Acndemy-"Tncle Tom. Cabin ~

Al w. Martin s presentation of Uncle
Toms Cabin" occupied the stage las. night
at the Academy. and produced a certain
amount OF happiness in a somewhat ton
heavy audience. Like the minstrel show
and the clowns jokes at the circus. this

honor old age.
The present company is not particu-
iarly good one. and the costumes and seen
cry are worse than the company Milt G..
Barlow heads the combination in the title
role, and he is one of the many COON
impersonators who need to learn that some
thing besides burnt cork and a dialect is
required to make an artistic delineator of
darky character. The peculiar richness
OF the voice OF the real negro is a thing
which few white actors can initiate with
out trying. and most of them do not try.
The same observations apply to the Topsy
Of Stella Thompson. though her work is
amusing and lively. at any rate. The peo-
pie in the organization who come the
nearest to real acting are those seen as
the st. Clare family. Legree, Classy, and
Emeline. William Corbett as ST. Clare
and Hattie Laurent, as Marie, are shining
examples Of the fact that even in a troupe
Of rank melodramatists 1t is not necessary
to be contaminated. Their efforts are quiet
and artistic, while Little Helene, as Eva,
is also fairly good. Julia Gilmore looks
the part Of Classy thoroughly. and does as
we'll as anyone could with lines SO absurd
and unnatural. The same may be said of
Charles Lane. the Legree. The colored
members Of the cast are OF only average
ability. though some of their dancing is
fair. specially introduced during an in
termission is that Of T. F. Kenney, baton
juggler, whose twirling is the best seen
here this season.

Birthday Party Concert,

A birthday party that included a concert
and dance was an attraction that crowded
Gonzaga Hall last night from its stage to
the doors. The affair was arranged Ly a
committee OF ladies and gentlemen, to add
to the fund needed for the redecoration
OF the interior Of st. Aloysius Church, and
the unprecedented success OF their efforts
gave indisputable proof that the congre-
CATION realize the necessity of the i'm
provement and are generously determined
to contribute their share. rather comical
feature Of the entertainment was the Of
fering by the audience OF small silk bags
filled with as many pennies as each was
willing to own to birthdays A diplomatic
clause in the committees request made it
lawful for the guests to add to the tell
tale coppers as many more as they would
like to attain years of wisdom. which saved
embarrassment all around and added to
the fund a goodly showing Of greenbacks.
The programme. which was unusually
clever and interesting, was con-
tributed by mandolin club COM
posed Of Miss Minnie Gentner, Miss C.
Wurdeman, Miss L. A. Monthrop. Miss A.
Wurdeman, and Miss A. Clifton; Mr..

Papers Read Before the Columbia

Two very interesting papers were read
last evening before the members Of the
Columbia Historical Society, which held
its fortieth meeting in the banquet hall
of the Shoreham.
The first paper was by DIR. Marcus Ben
iamin. of the National Museum. whose
subject was "Braddocks Rock" in the
rear OF the old United States Naval OBJ
servatory. DIR. Benjamin quoted extracts
from General Braddock's orderly book and
the diary of Captain Orme TO prove that
II was the first landing place in this vi
cinity Of the English troops in the disas-
trous campaign Of the colonial war of 1855.

Large Attendance at the Birthda,
Party,

The parIshioners of St. Aloysius parish
turned out in large numbers to attend the
birthday party given last evening at Con-
zaga Hall for the benefit Of the church.
The entertainment was given for the pur-
pose OF raising funds to defray the ex-
pense Of improving and decorating the in
terior of st. Aloysius Church. and it was
expected that all who attended would
contribute as many pennies for this pur-
pose as they were years Of age. The spa
cious auditorium and the galleries Of the
great hall were crowded to overflowing,
and the only reason there were not twice
as many pennies donated as actually were
was because there were a great number OF
persons who could not get into the hall
During the evening programme of mu-
