An old man named Thomas M. Berkeley was in Judge Kimball's court this morn- ing, charged with vagrancy, because he was found begging on the street. He had @ paper and was soliciting funds, as, he said, to bury his dead child. His child was killed by a beer wagon several days ago and there was an insurance of $120 on the child's Hfe. This, Judge Kimball thought, Was enough to defray the funeral ex- perses, Inspector Beaumont said he had known ner for many years. Berkeley, he harged from the navy yard and he has been drinking for ever since. “He is no earthly good to his family,” drinking, said witness, “and 1 think ninety days would do him good and get the whisky out of him.” A sentence of thirty days in default of bonds was imposed. ——__ The Afro-American Association.

INTERESTING EXERCISES No better evidence of the high place which the Spencerian Business College holds in the estimation of Washington peo- ple could be desired than a glance at the immense crowd which filled the Grand Opera House to its capacity yesterday af- ternoon, and enjoyed the interesting pro- gram of exercises presented in connection with the twenty-ninth annual commence- ment of the institution. All the available space in stage, boxes and auditorlum was occupied by friends of the college and of its pupils, and the enjoyment of the occa- sion was emphasized by the marks of ap- proval with which the exercises were so frequently accentuated. Upon the stage were Mrs. Sara A. Spen- cer, the principal of the college; Mr. J. Or- mond Wilson, Mr. Zalmon Richards, Mr. M. G. Emery, Mr. A. S. Pratt, Mr. Percy S. Foster, Rev. William C. Alexan- der, Mr. Frank B. Noyes, Mrs. Ellen Spen- cer Mussey, Prof. Henry C. Spencer, Prof. Duhamel, Miss Anna M. Hays, Miss Lucy M. Graves and Miss Lura C. Rugg. After the orchestra had played a couple of numbers the graduating classes, comprising seventy young men and wemen, the former wearing black coats, with red pinks on their lapels, and the latter attired in white gowns, marched on the stage, and after going through a march, which showed considerable practice in drilling, brought on their own chairs with sturdy indepen- dence, and seated themselves behind the floral wall at the footlights which was made up of the bouquets and baskets which had been sent to the graduates by admiring friends. Delivery of Salutatories. The invocation was offered by Rev. Wm. C: Alexander, and the exercises commenced with the salutatory, delivered by Mr. Geo. J. Hesselman, representing the night classes. He spoke briefly and brightly, confining his attention to practical observa- tions upon current events. He believed the future would be much brighter than pessi- mists would allow, and declared that hon- est money, a cessation of tariff agitation and the presence of business men instead of politicians in Congress would be specific remedies for the industrial evils with which the country was afflicted. Miss Josephine Therese Kelly urged young women to prepare themselves for the emer- gency which might come to all and cause them to seek self-support in the saluta- tory she delivered in behalf of the depart- ment of shorthand and typewriting, and abundantly proved her declaration that the world had no place for idlers of ¢i sex in a logical and pleasing manner. The same theme inspired Miss Mar Gibson in her exceliently prepared valedic- tory. For the gentlemen grahates Mr. Allister Sloan Langille delivered the valedictory and paid a high tribute to the ins i which had so abundantly equipped him for his future business lfe, dwelling particu- larly upon the close relations which exist between the college and the commercial classes of Washingt Mrs. Mussey’s Remarks. Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, the principal speaker of the day, was introduced by Mrs. Spencer. She described her connection with the college a quarter of a century ago and the pride she felt when she had assist- ed in turning out a graduating class of ven. ‘Those were the pioneer days in the of women's education, she said, and ss of seven were among the first women in the Union to undertake business life and its serious re- sponsibilities, and all of thern made a suc- ce Mrs. Mu: dwelt at length upon the value and eiticiency of young busin s women, and said that any woman who en- life in Washington was sure to be treated with respect and courtesy. Mrs. Spencer presented to the community, in a characteristic speech, the class of "95. “The Courtship of Miles Standish,” a study in expression, was exquisitely deline- ated by the class. Mrs. Spencer then introduced Mr. Frank B. Noyes, valedictorian of the class of ‘81, who awarded the diplomas. Mr. Frank B. Noyes’ Address. Mr. Noyes said: “I take it that my functton here today is that of an elder brother, who has preceded you by a few years in his plunge into the business of life, and to welcome you on what is practi- cally your entrance into the world of af- fairs. It will require a hard, earnest and constant fight to win any success worth attaining. Above all things, hold to the truth that all business is based on con- fidence and reliance in the integrity of oth- ers. Withdraw this confidence, on which, im the shape of credit, practically all the business of the worl] is transacted, and a crash paralyzing commerce instantly fol- lows. See to it shat, whatever past in life you play, you held like grim death to what is right and fair and honest, and do noth- ing to undermine this confidence. “As a community or nation gains wealth, and this in course of time passes by in- heritance to those who have not by any personal effort earned it, there grows up what-is called a “leisure” or “idle class.” This class in older ccuntries sets up a claim to some sort of superiority, which has, indeed, received a tacit recognition, preposterous as it may seem. Even in .his country, where our wealth is so new that idleness has been considered discreditable, we are developing enough idlers to make a very dangerous nucleus, and it seems necessary to warn the youth of the country that there is nothing creditable—nothing worthy of emulation—in voluntary idle- ress, Whether it be that of the holder of inherited wealth or that of the plain, ordi- nary, every-day tramp. ‘They are both cut from the same piece of cloth. They are both reaping where they have not sow- ed. It is not enough to say that a man’s money is working for him. If he is not producing something with hand or brain to make the worid richer, better and hap- pier he cumbers the earth, and the world would be better off without him. Least of all in this country should One tolerate any supercilious airs on the part of these para- sites. is not the country nor this the century fer idiers, loafers or tramps. you good cheer as you go forth conflict. ‘The training you have in this institution whose diplomas I am about to present you will be of im- mense aid in your coming struggle. The great body of graduates of Spencerian Susiness College you are about to join is an exceedingly honorable one. The bone and sinew of the business life of Washing- ton is largely madé up of those who have been trained In this institution, and the business houses of the city, to say the least, would be sadly crippled it the Spen- cerlan graduates were withdrawn from them.

The Success of the Coming May Fete is Practically Assured. , The final arrangements for the May fete, which will be given next week at the Light Infantry armory by the ladles of the com- mittees of the Atlanta exposition, were completed at a meeting held yesterday at the residence of Mrs. John G. Carlisle. There was a large attendance, and the re- ports of the various chairmen were of a gratifying nature. An executive committee to have charge of the entertainment was selected in the persons of Mrs. Halford, Miss E. C. Seikels, Mrs. McGill, Mrs. Gat- schet and Miss Alice Riggs. Mrs. T. H. Alexander w&s added to the indian com- mittee, of which Mrs. Blackburn, is chair- man, and it was stated that a wigwam would be erected and real Indian life de- picted during the fete. Mrs. RosaWright Smith from the colonial committee reported that arangements had Leen concluded for a colonial ball on the evening of May 11, which should open with the minuet and close with the Virginia reel, and Mrs. Labell stated that Mrs. Rich- ard Clark and other ladies had planned an educational program, to be given one of the days, in which well-known educators would participate. It was decided to fit up an American booth for the program committee and the art committee will have an attractive ex- hibit presided over by Mrs. John Joy Ed- son and Mrs. Young. Gratifying reports were made of the general and substantial interest being taken in the entertainment, and the ndications are that it will be high- ly successful in every particular. ee DISCUSSED BY UNITARIANS. The Part the Church Should Take in Manicipal Affairs. “The Part of the Church in Dealing With the Problems of the People” was the prin- cipal subject of discussion yesterday by the southern conference of Unitarian and other Christian churches at Baltimore. “Municipal Corruption” was the problem discussed by Rev. W. C. Peirce of New Orleansa “The church should take a part in mv- nicipal affairs," Mr. Peirce said. “I would not advocate the same methods as those pursued by Dr. Parkhurst in New York. We are not called upon to do police duty and hunt out crime. The whole responsi- bility of municipal corruption rests on the shoulders of the best ciitzens. They shirk their duty and stay away from the polls. “Poverty,” “Crime” and “Incompetence were the other problems, discussed re- ly by Rev. W. R. Cole of Atlanta, Rush R. Shippen of Washington and Rev. J. M. Seaton of Richmond, Va. Resolutions were adopted indorsing the efforts of the Baltimore Yearly Meeting of Friends toward purifying the press; provid- ing for a Unitarian Church booth at the coming Atlanta exposition; for the di ination of Unitarian doctrines and li ture: expressing the grief of the confer- ence at the death of Mr. John Y. Dixon cf Atlanta, Ga., who was the conference pres: ident last year. <a TO THE CONFEDERATE DEAD. Union Soldiers Who Favor the Dedi- eation of 2 Monumen To the Editor of ‘fhe Evening Star: I see that Mr. Thayer, commander of the Department of Messachuseits, G. A. R., protests vigorously against the proposed dedication of a monument to the memory of confederate dead. Not all Union soldiers share the commander's feeling in this re- spect. I, for one, do not. I doubt whether Abraham Lincoln or U. S. Grant, were they living, would share it. Why should not the confederate dead be remembered? Why should not their surviving friends honor them for their devotion to what, from boy- hood, they had been led to believe was a holy cause? What harm, to any one, can the erection of such a monument do? North and south is quite agreed, at this day, that the triumph of the south would have been the worst thing that could have happened to all. But the casus belli, Mr. Editor, was simply a difference’of opinion as to the nature of the tie which bound the states together. The north rightly thought that this was a nation. The south that it was but an alliance of sovereign states. The south 1.0 longer holds to this view. The nation has been welded together by rivers of blood and by oceans of wo- men’s tears. The nation is accepted by all as sovereign beyond dispute. The Ameri- can republic, we all believe, is eternal us the hills. God grant it may prove so! Ard why, then, should we not honor the man- heod, the valor, of the southern soldier, who thought he was right, and who had the courage to offer his life for a cause to him sacred? AUGUST DONATH, Of Post 25, Dept. of Penna., G. A. R. pmieie tees Holding the Fort. J. Wallace Barnes, the liquor drummer, who was arrested for threatening his fam- ily and sent to the insane asylum because of the unsound condition of his mind, has escaped. Yesterday while out exercising he got away from his attendants and react his home, No. 1319 Vermonth avenue, fcre he ‘could be overtaken. When he reached home and saw his wife the ter thought she would k him home for a while at least, ard when the asylum at- tendants arrived they found that the hus band and wife had barred the doors agaiz them and they were powerless in the ma ter. The police were appealed to, but they knew of no law that would permit them to enter and take the escaped patient, and so he was permitted to remain in his castle. During the night the police watched about the vicinity of the house to be on hand should Barnes become violent. This morning Barnes still at home. Chevy Chase Club. The Chevy Chase Club has arranged to hold a point to point steeplechase Satur- day, May 11. The distance will be three miles. Mr. Rozier Dulaney and Mr. Clar- ence Edwards have been selected as judges and Mr. Clarence Moore as starter, while Mr. Joseph Holloway will map out the ccurse.

Ve wd Mace ——= AMUSBBMENTS. — Academy of M:sicx-The Hinrichs Opera Company produced*“Faust” last night In a manner which wascalculated to remove any lingering doubt)as to the success of the engagement. Phe verdict was better thar. a critical option; It was the spon- taneous expression iof popular enthus'asm. There was no dispesition to stint the ap- plause. The method. of the management is to concentrate dts forces on the per- formance of the principals in the cast. There is little effomt mt scenic display, and the appreciation shewn the honest musical merit upon which the entertainment relies is a credit to the-general taste. The in- equality of things-was ‘Illustrated by the fact that while the performance was bet- ter than that of “Carmen” the house was not so large. Mme. Van Cauteren evoked warm demonstrations of approval by the manner in which she sang Marguerite, and Michelena was not only a conscientious and capable musician, but, what is so desirable in a tenor, a pleasing figure on the stage. Viviani was at home in the part of Me- phisto. Miss Fleming as Siebel and Miss Synneberg as Martha earned a share of commendation and gave promise of good things in the future. Campanari had the comparatively subordinate role of Valen- tine, but made a powerful impression, none the less. His animation and sympathy make him one of the most notable singers heard here in a long time. The work of the orchestra was an improvement on the performance of the night before, although it still plays too loud, and the chorus made a good showing, all things considered. Tonight “Giaconda” will sing for the first time in this city in a number of years. Mr. Henrichs has made a proposition to Sig. Maina, and it is possible that he may be heard in the “Barber of Seville’ and in “Faust” during this operatic season. New National Theater.—Mr. and Mrs. Kendal* last night gave “The Second Mrs. Tauqueray” at the New National Theater to an audience that was certainly apprecia- tive of their efforts. The play itself was commented upon at length in these col- umns when it was first presented here¥ and the opinion then expressed is not in any way modified. It is built upon an artificial motive, it is vicious in its purpose, and it leaves a bad taste in the mouth when it is finished. Still it furnishes an opportunity for some forceful acting, which is taken advantage of by Mr. and Mrs. Kendal. and their admirable company. Tonight the at- traction will be a strong contrast in “A Scrap of Pape An Old Folks’ Concert.—An Old Folks’ concert will be given at the Universalist Church, corner of 13th and L streets north- west,this evening at 8 o'clock. The program will consist of old-time songs and recita- tions, and a most enjoyable evening is promised. Miss Harriette Whiting of Bos- ton, Mr. Melville Hensey, Mr. George Terry and others will sing, and Mr. E. D. Tracey will take the part of Father Kemp. It will be gratifying to the many friends of Miss Whiting to again listen to her rich con- tralto voice, and the fact that she is to sing will no doubt greatly increase the size of the audience. Mr. Anton Kaspar’s Musicale.—Tickets for the farewell recital of Mr. Anton Kas- par, the talented violinist of this city, are selling rapidly and show the regard which his friends and admirers have for him. The recital will take place at the Universalist Church tomorrow evening, and the pro- gram which will be rendered by Mr. Kas- par and his assistants will be replete with musical gems. Mme. Kaspar will sing Elsa’s Dream from “Lohengrin,” Stakely will sing Benedict’s variati the Carnival of Venice, and Miss Mary Lockhart will give a couple of songs. The Wilhelmj Club will play Gounod’s “Faust” fantasia, Haydn’s Theme and Variations from the imperial quartet and a serenade de mandolins. Mr. Kaspar himself will play Vieuxtemps’ ‘Fantasie Appassionata,” the Bruch concerto, DeBeriot’s rondo, the preisblied from the “Meister Singer” and a Wientawski mazurka. on to Richmond.—The Young 1 Club will give a grand excur- sion to Richmond, Va., tomorrow, the trains leaving the Baltimore and Potomac depot at 11 o'clock p.m. A number of the members of the club and their friends have signified their intentiqgn of going and they will no doubt*enjoy the hospitality of the southern city. The City of Rome.—A lecture on the City of Rome will be delivered by Rev. Father Dulany Addison at Trinity: Parish Hail, corner 2d street and Indiana avenue, this evening at 8, q'clock.. The lecture will be profusely illustrated with a fine series of pictufes, and the lecturer is one who is rapable of holding the interest of every one throughout. The ‘a of Telemach.—The perform- ance relemach,” Prof. Emile Mori's new opera, the postponement of which was made ary by the illness of. one of the soloists, will take place at Metzerott Music Hall May 7, at 8 p.m. The post- ponement will give the chorus a week longer in which to rehearse, and it will probably show the benefit of the respite which has thus been given it. All details are ready, however, for a most pleasing rendition of the new opera comique, and the cast, chorus and ballet dancers are all capable of properly interpreting the work. Concert and Hop.—A concert and hop was given last night at National Rifles’ Armory for the benefit of Mount Vernon Ledge, No. 5, Knights of Pythias, which was largely attended by the friends of the order. The program was short, but excellent, and dancing occupied the re- mainder of the evening. The Apollo Quar- tet sang three selections in their usual fine style, and the Olmo Mandolin Orches- tra played a number of pieces, which were heartily enjoyed by the audience. Mr. Arthur D. Mayo played the overture to “Rigoletto,” receiving an ovation when he had finished the difficult number, and Mr. Bernard Ryan sang the turnkey’s solo from “Robin Hood.” Mrs. A. V. Holmes sang a soprano solo, and received un- stinted applause, her selection being “Swal- low, Roving Swallow. SS The Pettes Water Color Sale. The auction sale at Walter B. Williams & Co.’s last night of the now famous Pettes collection of fine water colors tracted a large audience. Prices were ru ously low.

The National Geographic Society’s Yearly Excursion. In spite of the weather, the excursion to Fredericksburg, planned for tomorrow by the National Geographic Soctlety, will doubt- less be a great success, judging by the applications already received. At any rate, it will go, exactly as planned, except that in case of continued threatening weather the meeting will be held in the Grand Opera House in the city of Fredericksburg in- stead of in the open air, and members ard guests will be accorded the privilege of taking lunch there, after the meeting. In fact, no effort will be spared on the part of the people there to give the society a cordial welcome, and extend true Virginian hospitality. The meeting here this evening at Na- tlonal Rifles’ Armory will be devoted to the geography, geology and history of the re- gion to be visited tomorrow, and after the more scientific discussion of natural features three heroes of the battle, Gen. John A. Gibbon, U. 8. army; Major Gilbert Thomp- son, U. 8. V., and Major Jed. Hotchkiss, formerly C. 8. A., will give a brief outline of their experiences in the terrific fighting there in 62-3. Maj. Hotchkiss was on Gen. R. E. Lee’s staff durirg the battles, gnd in one day, during the heaviest of the battles, rode a hundred miles, by actual measurement on the maps, carrying messages for his chief. He will have a big map to illustrate the movements of the troops. The board of managers of the National Geographic Society authorizes the an- nouncement that an invitation will be ex- tended to the International Geographical Society to hold its seventh meeting in this city, and there is good reason to believe that the invitation will be accepted. This invitation will be presented at the sixth international congress, which will be opened in London July 26 next. The sev- enth congress will be held in 1898. ——— Odd Fellows’ Visitation.
