At the weekly meeting of the Central La- bor Union, held last evening at Typograph- ical Temple, delegates representing thirty- six unions were present. a The leg! tive committee submitted the draft of a bill “to authorize the appointment of additional assistant inspectors of build- ings In the District of Columbia,” which was indorsed.

Necexsities Pointed Out. The letter, which {fs attested by President H. W. Szegedy and Secretary Jno. H. Brink- man, is as follows: “On behalf of the Central Labor Union of the District of Columbia, the inclosed draft of a bill which provides for the appoint- ment of three additional assistant building i s submitted to you for consid- The measur? fs unanimously in- by the efficient and experienced building tradesmen of this city.

His new play, “Lord Byron,” which opened a@ Week's engagement at the Columbia The- ater last night, Is a bold stroke on Mr. Young's part. By portraying a charact upon which the eyes of the cultured world are turned he cannot fail to compel earnest tention to himself. He has filehed the bar poetic fire and d it,as a caletum ight for his own dramatic purposes. And nds out in its full glare and com- ention from the literary student, reader, the romantic lass—in ill who have admired Byron's i with his misfortunes and his awa nts who hold a blograph inspiring touch of the dram- y a bit of folk who belie folk from He the tris studies of terie ch ctors who, by long servic pular demand, and persistent » gallery gods, have earned right to indulge themselves fn some tn- ecidental intelectual luxurfe Often these bits of literature turn out to be enormous popular successes. But box office tradition is against them, and it takes rare courage to stand forward and try to stem the tide of clap-trap. It is this sort of courage which, in addi- tion to its intrinsic scholarly interest, make Mr. Young's production of “Lord Byron” noteworthy. Miss Rida Louise Johnson, who wrote the play, has approach- ed her theme with studious caution and literary dignity. There are details of plot mechanism which research would no doubt fail to verify, but the character of Byron is developed with a directness and a disdain of apology which in its very spirit reflects the temperament of the mad cap original. He comes before the footlights with all his mora! imperfections bluntly confessed, ask- ing the public only what superior mental force can compel and with scarce the com- mon grace of chivalry to give his affairs of heart the dignity of romance. Yet, like Richard HI, he makes conquest where he should be despised, and by intellect and the ardor of ambition’ compels adoration such and sterday ot full.

Rawlings, 1505 Pa. a’ —Advertisement. as virtue never could have won. This Is the Byron that history accepts, and this is the Byron whom Miss Johnson has portrayed. ‘The audience is called upon to scrutinize the character as a human probability, and not ax a h2ro whose faults a chari ction has sought to palliate. The responsibility -of sustaining interest In a character whose traits do not invite con- ventional sympathy fs one of the most diffi- cult that a theatric artist can assume. And so scant has been the concessions to de- mands for stagy climaxes that Mr. Young is loft almost unaided by the customary artifices of plot in holding the interest of a the auditorlum. It is the study of Byron that commands interest, and the minor characters revolve about the title role as satellites to a planet, and not as assembled stars in a const2llation. There are some spirited incidents in the action; but it is upon the inborn desire which human nature universally shares to know something of the personality of genius, upon which the play must depend for its interest and its applause. Mr. Young realized the chatac- ter handsomely as a physical portrait and impressively as a psychological study. In the last act he did some especially good acung. To announce a play whose poetic diction fully reflected the temperament of its sub- ject, together with an impersonation which reflected all the subtleties of the Byronic temperament, would be to proclaim a double miracle; and the age of miracles is past. But the author and the star have in this play the advantage of exploiting a field that is distinctly their own, and of claiming without delay that scholarly considezation which is customarily withheld from both actor and playwright until after they have served decades of apprenticeship. The ap- plause of the audience Jast night showed that it was not disposed to measure the pro- duction solely by such degrees as it might fall below that standard which exists only as a word “perfection.” There was much commendation for the work of Miss John- son as the Countess Varjoll, and after the third act, the most spirited in the play, though not so good ag the last in acting op- portunities for the star, a curtain speech was demanded. It is an earnest, sincere, artistic enterprise, defiantly unique—in short, Byronle. LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. ~The many encores that greeted the ‘Three Little Lambs’ at the Lafayette Square Opera House last night conclusively demon- strated that a meritorious presentation can be given in Washington for two weeks with credit to the company and box office receipts that will satisfy all parties con- cerned. About six weeks ago the ‘Three Little Lambs" gamboled at the Lafayette most successfully and last night the play Started on a return engagement of a week's duration before an audience that complete- ly filled the house. While there have been but two changes in the company, Miss Clara Palmer replacing Adele Ritchie, and Mr. Caste, being new as the bank watch- man, the action has been brightened up through the cleverness of the principals and the two defections have not hurt the piece at all. Raymond Hitchcock has en- larged his part to such an extent that he now more than shares honors with clever Marie Cahill, his burlesque of Henry Irving being a treat. Hitchcock works along en- tirely original lines, his humor being of the dry but penetrating kind. Marle Cahill de- serves a short scolding for slurring her part in the burlesque on ‘Becky Sharp,,”’ but this Was her only lapse during the evening. Her entertaining capabilities are great This bright girl hes played this part long that it is only natural that she sho: become careless at times. Nellie Braggi . Lawrence, William T. Carleton and William Philp were as entertaining as usual, while the remainder of the company Was up to the high standard set upon the previous presentation. Miss Clara Palmer, who assumed the digniticd role of soprano of the company, Jacks the vocal abllitles of Mi Ritchie, but far outshines the latter lady when acting capabilities are consid- ered. Miss Palmer sang “The Man Behind the Gun” with much better effect than Miss itchie, and in the added number, the “Dra: fc Patrol," was seen to splendid advantage. Miss Palmer is a handsome bru- nette, and her additton to the company is to the benefit of play and patrons. All the catchy numbers were encored time after time, and when the final curtain went down. tt was nearly midnight. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—An audience of ample proportions witnessed a farce com- edy of average worth at the Academy of Music last night. It is known as ‘The Irish Alderman.” P. J. Sullivan plays the title role. The story deals with the loss of a handkerchief by a jolly alderman, which is found by a soubrette, who proceeds to .s much mischief as she can with !t. m was the soubrette.

All tastes were catered te Melville and Conway presented the wel Worn types of a beoby and his pert sister, They gave the same old j and the same old antics to gain applause that have been Seen on the vaudeville stage for twenty years, but as the laughs came rather fre- avently last night, why, the jokes and re good yet.

Then George C. Davis gave some clever imitations and made a hit by extemporizing verses, in which he described various per- sons in the audience. The Forrest brothers recalled the old dz of the sawdust ring and the whitefaced clowns. They intro- duced some tricks that were so olf that the present generation had never seen them be- fore, and accepted them rapturously as noveltfes. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sidham presente? a quiet ttle curtain-raiser, in which Mr. Sidham personated the old vil- lege postmaster and ulre, and gave utte ance to a great deal of droll humor, which immensely pleased his hearers. It was a ralistic little sketch, something on the Jush Whitcomb-Si Slocum order, and was ruil, yplauded. Josephine Gassman sang clously some coon songs and -brought in a couple of pickaninnies, who owned the hou: from their first appear- ance. The Misses Cook and Clinton gave an exhibition of fancy shooting that in- cluded a genuine novelty. This consisted in playing a few bars of “Yankee Doodle” with rifle shots on a xylephone.

The company, as a whole; can be classed as strong, the comedy element being -upper- most, with the addition: of many pretty women. The two burlesques, “Pocahon- tas,” which opens the entertainment, and “Parisign Follies,” which closes the same, are quite pretentious, the costumes of the former being quite novel and pleasing and along original lines as to theme and action. The latter burlesque was also richly dressed, but consisted cllefly of costumes designed to show off the physical charms of the maidens. The olio is quite long, and embraces several turns of real merit, and a few that could be strickem out without det- riment to the show. "Tom Nolan and Cora White are easily the leaders in a comedy sketch entitled, “A Tramp‘s History," the humor of the former being infectious, while the latter's dancing and singing possessed unusual merit. Dick and Kitty Kumins have a new sketch, but their work is almost the same as heretofore. The usual hearty laughs came their way. The La Mar Sis- ters, dancers and singers; Campbell and Dare, in a musical turn; Mile. Derossett, gun drillist; Conroy and’ McFarlane, in a rough Irish sketch, and the familiar and ever pleasing Emma Carus, make up the other olfo turns. BIJOU THEATER.—The seating capacity at the Bijou was taxed to its utmost last night, the attractions being a version of “Sapho” and Kara Osman, who calls him- self the Imperial Turk, and incidentally claims to be the champion wrestler of the. world. The “Sapho” part of the perform- ance bore ltile resemblance to the produc- tion which caused Miss Nethersole so much grief in New York, but seemed to furnish considerable amusement for the audience. The Turk, who offers a forfeit of $25 in the event of failure to throw any comer in fif- teen minutes, had no callers to contest for the prize. He consequently had little to do except walk about the stage with a widely expanded chest and artificially humped bi- cepts, and to take the usual stereotyped fall out of his traveling partner. His manager announced, however, that a number of ambitious Washington athletes have ex- pressed their intention to take a fall out of the Turk or tear a few planks out of the stage in the attempt. The rest of the per- formance is about the average production of the Bijou, the olio particularly having stveral entertaining numbers. Harry Hast- Ings and Harry Wright are the leaders of the fun making. and Mabel Carew and Marie Henry are the female principals in the burlettas, while Nellie Lytton sings top- {cal and sentimental songs. The chorus is robust and shapely as to form, shy only in the matter of voice, and as unintentionally entertaining as variety choruses usually are. OLD FRENCH CITIES.—Miss Pitts last evening concluded her course of “Travel Talks” with an account of a loitering jour- ney through the northwestern provinces of France, a picturesque region richly fraught with historic interest and local color, yet comparatively litle known to American tourists, most of whom are too eager to reach Paris to make the slight detour that would reveal to them some of the most charming corners of mediaeval France. The route followed began at St. Malo, whose harbor was the scene of the Incident narrated by Browning in his poem on Herve Riel. It included also several of the quaint Norman and Briton towns that are bound up with the history of England, the Angevin cities that were the favorite homes of her early Plantagenet rulers, the chateau towns of the Laire. and the four cities that were the scenes of the principal events in the tragic career of Joan of Arc— Chinon, where she first had audience of the selfish Charles VII; Orleans, where she Won the title by which she will be forever known; Rheims, where she attended the king at his coronation, and Rouen, where she suffered martyrdom. Miss Pitts’ next work will be a course of lectures at Mt. Gretna, ‘Pa., whither she will go in July for her third engagement at the Pennsyl- vania Chautauqua. DR. STAFFORD'S LE leetu ‘CTURE.—An intel- 1 treat is in store for all who attend the ture of Rev. D. J. Stafford, D.D., at the New National Theater this evening. The name of the lecturer is sufficient to entice the public to hear him, wha ever might be his theme, but when it i nounced that “Hamlet” is to be his subj the a tion becomes doubly great, as th: » of the best of Dr. Stafford’ pearean subjects. n= st NEW NATIONAL THEATER ‘The New National was dark last night, the only ac- tivity now in progress there in connection with the r the Mr. Debs’ Lecture. At a meeting of the Central Labor Union last evening it was announced that Mr. Debs would lecture in this city May 6. T Place for holding the lecture has not been determined upon. After delivering this lee- ture he will complete his arrangements for his presidential campaign. —_+——_ Boy Injured by a Colt. Georgie Frazier, five years old, son of S. ‘M.

The annual meeting of St. Mark’s Luther- an congregation, Rey. John C. Bowers, pas- tor, was held last evening at the church, C Street between 12th and 13th streets south- west. The following were elected to the vestry: F. W. Leonhardt, elder; Austin M. Cooper, August W. Noack and Cornelius fckhardt, deacons. Mr. Noack was re- elected treasurer. The treasurer's report was received with much satisfaction, it being the best in the history of the church. The indebtedness April 1, 1899, amounted to a little over $8,- 400. This was reduced during the year to $6,550. A pleasing incident of the evening was the presentation of a handsome roll-top desk, fitted out for business, and a revol ing chair to the treasurer, Mr. August W.
