An Attempted Suicide. James Carrico, a huckster, living at 1222 Delaware avenue southwest, attempted sul- cide yesterday afternoon by swallowing a number of blue ointment pills. He was found in convulsions by his wife, who hastily summoned Dr. G. B. Greenlaw and later Dr. Price. The Emergency Hospital ambulance was sent for, and while waiting for its arrival Carrico became very violent and refused to go to the hospital. He re- ceived treatment and his sufferings were relieved. Carrico is about twenty-two years of age. He had been out on business during the morning and on his way home partook of several drinks. He refused to say why he desired to die. a Union Lodge, No. 22, K. of P. Union Lodge, No. 22, K. of P., had a very interesting session last Wednesday even- ing. The fair question was enthusiastic- ally discussed, and, judging from the in- terest manifested by the lodge members, the fair will be a grand success. The lodge was honored by a fraternal visit Yrom Grand Chancellor John W. Hardell, who made an appropriate address, full of complimentary remarks to Union Lodge, and wishes for its success. Chief Chan- cellor John C. Yost replied to the grand chancellor in a fitting manner. The Ladies’ Auxiliary to Union Lodge also had a meeting last Wednesday evening to or- g@anize and elect officers. Mrs. Dr. Mc- allister was chosen chairman and Mrs. W. E.-Funk secreary. They will have an- other meeting next Wednesday evening to perfect the organization. ——.— An Opportunity for Art Lovers.

IN M USICAL CIRCLES: church, and were given in a~ charming Sketch of the Origin and Growth of the Capital Glee Olnb.~ A Male Singing Organization That Has Done Excellent Work—Other In- - teresting Musical Items. The Capital Glee Club of Washington, D. C., held its first meeting in November, ’92, and from that time on, although like all musical organizations it has had its ups and downs, it has gradually prospered, until it is, musically, one of* the leading ‘clubs of the city. The club originated from an idea of its present director, N. DuShane Cloward, which ‘idea, was first, in. the form of-a ‘quartet, consisting.of. Oliver C. Hine, Jacob’ Scharf, George Scharf and George Harris. Nie: aie oe One of the most earnest workers in be- half of the club was its first. p ent, Mr. Eugene E. Stevens, whose faithfulness ‘to the Choral Society has been its main- stay for many years. The first concert of thevclub:was given April 26, 1893, assisted by Miss Maud Pow- ell, five months after- organization. This concert, being the debut of the club, is, of course, pleasantly remethbered by “the members. In the second concert, on Feb- ruary 1, 1894, the club was assisted by the Philharmonic Club (string quartet) of New York. Having been so warmly welcomed by the Washington public, the club decided to give a complimentary concert to its many friends, which was done by invita- tion, the club members bearing the ex- pense of over five hundred dollars.. The date of this was May 23, at which time the S. S. Shedd, President Capital Glee Club. club was assisted by Mrs. F. A. Gardner of this city. Mr. James G. Traylor was elect- ed president, vice Mr. Stevens, resigned, just preparatory to the third concert. The board of directors has always been very strict in the matter of limiting its membership, and has always restricted it to a working basis, and the many changes in the club’s personnel has been due main- ly to the fact that the board was compelled to have such strict rules as to attendance at rehearsals. It has always been the ambition of the club to reach a membership of forty select veices, and within a week this point will have een reached. At the first concert there were 20 singing members. At the second concert there were 31 members, and by the time of the last performance the singing force num- bered 34. The present president, S. S. Shedd, was elected two weeks ago, and is probably more prominently known in business cir- cles than he {is musically, although a great lever of the work. Mr. Cloward has asked the club to allow him ar assistant musical director, and recommended Mr. Edward O. Asmussen for the place. At the meeting at which Mr. Shedd was elected president, Mr. Willis B. Magruder was chosen vice president, and Messrs. Oliver C. Hine and Harry Craft were elect- ed to the board of directors. Proud of the success of the Rubirstein Club, the ladies’ glee club, the members of the male society decided to invite the manner, while the work itself shows the evidences of careful study and hard work. Some of those who were present at the af’ fair were William D. MacFarland, tenor of St. Patrick’s; Rev. Father George Glaab of St. Mary’s, Elphonzo Youngs, jr., basso. at the First Congregational Church; John F. Ennis and others. It has been decided to again present the romantic Indian opera of “Si Lootah.” The authors have placed the undertakin; in the hands of a competent committee oj three, who will have entire charge of the reproduction. There is much that is'worthy of consideration in this. opera, and when presented in the proper way, as to scenic effects, costumes, etc., as it will be this time, there is no doubt of its being well re- celved. Mr. Harry Wheaton Howard will wield the baton and direct the preliminary work, so far as the music is concerned, and it is needless to say that this work could not be in better or more competent hands. Mr. Jas. Mahoney will have full charge of the stage, and will instruct both cast and chorus in everything that per- tains to a proper rendition of the libretto. Mr. Ed. F. Guzman will keep his eye on ‘the managerial and business end of the affair. Every pcssible care will be given to the ccstuming and mounting of the opera. Costumes and scenery will be made es- specially for this event. The cast has not een entirely ccmpleted, although all of the principals have been engaged. The chorus, which, by the way, will surpass-its Predecessor in every way, is hard at work. At the coming Seidl concert it is under- stood that Wagner will be represented by the Good Friday spell from ‘‘Parsifal,” the Funeral March from “Gotterdammerung” and the Vorspiel and Isolde’s death from “Tristan and Isolde.” Dvorak’s overture jature” will be heard for the first time in this city, and Mozart’s Symphony in G minor and Seid!'s orchestration of Bach’s “Divertimento” in four movements will also be given. This is a program that will appeal strongly to the lovers of good mu- sic, and it is believed that Mr. Seidl will receive a warmer welcome than he has ladies to take part with them at their pro- pesed concert next month, and a commit- tee, consisting of S. S. Shedd, Willis B. Mugruder, Edward Asmussen and Oliver C. Hine, was selected to meet with a simi- lar committee from the Rubinstein Club, the joint committee to take charge of the concert. At a meeting of the Rubinstein Club, held Wednesday afternoon, the ladies selected Mrs. C. B. Rheem, Mrs, C. E. Clifton, Miss Grace Lewis end Miss Blanche Yewell to represent them. The joint committee was called together Friday afternoon and perfected plans for the combined concert. Although the two clubs will probably sing one or two selections for mixed voices, it is intended that the two ‘societies shall otherwise retain their individuality, which must result in friendly rivalry. The Cap- ital Glee Club has had no competitors for honcrs in their line until the organiza- tion sof the Rubinstein Club, and many members of the former society, who heard the ladies’ debut at the Cairo recently, realize that it will take hard work for the male crganization to keep out of sec- ond place. The male voices have the ad- vantage in rollicking songs and fortissimo work, but the natural ability of the la- dies to phrase to a nicety will be the strongest point in favor of the new organi- zation. Both clubs were originally organized by Mr. N, DuShane Cloward, who is director of both clubs. This will probably be Mr. Cloward’s last public appearance in Washington until next fall, as he will go to Atlanta, Ga., about the middle of May to attempt the organi- zation of a monster chorus of eleven thou- sand voices in conjunction with the cotton states and international exposition to be held there next September. The membership of the Capital Glee Club up to its last meeting is as follows: First tenors, Melville D. Hensey, J. R. Gallo- way, B. W. Beebe, Dr. H. N. McNamee, W. T. Reed, B. F. Blye, Dr. Philip Weis- ner, A. M. Forrester; second tenors, S. S. Shedd, Willis B. Magruder, M. Leroy Gough, S. Hazen Bond, W. H. Grimes, Robert C. Kelton, B. B. Cushman, Page Zimmerman, E. D. Flather; first bass, Edward Asmus- sen, A. B. Dent, H. M. Bilis, George Ter- ry, FP. S. Doyle, W. S. Hutchinson, R. B. Hayes, Harry Craft, E. M. Carter; second bass, J. Taylor Cronie, Dr. N. W. Pomeroy, Oliver C. Hine, B. Frank Myers, W. A. Frankland, Dr. Wm.Wooster, L. H. Meyers, J. D. Van Scoten, J. H. Johnson, N. D. Cloward, director, and Archibald Olmstead, pianist. ‘After Easter there will be quite a num: ber of amateur operatic performances, and two operas are now in active rehearsal. “Coronet and Coin” is the title of a work the music of which has been composed by Messrs. Hub T. Smith and D. B. McLeod. Mr. Smith is known as the author of a large number of popular songs, some of which have acquired a wide notoriety, aud have been sung by comedians in opera, farce comedy and minstrel performances. The chief of these are “Listen to My Tale f Swing’ nd ot . ‘The operetta “Paradise Flats” is also from his pen, and, in fact, he has been a very prolific writer. Mr. McLeod is also a local composer of note, and is the author of a number of secular and religious works, as well as some instrumental pieces, the best. known of the latter probably being the “Knights of Pythias March,” which. was played by the Marine Band during the last encampment of that order here. In the opera, which is now being rehearsed, Mr. Smith ard Mr. McLeod have united their talents, and the result, according to those who have heard the music, is a combina~ tion of melody and harmony that cannot fail to please the public. ‘Mrs. Kitty’ Thompscn-Berry will sing the leading soprano role, and with her known’ ability she may be trusted to give an excellent performance. Mr. Herndon Morsell, who had several years of experience with the Boston Ideals, will have the tenor role intrusted to his competent care, and the comedian’s part will be taken by Hub Smith bimself. The other parts will be in competent hands, and the chorus will be large and efficient. The performance will ‘be given for the benefit of the Children’s Country Home, an institution that appeals strongly to the benevolent, and this will undoubtedly in- duce a large sale of tickets. Mr. W. L. Nassau and his wife, Mrs. Marie Nassau, gave a private musicale in this city last Thursday. Mr. Nassan is the organist, and Mrs. Nassau the leading so- prano of St. James’ R. C. Church of Phila- delphia, and are at present makirig a visit to this city. The entertainment consisted of the rendition of Mrs. Nassau’s latest. composition, Vespers in C, which will be performed for the first time at St. James’ in Philadelphia on Easter Sunday morning. ‘The vespers are dedicated to Rev. Father P. J. Garvey, who is in ‘charge of the ever had in this city. The attempt of Mr. Holmes to form a mammoth orchestra of those who play the banjo, manéolin and guitar has developed the large number of performers in those instruments, and yet those who have re- sponded to Mr. Holmes’ call do not repre- sent all who are devoted to that class of music. It is believed that there are more first-class amateur banjoists in Washing- ten than in any city of its size in the country. There are players who are equal and even superior to some professionals who are never heard by the public, but only in their own homes and by their friends. There are other banjoists who are frequently heard at concerts, and whose skill has a wide recognition. There are a few whs are now becoming profes- sionals, and among these the most notable are Joe Cullen and W. G. Collins. Both are excellent individual players, but since they have combined and devoted them- selves to team work they have acquired a dexterity and skill that is equal to.anyw two men on the professional~ stage. Be> sides being excellent performers, both ave accomplished musicians and can make their own arrangements of whatever compos tion seems to strike their fancy ag)de~ sirable for their work. Sant They have already arranged: Schubert's “Serenade” and “March,” Mozsowski’s “Spanish Dance” and other compositions of a higher order than is usually heard on a banjo. Since they have joined forces Messrs. Cullen and Collins have had many offers to travel, but have declined them all; as they find their time well occupied. Their work is not surpassed, so far as their repertoire is concerned, by any banjo team now before the public, not excepting the famous Brooks and Denton, although the latter have the advantage of longer association and more extended experience. Mr. Charles McEnany is the pianist with Cullen and Collins, and his skillful accom- paniments furnish an excellent support for their work. — TRAVERS FOUND GUILTY. The Jury Belicved That He Murdered Lena Gross. Afier deliberating just forty minutes, the Jury in the case of James L. Travers, charged with the murder of Lena Gross, near Brightwood, the 19th of last Novem- ber, returned a verdict late yesterday af- ternoon of guilty as indicted. Mr. Alex- ander Wolf, on behalf of the convicted man, gave notice of a motion for a new trial, and Travers, who had heard his doom without betraying the slightest emotion, was remanded to jail to await the death sentence. In charging the jury, Judge Cole instruct- ed them that they might return ‘one of three verdicts, murder, manslaughter or one of not guilty. Defining the meaning of the terms murder and manslaughter, .the court stated that if Travers knocked the woman down to protect himself from her assault, but subsequently returned to where she lay and then cut her throat to put her out of pain, he was guilty of murder. If the man killed her without malice he was. guilty of manslaughter, but malice heéd not be hatred, said Judge Cole, but might be presumed from the commission of a cruel act resulting in death. Referring to the claim of the defense that Travers was irresponsible because of his weak intellect, Judge Cole informed the jury that mere mental dullness, weakness or eccentricity of mind was not to be considered as ex- cusing the defendant, unless, remarked the court, it showed that he was rendered incapable of realizing that when he killed the woman he was doing wrong. The charge of Judge Cole was listened to with much interest, particularly his reference to the defense of insanity, as that, it is said, will be the defense urged in the case of Joseph A. Beam, who killed his stepdaughter, Annie L. Leahy, last De- cember, and in the case of Thomas J. Tay- lor, who killed his wife, Nannie C. Tay- lor, last September. The former will be placed on trial before Judge Cole next Monday, and Taylor will be tried before the same judge the following week.. ——— Mr. Clark’s Funeral Services. ‘The funeral services over the remains of the late Mr. George L. Clark were held yesterday afternoon at the Metropolitit! M. E. Church, corner of C and 4% streets, in the presence of a large assemblage, in- cluding most of the members of the eon fen gregation, with which the deceased was 80, prominently identified, and numbers of his intimate friends. The exercises were par- ticipated in by Rev. George H. Corey, Rev. Hugh Johnston, Rev. O. A. Brown and Rev. J. H. McCarty. Mr. Johnston and Mr. Corey spoke feelingly of the nobility and piety of the dead man, and eulogized_his many attractive traits in high terms. Dur- ing the services the choir sang the hymns that were Mr. Clark’s favorites in lfe— “Welcome Home” and “The Sweet By and By.” The pallbearers were S. 8. Henkle, G. H. La Fetra, Thos. H.

With appropriate exercises a portrait, ar- tistically executed and handsomely framed, of the late Senator James W. Patterson of New Hampshire, which ts to-be hung in the recentlycompleted Patterson ::public school building, was formally presented yesterday afternoon to ex-Senator Blanche K. Bruce of- the-board:of school. trustees, . by Mr. W. B. Patterson, a supervising prin- cipal of the public school of the District, and a nephew of Senator Pattersom In the audience, which was made up of*a large number of well-known dolored people, was @ brother of the dead statesman. ~ Senator Patterson did much for the pub- lic schools of the District, and in his honor. the new building,at Vermont avenue and U street was named for him: The widow, learning of this action, had a Concord. ar- | tist make the portrait referred to, and yes- terday was the time arranged for the pre- sentation. The exercises were held in the »building, and when they were opened with a patriotic selection bya cherus of eighth- grade pupils, there wereseated on the plat- form ex-Senator B: K.sBruce, Gen. John Eaton, ex-commissioner of education; J. Or- mond Wilson, Rev. F.- Giimke; John R- Lynch, Prof. W. S. Mentgamery and Mr. W. B. Patterson. the absence of Superintendent Cook of the colored schools, who was unable to’ attend by reason of illness. The portrait rested on an easel at one side off the platform, and was hidden from view ty a large ~American Speech by Gen. Eaton. After prayer by Rev. Mr. Grimke, Gen. Eaton was introduced and made the open- ing address. He said Senator Patterson and himself had been Iife-lohg friends, and then-told of how, for ten years, the District depended on Mr. Patterson for measures in Congress relating to education. Gen. Eaton gave an extended biographical sketch of the distinguished Senator, and declared him to bea perfect man physically and intel- lectually, one possessing gre-* power to move the masses. His was a life that found no time for idleness, and it was a life full of usefulness. “The city of Wash- ington,” concluded Gen. Eaton, “is greatly indebted to Senator Patterson for what it has now in the way of public schools. He will forever be considered as one of the foremost of educators.” Gen. Eaton was loudly applauded. Mr. J. Ormond Wilson was introduced as cne who had been intimately associate with Senator Patterson. In the course 0: his remarks, Mr. Wilson stated that the public school system in Washington began in 1805, with President Thomas Jefferson at the head of the school board. In 1862, Mr. Wilson said, colored schools were first es- tablished, with a school fund of but $346.50 for the year. Mr. Wilson eloquently de- Scribed what Senator Patterson did, par- ticularly for the colored schools, and closed by characterizing him as a man whose heart and intellect comprehended all hu- manity. = John R. Lynch spoke in the same strain as did his predecessors and Prof. Mont- gomery, after unveiling the portrait, re- exhibition hall of the celoreé High School'|- Mr. »Bruce presided in‘ lated its history and read extracts from letters from Mrs. Patterson. * Presented by n Nephew. Having stated that his uncle was a prac- tical worker as well as a thorough scholar and detailed his steps from the school room to the Senate chamber, Mr. W. B. Patterson turned over the portrait to Mr. Bruce, the trustee representing on the school board the district in which the Paterson school is Iccated. Mr. Bruce took occasion to remark that SenatorPatterson’s name was identified with a very important measure acted on when he was in Congress, and formally re- ceived and expressed thanks for the por- trait in behalf of the colored citizens of the District. The exercises were brought to a close with a ben@diction pronounced by Rev. Mr. Grimke. Between the addresses enjoyable musical selections were rendered by a chorus of eighth-grade pupils, by Miss El- len Adams of the High School, and by a quartet, composed of Messrs. Walton, Wormley, Hurley and Washington, also of the High School. Prof. J. T. Layton direct- ed the music, and Miss Ross and T, L. Furby served as accompanists. : — Doors, All White Pine, 90c.

The Herdic: Company Announces a Re- duction in Passenger Rates. The Herdic Phaeton Company, whose vehicles traverse sections of the city.east of 22d street yiorthwest and north of Penn- sylvania avenue, has announced a reduc- tion.of fare-to three cents for each passen- ger, to take effect next Thursday, March 20th. Owing to the fact that the tickets issued by one local transportation company in the District are good for a ride when Presented on-any other line, the herdic company will continue to sell its tickets at six for a quarter, but the cash fares will be |. reduced, as stated, to three cents. The routes, covered by the Herdics are now paralleled almost. entirely by cable roads, and the putting in operation of the olumbia cable makes another important competitor for the heavy trade heretofore enjoyed by the herdics running to the. gov- ernment. printing office.and beyond.

Me AND Meerrz, 906 F Street N. W. ILLSBURY’S BES it CRUSTED SCAUY SKIN TORMENTS MINISTER'S (FAMILY. ALMOST DROVE WIFE MAD. DOCTORS USELESS. INSTANT RELIEF AND SPEEDY CURE BY CUTICURA. Three years ago my wife; four little children and myself were afllicted withxa crusty, scaly disease of the skin. It tormented us all. Such a plague I hope will never againivisit my family. My children’s ages were réspectively nine, seven and four years, except the: youngest, who was only two months old. Of all our suffering, my wife suffered the most. It almost drove her mad. ‘The disease first made its appearance on my Wife's back between the shoulders, and: spread across to her breast. It looked like it was govered over with little scales. I first bought of a drug store, medi- cine for skin disease, which) failad to do any good whatever. I next employedia doctor, who gave relief for a short while. After trying him for quite a while without effecting a cure, I called in another doctor, who proved to do no better than the first. After this I bought CUTICURA REME- DIES of Messrs. Purcell, Ladd & Co., Richmond, Va., having read of them in a newspaper. Relief followed the first application, and five or six sets cured all of us.
