FARMING CITY LOTS People Who Are Eager to Fellow the the Plan. The Work Was a Decided Success Last Year and Only Needs a Lit- tle Help to Repeat It. A week has intervened since the an- rouncement that the Associated Charities would undertake to help peopie who desir- ed to work gardens on vacant city lots. During that time there have been twenty- seven applications, among them being a number of those who were city-lot farmers last year, a1.d did well by it. Land enough has been offered, several lots being offered today, and several others are likely to be devoted to this purpose if there should be need of them. While the question of land gives the Associated Charities committee no worry there is cause for some anxiety in the mat- ter of funds. But $10 has been contributed thus far for use in defraying lot farming expenses, while the estimate places the expeuses of the work at $100. The effort last year is regarded by all who know any- thing about it as a great success. The families that engaged in raising crops _un- der the management of the Associated Charities succeeded admirably, with but few exceptions, and none of them were ap- plicants for aid during the past winier. Several reaped returns sufficient not only to provide the greater part of their subsist- ence during the winter, but sold enough stuff to buy part of their fuel. The committee began plowing this week, and five lot farmers are now planting their potatoes, beans and other vegetables. The city street sweeping department has not only agreed to give all the fertilizer gath- ered up from the streets, but will deliver it on the lots where it is to be used. Mr. Van Arsdale, who superintended the work last year, is acting in that capacity again this season, and being a practical farmer and a man of excellent executive ability, he manages his task in a very effective man- ner. Every care is taken to protect cach farmer from depredations, and the fact that no one was molested or robbed last year is good guaranty for like protection this year. Mr. F. L. Moore at the Arling- ton Insurance Company's office or Mr. Wilson at the office of the Associated Char- ities will gladly receive contributions to the city lot fund. Those who have the work in charge believe that the lots that were worked last year were left in better condition at the end of the season than they were in at the beginning, and with the fertilizing the lots will receive this year a very decided improvement is as- sured. AMUSEMENTS. Lafayette Square Opera House.—The long heralded presentation of “The Rivals,” with its star cast, will be given at the Lafayette Square Opera House this evening. Mr. Jefferson will be the “Fighting” Bob Acres, Mr. Crane, the irascible old baronet, Sir Anthony Absolute; Mr. Goodwin, the duel- ing Irishman, Sir Lucius O'Trigger; Mr. Wilson, the servant, David; Mr. Taber, the handsome~captain, Jack Absolute; Mr. Jo- seph Holland, the Faukland; Mr. E. M. Holland, the Fag; Mrs. John Drew, the Mrs. Malaprop; Julia Marlowe Taber, the Sweet and pretty Lydia Languish, and Fanny Rice, the pert little maid, Lucy. The sale of seats has been enormous and the performance will attract an audience that is likely to tax the capacity of the theater. New National Theater.—Della Fox, in “Fleur de Lis,” will be the attraction at the New National Theater next week. Academy of Music.—‘‘A Happy Little Home” comes to the Academy of Music next week. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The London Gaiety Girls Burlesque Company, the Bar- num of its class, will be the attraction at Kernan's Lyceum the coming week. ‘This company of excellent merit brings with it lwenty-five pretty girls, ten funny come- dians and two new and original burlesques, entitled “The Century Ciub’s Reception” and “The Tramp Astronomers.” The spec- ialty part of the program introduces a number of favorites, among whom are: The Fergusons, Irish sketch du die Odell, acrobatic tramp: Dot Lothrop, sing- ing soubrette; Keating and Alexander, black face comedians; Chappelle Sisters, song and dance queens, and others. Ali the scenic and mechanieai effects are car- ried by the company for the proper staging of the burlesques. Barnum & Bailey's Circus.—The route of the Barnum & Bailey free street parade Monday morning will be_as follows: On P street to 19th street, to K street, to Wash- ington Circle, to Pennsylvania avenue, to 7th street, to O street, to 3d street, to the grounds. The big show will arrive here to- morrow morning, coming from Wilmington, Del., over the Pennsylvania road, and will get settled in its temporary quarters at 3d and P streets, where the exhibition will be given Monday and Tuesday. The hours ad- vertised for the circus performance in the big tent are 2 p.m. and 8p.m., but it is the pert of wisdom for those who want to get the full value of their invested half dollar to present themselves at the main entrance an hour before that time. The menagerie is the finest collection of rare animals in the country, and includes a number of rare species nowhere else to be found. The won- derful gorilla, Johanna, is the most inter- esting of the animals, and probably the most interesting animal ever in captivity. Johanna is much younger than Chiko, the first of Mr. Bailey’s pair of gorillas, but she | has already developed greater intelligence than he possessed. With her the imitative faculty is strong, and she does whatever she sees people about her doing, as if anxious to get into the “swim” of human society. In addition to the collection of animals, and even more interesting to a majority of thinking visitors, is a large party of natives of Ceylon, Hindustan and other countries of orfental India, who keep the crowds entertained for nearly an hour v.ith dances, religious ceremonies, juggling, legerdemain, sword drills and the acting of portions of ‘a native musical drama, illus- trating the street and home life of the orient. — Representatives of two races of pigmies found in southern India and Ceylon are also shown, one of a high degree of in- telligence, the other of a cave-dwelling type, even below the gorilla Johanna in physique and mental endowment. In addi- tion to the atttractions of the menagerie, a fine military band, assisted by the beautiful young cornet soloist, Jessie Millar, gives a high-class concert during the preliminary hour. Of the circus it need only be said that it Is the good old Barnum & Bailey three-ring circus, with the Meers sisters, William Showles and other favorite riders; the Silbons, Dunbars, Potters and other first-class aerialists; the Glinserettis, As- beys, Lamonts, Werts and O'Brien’ and other wonderful acrobats; LaRoche, the mysterious ascensionist; John O'Brien, with fifty trained horses in one ring, besides trained elephants, bulls, bears, dogs, monk- eys, hogs, lions and tigers; Enetta, the only lady clown, besides Al. Caron, Spader John- son, Harry Wentworth, and a score of fun- ny fellows. And it all concludes with ex- citing hippodrome races, exhibitions of horseless carriages and strange forms of the bicycle, and the great jumping horse Oxford, exhibited by the English eques- trienne, Miss Nellie Reid. “Ben Hur.”—Next Tuesday evening Rev. Dr. Rogers will repeat his recital of “Ben Hur,” with new views and new effects, at the E Street Baptist Church, for the benefit of the building fund of that church. This congregation proposes to erect a handsome new edifice at the corner of 10th and N streets northwest, and this entertainment is one of the methods of raising money for that purpose. Dr. Rogers has been re- markably successful in his presentation of this great work, and this will be the last opportunity of ‘hearing him this season. Besides the many handsome sstereopticon views there will also be excellent vocal music appropriate to the different phases of the story illustrated. It is expected that the church will be crowded. Grace Church Parish Hall.—Twenty young ladies of Grace P. E. Church will give an entertainment for the benefit of the debt fund of that church on Tuesday, May 12, in the parish hall, corner 9th and 'D streets southwest. Some of the best entertainers in the city will contribute toward the very entertaining program that has been ar- ranged. A special feature will be a play, “The Loan of a Lover,” by the following cast: Capt. Amersfort, Karl J. Daniel: ! Swyzel, J. H. Petlin; Deliver, Edward Potts: | Peter Spuyk, Ernest H. Danie; Ernestine, | Miss Mattle ‘Fisher; Gertrude, Miss Jessica | ‘abler. Prof. Vermilya’s May Bail.—-Prof. J. H. Vermilya wili give his annual may carni- val and exhibition of fancy @ancing at National Rifles’ Hall next Friday evening. The program will be one of the most elab- orate ever presented. There will be three queens—Queen of May, Marie Howe; Queen of Dancing, ee ee and Queen of the Fairies, Irené Richardgon. Each will surrounded by her court, and the Rie: ture wijl be unusually handsome. ie maids of honor to the Queen of May will be Helen and Madis Small, Sarah Howe, Blanche Browning, Minnie Curtis and Fan- nie Crandall, crown bearer, Wander King; herald, Master Willis Magruder; page, Mas- ter Colley Bell. Those attending the Queen of Dancing will be: Maids of honor, Daisy Gibbs, Josephine Eckstein, Esther Beh- rend and Jennie Graham; crown bearer, Beesie Leishear. The Queen of Fairies will be surrounded by: Crown bearer, Mabel Cudlip; wand bearer, Gertrude Gibbs; fair- ies, Fannie Heiberger, Elise Browning, Edith Johanson, Margueritte Crandell, Nel- lie Acker, Bessie Leishear, Terry Winter, Annie Buscher and Alice Scott. ‘The four seasons will be represented as follows: Spring, Sarah Richardson; Summer, Carrie Robinson; Autumn, Alice Norris; Winter, Helen Winter. There will be a fine exhibi- tion of fancy dancing. Dr. Talmage’s Lecture.—The lady mana- gers of the Garfield Memorial Hospital have arranged with Rev. T. DeWitt Tal- mage to deliver his new lecture, “My Jour- ney Around the World,” at Allen’s Grand Opera House Friday evening, May 15. Dr. Talmage contributes his services and the entire proceeds are for the benefit of the hospital fund, which is very much in need of eubstantial assistance. Dr. Talmage is everywhere known asa lecturer and Preacher of the highest merit. His re- sources ace boundless. Great genius and criginality, freedom, training, energy and common sense are the secular forces im- parted into the Talmagean method of re- ligion reform. To them are allied the high- er spiritual attributes of consecration, self- disregard,a faith as absolute as ideal fatal- ism, a quenchless hope, a thorough con- sciousness of the special interposition of God in behalf of His cause and His children, and a resolution to make religion commen- surate in its appeal with all the circum- star.ces of man and as simple and beautiful in its ministries as it was in the days when the lilies, the birds, the flocks and the rills were texts, and the raising of the dead, the giving of sight to the blind, and the restoration of the halt and the deaf were the events of pastoral visit. Over 000 newspapers publish his sermons every week in America, Great Britain, Italy, Australia, New Zealand and India, circu- lating r_120,000,000 copies. This is Dr. Talmage’s first lecture in Washington, and an opportunity to hear him may not occur sgain in years. The box office at Allen’s will be open for the sale of tickets on and after May 11. Dr. Stafford on Columbus.—On Thursday, the 2sth instant, Rev. Dr. D. J. Stafford, D. D., will deliver at Allen’s Grand Opera House a lecture on “Christopher Columbus; His Genius and Inspiration,” for the bene: fit of the Georgetown College Athletic As- sociation. Dr. Stafford is well known to Washington, and his wcnderful success as a lecturer sufficiently marks his ability. The subject which he has selected for this occusion is one which will undoubtedly af- ford him opportunity to exercise all his re- markable oratorical powers. This will be the last opportunity to hear Dr. Stafford this season, ard the Athletic Association of Georgetown College feels gratified that it has secured his services. Mrs. Mills’ Students’ Concert.—The pro- gram for Mrs. H. H. Mills’ students’ con- cert that will take place at Metzerott Hall next Friday evening includes Flegier’s song, “Because He Loves Me,” by Miss Driver, with violin obligato by Mr. Hop- kins; Arditi's waltz song, “Parla,” Mrs. Goddard; Abt's “Forest Worship” and Coombs’ ‘‘Beneath Thy Window,” by Mr. Jones; Schuman’s ‘Farewell,’ Miss Corby; Victor Harris’ “Song Like a Rose Should be,” Miss McK e Gods Watching Over Me,” from “Ai Miss Halle; Koven’s “Nita Gitana,"” Miss Doe; “Hear Ye, Israel,” from “Elijah,” Miss McCulloch; Rotolis’ ‘Forget Me Not,” Miss Tyler; Ros- sini’s “Cantu d'Italia, roni's “Ave Maria,” Miss Whitaker, with violin obligato by Miss Lucas; Roackel’s “Charmed Cup,"’ Mr. Roberts; the ballatella from “I Pagliacci,” Miss Reichenbach; Foote’s “Irish Folk Song,” Miss Simonds. “aro Nome,” from Rigoletto, Miss Judson; ‘Thou Charming Bird,” from ‘La Perle du Bresil,” Miss AtLee, with flute obligato by rs. Flint; Masche- Mr. Wagener. The prologue from “Pagli- acci,” and two songs—Massenet's ‘Dost Thou Know” and Victor Harris’ “Good Night,” by Mr. Luebkert. Miss Lotta Mills will play Leschetzky's barcarolla “Vene- zia" and the Wagner-Brassin arrangement of the magic fire music from “Walkure.” Scusa’s Famous Band.—Sousa, with his famous tand and his talented soloi i soon appear in this city on the th instant, and their coming will be awaited with great interest. The merits of the Sousa Band are too well known to need comment, for their fascinating, clean-cut and spirited playing arouses enthusiasm in even the dullest mind. With the finest of brass and the sweetest of clarinets, the band appears to remarkable advaniage In all that it does. Sousa tests the resources of his players to the utmost, but gives only the most satisfactory results. Free to follow the bent of his genius, which he so clearly manifested at the head of the Marine Band, with unlimited resources in the matter of men and music, and, above all, with that personal magnetism which seems of equal effect over audience and players, Sousa has achieved national fame as the foremost bandmaster, and mae his organization at once the most prominent and popular of its kind in this country. He has reached the acme of concert band music in America, and competent critics compare the present Sousa Band with the famous foreign organizations. A Famous Russian Orchestra.—There is an effort on foot to secure the famous Russian Imperial Tscherkess Orchestra for a popular concert Sunday, May 17. As the orchestra has just begun a two-wecks’ en- agement at Music Hall in Baltimore, this should not be a very cifficult matter. The band comprises thirty-five finished imust- cians, using a combination of stringed and band instruments, and is in some re- spects unique, as it is a portion of the band that has been attached to the im- perial palace of-the Czar of Russia for centuries. The men are members of a Tartar tribe that have lived for hun-l-cds of years on the borders of the Black sea. They are natural-born musicians, and rot only play their wild national airs, but also all popular music of the day. Judge Tourgee’s Lecture.—A lecture will be delivered Monday evening at the Israel Metropolitan C. M. E. Church, 1st and B streets southwest, by Judge Tourgee, the author of “A Fool's Errand.” Judge Tour- gee is well known as a speaker and lec- turer, and his talk Monday evening will be anticipated by feelings of pleasure by all who know him. Columbia Musicat Parlors.—Probably no other musical leader has attained so much popularity with the masses of people as John Phillip Sousa. His compositions have all met with great success—the airs being both tuneful and “catchy.” Whenever any march, waltz, etc., bears the name of Mr. Sousa its popularity is assured. Mr. Sousa's latest opera, “El Capitan,” has been a drawing «ard in New York, where it is now running. The greatest “hit” of the entire opera is nis bright, catchy march “El Capitan,” which is destined to become a lasting success. A reccrd of this march waz made for the Col:mbia Phonograph Company, 919 Pennsylvania avenue, and crowds have thronged the parlors to hear it on the graphophones the past two days. The march has not yet been published, the graphophore record being made from’ Mr. Sousa’s own musical arrangement. “El Capitan” will no dcubt prove very popular with the patrons of the parlors.

The regular meetings of both the Con- federate Veterans’, Association and the Southern Relief Society, Thursday cvening, were more largely attended than for many months heretofore, the occasion being the ccmpletion of arrangements for the coming er.tertainment forthe benefit of the Me- morial Hall, arf@ the expected address of Col. R. C. Wood of New Orleans on the progress of the benefit work elsewhere. Nothing is being left undone by the south- ern ladies, ably assisted by the ladies of the Relief Society, to make the approach- ing fete an attractive and successful event. The great interest manifested in similar festivals in other southern cities is stimu- lating the southerners here to make un- usual efforts to place themselves on record as being abreast with the foremost in their work and contribution to the erection of a great historical edifice for the collection and perpetuation of southern history, mementos and remembrances of its heroes and relics of its military prowess, not only pertaining to the recent conflict, but extending back to colonial days, when the list of its gal- lant sons were headed by the immortal Washington himself. Col. Wood's Cheering Report. After the necessary transaction of rou- tine business, both societies gathered in the veterans’ hall, and were treated to an account of his stewardship by Col. Wood, who is the general manager of work to- ward raising funds for the proposed memo- rial building. He began by briefly referring to the origin of the project with Mr. Chas. B. Rouss of New York, his contribution of $100,000, the primary steps taken by the United Confederate Veterans at their an- nual reunion, upon accepting the proposi- tion of raising.a similar sum. He gave in detail the work of more than 800 camps, now progressing with enthusiasm every- where; of the interest manifested in the scheme, and assistance being rendered by the numerous orders, and especially or- ganized bodies ofthe women of the south- ern cities, and of the generous individual contributions being made. The promises of a magnificent fund, one far beyond the original conception, in the end, he regarded as most flattering, and he predicted the erection of a building that any city in the world would be proud to have. Location of the Memorial. As to the location of this gramd and com- prehensive structure, Col. Wood said, the suitability of a city in point of geographical lceation, its historical and literary attrac- tveness and general ability to promote such an enterprise and to take care of a building of such magnitude after its eve tion would enter largely into the points of decision, and he added, significantly, that @ practical offering by the city wishing to secure it wuuld not be a minor factor in the ult. The decision of location will de- volve upon & committee composed of one from each state having a representation in the reunion at Richmond June 30, the Dis- trict of Columbia being orded the rights and privileges of a state in the official body. Col. Wood was listened to with great in- terest, and his eloquent and lucid report of the work of fund gathering stimulated his hearers into renewed action in their efforts here to swell the general collection to an ’normous amount. ‘The Coming Festival. Final arrangements for the fete and fes- tival are being rapidly and thoroughly con- cluded.
