Many People Anxious That This Kind of Masic Should Cont ee Those who favor the continuance of the hand organ as a means of affordiag music to the masses say that the one who first went to the District Commissioners and en- deavored to have an order issued prohibit- ing the playing of that instrument in the Streets of the city was one with no more music in his soul than a tide-water clara. The Star allowed an objector to the hand organ to state his grievance and since then replies have been coming in thick as the to whom the music of the peripatetic piano is a continual source of pleasure and de- light have not been heard from directly but following are three communivatio: which are fair samples of the views of thos believe in letting the hand n stay: Let Them Eara a Living. To the Editor of The Evening Star: If the hand organ men's case has not been closed, will you kinaly allow me to say a word? Heaven knows there are few | enough avenues open to men by which they | can earn an honest living in this city. certainly seems as if, from the Commis- sioners down, there fs a continuous and an- noying effort made to close what few ways there are, by petty and persistent persecu- tion. These organ men are trying to earn a living, they pay a license fee (1 presume), they interfere with nobody, they give plea ure to a good many peuple. Let them have @ chance. Today it is the organ men against whom the cry is made, tomorrow it will be the vender of fruits (and we will read of the police “running in” a number of them on some frivolous pretext), in a few days it will be the huckster trying to sell his fish or his berries. Our officials ought to encourage every ef- fort men make to keep from beggary or crime, and earn an honest dollar, instead of discouraging it, and every citizen who wishes well to his kind ought to support them. It Pleases the Children. Why must the street organ be abolished? It gives pleasure to many persons who can- not afford to hear either Patti or Paderews- ki. It pleases children and many others who are prevented from attending evening concerts. In my own household, when in- | validism has kept us at home, the street | Organ has been hailed with delight, and its | cheering influence has been fully appreci- ated. It has been stated as an objection that some organs are flat and discordant, | but surely this difficulty exists even with the brass band, and we have found that the street organ is as much attuned to melody as other instruments. So why break up a time honored institution? It can do no harm; is not injurious to morals, and while a few may not appreciate the simple music, many like it, and many also whose sole means of livelihood it is ald suffer and become vagrants. Let philanthropic folks consider this. Cc. How to Escape It. Your correspondent with the dog Latin name and a long purse asks to be informed where he can find a spot free from machine music. He is hereby informed that Con- gressional cemetery is a very quiet and re- tired spot, so quiet that the street cars stopped running there from lack of custor it is the ideal spot for him, for the dago never goes there—dead men have no peanies to spend on music. There is no charge for this information. The organ grinder should be encourazed | rather than suppressed; he is a source of pleasure to thousands of poor children in this city, as witness the black, white and colored who any day and all day dance in the marketplace to his piping. The son of Italy is doing a good work on small pay; give him a cent and iet him play the whole string, and then put in a fresh barral; it 1s cheaper and better than the phono- graph, AMICUS. coe ee An Ancient Engjish Church. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your issue of Monday, March re- ferring to the installation of Rev. J. Rus- sell Verbrycke as pastor of the Gurley Me- morial Presbyterian Church, which was to eceur the following day, your correspord- ent takes occasion to “poiut a moral and adorn a tale” by allusion to “x church” that was built “over a century since near London, England, a considerable distance from the walls, which from {ts location was called St. Martin-in-the-Fields.”| Dropping into a philosophizing mood, he says: “Now and in his mind’s eye he sees the Gurley Memorial of the future in the center of a vast ietro- politan population. | The prophecy may be all right; at all/ events, no man living can bring proof that it will not be fulfilled; but your correspond- ent is a matter of several hundred years | out in his chronology, inasmuch, as St. | Martin-in-the-Fields is by many, many | years “over a century,” naving been built | by the ancient British Christians during | the Roman occupation, bezun by the con- quest of Julius Caesar in the year 55 of our | era, and continued for some 30) years, It may interest some of your readers to know that a few years ago Rev. Dr. Leon- ard, now Bishop of Ohio, but then rector of St. John’s Church, this city, brought from England one of the bricks from cid St. Martin-in-the-Fields, whicn was placed in St. John’s Church, its locatioa being marked with a plate, or small tablet. M. oa Municipal Art Society Competition. Owing to a variety of circumstances the list of the jury on the competition invited by the Municipal Art Society of New York for the decoration of the court room of | Oyer and Terminer in the new Criminal Courts building, for which purpose the so- ciety will devote the sum of $5,000, has been changed, and now stands as follows: S.

Albaugh’s.—Rhea at Albaugh’s appeared last night in her dramatization of novel, “The New Mag- dalen.” The story is one which awak- ens the sympathy of the audience to a strong degree. It is a study of humanity conceived by a man who has made a reputation as a student of his fel- |low men, and dramatized with great per- | ception as to the developn.ent of good stage | |effects. Mlle. Rhea appéared in the role of | Mercy Merrick. It is a part which calls for | the womanly grace, the delicate pathos and the emotional power which have made | Rhea the famous actress she now is. It is a story with a moral, the moral being the more powerfully impressed because the tale is so told as to fasten the interests of the audience. The company is a capable one, | Mr. W. Hart being particularly good in | his impersonation of Julian Gray, the min- | ister. The New Magdalen will be repeated tonight and Saturday afternoon. | Mr. Stoddard on “Old Japan."—Mr. Stod- | dard delivered the second of his series of | lectures on travel in Japan last evening at the Academy of Music. As always, the | theater was filled with people, who were | | both interested and fascinated by the lec- | turer's pictures and descriptions of oriental \life. The subject of the evening was “Old | Japan,” and he took his hearers on many a pleasant jaunt into the interior of the i ids, giving them an insight into the | manners and customs of the people, who have not yet become altogether tainted by contact with western. civilization. What | surprised his audience perhaps most of all, | or at least that portion who were not par- | ticularly familiar with Japan, was the | amount of picturesque scenery that the isiands contain. Numerous views were given of Fujiyana, the great volcano, a symmetrical pyramid, so familiar to us in all Japanese works of art, pictures, screens, | fans and vases. The mountain rises 12,000 | feet high, and although it has not been in active eruption since early in. the last cen- tury, yet it is always a menacing possibil- ity, and shows signs of activity in its steady emission of sulphurous vapor. Thousands | of pilgrims make the ascent of the moun- tain every year as a sacred duty, and in summer time the matter of religious’ pilgrim- ages becomes so marked a feature of Japanese life that more than 100,000 take | to wandering about from shrine to shrine, begging their way as they go. Through the mountainous sections of the country even the narrow roads over which the jin- rickishas go are impassable, and the only means of transportation over these narrow rocky paths is the kago, a little cramped seat suspended from a bamboo pole carried } on the shoulders of two stout porters, that sways about like a drunken pendulum. The absence of horses and cattle, and, in- deed, of ail animal life, in the interior is particularly noticeable. This is partly the result of their religious belief, as Buddhism regards the taking of life as a sin. The food of the natives consists entirely of fish and vegetables, a rather limited diet fro: ur point of view, but, judging from th specimens of fine muscular development everywhere to be seen, Mr. Stoddard was of the opinion that it was amply sufficient | for all the What seem needs. od to impress Mr. Stoddard most forcibly, as, indeed, it has all trav- ‘elers in this delightful land, was the evi- dent pleasure that the people take in life. | They are cheerful and happy to an extreme, and if they have any troubles they manage |to hide them very effectually. Life in Ja- pan is attractive, not only for the Japanese, but for all who visit the islands. A more courteous, hospitable and considerate peo- ple nowhere exist, and Mr. Stoddard spoke of Americans who have gone to housekeep- ing in Japan, and are fascinated by the | contrast it makes to the troubles of the housekeeper in what we call civilized lands. | | The lecturer said that if he were able to} give a complete idea of iife here he would not be surprised if some of the women in! the audience should go back to thelr homes, | drop a dynamite bomb into their kitchens and sail away for the tslands of Japan, and set up their household gods in that charm- j ing He spoke of the religious side of | life, Shintoism and Buddhism, and showed | how the latter, with its attractive and ar- | tistic featu appealed strongly to the love of beauty inherent in the Japanese. | After speaking of the amenities of life and | its philosophy Mr. Stoddard made one | rather caustic remark that, judging by the applause with which it was received, was | jin line with the opinions of many of his | hear ‘And yet we send missionaries to | Japan | The First Matinee.—The first of the Stod- {dard matinees will be given tomorrow at | | the Academy of Music, when Mr, Stoddard | will repeat the charming lecture on ‘“Pic- turesque Japan,” with which his season opened. | William Penn and the Founding of Penn- | sylvania.—Tomorrow, at the third regular lecture of her course on “The English in | | Ameri, at the Builders’ Exchange Hall, | at half-past 11, Miss Jane Meade Welch | will treat of the early settlement of Penn- sylvania by the Quakers.

When the Jackson City pool rooms were recently closed because of the passage of the Mushbach act by the Virginia legisla- ture, it was understood by those on the inside that pool selling would be resumed in a very sho-t time at a place not a thousand miles away. It was explained that the Mushbach law permitted the business on regularly conducted race tratks and on fair grounds, and hence it was de- cided by the Jackson City people that, to escape th provisions of the law, it was only necessary to remove to the nearest race track, run two or three scrub races a day, and otherwise pretend that a legiti- mate race meeting is being conducted. In pursuance of such a plan, it is ncw Stated that Monday next the Gentlemen's Driving Park, situsted near St. Asaph Junction, about half way between this city and Alexandria, wiil be opened by J. M. Hill, manager, when the pool sellers will take possession, three trotting races being run to being the track and pool selling within the protection of the Mushbach law. It is said that betting will be conducted on outside races, that being, it is under- stood, the one purpose in opening the track. Later, it is said, a se yn of regular racing will be inaugurated, especially if it should be found impossible to secure the passaze of a_ bill permitting bookmaking in the District. It is explained,?, however, that the Virginia management will not permit other gambling than pool selling, it being their purpose to put a stop to the various games which flourished at Jackson City.
