AMUSEMENTS, “DIPLOMACY.”—The performances of “Diplomacy” at the Columbia Theater are increasing in interest every night, due to the excellent acting of the splendid com- pany which Messrs. Mordaunt and Block have brought to this city. The play is one of the best of Sardou’s works and each character is given a faithful and artistic interpretation. Never has there been seen a better Baron Stein than Frank Mordaunt, and the parts of Henry Beauclere and Countess Zicka have rarely been more in- telligently and forcefully presented than as given by Mr. Edgar Davenport and Miss Mary Shaw. At the matinee today thére were many professiona!s in the audience, who were emphatic in their praise of the company’s work. “HOTEL TOPSY TURVY.”—Mr. T.

Appeal to the €hurches for Observ- ance of “Temperance Sunday”— A Change; in Date. The Anti-Saloon: League of the District of Columbia has igsued a circular letter to the pastors of this District recommending the observance of the third Sunday in Oc- tober as “Temperance Sunday. Two years ago a call originated with the London Sunday School Union for the ob- servance of the fourth Sunday in November annually as the world’s temperance Sun- day. The suggestion was indorsed by the highest bodies of several religious and tem- perance organizations, including the Anti Saloon League, and that day was observed to a large extent in 1896. Its observance, however, led, so President Ewin says, to objections to the date from many influen- tial sources. One of the object.ons was that the date was not suitable for general ob- servance in this country because it follows instead of preceding, as it should, the an- nual elections in the states and the begin- ning of the license year in this District. Accordingly, in 1897 the Anti-Saloon League recommended the observance of the third Sunday in October as temperance Sunday. The recommendation was quite largely adopted throughout the District. The Star of the succeeding Jay published a sympos- ium made up of exiracts from the sermons of leading clergymen of ten denominations. This year the arrangements on behalf of the Anti-Saloon League are in charge of a committee composed of the president, Jas. L. Ewin; the vice presidents, Mr. A. N. Canfield, Mrs. Clinton Smith and Mr. A. L. Swartwout, and the secretaries, Mr. Jesse C. Suter and Mrs. Martha B. Hamlin. Letter to Pastors. This committee last night issued the fol- lowing circular letter: “To the Pastors of the District of Colum- bia: “Greeting: Your favorable attention and co-operation {s again requested with refer- ence to the annual observance of one and the same day throughout this District as “Temperance Sunday.’ <@)) young people may be kept from the begin- nings of the perilous drink habit; that those who profess to be ‘followers of God’ may be freed from all complicity in the crime of drunkard-making; that those who are already the victims of intemperance may be reclaimed; and, especially, that we as a community may have grace, wisdom and power from on high to do all that can be done to close the places of temptation to indulgence in intoxicating drinks in our midst; with like blessings throughout our Jand and the world. “(2) For sermons and exhortations in agi- tation of the question of personal responsi- bility for the drink evil of our time, the promulgation of the attitude of the church with reference to the drink habit and the drink traffic, and generally in furtherance of the temperance reform. (3) For offerings in support of the local or denominational temperance work of the individual church, or, it may be, that of our Anti-Saloon League, as the representa- tive not only of its 108 affliated churches, temperance societies and other anti-saloon bodies, but of the community at large. in aggressive opposition to the Nquor traffic. ‘The Anti-Saloon League of the District of Columbia earnestly requests you to ob- occasion Sun the 16th of this belng the third Sunday nd coming immediately before November 1, of another ‘li- ar’ ‘with its possibility of an ad- in soberness and righteousness in community. “You are also requested to announce to your people, or to bring to their attention in your usual way, that the third anti- saloon revival under the auspices of our gue will follow immediately after tem- perance Sunday. the evenings of October 17-28, with an address by Lou. J. Beau- champ of Ohio h evening, and to urge that conflicting engagements be avoided; and you are personally invited to attend any of the meetings of this league to fa- miliarize yourself with its workings.”” Personal Appeals. Cardinal Gibbons has been personally ap- pealed to in behalf of the observance of the day by the Roman Catholic churches and Bishop Satterlee has been approached in ike manner with reference to its ob- servance by the Protestant Episcopal churches, as The Star is informed by Pres!- dent Ewin. Replies have not yet been re- ceived from either of these dignitaries, but it is believed they will join in the observ- ance of the day suggested, in common with other denominations. seo CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS. in the opening, Reception at Wesley Chapel to Mem- bers Who Were in the Army. ‘The young men of Wesley Chapel who went into the army will be given a recep- tion next Monday evenirg at 7:30 o'clock at the church, F and 5th streets north- west.

Special Correspondence of The Evening HYATTSVILLE, M4., September 1898. Subject to a call a number of prominent democrats met last evening at the Pan- tric House in Bladensburg to elect officers for the Bladensburg Democratic Club of that plece for the ensuing year. Mr. Benjamin Stevens was unanimously elected president, and Messis. Joseph’ H. Terrel, Andrew Lynch, Hampton Hickey and John Johnson were chosen as vice presidents. Mr. W. Brooke Hunter was re-elected sec- retary and ‘treasurer. In accepting the presidency of the club Mr. Stevens urged the adoption of the Chi- cago platform, demanding free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. A registration committee was appointed to look after the club's interests and to no- tify and bring delinquent democrats in for registration October 4 and 11, That com- mittee was composed ef the following gen- tlemen: Messrs.

After the meeting adjourned the club in a body called on President Doc Garges of the Young Men's Democratic Club in Bladensburg, the members expressing their gratification at the success he was meet- ing with and pledging co-operation with him in ary movement that will tend to the success of the democratic party. —__—_ Dies In the Line of Duty. The death of Walter E. Devaughn yes- terday morning was a particularly sad one. ‘The deceased was a trusted employe of the Independent Ice Company for a number of years, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He retired at his usual hour Tuesday night and was awakened by the alarm of fire at Carter & Clarke's mill, at the 10th street wharf. Believing the .property of his company was in danger, he immediately went to offer his aseistance. While pening: to fight the flames he was seen to fall, an by the time a physician was procured life was extinct." He was removed to the morgue, and the coroner gave a certificate stating that death was caused by heart failure, superinduced by his violent exer- tions. Mr. Devaughn left a widow and three small children. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 8:80 o'clock, under the auspices of Harmony Lodge No. 21, Knights of Pythias, of which he was a member. tar. 22 For simultaneous prayer that our’ CASE OF JOHN ANDERSON. Appeal to Higher Court Under Writ of Habeas Corpus. Attorney Hugh G. Miller of Norfolk, Va., arrived in the city this morning and Is stopping at the Shoreham. Mr. Miller is here looking after the legal status of the habeas corpus proceedings sued out by himself and Mr. P. J. Morris, his associate in tha case, which saved temporarily the life of John Anderson, the Swede, who was convicted of the murder of the captain and mate of the schooner Olive Pecker, and was to have been executed at Norfolk sev- eral weeks ago. The Anderson trial was a long and notable legal battle. Having been tried be- fore Judges Goff and Hughes in the United States circuit court, sitting at Norfolk, and afterward heard in the Supreme Court of the United States on a writ of error with- out avail, it was supposed even by the ablest lawyers that every possible question had been exhausted and that Anderson Must hang on the 26th of August. But cn the very day set for the execution of the doomed man Mr. Miller and Mr. Morris, who h24 represented the five other mem- bers of the crew of the Olive Pecker who were not convicted, and who, though denied permission by the court to represent Ander- son, had watched his trial closely, stepped in, and, by raising a new constitutional question affecting the whole trial, succetd- ed in getting a stay of execution and an- other appeal to the highest court in the land. This proceeding was as thrilling and dramatic, probably, as has attended any case ever tried in this country, the stay be- ing erdered only a few moments before the drop was to fall. The Anderson case has awakened natlon- al interest. It is unusual in that the man charged with the deliberate murder of two persons on the high seas has the sympathy of every one in Norfolk, where he was tried and has been confined since being brought to this country on a United States man-of-war. Every person in tne Virginia city is anxious to prevent his execution, be- Meving that he does not deserve the death sentence. This is due largely to what been learned by the public since his trial of the terrible brutality of the captain of the ship—the man killed—the generai belief now being that, driven to frenzy through fear and excitement, amounting to tem- porary insanity, Anderson killed the mate, who had told him that he would be killed anyhow when he appealed to him for pr tection from the captain, and also to the strong belief that the other five members of the crew have been making Anderson a Scapegoat in order to clear themselves. Nearly all the ministers and influential cit zens of Norfolk have interested themselves in the e: and are earnest in their efforts to prevent the hanging. And mis a slight, delicate man, who has the appearance of a gentleman in spite of the rough toggery of the se Accord- ing to the witnesses who appeared against him, he killed the two burly officers of the ship, ore right after the other, and, with two cmoking pistols in his hands, shoved the bodies overboard and set fire to the ship. Single-handed he is supposed to have done all this, while the crew stood ldly Db: Mr. Miller was at the Supreme Court clerk's office and the Department of Ju: tice today conferring with Attorney Gen- eral Griggs, perfecting Anderson's appeal and getting the case on the Supreme Court locket. So great is the sympathy for Anderson that 1 large popular subscription has been secured for his defense. a EASTERN STAR. Distinguished Guests Present at the Meeting at Brightwooa. There was a lurge gathering of members of the Order of Eastern Star at Brightwood Tuesday evening, at which the chief digni- taries of the Disirict of Columbia, as well as the most grand worthy matron and most grand worthy secretary of the order in the United States were present. The Eastern Star differs from masonary, in that it has a supreme national organization, whereas Masonic orders in the different states are entirely independent of one another, though there Is a growing feeling that, like the Knights Templar, they should be brought under one supreme head. The most worthy grand matron is Mary E. Partridge and the most worthy grand secretary Mrs. J. Pitkin. Both addressed the meeting. They have traveled 3,500 miles within the last few weeks in the in- terest of the orver, which row has reached the number of 165,000. THl quite recently the grand chapter of the District of Co- lumbia has beea known as the “baby chap- ter” of the order, but cn September 14 a grand chapter organized in Wyoming which now bears that distinction. Worthy Grand Patron W. E. Nalley of the District of Columbia, and founder of the order, in this district, addressed the chapter on the growth of the order and its affiliation with masonry. Addresses were also delivered by Past Worthy Grand Pa- tron L. Cavell Williamson and Worthy Grand Matron Carolyn A. Handy.
