[PRESBYTERIAN ALLIANCE Patriotic Utterances at the Reception Last Night. Masonic Temple Gayly Decornted for the Affair—The Speakers and ‘What They Said. A reception was given last evening at Ma- sonie Temple under the auspices of the Presbyterian Allianc2, which is an crgani- zation composed of representatives of the various churches cf that denomination in this city, formed for the purpose of further- ing the interests of Presbyterianism in the District. Although tha weather was not favorable for a social cccasion the hall was crowded, the varieus congregations being well represented. On accotnt df what 1s looked upon.as“the tendency of current events, the rec2ption had a large flavor of patriotismi, both in the character of the detorations of the hall and in the addresses. The various detgils of the a nts were in charge of committees, which, as stated by the presi- dent of the aliiance, Mr. B. H. Warner, who presided, were composed of one mem- ber each. Under the direction of a committee, of whicn Mr. Charles B. Pearson-was chair- man, the hali was profusely and prettily decorated with American flags and bunting, while the committee of which Mr. Wm. B. Gurley was chairman provided small silk flags pendant from an eagle, which was at- tached to the lapels of th2 coats of the men and to the gowns of the women. The stage was attractively set with large foliage plants and adorned by flowers by th2 committee of which Mrs. George West- inghous2, jr., was chairman, and the same committee secured Haley’s Band, which rendered patriotic selections throughout the evening. It was the first sccial gAthering held under the direction of the allianc> for several years past, and the evening proved to be such a pleasant one that it is prob- able there will be other similar events in the near future. The Addresses. The program was appropriately intro- duced by singing by the boys frem Willard Hotel of patriotic songs, wnich were en- thusiastically ayplauded. Then Rev. Dr. Sunderlard of the First Presbyterian Church was introduced by President War- ner, and he made an extremely happy speech, which was bright and humorous. He pointed out ihe important work to Pres- byterianism in the District which could be accomplished by such an organization. The next speaker, Rev. Dr. Hamiin of the Church of the Covenant, spoke of the’ in- fluence of the form of government in the Presbyterian Church in fitting its members to be citizens of the republic, and he said that American citizens were proud of their country, because it was free, enlightened and just. While we have sympathy for the oppressed, desolated island off the southern coast, he said, and although we recugnize that the hour may come when the oppressor must be smitten in order that the oppressed may go, we shrink from rais- ing our mailed hand, and patiently await to be certain of God's will. He referred to Capt. Sigsbee, and said that in one of the most awful hours the world had seen he did not forget peace, theugh he {s a man of , but remem- bered to plead to his countrymen for sus- pense of judgment. He said that Presby- terians do not want their country to be blustering and boastful, but calm and firm, and that they were ready to stand by the rulers of the country, with sacrifice of property, and, if need be, life. Dr. Ham- lin’s strong patriotic utterances aroused the greatest enthusiasm. He was followed by Paymaster General Stewart, United States navy, who spoke on the navy, which he said at the outset Is ready to speak for itself. He then, in a se- ries of beautiful word paintings, which was given with fine oratorical effect, de- scribed the batde of Mobile as he wit- nessed it, thirty-four years ago, and in conclusion he said that the navy was ready now as then to do its part. A burst of ap- plagse followed his concluding words, and during his remarks the approval of the audience was frequently manifested. _ “Rev. Dr. Wallace Radcliffe of the New York Avenue Church made a_ stirring speech which carried with him the entire audience. In referring to the current events Dr. Radcliffe sald he was for peace if he had to fight for it, and this phase evoked a storm of applause. He said that stagnation was not peace, and starvation was not peace, and that chains are worse t bayonets. "There ‘comes a time, he added, when for peace blood must flow. He commended the course pursued by the President, and said the patience of the administration has been wonderful. In a humorous vein he added that Mr. McKirley had been mor2 patient than he would have been under the circumstances, which showed, he add- ed, that Mr. McKinley makes a better President than he would have done. He said that the President had waited for That's so with advertising. We can bring but the buying F. people here, them. Jas. butter. * rests with Oyster, 900 Pa. ave.

SS Teel’s Men’s Stock at Auction. ‘The balance of W. S. Teel’s stock of men’s furnishings, 935 Pa. ave., will be sold at auction Saturday, April 2d.—Advt. For a Month. Thomas McCormick, arrested by Police- man Housel, was given a hearing in the Police Court today on a charge of va- grancy. “Tom has been arrested before,” the po- liceman said, “and he will get drunk and beg. He gets out early in the morning, and when I arrested him he had some bread under his arm. He was arrested once for stealing bread.” “I know I was,” sald McCormick, “but I bought this bread.” “Where did you buy it?” “At Mr. Smith's siore. McCormick denied that he had done any- thing to justify his arrest, but the court held otherwise, and sent him down for a month. — Alleged Theft. An attachment for the arrest of Robert Jchnson, colored, was today issued by Prosecutor Mullowny to answer the charge of stealing a mule valued at $100 from ‘Thomas Norval, a canal boatman, a couple of weeks ago. ‘The accused was arrested shortly after the disappearance of the mule and com- mitted to jall, where he remained for sev- eral days. Lawyer Ricks, who was John- son's counsel, then asked Judge Scott to release his client on his personal bonds, ciaiming that it would be shown at the trial that no theft had been committed. The court consented to this, and the de- ferdant promised to be in the Police Court when wanted. This, however, he failed to do, a Mr. Mullowny took the action stated. . ——— as Death of John T.

Friends of the deceased are invited to attend the funeral services. the voice of the people, which is speaking tcday. He believed if war must come it would be as a last resort, and out of the victories of war comes an enduring peace, a peace based on principle. The next speaker, Rev. Dr. Luccock of the Metropelitan Church, spoke on the sub- ject of the laymen, and emphasized their importance in the work of the church. His remarks were enlivened by witty stories. Brief remarks wore made by Rev. Dr. Eeston, pastor of the Eastern Church, and Rev. Dr. Bittinger of the Westminster Church. Upon the conclusion of the pro- gram refreshments were served in one of the adjoining rooms. os ATTEMPTED ROBBERIES. Falls Church Visited by Bold Burg- lars Last Night. Robbers paid another visit to Falls Church last night. They first attempted to enter the store of George McDaniel on ‘Washington street near Broad. The front window bears evidence that they attempted tn enter in that way. Failing in this, they went to the kitchen window, but by this time Mr. McDaniel was aroused, and bear- ing them, raised the window, when they fled, leaving an ax behind them. They then went to the post office at East End and effected an entrance to the rear room, occupied by Mr. ¥. Rorebeck as a printing office, and adjoining the room in which the post office is located. This seemed to be their objective point. Enter- ing the post office, they proceeded to open all the drawers, and failing to find any cash they proceeded to rifle letters in the office and opened about a dozen. Nothing of value was found, however, and after helping themselves to a lot of tobacco and cigars they went over to the store of J. L. Biliott, agent of the Falls Church electric railroad. In endeavoring to effect an en- trance here Mr. EXiott was aroused just as one of the party was entering the room through a window. He opened fire on them with a pistol, shooting twice, when they disappeared in the darkness. This occurred about 2:30 o'clock this morning. The parties were seen by both Mr. Mc- Daniel and Mr. Elliott, but they could not tell whether they were white or colored. One was cither a boy or quite a smali man. No clue has been discovered to their iden- tity. —_ A Drive Into the Country is delightful these spring days. ‘Phone Downey's Model Stables, 1622-28 L, for car- riage.—Advt. ——. —— Bonds Issued.

It is a meritorious AMUSEMENTS, RICHARD MANSFIBLD.—Richard Mans- fleld’s sale of seats and boxes opened yes- terday morning at the Columbia, and ts already phenomenally large. There have been various manifestations of an exten- sive interest In the great actor’s engage- ment. Probably the generous repertoire which Mr. Mansfield has provided has in- spired it; maybe it is the awakening con- sciousness which has swept over the coun- try this winter in 2 sort of Mansfield mania, No other single actor has played in a sin- gle season to the enormous box office re- ceipts of this artist. Though he began the year with a big success in “The Devil's Disciple,” he has not weakened under the burden of extra expense each week in or- der to carry a large company and vast amounts of scenery, just to show that suc- cess does not conquer either his energies or bis ambitions, and moreover to keep conspicuously in the public mind the fact that Richard Mansfield does not depend upen special plays or special parts; that he is not an actor of limitations, but an artist whose versatility ranges through the broad variety of Brummel, Chevrial, Shylock, Dudgeon and Jekyll and Hyde. Mr. Manefield will next week be seen in most of his renowned characters. On Monday evening and at the Saturday mat- inee he will be seen as Beau Brummel in the charming comedy of that name. Tues- day evening will see his great character creation, Baron Chevrial, in “A Parisian Romance.” He will put on his great Shakespearean production, “The Merchant of Venice,” Wednesday evening, appearing in~his remarkable conception of Shylock. His new play, “The Devil's Disciple,” will be given Thursday evening. It ts a stirring play of satirical comedy and rampant American patriotism, though, strangely encugh, it was written by an Englishman. Friday evening he will give “Dr. Jekyli and Mr. Hyde,” a dual role which always packs the house. Th3 special train of six cars Wearing Mr. Mansfield and his organ- ization will arrive Sunday evening. It con- tains Mr. Mansfield’s private car, two ceaches for the company and three cars for scenery, furniture and baggage. Two cars of scenery have already arrived. E. H. SOTHERN.—“The Adventure of Lady Ursula,” Anthony Hope's original ccmedy, will be the opening-piece presented by Mr. E. H. Sothern at the Lafayette next week. The part of George Sylvester as played by Mr. Sothern is very different from what theater-goers have always seen Kim in, and it is said to be a part that sujts bim very well and proves his versa- tility. Miss Virginia Harned, as Lady Ursula Barrington, has created a new cemedy role, in which she has scored a Pronounced and instantaneous success. The beautiful setting, accessories, etc., have re- ceived the greatest praise from both press and public. Every detail is perfect, and “The Adventure of Lady Ursula” will be used py Mr. Sothern for his entire tour. In every way “The Adventure of Lady Ursula” is said to be a gratifying success, and it is good to know that Anthony Hope is as good a dramatist as he is a novelist. It is pleasant to see Mr. Sothern’s gal- lant subordination of himself in order to give Virginia Harned a fair ficld for what is practically her reappearance upon the stage, and it is still more agreeable to krow that Miss Harned is a most valua- ble ally for Mr. Sothern in his artistic en- deavors. The following repertoire will be presented: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday evenings and Saturday tatinee, Anthony Hope's original comedy, “The Adventure of Lady Ursula;” on Sat- urday evening, Belasco and De Mille’s humorous comedy, “Lord Chumley,” and at the Wednesday matinee, by special re- quest, Lytton’s romantic drama, “The Lady of Lyons.” Both “The Adventure of Lady Ursula” and “The Lady of Lyons” are new to the theater goers of our city. “The Lady of Lyons” will be presented with the same elaborate scenery, costumes and effects, that were used in the New York production. The sale of seats and boxes is now in progress. ANDREW MACK.—Andrew Mack, “the singing comedian,” as he is usually styled, is a_player of wide popularity, and that popularity is sure to become stronger when he produces his new play, “An Irish Gen- tleman,” at the New National Theater, next Monday evening, April 4. This piece has been written specially for Mr. Mack by Ramsay Morris, end the author is said not enly to have prepared a capital fit for the star, but at the same time to have kept cut of the beaten track followed by most writers in recent years in preparing Irish dramas. The result is that Mr. Mack will be seen as a young Dublin gentleman, who blends wit, honor, sentiment, pathos and manly qualiiies gf more stirring nature. In other words, Mr. Mack is said-to have a new role which is Seicpiated not only to bring out excellently those entertaining qualities which have already made him popular, but to give him opportunities for ome herote acting which will be a surprise to even those who know him best. That the young comedian will take advantage of ‘ed him is certain. “An Irish Gentleman” Js safe, therefore, to provide an excellent entertainment. “HUMANITY.”—“Humanity” is the com- prehensive title of Sutton Vane’s great play, which is to be presented at the Acad- emy' noxt week. of humanity in it, and of a character that There is considerable readily appeals successfully to the popu- Manager Brady, it is said, has tiful story in the garb most approved by modern dramatic art.

The English in the Trans- interest never contemplated by the The play. will be given with the “THE BRAND OF CAIN.”—‘The Brand play, and it has to its credit a long run early this season in Chicago. It is a ro- mance in four acts. The scenes are laid in the mountainous regions of Spain and the shires of England. Although picturesque to a degree, it combines rowerful situations with realism, culminating in the explosion of the powder house of a stone quarry. Tho motive is furnished by twin brothers, George Leighton. a rascal and a vagabond, known through the play as “John Doe,” and James Leighton, an English gentle- man. George is a fugitive from justice with James Burleigh, and while hiding in Diablo chasm, in the lower part of Spain, kills Jeffrey Gordon and attempts to mur- der Sir William Courtney, who is reclaim- ing a treasure trove from a cave in the mountains. Subsequently Sir William falis in love with James Leighton’s daughter Pbyllis, and calls upon’ her father, whom he has never previously met, for the pur- pose of asking for her hand. Sir William is horrified, for he thinks he sees in him, owing to the close resemblance between the brothers, the man with whom he had the struggle in Spain. The complications that ensue are admirably conceived. THE NORDICA CONCERT.—That great interest in the Nordica concert, to be given at the Lafayette tomorrow afternoon at 4:15, is manifested is evidenced by the tre- mendous advance sale of seats. Hardly a box is left and but few remaining seats.

Their songs and tunes car- ry the youth forward to the happy college days in store for him, and they carry the ‘old back to the days when the world seem- ed biggest and best to them. Those who have heard the college songs sung can un- derstand the feeling which they create in the listener, and to those who have riot, no Geseription can give them justice. The con- cert this year will be a regular old-fashion- ed glee club concert, full of college songs and medleys, which will be rendered with a vigor that is charming. The Easter trip is one continued round of festivities. In every city where a concert is given the clubs are entertained royally.

Mr. Heinrich combines the qualities of both a Vocalist and a splendid piano accompanist, and as he played the accompaniments to all his songs last night the recital was made doubly enjoyable. The program com- prised selections from Schumgnn, Frantz, Brahms, Tschaikowsky, Dvora@& and Schu- bert. Mr. Heinrich sang all of his numbers with that rare expression and skill which has made his reputation, and every selec- tion was accorded the sincere and hearty applause that denotes the appreciation of the true master of his art.

William Murray, living at 495 Maryland avenue, was brought to this city yesterday from Stony Point, where he was engaged in hauling seine, and was taken to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. While working at the fishing shore he met with an accident which resulted in the break- ing of his collar bone and the infliction of severe injuries to his legs and body. Be- cause of the nature of his injuries, he will not be able to leave the hospital for some time. —— An Explosion. Louis Frank, sixty-three years old, who ilves near 22d and B streets northwest, was treated by Dr. Juenemann at the Emergency Hospital yesterday for a num- ber of slight injuries. His explanation of his condition was that he put a number of pieces of insulated wire in the stove to burn off the insulation, and an explosion followed. The pieces of wire blown from the stove caused the injuries. After being treated at the hospital he was able to re- turn home. Children should always increase in weight. Not to grow, not to increase in flesh, belongs to old age. Present and future health demands that this increase in weight should be steady and never failing. To delicate children, Scott’s Emul- sion brings richer blood and firmer flesh. Better color comes to the cheeks and stronger muscles to the limbs. The gain in weight is sub- stantial ; it comes to stay. Soc. and $1.00, all druggists, SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York. CITY ITEMS. ——_>-—— Our Pure Rye Whisky Reduced to 650. qt.

President Richard Lanis occupied the chair and Mr. Charles McGowan was secretary. A letter was read from Mr. Thomas P. Morgan, chairman of the committee on visitors of the National Masonic Fair Association, in- forming the council that all contracts for work to be done in connection with ‘the fair contained a provision for the emplo: nent of strictly union labor. An invi tion from Mr. Morgan to attend the fair, which was received at a previous meeting, was accepted and the delegates requested to recommend the fair to the patronage of the members of their locals. A laundry and steam-heating company was placed on the unfair list for having —— refused to employ union rr. The tile layers’ delegates reported that an attempt ito reduce the wages of the members of that craft fifty cents a day was being made by a prominent firm, and at their request the matter was referred to the grievance committee for immediate ac- tion. Several matters of importance to the trades union men of the city were referred to the contract committee.
