Executive Committee Arranges for Shad Bake in May. A mesting of the executive committee of the board of trade was held yesterday afternoon at the room 1410 G street north- west. Mr. T. W. Noyes, the president of the board, presided. Arrangements were considered for the aunual shad bake at Marshall Hall, whch will be held during the first week in May. As in previous years, this affair will be one of the nota- ble events in the year’s record of the board, and, as heretofore, a large number of the members of Congress will be gues! The need of a new morgue was discu: ed, and the subject was referred to the committee on public health, which was instructed to give the matter immediate attention and to make recommendauons. It was decided that a thousand copies of the speech delivered by President Noyes some three weeks ago on District t tion before the ‘subcomanttee vf the Tis. trict committee of Congress she be printed in pamphiet form and distributed to those who are interested in the subject. Authority was given a special committee to prepare a handbook for distribution throughout the country, which will set forth the advanteges of Washington as a residence city. The book will be prepared during the next few months. n invitation will be extended to National Association of Stage E hold its annual convention in V in 18. The association will convene Omaha this summer, and the local mem- bers are very anxious that the organization should meet in this city next year. Mr. Walter F. Rogers was elected a mem- ber of the board, and Dr. 1. S. Stone was appointed a member of the committee on public health. the ployes to >— PROFESSIONAL EARNINGS. Decision That They Cannot Be Placed im Receiver's Hands. Judge Hegner in Equity Court No. 2 to- day made a ruling of considerable inter- est, deciding that the professional earn- ings of an individual cannot be placed in the hands of a receiver pending a suit in equity to recover from the same the amount of a judgment at law. The ruling de in’ connection with the ca: ‘Taylor, intervener, in the Clarence Mz Busch mes Tanner. Judge Hagner ion declined to appoint a re- in his de ceiver, as asked. Notice was given of an appeal to the Court of Appeals. an amended bill of complaint filed h ‘nstant, asking the court to appoint r to take charge of Mr. Tanner's s, the complainant explained that Oc- tober 29, 1805, he recovered a judgment against Tanner on the law side of the court for $280, with interest and costs. The judgment, it was added, is unreversed, is in full fore nd effect and has not been paid or satistied in any part or manner. Continuing, the complainant declared that Mr. Tianer is an attorney at law and prac- tices in the courts of the District, the Court of Claims and particularly before the several departments of the government, re- ceiving therefrom a considerable sum yearly. The complainant added that Mr. Tanner lives in great style and splendor in this District. occupying as a home premises reasonably worth $30,000. The complain- ant went on to declare that Mr. Tanner is possessed of a large income, and is suf- ficiently able to pay the judgment referred to were he so disposed, but, he said, Mr. Tanner is insolvent so far as execution is concerned and has ne property subject at law to execution or which can be reach- ed by any known legal process. The complainant in his bill next stated that as an attorney before the courts and departments Tanner has large sums of due him. He is rapldly reducing sion and collecting the money, it sed, and is disposing of and wast- ing the same to the great damage of the complainant. The latter therefore took the nd that unless the court appointed a receiver to take possession of and hold the money until the cause could be decid- ed there was great danger that he would lose all the benefit from the suit. In demurring to the bill Mr. Tanner, among other things, declared that the court was without jurisdiction in the premises set forth. The demurrer was sustained by Judge Hagner. = ————— Art and Flowers. Gude has never failed to please in his floral design work. 1224 F.—Advt. —— ee Wants Damages. A libel has been filed by George H.

HELP GIVEN BY THE RAILROADS Largest Attendance Recorded at the Fair and Exposition. MILITARY TO CAPTURE IT ‘The donations to the temple fund continue to gladden the hearts and hopes of the Washington Masons, who are so earnest in their efforts to make the project for a na- tional Masonic temple successful. Vice President Garret A. Hobart yesterday sent President Small of the board of control his check for $100 inclosed in a note express- ing many good wishes. In addition to this enough railroad tickets were donated to keep a person traveling the rest of the year. Through S. B. Hege, the Baltimore and Ohio donated a round-trip to San Francisco and return. The Southern sent two round-trips to Asheville, N. C. The Union Pacific, in conjunction with the Chi- cago Northwestern and the Southern Pa- cific, gave a round-trip to the Pacific coast. From the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy came a ticket from Chicago to St. Paul and return. The Missouri Pacific donated a trip from St. Louis to Hot Springs, Ark., and Dallas, Tex., and return, and H. W. Fuller, for the Chesapeake and Ohio, sent two tickets to Cincinnati and a round-trip to St. Louis. A round-trip ticket from Bal- timore to Providence was recetved from the Merchants and Miners’ Transportation Com- pany. The Bay Line sent a ticket for a round trip from Baltimore to Norfolk, and the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company two round trips from this city to Norfolk. Ail these will be disposed of by voting and will add very substantially to ‘Treasurer Sam. Walker's already well-dis- tended coffers. Largest Attendance Last Night. The second week of <he fair and exposi- tion was ushered in last night with the biggest attendance yet recorded. It was a generous assemblage, too, as shown by its responses to the vacied demands made upon it. The guests of the evening were the Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Knights of the Golden Eagle, who came in full force, under charge of their respective officers and accompanied by a large number of ladizs. Under the escort of the Mount Pleasant Field Band, the*vis- itors arrived shortly after 8 o'clock, and, after u aking the circuit of the hall, were reviewed by the grand officers, who were Srouped on the platforn above the en- trance, and were as follows: Grand master, John I. Brown; deputy grand master, W: W. Millan; grand warden, John B. Ward: grand representatives, W. P. Allan and George W. Uline; grand patriarch, H. C. Hazard; grand ‘guard, L. H. McDade; grand secretary, William R. Hunt; grand marshal, J. H. Crew, and grand chaplain, J. Z. Yoder. _ Knights of Pythias—Grand chancellor John C. Yost; grand vice chancellor, J. A. Frank; past grand chancellor, R. D. Crv- per; grand prelete, Frank Hosford; chan- cellor of Superior Lodge, Frank Thomas, and vice chancellor cf Superior Lodge, Harry Standiford. Bodies in Attendance. The lodges of Odd Fellows in attendance were Central, No. 1; Washington, No. 6; Eastern, No. 7; Harmony, No. 9; Columbia, No. 10; Union, No. 11; Friendship, No. 12; Cevenant, No. 13; Beacon, No. 15; Metrop- olis, No. 16; Excelsior, No. 1 Mechanics, No. 18; Fegeral City, No. 19; Golden Rule, No. 21; Mt. Pleasant, No. 22; Salem, No. 23; Takoma, No. 24; Langdon, No. 25, and Rebekah Lodges, Naomi, Ruth and Martha Washington, and the Knights of Pythias lodges were Columbia, Franklin, Mount Vernon, Webster, Rathbone, Syracusian, Calanthe, Hermione, Equal, Harmony, De- catur, Union, Capital, Superior, Amaranth, Germania and Excelsior. Haley's Washington Concert Band was in attendance, and leader and men received a reusing ovation. Attired in bright scarlet ccats, the band made an effective picture in the gallery, and its numbers were very much enjoyed. The entertainment com- mittee presented the usual attractive pro- gram, including expert bicycle riding by mvue! Howard and Ray Cog: the pupils of Professor C; Shreve and Morsell in a revolving la@er act. Military Night. The military organizations will visit the fair tonight, and owing to the intense pa- triotic sentiment that inspires all breasts, the evening will doubtless be character- ized by much enthusiasm. The Alexandria Light Infantry will come up from the city down the river and be met at 13% street and Pennsylvania avenue by the Washing- ton Light Infantry and headed by the Mount Pleasant Field Band will march to New Yerk avenue and 13th street, where the High School Cadets will fall in. The National Rifles will march behind Haley's Band from their armory, end the National Fencibles and Morton Cadets will assemble at 7th street and the avenue and be escort- ed to the fair by the Nattoral Guard Band. Fair Notes of Interest. Owing to the practice indulged in ‘ast week by many holders of season tickets, who, after gaining admission themselves, sent their tickets cut to bring in others, a plan to check this custom was suggested by Secretary Hcward Perry and adopted by the board of control Saturday and put in operation last night. All season tickets yresented are now punched by the door- keepers, and cannot be used again the same night after having been thus marked Persons desiring to go out and return are given return checks. The heavy increase in the admission receipts last night is partly attributed to this wise move on the part of the management. Quiet but effective campaigning is in frogress in the voting contests, and the friends of the various candidates are work- ing with ceaseless energy in their behalf. The records chalked on the boards in the annex corridor show very few changes, but the books in circulation will make very substantial and surprising additions when their totals are added next Saturday night. The following 1s the program at the Old English Village tonight: Part 1, 7:45 p.m — String orchestra, Prof. Christiani’s pupils fancy dance, Miss Virgie Luckett: wres- tling, Messrs.

LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. —Reginald De Koven has written the best English opera of any American compoter, and it will be long before his “Robin Hood” will be equaled. In no subsequent effort has he come up to the standard of that tuneful work in popular estimation. There is more musicianly writing in the “Fencing Master,” in the “Mandarin” and in “The Highwayman,” but neither opera will ever reach the popularity attained by “Robin Hood.” In “The hwayman,” which was heard for the first time in this city last night at the Lafayette Square Opera House, the character of the music is the same as in “Robin Hood,” and the scene is laid in England. The time of the story gives De Koven an opportunity to write some old English ballads, glees and chor- als, which he has made effective. There are many pleasing melodies and some choruses that are remarkably good in con- struction, and, of course, splendidly sung. Perhaps the ensemble work is the best feature of the opera. Yet the ballads as- signed to the tenor, O'Meara, and those belonging to Lady Constance, Miss D'Ar- ville, are tuneful and catch the audience. There is no mistaking the origin of “The Scarecrow,” which, in the language of the street, is a “dead ringer” for “The Jet Black Crow,” as is the gypsy song for the “Tinkers’ ” chorus, but both are effectively sung and received deserved encores. Mr. Smith's book has some charming lyrics, and, while the dialogue is not as bright end witty as it might be, the lines are excellently handled by the company, which is one of the best organizations that has been seen here. Last night the honors were borne off by Joseph O'Meara. whose splendid tenor was heard to gcod advantage and who is an exception to the general run of operatic tenors, in that he can act as well as sing. He has a dash and vigor that is attractive, and he at once became a favorite with the audience, who -rewarded his efforts with liberal applause. Miss D’Arville was heard at a disadvantage, for she was evidently laboring under a severe cold, yet she strug- gled bravely through the role of Lady Constance. Miss Maude Williams has a good soprano voice and a beautiful face and filled the part allotted her with special credit. She is evidently eapatle of a larger sphere than the role of Lacy Pamela af- fords. Nellie Braggins was a com:ly and vivacious barmaid and was a good side partner* for Harry MacDonough, whose acrobatic comedy was highly entertaining. Jerome Sykes 1s a comedian of exception- al ability, and his Constable Quiller was a splendid piece of work. His humor has the appearance of being spontaneous and. is certainly contagious, and there is no effort to overdo his part in order to create a laugh. He can also sing well. Reginald Roberts, who is remembered here from his connection with the summer opera company, did a minor part in a pleasing manner. The remainder of the large cast were competent, and the chorus was nu- merous and effective. The opera was splen- didly mounted, and it will probably dupli- cate here its great success at the Broad- way Theater in New York. A largety in- creased orchestra, under the skillful lead- ership of Sig. de Novellis, was heard with great pleasure, and contributed to the gen- eral satisfaction of the performance. The singing of the Star Spangled Banner at the close of the performance aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the audience, a large portion of which joined in the nation- al song. NEW NATIONAL THEATER.—“An American Citizen” was presented to a large audience at the New National Theater last night. It is not a new play—in fact, a great deal of it was not new at its first preduction. But there is woven through the platitudes and commonplaces which are inevitable In the made-to-oder drama a vein of sentiment and an originality as to subject which lift the play well above the contemporary average. To fit Mr. Gocdwin with a semi-pathetic role repre- sents a most efficient effort. in literary tailoring. Mrs. Ryley has succeeded very admirably. Mr. Gocdwin is at his best when he is jocose. His manner of pro- jecting a laughable remark into the midst of a heart-wringing colloquy is something that few comedians could safely imitate. A constant flow of merry quips is expected from him and the effort to temper with scme refining restraints the comic exuber- ance natural to him is commendable and discreet. The pathos in “An American Citizen” is forceful rather by its quantity than by its quality. There are some in- cidents which bring tears as certainly as a club will cause a man to cry out and utter objurgations. The woman who loves with an unspoken love, and who on a darkened Stage caresses some portion of the loved one’s wardrobe is pretty sure to bring saline moisture to a number of lace pocket handkerchiefs. But this is a comparatively mild expedi- ent. The auditor ought to be inured to such wiles as this. It is in the last act that the determination to open the flood- gates of ntiment with a crowbar, if need be, is evinced. The playwright brings upon the scene the dead-broke and disconsolate lover reduced to the extremities of a red table cloth and a folding bed; shows how he limits his dinners to a mug of milk and a turkey sandwich in order to buy velvet gowns and ostrich feathers for the woman he loves. He is accompanied by the father- less and motherless protege with a dirty face and a property patch on his panta- loons. Through the window a dense snow- fail is seen making its way through a v.olent ultra-marine atmosphere. And there is the fireless hearth that blazes when the woman comes back to tell the hero she has found out how noble he is, ang the slow curtain on a tableau. which leaves no doubt that they lived happy ever after. Who could resist such an impera- tive combination? It overwhelms by force of numbers; you must yield your lachry- nicse tribute, slight or cop‘ous, according to temperament, and confess that your sersibilities are not impervious to clap- trap. Self-esteem can be saved only by the declaration that this clap-trap has been very deftly interpreted as well as lavishly employed. Miss Maxine Elliott was received with the evidences of ap- proval which her personal beauty and her rrarked improvement as a dramatic per- former deserved. It was a highly enthusi- astic audience, and Mr. Goodwin received a number of curtain calls at the close of the third act. GRAND OPERA HOUSE.—‘“Alone in London,” with Miss Cora Tanner as the star, which opened a week's sngagement at the Grand Opera House last night, is one of the strongest meiodramas seen here for a long time. The iarge audience which saw it was moved to tears more than once at the hardships and sacrifices uf the heroine for her heartless husband. It was thrilied by the strong situations and incidents. Miss Tanner kad shown her capabilities in Wash- ington before in the “Sporting Duchess,” and the audience last night was not disap- pomnted in the manner she conducted her- self ag a star. A less capabl2 actress would have doubtless be2n guilty of overworking the role, but Miss Tanner zarried it cleverly throughout. The four-act play tells the story of a simple country maid who marries a villain and is taken by tim to London. In the big city she is foreed to earn her own br2ad and suffer on account of her un- principled husband. In all the different parts she took Miss Tanner appeared to ex- cellent advantage, showing that while she is strong as an emotional actress, she pos- fesses no little talant as a comedienne. The star is supported by a good company and a large one. As the villain, Charles Can- fleld got all out of the part that was in it, and Louis Massen as the old friend of the heroine “up from Suffolk,’ was excellent. Miss Lenore Gordon, as Tom Chickweek, the street gamin, was far above the aver- age. The scenery is good throughout, and the scene in the third act, where the hero- ine is r2scued from the sluice, is realistic in the extreme. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—Fanny Rice and her pretty comedy, “At the French Bali,” ade a return engagement at the Academy of Music last night and succeeded in draw- ing an audience of sufficient proportions to make the occasion a notable one in the mater of attendance. It is safe to say that had Fanny Rice been given a play such as “At the French Ball” earlier in her career she would now be auapst re ae eee of her own peculiar bran e “‘profes- pion: but as it is she is making a strong bid for popularity in it, and from ap- pearances and judging by the houses she drew at her last engagement here and last night she {s succeeding admirably. “‘At the French Ball” is a pleasing skit, with a moral that is well brought out and which gives Fanny Rice unlimited opportunities to show her many accomplishments. The story is well known by this time and does pot need another telling. It only need be said that Fanny Rice e ces all the oppertunities that are presented to her, and makes out of them as much fun and refined humor as any one could wish. One of the most pleasing features of the whole ‘way, was the animated dolls, by Miss and an entire novelty in its | ‘THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1898-12 PAGES. whiely rt in their several characteris- ee awe To el +; pohn 8. * maker, Be ich, and<o! ing he ee Height, Effie Gutsg, Jo aac nee iner, fa ty» ae ee Guise, Miss Jeffries amd Alfred Martella. During the play severabspecialties were in- troduc2d that werexconsjderably above the average in such things. cAmong these must be mentioned the dance by Bicknell and Haight, banjo solos by John Mack, who had a negro character; solos by Maud Bageley and an enjoyable sextet. A pleas- ing feiture was the distribution of small American flags throughithe audience while Chris. Arth's excellent orchestra discours- ed patriotic music This practice will be observed at every ‘performance during the week. KERNAN'S LYCEUM THEATER.— There {s little to complain of in the per- formance given atiKerhan’s this week. It is in reality a double show for two sepa- rate companies, ‘one white, the other col- ored, presenting an entertainment that is entirely satisfactory. It is Flynn and Sher- idan’s Big Sensation Company. Large au- diences at both performances yesterday were on hand, and the colored contingent in the gallery was overflowing. A sensa- tional opening introducing both companies‘ was the first thing on the program, and during the twenty minutes devoted to it the strength’ of both companies was pre- sented. A colored cake walk, headed by the winners of the Madison Square Garden walk, closed the first part. Then came the olfo, introducing Gordon and Hughes, sou- brettes, who had several clever songs and a witty interchange of snappy dialogue. Marion and Pearl took some time to get acquainted,: but finished favorites. The college ground pastimes, a melange of sing- ing and dancing by the female members of both troupes, was a pleasing novelty. Bo- hee and Coapes did a short comedy turn and sang several selections from “Pina- fore.” Maxwell and Simpson illustrated sevcral stirring songs in a most acceptable manner. Lina and Bani contributed a somewhat difficult acrobatic. specialty and proved entirely satisfactory. The Golden Gate Quartet sang itself into immediate popularity, and two original burlesques, en- titled “A Swift Chase’ and “The Klon- dikers,” closed the show. Tonight a local colored couple will compete in the cake walk for the $50 prize. THE GREAT QUARTET SUNDAY NIGHT.—Those who attended the ensemble recital of the artists Ysaye, Marteau, Ger- ardy and Lachaume last Friday will wel- -come the- announcement that the. quartet returns for another recital Sunday evening at the Columbia. Washington has never had a concert more artistic or satisfactory from every point of view, and, if the ap- plause from the audience: indicated any- thing, more pleasing, and it is probable that all who were present will again attend. ‘The concert for Sunday evening is advertised at popular prices, which will doubtless attract many. The program will be new, and the young ‘cello player, Jean Gerardy, will give a solo. This will prove of de- cided interest and add much to the ensem- ble. Seats are now selling at Guzman's, in E. F. Droop & Sons’. THE HOFMANN RECITAL.—Josef Hof- ™mann returns to the Columbia for his sec- ond recital Tuesday afternoon, April 26, at 4:15. The impression left by this young artist after his first recital has resulted in a large demand for seats for the coming recital. In fact, the number of requests for another appearance resulted in his re- turn. Hofmann {s undeniably an artist of the first rank, and the many lavish things that have been said of him have not in any way been colored. Seats are selling at Guzman’s, in E. F. Droop & Sons’. ———___ OALL OF QRGANIZATIONS. Anti-Saloon League Inaugurates Its New Order of Business. The Anti-Saloon Ledgue at its meeting last night inaugurated the plan recently adopted of hearing reports from the af- fillated societies. Thé roll of about one hundred organizations, was called, and wherever a representative had something of special Interest to present two minutes was allowed to state the facts. Nearly the entire evening wasitaken-up with these reports. This will:be a standing order of business for each alternate meeting till further action by the league. The reports made’showed much activity, especially in having the children in. the Sunday schools sign pledge cards in the line of the work of the society. ~ Some of these cards pledge the Children alone, some both children and parents. Inf one or two cases the pledge was reported’to be against intoxicating liquors, agatnet tobacco, against profane and vulgar language and against gambling. Rev J. Fred. Heisse of Wesley Chapel made a stirring address, closing by saying that one of the happiest moments of his life was when he cast his first vote as a vote against the saloon. Mr. George W. Callahan announced that two mass meetings had been arranged fer. At the first, which will be held Friday, April 29, there will be an address by W. T: Bund of Virginia, who is spoken of as the equal of John B Gough in eloquence. The other will be at Takoma May 1, and addresses are expected from Representa- tive Botkin or Representative Pugh and others. There was considerable protest against the selling of liquor at the Masonic fair. It_ was explained that the sale was in quantities less than a pint not to be drunk on the premises, and so was within the law. It was urged, however, that the effects were as bad as if the traffic was illegal, with the added evil that it was a gambling transaction. A case was cited wheré a thirteen-year-old boy had got a bettle of whisky by trying his luck in the fish pond, Several Masons present dis- owned any connection with the fair. Mrs, Clinton Smith and Rev. Walter Brooks reported upon their attendance as fraternal delegates upon the Maryland Temperance Society convention at Balti- more last week. It was stated that of $1,000 collected for fines for illegal liquor selling in Montgomery county the Mont- gomery Anti-Saloon League had received Wee for the further enforcement of the Ww. Mrs. Martha Hamlin was elected corre- sponding secretary of the league. + Newsboy’s Change of Clothes. Samuel Robertson, a colored newsboy, Whose recent prosperity enabled him to purchase a new sult of clothes, yesterday went over to the river front near the foot of 17th street to change his garments. His cast-off clothing was left on the river bank. Sam returned to his newsboy companions, but recklessly omitted to report his change ef clothing to the police. Between 5 and 6 o'clock his discarded apparel was found, and in the absence of an explanation the police thought it possible the late owner had jumped in the river. Samuel Furtner, by whom the clothes were found, carried them to the first pre- cinct station, and the officers started an in- vestigation. A note book found in one of the pockets of the coat contained an ac- count with newsboys, and it was through this record that the police finally found Sam, “dressed in hts méw sult of clothes.” SOME CHILDREN grow slowiy thin tn ea are oo ee Both Goat” You can't sty ther ae aie Growing ere octet PS stamach or bowel trouble tham away easily.

The Central Labor Union met last even- ing at Typographical Temple, with Presi- dent N. C. Sprague in the chair, and Mr. J. M. Kreiter, secretary. A communication from E. Kurzenabe and Charles F. Bechtold, secretaries of the Na- tional Union of United Brewery Workers, was read, which stated, in substance, that as a result of the use of labor-saving in- ventions in the brewery industry an effort is being made by the National Union to re- duce the work day to nine hours for those employed at inside work in the breweries throughout the country. As an Initial move to secure this object, It is stated, the nine-hour day was demanded in the new proposition which was submit- ted to the Milwaukee brewers April 1. The Union requests the allied organizations throughout the country to communicate with the Brewers’ Association of Milwau- kee and ask them to grant the nine-hour work day. It is stated that if the Milwaukee brewers grant the nine-hour day, the same will be gained in St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati and all large cities in the near future, and a number of people who are walking the streets and are starving will be put to work. A special committee was appointed to draft resoluticns to conform with the above request, and to forward the same to the Boss Brewers’ Association. A communication was also read from the International Union of Bicycle Workers, W. E. Rausch, secretary, stating that the executive council of that body had declared a certain bicycle factory unfair, and a com- mittee was appointed to call cn the dealers here and infcrm them cf the above action. An appeal for ald was received from David Turner, secretary of the Porcelain Workers’ Protective Union of East Liver- pool, Ohio, which has been on a lockout for some months. The matter was referred to tha several trades unions affiliated with the Central Labor Union. A delegate from the bakers reported that a large concern here, in addition to those heretofore mentioned, is using the bread making machines, and he requested that the subject be mentioned by the delegates to the Central Labor Union, representing the several unions, and ask them not to patronize any of the firms who use the bread-making machines. A delegate from the piate printers report- ed that the Senate had passed an amend- ment to the sundry civil bill, providing “that no portion of the sum authorized to be used for plate printing shall be used for any printing of notes, bonds, checks or in- ternal revenue stamps other than for print- ing from hand roller presses." The dele- gate stated that there was no doubt the amendment would pass the House. A communication was read from Secre- tary Morrison of the A. F. of L., stating that an effort is being made to organize the newspaper mailers pf the country, and re- questing the co-operation of the Central Labor Union. The matter was referred to the organization committee. The secretary was directed, in reply to a request from the strike committee of branch 12, Quarrymen’s Union of Lithonia, Ga., to inform the District Commissioners that stone fcr public improvements here is being cut in Lithonia by non-union labor. The Choral Society Tonight. The last concert of th: Choral Society for the present seasen will be given at the Con- gregational Church, 10th and G streets northwest, this evening, when a rendition will be given of Dvorak’s “‘Spectr2’s Bride,” a dramatic cantata. The society gives this production for the third time in this city because of numerous requests for its repeti- tion received from those who have form:r- ly enjoyed it. It has secured the services of the Boston Festival Orchestra, an or- ganization of the highest grade and making | @ specialty of work with the leading choral societies of the country. The soloists are Mrs. Frances Dunton Wood of Boston, so- prano,; Mr. William Reiger of New York, tenor, and Mr. W. A. Howland of Boston, baritone. Mr. Reiger is so well known to the musical public that a detailed notice of him is hardly-m2cessary. He takes the role of the spectre. Mrs. Wood, who personates the bride, is but little known here, but is said to have a beautiful and sympathetic voice that has been admirably trained. Mr. Howland, the narrator, was one of the fa- mous “Bostonians,” having sung in “Robin Hood,” and has don> much oratorio work. He has been heard in the “Messiah,” “‘Sam- son,” “Judas Maccabeus” and similar works, and has appeared with the Handel and Hayden Society of Boston and other leading choral organizations. 66999000008 How AreYou This Spring?

Topic of an Address by M. E. T. Har- Stove. An address was delivered last evening at Rauscher's by Mr. E. T. Hargrove of Lon- Gon on the subject of an Anglo-American alliance. He said that the whole system of international law is based on the fact that nations have mutual interests; that they must have relations with one another. Cut off from Burepe and Asia, America would be ruined. Its interests had grown immensely during the past ten years tu China, and with a canal across the isth- mus it would reach enormcus proportions. He contended that the interests of Amer- ica and not onty England, bu: Canada, Australia and all other English-speaking countries, are mutual It was a humanitar- ian interest. “It is charged,” he added, “that England has always maintained a pricy of grab, and I do not propose to whitewash the past or to make apologies, but such Ix not the policy of England today. If it Would be doomed to ruli. it is too too narrow a policy. As Lend Salixb: said recently, all he desired to do now to preserve freedom of trade throu; out the world, that all may meet in bua’ ness intercourse upon a plane cf equal'ty, as friends instead of foes. That is the Policy of England today. “England feels ax America feels tedsy for humanity. So I maintain -hat !t Js for the best interests of England and America to form an alliance. If it were for their own selfish Interests it would fall, as it should justly fail. Rome fell because of her own aggrandizement, and Spain is al- ready fallen because she has bled col- enies to death. But the wnton 9% the English-speaking people wouil form a power which would dominate the world, preserv2 peace in place of war, benefit net only themselves, but all human. y mold the character of the world. —_>—__ Order of Rechabites.

THE NEW DRY AIR GERMICIDE FOR THR CURE OF DISEASES IN THE RES- PIRATORY ORGANS. WATURE’S OWN REMEDY. BY INHALATION ALONE CAN GERMS BE REACHED AND DESTROYED. Tt has often been said by scientific and medical men that nature hus provided a cure for every dis- ease, an antidote for every poison. This saying Was never go clearly exemplified as in the discov- ery of HYOMEL, typ first Dry Air Germicide ever found of sufficient power to kill the germs of all respiratory diseases, yet volatile enough to bregnate every particle of air breathed and leave it free from moisture. For physicians have labored to find some cure for Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthme and Consumption, and statistics show bow Utterly they bave fatied in thelr efforts. This has not been for thé lack of a remedy which would Kill the bacilli of disease, but due to the fact thi such remedies could be used In mo other way th through sprays, douches, atomizers and vapors, which precluded all possibility of their ever enter- ing the brouchial tubes and lungs. What a con- trast between these old methods and the new! Since HYOMEI was first discovered this new ger- micide, which can be cerried io the alr you breathe to the minutest air cells of the lungs, has been tested by over 381,000 people, and, although every bottle bas been guaianteed, but eleven persons out of this vast number have reported no benefit re- ceived and asked for a return of thelr mouey. “HYOMEI” CURES BY INHALATION. “Hyomet” Outfit. $1.
