A recitation by Miss Cora Penfield of the lodge followed, and Miss Gertie Fer- guson delighted the company with her fancy dances. The Eclipse Quartet, con- sisting of Messrs. Culley, McCauley, Weav- er and Marlett, sang, as did also Miss Laura Black. Prof. Eugene L.

Gottwals gave a cornet salo, after which a iano duet was rendered by the Misses C. and M. L. Nelsons, members of the lodge. The program was clesed with a vo- cal solo by Miss Isabella Culley, accom- panied by Miss Culley and Prof. Garland. After the close of the program the au- dience retired to the ante-room and were served with refreshments by the ladies in their gay attire. The tables presented a very beautiful appearance, being decorated with floral center pieces, palms, ferns and pink crepe paper ornaments. ‘The social committee consisted of Mr. Richard Allen, chairman, assisted by Mrs. A.

Lafayette Square Opera House.—The sale of seats for the attaches’ benefit, which takes place at the Lafayeite Square next Wednesday evening, has far exceeded their expectations. The boys have all put their shoulders to the wheel and their labor is being well paid by the generosity of the artists who have come forward to their aid. These volunteers are all drawing cards and the mere announcement of their names is a guarantee of the selections they will give on the night of the performance. A better and more pleasing program could not be gotten up in this city, and it wili be of a quality and length so as not to be tiresome. The public will be enabled to enjoy a pleasaut evening seeing the entire performance, and still be enabled to reach their homes at a seasonable hour. There will be no hitches and no disappointments.

W. Lawrence for the Denefit of the Mount Pleasant Field Band. A large audience was present and applause was generous. The cast was the same as that which appeared in the first perform- ance, including Mrs. Milton Odell, Mis: Cassie Mae Knight, Migs Eva Whitford, Charles E. Bell, George W. Lawrence, P. H. Maxwell, C.'H. Cross and W. H. Con- ley. The chorus showed excellent training, while the leading parts were sung with smoothness and precision. The Mount Pleasant Band gave a concert in front of the hall previous to the entertainment. An exhibition of fancy dancing, that was re- ceived with approval, wes given by Misses Flora and Kate Daly during the second act. Columbia Musical Parlors.—The usually large number of good attractions at the | musical parlors of the Columbia Phono- graph Company, $19 Pennsylvania avenue, during the past week had the effect of in- creasing the attendance considerably. A record on the graphophone, entitled “Casey in Bathing at Coney Island,” has proved very popular, and the machine is kept going almost constantly. It fs one of the famous Casey dialogues, and is uproariously funny. | The Irish dialect, the comical sayings of | Casey, and his strangely unfortunate blun- ders never fail to produce long, h laughter. Several other Casey records are on exhibition, but Casey’s Coney Island experience beats them all for laugh-produc- ing results. On the kinetoscope is seen a wonderful reproduction of Corbett in the ring. Every movement of the fighters is plainly shown, and no better opportunity to see a real, genuine prize fight could be de- sired. So natural is the scene that the ob- server looking through the slot in the kinetoscope can almost imagine himself ai the ringside. An attractive program has been prepared for next week. The records will be changed every day. No admission is charged, and the parlors are kept cool by immense electric fans. Edward N. Hoyt, after playing a success- ful season with Margaret Mather, has re. turned to his home in this city, and is now engaged to play leading heavy business in Buckler’s Stock Company at Allen’s Grand Opera House. Mr. Hoyt is a cousin of John L. Stoddard, the well-known lecturer. — Minnehaha Lodge. An instructive, Interesting and well-at- tended session was held by Minnehaha Lodge of Good Templars Tuesday evening. Chief Templar Dinsmore presided. Among the visitors were Arthur Hill of Golden Light Lodge, Alexandria; Mr. Miller of New Jersey and Henry Lewis, a former member. Past Grand Templar Canfield, on whose motion a resolution of thanks was sent to Congressman Dingley for his recent action in urging the House to stand by the bill it had adopted regulating pool rooms, gave an entertaining sketch of the work of the Anti-saloon League, and of the organ- ization of a temperance society in the First Congregational Church, through which the church might come into more active rela- jong to the league. A duet was sung by ‘arrie and Nellie Smith and vocal solos by Miss Elwood and Mrs. Dinsmore. A Memo- tial day paper was read by Mr. Russell, and remarks made by Messrs. Stewart, J. G. Smith and others. The lodge voted to go to the Soldiers’ Home to conduct the Program Friday evening next. ns These to Wed.

Without the lightest known motive for committing the rash act, John T, Hofman, @ well-known saloonkeeper, of 400 9th street southeast, at 8:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon ended his life by sending a bullet from a 38-caliber revolver crashing through his brain. A few moments. before the bloody ,occurrence Mr. Hofman was en- gaged in conversation in the bar room with Mr. Edward De Caindry af the government printing office, who boards at the Hofman establishment. The subject under discus- sion was a summer outing, and Mr. Hof- man described the plang he had decided upon for the hot weather. Mr. De Caindry then took up a newspaper, and Mr. Hof- man retired to an adjoining toilet room, and almost immediately two shots rang out. Mr, De Caindry and several members of the family hastened to the scene and found Mr. Hofman lying on the floor with the blood streaming from his mouth. ‘The deceased seemed to be in the best of spirits up to the time of his self-destruc- tion. He leaves a wife and six children, one of whom, a daughter, is married. Mr. Hofman was forty-nine years of age. He was of large build and jovial disposition, and had conducted the restaurant and sum- mer garden for a number ef years past. Coroner Hammett decided that the case Was clearly a suicide, and the body was then turned over to an undertaker. Funeral services over the remains wiil be held Mon- day next. —_—>—_—. Many Tales of Woe. To the Editor of The Evening Star: As I am a sufferer from the evils men- tioned by your correspondents In several of tho “tales of woe,” permit me to add my mite, ‘The police are to blame for a great deal of the unnecessary nolse and confusion of sound with which our city is cursed, and It is cursed In this respect beyond a doubt. I have had police admit that such and such noises were a nuisance and should be abated, euch, for instance, as groups of loud talkers on the corners at all hours of the night. A recent complaint from me brought the reply from the officer that it was no use taking these cases to the Police Court, as they would simply be dismissed. Then the hucksters! Well, 1 did hope from The Star's editorial just before fish got ripe that we would get some relief, but it worse than ever. Your editorial stated that the Commissioners’ order stopping this howling nuisance was just in ume for fish and strawberries, but {f there was any such order it was promptly smothered scmewhere. There's one of these fellow: a regular lung splitter, who visits m neighborhood between 9:30 and 11:30 every aturday night, just north of Lincoln Park. \ police offered to get a warrant for him ir I would get up and go out and get his number. I declined, as I might get some- thing besides his number, ‘Then there are the regular corner loafers who sit on the bread boxes and drum thereon with their heels UH one cannot read or even think. One or two officers will move them, while others will stop and have a chat. The Sunday newsboys and men have It all thelr own way. The police do not even take an attempt to preserve any sort of order in this respect. I therefore main- tain that at present Washington, at least where I try to sleep and fail in the attempt about three nights out of the week, is con- stantly growing noisier and noisier and more undesirable as a place of re: and that it is due to the non-enfo of existing laws by the police.

To the Editor of The Evening St: I have read with interest an interview from Senator Faulkner and an editorial which appeared in your rin rd to the protest against the award made to the victims of the Ford Theater disaster.
