When the Christian Endeavorers held their great convention-in this city last sum- mer the authorities of the Central Unign Mission took great interest in the evangel- istic work of the convention, and many cf them went into the poorer districts of Washington with the bands of Endeavor- ers. With the insight gained then, and also with their already extenstve knowledge of the needs of the city in this respect, the Central Union Mission directors are making preparations for a summer campaign of evangelism, which it is intended shall eclipse anything of the kind ever attempt- ed in this city before. With this object in view, a determined canvass of the city 1s being made with which to carry on the work, and already many persons are con- tributing, one lady who does not wish her name mentioned having sent in a check for one hundred dollars. It is estimated that the two principal branches of the summer work, Gospel wa- gon and tent, will each cost twenty dollars a week to run. The Gospel wagon, for the first time in its nistory, is being used rightly, and will continue to be so during the next four months. It will be assisted by the Bruen wagon, and betjveen them it is expected that every nook and corner of Washington will be visited. The larger wagon is now spending a good deal of time in the southwest section, in the neighbor- heod of the wharves, and is also seen on Market space. The other feature of the summer cam- paign is the tent work and the preparations for that are being looked after by Mr. R. E, Redding, who has had considerable exper- ferce in this line in Virginia and else- where. If possible, two tents will be se- ctred, and one will be used in any case. The tent is to be so arranged as to accom- modaie about five hundred people, and will be fitted up with a platform, seats ard an organ. The first tent will be pitched prob- ably in Southwest Washington, arid, ufter deing service there for three or four weeks, it will be moved to some other section of the city. Mr. Redding has arranged to have the services conducted witn the same regularity as those of a church are, and for this purpese is arranging for a corps of S, sers and workers for the ngs. In order, however, that these extra ef- forts of the mission may bring forth the best results, an auxiliary, composed of members of several of the local churches, is in process of organization, and when form- will be able to see that the converts ade by the summer evangelistic campaign are not lost sight of. A meeting of the members of this auxiliary was held last evening at the mission building on Louis- jana avenue, and was very successful, there being representatives present from nearly thirty churches. Among those who have signified their in- tention of co-operating in these efforts cf the Central Union Mission are S. W. Wood- ward, Wm. Redin Woodward, W. H. H. Smitn, Mrs. S. D. La Fetra, Grant Lee, Fred. Warman, Vernon Hodges, Wm. B. Robinson, Dr. George C. Samson, G. W. F. Swartzell, B. H. Warner, W. B. Gurley, F. A. Stier, C. B. Baill, P. C. Claflin, A. S. Caywood, T. A.

Memorial Exercises Held Under spices of O. P. Morton Post. The memorial exercises at Harmony cem- etery Tuesday, under the auspices of the O. P. Morton Post, G. A. R., were highly successful. The Butler Zouaves acted as an escort to the post. The orator of the day was Robert H. Terrell. The other speakers were Rev. Joseph Wheeler, Rev. George Hatton, Dr. Jonn P. Turner and Maj. Chas. B. Fisher. Music was furnished by a glee club, and Miss Bessie Hamilton recited “The Burial ef Colonel Shaw.” The subject of Mr. Terrell’s oration was “Col. Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Ma: sachusetts Regiment, Colored Voiuntee: Mr. Terrell paid a high tribute to the color- ed soldiers in the rebellion. Touching Col. Shaw and his famous regiment, he said: “The noble and lofty record of the black troops that fought at Fort Wagner in- scribed on the most thrilling pages of the history of our great civil war. “It is memorable as the supreme test of negro courage on the fieid of battle. “The scene at Fort Wagner on that terri- ble July night was’ an impressive one and so filled with incidents of daring and valor that language must fail aptiy to describe it. It was there, under ‘a fire of grape and canister, shot and shell, which sowed the ground with rugged iron and garnished it with the wounded and the dead,’ that in seeming defeat the negro won his gr. est victery, and made for himself a pla of equality as a soidier with the othe w were fighting for the same holy caus: “It was peculiar, this Saxon prejudi that made the troops of the north willing to fight from behind breastworks thrown up by black laborers, but unwilling to fight side by side with these same men wearing the uniform of a soldier and firing frto the ranks of a common enemy. But such an utmost test of courage, such a ter- rible proof of heroism, as was witnessed at Port Hudson, Milliken’s Bend, Petersburg ard Fort Wagner, fixed for all time the status of the negro soldier in our army.” “At first Robert Gould Shaw was a private in the New York National Guards; then a Heutenant in the Massachueetts Second, called ‘The Fighting Second. While hold. ing the last named commission, Governor rew offered him the position of colonel a regiment of colored volunteers that Massachusetts proposed to raise. At first the young officer hesitated, but after re- flection, he accepted the offer of Governor Andrew and went about his work with an earnestness that was nothing less than a ccnsecration of his life to what he re- garded as the behests of honor, patriotism and humanity. “It is often a costly sacrifice to defend and maintain a priceless principle—a sa fice that consecrates all a man is or ever hopes to be to the work before him. And this was the case with Colonel Shaw. He waved aside all that heart could desire to make life’s morning full of gracious joy. He gave up a cultivated home; he ieit a $ and beloved family anda bride of twenty-six days; he put all of his hap- piness in peril, entered upon the life of a warridr and unflinchingly obeyed to the jast with devotion and enthusiasm what he regarded as a sacred duty—a duty made desperate by the high exigencies of the hour.” Au- —_—.__ An Unusual Sale of Fine Furniture.

NATIONAL THEATER.—The exhibition of the school of light gymnastics at the National Theater it might wes most successful and reflected credit upon the conductor of beth the performance and the school, Mr. Raymond Riordan. The main feature of the exhibition was the production of the opera 1900,” written by Mr. Riordan. The music, which was bright and catchy, was written by Emil Christian, and the childish voices seemed just fitted to the score without sacrificing any diffi- cult passages. The costuming and stage effects were excellent, while the work of the children showed the careful attention that had been bestowed on their training. The cast was made up of Laura Eichel- berger, President What; Ida Huse, Colonel Powder; Amy Simonds, Major Minor; Earl Hutchinson and Charles Prior, E Pluribus Unum; Ethel Nelson, Captain Thought; Irene Dietrich, Captain Rides; James Cole, Private Splits; Virgie Becket, Lieutenant Young; Ray Woodward, Merry Leese; Edna Drew, Don Key; Katie Taylor, Buttons; Edna Drew, Billy; Eva Weltz, Helmet; Maize Orbella, Step Lightly; Helen Durnin, the daughter of the regiment and Dinin- ger, and Leura Bay Eichelberger, Sergeant Came. There were many incidental feat- ures presented by the pupils of Mr. Riordan. The Kettler Brothers did a baton-swinging turn; Misses Swingle, Jones and Wilbur, a club-swinging exercise; May Orbella, fancy dancing; Marian Blanchard, dumb-bell ex- ercise; James Cole, hoop work; Edna Drew, Eva Welty and Ray Woodward, acrobatics; James Cole and Maize Orbella, contortion act; May Cole, bag punching, and Homer Deis, a display of skating.. The music was furnished by pupils of the Taylor school, Canton Potomac Field Band and a juvenile orchestra under the direction of Emil Chris- tiani. Preceding the opera the Soldiers’ Home Dreratic Club gave an enjoyable performance of the comedy “An Amateur Rehearsal.” The cast was as follows: Mr. Hutchinson, Perkins; Mr. Test, Yardsley; Mr. Piatt, Barlow; Mr. English, Bradley; Miss Ross, Mrs. Perkins: Miss Potter, Mrs. Anderson, and Miss Eichelberger, Mrs. Bradley. All the characters were taken with excellent effect, and the whole pro- duction was enjoyable. OPERA COMPANY SOUVENIRS.—This week {s rather a “feature” week with the Castl2 Square Company at the Lafayette Square Opera House. Each evening this week the performance of “Paul Jones” is brought to a close with the singing of the “Star Spangled Barner” in a manner to make the “jingoes” howl with delight and make even the most conservative stand up while the national song is being sung.jAt the close of the song Monday night and last night the audience, which had been helping in swelling the chorus, cheered and cheered again. Last night was also the fiftieth performance of the Castle Square Company Ir: this city. Each lady in attend- ance was presented with a pretty bottle of delicate violet water, and the theater gave one the impression of a violet patch. This afternoon was the regular “rose’’ matinee, and each lady present was presented with a handsome specimen. HIS LITTLE DODGE.—In pursuance of their policy of alternating new plays with popular successes that have not yet been worn out, the Columbia Stock Company wil) next week present “His Little Dodg a comedy which, while it has never here- tofore been seen in this country, is at pres- ent the laughing success of London and Paris. It was secured for America by E. E. Rice during his recent tour abroad, and will be first produced in Washington with his consent and assistance in the matter of properly staging the play as it has been done abroad. “His Little Dodge” was adapted by Justin Huntly McCarthy from the French of Georges Freydeau and Mau- rice Hennequin, and has enjoyed a lone, laughing run at the Royaity Theater, Lon- don, where Fred Terry is the leading comedian, under the management of Geo. | Alexander. Both the cast and the play are short, but thé three brief, brisk acts are said to contain more ingenious funmaking than any plece imported this season. Moreover, it is said to be as thoroughly | adapted to American life and manners as it was to the French and English. To fill out the evening, and also to introduce the entire company, a curtain raiser will be given—‘“One Touch of Nature.” This is the little dramatic sketch in which J. H. Stod- dard and Maud Harrison made such a suc- cess, repeating it last week in New York. It ranges from light comedy to some in- tensely dramatic situations, and will serve to introduce Miss Grace May Lamkin and Mr. Henry Bergman in the most suitable roles they have yet had this season. Miss Lamkin made her first big hit in this part, and is said to do it admirably. “THE LITTLE TYCOON."—At the La- fayette next week the Castle Square Opera Company will be heard in Willard Spen- cer’s pretty opera, “The Little Tycoon,” with all its familiar and funny characte: including General Knickerbocker, the art tecratie descendant of an old family; Vio- let, his charming daughter; Alvin Barry, a young Wall street broker, who is in love with Violet; Rufus Ready, a lively young American; Lord Dolphin, an ideal descend- ant of effete monarchical institutions, whose conversational ability is limited to the monosyllables “Oh, ah; Teddy, the Milesian valet of his “ludship;’’ a chorus of tourist maidens, chaperoned by Mi Hurricane, a Bostonese schoolmistress; Doily Dimple, Violet's irrepressible friend, and a_ chorus of college boys. The “Little Tycoon” is full of pretty music, pleasing and in keeping with good taste. There is a light ring of the melodious running all through the opera that carries the auditor along on a soft wave of vibrations with most encaanting effects. Raymond Hitchcock, who has proved such a favorite here, and who made a decided hit as “Ko-Ko” in the “Mikado” last week, will be General Knickerbocker, and handsome “Joe” Sheehan will be Alvin Barry, with petite and winsome Grace Golden as Violet. A prosperous week 1s predicted for the “Little Tycoon.” KATIE ROONEY'’S BURLESQUERS.. Katie Rooney's Burlesquers and Extrav: ganza Company will be the attraction at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week. Katie Rooney, who is at the head of the company, is a charming little artist of con- siderable talent, having starred success- fully in several melodramas and farce com- edies, and her versatility is admiraoly adapted to burlesque and light operatic roles. The supporting company is an ex- ceptionally good one and includes a num- ber of well-known vaudeville artists. The opening burletta is entitled “The Million- aire’s Reception,” a clever arrangement of popular musical hits and witty dialogue, which serves to introduce the full strength of the company, including a number of pretty, shapely girls. The olio which fol- lows is made up of Mattie and Pat Rooney, jr., in a novel singing and dancing spe- cialty; Miss Elsie Eastman, the dancing eccentrique; Chas. Wilber, descriptive vo- calist; Whitelaw and Stewart, inimitable dialect comedians, and the sisters Hill, the petite burlesquers. The concluding feature of the program will be an original musical farce, entitled “The Irishman’s Dream,” during the action of which will be intro- duced the gay girls from Paris, the night- gown gavotte, the triple Trilbys dance and the Cripple Creek bandits. ————ee Saturday and Sunday Excursions to the Country.

He was attended by Drs. Bahr and Jeunemann, and soon grew so much better that he was permitted to leave. Some time afterward he had a sec- ond fit, and had to be again sent to the Emergency. Here he became so violent that the physicians were forced to place him in the strong room. Late in the after- noon Spencer appeared to be recovering. It seems to you that that tickling, hacking cough is all in thé throat. But your doctor will tell you that this sensation is often deceiving. The cough is often the signal of deeper trouble in the bronchial tubes or in the hhing tissue itself. These inflamed membranes can only be healed by treating the system. For all lung, troubles, especially in the earlier stages, no remedy equals Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil. Its spe- cial power is in healing the inflamed tissues of the lungs. CITY ITEMS.

Showing Made at a Meeting of the Boaré Yesterday. At the regular monthly meeting of the board of managers of the Associated Charl- ties, held yesterday afternoon, at the cen- tral office, 811 G street northwest, the re- Port of the secretary, Mr. Wilson, was pre- scnted. It showed that during the month applications for relief were received from 115 separate families against 188 in April. Applications foc work were received from nineteen persons. Relief was procured for sixty-seven families. The report showed that fifty families which will need constant relief are under the association's care, and the fund on hand will be about sufficient to supply the demand. Agents are seeking to encourage the poor to save during the sum- mer, and sixty-four persons now have sav- ings books. Nervous Headac A Tumor Like a Scrof- ulous Bunch on the Back--Painful and Troublesome-- “My first trouble began with nervons head- aches, which would last two pr three days. At the age of 55 a tumor formed on my spine, which was very painful, but did not rise or discharge. The doctor thought beat to cut it oat, but I objected. It finally broke and discharged a great deal. I received no benefit at the Springs which I visited, and the tumor finally began to rise inwardly and discharge. Seeing in ulvertise of In order to give the employes a half holi- Hood's Sarsaparilia, I thought I would tee day during the summer months, it was de- | % it. Before I had fisished takly one Meaty found 1 much relieved, and when T had taken two bottles the rising began to break inwardly. T continued the use of Hood's Sar- Saparilla, and afier I had taken 12 bottles T was entirely cured." W. D. FORE, Gil- liem, Missouri cided to close the office at 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays from June 15 to September 15, as was done last summer. Owing to the fact that Mr. John Joy Edson, the treasurer of the society, will be absent from the city for the next three months, Mr. Tenny Ross was elected assistant treasurer, to act as treasurer during Mr. Edson’s absence. Secretary Wilson was elected a delegate to represent the society at the national eenference of charities and corrections to be held at Toronto, July 7 to 14.
