A Chinese Village in the National Rifle’ Armory—Program fer the Different Nights. ‘The National Rifles’ Hall by Monday evening next will be changed, so far as ap- pearance is concerned, into a Chinese vil- lage. For two weeks brightly uniformed men will mingle with gaily costumed maid- ens, and it is expected that the scene will be a reminder of the city of Tin‘Sing dur- ing the recent unpleasantness ‘between China and Japan. The transformation de- scribed is being made by the Corcoran Cadet Corps, which is going to hold a mili- tary fete, an affair, it is claimed, unique and original and unlike anything ever at- tempted heretofore in Washington. All the decorations are to be, of the company’s colors—blue, white and: gold—and creditable taste Is being displayed in blending together the shades mentioned. The many ladies who will assist during the fete, the names of whom have herétofore been published in The Star, will all wear gowns of blue, white and gold, The Corcoran Cadet Corps was the incep- tion of a score of-school boys, fourteen years ago. During that period, by diligent effort, the command has moved on and up- ward, till today it occupies a leading posi- tion in the District of Columbia National Guard. It has been six years since the Corcorans last held a fair, amd funds are now needed with which to purchase new uniforms, as only about one-half the mem- bers are equipped with the necessary outfit. In the center of the hall will be a cottage forty feet in length, in which the lady as- sistants mean to dispose of fancy articles, flowers, lemonade, soda water, peanuts and popcorn in large quantities, and conduct a uniquely arranged grab bag, a Chinese in- vention never before displayed in this city. Around the sides of the halt will be erected cottages for the sale of cigars, ice cream and the like. There will also be what is designated as the “Great Oneida Prize Stand,” where, it is said, visitors wiil be able to secure’a greater return for money expended than at any other place connected with the bazaar. - Among the Novelties. Among the many novelties will be a genu- ine Tzigane from Ruasia, who will reveal mysteries of the past and future for a small consideration. A photograph gallery, using the electric ight process, is also to be in operation. In a room in the gallery Prof. West will mystify audiences with ex- hibitions of black art and ledgerdemain. Of course, there will be an oppor‘unity to hit the “coon” with base balls, the successful ones to be rewarded with souvenir C. C. C. pins. A decidedly attractive place is to be # park in the south end of the hall, where refreshments will be served. This is to con- sist of cedar and pine trees, with a scatter- ing of tables and seats in their midst. Among the articles to be voted for are the following: Double-seat outrigger of latest design, diamond. rings, gold watch, Mystic Shrine pin, camera, National Guard officers’ overcoats and caps, fishing tackle, silver tea set and others. There will be a new system of votiag for a $200 trap and an antique clock of the Daniel Webster pat- tern. The decorations of the walls and ceiling will be of an elaborate nature, the ceiling being arranged to represent_a large tent. The Corcorans have provided bountifully for the entertainment. of visitors. A vary- ing program for esch evening has been mapped out, among the contributors being a number of well-known professionals. Dancing each evening ia to be a feature of the bazaar. A competitive drill, open to squads of sixteen men, will eccur Wednesday and ‘Thursday evenings, November 6 and 7. The entries include the Morton Cadets, Na- tional Rifles, Emmet Guard and Suess Rifles, and the prize is a costly silver cup or a stand of colors. Nearly évery com- pany in the District National Guard will be represented in an individual competi- tive drill Friday evening, November 8, for a handsome gold medal and the champion- ship of the District »f Columbia.

Pro- pise, jr.. . E. Thompson and W. H. Smith. Each member of the committee is chairman of a subcommittee. ——— Contest of Horseless Carriages. An event which should attract consider- able attention is the contest of motor cycles next week, The race has been arranged from Chicago to Waukegon and return, a distance of over 100 miles. Over forty dif- ferent vehicles are already entered. The Scientific American of the 19th October has an interesting article, describing the condi- tions and the names of the competitors. The judges chosen, Gen. Wesley Merritt, chief electrician of Chicago and president of the Carriage Builders’ Association. Gen- eral utility, cost, speed and safety are all to be considered in the awards. The race Is open to the world. It fs surprising to note that most of the competitors are westerners or foreigners. Abroad these vehicles have come into wide use, and at a recent meeting in the Champ de Mars, Paris,,there were over two hundred entries, driveh by steam, gasoline or electricity. Perhaps the most promising motor power is the new easily compressible gas, acetylene. It is concen- trated under comparatively light pressures nearly 40 times into liquid form, and in portable vessels can be attached and sup- plied to almost any type of gas engine. In a test at Philadephia recently it is said to have developed double the force of city gas, and to have left the exhaust perfectly clean. The vehicles can also obtain light and heat from the same supply of gas.— Advertisement. es “$1.25 to Baltimore and Return via Pennsylvania Railroad.” Tickets sold Saturday and Sunday, Octo-. ber 26 and 27, returning ‘Monday, the “Sth, good cn any train.—Advt.

Its Program for Amusements for the Present Season. A new musical farce was rehearsed by the mixed chorus of the Germania Maen- nerchor last evening, its title being “Blue Blood.” The chorus contemplates opening the season with this operetta November 25 at Masonic Temple, and rehearsals will be held up to that time from now on. The chorus is under the efficient leadership of Prof. Christiani, and it is expected that the new piece will make a hit. The eighteenth versary of the Germania Maennerchor il be held at Schwarz’s German Jiall, 827 7th street, December 27. Only members and their families will te admi <0 this, how- ever, and the occasion will be made en- joyable in the way peculiar to Germans. The annual masquerade ball of the society will take place February 3, 1896, at Masonic Temple, and will be followed by the rendi- tion of a comic opera, concert and tall March 3, and another grand ball on some date in April. There are row about fifty-five voices in the Germania Maennerchor, male and fe- male, while the passive membership is about three hundred. The members of the chorus are all ready to enter into hard work in preparation for the coming musi- cal events and the outlook for the coming season is very bright. A movement is in progress in the society to-build a hall of its own, and one of the oldest members of the organization will donate a lot for that pur- Pose. The present officers Of the Germania Maennerchor are: President, B, F. Schu- bert; vic: president, George R. Fischer; secretary, F, Aue; treasurer, August Schwarz; committee on amusement for the geason 1895-96, Messrs. W. Pohiman, M. Marion, Conrad Richter, Anthony Nau and Franz Ehnert. ee CONVENTION OF EDUCATORS. Prominent Activity of Washington Tenchers in Arranging the Affair. There meets next week in Atlanta a na- tional educational congress, in which sev- eral Washington educators participate. The occasion has been provided for by most thorough organization. Mrs. William D. Cabell, president of the woman’s auxil- lary committee of the congress, has been very active in securing the co-operation of different persons throughout the country who are interested in education. With her cn the committee are Miss Morton, Mrs. W. L. Wilson, Miss Herbert, Mrs. E. F. Uhl, Mrs. D. Robert Barclay, Mrs. Charles Stakely, Mrs. Sidwell, Mrs. A. G. Wilkin- son, Mrs. A. J. Halford, Mrs. Henry W. Seymour, Mrs. John L.

J. F. Gou- ches, president of the Woman's College of Baltimcre. Among the ladies are Miss Lucy P. Salmon of Vassar, Miss Ely of Welles- ley, Mrs. Edna Chaffee Noble of Detroit and Mrs. May Wright Sewall of Indian- apolis. SS BILL NYE AND BERT POOLE. Two Kings of Humor Will Delight a Large Audience. Metzerott Hall, it is expected, will be packed to the doors with the most culti- vated people of Washington tomorrow night on the cccasion of the Nye and Poole en- tertainment. Soclety should be convinced that a rare treat Is in store for it in the program to be furnished by these gentle- men, which is much above the usual class of platform entertainments. While the oc- casion may not be wholly a full-dress affair, yet it is reasonably certain that a majority of costumes to be seen will be of that char- acter. The press everywhere speaks in the highest terms of praise of the ability of both gentlemen to furnish a high grade of amusement. ——_——- AMUSEMENTS: George Graham's Benefit.—The friends of George Graham, the weli-known mono- logue artist, gave him a benefit last night at National Rifles’ Hall, which was very enjoyable. Although the audience was small, it made up in enthusiasm, and ap- Plauded every number to tke echo. The show was on the variety order, and some very good turns were put on by the friends and admirers of Mr. Graham. The Del Ray Brothers, in acrobatic feats, and How- ard and Leigh, in a contortion act, and Hale, the club swinger of Baltimore, all re- ceived enthusiastic applause. Of course, the feature was George Graham himecif, and he was obliged to come out again and again and acknowledge the appreciation which his friends showed of his work. A number of others took part in the perfurm- ance with credit. “The Conv'ct."”—The Comme 11 Faut Dra- matic Club presented “The Convict” last evening at St. Joseph's Hall, 2d street be- tween C and D streets northeast, to a large and enthusiastic audience. | “The Convict” is a three-act melodrama, and was written by Mrs. Ida M. Colford of this city. It abounds in thrilling and amusing situations, and the members of the dra- matic company presented it in a very able way. These who took part were Edwin Baker, Alphonse Rice, Daniel Murphy, Joseph H. Pellen, Miss Hettie Howard, Miss Ruth Colford, Mrs. M. B. Greenwell and Miss Pearl Evans. Mrs. Colford tas written another play, “True Metal,” which will be produced in a short time. pee a A Washington Man Honored. During the convention of the National Laundrymen’s Association recently held at Atlanta’ an enterprising manufacturer of- fered the most popular laundryman a mag- nificent centrifugal clothes wringer, and it was secured by Mr. Frank Walker of the Yale"Steam Laundry of this city. He is naturally quite proud of it, and, prior to putting It into active use, has placed it on exhibition at his main branch, 514 10th street. The interior basket of the wringer makes fourteen hundred evolutions a min- ute, the clothes being wrung thoroughly dry by vacuum pressure, thus saving all wear and tear on the garments. The next meeting of the National Laundrymen’s As- sociation will be held in Chicago. Sa Funeral of John R. Gullen. The funeral of the late John R. Gullen took’place from Lee's undertaking estab- lishment yesterday afternoon, the remains being buried at Arlington. John A, Raw- lins’ Pest, No. 1, G. A. R., and Washington Lodge, Order of Elks, attended the funeral, Past Exalted Ruler John C. Maxwell of the latter order conducting the services at the undertaking establishment and Comrade Christopher Bollinger reading the burial services at the grave. It is said that the Elks will investigate the disposition of the estate of the deceased. Se Good Templars’ Anniversary. The thirtieth anniversary of the estab- lishment in the District of the Order of Good Templars will be celebrated Novem- ber 20 with appropriate exercises and much ceremony.

It is proposed to devote the week ccmmencing Sunday, November 17, to celebraticns sig- nificant of the occasion, beginning with a sermon on Sunday. Minnehaha Lodge will celebrate its thirtieth anniversary Tuesday, November 19, and other interesting services will be held. —.__ Blood wine free today at Mertz’s drug Cisne corner 11th and F streets n.w.—Advt. gecececcsesovcooeocooessees 3Your Happiness: Depends upon a_ healthy body ard 2 contented mind.

Collett conducted the ceremonies. Rev. J. H. Robinson an- nounced the hymn “Coronation,” Rev. W. J. Johnson delivered ;the invocation and scripture lessons weretread by Rev. W. R.

Church, the names of the President and his cabinet, of the bishops of the A. M. E. Church, and of the ministers present.at the ceremonies and copies of the religious and secular press of the day. —————_—_ THE WINGED ARROW. A Bright Paper to Be Issued During the C. A. € Carnival. The press committee of the Columbia Athletic Club carrival met yesterday af- ternoon, with Chairmen Hibbs presiding. and the preliminary arrangements for is- suing a nightly paper during the progress of the entertairment were completed, and the subcommittee authorized to make defi- nite plans for its publication. It was de- cided to call It the Winged Arrow, in recog- nition of the well-known emblem. of the club, and that it will be a bright and enter- taining journal is scarcely necessary to state. Alrzady there is much rivalry of a subdued, but nevertheless intense, charac- ter being felt among the members of the committee over the editership of the Winged Arrow, and it is probable that be- fore this all-important matter is settled there will be-as many heartaches occa- sioned by it as by that other well-known barbed shaft that a certain young mytho- logical hero uses with such telling effect. The salary connected with the position is not so much an incentive as the gloriously broad scope the columns will give for the treatment of all subjects. The board of governors also met last night, and a number of new members were elected, while a great many former mem- bers were reinstated. The committees on decorations, dorations and booths will meet tonight. Fell. From a Tree. William Betters, colcred, of 309 South Carolina averue fell from a tree at the corner of 3¢ and B streets last evening, and was removed to his home in an unconscious ecndition by the fifth precinct patrol wagon. Betters had climbed the tree, it is sald, to witness a cake walk. Absolutely Pure. A cream of tartar‘baking powder.

One entire floor is devoted to the wants of the short pants wearers, boys from 2} to 16} 4! years. Suits, Overcoats, Reefers and all other wearables in an endless va- riety of styles, fabrics, colors and ‘patterns, and all grades, from the cheapest that is reliable to the finest to be obtained anywhere. One of our strongest lines is our - $5.00 Grade of both Suits and Reefers. In it you'll find the same qualities as in other people’s $6 and $7 lines, but made better and fit better and more stylish than theirs. Another big value grade is the Long Pants Three-piece Suits, sizes 15 to 19 years, at $7.50. . Single Breasted Sacks, in plaids, checks, Scotch mixtures and plain blue and black cheviots. The equal of any $10.00 suit in town. Finer ones at all prices, up to $25.00. Boys’ and Children’s SHOES, HATS and Furnishings of all kinds. The only complete stock in town.
