AMUSEMENTS. iw L THEAT: “When We Were Twenty-one’—there is a dream: dawdling cadence in the title which s smething of H. V. Esmond’s previous But the suggestion warranted. has all Mr. Esmond acy and refinement and with it a good, sturdy vein of sentiment which takes right hold of the heart and squeezed the tears from it. He who can see the devotion of Dick for the whom he is scapegr: has undertaken to rear, the heart-breaks which the boy causes and the final reconciliation, without shed- ding a surreptitious tear should get him to ulist. There is something amiss with ehrymal glands. And the love story little subordinate tale of a girl who gave her heart to a man who could not be- jieve his own good fortune—served to mi shine with the showers. Mr. Gone n has chosen to discard hi irels a ugbmaker and enroll himself among the cohorts of legitimate comedians. In this play he ay from the gestion t teh him: lest he mak. nee laugh too hi fly. He long since rea ized tion to make the public take him those who know him of old cannot ng of resentment that he rollicking first taught the people to w humor which it for him and to welcome him.

This was then considered the best thing in the show It continues so. After an absence of a week Mr. Daniels and his company have re- turned to this city and at the Columbia last evening opened a second engagement in “The Ameer.” The present engagement is, to all intents and purposes, a continuation of the first, and the comments, both as to the splendors of the production and its de- ficlencles, apply with equal force now. The members of the cast are the same and their parts are interpreted just as they were two weeks ago, when the company played to the extreme limit of attendance at each perform- ance. From a business standpoint the re- turn has already proved a good move. The house was well filled last evening, and the indications are that there will be few, if any, vacant seats at any time during the Week. Daniels has a firm hold on the Washington theatergoers. His slightest move causes laughter, and if people want to laugh and do laugh it fe not necessary to proceed with an analysts of the whys and wherefores. The audience last evening laughed heartily and applauded everything. Daniels has established himself as a reign- ing favorite, and it is Daniels and not the opera that the people go to see. And in addition to the chunky little laugh-winner they find scenery in limitless profusion and costumes of rainbow radiance with good- looking young women to wear them. NEW GRAND OPERA HOUSE—“The Girl With the Auburn Hair” was relied on tain territo as the big feature of this week's bill at the New Grand Opera House. Her novel act was not seen to advantage yesterday, al- though there was enough to demonstrate that she !s a songstress of more than usual attractions, and that the act, when finally in shape, will be a striking and beautiful biending of musical and pictorial effects. The program opened with a dog show, which, as usual, moved some people to ad- miration and others to sympathy for the dogs. It is purely a question of personal opinion; and in the District of Columbia these particular dogs have reason to be thankful that they are not compelled to Wear muzzies. De Haven and Maie are a little boy and a little girl, who ought to be at school. They have a sketch which 1s very mature in its style, and play it in a very juvenile manner. Their act is too long and becomes depressing. Lotta Gladstone is a good character comedy woman, and got a liberal share of laughs. “‘Solaret” re- peated her display of brilliant coloring and intricate draperies, and was one of the most interesting people on the bill. Cressy and Dayne gave a fine little pastoral com- edy sketch, Will Cressy being first class in his farmer characterization. Jack Nor- worth had a good sociable time with the audience, who took a Kking to bim from the time he raised his rough-and-ready tenor voice out in the wings, and who ap- plauded in a way which shows he improved on acguaintanc He has some’ new stories and some weil-selected old ones. But it was for “the girl with the auburn hair” that the audience had been waiting. It is plainly this act that represents the chief invest- ment in connection with the bill. And even with the disadvantages under which she labored, the grand old strains of the sacred classics rang out convincingly and clear, while there was impressed on the memory an earnest, beautiful face, with an aureole of golden hair that seemed to melt in to the frame of light so cunningly devised for it. Seen in its full possibilities, it should be a revelation of scenic ingenuity. At all events, it fs an opportunity to see one of the best advertised and most successful of all vaudeville atractions. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—After an ab- sence of over two years the elaborate scenic melodrama, entitled A Guilty Mother,” was presented at the Academy of Music last night to a large audience. The play tells the story of a young girl who married a nobleman, who, after being wedded to her a short time, deserted her. There ts also a subordinate story of a mother induced by a villain to leave her husband. and who later finds that she has been tricked. She seeks forgiveness, and her husband finally consents to take her back. Mr. Harry Driscole Was a good villain and received many hisses. Miss Adely Wesley played the part of the female accomplice. Miss Dorothy King. as “Gabrielle,” was very good, and Mi: May Wilkes, as the guilty mother, displayed talent. Mr. James K. MacCurdy played the part of “Jack Rut- land,” the detective, aided by Miss Mary Horne as “Shrimp,” the Wharf rat. Mr. Harold Shaw was good as Lord Cumher- jand. The other parts were taken by May Fasiet, Emile LaCroix and Gustav Wallace. KERNAN'S LYCEUM THEATER.—Matt Flynn’s Big Sensation Double Show is the attraotion at Kernan's Lyceum this week. Two large audiences witnessed the show yesterday and were pleased with the dash and go in the two burlesques and variety acts. The show is made up of white and colored performers, but the latter outclass the former in everything—singing, dancing and good looks. ‘The first burlesque, “Con- ology,” is a hodge-podge of nonsense, and its chief attraction !s the singing and danc- ing of the colored contingent. “The Queen of the Opium Palace” was of the usual order, the title being of more importance than the performers or scenery. Pretty girls and good singing and dancing kept the audiences well entertained. The oifo cannot be classed as strong. Josie Lecoy opened with songs and dances that went very well. Then came Adams and Kelley in a Dutch and Irish eccentric turn that pleased, Williams and Russell with thelr “fur ns." Farnum and Nelson proved the sof the y, thelr comedy acrobatic work being aw beve the aver- age in attractiven n and Keeler, the K Brothe: ta Gross wound up the ollo fn the order named and to good appreciation.

To the Eaitor of The Evening Star: In their testimony before the Senate com- mittee some of the public school trustees admit that the schools have not shown the best practical results in the elementary branches. Some of the trustees explain their smali amount of supervision as to the course of study by saying they are too busy with other affairs to give the schools sufficient attention. ‘Testimony on this sub- ject apy 5 in Senate report No. 711, dated March 100. It is hoped that in future persons appoint- ed as members of the board of education will not accept unless they are able and willing to give the necessary time to the schools. The Senate bill as amended provides that the members of the board shall be tax- payers and persons who have resided in the District for at least five years before appointment. Ten years’ residence would not be an ex- cessive requirement. Also it seems that the trustees should be owners of District real estate. The term “taxpayer” is vague and indefinite. Every consumer is a taxpayer. No one can escape internal revenue and other ferms of taxation. The owner of real estate has a more permanent stake in the community and he bears most of the bur- den of local taxation. T. W. G. —— Huyler’s Easter Gifts.

To the Editor of The Evening Start I approve most heartily of your sugges- tion that the school board should be “‘tax- payers,” but I do not see the propriety of adding the word “citizen,” for there are, — proper sense, no citizens of the Dis- trict. Under the first definition of the word citizen, as given in the dictionaries, we are citizens of the nation, because we owe allegiance to the national government, are entitled to its protection; but that 1s equal- ly true of all, whether permanent or tem- porary residents of the District. I there- fore suggest to amend by substituting the words “permanent restdents and taxpay- ers.” A DISFRANCHISED TAXPAYER, THE EVE OF CIVIL STRIFE ANNIVERSARY OF) AN EXCITING DAY IN WASHINGTON, Muster-In of District: Troops Thirty- Nine Years Ago for Defense of Capital. Thirty-nine years ago~Wednesday, April 10, 1861—was a day of intense excitement in ‘Washington, made so by the mustering into the service of the United States of the various companies of uniformed militia of the District and the volunteers, and the many stories, true and untrue, which were afloat, together with the guarded action of officers of the government. What it had been feared for months would happen—the outbreak of war—was now near at hand, the efforts of the peace congress and num- bers of the public men of the times to avert it having proved to be futile. The sentiment at the capital of the na- tion, naturally, was not wholly one way Neighborhoods, and even households, were divided, and to some the national colors bad become distasteful and many were wearing the insignia of their states. From Charleston had come the news that Major Anderson and his command in Charleston harbor had been shut up and were then threatened by batteries manned by state troops. Wild rumors were in circulation as to what was Intended to be done by the enemies of the Union. The Call for Troops. In this condition of affairs, with but a small body of regular troops, some of whom had participated in the Inauguration of Mr. Lincoln over a month before, to depend upon, Mr. Lincoin called for volunteers from among the volunteer companies of the District to protect the capital. Gen. Peter Bacon, whose funeral took place today, ‘as then the brigadier general of the Di trict troops, and throngh him Co!. Charle: P. Stone, the inspector general, had notified the companies to appear for inspection the evening of the 9th. Subsequently orders were given to report the foliowing day. Consequently the 10th of April was a busy one, the various armories were scenes of activity, and while for political and family reasons many declined to obey, in the large majority of the companies there was not one who asked to be excused. The company drafted from the Light In- fantry, Capt. Lem. Towers. and Company A, Union Regiment, Capt. Carrington com- manding, led the way to the War Depart- ment, and these were quickly followed by other companies, some in their eagerness going up on a double-quick, the Infantry, National Guard, Washington Rifles, Com- panies A and B, Carrington Home Guard of Georgetown, and Potomac Light Infan- try reporting in quick succession. Here Major McDowell, afterward general, in- spected the companies, and the oath’ was administered by Gen. George H. Thomas, then an officer of militia and a notary pub- lic in the department. Arrival of Reinforcement: Other troops, regulars and state, arriving the muster of District troops, closed later in the month, and the forces organized were at once put into service guarding the public buildings, roads and wharves, and some of them putting in the most ef their me up the Potomac. The term of enlistment was for ninety da: and the understanding was that the service was to be In the Dist + but it was construed: that the purpose was the protection of the District, and but little question was raised when the District line Was crossed In the up-river campaign.

Grosvenor of Amherst College will lecture this afternoon before the National Geographic Society on “The Growth wf Russia." Mr. Grosvenor will trace the early development of the Slavs, their long endurance and final overthrow of the Tartar yoke, and then describe their gradual expansion into a nation. He will, however, especially deal with the remark- able growth of Russia during the last fifty years, and explain the natural causes of this phenomenal expansion, which ts paral- leled only by that of the United States. The future of Russia in Asia will also be dis- cussed. The lecture is the last in course on ‘The Growth of Nations” offered during Lent by the National Geographic Society. It will be given in Columbia Theater at 4:20 p.m. ———— Holy Week Observance. Services will be held each evening of this week in the chapel of the Church of the Covenant.

On this site will be erected by the owner of the property, Mr. Joseph~E. Willard, a modern office building, which she has leased to the new trust company. The property has been in the possession of the Willard family for the past forty years, and prior to that time it was owned by what was then known as the congregation of the F Street Presbyterian Church. It was erected by that congrega- ton about eighty years ago, and was oc- cupied for church purpeses until the con- gregation united with the one that occupied a building on the site of the present New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. The F street building was then sold to the Wil- lards, who cwend Willard’s Hotel.
