There were six charges of petit larceny against each of the defend- ants and Lawyer Shillington, their counsel, entered pleas of not guilty. Detectives Carter and Gallaher and Mr. Dyrenforth were in court as witnesses and had nearly @ cart load of goods as evidence. Judge Miller heard the testimony of several wit- nesses and continued the case until Wed- nesday. Bonds were fixed at $2,000, and the prisoners were committed in default of se- curity. ne Marringe Licenses.

Program That Will Please Its Friends and the Public—Beginning of Pupils’ Exhibitions. The Georgetown Orchestra will give its last concert some time about the middle of May at Metzerott Hall. The members are now actively rehearsing under the di!- rection of Mr. Herman Rakemann, a pro- gram that cannot fail to commend itself to the friends of the organization and the general public. The orchestra will play the coronation march from Kretchmer's opera, Die Folkimger, Haydn’s Second Symphony, in D major, the full five move- ments; Wagner's “Albumblatt, the prayer and scene from Weber's “Der Frieschutz,” Ganne’s “Czarina,” a Russian Mazurka and Nicolai’s overture, “Merry Wives of Windsor.” The soloists will be Miss Anita Cluss and Miss Mary Helen Howe. Miss Cluss is a harpist of recognized ability, and has an established popularity among the musical public. Miss Howe is a young soprano, who, during her first season before the public, has won appreciation for the purity of her voice and the brilliancy cf her execution. She will sing a cavatina from “Faust,” with orchestral accompani- ment. Mr. Rakemann, the director of the orchestra, believes in progress, and intends that each program shall be better than those that have gone before. The Haydn symphony will show what his force can do in the interpretation of the classical school, while the other numbers will appeal to the general musical taste. The season of the year for pupils’ exhi- bitions has now arrived, and soon all the music teachers, both vocal and instrumen- tal, will be presenting those whom they have been teaching to their friends and the public, to show what progress they have made. The first in the field to announce a students’ concert is Mrs. H. H. Milis, who finds it necessary to furnish a program for two nights at Metzerott Hall, May 8 and 10. The programs will be different each night, with one exception, and that Is the quintet from “Carmen,” which will con- clude each evening's work. On the first evening there will be a chorus for ladies’ voices, Sodermann’s ‘‘Wedding March;” a quintet from ‘Rob Roy,” sung by Miss Kappeler, Jeffrey and Muir and Me: 5 Mills and Kappeler, and a piano solo, Men- delssohn’s “Cappricio Brilliante,” by Mrs. Gilbert. ‘The other solos will be forest song from “Robin Hood,” by Miss Mitchell; two songs by Grieg, Miss McKee; Hindoo love song, Miss Milliken; d’Aqua’s ‘‘Villamelle,”” Miss Whitcomb; a group of songs, by Miss Doe; Elsa’s Dream, from “Lohengrin,” Mrs. Barnes; two sdén Miss Halley; Chami- “Summer,” Miss McCulloch; two songs, Mr. Luebkert; “He Was Despised,”’ from the Messiah, Miss Stidham, and “O Don Fatale,” from Don Carlos, Mrs. Hills. For the second evening the concert- ed numbers include the spinning song from the “Flying Dutchman," two songs by the Philharmonic Quartet, Mendelssohn's ‘On Wings of Song,” arranged by Miss Lotta Mills, and MacFarren’s “Good Night,” and the Carmen quintet song by Misses Turner, Doe and Judson, Messrs. Skerr+tt and Lueb- The solos are Lynes’ “He Was a by Miss Armstrong; two songs by Miss Corby; Becker’s “In May Time,” Miss ; Vulean’s song from “Philemon and Mr. Roberts; Hindoo love song, Miss Whitaker; Indian bell song from “Lakme,” Mrs. Flint; Benberg’s “Nymphs and Fairies, Miss Reichenbac! blind girl's song from “La Giaconda,” Miss Simonds; Schumann's ‘“Betrothed, Skerrett; cavatina from Judson; Caro Nome from “Rigoletto,” Miss At Lee, and two numbers by Schutt for piano, by Miss Fassett. All the accompani- ments will be played by Miss Mills. f During the recent Lenten period there was no sacred musical event that involved greater care and judgment in the selec- tion of soloists and the rehearsal of orches- tra and chorus than Mercadante’s “Seven Last Words,”, that were sung at St. Mat- thew’s Church on Good Friday night. Mr. L. E. Gannon, the director of the choir of that church, has since reeived many werds of praise for the excellent manner in which that noble composition was inter- preted. The solos were ‘well sung, while the choruses were given with a fullness of tone and spirited effect that showed the most careful and intelligent rehearsal. The feature of the solo work was the im- pressive singing of the sixth word by Prof. Mariano Maina, whose full, rich baritone voice and splendid method were never heard to better advantage. There was a dignity and vigor in his interpretation that compelled attention and added to the nat- ural devotional sentiment that the occasion and service engendered. The string or- chestra was an efficient aid to the organ in the accompaniment, and the solos by Mr. Rakemann were artistically given. The Imperial Banjo and Mandolin Club is an organization that, though young, has already attained quite a good reputation on account of its excellent work. Its mem- bers are Frank M. Jones,C. Percy Rearden, Clarence M. Jones, Chas. W. Becker and Paul G. Hough, and Prof. Geo. J. Becker is their director. The club contemplates a concert on its own account some time next month, when it will be assisted by Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry, Miss Pauline Whit- aker, Miss May Whitaker,Miss Anita Cluss, Miss Ellen Vockey, Messrs. Elphonzo Youngs, jr., E. J. Walsh, J. J. Fisher, G. Garvin Gilmaine and others. Washington Singers Praised. The Philharmonic Quartet of this city sang in Cumberland, Md., last Thursday and made a decided hit. The Evening Times of that city says of their work: “The musical treat of the evening, how- ever, came with the entrance of the fair visitors from Washington. The quartet is- pleasing in stage presence, the voices blend well and show entire appreciation of the theme. Their encore, Beethoven’s ‘A B C,’ was very catchy, and the graceful tribute to the Elks, improvised in the last bars, brought forth rousing applause. The so- loists were both charming and of such ertirely different types as to be in no wise rivals. Miss McColloch’s soprano is a voice full of sweetness, of good compass and volume, her manner is charming and her rendition entirely pleasing. Her response to an enthusiastic encore was Tosti’s ‘Good Bye,’ an old but ever acceptable favorite, which she sang delightfully. The rich con- tralto of Miss Stidham gave unqualified pleasure. Her method is fau!tless and her presence, commanding and graceful, adds to the effect of her singing. As an encore she sang, with exquisite pathos, ‘Gene- vieve,’ a ballad so sweet that it will never grow old. The Elks are to be thanked for securing such a rich treat as the quartet gave the music lovers of this vicinity.” A SPLENDID TRIBUTE. An Alaskan Mountain Named After Lieut. Emmerich of the Navy. Few Americans have such a splendid memorial as that which has been chosen by the officers of the coast survey to im- mortalize the excellent qualities of the late Lieut. Charles F. Emmerich of the United States navy, who died in California last year. Lieut. Emmerich was executive offi- cer of the steamer Hassler, which took a surveying party to Alaska during the sea- son of 1893, and endeared himself to every member of the ship’s company. When the news 0? his death reached the city last year the officials of the survey determined to honor his memory by naming for him one of the peaks that had been discovered dur- irg the trip that he helped to make so pleas- ant. To note this fact the following letter was sent by Mr J. F. Pratt, who was chief of the party, to Mrs. Catherine C. Emmer- ich of this city, Lieut. Emmerich’s mother: “I inclose a photograph of ‘Emmerich mountain,’ one of the most conspicuous peaks on the west side of the head of Chil- kat inlet, Alaska. This mountain is 6,940 feet high, and was so named by the mem- bers of the coast survey party engaged in that locality on the international boundary between Alaska and British America dur- ing the past season in honor of your son, in thankful remembrance of the good-fel- lowship and many attentions shown them while he was the executive officer of the coast survey steamer Hassler.” ———— 31.25 To Baltimore and Return. $1.25 The Pennsylvania railroad will sell Sat- urday, May 4, and Sunday, the 5th, good returning until Monday, the 6th, excursion tickets to Baltimore at rate of $1.25.—Advt. AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House.—The old comedy sup- ply seems to be an inexhaustible mine of good things. The favorites of former days come before the present public with all the freshness of novelty, and in the majority of cases quite as satisfactory as the output of contemporary authorship. The interest dis- played in the initial performance of the Shaw & Bradford Comedy Company, at the Grand Opera House last night, despite the torrents outside, was a distinct compliment to Mr. Bond’s ability as an actor, and the reliability of the management. Mr. Bond is, of course, the principal figure in the cast for “Sir Simon Simple.’ His work in this part was of a kind which fully sustained his prestige as a local favorite. Washing- ton is notable for the discrimination shown by its audiences. It never hesitates to ren- der a verdict on its own judgment, inde- pendent of considerations of long runs and brass-band enthusiasm elsewhere. Its hearty and unreserved acceptance of Mr. Bond is the more of a compliment to him wken it is considered that, as a rule, this city’s opinion is ultimately, if not immedi- ately, indorsed by the highest critical intel- ligence of the country. And the popular sentiment is pretty sure to follow the critical intellect, if it is only given sufficient time. Mr. Bond’s friends have therefore every reason to expect a widening of the circle of his admirers until he is as much a favorite throughout the country as he is here. He has already established the foun- dation for a career by doing well whatever he has had to pla and his success in “Thermidor” has intimated to the public at large what is well known in this city— that he fs an actor of force, finish and the most refined appreciation. The interest in “Sir Simon Simple” was less than the in- terest in the principal player. It is a pleas ant comedy, with plenty of sparkle in the dialogue, and a wholesome sentiment in the story. It presented the various members of the organization in a very agreeable fash- fon. The esteem in which Mr. Bond was held by no means prevented a sincere and emphatic recognition of the efforts of that sterling comedian, John Findlay. There is no mistaking the fact that Washington ciaims him as another of her “local favo ites.” Mrs. Findlay was cordially received, and, indeed, all the members of the com- FPany were showered with assurances that their better acquaintance is looked forward to with pleasure by theater goers here. ional—Although the bills American tour and final Washin gagement of Mr. and Mrs. Kendal,” it is hoped much more sincerely than most of such announcements are sincere that this one is susceptible of amendment, anu that Mr. and Mrs. Kendal are not in Ington for the iast time, professionally. Their engagements here have always been a pleasure and a profit to theater goers, and there Is some indefinable something about their work that, while not le: tistie in effect, pervades it with a re: naturalness, which makes an audience seem to be witnessing the actual people and circumstances of the playwright’s mind. Last night the play was B. C. Stephenson's five-act serio-comedy, “‘Im- pulse,” ard it is one which Mr. and Mrs. Kendal should appear in much oftener than they do. In fact, if they would sub- stitute !t for two or three of their heavy plays they would be doing a good thing for themselves and their audiences. The play is decidedly plain spoken in places and deals directly with its subject matter, after the bluntness of the Eng- lish, but its lesson is good an@ its side- lights and by-plays quite make up for the seriousness of its central motive. .As Capt. Crichton, Mr. Kendal is the bluff and hearty good angel of the piece, who thwarts the villain, makes a husband and wife happy again, gets a wife himself and in all other respects meets with the audi- ence’s complete approval. Mrs. Kendal as Mrs. Beresford, a charmingly naive and natural widow, plays second to perfection, and captures Capt. Crichton, while she is capturing the audience. The next most im- portent character ts the villain Victor De lel, by Mr. Cooper Chippe. Another cellent piece of character was vell’s Miss Kilmore. Miss Marion Lea as the sorrowful wife, had a difficult. part, which she made sufficiently impressive, and Mr. Bucklew’s Colonel MacDonald, the for- giv Be husband, was done with proper spir- ‘© part was poorly done and the con- cia effect was pre-eminently satisfac- tory. Tonight “The Iron Master” will be given. The Kneisel Quartet Concert.—The Kneisel Quartet of Boston were en an_enthusi- astic welcome at the Builders’ Exchange Hall last evening. The quartet is com- posed of Franz Kneisel, first violin; Otto Roth, second violin, Louis Svecenski, viola, and Alwin Schroeder, cello. Mrs. William B. King was the accompanist, and it is largely due to her efforts that the music levers of Washington were given a chance te hear this fine quartet. The program con- sisted of four numbers, the best impression being made in the andante of Tschaikowski and the scherzo of Sgambetti. They were played with the utmost feeling and expres- sion, and the concerted efforts were beauti- ful and excellently rendered. Mr. Schroe- der played the “Waldesruhe” of Dvorak in a truely artistic manner, while in the Tarantelle, by Cossman, he displayed his remarkable execution to great advantage. St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church Fair.—A fair will be held by St. Stephen’s Church, Columbia Heights, during the afternoons and evenings of Wednesday and Thursday, May 1 and 2. The fair room will be in the parish hall, tn the old church building, and supper will be served after 5 o’clock Wed- nesday, while Thursday evening will be given up to a musical entertainment and a strawberry festival. The ladies of the par- ish, under whose auspices the fair is to be given, have been quite industrious, and it is expected that the display will he quite extensive, embracing articles of utility and beauty that will command ready sale. The supper will certainly be all that can be de- sired. The Opera of ‘“'Telemach.'’—Prof. Emil Mori's comic opera, “‘Telemach,” which was announced to be presented for the first time at Metzerott Hall tomorrow night, has been postponed until next Tuesday, May 7._ This is owing to the illness of Miss Marie Brandis, who has a severe attack of throat trouble and would not be able to sing tomorrow night. Mr. Kaspar’s Musicale—Mr. Anton Kas- par, the well-krown violinist of this city, will give his farewell recital at the Uni- versalist Church, corner of 13th and L streets,Saturday evening,May 4, at § o'clock. This iz the last appearance of Mr. Kaspar before he leaves for Europe, where he will study the violin for a number of years. He will be assisted at, his recital by Mme. Kas- par, Miss Leat Stakely, Miss Mary Lock- hart and the Wilhelmj Club, under the di- rection of Mr. Josef. Kaspar. Seats are now on sale at Metzerott’s music store. Miss Schmidt's Lectures.—The second lec- ture of the series of three lectures on “A Tour Through Italy” by Miss Anna Seaton Schmidt will be delivered at the Concordia Lutheran Church, corner of 20th and G@ streets northwest, tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. The third lecture will be given Sun- day, May 5, at the same place. Miss Schmidt is a most entertaining talker, and the lectures are illustrated with a fine sé- ries of pictures. Butler's Bijou Theater.—The story of Un- cle Tom’s Cabin has-become a part of his- tory, and its dramatization is known all over this country. Each year the play has been imprcved upon until now it appears to have reached its zenith. A $20,000 pro- duction of this play 1s at Butler's Bijou this week, and last night an audience which filled every nook and corner of the theater greeted the familiar figures in this realistic drama, Each detail has been care- fully studied and the scenic effects are well up to the standard. A company of un- usual merit interprets the play. Again to- night. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Peter Maher, the Irish champion pugilist, who has as- pirations for the championship of the world, opened at Kernan’s last night at the head of a first-class specialty com- pany. Miss May Rhea opened the enter- tainment with several songs; the Keegans contributed a bit of refined comedy; Lew Mettler gave some clever imitations of birds and animals; Price and Mack did a black face specialty; Conley and Madden were clever Irish comedians, and Campbell and Beard did a novel musical turn. The Mayos received a hearty welcome and sang sweetly. The athletic part of the enter- tainment was composed of several boxing bouts between locals, with Peter Maher Cor -and Billy Hennessy as the features. Again tonight. Ex-Gov. “Bob” Taylor._The people_ in Washington who have heard ex-Gov. “Bob” Taylor deliver his lectures on “The Fiddle and the Bow” and “The Paradise of Fools” will be delighted to learn that he will deliver his entirely new and latest lecture, entitled “Visions and Dreams,” at Metzerott's Music Hall, Thursday evening, May 9. Gov. Taylor is inimitable in the style of his productions and delivery, be- ing humorous, pathetic, witty, philosophic, poetic, musical, dramatic and eloquent; and in this combination of variety he displays the most exquisite literary taste in its per- fect harmony and approp teness, and ex- hibits a complete mastery of his theme. His success as a lecturer has been phe- nomenal, by reason of the fact that he is unique, original, and above the usual. THE ANCIENT ~“PERUVIANS Raro Skill Shown si Their Fabrics, Pottery and Wéwelry. Brilliant Lecture by Mr. Frank Cush- “ing Giving. the Results of His Studies Gnithe Subject. The ancient peoples of Peru were the subject of a lecture: by Mr. Frank Cush- ing at the National Rifles’ Armory before the National Geographic Society. The won- derful civilization of the Incas and Uncas, which of late years ethnographers and travelers have declared was not at all what Prescott, in his so-called exaggerations, de- scribed it to be, was illustrated by new ma- terial, the rich and extensive discovery of Mr. William Scott of the University of Pennsylvania. Although far from well and urged by his physician not to make the effort, Mr, Cushing entertained his au- dience with a remarkably clear, well-ar- ranged picture and story of the ancient Peruvians. The massive works of masonry accomplished by the Incas were shown in several fine stereopticon illustrations, to- gether with views of the marvelous boats which to this day are made and used by their descendants. These are made of small, slender reeds, sewed and bound to- gether in pitch until they are water tight, every section of each reed being, in fact, an air-tight compartment, so that it is impossible to sink them. To show the high attainments made in surgery, several skulls were shown giving evidence of the art of trephining, which had been resorted to for relief from wounds, paralysis or other cerebral malady. In two cases it was clear that the opera- tion had been performed three times suc cessfully on the same subject. “The Incas raised ohacco, aid pe Cushing, ‘but did on the mareh or in battle, and one whi enables me to appear before you tonight.” ‘Che most wonderful and interesting part of the lecture, however, was that devoted to the potter; veaving and repousse work in gold and silver. These arts were shown with all the utensils and examples of the preducts of the ancient artisanship. The Incas had peculiar skill in weaving multi- colored fabrics, with bobbins marked with the designs to be employed, so that when these bobbins were laid out in order the operative could hardly make a mistake. Tkeir ingenuity wrought out methods and results that were unknown for centurles to Christendom. Their pottery and gold work appears chiefly in sacrificial and ceremonial vases ard ornaments, and is peculiar in form and rich in symbolical significance. In artistic effect much of the weaving and pottery shows a rare color sense, while their perspective and inventive skill in de- signing is quite similar to that of the mod- ern Zuni. —__~.__. HISTORY OF TELEGRAPHY. Meeting Here of the American Tele- graphic Historical Society. The Telegraphic Historical Society of America will hoid an anniversary meeting in Washington Wednesday at the board of trade rooms, beginning at 10 o'clock in the morning. This society embraces a notable membership of those who are in some his- torical sense identified with telegraphy. Hx-Gev. Cornell, whose father, Ezra Cor- neil, was one of the founders of the West- ern Union, and wko himself was an opera- tor fifty years ago, is president, and Mr. 8. H. Kauffmann of The Star, who was one of the first telegraph operators in Ohio, is first vice president. Mr. George C. May- nard, the well-known expert in electric patent law, is secretary. Among others prominent here and else- where who are enrolled as members of the society are George Kennan, Andrew Car- negie, L. C.

There are several noted members of the society who had part with Prof. Morse in the original demonstration of the feasibil- ity of telegraphic communication. Paul Connor of Washington accompanied Morse while Insnecting the wires between the cap- ital and Baltimore. S. J. Lea of Baltimore plowed the trench that held the first wires. James D. Reid, now consul at Dumferline, Scotland, designed some of the original Morse registers. Dr. Clark of Forest Glen made these registers. Henry A.

When the government coast and geodetic steamship Hassler, which has been at work on the coast twenty years, was offered for sale at Tacoma, Wash., the other day, Capt. John Irving of Victoria, B. C., was the highest bidder, at a low figure—$5,250. The Treasury Department has rejected the bid, but on entirely unexpected grounds. Word received from Washington stated that under no circumstances, whether the bid was high or low, would a vessel of this government be sold to an alien. Irving was formerly a citizen of the United States. Irving was at one time manager of the Puget sound for the Pacific Coast Steam- ship Company. ——___+e+_____ Bay Ridge—Season 1895.
