His pictures are faithful repro- ductions of bis appearance, which is truly dramatic. A great shock of red bair that looks innocent of comb or brush surrounds head of somewhat peculiar shape. His face is thin, strongly marked and utterly expression- less.” At no time was there any movement of feature or glance of eye to indicate that he felt in any degree the sentim that he was en- jeavoring to express. He sits low at the piano, for bis movement is mainly from the but he plays with marvelous precision and power. His execution is something wonder- ful, the most complex passages being given with an ease and — clearness that demonstrates his complete mastery of all the technical difficulties of his instrament. In the three movements of the concerto the sec- ond developed best his delicacy of shading, while in the last the facility of his execution and power was most manifest. In bis second number he gave a group of three selections, two by Chopin—the nocturne in B major, op. 62, and the well-known waltz in B tlat—and Liszt's Hungarian Rapsody, No. 12. ‘The noc- turne and the Liszt selection were played with great effect and the enthusiasm of the audi- ence was excited to the highest degree. Again and agum was the artist recalled and finally he responded to the wild desire for more and played a Polish dauce, “Krakowiak,” of his own composition, which was a pleasing melody and an exquisite bit of fingering. It is perhaps unjust to give a complete judg- ment upon Vaderew=ki at the first hearing last night.

Mr. Eadweard Muybridge, celebrated in the revolutionary work of the instantaneous pho- tography of animals in motion that he has been carrying on in “his country during the past two decades, alclivered one of bis delight- ful lectures last night before the art students of the Corcoran Art School and the members of the Art Students’ League in the Corcoran school room. It was attended by over 200 peo- ple, whose work is directly in the line of the revelations that have been made by Prof. Muy- briage as to the actual motionsof men and animals. The lecture was profusely illustrated with lantern slides made from Prof. Muybridge’s original Photographic plates taken during his experiments, which, he explained, were begun twenty years ago in California. Senator, then governor, Stanford, was anxious to ascertain beyond a doubt whether or not a trotting horse is at any time in his motion en- tirely off the ground. Horsemen declared this to be impossible, but with the uid of the photo- graphic plate it was positively demonstrated that even at the top of speed a trotter is wholly free from the ground, and in fact would not be a trotter otherwise. From this start ci the other experiments in the way of investigating the entire field of animai motion, which has destroyed most of the former ideals of the attitudes of both men and animals while under muscular influences, as exemplified in the work of artiste of a former lay. Prof. Muybridge showed that there were cer- tain rules about horse and other animal motion rendered it quite possible to formulate it into laws, and which further proved animals walk alike. This latter propo- sition, however startling it may have been, was amply demonstrated by the plates shown, even to the extent of showing an exact resemblance between the walks of a horse and a camel, THE WASHINGTON BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. Two meetings in relation to the proposed Washington birthday celebration were held last night at Judge Armstrong's office. It was ad- vertised that the meeting would convene at 7:30.

Everybody offere: tions and promised to heartily help t bration along. There wasa half hour's and, on motion of Mr. J. 'T. Williams of Hills- dale, aijourmment followed. At 8:30 the citizens began to arrive. Those tin the prior meeting had d. Believing themselves to be the first the late comers organized a mass meet- vith Judge Armstrong as chairman. Mr. J. E. Minnix addressed the meeting and much off-hand talking followed. It was decided to communicate with the Independent Order of Rechabites, Knighis of Pythias, Improved Or- der of Red Men, Grand Army of the Republic and request their co-operation. It was also suggested to have an industrial parade. Some thought a commodious speaker's stand should be erected at some central point. Others thought this expense might be avoided by util- izing the service of the Baptist Church, or that in front of the Washington street public school. At 9:30 the meeting adjourned. NEARLY SUFFOCATED BY COAL Gas. Anacostia almost had a case of asphyxiation Tuesday night Mr. R. D.

Good Work Done by Pastor Smith—A Talk by. Deputy Chief Brooks, Rev. James D. Smith, pastor of Graoo Bap- tist Church, corner of South Caroline avon D and 9th street southeast, is delighted at bright prospects of the free reading room opened in the church Monday evening. The room is in the basement of the church, where tables are piled up with current literature. ‘The church is a new one and nearly ali the in- debtedness upon it has been provided for. When the pastor accepted a call to the church the congregation numbered less thau one hun- dred, and now since the pastor made house to house canvass the congregation numbers nearly three hundred. Speaking of the move- ment of having the reading room open’ the pastor told 4 Stam reporter that it was done to give the youug men in that vicinity a place to spend their evenings other than in saloons and other places where they would likely get in trouble. The idea, he said, was to make « free- and-easy Place of it, where the young men would ‘feel at home. ‘he opening for this month in an experiment, and if it proves ® wuc~ ceee it will be continued and an effort will be made to make the room more complete. It is the pastor's idea to provide gymnastic exerci of some vort and if necessary furnish the you men coffee and sandwiches. Every Wednesday there will be a lecture to young men and boys, and effort has been made to secure talented persons who will best enter tain the frequenters of the room. oven- ing there was a large audience to listen to an address by Mr. James J. Brooks, deputy chief of the secret service, who is deeply interested in the work of caring for the boys. His re- marks were directed to giving the boys good advice and pointing out to them how to keep on the right road. During the course of his remarks he referred to the work of noted coun- and explained how they rose from ) men to finally get into prison instead of keeping on the right path and attending to thelr everyday religious duties, seers, ARRANGING FOR THE BENCH SHOW.

A Municipal Muddle on Account of the Aus- tralian Ballot Law—Notes, Correspondence of The Evening Star. Hacenstowy, Feb. 3, 1892. Hagerstown is trying to extricate itself from a muddle. The Australian ballot law enacted in 1890 by the legislature was made to apply to municipal elections in Hagerstown, Some time after the passage of this law a vote was taken upon the issuing of bonds for the purpose of drainage. While the measure carried the elec- tion was not and could not beheld by the ballot law, because there was no registration of voters and the other machinery necessary to carry out its provisions. The question of the issuing of these bonds came up before Chief Judge Al- vey, who set aside the election and declared the bonds invalid. Under this decision when the time came around last spring for the regu- lar election of mayor and council it could not be he held because there were uo appliances for observing the requirements of the election law and the mayor aud three of the councilmen held over. To get out of the difficulty which blocks the wheels of municipal management a bill has been sent to the legislature now in ses- sion asking the enactment of a law providing for the registration of voters by five registrars and for the appointment by the governor of a bord of election supervisors. “The bill will doubtless passand our citizens will,then breathe easier. Drainage is also needed’ here—badly needed-—and abill to authorize the city author ities to provide the same has also been sent to the legislature. ‘Mr. Jobn Gassaway lives down in Mont- gomery county, not far from Washington, frequently comes to Hagerstown and re some time.

SCHOOL GIRLS KEBEL. They Object to Removing Corsets in Taking Physical Culture Exercises, Physical culture exercises have brought dis- cord in the Woburn, Mass., High School. Sev- eral girls of the class are determined to make 8 stand against the course of instruction. One of their objections relates to corsets. Miss Barnes,, the instructor, belicves that the action of the muscles should not be hampered by anything in the nature of a straitjacket. The girlsdo not want to discard corsets. They claim also that the exercises are too violent and that they feol the effects of the exertion long after the class tis dismissed. The exer- cises arosimple and similar to those in use in girls’ schools. Three months ago several mem- bers of the class rebelled over leaving their corseta off when attending the physical cul ture session. ‘The teacher firmly insisted that they should be removed. ‘Then came a little deception, and the teacher found it necessary al her pupils to ascertain if they were corsetiess. ‘Tuesday was L pareed culture day, and two of the girls asked to be excused. Their request was reiused and they fainted. An immediate explosion resulted, and the young women took up arms agaiust the “torturing” exercise. The teacher at times has found it necessary to 61 gest to the cluss that the prescribed home ex- ercises be more fuitiiully attended to, and those in authority assert that members of tho class have hindered the teacher by not heed- ing those instructions. For that reason she supposed girls who fainted were shamming in order to hep -p the routiae exercises. Several physicians will attend the exercises on Tuesday next, and will determine whether the instruc- tion is liable to injare the heaith of the class. oo ‘To Succeed Justice Bradley. A Washington special to the New York Morning Advertiser says that it learns, on" trustworthy authority, that President Harrison will ap- point Jr Green of the United States district court of New Jersey to succeed the late Asso- ciate Justice Bradley of the United States Suprome Court. ——— Killed by Her Jealous Lover. THE SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS. Lieut. Totten Figures That the Savior’s Ad- vent ie Imminent at Any Moment. Lieut. Totten, United States army, in an interview yesterday in New Haven regarding the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus, had thie to say in regard to a circumstance that is at- tracting wide attention: “It is a rare occurrence instead of a frequent one. It always coincides with notable events. These planets are for signs and seasons. They never fail to make them. Some twenty-one conjunctions have occurred since Luther's time. I will refer only to the last. On July 20 and 21, 1859, there wasa conjunction of Jupiter and Venus which closely resembled the coming one. Now, this conjunction followed the regular law and preceded historic events of the utmost mo- ment. They give warning to the watchers ex- actly asthe conjunction which preceded the nativity by several years warned the magi of coming events, The conjunction of 1859, of course, preceded the year 18¢0. “Let us see what occurred in 1860 and there- abouts. It is perhaps neediess to mention the civil war, an unparalicled strife But the world was in the throce of war at tho same time, for all the world bas §itherto revolved about Rome. It was in 2860 That Victor Eman- uel led the insurrection in the papal states on September 8. ‘The Sardinians entored on Sep- tember 11, defeated the papal troops at Castel Fidardo on September 18, taking Arcona on September 17-29. Victor Emanuel took eom- mand of the army and entered the kingdom of Nuples on October 15. Garibaldi defeated the Nepotitane at Volturno and greeted Victor Emanuel as King of Italy on October 26. He entersi Naples xs king on November 7. This was ag shoft ax the Franco-Prussian war. ‘ ewes signifi- cantin reiigion. ‘The morsacre of the unsis tians by the Druses war May 23 to Ju‘y L. Mohammedans massacred the Chri 00 wiain, on Jair 9; the English end French governments interfered in Aug ast; 4.050 French soldiers ‘azdod at 3eyrout on August 22; Lord Dufferin, the British commissioner in Syria, arrived in ‘Damascns on September 6. Note now that these September dates both in Mohammedanism and in Italy, both struck to- ether. Note, however, a more significant fact: ‘rom the Mohummedan capture of Jerusalom, A. D. 637, to the Syrian massacre, followea by European intervention, and to Victor Emanuel’s success in the western hierarchy are exactly 1,260 lunar years. ‘Ihe next seven years were loaded with religious dates of vital diplomatic import and ended with tho 1,335th sular year from Justinian. All know the events of the succeeding years, for the decade closed in 1870, or 1,260 years from thecelebrated decree of the Emperor Phocas, and the temporal power of Pope was at least for a little season over. “Take again one more illustration, a brief one—I have no time for more. I believe the advent season actually dates from 1828. This was exactly 2,520 years from Israel's captivity. 1 uso Israel in distinction from that of Judai. Their times of punishment were over. \ Since 1528 the watehers are counting one generation of three score years and ten toat least the lunar beginning of the climax, be that what it may. Now Miller's day comes in between. Historians will never forget those. days of excitement, Venus and Satdra came into conju: ction in the same field of the telescope on December 1%, 1845, and marked another of those coincidences which never fail” “When do you expect the end of the “wor! lieutenant?” ae ee “My answer to that is, ‘the world endureth forever.’ 1 bave never put my mind at work to solve so outrageous. problem. The end of the age is a diffrent thing. My belief is that it ends with the generation now living. The Saviour’s advent is imminent at any minute.” sos “DON'T NEED ANY NAVY.” Ex-Senator Ingalls Says That It Only Gets Us Into Trouble, “This whole Chilean imbroglio isan illustra- tion of the danger of our having a navy,” said ex-Senator Jobn J Ingalls at the Grand Pacific in Chicago yesterday. “Here the Ealtimore was in the harbor of Valparaiso, where she had no business to be. She had a right to be there, to be sure, and be- ing thete our flag and uniform were entitled to respect, but she had no business there. Her sailors went on shore and got into an alterca- tion. Had they and their ship been where they ought to bave been, in the harbor of San Francisco, New York, Boston or some other American seaport, they ‘would not have been hurt. But the officials wanted to make a show of actionand they sent the Baltimore to Val- paraiso, where she had no business, as they sent the rest of the fleet to other places where they have no business. “The supposititious trouble with Chile was manufactured by people who have a direct in- terest in securing a big appropriation from Congress to build an expensive, useless, unuec- essary navy. It was the annual war scare, which is gotten up by these same people just about the beginning of every Congress. ‘The scare is always on some trifling incident, in itself of no importance and out of the ques- tion as a casus belli. One year it was the Bering sea dispute and we were sure to have war with Great britain. Then it was the Mafia lynching at New Orleans that was to involve us with italy. Before that we had some discussion with Spain. Now, just watch the course of events and see if Congress is not asked to ap- Dropriate forty or fifty millions for a navy.” yi A navy will onl; us into , just as the Baltimore aha. “There 12nd necessity for this country in sending a lot of war ships # around the carth saying ‘the United States must be respected.’ The United States is respected without any bullying of that sort.” ——e-____ Mr. Cleveland Evades Politics. Ex-Presidezt Cleveland returned to New York city last night from his pleasure trip to the south. A number of reporters attempted to interview him on the political situation, but the subject was always cleverly evaded by Mr. Cleveland. On all other subjects, however, he was voluble enough. He finally escaped from the reporters and left for his home at Lake- wood, N.J. A Veteran of Fourteen Campaigns Dead. Gen. Schmitz, who saw sefvice in fourteen campaigns, died in Parison Tuesday.
