Foster for another concert, to occur on December 5 in Convention Hall, The last rehearsal was a great success, the choir never having sung better. The sing- ers nearly filled the large auditorium of the First Baptist Church. The next rehearsal takes place tomorrow evening at 7:30 o'clock in the Mount Vernon Place M, BH. Church, northeast corner of {th and K streets northwest. ‘This meeting is not one for the public, and ft will be necessary for all singers’ and members of the orchestra to wear thelr old Moody choir tickets. Great pressure has been brought to bear by the singers to induce Director Foster to introduce some finer musle in connection with the old favorites in Gospel hymns. He has, therefore, consented, and will In- troduce at the next rehearsal several excel- lent anthems for use at the concert. This will no doubt materially add to the interest of the choir me nb selves, as well as the attractiveness program. It is expected that Mr. F Jacobs of Chicago will be one of the soloists, and already a Great success soos a1 AFFAIRS INGEORGETOWN A Sacred Concert at the Police Station Last Night. Are Treated—A Sac- Evangelist at Work— Other Local Notes, How the Gues: Inebriate Georgetown reveled on Saturday aight, and the nurnber of characters taken in by the police was unusually large. All the cells at No. 7 were occupied yesterday, and some were doubly tenanted. ‘The condi- tions of the prisoners were various. Some were fceling good, others shaky and dis- agreeable, while others still were suffering that burning thirst, splitting head and tor- turesome stomach that follow the long Gebauch suddenly brovght to an end. “When a man is brought to the station on Saturday night who has been going it so hard and continuously that the air sevyms full of great, fat, bulbous snakes with spots of brilliant orange, and wings and long forks emanating from their tongues, isn’t it terribly wrecking to him physically to cut him off from Hquor with almost a jerk and kzep him closely confined for twenty-four or thirty hours?” asked The Star man of Lieut. Swindcils. “In extreme cases,” was the reply, “we give a small quantity of liquor off and en, but it is only given as a medicine and on the prescripticn of a regular physician, or Dr. Sheckell, who resides rear the station and who has beeu of great service to us often. Our ordinary ‘Saturday night drunk’ does not suffer on Sunday, and is easily satisfied with hydrant water served to him in his cell through our little spouted watering can, which we poke through the bars that shut him in. If he develops an extraordinary thicst and we think he has had enouvh wa- ter, we give him a little liquor on the ad vice of 2 physician, from some filled flask taken from him on-entering, or from so:ne like prisoner. “While we don’t cater to the comfort of our patrons, we try to keep their health from becoming impaired while with us.” There was a sacred concert at the station last night. ‘The officers called it sacred, be- cause it was held on Sunday night. Some of the prisoners were in a tuneful frame of mind, and they expressed themselves ‘ac- cordingly, There was a soprano, who was arrested for disorderly conduct, who sang with dramatic effect, pacing up and down her cell and waving her arms as if she were fiercely buttling with mosquitoes. He: voice had extensive range and considerable breadth, though her style could not be gen- erally commended for ease and proper re- serve power. The effect of her personality was a sort of wild intoxication. The tenor was a greasy-icoking fellcw,which account- ed for the warmth with which he sang. He gave an orig ty to his song through the bi-section of which he ac- complished by a shoestring vertl- cally against his lips, on a line with the nose. The bitsos were plentiful and strong. Some wer2 coal heavers, others scorned work, The ceil els all ranks, though, and they sang toget At some quiet Ine a grunt of disgust would be heard from a dis- interested prisoner, but It didn’t stop the song. One after another floated out through the bar3 ast-ide of sturdy breaths, struck the brick walls oposite, rebounded, helter- skeltered through the walking space and then escaped through the ventilator. Successful Evangelist. There ts an evangelist conducting a series of revival services at the Congress Street M. P. Church who is working his hearers up to an unusual degree of religious fervor. He ts known as Wilson, the “Blacksmith Evangelist,” and is from the eastern shore of Maryland. He has never entered the ministry, but has proven himself a power at every church where he has appeared. Evangelist Wilson is not an educated man, but makes up with conscientious earnestness what he lacks in ministerial force. He is of the Sam Jones order of evangelists, in- terspersing his exhortations with rude and unpolished, but striking, similes. One of his remarks last night was: “I am on the gangplank of a boat headed for heaven with a fist full of free tickets. Who'll go with me?” At Dr. Hammond's Churcb in Baltimore Evangelist Wilson made 200 con- verts, His power there seemed irresistible. He wi led to the service of God, he says, while working at his forge, and an unseen iritual something has kept at his back ever since urging him on. Wanted a Wheelbarrow. Charles Barnes stole a wheelbarrow on Saturday night from a resident below the canal, carried it to Mayfield & Hieston's wood and coal yard, and stole a load of fuel. ‘hen the police stole a march on Charles. Yesterday he said he wished he hadn't “got mixed up in de little ditticulty,” though he will have a warm place unt! “summer comes again.” otes. Major Ellis was arrested for carrying con- cealed weapons yesterday. Sister Clementina Lukens, a domestic at Georgetown Convent, died yesterday morn- ing, in the sixty-elghth year of her age. Death was brought on by pleurisy. Sister Clementina was a native of Maryland, Her funeral took place today, the interment be- ing made in the convent burying ground. Poorly Paid Principals. To .he Editor of The Evening Star: In your Issue of this date the East Wash- ington Citizens’ Association recommends an increase of 100 per cent In the pay of teachers of the first grade, of 75 per cent In the salaries of the superintendents and of 60 per cent in the salaries of the supervis- ing principals, There can be no question as to the inad- equacy of the compensation of the first grade teachers, But the fact must be pat- ent to any intelligent person sufficiently in- terested in our schools to inform himself by personal observation of their workings that there 1s another class -of teachers whose claims to increased pay should take precedence of those of the supervising prin- cipals or superintendents. The amount of work devolving upon fe- male principals of elght-room butldings is out of all proportion to the pay they re- ceive. To the work of preparing pupils for admission to the High School (in itself sufficient to’ absorb every minute of the school day) 1s added the supervision of the building, which in its detalis not only im- poses much extra care and responsibility, but causes frequent interruptions of the legitimate school work and extends the length of the school day from one to two hours. In consequence of these interrup- tions, too, in many instances, these teach- ers find it impossible to cover the curricu- lum, and are forced to employ at their per- sonal expense special teachers for. certain branches. This is manifestly all wrong. Elther the salaries of the principals should be Increased or essistants should be ap- pointed by the board of trustees to relieve them in the supervision of the buildings un- der their charge. JUSTICE. —_— National Sanitary Company. In the equity suit of Carter against the National Sanitary Company the Equltable National Bank of Baltimore has asked per- mission to intervene. The bank alleges that it is a creditor of the company and holds insurance policies and trusts to cover the same, and-prays that the debt may be enforced against H. F. Turner, A. L. Ja- yeau, T. B, Ferguson, C. 8. Carter, C.R. Nutt’ and J. M. Fox, ‘who indorsed ‘on the company’s netes to the bank; that the suits now pending against the company be consolidated; that the receivers, John I. Middleton and Matthew Adains,be restrain. ed from further using the money collect- ed for insurarce; that they be required to account for such money already used, emounting row to more than $6,000, and that the assets of the company be sold and the money equitably distributed. It is alleged in the bill that the insurance, as adjusted by the insurarce companies, amounted to $29,027.68, and that the bank has received $14,095.45, and claims a bal- ance of $6,988 on its notes, beside cost of litigation. i Died on the Box.

The Philharmonic Club has already ar- ranged its program for its second concert, which will take place at Metzerot! Hall on the 22d instant. The soloists will be Dora Valesca Becker, a violinist who is said to be of superior ability and who has acquired quite a reputation even during the brief period she has been in this coun- try, and Anton Schott, the great German tenor. Mr. Schott is, of course, well-known here, is highly popular and Is always heard with pleasure. The club will play Beetho- ven trio and an Espala for piano, violin and violincello by Emanuel Chabrier. Mr. Lent will play a ‘cello solo, Mr. Rakeman will do Musin’s Caprice de Concert for violin and Mrs. Lent will give a piano solo. Miss Becker wiil have two numbers upon the program and they will introduce com- positions by Ries, Wieniawski and Sara- sate. Mr. Schott will sing two Wagnerian selections, a couple of songs by Cornelius and the well-known “Two Grenadiers" by Schumann. The club this year will be seen under better auspices than heretofore because its concerts are given in a larger hall and the members will appear to much better advantage. Besides, with each year their improvement in ensemble playing 1s manifest aud their selections are always made with excellent taste and care. Mr. Lent, who may perhaps be called the business end of the Philharmonic Club and whose nervous eaergy must find some way in which to expend its force, has now conceived the idea of forming a stringed orchestra, and is going to devote his en- ergies to that end. He believes that there are enough players upon stringed instru- ments in Washington to form a gvod, re- spectable orchestra and that they can do excellent work and furnish enjoyment not ouly to thetr friends and the public, but to other organizations as well. ‘The propo- siticn Is not yet fully developed, but Alr the success Lent is confident of of the movement. The performance of “Jack, the Giant Kille unc the a ices of the ladies of the Loyal Legion, It has now been detinitely Getermined, will take place at Albau Opera House on Friday, the #0th instant. This date has been selected because the children will have a holiday, it being the day after Thanksgiving, and will not in- ter: with “the regular Saturd: inees. The rehearsals, which take Tuesdays and Saturdays at Legion Hall, on 10th street, are progres ly, the chil- dren all taking great interest in their work. Prof. Howard, the composer of the opera, is bringing his force into good subjection, and it is safe to say that the choruses will be sung with a volume of tone and an effect that has rarely been heard trom children. dy been said, the melodies are simple, though expressive, and are easily grasped by juvenile voices, while the spoken lines are such as are readily retained, so that the rapid progress that has been made has been due as much (uv the ingenulty of the composer originally, as well as to his industry in directing the present company. There will’ be several dances introduced, which will be under the direction of Prof. J. H. Vermllya, and Mr. Sheridan Ferree will drili the little ones in the various marches. Mr. H. P, Hoover will be the accompanist, On Wednesday next the ladies of the committee in charge will be at the hall all day with costumes of the various kinds needed, in order that the mothers ‘of the children who have not al- ready arranged for their costumes can con- sult with them. At the beginning of last season, the af- fairs of the Georgetown Orchestra were in a somewhat uncertain condition, owing to a change of conductor, which seriously af- fected the enthusiasm of the active mem- bers. Yet notwithstanding these unfavor- able conditions, last year was the most suc- cessful season in .the history of the or- chestra. Mr. Hermann Rakemann,who was induced to wield the baton, developed ex- ceptional ability as a conductor, and as he continues in that position this year, the members look forward to even greater achievements. Mr, Rakemann has just re- turned from Europe, where he has heard &@ great deal of the best music, and where he selected quite an extensive repertoire for the voncerts of the orchestra this sea- son. Rehearsals are progressing in a satisfactory manner, many new ei have been admitted, and the orchestra will number sixty-five musicians at its first con- cert. This is a statement by Mr. BE. W. Stone, the secretary, to whom good mu- ficians desiring to become members should make their application, addressing him at his residence, 1114 10th street. The sale of subscriptions will take place at Metz next week, and will be upon the terms as last season. The orchestra prides itself upon the fact that ft is not a n cenary organization, but Is purely ed - tional. Its receipts are devoted to the edu- cation of its members, At its first the soloists will be Mrs. Thomas and Prof. John Porter L ‘A very successful rehi arsal of the orches- which will accompany the cantata of ah,"" was held on Wednesday even- ing last, under the direction of Prof. W. Lawrence. The orchestra is compose of well-known local musicians, and each seemed to enter into the spirit of the com- position thoroughly, making the effect quite satisfactory. Tonight a gencral rehearsal for both orchestra and chorus will be held at Mr. Lawrence's studio, 1003 th street rorthwest. The chorus 4s ‘particularly weil balanced, and will undoubtedly reflect credit on themselves as weil as on Prof. Law- rence, who is working with his characteris- tic energy. The date for the presentation of this cantata has been fixed at January 18, 1893, and the solo work will be rendered by professional singers Prof. T. Williams Pearman will gtve another of his musical evenings at the “Maples,” corner of 6th ani South Carolina avenue, on Thursday evening next. The first one to which reference has already been made, was so delightful, both in enterzain- ment and instruction, ti it is believed the serles will be productive of a decided infivence upon musical circles in this city. There has been a shaking up of ti Epiphany Church cheir, both the soprano, Mrs. Annie Craig Hills, ani the baritone, Mr. Frank Reeside, having tendered their resignatioas, It is understood that a Mrs. Buckner from New Orleans will replace Mrs. Hills,"and that a Mr. Griffith will take Mr. Reeside’s place. Both Mrs. Hills and Mr. Reeside are well «nown in musical circles, and the quartet, as formerly consti- tuted at Epiphany Church, was noted, act only for the excellent character of the mu- sic that it sung and the artistic manned in which it was interpreted, but for the ex- cellent balance of the voices. It is to be hoped that the new people will prove worthy of the places they ‘ive been calle] upen to fill, ; The board of directors of the Choral So- ciety has engaged for the role of “Delilah” in its production of Saint-Saens’ “Samson and Delilah” on April 17 next, Miss Mary Louise Clary, ® young lady having a mag- nificent contralto voice of wide range, and who from all accounts, seems destined to shortly reach the foremost place as Amer- {ca’s greatest contralto. Indeed, excellent critics have pronounced her as having al- ready achieved that enviable position, and deciare her the best contralto on the con- cert stage since the retirement of Anna Louise Carey. She made her professional debut with the New York Symphony Or- chestra, in New York, in Apri 3, in the role for which the Choral Society has now engaged her. - She ts a native of Loulsville, Ky., and in private life is Mrs. Reming. ton’ Squire, a daughter-in-law of Senator Squire of Washington state. The roles of the two false witne: the Choral Society's production Men- delssohn’s “St. ‘aul’ next Wednesday evening, will be sung by Mr. Henry W. Hughes and Mr, Eugene E. the society. Mr, Hughes evens, both of hh Michael and All Angels, and y under Dr. Kimball Mr. Ste is the bass of the quartet choir at Dr. Parson's Church of the Reformation, and is a pupil of Mrs. Mills. At the rehearsal this evening the seats in Typographical Hall will be arranged Just as they will be on the Convention Hail stage, members of the chorus committee will conduct each singer upon arrival to the seat corresponging to that which he or she will occupy at the concert next Wednesday evening, 7th in- stant.
