O’Ferrall and Staff Pay Their Rexpects—Several Valued Relics Presented to the Society. ‘The proceedings of the annual council of the Mt. Vernon Ladies’ Association have reached a most interesting stage. The ses- sions yesterday were devoted to a discus- sion of the report of the superintendent, Mr. Dodge, which minutely details the con- dition of every part of the property. The iadies of the different committees have thoroughly familiarized themselves with the estate by actval inspection of all parts of the house and grounds, and their opinion is that it is in generally excellent condition. Seven of the vice regents attended service at Pohick Church Sunday last, and were afterward entertained at luncheon by the rector, Rev. Mr. Kloman. The record committee, whose especial work it has been to get together a complete history of the doings of tke association nce its formation, has made a lucky find in a bundle of manuscripts tucked away in an @ld closet, which cempletes the record in a most satisfactory way. A Valued Relic. ‘The council has accepted from Mrs. Har- rison Whelan of Philadelphia a gift of a carpet which is very valuable, not only in its historical association, but as an example of the hand-made carpets of its time. The carpet was a gift from Louis XVI to Gen. Washington, but was not accepted by the latter, and now, after the lapse of a century and more, it is spread on the floor of the banquet hall, for which it might have been made, so weil does it cover the space. The groundwork of the center is dark green, studded with stars, which surround the na- tional coat of arms. The border, which is about two feet wide, is in lighter tints, and its ornamentation on the four sides are swans, the Bourbon emblem, and butter- fies. The insidious moth has made some in- roads in this historical relic, but tne marks are not sufficient to greatly mar its beauty. After the session of a day or two in t recently restored house servants’ quarters, the council returned to the banquet hall as the most suitable place for assembling. A Vice Regent Resigns. Mrs. Mary Pendleton Abner, vice regent for Ohio, tendered her resignation yeste day, as her future residzace will be in New York. One of the vestorations contemplated is of the wall paper on several of the rooms. The old-time paper will be carefully re- moved and the pattern copied for the new. Mrs. Hearst, who has attended the ses- sions of council, has announced her dete mination to comtinue the building of the sea wail, the cost of which she has borne for several years. During the next two years the work will be steadily extende? by her order. During that period she expects to be absent from this city. Committee reports were discussed late yesterday and the committees for the com- img year announced. A brick from the field, where the monument was built last year, was presented ty Mrs. Wasaington of West Virginia yesterday, and Mrs. Ric erdson of Loutsiina presented a lace hand- kerchief, which belonged to Mrs. Washing- ton, the gift of Mrs. Story of New Orleans.

NEW NATIONAL THEATER.—Mr. Stu art Robson has performed a work of im- portance in giving to the stage Opie Reed's story, “The Jucklins,” dramatized by Daniel L. Hart. It is one of those pastoral c! tions for which Mr. Reed has become ¥o widely and so deservedly edmired as an author, aad the dramatization and the per- formance are both calculated to present the ged pictures of sentiment to excellent advaniage. Accustom to Mr. Robson as a comedian of the ly and dapper sort, the public cannot to regard his appearance in the ga’ South Carolina farmer.

LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE —The production of “Erminie” at the La- fayette Square Opera House by the Castle Square Opera Company served to attract a large audience last night, that was not disappointed inthe expectations raised by the announcement that Jakobowski's tune- ful and popular work was to be presented. ‘The opera was, as is the case with all the productions “bf this company, handsomely Staged and richly costumed. Some of the principals were not over-familiar with the lines and music, but of course tiis will be overcome tonight. The work of the chorus was strong and well done, and all of its numbers that are known so well were given hearty recognition. Several new members of the company were introduced last night. Grace Golden and Bessie Fair- bairn were excellent, the former winning an emphatic encore for her lullaby song in the second act. Miss Fairbairn is a splen- did actress and made a distinct hit as the Princess. One of the good hits of work in the opera was that of Gertrude Quinlan as Javotte, who made a very fetching sou- brette and sang in good form. Bell Trav- ers, a Washington girl, gave ‘the small part of Cerise very acceptably. Probably the best acted character in the production was Arthur Wooley’s Caddy, and although the memories of Francis Wilson in the part have not yet begun to grow dim, Mr.Wooley filled the requirements with great succers. Wm. Wolff as Ravey was also ood. most satisfactory number in the whole op- «ra was the solo of John Sheeka; in the seo- ond act. Rarely has the song been given in Washington with better effect, and Mr. Sheehan's effort was by far the most artis- tic piece of work that has been done by any member of this company during its present stay in Washington. Melville Stew- ert and Raymond Hitchcock were both good in their parts. “Erminie” will be given all this week, with the usual mati- nees. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—The Cummings Stock Compary opened a season of summer drama at the Academy last night with De Mille’s “Lost Paradise.” There was a fair- sized audience, and not much enthusiasm was manifested over the play, which beh with labor troubles, with which Washi tenians are not, as a rule, familiar, except through the newspapers. Whatever lack | whom much of the ‘THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1897-14 PAGES. of enthusiasm was manifest seeméd -due | more to the play than to the company, which, as a whole, is a very, good one. Mr. Ralph E. Cummings as Reuben War- ner, the superintendent of the wotks, had the role of ‘the hero of the story, and gave a really finished and well-studied renditioa of the part. Miss Grace Huntirgton as the heroir.e was not so fortunate, not so much thrcvgh filure-on her part as the impos- sibility of the part. The great majority of people can scarcely be led to believe that even the daughter of an ironmaster, with decidedly strong views on most topice, and capable in an emergency of taking’ hold and running the rolling mill, could yet go about making propositions of matrimony to pretty much all the men she meets. In- deed, Mr. De Mille has followed the. im- pression throughout that the love-making should be done by the feminine characters in the play. A Washington girl, Miss Net- tie Marshall, made a decidedly good im- pression in Cinders, a rather difficult and unattractive part. As a rule all the mem- bers of the company displayed evidence of talent, and no doubt when they get set- tled in their new surroundings and get a play better adapted to Washington audi. ences, they will be able to attract good houses. GRAND OPERA HOUSE.—“Black Patti's Troubadours” opened last night to a big audience at the Grand Opera House and the week promises to be a successful one in every detail. The operatic part of the program is preceded by a side-solitting musical farce, “At Jolly Coon-ey Island.” This in itself is an evenin’s entertainment. Following the farce is a specialty program of unusual merit, and throughout its dif- ferent parts the audience was enthusiastic. There are over fifty people in the com- pany, and all of them deserve credit for their work. The comedy part of the show is in charge of Bob Cole and Billy Johnson. They keep the audience in a continual vp- roar. Cole was generously applauded at all times last night. Johnson won the sudi- ence by his rendering of descriptive songs. Ed. Goggin and Charles Davis are good in specialty work of the antic sort, 2nd were kept busy by reneated calls.. "Mme. M. Sissieretta Jones, the “Black Patti,” sang to great advantage last night, and was generously applauded, the white peo- ple in the audience being fully as enthusi- astic as those of the singer's own color. In solo and chorus “Black Patti’ was equally at ease. There was unlimited praise for her spiendid voice. The chorus supporting her is remarkably strong 2nd effective. She was assisted by Camille Cas- selle, contralto: Lloyd G. Gibbs, tevor: Anthony D. Byrd, baritone, and J. W. Thomas, basso. Their work was on a par with hers. In fact the entire company is in harmony, with no discordant features observable anywhere. THE MADRIDS' CONCERT.—The an- nual concert of the Madrids, the well known mandolin and guitar club of this city, attracted a large and enthusiastic audience of fashionable people to the Co- lumbia Theater last night. Among the audience, seated in a box, was ex-Queen Liliuokalani and some of her friends, and during the evening two selections written by her were played. The program lengthy one, but so entertaining and pleas ing were ail its features that it did not at any time become tiresome. The cvening number was three selections played by a mandolin, guitar and banjo o1 ra of 100 pieces. Liliuokalani’s number, entitled “The Queen's Jubilee,” was played by the orchestra. It did not receive much notice as a musical selection, however, and from its mournful tone gave one the i given. V.

A reading of one of Browning's poems was given by Mr. John Tweedale, whu was followed by mem- bers of the Burnt Cork Club in a pleasing negro specialty. The quartet of the club sang several numbers with good effect, and the banjo playing of Steve Clements and the whistling and imitations of Milton Ciark were much enjoyed.

Cleather of London on the relationsnip between Wagner's work and theosophy. A large number of the local or- ganization of theosophists and their friends was present, and the lecture was listened to with the greatest attention. Mr. Crump and Mrs. Barclay played portions of Wag- ner’s works as duets on melodeon and piano, and, although they said they made no pretensions as musicians, their work was well received. is assured, ‘THE BIOGRAPH.—Another week of the biograph at Willard Hail ‘began Sunday night with added pictures. Among the new views is one of the Washington troops pass- ing in review before the Grant monument in New York at the dedication, and reveral of cavalry views. These horse pictures are notably attractive, showing such life and naturalness as almost to frighten an audi- ence as they come charging down the pic- ture as if to break from the screne and Leat down upon the people in front. Especially nerve straining is that one in which the horses are at play in the stable yard. The other pictures retain their interest, and the | applause is frequent and always sincere. THE DAMROSCH SOCIETY.—Tomorrow evening at the Columbia the Damrosch So- ciety will present as pleasing a program as music lovers could wish. The members have worked diligently, and the exccllence they have attaiged will please :heir hear- ers. One of the selections to be presented by the Maud Powell Ladies’ Trio, Schutt’s “A la Russe,” will be scmething of a noy- elty, as it will here be performed for the ‘first time in America.

Bar- ring the burlesques,, which are only pas- sable, the show-ds really meritorious, the olio being not only a long ene, but filled with first-class “specialties. Miss Annie Morris as the “up-tosdate girl,” opened the performance, after the company had pre- sented “The Ca¢ets’ Reception,” and was pleasing. in a bright comedy: skit that was enter- taining. Je:ome-and ‘Sawyer contributed a grotesque dance-that was laughable, and Snyder and Buckley hada musical spe- cialty that was first class. Mile. Meza, a Spanish contortionist, twisted herself into intricate krots, and wound up witha dar- ing pose on a high pedestal. The non-ap- pearance of the Farrelis was explained by Manager Sheridan, who stated that their train had been delayed, but that they would positively be on hand tonight. After the after piece, “A Night With Pity Us,” some excellent pictures were ‘shown-on the Cinematasccpe that were enjoyed. DAViD GARRICK.—The performance of the Curroll Institute Dramatic Club at the Columbia Theater tonight promises to be the amateur dramatic event of the season, just as it has heen in former years. The play to be presented, ‘David Garrick,” is ene in which the company has shone in past seasons, and the excellent work of the members of the club will ‘be remembered for a long time to come by those who saw it. The cast will be made up of the very best talent the club can’ afford, including Kdward J. Walsh,. Percy F. Leach, Géo. H. O'Connor, Wm. 8. McCarthy, A. T. Sea- man, John J. Nolan, Miss Anita Hendrie, Miss Anne Hathaway, Miss Nora Cocker, Thomas Solon and Blake Talty. All of these are well known in Washington, and their work individually and collectively has been made the subject of much favorable gomment. The performance of “David Gar- tick” will be preceded by the one-act sketch “Barbara.” The entertainment is givén for the benefit of the Catholic University Ath- letic fund and there will be, of course, a crowded house. ee eee The Sale Opens Tomorrow of antique furniture, silver, &c., in useful and ornamental shapes, within the rooms of Sloan & Co., 1407 G st., at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., continuing Thursday and Friday at same hours.—Adv Sai es Releaxed on Personal Bonds. stalwart fellow, muscular and who appeared to be able to fell an ox with a blew of his fist, was begging yesterday on 18th street.

The announcement in several American Papers that the term of President Cisneros of the Cuban republic expires May 22 in- stant is incorrect, and the same is true of his alleged determination to retire from the head of the government. His term will not expire until May, 1898, and meantime an e'ection will be held during the coming month for electors, who will meet in Sep- tember next to-choose a president. If Pres- sident Cisneros determines to refuse a re- election, which does not now seem: probable, his successecr will probably be Gen. Bal- tholome Maso, the present vice president. The name of Dr. Eusevio Hernandez has been mentioned as that of a formidable candidate, but Cubans in authority are of the opinion that he has no chances. The name of Tomas Estrada Palma has also been mentioned in the same connection. ~ Se Se Money to lend at 5 and G per cent on real estate. Frank T.

She also had sore eyelids. We began giving her Hood's Sar- suparilla one year ago, and for some time we could not sec any change in ber con- dition, but we were persistent in the use of Hood's Sarvuparilla, and in a few weeks more I noticed some improvement. After she had taken three bottles she was per- fectly well, Her face is now entirely free from any marks or sears. I think it is mo more than right to give this testimonial for Hood's.” Mrs, MILTO!
