MR. wENOELsCHAEfEEs BENEFIT


The testimonial rendered by the Will
bur opera company TO Treasurer Eu-
gene T.. Wendelschaefer OF the Provi-
dence opera house yesterday was a big
success. In the afternoon and evening
the theater was crowded and Mr.. Wen
delschaefer must have been thoroughly
satisfied with the results. For the pa
irons OF the theater during the past
few weeks the occasion was one OF sin
cere regret, for seldom in Providencs
has IL been possible for the people TO
hear SO many tuneful and merry operas
The patronage throughout tho entire
season has been such as TO show that
the general public Hikes and Is willing
TO generously support such fine class
of entertainment. Last night the COM
pany gave "The Black Hussar" and
the cast was substantially the same as
on previous occasions when the same
opera was given.
All the principals received very warm
welcomes when they came upon rho
stage last evening and they Gang and
acted with all possible snap. Miss
Laughlin received a very long and loud
applause in her songs and recitation
and SO did Little Gabriel Both tbank
ed the audience in a pleasing manner
Mr.. AL Lamar's illustrated songs we're
received with even more favor. if such
was possible.
The chorus did excellent work last
night, and the pretty trios, duets and
solos of the opera We're charminglv
given and in every instance We're en-
cored. The applause during the even
ing was remarkably hearty and when
the time for the final curtain came The
audience became remarkably enthusf-
astic Miss Richardson. who has made
probably as many friends as any ladv
who has ever appeared upon the opprs
house stage came forward when tho
opera was finished and stated She had
been selected by the company To bid
generous friends good bye. Miss Rich
ards0n chose her words very prettilv
and they had the ring Of sincerity I'm
them. She thanked the management
the stage hands, the press and the nub-
lie. and her remarks were lnost gra
ciously received At her suggsstior ~.
audience Joined the company in stng-
ing Aud Lang Syne. The chorn,
was interrupted by the presentation 30
a handsome bouquet, which she vor,
graciously turned over 10 Miss Robjn-
son. The curtain had 10 be raised
many times in order 10 satisfy the am
dlence. and the company under tbs

three cheers for Providence and ono -,

SHAMROCK TAKEN TO ERIE BASIN.
Work Of OismautIIng Her esgun Preparatory to
Gony Into orr Dock.

New York. Aug. 22.-The Shamrock's s
tender. the steam yacht Erin. Is in dry
dock AT the Erie basin. but just when
the Shamrock will be docked no one is
prepared to say. at least not for publi-
cation. Much OF the same secrecy that
has marked her building has apparent
iy clung 10 her in spite of her 3Joo-mile
voyage.
Not an American except myself
steps aboard the Shamrock" was Mr..
David Barries utterance. Being Sir
Thomas Lipton's representative here,
he probably speaks officially.
The Shamrock left her anchorage at
Tompkinsville. s. L.. shortly after $3.50
o'clock yesterday morning for Erie basin
in tow of the tug James A. Lawrence.
and arrived there at 10 O'Clock. She
anchored in the basin about 20 feet off
the new dock. The tug Champion drew
alongside OF her and the work of dis
mantling began.
All along the route TO the basin she
was saluted by every kind OF craft. and
she returned the salutations by dipping
the Engl sh naval reserve ensign. which
she carried on her mizzenmast.
The work OF removing her sea going
t0gs will take all to-day and on We'd
nssday IL is expected she will be dry
docksd and scrape' and then her rae
f'cg spars and ge Will be put in place
The spars arrived on the Champion
yesterday and were put in the long
cockhouse.
David Barrie said: II received cables
from Sir Thomas Upton expressing his
high appreciation of the treatment ac-
corded the Shamrock and her crew and
his represe ntatives by the people of the
United States in general"
Regarding the alleged narrow escape
of the Shamrock, Mr.. Barrie said: THE
report that the Shamrock was nearly
run down on two occasions rs not true.
She was in no danger at any time, al
though the excursion steamers did
come nearer to her once or twice than
would wish them to come again.
when the Erin comes out of dry
dock she'll coal up for cruising. and
when Sir Thomas arrives he will prob
ably take a trip in her down the coast"

EXCURSIONS.

Tomorrow will be another of those muSi-
cal Sundays at River View, the occasion
being the annual outing of the Germania
Mannerchoir, and the day will be given up
10 mirth and music. A carefully selected
vocal program of fourteen numbers from
the German masters will be rendered by
the full chorus of the Mannerchor. AS an
additional attraction, Prof. Naeikers fine
concert band has been engaged to render
concert music, and the River View OrcheS-
ira. under the leadership of Prof. Chris.
Arth, jr.. will also be heard in concert. The
music lovers of Washington Will find rare
treat in store for them should they visit
the View on Sunday next. Besides the mu-
sic there will be found plenty to amuse one
at the View in the chute, the flying horses
and other attractions. The steamer Pentz
in order to accommodate the large crowd
expected, will make three trips at 1915
a M, 2:45 and 5:45 pm, and if the crowd
should be so large that one boat cannot
handle 1t the Esteiie Randall will be pressed
into service. Tickets can be had at the
wharf.
Visitors who come to our national peace
jubilee no doubt will want to visit Mount
Vernon. the home and tomb of Washing
ton. The quickest and most historic route Is
by the elegant iron steamer Charles Mac
alester which built expressly for this
service. This route, with only one hour s
running time in either direction, and the
dellgHtful sail down the Potomac, gives the
visitor an opportunity to see Arlington, AL
eXandria, Fort FCote and the modern forti-
ffcations. Fort Washington and Fort Hunt.
The steamer leaves eth street wharf every
week day at 10 am. and 1 As pm, return
ing due to arrive at Washington at 40
and 5:15 pm.
One never knows how good planked shad
can be until this delicious fish is enjoyed
at Marshall Hall. At least that is the opin-
ion of those who have taken the sail down
the Potomac and had one of those famous
planked shad dinners that Marshall Hall is
50 celebrated for. These dinners are fast
gaming most enviable reputation for
strangers in the city who have spent Sun
@ay at Marshall Hall are loud in their
praises of the good things to eat that are
served with the planked shad dinner Clam
cnoWder is another dish that should be
eaten at Marshall Hall to be fully appre-
GATED. Sundays dinner will surpass all
that have bee1 given, and will be served on
the arrival of the boat. Steamer Charles
WAC alester will make two trips tomorrow.

Against Exhibiting the Lincoln I

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
L quite agree with your correspondent.
Mr. Cromwell, in his patriotic protest pub
hshed in your issue of the 18th, against
having the exhibits of the trial of those
connected, and those supposed to be con-
nected, with the assassination of President
Lincoln turned over to the National Mu-
scum. With Mr. Cromwell l regard the
suggestion as a sacrilegious one. 1t is an
act that should, and no doubt will receive
the stamp of condemnation from every pa
tflot1c Grand Army man in the country
PORTIONS of Mr. IincoinS skull and the in
StfumentS of his assassination should never
be permitted to become objects to BE gazed
at in museum. Truly, the very thought
of such a thing is repulsive, CHASTITY and
sacrllegious to the mind of a patriot. Gen.
AlSer, the Secretary of War, is an old vet
efan himself, and it can not be possible
that he Will give his consent to such an act
Besides these considerations, which are
enough for any patriotic mind, these ex-
hlDlts have, 1t is understood, been classed
with the archives of the War Department
and should not, under any consideration, be
permitted to be removed from them. If it
be determined that they be placed where
the respectful public can see them, then let
it be in a case, placed somewhere in the
War Department. But in a museum?
Never,
