The Coming May Concert—Regimentai Field Day—General Athletics, Base Ball and Literary Topics. Physical culture for the young ladies has become an important feature of the Wash- ington High School instruction. At the Central School, on Thursday morning last, an exhibition was given by a number of the girls before the girls of the school. It embraced club swinging to musical ac- companiment, by several classes, exercises in the Delsarte movements, that give ex- pression to the feelings, and ended with gestures suggested by “The Last Rose of Summer,” as that song was rendered by a quartet located behind a curtain. The af- fair was a pleasing novelty, and for the first time showed the school as a whole what is being accomplished by these classes. ! More attention than formeriy is being devoted to the work during the present school year. Since the Christmas holidays a room has been fitted up with chest- weights and Indian clubs, special classes organized and everything possible done to popularize the physical culture branch of instruction. 1t has resulted, among the young ladies, in better dressing, improved | health, a superior class of food for iunch and an erect and proper carriage of the body in walking. The expectation is that a rowing machine will soon be added go the gymnasium. Dr. Lane, principal of the school, is deep- | ly Interested in this department. “I would like to see all the pupils take a certain amount of personal pride in their physiques,” he said, “and not walk along with chins resting on their breasts, and wearing an expression on their faces as though apologizing for being alive.” The next musical afternoon of the series in progress at the Central School will be devoted to a recital of the compositions of Gounod and Schumann, and the date is to be Wednesday, April 11, when it ts ex- pected that five or six performers will par- lcipate. The young ladies, at present, ere devoting the spare moments during the day in developing their general inteliigence cn current topics, and to the discussion of the musical works that later are to be illustrat- ed at the above recitals. The Annual May Concert. Hardly six weeks distant is the annual and eagerly looked for May concert. The pupils feel that this event is particularly their own affair. Dr. Lane has jong held that an entertainment that would prove a complete success in the graded schools is not what the High Schoois should furnish. | It should not be such a one as parents wll | simply tolerate, but an exhibition te be ap- | Preciated. In former years, during the re- gime of fancy drill squads and the like, it was a simple matter to provide a popular | list of attractions, but since such things have been abolished, the arrangement of a | suitable program, excluding professional | talent, has become a serivus task. The | feature of the first entertainment under the new system was Hub Smith's “New Year's | | Reception.” It was given three years ago | |and proved such a success that the cast | was invited to render the operetta va sev- | erai occasions at outside halls. “The As- | trologer” was sung the following year, and j |in May last one of Howell's farces con- | stituted the chief attraction. Whether or not an operetta or a farce will be presented this spring has not as yet been determined. It was expected that “The Rivals” would be given, but that ce- _ | pends to a large extent on the taient of the | -pupils assigned to depict the several char- \acters. | Should the final decision be in iavor | exists among the scholars to secure a cust without enlisting the aid of outsiders, Principal Lane has communicated with Maj. Ross, drill instructor of the cadets, requesting the latter to settle in his cwn mind the feasibility of holding a regimental field day this year, to take the place of the customary company competitive drill. The | question must be settled in the near future, )and as both Dr. Lape and Maj. Ross are | heartily in favor of the proposed change, it is almost a certainty that the innovation will be determined upon. Should the dield | day become a reality, a gala occasion will | then be recorded in the pages of High School history, The presence of visitors has been one of | the. features at the High Schools during the | past week. The influx was due to several ! Haster excursions of school teachers from | other cities. A party numbering 180 mem- bers was registered at one hotel. Business and Western. Athletics in general and base ball in par- ticular are attracting the attention of the male portion of the Business High School. | An athletic league has been formed, with R. Wilkening as president, W. Clabaugh secretary and L, Stewart treasurer. ‘Ine league will equip a gymnasium as soon as a suitable room can be secured for that pur- pose, and it also contemplates holding a field day in May. A game of base ball was played at 3:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon between the first teams of the Business School and the Georgetown College reserves. The perso: nel of the Business nine is Frisbee, Fry and Clark, pitchers; Smith and Wimsait, catchers; Lewis, first base; Appleman, sec- ond base; Kerr, third base; Combs, short stop; Lyman, center field and captain; Muth, left field; W. I. Smith, right field, and Grayson substitute. Mr. Wilkening,the manager, has arranged for games with th Canterburys, Fat Men’s Club, St. John’ College of Alexandria and the Baltimore | City College, in addition to the champion. | ship contests with the clubs representing the other high schools. The Business boys | expect to have no difficulty in vanquishing | the Centrai team. The second team is com- i | | posed of Moudy and King, pitchers; Daniel, | catcher and captain; Grayson, first base; | Hughes, second base; Russell,’ short stop: Hinton, third base; Larman, ‘center field: Gorman, left field; Jones, right field, and | Baukages, substitute. The manager of this |nine is Mr, Stewart, and he is awaiting chalienges from any ‘team whose members are not over seventeen years of age. Hundreds of people visited the Western | High School last Saturday evening. They were there in response to an invitation from the pupils to witness “An Evening With Dickens.” One hundred and ten stu- | dents participated in the entertainment. As Miss Etta Hanger cleverly introduced them eighteen of our old friends from Bleak House appeared upon the platform. They were followed by the same number from David Copperfield, and in like manner twelve from Our Mutual Friend, eight from Dombey and Son, eleven from Old Curios- | ity Shop, thirteen from Nicholas Nickleby, eight from A Tale of Two Cities and Crick- et on the Hearth, nine from Oliver Twist | and Barnaby Rudge, five from Martin Chuz- | ziewit_and nine from Pickwick Papers. Mrs. Walton, the elocution teacher, read a selection from A Tale of Two Cities and jone from Pickwick Papers. Then every- | body repaired to the second floor and danc- |ed and indulged in refreshments until 11 o'clock. The affair was a novelty and prov- | ed thoroughly enjoyable. | A meeting of the Short Story Club was | held on Wednesday afternoon last at the Western School. H. C. Bunner was the author whose works were discussed. Mr. Holcomb read a sketch of Bunner, Miss Westcott gave a selection from “Crazy Wife's Ship” and Miss Stewart followed with a reading from the "The Nine Cent Girls.” |In addition Mr. Holcomb gave a brief sketch | of the author. The officers of the club are Mr. John Lacy, president; Miss P. Hanger, vice president and chairman of the com- | mittee on programs, and Miss J. Moore, cor- | responding secretary. The organization meets on every other Wednesday, and the program, as arranged, includes discussions of the works of Richard Harding Davis, on April 11; Mary Tappan Wight, on April 25; De Maupassant, on May 9, and De Alarcon, | on May 23. All members of the Short Story Club are encouraged to contribute original papers in the line of pastels, sketches, prose, poems or short stories. These manus-ripts will be judged by a committee appointed for | that purpose, who will arrange from the contributions a program for the last meet- jing of the club. All manuscripts must be handed to the president as early as May 23. | Notes of Interest. | Miss Clark of the faculty of the Business School believes in the proverb that “Music | hath charms to soothe, &c.,” and has organ- ized a girls’ glee club, with the Misses Peter- sen, Heilburn, Einstein, Carroll, Larman, Cocks, Klingle and Edson as the singers. Miss Callahan ts pianist for the club, which holds rahearsals every Tuesday afternoon. | A girls’ debating club has also recently | been organized, and is in charge of Mr. Ralph R. Upton. The Franzonian of the Central School will | hold a meeting on Friday next at the resi- dence of Miss Phillips, No. 9 7th street | northeast. | Miss Hamilton will entertain the Senior Club of the Central School at her residence this evening.

Two hundred and fifty members of the choir which recently sang at the Moody meetings in Washington left that city for Richmond Saturday afternoon to take part in the Moody services here. The special reached Richmond at 7:40 p. m. The party was met at the station and escorted to the Young Men's Christian As- sociation building. On arrival there the Washington singers were ushered into the hail, where several hundred of the Rich- mond choir were gathered, Rev. Mr. Hines, chairman of the recep- tion committee, as soon as the applause created had subsided, introduced Mr. Foster and the Rev. J. Calvin Stuart, chairman of the | music committee, then welcomed the visit- | ors. The Washington choir made a beautiful — by singing “Blest Be the Tie That nds.” Mr. Foster said many of the members of the choir were members of Christian En- deavor societies, and that Washington Christian Endeavorers were desirous of en- tertaining the Christian Endeavorers of the world in 1894, The rallying song, “Washington, '96," was then sung in a spirited manner, Mr. Foster accompanying the singing with the piano. Refreshments were then served and, after looking about the splendidly appointed buliding of the Y. M. C. A, the visitors went to their hotels. Many attended the morning services at the various churches, and seventy-tive of the Washington singers were present at the meeting conducted by Evangelist Bliss in the Old Market Hall. They were of great assistance to Mr. Bliss, and he made a grateful acknowledgement. The whole party proceeded to the Taber- nacie in the afternoon. As soon as the choir had arrived, Leader Jacobs nounced the first hymn. “Joy to thi World” and the “Banner of the Cross” were sung, and then Mr. Moody asked the Washington choir to sing “What a G Mr. Jacobs was then called aw; overflow me@ting, and Mr. Fos was requested to lend the combined choirs. The chorus will return home this after- noon on a special train. The chorus is pro- nounced here to be the finest that ever visited Richmond. They were heard by 7,000 people, and as ma.y were turned y. The chorus intended to return this morning. ——._—_ For Emancipation Day. The committee for the southwest @ivi- sion of the emancipation celebration are making satisfactory arrangements. Rev. H. C.

Every safe manufacturer has attached to his force expert locksmiths, whose duties consist in opening safes which have gotten out of order. Many of the accidents to safes occur from the gross carelessness of their owners, and at times the honest safe crackers enjoy a quiet laugh at the expense of a group of bank officers or the proprietor of some im- portant establishment. Not long since a large manufacturer tele- graphed to a New York safemaker, reques' ing that a man be sent at once to his plece of business, a town about fifty miles from the city. Upon reaching his destination the expert, with his kit of tools, repaired to the esiab- lishment and was informed that the vault, an old-fashioned affair, which locked with @ key and which contained the safe and books of the concern, could not be opened. The man exammed the lock and then ¢ key, opened his kit, took out a bit of wire and began to dig a mass of dirt, dust and lint out of the key. Then he inserted it ia the lock, and, while the proprietor, with a sickly smile looked on, turned the imple ment and opened the door. “What's your charge?” asked the manu- facturer, ifty dollars,” replied the expert. “Does any one know you are in town?” “No” Well, then, re's $60," remarked the manufacturer. ll give you $10 extra if you'll take the first train back to New York without telling any one the price I've paid to have a man dig dirt out of a key for me.” From the New York Herald. ‘There is a stalwart beggar on 6th avenue who makes as high as $10 a day on these pretty spring days when shoppers are abundant and joyous. He is the big fellow who sits behind a little white poodle at the intersection of 22d street. He is supposed to be blind and to sell pencils, but he can see well enough to drive the curious children away when they shut off the view from the crossing crowd. The poodle is a prett innocent thing, with a small basket in hi mouth, into which the people pour thelr odd | pennies and sometimes silver. Every now and then the man on the cushion behind the dog reaches around,tak the basket and turns its contents into his hand and thence into his capacious pockets. Then the women shoppers come along, cast an eye of sympathy on the dog and {ill the basket up again.
