The Daughters of the American Revolu- tion celebrated the 119th anniversary of the battle of Lexington yesterday with a garden party at Kendall Green. All the chapters were represented and refresh- ments were dispensed by the ladies. A worthy program was presented. Prof. Gal- laudet was the master of ceremonies and made a few pleasant remarks by way of in- troduction. Mrs. Harry Heth also spoke and made frequent and appropriate refer- ence to the fight at Lexington. Prayer was offered by Mrs. Bullock. A cornet solo was ereditably rendered by Mr. Elphonzo Youngs, jr., and an original poem on the historic incident of Lexington was read by Mrs. Marion Longfellow O'Donoghue.

Metzerott Hall.—What promises to be a great success is the lecture on “Celebrated | Paintings of the Nineteenth Century,” by Lena Louise Kleppisch, at Metzerott’s Music Hall tonight. A knowledge of the famous| Pictures of today is desired by all progres-| sive men and women, but all have not the/ time to glean such information for them-| selves. Such should attend this lecture, where they can see copies of seventy cele- brated pictures, listen to their meaning and history and obtain a definite and compre- hensive idea of the most important art and artists of today. Convention Hall—The representation of| the Midway Plaisance at Convention Hall | is meeting with decided success, the attend- ance being good, both afternoons and even- ings. The increase has been notable since the management made a fixed price of 50 cents, which admits to all the various at- tractions. Everything is in first-class order mow, and the German, Irish and other vil- lages, the Turkish and Chinese theaters, and | particularly the electric theater,are crowded with interested spectators at every exhibi- tion. Those who did not go to Chicago can have at Convention Hall a good idea of what could be seen at the celebrated Mid- Way at the great world’s fair. Foundry Church.—There will be a concert at the Foundry M. E. Church tonight, at which some of the best local talent will be} heard. Noticeable features of the program | will be the popular Philharmonic Quartet @adies); Mr. Anton Kaspar, violinist; the Alpine Trio and Prof. A. W. Meyer, pianist. —_._—_ A Pastor Remembered. ‘The members of Mt. Carmel! Baptist Church, assisted by the friends and well- wishers, showed their appreciation for the zealous work of their pastor, Rev. W. P. Gibbons, by a surprise birthday party on Tuesday evening. The members, through Miss Anna D. Bell, presented him with a| handsome parlor suite. A half dozen silver knives and forks and one dozen stiver tea- | spoons were among the many things pre- sented by other friends. The pastor ex Pressied his gratitude in an appropriate Speech, in the course of which he took oc-| easion to thank his congregation for the | increase in his salary, from seventy-five to one hundred dollars per month. Re- ——s prepared by the ladies, were served. a Gen. Gibbon's Lectar A lecture on “My Life on the Plains, and What I Know Abcut Indians,” delivered by Gen. Gibbons of the United States army, attracted a large audience to Met- zerott Hall last evening. The audience was unusually appreciative, and Ibe-ally ap- Plauded the remarks of Gen.

CHAIRMAN GARDNER AND ASSOCIATES A Handsome Surplus After All Ex- penses Were Paid. A MEMORIAL PLAQUE ‘The final meeting of the Capitol centen- Rial celebration committee was held in parlor 10 of Willard’s Hotel last evening. ‘There was an unusually large attendance, the following members being present: Law- rence Gardner, chairman; M. 1. Weller, 8. W. Woodward, treasurer; J. W. Babson, H. L. Biscoe, Mills Dean, J. J. Edson, W. J. Frizzell, F. A. Lehman, Theo. W. Noyes, Chas. F. Powell, A. R. Spofford, A. F. Sperry, Henry Sherwood, Jas. F. Scaggs, Dr. J. M. Toner, Duncan S. Walker, L. C. Williamson, Marshall W. Wines. The meeting was called to order by Chair- man Gardner, and in the absence of Secre- tary E. B. Hay, Mr. A. F. Sperry was chosen secretary pro tem. Mr, Gardner explained that the meeting had been called to hear the final reports of the chairman, treasurer and chairman of the finance com- mittee, and to wind up the affairs of the committee. He thereupon read his report, which was as follows: The Final Report. “In presenting this, the final report, as chairman of the committee on the centen- nial of the laying of the corner stone of the Capitol, which was appointed by the Dis- trict Commissioners ten months ago, there has been some delay in making the report, for reasons explained to the honorable Dis- trict Commissioners, and by them approv- ed. As far as the business matters in rela- tion to this committee were concerned, so Well was the work of the subordinate com- mittees kept in hand that we were pre- pared to make our report within forty- eight hours after the celebration. “The first and important work was that of the finance committee. The committee had hardly proceeded with its work before we were overtaken by a financial depression that has been seldom equaled in this coun- try. Considering everything, it was won- derful what that committee accomplished, and it was only done by the very system- atic manner of its canvass and the close personal attention of the chairman of that committee, Mr. John Joy Edson. On ac- count of the difficulty in securing money, many of our plans in connection with the celebration had to be abandoned, causing much disappointment, but there was no way by which it could be avoided. In one instance, namely,that of the fireworks com- mittee, who had labored hard and prepared @ program to present to the people of the city, that perhaps had never been excelled in the District, no appropriation was made. And it was to them and the chairman a serious disappointment at not being able to carry out their part of the program. The work of the committee on invitations, under the direction of Gen. Duncan S. Walker, speaks for itself, and there is nothing that I could say that would add to the honor of that committee. Efficient Committee Work. “The committee on stands, with Mr. Wm. J. Frizzell as its chairman, had stands erected sufficient to accommodate all our guests and the choir. So well were their plans arranged that the great mass which we were compelled to provide for found am- ple accommodation. The music committee, with Mr. William A. Gordon as chairman, Dr. Frank T. Howe, chairman of the sub- committee on chorus, and Mr. Ralph Galt, chairman of the subcommittee on bands, performed the services assigned them with rare and marked ability, overcoming the many difficulttes thrown in their way. In this connection I should like to call atten- tion to the voluntary work performed by Prof. N. DuShane Cloward, in organizing and drilling his grand chorus, and feel that it is due Prof. Cloward that a vote of thanks be tendered him by this committee for the services rendered. At his suggestion a rehearsal was held of the choir at Conven- tion Hall, the proceeds of the concert nearly paying the entire expense of organizing this chorus, The committee are under obli- gations to Mr. James F. Scaggs, who took charge of the arrangements and manage- ment of all affairs pertaining to the concert, which was handled with eminent skill and success. “The committee on badges produced a badge that compares more than favorably with anything of the kind ever attempted in this city. The badge is well worthy of the occasion we were commemorating. Great credit is due to Mr. Thos. Somerville as chairman, and the very able assistance rendered by Mr. H. H. Twombly, as secre- tary of the committee. To his close atten- tion we are indebtéd to most of the surplus we now have on hand. The design for the badge and medal was furnished by Mr. George W. Casilear. A The Pi le on Time. “The parade committee, of which Gen. Ellis Spear was chairman, Mr. Charles W. Darr, vice chairman, did their work in a manner the citizens of Washington can judge better than this committee. On all sides I have heard nothing but the most favorable comments on the parade. One of the best evidences of the thoroughness of their work was the fact that the details had been so thoroughly arranged that when they turned their work over to the grand marshal, Gen. Albert Ordway, there was not the slightest hitch or mistake. In the management of the parade by the grand marshal it would be wrong to allow this op- portunity to pass without calling attention to the perfect precision with which the pro- cession was organized and moved. It was arranged by the general orders that the procession should- start from the White House at 1 o'clock, and as the city bells struck that hour the President’s carriage drove through the gates, passing down the avenue and reaching the Capitol at the time designated. “The committee on public order, Mr. H. L. Biscoe, chairman, had a very laborious duty to perform in seating the visitors on the grand stands. Their work was es- pecially hard in the evening. In connection with the illumination of the building, the committee on illumiration, Mr. F. A. Leh- mann, chairman, and Mr. W. A. Hart, vice chairman, did wonderfully well with the limited amount of funds at their disposal, nd if tt had been possible to have furnish- ed them with anything like the amount they esked for the prcper illumination of the building their work would have been more satisfactory to themselves and the citizens; as it was, they did wonders, Wo of Appreciation, “The committee on ceremonies at the Capitol, with Mr. B. H. Warner as chair- man prepared and presented a program that has never beea equaled or excelled for the number of distinguished men participat- ing. The press committee, Mr. Theo. W. Noyes, chairman, and Mr. H. L. West, sec- retary, rendered us very efficient aid, and to our local press, the Post, The Star and Evering News, that labored with us to keep the celebration properly before the public. we owe a debt of gratitude. The re- ception committee, under Mr. Berlah Wil- kins, as chairman, ret on the day of the celebration at the Arlington, where they received distinguished guests and escorted them to the Capitol. From McShane & Company of Baltimore the committee had he use of a chime of bells that rang at stated intervals during the day. “In conclusion, I desire to thank the of- ficers of the committee for thelr close at- tention and assistance in carrying out the work of the celebration, and to this com- mittee for its hearty co-operation, for with- out that our celebration could not have been a success. For myself, I desire to say that from many causes there were times when I felt like giving up the management of the celebration, on account of the many, many difficulties placed in the way of the committee. But by the advice of a number of good friends on the committee we strug- sled on, the celebration was a success and by it added another laurel to the wreath of the citizens of Washington as a generous and patriotic people.” A Generous Surplus, The report was adopted after some minor clerical errors had been corrected, and then Chairman John Joy Edson, of the finance committee, read the report of his commit- tee, showing that the amount of subscrip- tions had been $5,300.50, while the receipts from the concert at Convention Hall were 30, and $34 had been received from the sale of old material, making a total of $%,- 587.80, which had been turned over to Treasurer S. W. Woodward, ‘Treasurer Woodward followed with his report, in which it was shown that the total receipts had been $6,025.55, and the total disburse- ments $4,797.60, leaving a balance of $1,- 227.95. The balance was a most unexpected one, and the announcement was received with no little applause. Upon the motion of Mr. Spofford the re- ports were adopted with the thanks of the committee, and then the committee pro- ceeded to dispose of the balance. Chair- man Gardner stated that Congress had pro- vided for the publication of 5,000 copies of the proceedings of the celebration, of which number 1,000 copies were to be placed at the disposal of the committee. The mat- ter was about to be printed, but it needed some further editing, which Gen. Walker was doing, and at the suggestion of Chair- man Gardner the sum of $150 was appro- priated for the purpose of preparing the necessary cuts and other needed matter for the report. Upon the motion of Mr. Spofford, a com- mittee of five, of which Chairman Gard- ner was one, was appointed for the pur- pose of distributing the 1,000 copies of the printed proceedings, and also to prepare a suitable bronze plaque containing an ap propriate inscription to be placed on a conspicuous position of the Capitol puild- ing. For this purpose the sum was appropriated. The remaining mem- bers of the committee were named as fol- lows: A. R. Spofford, Dr. Toner, M. I. Weller and Duncan S. Walker. Thanks to the Officers. Upon the motion of Mr. Wines, Messrs. Spofford, Toner and Walker were appointed @ committee to prepare and present to the committee resolutions expressing the ap- preciation of the committee of the work | done by its chairman, treasurer and chair- | man of the finance committee, and the com- | mittee reported as follows: Resolved, That the committee of citizens of the District on | the Capitol centennial celebration con- | gratulate the efficient chairman, Mr. Law: rence Gardner, upon his most admirab economica} and successful management of | the business affairs of the celebration, and \ the thanks of the committee be tendered to him and the able chairman of the finance | committee, Mr. John Joy Edson, and to the treasurer of the committee, Mr. S. W. Woodward, for their untiring zeal in the ecnduct of the financial affairs of the cele- bration. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and Chairman Gardner returned his thanks in a few words, in which he assured the committee that the work of the committee had depended upon the great assistance he had received from the mem- bers of it. The disposal of any balance remaining was left to the judgment of the committee of five, and then, upon motion of Mr. Leh- mann, Chairman Gardner declared the com- mittee adjourned sine die. SHAKESPEARE’S BIRTHDAY. It W 1 Be Celebrated Tonight by the La Salle Liternry Society. The anniversary of Shakespeare's birth- day, which occurs on Monday, April 23, will be anticipated by a celebration to be held this evening at 7:30 o'clock by the La Salle Literary Society of St. John’s College. This organization has for its chief object the mutual assistance of its members in the study of literature, elocution and debate. In pursuance of this object they have de- voted themselves with commendable energy to the critical study of classic authors, both ancient and modern. The discussion of Shakespeare's works formed a special feat- ure of their private and class study. Hay- ing tested their strength by bi-monthly de- bates and by public elocutionary contests, the members, emulous of the noble tradi- tions handed down by thelr predecessors in the halls of their alma mater, resolved to use their best endeavors to inculcate a knowledge of Shakespeare. The members of the society determined that the surest means of becoming famillar with the spirit of this fundamental En- glish literature is to give public repre- sentations of some of Shakespeare's plays in a manner worthy of the exalted dignity of the author's genius, and of the tradi- tions of St. John’s. It was decided that instead of exhibiting any one play entire, it would answer their purpose better to give selected scenes from several of his plays. This entertainment is given likewise as a puble protest by the literary society against those who are en- deavoring to cast Shakespeare down. Mr. Vincent Lynch, a thorough Shakespearean scholar and a graduate of St. John’s, has been selected as director of the celebration. The La Salle Literary Society of St. John’s College was organized last Septem- ber, and named afte: the founder of the congregation of the Christian Brothers. The first officers were Edmund M. Power, Chas. F. Johnson, Stephen Giusta and Harry K. Bentley. From them the society received its character and constitution. The bi- monthly debates held were on “Chinese immigration,” “The Hawailan Question,” “The Income Tax,” and other current topics of national interest. The society is also col- lecting a library of standard and works of reference. Under the direction of Prof. Dolan and Brother Abdas, the members of the society have read critically a number of Shake- speare’s works, and tomorrow evening scenes are to be presented as follo Jullus Caesar, act 1, scene 2—Brutus, M. Power; Cassius, J. Edward Bullock. Julius Caesar, act 3, scene 3—Brutus, E. M. Power; Mark Antony, Andrew J. Sheri- dan. Richard III, act 1, scene 4— Clarence, Charles Francis Johnson; Brackenbury, Oliver Perry Johnson. Merchant of Venice, act 1, scene 3—Shy- lock, Charles Francis Johnson; Antonio, J. Edward Bullock; Bassanio, Harry K. Bent- ry. Hamlet, act 1, scene 1—Horatlo, Charles Francis Johnson; Marcellus, Oliver Perry Johnson; Bernardo, Edward N. Bowman; Ghost, Thomas Homiller.

Stephen Giusta; Patroclus, Andrew J. Sheridan. Mr. Edmund M. Power is now president of the society, and has, since its foundation, been the leading spirit in all its undertak- ings. He was born in California and has been a student of St. John’s for the last two years. He will enter the school of medicine next fall. Mr. Stephen Giusta, the vice presideni, was born in Washington and has attended St. John’s for the last five years. He is re- garded as a brainy and promising young man. He will study law. Mr. Harry K. Bentley, the secretary, 1s a close student and inherits from his father the patriotism of an old veteran officer. W. Carrell Diamond was born in Mary- land, has been a constant student at St. John's and is preparing for a course in engineering. The censor, Mr. J. J. Murphy, won the gold medal for elocution last June, and is a very popular young man in the college. Louis P. McKenna, the librarian, has en- tered every elocutionary contest since 1891, in which year he won the academic gold medal. “He excels in English composition. —_—___ Accomplished Musical Pupil The vocal scholars of Mr. G.
