The announcements will be made later. “Picturesque Sweden."—One of the most interesting lectures of the season will be given by Mrs. J. H. Gore of Stockholm, the wife of Prof. Gore of Columbian Univer. sity, on “Picturesque Sweden,” at the Uni- versity Hall, Friday, April % The lecture is Mustrated by over one hundred views made from photographs taken under Mrs. Gore's direction while in Sweden last year, and many of them have beeen carefully colored to give an adequate {dea of the quaintness of the costuming, as well as to approach more nearly the beauty of the scenery. Mrs. Gore will wear the costume of Dalecarlla, the province in which the traditional costumes and customs have been most faithfully preserved. Tickets for the lecture (twenty-five cents), which is for the benefit of the Columbian Women’s scholar- ship fund, may be had at Metzerott’s or at the office of the treasurer, Columbian Unt- versity “The Prisoner of Zenda.""—“The Prisoner of Zenda,” with Howard Gould as Ru- dolf, presented by Daniel Frohman’s Spe- clalty Company, will be the Columbia ‘Theater attraction for the week cf April 12. This great lyceum success has been placed in competent hands and has been strongly acted by the present com- pany all the season, thé tour extending as Grand Opera House—At the Grand Op- era House next Monday will be presented that pure and simple melodrama entitled the “Ups and Downs of Life.” by those talented artists, Oliver and Kate Byron, who have not played in Washington for the past five years. When last seen here they produced “Across the Continent,” with which they were identified for many years. The “Ups and Downs of Life” is a melo- drama of the highest order. It tells a beau- tiful story, which is rendered interesting and natural by the arrangement of its powerful scenes and by the excellent lan- guage in which {t is told. Full of pathos and feeling. it never grows tiresome, and impresses the audience more and more as the play progresses. The part portrayed by Mr. Byron is a part well suited to him, amd Kate Byron is highly commended for her rollicking ‘mpersonation of Jane Jud- kins, the Irish girl. The comedy hinges on @ young domestic, who advertises for a | {gr west as San Francisco and south to New Orleans. Miss Judith Monk's illness.—The friends of the young lady, so well kuown in Wasa- ington society, wio, under the stage namé of Judith Monk, has traveled extensively with the Sans Gene Company, will regret to learn that by reason of illness she hae severed her connection with that organiza- tion and will not appear here with that company next week. Mme. Teresa Carreno, now in the zenith of her career, made her European debut with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Ber- lin, in 1889, and there achieved a con- quest of press and public unparalleled tn the conservative atmosphere of the Ger- man capital. Her successes were repeated in the other European capitals, and dur- ing that pert of her American tour that has thus far elapsed, she has been grect- ed with such enthusiasm and approbation by musicians and music lovers as not been witnessed 1n this country since the teur-of Rubinstein a quarter of a cen- tury ago. Madame Carreno is of an old Venezuelan family, whose name she still bears. Her father was minister of finance in| Ven- ezuela, and Mme. Carreno is grand niece to the great Bolivar, the liberator of her native land. Rubinstein called Carrenc the {Rose of Castile.” No other woman pian- iste has ever drawn and swayed an audi- ence as does Carreno. Noi only as a great aruste with a temparament that is at once magnetic, fiery and sympathetic, but as a beautiful woman, too, does she charm the public with a subtle magnetism. Three passions, Teresa Carreno confesses, dom- inate her life. These are music, children and flowers, and fortune graciously sup- plies her with all. She is the most moth- erly of women and is always willing to talk of the four little ones who are in Germany. Mme. Carreno will be heard at the Columbia Tieater next viday after- noon. “Chimmie Fadden."—“Chimmie Fadden” is ccming back again. The redoubtable Bow- ery boy, in the person of that talented young comedian, Charles Hopper, will make his second appearance at the Na- tional Theater April 12. Since Chimmie was here last fall he has made an ex- tended tour of the country, and has every- where, from report, met with the greatest success. Among the many merits of the play is its distinct novelty and absence of conventionality. It has given to the stage some new and welcome types, and it fur- nishes an entertainment that is refreshing in its originality. Charles Hopper is a per. fect Chimmie, and his surrounding com- pany, as every one knows who saw it, 1s one of the best comedy organizations’ on the road. The entire original cast returns here, with the exception of the lady who formerly Played Miss Fanny. The part ts now taken by a young emotional actress named Berenice Wheeler, who is sald to have made much of it. ‘The sale of seats for “Chimmie Fadden” will begin on Thurs- day next. The Vitascope.—The Edison Vitascope at Vitascope Hall, on F street, adjoining the Columbia Theater, will have a num- ber of new views to be displayed next week. All of the old pictures will be re- tained and with the new ones will make a list of views that will be interesting and entertaining in the extreme. The Vita- Scope pictures are clear and distinct and depict human life and motion, animal life and mechanical motion even’ more accu- rately than does the eye. There is noth- ing that could be added to the pictures to make them more perfect, with the pos- sible exception of sound, which is, of course, lacking unless supplied by arti- ficial means. It seems extremely queer, howeve to see a vividly-pictured scene in which a city fire department is in full swing and which should be accompanied with a perfect pandemonium of sounds, but which fs absolutely without noise. It Seems as if the spectator were looking into another world. The Crystal Maze—The C 4: 7th street northwest thing of the past. ple have visited th rstal Maze at will soon be a Over ten thousid peo- } 18 mysterious and m: Ufying place of amusement, and those who have not have missed one of the most at. tractive amusement features of the se ason., There is no better place to spend a halt hour, and laughter and merriment prevail during the time a visitor is mak: his rounds of the labyrinth. If the old saying that laughter makes people grow fat is true, all lean people should visit the Maze at once. In Mizzoura—The performance of “In Mizzoura’” at the Academy was t night by six membe: delegation attended s of the Missouri in Congress, who enjoyed the y and manifested their appreciation of its good points by liberal appiat Those who attended were Richard Bland, Clark, J. A. Cooney, R. N. Benton and W. 8. Cowherd. Haley's Band Concert.—Tomorrow nig! at the National Theater Wm.

Girls,” Stone; Weber's “Jubel. Waldteufel’s “My Dreams "a Gness’ descriptive fantasia, “The Heat Maryland,” Haley's new two-step, “Th. American Beauty,” and the “Wm. Tell, overture. Then there will be Millar's grand fantasia, “Le Rene d'Amour,” with cornet solo, by Wm. Grosskurth: he Blessing of the Polgnards,” from the “Huguenots,” with the trombone section, Messrs. Stone, Kru- ger, Mulhausen and Thierbach, and sere- nate for French horn and flute, by Messrs Schultz and Wagener. Miss Fannie AtLee will sing @ soprano solo, and Miss Gertha Lucas will play two movements of De Ber- fot’s seventh concerto for the violin. Humorous Monologue.—The brillant and humorous monologue of Chaplain Lozier of Towa, “Your Mother's Apron String: will be given at Kendree’s Church on Massa- chusetts avenue between 9th and 10th streets next Tuesday evening. This enter- tainment has been hightly praised by the press and many eminent persons in the west. This will perhaps be the only oppor- tunity for Washingtonians to hear the chaplain. Historic Paris.—Miss Janet Richards will deliver an illustrated lecture on “Historic Paris” at the Church of the Reformation, Pennsylvania avenue and 2d street south- east, Tuesday evening next at 8 o'clock. Miss Richards is well known in the lecture field in Washington, and has pleased large audiences by her interesting talks on the great city of France. The Biograph.—The management of the Biograph at Willard Hall will add on Monday next a great number of new views, none of which has ever been exhibited before. They are fresh from the camera and will be given their first exhibition in this city. Of the new views there will be as many as fifteen, al! of which are novelties, and many of them superb scenes from na- ture, making about forty views shown at each exhibition. One of the new views will be that of a New England church scene, showing the front of a New England church at the time the people are leaving the build- ing, the doors of the church are shown open, and the large crowd of worshipers are seen passing out, descending the high steps and dispersing in various directions. An- other is that of the “Dancing Darkies,” showing a family of colored people around the wash tub eating watermelon, and danc- ing and singing, making it a typicai planta- tion scene. Another will be a view of the Yale foot ball team, together with another view of the Niagara Falls, this one showing the Canadian. or larger falls from the foot of the table rock on the Canadian side. Still another of a comic nature, showing the dis- appearance of the cat and dog families, and @ proportionate increase in the sausage out- put. Among the other new ones will be a “‘pil- low fight,” engaged in at an early hour in the morning by a number of children, the lst New York Regiment in the in- augural parade, a graphic view of out- bound ships passing Governor's Island, New York, the bayonet exercise, scaling the walls with the dead and wounded, the latter cuperb military views; the junction of Broadway and Park Row, immediately in front of the New York post office,“Play- ing Doctor,” a comic view, participated in by chiidren, with a number of others. To- day another church benefit was given, which was as successful as the one last Saturday. The prices for the church ben- efits were reduced and the same prices which prevailed in the afternoon are also the prices for tonight's entertainments. Exhibitions continue as usual at 2:30, 4:30 and 8:15 p.m. ————— Identified With Civil Service Reform. Darwin E. Ware of Boston, who has been prominently identified with the civil service reform movement ever since its in- ception, died at his home in that city yesterday, @ged sixty years.

Three young men were lounging about the office in which they were employed, the other night after business hours, dis: cussing the new administration, financial outlook of the country, Opera season and other equally interesting topics. One of them, the shipping clerk, finally declared as he blew out a cloud of smoke from his five-cent cigar: “Well, I tell you it’s just coming to this; the girls will have to pay for their own seats if they expect us to take them to the opera.” The bookkeeper looked up from a trial balance he was struggling over to ask quietly, but with a “naughty Httle twinkle in his eye:” “And yours, too, eh, Spotzie?”’ (The ship- ping clerk’s name was Spott.) Spotzie colored up to the tips of his ears as he replied angrily: “Oh, I don’t know; you’re not the only number on the calendar just because you've got a date for tonight. Before these hard times struck us I used to have three or four girls; now it’s hard to hold onto one,” and he banged one of his ledgers down on his desk amd struck another match to light his cigar, which had gone cut in the heat of the discussion. The bookkeeper only smiled as he con- tinued his counting, but the cashier, who had taken very little part én the conversa- tion hitherto, being oecupted in arranging his necktie to his satisfaction before the looking glass in the lavatery door, looked up and asked, as he gave:a final twirl to his mustache: “What would you say to a girl who never mentions operas, theater or dances; doesn’t eat candy and can’t bear flowers? The other two men cried together: “Where is she?" “That's te’ ag.” returned the cashier. “Do you know her?” “I should smote.
