CROSSTOWN HERDIC LINE Proposition Advocated by North Capitol and Eckington Association. Estimated That the Avaliable for Use of Fifteen Line Will Be Theusand People. Nert itol Asseciation met last evening at its 1, corner of R street and Lincoln ave- nue, and took action which promises to re- sult in the establishment of a cress-town line of herdics, to run from 3d and T streets northeast, southward on 3d street to R and thence westward to 9th street, where a transfer system will be arranged with the Metropolitan Railroad Company. The meeting was called to order by Wm. G. Henderson, president, with W. J. Hughes serving as secretary. At a former meeting of the association a committee, of which Mr. H. E. Williams was chairman, was appointed to ascertain if some arrangement could be made with the Metropolitan Ccach Company for the establishment of a line of herdics* from The h ¢ Eckington to 9th street, to connect with = the Metropolitan Railway Company. Mr. Williams reported to the association that the coach company would prefer having a Proposition submitted to it by the people of £ckington. An informal! conference with representatives resulted in an understand- ing of the terms that would probably be acceptable to the coach company. After considerable discussion it was de- cided to make this proposition to the coach company in a modified form, dependent upon the ability of the committee to place 300 shares of the company’s stock at $10 a share. Mr. Williams sail a car@ful estimate had demonstrated that the proposed herdic line would be avaifuble for the use of from 12,000 to 15,000 people. Resolutions Adopted. ‘The association finally adopted a resolu- tien to the effect “That the committee be suthorized, if it cen secure the guarantee of the company, to rut on a line of coaches end operate the same for sixty days (on a schedule of not mcre than five and eight minutes), and ff it pays expenses to con- tinue the same for six months thereafter. and to continue the same beyond six months as long as it pays 6 per cent inter- est en the investment. iso that the asso- ciation recommends to its members and the neighborhood the purchase of 300 shares of the stock of the company at par, Provided the Metropolitan Coach Company will give this stock representation on its board of directors.” An Alternative Poxsibte. Mr. A. R. Serven said if this proposition is not accepted by the company he was reasonably sure he could arrange for the establishment of an independent coach line. If the above prop by sition shall be accept- the coach company, the section sh which the line will pass will be ca the committee in order to place the 300 shares of sto ed Mr. M. O. Chance and Wm. H. Pindell were elected members of the association. —— AMUSEMENTS. COLUMBIA THEATER. — The Columbia Stock Company scored an emphatic and un- qualified hit in “Held by the Enemy” last night. Melodrama, and war melodrama at that, might be considered a rather heating form of intellectual sustenance for this time of year. But the war-enthused audi- ence at the Columbia did not find it so. “Held by the Enemy” is one of the few plays which succeed in thrilling without being cheap in its devices. The absence of the conventional villain 1: one sufficient to give the piece a distinctive charm. No production from Mr. Gillette's industrious pen has done more to demonstrate that gentleman's facility in plot-mechanism than this one. The evenness and merit of the performance was a surprise, despite the excellent results previously achieved by the Columbia Stock Company. There was no need to make allowances. The production can stand forth on its simple merits and challenge comparison with performances of the play when it was first launched upon its career. Miss Maud Haslam is a con- scientious and capable actress, who por- trays the distresses of the heroine with un- affected dign Mr. William Ingersoll’s popularity ‘with the audience was an- nounced before he had time to utter a line. His appearance as Colonel Prescott by that bestowed upon the genial adaptable Mr. Barrows. Mr. Edwin Ma aye as the confederate soldier, sentence: py, was eminently admirable. comparauvely little to do, he succeeded in making his work a distinctly powerful cle- nt in the excellence of the performance. pression his work has made joining in 5 E 'S Tespon: alls af- character he assumes is supposed be dead. Mr. Alexander Kearney lent rit to the role of the kindly but over- zealous brigade surgeon, while Mrs. Agnes Findlay and Miss Margaret M the elderly maiden lady and the inge re- spectively, were not lacking in appreciation of the requirements of their roles. At the close of the play a tableau, in which a picture of the battle ship Maine, as peared when blown up, had a conspicu- vociferousiy received, whil¢ layed by Mr. Minster’s 4 with Various dem- sentiment and approval.

His ingenious and startling surpri: in the shape of music were great- ly ex , and easily won the cake in the grand walk at the close of the first part. The distinctive feature of the show, however, is the spectalty of Josephine Gass- man, who, in addition to being a clever delineator of nezro melodies, introduces a laugi > novelty in the shape of two di- minutive pickarinnies, who, combining ngt- ural talent with excellent training, provoke roars of laughter. They are surely not over four and five years of age. Winifred Stewart caug in what the program called a phenomenal baritone voice, but it was really so low and soft that one could not well distinguish what it was. Campbell and Shepp, German dialect comedians, were exceptionatly clever and showed to’ what an extent original fun may be carried. Hart, Walling and Weston were a surprise. After a weak beginning they rapidly im- proved, and ended their act amid loud ap- plause. A burlesque, entitled “The Isle of Sham-pain,” closed ‘the performance. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. — Patriotism and plaudits characterized the reception of Frank Campbell's war play, “Gettysburg,” at the Grand Opera House last night. The cheers were so continuous that much of the dialogue was lost. It was a thoroughly en- thusiastic audience, and one that was more inclined to joyousness than pathos. Con- trary to the expectation of those who came expecting a sanguinary conflict on the stage, there was no organized fighting. All that was seen of the Gettysburg battle was its grewsome sequel—the field after the fight, covered with the dead and dying. The play is in five acts and the scene shifts from a gun factory near Rishmond, Va., to the picket line before Gettysburg, then to army keadquarters at Richmond, and finally to the interior of a Richmond prison. An appropriate tableau ends each act. The cast comprised Frank G. Campbell, Jno. H. Cossar, Joseph Zahner, George C. Denton, Fred Ames, W. P. Sheldon, Nagle Barry, G. W. Fowler, F Busly, M Camille mpbell, Hess, Pitt ¢ Green. Campt who pogtrayed Tom Markh the hero, played the part with vigor and sympathy and won unstinted cheers. The other characters were depicted with vary- ing degrees of acceptability. FATIMA.—Exclusive ladies’ matinees will be given Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons by the owners and managers of the oriental sife-size painting by Phil. Clo- ver at 1411 Pennsylvania avenue, with an entrance through Willard Hotel lobby, where the fine picture is on exhibition. This picture hus excited universal comment since Its first exhibition here,and the interest that has* been manifested in it promises to con- tinue for some time to come. The picture is open for general exhibition at all tim except the afternoons specified in the fore- going. May i, MISS CORA SHREVE’S MAY CARNI- VAL.—The third annual May carnival and j exhibition of fancy dancing of the pupils of Miss Cora B. Shrev2 will be given at National Rifles’ Armory this evening at 8 o'clock. Besides the usuai features that are always a part of May celebrations of this character there will be some entirely new dances and some new songs as well by some of the smallest juveniles of the city. THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.—Rev. C. H. Butler will deliver a lecture at the Kei- Jer Memorial Lutheran Church, Maryland avenue and 9th street northeast, this even- ing at 8 o'clock on the Yellowstone N tional Park. Mr. Butler will give a descrip- tion of the wonders and beauties of thi: garden spot of our country, and the attract- iveness of the subject will be enhanced by a series of fine views of the most notable points of interest in the national park. THE BATTLE OF MANILA.—No more fitting spectacle for Decoration day, Mon- day, May 30, could be witnessed than Pain’s supreme achievement, his reproduc- tion of the battle of Manila, whicn will be given at the Base Ball Park at 8:30 p.m. While the patriotic pulse is temper- ed to fever heat few wil! undoubtedly miss the opportunity to see the glory of our arms reproduced as faithfully as it has promised Pain has succeeded in doing in this instance. In this spectacle, upon a Stage 300 feet in length, the spectator will see before him the fortress of Cavite, with the Bay of Manila in the foreground, and will behold an accurate representation of the stirring scenes that occurred upon the memorable Sunday of May 1. In this pro- duction Pain has endeavored to make all the effects so realistic that the impression of seeing naval warfare as it really occurs, it is promised, will be simply startling in its effect. Exact duplication of the Amer- ican and Spanish squadrons will be seen in full motion, employing the use of over twenty warships, and upon the enormous stage will be seen all the details of the terrific confiict. The entrance of the Amer- ican commodore'’s ships in the dark, the location of the Spenish squadron, the siow victory culininating in the fire of the ene- my’s ships, one by one, in historic order, the terrific cannonade, which it is said will actually be heard for blocks aw: will form scenes of lurid grandeur that will be long remembered. To accommodate the public tickets will be sold in advance at the box otlice of the New National Theater, beginning Friday morning. > WANTS RECEIV APPOINTED.

The award of the gold and bronze medals will be made tomorrow morning by a jury composed of three well-known art- ists, Miss Cecilia eaux, Mrs. -Rhoda Holmes Nichols and Miss Rosina Emmett Sherwood, but the announcement will not be made until late in the afternoon, when the students and a number of invited guests will assemble to learn the result of the contest and to have a first view of the exhibition. ‘The greatest interest c2nters in the draw- ings, which are entered for the medal com- petition, and which are hung in the hemi- cycle. Each of the fifteen contestants sub- mits thre drawings from life and an equal number from the antique, and a pretty even standard is maintained throughout the en- tire display, one student excelling in one point while the work of another is to be commended for good qualities of an entirely different sort. It may chance that the modeling in the work py one student is ad- mirable, but the outline may be drawn in an uncertain way, and another drawing may be executed with a great dzal of pre- cision, and yet lack the movement and ac- tion that is to be found in the work of yet another student. The points of merit differ so widely in the various contributions that it is said to be, to borrow an expression from the turf, exceedingly difficult to “pick a winner.” A Marked Advance. In the showing made by the competitors, as well as in the display made in other branches of study, a marked advance over last year is said to be easily discernible, and Prof. Andrews has good reason to be satisfied with the seasen’s progress. The Hist of students competing for the- medals does not by any means include all of the capable workers from the antique and life and Daisy Loomis, Sadie Hinrichs and Belle Davis are among those who show creditable work done in the day classes. From the night life class come well-studied contribu- tions by Messrs. Hoff, Ethel and Thrall, the last mentioned exhibiting a series of paint- ings from the nude. Loretto Lowenstein has on view a series of ten-minute sketches, drawn from the nude in the special class, which several of the students organized of their own accord, and she has caugnt the action of the figures in a remarkably suc- cessful manner. an interesting series of sketches from the antique, and shows one figure in many different views.

The men in the command, Col. Read say are mostly woodsmen and mechanics—hon- est men, hardworking and faithful to any trust. They are men, he adds, who can stand well active service in almost any clime. Col. Read was in consuliation with the adjutant general of the state of New ¥Yerk just before coming to Washington, and was assured by that officer that wider the second cajl for volunteers his com- mand would undoubtedly be one of the fir: mustered into the service. ‘ol.
