Three short plays— “Furnished Apartments,” “Hypnotism” and “A Vendetta’’—will be presented, under the direction of Prof. E. B. Hay, the principal. The “Magic Mirror,” a poem written by Mr. Ambrose L.

They Were Greatly Pleased, for Most of Them Thought the Tickets Were Merely a Bluff. For the first time in the history of the Police Court there were no hungry prison- ers tried today, and with full stomachs the two score and five unfortunates instead of pleading for bread engaged in singing hymns of thanksgiving. John L. Baker, the keeper of a dairy lunch room near the court, furnished the sandwiches and coffee, and Policeman M. B. Flynn was detailed to superintend the affair, while he looked on to see that the egg sandwiches, ham sand- wiches and coffee were distributed to the hungry ones. Caterer Baker was on hand early in the morning with a basket fiiled with sandwiches and’a large pot of coffes with enough shining tin cups to pass around. At the police stations the prisoners, with two exceptions, were given tickets, and theze were presented to the caterer, who in turn gave them the large sandwiches and coffee, and the scene presented was one of supreme happiness. It required only a short time to pour the coffee and hand around the sandwiches, and the prisoners who were thus made happy sat about on the iron benches and stood in small groups thoroughly enjoying what was given them. The two prisoners who were not fed were arrested this morning after they had had their breakfast at home and they did not want the court refreshments. The feeding of the prisoners made a very great difference in their conduct, and no trouble whatever was experienced. When the first man appeared at the bars for his early morning food he could har realize that he was going to be treated so Five Hundred Fresh Young Voices Heard at a Successful Rehearsal. All the 500 -pupils of the high schools who are to sing in the cgncert at the Academy of Music Friday evening were given a rehearsal today at noon at’ the theater.

The girls made kindly. # pretty picture as they sat on the im- “Is I gwine ter git somethin’ ter eat sho’ | mense stand, which completely {ills_ the ‘nough?” he asked the caterer. stage. As far back as one could see there “You certainly are,” was what Caterer] was a sea of pretty faces, set off by the Baker answered, handing over the sand- wich and coffee. ‘I thought ‘twas a bluff,” the prisoner said, ‘cause I’se been in dis cote befo’, and I’se always been hungry, and never befo’ is I been given anythin’, ‘scusin’ water.” The giving of the food shocked some of the men and they could hardly realize the truth of the new move until they had en- joyed their sandwiches and coffee. In the female ceil there were eight pris- oners, and they were unable to conceal their delight when they got a whiff of the hot coffee and fried eggs. Most of them had been in court before and the new de- parture pleased them so well that they will undoubtedly return later on. Included in the crowd of male prisoners were several tramps, and any one of them could have eaten all the sandwiches, but with them small favors were thankfully received, and they expected larger ones later in the day. When the food had been distributed ana eaten and the cups returned, one of the colored boys asked for a toothpick and napkin, which, of course, were not forth- coming. “That's a fine racket,” said the colored boy. “Any fellow can get toothpicks with free lunch.” The prisoners had all been fed and the caterer had di: peared half an hour ke- ed, and the affair caused cclors of the dresses, while on the sides were stationed the hoys, who are to carry the lower chorus parts. All the numbers were gone through with in a manner to challenge criticism, and those who were present expressed themselves as highly pleased with the. work of rehearsal. The velees were pure and fresh, and excel- lently blended. Mr. Tomlins is as much pleased over the work of the high school pupils as he is over the results of his work with the graded school pupils. Defective Garbage Collection. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The recent spell of hot weather has de- veloped the fact that this summer we. are to have repeated the experience of past summers with an inefficient garbage serv- ice. The same people are doing the work with the same old plant and the same old methods. Instead of putting in service carts enough to collect the garbage they jind it more profitable to limit their efforts to gobbling up all the money in sight and then play a game of bluff with the author- ities until the cold weather sets in, when they drop out of sight and are allowed to do the work as they please without annoy- ance from anybody. Two years ago the police investigation showed that the contractor had thirty-three arts collecting garbage at that time and that the total number of visits to houses was less than 6,000 each day—about 15 per cent of the numbet required. At the pres- ent time the contractor is paid for making 30 per cent more visits, and he is trying to go it with twenty-five carts. Commis- stoner Truesdell is a man of affairs, as his success in life shows, and I would ike him to solve a very simple question in arith- metic. If thirty-three carts, under the spur of police supervision, can serve 6,000 jouses daily, how many houses can twenty- five carts serve? When he gets the cor- rect answer he will be in a position to know just what the contractor is doing for his money. The trouble is that the garbage plant isn’t extensive enough to make one complete round of the city in ten fore court conv 0 inconvenience. Policeman Flynn was more than satisfied was a complete “they that the affa “Why,” he made happy that_ they ng fore the coffee and sandw-ches were gon SRE Sa Transfers of Real Estate.

The Festival of Song.—Tonight the people of Washington will have a chance to judge of the effectiveness of the musical training given the children in the public schools of this city, on the occasion of the concert by the chorus of 500 voi from the graded schools at the Academy of Music. The re- hearsals have shown that the children are capable of some very beautiful singing, and their director, Mr. Tomlins of Chicago, has expressed himself as being entirely satisfied with the result of his efforts in utting the finish on the work which has eer gene through with since the tots first entered the schools. While the children from the graded schaols sing tonight, a chorus of the same number of voices from the high schools of tie city will give a concert tomorrow night at the same place. Miss Maude Powell, violinist; the Apollo Quartet and Mrs. Ernest Lent, accompan- ist, will assist the choruses on both oc- casions. An unusually attractive program of light music has been prepared, and everything seems to point to a most suc- cessful event. « Innes’ Band Concerts.—Innes’ Band has drawn immense crowds wherever it has given exhibitions this season, and, from present indications, it does not seem that the engagement of the band in this city will be any exception. There will be four per- formances. This afternoon the “Day at the World’s Fair’ was inaugurated and tomorrow afternoon it will be repeated. ‘Tonight the “War and Peace” will be given, to be repeated tomorrow night. Both these productions are or a most elaborate scale, and every detail that could add to the com- pleteness of the whole presentation has been carefully looked after. The soloists ace entirely fitted for the parts which they will play in the performances and all have enjoyed the utmost amount of praise wherever they have sung. ——_—_ Epworth League Program. At a meeting of the board of control of the District Epworth League held last night at the Foundry M. E.

E. Church the evening of June 17. The formation of Epworth leagues in Bowie and Perkins, Md., was reported. ‘There is to be a notable league event in Chattanooga for five days, beginning June 2%—the international conference of Epworth leagues. Notable speakers are announced, and delegates from societies of the three great branches of the church, the Meth- odist Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal South and Methodist Episcopal of Canada, will be in attendance. The committee on transpor- tation was directed to obtain information as to the lowest rates which could be se- cured and to report at the mass meeting to be held tho 17th instant. It is expected that a large number of Washington leaguers will desire to go to Chattanooga. > A Sunday School Reception.
