E AMUSEMENTS. Bijou Theater A change of bill was made at the Bijou Theater last night, the melodrama “Grit; or, True as Steel” being Presented. The hovse was crowded with one of the best audiences of the season, and the play ts interesting and full of life and action. It is built on melodramatic lines, but the characters are all taken with @ fidelity and intelligence that places it above the ordinary plays of this class. There is a fine vein of pathos running through the work which makes it especial- ly enjoyable, and some of the impersona- tions are fine bits of character del.nea- tion. The mechanical effects are all that could be desired, while the orchestra add- ed not a little to the enjoyment of the play by its excellent music. M. B. Streeter easily stands at the head of the company, and his work last night showed him to be capable and conscientious actor. He took many parts, but filled them all acceptably. Earl Burgess, as the gouty millionaire, does some gocd character work, while E. L. Lee, F. Binkhurst and Charles Leyburne are all good in their respective parts. Miss Beatrice Earle is pleasing in all her forts. Miss) M. L. Stevens and Miss Jeanette Johnson are both acceptable,while one of the hits of the play was made by Baby Jonnson, who sirgs and dances with a grace and intelligence far beyond her years. Theosophica: Society Entertainment.—An entertainment was given at the rooms of the Theosophical Society in the Lenman building, 1425 New York avenue, last night for the purpose of raising funds for the theosophical crusade which is to be car- ried on by the organization. An enjoyable Program of dramatic recitals, music and other features was given, and the large audience manifested its approval at every opportunity. Refreshments were served at the conclusion of the entertainment, and quite a sum of money was realized for the purpose indicated. Those who contributed to the program were E. H. Townsend, Miss Ada L. Townsend, Henry Kaiser, Mrs. Hempstone, Mrs. Depue, Jules Dieudonne and U. J. Dunbar. Sanders and Stayman’s Concert.—The regular Saturday concert will be given at the warerooms of Sanders & Stayman, on F street, tomorrow. These programs are highly entertaining and are listened to by a large number of persons. They are ar- ranged and superintended by Mr. Percy 8S. Foster, the Washington manager of the firm, Se Connecticut Republicans. The Connecticut Republican Association held a largely attended meeting Wednes- day night at the rooms occupied during the campaign by the Connecticut Sound Money League, No. 207 4% street. Plans were dis- cussed for the holding of a banquet imme- diately after the holiday recess of Con- gress. At this banquet the members of the Connecticut ccngressional delegation, with their wives, are expected to be present. The officers elected were as follows: Presi- dent, Capt. C. W. Filer; first vice presi- dent, Gen. Edward W. Whitaker; second vice president, Henry W. Hall; secretary, ‘Theodore E. Spencer; treasurer, George N. Stranahan; executive committee, first con- gressional district, Luther M. Fenfield; sec- ond district, J. S. A. Baker; third district, Walter E. Clark; fourth district, ‘Theodore E. Spencer. A vote of thanks was extended to Gen. Whitaker, the “old war horse of the association,” for nis active services for the organization. a American Revolution. A full representative meeting of the local chapters of the Daughters of the Revolu- tion was held last night in the Ebbitt Hovse for the purpose of planning for a colonial bali. There was some discussion as to the date, and the meeting adjourned without coming to any decision in the mat- ter other than determining not to hold it February 23. — Was Begging in Brookland. Joseph Coleburn 1s a good Anglo-Saxon name, but the man who answered when the name was called in the Police Court this morning was evidently an Italian. He had about him all the paraphernalia of a professional hobo. He was arrested yes- terday in Brookland, where he was begging from house to hovse. Coleburn said that he was looking for work, and yesterday got so hungry that he was compelled to ask for a crust of bread. “Where are you from, Coleburn?” “From Cuba.” Coleburn evidently expected that this statement would help him with the court, but when he said that he deserted the fair Queen of the Antilles last February in the hour of her need Coleburn’s stock fell way below par. It is doubtful whether Cole- burn ever saw Cuba, but he has a good working imagination and for the next thir- ty days he can regale the other inmates of the workhouse with stories of how he might have saved Maceo, is a Christian Nation.” ‘To the Biltor of The Evening Star: The above are the very words of the unanimous opinion of the United States Supreme Court, rendered through Mr. Jus- tice Brewer on February 29, 1892, in the ‘Trinity Church case (Reports xcliii: 457). Any one who will take the trouble to look up this most significant case will see how utterly absurd is the infidel interpretation put upon it by my critic in your issue of the 16th instant. The case was an effort to exclude an imported preacher under the law against imported contract “labor.” The Supreme Court decided that the law did not apply to preachers, first, because the debates showed that it was “labor's in the Topular sense that was intended in the ex- clusion act; but, secondly, they said the law could not be construed in any case as interfering with the preacher because this is a Christian nation, in support of which the cluquent writer of the opinion set forth a whole gulf stream of official acts of the various branches of government, together with numerous Christicn customs, at the close of which he said: “These and many other matters which might be noticed add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation.” In the face of this my tic, pretending to quote verbatim, says: i that the Supreme Court (through Mr. Justice Brewer) alleged was that ‘there have been a great many declarations, un- official and organic, that this is a Chris- tian nation.’ The inference of my critic is as false as his quotation marks. ‘This decision of the supreme judiciary, with the Sunday rest orders of Washington, Jack- son, Lincoin, Harrison and Cleveland, crowned by the Christian proclamation of the court named, and the Sabbath-closing law of Congress, are a threefold cord of irrefragable evidence that ours is a Chris- tian nation WILBUR F.

The club house is situated at 809 Ist street northwest, and is a commodious three-story structure, fully furnished, and equipped with all the neces- sary adjuncts to a well-regulated club.

A large attendance was present last night, and the evening was passed in dancing and Ustening to an interesung program of musical and literary numbers. The Young Men's Cathoiic Club had its headquarters at Gonzaga Hall, but, owing to the lack of interest taken in the organi- zation, and the fact that the college needed the rooms occupied by the club, it was dis- banded, and articies of incorporation for the Catholic Club of Washington filed, with M. A. Keane, F. A. W. Van Reuth and W. F. Sullivan as incorporators. A meeting of the new club will be held Sunday morning at 1 o'clock, when a constitution and by- laws will be adopted, and an election of officers will be heid. The gymnasium and bowling alley of the club wiil remain for the present at Gon- zuga Hall, but it is proposed to put the latter feature in the basement of the new club house as soon as arrangements can be perfected. The first floor will be taken up by the library, which will be largely in- creased, and the yard in the rear of the club house wili be given up to hand ball and tennis. Just at present the members are awaiung anxiously the time when the ladies of St. Aioysius’ parish shall take it into their heads to furnish the decorations for the rooms and several small pieces of furniture, and the like, of which the new club house is very much in need. —_»____ Gude produces best floral designs. —Advertisement.
