The Songs to Be Sung at the Christian Endeavor Convention—More Subscriptions, The large auditorium of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church was almost complete- ly filled last night with about one thousand singers, comprising what is known as sec- tion A of the Christian Endeavor chorus, who had come together as a section for the first time, in order to begin the active work of rehearsal for the convention. It was a meeting full of earnestn and enthusiasm and an earnest of what may be expected in July. ‘The meeting was opened with prayer, and then Mr. Charles S. Clark, chairman of the "06 music comittee, made a few remarks, impressing upon those present the neces- sity of entering upon the work before them with a lofty purpose, and urged them to characterize all their work by faithful and conscientious attendance upon all rehear- sals. Under Perey Foster's Baton. Mr. Clark then turned over the drilling of the section to Mr. Percy S. Foster, who, as has been previously announced, is to be one of the directors during the sessions of the convention. Mr. Foster has assisted in the leading of the singing at the last two conventions and the United Society of Christian Endeavor has again selected him to fill this post of honor. Mr. Foster announced as the first selec- tion to be practiced one of the convention favorites, “We Come Today From Far and * This was follawed by several other familiar hymns, among them being “Any- where With Jesus,” “Keep Step With the Master,” “Send the Light,” “Army of En- eavor,” and several others. The rehearsal closed with the members of the section rising and consecrating them- selves to the work. The magnitude of this great feature of the coming convention was demonstrated by the rehearsal last evening. That It will be @ most inspiring feature has been long as- sured, but the rehearsal last evening show- ed what may be expected from this branch of the work. The next rehearsal of section A was an- nounced for May 1, at the same place, Metropolitan Presbyterian Church. ‘The first rehearsal of section B, which in- the choirs that have been formed in Presbyterian, Peo- clude the Eckington, A mobly Fourth Presbyterian, Kendall Baptist, z Congregational, jouthwes' minster Presbyterian, Cent Calvary First yland M.

It was announced that all singers who had not yet enlisted in the ranks of the chor could do so by attending the re- hearsal this evening at the First Congrega- tional Church, and signifying their desire to join the chorus. Committee of '96. he regular meeting of the committee of which was also neid last evening, considerable business was _ transacted.

There was a meeting of the executive committee of the South Washington Citi- zens’ Association held last evening, at which the question of taking legal action against the garbage crematory was dis- cussed. The matter was placed in the hands of attorneys, and it is likely that ap- plication will be made to the CHES for redress. ——— Knights of Pythias Anniversary. Franklin Lodge, No. 2, the oldest lodge of Knights of Pythias in the world, cele- ted Its thirty-second anniversary last evering in its hall, which was crowded to the doors with the friends of the members.

AMUSEMENTS, Lafayette Square pera House.—“Excel- or, Jr.,” is one of the airy bundles of color and inconsistency in which the libret- tist, the composer and even the comedian largely subordinate themselves to the cal- cium light man, the scene painter and the costumer. A number of clever epecialty stars assure an agreeable evening's enter- tainment, even should the wit seem at times lacking in pungency and the music occasionally tame and perfunctory. A large house at the Lafayette Square Opera House last night attested the popularity of this style of entertainment. As an impressario of extravaganza Mr. E. E. Rice, under whose management “Excelsior, Jr.,’" comes, holds easy supremacy, and the genius of absurdity frisks as tirelessly through this conceit as it has in any of his previous of- ferings. Arthur Dunn is funny in inverse retio to his size. He is one of the smallest men on the stage, but humorously he is always immense. Fay Templeton is jolly, comely and a favorite. Yvette Violet is a cashing representative of the French type of music hall cantatrice, who frisks auda- ciously on the borders of propriety, and Messrs. Don, Black, Campbell and Earle make up a quartet that was not only amusing, but musically efficient. Allen's Grand Opera House.—Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb and her band of Liliputians cpened an engagement at Allen's Grand Cpera House yesterday afternoon, where they will give performances every after- noon this week and Wednesday and Thurs- day evenings. ‘The company is an excep- uonally clever one, and there is everything in it to astonish and delight. Count Magri and Baron Magri, his brother, are singers, comedians, boxers and swordsmen. Miss Jennie Quigley is a dainty little heing who sings, while Capt. George Laible and Annie Nelson are an amusing team. A comediet- ta entitled “Two Rivals” is given, in which Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb, or Countess Magri, as the count now claims her for his brid is the beloved, and Count and Baron Mag: are deadly rivals for her hand. Their exhi- bition of swordsmanship is something re- markable, while their bout with the gloves is just as funny and exciting. Harry Helms does a neat juggling act in the olio, Jennie Quigley does a singing turn and Capt. Laible and Miss Nelson give a society sketch, entitled ‘Mr. and Mrs. Thompson.” Mme. Trazour gives many pretty poses in midair, and Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb sings her famous song, “I'm Sixty-five,” which she has given over 6,000 times, the perform- ance concluding with the act, “The En- chanted Statue:” In this Count Magri poses as the statue and by quick changes appears as Satan, Katrina, Ophelia and Columbia, all the while frightening Baron Magri, as the stupid servant who has been left in charge of the work of art. The troupe ts as- sisted by Mlle. Carlini’s trained dogs ar monkeys, which give an amusing and laug! able performance, the skirt dancing and rope-waiking dogs being especially tine. National Theater.—“What's in a _name ries. In the name of “The Two Es- * for instance,Sydney Rosenfeld’s making its first appearance in Washington last night, there la nothing to indicate what a really bright and entertain- ing bit of clever comedy it {s, and in that far the name fs no help to the play. It is an Americanization from the German p! “Zwei Wappen.” It is a coherent play, and, added to its other merits, It is in the hands of good people. A more att tive widow than Miss Edythe Chapman made would be Gifficult to find, for she gave the part the traditicnal finesse and magnetism of the actual widow, and added to it the finished grace of the artist. Mr. Robert Cotton’s Baron von Wettengen was a fine piece of never overdone, and Mr. Craig gave ible though not probable type of ago pork packer. Mr. George Bac! was happy as Captain von Vinck, and Vin- cent Serrano was an earnest and well-acted lover to Miss Barrington, as Miss Foster, the very pretty daughter of the pork p Miss Muldener was an attractive bar albeit her voice suffered from a severe cold. Mr. Tony Cummings, an aspiring Washing ton actor, aspired in a small part as caterer. The play made its own way on its merit and at the end of the third act the enti company was called before the curtai twice, and Mr. Rosenfeld made a speech in his usual graceful and felicitouf manne: Academy of Music.—The play at the udemy of Music last night included in its st the author and the leading actor, Mr. igar Selden, who, as Timothy McKenna, makes “McKenna's Flirtation: As might be expected from the title, the play is of the farce-comedy type, and scattered through it are specialties of the usual vaudeville kind, including songs, dances and ational concatena » Which are rkling and sometimes not. “McKenna’s Flirtations,” while not the very best of its cla s many ad- mirers who like that sort of thing, and they found a lot ef fun m the various | uations of the play, the specialties and t pretty girls. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Harry ris’ Twentieth Century Girls were -at nan's Lyceum Theater early in the season, and were so exceptionally good that Man- ager Kernan booked them for a return daie, and they opened last night to an au- dience that packed the theater. The even- ing’s performance begins with a short bur- lesque on the coming woman, entitled ‘The Girls’ Bachelor Stag,’ which gave an op- portunity for bright sayings, good singing and a display of fetching bloomers. As the Yankee clodhoppr, John Hansen is very funny, and pleased every one with his sings ing and sayings. The versatile sketch team, Emerson and Carter, were ver pleasing and scored a big hit. Miss Lela Trimble rendered several popular songs in a taking manner. Then came the hving pictu: They were appropriately staged, the background and frame being very elab- orate, while the figures were posed with considerable artistic taste by Miss Teddy Pasquelena. That bright little electric spark, Miss Nettie De Coursey, repeated the success of her former visit, the song “Won't You Marry Me?” creating as much excitement as ever. The show concludes with a burlesque on “‘Trilby,” entitled ‘Too Much Trilby,” and is acted with a spirit of humor that ts irresistible. Harry Morris as lang Valley’ and the remainder of the cast were seen to good advantage in the funny by-play and pretty dances. The Oratorio of Elijah.—There is perhaps only one oratorio that is received in Wash- ington with more favor than “Elijah,” and that is the “Messiah.” The latter is always 1endered at Christmas time by the Choral Society, but at some time during the year the “Elijah” attracts Just as much atten- tion and draws just as large a house. The work in the “Eiijah’’ is heavy and yet spirited, the grand choruses ringing out with force that simply makes thé audience thrill. While the chorus work is magnifi- cent the quartets, trios and double quar- tets come in for their share of the praise, and no prettier or sweeter music can be found than in this part of the score of the “Elijah.” The soloists, who have been en- gaged for the coming production of this oratorio by the Choral Society Friday even- ing at Allen’s Grand Opera House, are well known, and in order to make the rendition of the beautiful work as complete as possi- ble the Philharmonic and Apollo quartets have been engaged to do duty in the double quartet or octet work. The sale of seats is now going on at Ellis’ music store on Penn- sylvania avenue, and the indications point to an unusually successful event in the his- tory of the Choral Society. The Poster Exhibit—The poster exhibit he Pope Manufacturing Company open- yesterday afternoon at the Washington Light Infantry Armory and attracted a large number of people who are interested in this form of art. These posters were de- signed for prizes which were offered by the Pope company some time ago for use as ad- vertisements of the Columbia bicycle, and scme of them are exceedingly handsome and artistic. The collection embraces those that received the prizes and honorable men- tion, together with a few others seleoted on account of some striking feature whicn they possess. About four hundred speci- mens are shown, and the collection has been shown in Boston, New York and Philadelphia, attracting widespread atten- tion. The exhibit will be open every after= ncon and evening this week. Several excel- lent designs are shown, the prize winners Leing, as a whole, excellent specimens of the poster art.

An Odd Fellows’ Anniversary.—The sev- enty-seventh anniversary of the Independ- ent Order of Odd Fellows will take place Monday evening, April 27, at Convention je ever: ing’s entertainment is to be He Va “shape of a receptién, promenade, concert and Fop, and the music for the occasion will be furnished by the United States Marine Band. The affair is to be made a notable one in the history of the IO. O. F., and igreat preparations are being made by the committees in charge for the event. Ben Hur.—A large audience saw and heard the seventeenth representation of the story of “Ben Hur,” given last evening at the Church of Our-Father by Rev. A. G. Rogers, the popularity of the lecture not having seemed to diminish in the least. The vocal musical numbers were rendered by Mrs. J. T. Exnicious, while Miss Con- stance Hurworth whistled the “Ben Hur March” with great effect. The eighteenth production of the lecture will take place to- night, and the indications are that the house will be just as well filled as at the beginning of its long run. A_Reunited Country.—"The Charity of an Epoch, or, A Reunited Country,” is the litle of a patriotic lecture, which will be delivered in Washington at Metzerott’s Musie Hall on Friday evening, May 1, by Mr. I. D. McCormick of Kentucky. Mr. Me- Cormick was educated at Washington and Lee University during the presidency of Gen, Lee, and the interpretation of the later life of Gen. Lee—in everything looking to reconciliation and fraternity between the sections—is full of interest. The lecture to be given here will be under the distinguish- ed patronage of Mr. Justice Harlan, Mr. Justice Brewer, Postmaster General Wil- scn, Secretary’ Herbert, Gen, Miles, Mr. Thos. Nelson Page, Col, John McElroy, Gov. Jas. B. McCreary, Gen. Breckinridge, Mr. Josiah Patterson and others, Miss Rogers’ Benefit.—A testimonial bene- fit for Miss Lucie Rogers will be given at National Rifles’ Armory this evening. “Un- der Two Flags,” a dramatization of Ouida's novel, will be put on by Hal Clarendon, jr., Wm. H. Conley, A. T. Seaman, Mrs. Clar- endon Smith and others well known in local amateur dramatic circles, and an excelient production of the work is look- ed for. Miss Maud Powell's Recital.—One of the musical events of the month will be the recital of Miss Maud Powell, the violinist, at Metzerott Music Hall, Apr.’ 28, when she will be assisted by Rudolph von rpa, the eminent pianist, and local talent of kreat merit. Miss Powell needs no intro- duction to a Washington audience, and music lovers of the national pital will respond generously. “Ingomar” Tonight.—The play, “Ingomar,” which js to be presented this evening at Allen's Grand Opera House for the benefit of the Institution of Our Lady of M is attracting widespread atten- tion, both on account of the work itself and those who are to take the differ characters who have a part in it. Misi Franklyn Lynch, who is to take the char- acter of Parthenia, is well known, and her impersonagion of the part will’ have the effect of drawing a great many people. Mr. Percy Winter, with his usual qualities as a stage manager, will have entire charge of the production, while the rest of the company Is as competent as the star. The sterling worth of the entertainment pre- sented, added to the object for which it is given, should crowd the house, and the sale of tickets already shows a generous patronage. # Street Baptist Church.—The first en- tertainment of the course of entertainments to be given at the E Street Baptist Church will be given this evening by Mr. Russell H. Conwell, in the shape of a lecture, en- titled “The Jolly Earthquake, or How to Be Happy.” Mr. Russell Conwell is well known as a lecturer of more than an or- dinary amount of entertaining power, and his talks always contain something to please every one a Delinquent Taxes on the Installment Plan.
