Been Canceled, The reception of the members of the 8o- ciety of Children of the American Revolu- tion by Mrs. Cleveland at the White House, which was arranged to take place today at 2:25 p.m., has been canceled, as Mrs. Cleveland was unable to interrupt her own engagements with reference to her new home at Princeton, and left the city yester- day to be absent during the week. Arrangements have been completed for the historical exercises at Mt. Vernon Fri- day. and it is expected there will be a large gathering of children there on that occa- sion. A place has been designated by the regents of Mt. Vernon where the society may plant a tree and appropriate exercises will be had on the spot. The actual plant- ing will not take place until spring opens, and then with appropriate ceremonies under the auspices of the District socteties. ‘The tree, furnished by a member of the so- ciety in Concord, Mass., will come from near the Old North bridge, the scene of the first battle of the revolution. A piece of the timbers of Old North bridge has been sent as a present to the District societies, and will be made into a gavel. A number of new societies have enrolled themselves in the national organization. The national emblem, a trophy of high honor, much prized by members, goes to the state of Connecticut, which has thir- teen societies, two more than the District of Columbia, which came near carrying off the prize. The children spent this morning in sight- seeing under the guidance of a corps of ladies and gentlemen, who delighted in In- structing the young folks in the historic interest of various parts of Washington. This afternoon the convention met at 2 o'clock at the First Congregational Church and resumed the routine of business. — AMUSEMENTS. Boston Symphony Orchestra.—Madame Teresa Carreno's name is one which has long been associated eminently with the highest development of the piano-forte. Her appearance at the Columbia Theater last night gave an added interest to an occasion which ts of itself recognized as a musical event of the first importance—a perform- ence by the Boston Sympnory Orchestra. Mme. Carreno’s work is astonishing in sev- eral respects. She is one of the most con- spicuous musical phenomena developed since Mozart. although a child, approached maturity of musical intelligence more close- ty than his seniors. Mme. Carreno bids de- fiance to traditions, which tell that a wo- man 1s not physically -apable of nor men- tally adapted to the interpretation of the most virile styles of composition. She is as firm and robust in her interpretation and technique as some of our male planists are tentative and effeminate. Gifted by nature with a physique which equips her for ex- traordinary effort, she employe them for their fullest development. Of late year< she has shown more seatimental appre- ciation of the spirit of her music, and her performance last night had the fas-ination which comes when high emotional feeling finds the fullest mechanical resources at command for its expression. Her selection last night, the Rubinstein Concerto in D minor, called for the exercise of her fullest powers, both as an interpreter and as an executant, and they were found to be abundantly competent to give a reading and a performance of that great composi- tion that was masterly in the extreme. Mme. Carreno received a perfect ovation from the immense audience that filled the theater, and after four or five returns she yielded to the enthusiastic demand for more and gave a Chopin Noctune, with all the poetic feeling that it required. Although Mme. Carreno was the chief attraction of the concert, the orchestral part of the pro- gram was perhaps the most enjoyable that has been presented by Mr. Paur during the present season. It included Beethoven's noble Symphony No. 4 m B flat major, which was as perfectly interpreted and performed as it could be; Goldmark’s pre- lude to the third act of his opera, “The Cricket on the Hearth,” and Liszt's Hun- garian Rhapsody No. 6, known as the Pesth Carnival. The last two were given here for the first time, and both were thor- oughly appreciated, and will be gladly heard again by this matchless orchestra. “Heart of Maryland."—“The Heart of Maryland” Is to be the attraction at the Lafayette Square Opera House next week, and if it has anything like the success it has had elsewhere this season it will cause the seating capacity of that building a se- vere sirain. Four and five-week engage- ments have been the rule followed by the managemeni, though in St. Louis, Pitts- burg, Newark and Brooklyn its stay was somewhat shorter. Before that it had a run of three hundred nights in New York as a beginning to its career. The scene of the play {is laid near Boonsboro’, Md., and soime of the scenery is an exact re- production of that region. The old house, “The Lilacs,” the home of Maryland Cal- very. was studied from a colonial manston of that name. Mrs. Leslie Carter is her- self a southern woman, with all the fire, tenderness and imagination of the south- erner, and her own temperament is in many ways very like that of the heroine she represents. The part was written for her, and she was trained for the part, which in itself, under such a master as Belasco, would almost insure success. But the role is an extremely difficult one, and very few women would have either the courage or the strength to undertake it. Mrs. Carter’s devotion to her art is one of her strongest traits, and it has carried her through privations and hardships that would have daunted most people. Seats are now on sale. Sol Smith Russell—Sol Smith Russell will pay his annual visit to this city inaugural week, coming to the New National ea ter. The importance which ordinarily at- taches to Mr. Russell's appearance in this city is intensified this season by the fact that he will present an entirely new and very successful comedy, entitled “A Bach- elor’s Romance.” The play was written by Martha Morton, and its success 1s so as- sured through the enthusiasm it has evoked during its few months’ existence that Mr. Russell has withdrawn all of his other suc- cesses, with any one of which he found it no difficult matter to fill the largest thea- ters, and ts devoting himself solely to the new play. David Holmes, the character which Mr. Russel] portrays in “A Bach- elor’s Romance,” introduces him as a man who has been cut off by a wealthy father, and who is forced to take up journalism for a livelihood. Eventually he rises by dint of hard work and close application to Fis duties to the position of editor and writer of “The Review.” In this capacity he is called upon to decide who is entitled to a prize of $10,000, which his paper has of- fered for the best serial story, and when he comes to placing the award finds that the winner is Howard Reynolds, who is in love with the same young lady to whom David is devoted. He has it in his power to withhold the prize, and thus put a damper on Reynolds’ determination to ask the girl to be his wife. But, after a great mental struggle, his manliness triumphs, and Reynolds carries off both the prize and the girl. Mr. Russell has given the play an exquisite setting, and Bis company is represented as superior to that of former years. It includes Bertha ighton, Bea- trice Moreland, Fanny Addison Pitt, Ger- trude Rivers, Arthur Forrest, George Ali- son, George Denham and Alfred Hudson. “Lost, Strayed or Stolen—A Baby.”— “Lost, Strayed or Stolen” will be present- ed at the Columbia for one week, begin- ning next Monday night. The company in- cludes Louts Harrison, Georgia Caine, Fan- nie Bulkeley, Rose Beaudet, Belle Black, Bert Thayer and many other well-known Royal, The Absolutely Pure Baking Powder. (Extract from Report on Baking Pow- ders, by Prof. Clifford Richardsca, Dist. Chemist, Washingteo, D. C.) “The leavening power of the Royal is greatest of any. * * These investigations show the Royal Baking Powder is the best.” the audience to McGregor an aristocratic conscript, played by Bert Thayer; a cranky little military martinet, by lw. Wilks, and a crusty old corporal, by Barney McDonough. These, with numerous commissioned and non-commissioned officers, privates and ci- vilians, make their appearance for the firet time and discuss their grievances in tuneful song. The godfathers having been informed that the baby was left in charge of a pioneer of this regiment, they inv: the barracks with distracted Father Bi: art, and, in order to escape censure and to save a non-commissioned officer from punishment, they are obliged to don ill- fitting uniforms and -finally become un- willing participants in an unpleasant me- lee. The third act shows the apartments of an opera bouffe prima donna, imperson- ated by Georgia Caine; her maid Julie, by Sue Belle Mead; a soubrette, by Mattie Vera; contralto, by Maud Chandler, a jealous Cuban lover, by Henry Bergman, together with the members of the opera houffe company, including a troape of Spanish dancers. This act opens with a song from a new Spanish comic opera, in which all the characters are supposed to appear on the following evening. Act fourth and last is the playground in front of the fountain at the foot of the terrace in the gardens of the Luxembourg. Here nursemaids, soldiers, gendarmes, children and typical Parisians of both sexes and all classes are introduced. Everybody is happy, with the exception of the three would-be godfathers and Bidart, whose well-laid plans have been thwarted. The original cast, as well as all the scenery, Properties and other paraphernalia used in the original New York production of this famous funny play, will be brought to Washington intact. The Nordica Concert—Madame Lillian Nordica, who is considered the first dra- matic prima donna of the world, will be heard here at the Lafayette tomorrow afternoon at 4 o’clock. The name of Nordica in the whole civilized world is one to con- jure with. It is not every one who can grasp the idea that there is an American woman who stands at the head of her art, with her fame as wide-spreading as is the musical cult of the world. She not alone sings in her native tongue, but has mas- tered five others, and is able to Bive ex- pression in the most exacting form in all the languages she has acquired. She can- not only sing in the many tongues, but is absolutely accepted as the highest expo- nent of the grand dramatic heroines which the great modern musical masters, espe- clally Wagner, have created. At the last Beyreuth festival Madame Nordica appear- ed before the critics and the musical di- lettante of the world and was at once pro- claimed the most perfect and ideal imper- sonator of all Wagnerian heroines. Nor- dica is not only a phenomenal singer, but her superb appearance, her histrionic ability and, above all, her poetic temper- ament make her the greatest figure on the lyric stage. There are but few remain- ing seats, and the management has decid- ed to make the general admission $1. The Great Diamond Great Diamond Robbery,” inent successes of the past season, and a play thrilling, interse, natural and life- like, comes to the Academy of Music next week, with its famous cast and splenald scenic production. The famous tragedienne, Mme. Janauschek, has been induced _ to Postpone her annual starring tour in Ger- many, and will appear in her original role of Madame Rosenbaum in this popular play. It owes its origin to the fruitful minds of those clever American authors, A. C. Wheeler and BE. M. Alfriend. Into it they have incorporated a story strong in climaxes. Through its varied scenes the interest of the auditor is held to the very last moment of the final curtain. It Pic- tures life as it exists in every section of society in large cities. The scenery is re- markabie for the accuracy of its stage pic- tures presented, among which are a man- sion on 5th avenue, an underground den in New York's criminal quarter, and a fine reproduction of the Hoffman House cafe. All that stage craft could do to make the production a brilliant one has been ac- complished by Managers A. M. Palmer and Edwin Knowles, whose reputation as suc- cessful producers is universal. The big company includes such sterling artists as Mrs. Annie Yeamans, Loulse Closser, Fan- ny Cohen, Cora Edsall, Jos. E. Whiting, Geo. C. Boniface, E. A. Locke, T. M. Hun- ter, Gustave Frankel, James Bevins, J. H. Cossar, E. M. Bartlett. Miaco's Pantomime Company.—Manager Robt. M. Whitesell of the Bijou has se- cured the Miaco Spectacular, Pantomime and Specialty Company for next week. This is a large and well-balanced com- pany of pantomime and specialty artists, employing in the presentation of the pan- tomime a great amount of scenic and me- chanical effects. The Miaco family have been prominent pantomimists for a decade, and the famous Martinetti troupe are per- haps the most skilled in this line. With a large and well-balanced corps of assistants, aided by beautiful women, there should be no lack of enthusiasm at the popular Bijou next week. Daily matinees will be given. Robbery.—The one of the prom- The Big Sensation.—For his inauguration Week attraction Manager Kernan has se- lected Flynn and Sheridan's Big Sensation Double Show. This is undoubtedly one of the most extravagant and expensive bur- lesque organizations in existence. The com- pany is composed of twenty white artists and twenty Afro-American entertainers. The performance presented by this double aggregation of talent is a decidedly novel one and abounds in extraordinary features. The Creole contingent is the first to ap- pear, after which Mlle. Zittella, the charm- ing burlesque queen, and her corps of white artists make their entree. Many of the latest musical numbers are here intro- duced, interspersed by wholesome, witty dialogue. An exceptional olio follows, in which will appear Cunningham and Grant, the famous acrobatic comedians, better known as the original “Brutal Brothers.” The Sisters Howe, vocalists par excellence; Senorita Flora, the premier high wire ex- pert; Lancaster and Collins, the marvelous grotesque; Miss May Lanning, the petite singer of catchy songs; a grand clog tour- nament, led by Miss Sophia Thorne, the champion female clog dancer of the world; Billie Farrell, assisted by Miss Willie Far- rell, in their original creation entitled the Cake Walker's Dream; Smart and Wil- liams, Afro-American comedians and danc- ers, and a novel terpsichorean evolution by There are thousands of sickly school girls all over this broad land that are dragging their way through school life who might enjoy that abundant life which belongs to youth by simple attention to hygienic laws and a proper course of treatment with Scott’s Emulsion.

The entertainment concludes with an up-toedate burlesque. Dr. Ennis’ Lecture.—Trie Western Pres- byterian Church was again filled ‘to the doors last evening by a most appreciative audience to listen to the second recital by the Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis of his original adaptation of ‘Lytton’s famou: “Last Days of Pompeii,” illustrated with the stereopticon. With ‘all the wealth of latter day- Hterature nothing has yet sur- passed this favorite in strength of plot, in- tensity of interest and purity of style and treatment. In adapting tt for platform use Mr. Ennis has lost none of these qualities the interest is held from:beginning to end. The adapter in his rendition of the recital made the most of the stirring situationa, adding a-great deal to ‘the success of the Production. Mr. Ennis has affeady received requests to repeat his irecital in various parts of the city. Col. Ingersoli's Lecture.—Robert G. Inger- soll has been gifted by nature with @ powerful brain and a charm of ora- tory that enables him to express the results of his study with clearness and force. The people of this city know this, and there is little hazard in predicting an overflowing attendance on the’ occasion of his appearance on the lecture platform in this city at the New National Theater Sun- day evening, February 28, when he will present, for the first time in Washington, his new and brilliant discourse “How to Referm Mankind.” “Battles of Our Nation.”—There is no at- traction before the public today which appeals so strongly to the hearts of all Americans as the grand musical spectacle, Battles of Our Nation,” which is produced by Conterno’s Famous Concert Band of New York. All that is noble and loyal in the history of our forefathers, in their early struggle for liberty and freedom, and the recognition of their just rights, is most forcibly brought forth, depicted and hon- ored, while their personal sacrifices are re- vered and eulogized. The music of the piece has been written and arranged by the young American composer, Dr. B. Conterno, and is extremely appropriate and effective, while the scenic effects are a wonder of historic truth and beauty. There are ten operatic artists and Spanish dancers in the company, also tableau vivant display, local military and G. A. R. veterans, while the rattling of musketry, booming of the battery of artillery, and the grand chorus help to make “Battles of Our Nation” the greatest open air attraction now before the public. The “Battles of Our Nation” opens its engagement on Monday, March 1, at Center Market Hall, and will continue dur- ing inauguration week. Concert at Woodley Inn.—The Ladies’ Guild of St. Alban’s Church will give a con- cert at Woodley Inn tomorrow night at 8 o'clock for the benefit of the parish fund. Mrs. G. W. Magruder and Mrs. Brooke are the directors of the entertainment, and will be ably assisted by Mrs. Daisy Louise Fox, the pianist. Mrs. Fox has secured the serv- ices of Miss Fannie Yorke At Lee, Miss Blanche Muir, Miss Stella Fisher, Miss Georgia Barrett, Miss Tyler, Prof. Statham, Prof. Phillips and Master Bruce Magruder. The Crystal Maze.—The Crystal Maze, which has just opened at 427 7th street northwest, is one of the best amusement features to be.found in this city. There is more fun and mirth stored up in the labyrinths that are made by the glass com- partments than is to be fcund in almost any other similar place, and the steady stream of people that visited the new attraction within the past two or three days amply bear witness to this fact. The apartment is but a small one, but the arrangement of the mirrors is such that it appears to be miles and miles in dimensions. The visitor upon entering the door and proceeding a few steps, if he be accompanied by any one, seems to be in the midst of an immense crowd. He instinctively looks around, but a step to this side or that reveals the fact that only himself and his friend are pres- ent. The mirrors are reflecting his image possibly twenty times, ‘and he can see’ him- self at almost every angle. The mirrors give a reflecting surface of 88,123 square feet, with 180 feet of passageways. A man might lose himself and walk about for a month but for the fact that attendants are always on hand to pilot the visitors around should they require their services. In fact, the way out fs so simple that one hardly realizes the fact that he has but to take two steps and is safely out of the mystical bounds. A person can shake hands with himself or a friend about sixteen times in this wonderful place, and can bow to his ° reflection and be bowed to in return by a score of his own figures. The maze is destined to become a very ‘popular place of amusement, and {is worth all the wonder and amazement that ts bestowed upon it. —— The Best Lumber, $1.00 Per 100 Feet.

GHORGER & GON, Foot New Post Office Building Criticised. ‘To the Kaitor of The Evening Star: Of all the public buildings in this city, I think the new city post office building is the least handsome. You may look at this building from any direction, and you cannot see anything tn its appearance that is in the least attract- ive or pleasant to the eye. To a person standing in front it looks for all the world more like a large demijohn boarded up for shipment than anything else, and to a per- son crossing the avenue from the Capito? it looks like a huge ill-shapen mass. which it_would be difficult to describe. To have such a building right in the most Populous part of the city is, indeed, most unfortunate. The old “brick barn” used as the pension office is bad enough, goodness knows, but this building is, to my mind, many times worse; and then, fortunately, the former is on a back street and somewhat out of sight, while the latter stands out in full view. It costs a great deal of money to erect these large buildings, and by all means those erected in the capital city of the na- tion should be of the handsomest style of architecture.
