In 1885 about a@ dozen amateur actors assembled at the residence of Mts. Emma Poesche, with the intention of formiig a club, the object of which was tq, promote the German lan- guage in this city, “Those preseat had play- ed in one of Mrs. Poesche’s comedies for the benefit of the German Orphan Asylum. The election of officers resulted In the choice of the following: Mrs. Poesche, President; St. Buinitsky, vice president; W. Feldhaus, treasurer; Mrs, A. Schoeneck- er, secretary, and Miss Rosa Poesche, H- brarian. The names of the original mem- bers were: Th. Friebus, jr., A. Lepper, J. Maedel, Mrs. Bertha Caron, Miss Auguste Donch and Miss H. Scholer. In the beginning the society met at the houses of different members. The mem- bership gradually increased. Soon the want of a stage was felt, and a portable plat- form was put up in a large school room on 12th street, the headquarters of the society. The growth of the “Gesellschaft” advanced in a normal manner from dra- matic reading to acting in costume. The ladies being fn the majority from the be- ginning, the male characters were repre- sented by the ladies. But talented men be- came soon interested and were enrolled as members, From the primitive platform in a school room to the stage, with footlights, at Wil- lard Hall, various changes had to be gone through, ‘occupying a period of some five years. The society first moved to the rooms on 12th near L street, and took the platform along, but when in the following year they occupied the double parlors with carpeted floors in the studio of Miss Ran- som on F street, the platform had to be exiled to Mrs. Poesche’s woodshed. Anoth- er studio was chosen next year in the Sun building, where, indeed, the floor was bare, but the platform was prohibited. Finally a stage was secured with some scenery, and play bills were printed in the genuine style of the old fatherland, and Carroli Institute became a very popular place of amusement among the Germans and their Invited guests. A Wider Field. Among the plays successfully staged by the Gesellschaft were “Medea,” “Hero and Leander,” “Ingomar” and “King Rene’s Daughter.” Light comedy always held its own in favor of the club, and innumerable short, sprightly plays have been produced, proving a never-failing source of amuse- ment. A new era began in Willard Hall in 189). The quiet and earnest work, aiming at artistic improvement, had soon the atten- tion of the English press and spurred the club members to renewed efforts. Large and appreciative audiences attended, and nights were arranged on the occasion of anniversaries of celebrated poets, com- posers and dramatists, such as Grillparzer. Koerner and Wagner, when some of the well-known local musicians participated. Celebrated dramas were performed—‘Sap- “Mary Stuart,” “Jane Eyre,” “Anna and numerous selected comedies, also scenes 4rom: Shakespeare. Frank Claudy and Miss Anita Schade and other members have furnished translations of English plays; while Mrs. Poesche has contributed several original comedies. In 1892, when the club was in a vesy pros- perous condition, Mrs. Poesche’s health failed and she-had to give up her office of president. Frank .Claudy was elected in her place, Mrs. Poesche being made hon- orary president. .For two seasons Mr. Claudy ‘faithfully served the club, until illness in his family obliged him to resign. Last autumn Mrs. Poesche consented tc resume her duties as activé president. Liberal Entertainers. The German Dramatic Society has prac- ticed a very-Mberal hospitality from the beginning, and furnished thousands of guests with entertainment. “Among the ac- tors who have taken part this season are Miss Anita Hendrie, fn emotional work; Miss Anita Schade, Miss B. Lutz, Miss Bessie Stierlin and Mrs. Watkins, who have played léading parts, while the sou- brette parts have been taken by Miss A. Rettis, Miss C. Ulke and Miss H. Herzog; Miss Rosa Poesche and Miss Maud Stahl- Packer have played the heavy parts, and Mrs. A. Schoenecker and Miss A. Bur- chard character parts. In juvenile parts Harry Rothschild, Harry Wilkins, F. W. Myers and C. Droop have appeared. In character parts, J. Colignon, F. Eschrich, F. Struck, C. Hoffman, E. Boelter, E. Tracy and W. Hannemann, and in comedy, W. H. Conley, F. Altrup and H. Schade. The officers of the society are Mrs. Emma Poesche, president; Mr. R. C. de Grain, vice president; G. W. Spier, treasurer; Miss Anita Schade, librarian, and Mrs. Bertha Caron, secretary. —_—_—__. A New York Society Incident. From the Philadelphia Press, This is a fair picture of the give-and-take of New York society in the matter of visits between casual friends. Naturally interest languishes, one ceases to keep account of acquaintances between the times of such meetings, and, with every kind of feeling for them, in theory, one ends, in practice, by being hardly aware they are in exist- ence. A woman I knew, meeting another upon one of these occasions, said: “I feel quite affronted that you have, not been to see me since my return to town.” ‘What! Have you been away?’ ‘Yes, for two years, in Europe.” “Well, I myself have just come back after four years spent abroad.” ve had no idea of it; but come and see me; do.” “L will, with pleasure; but if you have a card with you let me have it. I have act- ually furgotten your name since you were ™married the other day.” “It was my sister Jane, who was mar- ried last June,” said the interlocutor, rath- er red in the face. “Oh, of course! But I thought I saw somethir.g about you in the newspapers. Pray, remember me kindly to that charm- ing husband of yours, who was always such a favorite of mine.” “And you will give my kindest regards to the dear doctor, won't you?” said the sister of Jane, who could not then see her opportunity to admit she had recently got her divorce, while the doctor’s wife felt equally ill prepared to announce that her spouse had been dead four years! coc Hair Raised to Order. From a Paris Letter. A dexterous French feat is that of grow- ing hair along the foreheads of women with whom nature has been cruel in ar- ranging for the hair to grow, growing hair along the foreheads of the hair springs in an ugly, irregular. line. From other parts of the head, short, new, sprouting hairs are delicatety extracted and replanted along the top pf'an uncomely forehead. This system of repotting hair is done ac- cording to the rules nature observes in the management of her hair crops, and after about three months of careful, reg- ular attendance daily at the office of a specialist, a woman comes forth brow’d like a Madorma or the glorious Greek Ven- vses, just as she may have selected. + ce0—_-__ The Value of a Prayer. From the Troy Times. The value of a prayer not often is fixed in dollars and certs, but a Texas farmer is credited with such angpperation. The story is told in the Epworth Era of Rev. H. S. ‘Thrall, one cf the pioneers of Methodism in Texas. In company with a number of itinerants who were on their way to con- ference, Dr. Thrall stopped to spend the night with an old farmer. It was the cus- tom then to settle the bill at night, so that they might rise about -3 o'clock in the morning and ride a good way before break- fast and lie by in the heat of the day. Dr. ‘Thrall, acting as spokesman of the party, said to the old farmer after supper: “We are a company of Methodist preachers go- ing to conference. If you will get the fam- ily together we will have prayers with you.” After prayers one by one settled his bill. Dr. Thrall’s turn came,and he asked for his lil.

I made him an offer, which he accepted, and then I got my peo- ple together. Sousa made a complete new orchestration of the opera, and we made a big hit in New York and all through New England. One night Sir Arthur Sullivan heard the performance, and asked me who made the orchestration. I told him it was done by my musical director, Mr. John Sousa. He said he wanted to meet the young man, and sent his card to John. ‘When he met him Mr. Sullivan compli- mented Sousa on his .work and said it was the bes: orchestration that he had ever, heard excepting his own. It was just after his engagement with me that Mr. Sousa was made leader of the Marine Band, and his career since then you know all about. A man with Sousa’s talent would have found his opportunity some time, but he might have continued to play first violin in an orchestra for months, or perhaps longer, if I had not given him the chance to show what there was in him.’’ The appearance here of Ysaye, the great Belgian violinist, has excited renewed in- terest among all who play upon the king of instruments. Ysaye is so far above all other violinists row before the public that he shows these students, and those who are professionals, too. for that matter, what the great possibilities of violin playing are. Ysaye’s technique is so perfect and every mechanical difficulty is accompHshed with such apparent ease that it is hard for those who have had no experience to be- lieve that this result has been attained only by years of the most careful and in- dustrious practice. There are in Wash- ington a large number who play the violin, and some who are worthy to take high rank among professional players, while the names of Leonora Von Stosch and Maud Powell can be given as violinists who have gone from this city into the pathway of fame. It is not merely technique, how- ever, that makes a truly great player. He must have the intellectual power to grasp the subtle beauties of an author's meaning and the magnetism to impart his concep- tion to his audience. There are a few vio- Unists in this city. who, if they should de- vote themselves entirely to solo work, would receive recognition and praise wherever they should go. Mr. Herman Rakemann is perhaps the best known of these, and his excellent work hes been tested on many an cecasion. He has had the advantage of instruction by the great Ysaye, and at the concert on Tuesday night it was with pleasure that he assisted in the humble but necessary task of turning the music. Mr. Anton Kaspar is a young man who has already shown the possession of de- cided ability. Thus far he has been entire- ly taught and directed by his brother, Prof. Josef Kaspar, but this summer he will go to Europe to be further instructed by the great masters abroad. Mr. Sol. Minster is a young violinist of ability who is too rarely heard upon the concert stage. Miss Heinrichs, who was heard with such pleasure at Professor K: par’s musicale last spring, is now in Eu- rope and making good progress. Among the amateurs the most promising is Lee Crandall, whose development is anticipated with great interest by his friends. The Georgetown Orchestra is making preparations for its second concert, which will take place after Lent, and Conductor Rakemann is determined to present a pro- gram that will surpass any that has been given since he took charge. A Haydn sym- phony will be the piece de resistance, and this will be played, judging from the progress made at rehearsals, In a manner that will both surprise and gratify the friends of that popular organization. The coming of grand opera next week will be welcome to all lovers of music. Those who cannot afford to pay five dol- lars a seat to hear ar Abbey, Schoeffel and Grau company can now have an opportun- ity to hear grand opera in English at a moderate figure. The notable companies that have sung grand opera in English are the Pyne & Harrison, the Seguin, the Cooper, Caroline Rickings, Kelloggs, Parepa Rosa, Ernma Abbott, C. D. Hess, American, Boston Ideals, Minnie Houk, Emma Juch, Hirrichs and Tavary. Of these the most elaborate representations were, of course, given by the American Opera Company, which was organized and carried out on a scale of magnificence that could not pos- sibly last. The one who did most, how- ever, to establish English opera in this country was Carcline Richings, although the work of herself and her associates, Castle, Campbell, Henri Drayton, Henry Peakes, Prookhouse Bowler; Ainsley Cooke, Ted Seguin ard Zelda Seguin, is hardly re- membered by the present generation of theater goers. With Clara Louise Kellogg were Mme. Van Zandt, the daughter of Stgnor Blitz, and the mether of Marie Van Zandt, and Theo Hableman, the tenor; while with Parepa were Tom Karl, the tenor, and Santley, the great baritone. The Tavary Company is the latest organization for En- glish opera, and with Mmé. Tavary is the phenomena! tenor Guille and an excellent company that will present the opera in a creditable manner. All the details are progressing in a very fatorable way for the success of the com- it.g reproduction of the opera of Si-Lootah at the Academy of Music on April 23. It will be presented under the auspices of the Daisy Chain Guild, of which Mrs. Archi- bald Hopkins is the energetic president, and will be for the object of raising funds to further the contegious hospital project. The efforts of these little folks, under the guidance of their president, have met with many rebuffs and reverses on the part of the “District triumvirate” and public gen- erally, but they are not at all discouraged on this account, and are going ahead steadily accumulating funds, and when a favorable opportunity does present itself there will be ample in the treasury to build a hospital that will be a fitting and lasting monument to their efforts. So far as the opera is concerned, everything is moving along at an even rate, and by the time the date of the event arrives all that needs be done for its success will have been completed. The cast, as completed, is as follows: Si Lootah, Mr. James Watson; Laughing Eyes, Miss Alice Judson; Rose, Miss Mary Helen Howe; Harold, Mr. Will Mcency; Edward, Mr. George O'Connor; Bristling Bob, Mr. Felix Mahon: Bear, Mr. J. J. Fisher; Mamie Esputa; - Lump-on-the- -top-of- -his- head, Mr. Jas. A. Mahony; Heap-jag, Mr. c. F. Roberts; Tonic Beer, Mr. A. A. Sousa. The male members of the chorus of The Three Dukes have formed themselves into a. musical organization for the purpose of giving burlesque performances of works to be written by members of the club. The constitution prohibits the production of works written for a mixed company, but it does permit the production of such works in company with ladies who may be invited by the members to take part. And it is now understood that they will in the near fu- ture carry out the original program with regard to the operas of the Messrs. Harris, byt with changes in the personnel of the t and chorus. The charter members of the club are fifteen in number, and the active membership is limited to sixty, and no one will be admitted who is not indorsed by two members in good standing in the club, and who has not the requisite amount of musical ability. At the meeting on Wednesday evening last the fcllowing officers were elected: President, A. B. Morgan; secretary, A. Les- reasurer, W. H. Mussey; hoard of governors, W. A. Morseil, M. Hunter Jones, Arthur Gardner, Louis P. Darrell and R. S. Reswell; musical director, A. Percy Harris; dramatic director, W. H. Harris; sergeant-at-urms, W. J. Fisher. These gentlemen say that they will keep up the standard established by them under the name they still bear—“The Washing- tonians.

A correspcndent, an Englishman living in Germany for business purposes, writes to us as follows: “English law ‘s often said to bristle with anomalies, but my ex- perience over here will show that other countries are, in scme respects at any rate, worse off. In October last my wife had a son, and we desired to give nim ‘ny Chris- tlan name, ‘Francis.’ When I went to the Standes-amt to register this name, regis- tration was refused. I was informed that according to the law of the llth day of Germinal of the year 11, only names which are in the calendar or taken from ancient history are permitted. I made inquiries as to the origin and history of this law, and was told that at the time this act was pass- ed there were in Paris a large number of people who demonstrated their politics by giving their children the name Robéspierre and the like. This was objectionable to the party in power, and hence the law. it still remains in fcrce in some parts of the Ger- man empire, which at that time were French, and excludes in these parts the use of such real German names 2s Hans, Mari- anna end Anraliese (the ancestress of the princely house of Anhalt Dessau). “| appealed to all the superior courts for a more liberal interpretation! of the law, but neither was my plea that ‘Francis’ was merely short for ‘Franciskus,” who does occur in the German calendars, regarded, nor was my claim that Sir Francis Drake and Francis Bacon might be regarded as heroes of ancient history acceptsd. I was fortunate in securing the assistance of the foreign office, and her majesty’s charge d@affaires at Munich endeavored to obtain for me the permission I desired, to call my son by my own name, but it was all with- out avail; the registratiqn was forbidden. The higher courts at Zweibrucken and Munich appear to have regarded the case as a test one,for they gave no costs against me. The decision in the final appeal was delivered on Wednesday last, so that till then it was impossible for me to complete the registration. According to the law this should be completed within two months after the birth; but, in reply to inquiries, I was told by the officials that in cases where appeals were entered this term was pro- longed till the appeal was jiecided. You may judge, therefore, of my surprise when today I found myself sentenced by the police court here te a fine of three marks and costa, or in default one day’s imprison- ment, for not having effected the registra- tion in time. My solicitors are doubtful whether I can get out of this, so that it appears likely that I shall be fined or sent to prison for. wanting to call my baby ‘Francis.’ os JUST TEN HUNDRED. The Namber of Servants Viectoria’s Household. From the Boston Globe. Queen Victoria’s houschold is a large one, consisting of just uncer a thousand per- sons, for the maintenance of whom the na- tion sets apart the sum of $2,500,000 every year. Most of the posts are sinecures or fixtures for life. In the early part of Queen Victoria’s reign a mistress of the robes may possibly have done a few hour’s work in the year, giving orders that the apparel of the sov- ereign should be carefully preserved from moth and dust, renewing the regal ermine, velvet and lace at stated times, and seeing that the crown jewels were always locked up safely after a public airing. She could also affix her name to warrants empowering one worthy tradesman to sell sewing cotton to the royal household and allowing others to put up the royal arms over their doors because their various wares Were bought by personages of illustrious degree. Harriet Sutherland’s signature was al- ‘ways most as good an addition to business advertisements as “To the Queen” embia- zoned in big gilt letters over the shops. Some of the pests are entirely ornamental, and others have very little duty atfached to them. Probably the orly additions to the household since the time of Henry VIII are two steam apparatus men. Although there is no longer a royal barge, nor any pageantry on the Thames, there are still a bargemaster and a water- man with a salary each of $2,000 a year. For the past 200 years there has been no hawking in the forest of Windsor, but the office of grand falconer, held by the Duke of St. Albans, has only been suppressed within the last two years. There are four table deckers whose sole duty is to lay the dinner cloth and see that ra = dishes and cutlery are fairly set forth. There is also a wax fitter, who sees the candles properly disposed, and a first and second lamplighter, who receives the seme salary es that of the poet laureate, which is $500 a year. This may seem shabky payment, but it must be confessed that most of the poets laureate have been overpaid for the stuff supplied. Then there is the “keeper of the swans,” who annually pockets $150 for looking after the sacred birds on the royal waters. Last- ly, there is the “queen's rat-eatcher,” who is especially attached to Buckingham pal- ace. His salary, $75, is provided outside the civil list. Every session the house of com- mons, in committee of supply, considers this vote and gravely agrees to it. ——————— Queen Margherita of Italy is learning to ride the bicycle. Queen Parallel Systems Work to the Disad- vantage of Steam. The railroad committee of the Connecti- cut legislature held a hearing the other day” on the general question of the paralleling of steam roads by electric roads. Ex-Judge John M. Hall, vice president of the Con- solidated rcad, in the course of his address made the following interesting statement: “We have had something more or less than a year of this experience as to the effects of electric competition where it directly parallels our road at different points be- tween stations. We have tested this wind pudding prepared by electricity, and found it more filling than fattening. Let me give you a few statistics as to the effects of electric competition at some points upon our main and leased lines in Connecticut. “I give you the figures from the actual business, as shown by our accounting de- partmen:, for the last three months, of the depreciatioa in receipt of fares, which are traced directly to the competition by elec- tric railroads where they parallel our lines between stations. I will take them in the order shown upon the statement I shall submit to the committee. “Between Norwalk and Rowayton, a loss of 50 per cent of the entire business. Be- tween Bridgeport and Southport, a loss of 80 per cent of all business. Between Bridgeport and Stratford, $35 per day. Be- tween New Haven and Woodmont station, 50 per cent of all business. Between New Haven and West Haven, 70 per cent of all business. Between Wallingford and Meri- den, 30 per cent of all business. “Between New Haven and Lake Salton- stall, 45 per cent of all business. Between Meriden and Yalesville, about 90 per cent of all business. Between Southington and Plantsville, practically all the business. Between Unionville and Hartford, 40 per cent of all business. Hartford and ‘Glaston- per cent of all business. Between Ansonia and Birmingham, 90 cent of all business. Between Ansonia and Derby, $1,500 a year. Between Naugatuck and Waterbury, $300 a month. Between Union City and Waterbury, $170 per month. Between Waterbury and Naugatuck, 90 per cent of all business. Between Winnipauk and South Norwalk, 50 per cent of all busi- ness. Between South Norwalk and Winni- pauk, 90 per cent of all business. Between Norwalk and Rowayton, 50 per cent of all business. Between Danbury and Bethel, 75 per cent of all business. “Here you have the actual effects of a few months only of the cheap electric com- petition upon the passenger earnirgs of this property alone. Now, is it right and fair to continue to extend these lines across desert wastes of country, 4 connect town with town, where the steam roads have, at large expense, constructed and equipped their roads and furnished reasonable service and eccommodations to the public?” SHE YAWNED. The Doctors Had a Time Repairing Her Jawbone. Miss Cora Hull of Steubenville, Ohio, was the victim of a peculiar accident. Awaken- ing from a sound night’s sleep she yawned, and in so doing dislocated her jawbone. Her mouth was’ stretched wide open, and try as hard as she could she could not close it. The young woman suffered excrutiat- ing pain and almost went into spasms. Two physicians were summoned and together they went to work to replace the jawbone in its proper place. To do this they had to pry the bone down at a point behind the ears, and it was fully two hours before the operation could be performed and the bone pushed to its proper place. After working for some time the bone was finally replaced and the young lady was enabied to close her mouth. After the operation had been suceessful, the face began swelling rapidly and lockjaw was feared, but the swelling subsided and the patient is recovering. A serious part of the accident is that Miss Hull will have to be very careful how she laughs or yawns in the future, as the ten- dons now being weak the accident is liable to occur at any time. +o+-—_—___ One Coat for the Three. From the Chicago Record. In this town there are three young mem out of work. The total number of young men out of work is largely in excess of three, but these young men are comrades in poverty and all their hopes are based on an over- coat. The story concerning the overcoat is not to their discredit, and they tell it on them- selves. One of the three knew palmy days not so long ago, and while he had money he bought the coat, which is of rich material, double-breasted and velvet-collared. Such @ coat covers a multitude of old clothes, and the wearer is well dressed even if the hat and shoes have been in service a few months too long. The owner of the coat Is a man of medi- um height, while one of his comrades is short and the other is rather tall. But this kind of a coat will fit any one, and the pees young men take turn about In wear- ing it. At 10 o’clock the owner goes to the public itbrary reading room in the city hall, where he meets No. 2, who puts on the coat and goes out to “make a front” and get a job. In two hours he returns and No. 3 is per- mitted to use the coat for two or three hours in the afternoon. They recognize the importance of an applicant for a position making a favorable impression. Any one of them, minus the coat, is rather shabby. one they have the coat they will live in ope. ——+ee An Unfair Inferen: From Truth. “I don’t see, mum, why your other cook went away so quick! “My husband found fault with th ding he thought I had made, and the Soe overheard him.
