THE GEORGETOWN ORCH ESTRA., | It is seldom that so many distinguished men of Something of Its History and the Work in Has Accomplished. . The Georgetown Amateur Orchestra, which will enter xpon its cleventh season this winter, was originally developed from the informal weekly meetings of four zentlemen in George- town in the year 1877. These were Messrs. H. D. Cooke, jr., T. H. Gibbs, C. 8. Hein and Dr. F. S. Barbarin, All were passionately fond of music and they used to come together at the residence of the late Gov. Cooke for practice and mutual improvement. Some of their friends learned of this meeting and were grad- wally taken into the gatherings. and the quar- tet grew in size uiitil it formed small or- chestra. The object of the meetings then as now was, aside from the pleasure of congenial association, that of the gratification and im- provement to be derived frém the practical aud personal study of orchestral music. be- cause at that time the only chance of hearing such works performed was on the rare occa- sions of the Thomas concerts. and even these allowed of only one hearing of each work presented, whereas mmsic of the classical school cam be thoroughly under- stood only after repeated hearings. Meetings for a similar purpose had been held for many years at the residence of Dr. G. treet, and these two sets of mu- ved and the orchestra increased its proportions. At that time quite a number of professional musicians playing instruments that offer no peculiar inducements to amateurs used to attend the mectings when their other engagements did not interfere, but the uncer- tainty of their attendance. together with the reasing attendance of listeners from ¢ friends of the orchestra, suggested ‘ooke the propriety of forming an or- ganization for the purpose of giving concerts. This was effected at the Cooke mansion in Georgetown, with Messrs. H. D. Cooke as pres- ident; F. S. Barbarin, secretary; T. H. Gibbs, treasurer; [. T. Davis, librarian; E. W. Stone, assistant librarian, and kK. C. Bernays, con- ductor, THE FIRST CONCERT. ‘The first concert was given at Curtis Hall on January 19, 1832: admission was charged to de- fray unavoidable expenses, as the professional men had now to be paid to insure their attend- ance. and music had to be bought. Financially this was not a success and then recourse was had to the election of passive members. An inspection of the list of passive members reveals the fact that in the beginning it was made up almost exclusively of Georgetown people. These, however, have gradually dropped off until there are now but few left. With the zreat increase in active membership and the constant accession of Washington peo- ple to the passive membership, the accommo- dations of Cw all became more and more insufficient. and the orchestra oblige: though with regret. to obey the inevitable and move to Wasiington for good andall. The support of the Georgetown people was not uflicient of itself to insure the per- Manent success of the organization and as the change was made the original members dropped out and their places were taken by more enthusiastic musicians from Washington. The object of the orchestra is still essentially the same, that of educating themselves, their friends and the public at large in the very enticing study of instrumental music. The necessity for greater techrical perfection has in the course of time rendered the orchestra necessari!y more professional in its methods and the social idea has to a large ex- tent been dropped out. In the matter of selec- tions presented the orchestra was at first some- what rudimentary, the programs embracing nothing but Haydn symphonies and light fausie, what some might be inclined to call trash, but the growth in numbers as welt as the extension of the horizon ef artistic vision brought about a gradual change, until in 1485 the selections were exciu- sively standard works. It has been found necessary to modify this policy somewhat, but the reasons for this are not far to seek. In earlicr years these were the only orchestral concerts given in this city, and as offering the only chance for hearing orchestral works the shortcomings of amateurs were good-naturedly overlooked, but with the advent of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the unexpected re- turn of Mr. Theodore Thomas, after an absence of six years, they were subjected to invidious comparison. ‘This fact and the necessity newly arisen for depending entirely on the public for supporthave led to the introduction into the Programs of selections of not quite so severe a character, which. as they did not involve so much time in the preparation, left a greater THE DISTINGUISHED OMTOAN. higher prices declares that ‘cheap and nasty go together and this whole system of cheap Anotablo company was assembled in the | things is a badge of poverty; for cheap mer- armory banquet hall in Columbus, Ohio, last | Chandise means cheap men and cheap men night in honor of Judge Thurman's birthday. 3 party assemble at one time and place, except on the cecasion of @ national convention. Among them were the only democratic ex-Presi- dent living, Congressmen, ex-Congressmen and Congressmen-elect, Senators and ex-Senators, governors and ex-goyernors and governors- elect, besides gentlemen who have distin- guished themselves in various channels of pub- lie and private life, all drawn here to do honor to Judge Ailan G. Thurman, The list of distinguished visitors and those who ocenpied seats at the banquet table was not composed exclusively of democrats. There were a namber of republicans from Obio and elsewhere, who came, not as partisans, but as citizens, to show their appreciation of the pub- lic service rendered by Judge Thurman. SOME OF THE PROMINENT GUESTS. The following are a few of the most promi- nent of the one thousand guests seated at the banquet board: Ex-President Cleveland, ex-Senator McDon- ald of Indiana, Congressman Springer of Illi- nois, Hon.

JUDGE THURMAN’S ARRIVAL. It was just & o'clock when Cleveland and Judge Thurman en: ceptionroom, They were arm in arm. The ex-President supporting his venerable compan- ion, who was further assisted by acane, walked p thehall. His limping gait attested to the inroads that his old enemy, the rheuma- tism, had made upon his vigorous frame. After a few moments’ rest they proceeded to the hall. It was at this stage that the greatest demon- stration of the evening took place. Cheer after cheer arose from the enthusiastic andience, and simultaneously every man arose from his seat and waved the traditional red bandana handkerchief in honor of the Old Roman. With dignity, yet smilingly, Mr. Thurman bewed to the 1.000 frantic admirers, and Grover Cleveland did likewise as_ cheers for the ex- President rent the air. The band struck up “The Star Spangled Banner,” and all remained the chairman, the vast multitude sank into the seats at the festive board and the banquet be- an. - CLEVELAND A CENTRAL FIGURE. At the conclusion of the banquet Mr. John J. Lentz, chairman of the Thurman Club, rapped the vast assemblage to order and said: “The Thurman Clubis happy tonight to havo had the privilege of breaking the bread and pouring the wine for such a feast as this, and proud, indeed, of the company and fellowship of the men who are with us from almost every state inthe broad Union. * * * We have with us civilians and warriors, Congressmen, Senators and governors. We have with us the young men, with their ardor and strength; the old men, with their recollections and traditions frora the days of Jefferson and Jackson, and we have with us that other man. who completes the American triumvirate of democratic Presi- dents—{applause]—who has done more than any other American to instil in the hearts of the people an appropriateness of the sacred- ness and holiness of the oath of public oftice— that man, who not only proved that he would rather be right than be President, but ‘who. as President.has been brave enough and strong to rule in behalf of the whole people, and not ofa party or class. [Cheers and applause. 1 “Neither the Queen of England, the Empe- ror of Germany, nor the Czar of all the Russias, nor the kings of kings, the emperors of em- perors, the czars of czars, the American peo- ple, can confer upon him official place tower- ing higher than his ability and his merits, Words need not be multiplied; there is no language so expressive of his honor as his own opportunity to zive to more serious com- Positions the amountof study necessary to resent them acceptably. With this same ob- ject in vjew it has been found practicable to increase the rehearsals to more than double the number that were formerly required. SOME OF THE WORSS PERFORMED. It may be of interest to mention among the works given by the orchestra in past years the following symphonies: Haydn, Nos. 2, 4, 5, 6. 9, 11 and 13; Beethoven, 1, 2, 3, 4. 5, 7 and 8; | Sehubert, 9 and 10; Mozart, Cand G minor and Lent, B flat; ures, Auber, Le Roi d’Yvetot, Masaniello, Diavolo, Reissiger, Felsen- Tanered, Semaramide, William ‘Tell, Mozart, Figaro. Don Giovanni, Gluck, Iphigenia, Cherubini, Watercarrier, Boieldieu, 1 Jean de Paris, Herold, Zampa, Flotow, Stra- della, Reinecke, Mafred, Gade, Scotch, Men- delssobn, Son and Stranger, Thomas, Raymond Schubert, Rosamunde. a number of piano con- certos by Liszt, Mendelssohn, Weber and Bee- thoven and innumerable minor picces. The society has at various times received material tinanciai aid from Mr. H. D. Cooke, the late W.'W. Curtis and Mr. Frank B. Met- werott ‘The improvement of the orchestra under the leadership of Proz. Josef Kaspar has been most marked. It is now thoroughly disciplined, and each member has been imbucd with an earnest- ness and enth.siasm that results in a combined excellence not heretofore shown. The work of the orchestra last year exhibited such gratify- ing progress that it received liberal support from the public, and its season closed with Pleasant anticipations of what might be ex- ted this winter. It is the intention of Prof. Kaspar and the members of the orchestra that these anticrpations shall be realized, aud those who have listened to recent rehearsals are sat- istied that the Georgetown Orchestra will this season excel all its former efforts and prove it- self an organization of musicians of which Washington may well be proud. eenteences A BALLOON AMONG PEASANTS, It Meets With a Reception Characteris- tie of Their Benighted Condition. Anaccount which recently appeared in the Nove Vrenya of a balloon voyage from St. Petersburg to a point not far beyond Lake Ladoga conveys a striking picture of the be- nighted condition of the Russian peasantry, even within a few hundred mile~ of the capital. ‘The balloon in question, containing a Col. Pomostzeff and Count Covarko, descended at a place called Moustoi, in the government of Oletz, 300 versts from St. Petersburg, and this is what followed: There was a general panic.. The peasants thought that antichrist was descending from the sky and that the end of the world was come; women screamed, children cried and all ‘the inhabitants were well-nigh out of their wits from fear. Soon from the wood came the women who had been gathering mushrooms, Funning as fast as their legs could carry them. “A house,” they cried, “has come down from the sky with wonderful strangers in it!” ‘The ts thereupon all hid themselves in the Village as best they could, with the exception of a few bold fellows, who took their hatchets and cudgels and proceeded cautiously to the forest. It was long before these iatter, who assisted to convey the apparatus to the village, could prevail upon their fellow villagers to come out of their hiding piaces. ‘The acronauts speut the night in this village and in the morning marched back, the balloon being packed on a sledge because there was not # wheeled vehicie im the place. bs ston — A .

The plaintiff said that the mouey should be devoted Wany charity the jury might select, name—Grover Cleveland.” [Prolonged cheers and applause. } Congressman Joseph H. Outhwaite was the toastmaster. JUDGE THURMAN’S RESPONSE. When he proposed the toast: ‘To the health, long life and continued happiness of our guest.” 1,000 people rose and cheered, and, as the “Old Roman” rose to respond, 1,000 ban- danna handkerchiefs were waved frantically in the air, and the cheers swelied into a roar, The scene was one that would have swelled with pride the heart of any human being—even the “Old Roman,” whose modesty has ever been a crowning virtue. It was five minutes before the ovation which greeted the toast sub- sided sufficiently to enable Juage Thurman to respond. Judge Thurman briefly referred to the great progress of liberal ideas in goverament dur- ing his life. He then said a word, freedom seems to be gradually circumnavigating the globe, and, proud thought for us, the polar star of the navigator is our own republic of the United States, What I have said may seem tosome like extravagant optimism. If so, 1 have only to reply that I have always pre- ferred optimism to pessimism aud common sense to both, and that I don’t think that in what I have said I departed from the teach- ings of my guid After mentioning a number of the Ohio jioneers whom he had known more or less intimately he came to a subject which was evi- dently uppermost in the thoughts of his hearers—the presidency. ‘In one of our town papers a few days ago I saw my name suggested as that of a proper candidate for the presidency or vice presidency in 1892, I regretted very much to see the suggestion. for, appearing in a paper known to be very friendly to me and published in the place of my residence, it might naturally be suspected by strangers that it was inspired or at least approved by me. But such ‘was not the fact, “I had no ide: such @ suggestion would be made untid 1 it in this paper. My friends, Jet me say to you, in all sincerity and without the least mental reservation, that 1 am not nor shall ever again be a candidate for office. I have been sufficiently honored by my party, and neither ask nor desire any further hon than continued friendship and yood will. Gen- tlemen, I have said enough, more, indeed, than I expected to say. to you my sincerest thanks. You have glad- dened the heart and brightened the footsteps of an old man, your devoted friend, in his descent of the hill of life when he has almost reached its foot. May God bless you all, is his earnest prayer.” ‘MR. CLEVELAND'S REMARKS, Ex-President Cleveland responded to the sentiment “American citizenship.” He said in opening: “I follow the promptings of a heart full of devotion and veneration, as I tender from the democracy of the great state of New York her tribute of affection for the man whom we honor tonight * * * We rejoice iu the | example afforded on this oceasion of genuine | American citizenship, revealed to us as a sate j and infallible interpreter of duty in all the | emergencies of « long and honorable public | caroer, and as an unfailing guide to usefulness and fame.” at - Mr. Cleveland then procegded to point out some of the clements making uj premade ; and vigor of American citizenshi “Here,” | he said, “the plain people of the laud are the rulers, Their investiture of power is only ac- companied with the conditions that they should | love their country, that they should jealously guard and protect its interests and fair fa and that all the intelligence with which they are endowed should be devoted to un under- | stending of its needs and the promotion of its welfare.” After referring brie! to frugality and factors im American economy as important spon the question of cheapness life, he sai and econumy, whether it relates to individuals orto the operations of the government, the democratic party, true to its ereed and its traditions, will iterably remain attached to our plain ‘and hregal tous, beenuse she had | bre borne down, with burdena greater thes | castle at Hospital Field, Arbroath, & two years’ engagement at £100 a week in| theycan bear, and are made the objects of | will become a monastery for a brotherhood scorn by hard taskmasters we will not leave their side, the German (ceed in- the standing until the close. Then, at a signalfrom | Once more, let me return | mean a cheap country,’ we indignantly re- pudiate such an interpretation of American sentiment, And when another one high in party councils, who has become notorious as the advocate of a contrivance to perpetuate Partisan supremacy by outrageous interfer- ence with the suffrage, announces that ‘the ery for cheapness is un-American,’ we scorn- fully reply that his speech does not indicate the slightest conception of true Americanism. I will not refer to other utterances of like im~ port from similar sources. I content myself With recalling the most prominent and signifi- cant. The wonder is that these things were addressed by Americans to Americans. “It cannot be denied that political events in the past have gono far toward encouraging arrogant party assumption. Every thoughtful and patriotic man has at times been disan- pointed and depressed by the apparent indif- erence and demoralization of the people. But such reflections have no place in the feticitations of tonight. Thisis a time when faith in our countrymen should be fully re- established. The noise of a recent political revolution is still heard throughout the land. Nothing could so well accompany the bonors we pay our distinguished guest as the celebra- tion on his birthday of the victory which has Just been achieved in vindication of Amcrican citizenship—for in him we honor the man who has best illustrated true American manhood, Our i is are increased, also celebrate tonight the triumph of a demo- cratic principle for which he fought and fell but two short years ago. and to complete our joy and his we are permitted to indulge in true democratic enthusiasm over the steadfastuess and devotion to its creed exhibited by our party, which, kuowing no discouragement, has fought to victory im the people's cause.” OTHER TESTIMONIALS. Other toasts were responded to by Gen. Ew- ing, Congressman Wm. C, Breckinridge, R. A. Harrison, Calvin 8. Brice, Senator Wm, L. Wil- son, Don M. Dickinson and Goy. Campbell, all of whom alluded feelingly to Mr. Thurman. Among those who sent letters of regret were ex-President Hayes, Gov. Hul of New York. Senator Wm. M. Evarts, ex-Secretary Thomas F.

How They Celebrated Their Victory at Rockville Last Night. Correspondence of THe EVENtso Stan. Rocxvitie, Mp., November 13, The democratic jubilee and torchlight pro- cession in honor of recent political success in this congressional district came off to night, and so far as numbers and enthusiasm go was quite a success, Tho line, which was about half a mile in length, was formed on | Montgomery avenue and was preceded by sev- carriages containing Gen. Wm. M. Mc- aig, Congressman-elect, the speakers of the evening and a number of invited guests, A large majority of the houses along the line of march were brilliantly illuminated and tho air was filled with rockets and other fireworks, After traversing the principal streets of the town the procession was halted in front of the town hall, from the balcony of which the speeches were made. The meeting was called to order by Hon. Philip D. Laird. chairman of the demo- cratic central committee, who made a short but stirrmg speech and introduced Congress- man-elect McKaig. who thanked the democracy of Montgomery for standing up nobly to their old-time majority and also paid a glowing tribute to the conservative republican element of the sixth district, which had been instru- mental in electing him. He also claimed that in Allegany he had received fully two-thirds of the colored vote and a large proportion of the vote of the old soldiers. He advised that the party act in such a manner us to retain the new allics, The speech was frequently inter- rupted by applause. Short congratulatory speeches wero also made by Messrs. 8. Riggs of Rockville, George Peter, W. V. Bouic, jr., Spencer C. Jones and Isaac Young and at 9:30 the meeting saver, Asimilar demonstra- tion will be held at Gaithersburg Friday night and at Potomac Saturday night. This evening about 5 o'clock the body of a dead white male infant was found in a field near Horner's Mill, about two miles northeast from this place. The discovery of the remains was made by a deaf and dumb sonof Mr. Zadock Burriss while out hunting. The body was that of a white male child apparently some weeks old,with no clothing on and a portion of the scalp eaten away. Justice Morgan will sum- mon a coroner's jury and visit the sccne of the ghastly discovery tomorrow morning. E. M.

It is not generally known, says the New York Telegram, that the Irish member of parliament, John Dillon, now in America, is a doctor by profession. Previous to the land agitation he was demonstrator of anatomy at the Ledwich School of Medicine, m Dublin, and distin- guished himself by making some discoveries which have proved of importance to science. Mr. Dillon has visited the United States several times. He is loved in Ireland with a peculiar love; it is akin to a mother for a favorite child. He, on the other hand. always speaks of the Irish as “My people.” Dr. Dillon entered the present Irish movement because he took in the spirit of Irish nationalism with bis blood and because by his nature he was bound to be an enthusiast in some cause, NOISE IN THE CITIES. A Good Chance for Some Politician Who is Out of a Job. We believe that the defect in our civilization which wiil appear most striking to the social historian of future generations, remarks the London Truth, is our tolerance of noise in our great cities, Ihe Salvation Army band, the Italian organ grinder, the newsboy, who bawis his chief piece of intelligence within half a yard of the helpless passer-by; the gangs of roughs who are permitted, without interference from the police, to shout and yell as they perambulate the streets when decent people are in bed. All these are nuisances which a small amount of care might repress, and the repression of which, while it would increase the comfort of vast numbers, would leave every important liberty of the citizen uncurtailed. Is there no politician out of work who will undertake to enter upon a crusade against noise? ‘To find | London a Babel of discords, aud to leave it a | city in which the possessor of seasitive cars need no longer regret having been born, would be an achievement which would both deserve aud earn immortality. 1 Not | “Jack the Kisser” in Danbury. “Jack the Kisser” hes made his appearance in Danbury, Conn., and the police, big brothers and sweethearts are after him with a ven- geance.

In point of fact, # may be truthfully said that it is without as equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tus Sram on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the points upon which the ebove claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the cireu- Jation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2, The Star’s circulation in Washing» ton is double that of all the other daily papers published in the city added te gether!! 3. The Star bas a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas ing population, than any other news Paper in the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest regular and permanent home circulation of any twoecent afternoon paper in the United States !11! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper ettention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IW 1885-86-87-88-88, 1SS3. 1886. 18S7.
