 The lecturer of last night is fluent and bright speaker. He Is also a learned man in science and for two hours he endeavored to impart some of his knowledge to his hearers.
 He was introduced by pr. J. A Rice. pastor of the Court Street Meth odist Church, who referred happily to the strides science is making and to the privilege the audience was about to enjoy in seeing exhibitions of this progress.
 Professor Patty after a few prelim- mary remarks. entered into an expla- nation and history of wireless teieg- raphy. With few experiments, he showed how communication could be had without wires to the most distant points and how by touch of a button, starting an ether wave, a power plant at Niagara Falls might be started or a great city illuminated.
 Prof. Patty then spoke on the future commercial value of wireless telegra- phy and prophesied that within the life time of another generation, there would be no telegraph or cable wires or telephone wires necessary
 He explained how each individual could have private code for his own use that would be his Exclusively and told of many Improvements on the Marconi system on which Marconi and other goniuses are now working, which mean great things for future genera tions.
 He then took up the discussion of radium and the powers of this wonder full mineral. He told of its luminary power and Its penetrating. rays. He displayed minute particles of the priceless metal and the audience saw energy He told of the history of it's discovery and of the efforts that are making to keep radium off the market until 1t has been put to some practical uses. He described its life and death- giving properties and gave an idea of its future.
 Professor Patty gave an exhibition of the powers of liquid air This was program aud his experiments were con- stantly applauded. He made liquid air freeze flames and melt steel. He made liquid air freeze cranberries and heat iron to white heat. He froze alco- hol and mercury. He made carnations brittle and rubber appear as glass.
 He then explained some of the uses to which liquid air. when the scientists have progressed a little further will be put and described its future value to the science of surgery.
 When the lecture closed he was warmly applauded.

ACTION IS DEFERRED
ACCEPTANCE OF ROCKEFELLER GIFT RECOMMENDED, HOWEVER.
Final Decision Postponed for Two Weeks, Step Being Taken at Request of Protestants in
 The Case.

Boston, March 2s.-The American board of commissioners for foreign missions announced today that it's pru- dential committee had accepted a re- port of the sub-committe recommend ing the acceptance of the gift of $100,- 900 by John D. Rockefeller. but that final action on the matter had been postponed for two weeks. The report of the subcommittee in the language of a statement issued by the board today was received and accepted as expressing the unanimous judgment of the prudential committee and the executive officers and was to the effect that the committee could not accede to the protest of those who ob- jected to the acceptance of the gift
 The report also stated that the gift was offered by Mir. Rockefeller and unanimously accepted by the pru- dential committee on February 14, gift the committee followed the uni- versal custom of the church in the past receiving upon its altars the gifts of all who were moved to lay them theron"
 The report holds that the acceptance of a gift involves no expression of opinion on the part of the committee as to the character of the givers and to intercept a gift made to others in order to express an opinion seems un- warranteble.
 The reason for deferring final ac- tion Is given as follows:
 "Tnasmuch as the protestants have requested delay. the committee will hold final action in abeyance for two weeks"
 Summing up the arguments of the different protestants, the report says they practically declare that the donor of this gift Is believed to be identi- fled in a conspicuous way with a great evil in the country. and therefore. the board should refuse the gift in a con- spicuous way thus striking a blow at the evil. we feel" says the report on this point. "that the protestants have other ways of making their views known and that the blow should not be struck at the expense of the people in the non-Christian world"

Columbia Theater.

The Sultan of Sulu' maintains its hold
on public favor, though comedians and
prima donnas may come and go. 1t was
given last night as the opening performance
of a weeks engagement at the Columbia
Theater. The sovereign Hiram has many
humorous moments and the music has lost
none of its rhythmic charm. The satire of
the story is far from being stale, and the
humor of the lyrics compensates for what
they may lack in rhetoric elegance In the
cast Fred Frear holds his old-time part of
the lugubrious private secretary without
loss of interest and Thomas Whiffen has
succeeded to the title role. Nellie V. Mich
OILS has the role of Chiquita, which she
plays with vivacious effectiveness. Miss
Nichols is lyric soubrette of a unique
style of brunette type and possessed of a
contralto voice of extraordinary depth.
Miss Nichols is quite the opposite of the
customary musical comedienne, and the
contrast is refreshing. Miss Maude X.
Williams sings charmingly, and Walter A.
Lawrence was not only vocally acceptable,
but looked well in the calcium light. For
garty and O'Day contributed some occa-
sional fancy steps, which were notable even
in company where dancing Is a universal
accomplishment

COAL oPExATws MEET.
West Virginiansi Protest Against an
Advance In Freiaht Rates.

A conference Of West Virginia coal oper-
ators was held at sthe Raleigh Hotel yes
terday for the purpose of considering the
formulation of protest against an ad-
vance in the freight rates on coal from
West Virginia About seventy persons in
all were present at the conference, and they
included representatives sof the operators
in the Virginia, as well asIin the West Vir-
ginia coal fields. Some nfimation has been
given the coaling interests of a probable
advance in freight rates from the mines
to tide water, and 1t wasfto talk over this
situation that the conference was called.
William c. Bullitt of philadelphia was
chairman of the gathering, but he, as well
as the others present who were asked about
the meeting, declined to discuss in any de-
tail what, If anything, had been accom-
plished. So far as could be ascertafned the
gathering was mainly for the purpose of
discussing the possibilities of the future
rather than any present condition. Final
adjournment was taken last night and most
of those present left for their homes.
Among the operators in attendance were:
q. ii. Caperton, Enoch Carver, G. c. Berry,
Quinn Morton, M. T.. Davis, Frank Cox and
William Brown, all of Charlestown: F. T.

he THEAT Err.
New National Theater.

For the second time within the year Max
inc Elliott appeared at the National inca
ter last night in Her Own Way, play
from the prolific pen of Clyde Fitch, and
from the reception accorded by the large
and distinguished audience present Miss FL
lott may have her own way in Washington
for long time to come. The play through
out shows the handiwork of a skilled drama
fist, and aside from its peculiar adapta-
bility as a vehicle for Miss Elliott's methods
is worthy of praise. Miss Elliott as Geor-
CANA Carley, an "old maid nearly thirty, "
has a role that fits her like glove. With
her wonderful beauty, her moods delightful
ly feminine and femfninely delightful, her
sympathetic voice and infectious laughter,
her grace and the little womanly manner
isms she employs for the ensnaring of her
backward lover and her audience she man
ages to create human and intensely inter-
esting stage personality.
r. c. Herr, as Steven Carley, Georgiana' S
specializing, stock-mad brother, had a try
ing and unsympathetic role and by clever
work managed to make it stand out promi-
nently. James Carew, who succeeded Will
liam Courtleigh as Sam Coast, the million
aire who thinks his money will buy any
thing, including Georgiana, interpreted the
rather improbable role in a very probable
manner. Fanny Addison Pitt. as the step
mother with the changeable hair; Nellie
Thorne, as the Soctety-Struck sister-in-laW,
and George Lawrence, as the lady hair
dresser with remarkable conversational
powers, were excellent. A matinee will be
given on Friday afternoon

yesterday morning, and mentioned In yes
terdays Star, and which proved to be tina t
of Stephen Hawkins, was identified last
night being that of John c. Hutchinson
of Southeast Washington. This morning a
friend OF Hutchinson called at the morgue
and expressed the belief that the body was
that CO his friend. Hutchinson, he stated, had
India ink marks on his arm, but when the
superintendent of the morgue failed to find
these marks the friend admitted his mis-
take. Later in the morning the remains
were positively identified as those of Haw-
kins, a colored man. who disappeared from
his home, 220 Az street southwest, six
weeks ago. This identification was so GER
tain one that Coroner hewitt gave a GER
tiiicate of accidental death, and also gave
friends Of the dead man permission to take
charge of the body.
