Sunday evening the Sunday school of St. Matthew's Episcopal Chapel, on M and Half streets southeast, had a very pleasant festival of Eastertide. The pretty church was filled with the children and their rela- dives and friends. The teachers and scholars entered the church from the Sun- ay school room. singing an Easter carol, the procession being led by the Rev. Mr. McKee, minister in charge. Appropriate addresses were made by Dr. Robert Rey- burn and Mr. S. J. McCathran, in which references were made to the great develop- ment of the work of this mission. The re- port of the attendance and contributions of the school since the opening of the chapel was read by Mr. J. H. Howell, secretary; and an offertory solo was sung by Mrs. Susan Burch. —— Marvin Church Entertainment. ‘The entertainment given at Odd Fellows’ Hall southeast. Friday evening, by the young people of Marvit’ M. E. Church South, proved to be enjoyable. An original sketch, entitled a “Darkey Sermon,” was rendered by Messrs. Downing and Taylor, who also contributed an amusing duet. Messrs. Barrow and Haywood, aided by little Miss Ergood, gave a clever adaptation of “Her First Appearance.” Mr. Goldwin Patton recited “Their Bridal Trip.” The laughable sketch of “Courtship Under Diffi- culty” was pleasingly rendered by Mr. Claude Cooksey and Mr. Will. Boyd, assist- ed by Miss Edith Shank. The €anton Po- tomac Drum Corps were heard in several popular marches, after which the comic Production, “A Country School,” was pre- sented by the young people of Marvin Church, under the direction of Mrs. Boyd. oe Palings, Spear Head, per 100, $1.25.

Yesterday afternoon Coroner Hammett investigated Saturday night’s tragedy on the Anacostia bridge. The body of the vic- tim of the knife, Bryant Mackall, was kept in the morgue, where an autopsy was made on it by Deputy Coroner Glazebrook. Thornton Burrell, alias “Punk” Burrell, the alleged slayer of Mackall, was present at the investigation, which was held ut the sixth precinct. The deputy coroner was the first witness examined. He said that the dead man was attired .in rather dilapidated working clothes. He found a cut fn” the left side ofthe -shirt bosom. The-man’s clothing. and breast were smeared ‘with clotted blood. The only wound was a cut in the chest, andthe weapon had entered the pleuro cavity, and the second rib was sev- ered. Witness found that the left lung had been cut, as had the sack covering the heart, in which he found four ounces of blood. There was also a cut in the pul- monary artery. The injury was n fatal, and it was surprising that the man had lived even five minutes. In answer to the ‘coroner’s inquiries, witness gald the wound was evidently made by a sharp in- strument, probably a pocket knife. Coroner Hammeit produced the knife blade found on the bridge, and witness said that the wound may have been made with Policeman’s. Testimony. Policeman Reagan of Anacostia testified that he was firsi told of the cutting by a boy named Cole. When he got to the bridge he saw a crowd of colored men. They were standing about the dead body of Mackall. Witness heard that Mackall had had a fight with the prisoner, “Punk” Bur- rell, and for that reason he was arrested. The knife blade was given to witness by a boy named Branson, who found it about twenty feet from where the dead man was lying. He did not know that the blade had belonged to the prisoner. The handle could not be found. Policeman Marr testified to the arrest of the prisoner. He went with Sergeant An- derson to the house of Burrell’s father, but he was not there. Soon afterward they ar- rested the prisoner. He told witness that he had had a fight with Mackall, but de- nied that he (the prisoner) had done any- thing to the deceased. The prisoner told witness that two boys were with him, but he did not know their names. “What's the prisoner’s character?” the coroner asked. “He hasn't a very good character,” an- swered witness. “He's been arrested sev- eral times.” Sergeant Anderson gave similar testi- mony. ‘When arrested the prisonef said: ““Mack- all-called me a —- —, and I don’t take that off anybody.” Witness said that the prisoner's char- acter is very bad; that he is a professional crap shooter, and has been arrested a num- ber of times. Policeman Reagan was recalled, and he said three or four persons gave him the in- formation which led to the prisoner's ar- rest. The Fight. Leonard Anderson testified that about 9:45 Saturday night he witnessed a fight on the bridge between Burrell and Mack- all. There ~were-fou®: yung; qolored men on the bridge, and he saw them take a drink. When Burrell came on the bridge Mackall was talking to witness. Burrell called to Mackall to come on. They used some profane, language and then clinched. A bystander separated them, and they went together again. When in the middle of the bridge Mackall fell. He got up and went to the side of the bridge, where he fell again. “My God, I've got a knife in me,” witness heard Mackall say. He saw no knife, and could not say that Burrell cut him. Two men raised Mackall to carry him to the drug store, when Bur- rell came back and raised his hand as if to hit him, and said: “Do you want the rest of it?” The several colored men were in a clus- ter when the cutting was done, -and wit- ness could not say just which one used the knife. William West, a resident of Garfield, and friend of the prisoner, testified that he was with friends Saturday night, and when they reached. the..Angeostia end of the br'dge they saw Burrell, who apked If any of them ‘were going home. Burrell and Mackall had some Words, but ‘witness did not know what the wards were, about. He heard Mackalf call Bufrell a s “Did you call me & —2” asked Burrell. ‘ ' Mackall repéated that he did, and the men went together. Witness saw Burrell strike Mackall. = Other witnesses” gave evidence, and the jury returned a verdict holding Burrell re- sponsible for the-death of Mackall. He was thereupon“cofiimitted to jail. Reckless Driving. To the Editor of The Evening Star: As an old subscriber and a.man with a family, permit me to protest, through your columns, against the reckless driving al- lowed on the main thoroughfares in the citys Yesterday afternoon about 5:15 o'clock my wife, chiid and myself, in a closed carriage, had reached Fountain Square, near 2th street, in Georgetown, and had stopped to permit the cable cars to pass before crossing the track to the right side of the street. While standing there a trap driven by a supposed gentle- man came dashing down M street at @ ten- mile gait, and crashed into the carriage, tearing it apart and jeopardizing the lives of myself and family. The man, as usual, was too careless to stop to see if we were hurt, but whipped up, crossed Rock Creek bridge at a trot and was out of sight be- fore he could be stopped. ‘THOMAS CRUSE, First Lieut. and Q.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Senator Pettigrew’s wish that the entire structure of the rew post office building were as combustible as the roof, and that that architectural eyesore might thus be prevented from being for all time a conspic- ucus disfigurement of the carital, voices, I think, the opinion of most people with any taste. Let us at least hope that there are enough men in Congress with some taste apd knowledge of architecture to appre- ciate how hideous this building is, and that it will be an object lesson to them te aid in doing away with the utterly stupid and une satisfactory system for providing plans for United States public buildings heretofore in operation. Tae measures advocated by the Public Art League have this end in view. PARKER MANN. Used a Revolver. Henry Cooper, a big colored man, stole a loaded r volver from Oliver Pullman, and then went to the house of a colored woman and tried -to frighten alf’the members of her family to death. The badly frightened Wwomay made complaint to the police and Henry was arrested. There were charges of concealed weapons and larceny. against him when he appeared in ‘the Police Court yesterday and the court gave him six months in jail. < "y THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, SS “Lafayette Square Opera House.—‘Made- eine, or the Magic Kiss,” is one of the most honest efforts in comic opera that sev- eral seasons have produced. It is melo- dious without being cheaply jinglesome,and amusing. without, for the most part, being coarse. There have been a number of dreary things perpetrated in the name of comic opera. this season; things that failed to touch the popular chord, in spite of the unlimited accessories of lavish display of pink fleshings, fluttering lingerie and topi- cal jokes ad libitum. Madeleine has won success. by force of its quaint simplicity and consistericy of purpose. “Despite rem- iniscence of the Mascot, which the plot contains, the orera lays a stronger claim to originality than’ the majority of similar products. Camille D'Arville is a songstress of exquisite accomplishments, who, without any marked display of histrionic ability, succeeds in thoroughly charming her au- dience by her voice and by her unaffected manner. W. G. Stewart sang the leading tenor role well, and Frank David labored industriously with the comic possibilities of the part of Dr. Gourmet, .an. epi- cure- who has lost his appetite, Alice Gaillard was vigorously comic in the role of =; woman in’ determined _ pur- sult of a@ husband, and Maud and Hilda Hollins did all that fell to their share with vivacity and finish. Despite certain lapses into the commorplaces of coarse fun, dcubtless intended as concessions to “the Popular taste,” Madeleine deserves hearty Tecognition as a work which is both hu- morous and idyllic. .fillen’s Grand Opera House.—Bizet’s ‘Carmen” was. the. bill presented by the Hinrichs company last evening at Allen's Grand.-Opera Houge,_ opening the second week of its‘engagem. “Taken as a whale, the production was pleasing, the costumes, stage. setting and singing being up to a high standard. Louise Natali, as Carmen, acted the part with a great deal of art, while her singing was with excellent ex- Pression and intelligence. Alice Judson sang Michaela, her voice being noticeably good in ‘the third act. F. Michelena probably carried off the honors of the evening in the bart of Don Jose, the brigadier of dragoons. His voice was in splendid condition, and his conception of the role was nearly all that could be desired. Louis de Backer made an excellent Escamillo, both in his rendition of the part and in his singing, his fine physique adding much to the strength of his portrayal of the role. The second act was well received by the au- dience, and all of the artists came in for their share of the applause. The bill for tonight Is “Rigoletto,” with Louis de Backer in the title role. “Aida” will be sung Wed- nesday night, “Lucia” on Thursday, “L’Af- ricaine” Friday, “Carmen” on Saturday af- ternoon, and Saturday evening a double par “Cavalleria Rusticana” and “Il Trova- ‘ore.”” National Theater.—The reception extend- ed to the “Governor of Kentucky” at the National last night was genuine and hearty. Mr. Crane made more friends, if any peo- ple remain who are not his friends already. In any event, as the governor of Ken- tucky he gave another touch to his art, and people were as glad to hail him as “governor” as they have been as ‘Sena- tor.” As to this play, by Mr. Franklyn Fyles, it may be said that while not char- acterized by unusual strength, by sur- prising originality, by perfect probability and by one or two other qualities, it is not overdrawn, and made an acting carica- ture in voice and manner, and is in that far satisfactory, while the plot and the in- cidentals are so designed and executed as to make a very pleasing result. As the governor, Mr. Crane is, of course, what he should be, but the character is too Rear others of his on the same lines to make it striking. His rival for the senator ship, Col. Henry Clay Bingley, as present ed by William Boag, a Washington actor, was as fine in its old-fashioned courtliness as anything we have had in Washington, and Mr. Boag was warmly greeted every time he appeared. Mr. Boag’s work stamps him cs a character actor of superior abil ity. In the same fashion of favor with the audience vas Burr McIntosh’s Daniel Poone Bingley of Breathitt county, not qvite a typical mountaineer, but certainly an ideal one, and played to perfection. Another pair of winners were the twins, vy Misses Margaret and -Anna Robinson, and a dear, sweet girl was Jewel Esbrooke QMiss Blanche Burton), the governoi’s Sweetheart. Miss Abbott’s blue grass o]d maid was a lively bit of equifemininity, and Mrs. Kate Denin Wilson was a handsome mother to the governer. Edwin Arden made Mason Hix a clever villain, and Joe Wheelock’s Carlisle Kenton was as Wheel- ockesque as usual. A gentle old character was the Private Secretary, by Percy Brooke. The scenes of the play are, as nearly as may be, reproductions of the governor’s room in the state house, and the Ktrary in the execu 2 mansion. A little irefdent not on the bills was a visit paid behind the scenes to the stage governor of Kentucky by the genuine governor of Kentucky, ox-Governor McCreary: being in the audience and-slipping around quietly between the last two acts to shake hands. vith his illustrious contemporary or suc~ cessor, or whatever the stage one is to the actual. And these two governors of Ken~ tucky, in the sanctified seclusion of the dressing room, never said a word about its heing a long time between acts! Academy of Music.—Something to make the heart of the gallery throb was the “Land of the Living,” an original drama in five acts, presented at the Academy of Music last night to a fair audience. This is the play’s first appearance in Washing- ton, and its reception was warm outdoors and in. The first act of the play opens in England; thence, after “an elmpse” of two years, it goes to Africa for the second act, and the last three acts are in England again. This allows of diversified scenery, and in respect of this the play is notable. As for the plot, it is of the usual melo- dramatic “kind, ‘good and strong, and is warranted to stir the blood. There is much villainy, but virtue triumphs, and the play ends happily. The hero of the play is Gerald Arkwright (Mr. Frank Karrington) of the firm of Arkwright & Tredgold, with Tredgold (Myron Calice) as the villain, both parts very well done. Little Marie Jonsoh plays the child’s part nicely, and Miss Car- letti and Miss Price,.as Mrs. Tredgold and Mrs. Arkwright, are quite satisfactory. John Price, as Arkwright’s father, did some good comedy work. An_ effective scene was London bridge at night. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Flynn and Sheridan, those well-known caterers to the amusement public, presented a double show at Kernan’s last night. One part was devoted to high-class white-face special- ties, while the other was furnished by col- ored artists. The performance opens with a grand ensemble, introducing the entire company in songs, dances and funny say- ings. Then come in rapid succession Dunn and Nicolai in a number of popular songs; Ward and Flatow, eccentric acrobats; Snyder and Buckley, clever musical ar- tists, and Billy Farrell and wife, the cake- walking champions. A dance of nations Proved entertaining and a clever bit of originality. Eeton and Weathers cracked a number of new jokes, and Julietta Nel- son contributed a daring exhibition of tight rope walking. This was really the feature of the show, and her performance last night was marvelous. An afterpiece entitled ‘On the Island” closed the show. During its progress the darker-hued mem- bers of the corapany indulged in some real old-fashioned buck dancing that was good. Mr. Stoddard on Japan—“A Tour of Japan,” personally conducted by Mr. John L. Stoddard, was made by a large audience at Metzerott Music Hall last night. The lecture was the last in the entertaining course with which this popular traveler has been delighting Washington audiences for two weeks past, and when he shall have de- livered it again tonight and tomorrow even- ing, he will say good-bye until another sea- son. Japan is a wonderfully entertaining country as seen through Mr. Stoddard’s eyes and described in his graceful lan- guage; her clever people and unique cus- LOOSE ROYAL | BAKING } POWDER.

Albaugh Dramatic Arsociation.—The first appearance of ‘the Albaugh Dramatic Asso- clation was made jast. evening at National Rifles’ Armory in the production of Alex- ander. Dumas’ 'three-act play, ‘The Dani- cheffs,” before’a large and appreciative au- dience. The rendition of: the play as a whole was good and the different members of the cast supported their own roles with good effect. The roie-of Countess Danicheff, the star part in- the play, was taken by Mrs. Mary. Hardy, while the honors for the male parts were divided between Mr. Ed- ward-H. Paudert sas the count, and Mr. Theodore Hardy, as Osip, a serf. Mr. Jo- seph. B. Fitzpatrick was good as a French diplomat, and Miss Daisy Haynes as Anna. was clever, The other characters in the work were taken by John L. Dwyer, Walter Watts, Loyis W. Stolp, John J. Kennedy, Themas Solan, Lowis Steinback, Mrs.Adelia Taylor; Mrs. J. W. Dunbar and Miss Libbte Miller... The:Aibaugh Dramatic Association was formed-Januaty'5, 1696, and was named after Mr.\Jehn W.'Albaugh. It has appear- ed in several :private theatrica}- erftertain- ments, but-iast evening was its initial-ap- Pearance before the public. 3 Mr. Pearman’s Recital.—A, musical. and dramatic reoltal will Le given this evening at Masonic: Temple, corner. Dth and .F streets, by Mr. T. Willlams-Pearman, the English tenor, and Miss’ E. Jean Wilson, ¢ramatic reader, assisted by Mr. B. Frank Gebest, late‘of Berlin, and now the organist of Calvary -Baptist Church. Miss Wilson will give her latest: New York success, the mor ologué “Sandy Hook,” which was espe- cially written for her by Mr. Charles Bar- nard.

The choir will be assisted by Mr. F. H. Jacobs, baritone; Mr. Elphonzo Youngs, cornetist, and the Cosmos Ladies’ Quartet. The leader of the choir is Mr. Percy S. Foster, who has been identitied with the organization as its leader ever since it was first started. A few reserved seats are still on sale at Sanders & Stay- man's, 934 F street. Paderewski’s Farewell.—Paderewski’s last appearance in this city will be made ‘Thursday evening at Metzerott Music Hall. It will be made to a crowded house, as is usual with ail Paderewski recitals, and those who go will be filled with the same amount of enthusiasm that has pervaded his’ audience wherever he has appeared. Although it is. given out as his last appear- ance in Washington, any such announce- ment as thatiis not needed to crowd the house, for mere mention of his name aa giving a recital is sufficient to entail a rush ¢n the box office. The pregram to be ren- dered at this irecital is up to the Pader- ewski standard, and will please almost every lover of music that. hears it, The sale of ‘seats hae been opei—a week, and ‘the-tit mber- disposed sof inéitates ‘thatthe coming house will be no exception ta the rule.
