Effective Work of the Chorus and Vic- tor Herbert's Band—Congratulated by © Bell. Although the crowd In attendance upon the last promenade concert at the pension building Saturday night was not as larg> as the one Friday evening, it was, never- . sufficient to make walking around the great court almost impossible, and to cause some uncomfortable though not se- rious crowding at different times during ihe evening.* The bad weather undoubtedly operated to keep down the attendance, but such as it was the number is estimated to be about 9,000, only 2,000 less than on the previous night. The crowds began to arrive early, and shortly after 8 o'clock over two-thirds of the ball room was filled by a close, compact inass of people, waiting for the opening of the concert. A goodly number of evening toilets were in evidence, and the scene, as viewed from the first balcony, was an ani- mated one. The stand on which the 500 singers were seated. had been built directly in front and connected with the band stand, being draped in the prevailing colors, white ow, and the scene at this end of the 1 was pleasing in the extreme. All of members of the chorus were in full evening dress, and the splendid golden gateway rising behind both band and chorus made a background that harmonized rasted with the bright dresses of the sopranos and altos to a inarked degree. By the the first number was given al- ery inch of space on the floor, with the exception of the far west end of the court, and in the two galleries, was utilized, and waiking about was made extremely difficult. The program which had been was one of the best of the series, the band sted by the chorus of 500 well- gers, under the direction of Mr. Foster.

Bell of the executive then introduced, and he also added his thanks to those of Judge Chaney. Although the concert was over about 10 o'clock, the people did not all leave the building until long after that hour, and the lights were put out before some had left. A rumber of people were detected in the act of.stealing articles to be used as souv- enirs, and some few arrests were made. ‘There were eighty-two policemen on duty, but their services were not required at ail, ave in the rways and at a few corners during the concert. — Sanity Questioned. trict authorities have asked for an inauiry by a marshal's jury into the mental condition of Helen Corinne Bergen, who, they charge, is of ursound mind.

Vinal, who presided, Miss Bessie Tyler sang “The Holy City.” and Mr. F. M. Bradley of the sons of Temperance made a stirring ad- on the evils of drink. Mrs. Margaret B. Platt, president of the W. C. T. U., ad- ed the meeting, and told numerous in- cldents to show that liquor is the greatest curse of the human race. She said she had seen a half-drunken man reel out of a hington grog shop with a little golden- e1 boy, the picture of innocence and youth, who was forced against his will to live in an atmosphere of alcohol. _— Undine Juvenile Temple. Undine Juvenile Temple, Mrs. Emma F. Bishop, superintendent, held its regular weekly meeting Saturday afternoon in Northeast Temple. The little people came out in large numbers, notwithstanding the forbidding weather.

Mr. Allen has other engage- ments of the most pressing sort, which re- quire his immediate attention, and he will be forced to leave the city with his inter- esting machine at the close of the present week. The usual hours will be resumed— 2:30, 4:30 and $:15—and some new views witi be secured before the end of the engase- ment, some of which will show several of the interesting features of the inaugura- tion, One especially good view which is be- ing Shown at Wi'lard Hall now is thai of the disappearing ten-inch gun. A picture has been secured just as it was fired, and the effect produced can hardly be described in so many words. It must be seen to be ap- Freciated. All of the old pictures will be retained, including the new lot which was added for inauguration wcek, and with the new ones to be added this week will make one of the handsomest collections of mov- ing photographs in the country. The scene reprodvced in colors, that of Sandow, the strong man, {is extremely interesting, and semves to some extent to give an idea of what the possibilities of moving photog- raphy may be. Mr. Whiting Allen's de- scriptions of the pictures are interesting and add a great deal to the entertainment furnished by the wonderful machine. Dr. Quinn to Talk on Crete.—Dr. Dan‘el Quinn of the Catholic University will de- liver a lecture at Carroll Institute Hall Wednesday evening for the benefit of the Cretan refugess who have sought refuge in Greece.

A Lecture on Cuba.—A lecture on Cuba was delivered at the Columbia Theater last night by Mr. H. A. Havers, weil known as the correspondent in that island of sev- eral American papers, and although the not a large one, the sym- pathy for the island as measured in en- thesiasm was great. Mr. Havers started with the discovery of the island by Columbus and ended his history with the death of Maceo. He said that he had no doubt the insurgents would be successful in overthrowing the rule of Spain within a year, and that they were perfectly jus tified in their fight against the sovereign- ty of the Spanish. He spoke of the de- Plorable condition of things in the island under Spanish rule, and said that citizens of cther countries were daily arrested and thrown into solitary confinement, some of whom would never be allowed’ to com- murccate their distress to friends or rela- tives. The Cuban people were described as keing highly patriotic, and Mr. Havers said that they would never submit to the rule of Spain. He detailed the arrests of Sanguily ard Scovel, and said that he was perfectly satisfied that the instru- ments of torture used in ancient Spain to extract ccnfessions were being used in the dvngeons in Cuba. The lecture was il- lustrated by handsome views, some of which were loudly applaude: The Crystal Maze.—The Crystal Maze at 427 7th street northwest is now fully es- tablished in the favor of the Washing- ton public, and phenomenal crowds visited {( during last week, and no doubt will visit it during the present one. oe False Pretenses. Frank Gillam {s a colored man, with a particular fondness for high-priced whisky. As a result he is now in jai) awaiting trial Wednesday in the Police Court on a charge of false pretenses. Until five weeks ago Gillam was in the employ of Capt. Henry May, and in that connection had occasion to know that his employer had an account at Magruder’s grocery establishment on New York avenue. Just twenty-eight times since his dis- charge from Capt. May's service has Gil- lam visited Magruder’s, and each time he secured a quantity of the finest liquor, ostensibly for the household of Capt. May. Gillam proceeded with his scheme cleverly, not applying to the same clerk twice in succession. Capt. May was somewhat startled a few days ago when he noted an item on his bill of $80.70 for whiskies. He called the attention of Mr. Magruder to the matter, and the latter, in turn, made a report to police headquarters. Detectives Carter and Gallagher were assigned to the case, and they succeeded in locating Gillam in the eighth police precinct, where a warrant for his arrest, on a charge of threats, was in the hands of Policeman Hall for service. "The detectives and Policeman Hall arrested the man and had him in court today, the case being continued until Wednesday. Gil- Iam secured goods from Magruder’s on twenty-nine different occasions, and that number of cases are pending against him. ss Blinds, $1 a pair. Gth and N, Y. ave.—Ad. Bagster Architectural Club. The Washington Architectural Club held its regular semi-monthly meeting at the club rcoms last Saturday night. Mr. Wy- att, president of the Baltimore Architec- tural Club, was the guest of the evening. After the reading of papers by Messrs. El- liott and Rodgers on ancient Greece, Mr. Wyatt was asked to criticise the drawings prepared by the members in friendly com- petition for a small studio building. The drawing submitted by W. G. Peter re- ceived first mention, and that of T. J. D. Fuller second. A vote of thanks was ten- dered Mr. Wyatt for his careful criticism of the drawings by the members present. tee Accidental Death. Illuminating gas ended the life, yesterday afternoon in a room at 212 D street of Patrick Roach, fifty-four years of age, a veteran of the late war. He was known to be allve at 11 o'clock in the morning; three hours later the dead body was found. According to Mrs. Mary Jackson, the land- lady, Roach had occupied a room at ler house for about three months past, but he was of such a reserved disposition that she knew but little concerning ‘im, except his name. He was a man of exceptionally steady habits, was always in his bed early at night, and seemed not to be on intimate terms with worry of any character. Me was not engaged in business, but had an income sufficient to support ulm. Fevery in- dication is that Roach’s death was acci- dental. The coroner this afternoon is inves- tigating the occurrence. A BIT OF EXPERIENCE. Said a young housekceper, six months ago: “1 dread opening a new can of baking powder when that Im the old {s exhousted.

Its cause is found:in want of sufficient food, dyspepsia, lack of exercise or breathing impure air. With it is a natural repugnance to all fat foods.

It was known in advance what his plans were, and the result was that a crowil that far exceeded the seating capacity of the church gathered long before the reg- ular hour for service, and when the Pres- ident’s party entered the church was crowded to its utmost limit and hundreds were turned away unable to obtain admis- sion. The distinguished party was shown directly to the pew that was used by President Grant when he was in the Wh House. Rev.
