AMUSEMENTS, SOUSA’S BAND.—Sousa’s concert at the Lafayette Square Opera House last night drew to that playhouse an audience that completely filled it from the front row of the orchestra to the last row of the lery, and including ine standing room even in the dress circle. It was an audience that pessessed all the attributes of a successful gathering of-that character, for in addi- tion to its size it was extremely warm and demonstrative; but then, Sousa was the! attraction, and who could withstand the stirring strains of his most admirable or- ganization of musicians. ‘The band was down for seven numbers, with a number for each of the two soloists; but before the evening was over exactly twenty-four num- | bers had been played, and even taen the audience seemed loath to leave. As usual, Sousa selected a program that could not but please every taste. The Berlioz over- ture, “Carneval Romain,” the “Ride of the Valkyries,” and Liszt's “Second Hungarian Rhapsody,” all of them played in a way to silence the most captious critic, pleased the ultra-classic, while for those of lighter tastes were play assen's ballet suite, “Love Above Ma, Glover's “Feast of the Lanterns,” a charming conceit; ‘tack- ahoft’s “Cossack Dance,” Macbeth's “Love and Sousa's “Stars and Stripes is “Over the Footlights in New } ng conglomeration of catchy from current successes of the season 5 in Idieness in New York city, the potpourri ending with ‘To these forced to puve of his the “Manhattan Beach” march. regular numbers Sousa eleven encores and played marches. and his “Bri seven, he Stars and Stripes Fi Slect,”” the latter h one he was forced to play agi marches, as encores he or three cha with the warmest sort of « s new march, “The Bride- destined to become fully as popular as his other stirring compositions in that line.

The evening were satisfactory. Miss Maud e Davies, the soprano, sang Donizetti's ai Chamounix” and for an encore gave a French laughing song. While not pe sing a big voice, Miss Davies has a soprano of unusual purity and clearness of tone, under good control, and gave evi- dences of a large amount of cultivation. Miss Jennie Hoyle, the violiniste, seems to be at first sight a “find” for Sousa. She played Saint-Saens’ “Rondo Capriccioso,” and for the core that was demanded in a highly imperative manner Musin’s ‘‘Mazur- ka.” Miss Hoyle draws from her instru- ment a tone that is at once strong, full of sympathy and infinitely sweet, and pos- sesses a technique that will place her high above her present position in the years to come. Her playing showed a brilliancy and finish th were really remarkable, while in the tender passages the spirit of the true musician was plainly manifest. The last Sousa concert of the season will be given at the Lafayette Square Opera House Thursday afternoon hext, at 2 o'clock. An entire change of program will be made. UNITED SINGERS’ CONCERT.—The con- cert given at the Columbia Theater last night by the United Singers, a combination of the memters of the Saengerbund and Arion societies, in aid of the German Orphen Asylum, was a rotable event. The theater was well filled, and every number on the excellent program received the warmest kind of praise, necessitating en- core after encore. The concert was given under the direction of the officers of the United Singers, Mr. Frank Claudy, presi- dent; Mr. William F. Meyers, secretary, and Mr. John Waldman, treasurer, and it is un- derstood that the institution for whose ben- efit the concert was given will realize hand- somely from the efforts made. The chorus, made up of the singers of the two societies, numbered nearly 100 voices and was under the efficient directicn of Mr. Henry Xander, the musical cirector of the Saengerbund. The most notable number of the evening was a number by ‘this chorus with orches- tra of thirty pieces—“‘The Pilgrims’ Chorus” from Wagner's “Tannhavuser’—which was greeted with the heartiest of cofmmenaa- tion. The soloists of the evening were en- tirely in keeping with the general excel- lence of th2 progran:. Mrs. Ernest Lent played Liszt's ‘‘Secord Hungarian Rhap- sody’” and a number of an orchestral suite by Massanet, showing in each one her well- known ability at the piano. Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry sang the aria and recita- tive from “Traviata” and Mosckowsky’s “Slumber Sorg,” each with good effect. Mr. Frederick H. Weber, tenor, of Balti- won the favor of his audience with or of sweetness and rather remarkable range. and was heard to advantage in an aria from “Boccacio,” as well as an encore. The promoters received the congratulations of their friends on the success of the ef- fort to have cne central German singing society that should be enabled to appear to the advantage that characterized the appearance last night. BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.— Much interest attaches to the third concert of the Boston Symphony season, to be given at the Lafayette Square Opera House to- morrow afternoon, both on account of the splendid program which has been prepared by Mr. Emil Paur and the well-known ability of this organization to carry out any program that might be selected for it, end because of the reputation of the soloist who has been engaged for that concert— Miss Lillian Blauvelt. The Boston Sym- phony {s a term synonymous with musical excellence, and one who listens to a sym- phony concert rests absolutely assured of the fact that he is getting the finest of music on the highest plane of musical ex- cellencs, so fur as technique and orches- tration are concerned, while Mr. Emil Paur’s name 2 guaranty to eak for the correctne: the interpretation of the various cla as they are playedhere from time to time by this admirable organization. The or- chestra tomcrrow will have three numbers, as follows: ‘The Sold Bride,” overture by Smetana magnificent Sym- Beethoven's phony No. 7, in A major, in which there are four mov two of which are again subdivid The Emperor's March,”" yee i Blauvelt. will sing the ari: ”’ from Mo- zart’s “The } ro.” and the recitative aud affi, “i Cheat My Love,” from “Mirella,” Gouned's opera. 1HE FIRST #iSCHOFF CONCERT.— The hteenth season of the Bischoff course will be oyened ,tomorrow evening, when the first concert ‘of the year will be given at the Congregational Church. A program full of entertaining features has been arranged, and it fs expected that the opening of the spason will be a most aus- picious one, Dr., Bischoff will, as usual, contribute a couple: of organ solos. The other features wit he Mrs, Hattie-Meads- Smith;-soprano; Mrs, Annie Louise Powell, contralto; Douglass,.G. Miller, tenor: J. Walter Humphrey, bags, and ‘Miss Eaith Pearly Dickerson, who will give several recitations. ‘The Bischoff’ course ts well known as suppytng concerts that. please all tastes throughout the season, and its unvarying su stands as a marker of Its ‘excellence. AN ORGAN RECI cital will be given at the New York Ave- erian Church Friday afternoon at 4:15 o'clock by Mr. John Porter Law- rence, the well-known pianist and organist of that church. The program will com- ato and fugue in D minor, “Spring ” Bocherini’s .” Guilmant’s rehe Nuptial,” a Chopin polonaise and a nocturne by the same composer, a Rossini overture, a pas- torale by Lemaigre and Saint’ Saens’ “Rouet d'Omphate.” Mr. Lawrence _ will be assisted by Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir- Cliff, soprano; Miss Bertha Lucas, vio- linist, and Mrs. Margaret Nolan-Martin, contralto. WILLARD HALL. . -rofessor Carpenter, the well-known hypnotist, will continue his entertainments in mesmerism during the coming week at Willard Hall. A large audience greeted him each evening last week, and, as is invariably the case, a sood many responded to the profssor’s ll for voluntary subjects. Last week Professor Carpenter made several ex ments that proved instructive as well as entertaining. Especially was this so in the case of two young men who sang a selec- tion from “Il Trovatore,” under the impres- sion that they were Madame Patti and Sis- nor Campanari. Probably the most amus- ing scenes presented were those of on board a ship in mid-ocean and one in which the subjects were led to believe that thousands of mice were running around the stage. 1t is evident that a large number whg wit- ness these exhibitions of the power of mes- merism once usually go again, judging from the fact that the same persons have been present several evenings. ae GRAND ANNUAL REUNION. Confederate terans’ Association Promises an Interesting Program, The Confederate Veterans’ Association of Washington has issued invitations to its grand annual reunion to be held at Con- federate Veterans’ Hall, corner of 11th and E streets northwest. The 19th of Jan- uary is the anniversary of the birthday of Robert E. Lee, and it is the custom of nearly all the confederate associations throughout the south to celebrate the day by a pleasant gathering of their old com- rades. That meeting which is to be held Wednesday evening in this city, the vet- erans say, is expected to be a more numer- ously attended, and in most respects a more enjoyable, -oceasion than has been had for a numbet ef. ydars. It is not generajly kn@wn that the Wash- ington association claims to be not only among the largest, buf to number among its members ne pub ageacet confederates than any of the W associations through- out the United tes. A very large pro- portion, probably-a_ third, of its members are said to have-served as commissioned officers during co) generals and qui commanders, of prj many have held, or” tions under the YU holding, high posi- t nited States government. The President's Qabingt, the judiciary, the Senate and Housé \ef ‘Representatives have all contributed ti 1 its roster. It is claimed that no other non-political organization in the try can furnish a more notable examplé of pure’ American democracy, In {t8 secial sense, ‘than this Washington assoptatign ‘of corifederates. Rank and soclalppsijon count for less with these grizzfed, old veterans than a man’s record during the. war. One will Meet here: with, mini who fought under Lee, the two Johnstons, Beauregard, Pop” Price, Kirby Smith or some other noted officer; men who served in every southert. army from Virginia to Florida, from the Carolinas to :Texas; men who fought on every battlefield from Bull Run to Appomattox.” ,.Confederate Veterans’ Hall is, on-a smalt scale, a museum of war relics. Here will béifound the o: nal farewell address of -Ganeral -Lee to his army on the day of his surrender to Grant. ‘The entire document is ‘in .General Lee's own handwriting. Here, too, will be found the original parole signed.by Lee and his staff officers at Appomattox. The association has'as its principal ‘ob- ject the afd of indigent late confederate soldiers and their familids, and many of them have found relief from its treasury. The lady-friends,of the organization will donate flowers with which to.decorate the banquet table Wednesday evening. LEEEEEEEEEEEEE PEED EE EEE EERE EEE EERE EEE EEE EEE EERE EEE Falls on a Marble Siab and ie Discharged. With a vistol-bultet- wound in ‘her left -breast:near the heart, .Mrs. Lucille Binck- burn Lane, wife of Mr. Thomas F. Lane. of the. Maxim. Ordnance Company, and youngest: crugAter cf ex-Senator Joseph C. 8. Blackburn of Kentucky, ts lying in a serious condition at the Hotel Wellington, 15th street near H. Tae injury was re- ceived at-2 tate hour Saturday night by the accidental discharge of a small revolver, a present from Mrs. Lane's father. The weapon wes kept in a drawer of a dress- ing case in the bed room of the suite oc- enpied by Mr. and Mrs. Lane, their infant @aughier end her nurse, on the third flocr of the Wellington. Mrs. Lane had retired to this room from the adjoining parlor a few minutes. before midnight, leaving her husband reading 2 paper. She went to the dressing case and opened the drawer where the pistol was kept, and in taking out some lace, the latter caught in the trigger of the weapon. She did not notice it until she removed the lace from the drawer. The weight of the revolver caus- ed it to full upon the marble top of the dresser, and it was discharged. Mr. Lane, who was reading in the parior, rushed into the room at the sound of the revort and found his wife on the floor, weakly attempting to rise. She exclaimed that she ied snot herself. Drs. Ford Thompson and Z. T. Sowers were immediateiy summoned, and ex-Senater Blackburn, who is. stop- ping nearby, was quickly notified and went at once to his daughter's side. The Physicians upon examining the wound de- cided that no vital part had been touched and that probing for the bullet would be unnecessary at that time on account of the shock from which Mrs. Lane was suffering. She was in a very precarious condition yesterday, and. consultation was held last night by Drs. Thompson and Sowers ani Dr. James FE. Kerr, at which it was decided that an operation would not be necessary. At the hotel this morning it was reported that Mrs. Lane had pas:sed a quict night and was much improved, and it was said she would probably be well in a few days. Mrs. J. C. 8. Blackburn, the mother of Mr: Lane, and Miss Terese Blackburn, her si: ter, and after whom her infant is namea, arrived this morning from Kentucky, and Mrs. Hall, another sister, living in Fort Worth, Texas, is expected tomorrow. Mrs. Lane, before her marriage, was a great j favorite in Washington society, and. h: retained her popularity since she became a matron. She was an exceedingly pretty girl and matured into a handsome woman. She was married to Mr. Lane two years ago at St. Matthew's Church, and a baby sirl nearly a year old is the result of the marriage. The necessity of keeping the patient per- fectly quiet led yesterday to the roping oft of 15th street in front of the hoiel, LISLE Is DEAD. Stricken With Heart Failure Home of His Father. Logan Carlisle, chief clerk of the Treas- ury Department during the last Cleveland administration, died suddenly yesterday at 4 Washington square, New York city, home of his father, John G.

Slayer of John D. Marshall Willing to Admit Manslaughter. The trial of Frank Johnson, colored, un- der indictment for the murder of John D. Marshall, set for today before Judge Brad- ley in Criminal Covrt No. 2, was, on mo- tion of Attorney Fountain’ Peyton, counsel for Johnson, postponed until Monday next. Attorney Peyton explained that he had only recently been assigned to defend the prisoner and had not had time to properly prepare his case. Attorney Peyton added that so far as he could see from a hasty examination, the government could not, under any circum- stances, convict Johnson of a crime more serious than manslaughter. Johnson would consent, Attorney Peyton added, to plead guilty of manslaughter. District Attorney Davis repliel that the proposition, being submitted without warn- ing, could not be answered by him on the spur of the moment. The matter was thereupon postponed, as stated, until Mon- day next. Johnson is accused of the murder of a farmer:named John D. Marshall the 22d of last August. Marshall, on his way to market before daylight on the morning of the date mentioned, drove across the Penn- sylvania avenue bridge. He had just reach- ed the city, when a voice called out from the darkness, “Give me a match” Before Marshall had time to reply, as he declared before he died, there was a flash from a re- volver and a bullet entered his left leg near the knee. He was removed to Providence Hospital by those who had been attracted by the report of the pistol and cries for as- sistance. He died at the hospital the follow- ing day. A post-mortem examination showed that the bullet had passed up through the leg to the abdomen. The fastening of the crime on Johnson followed. He had been arrested as a su! picious character and when searched at the station house a loaded pistol was found in his possession. In the Police Court he was sentenced to jail for carrying conceal- ed weapons. A detective from headquarters who happened to be in court had his sus- picions aroused by the fact that Johnson answe man who Marshall said had shot him, and by the further fact that one chamber of the revolver had been harged. Johnson was taken to Police Headquar- ters and later confessed that he had done the shooting, but ‘the xereral description of the | FHE “WORLD OF ‘SOCIETY ‘An Interesting and Lively Program @ched- led for This Week.
