AMUSEMENTS. == “THE FRENCH MAID."=New York's Mvellest and moet captivating entertain- ment of the season, H. B. Rice's latest and dciliest novelty, “The French Maid,” left the Herald Square Theater after a run of 175 nights, and will come for one week only at the New National Theater, ‘The French Maid" has the reputation for fascinating frollc, a brightly told story and catchy muete, which places it well in the lead of all musical comedy successes of the present cay. It is now in its second year in Lon- den. Mr, Rice hag greatly improved upon the English production, having garnished it with his own happy ideas, which are noth- ing if not original, and having gathered in- to the fold more pretty girls than he has ever before selected for one attraction. “The French Mala” is pert and pleasing, and as chic and charming as possible. She is adored by nearly everybody in the cast, from an oriental prince to a walter at the hotel and a gendarme, and the rivalries and jJealousies and complications caused by this ratty and naive little beauty form the cen- ter of all the breezy fun. The Mbretto is by Basil Hood, and the music by Walter Slaughter. The piece is full of capital hu- mor, and delightful music and taking songs ard lively choruses, while the ballet de- partment fs certainly not forgotten, for Mr. Rice presents some brilliant new dances which have the real Parisian dash and abandon. The chief ballet features are the Bon Bon Ballet, the Frolique Francaise and the Carnival Promenade Ballet. In these the great Australian dancer, Saharet, who has been making such a sensation in New York, will appear in ker marvelous acrobatic dances. Mr. Rice has cast the ccmpany with his usual excellent judg- ment. Dainty end dashing Olive Redpath will be seen as Suzette, the French maid, and Miss Lucilie Flaven, a beautiful girl, will be seen here for the first time. Among favorites with audiences will be seen hand- scme Yolande Wallace, Eva Davenport, Charles A. Bigelow, Hatizn Mostyn Reniy Norman, George Honey and the popular baritore, Will Armstrong. HENRY E. DIXEY.—Monday night Henry E. Dixey will open a week's engagem2nt at the Lafayette Square Theater in vis new scenic production of magic and comec Dixey is well known in Washington comedian of more than ordinary ability, and in his new p2rformance his talents of this nature are said to have a wide field in which to disport themselves. The press of New York and Chicago, where he has already appeared this season, hav» been unanimous in their praise of his production and state that he has at last found his true vecation. His versatility is unquestionably great, and in a performance including both magic and comedy his various talenis are all called into play. The most prominent of his illusions are the Miracles of Chunder Hula and the Mystery of Mesrour, two beautiful oriental deceptions, and the illu- sion Leonii. In addition to the magical and illusive features of his p2rformance, he presents a sketch in which he portrays several of the characters that made his burlesque, “Adonis,” so popular. The sale of ssats for his engagem2nt opens td- morrew. A SOUTHERN ROMANCE.—Mr. B. B. Vallentine, who dramatized Dolly Higbee’: famous novei, “In God's Country,” or “A Southern Romance,” is the author of the “Fitznoodle Pap and other comic sketches. The sc>ne of “A Southern Ro- mance” is laid in cone of our southern states. The piece is unusual in its motive and situation, abounding in thrilling inci- dents and well supplied with humorous re- lief. The scenic 2ffects are uncommonly fine. The piece itself caused quite a com- motion in theatricals Fifth Avenue Theater, ork, at the opening of this season, and was pronounced by press and public an emphatic success. In fact, it was quoted by the New York World to be “the first genuine ar hit of the szason.” It will be scen here for the first time at the Academy of Music next week with a very strong company headed r. A. S. Lipman and Miss Isabelle Evesson, “FOR ATR VIRGINIA."—Mr. and Mrs. Russ Why will be the attraction at the Celumbia next week in Mr. Whytal's ro- mantic drama of war-times in the old do- minion, itled “For Fair Virginia,” which they won so much favor in this two seasons a: r Virgin s one of the most ul of modern American pla: now in its fourth season.

There is an abundanc> of novel and spon- taneous comedy, and a very important child’s character, beautifully acted by lit- tle Mabel Taliaferro, who heips to make the performances especially pl-asing to ladies and children. “For Fair Virginia” is al- ways a strong matinee attraction, a fifty-cent “bargain matinee” next Thursday will no doubt prove to be one of the largest the new manag>ment of the Columbia has had. Mrs. Whytal, an actress of rare beauty and charm, and whose artistic methods are delightfully true and natural, retains her original character, Virginia, while Mr. Whytal will present the light- ecmedy part, Stzve Dunbar. THEODORE THOMAS’ ORCHESTRA.— The musical event of the season will be the orly appearance in Washington of the Chi- cago Orchestra, Theodore Thomas, con- ductor, on Friday afternoon, at 4: March 4. Mr. Thomas has not been in this city for th last tea years at the head of his own orchestra, and frcm the already many inquiries at the box office it Is shown that he has not lost any of his admirers. The soloist will be Ysaye, the violinist who charmed large audier.ces on his last visit here, and was consid2red by many the greatest violinist of the present time. The program will include Mozart's symphony, G minor; concerto, for violin, E flat, Mo be zart; Becthoven’s overture, olf Rich. Strauss’ tone poem, symphonie Espagnole, for violin and orches- tra, Lalo; Wagner's overture, ‘Tann- haeuser.” HI HENRY’S MINSTRELS.—Hi Henry's mcdern minstrel show will be at the Grand Opera House, beginning Monday, Febru- ary 28, usual matinees. An up-to-date pro- gram of novelties is promised by artists of ability in their lines. * A striking and acceptable feature of this attraction is the careful attention that has been paid to even the minutest detail, everything in and about the make-up of the company be- ing of the most elegant description, care- fully selected and procured by the manage- ment, with the one aim in view of pre- senting a strictly refined, up-to-date, high- grade, first-class citys attraction. ‘All of the local scenery is removed to make room for their special sets, and their first part is said to be without comparison in the minstrel line. They are specially compli- mented by the New York city journals, where they have played the past week, as having fine singers, talented comedianas, accomplished dancers and a varied and extensive olin of high-grad> vaudevilies. Among them are the bright comedians, Arthur Deming, Dan Allmon, Pete Griffin, Jas. Cowper, Tim McMahon, John King, Jas. Carroll, Ed. Locke and others.

The Estelle Randall Joins the Local ’ Fleet. ‘The new steamer, the Estelle Randall, which was built in Baltimore by Wm. E. Woodall & Co. for Capt. H. 8. Randall of this city, has arrived here from Baltimore. The boat left Baltimore Sunday morning, but in consequence of a heavy fog on the bay was forced to put into Annapolis har- bor, where she lay until after 8 o'clock Monday morning. Her actual running time between Washington and Baltimore Was about fifteen hours. The Estelle Randall, while quite a small beat, is one of the prettiest crafts on the river. She is 117 feet in length, 38 feet beam, and is driven by @ fore and aft compound engine, built by the Campbell Zell Company of Baltimore. Her draft, four feet forward and five and one-quarter feet at the stern, will enable her to go into shoal water, and makes ier particularly well adapted for river traffic. On her main deck there is ample freight room, and aft there are a pretty social hall, ladies’ cabins, purser’s office, &e.

To the Fdltor of The Evening Star: In your issue of this date, under the heading, ‘Questions of Responstbility,” Mr. Robert 'T. Lincoln is quoted as saying that “in cese of accident or if the mine was exploded by a Spanish fanatic Spain would not be burdened with any legal re- sponsibility Supposing the Maine was blown up acci- Gentally by a mine, as the evidence so far indicates, how did the accident occur?

Every citizen, especially every property holder, has an interest in abating the con- stant shower of Mack flakes we are now enduring. Every one having any interest here will be injured if ft continues. A clean, healthy city attracts residents and business—with dirt, grime and dark skies the reverse is the case. The Star has strongly adyocated the abatement of this nuisance. Cannot it suggest some means of uniting public opinion energetically in the matter? FELIX.

They Recome the Wards ef Post Which Bears His Name, In a modest cottage at Barnagat Park, one of the summer resorts on the New Jer- Ssy coast, reside The only two living chil- dren of Gen. John A. Rawlins, erstwhile a genera] on the staff and confidential ad- viser of Gen. Grant. James B. Raw only son, had lately been employ: clerk in the sixth aaditor’s office, but being @ confirmed invalid, was unable to keep the Position. Jennie, his only daughter, is mar- ried to Mr. George W. Holman, the son of @ prominent physician of Brooklyn, N. Y. John A, Rawlins Post, No. 1, G. A. R., of this city, has adopted both of th2 children as its wards. The commander of the post, Mr. S. J. Block, accompanied young Kaw- lins to his home and was very much inter- ested in the mementoes shown him by the family, and which are highly prized by them, chief of which is a sash which b2ars upon the reverse side the followin, Pre- sented to Gen. John A. Rawlins, my chief of staff and confidential friend. This sash has been worn by me the entire time from the battle of Shiloh to the fall of Vic burg, U. 8. Grant, general, U. S. army. This legend is in the handwriting of Gen. Grant. There is an oll painting of Gen. Rawlins, which ts a perfect liken2ss, also the gift of Gen. Grant. The army sword of Gen. Rawlins is very much battered from wear in the field, one of the rings having been forged by an army blacksmith to re- plac> one that had been broken. There are, besides, numerous equipments used by the general, during the war. A statement made by the daughter is in- teresting. When Gen. Rawlins was dying h2 stated to Col. Parker that the most valuable thing he could leave to his chil- dren was a chest containing a complete diary of the happenings while he was chief of staff under Gen. Grant. The chest was not found when Gen. Grant b2came guar- dian of the children and had taken charge of Gen. Rawlins’ property. In conversation with Vespasian Warner, representative in Congress from Jllinoi: Mr. Warner related an incid=nt of Gen. Rawlins’ kindness, which may be told in hig own word: I was one of the youngest lieutenants, probably, in the army. The regiment to which I was attached was guarding a bridge, wh! it of ths brigade were sed in battle on the other slde of the river. I disliked the idea of being inactive while a fight was going on, so I crossed to th2 other side and attached myself to the troops that engaged the enemy, when Gen. Rawlins rode up.. He had known me as a boy in Tilinois and recognized me at ones. He called out to me in his usual strong language, ‘What in h— are you doing here, away from your regiment?” I expected to be placed under arrest, instead of which the general procured for me an appoint- ment on the staff. This >nabled me to sce all the active fighting I desired.” It is the hope and wish of John A. Ra lins Post, G. A. R., to see the bod the general rsmoved from the Congressional cemetery and reinterred at Arlington,where his comrades in arms lie, and a Dill will soon be introduced, granting a small appro- priation for that purpose. — Juvenile Temple Entertainment.

The Buflding Trades Council, at its meet- ing last evening, declined to admit to mem- bership either the Journeymen Plasterers’ Operative Unton, No. 6842, or Journeymen Plasterers’ International Local Union, No. 96, until they shall amalgamate into one union, establish a wage rate and adopt a constitution, and they will be so informed. Delegates from both organizations namec presented credentials and asked for admis- sion to the Building Trades Council. This led to considerable discussion relative to the status of the two bodies of plasterers. It was generally admitted that the union known as N 2 was not legally consti- tuted, while on the other hand {t was claimed that the admission of No. 96 would involve the council in the factional trou- bles which exist among the plasterers. Resolutions were adopted reciting that “The destruction of the United States bat- theship Maine and the loss of a large num- ber of American sailors in Havana harbor is a calamity which has touched the hearts of the people and keenly awakened national sympathy; the Building Trades Counct) therefore hereby expresses its sympathy for the workingmen allied therewith and for the relatives and dependents of those who died.” The resolutions also assert the belief of the members of the council that the final result of a thorough investigation into the cause of the disaster will be that the honor and dignity of our country will be main tained, and that those responsible for the loss of the Maine, and so many of those on board, will be held to a rigid accountability. The council} indorsed House bill No. 7870, otherwise known as the bill for the incor- poration of the “Automatic Telephone Ex- change Company,” and the secretary was directed to so inform the committee having the bill in charge. The delegates were requested to discour- age the use of machine-made bread, and were asked to bring the ter to the at- tention of their respective unions. The delegate from the Granite Cutters reported that the granite used in the con- struction of the new Jewish Synagogue 1s not being cut by local union labor, and a committee was appointed to bring the mat- ter to the attention of the building com- mittee which has the supervision of the ways and means committee was di- rected to arrange for an entertainment for the purpose of procuring funds for the ex- penses of the council eg Men's Club Holds Specfal Meeting.
