Success Covers Good Work. The committee on halls and meeting places also had grave responsibilities, its duty being to secure appropriate spots for the numerous gatherings to be held during th2 convention. When it is realized that no less than ten separate meetings of as many departments of the association de- veted to distinct and particular branches of education are to be held each afternoon, while two gezzral sessions are to be held each d. the work before the committee can be estimated.

Advertisement, ed a letter from the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, through Mrs. Clinton Smith, the superintendent of the legisla- tive department of that association, ex- pressing their gratitude for the bill sub- mitted to Congress by the Commissioners to remedy the defects of the local liquor law. This letter, written before the dif- ference of opinion between the United States district attorney and the attorney for the District caused the recall of the or- fer prohibiting the sale of liquors to sol- diers, and che Commissioners are informed that the W. C. T. U. 1s also delighted with their prompt action upen the discovery of the cld law which prohibited the sale of irtoxicating liquers to soldiers. “We wish respectfully to inquire,"” con- tinues Mrs. Smith, ‘if? you deem that old law permanent, end if this seems to be doubtful, would you be willing to add or cause to be added a clause to your new bill embodying the same?” Replying to this letter of inquiry, the Ccmmissioners Lave notified Mrs. Clinton Smith that they acted uncer the advice of treir attorney, but the United States dis- trict attorney has taken a different view of the present status of the law, and instruct- ed his assistants at the Police Court not to attempt to enforce it. >_—. ADVERSE ACTION. Disapproval of Legislation Respect- ing Outstanding Claims. The District Commissioners have recom- mended to the chairmen of the two District committees adverse action on the Dill to amend the “act to provide for the settle- ment of all outstanding claims against the District of Columbia,” and conferring ju- risdiction on the Court of Claims to hear the same, as approved June 16, 1880. The Commissioners say that, in their opinion, the bill involves a principle which has been agitated so frequently, and has been decided adversely so pointedly in the Supreme Court of the United States, and by Congress itself, regarding contract rates and board rates, that they have no hesi- ‘y in reporting the bill back adversely. port of the District auditor setting forth at length the objectionable features of the bill, as well as interesting history of earlier actions touching the principle in- volved, was transmitted, to which the Commissioners say they feel {t not neces- sary to add anything excepting a formal recommendation against its enactment. >_—_ EXCURSIONS. Tomorrow will be another of those pleas- ant Wedne ys at River View, when the trips of the steamer Samuel J. Pentz are made under the personal direction of Capt. B. S. Randall and his corps of assistants. These trips are always pleasant, particul- larly for the young people, who go on these trips in large numbers and spend the day and evening in dancing to their heart's content. The dancing pavilion at River View is one of the largest on the river, and, situated as it is, on the bluff over- looking the river, catches every bit of breeze that blo’ If you want a cool plece to spend the day River View is the place. Yesterday when the heat was al- most unbearable in town, at River View a delightful breeze was blowing and every one felt comfortable. Tomorrow the steam- er Samuel J. Pentz will leave her wharf, foot of 7th street, at 10 a.m., 2:15 and pm., and will make trips homeward at short intervals. The chute and other amusements will be in full operation and all who visit the View will have a good time. The first of those enjoyable excursions to Colonial Beach and summer resorts on the lower Potomac will be given on Satur- day, July 2. The steamer T. V. Arrow- smith will leave her wharf at 6 p.m. sharp for Colonial Beach, Colton’s, Piney Point, St. George’s Island, Yeocomico river, Coan river and Smith's ‘creek. Returning, will leave these points on Monday, July 4, in time to reach this city at 9 p.m. As the “Glorious Fourth’ comes on Monday, this trip gives an opportunity to be away from the city for two days. The salt water bathing and fishing are excellent at all the above places, which have long been faver- ite summer resorts with many Washing- tenians. ———————— ORDER OF RECHABITES. Colambia Tent Holds a Meeting and Elects Officers. At the usual weekly session of Columbia Tent, No. 1, Independent Order of Rechab- ites, held last evening in Masonic Hall, 19th street and Pennsylvania avenue north- west, the following officers were elected for the term ending December 31, 1898: Shep- herd, John Welch; chief ruler, Willlam KE.

The Washington city free library, which has been in active operation for two years and a half, has suspended the issuance of books, and fs calling in books now out in the hands of subscribers. This action is taken in anticipation of the early opening of the new municipal library, whose maintenance {s now provided for in the current District appropriation bill. The library rooms will be kept open for a short time to receive returned books and close accounts. This collection will be soon again open to the public in the municipal library, to which it has been donated. It numbers over 12,000 volumes, thoroughly catalogued, and in some respects a valuable collection. ee A very valuable tract of about five acres fronting Piney Branch road, adjoining Ta- koma Park, and at the Intersection of Ta- kema Park electric railway with Piney Branch road, will be sold at auction by trustees tomorrow at 6:15 o’clock p.m. See advt. for particulas < ages Bids for Forage. In response to readvertised proposals for furnishing the District with forage, except- ing hay and straw, for the year ending June 30, 1899, bids were received at the District building from 8. 8.

Justice Cox, in Equity Court No. 1, to- day granted an absolute divorce to Mrs. Laura 8S. Graham from Ernest L, Graham. Mrs. Graham alleged extreme cruelty. She was represented by Mr. Ed. L. Gies.

CORP., Sole Props., Boston. 7“‘How to Cure Every Skin and Blood Humor,” enjoyed the work of the stock company in “Esmeralda.” The>admirable performance was calculated to impress the all-round ef- ficiency of the organization, bringing prom- inently forward, asit did, people whose ef- forts had hithertorbeen comparatively in- conspicuous. The play‘has the quietness of quality, which almost: invariably charac- terlzes Mrs. Frances “Hodgson Burnett’s work. The characters have an atmosphere of probability. None of them say or do anything which might not occur to the most ordinary of mortals, and the events which sway their fortunes and affections would hardly be ealled daring in their originality. Yet the old tender story of love, trial, fidelity and reunion was still Potent to awaken echoes of the enthusiasm which made meralda” one of the reigning suc- cesses years ago. A simple, direct story simply and directly told often secures a mighty following, whether its habitat be the glare of the footlights or the book in the Village circulating library, whose leaves have felt the touch of innumerable femin- ine fingers and whose pages have been dewed from cover to cover by unsophisti- cated tears. The performance of the title role by Miss Eleanora Browning was in all respects to be commended, and Edward Mackay fully kept the promise of better things to come implied by his careful work earlier in the summer season. To consider the cast individually would be but to reit- erate the compliments which have been paid the various participants in the per- formance over and over again. GLEN ECHO.—“Fra_ Diavolo” of dark and swarthy form, the gentleman and rob- ber and the popular terror in song and rhyme of that portion of Italy in the neighborhood of Terracina, held the stage at Glen Echo last night. ' With his asso- clates in crime, tourists, guardsmen and village folk, he entertained one of the largest crowds that has yet visited this popular up-the-river resort. “Fra Diavolo,” romantic in its every line almost, yet pos- Sesses a vein of humor here and there, giving ample opportunity for its portray. ers to demonstrate their versatility. Mr. Parry’s company does not fail to take ad- vantage of this opening, and the result is an evening's entertainment that is hardly surpassed by any operatic organization ex- tant, and which has seldom been equaled by a summer season mpany. “Fra Di- avolo” is much like “Cavalleria Rusti- cana” in theme, made brighter than Mas- cagni’s masterpiece by the injection of two comedy parts, in the persons_of Beppo and Giacomo, two funny robbers, who do not fail to be seriously serious, however, when the time arrives. Lord Allcash, the En- glish traveier, can also be made one of the bright bits of work in the opera, and Harry Carter, who essayed the role last night, made it so. His work was of a high class order throughout and an enjoyable fea- ture of the production. Mr. Carter's work behind the scenes as stage manager was also evidenced by the smoothness of the performance, the handsome settings and prettily grouped chorus. The title role was in the hands of Mr. Charles Hawley, who has already demon- strated his ability as an actor and singer in baritone parts, and his work throughout the varying career of his daring brigand Was most excellent. From the tuneful song, in which he tells of himself, in the first act in a duet with Zerlina, up to the un- expected death scene just before the cur- tain drop, Mr. Hawley was always a wel- come figure on the stage. Jay Taylor, as Lcrenzo, does the best bit of work of his stay in this city. His singing of several difficult solos brought forth much applause. rank Deshon shares the comedy with Tem Springer, who has marked ability in this line. In the last act, however, Deshon is seen at his best in the trying and dra- matic position of hearing his chief walking to his doom without being able to warn him of the danger. Miss Viola D’Armon as Lady Alleash ts clever, as usual, and to thos? who have: seen her in the preced- ing operas at the Glen this means much. Her role does not call for much singing, and this is a disappointment. Miss Car- lotta Gilman assumes the prima donna rart of Zerlina. Tom Daly sings well as the innkeeper. Miss Crater is enjoying a much-needed rest this week and is greatly missed from the company. Some of the well-known numibers- were- omitted from the opera. The song, “Young Agnes,” and the cavatina in the last act, “Proudly and Wildly,” it was hardly expected would be sung because they are essentially for a tenor voice, and Mr. Hawley could not be expected to cope.with thein; but there was no excuse for cutting out the duet between Lord and Lady Allcash in the first act, “I Don’t Object,” for it was within the range of the voices of Miss D'Armon and Mr. Carter. A word should be said of the good wcrk of the orchestra, which Director Towle had under good control. Through Sleeper Washington to Buf- falo via B. and 0.
