JOSEPH JEFFERSON on ART.
Lecture by the Eminent Comedian at
Metzerott's Next Week.

Mr.. Joseph jefferson, the eminent actor,
will appear upon the Washington stage on
Tuesday of next week in another role than
that of a comedian. Those who have. fol-
lowed Mr.. Jeferson's career are wei aware
that his leisure hours have been devoted
for years to the study and practice of art
in the widely accepted sense of the term
1t is questionable whether he does not love
the studio better than he does the stage
and the limited work he has accomplished
with the brush abundantly testifes to his
more than meritorious ability as an artist
So at Metzerott Hall, on Tuesday. Novem-
Der Ii, at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Mr..
Jefferson will give a talk on art to the
members of the Art Students League and
their friends, and the occasion Is being
looked forward TO with much qualification
by those whose good fortune it will be to
listen to him. Admission will be by invita-
ton only, and the event will probably be
the first important social happening of the
winter season. Mrs. Cleveland will occupy
one of the boxes.

latter spoke In a clear and impressive man
ner of tariff reform, pledging himself, II
elected. to adhere to the principles OF the
platform adopted by the convention which
nominated him. He was proud to say that
he was a natve-born Marylander, which
was more than could be said of his oppo-

A Horse Quarantine Against German

The embargo which GernaLy has just
placed against American cattle may have
a sequel which the German authorities have
not anticipated. viz, an investigation as 20
the glander and the disease known horse
syphilis, with which German horses brought
to this country are affected. Secretary Nor
ton called attention in his last annual re-
port to the lack of inspection of horses
coming from abroad, and suggested that it
would be well to provide for quarantining
horses. At that time there was such COM
ity between this country and those of Eu-
rope in the shipment of live stock that the
horse inspection vas not urged. Now, how
ever, with Germany closing her ports
against American cattle, the Secretary s
suggestions of protection against diseased
horses becomes pertinent.
