THE CHURCHMAN'S LEAGUE Fall Mecting Held in Epiphany Parish Hall Last Evening, Interesting Talks on the Work of the Recent Convention of the Brother- hoed of St. Andrew. The fall meeting of the Churchman's League of the District’ of Columbia’ was held at Epiphany Parish Hall. last even- ing, the attendance being quite large. President Melville Church presided, and after the transaction-e§ routine matters the league listened with much interest to Rev. Wm. R. Turner and Mr. William Edward Horton, who graphically. pictured the re- cent convention of the Brotherhood of 8t. Andrew at Pittsburg. Dr. W. H. Wilmer was also expected to address the imecting, but Secretary Edward F. Looker explain- ed that he was unavoldably detained. Af- ter the meeting refreshments were served. The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. Chas. E. Buck, and, “after the minutes of the previous meeting had been read, Treasurer Wm. P. Young read his report, showing a balance on hand “of $103.92. A motion to change the name of the association from the Churchman’s League of the District of Columbia to the Churchman’s League of the Diocese of Washington was lost by a vote of 24 to 63. Dr. James T. Sothoron moved that a committee of one layman from each parish be appointed to confer with the clersy upon the advisability of establishing here an asylum for inebriates, but the moticn failed of a second. An Invitation /from Trinity parish to hol the ext imeeting there was accepted. Upon the motion of Rev. Dr. J. H. Elliott the president was authorized to appoint additional members on the committee on Sunday ‘observance. The following were elected to member- Joseph Burden, Dr. P. M. Rixey, . R. Riley, E. H. Brosius, Dr. McMur- try and Beall Howard. Rev. Wm. R. Turner and Mr. William Howard Horton then addressed the meet- ing. giving a most interesting description of the convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew held at Pittsburg last month. <It was stated that of the 700 present but 60 were clergymen, and that much good work was done. The meeting closed with prayer by Rev. Dr. R. H. McKim. Among those present were: Commissioner Truesdell, Rev. Randolph H. McKim, Rev. ‘on Falls, Dr. Wm. P. Young, J. Holls- orth Gordon, Charles Abert, Henry E. Pellew, James G. Waters, Rev. John A. Aspinwall, Lewis J. Davis, Nathl. B. Fu- gitt, Wm. B. Todd, Melville Church, Ed- ward F. Looker, T. Percy Myers, Wm.

Beerbohm Tree, at the Lafayette Square Opera House last night was excep- tionally large, and included many distin- guished people. The performance of “The Dancing Girl,” a play which for intensity of heart interest rivals “Camille,” without falling into the old-time ruts of the emo- tional drama, was admirable for its even- ness. Mr. Tree commanded approbation rather more for the completeness with which he presented the work in hand than for his personal endeavors. With a clear perception of the value of force, tempered by the true artist's aversion to overdoing, Mr. Tree was enabled to give the produc- tion that smoothness of expression which betokens the domination of dramatic in- telligence and refinement. Individually, Mr. Tree's qualities were not such as to ccmmand superlative ccmmendation. In that important factor In an actor's equip- men, clean enunciation, Mr. Tree seems to be cne of the many successful people who have triumphed over obstacles that would be insurmountable for men of weaker na- tures. The cast includes Mr. Gerold Du Maurier, a son of the deceased novelist. He is a very clever character actor, and his presence on the stage relieved the in- tensity of the play without marring its symmetry. Miss Kate Rorke played the title role with discretion and skill, and Mr. Lionel Brough was conscientious in the in- terpretation of a very exacting character. Miss Edith Ostlere was charming as the lame girl, whose gentle ministrations at last win the thoughtless Duke of Guise- bury to his better self. Columbia Taeater.—The pleasant impres- sion made by Frank Daniels in “The Wiz- ard of the Nile” last season was confirmed by the excellent performance at the Colum- bia Tneater last night. Mr. Daniels is a ccmedian of many resources, and Victor Herbert and Harry Smith have provided him with an opera that gives him free vent for all his humorous powers. The part of Kibosch is one exactly eulted to Mr. Dan- jels’ pecullar abilities, and the tricks of legerdemain he introduces seem to amply justify his constant interrogatory, “Am I a Wizard?” The book furnished by Mr. Smith is exceedingly bright and the idea of the traveling wizard and his series of adven- tures in the land of the Ptolemies is very clever. The story affords opportunity for some rich and elaborate scenic effects and for unique costumes that is fully improved, and the stage presents seme very pleasing pictures. The music of Mr. Herbert is tuneful and catchy and many of the num- Lers were obliged to be repeated. The com- peny has been somewhat changed from last year, but the best of the former cast have been retained. Walter Allen gives a good and funny interpretation of the royal Ptolemy. Miss Edna Thornton is a hand- seme Cleopatra, and she sang the numbers allotted her with ease and effect. The same may be sald of Miss Greta Risley, the second wife of Ptolemy; Miss Louisa Royce, as Abydos, the assistant of Kibosch, and Leorerd Walker, the music teacher.’ The chorus is large and effective, and the whole performance is one of the most enjoyable that has been here this season. The popu- larity of star and opera was demonstrated by the size of the audience, that was the largest that has assembled in the Columbia Theater since its opening night. New. National Theater.—“The Great Dia- mond Robbery,” which was seen at the Academy last season, paid its second visit to this city last night, occupying the stage of the National Theater. The audience that witnessed it was large and enthu- siastic. There have been several changes in the cast, some for the better and others that do not equgl those who assumed the parts last year. “Miss Rose Eytinge takes Mme. Janauschek’s place as Madame Rosenbaum, and the old keeper of the “fence” loses nothing by the change. Miss Selene Johnson ts a beautiful woman, but she does not play the part of the adven- turess wich the same artistic finish given it by Miss Lillian Lawrence. Mr. Frederic Bond was missed as Dick Brumage, but Mr. W. A. Whitecar was an able exponent of the part. Mrs. Annie Yeamans, Mr. Jos. Whiting and Mr. Geo. C. Boniface filled their old parts and were In every respect satisfactory. The‘ play itself is one of the Taost thrilling melodramas of modern times and the interest does not flag from the opening to the closing. Academy cf Music.John W. Isham’s “Oriental America” played its return en- gagement at the Academy of Music last evening to a large and eppreciative audi- ence. In the first part a novelty is intro- duced in the shape of Li Hung Chang, his secretary and interpreter, Tom Brown, Billy Eldridge and J. A. Shipp, who make plenty of fun. Miss Mattie Wilkes’ song, in which the chorus joins without orches- tral accompaniment, 1s quite effective. The parts are balanced in a manner that is seldom heard and the different voices blend admirably. In the second rt Miss Mar- garet Scott gave several musical numbers that were appreciated and Jessie Shipp and Edwerd Winn pleased as descripzive vocalists. Tom Brown in a clever mono- logue is followed by the Manhattan Sports and the 20th Century Bicycle Maids in songs and dances, and then Billy and Jen- nie Eldridge hold the boards with some amusing songs and dances and some ciever comedy work. This part is ended with the original flower ballet. The third part is “Forty Minutes of Opera,” and the whole strength of the company appears. Selec- tions are given from nearly all of the standard worke, but especial mention is due ta the quartet from “Rigoletto.” A. march in this part shows excellent train- ing and develops some entirely new feat- ures in that line. The show is brought to '| a close with the Bridal Chorus from “Lucia | ai Lammermoor. Bijou Theater.—A melodrama of intense interest, full of stirring events and thrill- ing tableaux, 1s the attraction at the Bijou this week. Its title, “Slaves of Gold,” in- dicates that it is founded on a subject cap- able of great things, and the large audience was held in suspense throughout the three acts. The story is strictly up to date, tald in a pleasing manner, with a plot as con- sistent as every-day life. The highest scenic effects are the order of the play, and one cannot but appreciate the tableaux. It is a most realistic picture where the inter- lor of-a wrecked mine shows the heroine and her father prisoners struggling for lib- erty and life. The bursting of a water tank, flooding the mine, increases the ef- fect, and brings forth storms of applause. Like other melodramas, there are heroes, heroines, villains and comedians. In each branch of these essentials the company is strong. Kernan's Lyceum Theater._Few vaude- ville shows before the public outrank the Rentz-Santley Burlesque Company, either in point of excellence or length of service. For many years it has been one of the best entertainments, and the management has always striven to please the public with new faces and noyel acts. Last night a big audience welcomed the show’s first per- formance in this city this seacon at Ker- nan’s and witnessed a first-class enter- tainment. Especially pleasing was the ope! ing extravaganza, “Paris and Pleasure. There were some jokes and several catchy songs before the curtain went down to rise again on the olio. Dawley and Wal- dron sang a new song, “Jack and Jim,” that caught on, and the Engerton sisters were quite natty in their specialty. Joe Sullivan had a number of funny sayings and new gags which made him a favorite, and Katie Elinore sang several new songs. Curtis and Gordon, the latter a pretty wo- man, boxed four scientific rounds, and then Miss Gordon gave a finished exhibition of bag punching. The performance clos with a burlesque entitled “Gay New York. Grand Opera House.—A company of more than ordinary excellence presented the farce-comedy success “A Railroad Ticket” at the Grand Opera House last night. The house was crowded to the doors and laugh- ter ruled supreme- It is seldom that five really funny men are gathered together in one company, but in Louis Wesley, Chas. A. Burk, Gus Pixley, Arthur Moulton and Harry Porter the management possesses a group of fun-makers that can be depend- ed upon to keep any audience in good hu- mor the entire evening. Coupled with this group is Marie Stuart, one of the brightest comediennes playing in farce-comedy this season. Like all farce-comedies the plot is very meager, hinging chiefly on a fortune that is sought after by two young men who want to marry the same girl. On this siender thread are hung humorous situa- tions and startling climaxes and many op- portunities are given for the introduction of specialties. In this line, of course, Miss Stuart headed the procession, although her individual cleverness was not put in evi- dence until the last act. Gus Pixley as the debt collector introduced a specialty in the first act that called forth several encores. In the second act Arthur Moulton, through the vehicle of parodies, sang his way clev- erly into the graces of the audience. Harry Porter followed with recitations of excep- ticnal cleverness, and was heartily applaud- ed. Then followed Louis Wesley with a song and dance that caught the house. Carroll Institute Minstrels.—The Carroll Iratitute Minsterels, who have made quite a reputation, made their initial bow of the season of 1sW-97 last evening before an audience that filled Carroll Institute Hall to the walls. Every member of the organi- zation was heartily welcomed, and cach number of the program encored with en- thusiasm. Messrs. George T. Cox, #. T. Kaiser and Arthur Middleton showed mark- ed improvement in their vocal work, while Messrs. Melville Hensey and Charles Bech- tel, new members, who sang ballads, dem- onstrated their ability in no unmistakable manner. George H. O'Connor, Percy. F. Leach, Harry Leigh and Charles Green, as end men, were funny, both with their songs and original witticisms. Mr. Arthur E. Middleton was accomplished and elegant in the trying position of interlocutor. The second part of the program was contrib- uted by Howard and Leigh as the “Happy Hottentots;” Arthur Plant, in graceful club swinging; Messrs. Leach, McCarthy and O'Connor, in their song and dance, “The Wedding of the Lily and the Rose,” and Charles Green, in a_side-splitting mono- logne. The performance closei witn an original absurdity entitled ‘Room 13; Horrible Night,” with Perey F. Leach, Frank Howard and Harry Leigh in the cast. Mr. Ben Judson conducted the or- chestra, to which {s due credit for a large share of the ruccess of the entertain- ment. The minstrels will appear at the new Columbia TheatereJanuary 1, in a new and handsomely costumed perform- ance, for the benefit of the proposed Mount Pleasant Catholic Church. Rev. Mr. Ennis’ Lecgure.—Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis gave an interesting fllus- trated lecture at the Western Presbytcrian Church last evening before a large and appreciative audience. His subject was the beauty and grandeur of the scenery in the Canadian Rockies and Selkirks and the illustrations were all that could be desired from an artistic point of view. Mr. Ennis hae but recently returned from a trip of over 9,000 miles through Canada and British America, from Nova Scotia to the Pacific ocean, and the lecture last evening was the result of his observations. Epiphany Church.—A musical and liter- ary entertainment will be given this even- ing in the Epiphany Church Guild room, which promises to possess more than the average amount of attractiveness. Thqse who will participate in the excellent pro- gram which has been provided are Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-Cliff, Mrs. Charles Shaler, Miss Halley, Mr. B. Griffith Mr. Caulfield, together with Mr. Arthur Mayo and Mr. Leighbter, pianists. Mrs. Nannie McRoberis will give several readings, and the Madrigals will be heard in several pleasing selections. Miss Forbes’ Recital._Miss Annie Forbes, the popular dramatic reader, will entertain her frierds Friday evening at Carroll Insti- tute Hall. She will be assisted by excellent talent and an enjoyable evening is antici- pated by Miss Forbes’ many friends and admirers. ‘The Ice Palace.—Two new features will be in evidence at the Ice Palace at Con- vention Hall this season. One of these will be the continuous music, which will be Provided by Manager Towers, and the other is the new and improved method of insuring a hard, firm surface on the ice. In addition to the orchestra, which will corsist of fourteen pieces and occupy its accustomed place over the main entrance, an orchestrian equal to a full orchestra of twenty-fcur pieces wll be stationed at the far end of the hall, and this will be put in operation whenever the orchestra sees fit to take a rest. The orchestrian is a handsome, full-toned instrument, and will be appreciated especially by those who go merely for the purpose of watching the skaters and listening to the music. In re- gerd to the new method introduced in the resurfacing of the ice, instead of the tank being started at a low level and reflooded after each session, as was the case last season, it will be started at its full capacity and planed down to the hard, firm ice after each period of vse, until it ie all used up, when the operation, of course, will have to be repeated. The ice will be harder, of ccurse, after each such operation, and it is thought that the new arrar-gement will give much better satisfaction than the old way, as it will do away with the soft crust on top of the ice and algo eliminate the elight ridges which were sometimes unavoidably present. The rink opens for the season tomorrow night,and the manage- ment is making big preparations to enter- tain the rany thousands that are expected to be present. Manager Towers states that the rink will be open every night and af- ternoon during the week, and that the music and the best possible service will be in eviderce whenever it is open to the putlic. —_.—__ The Thanksgiving P: To the Editor of The Evening Star: It 1s rumqred that the clerks of the In- terior Department will get no pay before ‘Thanksgiving this year, because the day comes too far before the end of the month to pay the full month’s due, and the dis- bursing department does not want to make an extra pay day in the month. It is a pity this is the case, and it will result in a very meager purchase of ma- terial for Thanksgiving dinners. Some of the departments pay every week, and it would do no harm, perhaps, if the Interior Department could do likewise. A CLERK. ———_ America’s Foremost Laundry.

Spohn in the chair, adppted resolutions by an _urantinous: vote.:‘cafidemming ‘the action: of the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor at its recent meeting in Rochester, N. Y., in’placing on the unfair list:2 paper published in this city, which employs union labor exclusively and whose compositors are members’ of: Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101. A circular. was read, which.,.was. sent from the headquarters of the American Federation of Labor, calling attention to the alleged unfair and unjust methods of business pursued /by-a certain Hfe insur- ance company in this city, and urging that the members of the ‘€entral Labor- Union refuse to glve the agents of the company any business; also urging the members not to patronize any agents except those who are connected with the American Agents’ Association, an international union of can- vassing agents, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. ‘The circular was indorsed and the recom- mendation made that similar action be taken by the trades unions affiliated with the body. The Central Labor Union also indorsed a ccemmunication from the national secreta~ ries of the National Union of the United Brewery Workmen of..the United States, complaining of the actions of the brewery: proprietors’ pool of Allegheny county, Pa. The communication was accompanied by a letter from President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Lapor, stating that that organization had indorsed the action of the National Brewery Workers in the matter. Delegate John Webber, chairman of the committee appointed to unionize the brew- ery workers in the District of Columbia, reported that he had been assured by the directors of the Consumers’ Brewery that they would employ only union men in the making of their beer. The committee also ascertained that union men were being em- ployed exclusively at Albert's brewery. Mr. Webber further stated that the committee had called on the managers of the other breweries, who expressed a desire that their men would join Local Union, No. 118, but the committee was convinced that if this desire was not expressed to the men by the managers the former would not be lkely to join the organization. The report was accepted and the committee continued with instructions to follow up the line they had marked out in this regard.- Delegate McCrink of the contract com- mittee reported that he had communicated with the proprietors of the various river resorts, requesting that union music be employed there during the coming excur- sicn season, but that he had as yet received ro reply. The committee was continued, and instructed to keep up the good work and insist that the wishes of the Central Labor Union in this matter be carried out. A delegate stated that it was reported to him that the Cranford .Paving Company, which is doing some work fer the District at the corner of 4th -street and Florida avenue northwest, was working their men more thay eight hours, and a special com- mittee was appointed’ to investigate the matter and report at the next meeting of the Central Labor Union.’ It was also reported that a laborer em- ployed to paint the United States Senate stables was being paid only $1.25 per day. A special committee was appointed to in- quire into the rumor, and, if found vorreot, to bring the matter to the attention of the person who has charge of the matter. A delegate from the ‘Barbers’ Union re- ported that a five-cent barber: shop has been started in Washington, and that a ccmmittee from= his unton had :been ap- pointed to investigate the subject. The secretary was directed: to communi- cate with the parties, wha hadireceived let- ters from the Journey men Horseshoers’ As- scelation, as heretofore published in The Star, ond inferm thesm that the Central Labor Union regarded the horseshoers complained of as being fatr.: Delegate Silver, who will represent the Central Labor Ustion in the coming annual corvention of the American Federation of Labor, will, it is urderstood, be instructed at the next meeting of the’ C. L. U. to make an effort to have the headquarters of the American Federation of Labor estab- Usked in Washingtan. 5 Tt was stated at last evening’s meeting of the C. L. U. that several years ago, when the headquarters of the A. F. of L. were established at Indianapolis, Washington was the only competitor, notwithstanding the fact that there was at that time no central body here, and that the first named city got the headquarters by only a few votes. Credentials were received from the Wash- ingtcn Branch of Granite Cutters, Brother- hoog of Carpenters, No. 19; Operative Plasterers’ and Barbers’ Untons, and the delegates from each were obligated.

Some Cloth Sold and Suits That Fol- ~ lewed, }..The Maryland court of appeals handed down an important decision last week gov- erning a number of cases that have recent- ly arisen in that state. About two years ago several men went through the country selling cloth goods, which they represented to be prize exhibits from the world’s fair, ordered by an act of Congress, passed through the instrumentality of Senator Gorman, to be sold to the people of Mary- land. As a matter of fact the goods were of @ very inferior quality,but a number of un- suspecting farmers were easily gulled into buying large lots of the cloth. Those who were without cash money gave their notes upon being assured that they would re- main inthe hands of the cloth men, who would personally present them for payment when due. The sharpers, however, im- mediately indorsed the securities’ and passed them to a New York firm, supposed to be innocent purchasers, for valuc snd without notice. Finding ‘that the goods were almost worthless, the victims would, of course, refuse payment of the notes when they became due, whereupon the New York firm would tmemdiately enter suit and in due time obtain judgment. The case of one Charles Scauberlish, liv- ing near Bladensburg, gave rise to the de- cision referred to. He was sued in the ci cult court for Prince George's county, his defense being fraud and the fact that enly one member of the New York firm had tes- tified at the trial that the notes were re- ceived by the firm for value before :naturi- ty, and without notice, whereus the facts in the case all went to show that the ven- ‘dors of the goods and the holders of the notes were in collusion. The court dis- missed the case, whereupon it was taken to the court of appeals and ably argued ty the attorneys of each side. Chief Judge McSherry, in delivering the opinion of the court, affirmed the decision of the lower tribunal and declared that, though cne member of a firm can testify as to his own ignorance of fraud or collusion, he cannot testify as to the firm's ignorance ef such defenses. Messrs. James C. Rogers and F. Snowden Hill were attorneys for the ap- pellee, ——— Arrested Agnin. Minnie Frost, the young white woman who was arrested about three weeks ago in the “Division” for stealing $20 from a young man, was in the Police Ccurt again this morning. The other time she was sen- terced to jail unless she made restitution and paid a fine.

The church fAir at St. Dominic’s Hall, 6th and F streets southwest, opened last even- ing for its second week, with the Emmet Guard as the visitors of the evening. The booths have all been replenished after the raid made upon them last week, and the management is very much pleased with the generous patronage that has been bestowed upon the fair. The Emmet Guard will give an exhibition drill this evening in the faic room as an extra attraction, while the pro- moters of the Sacred Heart will also be present and lend their endeavors to the success of the venture. The attendance continues to come up to the mark set at the beginning of last week, and there is no fear felt that the sum expected by those in charge of the fair will not be raised.
