THEIR THIRD = SEASON) } — { | Georgetown ‘has had numerous ameteur | organizations. Some have Lved long cnough to appear publicly twice cr thrice. Others | have struggled through a season. None untill recently bave survived for any length | of time, Many mothers lock upon the ama- | teur stage as a schocl where their sons and | @aughters would be surrounded with un- usual temptations, Conscientious amateur | acting, however, is proncunced by those who have had practical experience as hard work. It requires much thought, undivided attention and research. It is a strain upon the player—a strain that is both of a smen- tal and physical nature. ‘There is no time for anything but what js practical. To the amateur the task of memorizing the lines is a formidable cne. To the professional it is one of comparatively small moment. The learning of stage business is harder to the amateur than the memor-.zing of lines. To assume natural positions on the stage and talk naturally fs to the theatrical beginner difficult of attainment. Tacn there comes tne labor of rehearsal. It is impossible for any one who hasn't had experience to imagine just how harassing that kiud of work ‘s. With the “Linthicum Students” it is work Indeed. Stage Manager Balinger and As- sistant Manager Lowe have no respect for weariness. Emphasis, inflections and stage business must be given and acquired before | @ production is allowed to take place. To play before one’s friends is harder alw: than before thoee we have no particular in- terest In. Amateur stages don’t alwa: make actors. In ninety cares out of every hundred actors are born. ‘The amateur stage then serves only as a cuitivator, the step | that leads to a higher artistic sphere. Their Third Season. The “Linthicum Students,” one of the leading amateur dramatic organizations of the District, and the tpecial pride of Georgetown, where is located their hand- some $4,000 institute, the gift of the late Edward M. Linthicum, have begun prepa- raticns for their third season. Several new plays to be presente] have already been selected, in addition to the usual Shakespearean scenes with which the Lin- thicum programs are always interspersed, and an experienced committee is yet at work reading innumerable dramatic com- positions of all sorts, that the students may have at every appearance during the com- ing season sumething bright end something that has never been seen before. “Intrigue,” a comedy of four parte, will be one of the first productions. It has three male and one female character, and is replete with sayings and situations which cannot fail to catch the appreciation of those who love racy yet. clean-cut, inoffen- ve lires, sparkling with wit and satire. Coupled with this presentation will be that of the tent scene from “Julius Caesar,” given with scenic accessories. “Miss Helen Prentiss Dcnohue of the Edwin Baker company, and daughter of Dr. Donohue of &th street, will play the part of Lucius. She has a voice of exquisite sweetness, which will be heard to good effect in the ly song. It will be Miss Donohue’s first appearance wita the Linthicum Students. The Linthicum organization has a mem- bership of twelve, ull but two of whom are males, and graduates of the elocution de- partment of the Institute. The accomplish- ments of the members are various and thelr versatility considerable. Refined com- edy, tragedy, farce comedy and burlesque have all been presented, with the approba- tion of large and increasing audiences. Linthicum Hall, where most of the productions take piace, is invariably tested to its fullest capacity. Sketches of the Officers. R. Clinton Balinger, the president and stage manager of the organization, is, as ig the case with every male member, dis- tinctly a Georgetown boy. He ts a graduate of all the departments of the institute, carrying off the highest prizes. His original creations of old men’s parts and his dialect recitations have placed him prominently in the ranks of the amateur entertainers of | the city. He has also a fine tenor voice, and belongs to one of the church choirs. Robert Lowe, the assistant stage man- ager, and one of the organizers of the “Students,” has had many appearances and | many parts. He came to the “Students from the Edwin Baker Dramatic Company, j with whom he played leading heavies. ie has done equally well as “Othello” in the. instigation scene, Brutus in the quarrel scene m “Caesar,” Iciltus in the pro- duction of “Virginius, where he was su: rounded with professionals; “Cousin Fran! “Twenty Minutes Under an Umbrella” at the National and Albaugh’s, with Miss Daisy Hammack, prior to her professional debut, and while leading lady of the “Stu- | dents,” and various character parts. He is | @ conscienticus worker, and well educated | in all that pertains to the management of the stage. J. Barton Miller, the secretary of the or- ganization, and one of the charter mem- bers, has followed closely for years the theater, and taken an interest in all things theatrical. His work as “Cassius” in the instigation = quarrel scenes ‘aesar, “Iago” in “Othello, “Mivins” in “Polsoned,” and in the “Ra for a Dinner,” have been complimented highly. His careful study of the historical Parts assigned him made his conceptions artistic and natural. Of Varied Talents. Talbot O. Pulizzi has been on the profes- sional stage with Jennie Caleff, has played Marks, the lawyer, in the Drapers’ pro- duction of “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” has acted as secretary to several of the leading man- agers of the country, and has appeared in plays, sketches and recitations on numer- ous occasions in the theaters an halls of this and other cities. He “4 — ued member of “The Students.” ig v. —— plays By ecg pe with great success. s part in the “Make Your Wills,” “April Fools,” “Race for a Dinner” and other farces and comedies have given him enviable recognition. He is being be- sieged at all times by outsiders for recita. tions, imitations, etc., at benefits, chari- table affairs and miscellaneous entertain- ments. He understands the art of “mak- ing up” and practices it carefully on all occasions. Nothing, he believes, is a com- plete success unless the smallest detail is ret Keliher is the h james eliher is tl heavy barber, the criginal darkey, the laughable innkeeper. He draws funny situations from all his characters and hilarity from his audience. His Zeb in “A Close Shave” is one of the most ludicrous creations ever presented to a Linthicum audience. Nathan Weill, who acts as the treasurer of the organization, impersonates generally first walking gentleman parts, tn in several plays he has assumed the principa! part, notably in “The Great Elixir.” In —_ Fools” he shows off tc splendid ad- vantage. "awit B. Sebastian and Thomas Fiem- ing are the juventlés of the organization. Their in “Poisoned,” “A Close Shave,” and “A Supper for Two” has won many encomtums. I, Oettinger has played eccentric heavies and parts that could be filled by no other member. Miss Pullzzi has done this season (her first with the Students) work that indl- cates she has the talent of a pleasing act- ress. She is a sister of Mr. Talbot Pullzzi and a graduate of the Normal School. Her best effort the past season was that of “The Loved One” in “A Matrimonial Ad@- vertisement.” This season she will be seen in various parts. Last Season’s Work. Among the places where the students appeared last season as a body and in twos and fours as representatives of the whole were the National Theater, at the C. a.

The curtain always Goes up on time, the entrances and exits are promptly made, and pzecision marke every detail of the presentations. In every play selected the male charac- ters lai predominate, it having been feund that female talent does not always tend to facilitate rehexrsals or public pro- ductions, nor can it be disciplined as well. pened WILD HOGS IN ARIZONA. The Degenerate Progeny of Swine of Aristocratic Ancestry. From the San Franctsco Curonicle. The wildest of wild hogs live both above and below Yuma, on the Colorado river. While the steamer was lying et Castle Dome lanling a few @ays since, loading | with cre, a fine band of them on the oppo- site shore came do to the river to feed ca the banks, where the grass and weeds ereen, and to get a drink of water. y¥ paid no attention to the boat, nor to the Indians at work. After loafing «round for a while, an old boar came out of the brush, ani, on spying ws, gave a “swish, and awey they all went. Herdly a day passes that the Indians and cattlemen do not run spon them. These bands seem to be more timid than ugly. When the late Thomas Blythe was trying to settic a colony at Lerdo, forty-five miles Lelow Yuma on the Colorado, he sent down e large number of very fine full-blooded Berkshire end Poland-China pigs, and turned them loose on the benks of the river near Lerdo, where they lived on the roots, crass, weeds, tules and mesquite beans; bred, mul- | Uplied, kept fat and filled the low ana tule — with a large number of fine porkers. Xever seeing a human being, except now end then a lone Indian, they soon became , wild, and wilder still, and scattered until Une lowlands and woods were full of them. Notwithstanding that the coyotes slaugh- | tered the little ones in great numbers, they have increased until it is estimate? thet et the oe neo time are more then 10,000 | cf them_roaming up amd down the Colorade | and Hardie rivers, f from their mouths up es | high as the tide runs, or from sixty-five to veventy mend this side of the gulf. They wherever they se; nobting stops Aad in thelr course. When the Colo- vado is at its flood they will cross it from chore to shore, even near the Hardie, where it is four miles wide when at its highest gauge. Their range gives them the finest of feed—wild sweet potatoes, tul etray fish, clams, dead turtles and seaweed along the river bank at low tide. y are unmolest- ‘w and then by a hunter who y down the river. Most of the hunters give the wild swine a wide berth, except now and then as they to sy a nice little roaster on the bank and within easy rifle shot. A few years ago a man and his family were living a few miles below the colony, on the bank cf the Colorado. He had o pair of very fine, large staghounds, which the owner claimed could run down and kill any wild hog in that region. One day he tcok dogs and rifle and went for a nice lit- tle one, just right for the oven. He had not gene far before he found a large band of hogs, and turned his dogs loose on them. No sooner had they started when out of the tules near by jumped #n enormous boar, @ monster, who, with mouth wide open, pay- ing no attention to the dogs, made for the henter. The latter drew up his rifle and ‘ed, but on came the boar, the dogs uip- ping hir at every jump. The hunter fired a second shot, but on came the beast. The hunter turned and ran for a mesquite tree a.few yards distant, the hog close to his heels. He dropped his gun and jumped for his life, grasping a limb of the tree just as the hog grabbed his pants end tore one-half of them from him, but he was safe, just out of reach. The dogs ail this while ran grabbing the hog by the hind legs, to which the beast paid no atten- tion. The mad boar seized the bark of the tree in his great tusks and tore it into shreds. | Finally he turned upon the dogs, instantly killed one and wounded the other so that it died soon after. He then turned his atten- tion to the tree where sat the hunter. He gvarded him until it was dark. Twice dig the man get down and try to his rifie, but his foe was on guard and drove him back up the tree. During the night the boar left. Daylight came and so did help, The men had hardly reached the river and got in their boat when down came the old w hog after them in vain pursuit. eee The Old Ball Play. * From the National Review. | Inasmuch as the improvement of the tne | struments used in all exercises has played the most important part in effecting these developments, let us take a retrospective glance at the stock in trade of ball players in olden times. It is beyond our reope to trace the affinity of tennis with exercises in the Sphaeristerium, or to the gpames chronicled by Suetonius, Pliny and other classic writers; nor need we specalate ff the kampe described by Johannes Cinnamas in 1153 as an implement with a broad curved end furnished with a network of catgut, and which was used in a game which may have resembled polo or lacrosse, was the Prototype of the modern implement. We can form no opinion of the nature of the racket ailuded to by Chaucer about 1380 | in “Troylus and Cryseyde” or of the retic- ulum mentioned in the “Colloquies” of us, Which were published in 1527. But we have abundant evidence to show that in the fourteenth century a game of hand ball, which had been played in Spain and Italy, in open spaces in the country, became popular in the towns of France, and that the difficulty of fii adequate space suggested the utilization inclosed courts or the erection of suitable for the —— The courts were called tripots, but this word has falien into disuse, all tenats courts in France being now termed “jeux.” thie archaic game the ball was 1 struck with the palm of the hand, but early in the fifteenth cent) made to augment chanical — “bracciale,”” Hon: ry work of gut, game “pal 2,” and a net) ep: oot pernetid tong ont eget keg quently attached to a handle, probably fore- shadowed the implement which became known as “raqueta” in in Italy, “raquette” in —— ‘The sex ecu Stratagem.
