Death of DR.. N. G. Clarke.

Rev. Nathaniel George Clarke, d. D.,
LII. D., one of the most eminent clergy
men of this country and for nearly thirty
years prominently identified with the man
agement of the American Board of Foreign
Missions, died at his home on Mount Yer
non street, West Roxbury, Mass, last Fri
day, of form of heart disease aggravated
by his advanced age and enfeebled condi-
ton. Dr. Clark was born in Calais Janu-
airy IS, 1925, and was graduated from the
University of Vermont in 1915. He was
tutor there in 1S49 and 1850. Then he
studied geology at Andover and Auburn,
and was graduated from the latter place in
1852. Then he became professor of Eng
fish literature in the University of Vermont
and was there until 1868. The latter part
of his stay in the university he was also
professor of Latin. From the university
he went to Union college, where he was
professor of logic, rhetoric and English lit
erature until 1865, when he was called to
the service of the American board to help
the then foreign secretary, Rev. Dr. Rufus
Anderson, who had occupied the desk ever
since 1882. Drs. Anderson and Clark
worked together for year, and then the
full burden fell upon DR.. Clark. DR.. Clark
was given the degree of d. ID. by Univer-
sity of Vermont.

Opera House Tomorrow Night.

"Old Glory" is a sensational comedy
drama which was first produced at the
Bowdoin Square theatre, Boston, last
season. This play is from the pens OF
Charles Il. Vincent and William A. Brady,
and has been so constructed as to permit
of lavish display of elaborate scenery
and to enable each scene, climax and effect
to be historically correct. The principal
scenes shown and which are features of
the production are: Fete time in Valpa-
raise by moonlight, during which CHILEAN
mob make an attack on the Z. S. Consul
ate in their cndeavor to tear down the
Stars and Stripes the relighting Of the
beacon by the heroine, which she accom-
plishes by travelling hand over hand in
mid-air on single rope from the shore,
and the exciting and thrilling battle at sea
between the L. S. S. Baltimore" and the
Gillian cruiser ''Itata.' Recognizing the
fact that no production can be too strongly
cast, manager Brady has engaged the best
company possible, who will be seen in able
rendition Of their several parts.

entered one Of the largest mercantile es-
Establishments in town. and is now the buy
er for one of its important departments
All his life he has been an attendant at the
Calvary Baptist Church, for a number of
years he has served as assistant secretary
OIL It's Sunday school, and is an eX-president
Of its Christian Endeavor Society Mr.,
Everett is genial and popular. and his ap-
poin:rnent as chief of ushers is regarded as
a particularly good one.
The members of his committee are Wal
ter N. Weston, vice chairman, Calvary
Baptist Church: James B. Lackey, secre-
tary, Western Presbyterian Church: Rob-
ert H. Young. Mount Pleasant Congrega-
tional Church; Washington Topham, Me-
mortal United Brethren Church; Albert
Speiden. First Baptist Church; W. H AS
PinWah' Church Of the Covenant: Leidy S.
Depue, Western Presbyterian Church, and
Robert Leetch, West Street Presbyterian
Church.
The ushers' committee consists entirely
OF young men, and they will be kept busy
only will they officiate at the tents and at
central Hall, but at every Christian En-
deavor meeting, wherever held, it is in
tended that they shall be in charge of the
seating arrangements.
ATTRACTIVE uniforms will be worn by
tnem. In addition to the skull cap with
the word Usher in gilt letters on the
band, it is expected that the ushers will be
uniformly dressed in some combination Of
the convention colOrs, as, for instance
white duck trousers blue serge coats and
red sashes Such a costume would be very
suitable and comfortable during the July
days, and would it is believed, make an at
tractlVe, distinguishing unifoam.
Al present there are about 600 members
OF Mr.. Everett's subcommittee but it is
stated at headquarters that this number is
too small to do all the work that will be
required, and it will probably be increased
to LOCO.

D. Bliss. Calvary Baptist Church; Fred w.
Bacchus, First Congregational Church, and
Z. Is. Ball of the same church.
Mr.. Church. the chairman, is a we'll
known business man of this city and is
identified with several Of the financial in
terests of the community. Since his early
toyhood his church home has been at the
Westminster Presbyterian Church. He has
filled many offices in various organizations
in this church. and is now president of it's
Christian Endeavor Society. He brings to
his position as chairman of one of the i'm
portant '96 committees the earnest en-
thusiaSm of an active Endeavorer, as well
as practical business knowledge.
Considerable work has already been ac-
complished by this committee, which. un-
like most of the other '96 bodies has no
auxiliary band of workers. Not only have
the two huge tents. which were used last
year in Boston for places of meeting, been
secured for this years convention, but an
additional tent of like dimensions with the
others has been contracted for, and will be
utilized. The committee will look after the
arrangements for seating on the platforms,
each of which will be built to accommodate
about 200 persons. Provision will have to
be made for 500 invited guests, and twenty
five seats will be reserved for the speakers
The remaining space on the platforms will
be reserved for the sections of the choir.
Tie hall committee will look after the
proper lighting Of :he tents and the
grounds about them. will provide for one
or more lunch tents where light refresh
mentS may De OBTAINED, ana Will arrange
for a hospital tent, where persons taken
suddenly Ill may secure prompt and eff
cient medical attention.
But as the three mammoth canvas in
closures will be insufficient for the purposes
Of the ntion, the hall committee Will
see that several churches are properly pre-
pared for the overfiows. Central Hall over
Center market has been engaged, and will
be fitted up for place of meeting.
The Washington Light Infantry Armory
has been secured by the committee, aud in
it will be erected booths and tables for ex-
hibits of the denominational boards and
for the distribution of literature. The city
newspapers will be provided suitable con-
veniences in this hall for receiving sub
scriptions and taking orders for convention
issues, and during the convention season
Evening star., 1896-04-11

pleted it is possible that the number of SER
vices may be considerably larger; certain
it is the number will not he less than at
present contemplated. To provide suitable
meeting places where the thousands of dele
gates to the convention may attend these
many services is the care of a subdivision
of local workers-the hall committee
whose chairman, w. A. II. Church, is
member Of that band of twelve who have
charge of all the arrangements for the con-
vention, the committee of 96.
Beside the chairman. the other members
of this committee are Geo. E. Barber, sec
retary, Ryland NJ. E. Church: E. T. Fem
