One of the most charming features of the recital was Mr. Henschel's accom- paniments, and in all probability he is the finest pianist in that line that has ever Visited Washington. PROFESSOR CARPENTER.—For the past twenty years Professor Carpenter, the well-known hypnotist, has visited Wash- ington annually, and each year his popu- larity has steadily increased. Last evening he opened a series of entertainments, to be given during the next week or two, at Wil- lard Hall, and long before ke stepped upon the stage every seat in the hall was occu- pied. After making a few opening re- marks, in which the different staxes of hypnotism were explained, as well as the gcod and evil of the art, the professor, having secured about half a dozen volun- tary subjects, started an evening of rare enjoyment. The audience was kept in con- tinual laughter for almost two hours at the amusing situations produced by the hyp- notic suggestions of Professor Carpenter. Many of the experiments are interesting as well as laughable, and a different pro- gram will be presented cach night. THE SOUSA CONCERTS.—Such another pilgrimage as the tour which John Philip Sousa has just inaugurated with his famous band has never been attempted in the his- tory of music. The season will extend over about eighty weeks and will embrace all of the United States and Canada, as well as the greater part of Europe, extending from Vienna to Vancouver, from London, England, to London, Canada, from Buda- pest to San Diego. ‘One of the first citles which Sousa will visit 1s Washington, his birthplace, and Sousa concerts will be giv- en at the Lafayette next Sunday evening and the following ‘Thursday afternoon. The latter will be the first week-day ap: pearance of Sousa in Washington for five years, and this matinee has been arranged in response to numerous requests from the “March King’s” admirers who do not care to attend Sunday night performances. Sousa promises a number of novelties at both these concerts, including his new sketch, “Over the Footlights in New York,”” a melange of the season’s chief musical AMUSEMENTS. HOLDS QUARTERLY MEETING. Work of Chapin Union for Three Months Reviewed. Chapin Union, W. C. T. U., held its quar- terly meeting at 910 F street yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Cohen presided. The vice president, Mrs. Martin, led the devotional exercises, the theme being “Freedom in God’s Cause.” Prayers were offered by Mrs. Cohen and Mrs. Martin. The secretary, Mrs. A. E. Ellis, read the minutes of last meeting. The treasurer's report showed a paid-up membership of 202 persons, and a balance on hand of $38.56 to January 1, 1898. Miss Wells was elected as superintendent of the Wage Earners’ Club. The District quarterly meeting was an- nounced to be held Friday, January 21, at the Fifteenth Street Methodist Church. Mrs. Gettenger was elected delegate-at- large and Mrs. Dowling the alternate to the District meeting. Notice was given of a joint reception by the W. C. T. U. and the Women’s Book- binders’ Association to the federation of clubs at Typographical Hall, G street be- tween 4th and 5th streets, Wednesday, Jan- uary 19, at 7:30 p.m. The following were elected delegates to the District quarterly meeting: Mesdames Whitcomb, Tolman, Weaver, Pratt, Trot- ter, Bridge, Shuffle, Power and Chase.

Prison and jail work, Mrs. Watson, five visits, 15,000 pages of literature and fifty postals distributed. Mrs. Watson also re- ported a great improvement in the care of the sick at the alms house, good nurses be- ing in attendance, clean, neat beds and ao food, under the care of Dr. Hick- ng. Superintendent of literature, Mrs. Scriv- ener, 1,376 pages of literature, fifty-nine union signals, seventeen books of Scripture texts distributed. Mrs. Johnson, Flower Mission; Mrs. Mar- tin, evangelistic work; Mrs. Bovee, Sab- bath observance; Mr: Ruth Thompson, purity department, and Miss Moore, super- intendent of work among firemen, all had reports which were encouraging. Mrs. Brown, city missionary Willow Tree alley, reported the entertainments given the poor children Thanksgiving day and ‘ain at Christmas, and told of the free indergarten where twelve little children are taught by Miss Sallie Moten. The re- ports were all adopted. >— NOT HIS HABIT. Survivors of a Valiant Command in Annual Meeting, Veterans of the famous 2a Army Corps gathered in force at Willard’s Hotel last night in attendance upon the annual meet- ing of the association. Capt. B. J. O'Dris- coll presided, with Capt. W. P. Seville Bec- retary. The election of officers resulted in the choice of the following: President, Col. Marshall I. Ludington, U. 8. A.; vice presi- dent, first division, Gen. St. Clair Mulhol- land; vice president, second division, Dr. Joshua R. Hayes; vice president, third di- vision, Col. William L. Bramhall; secretary, Capt. William P. Seville, re-elected; treas- urer, Maj. Alfred R. Quaiffe, re-elected; historian, Hyland C. Kirk, re-elected; chaplain, Rev. Henry 8. Stevens, re-elect- ed; sergeant-at-arms, James McCrea; ex- ecutive committee, Col. Charles Smart, Col. Charles Lyman, Maj. R. W. Tyler, Corp. John Finn and Capt. Harry F. Smith. A committee of three was appointed to urge on Congress the revival of the rank of Heutenant general in the interest of General Miles, and a committee of five to prepare suitable resolutions on the recent deaths of Rev. Father William Corby of Notre Dame, Ind., former chaplain of the h New York Infantry, and Capt. Joseph H. Carr, late of the 4th Ohio Infantry. Historian Hyland C. Kirk read spirited verses describing Hancock's men at Get- tysburg and their charge at Spottsylvania that recalled recollections of vivid expert- ences to many present. Gen. St. Clair Mul- holland gave characteristic description of mustering in a Grand Army post com- posed exclusively of Catholic priests which he conducted at Notre Dame, Ind., a few weeks ago. All those mustered in had car- ried muskets, except two, who were chap- lains, one of the latter being the late Father Corby, who was the commander of the post. First President Did Not Chew Gum or Smoke Cigarettes. A gentleman who has just returned from a post which he held in a foreign country told a Star reporter an amusing story of something which cccurred several years ego at the National Museum. The gentle- man in question was connected with the museum unofficially. He spent much time there, assisting to arrange the different ex- hibits. In this capacity he had a key which admitted him to most of the cases where the relics, etc., were kept. He knew the curators at the museum, and enjoyed their full confidence. He said: One afternoon after the museum had been closed I was there with two or three of the other gentlemen connected with the plac I do not know just how the thing started, but we jokingly proposed to search the pockets of the clothes of George Washing- ton, which were on exhibition.
