The exercises last evening consisted of piano solos by Miss Sallie Mason, vocal music by the members of the choir and recitations by Miss Mand Jarvis and Mr. Frank Brown. Mr. F. A.

Brooks; ! P< » .a THE EVENING STAR: WAS Propoxed Reorganization of the Entire De- partment by the Commissioners. The Commissioners have decided upon acom- plete reorganization of the street sweeping de- occupied the attention of the Commissioners. They believed that the hundreds of complaints that came in concerning the condition of the streets in all sections had some foundation, and after considering the matter ashort time decided that the trouble lay in the system of inspection and the methods of sweeping. One of the greatest defects was in the inspection of the All of the inspectors were on an equal | footing and one refused to take orders from an- | other. This complicated matters and brought about a condition of affairs in the street sweep- ing department that was not desirable and not conducive to the public interest. To remedy this matter the Commissioners will, upon the reorganization of the deparyment, appoint one inspector and make the other inspectors his as- sistants. New «cheduies will be made ont and the superintendent of street sweeping will be ordered to enforce a strict compliance of the contract. Perbaps the most important change in the reorganization of the street sweeping depart- | ment will be the abolishment of the office of the assistant superintendent. This forces Perry Carson, the present incumbent of that office, out of the District employ. The Commis sioners maintain that there is really no neces- sity fot an assistant superintendent. There is no provision made for one in the appropriation Dill, and the office was created by Commissioner Dougiass for Perry Carson. ‘There is considerable influence being brought to bear to retain Perry in office, bu: it is be- lieved that the efforts will prove fruitless. This morning, in accordance with a request from Commissioner Ross, Perry Carson appeared before the former, when he was told that his | office would shortiy be abolished. ‘The reorganization of the street sweeping | department will bring about an entirely new condition of things and the Commissioners hope that after the first few weeks complaints will be reduced to a minimum.

By unanimous vote the National Rifles at the regular monthly meeting inst evening adopted & resolution which forbids in the future mem- bers of the organization, while on the active list, Joining the National Guard.

One of the good deacons in a certain church is also the superintendent of the Sunday school, and, alihough he is not an artist, he frequently illustrates points in the lesson by the ‘use of the blackboard. These exercises are for the special benefit of the younger portion of the school, and the superintendent has habit of arousing the children’s interest by asking questions about what he has drawn. Having drawn the representation of a crown one Sanday, much after the slereotyped style of all such roval aj es, he said: “Now, what one of the little folks can tell me what this ie?” Several raised their hands, but the superin- tendent’s eye was caught by a little fellow on ee Well Jeb tall” “Well, Johnie, you of his distinetion above his fellows, the boy rose smilingly and shouted, “A pin vushion !”” ———__-e+____ He Could Have the Place.

The Spenish authorities on the Island of Cuba, says a Key West special to the New York Times, bave been forced to give credence to the alleged filibuster expedition now orgamizing at Key West and expected to leave at any time. This fact was manifested in a dispatch re- ceived at Key West on Monday. The Spanish consul bas Leen ordered to prevent the culmi- nation of any such movement. ‘The Spanish authorities in Cube had up to this time received the reports of vague rumors, but now they firmly believe in the existence of fi movement and also in its depart- ure at an early day. ‘The consul has consulted with the federal officers, and,asaresult, the entire customs force has been ordered out to patrol the beach around Key West, ‘They are very reticent at present, but it is learned that should the 3,000 people depart the small force on board the revenue cutter, the | only United States vessel at Key West, would be inadequate, Tt is understood that she will be reinforced cutters as soon asexpedient.

British Red Coats Descend on New York and Are Not Molested. It is a long time sincean English redcoat has been seen on Manhattan Island, but 200 British soldiers picked from England’s crack regiments descended on New York at an early hour yes- terday morning. Their errand was a peaceful one and they were not molested. Quite s number of people had assembled at | the foot of West 26th street to witness the land- ing from the steamship Massachusetts. All of the famous regiments are represented and there is half a battery of artillery. There are twenty-two big life guardsmen, twenty- seven members of the roval horse artillery, twenty of the fifth royal Irish lancers, twenty of the Prince Arthur's own hussars, twenty royal highlanders, the famous biack watch, twenty of the Prince’ Consort's rifle brigade, twenty of the eighty-seventh royal Irish fusileers, ten of the mounted infantry and fitteen royal engi- neers. ‘There are also ten men belonging to the medical corps and seven buglers, trumpeters and drummers. ‘The men are commanded by Col. F. Vibart. ‘The other officers aro Maj. Crowdy, Capt. E. B. Stafford, Capt. Dawson, Capt. Croker, Lieut. F, Croker and Lient. Rawson Turner.

The whole outfit left for Chicago on the Pennsylvania road yesterday evening. They will give an ex- hibition of their skill’ in Chicago during the world’s fair. People who have seen the feats that these men Perform at Agricultural Hall in London say that their skill is something wonderful. One of their most difficult feats is to cut a sheep in tvo with s sword while riding at full gallop, A Turk's head and lemons are also cut in the same way. Then they have tent pegging with lance and sword, the famous musical rides, tilting the ring, the Victoria cross race, jumping over tables, swords and hurdles on horseback, | wrestling on horseback and any number of other exercises. » The contest between a mounted swordsman and a foot soldier armed with a bayonet is said to be interesting and exciting. The soldier's bayonet is made to dieappear in the barrel of the gun when he strikes his enemy, making it appear to the spectator as if it had been plunged into his antagonist. The neroft Library. It has transpired that the Bancroft library supposed, but by Mr. John Stewart Kennedy, who has presented it to that library. The York Evening Post of yesterday says: “Hardly any act of public munificence ‘on the part of Mr. John Stewart Kennedy can take the public by surprise, but his latest one—the purchase of the library of the late George Ban- croft and its presentation to the Lenox Library —lays the scholars of New York and ite vicinity under the deepest obligation. This act stands in glaring conirast aigo to the parsimony or in- capacity of Congress. The library was offered to Congress for $75,000, according to one of the provisions of Mr. Bancroft’s will. Tho Senate accepted the offer. but the House declined it for the present, hoping probably to. get it for less money. Mr. Kennedy improved the opportu- nity to get this great collection for New York at a cost of 280,000, and it will soon be on the shelves of the Lenox Library.” io ae ee ‘One Woman's Easter Bonnet.
