MIR. WheeIOcl's Rene fit.

A very large house greeted Mr.. Wheelock on
| the occasion of his benefit last evening. The
audience was one f the best of the season, was
cordial in its welcome, and testified its admira-
ton many times during the play. So enthus-
iastic did it become at the end of the fourth
act, at tue close of the famous scene where
'Richelien" threatens he..cowering Baradas
with "the curse of Rome that he was called
before the audience three times. He was call
ed out also at the end of the second act This
tribute to so excellent and deserving an actor
may be taken as significant of the general de.
sire that Mr. Wheelock shall lead the Museum
company next season.
Mr.. Wheelocks impersonation of the Car
dinal Duke, the strongest and subtlest spirit
which ruled France in the period that inter-
venes between Henri Q1atre and Napoleon,
was in many respects admirable. He conveyed
vivid impersonation of the great intriguer, the
man who despised no great crimes and scorned
no small arts in the further3nce of his aim. the
spread of the power and glory of France. One
saw Armand Du PleSsis as he was, a States
man OF grand IDEAS, bent upoa raising his
countryato the first rank among nations, and
remorselessly crushing every obstacle which
stood In his way; capable of noble and gener-
GUS deeds, aud of mean acts as we'll. In the
crucial scene, where he confron "Blradas'
Mr. Wheelock rose to the full height of the
situation and his acting was lofty and impas-
stoned. But in the passages in minor key
there was sometimes a lack of finish, a need of
study,-fnish and study which 80 fine an ar
fist is hardly to be excused for neglecting. As
regards Mr.. Wheeock's makeup there will be
difference of opnion 1t was certainly not the
makeup to which We are accustomed, nor that
which Bulwer indicates. But it has the ad-
vantage of being historically correct. At
neither of ths times of the two conspiracies
which the English dramatst has patched into
one, was the Cardinal an old man.
OF the support two command warm praise.
Miss Cameron's "Jule'' was excellently done,
imprisoned and tender, aud in the ''Baradas''
of Mr.. Snyder was seen fine picture of the
clark CANISTER" whom Richlieu conquered, the
man who ventured his life against throne and
lost.
This evening sthe season at the Museum
closes. At both performances, matinee and at
night, ''The Shaughraun" will be given. Let
the last houses be big Ones
1t ought to be unnecessary to remind people
that 'Julius Cesar" with four of the finest
actors in America 10 the cast, will be brought
out at the Museum Monday night Many ex-
cellent seats yet remain unsold.

schooner Mary A. Rice, which collided with
the brig Anna D. Torrey, in tow. Tbs steamer
found the schooner abandoned about forty mi les

A Uniformed Battalion Organized.

The knights of Pythias met at Grand Lodge
hall, on ., between Sixth and Seventh streets,
Wednesday evening, and organized an associa-
tion to be called ''The Uniformed Battalion,
Knights Of Pythias, District of Columbia"
The Object of the battalion is to perfect the
members in the Pythian drill, Ito bring about
the intermingling Of the members of the vari-
Gus lodges which will tend to inculcate that
friendship which is so necessary to carry out
the principles as first laid down BY the founder
of the Order, to provide ways and means for
visiting other jurisdictions, and to pay the last
tribute OF respect to deceased members. After
the adoption of the constitution the following
officers were elected:
Battalion Offcers-Chief commander, P. G.
c. &. j. L. Foxwell; 1st assistant commander,
mander, P. s. c. J. T. K. Plant; chief exc
cutive, P. G. C. j. T. Coldwell; quartermas-
ter, P G. c. w. H. Hines.
Division Ofiicers-Chief Of LIST division, P.
Z. James Morrow; LIST assistant, P. G. -
Billingsby; I'd assistant, PC. John P. Jacobs;
chief of I'd division, 2. c. Alex. P. Gray; LIST
assistant, P. G. c. George E. Strobel; I'd as
sistant, P. c. David Gregg.
A committee was appointed to select sur
geou, and to report at a meeting of the bat
TALON on Wednesday of next week. A c)m-
mittee was also appointed to report regulations
for the government of the battalion.
Two divisions (companies) have alre ldy
been organized, and it is thought that in less
than thirty days two other divisions will be in
readiness. The greatest interest is manifested
by the members of the Order, and they seem
determined not to be outdrilled by any other
jurisdiction or Order.

Canton Against limitations.

The proprietors of Benson's Capcine Porous
Pastors have found 1t necessary to warn the
public against bogus articles that are offered
them, under the name eff "Cspslcin'' or "Cap-
sicum,' as being the same as "Capcine;" the
facts are that they are totally unlike the gen.
uine in their effect or composition, and such
limitations are calculated to injure the excel
lent remedial qualities of Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters. The unparalleled success of
this famous and vigorous medical combina-
tion has stimulated INSCRIPTIONS individuals
to Issue articles under the above similar sound
ing words. To further protect the consumer,
we have cut the word "Capcine'' in each
plaster. Their powerful vegetable properties
afford instant relief, and insure a quicker cure
than any known medicine. They contain no
metallic or mineral poisons, and are superior
in their effects to electricity, and more certain.

Professor Esputa,s MUSIC Glasses,

Professor L. Esputa will tomorrow organ
ize his IS per annum music class at the lecture
room of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton at O'Clock p. m. Professor Esputa's
ability as teacher of music and singing needs
no comment, and the many classes which he
has conducted attest his success. The tuition
fee is low, but the instruction is the best, and
the Professors idea is to make up in large
classes what he loses in low prices.

Or FINE GOOD
Deaths Among the Destitute.

Since August 25 seventy-one cases have been
referred to the medical sanitary inspectors
under the Board of Health, for investigation
to ascertain the causes of death and also the
pecuniary condition of persons who died in
this District without the attention Of physi-
clans, and who were buried in Potter's field
because their friends were unable to provide
burial for them. Six cases of this character
have been investigated this week.
