THE SCJNJDA.Y HERALD, AUGUST 2, 1891. & N COMING AMUSEMENTS. THREE NIGHTS OF MIKSIKKLSY THIS W11GIC AT ALHAUGIl'S. tin MtuiuRcr Carloton it Special Arrange ment With tho Weather Ituroivu? Ills Approaching Senium Ilora Dimnlng's Kngngoment nt tlio Nntloiinl. Tho Carloton Opera Company will bo with us on Monday August 10 for a three weeks' engagement atAlbaugh's. The company Is now closing a very successful season of six weeks at tho Star Theatre In Buffalo. During the past two weeks Carloton has been com peting with Pain's pyrotechnic display of " Pompeii," and thereby hangs a talo wnlch ln"yo olden time" days would have con victed Carloton of hoodoolsm. Tho exhibition was given on tho outskirts of tho city and it was advortlecd extensively In tho outlying dis tricts that upcclal trains would bo run from tho country towns at a minimum rate of fare. Tho night tho show was bobked to open it rallied, uud rained hard. Tho downpour be gan, however, after tho special trains had .started, and when tho oxcurslonists arrived in Buffalo they learned that tho fireworks had been postponed until tho following evening. Then thoy Hocked to tho Star Tbeatro in such, numbers that the management was unable to accommodato them all. It rained the follow ing night and so on throughout tho week with the Bamo results. Finally the manager of tho fireworks de cided to try alternating nights, but with less success. Tho evenings when tho fireworks were not displuyed tho weather waB delight ful, but on show nights tho rain camo down in torrents. In tho meantime Pain's manager "went to Carloton and offered him all sorts of inducements If ho would only let go of tho "weather strings," but to this Carleton would not consont, and tho result was that tho opera company did all the business. Tho cast will be as follows: .Misses Clara Lane, Alice Vincent, Marion Laugdon, Delia Thompson, Messrs. J. Iv. Murray, Charles A. Bigelow, W. H. Fitzgerald, Walter West, and others. The chorus will bo as usual, a large one. Tho sale of seats begins Thursday. Goorco Wilson's Mlnstrolu. Georgo Wilson's Minstrels will be at Al baunh's on Thursday, Friday and Sat urday of this week also at the Saturday matinee. Georgo Wilson ia so well and favor ably known in Washington that he Is always sure of a hearty welcome whenever ho and his band of burnt cork artists appear. Tho fol lowing is from tho New York Journal: "Comi cal George Wilson stalkedupon tho 6tage of the Criterion Theatre last night at the begin ning of his special turn, and stood still. The audtenco looked at him a second and then 40me ono laughed. George laughed a little, and somo ono else laughed. Then the risibi lities of the audience were stirred to their depths, and such a good old-fashioned laugh as the patrons of that house enjoyed, will be long remembered. And what were they laughing at ? Why nothing in particular but Wilson, but they seemed to think it was time to laugh and did so. Tho minstrel organiza tion Mr. Wilson has with bim this season, is second to very few, if any, in the country. Tho blngers aro of the best, the comedians of a higher class than usually seen in minstrel shows, and the Instrumentalists excellent." Piices for this occasion will Lie 25, ."50, 75c. and 31. Tho Balo of seats will begin on Monday morning at tho box office. Cleveland's Minstrels. The opening attraction at Lincoln Hall will be W. S. Cleveland's consolidated mlnstrols who will appear next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings and special matinee on Wednesday. Everybody and everything is promised to lie absolutely new. Among tho prominent members aro Arther Rigby, that funny follow who does not bore you; John Queen, tho clover young comedian and fun pro 'ducer, tho four emperors of music, Black ford, Howard, Russell, and Talbert. Ouda, who Is called the incarnate spirit of the air, is Manager Cleveland's latest Importation, and his performances In midair aro said to bo more than marvelous. Roto, equilibrist, in IiIb pedestal ladder act, Glrard Leon, from tho Folies Bergers, Paris, aud his troupe of operatic donkeys, Edgar Wilson, London's descriptive baritone, Billy Lyons new burlosque star and a trained vocal corps of twenty-five trained voices and a solo orches tra of selected solo instrumentalists. Robert Downing's Season. A dramatic writer says: "Probably there is no moro promising young actor before tho American public to-day than Robert Down ing. Fortunately for himself ho has estab lished a Buro footing in that legitimate school of acting wherein a reputation once obtained llvos In tho history of tho stage after tho actor lias passed beyond tho bourne of tho living. Nature lias admirably fitted him for tho presentation of characters cast In tho heroic mould, and the actor has judiciously supple mented the work of nature with some admir able art. Ho possesses thophyslqueof a gladia tor and tho soul of an artist. There aro few upon tho American stage who can portray moro delicately tho feelings, A voice that might hayo served for tho stentors In the days of old, has, in tho milder words of character, a musical sweetness, rich, melodious, yibrant, that delights tho ear. Ho has tho faculty to burst into passion and the ability to control his action. In a word, ho Is an artist ono upon whom in tho near future tho dramatic mantle of greatness will fall." Mr, Downing opens tho season at tho National Theatre August 81, appearing in "Virglnlus," Next Soiison'H Stoddurd Lectures, John L. Stoddard will signalize his thir teenth yoar of public service by Introducing for the first time lectures upon the American continent. With this intention, ho has lately completed a course of extended travel In Mex ico, during which he was accompanied by Mr. North and his photographer. Two lectures of tho next sories will bo devoted to our neigh boring republic, for tho Illustration of which Mr. Stoddard has a collection of many hund red original photographs. Tho Dudley Buclr Quartette. A party of gentlemen met at Professor Iso inann's, on Tonth street, recently, and or ganized tho Dudley Buck Quartette.

Fennell, the well-known tenor of St. Dominic's Church; first bass, Frauk Rebstock, tho pop ular rising baiitoue of St. Joseph's Church; second bays, Mr. Johu Nolan, the great bass of St, Matthew's; Mr. .George Iseman, tho orentilft of Georgetown University and St. Augustine's Church, musical director. It wlllbo seen that these four voices aro very Well selected, and no doubt under the direction of Professor Iseman they will give Washington some very flue singing tho coming season. llll Ill The Casino Club's Opening Concort. Tho opening concert of tho now Casino Club last Wednesday oventng was a grand success. Tho Krounds of tho club wore brilliant with the light of hundreds of Japa nese lanterns, and tho Marino Band were nt their host. There woro about 800 present, among them Thomas M. Fields and wife, W.

A pretty thrco-storled building, painted In BOf t, light yellow, and formerly known as 1014 Pennsylvania avenue, now has running across Its facade, in letters of gold, "Lyceum Thea tre." It is tho entranco to Manager Kernan's now houso and was purchased for tho solo purpose of connecting tho theatre with Wash ington's great thoroughfare. It will be sur mounted with an elaborate wlro sign, and have a tall, conspicuous flagstaff. Its appearance is highly attractive. Two massive double doors open on an elegant vestibule, disclosing tho handsomo lobby thatruns back eighty feet, crossing tho old lobby, wh'ch opens on Elev enth street, to bo rcservod henceforth for tho gods of tho eallery. There are no steps to tho now entrance; level with the street, tho lobby goes smoothly back to the theatre. Tho now lobby is handsomely finished, and when lighted up, will present a rich aud attractive ap pearance. It contains tho box office, which is larce and comfortable, elaborately finished, with an imposing exterior, and three hand some windows of stained glass. The length of tho new lobby facilitates tho sheltering of quite a long lino of patrons. Especially attrac tive i6 the archway that rises nt the opening cut between the building and tho theatre. Hollowed out here aro several niches which will support appropriate ornaments. Not only this but tho entire Interior of tho theatre pre sents a fresh and attractive appearance. It has been thoroughly renovated, redecorated and upholstered. The floor of the dreos circle has been raisod, thereby making tho view of the stage better. The chair In the tier, as well as In the parquet, will ho reserved. Smoking and drinking will positively be prohibited. Re freshments will be served only at the bar, and smoklnc will bo permitted in the smoking room only. The appointments will be such as will Insure tho patronago of both ladles and gentlemen.

Sale of seats will open Monday morning, Aueust 10, at 10 o'clock, for Bobby Gaylorfn "Sport McAllister," Augutl7. Proposed Trip of tho Sharpshooters. Company A, Fifth Battalion (the Sharp shooters), have finally decided on a march to Harpers' Ferry and an encampment there. It was at first determined to make tho summer encampment at Winchester, but for various reasons tho project was abandoned. The command will leave tho city at 7 a. m. on tho 16th Inst., in heavy marching order with wagons carrying their tents and bagcago as if in an actual campaign. Tho company will number about thirty-five rifles. The tents will bo pitched In front of tho hotel at Harper's Ferry and an experienced cook has been bor rowed from the arsenal to provide for the messes as tho boys will furnish their own pro visions. It will not bo altogether a holiday time, however, as targets will bo carried along and there will be dally drills and practice at tho ranges. Including tho marches to the Ferry and return tho company will be absent about fifteen days. About fifty of tho mem bers of tho National Guard will join tho camp for practice In sharpshootlng. . Membors of tho Itochdnlo Co-oporiitlvo Society are advised that, notwithstanding tho flat refusal of dealers connected with tho Washington Coal Exchange to allow us any terms at all, your committee has succeeded In making arrangements with a compaey (Dot connected with tho Exchange), whereby we are granted udvantages not otherwise obtain able.

Tho most notable of all tho receptions at Glen Echo, historically, will bo that which was given by tho management in honor of Clara Barton in tho Hall of Philosophy on Friday evening, from 0 to 8 p. m. Tho reception co mmltteo, of whom Miss Pierce, tho teacher of tho Shakespeare class, was chairman, consisted of Mrs Philander Johnson, Miss Lily Lockwood, Miss May 'Borso, and Mrs. E. L. Sherwood, who decorated tho hall boautlfully vtlth field flowers, trailing vines, and draped flags. Miss Barton lobked regal In a trailing robe of black velvet, a pansy front of Bilk veiled In rare laco, and her brill ant souvenirs on her breast. Rugs were placed for tho receiving party to stand on. Ttio ladles assisting In receiving were Mrs. Dr. Gil lot, Mrs. Dr. Elliot, Mrs. Edwin Baltzley, and Mrs. M. S. Lockwood. Mrs. Sarah Spencer stood beside Miss Barton aud mado tho In troductions. Tho hall was packed with people anxious to take Miss Barton by tho hand. Dr. Glllet made a brief introductory address, in which ho said that tho woman beside him (Miss Barton) "would in future years bo re membered by the Chautauquans with pride, as ono of those who contributed most to tho success of Glen Echo during its earliest and greatest time of need." Miss Spencer then asked: "What brought Clara Barton to Glen Echo, where there was neither war, pes tilence, nor flood?" She answered her own question by Baying that Miss Barton began her career as a teacher and lover of youth, and she would end it in an educational atmos phere, with young people all about her. Miss Barton's remarks were very characteristic, and revealed her loyalty to high Ideals, friend ship, und good works, especially of a public character. Mrs. Daly, tho contralto, sung with great power and artistic finish, "The Better Land," and tho Philharmonic Quar tette, Dr. Glllet said, felt it an honor to sing ono of their songs on such an occasion. Among those present wore Commodore Rock bottom, a relative of Miss Barton's Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Barton and their daughter, of Boston, near relatives; Mrs. Marcus Baker. Dr. Ida Helburger, Miss NordhofE, Dr. and Mrs. Lamb, Mies Bennett, Mrs. Novin, of. Encland; Mrs. Best Campbell, Mrs. and Miss Reed, Miss Scull, Miss Kennedy, Mr. and Mrs., Springer," Mr. Jennings, tho secretary, Dr. Daly aud friends, Mrs. Mills. Lot Us nave Peaco. The peace meeting at Glen Echo on Tues day was an interesting one. There were two sessions, ono in tho morning and tho other in the afternoon. Alfred H. Love, of Philadel phia, piesident of the Universnl Peaco Union was on the platform, as was also Mrs. Belva Lockwood who presided, and Rev. Amanda Day, of Scranton, Pa., who made one of thobest speeches of the day. Mrs. Harriet N. Ralston, of Washington, read an original poem of much beauty, while Mrs. Agnes Vaille, of Philadelphia, furnished vocal music. Mr. William E. Curtis In the afternoon ses sion read an able paper on the results of the Pau American Congress, which, In Its work for reciprocity, he regarded as one of tho promoters of peaco and prosperity. Mrs. M. D. Lincoln read an able paper on "Peace and Chautauqua." Mr. E. Frank Carson, of Philadelphia, and Dr. Bland each gave thoughtful papers. Mrs. Emma Beckwlth, at one time candidate for Mayor of Brooklyn, N. Y., attracted a pood deal of attention from that fact, as well as the well considered paper she read on "Peaco and Strikes." Mrs. M. Louiso Thomas, of New York, sent a letter of regret, which was read and ordered to bo pub lished in the Peacemaker. The apostles of peaco are not a host in numbers, but numerous instances are on file in the archives of tho State Department which testify to their influence among the governors of nations. The latest is in regard to the difficulties in Venezuela, which tho Union asked for arbitration of through Mr. Blaino and Lord Salisbury, and the request so gently made was heeded. Fol lowing is the poem read by Mrs. Ralston: INVOCATION TO PEACE. Within yon vast and deep profound, The planets movo in solemn round, And stars and suns increase; Whilo no disturbing forces aliango The order of their endless ranco In realms of perfect peace. No echoes roll thro' countless years Along: the path of! circling spheres, Sounding; without surcease; Silent within tho vaults above Those distant orbs majestic movo, Attuned to perfect peace. t Each shines, a grand, distinctive sign, And constellated lights combine. As stars and suns lucrouso; Whilo thus in harmonies they roll, Eaoh magnot vibrates to its polo Throughout those roalins of peaco. In bounds defined, oaoh occult force, Mystorlous as its mystic source, ExlBts without release; And powers Invisible co-act. Subservient unto laws oxaot, In realms of perfect peaco. So, in tho universe of mind, Each force maintains its place assigned. Guiding, yot still controlled; Thought delves for ore In wisdom's ralnoa , And fancy sweeps beyond confines Faith grasps with firmer hold. While royal reason dominates, All selfish greed, all cruel bates, Dormant and poworless lie; At its behest florco passions sleep, No just control desires o'erleap, And lurking dangers ily. Yet vain, presumptuous man conspires, As reason from her throne retires, Conditions to displace; To break the harmonies of life. To strike tho Jangling chords of strjfo, And human souls debase. Stay, gentle peace I No sun, no moon, No guiding ray so Bweet a boon, No presence so benign; No gift with heavenly grace so fraught, Jn realms of space, in realms of thought, In love's domain, as thino I Haiuukt n. Ralston. A Itotronpoct und u Look Ahead. Yesterday was the closing day of tho second session of the Chautauqua of Glen Echo. Tho programme for tho day consisted of a musical prelude at 3 p, m, in which Vitale and Fan nelll leappeared amidst great euthuslasm with harp and violin; Professor Baker and Miss Johnson sang solos. At 2:80 Mr. Robert Niven gave tho closing lecturo of his course on "Matthew Arnold as Poet and Critic," Miss PJerce give two readlugs to her Shako-, pearo class to close the study of "Macbeth." At 4 p. m. somo interesting facts were set forth by Dr. Gilletand others. Ho stated that Glen Echo Chautauqua Is now legally Incor porated under the laws of West Virginia, that, the association had received from Edwin and Edward Baltzley a donation of sixty acre- of land, worth $100,000. Tho arcade, other build ings, gradlnc, Improvements, chorus Organ, water and se'wer system, advertising, cost of programme, and other Incidental expenses In clusive for two months, make a total of ex penditures of $354,800. Tho total Indebtedness of tho property, now worth not less than half a million dollurs. Is less than $40,000 which la being rapidly reduced by tho payment of m a turlng obligations. Tho most serious diffi culty the management hero had to contend with through this first session was tho lack of ndequato transportation. During tho first few days thousands endeavored to reach tho grounds and wero compelled to turn back dis appointed. This difficulty Is growing less every day. Before another session tho Qlon Echo lino will bo completed to tho grounds, and tho Baltimore nnd Ohio Railroad, now" building from Linden on the Metropolitan branch to Intersect tho Virginia Midland, and a short lino from Georgetown to the Great Falls is contemplated, which, with barges, on the renovated canal, will furnish ample facili ties for tho future Tho trustees regard tho successful carrylnn out of a long and expensive programmo against such difficulties as a re markable augury of a Buccossful future. Dr. Georgo Elliot, who has spent tho whole season at the Glen as a worker, mado a few felicitous remarks which were supplemented by others on tbo platform. Glen Echo Notes. On lost Saturday a farewell reception -was tendered Professor Woodruff, tho popular organist of Glen Echo, who has been at the Glen since tho opening of tho Juno session. Mr. Woodruff's popularity brought everybody at the Glen out to tho Red Cross Building on tho closing night of his stay among thom. Regret was expressed by all in fitting words of appreciation, but his musical brethren honored him with an immense medal made of straw. Now, the Professor and two others had been seen recently capering by moonlight on tho green on tho night of the dedication of Vitale's lot, ond an Impromptu court was convened then and, there, and tho three criminals wero tried, Clara Barton presiding as judge with great dignity and enjoying a bit of fun with tho best. Tho jury consisted of eight women, whom tho defendant addressed as my "brithren of the jury." Professor Woodruff proved an alibi, and one of tho other victims escaped on tho plea of Insanity, tho third was ready to prove that it was her astral being that did dance and not herself, but the jury in spite of all these facts brought in a verdict of "not guilty," thus enabling tho musical professor to fill his other eneagements outside of Glen Echo. Mr. Barton was an able defendant. Yesterday Miss Clara Barton, and her nephew, Mr. Stephen Barton, his wife and daughter, and Dr. Hubbell, set off for an extensive trip ' South and West. Their first objective point, however, is Detroit, whero they will bo at tho opening of the G. A. R. annual gathering August 4. Tho party expect to visit California, New Mexico, and many places of interest in tho Southwest, probably being absent some three or four mouths. During Miss Barton'g absence, MIbs Kennedy will have charge of tho Red Cross Building at Glen Echo. . The two lectures by tho Rev. G. Chapman Jones, of Rochester, N. Y., on "Our Folks" and "Americanisms," at Glen Echo the past week wero wise, witty, and most enjoyable. Mr. Jones is a gentleman of much culture, and he has a style of delivery marked by much originality. At the close of the evening lecture in the amphitheatre, Glen Echo, the Peace meeting guests wero tondered a reception In the Red Cross Hall by Miss Clara Barton and others. Speeches, songs, and delicious lomonado re freshed tho inner and intellectual man of the peacemakers. Miss Imogen S. Pierce's classes In Shakes peare at Glen Echo have been very thorough and exhaustive studies of tho plays "Mid Sum mer Night's Dream," "Tho Tempest," and "Macbeth." Messrs. Vltalo and Fannolli's reappearance at Glen Echo caused much pleasure. They will remain at the Glen until August 15. The End of Slander. The following Incident recently happened at Newark, Ohio: A band of women, it seems, wero going from houso to houso in that city, In the em ploy of a certain baking powder company, trying to discredit every brand of baking powder except their own. They performed certain so-called tests, but these, as will ap pear later, were really tricks to deceive un wary housekeepers. They called at tho residence of Mr. Danner, tho well-known groceryman, whero thoy were most cleverly caught in their own trap. It camo about in this way. Mr. Dauncr (who happened to bo homo at tho time they called), being well posted In such trlck6, knew that the canvassers Intended to say tho worst things about tho most popular biand. He, therefore, without their knowledge, took an empty Royal Baking Powder can and filled it with tho very powder these canvassers were trying to boom It was Cleveland's. Tho so-called tost was then applied to tho powder in the proffered can, and, of course, the result announced, with all tho assuranco of professional charlatans, that tho powdor tested contained all manner of obnoxious In gredients. When, however, Mr. Danner informed them that they had really boen testing their own powder instead of the Royal, it is un necessary to say that the uneasiness and as tonishment of the "frauds" caused them to move on with unusual haste. Peoplo are becoming weary of these pests of the kitchen, and it Is quite rare that thoy will give audience or opportunity to such plausible tricksters; but it is quite evident that those who do not close their doors to such attempts must expect to bo "hum bugged." i n . i i Business Property.
