A mass mecting in the Interest of the colored young men of the District of Co- tumbia wes held yesterday afternoon at the Metropolitan M. E. Church, 41 street northwest, Rev. Hugh Johnson, pastor, the special object being to bring before the keneral public the usefulness of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association of Washingion, and to get money toward pay- ing off its debt. Bishcp Abraham Grant of Georgia, one of the leading members of the board of bishops of the A. M. E. connection, presid- ed, and made a characteristic address. After relating in much detail the evils to which young men are exposed in all large ies, he said that the reason why the colored men of Washington not attend church regularly was because “there are 4,000 saloons, 1,000 pool rooms ow) gambling Places in Washington which welcomed those who came to them with open arms.” He argued that a law ought to be enacted prohibiting the sale of liquor, which he claimed was primarily the cause of the commission of most of the crimes that were perpetrated. He was, he said, strong- ly opposed to the emigration of colored men from this country to Africa, America be- ing their natural home, and they had as much right here as had the whites. He predicted that two centuries from now the colored race would predominate Jn the af- fairs of the world, and that ships owned by colored merchants would be seen in ev- ery port in the world. Rev. Dr. H. R. Naylor, pastor of Me- Kendree M. E. Church, made an earnest appeal for financial aid for the Colored Y. M. C. A., which, he sald, had accomplished a vast amount of good, but needed money to liquidate a debt of about $4.00) on the building occupied by them, which is press- ing the association very sorely. An address was also made by Rey. Will- iam A. Creditt of Berean Baptist Church and Bishop Grant and others, by personal sclicitation, secured quite a number of pledges of donations, The music for the occasion was of a high order, and was furnished by the choir of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M street northwest, and the Vance Quartet, under the direction of Prof. John T. Layton. ——— SHEPHERD DEPARTS. Gov. Leaves to Look After His Inter- ests in Mexico, Gov. Alexander R.

Shaw will tonight inaugurate his fourth season of summer enteftainment at Allen’s Grand Opera House. He will present a com- pany of musical comedians in a comedy called “Dr. Flam,” which is said to afford excellent opportunity for specialties, and which has been highly successful in London. Mr. Shaw’s previous seasons have been re- ‘markably successful, amd he thinks the en- tertainments he will mow present are su- perior to those of formet years. Mr.Downing’s Testimonial.—Robert Down- |. ing was the recipient of a testimonial bene- fit Saturday evening at -Allen’s Grand Opera House that he will long remember. It was @ memorable event in more ways than one, for not only was it the 3,000th performance of “The Gladiator” by the popular actor, but Saturday evening completed his twen- tieth yearon the stage. Robert Downing has many friends in this city, and they turned out in force Saturday evening to show their appreciation of ‘his worth. The portrayal of “The Gladiator” was the same complete performance that Downing has been noted for, the cast being excellent. Hugenie Blair as Neodamia was, of course, the star, after Downing, and their work was accorded hearty and at times tumul- tuous applause during the entire evening. The others{n the cast were Mr. J. H. Kolker as Flavian, Mr. William Frederic as Origin, Mr. W. B. Downing as the pagan priest, Mr. Alex. McKenzie as Tribune, Mr. Wm. Allen as Neophyte, Mr. Walter Davis as Octavius, Mr, Willlam Alexander as Claudius, Mr. S. 8. Samuels as Marcus, Miss May Lindley as Hermia, Miss Nettie Baker as Sonona, and Miss Maud Ream Stover as Faustina. As a curtain raiser to “he Glad- Jator” the one-act comedy “French ,Mar- riage,” by Charles Dance, was given, with Mr. Downing as Sangfroid, Eugenie’ Blair as Pauline and J. H. Kolker as Alphonse. Between the two performances Miss Alice Judson, late of the Hinrichs Opera Company, sang Arditti's “Parla” in exceilent. voice and received hearty encouragement for her work. Mr. Downing was presented during the performance with a Mystic Shrine badge in roses and carnations by Mr. Ed. B. Hay, the recipient acknowledging the honor in a speech, In which he outlined some of his future plans and hopes, and thanked his friends for their support and encourage- ment. Mrs. Tom Thumb's Lecture.—A concert was given at Allen's Grand Opera House last evening by Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb and her company of Lilliputians. Songs and piano selections, with a lecture by Mrs. Gen, Tom Thumb, in which she outlined her career of forty years of travel and experi- ence on the stage, were the features, to- gether with & mesmeric seance by Mme. Trazonl. Prof. Van Da Grift and the Countess Lavina played the piano, and pi. Liabie, Jennie Quigley, Miss Nelson, Count and Baron Magri sang, Count Magri with a short ile not large, was appreciative, and testified its appreciation of the work of the diminutive actors and actresses by hearty and frequent applause.

V. Holmes, becomes greater. There Is no doubt that this huge orchestra will be a revelation to lovers of mandolins, banjos and guitars. Washington can boast of the largest orchestra of this kind in the world. The Madrids’ program at Metzerott Hall Mhursday night bids fair to excel any ur musical performance given here ome time. They will have the ist- se of such well-known artists as Mis Judson, Mr: ttie Thompson-B nds, Miss Antoinette tern, . Mr. James Watson, Bangs, the Rand Quartet, the Apollo Quartet, and Mr. Holmes’ Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar Orchestra. One of the features of the Madrid Quartet will be the Madrid March, written especially for them by Mr. B. F.

The monument to the late Frederick Douglass which is being erected in Roch- ester, ¥., is rapidly approaching com- pletion. The pedestal, which was cut of Westerly granite in Rhode Island, has been finished. It is of massive construc- tion, and rises nine feet above the ground. The statue of Douglass which will sur- mount it will be eight feet in height. The monument is the result of the efforts of the colored people throughout the coun- try to commemorate the genius of their great leader, and Rochester was sel: as the place for {ts erection hecanse it was In that city that he lived for nearly thirty years, waging his campaign in b of freedom, and it is there he was 5uried. The dedication will take place in a few weeks, and it {s believed that Dr, Chauncey M. Depew will be the orator of the oc sion. — GONE TO HIS NEW FIELD. Bishop O'Gorman Leaves for His Diocese in South Dakota, After a week spent in paying his fare- well calls and receiving the regrets of the friends who so sincerely mourn his depart ure, Bishop O'Gorman left Washington yes- terday for Sioux Falls, where he will be formally installed Sunday, May 3.

The temporary su cessor of Bishop O'Gorman will be, it is believed, Chancellor Laughlin of the arch- diocese of Philadelphia. ———.—_—_.

This little farce Is rich in fanny situations and spirit- ed dialogue. Dr. Frederick Cleveland Test, as the law clerk of Benson & Benson and the supposed Mr. Bob, made a very decided hit. Miss Ethel Fish, as Patty, the maid, won hearty appleuse in her’ coquettish passes with the levelorn butler (Mr. Chas. D. Church). The clever bit of Massachu- setts scenery in the background of the stage was painted by Miss Fish. The character of the maiden lady with cork- screw curls and a compassion for invalid cats was well taken by Mrs. Mary D. Ha- zen. Miss Lucie R. Bailey was a spirited Katherine and Mr. B. Frank Anderson looked and acted well the character of an enthusiastic yachtsman. Miss M, Gertrude Spear, the real Mr. Bob, was in fact a silm and pretty maid who yet could sail a yacht and win a race. The music of plano, Violln and mandolins enlivened the interludes and won hearty applause from the audience. h Sedeeetetentetnenntetetetintedeteteted ROYAL : BAKING POW DER. Absolutely Pure.
