AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN New Treasures for the Growing Museum at the College, Electric Plant’ to Be Established at Great Falls — Chevy Chase Hunt ¢ Clab—Other Notes, The artistic possessions of Georgetown College are being constantly added to through purchase and presentation. The past year has seen an unusually large num- ber of valuable curios added to the collec- tien in the Coleman Museum.

The second night of the Western High School entertainment was as successful as the first. The hall of Linthicum was crowd- | €d to tHe doors. Applause greeted the efforts of all the participants—particularly those of the young ladies. Miss Cecelia Sullivan. a last year pupil of the school, who had been Tequested to assume the leading character quitted herself admirably. She both sang and acted in a manner that surprised Her voice is a rich soprano. Miss Cecil Me- Kee wes another highly appreciated one. Of the male characters in the operetta, | Pitcher, the policeman, furnished the most me: ‘The part was taken by Charles msburg. ‘The Indian Club drill, under the direction of Miss Hurst, was a graceful ce, and the songs of the quartet, composed of Misses Nordlinger and Sullivan, and Messrs. |McKe2 and Ramsourg, were unusually | Pleasing. |. In the “Geography Ted Gialogue, | Miss Hester Riigley and Miss Isabelle Baum | shone out prominently. The two performances netted about 3200, which will be applied toward the purchase of a new piano for the high school. Associated Cuarities. Speaking of those who attempt to impose | upon the aid organizations, Secretary Davis lof the first subdivision of the Associated | Charities, said this morning that the great lery that is golng up from the applicants jis that the hard times have thrown them |out of work. ‘hree-fourths of them, Mr. | Davis said, to his certain knowledge, wouldn't work if they could get it, no mat- ter if the wages offered were double what } cations come from the col- |ored than white? | “Yes.

Fifteen hunters from Philadelphia, Bal- | timore and Washington, engaged yesterday ;in the Chevy Chase run. The course was jone of the longest ever run, extending over j@ distance of six miles. The jumps taken were all stiff ones. Two of the riders went ‘ot in making one of the leaps, but were quickly up again. The hounds lost the trail ‘but once and that was when they left the scent to follow up a rabbitt that crossed their path. On the homeward run the whip requested that the ride be taken easily, as the dogs, owing to. the distance they had gone were quite played out. At the fin- ish, therefore, the hunters were pretty well bunched. ‘Next Wednesday the biggest | hunt of the season will come off. fin sa From the 21d, ‘The indians compel their women to bear in “Penelope,” the operetta presented, ac-— THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY! DECEMBER 21, 1893-TWELVE PAGES. WEIGHT OF A TON. Attorney Thomas Gives His Views on the Subject. In the last District appropriation bill there appeared an item allowing 50 cents per ton for the removal of garbage in steel tanks. Shortly after the law went into operation a question arose as to what num- ber of pounds constituted a ton. The con- tractors claimed that 2,000 pounds was the legal ton, and made returns on that basis. The first auditor, however, was not @is- Posed to pass the account until the Com- missioners explained the definition of the word “ton.” || Attorney Thomas was called upon to give | his opinion of the matter and today return- ed the papers with the following opinion: | “The act does not specify the number of “Pounds which hall compose a ton, and | hence we must go outside for a definition. | Among other definitions of the word “ton” ; given by Webster are the following: ‘The weight of twenty hundred pounds. In the United States ‘the tox ie | commorly estimated at 2,000 Pounds, this | 48 sometimes called the short. ton.’ “The | !aw in relation to the collection of Suties jon imports prescribes that whenever the Word ‘ton’ is used in reference to weigh- ing bulky articles in custom houses, it shall ;be coastrued to mean twenty hundred | weight, each hundred-weight being one hun- | dred and twelve pounds avoirdupois, but this section throws no light on the question. since but for the statute 2,000 poun: have been considered by custom house offi- cials as a ton.

The high school in this di- vision is located in the Curtis , Which was built for the graded Schools and is not adapted to high school work, but in addition to this, it is crowded now, and next year it is almost certain it will not ac- commodate the school, not even with mod- erate comfort. There should be water on ; the second and third floors for work, but there is none above the first floor. | After all, however, the most urgent reason | is that the Curtis building is n graded schools. There one receeh-ydleang only fit for a play room, schoolroom; one room is oe ina ——e jong since unfit for use.
