M. C. A. are going to home of their brethren in Bal- order to inform themselves of the tira In the good things they are missing by not having as yet obtained the long-wished- for “new building.” As the brevhren in the monumental city have a fine building, well adapted to ther purpose, and finely fitted up, it is believed that when the Washing- ton contingent returns the citizens may expect to be invited to at once begin the erection cf a new home for the young men of thig city: and it would not be at all sur- prising if the local members made such a stir that the coming fall would see the new cupola flying the “red triangle” from the top of a commodious six or seven-story buiiding.

The past work of the Goodwin Comedy Company needs no comment, for it has al- ways proved interesting and capable. The ergagement opens with a new play, which scored a great hit at its first production in Sydney, Australia, and also received favor- able comment in the American cities wherever presented. The new play is from the pen of Madeline Lucette Ryley, and is called “An American Citizen.” It deals with the eccentricity of an Englishman, who kes a will full of English preju- dices against things American. The great interest is manifested in the refusal of Beresford Cruger (Mr. N. C. Goodwin), an American citizen, to receive a big legacy from an English relative because of the considerations of the will, that he must renounce his nationality, change his name and riarry an English lady before he is thirty. The ccumplications arising from the generous-hearted American lawyer in wish- ing to overcome all the difficulties in favor of the rightful heir. are most enjoyable, and they are given with that vein of native humor which has made the name of Good- win so famous. Of course, American pluck and inventive genius surmounts every- thing, and all turns out as happy as possi- ble. On Saturday night, the final perform- ance, Mr. Goodwin will present “The Rivals,” appearing as Bob Acres. “The Sidewalks of New York.”—One of the most conspicuous successes among new Piays last season was made by Thomas H. Davis and William T. Keogh’s production of “The Sidewalks of New York,” the com- edy drama by Scott Marble. which will be the attraction at the Academy next week. The New York press, in commenting on the enormous crowds which thronged the Four- teenth Street Theater during its run in that city, said that “the business of ‘The Side- walks of New York’ - nas been very large, and the sensational dive and real bear an the company are all good. This play should have come into New York for a longer run, as its portrayal of life in New York appeals strongly to the people.” The scenic features were pronounced “‘the best yet seen on the stage, and when the cur- AFFAIRS INGEORGETOWN Pound Party Arranged for the Benefit of the Poor. Local Notes of General Interest From Across the Bridge Told in Brief. Arrargements have been completed at Grece P. E. Church, corner of 82d and Grace streets, for the holding of a pound party temorrow afternoon from 4 until & o'clock for the benefit of the poor of this section of the city. The affair is given under the auspices of the rector of the chrreh and the members of the congrega- tion, and it is hoped that there will be a liberal response. The donations will be re- ceived at the church py a committee ap- pointed for the purpose, from 4 until 8 o'clock in the evening. There are a num- ber of deserving families in dire distress and want at the present time that the worthy charity can relieve, and the dona- tions received will be tmmediately distrib- uted where they will do the most good. Thevgh given under the auspices of the cherch, all of the charitably inclined peo- ple are ears.estly requested to help make it a success, and all donations sent to the church will be properly credited. Well Attended. The lecture of Mr. A. W. Hawk, the laughing philosopher of Baltimoré, given last evenirg at the Gay Street Baptist Church, was weil attended, despite the bad weatter. Those who attended spent an ex- ceedingly enjoyable evening. The person- ality of the lecturer, together with his flow of largvage and bright remarks, kept all in a gcod humor. The lecture was entitled “People Whom I Have Met,” and the | tain rose and revealed the Herald building speaker related a number of humorous | and the bronze figures struck the hour of stcries in connection with his | sub- midnight, with all the concomitants of a blaze of electric lights and the blinking cf the fiery-eyed owls, the audience applauded to the echo.” “Siberia.”—Romance and life in far-off Russia will be shown here next week at the Grand Opera House in the grand re- vival of “Siberia,” and the melodrama that won success a decade and a half ago is proving that it can stand the test of time. The beautiful play by Bartley Campbell, in which he selected Russian despotism as ~ motive, has been revived on a gorgeous scale by Messrs. MacDonald & Kennedy, and never before has the play been seen as it is presented this season. In the way of scenery, nothing better could be had, for the stage settings are elaborate, while the costumes are correct and all new. Ncething has been left undone by Messrs. MacDonald & Kennedy to make this a dra- matic treat, and the result is that “Si- beria” after two years’ absence from the stage forms one of the strongest attrac- tions on the road. The cast, which is ex- cepticnally strong, includes Mr. James Horne, Miss Jennie Kennark, Mr. Harry Daltcn, Mr. Frank McCormack and Miss Margaret May. Robie’s Bohemian Burlesquers.—At _ the Lyceum next week Robie’s Bohemian Bur- lesquers will hold forth, and they promise to keep the audience in a continuous sta:e of giee end mirth during the entire per- formance. The management has met with well-merited reward financially, and it really deserves it, for it is a pleasure to ene witnessing a performance so well ar- ranged and so well presented. Had the parts Leen written for the respective ar- tists they could not have dovetailed neater. The performance begins with a musical skit, entitled “Life in Bohemia,” introduc- ing Harry Bryant as a Wall street broker; Phil Mills, a grasping Baxter street Jew; Billy Van, a brand-new young doctor; Mae Lowery, a Gashing grass widow; Vevi Nor- briga, as Daisy Kicker, a popular sou- brette; Hattie Mills and Jere Mahony, as the Jew’s children. Incidental to the above will be introduced the following special- ties: “Algy Ticker O,” Billy Van; duet, “Sweet Refrain,” Billy Van and Vevi Nor- briga; “Pas Du Quatre,” Hill Sisters and Rivers Sisters; Chanson Eccentric, Mae Lowery, assisted by Misses Ardell, Em- mons, Wood and Douglass; Coster’ song, ject that pleased all and offended none. The success of his lecture has paved the way for another one, to be delivered at the same place in the near future. There Was Trouble. Tkere was trouble last evening at Grace court, Letween 32d, 33d and M streets and the carpal, which wound up in one person lodging in the station house, while another was taken to the Emergency Hospital for repeirs. Richard Greer, colored, aged nine- teen, was the sole cause. While in a house in the court he picked up a carving knife and attempted to carve his cousin, Joseph Gatewoed, the affair happening about 6 o'clock. Green’s mother attempted to act the role of peacemaker, and she was slash- ed across the wrist, while Gatewood felt the edge of the knife across his left wrist in ancther attempt. Green was arrested for tis part of the affair, and Gatewood sent to the hospital. The Ice Harvest. The rain of yesterday accomplished sev- eral things, pleasing a good many people, but displeasing others. It practically kill- ed the harvesting of ice for the rest of the season, and those who failed to fill their ice houses In time are sorry for its appear- ance, However, most of the business men who started this completed or nearly com- pleted the work. The rainfall in the coun- ty is received very thankfully, as it will mean an increase in the water supply. Dering the cold wave the wells gave out, and in Tenleytown there was a water fam- ine threatened, but this has been averted, and all of the wells are expected to fill up again and give their usual supply. Local Alarm. This morning, shortly before 11 o'clock, engine company No. 5 responded to a local alarm for a fire in the carriage shed of the residence of Thomas Waggaman, on 43d street just below O street. The fire was caused by an overheated stove, and was extinguished without the engine going poe service. The damage is comparatively slight. Snow Law. The police of this section have secured a number of warrants for those who violated the snow law in failing to clean the pave- ment in front of their property within the time required. So far only about -half a dozen arrests have been made, but more will Earnest Deahle, a saloon fined $1 for violating the law, ases against Thomas E. Wag- gaman and one each against John Hazel and Richard B. Travis were nolle prossed. This morning Sister Teresa White, the treasurer of the Academy of the Visitation, was arrested by Officer Cornwell for a vio- lation of the same law, $1 collateral being left at the station. Notes. The song and stereopticon service last evening at the Congress Street M. P. Church, conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Dob- bins, was well attended, considering the character of the weather. The silver col- lection that followed netted a good sum. Wolf Nordlinger has bought of Isaac W. Nordlinger and Edwin J.

This is the story of Christoph, which kas been dramatized by Miss Eliza- beth Tyler and scored as a sacred opera by Mr. Emile Christiani of this city..To an interesting plot, music of a popular classi- cal style has been set, and a competent cast will produce it for the first time at the Universalist Church next Monday even- ing. Seats are now selling at Droop’s. “The Star of Bethlehem.”—The epiphany cratorio, “The Star of Bethlehem,” com- posed by Professor Donald B. MacLeod, choirmaster of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, with libretto by Miss Elizabeth MacLeod, was produced at St. Mark’s Pro-Cathedral Church, Capito! Hill, last evening, before a large and appreciative audience. The chorus music was rendered by tne white- robed choir of St. Paul's, assisted by the following gentlemen in the solo parts: Messrs. William D. McFarland,_Dr. Gabriel F. Johnston, Charles W. Moore and Charles E. Rice. Miss Mildred Johnston, the or- ganist of St. Mark’s, presided at the organ, ard at the offertory Miss Emma Brock sang the arta, “O Thou That Tellest, from the “Messiah,” with accompaniment by Miss Mary Ross, the assistant organist of St. Paul's. The instrumental score of the oratorio was rendered by an orchestra under Mr. MacLeod’s direction. This work has been produced in Washington twice be- fore, but never under such’ favorable cir- cumstances as at this time. Excellent so- loists, a large and well-trained chorus, in- cluding a number of ladies who kindly vol- unteered their assistance, a well-balanced orchestra and fine organ, added much to make the occasion a memorable one. In re- sponse to a generally expressed desire to hear the cantata again, it is probable that it will be repeated at St. Paul’s Church at an early date. ——— Advertisements Have Drawback.

Ses Sees Ancient Philosophy. The Scciety for Philosophical Inquiry met in the Columbian University yesterday and listened to an interesting paper on “‘Philos- ophy as Affected by Nationality,” by Rev. Frank Sewall of the New Church, Mr.Sewall traced the philosophic tendency in the Aryan races to the Hellenic realization in sculpture, art and the drama. He spoke of the prophetic vision in the Greeks, and of the Ionians’ search for divinity and origiti. Through the Indo-European race he followed the philosophic influence upon the Teutonic, Slavonic, Hellenic and Gaelic races. The burden of modern philosophy has been borne by the Teutonic and Celtic races, and the latter has supplanted the AMUSEMENTS, The Stcddard Lectures—The second of the Stoddard lectures was given at the Co- lumbia Theater last night before an audi- ence which, if not a large one—and a large audience would certainly have been a won- erful thing last night—was thoroughly in accord with the iecturer and iistened to his splendid descriptions and watched his mag- nificent pictures with an interest that was urabated throughout the evening. The lec- ture on Scotland was repeated, and proved to be just as enjoyable as those who listen- ed to it Monday evening had found tt to be. ‘Tonight and tomorrow evening Mr. Stod- dzrd will give his lecture on “Old England,” and an exceptionally fine series of pictures be used to picture Mr. Stoadard’s re- arks.

The crchestra_on this occasion will be assisied by Mise Emile Russell, soprano; Mrs. Frafi- ces Hempstone, contralto; Miss Elizabeth Gardner, pianist; Miss Louise Carson, Miss Grace Hopkins, Mr. Fitzhugh Goldsborough and Mr. Andre Dumaine, violinists. This erchestra, under the able control of Mr. Ernest Lent, has always enjoyed a high reputation in this city for the excellence of, the music given by it, and the program will at this concert bear out the reputation sus- tained in the past.

Memorial Urging It Be Kept Open at Night—Report of the Com- mittee, It is the purpose of the citizens of East Washington to leave no stone unturned to have the Congressional Library kept open for the benefit of the public at night. At the regular monthly meeting of the East Washington Assoclation slast night initia- tory steps were taken to bring this neces- sary legislation before Congress. In opening the meeting President Bebson complimented the association upon the effi- elency of the several committees, which were already doing good work and con- tributing materially to the success of the association. The secretary read a com- munication from Presideat Henderson of the North Capitol and ckington Citizens’ Association upon the appointment of a Commissioner, and pledging the support of his association to an East Washington man. President Babson took occasion to remark in this connection that if the six or seven associations in the eastern section of the city would unite upon this subject the matter would have considerable weight. Chairman Patton of the committee op schools was recognized and submitted what proved to be the important business of the meeting. It was a report upon the question of opening the Congressional Library at night, and when he concluded reading it he was loudly appilauled. The report recites the number of volumes contained in the library, and sets forth that in a few months they will be installed in the library, which in Itself is a monument of the noblest achievements of American architecture and decorative art. “The educational value of a library of such vast dimenstons and scope housed in the heart of the capital city can be measured by the extent to which its books are intelligently used, and in no other way. If widely used, it becomes the crowning educational institution of the Dis- trict, because it supplements them all, from the l ndergarten to the college. It is, in fact, the great school of literature in the long-looked-for National University at Washington. Every student, every teacher, every citizen, should get help end inspira- tion from it. In the course of years it should perceptibly raise the average intel- ligence of the whole community. But its influence will be in proportion to its use. Continuing, the report says: “If opened to the public as now only during the busy work day hours, from # o’clock to 4, its usefulness as an educator will be limited. An army of government clerks, constituting a more intelligent and scholarly body of employes than can be found in any other community, the work- ing men of the District, thousands of whom are eager for opportunities for self improve- ment, men and women behind the count- ers of our mercantile establishments, stu- dents in our colleges, high schools and private schools, and thousands of public school children in the higher grades will be practically debarred from the use of one of the greatest educational plants of our age and nation. “We believe that not only should the reading rooms ke opened, but on certain evenirgs of the week, the splendid halls and corridors, with their wealth of mural decoreticns, under the brilliant electric lights already provided, should be thrown open free to the public. The interior of our new palace of letters: exhibits the la- test production of American achievements in this direction. Therefore our citizens of all classes should not only have access to it, but should be encouraged to visit it in the interest of the elevation of the public taste for the beautiful in-art. The appro- priation act, which has passed the House and the Senate, and is now in conference, increases the force of attendants from 42 to 187, and makes abundant provision for lighting the building, but makes no specific provision for opening the library at might. We take it that the motto of the East Washington Citizens’ Association is ‘The greatest good to the greatest num- ber.’ Your committee cn schools there- fore desires to present the following pre- amble and resolutions for your considera- Election of Officers.

This was particularly so of Rev. E. O. Eldridge, who spoke at length upon the educational ad- vantages to be derived from the opening of the library at night. Gen. S. S.
