Alderman Powers had been charged with attempting to procure $25,000 to repeal an anti-cigar- @tte ordinance, SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA. Yesterday was a red letter day at the German Orphan Asylum, Anacostia, and the attendance of friends from Washington was s0 great that several herdics, which had been. specially engaged by tho officers of the institution for the purpose, were constantly employed for a number of hours in carrying visitors from the street car terminus to fhe asylum, about half a mile, ‘The occasion was the annual Christ- mas festival for the children. The exer- cises began about 3 o'clock. President Chas. Graff presided, and made an address of welcome. All the exercises were in German, except the singing of two songs in English, which were regarded by all present as forming two of the most mage features of the entire program. ‘hese were a duet, “I Want to Be an Angel,” by Misses Lola Wood and Bertha Ermold, and a trio and chorus, “Listen to the Christmas Bells,” the several parts of which were sung by Misses Lola W Emma Kraft and Bartha Ermold, and th chorus by the children of the institution. Mr. Simon Wolf, who was consul to Egypt during President Hayes’ administration, made an address appropriate to the event, and Mr. Anton Eberle urged upon the audience and all: others who could be reached by their influence the necessity and duty of contributing toward the sup- port of the orphans in a liberal manner and with a cheerful spirit. The other ex- ercises on the program were rendered as follows: Overture, by a band of musicians, under the leade: ip of Mr. H. Donch, all of whom volunteered their services; prayer, by Superintendent Henry Ermold; decla- mation, Miss Katie Kraft; song, by the children; declamation, “Welcome,” Mi Emma Kraft; song, by the children; dec! mation, “Dream of Christmas,” Miss Ida Kraft; song, “Once Every Year,” the chil- e382 dren; declamation, ‘Pleasures of a Christ- mas Tree,” Miss Julia Kolzen; song, the children; declamation, “The Christmas ree,” Miss ismma Zuschnitt; song, “Quiet Night,” the children; declamation, “United We Are Again,” Miss Mamie Lavender; song, “Schafer’s Sunday Hymi the chil- Gren; deciamation, “fhe Christmas Car- Miss Mabel Kraft; song, Tannen- the children; dialogue, “The Santa Joseph Guenther and Miss Ida ; “thanksgiving Song,” the children. The tree which contained the presents for the children, each of whom received some- thing useful in addition to a box of candy and an orange, and the room in which the exercises took place were beautifully dec- orated with evergreens, under the super- intendence of- Mr. and Mrs. Henry Er- mold. ‘he supper arrangements were in charge of Mr. #. F. ‘Treiber, assisted by members of the Ladivs’ Aid Society and Ladies’ Sewing Society of the asylum. The annual election of officers of the Anacostia M. KE. Sunday school was heid on Friday night last. At the earnest solici- tation of the other officers and the teachers of the school, Mr. H. A. Linger was re- elected superintendent. The other officers were also re-elected, as follows: Assistant superintendent, Mr. David FE. Haines; sec- retary, Mr. J. H. Dony; assistant secretary, Miss Cora Ktzler; librarian, Mr. Albert Cator; assistants, Messrs. Frank Mclean and George Shoemaker; treasurer, Mr. Louis J. Smith. Miss Linda Pumphrey was chosen organist, to succeed Miss Cora Mc- Lean, who will in future be the organist of the Anacostia Baptist Church. The Anacostia river, which ts frozen from shore to shore, was the Mecca yesterday for hundreds of skaters. From Pennsyl- vania avenue bridge to Giesboro’ Point there was excellent skating. Most of the persons kept rather close to the shore, but one young man from the city, who was a ttle more reckless than the others, ven- tured too near the channel, and slipped with one leg into an air hole. He was res- cued without ditticulty, and at once went home to get a dry sult. ‘The ies of Electa Chapter of the Eas: ern Star will receive their friends in t large hall at the Masonic Hi from 6 to 10 o'clock New Year night.

The program was an in- formal one, consisting of a duet by Mrs. Horace J. Long and Miss Summy; a solo by Miss Mabel Finch, the pastor, Rev. Arthur Little, presiding at the piano as ac- companist. A spelling match, in which Mrs. Geo. H. Welis and Mr. J. H.

The concert and dance for the benefit of the Catholic Church at Forest Glen, which was to have taken place Thursday ev pros = at Linden Hall, had to be postponed as the concert was concerned, owing to the unfortunate condition of the piano belong- ing to the hall, which, by the way, has since been remedied. The young people who were in attendance, not desiring to have the dancing part postponed, hastily secured some good musicians, hired the hall and had a grand time indulging “the light fantastic toe” tl a late hour. The Presbyterian Sunday school here held its usual and enjoyable Christmas festival the same evening. The exercises were in charge of Mr. L. B. Thomson, superintend- ent. The huge tree, beautifully decorated and lighted with numberless candles, was the main feature of the evening. In ab- fence of the pastor, Mr. James M. Engle, eider of the church, delivered an interesting address. Several of the scholars recited. The recitation of Master Louis Scudder, “Just Before Christmas,” brought down the house with laughter. A quartet rendered by the chcir was excellent. A reading ap- propriate to the occasion by Mrs. Engle was highly appreciated. The exercises opened and close! with singing by all pres- ent, after which Santa Claus, impersonated by Mr. Parker Jones, appeared on the scene. After a few humorous remarks, he resented all the scholars and other chil- dren present with a large bag of candy, nuts and oranges, also a present to each one of the scholars and teachers. Coitee and wafers were served, and all present sreatly enjoyed the evening.

Manchester of Auburn, postmaster of the assembly, returned for his valise and had a narrow escape. In ex-Speaker Malby’s room, which was to the rear of the elevator shaft, where the fire first appeared, there were about twenty peliticians, including Congressmen Weaver and Curtis, Senator Kilburn and Mr. Matby. A rush was made for the irs, and, when the party landed in the 8! , the only in- jured one was found to be Assemblyman Rebbins, whose hair and face were badly burned. ‘The hotel takes in the entire block 110 by 50 feet and this was in fifteen minutes a seething cauldron only bound by the four walis. ‘The Delevan House is fifty years old and is one of the most famous hotels in the coun- try.
