ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Student Ordained Into Deacon's Orders by the Bishop. Local Notes of General and Especial Interest te All Con-. cerned. Evening Star-Burean, - No. 121 North Washington street. Telephone: 416. . ALEXANDRIA, Va., February 26, 1897. Mr. Robert Burwell Nelson of the senior class at the Virginia Theological Seminary, near this city, was ordained to deacon’s or- ders by Right Rev. Henry Yates Sattertee, bishop of Washington,-at the Pro Cathedral of St. Mark, in Washington, this morning before a large number of friends. The impressive ordination service of the Episcopal Church was used and the cere- mony was a most imposing one. A large number of the students from the seminary, including Mr. Nelson's classmates, were present at the service. The ordination by Bishop Satterlee was at the request of Right Rev. William Paret, bishop of the diocese of Maryland, into which Mr. Nelson transferred from the diocese of Virginia to accept a call from Maryland. Owing to his being compelled to take a vacation, Bishop Paret was unable to conduct the ceremony. Mr. Nelson is one of the brightest mem- bers of his class and would have completed his course at the seminary in June. He has resigned, however, to accept a call to Maryland. Alexandria Light Infantry. Monday night at the Alexandria Light Infantry armory there will be a meeting of the company, called by Acting Captain Albert Bryan, for the purpose of electing officers to fill the vacancies now existing. A full ecmplement of commissioned officers will be elected and Acting Captain Bryan will be put in active command by a unani- mous vote. The offices of first and second lieutenant will probably be filled by Ser- geants Marbury and Green, respectively, though it is rumored that an outsider may get the office of first lieutenant. The va- eancies in the non-commissioned officers will be filled at the same meeting. The company will not, it is thought, be ready to take part in the ceremonies incident to the inauguration of President-elect Mc- Kinley. Ladies’ Euchre Club. The Ladies’ Euchre Club was entertain- ed by Mrs. Anthony Armstrong at her residence on Prince street yesterday afternoon. The prizes were won by Mrs. Wm. B. Smoot and Miss Holcombe.

N.Y. ave.—Ad. where they are now supposed to’ The Nordica Concert.—No singer was ever greeted with a more brilliant and dis- tinguished audience than that which as- sembled in the Lafayette Square Opera House yesterday afternoon to listen to Lil- Man Nordica. That the honor was paid to an American songstress is all the more gratifying, and that it was fully deserved Was borne out by her excellent perform- ance. Clara Louise Kellogg was the first American soprano that entered into suc- cessful competition with song birds from abroad in Italian opera, and Lillian Nordi- ca has invaded the German school and has triumphed over ull others in Wagnerli Opera at Beyreuth. Her success proves that there is nu limit to the possibilities of an American girl in the world of music, and her voice, now in the full maturity of its powerss shows what can be accom- plished by earncst, conscientious and per- severing work. It has developed from the brilliant colorature style which distinguish- ed Mme. Nordica in the early portion of her career into the broad, full tones and the dramatic intensity which the exaccing demands on a soprano by Wagnerian Scores require. Nordica stands now at the very head of the list of American singers. There are those who are pleasing, who have certain particular qualities that at- tract attention and command respect and praise, but Nordica comes out in bold re- lief as a perfectly rounded vocalist, equipped at all points for the most severe tests and conquering every difficulty with apparent ease. She is to the others as the majestic oak is to the flowers of the garden. She was down on the program for two num- bers, but she sang seven times, besides participating in the “Rigoletto” quartet. Her first selection was Erkel’s aria from bis | AMUSEMENTS. from “Tannhauser,” and this was more familiar to the audience, and the demand for more was even greater than before, Mme. Nordica being compelled to sing three times. Her encore songs were all happily selected and were artistically sung. She was rewarded with handsome floral tributes after each appearance. Those who assisted Mme. Nordica were all worthy of note. Mme. Scaichi, always a favorite here, was warmly greeted when © made her first appearance to sing Nobil Signor,” the charming air from the Huguenots,” which she gave with true ar- tistic effect, albeit her once noble contralto voice Is but a shadow now of its former resonance. Her perfect method, however, conceals its defects from the average lis- tener, and her gracious manner makes her still a welcome figure on the concert stage. Barron Berthold, the tenor, and John Dempsey, a basso cantante, are both e cellent singers, and found favor with the audience, while Isador Luckstone, the pian- ist, gave a good interpretation of Liszt's Sixth Hungarian Rhapsody, and was an efficient accompanist for ali the singers. The Biograph.—The greatest triumph of the biograph, the American invention be- ing exhibited at Willard Hall, was reached last night, when a moving photograph in criginal colors was thrown upon the screen. Sandow, the strong man, was the subject, and every motion of his immense muscies was plainly seen, while the colors were perfect. There have been several views added to the exhibition. They in- clude «n extremely handsome picture of a Scene in the Alleghany mountains with the Pennsylvania” limited running ‘at full speed in and out on the curves, bathing in the surf at Atlantic City, calisthenie drill of United States soldiers, boys building snow men and others. The exhibition will come to a close at the end of inaugura tion, and the people of Washington who have not seen it yet should by all means take advantage of the short time remain- ing to see this great wonder. Postponement of “Priscilla."—The opera “Priscilla,” to be presented under the au- | spices of the Mary Washington Chapter, D. A.*K., has been postponed to the week following inauguration, on account of de- tails which cannot be made ready in time for the original Those who have bought opera may retain the same seats for the postponed performance. Mr. Macomber of Boston, the director of the overa, arrived yesterday and took charge of the company at a rehearsal held for that purpose. Mr. Macomber went immediately to work, and the improvement under his skillful guid- ance was noticeable. The singing of the chorus was excellent, while both cast and chorus showed marked improvement in the conceptien of the business connected with the work.

CLEARING THE CITY. Putting Crooks Away in a Place of Safety. The police are actively engaged in a cru- sade against crooks of all characters and strenuous efforts are being made to have such gentry behind the bars during the in- avguration period. Bud Warner, colored, one of the most dangerous burglars and thieves who ever operated in this city, was before Judge Kimball today, and he was went to the work house for sixty days in default of $20 bonds. By his own admissions, Warner has spent pninteen years of his life in the penitentiary, and he is yet a very young man. The first time he went to state’s prison for three years, the second time for seven years and the third time for nine years. He has been to the jail and the work house times with- out number. He was arrested yesterday morning by Sergt. Daley of the South Washington precinct as a suspicious char- acter. His specialty is second-story burg- laries. Warner gained some notoriety in 1800 by marrying a white woman in the District jail. He has not seen her since the ceremony. “This man was released from the peni- tentiary last October,’ explained Sergt. Daley to the court. “He is a dangerous character. He resided in Baltimore until last Saturday, when he came here and took up his residence in a house of prostitution in Willow Tree alley. In view of the inau- guration, we thought he would be a good man to Jock up.” Detective Rhodes told Judge Kimbail that he has known Warner for eighteen years. “What is his character?” asked the court. “He is the most clever thief of my ac- quaintance,” replied the detective. Several other policemen testified against Warner. Attorneys Moss and Peyton, who appeared for the defendant, made an earn- est plea for his release. He was gullty of. no overt act, they claimed, and was ar- rested merely because he had served time in the penitentiary. He was now leading an upright life and should, in their opinion, be given a chance to show tnat he had re- fcrmed. “The law is intended to cover just such cases,” remarked the court, in disposing of the gatter. “The fact that this defendant resided in Baltimore until just a week be- fore the inauguration is suspicious on the face of it.
