Art fee the People.The lecture by Mr. Win. Ordway Part-

rents. His subject, "Art for the People,"was handled in a comprehensive manner,particular stress being laid upon the neces-sity of including "art," as a regular fea-ture of common school education. In con-nectIon with this Mr. Partridge said: "Inorder to educate the people to an apprecia-tion of the fine arts we must begin withthe children In the pubice schools. A fewyears ago the study of art was a privilegewhich few could afford to undertake. Nowthere is scarcely a publice school In the land'where some order of art trainIng Is notgiven to the pupils gratis, and further-spore, In a limited number of schools, prin-elpally In New England, excellent photo-graphs of the masterpieces of great artistsare hung upon the walls so that the chil-dren may grow to love to look at beautifulthings."'We must also convince the people," he

said. "that srt is not a luxury for theidle and rich alone, but that It to an In-tensely practical thing, something that Isto widen their horisons and affect verygreatly their social well being. The mo-ment we bring artistic training and tasteto the commonest product of labor webring to It a grace and beauty which en-hances Its value many times.'

lad Lodge a Bene of Beauty Iautlight.

New Miase.e Temple and its Artistle

Fair-commissioner Ros Makes

an Address.

A triumphant epoch, in the history ofMasonry in this city was marked last even-

ing by the opening of a fair, and at thesame time the new Masonic Temple whichhas been erected by Naval Lodge, No. 4,F. A. A. M., at the corner of 4th streetand Pennsylvania avenue southeast. Thebuilding of the structure was begun inJuly last, and it was ccmpleted but a fewweeks ago. For the purpose of properlyfurnishing their new home, and also fordiminishing a debt incurred in the erection,the members of Naval Lodge decided thatthe public should first view the inside ofthe temple when a fair should be in pro-gress and the place gaily decorated. Wives,daughters, ilsters, aunts, mothers, cousins,aweethearts and female friends were calledupon to aid the project, and, although ofthe weaker sex, they proved strong intheir aid.The result was the opening last evening

of a fair on such an elaborate scale as hasseldom been seen east of the Capitol.The fair proper comprises the greater

pertion of the new building. On the secondnocr Isma large room fitted up with boothi,and there are a number of smaller roomswhere refreshments are served. A shoot-ing gallery has been fitted up, and variousother attractions are presented. On thefourth floor is a large hall, also fitted withbooths, but with a floor space free fordancing. There are also a number. ofsmaller rooms, in which are located whatmight be termed side shows.The entire building was literally packed

befora 8 o'clock last evening. Of course,there were pretty girls galore, charminglygowned, many of whom were escorted byyoung men with fat purses, and those arethe kind the lodge is particularly desirousof seeing. A stillness became apparentwhen a party, comprising Commissioner.Ross, D. G. Dixon, grand master; GeorgeW. Baird, deputy grand master; MatthewTrimble, senior grand warden; Samuel C.Palmer, junior grand warderU C. B. Smith,chaplain; Harry Standiford, junior deacon,and George H. Walker, past grand highpriest, mounted the speaker's gallery. Thechairman of the entertainment committee,Geo. C. Ober, announced to the throng be-low that he was happy to see so manypossible victims present, and he added thathe would like to tell what thelodge wantedto do with them, but it was his duty tointroduce Graid Master Dixon, and thatcnly.The grand master remarked that he was

sure he volced the sentiment of all presentwhen he stated that Naval Lodge deservedthe utmost credit for erecting such a home,which was a credit to themselves and tothe fraternity, a credit not only to EaqtWashington, but to the entire city. Hecongratulated the lodge on the presenceand help of the ladies, and added that hehad no doubt but that the enterprise wouldbe an entire success.

Commissioner Ross.

Commissioner Ross was then introducedand was greeted with applause. He took

great pleasure, he said, in being present.When the corner stone of the building was

laid the speaker %as away from the city.which fact he regretted deeply, as it was

his desire to be present on that occasion.Mr. Ross declared that he was astoundedat what Naval Lodge has accomplished.The erection of the temple was begun inJuly last, when building operationsthroughout the city were practically sus-

pended, but in spite of all obstacles suc-cers had been attained. He wished the ex-

ample would prove contagious, and heurged these lodges who cannot build I-dividually to unite and erect a templeworthy of the I.istrict of Columbia. It was

surmised that the enterprise of NavalLodge would set the other lodges thinking."As a Commissioner, I represent the

whole city," continued Mr. Ross. "1 am

proud of what has been accomplished, how-ever, in East. Washington. You have theCapitol building, the new library building,and soon, I think, will have a new build-ing for the Supreme Court of the UnitedStates, and before many years, in my opin-on, this old avenue will be lined with finestructures. I congratulate Naval Lodgethat it has put up one among the first.There never was a time when Free Mason-ry was more respected than at present.I am proud to be a member of the organi-zation. I congratulate you on the assist-ance of 1hese 'fair" ladies, and I sincerelytrust that the fair itself will be a completesuccess."Grand Master Dixon then touched an

imaginary button, and the machinery ofthe fair was in motion.

some Features.The upper hall is fitted up, to accord with

the architecture of the room, in the Egypt-an style. - Flags and banners of every huecovered the walls, and the booths, withoutexception, are things of beauty. AlmasTemple of the Mystic Shrine conducts a

far from quiet paddle stand, where sacksof flour, market baskets, feather fans and,in fact, almost everything imaginable, froma ton of coal to a brick house, may bechosen by the holder of a lucky paddle.The main room on the lower floor is dec-cated in the Indo-Greclan style. There anorchestra discoursed music throughout theevening, while the special attraction in theupper hail was fancy dancing by Mr.Percy Leech, in female attire.In one of the side rooms is administered

for a small fee what is termed "the thirty-fourth degree of the New York rite of theorder of high monk-a-monk." The pre-siding genius of this unique initiation is anindividual dl'gulsed by a most startlingcostume of skulls, bones, wings and otherhorrible conceptions. There were fishingpnds, graphophones, fortune tellers andall the other usual fixtures of a fair room.At 10 o'clock general dancing was com-menced. The fair, judging from the open-ing night, will prcve an unqualified suc-cess.

Snow in the Streets,To the Editor of The Evening Star:

May I ask the question through yourcolulus if it would be any more than sim-ple justice to ask of the street car rail-road companies and th:e Commission~ers ofthe District to clear away at least a footpath, through the embankments of snowor the streets opposite each stoppingplace for the cars that ladies diud passen-gers generally may enter and leave thecars without wading an unusual depththrough the slush and snow? We noormordils are compelled to clean away thesnow and ice from the entire sidewalks infront of our houses within a few hoursafter the snow falls. W. G. McDOWELL.

Academy ef Forty.The "Wimodaughsis Academy of Forty"

Theofcers named are magister, vice magister,scribe, correspondent, repobi tor, directorand board of censors.

The committee elected to completethe constitution is composed of MissKatherino Garst, Miss Williams and Mrs.Haens. Among those present were Mrs.Rachel Foster Avery, Miss Nicolal Shaw,Mrs. Henrietta Banker, etc. Letters werereceived by aspirants for mecmbership, whocould not be present last evening.

On a Grade Crossing.Mr. E. J. McGreery, the Hillsdale florist,attempted to pass with his carriage infront of a large freight engine attached totwo box cars at Virginia avenue and 4%street about 5:30 o'clock last evening. Thedriver of the vehicle whipped up his horscas soon as he saw the danger, but not intme to prevent the engine from strikingthe rear part of the carriage. The car-riage was thrown from the track, but Mr.M~reery was not injured.

AMUSEUMUTS.

The Grand Opera House.-Chauneey 01-cott, In the "Irish Artist," was the attrac-tion at the Grand Opera House last night.This young actor has many exceptionalgifts, prominent among them being thatpersonal magnetism which attracts anaudience regardless of the merits or de-merits of the play itself. "The IrishArtist" does not suffer by comparison withother plays of the same type, its chiefrecommendation being the manner inwhich it gives Mr. Olcott an opportunityfor the display of a tenor voice of ex-

quisite sweetness. He sings some of thegood old ballads which age cannot wither.The new bits of musical composition whichhe introduces are charming indeed, butscarcely so charming as the simple, yetstriking, melody and the warm, fluent ver-sification of such songs as "Believe Me, ifAll Her Endearing Young Charms." Thecompany was entirely competent to dojustice to the play and the performanceafforded much that was mirth-provokingas well as plenty of action and sentiment.Mr. Olcott is evidently giving his abilitiesconscientious cultivation, for his work ingeneral shows marked improvement astime passes.National.-Tne first performance ever

given of "The Girl I Left Behind Me," andthe last one, as well, cccurred in Wash-ington. The first one was some time ago;the last one was last night, but for a dayonly, as, judging by its enthusiastic re-

ception, though seen here several times, ithas the staying qualities which character-ize only meritorious plays. Perhaps not incast, but in scenic effects it has beengreatly improved since the beginning, andthe third a-t, the stockade, Is now afeature in realistic dramatic representa-tion which has not, probably, a superioron the stage. The entire act is kept at thehighest tension and when the curtain goesdown on the rescue of the stockaders by a

company of cavalry on a wild rush the en-

tire audience catches the spirit of thescene and lets itself loose in tremendousapplause. Last night the curtain was call-ed up four times, and still the people want-ed more. In the cast are Maclyn Arbuckle,as Gen. Kennion; Miss Maud Harrison, ashis daughte- Kate; Thomas Oberle, as

Maj. Burleigh; James E. Wilson, as Lieut.Hawkesworth: Mr. MacSweeney and Mr.Enos, as Orderly McGlynn and PrivateJones; Chis. Lothian, as Dr. Penwick;Master George Enos, as Dick Burleigh;Gertrude Berkeley, as Lucy Hawkesworth;Violet Rand,as Fawn Afraid; Myron Calice,as Scar Brow, and Lottie Alter, as Wilber'sAnn, a very bright bit of work by a brightlittle woman. The play, of course, movedsmoothly and there was a big houseful ofpeople to enjoy it.Stoddard Lecture.-Mr. Stoddard, in his

introduction last night at the Academy,stated that he had lectured in Washington150 times, and yet, though he did not sayso. he is the same attractive speaker, andhis admirers are always glad to bear himtalk of his trarels and see with him thescenes he has seen. His lecture last nightwas on Paris, historical, however, ratherthan pictorial, and his talk was even more

interesting than the picturea. Mr. Stod-dard is a frierd of the late Napoleon Bona-parte. and his references to that greatmilitary genius brought frequent applause.In the Paris pictorial Mr. Stoddard's au-

ditors followed him through the Place deIa Concorde, along the Champs Elysee' tothe Church of the Madeline. to the GrandOpera House, the tomb of Napoleon, theEiffel tower, the palace of the Trocadero.the Louvre, the Versailles, along the Seine,over the bridges, about Notre Dame, and,in fact, everywhere almost where peoplego, and at each point of interest the pic-ture was given all the eiect of light andlife and color by the beautiful, grand paint-ing which is one of Mr. Stoddard's chiefcLarms as a lecturer. The curtain wentdown en a picture of the first Napoleonwhich. was his favorite, and the eulogiumby the lecturer could not have been lesspleasing to him than the picture.Miss Jennie O'Neill Potter.-Miss Jen-ie

O'Neill Potter delighted an enthu"Iastie andappreciative audience at Metzer- t's MusicHall last evening in Robert Griffin Morris'monologue. "Flirts and Matrons." Therange of emotions portrayed in this prettylittle work was certainly well worked outby Miss Potter. Through the saucy.piquant chatter of the little girl in thenursery, the Vassar girl and the bud insociety her rendering was inimitably nat-ural anid finished. In the Wore patheticperiods of the wife, the mother and theold lady there was quite as much actionand spirit shown as in the more strikingparts earlier in the program. Miss Potter'selocution is always pleasing and her dra-matic aptitude in the comedy parts is strik-irg and promising. The program was

pleasingly varied by solos by Miss KittyThompson Berry, who was several timesencored.Kernan's Lyceum Theater.-No vaude-

ville company is more popular in this citythan the Rice & Barton's Rose Hill FollyCcmpany, which began its first engage-ment of the season at Kernan's last night.The house was crowded and the interestin the different attractions was incessant.Miss Clara Lawrence, the cornetist, wasfar above the average and was enthusiasti-cally received. The excellent black-faeeteam, Crawford and Manning, had to an-

swer to three encores. The WashburnSisters gave a striking interpretation ofthe Bowery girls. The musical team, Mor-ton and Eckloff, played finely, and theirccmedy work was greatly enjoyed. Mr.Frank Emerson. bone soloist, closed theo11o, and proved to be a feature of theshow. Then came the bux'lesque, "TheFakir's Daughter," with its pretty girls,catchy songs and dances and witty say--ings, the troupe entering into their workwith energy.Butler's Bijou Theater.-Manager Butlerhas a very strong attraction at the BijouTheater this week in Hi Henry's big min-strel troupe. Their opening house lastnight was a big one, and laughter was4cntinuous. Such well-known minstrel per-formers as Frank McNish, Marcus Doyle,Matt Diamond, Larry Mack and manyothers are with the troupe, and the enter-tainment put forward was one of the bestseen in this city this season. The singb-gis far above the ordinary, the boy soprano,Edward Percy, capturing the audience withhis clear voice and pleasing manner. Theuproarous funny skit, "Th Mind Readers,"interpreted by Frank Mec'ish and blattDianond, kept everybody in a roar untilthe curtain fell. The combination featureof pickaninnies and brownies proved adecided hit, and a'score of other fcaturesmade up a highly interesting program.The performance terminated with a spec-tacular production of marching gladiatorsand living pictures, the latter original bur-lesques on classic marble statuary.Lewis Harvie Finneys Lecture.-TheOber-AmmergaU Passion Play is today thelast survivor of the religious dramas of

ARRESTED FOR COUNTERFEITING.

A Young MarylauSt Farmer Capturedby the Omicers.

John Hoopengardner, a young farmerresiding near Hancock, Md., on the C. and0. canal, who for some time has been sus-

pected of counterfeiting, was on Sundaynight "swooped" down upon while at hishome by United States Agent Griffith ofPittsburg and Detective Fisher of Hagers-town. They knocked at the Hoopengardnerfarm house and the boy's mother answered.While they were plying the old lady withquestions they heard a noise at the upperwindow. Suspecting that their presencehad been discovered and their business,too, and that the man wanted was attempt-ing to escape, they rushed around to theback of .the house. There they saw I heman just rushing off in the darkness withonly his night clothes on. He was yelledat to stop, but e went on, in spite of barefeet, linen clothes, snow and freezing -old.A ball went from one of the officers' pis-

tol when they found that no attention was

paid to their commands. It struck thefleeing fellow on the calf of the- leg, 6uthe went on. After an exciting chase heeluded the officers.Later he returned to his home and was

caught.A search of the house and outbuildings

disclosed in the smoke house a plaster-of-paris mold for making nickels.

It is said the prisoner has flooded hissection with the bogus nickels made.

Right of Way Through the WhiteHouse Grounds.

To the Editor of The Evening Ster:Will you allow me space in your columns

to state a grievance which many peopleare enduring and have endured for some

time? In all former administrations, re-

publican and democratic alike, the right ofway across the grounds of the PresidentialMansion has been freely accorded. Thegates through the lower portion of thegrounds have never been closed againstthe public until a year or so ago. In themorning, from 8 o'clock until 9, they are

open, to permit the government clerks topass through, but at 4 o'clock, when theneed is equally great, they are hermetical-ly sealed. This causes many a clerk, tiredfrom his or her day's work, to make quitea detour In order to reach home. Thismorning the gates were open, between 8and 9, bt't the walk from the gates nearthe treasury to those near the Departmentof State were deep in snow three-quartersof the way, and one was compelled towade ankle-deep and more through thesnow. Why should the rights of the clerksbe so curtailed? The White House is nota private residence, nor are its groundsprivate property. Free access is had overother government grounds, why not here?No one asks or desires to wander about inthe grounds, but the departmental clerksdo ask that they should not be put to thepersorial inconvenience, extra journeyingand loss of tme which they now suffer.

TH SAENGMBUNDS CARNIVAL.

An Enjoyable Eveniag Spent at theILight Infantry Armory.

The Washington Saengerbund. with hun-dreds of their friends, took possession ofthe Washington Light Infantry Armorylast evening and enjoyed themselves in amanner seldom equaled. The occasion wasthe annual fools' carnivai celebration, a

custom with the leading German organiza-tions. The hall was gaily decorated andbrilliantly lighted, and at one end was aplatform, on which were seated Messrs.John Waldmann, William Waldecker, Will-iam Berens, A. Firs, Rudolph Schneider,Farn'est Kubel, Paul Havenstein, John J.

sher, Leo Stiefel, Louis Faber and FritzAltrup. The Saengerbund orchestra waslocated to the right of the committee, andbetween the two,in imitation of a sea shell,was a raised chancel. Several long tableswere located in the hall. These tables werefully occupied, and a great number of per-sons, unable to obtain seats, were forced tostand throughout the evening.Mr. Clandy, as chief fool of the carnival,

opened the exercises at 9 o'clock with a

witty speech. The opening scene was anoriginal travesty, entitled,. "The Poet'sDream of the Modern Faust," in whichMiss Louise Donch, Miss Clara DonchMissB. E. Lutz, Miss U. Rettig, Mr. F. Altrup,Mr. G. W. Spier and Mr. W. J. Wolf par-ticipated. Next on the program was thereceipt of greetings and fools' caps fromseveral New York organizations. Mr. PaulSchultz was called upon for a speech, afterwhich Mr. Albert Lepper described themanner in which he had fobnd America.Mr. Frank Rocker of the New York ArlonSoc!ety. made an amusing address, andProf. Max Kasil gave a grotesque perform-ance on the violin. Attractions were alsopresented by Mr. Victor Poesche and Mr.Fred Altrup. Mr. Simon Wolf was unableto be present, but he sent the manuscriptof a political speech, which was read andgreatly enjoyed.At midnight the floor was cleared and the

young folks- danced for several hours. Thescene was a unique one, as every dancerwas required to wear a grotesque fool'scap. The affair was generally conceded tobe one of the most enjoyable of the manyever held under the auspices of the Saen-gerbund.
