ADJUSTMENTS.

Aliens Grand Opera House.-The per-
Torrance OF "Magda" by Sarah Bernhardt
at the Grand Opera House last night gave
an opportunity for comparison with the
work of Nine. Duse in the same role. The
chance was embraced by but few, however.
The splendid work of the tragedienne, COM
ing. as her season does, or the heels Of a
purse-depleting series of operate perform
ances, has failed to find the acknowledge
ment which is undoubtedly her due as an
artist "Magda" is a great play; its fearful
intensitieS are such as to leave nothing to
&c desired In the way of opportunities for
emotional display. Beruhardts personality
Is so charmingly familiar that it needs. no
description. 1t asserts itself in all the
varying moods of her immense repertoire
OF characters, and her caressing Voice, her
magnetic eyes and panther-Iike poses in
vest her with a fascination that few real
lovers of the drama have failed to exper-
fence. She Is an honest exponent Of her
art, too, for her company is a good ore,
and her stage settings seldom fall short of
the best that the occasion could utilize.
Her 'Magda" was powerful imrersona-
ton. and gave the audience picture of a
flesh-ard-hlood woman whom the auditor
can understand. and with whom he can
sympathize. The performance of Nj. OAR
front was notably excellent.
New National Theater.-"The Notorious
Mrs. Ebbsmith'' is four-act dramatic
creation by Mr.. Arthur w. Pinero Of Eng
land, who has written some of the best
things on the stage at present. and. one is
almost tempted to say, some of the wcrst.
Just where Mrs EbbSmith'' comes in
must be left to the judgment of a discrimi-
mating public. That it is a strong play is
not to be questioned, but force is not al
ways pleasant, nor is it always popular
AS presented by Mr.. John Hare and his
company last night at the National, it
could scarcely have been better done, yet
as the curtain went down the last time, the
audience rose up ready to go after the
Ebbsmithness; they wanted fresh air. Tie
character Of Mrs. Ebbsmith Well done
by Miss Julia NelsonNery well done
overdone, one might say, yet it could
scarcely be otherwise, from Miss Neilsol's
conception OF the character Mr.. Terry
the man in tie case, was good. Mr.. Hare
was CLEAN of sunshine in great shadow.
AS the old duke. he was cynical, cheerful
and charming to the audience. Another
bit of brightness was Miss May Harvey's
Mrs. Thorpe. All the actors were equally
praiseworthy. The setting of the stage in
the first three acts a room in Venetian
palace, was a beautiful creation in carving
and marble.

The Sioux Delegation.

The members of the Sioux delegation
from Pine Ridge, now in the city, are nat
urally indignant because of newspaper as
serton that two members of the party were
arrested Wednesday for intoxication. That
two Indians were arrested is undoubtedly
the case, but that they were not Sioux In
dams is certain, for at the time when the
drunken red men were being gathered into
the first precinct station the Pine Ridge
delegation was engaged in attending to the
Official business, which brought them to
Washington. Those who have had to do
with Little Wound, Kicking Bear. Capt.
Thunder Bear, George Fire Thunder and
the Interpreter, Philip Wells, are unani-
nous In declaring that no body of Indians
or white men ever behaved more circum-
specify in this city than have these repre-
sentatives of the Pine Ridge Sioux. The
delegation itself and its friends in Wash
ington regret very much that the miscon-
duct of other Indians VINO are here at this
drunkenness against the Sioux.
Last evening reception was rendered
the delegates at the residence of Mr. AL
lison Nailor. During the evening a num-
Der of Washingtonians made the acCuaint-
ance of the Indians at Mr.. Majors home,
and at the Hotel La Fetra, where the In.
dams have had quarters during their stay
in this city.
Having succeeded in doing some of the
business which brought them to Washing
ton, the delegates propose to leave for the
west tomorrow morning.

DEATH OF FANC1s e. KAUFMAN.
One of the Oldest Residents of the
City Passes Away.

One of the Oldest Residents Of the
City Passes Away.
Mr.. Francis E. Hauptman one of the old
est residents of Washington, died at an
early hour this morning, at his residence,
4O7 18th street. In his day Mr.. Hauptman
was prominent man in affairs in this city,
but for ten or a dozen years past he had
lived very quiet and retired life. He had
been gradually failing for about year, and
his death was not unexpected.
The Hauptmans were one of the old-time
families of the city. Back in the 3O's they
occupied comfortable home on the site of
the new post Office, but upward of fifty years
ago they moved to the 18th street house. In
those days the firm was Daniel Hauptman
q Sons, and they were known as the leading
timers here. The roofs on a majority of the
old houses of Washington were put on by
the Hauptmans Francis E. Hauptman was
one of the eldest Of eleven children, of
whom there are now but three living. For
upward of a half century he occupied the
old-fashioned brick dwelling, one of those
relics of past generation in the business
section of the city which have withstood the
advances OF progress. A brother and q sis
ter lived with him. Their mode of life was
comic rtable. though unpretentious. and the
furnishings were all of the style of gen.
GRAFTON or two ago.
Mr.. Hauptman was in the seventy-fourth
year of his age. He never married, and dur
ing his long and active life he acquired a
good deal Of property. A few years ago he
sold the piece of land at the southwest cor
ner of 11th and G streets for $50 900, many
times what he paid for it originally At the
time OF his death he owned considerable real
estate In different parts of the city. He was
one of the oldest members of the Foundry
NJ r. Church. and was charitable in an un-
ostentatious way. The funeral services will
probably be held at the house some time
next Monday. The interment will be made
at Oak Hill cemetery.

JUNIOR ENDEAyORERs.
Preparing for Their Share In the July
Convention.

The superintendent of the Junior Chris,
tan Endeavor Union had meeting recent
ly, at which they arranged plans for their
share in the coming convention. The juniors
as body will not take any separate part
In the convention except on the afternoon
of one day. probably Saturday, which will
be devoted to big junior rally similar. to
the one conducted SO successfully at Bos-
ton In prepare ton for this their program
VIII be largely made up of exercises pre-
pared by Mrs. Hill, a prominent junior
worker. A portion of this exercise will be
performed by forty-eight young girls,
dressed in white with colored sashes. and
carrying flags of the different nations. The
class will march through various evolutions.
which will be interspersed with the singing
of patriotic songs and others. Other num-
bers on the program will consist of religious
exercises and addresses, but, with the ex-
cept1on OF the address of welcome from a
local junior, the trustees of the United So
ciety will have charge of the rest of the pro-
gram. The music during the afternoon is
to be rendered entirely by juniors, even to
the instrumental music. and this is expected
to be a prominent feature of the convention
There is already in process Of formation a
choir to be formed of five hundred of the
juniors, boys and girls. So far as possible
these singers will receive as much training
they can on the music separately but a
little later they will be all collected, together
and drilled several times by Percy S. Foster,
who will also conduct them. This vocal
music will be supplemented by instrumental
music by a junior orchestra.
1t has been found that quite number of
the youngsters are quite proficient on sew
eral instruments, notably the violin, cornet
and drum. The same plan will be used in
training the orchestra as in the chorus; that
is, the music is to be practiced by the mem
bers separately, and then have a number
of drills together later on. A large number
of performers are needed.
There are in the District of Columbia fiftv
junior Endeavor societies, with several more
In process of formation so that when the
convention meets more than 1900 juniors
will take part, representing this city alone.
AS preparation for the convention the con-
dition of the societies is being helped by a
series of inter-visitation now going on. the
program of which for the rest of this month
is as follows: March 49, Zion Baptist visit

AN APPEAL FOR TEMPERANCE.
Rev. Father Cleary's Lecture at the
Catholic University Yesterday.

Rev. Father Cleary's Lecture at the
Catholic University Yesterday.
The lecture delivered yesterday evening
at the Catholic University had for it's title
Temperance Work Of This Country and
Age" and the speaker was Rev. Father
Cleary, president of the Catholic Total Alb
stinence Union in America. Father Cleary
has spoken before this winter on this SUBJ
ject, and. despite the weather, there was
good attendance. The lecturer opened
with remarks about this country as being
so free and liberal in all its advantages,
and yet with all these opportunities offered
to the young men, they cloud their brains
with poisonous spirits, which make them
unfit and unworthy of accepting such adj
vantages. Father Cleary called attention
to the liquor trade which Is protected by
the government and a source Of revenue to
the country. This he considered as a crime
and shame to the country.
The speaker then traced the growth of
intemperance and the efforts to check this
vice from the time Of the first settlers.
These people, he said, were sober and
thrifty, having sought refuge in this coun-
try to enjoy that freedom they were denied
at home. But 1t was as early as 1893 that
We find a law for the punishment of drunk
enness. A few years later the drinking of
good health was forbidden, and then
there was law passed ordering liquors to
be seized when found in private houses. In
1851 the first brewery was established in
the colonies. Father Cleary also spoke of
the various acts of the legislature regu-
latfng fines for drunkenness and the abuse
OF spirits. The Jesuits in Canada forbade
the whites giving any liquor to the Indians.
who accordingly went to the Dutch Of New
York for their fire water
The lecturer told how, later on, rum was
introduced in the colonies, and soon be-
came chief article of trade. The drink

despite the efforts of the Continental Con-
gress and legislatures.
Father Cleary spoke of the different re-
formers of this early age, and how during
the eighteenth century organizations were
formed which planted the seed of the great
work which is going on today. He spoke of
the good and earnest work of Benjamin
FRANKLIN, John Adams and Israel Putnam
The lecturer said that the right chord was
left for this age to strike. The people in
those days had tried moderation when it
should have been total abstinence.
rather Cleary pointed out the great sin
and evil of liquor, how 1t has brought
about ruin, desolation and poverty. The
latter part of the lecture was devoted to a
review of Catholic temperance work Father
Mathew and his work and the trials of a
temperance agitator were largely spoken
Of. In closing. Father Cleary appealed to
the students Of the university for their
support In this great work. He told them
that they were soon to enter the arena of
life. but not In a condition.. he hoped, to be
unworthy of the advantages offered by this
fair country Of ours. He appealed to them
to promote and exemplify Christian So
