A GREAT MINSTREL SHOW.
The Field Minstrels Drew Big House
ana Gave Splendid Performance.

The Field Minstrels Drew Big House
and Gave Splendid Performance.
From the advance announcements oil
the AL. G. Field Minstrels the public
rightly expected something unusually
good in minstrelsy and there is no rea.
son TO doubt that the big audience at
the Grand opera house Wednesday
evening was fully satisfied with the
performance. Early IN the evening a
wind and rain STERN came up but sub
sided soon enough as tc not effect the
attendance materially. From the time
the curtain went up on the opening
part succession of pleasing events was
given, the curtain not being lowered
until the show was over. From the
first crash of the overture by the ex-
cellent orchestra the interest was not
allowed to wane for moment, the per-
formance being continuous. There
was an unusual amount of singing and
it was done 80 we'll and the songs were
so bright and catchy that it was all
enjoyed. The dances, aud it seemed as
though every member of the company
could dance, were immense and the
grotesque figures created much fun.
James Crosby was strong favorite in
his songs and various performances and
Harry Fiddler, the mimic, did clever
work. Prof. Sanders showed some
wonderfully we'll trained dogs and his
turn caught the favor of the people.
Marsh Craig, the boneless wonder,
performed some grea, feats in twisting
and balancing, and the performance
closed with travesty on the national
game of base ball. There is one thing
that is worthy of especial mention:
the costumes worn were rich in color
and style and made a great display.
Manager Gale made good move in
securing such good attraction and he
informs US that he has contracts for
others just as good but OF a different
nature

Delivers His First Lecsare.

TO THE PUBLIC:
On Sunday evening next at s p. m. l
shall deliver my first lecture at the
opera house. Subject, Five Minutes
After Death" In order that there
may be no misunderstanding I desire
to reiterate what | said in former
communication, that am an Ind.epend-
ent Congregational or Unitarian
minister, and that these lectures are
not given in interest of any special
phase OF liberal thought. The ques-
tlon has been raised as to whe ther I
am Spiritualist or not. I am not a
Spiritualist. To all our meetings and
services this winter we vite one and
all and ask all liberal people to join
with us in making the meetings s. sue
cess. Very truly yours,

CONCLUDED.
Danger Ahead.

A dense, dun cloud has arisen IN
the East. 1t portends a wide
spread and bitter warning OF ma
tons, and a E lropean cataclysm
of blood. It's immediate preciplta-
ton may be due to the uprising OF
the Cretan insurgents. the warllke
activity Of the Greeks in harmOney
with the Cretan proclamation OF
independence OF Turkey, and the
Sublime Porte's defiant prepara-
ton for war against the Graeco-
Cretan alliance; but these things
are the result Of causes which have
for many months been operating
to bring about an apparently IN
evitable climax. Peace may yet
he prolonged or even maintained,
but if the not improbable clash, OF
which the whole situation gives so
much promise, is not averted, the
whole of Europe may be plunged
INTO deadly and many sided ST. lie.
Thirty months ago the firsf repre-
sensations about the Sassoun
massacres were made to the Sultan.
For nearly two years since that
time the Ottoman empire has
threatened Europe as a dangerous
spark likely at any time to drop
into the diplomatic finder box of
the Old w orld. The present COM
pick situations cannot, therefore,
fail of commanding the closest at
tention of even the most remotely
interested observer .-Ex.

Assaults and kowdyfsHl.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t was with a chill of fear that read in
your last nights issue of the murderous
and cowardly assaults committed upon .
young lady Saturday night, and a gentle
man and lady cyclist Sunday night on the
Conduit road. II seems that in every issue
of our daily papers appears AN account Of
an assault, generally criminal, upon help
| less woman. L am woman and have a
daughter who is ardent wneelwoman
We anxious mothers dislike to deprive cur
daughters of this pleasure as well as
healthgivng exercise, but what are We go-
ing 10 do? These crimes continue undated,
the police appear 10 be helpless. and our
only safety seems to be TO close and lock
our doors when darkness sets in. These
rot and sultry nights We feel as though we
must get out and get some air. and the
suburban car lines are suggested. My
daughter and were unfortunate enough
10 be passengers on trailer 2tJ of the Cap
ital Traction Company's line coming in
from Chevy Chase last Tuesday night A
crowd of rowdies boarded the car from
The Glen Echo transfer. and Immediately
proceeded to make things disagreeable for
everybody. They rang the bell to their
hearts content, insulted the lady as well
as the gentlemen passengers. The coniuc-
tor was evidently afraid, for in response TO
request from one young man who WAS
being rather roughly handled, to make
them behave themselves. he took a posi-
ton upon the motor and stayed there.
They tore this young mans hat to pieces,
and young man upon the front of the
car, seeing the conductors evident coward
ice, stepped back to where the rowdies
were and spoke rather sharply to them.
The biggest bully Immediately took his hat
on and proceeded TO demolish it, but was
stopped by sharp blow in the mouth
from the strange young man, and then
they all proceeded to pile onto him. In he
meantime the car was stopped and The
rowdies jumped off for fear Of arrest. The
young man whose name l did not get and
who, by the way, appeared 10 he the only
man of the many on the car, though con-
siderably ruffied, appeared TO be not mn IN
hurt.
l speak of the above. because l want to
see remedy for these evils. Our daugh-
tiers cannot ride at night even with tn Fir
brothers for fear Of insult and assault.
Ladies cannot ride on the cars without
being witnesses to drunkenness and rowdy-

sons were sent out of the city, either 10
be entertained by friends or to board in a
quiet country home.
This is the first practical summer work

a Church Honor for Justice Brewer

"a Sh"FSh HOhor Tor Justice Brewer.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
1t is pretty certain that the Hon. Davi.1
]. Brewer. associate justice of the United
States Supreme Court, will be chosen sue
cessor to the Rev. DIR. Richard S. Storrs of
Brooklyn as president of the American
board of commissioners for foreign mis-
sions at the forthcoming annual meeting
of the board at New Haven in October
Last year the Rev. Dr. Stcrrs sought to re-
tire and Justice Brewer was-dise ussed by
some of the n.embers-o of the boa5H in case
Dr- storrs could nat- be plevaileS upon to
lemaln. Some objection to Justice Brewer
was encountered, because he had rot UP to
that time been actively identifid with the
work of the boards Foreseeing that DR..
Storrs would insist upon retiring at an
early date. the precaution was taken a the
meeting in Toledo last year to eleet Justice
Brewer q corporate member. Or. Storrs
consented to remain .anot her yeaG Now he
insists upon .rstirings andjt is thought GER
tain that Justice Brewer will be his sue
cessor. There is. traditional objection to
the election Of a layman, but I'D to his
time 10 clergyman of the right grade has
been found to whom any considerable num-
Der would consent to offer the position

sionery Association. These are President

". ". iio"oiu. IespectlVeiy., "A lew years
ago proposition to have a layman would
not have been considered by the American
board. and 1t will be the LAST of Congre-
gational societies to break away from the
precedent. Justice Brewer comes from an
old Congregational family, having been
himself born abroad, while his parents
were serving as smissionariess under this
same American board. It Is thought shat
Justice Brewer can be induced to accept
the election. since the duties of the Office
would not of necessity conflict efn af1y way
with the duties on the supreme bench.

DEALING IN SPURIOUS CON-
Counterfeit Silver Dollars Put in Circulation
in This City Yesterday.
The Detectives Searching for Three
Men known to Have Handled
the Bogus Money.

Two white men, thought to be Italians or
F'renchmen. and a colored man. are being
looked for by the police and secret service
men. They are suspected of making and
passing counterfeit silver dollars.
These three men Were seen together in
South Washington yesterday. and late i'm
the afternoon Policeman Peck learned that
one OF the white men had passed several
OF the counterfeit dollars dated Is.6
Inree saloons and cigar store had been
visited by one of the white men, and at
each place small purchase was made
and the change given without any uues-
ton. At Riordans, Seitz's and Lurig' $
saloons, respectively, the proprietors noticed
nothing wrong about the coins presented.
and readily accepted them. But when the
man called at Rockwells cigar store and
lunch room and presented one of the coins
the proprietor refused to accept it. For an
instant the customer pretended to be Of
tended. but he soon left the store and lost
no time IN getting out of the neighborhood.
Nnen Policeman Peck learned these bar
uculars he reported the matter to Lieut.
HollinberSer. and the latter made a report
10 Inspector Mattingly.
One Of the Men Described.
A description of one of the men was
teIephoned to the different stations. and
the police were notified to arrest him. Il
was impossible to get good descriptions of
the other white man and the coiored men,
Der of the trio.
The men had been i'm a number of places
along the river front. and the police expect
to hear that they have several other vic
TINS. 1t is the idea of the police that the
white men are Italians. for the reason
they say. that Italians are so extensively
engaged In this business. The colored man
they think, was with them to keep on tho
lookout for the police.
Fairly Good Counterfeft.
Lieut.. Hollinberger says the counterfeit
is fairly good one, except that the mill
ing is not as good as il might be. and this
gives them little rough appearance. Rut
they are bright and have a ring 10 them
that is calculated to deceive almost any
body.
The secret service detectives were potf
ned of the work Of these men, and they
are endeavoring to apprehend them

BERNARD SMITH DROWNED.
In Swimming With Companions and
Became Exhausted.

Bernard Smith. sixteen Yeas old. who
lived at No. 52i 10th street northwest. was
drowned in the river near the foot of I'D
street yesterday afternoon. The unfcrtu-
nate boy was in swimming with number
of companions and it is thought he became
exhausted and was unable to keep up. His
body was found a few minutes after his
companions missed him, and was removed
to the morgue in the patrol wagon. Cor
oner Carr was notified, but as the boys
death was accidental, no inquest was held.
