Many Matters of Interest to the Af- Minted Trades Brought Up, for Consideration The regular weekly meeting of the Cen- tral Labor Union was held last evening at ‘Typographical Temple, and was largely at- tended, representatives from twenty-three organizations being present. Much enthu- siasm was manifested throughout the pro- ceedings. President Milford Spohn pre- sided and Mr. J. J. Crowley was secre- tary. Delegate Canty of the joint committee ap- pointed to attend to the grievance of the Buildirg Trades Council against Mr. Stil- son Hutchins submitted the report of the committee, stating the terms of settlement, which have already been pubiished. The report was adopted, and after some dis- cussion on a point brought up by Mr. J. M. Kreiter of Typographical Union without a construction being placed upon it the chair ruled that Mr. Hutchins would in future be regarded as an employer of “fair’ labor, which he thought ought to be satis- factory to all concerned. E Delegate Lannis of the=s} committee appointed to see Captain Randall in ref- erence to the employment of union labor stated Mr. Randall said that he now has Knight of Labor painters. exclusively, em- ployed on one of his boats, and that he would give the painting of another boat owned by him to members of the Brother- hood of Pairters if they would submit to him a list of their, membership, so that_he could judge of their qualifications. The matter was referred to a special commit- tee. Delegate Silver of the crganization com- mittee reported that they had decided te hold a mass meeting tomorrow night at ‘Typographical Temple, on which occasion speeches will be made by President Gom- Guire, James Duncan, James O'Connell and M. M. Garland, the members of the execu- tive cuncil of the A. F. of L., now in Washington. A communication was read from Homer D. Call, secretary-treasurer of Amalga- mated Meat Cutters and Butcher Work- men of North America, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, requesting Organizer Weber of the Central Labor Union to organize the members of the craft in this city. In the course of his letter Mr. Call said: “This great body of men (the butchers and meat cutters of Washington) are not liv- ing up to their privilege, and I do not think it would take much to have them see it. To have them.thoroughly organized would mean a great increase of strength to the American Federation of Labor; but not to have them organized would therefore be detrimental to our cause.” : A committee of three was appointed to take the necessary steps to comply with Mr. Call's request. Delegate Keener of the legislative com- mittee reported thai the label bill, in which the Central Labor Union has taken much interest, was intreduced in Congress last week, at the request of the committee, by Representative Mudd of Maryland. He also reported that at the last meeting o1 Columbia TypograpLica] Union that body had umanimously indorsed the boycott placed by the €. L. U. on a Washington theater. Under the cali of trades a communica- tion was read from the secretary of the New York Photo-Engravers’, Union, No. 1, calling attention to the now widely known anti-cartoon bill pending before the legis- lature of that state, and the passage of the bill would mean the throwing out of work of thousands of artists, writers, pho- tograph>rs, etc., and make impossible the production of many new periodicals, which exist and employ solely because of the free use of filustrations. The Central Labor Union directed Sec- retary Crowley to send a protest against the passage of the bill to Mr. Otto Stall, clerk of, assembly committee on codes, Albany, N. Y. The reason given by the members of the Central Labor Union for taking an active interest in the matter is that the bill is an attempt to infringe upon the rights of the press. Delegate Cannon ef the Tailors’ Union stated that his organization had under consideration an important matter, in which they wanted to interest the mem- bers of the trades unions of the District, and that an open meeting of the union would be held this evening. Delegates from the Painters’ Union, No. 170, were admitted and obligated. SS AMUSEMENTS. Lafayette Square Opera House.—The Castl> Square Opera Company opened its engagement at the Lafayette Square Op- era House last night under the most aus- piclous circumstances. An audience that was favorably disposed filled the house and occupled much of the standing room. All the principals of the company were warmly greeted as they made their ap- pearance. The opera presented was Strauss’ tuneful work, “The Gipsy Baron.” The productfon last night was in every way satisfactory, and the pleasure of the audience was demonstrated in the abun- dant applause and the frequency of the encores. There were two Washington girls in the cast, and their emphatic recogni- tion showed the lccal pride that is felt in their achievements. Miss Lizzie MacNichol has won her position, both in grand and comic opera, by virtue of her sterling worth as a singer and as an actress. She ts re- garded by many as the best contralto on the English operatic stage today. She is, besides, a versatile actress, and such a thorough artist that she does: not hesitate to wholly disguise her beautiful face and figure If the part requires her to look ugly and haggard. In Cypra, the Gipsy, last night she sang and acted with splendid effect, and fully merited the applause she received. The other Washington girl was Miss Alice Judson, who sang the second soprano role of Arsena. Although she betrayed Some nervousness, she acquitted herself with decided credit, and gained an encore and some handsome flowers by her solo in the last act. The role of Soffi was well acted and sun; by Mi Anna Lichter, who, although a new mer, won immediate favor. Her voice was clear and pure and was fully up to the requirements. Thomas H. Persse displayed a pleasing tenor in the part cf Baron Barinkay and acted the Dart ac- ceptably. Reginald Roberts and Melville Stewart were also acceptable in their re- spective parts. In the comedy role William Woolf achieved a decided success and made the utmost of his part. Without resorting to horse play he was genuinely funny and his audience was quick to see the cleverness of his work. The production itself, with regard to staging, costuming and other ef- fects, was admirable, and there was hardly @ feature to be added to its completeness, The chorus sang well, in excellent time and tune and the climaxes were brought out with the volume and finish of grand opera. The staging of the opera was su- perb and the costuming was fully in keep- ing with the setting. Mr. Southwell will not permit his primas to wear themselves out by too much work ard will vary the different roles and singers to this end. Miss Mary Linck will alternate with Miss Macnichol for this work, and Miss Eland will sing Miss Lichter’s part at the Wednesday afternoon and Saturday evening performances. Miss Judson will be relieved by Miss Oriska Warden at the Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon performances. Altogether it may be said that the season of opera at summer prices received a splenjid send-off, and there is every reason to believe that the attempt to give Washington music lovers good opera at low prices will result in a most success- ful season. Columbia Theater._The standards of comparison which a performance of “Ham- let” suggests are so numerous and in many instances so lofty that an older actor than Mr. Walker Whiteside might contemplate the presentation of that role with misgiv- ings. There have been and are many good Hamlets on the stage. The lines are well read and the passions thrillingly expressed, but the Hamlet who in every way fits the auditor’s sense of the ideal. comes only once in a generation, if so often. ly Mr. Whiteside may be this man. While he is rather slight and juvenile, even for the youthful prince, he has the intellectual grasp and the fineness of taste which con- stitute the really essential qualities of an jue may be achieved in some intelligence ts lacking pers, Secretary Frank Morrison, Treasurer Lennon and Vice Presidents P. J. Mc- the deficiency is hopeless. Following Mr. Whiteside’s Hamlet is like reading the play under the guidance of a skillful com- mentator, with all the irksomeness which might attend so prosaic an occupation re- moved. He does not permit a syllable of obscurity. Not only has he studied the precedents set by eminent interpreters of the role, but he has thought for himself, and the result is a most lucid and logical portrayal. He develops a fiesh and blood character, whose impulses and methods are clearly to be traced. With a vigorous, brainy conterpt for the ambiguous, he works ‘clearly and consistently on the theory that Hamlet's “antic disposition” was an assumption, and occasionally in- troduces action which binds closely inté the thread of the story speeches which are ordinarily treated as mere declamations. The unusual touches which he gives are the more delightful because they are not simple exhibitions of audacity, but evi- dences of a close and respectful study of the work which he has undertaken. He is rather more effective in agitation than in repose, but he fs at all times grace- ful. The scenery is in keeping with the careful spirit which marks the entire enter- prise. Some of the stage settings are unu- sually elaborate. The subordinate members of the company show a gratifying compre- hension of the exigencies of their roles. Mr. Hebert Pattee is intrusted with the responsibilities which attach to the part »f ertes, and acquits himself handsomely. The part is one which in several scenes divides attention with the star himself, and Mr. Pagtee bore himself in a manner whic permitted no comparison to his discred: There is a quiet humor about J. L. Sap! cre’s Polonias which makes him a note- worthy element of the performance. Miss Lucia Moore depicts the melancholy carcer of Ophelia in a manner which is duly win- some in one phase and duly harrowing in the other, and Chas. D. Herman very con- scientiously projects himself as the ghost or incarnates himself as the king, as cir- cumstances may suggest. The production is a capable and most sincere undertaking throughout, one which cannot fail to com- mand the interest of every lover of Shakes- perian drama. The National Theater.—“The Midnight Bell,” which some persoas say 1s Hoyt’s best production, was the attraction at the National last night, with Digby Bell and Laura Joyce ditto as the main standbys. Like a_great many others of Hoyt’s plays, “The Midnight Bell” ts not entirely new to Washington. Of “The Midnight Beli” and ef the other two Bells not much more in praise can be said than has already been said. However, this much may be said, that Mr. Bell has but a set, or pair, or col- lection, or group of whiskers on Deacon Tidd which are off in color, off in shane and ought to be off in fact. The support is new to the Bells, though George Wright is the original Martin Tripp, a type of New England boy thet Deacon Tibb would be giad to exterminate. Miss Vicla Miles is a typical young school mistress; Miss Strick- land, a tom-boy girl, all heart and mischief; Miss Dudiey, a snappy widow; Miss Blos- scm, a pretty village maiden, and Miss Owen, a valuable hired help. “Among the men, Frank Monroe is a rather robust clergymar; Frank Davis, a plain villain; Herman Hirshberg, a well-dressed lawyer: Gage Clark, an emotional bank teller; W. P Sheldon, an honest bank president, ani Carl Odell, a useful village doctor. A’ cas it will be observed, of very good peo} which will make “The Midnight Bell” ¢ play whose popularity will probably remain with it as long as it remaii e Seticn r4 ains before the Academy of Music.—It has been a-long time since “Ned” Harrigan appeared in this city, for he has kept himself very close to the metropolis and its immediate neighborhood of late. He returns to Wash- ington with a somewhat depleted com- pany, but with all his own personal charms and ability. His bill for the Washington week is “Old Lavender,” one of the strong- est character roles in which he has ever acted. The play itself is frail in its tex- ture, though abounding in villainy, hero- ism, fun and pathos, but it is “Old Lave ender” himself who holds the interest throughout. The portrait is that of a reprobate brother of a successful banker, who, in his convivial moods—kept secret from his brother, also his employer—is drawn into the confidence of a couple of young sharpers, who use him to secure the payment of a forged check. For this act of carelessness he is discharged from his position and sinks to the gutter. He becomes a wharf loafer, living in an old ship's galley on the docks, curing only to quench his everlasting thirst. But amid all his degradation, with all his degeneracy, he retains his prime characteristics, his dignity, his high-sounding loquacity, his cavalier's manner. There is in this’ part no trace of the brogue that has made Mr. Harrigan famous. That lack leaves a void that is felt by those who have seen and heard him in his other famous parts, such as “Mulligan” and “Reilly.” Yet’ “Old Lavender” is, perhaps, a better part than either of these, with more chances for fine acting and shading, and Mr. Harrigan makes the best of these opportunities. Some of the old members of the company re- main, but Mrs. Yeamans, John Wild ana Ada Lewis are regretted for their absence. Miss Hattie Moore, however, does splendid work in the part that would be filled by Mrs. Yeamans if the latter were with the company. She portrays a deaf old Eng- lish-woman, who keeps a sailors’ boarding house, and she earns many hearty rounds of applause for her careful work. Other parts in the cast are competently taken. Mr. Dave Braham, jr., should be specially mentioned for his cleverness in the juvenile role of “Dick, the Rat.” The house last night was very appreciative of the good work done, and surrounded Mr. Harrigan's return with a cordial atmosphere of good feeling and approval. Grand Opera House.—The Barton-Key Kodak Comic Opera and Vaudeville Cum- Pany, being snap shots at opera, comedy and burlesque, with James Barton Key as managing director and Mr. Watty Hydes as mvsical director, made its first appearance last night in Washington at the Grand before a fair-sized audience only. There are four features in the bill, to wit: “The Rose of Auvergne,” by Offenbach, with Miss Edith Howe, Mr. Chas. J. Campbell and Mr. Fred Frear in the cast; “A Fakir's Cinch,” a musical Ta-ra-ra, with Mr. Bert Clark’ and Miss Louise Hamilton in the cast; “The Girl from Hoboken,” largely by George K. Fortescue, with Walter Howe as assistant, and last, “Charity Begins at Home,” a one-act opera, with Messrs. Seth Crane, Fred Frear and Charles Campbell, and Misses Ethel Du Fres and Edith Howe in the cast. The star of the largest magnitude in the bill was George Fortescue, who twinkled rather too long; Fred Frear was next in order, and the others followed, doing the best they could with the materiai they had to do it with. The Biograph.—The 8. R. O. sign was out at Willard’s Hall last night, and Mr. Dur- ham, the bicgrapher, had a great many people to lecture to. The attraction was a lot of new pictures, including a pillow fight by four children at early morn, a horseless fire engine at twenty-five miles an hcur, whirling through the streets of Hartford, the sound steamer Middleton under full headway, an ocean liner leaving New York, a new lightning express train at eighty miles an hour, two new Joe Jef- ferson “Rip Van Winkle” views and a lot more. Surely no more interesting and un- usual exhibition has ever been seen in Washington than this, and the addition of new pictures so frequently makes the in- terest continual and brings people again Three exhibitions daily are 30, 4:30 and 8:15 p.m., and one at 8:15. on Sunday The Bijou Theater.—Manager Whitesell’s cozy theater held a much pleased gather- ing last evening that witnessed J. E. Toole in a play of the kind to which the late J. K. Emmett was addicted. It is a play that gives the star abundant cpportunities to make comic speeches and sing catchy songs, and Mr. Toole accepted all the chances offered. The audience was large and evidently in thorough sympathy with play and players. “Killarney and the Rhine" was the plcy, the title an epitome of the best features of two countries. The supporting company was capable. It in- cluded Lillian De Wolf, Blanche Booth, Avnie Eagleton, John E. Lane, Charles Brandon, F. M. Woods and Richard Ander- son. The play will be presented each even- ing and matinee performances will be given today, Friday and Saturday. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater._There was a crowded house and a jolly eudiencé at Ker- nan’s last night, for the Twentieth Century Muids had returned. The maids were here earlier in the Fant and the friends they won have been wafting for their reappear- ence. It was a rousing welcome. The per- formance was received with as much favor ag previously. The living pictures were greeted with enthusiasm and the rather startling dance in the burlesque on “Sans Gene” provoked loud applause. Lew Ran- dall gave a claver exhibition of wing danc- ing, Mirses Carter and Auber sang several selections, Carl Andersen displayed a fine baritone to advantage, Nettie de Coursey sang & song somewhat after Anna Held’s “Won't You Come and Play With Me?” and Thompson and Collins kept up an in- cessant crossfire of gags that were con- vulsitig. Again tonight. Yale Glee Club Concert.—The annual con- cert of the Yale Glee, Banjo:and Mandolin Clubs in this city was given last night at National Rifles’ ‘Ai . The hall was crowded with @ fashionable audience, ana hearty applause was one of the features of the concert. ,Every number was enthu- siastically recéiyed, and several- encores had to be gtvensbefore the large gathering could be satisfidd) The visit of the Yale clubs to this cityt is always a society event, and last night’s concert and the present trip was no exception to the rule. The pro- gram _ given was:enjoyable, and brought out the capabilities of the different cluos to a marked deégrge. The banjo club gave marches, ‘while the mandolin -was heard in a pleasing medley) The glee club numbers were all well ohosen,-and showed to a nicety the splerdid training the club has enjoved. A Great Boy Widlinist.—Bronisiaw Hubel- man, the gereat: toy violinist, who will make his onlyxappearance in’ public in Washington at the Columbia Theater next Sunday evening, arrived in this city yes- terday, and is quartered ut the Shoreham. He is accompanied by. Count Zamoyski. Hubelman made his early appearance in Washington in order to play at a musi- cale to, be given at the Austrian ambas- sador’s house Friday next, his visit here being at the invitation of that official. Song. Piano and Organ Recital.—Presi- dent McKinley has decided to attend the vocal, piano and organ recital to be given at the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, corner 4% and C streets northwest, this evening at 8:15 o'clock. This will in itself assure the success of the affair as a secicty event, but there are a number of well-known members of swelldom who will be in attendance as well. Those who will contribute to the program are well known as musicians of the first rank, and their work in the various numbers which have Leen selected to fill out the program will be listened to with enjoyment and apprecia- tion. They comprise Miss Elizabeth Pierce, soprano; Mrs. Laura Zeh Johnson, con- tralto; Miss Irene Gurney, pianist; Miss McKee, accompanist; Mr. James Watson, basso; Mr. Herndon Morsell, tenor, and Mr. Wilbur F. Dales, organist. The pro- gram is made up of ten numbers, divided into two parts, and comprises two organ rumbers, two plano numbers and six vocal numbers. C. A. C. Minstrel. Show.—A merry time is Promised by the managers of the Colum- bia Atheltic Club minstrel shbw for those who attend. The collection of jokes that will be sprung by the six end men will be something remarkable. Every one is of this spring’s crop, and warranted to be a cure for the blues, or money back. It will be a case of “take well before shaking,” for you are sure to shake with laugh er. Frank Childs will be interlocutor, and ihe six men who will quiz him are Messrs, Joe Cullen, George O'Conner, Dick Beall, Je- rome Magee, Frank Parsons and Clarence Vining. The ballad singers will be Messrs. Taylor Crorin, Mel. Hensey and Mart. Ruman, from which it will be seen that there will be good singing. The attendance will, from present indications, be quite large, as the demand for tickets has been very brisk, all of the boxes having been sold. Christianity In Japan.—The present career of the Japanese people opens to the world some vexy interesting problems. Especially is this true of the attempts that are mak- ing to corvert that people to Christianity. For some years now the missionary socie- tes represented in Japan have been dis- cussing their Japanese work with a great deal of solicitude, on account of the pecu- liar difficulties that have confronted them in the mikado's land. Rev. Clay Mac- Auley, formerly pastor of All Souls’ Church in this city, and during the past eight years resident in Japan, has made @ special study of the religicus situation there. Mr. Mac- Cauley will deal with the Japanese mis- sionary problemiin particular in a lecture on “Christianity in Japan” at All Souls’ Church next Thursday evening. Bispham-Gregorowitsch Recital.—One of the most artistici’ concerts of the season will conciude thé series of Metropolitan concerts tor this season at the Columbia Theater tomorrene afternoon at 4: The artists appearingsare Mr. David Bispham, baritone, and Gregorowitsch, the brilliant violinist. Bispham is today one of 1 finished artists, and his Washington appearance has been looked forward to by many on account of the high praise accorded the gentleman for his work in opera and coneert. Of Gregorowitsch it is said he is one of those violinists of whom it does not much imatter what he plays, so muchihe revels, and leads his hearers to reveliin the mere beauty of the succession of tones; ne draws from his in- strument. -—__—___ $25 To Balttmére and Re-' $1.25 turn via Pennsylvania Railroad.
