He had a e collection of autographs end pictures of prominent men, and a few days before his death wrote to the Post- master General for his signature and like- ness.

THE CENTRAL LABOR UNION Weekly Meeting of the Organization Held Last Evening, Public Meeting Announced at Which National Leaders Will Be Present and Deliver Addresses. The meeting last evening of the Central Labor Union was attended by the repre- sentatives of nineteen organizations. Presi- dent Milford Spohn occupied the chair and Messrs. J..J. Crowley and Jarvis B. Moul- den acted as secretaries. A commenication was read from Engi- neers’ Union, No. 25, of Washington, in which ‘t was stated that a brewery firm in this city was discriminating against the members of their organization in the em- ployment of engineers, and they requested that the firm and its product be declared unfair. The matter was referred to the grievance committee, with the request. that the latter report on the matter at the next meeting of the Central Labor Union. A communication was also read from W. C. Pearce, secretary of the United Mine Workers at Columbus, Ohio, acknowledging the receipt of additional moneys during the last few days. The Electrical Workers reported that a prominent dry goods firm in the city was employing non-union electricians on a big improvement which is being made by them, and they requested that the firm be placed on the unfair list. This matter was re- ferred to the grievance committee. Credentials were received for delegates from the Printing Pressmen’s Union and the Engineers’ Union, and the delegates were admitted and obligated. Planing Mill Employes. Delegate Silver reported that the joint committee from the Building Trades Coun- cil and Central Labor Union appointed to call on the owners of planing mills op- erated by machinery in the interest of labor organjzations had performed the duty, and the proprietors all stated they were willing their men should join a union con- nected with the Central Labor Union if they so desired. The committee appointed to consider the matter of the erection of Senator Foraker’s heuse reported having called on the ater. The latter had promised that n but union laber should be employed on his work, and he said it was so stipulated in the agreement. The committee stated that notwithstanding this the contracting car- penter persists in employing several non- union carpenters. These carpenters, it was said, applied for membership at the last meeting of the Brotherhood of Carpenters, but were refused, and the matter of al- lowing them to unite with the body is now being considered by the executive commit- tee of the Carpenters’ Council. Public Meeting Announced. Announcement was made that in view of the meeting at this time in Washington of the executive council of the American Fed- eration of Labor, a public meeting will be held this evening at Electrical Workers’ Hall, No. 628 Louisiana avenue, under the auspices of the Central Laber Union and Building Trades Council. The meeting will be addressed by M. D. Ratchford, presi- dent of United Mine Workers’ Union; Cam- eron Miller of the executive board of the same organization; F. J. Weber, general organizer of the American Federation of Labor for the Kanawha, W. Va., district; President Gompers, Vice Presidents Mc- Guire, Dunean, O'Connell and Garland and eeretary Morrison of the executive coun- cil of the A. F. of L.

NEW NATIONAL THEATER.—The au- dience was not obliged to wait for the play to begin in order to enjoy itself at the New National Theater last night. The new drop curtain is one of the most ambitious crea- tions of its kind that Washington has seen for some time. On a background of blue, within a gold rococo border, is a picture for which Dream” furnished inspiration to the artists. A medley cf popular airs gave a pre- Mminary suggestion of the aims and quality It is a farce designed for the simple and avowed pur- pose of popular entertainment. There are of “The Tarrytown Widow.” no implied insinuations that even though the auditor may be slightly wearied he should be cheerful because it is improving “The his mind and doing him good. Widow” is constructed quite closely on the lines of legitimate farce, and is, therefore, wanting in the multitudinous array of popu- lar songs, the musical finales and the sprinklings of specialty which have here- tofore been prominent features of enter- tainments in which Mr. Joseph Hart ap- peared. The author, C. T. Dazey, has not rejected old material in the construction of the play, and has succeeded in arranging a maze of complications which lead the char- acters into genuinely amusing bewilder- ment. Mr. Hart demonstrated that he can be amusing without the semi-vaudeville accompaniments which he has previously had in the delineation of his favorite char- acter—the exuberant old gentleman on a lark. Mr. Hart has a natural flow of en- thusiasm, that keeps interest from flag- ging. There are no implied claims of extreme polish in ‘the acting nor of intense erudition in the authorship of the piece, and the op- portunities for introducing new material, should this be found desirable, are unlimit- ed. Mr. Hart's songs were hugely enjoyed, and Miss Carrie De Mar won an encore with a new negro ditty. Robert Paton Gibbs did a splendid piece of character act- ing in the role of an irascible French noble- man. THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—There came to the Academy last evening a play practically unheralded, but which not oniy thoroughly pleased and delighted the large audience present, but which is also sure to be one of the real successes of the sea- son, “At Piney Ridge,” a representation of life in the mountains of Tennessee by David Higgins. The play is full of action, yet pleasingly devoid of rant and of blood and thunder. Throughout its four acts runs a quiet line of comedy, and although the plot is not entirely new, reminding one of Mark Twain's “Pudden-head Wilson,” yet it is very cleverly worked out, and in an entirely different manner. It is, too, a piece of several decidecly novel situations, the effect being reached in some instances rather by suggestion than by action or dialogue, a treatment which adds to rather than detracts from the general excellence of the prcduction. In the character of Jack Rose, the hero, the author of the Flay does much to negative the proposi- tion that authors are poor actors. Quiet and effective, he is never inconsistent, and never loses his hold upon the audience. As 'Cindy Lane, a wronged but loving girl of the mountains, George Waldron did well with a rather difficult part. Helen Bell was pretty if not wholly effective as Azalie, the heroine, and Mrs. Louise Rial succeeded well with her portrayal of Dag- Mar, an octoroon. As Chlotilda Beverly and Manmy Summers, Sarah Cameron did not a little good character work. Fred- erick Julian as General Deering was ef- fective, as was Edwin Holland as the vil- lain, Mark Briarson. Henry Hilliard as Major Jartref, and Van Kinzie as Abe Moonlight, a young darkey, had the comedy parts, and the latter did one of the best pieces of negro work seen here for a long time. The other characters were well por- trayed, the company being a very care- fully selected one and thoroughly well bal- anced. “At Piney Ridge’ wili be _pre- sented at every performance this week LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. —Notwithstanding the fact that the “Isle of Champagne” has been discovered for sev- eral years, and in that time has lost and gained a head, the land has lost none of its alluring qualities, and its assoctations are as attractive as ever to an audience. Last night's production of the opera com- ique at the Lafayette Square Opera House, was the first by the new company, and that fact was painfully in evidence. As King Pomery Sec Richard Golden failed to come up to the splendid work giv- en by Seabrooke in the part, though it may be said that he gave a new and or- iginal version. Katherine Germain as Pris- ciila was attractive and her costumes were rich and elaborate, but she is hardly suffi- ciently youthful to realize the author's ideal. She made a hit in the “Dove Song” solo, and also in the duet with Prince Kissengen she was warmly ap- plauded. The whole performance, how- ever, while the piece was splendidly staged and costumed, showed that it had been insufficiently Yehearsed, and unless the people get together better the attempt to revive the opera which Seabrooke made so popular will not meet with success. COLUMBIA THEATER.—Whether it was the cool weather that has overtaken Wash- ington, the opera chosen for the occasion, or the fame of the Castle Square Opera Company as a purveyor of standard music, it is a fact that a crowded house greeted that organization in a presentation of the romantic “Maritana” at the Columbia last right. “Maritana” has not been sung in this city for many years, and its beautiful gems and fine choruses brought many memories to the minds of those who heard it sung last night. The music of “Mari- tana” is as florid and as difficult to sing as that cf some other grand operas that are more pretentious, but it may be said that, with possibly one exception, the work was done last night with a degree of skill and artistic finish, both as regards chorus and principals, that could hardly be bet- tered in a light opera organization. The scenery, as usual, was artistically chosen, while the costumes and other accessories were fully in keeping with this branch of the production. ‘the orchestra, augmented, and with the addition of a harp, under the direction of Adolph Licsagang, gave cffi- cient assistance and scored a round of ap- plause for its work in the overture. The cast was well chosen, with the possible exception of Maritana. Miss Carla Eng- Jander does not exactly realize the part either as to presence, voice or enunciation, and it must be said that most of the num- bers in which she had the leading voice did not come up to expectaticn. Her voice is @ mezzo-soprano without the sympathetic quality so necessary to the score of Mari- tana, though it was said she was suffering from a throat trouble last night. The gem of the evening was easily discernible in Miss Lizzie Macnichol’s “Alas, Those Chimes,” in the score of Lazarillo, and “he received for her work in this number an enthusiastic encore and a handsome tribute of flowers. Her voice also showed up splendidly in the “Holy Mother, Guide His Footsteps,” the trio, “Turn On, Old Time,” and, in fact, all of the numbers in which she had a part. Close upon Miss Macnich- ol’s singing was the work of Joseph Shee- han as Don Caesar. Sheehan was, per- haps, in the best voice. possible, and his work in “Let Me Like a Soldier Fall,” and in “Memories of the Past,” was absolutely without reproach. He seems to appear best in a rollicking character, and in all his solos, and especially in the trio in the second act, the beautiful quality of his voice was apparent. Melville Stewart as Don Jose scored a distinct hit in his solo, sand showed a depth and quality of voice that surprised even his admirers. His part | Royal, | The Absolutely Pure Baking Powder.

Delegates to National Encampment Leave for Columbus. Delegates from this city to attend the Union Veteran Legion’s encampment at Columbus, Ohio, left Washington at 3:40 o'clock yesterday over the Pennsylvania railroad. They made the journey on two special Pullmans, on the sides of which were streamers announcing their destina- tion. General Agent Studd of the Pennsyl- vania escorted the party. It was expected that the delegation, numbering nearly 200, would arrive in Columbus this morning, where they would be met by the reception committee of the encampment. At Balti- more they were joined by the delegates from that city, and it was anticipated that the members from the east would be met at Pittsburg. Corporal Tanner and wife were among the delegates leaving Washington. Commissioner of Pensions Evans and Gen- eral Baird are expected to leave today.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.—The old story of the trials of the investor, attempts of others to steal the product of his genius and ultimate triumph: over difficulty is por- trayed In “Patent Applied For,” which drew a large audience at the Grand Opera House last evening. The comedy-drama is thoroughly realistic, and the interest of the audience is never allowed to lag. Beatrice, as the captain's daughter and the cabin boy, captured the favor of the audience at once. Frequent repetitions of her dances were called for. Ed. W..Hume, as Jack Morris, a young machinist, was also highly successful in his specialties, while Chas. Barry, as Steamship Bill, the ocean tramp, contributed much merriment to the per- formance. The mechanical effects produced in “Patent Applied For” are even superior to those of “The Limited Mail,” the splen- did effects secured constantly calling forth round after round of applause. “Patent Applied For” will remain at the Grand during the remainder of the week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. BIJOU FAMILY THEATER.—Few thea- ters ever opened under “brighter auspices than did the Bijou last night. Under new Management, with progressiveness as the watchword, the caterers at this house have spared no expense to make the” Bijou a popular place of amusement. The plan to be followed is new to Washington, although it prevails in all large cities, where it has met with universal success. It is that of a continuance performance, so that one in search of diversion may drop into the Bijou between 1 and 10:30 p.m. and witness for @ meager price a first-class performance. The theater was as bright as a new pin when the doors opened last night. In the EXCURSIONS, ETC. RAILROADS. Mount Vernon, Arlington and Alexandria. Pennsylvania avenue avd 13% street. eee BR.
