COLUMBIAN VERSUS GEORGETOWN The Annexation of Hawaii to Be Discussed. THE PICKED MEN The closing event of the series of joint debates between the representatives of the debating societies of Columbian and George- town universities will take place tomorrow evening at Metzerott’s Music Hall. The interest in these debates has increas- ed steadily from the time when they were imaugurated, and college pride has been brought out to a remarkable degree by the contests which have thus far taken place. The first of this series of debates was held In the hall of the Columbian Universi- ty in January. “Chinese Immigration” was the subject under discussion, and the judges rendered their decision in favor of the view taken by the Georgetown debaters, namely, that Chinese immigration should not be re- stricted. The second debate was held at Metzer- ott’s Hall in February. The income tax was under discussion, and it was the decision of the judges that in view of the arguments advanced by the Georgetown adherents the United States government should levy an income tax. The debate of tomorrow evening will be upon the subject: “Resolved, That the Unit- ed States Government Should Annex the Hawaiian Islands.” Columbian has the affirmative, and will | be represented by Mr. Paul T. Gadsden of Scuth Carolina, Mr. Harris Dickson of Mis- sissippi and Mr. Fred Achenbach of Mis- souri. The negative will be supported by the Georgetown debaters, who are Mr. Daniel M. Kellogg of Wisconsin, Mr. William J. Cronin of Rhode Island and Mr. Archibald M. Willett of Alabama. Mr. Thomas Gresham, president of the Debating Society of Columbian University Law School, will preside and make the in- troductory address. The judges who will decide the question upon the merits of the debate will be Sen- ator M. C. Butler, James B. McCreary and Gen. John Gibbon. The program of the evening will include numbers by the Columbian University Ban- jo and Mandolin clubs. Thomas Gresham, Mr. Thomas Gresham, who, as president of the Columbian University Law School Debating Society, will preside at this de- bate, was born in Chesterfield county, Va., March 28, 1867.

On two occasions, once at Nashville, Tenn., and once at Char- lottesville, Va., he represented Sewanee at the intercollegiate oratorical contest, and during his attendance at the university won medals for Latin, for essay, for decla- mation, for oratory and for debate. In Oc- tober, 1891, he entered Columbian Univers- ity Law School, and last June took the LL. B. degree. He was chosen a represen- tative of his class on the annual prize de- bate in 1892, and again in 1803; was elected president of the society for the spring term, 1893, and was one of the three debaters of | Columbian in its successful contest with the Washington Y. M. C. A. last year. At present he is a teacher in the Washington Business High School, where he has been for the past two years. Harris Dickson. Harris Dickson of Jackson, Miss., was born twenty-five years ago in that state, where, up to a few months ago, he has been a resident.

THE CHORAL SOCIETY A Splendid Performance of Haydn's Crea- tion at Convention Hall. A Large Attendance in Spite of the Bad Weather—Good Work by Soloists and Chorus. The Washington Choral Society brought its eleventh season to a close most aus- piciously last night by an excellent per- formance of Haydn’s “Creation,” at Con- vention Hall. The driving storm did not prevent a good attendance, and the gener- ous applause after nearly every number at- tested the satisfaction of the large audience at the work done. Next to the “Messiah,” the “Creation” is probably the best-known of oratorios, and its beauties of melody, of chorus numbers and of orchestration were never better brought out in this city than | |last night. There are but three solo parts in this oratorio—those for soprano, tenor | end bass—and these were taken by Miss Lillian Blauvelt, Mr. W. H. Reiger and Dr. Merrill Hopkinson. This was, perhaps, the | Most satisfactory cast that the choral so- jelety has ever presented. Miss Blauvelt made her first appearance in Washington and she made a decidedly popular success, | a8 much by her pleasing personality as by her vocal equipment. Her voice is clear, true and well cultivated, with a carrying power that easily filled even the large hall in which she sang. There were two things lacking, however, to make a complete ar- tistle succe: distinctness of enunciation | and the devotional sentiment which 15 so essential to a complete interpretation of oratorio music. These, however, were not Breatly perceptible to the audience, for the | applause she received in every number in- | dicated their gratification at the work which she did. Mr. William H. Reiger is unquestionably the best tenor oratorio singer that has | been heard in this city in many years. | His | Voice is smooth, even, well trained, and he delivered his tones with feeling and good taste. In the solo, “In Native Worth,” he | was particularly effective, and at its close was rewarded with the most emphatic applause of the evening. He is a singer who will be gladly welcomed to Washington again. Dr. Merrill Hopkinson had been heard here before, id the excellence of | his work is well known. He fully sustained | the good opinion he had created by former visits here, and in all his work was artis- tic and effective. In the solo quartet In the last number, Mrs. Herndon Morsell sustained the con- | tralto part effectively, and by the way this lady's voice, which was once such an ad- dition to the Boston Ideal Opera Compa has been too rarely heard in the concer room in recent years. The orchesiral work was efficiently per- | {formed by the Peabody Symphony Orches- tra of Baltimore, and their tasi compos! the Creation he melodic effe and in the kiven sor s. ‘The accompaniments were all pacunmed with good ta being a sup- port to the singers, and not at any time overpowering them, The most eifective work by the orchestra was the introduction to the third part, which was very exceile ly performed. A pipe organ supported ma- terlally many of the recitatives, and th accompanist, Mr. John P. Lawrence, was thoroughly satisfactory. \ The work of the society itself is deserv- ing only of the highest praise. In precision of attack, in obedience to the will of the conductor, in delicacy of shading and in volume of tone, it was all that could be desired, and showed conclusively improven f nt directe of |, and each provement over its work of the previous season. It is now prob: of mixed voices that Was |seen and even greater things may be ex- pected of it next year. There seems to be ja perfect harmony of feeling between sing- ers and director, the one recognizing the interpretation of’ the other and striving to carry it out in the most perfect manner. in the well-known chorus, “The Heavens Are Telling,” which is probably better | known than any other chorus, unless it may | be the Hallelujah chorus from “ Mes- | siah,” the society was decidedly at its best, | and ‘could have easily taken an encore from | the enthusiastic applause which followed its | conclusion, had the airector so d i. Al together, Washington has additional reason to be proud of the Choral So and to give it the strongest encouragement for its future prosperity. Aside from furnishing entertainment for the cultured and refined {t has proved an educator to the masses bj offering the highest form of musical compo- | sition at prices that are within the reach of those of moderate means. Its aims, how- | he * ever, are still higher. It has now under consideration a project to found a home for all the musical societies of the District, and to that end {its members and board of di- rectors are bending their energies. It is be- | Neved that there is in Washington a suiti- | cient number of wealthy people interested , in the art of music who can be induced to furnish the nec ary means for the estab- | lishment of such a home, and those who are most active in the enterprise are satisited that a buildings for that purpose wili be erected in the’ not distant future. Next | Monday evening the Choral Society will hold its last meeting for the season, when the re- sult of the election ast Monda ight will be made kno-vn and the names of those who were chosen to be directors for the next three years will be announced. it is ex- pected that there will be a full attendance of members, and it is probable that the sub- ject of a musical home will be broaght up and discussed. Sensation in a Murder Trint. The trial of Charles Goodrich, charged with the murder of the wealthy Mrs. Mary Cron, who was killed and cremated in the house of her son-in-law, Frank Wheeler, developed a sensation at Chicago yesterda Dr. Julia Ebert, called for the defense, tes- tified that several times previous to the wo- man’s death Wheeler endeavored to induce the doctor to put his mother-in-law out of | the wa’ iggesting the use of poison. Wheeler, the witness stated, said he wanted | Mrs. Cron’s money. Wheeler indignantly | denies the story. The prosecution claims that Goodrich was one of a trio of burglars, who, in attempting to rob Mrs. Cron, killed her, and then fired the house. Wheeler shot to death one of the fleeing burglars. Dr. Ebert admitted on cross-examination that she had been married and divorced four times, and said she formerly owned massage parlors in St. Louis. She also said jhe was a spiritualist, and claimed to be a medium.” THROW IT AWAY. ‘There's no long. er any need of wearing clumsy, chating Tru: which give only partial relic! at best, never. ee but, often inflict great injury, inducing inflammation, strangulation and death.

I had never been out at the track before, and having a day on my hands while in Chicago, con- cluded to take the outfit in, When I got there it was snowing hard, but that didn’t stop anything worth a cent. The boys were selling programs; the touts were getting in their work on any susceptible visitors they could run across, and the bookies, clad in ulsters and storm coats, were shouting their odds as cheerily as if the suh was shining and a summer breeze blowing over the bet- ting lawn. Every race was run in the srow storm and the flakes fell so thickly that only the start and finish could be seen. The fourth race was a four-and-a-half-fur- long dash, and there was long delay in the horses getting off, but none of the judges could see what was going on at the post. At last a bunch of horses came out of the storm and they said Linden Boy had won it. I was glad of this, as I had a two- dollar bill on him et 8 to 1.

When I left the ground was covered with snow three or four inches deep, and the fifth and last race of the day was just going to be run.” “Billy Mason of Chicago is very anxious to step into Senator Cullom’s seat when it becomes vacant,” said Arthur A. Green of Chicago at the Riggs House. “It may be considered in some quarters that Billy is merely indulging in some of the humor that made him so well known when he was in the House of Representatives, but such is not the case. He believes that a senatorial toga would look very picturesque on his figure, no matter if it is five feet high and four feet broad, and has been doing some Not long ago it happened that some legal business, as he called it, took him into Jasper, Clark and Richmond counties. By some ‘hocus-pocus or other the republican conventions in chese counties were just on the eve of being held.
