Vil. Mr. Theedore Roosvelt, who has «1 made a Civil Commissioner, although only thirty years old has iy for some time held a prom el ein the Republican party i the Empire State. He was born u New York City and belongs to an old respected family, which has always been conspicuous in that city. He is by profession a lawyer, having graduated from Harvard and having been admitted to the New York Bar; but he bas never I sed, He preferred going into polities or living upon his Western iweh, the life on which be has ically deseribed in a clever k publi: hed sume years ago. He was ouly twenty one years old, when he was elected to the Assem- vly of New York, where be soon attracted attention by his good speeches and by his zeal for reform. He was chairman of the committee which in 1884 was sitting upon Metropolitan affairs and which cor- rected many abuses which had cept in connection with the Alder- manie system. In 1886 he was the Republican nominee in the mem- orable three cornered fight for the rat Mayorality of New York in which lienry George and Abram Hewitt were the other contestants and in hich the latter was elected.

Washington, D, 0., May 1, ’89. Mr. J. E. Draper, musical director of Ebenezer Choir, Dear Sir: We have been appoint- ed by the Butler Intantry Corps as a committee to ask you to repeat your wonderful play, ‘‘The Statue,” in the interest of our company, June 3d, 1889. Respectfully yours, Capt. Alexonder Oglesby, Lieuts. Tasker, Thompson, and Rebiuson, Capts. Robert Green and Geo. Lew- is, Sergeant Majors C. Brown and W. Herrin, Sergeants A. Riggeney and Wilson Peed. Washington. D. C., May 3, ’89. Butler Infantry Corps, Gentlemen: Your communication of the 1st has been received, and I do earnestly assure you that I am proud of the privilege of comply- ing with your request, especially when I consider that the applica- tion comes from tried and brave soldiers whom this nation should never cease to honor. I will be pleased to play for youon the date you have named. Respectfully yours, J. E, DRAPER. The above named company, (which is composed chiefly of the members of the Ebenezer choir) assisted by the tragedian, Mr, A. L. Leftwich, asserts without fear of successful contradiction that they will give one of the most interest- ing and and pleasing entertain- meuts ever witnessed in the Grand Army Hall. The manager desiring to surpass in grandeur all his prévious entertainments in this city, has secured the services of the following professional talent: Miss Henrietta Hill, Miss Alice Green, and the great Phronetic Quartette, Baltimore’s greatest musical stars. MISS HENRIETTA HILL has a voice of wide range, purity and sweetness. The ‘Philadelphia Weekly Tribune” spoke in glowing terms of her success and record in that city this season. Her oration at the Grand Opera House, Long Branch, will not soon be forgotten. She captures her audience at once, and holds them speil-bound at ber — She is a concert in her self. MISS ALICE GREEN is also ove of Baltimore’s brilliant musical stars. She has a voice of exceed- ingly great merit, and unquestion- ably deserves the title she has won, “The Night-in-gale.” Her appear- once upon the stage in her native city always assures a crowded house. BALTIMORE PHUNETIC QUARTETTE, Prof. J. J, Dan- gee, Lawrence Lee, Wm, J. Nichols and Leandre Hawkins. These gentlemen are professional singers, and (like the Clipper Quartette) always make their mark. If you would hear one of the greatest quartettes in the country, be pres- ent. Besides all this professional talent the Beethoven quartette, the Ebenezer Quintette and the famous duette singers Brown and Wil- liams will be on hand. Drama, The Tempter. This 13 a strong play and pictures out the tricks of a dishonest lawyer. Cest of Characters: Mary Dray- ton, a governess; Miss Alice Stew ard, Harry Drayton, asailor; A. L. Leftwich, Robert Martan, counsel- lor atlaw, J. E. Draper, Olliver, an office boy, Stepney Mitchell. Monumental Orchestra. To com plete the fuiry-like scene in this great building and add luster to the entertainment in general the management has gpploved the above named orchestra and hereby wishes to announce that Prof. J. W. Bowie, will introduce as an op: ening overture the great Anvil chorus, which every-one should hear, THE STATUE. This great one hours laughable play has become the peoples favorite. The Manager haz played it with great success in nine different cities always sending his audience away filed with inexpressible delight. May 27:h ’89, he appeared in the Historie Temper- ance Tabanacle, Baltimore and the scene on that occasion is beyond discription, roar after roar of laughter greeted every act and swept through the great building mnul the very beams and walls echoing and reechoing, the sound seem to drink in the sport. His first appearance in this city was at Odd Fellows hall in ’86. The audience went wild with delight and on the following morn the name of Jake and Pete could be heard in many a household. A committee of 100 citizens requested the manager to repeat the enter- tainment which he did; the build- ing was again crowded and nearly two hundred people turned away. He has surrounded himself with some of Washingtons best talent and hereby extends a hearty invi- tation to the citizens of the Dis- trict to witness one of the most laughable, yet innocent plays, upon the American stage.

May 9th., 1889 Editor of the BEE: I was muh pleas- ed on reading the issue of cthe BEE of the 4th, inst with the opinions expressed upon the lecture of Mr. Douglass. He seems to lose sight of the fact that we are reaching the stage of existence When we as a people though americans yet a seperate and distinct element when we cannot only think, but act and do for ourselves if they would only let us, and while Mx. Douglass seems to be alarmed at the idea of our anxiety that some dire cala- mitywould result, the stimulating of race pride upon an_ iutelligent basis has made every element of this great American government what it isto day while it would be impolitic forus to array ourselves in adifferept way as yet. Wecan educate the masses to a higher, grander noble, idea of citizenship and force by anintelligent action, theexercise of those priviliges that are now denied us, let the matter be agitated for I say to you that the 300,000 to 400,000 voters of color in the north have got the battle to fight and we here iu the Northwest are preparing to do our duty when the time comes. Hoping that you may yet succeed in your efforts and that you may ever con tinue to champion the cause of right, in the fearless manner that has characterised your action in the past that I may bear from you soon. I am very respectfully F. D. Parker, Register of Deeds office, St. Paul Minn. ———2 a The most potent remedies for the cure of disease have been discovered by acci- den’.

Now that the oftice-seekers have thinned out, the President and his eight counselers intend to get down to business, and changes are expected to take place rapidly in the offices which have not been filled, and the reorganization which the admmnistratien desires to bring about in the public ser- vice will be begun in earnest. It will be much more interesting in WVashivgton during the hot movths than now. Early in Jone the Pres- ident and Mrs. Harrison hope to spend their Sundays in the moun- tains of West Virginia. Mrs. Har- rison will be there a large part of her time. There wili be a suspen- sion of social duties throughout the city The recreation the Presi- deut will have, and the absence of so many office seekers will give him physical strength and oppor- tunity to roll up bis sleeves and bring about the changes which he has been wanting forseveral weeks to make. es Tho Baptist Sunday School Union will metin the 4th Baptist church Sunday May 19th.
