2 CHRISTENING THE BABY. OOROTHY WHITNEY'S START WITH THE GOLDEN SPOON. The Naming of the Cabinet Baby as Pretentious as Though She Were a Princess- -Elaborate Festivities at the Mansion- Mrs. Fairchild’s First Re ception a Great Success—The Benefit for the Actors’ Fund. Washington, April I(7—Miss Dorothy Whitney's christening at St. John'.- Episco pal church and the reception which followed at the residence of the Secretary ol the Navy on Easter Mom lay was the most fashionable event of the week just closed. The church was still Un'Ulul and fragrant with the decorations of Easter. Above the 111' •-bedecked baptismal font was suspended a snow-white dove. The baptismal pro session was one of the prettiest features of the service. In its van came a surplieed choir of lxiys singing on Easter carol with organ accompaniment, Dr. Leonard walk ing liehind, followed by Secretary and Mrs. Whitney and Mmo. Rcuterskiold, wife of the Swedish minister, holding in her arms the blue-eyed baby, and the four young lathes of the Cabinet, Miss Endieott, Miss Bayard, Miss Vilas and Miss Lamar, who stood sponsoi-s with Secretary Whitney. after Dr, Leonard bad chris i%ooe<kthc little rosebud she was returned to aftittßr .t-Tiial arms and the party left for the mansion where an afternoon tea ■was (given in honor of the occasion. The ktjom ; e the reception took place was a jdMnwt bower of flowers, the ftfferjjigs largely of diplomatic and other friends. On n talfie iu 0% ifcior of the room were the gifts to the ijfiptetjDorothv.

Mrs. Richard lb Townsend. .Jr., gave a silver porringer and spoon, which were nearly us elaborate, fend there was a third porringer in silver; tevoral silver-backed brushes, lace pins, tiny bracelets, a rattle, a cute pair of knitted feocks and many other equally appropriate rift*, together with two volumes of Milton Inthe parchment edition, ao-ompanit and by the following quaint note: •‘The accompanying ban -el will be the property of Miss Itorothy Whitney from the moment that the officia ting officer of the chun li shall say the words, ‘Dorothy, I baptize thee.’ (}. Bancroft. Tic minister’s present to Dorothy was a Ipecially large and fine basket of roses. Countess Galli also, with a cor dial note to .the little Jstranger, offered ft similar tribute, and there were nobs of greeting and telegrams from New York friends, and friends sojourning abroad heaped every inch of available space be tween the more substantial tokens. The Orchestra was hidden from view on a bal cony laden with rare 'plants and flowers, fend luxurious with costly fabrics from the orient. The collation consisted of every va riety of ices, light wines, fresh strawberries, fakes, confections, coffee and chocolate. On I. stand near the parlor door, in a large sil ver bowl, was served the famous time-hon tred christening drink, can IV. of which (very one, of course, sipped to the health of Dorothy. A more rep (esentativejjgathering of prominent people Was not seen in Washington during the Winter’s gayest whirl. It is estimatod that jot less than TOO guests called to do honor to lie little cherub and its parents. One of fate prettiest feature:; of the occasion were gftafeteven little girls, dressed in white, with ■roaAmshes, hair rilxms and shoulder knots if pink ribbon, who carried in fancy bas ‘ fet* Sfeh' little souvenirs, and distributed fcent among the guests. The souvenirs i wns(j(b‘.d of a small, egg-shajied box of silk, on the lid of which in was printed in wavy linns, , ‘’Dorothy Payne Whitney, Easter Monday, ' April D 1887.” Abive this, astride of an Vjfmjti* ite white annunciation lily, sat a fairy. Inside of the dainty satin- MSV'lmx were pink, white and silver egg flHgjpsd bonbons. After the christening Mrs. mWrtuey donated SSOO to the St. John’s yfljpH&ial Church Orphanage in commemo- Mtion of the baptism. One of the wards in ViC ok-ph.-mage will be named “Dorothy.” FOR THEIR PICTURE.'. KMfcaday's christening festivities were fol towwon Tuesday by lire. Whitney’s regu lar trtjekly reception.

First Performance in Thin Country of an American Play. New A okk, April Id.— One hundred veal's ago last night, (April 10, 1787) the audience at the John Street Theatre, New York, wit nessed the first, performance ever given of an American play by a company of pro fessional actors. What the dramatic his torian, Dunlap, calls “the pleasant and laugh-provoking tragedy of ‘The Mercenary Match,’ written by one tfnrndy Bidwell."” hod been played a few years previous by the student* of Yale College under the auspices of the Rev. Dr. Ezra Stiles, Presi dent of the college, and there had doubtless 1 >ecu other amateur pei-fonnancesof original plays: but the comedy of “The Contrast” was the first dramatic work written by an American and performed in a theatre. Ic> production, therefore, marks the U giunuig of the American drama as con liected with the American stage. Royall Tyler, the author of “The Contrast, was a young man of 2*. a graduate of Harvard, and a native of Boston, where theatrical performances were looked upon as devices of the devil and prohibited by law. Mr. Tyler was a lawyer by profession, and had served during Khav's"rebellion in Massachu setts on the staff of Gen. Lincoln. AY hen he arrived in New York, bringing with him the unfinished play, which was completed and produced a few weeks afterward, he had left his native New England for the first time an<l had never seen the inside of a regular theatre. The work was undertaken and finished in three weeks. But American plays were not then as plentiful as managers find them a century later, and Messrs. Gal ium & Henry, of the John Street Theatre, gave his manuscript their immediate atten tion, and probably astonished the author by accepting it The theatre which the play was given was built for theatrical purposes in 1707. It was an ugly stiucture, mostly of wood and painted red, and it stood on the north side of John street, on the site of fh ■ building now nuni bered 15 and occupied as a seed store. The main structure was atsmt sixty feet from the street, a rough wooden passage wav ex tending from the sidewalk to the ilooi-s. During the revolution it was used by the British officers for dramatic purposes and Maj. Andre was one of the performers there. The theatre was doubtless very little like those of the present day, but that some of the customs have survived will appear from the following comment from the New York Daily Advertiser of April 4, 1787: “The musicians, instead of performing between the play and the farce, are suffered to leave the theatre to pay a visit to the tippling houses, and the ladies in the meantime must amuse themselves by looking at the candles and the empty benches.” The painful but natural inference from the above is that the men in the audience fol lowed the example of the musicians or the ladies might have looked at them. The or chestra of the present day is not open to this criticism and the candles have disappeared, but it is questionable whether the male pir tion of the audience has kept up with the march of progress. There was but little previous announce ment of the new comedy. It was iu four acts, anil the scene was laid in New York. The title was given it because its lines dis played the contrast between American hon esty and simplicity and the affectation of dissolute foreign “swells.” The really inter esting character in the play was “Jonathan,” a Yankee. This was anew creation, the prototype of the many characters which have been portrayed by Yankee Hill, Dan Marble, Joseph Jefferson, Denman Thomp son and others. He was the shrewd yet simj minded countryman, and the portraiture made a great hit. The part was lakeu by Mr. AAigncll, who bail a high reputation as a comic actor. Among the others in the east were Mr. Henry, Air. Galium, Mr. Morris, Mr. Harper, Mrs. .Mor ris, Mi-s. Kenna and Miss Tuko. AVignell was very successful, though Ins dialect was not quite right, which was, perhaps, natural in an Englishman. He was long a favorite. Two years later, when Washington attended the John Street Theatre, on the occasion of Wignell’s benefit, the audience was pleased to observe that tile* favorite actor was able to excite the hearty laughter of the Presi dent. Mrs. Morris was the comedy lady of the company. She was otherwise noted for her eccentricities, one of which took the form of Jtii exaggerated dislike to being seen in daylight, so that she had a gate made in a neighbor’s garden wall that she might pass from her lodgings in Maiden lane to the the atre without observation. “The Contrast’’ was not a striking play, but many of Its hues were bright, and, of course, the best fall to “Jonathan.” He in dulges in a description of a visit to the thea tre, which lie made by mistake, witnessing a play under the impression that the re moval of the curtain had enabled him to see into the next neighbor’s house*. When told that he has really seen a play he ex claims: ’'Mercy on my soul! Did I see the wicked players! I vow, now 1 come to thiuk on it, the candles seem to burn blue, and 1 a:n sure where 1 sat it smelt terribly of brimstone.” The success of “The Contrast" was doubt less one of the influences which work to bring about in this country a decided revo lution of sentiment with regard to the drama and theatrical amusements. The in tolerance and prejudice against which the drama had so long 1 *een struggling gradu ally gave way, and in a few years a play by an American author ceased to be a novelty. Henry James. Extraordinary Premonition. From the lieligio-Philotopkical Journal. The Midlaud Advertiser, published at Wodnesbury, Eugluud, contains a singular narrative. A girl named Louisa Bonn, liv ing with her mother in Queen street, Wedneu bury, some time ago e*xpres-.i*d a desire to go to America, and her friends ultimately yield ed to her wishes. A suggestion, however, was made to her to go to Australia, aud, despite her mother s remonstrances, she* de cided to go there. The* family was poor aii<l great difficulty w as experienced in collecting the necessary funds and in providing the gil l with an outfit.

ROYALTY AT A BALL. How the King and Queen of Italy Lock and Act in the Presence of Guests. Presently there is a buzz, says a writer in the Philadelphia Telegraph , describing a ball in the |efface of the King of Italy. All i the !adi- - in the diplomatic parquet stand | up. The other ladies follow their The doors are thrown open. The orchestra | begins the royal march. Firet enter the offi ' cer.s and lu.be- of tfie household. Then there j is a courts; 'big of the ladies nearest the J door ami their majesties iq>;>car. the King | ami tli" Queen, arm in arm, bowing right ! and left. The ladies all around the room in cline tiuir lieaiis us her majesty walks I across to the din*, where she seats herself. 1 ImmediateJy uimn her lieing seated a gentle man of e :urt gives a signal to the othei ladies, who resume their places. The King strolls down th room to where tin Ministers and Senators are standing and engages in conversation with them. Her majesty anil ! her toilet are the cynosure of all eyes. She i bears the ordeal unconsciously. Scarcely a I minute elapses In-fore the sot is formed for the royul quadrille. The German amhassa ! d<#r. dean of the diplomatic (Tops, approaches [ the rtias and leads the Queen to her place. | The other ambassador* select as partners the I wives of their colleagues and the set is I formed. usually uinut twelve in all. The | King does not dance. Ho is iu evening dress, just the same as every Ik xly c)s*“. ex cept the Italian officers'. Even the diplo i mats are without uniform. He converses with | different jxirsons during thequadrille. The Queen, on the contrary, enters with spirit into the dunee and combines easy grace with dignity. For any one else than a Queen it would be an embarrassing position, with every eye in the great throng up-on her and her movements. The dance over, the Queen returns for a moment only to the dias. Then she g'<e.s over to the seats of the ambassa dresses and sits down for a chat. She goes from one to another until she has spoken with ever lady in the diplomatic corps. Meanwhile the general dancing is going on. Immediately u]on the conclusion of the royal quadrille the other large rooms are al ways throw nmjxm. and the drifting of a tide of persons into these apartments leaves less of a crush on the dancing floor. Each room is so different from its neighbor as to be in teresting of itself, and on ball nights is par ticularly brilliant and pretty, with its par terres of flowers, its thousands of gas jets and candelabra and it s throngs of pretty women, in one of the nour at the end of the suit." a buffet is spread all the evening. Once be gun, the (lancing goes on continuously until almit 3 o’clock in the morning. Their maj esties lend their presence to the. fete until about 1 o’clock, when, accompanied by their suite, they retire to the royal supper room. Almost simultaneously two other supper rooms are opened at different ends of the palace, one for the ladies and their cavaliers and the other for men unattended by fair companions. In the men’s banqueting hall there arc no chairs, only a long table on which arc placed the good things, liehind which stand the red-liveried lackeys, and in front of which is the dense mass of pushing and scrambling guests. The ladies’ supper room is a much prettier sight. All over the wide expanse of floor arc scattered very small tables, aliout which cluster little groups of ludißs and gentlemen, a js rfect army of the palace servants moving here and there among them. The supper is always very good, and the two Quirinal balls are. for a variety of reasons, considered the chief events of every season. NEW ORLEANS’ TEAM WINS. The Southern League Season Opened in the Crescent City. The Southern League season was opened in New Orleans yesterday. The initial game there between the Mobile and New Orleans clubs was scheduled for Saturday, but owing to the assurance of a larger pa tronage on Sunday it was postponed a ilav. The Crescent City team won by a score of sto 3, but it was u victory snatched from defeat. Up to the seventh inning Mobile was in the lead. The New Orleans team did splendid work in the last two innings. New Orleans, April 17. —Thenewliase ball park, was opened to-day for the first Southern league game in New Orleans. There wore nearly 5,000 people present. Both the New Orleans and Mobile teams showed up finely, and the contest between the pitchers was magnificent. Aydelotte struck out, 13 men, but was bit five times safely, while New Orleans only made three clean hits off Kelly. Mobile led at the end of the sixth inning by a score of ‘J to 1. Then Kelly and the nine became rattled, and fine base running helped New Orleans to pull out a victory. Atkinson umpired a good game.

Railway Building in 1887. Considering the inclement weather dur ing the fu st quarter of this year, the pro gress of track laying has been very great. The Railway Age, reports that 1,040 miles of new main track on 40 different lines, in 25 States and Territories, were laid during the first three months of 1887. On this basis a total construction of 8,000 to 10.000 miles would seem prolialile in 1887, were it not, the übove journal says, for the general un certainty relative to the operation of the ini "rotate commerce law. The mileage laid in the period under review is the largest ever laid in that time with one exception. This was in 1882, when the total mileage built exceeded 11,500 miles. The bulk of the track laid was projected previous to the enactment of the law above mentioned. The next few months will de cide definitely whether the present year will exceed all but the one mentioned, or whether the law will discourage further extensions. Half of the total mileage laid is to be cred ited to Texas and the Indian Territory, each of which has built 250 miles. Kansas has built 100 and California, 70 miles. The re mainder of the total is furnished by numer ous extensions scattered throughout the various States. Common Railroad Time. General Manager Haines, of the Plant system, was elected President of the Time Table Convention in New York on Thurs day. The other officers elected were J. M. Toueey, General Superintendent of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company, and I). J. Chase. General Super intendent of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa F‘* Railroad Company, First and Second Vice Presidents respectively, and W. F. Allen, manager of the National Railway Publication Company, Secretary. The con vention adopted the summer schedule for the running of connecting trains, and fixed May 15 as the day on which it shonld go into effect. Hereafter the time for chang ing to the summer schedules will be the Sunday nearest to May 15, and for the win ter schedules the Sunday nearest to Nov. 15. No railroad company is compelled to adopt the recommendations of the convention, but they have great weight as giving the opin ion of a large number of practical men of acknowledgixl standing in their profession. Therefore they are almost invariably put into effect by the companies. The F. R. and N.

A scheme lias lieen developed in Europe to build u railroad from Paris to Pekin, China. It is said that the route is |**rfect!y feasible. From Paris to Kkateruileerg. on the Siberian frontier, is about 2.500 miles. Thence the road would go across the Ni- Ix-riun plain, by Omsk and Tonis!;. r<) the Mongolian t roneier. From EkuterintN'ig to I’ekin is ulsiut e‘1.500 miles, making the total length oi the road from Paris to IVkin about li.OIKI miles.

The prettiest of doylies are of embroidered silk bolting cloth. Turbans are to b3 worn more than ever the coming season. The peasant sleeve with wide puffs and bands is very stylish. Little coil or knot ear-rings, chased or plain, are still favorites. Pompadour silks are recommended for dressy frocks for young girls. Watered ribbon is much worn as sashes, both for house and street wear. The sash curtains of striped ehambray gauze are very pretty and dainty. Many of the dressy new hats and bonnets are trimmed entirely w ith ribbon. Corded ginghams are among the pretty new fabrics for the coming season. The peasant waist is still the prettiest mode for a young girl’s house waist. Red is notably the color in early spring millinery, as it has been the past winter. Single-breasted jaek-'ts are again made with two darts, and are very closely fitted. Dotted book or Swiss muslins appear this season in pale tints of pink, blue, lilac and corn color. The new sailor hats for the year are higher in the brim, and the favorite tone is a light brown. Oriental scarfs and colored silk handker chiefs are to be used to trim some of the new straw bonnets. Dull red corduroy skirts are quite pictur esque as well as stylish. Dark green is worn w ith them. The newest tailor suits have very broad waistcoats opening over shirt fronts of Tus sore or China silk. Black bengaline, which has been so exten sively used for short wraps, is this season also much used for dresses. Double stripes and stripes of irregular widths, narrow stripes and hair lines are all seen in the new spring goods. Some new sleeves are pointed at the top. the point extending nearly to the collar be tween the fronts and backs of the shoulders. Basques of cashmere of fine w’oolea have their edges corded with the same material. Silk basques may be plainly faced or else corded with silk or with velvet Satin braids in rich dark shades are the bonnets chosen to be worn with tailor suits of cloth. They are graceful in shajie, and velvet ribbon loops and fancy bead aigrettes are the usual garniture. In riding habits there is anew dark blue cloth, mixed v.’ith white—the same as men’s driving coats are made of—which is novel, and is to be found in thick and thin melton cloth, for bodice and skirt. Very long and full overskirts, slashed on one side and only slightly draped, are worn by young ladies over a foundation skirt that may be gored, but must uot l*> too scant, as all skirt draperies are growing more and more voluminous. The coni sleeve, with cuff and wristband, is an established fact. The puff is set on the upper half of the sleeve, on the lining, which is of coat-sleeve shape. The outer fabric is cut in points or turned back in revel’s, the puff being shirred underneath. M HDICAL. FOE STOCK.
