Measures Necessary to Prevent Sacri-
flee of w. c. II. U. Building.
Much interest is felt in Washington among
members of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union regarding the effort now be-
ing made to keep the headquarters build
ing of the order in Chicago out of the
hands OF the sheriff, calamity which has
Teen threatened for some time past, and
which it is feared will occur unless the
sum OF $4,000 can be secured by them pre-
vious to January l, 1893.
To do this is mighty task, but many
of those most directly interested in the VIC.
T.U. believe it can be accomplished. Mrs.
Matilda &. Carse, at whose suggestion the
building was erected, has taken personal
charge of the matter and Miss Francis
Willard is aiding her. Mr.. Marshall Field
of Chicago has started the ball rolling with
a subscription of so, 600, and many smaller
sums are coming in
In a recent letter to a correspondent here
Miss Willard said of the work of the w. c.
7. U. and its headquarters building:
'In 1888 we had what we called round
up 1t was then decade since the organ
iZation was established, and in that year
every state and territory of the fifty SUBJ
divisions of the nation was visited and con-
ventions held in many, so that there has
rot been from that time a single section in
which we had not at least the outline of
an organization, not only local, but state
several states in the south and territories
beyond the Rockies and Sierras that had
not been brought into the fold. --
About the year 1888 Mrs. Carse began
planning for the erection of building that
should be not only the headquarters of the
national society, but should furnish by
means of rentals large sum with which
to carry on the work. The procuring cause
of this determination on her part was the
fact that our good brothers of the Y. M.
c. A, who had given us the free use of
Farwell Hall for Gospel temperance meet.
ing daily, decided that they could no longer
harbor such a motley throng as gathered
there, ard so gave US notice to quit. Mrs.
Carse then said, We will have a home of
our own to which we can bring any who
will come, and we will have some settled
means of securing money for the work
The crying need Of our society was more
financial ability to develop the different
departments and to build the work in state
and nation. Owing to the great value of
ground in Chicago it was necessary, in Or
der to make ours a paying investment. to
put up a handsome fireproof building, the
cornerstone of which IVES laid November
I. 1890, and completed May 1. 1892. When
it is paid for and all the offices that 1t con-
tains rented. it will give the w. c. T.
U. net income of not less than 100000
year"

was crowded, among the audience being
several ladies. The case was given TO the
jury in the evening, and after several hours
OF consultation they reported to the court
that they were unable to agree. and were
discharged. There was a sharp exchange
of words at one time between counsel for
the prosecution and defense. In which some
OF the witnesses were handled without
gloves, but before an acute stage was
reached it was promptly silenced by the
court.
Another case was tried yesterday against

ADJUSTMENTS.

THE BURNT CORK CLUB.-The annual
performance of the Burnt Cork Club, given
at Odd Fellows Hall last night, drew one
of the largest audiences that has ever visit
ed that hall on a similar occasion The
program was highly enjoyable and the first
part and afterpiece, together with the good
specialties furnished by the members of the
club, drew round after round of applause.
The first part, new conceit, took well and
gave opportunities for the display of some
very good singers, VINO sang popular songs
and comic numbers until it seemed the au-
dience would not be satisfied, no matter
how much was offered up to them. Harry
l.. Shackelford and Howard A. Graham
as the comedians, kept every one Ia a roar
during the entire part. Those who fur
nished vaudeville turns were Milton
Clark, a whistler of exceptional ability and
promise; the Del Rays, acrobats Of a high
order of merit; Frank Howard and Harry
Leigh, in novel and grotesque contortion
turn; the Burnt Cork Club Quartet, which
sang a number of exceptionally good songs
with splendid effect, and others. Those
who furnished songs in the first part were
Messrs. Byron Ross Wise, Charles shack
elford, Harry Gunan, Will Mells E. Key
ser. Berney Burnside and Will Collier.
Steve Clements, the well-known banjoist,
played a number of selections and received
a warm welcome, while Henry Hills gave
an exhibition of baton swinging that has
not been surpassed in Washington. The
entertainment concluded with an original
afterpiece, entitled Miss Lucy's Lawn
Party" in which the entire strength of the
company was brought out. At the conclu-
sion of the program the floor was cleared
and dancing was Indulged in Until a late
hour.
"ONE ROUND OF PLEASURE"-Jf
there is any virtue in the most sensational
musical climax ever seen upon our stage,
Zone Round OF Pleasure" which comes to
the Lafayette Square Theater week after
next, has the advantage of that possess
sion. Almost at the concluding moment
of the spirited first act Moneyton Burn, m
the midst of the revels at his mansion,
announces that he has a surprise in store
no other than the Introduction of the
March King" John Philip Sousa. At that
moment Walter Jones. disguised as the
perfect counterpart of Sousa, appears upon
the scene, his breast blazing with medals
and his arm swinging with that magnetic
stroke that carries the Sousa audiences
away to the strains Of his music The en-
tire company faces the left of the stage, and
to the march. Behold Ell CAPTAIN" that
doughty hero is commanded to appear. In
stantly, his gigantic figure, with martial
strides comes to the front of the stage,
and the stirring strains of lei Captain
lead into the swelling and inspiring music
of the STARS and Stripes" This IS the
signal for the waving Of silken flags Of red,
white and blue. which Is a veritable sea Of
patriotic color, and which arouses the au-
dience to an outburst of cheering and
fervor that Is remarkable in a theater. The
effect is electrical, and the most subdued
auditor Is carried away by the enthusiasm
Of the moment.
