with flags and bunting, and with the con- vention and national colors, both red, white and blue. It is proposed, also, to have the railroad stations near the city along the Mnes of travel display a wealth of flutter- ing color as an earnest of the cordial greet- ing awaiting the delegates in the gaily cec- orated city. Even the delegates and citi- zens themselves will be decorated to a greater or less extent with’a mass of badges and emblems pinned to coats and clothing. Prettily draped shop windows will pay their homage to the thronging guests, hotel parlors and lobbies will ex- tend a silent welcome of buntmz and fes- tcons, and the interior and exterlor of churches, streaming with flags and colors, will offer cordial greetings. It is possible, too, that the forces of na- ture may be trained to offer greeting to those whose principles are for the right, and who seek the elevation and betterment of humanity. As was so elaborately done at the time of the Grand Army encamp- ment here, and at the last Christian En- deavor convention in Boston, the parks and public gardens may be filled with flower beds in which the C. E. monogram and other characteristic devices may be worked out in living, delicate organisms. Aside from oversesing the decorating, the committee will also issue an official badge. a souvenir of the convention, une to be presented to each delegate upon regis- tering. The badge will be worn in a con- spicuous place, and will entitle its posses- sor to admission to all the sesstons of the convention except those exclusively ar- ranged for the citizens of Washington. De- signs for this badge are now being received by Mr. Tuckey, and opportunity will be given for any additional sketches to be submitted. Tren the designs will he open- ed and considered by the committee, and a selection made. Corps of Ushers. To assist in seating the great audiences at the meeting places of the convention quickly and with a minimum of confusion, a large corps of trained ushers wilt be nec- essary. There is, therefore, an ushers’ sub- committee of the hall committee, of which Willizm W_ Everett, an en: : Christian Endeavor worker, is chal. He was born in Chelsea, Mass., but has lived in this city since he was one year old... His education was received {n the public schools fere, apd after his graduation from the Wm. Wade Everett. High School, in the class of '88, he at once entered oné of the largest mercantile es- tablishments in town, and is now the buy-~ er for one of its important depariments. All his Ife he has been an atiendant at the Calvary Baptist Church, for a number of years he has served as assistant secretary of {ts Sunday school, and is an ex-president of its Christian Endeavor Society. Mr. Everett 1s genial and popular, and his ap- pointment as chief of ushers 1s regarded as a particularly good one. The members of his committee are Wal- ter N. Weston, vice chairman, Calvary Baptist Church; James B. Lackey, secre- tary, Western Presbyterian Church; Rob- ert H. Young, Mount Pleasant Congrega- tional Church; Washington Topham, Me- morlal United Brethren Church; Albert Speiden, First Baptist Church; W. H. As- pinwall, Church of the Covenant; Leidy S. Depue, Western Presbyterian Church, and Robert Leetch, West Street Presbyterian Church. 5 The ushers’ committee consists entirely of young men, and they will be kept busy while the convention is in session. Not only will they officiate at the tents and at Central Hall, but at every Christian En- deavor meeting, wherever held, it is in- tended that they shall be in charge of the seating arrangements. Attractive uniforms will be worn by them. In addition to the skull cap, with the word “Usher” in gilt letters on the band, it is expected that the ushers will be uniformly dressed in some combination of the convention colors, as, for instance, white duck trousers, blue serge coats and red sashes. Such a costume would be very suitable and comfortable during the Jul; days, and would, it is believed, make an at- tractive, distinguishing unifa@m. At present there are about 600 members of Mr. Everett's subcommittee, but it is stated at headquarters that this number is too small to do all the work that will be required, and it will probably be increased to 1,000.
