HOME ‘Sons and-Daughters: of the-Ameri- can Revolution’ the Donors. ee PATRIOTIC ADDRESSES Last night the sons and Daughters. of the American Revolution presented two hand- some Aiméri¢an flags’ to the’ newsboys of the city. The @ags are to remain in the cus- tody of the Newsboys’ Home. Budsey and Chimmie were in high feather on the ecca- sion. ‘They had two hours of rare fun, they were the heroes of a graud event @f the National Rifles’ “Hull, and-they’-were su- premgly happy, for they had a feast of good singing, good reciting, good speaking, and, In their minds, best of all, good drum- ming and good kugling. Budsey had no coat and Chimmle was devoid of that im- maculate-complexion that is supposed to be assumed by the newsboy fraternity on all public occasions. But Budsey in his shirt sleeves—was not President, Lingeln's coat- of-arms a “pair of shirt sleeves?’—and Chimmie with his dirty face were just as giad.of their existence as the grave gentle- men who sat on the platform up above them and as the kind-hearted, ladies who sat around them. Indeed, it is fair to as- sume that both Budsey and Chimmie and all the rest of the hundred boys who occu- pied the front o£ one section of the hall were easier in thzir minds than most of these ladies, who were torn in Spirit lest the irrepressible nature of all the Budsey tnibe should break loose and rush beyond control. Once the pandora box of mischief seemed ta have been opened in earnest. There was a part of the program, of the event that called for “whistling ‘by the newsbeys.”. Dr. Childs, acting president of the board of trustees of the Newsboys’ Home, called upon the young merchants to perform their sifflant part of the evening’s entertainment. Budsey _knew- ‘Yankee Doodle” well, this being the air they were to whistle, and his side partner. Chimmie, was a little shaky on the tune, but he had plenty of lung power. So they too the lead, and for about half a minute the whistling was a glorious success, faint but melodious. Then the izrepreeaibie, spirit broke loose. Pandemonium reigned. Chim- mie in his excitement put his two grimy fingers in his mouth and emitted a geries of piercing shrieks. There was not a Voy in all that brave band of a hundred who was not supremely content....Noise meant fun. To whistle was a pleasure not rare, but positive. ‘Thie number lasted a long five minutes. ‘The other parts of the program were ear- ried out with more regularity. A costar composed of Messrs. D. Gt Mil- ler, Ht C. Pearson, Gabriel F. Johnston and C.E.Rice, sang “Hail, Columbia,” and made the eyes of the small boys down in the cor- ner fairly bulge 6uf with glee. Rev. Dr. Sun- derland offered prayer, and the boys had some difficulty agkiiming the proper atti- tude of silent agtention. Chimmie gave Budsey a sly poke in the ribs, and“there was a momentary confusion, during which Chimmie lost the little flag. that had been given to him and the other ninety-nine boys at the home on E street before the whole line-marched to the hall behind the drum corps. On ihe Stage. On the stage were Gen. Joseph, Breckin- ridge, Gen. Vincent, assistant adjutant general; Judge J. K. McCammon, ex-Com- missioner John We Douglass,Rev. Dr: Byron Sunderiand, Messrs. John W. Thompson, Crosby S. Noyes, A. K. Parris, Howard @tark, H. B. F. Macfarland, Wm. B. Gur- dy. John B, Wight, Bernard Green, Rev. r. Mackay Smith, Rev. Dr. Childs, The Officers of the society were also represent- ed on the floor of the hall by Mrs. Childs, the Misses Childs, Mrs. H. B. F, Macfar- land, Mrs. Merchant, Mrs. Atwater and Miss Wilson, the superintendent. After the invocation Dr. Childs made a statement of the work of the association, after explaining that Mr. C. S, Noyes, the President of the board of trustees,’ had found it necessary to retire from that po- sition, which thus caused the duty of offer- ing the announcements to devolve on him. He introduced Judge Joseph K. McCammon as the presiding officer of the evening, and then the quartet and the audience, and especially the newsboys, sang ‘‘America,” the shrill voices from the corner sound- ing out clear and strong. The boys knew the words better than did some of the older folks in the hall. Imbued with the spirit of the occasion they waved their little flags at intervals, until their section of the hall looked like a flower garden in a high wind, st Funds Needed. Dr. Childs gave a brief account of the history of the institution, and then, said that he had been strictly enjoined not to mention money once during his remarks. But he was going to transgress and trust to being. let off by the managers. He sald that the home needs funds for its main- tenance, and he advised those generous people who are thinking of making be- quests to the institution to give the money Pew, so that they can see the good it does. He alluded to the difficulties that have at- tended the legacy of $30,000 left by Mrs. Maulsby for the purchase or erection of a Tew home, and said that the delays, have not been attributable to the executresses of the estate, who have been governed by circumstances that they could not wholly ccntrol. The matter is now settled, and. the money is soon to be in hand. Then the heme will have a large new house, and Dr. Childs went on to tell the bays what a splendid home it will be;-. Meanwhile, he remarked, money must be had to carry on the good work, and he mehtioned inctdent- ally that Mrs. Macfariand, the treasurer, lives at 1816 F street northwest. Some questions that Dr. Childs put to the boys were answered with enthusiasm and promptness. “What are you, British or American?” “American!” came like a shrill thunder. clap from the northwest ccrner. The answers would do credit to more than a majority of applicants for citizenship. Some Speeches. Rev. Dr. Mackay Smith of .St, John’s Church made.-a stirring address that thrill- ed the hearts of both boys and elders. He described the formation, of. the, country with.a few forcible similes, and put en- thusiasm into everybody present by his patriotic little stories about the flag and its early defenders. He propounded a ‘question to the boys:that was:not gs. easily answered as some of those put by Dr. Childs. “How many Stars do you sell for 10 cents?” That being a sliding scale, ac- cording to the time of day and the enter- prise of the lad, the answers came thick and fast with great di “Bwor’ “three!” “four!” “five: Dr. Smith jomed in the general laugh ard gave up the effort to teach a lesson in business mathematics. The Victor Drum Corps, a fine body, of youngsters, with Turkish caps and: unl- forms, rendered,.some music that was neither faint nor uncertain. It went to the very souls. cf the boys, who kept time with ardor, and some even chewed their gum in rhythm. General Breckinridge delivered the pre- sentation address, after Mr. John <wee- dale had given two recitations in splendid style. The flags, to be presented, two in tumber, he said, were of two sizes, one for the new building and one to be carried by the boys whenever they might parade. Everybody knows, he added, that it is just as easy ter a boy to carry two flags as one flag, He spoke of the history of the flag and told of its glories. He enthused every American soul with patriotism, and told the boys that they were to receive a pre- cious gift that they must guard and re- spect. The ceremony of the evening, he explained, was not idle, but was filled with significance. It meant, perhaps, the teaching of a lesson, and it might serve to show that there is material for good citizens everywhere. The Presentation. When Gen. Breckinridge had concluded there was a flourish of the trumpets, a roll of the drums, everybody stood up, four of the larger boys marched down the cen- ter aisle, and one of them, prouder than ever before in all his life, received the ban- leer for the great fraternity of newsboys. ‘The standard bearer was Master Ollie Mor- gan, and with his cross belt and flag rest he locked os grand as a drum major on circus day. ‘The program ended with the singing of | “The Star Spangled Banner” by Mr. John- ston, accompanied by all the boys, and men and women, and then, after a benediction, the audience was dismissed, and Budsey and Chimmie and the 98 others made a wild dash for the outer air. They had be- haved very well,“considering. Their feet were much in evidence; their attention wandered a bit at times, their fingers were mischievous, their ares ‘@vould blink occa- sionally, their mout would yawn once in a while, but they had a glorious evening, and, best of all, they had flags of their own, and as they scampered out of the hall Budsey remarked to Chimmie, in a piercing whisper, made necessary by the trumpet blasts of the Victor boys: ‘Ain't dis prime? Wot's-de matter wid de Sons of de "Lu- tion?” and Chimmie as softly replied, “Nawthin!” A Sketch of the Society. The Newsboys and Children’s Aid So- ctety was organized by a number of be- nevolent ladies of Washington about five years ago for the purpose of providing for homeless and destitute children who might be picked up in the street by police and others and sent to reformatories when too young to be placed in such institutions. The board of children's guardians had not then. been established for the purpose of looking out and caring for such cases and the scciety did an immense amount of ex- cellent work in caring for waifs and sur- rounding them with good influences. Some time after its organization the society pur- chased the premises at No. 927 E street and its home is there at present. Its superintendent is Miss Wilson, a bright, cheerful and interesting young English women, and today she conversed pleasantly with a Star reporter about the home and its work. “We take care of two classes of children,” said Miss Wilson, “those who are sent to us by the board of children’s guardians, for whose board and care $2 per week is paid each, and the free children, whose sup- port is paid for out of the donations re- ceived by the society. There are now six- teen inmates and the number ranges from from this to twenty-four, although we are somewhat crowded when we have that many. Te children go to the public schools, as we find that it is much better to send them where they can be graded according to their merits and reveive the advantages of association with other chil- dren. The newsboys meet here in the evening, and a good many come. There is music and they are entertained with talks on subjects of advantage to them to know. We bosrd and care for those who can pay a portion of their earnings. Some time ago the society was bequeathed $30,000 by a lady—Mrs Maulsby—but none of this amount can be used for the current ex- penses of the home, as the sum was left for the purpose of giving the society a better building. Funds Are Needed Badly. “I lmow every charitable institution is continually complaining of its hard time to get along,” continued Miss Wilson, with a smile, “but I assure you we are sadly press- ed for funds to continue the work during the summer. You see there is a mortgage on this house, the payments upon which have to be met. I believe $400 would as- sure the comfortable support of the home for the summer.” “What are the requirements for admis- sion?” inquired the reporter. “There is no qualification demanded ex- cept necessity and age below sixteen years,” was the reply. “We receive any hameiess or forlorn child. Any citizen who finds a child on the street at night can bring it here and be sure it will be received with pleasure. It is the only home in the city where a child will be received under such cireumstances. I frequently admit boys over sixteen years old who are home- less and in want. They are given a hair cut and are made to bathe, and if they need clothes we frequently provide this want from donations of wearing apparel we frequently receive. We know no color, sex or religion in this practicable work of char- ity, I can assure you. “prequentiy we have secured work for boys who have come to us in need,” con- tinued Miss Wilson, “and farmers from outside of the city occasionally apply to us for boys twelve or fourteen years of age, and provide them with homes. Of course we keep a record of all such children and look after them after their departure, to se2 they are well treated, and the board of children’s guardians has used the home in this way to secure permanent places of work for its wards at various times.” Plans of the New Home. Miss Wilson was very glad to speak about the expectations of the society when it secured the-new home provided for by Mrs. Maulsby’s legacy. “It is not known,” she remarked, “‘wheth- er the money left to the society can be used in purchasing a building or whether it must be expended in erecting one, but in either case the future home of the or- ganization will be much more commodious than its present quarters and capable of accommodating a much larger number of inmates. It is the intention to have a large reading room, where newsboys can profitably and pleasantly spend their time when not selling their papers, and there will be a gymnasium as well. When a gymnasium is considered such a necessary adjunct of a place like the Young Men's Christian Association, where only matured men gather, its benefits to the younger generation in a place like the home must be even greater, I think. In the new home we will also have more sleeping ac- commodations, and we hope to be able to give a newsboy his tea and a bath and his lodging and breakfast for 6 cents. This is done elsewhere, and we are sure we can do it here.” There were sounds of childish voices com- ing down the stairs while the reporter was making his way out, and there was a ring of gladness to them that indicated juvenility unrestrained and happy. “By the way,” said Miss Wilson at the door, “I wish you would say that there is no attempt made here to bias the children in their religious opinions. We teach only the Bible and allow the children, to follow their own inclinations regarding creeds, if they have any, always preferring, howeve that they follow the faith of their parents. The officers of the society are Mrs. T. S. Childs, president; Mrs. H. Thomas, recording secretary; Mrs. E. B. Wight, corresponding secretary; Mrs. MacFarland, treasurer, and Henry C. Parkman, agent. eee ee OPENING THE LOCAL SEASON. ‘Washingtons and Bostons Play at National Park This Afternoon. This is an ideal day for base ball, and the National League championship season opens here this afternoon. Great curiosity prevails among local enthusiasts as to the ability of the newly constructed Washing- ton team to reach a creditable position in the league race, and it is expected that the capacity of National Park will be tested this afternoon when the Washington club will make its initial appearance in this city for the season of 1895. Manager Schmelz, with his players,alight- ed from a train at the 6th street station as the hands of the clock marked 10:42 this morning. Although they had been travel- ing continually since yesterday afternoon the ball tossers appeared to be decidedly coltish. The Boston club reached here cn the same train. The Washington players immediately dispersed and made their way to their respective habitations, while the Beaneaters, taking advantage of the beau- tiful weather, strolled leisurely up Penn- sylvania avenue to a hotel. Each man car- ried a valise, and the coterie was followed by an admiring throng of small boys. "at 1 o'clock both clubs in uniforsa enter- ed carriages, and headed by a brass band, started on a parade through the principal streets of the city. The personnel of the teams and the bat- ting order will be as follows: Washington— Boston— Nicholson, shortstop;|Lowe, second base; Joyce, third base; |Long, shortstop; Abbey, center field; |Duffy, center fiel Selbach, left fleld; Paes 8 left field; Hassamer,right field;) Tucker, first base; McGuire, catcher; Collins, right field; Cartwright,first base;| Nash, third base; Crooks, second base; | Ryan—Ganzel, c.

IN M USICAL CIRCLES “Coronet and Coin,” 2 New Comic Opera, to Be Presented Next Week. It Will Be Given for the Benefit of the Poor Children’s C ntry Home— Other Interesting Events. An interesting and universally attractive ecmie” opera” will have its first pro- duction on any stage on Thursday night kext. This is “Coronet and Coin,” the music of which has been written by Messrs. Hub. T. Smith and D. B. McLeod, both of whom are well known in this city. In the scores they have made many melodious numbers, and some stirring and effective choruses, which will be effectively inter- preted by the people who will be seen at the Academy next week. The librettois bright and has many attractive situations,of which full advantage will be taken. Mr. Hub. Smith will sustain the role of the comedian, and that indicates that all the fun possible will be brought out of the part. Mr. Hern- don Morsell will sing the tenor part, and ris experience with the Boston Ideals some years age will prove of value in this in- stance. Mrs. Kitty Thompson Berry will sing the leading soprano role, and she, too, has \had,, oxperienge, on the professional stage, sq that it may safely be predicted that her work will be well done. The oth- ers of the cast are all competent people, and the chorus is large and efficient. Mr. D. B. McLeod will direct the orchestra, and Mr. Percy will have the stage management. The performances, for there are to be two of them, will be for the benefit of the Poor Children’s County Home, a charity that is extremely worthy, and one that should appeal to every benevolent person. One of the principal features of the Co- lumbia Athletic Club’s big entertainment Monday evening will be the singing of Miss M. Frances Miller of Baltimore, who is said to have a dramatic soprano and power, and whose work has been highly praised by the All of the other musical portions of the program The open- ing number will be by the popular Olmo Mandolin Orchestra, whose playing has already won for it a high place in Jocal musical cireles. Cullen and Collins, ‘pre- mier banjoists, have a prominent place on the program, and their playing nes been favorably compared with the best who have ever appeared here. A new organiza- tion, the Columbia Quartet, of male vcices, the membess of which are Messrs. Watson, Fisher, Looker and Mooney, all of whom are capable soloists, but who ave net yet been heard in unison, is down for a :um- ber. During the evening Mr. J. J. Fisher, whose rich baritone has aften pleased Washington audiences, will render the “Bright Star of Hope,” by V. Rabandi, with violin and ‘cello obligato. The Kim- ball Quartet, organized by Dr. Kimball, composed of Mrs. Kitty Thompson Berry, soprano; Mrs. F. B. Hempstone, contralto: Mr. W. D. McFarland, tenor, and Mr. Ber- nard A. Ryan, bass, will sing the quartet from “Rigoletto.” The comic numbers cf the musical part of the program are in the capable hands of George O'Connor. He has a big stock of new songs, and the re- striction which the club has jut on encores will be hard to enforce during his work. A musical novelty by Mr. Will Haley, whose playing on the Swiss and sleigh bells, glasses and other odd instruments is very clever, will close the program, in which the musical and athletic numbers will alternate. The Apollo Quartet sang in Richmond Thursday night, under the auspices of the Mozart Association, and scored a decided success. It was the first visit of the club to that city, and. both the individual and ensemble work was highly appreciated. All the papers.spoke of the members in terms of praise, the Times saying that the club “is the truest and best balanced quartet that has visited Richmond in many a day, and the Dispatch remarked that “their voices blend together in delightful har- mony, and their phrasing and coloring are artistic and finished.” After the convert the club was entertained by the Old Do- minion Press Club, and their visit made ex- tremely enjoyable. The annual reports of the officers of the Choral Society will be submitted at its meeting next Monday night. The season that has closed is one which should greatly encourage both officers and members, for it ig the first in the history of the society that will end with a cash balance in the treas- ury. Three oratorios were given Paul,” “The Messiah” and Gounod's demption”’—and in all the sdciety did excel- lent work, showing improvement in vol- ume of tone and intelligent phrasing and demonstrating that it is the finest body of singers that has ever been brought together in the District. The annual election of di- rectors will take place Monday week. A new banjo club has just been formed in the city, composed of Messrs. Clarence S. Howell, Charles E. Green, Frank S. Howell and John R. Helden, each of whom pos- sesses especial talent in this direction. The organization will be known as the Wash- ington Banjo Quartet, and the rehearsals will be held at the residence of Mr. Howell, 1717 G street northwest. SS - Of Sound Mind. In the inquiry as to the mental condition of Sarah Laggan, instituted at the request of the District, the marshal’s jury returned a verdict declaring the young woman to be of sound mind.
