Effort to Remove National Head- quarters to This City—Objects of the Order. ‘The Cigarmakers’ International Union of America, it is claimed, ts one of the strong- est and best organized labor organizations in the country, its influence extending ev- erywhere, and its efforts largely are in the agitation of the general acceptance of the blue label, the sign of union-made cigars. ‘The national offices are located at Chicago, lll, with G. W. Perkins as president. An effort was made to have the headquarters moved to this city, and the movement in this direction fs not yet at an end. The next national convention, it is said, which will not be held for several years, is apt to witness the consummation of this pur- pose. The other national officers are Sam- uel Gompers, first vice president, who is also president of the American Federation of Labor; James Wood, Cincinnati, Ohio, second vice president; J. J. Murphy, Ham- ilton, Ontario, third vice president; Thomas F. Tracy, Boston, Mass., fourth vice presi- dent; L. A. Bolio, Westfield, Mass., fifth vice president; Samuel B. Hasson, Balti- more, Md., sixth vice president; Charles Specht, St. Louis, Mo., seventh vice presi- dent; Gibson Weber, Philadelphia, Pa., treasurer. The official report of the organization has just been made public. It shows that the total number of members January 1 of this year was 26,341, which does not include the traveling members. In all there are 401 unions established in as many cities in this country and Canada. The receipts of the national organization for last year were 86.07, while the expenses were $514,- , leaving a balance on hand of $194,- . The organization has loans out- standing to its members aggregating $88,- 601.20. During the last_year for sick bene- fits the sum of $112,774.63 was expended among members, while others, through the “out of work’ benefit, received a total of $117,471.40. The death benefits for the period amounted to $69,186.67. For the as- sistance of justifiable strikes the sum of $12,175.09 was expended. A total of $25,- 363.236 was expended in agitating the intro- duction of the blue label, and assistance rendered to local unions by the internation- al union involved an expenditure of $2 765 additional. The total benefits paid in 1896 amounted to $424,266.64, while for last year the total amount patd was $340,674.83. Since the or- zation of the international union the und total of benefits paid amounts to S. «nization Is represented in this ion No. which meets every y ith street. It has a membership of sixty-eight, and during last year the receipts amounted to $3. The expenses amounted to $2,750.44, leaving lance on hand of $486. The sum of $665.50 was expended in “out of work” nefits, while $286.00 was given out for sick benefits. The death benefits amounted to §: additional, while loans to the amount of § were granted. The in- ternational union also received $350 of the receipts. The national organization is one of the few labor associations which provides for payment of its members when out of work, or gives them a loan when it is desired, the repayment of the same being on an easy plan. When sick all members are given a in case of death n amount is paid to the family or ves of the deceased, the amount de- rg entirely upon the time he has been a member of the organization. —— CHANCELLOR MAKES REPORT. regular weekly benefit, an a cert: Pregress in the Construction of the American University.

Miss Bertie Reichenbach captivated the audience by her singing of “Springtide’ with a violin obligato by Mr. Finckel. A solo by Miss Money, with violin obligato by Miss Baird, was well rendered. Mr. Fronani’s piano solo calied for a decided encore, as did his duet with Miss Marshall. Mr. Finckel ren- gered a violin solo in a finished manner.

THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1898-16 PAGES AMUSEMENTS. —— THE LAMBS’ GAMBOL TONIGHT.— Not since the “all-star” cast in “The Rivals,” which was presented here by a collection of stage celebrities some time ago, has anything in the way ef theatrical ventures awakened the interest that cen- ters in the performance at the National Theater tonight by the Lambs’ Club of New York. And yet when it is realized that those who are to take part in this prcduction are the best-known people on the American stage, that what they ere to present has been dished up by the clever- est of American authcrs and that the stage accessories will be looked after by rerscns who have long occupied the most prominent places in stage life, it could not Well be otherwise. The Lambs’ Club has cenfined its gambols in the past to New Ycrk, giving the people of that metropolis the opportunity to srare in its fun. This year the debt on the club house has made @ speedy raising of money imperative, and in consequence the Lambs are giving a series of performances in the large cities of the country, makirg unheard jumps by means of the raliroad, and drawing houses that have broken all records in the matter of theatrical attendance. ‘The Lambs’ All-Star Minstrel Company, as it is semi-officially known, will present at the National Theater tonight a bill that for diversity, prominent people and gen- eral excellence could not be bettered. The first part will consist of a minstrel extrava- ganza, in which De Wolf Hopper, Wash- ington’s favorite, will appear as the inter- locutor. He will have on the ends, to assist him, Nat Gocdwin, Stuart Robson, H. C. Barnabee, Jeff de Angelis, Willie Collier and Ignacio Martinetti, a coterie of fun makers that should make this particular minstrel show shine for many years to come. The vocalists will be Chauncey Ol- cott, Eugene Cowles, William H. Mac- donald, Digby Bell, Van Rensselaer Wheel- er, William Philip, Edmund Stanley and Charles Hepper, and the songs which this collection of singers should be able to serve ought to please the most fastidious kind of an audience. The remainder of the show will be made up of specialty acts, such as a pantomime by Joseph Holland and Fritz Williams, the Lambs’ Big Four in a cake- walk, a burlesque on “The Heart of Mary. land,” entitled the “’Art of Maryland, in which a celebrated cast will be present- ed, and a concluding feature an original sketch of stageland that will prove to be delightfully entertaining and novel. THE BATTLE OF MANILA.—The war, which is so engrossing the public mind, has given Pain, the famous inventor of start- ling spectacles, ideal opportun'ty to make use of the vast resources at his cemmand, and the ne" of our great victory at Man- ila had hardiy been confirmed than he at once gave orders creating the most elab- orate and colossal exhibition he has ever attempted. This has been called “The Bat- tle of Manila,” and it will be seen here on Decoration day, Monday, May 30, at the Base Ball Park, 8:30 o'clock p.m. This spectacle is intended to: reproduce faith- fully, with novel realistic effects, all the details of that memorable engagement. The scene represents the bay of Manila in the foreground, with the fort of Cavite and the arsenal. Over 200 ships in full action pass upon the scene, ch a faithful re- production of the originals engaged in the conflict. With startling ingenuity the bat- tle 1s reproduced, and the effects of the screeching of shells, the firing of cannon and the burning of ships are said to be sensationally startling, and explain in a more convincing manner than could be had through any other means, the terrors of naval warfare as it really exists. To ac- commodate the public and avoid the rush at the grounds, an advance sale of tickets and private boxes will be opened tomorrow morning at 8:30 at the box office of the New National Theater. AN ORGAN RECITAL.—An organ re- cital and flag consecraticn that promises to be one of the most enjoyable events of the kind given in this city for some time will take place at the Ninth Street Christian Church tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. The program which has been prepared is a long and varied one and contains many features that should prove to be enjoyable in the extreme. The recital is under the direction of Prof. Charles Haydn Chase, orgapist and musical director of the Ninth Street Church. The recital will also have an added interest, as it will serve to dedicate tke fine new organ which has just been completed and ced in position in the church. These who will contribute num- bers are Miss Abbie M. Power, assistant organist of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church; Miss Elizabeth Wahly, soprano of the Metropolitan M. E. Church; Mr. Eibert H. Johnson, tromtone soloist; Prof. Wil- bur organist of the Metropolitan M. ; Pref. H. Clough Leiter, or- y P. E. Church; John Duffey of the Mt. Vernon M. EB. Church; s Bertha McKnight, assistant organist of the Ninth Street Christian Church, and Prof. Charles Haydn Chase. Besides those mentioned, the inth treet Christian Church Choir will give two selections. The flag consecration services will consist of ergan selections, in which national airs will, of course, predominate; a consecration prayer, and a national air by the entire audience. genist of the Epiphan: H —__>—__ CURSIO Kismet Council of the Royal Arcanum and a host of its friends, in all nearly 1,200 persons, were the guests of Capt.

The opening of the new store of the Cas- telberg National Jewelry Co., 935 Pennsyl- vania avenue, last evening, was made the occasion of a reception, which was largely attended by the friends and patrons of the establishment. In honor of the event nu- merous floral tributes had been sent to Mr. Castelberg, and among these was an ap- propriate design presented by the employes, During the evening music was supplied by Haley’s Band, and among the numbers was a two-step, by Mr. Thomas Wilkinson, en- titled, “The Diamond King,” and dedicated to Mr. Robert Castelberg.

Collections to Be Made for Use of Na- tonal Museam-and the Smith- soniam Institution. Plans for the usual summer expeditions of scientists of the National Museum and Smithsonian Institution are being perfect- ed. If one of these is-carried out, it will be @ most extensive and in all likelihood a Most fruitful one, exceeding in results any which have been sent out from either of these two great storehouses. It is no less than to combine a number of scientists of the museum and institution in one com- pany, with a man of the highest attain- ments in scientific lines at the head, and send the party to Manila, with the troops, if any shall go in the future. The idea has been broached and has met. with approval from those competent to judge of such schemes and their outcome. It has been pointed out, it was stated to a Star re- porter, that, as the islands will most likely remain under the rule of the United States, the collection of objects to be secured there will be of the greatest possible interest to the people in this country. It Was de- clared, also, that the matter of sending an expedition of scientists along with troops of conquest, in a new country, was no new thing. It was practiced repeatedly by Na- poleon, and under him was found to work excellently, as the museums and laborato- ries of France were filled with thousands of interesting collections. Collections of Value Possible. “The Island of Luzon especially is @ place where collectioas of the greatest value may be secured,” said a scientist at tha museum to the reporter yesterday. “‘All of the Phil- ippines are spots which can supply much which would be most attractive for our purposes and the public in general. I think by the scizntists co-operating with the troops, as it were, the best results would be undoubtedly attained. The natives are ami- cably disposed toward us, and would, I am certain, rendec valuable assistance. By sending an *xpedition at the present time much of the cost necessary to one, if it would go under any other circumstances, would be done away with. Even if the United States should not hold the islands, the collections would greatly enrich us.” A man from =very branch would probbly be included in the expedition, including an ethnologist, a botanis:, a geologist, and so on, so that all the ground could be fully covered. Each year about this time the corps of assistants in th» museum and institution make ready to go on different explorations. Some of them have aiready gone. Prof. Stejneger, who has been seal commissioner for several y2ars, has gone to Europe, where he will study the larger museums, their methods and ‘objects, with a view of applying his knowledge to the National Mu- seum. He will also visit Norway, his home. Prof. Holmes of the department of an- thropology wiil go to Omaha this week to see that the lay figures in the ethnological exhibit there are properly arranged. He will return to Washington and remain here until August, when he will visit Boston to attend the sessions of the Association for the Advancement of Science. From there he will go direct to*the Pacific slope to make researches along geological und archaeological lines, Prof. J. Walter Fewkes will leave for Arizona about the Ist of July to still fur- ther continue his ethnological work among the Moqui Indian tribes. Prof. Hougl» will not accompany him this year, as he is now acting curator of:ethnology in the absence of Prof. Otis T. Mason, who is S11. Dr. Dale of the: Smithsonian will take a trip to extend hissalready extensive knowl- edge on geological matters, while Prof. James Wilson will probably pursue his in- vestigations on mboriginal relics in the south. Others attached» to the corps of scientists are also arranging for summer outings. Late Acquisitions, Although the arrangement ofthe exhibit for the Omaha exposttion and the moving of the objects to fill the galleries newiy finished in the. museum have both con- sumed much time and attention, eollections have been made in the meantime, and ar- ranged in the ‘halls. A collection which is attracting great attention fs that of guns, ancient and modern. This has been set up in two table cases. The collection might represent ‘The Evolution of the Firearm.” First 1s shown the matchlock invented by the Ohincse, then the flintlock. Next ara shown the guns using percussion caps, then rifles and shotguns, breechloaders, revoly- ing chambered guns and magazine guns of modern form. In the collection are two or three guns of peculiar design and construction. One is a combination airgun, shotgun and cartridge gun, using the earliest metal cartrid; It was invented by Joseph Saxton, an Eng- lishman, who died more than fifty years ago. The gun was presented by a grand- son of his, who resides in Washington. Sull another gun of extraordinary pat- tern 1s a cumbersome form of spring air- There is a windlass in the breech, which winds up several strong steel springs connected with a piston. When these springs are released they drive a piston for- ward in a cylinder of compressed air. The air is released in a still smaller barrel and the bullet is driven out. The guns used by the soldiers of Uncle Sam, the Mauser and Krag-Jorgensen rifles, will ‘soon be added to the collection. First Attempts With Telephone. Peculiar interest attaches to a coilection recently turned over to the museum by Prof. Alexander Graham Bell. This shows his first attempts at perfecting the tele- phone. One of the cbjects ts a large dia- phragm, two feet in diameter, constructed oz half-inch boiler plate iren. This was about the first diaphragm which the inven- tor made to work successfully. The ivory incased “receivers” attached to the ‘phone through which Queen Vic- teria listened in 1878 are shown. It was a Tmagneto-hand ‘phone, and was taken over to England to be tested by her Britannic majesty by the late Gardiner Hubbard. The electrical apparatus invented by Prof. Bell and used to locate the fatal bullet in the body of President Garfield is in the collection. There are many other like ob- jects of interest. Louis P. Meeker, teacher of manuai training among the Cheyenne Indians in Oklahoma, has recently contributed some interesting objects. One of these is an In- dian game, which will be added to the games of the world in the museum. It is primitive in the extreme, and is of the cup and ball order. It is made by stringing four bones from the leg of a deer on a bead-covered sirew about a foot long. A bead knot at one end prevents the bones frem slipping threngk. At the. other end is a needle made ofiwite. In the bones are numerous holes. Th: game is ad by holding the bones? between the thumb and forefinger of the leftwhand and the needle in the right. Thesbones arc swung with a graceful movemeat and released, the ob- ject being to stick the needle through one of the holes in the!‘bones. Each one of these holes has a-particular value, In the Istevest of Cupid. Mr. Meeker hassalso' sent the roots of an herb which is unfaémilar to him. The roots are used by the»Cheyennes to produce a love philter. An Indian youth, if he wishes to captivate a maiden, chews some of the root and stands #0 that some of his breath will be blown om: the object of his affec- tion. Or he slyly touches her hair with some of the saliva. o ‘The collection of Indian crania, compris- ing some 2,200 skulls, collected by the Army Medical Museum for purposes of measure- ment, comparison and the securing of other data, has just bean taken to the National Museum. Some of them will be placed on exhibition there. * Dr. Abbott has sent another ethnological collection from the far east, and a most valuable one from an ethnological stand- int has been secured from Rev.
