The Canal is to Be Kept Open as Long as Possible. Tenleytown Strives Once More for Another School—Complaints of t Water Service Still Raimpant. In order that the canal may be kept open as long as possible the Chesapeake and Ohio company has just finished the con- struction of two great scows and ice break- ers combined, which wiil be put into service aS soon as the cold weather makes a visible impression on the waterway. For fear that two will not be sufficient to keep the chan- nel clear the company is considering the advisability of building a third one, and the force employed on the last construction has been instructed to hold themselves in readi- ness to again begin work. The two ice breakers already finished were built at the company’s shops at Hancock, Md. So prosperous has been the present season on the canal that every effort will be made to prolong it to the latest possible date. The waterway in the past has generally shut down at Christmas time, but this year boats will come down until the old canal freezes so hard that a passage will be an absolute impessibility. Coal yesterday came down the canal on the following boats: Here I Am, Capt. Mc- Atee; A. Mayer, Capt. McAtee; Judge Boyd, Capt. Stickel; A. H. Bradt, Capt. Roof; A. G. Johnson, Capt. Burns; F. 0. Beckett, Capt. Zimmerman; L. B. Agnew, Capt. Myers. Boats to leave Georgetown yesterday light and laden were as follows: Granite No. 2, Capt. Magruder; J. Spencer, Capt. Knight; Anteros, Capt. Chaney; N. C. Read, Capt. Dwenner; No. 116, Capt. Fisher; No. 122, Capt. Balor; G. 8. French, Capt. Lowell; Cor-solidation No. 4, Capt. Lapold; No. 119, Capt. Price; H. Hanecamp, Capt. Nave: fo. 124, Capt. Mrs. Stephens; Consolidation jo. 18, Capt. Snyder; W. H. Cooper, Capt. Baker; No. 13, Capt. Crampton. More Schools Wanted. Yesterday Chairman Ernest McCobb of the Tenleytown Citizens’ Association, who was appointed on the committee chosen to secure better school facilities for the Ten- leytown district, called on Mr. Jesse H. Wilson, the trustee supervising the fifth division, and asked his co-operation in ob- taining for the place an eight-room mod- ern school buliding. Mr. Wilson said he knew something of the needs of Tenley- town, and if it were alone in this respect something might soon be done, but that there were several other points whose claims seemed to be at least equal with Tenleytown and that the whole question resolved itself into one of congessional ap- propriation and that he hoped that the committees from the different school dis- tricts would direct their efforts in this di- rection. Only Temporary. A morning or two ago the residents along N street who have been annoyed and in- convenienced by the small quantity of water received at their homes came forth with smiling faces and made known to the people at large that they had once more been put on the high service and were consequently satisfied. The next morning, though, dissatisfied ex- pressions were again visible on the faces of the N streeters, and on asking for an explanation the reporter was informed that the high service connection had been but a temporary one, made to enable the play- ing of a couple of church organs in the neighborhood during special services. House Improvements. A house to cost $4,600 is being erected on the River road near Tenleytown proper by Mrs. A. W. Hunt, Mrs. Samuel F. Bur- roughs is putting $500 worth of improve- ments on her Rockville turnpike home, and John R. McLean is building an addi- tion to his Woodley lane home. ‘ Pataind Bete A FESTIVAL CHORUS. A Big Project With Anton Seidl as Direc tor-in-Chiet. The excellent work done by the centen- nial chorus on the occasion of the celebra- tion of the one hundredth anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of the Capi- tol was the subject of warm commendation on the part of every one who was a lover of music, and the hope was generally express- ed that such a fine body of singers shouid not be allowed to disintegrate, but that an effort should be made to hold the greater part of them in a compact organization. ‘The success in gathering together such a large chorus was far greater than was an- ticipated by the general committee, and veven the members of the music committee hardly dared hoped that the number would exceed 1,000. The securing of over 1,500 sing- ers was accomplished only by the most sys- tematic organization and the most ener- getic work on the part of the director in chief and all of his assistants. Prof. Cloward, who was the director in chief of the centennial chorus, believed that @ permanent organization should be effect- ed, but there were circumstances just at the close of the celebration that caused ac- tion on the subject to be deferred. One dif- ficulty was the obtaining of an orchestra to accompuny the large chorus proposed when- ever its concerts or festivals should take place. Was has @ number of mu- siclans, and good ones, too, but they are under engagement, so that they are not available when wanted, and there. is no complete organization that would work in harmony with a big chorus. If the rank and file would be willing, it was feared that there would be a jealousy on the part of the leader. So it was deemed necessary to get an orchestra from outside, and Prof. Cloward has, he says, secured the co-opera- tion of Anton Seidl, in some respects the greatest conductor in this country, who has agreed to take the leadership of the proposed festival chorus and to bring his superb orchestra to accompany it. In toa Star reporter the other evening Prof. Cloward said with Mr. Seid] on the subjest of the festival chorus. His manager, with whom I con- versed the last time I was tn New York, has informed me that Mr. Seidi will enter heartily into the project, and when 1 get back on Wedn: I wil! comence the work of organizing the chorus. More care will be taken in the selection of voices than was the case with the centennial chorus, and it will not be so large. My idea, how- ever, is to have it compésed of divisions or sections, each with an assistant director, and a set of officers, and the whole to be governed by a central body, to be selected from representative citizens of business qualifications, who will be interested in promoting the success of the en- terprise. There is no reason in the world why there should not be an annual musical festival in Washington that shall attract people from all parts of the country, just jas do the festivals at Worcester, Mass., and Cincinnati, and that is what this festi- val chorus will aim to accomplish.” Sede 8 RE The Capitol Camera Club. ‘The rooms of the Capital Camera Club at the corner of 7th and D streets are open | for the winter exhibition of the best work of the members of this prosperous and suc- cessful organization. The display this year is a most creditable one and many of the specimens of the photographer's work are {far beyond the average of the amateur’s | skill. There are a number of novelties pre- | sented in the way of curious pictures us | well as dainty and pretty ones, and the ex- | hibition, which ts to remain open for a | week, will well repay inspection and study. Among those who have specimens of their j work in the exhibition are Messrs. Lewis | McCormick, W. C.

Meeting of the Committees of the Three High Schools—The Details, At last the class of "83 of the Washington High School is to be united under one or- ganization. This was accomplished at the joint meeting of the Eastern, Central and Western executive committees Monday eve- ning at the residence of Miss Bresnaham, No. 424 M street northwest, when a resolu- tion was unanimously passed which per- manently unites the three sets of gradu- ates into one organization, namely, the » and will rival all previcus efforts attempted by School classes. The class of "88 is the first having representatives from the new East- ern and Western high schools and these, together with the Central’s, form the larg- est class ever graduated by the school. Resolutions were passed by the class which make the post graduate class of "3 and all orary members. The officers of the new or- ganization will be: President, two vice presidents, secretary, two assistants, treas- urer and two assistants. These,together with fifteen delegates from the class will consti- orations—Misses Welch, : and Brown. Refreshments — Messrs. Shealey, ci in; Rawlings and Ad- ams. Music—Miss Huntington, cha’ man; Mr. Edwards and Mr. ckel. At the reunion the officers wil be elected by ballot, something rarely at- tempted at a meeting of this kind. The plan is to have on the last leaf of the dance program a modification of the Australian ballot, which, after it has been filled out is to be detached and collected. While the votes are being counted the other class exercises will be carried out, after nounced. In this way much time can be saved and the business part of the uffair quickly accomplished.
