MASON, ja16-3m_ in School, Organisations—The Dif- ferent Clubs Prosperin: The second battalion drill last Monday afternoon was very satisfactory, but there is still room for improvement before the second can put up a battalion drill the equal of that of the first battalion. The second battalion is superior in company movements. The regimental drill which was to have taken place today has been postponed until the next clear drill day. This has certainly been a glorious year for the young ladies. Heretofore they have not been so prominent in school organizations, but this year they have come to the front and easily captured the honors from the boys. A military company of girls was never Known to the high schools until this year, when the Eastern has started the ball rolling with two companies of four fours each and a complete roster of officers. It is a novelty to see a company of girls that can execute the foot movements with as much ease and perfection as a company of boys, and to hear the captains give their commands one would think that they had received the same rigid instruction as the boys. The two companies at the Eastern are very expensively uniformed, and pre- sent an appearance even neater than the boys of the regiment. The young ladies have formed Indian club squads at two of the schools, and at the entertainments have put up exhibitions ‘that would do credit to professional swingers. The girls at the Central, not to be left behind, have started the most important movement in which the girls of the High School have been in- terested since the first years of its organ- ization—that of organizing a gymnasium for the development and physical training of young ladies. If the girls continue in this rapid pace it will not be'a surprise to see them playing foot ball next year. Amateur theatricals have held an impor- tant place in the work of a number of the students this year, and even now there are at least seven productions in rehéarsal by present students and graduates for fu- ture occasions. Cen 18 Rehearsals will soon be commenced at the Central for the coming production of “The Rivals,” which will be under the Stage direction of Mrs. Walton. It is very probable that but a few scenes and not the entire play will be rehearsed, and it is un- derstood among the. pupils that the per- formance will take place in the annual May entertainment. The cast of charac- ters, as selected by Mrs. Walton, is as fol- lows: Mjss Mazie Lynham, Mrs. Mala- prop; Miss Jenny Young, as Julia; Miss Grace Ross, as Lucy; Miss Syivesta, as Lydia; Mr. Robert Test, as Capt. Absolute, and Mr. Brandebury, Sir Anthony Ab- solute. ramatic entertainment will be given fey ce got of Maren at Martyn aie fnresact military be produced on that occasion with a cast comprised <a of high school students. Mr. Test will have charge of the enter- tainment and will issue tickets in the latter part of next month, so that a long sale may be had. This year has been a very favorable one for athletics, probably the most favorable since 1800-91, when nearly all of the schools had regularly organized © hletic associa- tions. Since “hen nothing very much has been dene in providing for the gymnastic training of the young gentlemen. This year it has been realized t an organized athletic class is the only way in which the boys can obtain regular exercise, and at the Eastern, such a class has been formed and has attained the best results. The young ladies of all the high schools have the advantage of the calisthenics classes and a great benefit is derived from the half hour of work that is allowed to each young lady every week. As far as the young la- dies are concerned, the Central has been the first to effect an organization for ath- letic training, in which all are invited to become members, and now the gymnastic classes are hard’ at work on the prepara- tory movements and exercises. Mrs. Wal- ton will personally conduct the classes and see to it that the new movement results |in a decided success. A large number of young ladies have already been enrolled, and a uniform gymnasium suit is under consideration. It is also expected that in the near future a quantity of apparatus will be secured. This movement on the part of the Central school faculty is cer- tainly a commendable one, and is worthy the immediate consideration of the facul- ties of the ofher high schools. Mills is now looking up good talent for base ball team. The foot ball season as far as the separate high schools are con- cerned has been very successful, and there is no reason why the coming base ball sea- son should not be equally so. Another club has been added to the Cen- tral’s long list of organizations, to be known as the Columbian Lyceum, and is one of more than two thousand socieltes belong- ing to the Lyceum League of America. The excellent object of the club, that of pro- moting the inteiligence of young gentle- men, aiding them in the preparation and declamation of current and miscellaneous arguments, is an assurance of its success and no doubt some very interesting public debates may be expected in the near fu- ture. The officers of the club, which is composed of young gentlemen from the first year only, are as follows: H. W. Cram- er, president; C. W. Clayton, vice president; G. M. Johnson, corresponding secretary, P. H. Moore, recording secretary, and Chas. Maher, treasurer. The class of '98 will give an entertain- ment in the early part of February for the payment of the class debt, which remains from, the recent reunion at National Rifles’ Arméry. The I. O. L. 8. is the title of a new club which has lately been organized among the seniors of this school. At a meeting held recently Lieut. Burbank was unani- mously elected as the president. Mr. Hubbard entertained the Hot Cake Club a few evenings since in a royal man- ner, and for orce the boys were abundantly supplied with hot cakes and maple sirup. The rhetorical of Wednesday afternoon was the first of the kind that has been given in the high school this school year, and was highly appreciated by the large audience that had assembled in the ex- hibition hall. Two. Shakespearean selec- | tons were produced on this occasion, and it is safe to say that they were the most | carefully prepared plays of that author that have been pregented by hich school pupils lin recent years. Especielly good were Mr. | Test, Miss Young and Miss Ross. | Mr. Philip Henry Buckler. a former pupil | of the school anda member of the class of | ‘88, visited the school in the early part of | the week.

Eastern. The “crazy wagon,” as it is commonly called, conveyed a number of the pupils of the Eastern to St. Elizabeth's Friday night, where an attractive program was given for the entertainment of the inmates of the asylum. The program consisted of a series of exercises by the girls’ Indian club class, clarionet solos by Mr. Philips of the Ma- rine Band, a drill by company Z of the young ladies’ battalion under command of Miss Bessie Erly; selections by the chorus, scenes from ‘Twelfth Night” and “Much Ado About Nothing.” For the former piay, the cast of characters used was: ‘iss Laura Eichelberger as Maria, Bertram G. Foster as Sir Toby Belch, J. L. Gatcheil as Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Allan D. Albert as Malvolio, and John C, Fitzpatrick as Fa- bian. The datter play was cast as follows: Miss Bessie Erly as Beatricé, Miss Alice Ir- win as Hero, Miss Eichelberger as Ursula, Miss Marie anderson as Margaret, Robert Floyd as Benedict, John Fitzpatrick as Claudio, Edwin Etz as Leonato, and Harry Leonard as Dom Pedro. Misses Erly, Ir- win and Eichelberger, and Messrs. Albert, Foster and Fitzpatrick were very good, while the others were but fair. The pro- gram went off very smoothly, and the re- ception given the students by the officials of the asylum could not have been better. The officers of the class of "94. are —— s lows: John Fitzpatrick, Bessie Erly, first vice president. Florence Bowman, second vice president; Miss Graham, corresponding secretary; H. Leonard, recording secretary; Edwin Etz, treasurer; Alien Albert, orator; B. (. Fos- ter, historian; Miss H. Diver, poetess, end Miss McIntosh, prophetess. The above, together with the following, comprise the executive committee: Messrs. Steward, Hill- yer, Floyd, Hart, Misses Etz, Spencer and Adams. The election appears quite satisfac- tory, and the executive committee met the other evening to discuss the class pia and colors. The contemplated reception was discussed to some extent, but nothing was definitely settled upon. The Debating Séciety gathered in iurge numibers on Wednesday to take part in the discussion of a fesolution advising the sub- stitution of a board of justices for the jury system. Mr. Albert led for the affirmative and Mr. Hart for the negative. “Progressive” leap frog is what the boys at the Eastern term their latest revision of the old-fashioned sport. Arrangements have been completed re- cently, so that there will be no more con- flicts of meetings between the various clubs. This arrangement will enable those who belong to the classical clubs to attead the dance clubs on alternate evenings. A sketch class has lately been organized by Miss McKnew, and some unexpected talent has already been developed. “Don” Fugitt has taken leavé of his friends at the Eastern, and is now attend- ing the Columbian Preparatory Scyool. Mr. Croissant has resigned his corporalcy in company G. The officers. of the Classical Club of '7, as recently elected, are: Mr. Chappel, pre: dent; Miss Potterm, vice president; Miss Durfee, secretary; Mr. White, treasure ‘rhe executive committee includes the above, together with tire following: Messrs. Erly and Hunter and Misses Hayne and Hughes. Hereafter the fourth-year classes will have Latin five times a week instead of four, as previously. The third-year chemistry pupils have Just entered upon a new branch of their wort qualitative analysis, while the fourth-year students are taking up quantitative analy- sis. Miss Cahill substituted during Prof. Sites’ recent absence. , Miss Grace Boothman, formerly of the class of "93, is now in the city stopping with friends. The officers of the class of ‘94, post grad- uate, are Miss Mary Kelly, presideft; Miss Katie McNaught, vice president; Mr, Geo. Tralles, secretary, and Mr. Robert McKel- din, treasurer. The above constitute an executive committee. The much-looked-for Critic will appear, so Messrs. Fraser, Hill and Chappel state, on next Friday. A breezy column, to be headed “criticolos,” will interest a number of the students, especially those wearing shoulder straps. "98 and "$4 pupils will learn with pleasure that their old friend and teacher, Mr. Kra- mer, who is now the principal of the Small- school, will give an entertainment on the Ist and 6th of next month, for the bene- fit of his school fund. A dramatic club has been proposed, but nothing will be done toward effecting an or- ganization until the present plays have Passed out of existence. Business. “american Hearts” is still in rehearsal, and will be given in the middle of next month at an entertainment to be held in Martyn College Hall. Miss Josie Weisman, formerly of this school and very popular in High School cir- cles, has returned to her home in New York, after an exceedingly gleasant visit with friends in the city. Mr. Lewis hardly forgets foot bail before he has his hands on the most expert base ball players in the school, and has secured nearly the entire team. The banks will Be opend in the course of a few weeks, ahd the school will again be flooded with useless money. An athletic association has been consid- erably talked of during the past week, and the proceeds of Thursday’s entertainment will be devoted to the purchase of necessa- ry apparatus, Western. Miss Wescott returned to her duties on last Monday after a painful absence of sev- eral weeks, and the work of the school is now progressing as rapidly as before. The class of '93 of this schoolwill not re- main with that of the Central, as elsewhere stated, but will continue, as the Eastern will do, as a separate class. The officers of the class are Duncan Brad- ley, president; Natlie Huntington, vice pres- ident; George Larkins, secretary; Guy Da- vis, treasure>. The Indian club classes will continue to exercise and will undoubtedly have other opportunities for display their proficient knowledge of the use of the club. It is likely that there will be no base bali team to represent this school with the othe> high schools. Miss Perry and Mr. Taussig have both re- turned to their respective colleges after de- lightful visits to friends and fellow class- mates in Georgetown. Now that Miss Wescott has returned, it is probable that the Short Story Club will be organized without further delay. Mr. Hawling very ably assumed the duties of principal du-ing Miss Wescott’s absence. Miss Anita Alke has accepted the position as head of the German department at the| Western. Miss Alke has but recently re- turned from abroad, and was at one time a teacher in tle Central High School. —<————_ Maryland and Virginia Commission. The joint special committee of Maryland and Virginia has agreed to recommend to the respective legislatures that no change be made in the headlands of the Potomac river, and that a concurrent culling law be pagsed for the Potomac. This law will make it a misdemeanor to violate the pro- vision, and its terms will be similar to the present Maryland culling law, which pro- hibits the sale of oysters less than tWo end a half inches in size. A bill embodying the latter recommendation was intreduced yes- terday into the Maryland legislature. ——__— i Fire destroyed yesterday at St. Louis the five-story building occupied be the Western Poot and Shoe Company and the Berhurd Gannon Shoe Compa! on Olive street be- tween 18th and 19th, with all contents. the footsteps of his brother Charles, aud is, now in the race for the rendition of the THE LAND OF THE MUSK OX What the Natives Oall the Land Mr. Stern Intends to Explore. Testimony of ti Eskimos Gathered by Dr. Franz Boas—The Fate of the Two Swedish Naturalists. Though the southeastern angle of Elles- mere land is sighted every year by the whole fleet of whaling steamers, yet the test of the land is practically unknown, hay ing been touched by white men only a three poinis, each time only for a few hours. Even the east shore, which i: marked by an unbroken line on our maps, was sketched by Inglefield at a great dis tance, and will doubtless prove, on accurate examination, to differ considerably from the form it now has on the maps. The west shore, for a distance of at least 200 miles, is entirely unknown. The Eskimos, however, both to the east and to the south of Ellesmere Land, seem to possess considerable information about that land. This fact was first ascertained by the crew of the Polaris, in their winter quarters near the Eskimo village of Etah, on the east side of Smith sound. One of their most devoted friends was an Egkimo Whom the Polaris people dubbed Jim, who stated that he had come from Ellesmere Land, which was visible on the other side of the sound. From Jim, or rather from his wife, who was considerably more intel- ligent than her spouse, it was ascertained that there were many Eskimo living in the neighborhood of Cape Isabella and all along the coast of Ellesmere Land. Jim said that his father-in-law lived there, and that in winter time they frequently commu- nicated with each other, crossing the Straits on the ice. He also said that the jand was an island, and that he himself had frequently gone all around it; that the Eskimo called it Umingmung Island, from the number of musk cattle which are found upon it. From this conversation it was in- ferred that United States or Hayes sound must turn to the southward and unite with Jones sound to form an island. It was also thought highly probable that the musk- ox Island of which McClintock speaks was, in fact, Eliesmere Land. ‘These statements are of the highest in- terest, as throwing light on the possible fate of the young Swedish naturalists Bjorling and Kallstenius, who were wreck- ed near Ellesmere Land in the autumn of 1s0z, and who, in the last note written by them, stated that they were starting for the nearest point of that land. As they had two rifles and a shotgun and pienty of ammunition, it seems quite likely Unat they may have survived, especially if they met the Eskimos, who, accordiug to the above reports, inhabit the east shore. Dr. Franz Boas’ Description. The most detailed and interesting data were obgained by Dr. Franz Boas, who spent a year among the Eskimos of Barlin Land, the large island west of Baffin bay. From information and drawings obtained trom natives who had visited Jones Sound and Ellesmere Land, he was able to sketch the outline of that land with considerable detail. 3 “The most exact description I received,” he says, “was from an Eskimo woman whorn I met at Cape Kater. She was born at Igluling in Fury and Hecia strait, had to Igluling, and afterward crossed the land to Admiralty inlet, which the natives call ‘Tudnunirossirn.’ There she lived ter a namber of years, and about fifteen years ago she started with a party to North Devon, which the Eskimo call “fudjan.” There is little intercourse between Baitin Land and North Devon, Lancaster sound being seldom covered by a solid ice flee, The north shore of Baffin Land (Civang of the natives,) is genefally washed by water during the whole winter. “Crossing the sound on siedges, these Eskimo passed a very small island, calied Ugiirn, most probably the rock seen by Capt. Adams in 1871, and in two or three days reached the opposite shore. They did not follow the shores of North Devon, but In four days they reached the north shore, whence a jong and narrow peninsula, ) lung, stretches to Ellesmere Land (their ‘Umingmam Nuna,’ ie, musk-ox land). Nedlung is divided from North Devon only tt high tide by a narrow strait, throuxh hich runs a very strong tidal current, which keeps open a water-hole throughout | the winter. wastes quickly in the spring, and forms a large basin of water abounding with seals. This strait, which is dry at low water, is called Tinitokajang. The peninsula of lung forms a sharp angle in a northwester- iy direction. Only that part of the penin- sula which lies nearest to North Devon is high and steep and forms ther north it is very low. The length of Nedlung may be about forty miles; its width three or four miies. West of it | there are numerous small islands, called | ‘Kikkertakdjuin," that is to say, islets; | to the east there are no islands. | “Having reached Umingmam Nuna, the | Eskimo fell in with a smal tribe residing }on this shore. Here they lived for some | time, as an abundance of seals was found | \during the whole year. Farther northwest ‘there is a large fiord, called “Kangirtuk- ak,’ off which an islahd is found, called | ‘Kikkertakadlinang.’ The Eskimo did not | go to the land on the other side of the fiord, as polar bears are said to be very numerous and large there.

As there is a nar- row neck of land connecting Cornwallis and Bathurst Islands, I was rather inelin- ed to judge this to be the place where my? Eskimo had been. However, her memory vould hardly have failed her in recoliecting ne passage over the ice of Wellington hannel, and besides, the description of sand, Umingmam Nuna, does not with Bathurst Isiand. In Jones cher found open water on May 20, 1858, a time of the year when the ice channels can only be wasted currents.

It would be teresting to find that Jones sound is there by a narrow neck of land. The ice Inglefield met with in J i862, may have drifted into easily from Smith sound as of Ellesmere Land. “The last reason leading me to Ellesmere Land ahd Umingmam the same is that the same to Ellesmere Land by the tives.
