Beware of counterfeits! HIGH SCHOOL CLUBS Social Organizations Among the Enter- prising Young Studedts. Organized for Pleasure and for Protit —Meeting Nights, the Members and Ofticers. All of the matters concerning the four High Schools are in a flourishing condition, and everything is moving along at a very satisfactory pace. Now that the bazaar has come to an end everything has assum- ed its natural form, and the saidents are giving their attention to their own affairs again. The social clubs are all prospering and holding their regular meetings. Among them are the Senior, Junior, Glee, Chess and Banjo and Mandolin Clubs, with the orchestra at the Central, Inter Nos and Glee Clubs at the Eastern, Kamptown Soshul Klub at the Western, and the Senior Club and Debating Society at the Rvsiness. The last club in the field is the Chess of the Central, which is now being organized by Mr. Frederick Kummel. It is hoped by the Central boys that last year’s Chess and Checker Club of the Eastern will be reorganized soon, so that a series of gxmes may be arranged shortly after the holidays. The Janior Club. The Junior Club, an organization for the purpose of promoting the social relations and pleasures, and increasing a greater social spirit in the junior class of the Cen- tral High School, held its last meeting at the residence of Miss Schoenborn last Fri- day evening. The time was very pleasant- ly spent in chatting and dancing. A fitting souvenir of the occasion, one of which was given to each member by the hostess, was a dark blue ribbon with the word “Juniors” printed in white letters. Those present were Misses Hall, Clark, Moore, Pease, Rich, Schoenborn, Knight and Jones, and Messrs. Morris, Chase, Major Chas. Fox, Lieut. Howe, Capt. Hoge, Capt. Hoover, Lieut. Farrow, Capt. Van Bayer and Lieu! Ray. Following are the officers: Major C. J. Fox, president; Miss May Hall, vice president; Capt. H. C. Hoge, secretary; Miss Annie B. Moore, sergeant-at-arm8, and Miss Annie Clark, treasurer. Inter At the Eastern the most important social organization is the Inter Nos, which meets at the home of one of the members every other Friday evening. The officers of this club are Miss Shirley Potter, president; Mr. Dana White, vice president, and Mr. J. Strother Miller, secretary. The mem- bership is limited to twelve reprosentatives of each sex and consists of the following: Misses Annie Gorman, Irene Sanderson, May Weide, Louise Dodge, May Seville, Shirley Potter, Blanche Durfee, Annie French, Georgie Forbes, M. L. Dodge, Marie Sanderson and Birtha Yoder and Messrs. Walter'French, Alfred Erly, Her- bert Hunter, Harry Plerce, Donald Fithian, George Thorn, Samuel L. Spaulding, Pen White, J. Strother Miller, Dana White, Charles Thorn and Howard Ball. Glee Club. This club, which is under the carefui su- pervision of Mr. Philip Gerry of the facul- ty at the Eastern, is of interest to the en- tire school and bids fair to be more suc- cessful than the one of last year. All of the weekly meetings have been well at- tended, and the time has been devoted to coliege songs, but later more difficult glees and four-part songs will be studied. The members are as follows: | First tenors, Messrs. C. Church and Embrey; secorid tenors, Messrs. Erly, Graham, Donn, Pot- ter, M ee a eaver, Hughes and E. Wright; bank, ies. Ko Gafen, Spruce- White, Evans, Stone- braker and W. erson; second bassos, M i, Harrison, Hunter, Forbush and Maupin, and Mr. de Grain, ac- companist. The club prides itself on the fact that one member, Mr. Embrey, can reach the treble clef with his voice, and another, Mr. Miller, can climb down seven stories to low E. B. H. §. Debating Society and Senior Clap, The recrganization of the Debating So- ciety of the Business High School for its third year took place about two weeks ago, when the members decided on a plan of action for the year, and elected Miss Throckmerton as faculty adviser. The next ng Will be Friday, after which weekly n ngs will be held. Those pres- ent at the first meeting we Misses Y! man, Alder, Mudd, Ryan, Gresham, O'Gor- men, and Miss Throckmorton of the fac- ulty, and Messrs. Beuchert, Ross, Austin, Stone, Wheeler and Lieut. Kell, ‘The Besiness Senior Club is composed mostly of second year pupils and a few ates. The members of this club are ses Dexter, Kneesi, Simonds, Miller, son, Loefiler, Hiatt and Manning und Messrs. Gibson, Stewart, Bryant, Council man, yan, Hahn, Beuchert and Games and dancing the good old Vi reel, which they have down to a iine point, are always on the program. Banjo and Mandolin Club A Banjo and Mandolin Club has been formed at the Central School by Mr. Bar- The other members are Messrs. Hopkins, Ravenburg, Hottell, Rein- grasiy. Harvey, Barr, Norwood and F. 'G. Butts. Rehearsals are held every week, and much is expected of them soon. Christmas Entertainment, The Central will have its usual enter- tainment next Monday at the close of school. The hall will be decorated with Christmas greens, and the second, third and fourth year classes will assemble to hear a musical program. The Glee Club will sing a few selections from “Robin Hood,” and the orchestra and Banjo and Mandolin Clubs will render several num- bers, provided they are able to prepare in time. These entertainments always arouse a great deal of Christmas spirit. Christmas holiday does not begin until Tuesday only lasts through New Year day. Many of the pupils thought that they would have a full two weeks’ vacation, but this cannot be granted, because the school rules allow for only one day before Christmas and the intervening time, including the Ist of Jan- uary, unless the second day be on a Fri- day, in which case the holidays would ex- tend over to the following Monday.

CARSON’S OPPONENTS 2 The struggle between the various aspi- rants for the honor of representing the re- publicans of the District at the national convention which meets in St. Louis June 16 next is becoming more animated as the time for their selection gets closer, and lines are beg-nning to be more sharply drawn between the faci‘ons and followers of this, that and the other candidate. The skirmishing preliminary to the campaign really began in August, when a number of meetings were held in various sections of the city. ‘These gatherings were largely called for the purpose of helping the chances of aspirants who were opposed to a further continuance of the power so long exerted by Perry Carson in local republican affairs and in most instances they were attended by Carson himself, who managed to turn them into popular demonstrations in his own behaif by reason of his popularity with the members of his own race. These hap- penings, however, d.d not have the effect of d.minishing in the least -the determination of the other candidaies to secure, if pos- sible, the support of the District republi- cans when the choosing time for delegates arrived and a change was made in their tactics, and a spec:es of still hunting re- sorted to, which has resulted, temporarily, at least, in quite an elevation of the:r hopes. The Primary System. The chief outcome of this plan of cam- paigning was reached in the meeting of the national republican committee last week, when Powel! Clayton of Arkansas pre- sented and secured the passage of a reso- lution providing that the two delegates to the next republican national convention from the District of Columbia should be chosen at a primary election to be held in,| the District and at which every republican voter should be given full and free oppor- tunity to vote for his choice as delegate. The resolution also provided for the ap- pointment of three persons, who should make all the arrangements as to the time of such primaries, and select the places where they should be held. It also clothed them with the authority to appoint the judges of such primaries. In pursuance of this resofutio:: Messrs. Perry Carson and Andrew Gleeson were named as two of the supervisors, as they are called, and the selection of the third, whick remains with Chairman Thomas H. Carter of the national committee, is being eagerly awaited by all concerned. The names most generally men- tioned now in. this connection are those of W. W. Dudley and Louis D. Wine. The action of the committee in this re- gard was received with every manifesta- tion of joy by those who look upon Car- son’s aspirations with disfavor, and they claim it makes his further domination of party affairs here impossible. Carson, how- ever, asserts that the change in the mode of selecting delegates cannot possibly have any bad effect upon his chances, because, he declares, it will be as easy for him to carry primaries as to carry a convention, as his friends will be as loyal in one way as they have always been in the other. "A great many persons who have no espe- cial interest in the fortunes of any of the various candidates have been giving a considerable amount of serious thought to the question of how the proposed new or- der of things will work when placed in operation. There is no election law or rule in the District of Columbia to control party primaries. There is no provision for any safeguard to be thrown around the elections. So the question arises as to how the primaries will be managed and how a man can be prevented from voting early and often at each and every one of the various districts if he feels so inclined. There can be no penalty attached to such a proceeding, even if an individual is dis- covered following it. Another question which is being asked {1 who shall be the final judges of the returns from such primaries. The general impres- sion is that the three supervisors will at- tend to this matter alsc. Leaders of the anti-Carson faction open- ly claimed at the Arlington Hotel on the day the committee met that Carson's fol- lowers and supporters were represented by the crapshooting, saloon-loitering class of the colored people, and this assertion has caused a great deal of indignation among those of the race who have supported Perry through thick and thin, because they be- Neve he most truly represented their best interests. This sentiment is growing, and ‘s not confined to the alleged worthless element among the negroes, but is to be found in the colored churches and socie- ties, and, if primary elections are held, will undoubtedly find expression in various em- phatic ways when the voting is going on. A Multiplicity of Candidates. The multiplicity of candidafs ror St. Louis adds another perplexing feature to the situation. There are any number of espirants, all with a greater or less follow- ing, and it is expected there will be a num- ber of tickets in the primary field. First there is the Carson faction, composed of the very same people who have carried Carson on to victory in many a har fought battle. Opposed to them is a sub- stantial class of the party whose members think that Carson has had enough honor ard should make way for a new man. n, again, there is a large and influen- tial body of ns who would have lerg ago made their v heard in local party matters had they not known they would have been drowned by the strident yells of the heelers and hangers-on of the active political leaders, who have run things to suit them and jothing for ‘conse- quences. These republicans, among whom are business men, merchants and depart- ment clerks, are y considering whether it will not be possible by means of the primaries to take a decisive hand in the direction of party affairs here, and th’ ie sure their future management upon a basis of intel ence and common sense. It will be seen from the factors thus enumerated that the immediate po! ral future in the | District will be fraught with possibilities of uncommon interest. ‘The candidates who have thus far an- nounced themselves in connection with the St. Louis convention are confined to no color, section or particular party policy. Carson and Gleeson, Naturally, the two most prominent in the minds of the public just now are Perry Car- son and Andrew Gleeson. They have, up to the past six or eight months, been shoulder t6 shouldér In every local republican fight. But Damon and Pythias were destined to part company. Perry, it is stated, wanted an associate who Could visit the powers that be and secure favors long withheld. He did not consider Gleeson was not equal to this expected emergency, so he coreluded to cast about for some other running mate. Early in the summer, therefore, his uv went forth that it was no longer a ne sary tenet of faith in his followers to sup- port y Gleeson. Mr. Gle under these cireumstances appreciated, and the fight between the two began. Instantly a number of other indi- viduals, who had dtspaired of even getting a ghost of a show at a vote for a presi- dential candidate in a nominating conven- tion, perceived jn the breach thus created between the mi Carson and the hither- to omnipotent Gleeson an opportunity to assuage the thirst of their political ambi- tion, and thcy proceeded to scramble into | the field, careless of how sanguinary the ate consequences might be. ‘The anti- ‘arson element waged merry warfare for a few weeks and held meeting after meeting, with the results referred to abovw At every meeting, just as the specches against Carson were gro most eloquent, the subject of them would come riding up in a | creak and then would see Perry's big white hat. Then pandemonium would break loose. ‘Cap- tured by Carson” came to be a ing line in the city newspapers over meetings of this sort. There was a quiet consultation of t leaders of the various anti-Carson f; tions, and !t was agreed to stop the —!

The resolution passed by the national commit- tee was one effect of the new order of cam- paigning, and the other moves will shortly be made. There are, as has been said, many candidates in the field and variou: attempts are being made to form combina. tions between them. By unwritten law there must be one colored man in the Dis- trict representation at St. Louis. Co quentiy the anti-Carson faction is trying to arrange a ticket by which some strong and influential white republican and some colored man other than Carson, with a fol- lowing of substantial character, shall be put in the field and pushed through with a hurrah. Other Candidates Named. One favorite combination that was being whispered about some time ago contained the names of L. C. Bailey, a colored barber and banker, and Charles Ortlip, a contrac- tor. At the time this was first broached Mr. Ortlip had, it is said, the employment of all the workmen of Contractor E. Sax- ton under his control, and there was much enthusiasm in his behalf. This influence, it is now said, he no longer exerts, and thus his chances are not regarded as so good as they were. Mr. Bailey, on the other hand, is absolutely sure that he will be chosen one of the two reputdican dele- gates to St. Louis, and makes no secret of his confidence in thin regard. It is said he now has his eye on Mr. L. M. Saunders as a running mate. Milton M. Holland, the lawyer and barker, is another aspirant for convention honors, and so is Daniel Mur- ray, one of the assistant librarians of Con- gress. Robert H. Key, a saloon keeper in South Washington, has announced his candidacy, and H. A. Davis, the barber at the Oxford Hotel, is also in the race. Aaron Brad- shaw, who was chairman of the central re- publican committee, wants to go to St. Louis, ard, of course, Andrew Gleeson is a strong candidate. W. Calvim Chase has a lightning rod concealed in his high silk hat, hoping to attract compromise elec- tricity when the storm clouds begin to gather before the primaries, and there are others who have not yet made any great demonstration, but are preparing their ammunition for an early broadside. The new order of things regarding the primary election method of choosing dele- gates has given the great number of intelli- gent and well-to-do republicans here food for reflection as to what they may be able to do, and among these gevtiemen the name of ex-District Commissioner Myron M. Parker is most frequently mentioned as that of a good man to send to St. Louis. It is said of him that he bas always been a vigorous republican, who has contributed substantially to party success in many ways, and who would reflect great credit upon the District republicans in a national convention or snywhere else. Mr. Parker, it is known, would accept such an honor, but he would not indulge in any scramble for it, nor weuld he enter into any combi- nation with any of the other aspirants. The sentiment in his favor ts very rapidly grow- ing, and while it is too early for predic- tons, a great meny shrewd observers of local events do not hesitate to express the belief that the delegates to St. Louis from the District will be Myron M. Parker and Perry Carson. — A Notable St. Louis Wedding.
