NO MORE MEETINGS TILL FALL.
lexington Citizens Have a Short
and Quiet Conference.

During the hot weather of the coming
summer the members of the North Capt.
tol and lexington Citizens Association
will dispense with their regular monthly
meetings The last one of the season was
held at the United Brethren Church,
North Capitol and r Streets, last night.
Little business of Importance was tran
sacted. From the report of the secretary
it was found that the association was in
debt to the extent of about $50. Unpaid
dues amount to about $3.50. The executive
committee was instructed to take steps
for the collection OF this sum so that the
outstanding indebtedness could be dis
charged.
c. w. Henderson, President of the asso-
citation, was in the chair and A. c. Ting
ley acted as secretary. Several COM
plIints regarding the condition of side
walks and the excessive growth of weeds
were made and referred to the Commit
tee on Sidewalks and Streets.
Meetings of this association without
one complaint of the street car service
in that section are rare. Last nights
meeting, however, was one of the eXcep-
tions. The service on the North Capitol
Street line is reported by people living
on that thoroughfare to be satisfactory,
the cars running at intervals of about
seven minutes. On the City and Suburban
line, where many members of the Citizens
Association live, the service Is reported
good only at the hours of day when
traffic is heaviest,

SHIRT WAISTS NOT BARRED.
First of the Season Appears at the
White House.

A coatless youth of twenty appeared
yesterday in the first shirt waist to be
seen at the White House this season. He
was the object of much interest and envy
It was a loose-fitting and comfortable
looking garment of madras with broad
stripes of pink and white. The youth
was cool and comfortable looking. Not
a drop Of perspiration moistened his brow
as he tripped up the walk and entered the
mansion. The policemen in their thick
blue coats buttoned close up to the chin.
to conform to the department. rules Of
discipline. looked at him with envious
eyes
There was some question raised as to
whether a shirt waist man should be ad-
mitted, and as this instance was to estab-
lish precedent, it was an important one.
The matter was finally submitted to Cap
tain Dubois, the chief usher, and after
carefully viewing the specimen he found
that the garment was entirely proper and
gave it his approval 1t may therefore
be known henceforth that the shirt waist,
whatever opposition 1t may encounter in
the public schools or elsewhere, has the
entree at the White House.

The Funeral of Miss Lewis.

The funeral of Miss Mary Franc Lewis,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank ]. Lewis
will take place at o'clock this afternoon
from her late residence, 1907 l. Street.
The young lady had been an invalid for
some years past, but her death, last Fri
day, was entirely unexpected, and was,
of course, a dreadful shock to her family
and large circle of friends. She was an
accomplished amateur artist and devoted
much time to perfecting her beautiful
gift, as her health was too delicate to per
nit her the enjoyment of social life to
any extent. The remains will be placed
temporarily in a vault here and trans
ferred later on to the family vault at
WaterVille. Me.

ARcANUM DAY OBSERVED.
TNenty-fourth Anniversary Cele-
brated by the LEGAL Members.

Despite a warm night, nearly two thou
sand enthusiastic Arcanumites and their
friends gathered last evening at the New
National Theatre to celebrate the twenty
fourth anniversary of the institution Of
the order From orchestra to gallery
every seat was taken, the aisles filed. and
q goodly number of late comers turned
away.
Promptly upon the conclusion Of the
overture by Prof. Hanleins orchestra,
William II. Brigham, Grand Regent for
the District, stepped forward to welcome
the audience and to introduce the orator
of the evening, Webster c. Weiss, Of
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Weiss address was an
eloquent exposition Of the work the order
has accomplished and a brilliant promise
of the future of the order. Mr.. Weiss
address was received with enthusiastic
applause.
Among the performers of the evening
were Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-Cliff. Miss
Pauline Whitaker, William d. Mcfarland,
]. Henry Kaiser, and Prof. John Porter
Lawrence.
Mir. Mcfarland led off with verdrs
charming -Di Quella PiIa." Miss Pauline
Whitaker followed with two rich con-
traltO solos, Secret Greetings" and
Dreams" by Won Fielitz; next a duet,
Pauline and Virginia" (Masse). was sung
by Mrs Shir-CIin and MIR. Mcfarland; /;
then Mr.. Kaiser baritone solo, sunset,

opened oy the famous Goldens-Biilie, his
wife and daughter, and for twenty min

done. The next number was the slack
wire performance of Eugene La Bronco,
ard it is hard to say whether he held the
audiences attention or they held their
breath longest while he went through his
delicate feats Of balancing on that very
slack wire. Harry Hanlein, in Hebrew
character sketches, followed, and he kept
the audience conYulsed with the typical
jokes OF the class. The concluding feature
OF the evening was the number furnished
through the courtesy Of 2. B. Chase, from
the Grand. 1t consisted OF Mabel Fuller,
Mollie Moller, and Dan Burke in their
very bright comedy skit entitled over

The Lafayette-."rhe Lady of Lyons.v

Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton' THE Lady
of Lyons" had its first local stock produc-
tion by the Lafayette company last night
and proved bill of absorbing interest to
tne large audience in attendance. The
dialogue of the play is painfully stilted in
many instances and it is doubtful II even
in the period Of the piece people ever ex-
pressed themselves in any such language
as is accredited to the several characters;
but one soon forgets that in following the
story. so the fact that the author wrote
to please himself without stopping to con-
suit the probable tastes of Iatter-day au-
dienees is overlooked and forgotten
The most conspicuous work was that of
Edwin Arden who, as Claude Melnotte.
scored the greatest success of his local
career since his admirable portrayal Of
Captain Swift. His Claude is a verftable
gem With characteristic intelligence Mr..
Arden does Lot mount the housetops,
metaphorically speaking, to read his lines,
but speaks them with the naturalness and
freedom from grandiloquence which is the
charm OF all his impersonations, and
which in this case makes Claude an up
to-date man and lover-one whom an au-
dience can accept and sympathize with
His reading of the long speeches, partic-
ularly the one descriptive of Claude's
imaginary home by the Lake of Como and
that in which he parts from Pauline, is
ideal in its simplicity and feeling. Mr..
Arden's conception is refreShingly mod
ern, yet retains all the impressiveness and
dignity of the character in its original
drawing.
Minnie Radcliffe is a very charming
Pauline a role which Will ever remain a
classic Miss Radcliffe has proved her
self capable of handling comedy and emo
tional roles alike. and last night her de-
lineation was delightful. Thomas l.. Cole
man made the most of his opportunities as
NJ Beauseant, a rejected suitOr for Pau
lines hand, and in Colonel Dumas Robert
Rogers finds a role just to his taste.
Wright Kramer contributed a good char
acter study as NJ CLAWS. and Myren Lef-
hngweH filed out the role of NJ. Deschap
pelles satisfactorily. By her intelligent
portrayal Louise Macintosh brought the
Widow Melnotte into especial prominence.
The part is a small but excellent one and
Miss Macintosh played it well. Bijou
Fernandez presented a charming picture
as the peasant boy, Gaspar. Miss Fernan-
dee proved last night that she can wear
male attire quite as comfortably as din
ner gown. Her few minutes on the stage
were very delightful and one inStinctively
regrets that Gaspar is not more important
to the play. Others in the cast were Hen
rietta Newman, Agnes Scott and Horace
Newman.
William Seymour. who has been the
stage director of the company during the
spring and summer season, relinquished
the position last night and will be sue
cee-led by Edwin Arden. Mr.. Arden s first
production will be Captain Letterblair,'
in which Z. H. Sothern toured for several
seasons. Matinees of THE Lady of Ly-
ons" will be given on Wednesday and Sat
urday.

To Exnmine New cadets at Home.

Commander Wainwright Superintend-
ent of the Annapolis Naval Academy was
at the Navy Department yesterday and
had a consultation with Secretary Long
in regard to the examinations of candi-
dates for appointment to the institution.
II was decided to make arrangements
with the Civil Service Commission for the
holding of examinations at the homes of
candidates instead OF at the Academy, by
the board there, as heretofore The eX-
animation papers will be prepared at the
Academy and turned over to the Civil
Service Commission whose agents will
conduct the examinations and forward the
papers to the Navy department. This OBJ
yiates the necessity of having candidates
leave their homes and so to Annapolis for
