The harvest festival at the Tenleytown Baptist Church Sunday evening is under- stood to have been quite successful. In rv and | honor of the occasion the church was pret- tily and tastefully decorated with flowers, autumn leaves, corn and grain, while do> nations of fruits, vegetables and groceries Were piled up on the platform for the Aged Women’s Baptist Hom2 in Georgetown.

Mary Rider, who lives near 19th and R streets, and had a badly discolored eye, was a priscner in the Police Court this morning on a charge of having disturbed the peace of the neighborhood in which she lives. “I am not guilty of such a charge,” was her answer, when arraign2d. Policeman High told of the trouble he had with the woman last night when he arrested her for being noisy on the street. This woraan is a disgrace to the entire neighborhood.” testified John W “She Was in came to my house last night loo! for her husband and broke my door. Be- sides this, she tried to disgrace my whole honse."” her husband witness was asked. “No. sir,” answered Walsh, “but he had en in there earlier in the day you ever know of his beating her? sir; but I've seen her beat hi in the house?” the b j Her husband has been a resident of that neighborhood for thirty or forty years, and he never had any trouble until he met this woman.” Another witness gave similar testimony and all agreed that she was under the { fluence of liquor last evening. “Judge, your honor, I was not drunk,” said the woman. “I will admit that when my temper gets the best of me I'm worse than drunk.” “What ts the cause of your trouble?” the judge asked. “Well, your honor,” she answesod, “my husband beats me, and I nad to enter a sult for divorce. He promised to do better and I withdrew the case.” “But why do you go after ‘iim {f he ‘s the man you say he ts?” “Because I have no other protection.” “I don’t understand that kind cf pro- tection,” was the response. Mrs. Rider said her nusband injured her sterday morning hef: she got out of bed. She was married, she said, just one year ago, and her husband has beaten her ta dozen times. Once, she said, she had him arrested and ‘ined. Upon a promise that she would be more circumspect in her conduct in the future the court took her personal bonds. — SPECIAL MEETING CALLED.

NEW NATIONAL THEATER—One of the jolliest little farces that Washington has had the opportunity of seeing in a long time is “Because She Loved Him So,” pre- sented at the New National Theater last night by a cast whose members more than made up In merit for what they may have lacked in fame. It is a translation from the French, but it justifies none of the fore- bodings which this announcement might arouse. Piquant and ingentous to the high- est degree, there is not an unwholesome idea in it. Despite the fact that one or two of the scenes are permitted to™become pro- tractedly conversational, the preponderance of honest fun, lovable character delineation and briskness of action is overwhelming. The few arid expanses of explanatory talk are wholly inconsequential when the lux- uriance of comedy to which they lead is re- membered, The story has to do with a young wife who has insisted on having jealous quarrels with her husband, not for any reasons of real significance, but ‘because she loved him so.” Her father and mother resolve to show them how such scenes look and dis- turb their own thirty years of placid domes- tic life by a condition of mimic matrimonial siege. The young wife's brother is to mar- ry the daughter of a clergyman who has a horror of all disquiet, and the lad’s hopes are being continually blighted because he always tries to introduce his prospective father-in-law to his family just at a mo- ment when their quarrels, genuine or coun- terfeit, are raging most fiercely. The com- plications are deftly handJed, and when an evening's entertainment has been accom- plished the tangled ends are brought to- gether and the story is cut short without any attempt to invent an artistic denoue- ment. There are no unsuccessful attempts of any kind in the piece. The dialogue is held down to the level of the plain people who are supposed to be talking, and the interest depends on the situations and the fidelity to human nature with which the actors perform their parts. In discussing the company there {s a temptation to take at random the name of one who had a speaking part, add an unqualified phrase of admiring approval and then use ditto marks for the remainder of the cast. J. E. Dod- son as the old gentleman who consents, in the hope of restoring his daughter's happi- ness, to engage in sham warfare at home was lifelike and lovable, and Miss Ida Con- quest was tempestuously charming as the young wife. Edwin Arden and Arnold Daly were animated and interesting without be- ing at all unnatural, while Miss Kate Meek was as gentle and amiable a dear old lady as ever gave the lie to the mother-in-law joke. Leonora Braham contributed a good character sketch as a Spanish lady, and Bijou Fernandez made the servant not the least entertaining member of the family circle where she so successfully assumed to domin-er. An interesting feature of the per- formance was the debut of Miss Edythe Skerrett of this city, daughter of the late Admiral Skerrett. She did the very little h fell to her share in a manner which pised favorably for her future. “Be- e She Loved Him So” is in every way of the most satisfactory and merito comedy productions that recent tim have developed. THE COLUMBIA THEATER—An audi- ence that filled every seat and caused standing room to be at a premium on all three floors of the Columbia Theater last night and four curtain calls attested Frank s popularity as a comic opera star. the pretty and tuneful opera, “The Wizard of the had something to do with drawing the crowd, but Daniel's personality was the chief attraction. “The Wizard” is so well known in Washingtoa that it needs but passing notice. It was mounted with that same care with regard to the costumes and scenery that charac- terizes all of Daniels’ productions, while its music, always tuneful and ever nov and pleasing, struck the same responsive chord in those who heard it that it has in- spired in past years. Aside from the fact that Victor Herbert pays rather more tention to the score as written for the or- chestra than to the effort to suit his music to the voice It 1s one of the most satisfying comic operas that is being produced today, and it will doubtless stand many more pro- ductions before {ts course is run. The co: pany presenting “The Wizard of the Nil Was the same that has been seen here be- fore, with the exception of John B. Park in the ‘baritone role and Kate Uart as the Queen of Egypt. Both of them made good impressions, and will doubtless strengthe: them in their parts in “The Idol's Eye,” be produced by this company later in the week, Alf C. Wheelan as the ruler of ail the Egyptians was the same funny, erratic monarch as of yore, and made the most out of the opportunities given him foi n Will Danforth has not so good a part as he has in “The Idol's Eye,” but h makes the best of his epportunitie sings his opening song in splendid styl Helen Redmond a beautiful stag ence, and in the to. Cleopatra she more than pleasing, both with regard to appearance and in the matter of voice. Her solo in the last act was received with emphatic applause. Indeed, the encores that were demanded to nearly all of the principal numbers in the opera strung out the performance until a late hour, but the Frank Daniels was there, and noone tired of his quaint comi and humoro ways. Norma Kopp made a pretty and ef- fective stant to Kibosh, the “Wiz,” al- though she is not given the opportunity to show off that she has in * ‘The remainder of the com The Idol's Eye is eminently satisfactory in the smaller parts, while the chorus is one of the best that has been heard here in some time. The concerted numbers were given with a spirit and dash that added not a little to their effective- ness, while the choral effects, given with- out the aid of the orchestra at various times, could hardly be improved. And here should be mentioned the excellent orches- tra that rounds out the production and makes it a complete success. Its work was at all ti up to the highest standard. And then the “Wiz.” Frank Daniels is to many minds at the head of the list of the comedians of the day. He does not rely on acrobatic agility for his success, and there ig not at any time the slightest evidence of a strain for effect. Indeed, his apparent naturalness is one of his most attractiv: qualities as a comedian, and some of his best situations are those produced mere by a facial expression and some common. place phrase uttered as only can. so swiftly secure the entire good- wiil of his audience; in fact, he seems to take his auditers into his confidence and talk to and act to each one individually. And in this trait, perhaps, Hes his great measure of success. For he is a suec and will always be one in whatever he ap- pears. “The Wizard of the Nile” will he reproduced tonight, tomorrow night and at the Saturday matinee, while Daniels’ other success, “The s Eye,” fully as tuneful and as elaboi mounted and umed as is the Will be produced Tiurs- day, Friday und Saturday evenings, LAFAY —Who ha RE OPERA HOU \ n The Old Homestead?

The company supporting Mr. Thompson remains nearly ihe same as when he was last seen here. Miss Annie Thompson plays Rickety Ann, and Mrs. Louisa Morse is th prim Aunt Matilda to the life. Misses Ma F. Sherwood, Celia Baker, Ella Itiner, Marie Kimball and Bertha Mason are pieas. ing in minor roles. Will M. Cressy’s Cy Prime is a character creation only a trifle below that of “Den Thompson's work in humorous quality. His yarns, to be proved ‘ef Bill Jones was alive.” ‘are effective mirth-makers, and his 10-be-continued-in- our-next courtship of Aunt Matilda is lu- dicrously real. Fred Clare makes Happy Jack a man to be loved and pitied from the beginning. Few have the magnetism and personal quality of this actor, and his mod- eration only serves to make them more ap- parent. John Barker is too large a man to play Eb Ganzy, nevertheless he does it well: the whistling, bone-ratuing farmhand 1s clearly before the auditor. Hal. E. Paine was pleasing as Reuben Whitcomb. Others deservirg spectal mention were Gus Kam- merlee, R. E. Rogers, L. H. Croxson, Ste- phen Baker, Dan Regan, Geo. L. Patch and Chas. H. Clark. 5 The double quartet gave a number of old- time songs in a way to warrant numerous hearty encores. The scenery was very good jend the presentation lacks nothing—not even real drinking water—to make it lifelike and heart-stirring. Two matinees will be given. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—“My Friend From India” furnished pleasing entertain- ment for a large audfence at the Academy last night. The play comes back to the Washington theater-going public as an old friend, having paid several visits here be- fore. The reception accorded it last night showed that its popularity had not suf- fered from more intimate acquaintance. The play is not intended to point any dcubtful moral; its sole purpose is to pro- vide the subject for a hearty laugh, and it succeeds. The plot is a good one for a comedy. The “friend” is merely a barber of poetic temperament, who reads the “Light of Asia’’ when he is not eas faces. The barber one night falls in wit! the son of a rich Kansas City packer, who abandoned pig sticking at his former home and is engaged in a futile effort to break into swell New Yorle-soctety. The son, after an unusually wild night of it, takes the peetic barber home with him. To account for the presence of the remarkable strang- er at his father’s house next morning he conceives the idea of introducing him as a friend from India, a distinguished Buddhist scholar with many eccentricities. He meets the father, who, instead of kicking him out of the house, takes a sudden fancy to him and determines to make him a society fad. From impecunious barber to high salaried pet of society is the jump which furnishes the many amusing situations in the play. The company, under the management of Smyth & Rice, is a good one. George Mack, as the theosophical barber; Charles H. Bradshaw, as the pork packer; Ernest Warde, as the packer’s son, and Thomas Dodd, as the policeman, are all good. Miss Ethel Strickland gives an intelligent presentation of the character of: Marion Hayste, the New York society girl; Miss Ada Gilman was an exceptionally good German maid, and Misses Mabel Strickland and Madge Otis do the part of daughters of the pork packer in satisfactory style. “My Friend From India” will be the attraction for the remainder of the week. KERNAN'S LYCEUM THEATER—The performance of the Bohemian Burlesquers at Kernan's this week {s in many respects the best entertamment presented at this house during the season. In both the olio and comedy, which takes the place of the afterpiece, there is genuine merit, and best of all there is no necessity to resort to vulgarisms to entertain the morbid. Fisher and Jansen started the show with an orig- inal acrobatic sketch, and after an cncore made way for Myrtle Tresstder, who sang in her own dainty style a number of catchy songs. Saxon and Brooks in their refined operatic comedy sketch were justly ap- preciated. Their act {s artistic and finished. Evans and Vidocq assaulted each other with witticisms, and Van and Nobriga handed out a new and entertaining sketch, in which a quartet of black kids figured. Tommy Burnett, with his illustrated songs, well received. This concluded the vau- deville part of the program. Although styled a comedy, “A Scrambled Egg” is really a first-rate farce comedy, with pret- ty girls, funny comedians and bright music. s “The Bunch of Keys” somewhat, and is equally as good. Billy Van demon- strates his capabillties as a comedian and keeps his audience constantly convulsed. The comedy 1s founded on a visiting theat- rical troupe at a country hotel. Being burned out of a theater, the company gives the performance at the hostelry. There is ample opportunity for fun, and not a chance is lost. Tonight the full election returns will be read from the stage. HANFORD.—Charles B. Har nown Washington actor, will be the attraction at the Columbia The- ater next week. Mr. Hanford is now re- garded as one of the most brilliant Shakes- rean actors of the ds i loubt the t reader of blank verse on the American stage: He will be seen in a repertoire of legitimate and classical pla including “Othello,”! “Julius Caesar,” ‘Th Merchant of Venice," “Damon and Pyth- i “Virginius’ and “Ingomar.” It is promised that each-piay will be elegantly staged and elaborately costumed. The com- pany In suppert is made up of some of the best-known exponents of the classizal dra ma in this country. Among them are Mar Drofuah, Mary Imibermann, John A. Ells- jer, Frank Hennig, Lawrence Lowell, John Milton, George Morton, Paul G. Saytor, Richard Buhler and James Young. WARGRAPH.—The new moving pictures at the Wargraph, next entrance of Colum- bia ‘Dheater, give a fe view of “The Hoist- ing of the American Flag on the Fortress at Much enthusiasm 1s awakened by “The Drilling of Troops at Camp r’ also produces deep interest. The seventh week of the Wargraph exhibitions opened last evening. Excellent views of the sirring scenes in Cuba continue to receive ereat interest. There is much favor shown “The Triumphal Reception of the Oregon at New York.” Portrait pictures of Gens. Miles, Shafter, Admiral Dewey, etc., add in- terest to the attractive program. Noted scenes of battlefield and camp complete a orious exhibition CHAS. B. ford, the well DR. HERB He Replies to His Wife’s Petition for Alimony. In the divorce proceedings instituted re- tly by Juliet Herbert against Dr. Jame W. Herbert, the defendant today made an- swer to the rule to show cause why he should not y his wife alimony at the rate of $70 a month. Dr. Herbert states t his income is uncertain, and averages only me-half the amount the complainant say he earns, His practice and income, says Dr. Herbert, have been steadily decreasin for the last three or four years, In conse- quence of slanders and false reports circu- luted by his wife. The defendant, continuing, explains that he has regularly paid his wife $45 a month, besides furnishing a house for her and the two children who remain with her. Pour children, according to Dr. Herbert, e dependent upon him for support, two being with thelr mother. He expresses a ‘Mingness to take one of those two, leav- ing only one for the complainant to pro- vide for out of the sum allowed her. Judge Cox signed an order providing for the payment of alimony at the rate or ¢ 1 month. Attorney W. Preston W a ears for Mrs. Herbert. — Gude's Chrysanthemum Show. Once each year, when chrysamthemums reign in the floral world, A. Gude & Bro. give a flower show at their spacious store, 4 F street northwest. With an addl- tional space of 3,200 square feet the firm has now an opportunity of displaying Its best efforts as growers of chrysanthemums, and the results this year exceed anything ever attempted. Conspicuous among the many varieties ure the George W. Childs and the Georgianna Fletcher. Both varie- Ues this year are finer than ever. The show will continue throughout the week, during which time the plants and flowers’ will be ut in price. In the rear of the building a eenhoure has been erected, and this ‘aly teeming with flowers. = Appeals for a Separation. Proceedings for divorce were today irsti- tuted by Hannah J. Dustin against James 8. Dustin. The couple were married April 11, 1892, and lived together until July + last, when, Mrs. Btusuin declares, she was compelled to leavesher husband by reason of cruelty that had-been exercised by him. !mproper conduct, in a moral sense, is fu: ther charged againstcthe defendant.

The first meeting of the winter season of the Columbia Historical Seciety was held last evening in the banquet hall of the Shoreham. Mr. John A. Kasson, the presi- dent, was in the chair, and it was an- nounced that the committee on publication Was soon to issue the second volume of the proceedings of the society. Unlike the first volume, it was said, it will not be pub- Ushed in parts, but as a whole, making a book of several hundred pages, which will be distributed to the members of the so- ciety. It was also announced that Mr. Frederick L. Moore, Mrs. Virginia C. Moore, Mr. Henry L. West and Miss Powell had been elected to membership in the society. The president stated that since the last meeting of the society a room had been secured in a fireproof building, where the books, pamphlets, pictures and other prop- erty of historic interest, donated to the so- ciety from time to time, are now kept. ‘Two papers of local interest were read, and those who constituted tne large audi- INFORMATION FURNISHED. District Commixsioners to Secreta’ of Society of Arts, London. Mr. H. T. Wood, secretary of the Society of Arts of London England, recently wrote the District Commissioners to the effect that Sir John Wolfe Barry, chairman of the council of Society of Arts, wished cer- tain information, to be used in an addres: he desired to make before the society. In replying to the communication the Commis- sioners have written Mr. Wood as follows: “1. The number of vehicles which passed at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street, one of the most frequented points of the city, during the twenty-four hours from 12 o'clock noon November 5 to 12 o'clock noon November 6, 1898, was 9,726; the number of passengers in such vehicles was 16.848. The average daily number of passen- ae carried by the street railways is 143,, “3. The means of communication are by street railways (electric and cable) and by public and private cabs, hacks and car- riages. The fere for one adult passenger in the street cars, with the privilege of trans- fer, 1s about four and one-third cents. In ence, mainly those who have resided in /geference to cab hire, is sent you schedule of this city for a number of years past, were appreciative listeners. Mrs. Jeannie Tree Rives had a paper on “Old-time Places and People in Wasaing- ton,"" which was read by the secretary of the society, Mrs. Mary Stevens Beall. It comprised reminiscences of people and buildings of the past. There was an in- teresting description of the garden «bout the residence of the famous Peter Force, which occupied the ground on which the gas office building {s now located. Refer- ence was also made to the residenco of Hudson Taylor, at the northeast corner of 9th and D streets; to the old slave pen farther to the north on 9th street and to the school of Mr. McLeod, in the house on 9th street now occupied by Mr. William Galt. Above the door of the scnool room was the Inscription, “Order is heaven's first law;” and the sessions began at 6 a.m. and ended at 5 p.m. Mrs. Rives also spoke of the Misses Ty- son's school on F street between 12th and 18th streets, and told in an interesting way of the family of the late Dr. Joseph Bur- rows. Following this paper was one by Dr. 8. C. Busey, on daguerreotypy in this city, in which he traced the early beginnings of the practice of the art jere, where, he stated, the methods were improved. He said that, as far as known, the first gallery for taking pictures of this kind was opened here about the year 1843. He gave many details about the gallery of Plumbe, which was the first one opened in the city and was located on the second story of a puild- ing adjoining the Indiaa Queen Hotel, now a part of the Metropolitan Hotel. Letters Were read from Messrs. 8. R. Seihert and S. C.

Anglers are taking advantage of the short time remaining ere the water gets too cold to pursue their cherished pastime, and many parties have been enjoying excellent Sport up the Potomac. Reports indicate an unusual profusion of game bass, and at Woodmont and other points, high up to- ward the headwaters of the stream, some fine catches have been made. At the Woodmont Club Sunday Mr. Ross Thompson and Messrs. W. S. Thompson, senlor and junior, had rare good luck. They caught forty-three, all good ones, and the toppers were re- markably large. Eight of them weighed twenty-seven pounds, an average of three pounds six ounces each, and two of these weighed four and a quarter pounds each and one four pounds. The two biggest were caught by Mr. Ross Thompson. The catch a’ ually dis- proved the theory s alent among local anglers that bass will not bite when an east wind is blowing, as all the fish were captured when the wind was blowing very strongly from that quarter. Duke Farrell and Tom Brown, the base ball players, went up to the mouth of the Monocacy yesterday evening and are fish- ing in the vicinity of Red Rock today. While the anglers are having such good sport, hunters are equally fortunate. Big bags of quail are reported in all directions. Saturday and Mr. D. William Oyster got thirty-five quail last Wednesday on one farm, near Lees- burg, Va. Messrs. Sadie Houck and E Langvoight killed thirty seven, respectively, up near Senecs they hunted together last Thursday. ima Meeting of Rechabiten. The meeting of Cam thirty where k Tent, No. 56, I.
