Boston Symphcry Orchestra—A house filled from the last row in the top gel- lery to the first row before the footlights greeted the last appearance of the Boston Symphony Orchestra here this season at the Columbia Theater last night. Although the program given was purely Wagner, It is not safe to say that every one present was a Wagner enthusiast, because the splendid aggregation of musicians under the leadership of Mr. Emil Paur has an immense following in Washington, and any concert, and especially the last one of the season, would draw a crowded house, such as was the case last night. The program chosen from Wagner's works was well made up and was enjoyable even or hose who are not of the SVagner cult. It, in- cluded the ‘“Parsifal” prelude, a “Siem: fried” idyl and a “Faust” overture, as “Lohergrin’ Die Walkure™ selections, and the “Rienzi” overture. As viewed from a non-enthusiastic Wagner point of view the program was eminertly satisfactory with the exception of the over- ture to “Faust.” which, according to some musical thinkers, has but little reason for existence. This composition has ised much discussion, however, and is still_a bone of contention. The most favored numbers { applause were prob- ably the prelude and the pre- ludes to acta 1 and IT of “Lohengrin,” the orchestra showing its splendid capabilities in both. The orches however, showed Its training and its ability, of course each one of the numbers, and the conce was a most fitting close to a most success- ful season. The soloist was Mr. Ben Da- vies, who has been heard here before in Wagner song. He sang the “Lohengrin legend and Stegniund’s love song, and gave them both with all the feeling and breadt} und sweetness of tone for which they call. He was enthusiastically received and was one of the successes of the evening. ‘The music as given by the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra this season in the five concerts in which it has appeared has been of the very highest order, and fully merited the strong following it enjoyed. Fourteen composers have been represented; Wagner, nine times; Weber, three times, and Bach, Beethoven, Berltoz, Bizet, Gold- mark, Handel, Liszt, Mandelssohn, Mozart, Rubinstein, Schubert and ‘Tschalkowsky. The soloists provided by the orchestra were, as a rule, of the first-class and were received with every mark of favor. They were Miss Marie Toulinguet, Teresa Cur- reno, Mr. Martinus Sieveking. Mr. Hen. Davies and Mr. Carl Halir. This array of both music and soloists leaves the music- lovers of Washington in a most pleasant anticipation of the treat which will be given them next season by this estimable organization. E. H. Sothern.—‘An Enemy to the King,” the new romantic Grama, is the play select- ed by Manager Daniel Frohman with which Mr. tenth annual ergagement in this cit novelties and E. H. Sothern will begin his be- ginning 1ext Monday at the La Square Opera House. In this play Mr. Sothern is clad in the habiliments of a very romantic period, and wearing upon his eeve a heart that is true and noble in adversity and peril, As a follower of the white plume cf Henry of Nevarre and an outlaw with a price upon his head, he wins the hearts of his audience. “An Enem the King” is like, and still unlike, eve thing good that has appeared in the line of romantic drama of late years. It af- fords a vehicle for the presentation of the most powerful acting and the picturing of the most sublime emotions. Almost every emotion of which humans are possessed is portrayed, It is a beautiful story, and its fr consistencies are passed over in the thrill of interest and pleasure one feels as he witnesses its production. As the Sleur dela Tournoire, Mr.Southern sustains his already well-won reputation and conveyed with perfect fidelity the sentiment of the noble character whom the author, R. N. Ste- phens, created. The supporting company includes the followit g well-known artists: Arthur R. Lawrence, Morton Selten, Geo E. Bryant, O n Fa ett, C. P. Flockton, Franklyr Roberts, Ernest Tarleton, Mary pton, Kate Pattison-Selten, Roydon Erlynne, Rowland Buckstone, Daniel Jar- , Sam Sothern, Edmund Lawrence, Jno. P. Collius, Norman Parr, Rebecca Warren and Violet Rand. Henry Miller in ‘Heartsease.”"—The at- traction at the Columbia Theater next week will be one of special interest. It will introduce a favorite and gifted actor in a rew sphere of importance, and one of the most pronounced dramatic successes of the current season. Henry Miller is one of the best types of the American actor. To a graceful, handsome and virile personal- ity he c s histrionic gifts of the high- t order. Equally at home ia light com- edy and romantic drama, his versatility enriched the stage during the past ten years with a number of the most delight- ful and impressive impersonations, “Heartsease,” the new play in which Mr. Miller will be seen here, is a romantic drama by Chas. Kline and J. 1. C. Clark, the latter for many years a prominent New York journalist. The play enjoyed a run of over one hundred nights in New York, where it not only won the highest praise of the metropolitan critics for its charm of sentiment, graceful dialogue and inte: ly dramatic situations but also awakened « degree of enthus m on the part of theatergoers which has rarely been equaled. The play will be present here with the entire original company handsome enery, rich costuming and elaborate ppointments as at the Gar- de Theater, New York. The com- pany include among {ts principals the following well-known players: John T. Sul- ivan, Frank Burbeck, Max Figman, Les- lie Allen, Edmund D. Lyons, Miss Grace Kimball, Mrs. Thorndyke Boucicault, Miss Nannette Comstock. The sale of’ seats opens tomorrow morning. The advance or- ders are large, and indicate an exceptional interest in Mr. Miller's engagement. Thos. Q. Seabrooke.—The notable success hieved by Thomas Q. Seabrooke in his ntation of the character of John Ful- the speculator, in George H. Broad- hurst’s brilliant comedy of that name, and the high encomiums paid the star, the’ sup- porting company and play by the press gencrally throughout the country, has served to increase the general desire to witness the annual advent of the young comedian among the theater-going public of this city, and the engagement com- mences next Monday at the New National. The comedy of ‘The Speculator” is by the author of “The Wrong Mr. Wright,” Mr. George H. Broadhurst, a young Chicago Journalist. Mr. Duncan B. Harrison, the manager of the organization, has’ sur- rounded Mr. Seabrooke with an admirable company, among whom are the following ladies and gentlemen: The Misses Jean- nette Lowrie, Loraine Dreux, Florence Hingham. Laura Almosnino,and the Messrs. Horace Mitchell, A. H. Stuart, Roy Fair- child, Fred W. ‘Peters, C. W.' Macdonald, Wallace Bruce, Edward Kennedy, Charles Lee, Charles Denison and others. The scenle presentation will be on an elaborate seale, the first act being a reproduction of the interior of the famous conservatory on Michigan Avenue boulevard, Chicago. The second act, which {s the strong dramati -t of the comedy, will be a complete re- uction of the offices of G. P. Hutcht- (Old Hutch) and C. W. Whitecar (The Weasel), celebrated as the gost extensive manipulators of wheat and general grain speculators in the wild west, and the third act Is a reproduction of thé elaborate re- ception room in the mansion of C. P. Hunt- ington. In every other detail the presenta- tion will he made as complete as possible. All of the scenery and accessories are com- pletely new for the engagement in this city. n Mizzoura.""—An important event of the ensuing week will be the engagement com- mencing next Monday night at the Academy of Music of the “In Mizzoura” Company, producing Augustus. Thomas’ beautiful play of that name, one of his greatest successes. “In Mizzoura™ enjoys the reputation of being distinctly” Ameri- can tn plot, in character and scenery. ‘The play, while {t was the greatest kind of a Success, artistically and financially, has only been played a lMmited number of times, just enough to advertise what a good thing it was and whet the public's appetite for more of it. There has never been a company specially engaged to play it—each member for his or her peculiar fitness for subject of the meeting being “The Second Coming.” George Mueller Howells will be the essayist. —— Boerds. 12-in., le. per feet. 6th & N.Y.av. ~—Advertisemen’ To Be Burted Arlington.

Calder. Whiie ihe piece is undoubt- edly of a sensatiomnl character, its scenes are reproductions of fact, strange, but nev- ertheless absolutely true. The chief inci- dent in the play, and the one on which ft {s based, Is the remarkable but historic fact, probably never known before, of <he refusal three times of the drop of a scaf- fold to work and accomplish the execution of a condemned man. The story is that February 23, 1885, John Lee, who had been tried and sentenced to death for the mur- der of a Miss Keyser. in Devonshire, was Wrought up for execution in Exeter jail. The rope was adjusted around the con- demned man’s neck, the burial service was read by the prison chaplain, and the signal given by the sheriff for the execuiloner to do his work. There was a pause, which prolonged John Lee's life a few seconds, for the machinery of the scaffold would not work, although the bolt beneath the plat- form had been withdrawn. Again were the dreadful details gone through with, and again John Lee was made to stand under the fatal beam, pinioned but unhung. Three times the drop refused to fall, and for twenty minutes the authorities at- tempted to carry out the sentence of the law. At last the chaplain, protesting against the mental agony the man was er- during, caused the prisoner to be taken back to his cell. Lee was never hanged. The home commuted his sentence, and he live: . the only per- son who has been through the hangman's hands three times, but who seems to have escaped by a modern miracle. This thrill- ing incident is picturesquely presented.

Gordon. The subject of the: lectu vhich- ‘was: hand- somely illustrated by stereopticon views, was “Corea,” and a large and fashion- able audience listened to the interesting discourse and added materially to the fund for the buiiding of the Continental Hall, to be undertaken by the Daughters. Col Long was introduced by Dr. Talmage and spoke for about an hour and a half of his travels in this interesting country. His de- scriptions were vivid, his relation of in- cidents pleasing and altogether the lecture was enjoyable to a high degree. Col. Long touched upon the country, the life, poll- tics and amusements of the Coreans, fllus- trating his remarks by pletures taken un- der his personal supervision. Col. Long Was assisted by Mrs. Sloane, who sang 1 numbers, accompanied on the piano Pope of Boston.

The su ‘A Horseback Ride Across South America,” and a‘large audience lis- tened to Dr. Collins’ discourse of about an hour. Dr. Collins spoke in a clear, strong volce and gave some useful and interest- ing information in regard to the countries through which he passed on his trip. The lecture to be given by him Friday evening at the same church, the second in the course, will be on Utah.

Madame Carreno.—Madame Theresa Car- reno is remembered as a great pianist, but her present visit to this country has sur- passed all former appearances, and the de- mands for return engagements where she has played, if filled, would keep her bus long after the close of the musical season. Madame Carreno is a woman of individual tastes, ‘many of her interpretations being out of the traditional, and it is this that appeals to her auditors, for it gives tie something to think about. In the brilliancy of Liszt Carreno revels, and so does the audierce. Her playing of Chopin fs in every way what may be termed healthy, a dis tinet contrast to the customary morbid and sickly sentimentality shown. Life, glowing color and animation is thrown into Carr no's interpretations, exhibiting meanin| poetry and a virility which are not often heard. The date of Madame Carreno’s re- cital is April 9, at 4:15, at the Columbia. Mr. Clem’s Lecture.—Mr. John P. Clum will deliver his popular lecture. “In the Wake of the Setting Sun,” at the Hamline M.

She was released from the workhouse yesterday, after serving a term for drunk- enness, and before she reached her home was again, according to the testimony of Officer Aldridge, so drunk that she was un- able to care for herself. The policeman sald that when he took hold of the wo- man he had no idea of placing a charge against her, but she became so abusive and used such profane language that he was compelled to do so. Margaret admitted being drunk, but as serted that she had no recollection of cu ing or abusing the officer. “Why don’t you let whisky alone?” said Judge Kimball, addressing the woman. “It always gets you in trouble.
