The Washington Branch of the Councli of Jewish Women held its third and lest yublic session of the winter at the Con- cerdia Ciub last night, and a large attend- ance and an inter:sting program marked the last of what have been most instructive and entertaining occasions. After prayer by Rabbi Stern, Mrs. Simon Oppenheimer, presiding,introduced the Rev. Edward M. Calisch of Richmond, who da- livered an eloquent and thoughtful address upon the possibilities of ihe Jews. He dwelt upon the preservation of the Jews through centuries of continuous catastro- phes and said this could not have been due to other than natural causes, for while it was true that the Jews were carrying out @ special mission of God, it was an invio- lablz law of the universe that God worked he miracies evn for his favorites. At the conclusion of the address there were a piano solo by Mr. Fred Geisburg, a recitation by Miss Laura Behren and a seng by Miss Lou Etseman. ——— Woman's League Meeting.

Country Life Transformation Street Waifs in Charge of the Children’s Guardians. of Superintendent of Charities Lewis and the officers of the board of children's guardians made a visit of inspection last week to-th¢ Hart Farm school, near Fort Washington, where the colored boys who are committed by the courts to the care of the guardians are domiciled. The officials were accompa. ried by John Wallace Hutchinson and a party of ladies who went as guests of Prof. Hart to meet the lads and give them a concert. The examination of the buildings recently enlarged and those newly erected for the use of the boys developed gratifying and wholesome cleanliness and neatness, and the youngsters themselves, who had for- merly been pinched and starved waifs of the streets and alleys, had been transform- ed by a few months of country life into stout and sturdy urchins. The officers also visited the garden and stables and barns, and observed the work gcing forward there under the supervision of the boys’ instructors. After the tour of inspection the superin- tendent of charities and the president of the beard of children’s guardians sat down to dinner with the boys, and an ample lunch was spread in the school room for the other guests. When the lunch was finished Mr. Hutchinson and the ladies sang for the boys, and then the boys sang—as only col- ored boys can sing—a number of songs for the company, and the whole party returned to the city on the afternoon boat, well pleased with the trip. The Objects of the Institution. The idea of which this school is the ex- Pression was conceived by Herbert W. Lewis, the superintendent of charities, whom the little colored boys have dubbed “Daddy Lewis.” He found, after the most thorough examination, that none of the sectarian institutions in this city would re- ceive a destitute colored lad of ten years of age, and that the industrial home for boys, ‘supported by government funds, would not admit colored boys, so that only the doors of the jail and work house re- mained open to the little fellows when the officers brought them into court from the streets and alleys, without friends or home or food or raiment. lt was determined to make a beginning of some sort In rescuing these lads who had not entered upon a career of crime from their slum environments and place them in a country home, where they might lead the normal life of country boys and be taught the three R’s, industry, providence, self-help, honestly and independence. The experiment is as yet but little beyond its initial stage, but the manner in which these children have responded to the influences thus far exerted upon them is beyond the fondest hope of those who undertook the work. “+ The officers of the board find it difficult to recognize thetr own wards after a_brief sojourn in their little community at the farm schooi. . The District Commissioners requested Congress to increase the appropriation of the board of guardians, so that the work could go forward without embarrassment for want of means to support it; both of the appropriation committees of Congress had the matter presented to them in all its details, and upon deliberation refused to grant the requests. Public Interest. The committee on charities and correc- tions of the board of trade invited Prof. Hart, who is in charge of the school, to address them on this work, and when he had finished his remarks, tendered him a vote of thanks and sent its secretary down there to see the whole thing. Judge Kimball of the Police Court and Major Moore are both deeply interested in the success of the farm school, for they have to deal personally—for the community —with these little folks, and this work is the only effort made to find a way for them up and out of the depths into a useful and worthy and happy life, such as one would wish for his own children. Over their log cabin school and home the Uttle fellows have run up the American flag as their emblem, and over their door- way is this motto: “Our Flag! It nurtures us as children; we will defend it as men. ——__ COMING CONVENTION. Triennial Conclave of P. E. Church to Be Held Here. A conference for the purpose of making preliminary arrangements for holding the great triennial corvention of the Protes- tant Episcopal Church of the United States, which is to be held in Washington during October, was held yesterday afternoon at the residence of Pishop Satterlee. Rev. Richard P. Williams, rector of Trin- ity parish, was celected as chairman of the general committee of arrangements. Other committees partly organized were the fol- jowing: Kinarnce—Mr. George ‘Truesdell, chairman, and Mr. E. N. Walters, secre- tary; transportation—Mr. J. H. Gordon, chairman; hospitality—Cok Cecil Clay, chairman; press—Mr. Frank W. Hackett, chairman, public comfort—Mr. William D. Baldwin. ” It was decided that the rector of each parish in Washington shall have authority to appoint one member of the finance com- mittee, and that there shall be appointed an executive committee, composed of the ckairmen of the general committee of ar- rangements, and subcommittees, respect- ively, and two clergymen. It is expected that the approaching con- vention will be one of the most important ever held since the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States was organized. Archbishop York and several other foreign church dignitaries are expected to attend. As many of these gentlemen will come a long distance, it is desired that their stay shall be made as pleasant as possible, and that they carry home lasting impressions & the hospitality and attractiveness of the city. z The following named gentlemen were present last night: Bishop Satterlee, Revs. Wm. L. Devries, Jas. W. Clark, Arthur 8. Johns, Richard P. Williams, Alfred Hard- ing, and Messrs. J. H. Gordon, Lewis J. Davis, H. C. Whiting, Gen. Parke,. Frank W. Hackett, Gen. MeKeever, W. D.

AMUSEMENTS, NEW NATIONAL THEATER.—A large- collection of shapely young women twin- kled iridescently behind the footlights of the New National Theater last night. “The Ballet Girl” fs distinguished by having more title roles than any other entertain- ment hitherto arranged for the delectation of an anatomy-admiring public? Front row and back row, coryphee and premiere dan- feuse are kept in mazy activity, with only such intervals of repose as are offered by the interpolation of dialogue. Even the sorgs do not give the ladies upon whose limbs the fate of the show depends much opportunity for rest, and the dialogue, even should it fail to appeal strongly to an au- ditcr’s sense of humor, would be esteemed and encouraged as a humane intervention. ‘The young women meet their responsibility unflinchingly and capably. They are as- sisted by gentlemen who are nimble, tune- ful or comic, as occasion may demand, and their efforts do justice to the scene paint- ers and modistes, whose bewildering crea- tions give the piece its principal reason for being. In only two noteworthy cases have the contributors of words and music con- spired to divert attention from the scenic surroundings. The “Broom” ‘song in the first act is one of the wittiest and most enjoyable specimens of topical rhyming yet evolved from that much cultivated but still fertile field. It was admirably sung by Mr. Edouard Jose and Mr. David Lyth- goe. “The Old Stage Door,” in the second act, gave Miss Arline Crater an opportu- nity to score a succession of encores by melodious allusions to the giddy folk who are supposed to haunt that mystic portal. Some idea ofethe spectacular glory of the performance may be gleaned from the cast as printed on the program. It leads off with the eight gentlemen of the company, among whom Mr. Snitz Edwards, Mr. Thomas Ricketts, Mr. Charles Seagrave and Mr. Fred Solomons should be~ men- tioned as comedians, and then devotes it- self to the feminine contingent, which from Miss Marjorie Relyea to Miss Mazie Fol- lette, inclusive, numbers no less than twenty-seven. This takes no account of those who are modestly recorded at the end of the list as “fishers, villagers, etc.” “The Ballet Girl as performed last night carried out.the evident intention of Manager E. E. Rice to make a strong appeal to the eye the chief quality of the play. He has at- tained some decidedly unique effects in his mammoth and fascinating display of fluff and hosiery. LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. —That sweet, simple New England pastoral play, ‘The Old Homestead,” drew quite a large audience last evening, and, with Mr. Denman Thompson as Joshua Whit- ecmb, the simple, great-hearted old New Hampshire farmer, supported by an ex- cellent company, presented the play in a manner which delighted all. The play is too well known to need an introduction, its wholesome story being told by characters which are now familiar to every one. Yet, its picturing of New England life and ways is as fresh and natural as when first presented several years ago, its pathos tcuching the heart as deeply, while its humor is as. delightful. As Uncie Josh, Mr. Thompson is the hig-hearted, simple New England farmer himself, and Mr. Will M. Cressy, as Cy Prime, is hardly less natural. Mr. Fred Clare as Jack Haz- zard, and Mr. Charles H. Clarke, as Seth Perkins, gave excellent account of them- selves, while Miss Annie Thompson, as Rickety Ann, and Mrs. Louisa Morse, as Aunt Matilda, were entitled to commenda- tion, The singing of the Old Homestead double quartet added much to the pleas- ure of the audience. The scenery was, as usual, a feature of the production. COLUMBIA THEATER —In Paul Kes- ter’s new play, “What Dreams May Com: presented for the first time at the Columbia Theater last night, the author has illustrat- ed anew the tendency of the dramatists of the present day to cater to the deep in- ter2st of this generation displayed in that which pertains te the occult. In and in “Dr. Belgraft” hypnotism ser the theme upon which their stories strung. In “What Dreams May Come” Mr. Kester has utilized the suppos3d power at- tributed to their Mahatmas by the believers in theosophy, and has produced a play Whose strength and intensity relieves it somewhat of its unmistakable somberness. The story related is that of the Countces Dimitri, a Russian noble woman, married to Charles St. Clare, the private secretary of an English prime minister. For the sake of Russia the count2ss has stolen govern- ment papers in the possession of her hus- band, which lea@s to the latter’s ruin and the separation of the coupie. Following the separation a child {ts horn to the countess and consigned to the car> of its father by her relatives. St. Clare believes the boy is the offspring of Count Gregoff, who was the Russian ambassador to London for whom. Countess Dimitr! stole the papers. With this belief th> father attempts to force the boy’s own mother into killing him by exercising the peeuliar mind power she controle through being a Mahatma. She is doing this when she learns that the youth upon whom she is ex>rcising her deadly in- fluence is her own son, and after revealing to St. Clare that he is reaily the boy’s fa- ther she reaches her son and dissipates the 2ffects of her power that are exercising their potent deadliness. Madam Janau- schek assumed the role of the Countess Dimitri last night and added another to her list of histrionic triumphs. Those who remember her Lady Macbeth and Lady Dedlock could not but udmit that in the character last night she displayed all the strength and all the keen finesse and acute perception of the requirements of her part that made har rendition of the former characters so notable. It is no reflection upon Madame Janauschek’'s presentation to state that John Blair as Royer Hazleton, the son and victim, shared the honors of the evening with her. H2 proved himself an admirable actor in a difficult character, which if given to a less capable one would have lost much of its strength and impress- iveness. He was forceful throughout. Jo- geph Whiting as Count Gregoff, Joan Hol- land as .G2rald O’Blake and Frank Lyman as Lord Dalry are to be commended jor their impersonations, while Maud Banks as Mary O'Blake, in love with Roger, gave a delightful picture of the devoied and un- questioning woman. Margaret DeWolf play2d interestingly the part of Kathleen O’Blake, and Mabel Washburn had a good conception of the comedy possibilities of Malissa, the maid of all work. The play it- self has many shortcomings in the dialogue which will probably be remedied by the au- thor. There is no denying that th2 first two acts are rather tiresome in the long involved speeches, both to the actors and the audience, but the last two acts c'osely epproach the powarful. This is particularly true of the third act, when the Countess Dimitri learns that her slowly dying vic- tim is her own son, and then reveals to St. Clare the fact that he is Roger’s father. In the last act, wher2 Roger is uwatting the stroke of 12 o'clock, which he is sure will mark the moment of his death, John Blair gave a remarkable illustration of his power. The scene where the Countass Dim- itri told Roger that she was his mother was touching in the extreme, and the ef- fect upon the audienc> was plainly notice- able, many persons giving way to the emo- tions that were aroused. “What Dreams May Come,” will continue during the week, with matinees Thursday and Saturday. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—Paul Potter's “Pacific Mail,” rechristened “Fun Aboard the Pacific Mail,” was presented at the Academy of Music last night by a capable company, and before an audience of large proportions. What plot there is in the Piece deals with the trials of a married man who runs away from his wife on ac- count of her ungovernable temper; they both take passage on the Pacific mail steamer City of Peking under assumed names, the husband to hide his identity and the wife to enjoy a little flirtation as a single woman. A detective follows the husband on a wrong clue and three men fall in love with the grass widow. Through these complications the fun is furnished. The first act could he brightened up a Uttle without harm, as there is too much talk and not enough action, but the sec- ond and third ects are given with a dash and are brightened by specialties that drive away remembrance of the first part of the. performance and results in an all around enjoyable entertainment. R. E. Graham, the same old “Bob,” has the character of the runaway husband and his work is on the finished comedy line with which every- body is familiar and serves to carry the psy, to a successful conclusion. Miss ion Abbott played the grass widow with true instinct, not too boisterous, forcible envugh io secue: toneainn GO TO YOUR DOCTOR for ad- vice; he is the best man to Get the 7 what meticines "yuo need, to your druggist | for Best, medicines; be knows more about § drogs than a dry goods man. _ BE to doctor and to your port ao fo souk Davdant 70m Snr aul conditions of the eo relgber pgs and spontaneous ‘The remainder introduced her spitcialfy during the second act.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.—An old favor- ite that seems to®gro# ripe with old age, the “Eight Bells” of the Brothers Byrne, appeered at the Grarfi Opera House iast night and attracted a large audience to that ccmfortable playhouse. “Eight Bells” has been on the road a long time, but it seems rather to improve and gain flavor than grow stale with age, and renewed acquaintance lends additional charm to the really. clever preduction. As a pantomime, when it ad- heres strictly to that part of stage business, it may be said to excel anything in the ring today. The Brothers Byrne are an ex- ceptionally ciever lot of acrobats, and this year they have asscciated with them three others, the Walton Brothers, that go to make up one of the best acrobatic troupes that this city has seen. There are also some other clever people in the cast, and the specialties presented were of a high order of excellenc: Among these may be mentionel the all-round enterfaining turn of Griffin ard McEnvoy and the brilliant act of the Sisters Coulson. Their work in serpentine dancing and juggling while bal- ancing on ‘large spheres was fine, while their dancing was of a high order. The cast embraced, besides the Byrne and Wal- ton brothers, Archie Royer, J. Ed. Donnel- ly, William and Frank La Fose, Henry Kammerer, Harry Vane, William Dale, Fred Hayres, M. Monahan, Rose Royer and Maude Cleveland, the work of Archie Royer being clever throughout. The stage effects are of course a distinct part of the “Eight Bells,” and among these the horse and car- riage scene and the revolving ship deserve $recial mention. Another feature that gained immediate favor was the pose of the acrobats as statues in the third act and the funny ertics they cut with unsuspect- ing persons who happened to come too close te them. While “Eight Bells’ “is nothing more than a huge carry-all to show off the abilities of the company in one way or an- other, and at no time rises above a panto- mimic farce, it serves to draw laugh after laugh and furnishes an exceptional amount of entertainment. “Eight Bells” will con- tinue throughout the week at the Grand, with the usual matinees. KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—No man of modern times has endeared himself mcre to the followers of “the manly art” than John L. Sullivan, “the Boston boy,” or “the big ’un,” as his devotecs leve to call him. “And so when John L's name is mentioned it is the signal for applause. This season he has allied himself with a big vaudeville company and this week is show- ing at Kernan’s. At both performances yesterday the house was packed, and when the pride of “Fistiana” made his appear- ance it was the signal for a big ovation. It is the memcry of what he has done that remains green in the memory of his friends. His record as champion for twelve years remains unmatched, and his big loyal heart won the friends his bravery overlooked. He appeared twice. In a musical farce “A Trip Across the Ocean” he takes the part of the etptain, and does it well. But the boys did rot want to pass upon his histrionic abil- ities, and generously overlooked whatever faults he displayed:! They were a trifle anx- ious when they réad daier on in the pro- gram that he wotld give a realistic illus- tration of his training metho's. But he did nothing worserthan box three rounds with Ed White, and showed, even in the face of his incredsed weight, his old-time agility. The olio was-marked for its ex- celience. The Bréwnihgs were entertain- ing, the Petching# Brothers gave an eccen- tric musical specialty, and the Great Dar- mody gave a wonderful exhibition of Indian club jugglery. Detty and Murray made a genuine hit with their coon specialty, and Regley and Lee were acceptable in an or- iginal sketch. Mfss Emma Carus sang a number of songs in her rich ‘baritone voice and offered a new*song, “‘Avenge the Good Ship Maine,” which iwas received with cheers. The Goldéns were very entertain- ing and the bag puncBing of Rolla White remarkable. HOPMANN RECITAL “POSTPONED.— The announcement that the Hofmann re- cital is postponed until next week will doubtless disappoint many. A _long-dis- tance telephone message from Mr. Wolf- sohn, Hofmenn’s New York manager, re ceived late last evening, stated that young Hofmann met with an accident while bik- ing on th> speedway in rooklyn, and that a sprain of the foot that at first was thought of no consequence proved, upon examination, to be serious enough to pre- clude the possibility of the young man playing again before Saturday. The recital her2 was, therefore, postponed until next week, the date to be announced in a day or so. The greatest interest has been shown in this appearance of Hofmann, ‘the house being almost entirely sold out, and an cva- tion awaits his coming. Tickets se-ured for today will be good for the postponed date. WILLARD HALL.—The Lumiere’s_ cine- matographe is a drawing cardsat Willard Hall.

The Academy of Music, where it was presented, was decked out in gala at- tire In honor of the first presentation of the opera in the monumental city, while Baltimore scciety turned out in force and made the event a most notable one in that respect. The criticisms on the opera were of the most favorable kind, in regard to the music, to the book and elso to the elabor- ate way in which the production was staged and costumed. The famous march and chorus that ends the second act, “Unchain the Dogs of War,” was received with the highest enthusiasm, the audience rising to its feet and waving anything that could be gained in order to show their appreciation of the inspiring music. The production ex- celled in every way anything of the kind that has ever been presented in Baltimore. ——_—_-_ . VIEWS OF ST. ELIZABETH’S. Stereopticon Affords Amusement to a Large Audience. A stereopticon exhibition of ‘home views was given last evening in the large hall of St. Elizabeth's. The views represented ex- clusively some personage connect2d with the hospital work or some of the many attractive scenes elther in the buildings or about the grounds of the institution. As each picture was presented Dr. A. H. Wit- mer, the assistant superintendent, delivered interesting remarks upon it. He was as- sisted by Mr. Alvan Wodding, son of the superintendant of St. Elizabeth, who had personally secured the views.
