The Teas Yesterday Were Numerous nd Interesting—Per- sonal Notes, Mr. and Mrs. Leiter gave their friends a delightful entertainment last evening by a musicale, at which the Russian choir singers were the artists. The choir, a’ tired in their native peasant dress, made a picturesque group, and their rendition of Russian folk songs was probably a treat never before enjoyed by most of those present. The company was large, but the mansion is so spacious that all could see and be seen to advantage. The hostess, who was gowned in black velvet, trimmed with old Venetian point lace, was assisted by her daughters,Miss Leiter,who was look- ing unusually handsome in a white satin gown brocaded in morning glories, and Miss Nannie Leiter, who wore green satin, with pink roses trimming it.

Her mansion was gayly decked with the club's colors, scarlet and white, in ribbons and in floral designs. greens, quantities of scarlet _poinsctta blooms and red carnations helped to make the complete effect.

Miss Hyde of Baltimore | presided at the egg-nog bowl in the hall, and in the tea room, where the flowers and dainty appointments of the table were all pink, Mrs. Emmons and Mrs. Padgett did the honors. There were musicians playing throughcut the reception, and many of the older families of the District were repre- sented in the callers. Mrs. James K.

College Si s a Play. The students of Gonzaga College present- ed the play of “William Tell” last evening in the college hall. The success of the per- formance did credit to the dramatic talent of the college, and recalled to many that were present the memorable performances given by the college students in the past. ‘The role of William Tell was filled by Jo- seph D. Rodgers. The impersonations of Gesler by Charles V. Moran, and of Melctal, Christmas | De | Mrs. | coats | | the old blind man, by Edward O*Donnell, | were especially notable. But what won | most the audience was the presentation of | Albert, Teil’s son, by Master Daniel J, Cox. | Among those present at the play were Mg Sbarretti and Dr. Papi of the papal del gation, and the members of the faculty of Georgetown Universit gations Sot htrk Out of Debt. Yesterday the Memorial Church of the United Brethren Church was the happy recipient of a Christmas present of $1,625 from the general church beard. This, to- gether with the $00 raised by the local church here, cleared the property, corner R and North Capitol streets, from all debt. Last night, when this announcement was made by the pastor before the audience which filled the church for the Christmas entertainment, a great appause was given, which indicated their appreciation, and the audience joined in singing “Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow.” This church and pastor has been struggling for the past year to get out of debt. The Christmas entertainment held last night was a success and all went away happy. ——_— Students Invited to Debate. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the District of Columbia has in- vited the graduates and students of Spen- | cerian Business College to hold a public | debate on the subject of “Prohibition of | the Liquor Traffic,” and requested them to | name the time and place. The young peo- | ple have scpepted the invitation, have agreed to. select twelve of their number to hold the discussion, with the under- standing that both sides of the question | shall have a fair field and no favor, and have named the evening of February 8 as the time and Metzerott Hall as the place. As the liquor dealers and their patrons, as well as their zealous opponents will be thoroughy interviewed for points and arguments, a lively time ts expected. os A Federal Labor Union. At a meeting to be held next Monday evening it is expected that the laborers who are employed at the government printing office will take the initiative in the formation of what promises to be the largest labor organization in the District. It will be composed of laborers, messen- gers and elevator operators, and as there are several thousand of these in the city it is hoped to get a large number into the new body. It will be known as a Federal Labor Union and will be organized by M: James A. Power of the American Feder’ tion of Labor, with which organization jit will be affiliated. Mr. Power is quite enthusiastic over the prospects of the new organization, as it will be the first of its kind to be formed in the District, and he anticipates a membership of at least 2,000, pean Jacketing Gu The officers at the Washington navy yard have decided to return to the old sys- tem of jacketing guns. The recent test of the Sellers method has proved somewhat unsatisfactory. It was tried in the case | of an elght-inch nickel steel gun, and | while the jacket was put in place, the op- | eration was attended with some difficulty. Under the Sellers plan the jacket is heat ed in a horizontal furnace, and the tube is then inserted in it. Hereafter ali the big guns will be assembled in the old way by heating the jacket in e@ vertical pit and . then dropping it over the gun tube. The workmen have become so expert in the operation under the old system that accl- dents rarely occur, and the officers have concluded that better results can be ob- tained under it than under the Sellers plan. —————_+- 2+ _____ Burglars have robbed N.
