Election of Officers for the Ensuing Year—Sketch of the Organiza- tlon—The Membership. The twentieth annual meeting of the Masonic Veteran Association of the Dis- trict of Columbia was held Monday even- ing, and the following-named officers were elected: William Gibson, president; Simon Wolf, first vice president; Adam Gaddis, second vice president; A. H. Van Deusen, secretary; Thomas Dowling, treasurer; George Gibson and J. H. Trimble, stewards. Weston Flint, almoner. This ts one of the oldest organizations of its kind in the world, and, its members assert, has more than a national reputa- tion. It was founded by that eminent Mason and author, Albert Pike, August 20, 1879. He was its first president and was a re-elected until his death, in General Pike's allocutions and addresses, which were published by the association, but now out of print, are very rare, and are being sought after by Masonic libraries and collectors all over the world. The Coming Annual Dinner. Much interest and enthusiasm was mani- fested at the recent meeting, in an- Ucipation of the annual dinner, which will take place the 2ith instant, at which time an entirely new and what promises to be a very popular departure will be inaugu- rated. After a membership in the order of twen- ty-one years or over, a Mason may be- come a veteran, and be entitled to wear the medal of the association, which is of silver, circular and of the exact size of an American half dollar of the issue of 18 On one side is the square and compasses, the square representing 3 and 4, and around these the words “Unitas, Libertas, Cari- tas. On the other side a right-angle tri- angle, representing 3, 4 and 5, and round it “Masonic Vet. Association, D. C., U. S. A.,"” and under the triangle “Aug. 20, 1879."

At a meeting of the Anthropological So- elety in the assembly hall of the Cosmos Club last evening, Major J. W. Powell read a paper on hallucinations, which was followed by a discussion. i AMUSEMENTS, MR. E. S. WILLARD.—Mr. Willard wiil undoubtedly play to fine business next week at the Lafayette Square Opera House, as his repertoire is full of novelty and artistic productions, His first appearance here as “David Garrick’ will be made Monday evening, and his impersonation of this famous role is said to be convincing and strong in dramatic power, with the finest touches of comedy. The production, in cast, Stage settings and perfect costuming and attention to detail, is a remarkable one. Tuesday evening and Wednesday matinee and night he will be seen in his realistic portraiture of Dickens’ most beautiful crea- tion, “‘Tom Pinch,” which is certainly one of the features of his repertoire, the Dick- ens atmosphere pervading the whole pro- duction, which will be a delight to all ad- mirers of the famous novelist. Thursday evening, for one performance only, Henry Arthur Jones’ brilliant comedy, “The Rogue’s Comedy,” wil be given, with Mr. Willard as Bailey Prothers, the pretended clairvoyant, and Saturday evening the ever popular “The Middleman,” with Mr. Wil- Jard in his marvelous impersonation of the old potter, Cyrus Blenkarn. Seat sale opens tomorrow morning. PRIMROSE AND WEST.—Primrose and West's Minstrels are to play a return en- gagement at the New National Theater next week, but with a company that is promised to be an entirely different one from that which appeared here earlier in the season. William H. West is to present his latest grand march, called the “Zouave Patrol,” which he is to personally conduct. He will also act as “interlocutor” in the first part in his usual picturesque way. Of the members of the company Ezra Ken- dall is the most prominent. He is said to have been particularly successful in this new field tor him, and great things aré promised for him on the occasion of his present visit to Washington with Primrose and West. Carroll Johnson is well known as a minstrel man, and can usually be de- pended upon to furnish his quota of “fun,” while Billy Rice, said to be as fat as ever, is everybody's friend. Others in the com- pany are the Schrode Brothers, Falke and Semon, Trovollo, Gecrge W. Lewis, Charles Kent, Lewis Pritzkow and Alex. Cameron. A novelty is promised in “The Animated Music Sheet," said to be quite an oddity. “JACK AND THE BEANSTALK."— Beautiful Madge Lessing, who plays Jack in “Jack and the Beanstalk,” which fol- lows Mr. Willard at the Lafayette Square, is said to be a dream of loveliness in the strikingly picturesque costumes she wears. Madge, by the way, occupies the enviable position of “Queen of the Dudes” in New York, a rank accorded her by common con- sent when Lillian Russell laid the scepter down. She was seen here last with “In Gay New York,” in which she made such a great sensation in the character of Sallie Brown. Miss Lessing created the part of Jack in “The Strange Adventures of Jack and the Beanstalk,” but left it for a time to play the part of the mermaid in the New York production of “The Whirl of the Town.” Her success in these three plays as won for her the highest opinions of s and public. “NORTHERN LIGHTS.”—Beginning with Monday night. the Academy management will present for one Week that popular and successful war drama, “Northern Lights,” whicn is said to be the vest melodrama written by an American in years. It is in- finitely better than any English melodrama imported within that period of time. If spirited dialogue wedded to quick, nervous action be the height of melodramatic skill, then “Northern Lignts” is assuredly a masterpiece of its kind. Its authors show wonderful perfection of stage effect. They have constructed an ingenious, effective story, and told it in natural, vivacious dia- logue. THE HENSCHEL SONG RECITALS.— Crowded houses have greeted the Henschels everywhere, and it is to be hoped that Washington will respond in the same man- ner, for it is seldom that the music lover is offered thing that so appeals to all that is artistic as a Henschel recital. The Henschels’ art comes like na des- ert of clap-trap and after attending one of their re tively refreshed. Mrs. Hen: prano of rare purity nation of nner iveness, whilst fe pointed any, can excel Henschel’s rendition of such piece and if Mr. Archibald Douglass,” the “Erl King, Carl Lowe, the much negleeted ba and to hear him sing Schumann's fe elation.

The program to be presented is said to be an excellent one, being composed cf comedians of nd performers of is entitled : entire com- pany will appear. The scenery used in this act depicts an exact representation of the Madison Square Roof Garden, New York. The olio which follows is made up of Mc- Avoy and May, who will present that funny comedy creation, entitled “Crazy Conglom- Emma Carus,the talented baritone ; Gilbert and Goldie, the California entertainers; the three Hunbar sisters, in unique dances; the Judges, in difficult acro- batic feats, and others. The performance concludes with the operatic burlesque, en- titled “A Baris Girl in Saratoga, ich is from the pen of Fred Solomon.’ This part of the program is made a special feature, and has been staged with appropr scenery, bright, attractive costumes and an abundance of c and novel stage em- bellishments. ters in the bur- lesque are by the principal come ans of the company, Dick Bernard appearing as the German judg law to comedy who interpret » to laugh. The “HOGAN'S ALLEY."—Gilmore and Leon- ard will present at the Grand Opera House next Monday their second edition of ‘Ho- gan’s Alle an entirely new farce-comedy in three acts, by W. H. Macart. The plot hinges on twin sisters, who marry Hogan and Brogan, and the latter not knowing of the existence of the second sister, mis- takes her for his own wife, and finds her in compromising situations with Hogan. The fun eventuates around the: situations, although the sale of a horse in the first act also enters into the plot. Dur- ing the action of the play many excellent specialties are introduced by the following well-known artists: Tony Murghy, Eddie O'Dell, Will J. Hagan, Thompson and Brun- nell, Lem Towers, Clifford Meech, Lillian Shirley, Mazie King, Carrie Rose, Mina Shirley s Arnold, Alice Leslie, Maude and Ella Lepage, Bernardine Dale, Con- stance Lefevre and ‘Ireland's Kings,” Gil- more and Leonard. Act first shows the original Hogan's Alley; act second, Ho- gan’'s Cycle Club House on Riverside drive, and the third act is Hogan’s Alley Roof Garden by moonlight. Many new and novel acts are introduced in this production. A NEW PLAY.—“The Old Coat,”” a com- edy in three acts, by Lieut. W. H. Allderdin of the United States steamer Newport, will be produced for the first time by the Smyth & Rice Comedy Company at the Columbia Theater Saturday night. “THE SENATOR.”—Although }ir. W. H. Crene is meeting with great success in his new play, “A Virginia Courtship,” and full houses are greeting him every night, he has decided, in response to many r quests, to revive “The Senator” for Satur- day night. “MY BOYS."—At the Columbia Theater Monday evening George Richards and Eu- gene Canfield will present their latest suc- cess, “My Boys.” Richards made a decided hit in Hoyt’s “Midnight Bell” and “A ‘Temperance Town,” and to his clever work and that of Mr. Eugene Canfield much of the enormous success these plays attained 1s due. The announcement that on Mon- day evening at the Columbia Theater Richards and Canfield will be seen for the first time in this city in two new char- acters specially written for them in the comedy, “My Boys,” will call out a and fashionable audience. “My Boy: pronounced by competent critics as the brightest as well as the most amusing entertainment that has been offered for a long time. They will be assisted by an excellent cast, including Miss Sallie Stem- bler, Miss Mattie Keene, Miss May Mont- ford, Miss Harriet Willard, Miss Ida Ry- croft and Messrs. George E. Martin, Phil Robson, Arthur Saunders, Madison Corey and Frank Crane. New music and refined specialties will be introduced, and a highly refined and amusing entertainment is as- sured. THE CHURGHES CONFER Meeting of Representatises of Northem and Southern Methodism, Objects of the Ggthering —Views of Two Ministers-Fereign Work Under OgexSystem. ——— A joint commissian vwof the two great branches of the -JMethodist Episcopal Church in the Unifedi States will meet Friday morning in Foundry Church, 14th and G atreets northwest, as heretofore stated in The Star, for the purpose of considering matters which are regarded as of paramount interest te the members of the M. E. churches generally, and which can be managed by one set of ollicers as well as by two, and consequently at much less expense. Not Organic Unton. A leading Washington preacher sald last evening to a Star reporter: “This commission is not regarded as a step toward organic union. Our southern friends are not sufficiently in love with us yet to propose marriage or to entertain a@ proposal. But they-want peace and the best conditions for growth. This is right as far as it goes, and we meet them fully half way. “From the view point of some of the Southern Methodist leaders there are eer- tain conditions in Methodism which need treatment. In Japan, for instance, five branches of Methodism are at work there, each maintaining its own missions and schools, and all, by their own denomina- ional zeal, impressing the Japanese mind with the idea of discord rather than har- mony in the Christian world. “As all Methodisms teach one set of doc- trines, they ought to unite, to some extent, in mission work. Perhaps the two great Methodisms might at least profitably unite to erect a joint publishing house and edu- cational headquarters somewhere in Japan. “Perhaps, too, they might unite their forces in China far enough to establish a common printing house for their tracts and other ecucational requisites. Surely good would come of it.” Home Interests Considered. As to the possibilities of some suitable work for the commission in this country, a leading Southern Methodist preacher said: “Co-operation in, publishing and educa- tional work in the western hemisphere might save much, not only among the Spanish-speaking ‘people in Mexico and Central and South America, but even in states like Missouri and Illinois. Adopting in common, the same song books or nym- nals for the Sunday schools, leagues and church for all English-speaking Methodists would in time save millions of dollars and belt the world with strains of symphony and sympathy as unceasing as the roll of the British drum “A less cumbersome method of transfer of ministers between northern and southern conferences might also be adjusted to the great advantage of both. Representative Methodists in the south see no very great re why both Methodisms should not unite on a great university at Washington, D. C., for post-graduates of Methodist col- leges of all the world. “If our national capital with all its archi- tecture, art, libraries, museums, natural history and botanicad gardens, were roofed over, it would be ‘the college of the world,’ with the Washington monument for a spire or bell tower. A national Methodist uni- versity cf t kind will serve a much- needed barrier to any percolating, insidious, slowly ing and emcreaching foreign in- fluences that might arise.” —_ INSTALLATION, JOINT t and Corps Unite in an Interest- ing Program. George H. Thomas Post, No. 15, G. A, R., and George H. Thomas Corps, No. 11, W. R. C., Department of the Potomac, united in a joint public installation of the newly elected officers of their respective societies Monday evening.

Thayer, chairman of the library board; William A. De Caindry, treasurer of the assocjation, and Miss Gilkey, the librarian, It was stated thatethe total receipts for the year had been ‘$4,700.28 and the ex- penditures $4,108.71, leaving a balance of $600.57. There were added during the year 3,028 volumes, making a gotal on the shelves of 11,270 volumes. There was a discussion as to the needs of the brary and it;was stated that more books were needed, as well as more room. It was suggested that an effort should be made to bring the work of the library more prominently before the public and Increase the subscriptions, thus making it possible to provide more room and more books. Mr. J. K. McCammon resigned as trustee and Dr. T. 8. Palmer was elected in his stead. Other trustees chosen*were Prof. Alexander Graham Bells Dr. C. Hart Mer- riam, Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smith, T. L.

James Bradley, Alins George Monroe, Arrnigned for Stealin, A man who gave his name as James E. Bradley, but whose right name is said to be George Monroe, was today arraigned before Judge Kimball on the charge of stealing an overcoat, valued at $25, from Mr. James L. Watkins, while the latter was attending divine service at St. John’s Epis- copal Church, Sunday evening last. The prisoner asked for a jury trial and was committed to prison until wanted. Ac- cording to the statement of Policeman Cornwell, who, with Policeman Sanford, made the arrest, Bradley, as George Mon- roe, was convicted with Morton Westcott and the wife of the latter in 1891 of a dia- mond robbery at the Ebbitt House, and sent to Albany penitentiary for a term of. four years. After being released from pris- on, Monroe, it was said, went to Philadel- phia, where he committed another robbery and was sent to Moyamensing. From the latter prison, it is understood, he was re- leased about two months ago. Previous to serving terms in the prisons above mentioned, the prisoner, it is alleged, was confined in the Maryland penitentiary, oat known in Baltimore as “Money m. The accused was arrested bf the officers last evening on 414 street southwest, while he was trying to sell Mr. Watkins’ coat for $3. Upon being searched at the police station, a steel jimmy about twelve inches long was found in the prisoner's possession. —_—> COLUMBIS ALUMNI. Association Will lold Its Business Meeting and Reanion.

Proposition to Appoint Committee of Three to Co-Operate With Other Association Co ittees, ‘The regular meeting of the Columbia Heights Citizens’ Association was held last evening at St. Stepnen’s Parish Hall, 14th street and Kenesaw avenue, and the ’ses- sion was an animated one. A war of words was precipitated and for a time har- mony was banished from the assembiy. Finally however, peace was declared, to a certain extent at least, until the next meeting of the association. The trouble began when Mr. C. B. Tanner introduced a resolution providing for the appointment by the president of the asso- ciation of a committee of three, of which that official should be chairman, to form with like committees from the other citi- zens’ associations of the District a central committee, with power to consider all as- sociation matters, especially the matter of street extensions. President M. A. Ballin- ger had previously laid before the meeting @ letter from Mr. George H. Dana, secre- tary of a meeting of delegates from some five or six associations held last month, inviting the Columbia Heights Citizens’ Association to send representatives to a meeting to be held the 12th instant. The resolution was violently opposed by several members, by Mr. C. S. Bundy among others, he offering a substitute for Mr. Tanner's resolution to the effect that the committee of three from the associa- tion should only represent the association in matters appertaining to the highway act. Mr. Bundy said he was opposed to farming out to the committee of three, or to any other body, the rights or powers of the association, and he predicted that if the resolution of Mr. Tanner was adopted the Columbia Heights Association within a week's time would be as the egg shell ts to the egg. He insisted that the members of the association could not with any self-respect appoint a committee with such powers. The association might as well go into bank- ruptcy as to abdicate its powers and rights to a committee. Committee Should Be Elected. Mr. O'Donoghue moved that the commit- tee be elected, if provided for at all, de- claring that it would be un-American to authorize the president of the association to appoint a committee of which he is to be chairman. Mr. Cobb also opposed the Tanner resolution, as did others, and the mover of the resolution remarked that he Was unable to understand why it should be so misconstrued. He explained, how- ever, that if the association did not_know any more about it than Mr. Bundy did he would be opposed to it, too. In this way the discussion ran along for more than an hour, during which time President Ballinger took the floor for the purpose of explaining that the resolution was not intended to commit the association in any manner whatever, it being intend, that the committee should in every case report to the association, and then await irstructions. At his suggestion the motion of Mr Tanner was specifically amended to that effect, and after the substitute of Mr. Bundy had been voted down, as well as M O'Donoghue’s motion and one to lay the whole matter on the table, the original resolution was adopted. The moment the presiding officer, Mr. Calhoun, so decided, Mr. Bundy jumped to his seat and tendered his resignation as treasurer of the assuciation and also as a member. “I move that both resignations be at once accepted,” exclaimed Mr. Tanner, but on the motion of Mr. C. M. Campbell the asso- ciation refused to accept the resignations, and then the association transacted some routine business. The Routine Samuel G. Redge D. Latimer and Fred elect Business. George E. Tower, Leo ick A. Johnson were 4 to membership, and on the motion of Mr. Bundy, the Commissioners were de- clared to have earned the gratitude of the people in their proposal to set apart parks at lth street and Columbia road and at Whitney and Brightwood avenues. President Ballinger explained the pro- gress made in the proposed extension of the Metropolitan railroad through the se; tion, and also explained that the Commi: sict.ers had notified the association, through him, that they had been perhaps too hasty in granting permits for the erection of tele- phone poles in the suburbs, Capt. Black had informed him that hereafter poles would be restricted to the territory beyond Royal Baking Powder “never fails. Alum pow= |ders do.
