devilie entertainment, the Irwin Brothers
can be depended upon to make good. Such
experienced caterers to public taste always
Please and this seasons company that
orened at kernan's last night is better than
the one of last year. Billy Ballauf, the
erstwhile popular treasurer of kernans, is
the manager of the company, and his ar
rangement of the program and handling Of
the burlesques reflect great credit upon
Lis managerial ability. At both perform
arces yesterday good audiences were on
hand and it Is predicted the business for
the week will be the best of the season.
The olio opened with an acrobatic turn
by Bailey & Madison. Many new tricks
were exploited. kessner & Reid mixed the
muses. and were acceptable. Carver & Pol

serving adverse criticism and their contri-

feature of the program was the work ct

THE DE PACHMANN RECITAL.-To-
| morrow afternoon at the Columbia Theater
| at 4:15 o'clock the great Russian pianist.
| Vladimir De Pachmann, will give his first
| recital In this city. The sale of seats has
| been most satisfactory, and the great plan
| list is already assured of a royal welcome
| here.
| De Pachmann is a pianist that does not
| force tone to obtain striking contrast but
| makes his effects by exquisite graduations
| of tone, all of which are within the natural
| scheme of color. And, indeed, he is such a
master Of color that you are first inclined
| to overlook the fact that he Is also a most
| cunning draughtsman and. furthermore,
| such is the extreme quality of his fingers,
| so highly developed in his technic, that in
| the astounding case of his performance
| you often are slow to recognize the mans
| remarkable mastery of detail, and the in
finite pains taken by him to make each
inch of gorgeous canvas contribute to over
| Whelming effect. The program will include
| Won Wehers Sonata, in A fiat six Schu-
| mann selections, Mendelssohn's Rondo Ca
| priccioso and six Chopin numbers These
! comprise the second Impromptu, in F sharp
! major, three preludes. three etudes. Ma
| Zurka, In minor; Valse, in A fiat, and
the third Scherzo in c sharp minor

! MISS PITTS LECTURE.-The excellent
| lecture on The Organization of the English
| church. given last evening by Miss Eva NJ.
| Pitts at the Washington College of Law, fol-
| loved two distinct lines-the separation of
| the Celtic from the Romish Church as a
| result of the decision of the council of
| Whitby, and second, the great influence
| OF the monasteries the civilization of
| early England. The Importance of the de-
| cision of the council of Whitby depended
| upon the fact that it gave to national de-
| velopment the unity and concerted action
| of the Roman Church as opposed to the
| clannish disruption and lack Of co-Opera
| ton OF the Celtic, a change which reflected
| Itself In all the after political life OF Eng
| l&nd. with reference to the monasterieS,
| the lecturer said that the service they had
| rendered in preserving and in fostering the
| spirit of culture industry and of humani-
| tarianism Is incalculabIe. They were the
| homes in those unsettled times not alone Of
| plous secluslon, but the centers OF untirtns
| effort in regard to all most vital to progress
