Prof. Gates’ Ingenious Application of Scientific Principles to Cel- lular Stimulation. Prof. Eimer Gates, the psycho-physicist, has it removed to this city, where he is permanently establishing what Is to be known as “The Laboratory of Experimental Psychology.” This, it Is said, will be the most extensive institution In the world for studying the mind. It will be purely a benevolent institution supported by rich en- dowments from one or more wealthy Amer- icans. Prof. Gates proposes to pursue the scientific study of mind and the application vf the data obtained to the new system of brain-building and mind-using, discovered by himself. In outlining his future work he says that all living things, from the lowest micro- scopic organism up to man, will be subject- ed to research in his new laboratory. These experiments will be for the determination of the best methods of applying the sclence of mind to the art of getting more mind. will require many assistants and co- rators rfot only in the laboratory, but in ail paris of the world. No publications con- his studies wiil be tssued until the experiments have been submitted to eml- nent scientific men. Prof. Gates says that modern students of the mind make mary measurements of men omen and give results without con. th urrounding influences wh!+h minds to act; and measure fferent times. For instance, a common experiment is to cause a person to move a certain muscle upon being given a certain signal, By accurate recording in- struments it is learned show long before a is able to act after conceiving the and all other experi- ments must be considered the fact that the ‘son will not show the same results nperature, moisture or dryness, Static, potential, barometric his new laboratory Prof. Gates will these different effects.

Result of Special Training. - Prof. Gates says that Vivisection has hitherto been mostly employed by great students of the brain, who either cut away ith instruments or wash away with rapid ‘ater portions of the brains of liv- are ng. He prefers to place ant- mals under special training, in order to de- in faculties. After a time they killed, and their brains re- oved and compared with those of animals ed. Arrangements have been made to apply same study to human heings. Eleven well-known persons haye egreed to will their brains to the instityg@gn for post-mortem ex- aminaticn.

If these speakers spoke from the!r personal experienee, it is all right, but onal experience with him one night fied me he could get up a terribly good- of mad at times. “I was a boy at the time, and was a mes- tne present Western Union Telegraph. For al days there had been a number of rams for the President from army offi- s, and among them I remember two or three from General McClellan. I don’t re- member now why they did not come over the military telegraph lines. Well, one right I started over to the White House with a slegram that I knew came from Gen. Mc- ‘lan. It was for the President. n those days there was always a guard of soidiers stationed at the two. avenue as @lso at the other gates, but mes- boys were generally well known, and dmitted, day or night, without » at least to the front door, r soldier guard was also sta- There always an officer about the door, who r ted for telegrams.

Tell him also,’ and by this time the President was very mad, ‘that if he sends any more of my telegrams over to house I'll drive him away Mr. Stanton has enough tele- here, grams of his own,and should not have mine.’ m hough I wa erick, s but a boy,” said Mr, Fred- I could see that Mr. Lincoln was through, and that, for the t least, he was displeased with Ris ter, Secretary Sianton, and that n ended exactly what he said.

I don’t want them, and never did want them, about the ce. SS A Dog's Remarkable Instinct. From the London Daily News. A remarkable illustration of a dog’s in- telllgence has occurred in Sutton. A mar- lady there has a small pet, and on her removal to a London hospital, owing to ill heaith, the animal became greatly dis- tressed, running hither and thither in search of his mistress, to whom he was greatly attached. A week afterward the dog disappearsd, and two days later re- turned to its home footsore and weary. It subsequently transpired that the faith- ful terrier had found his way to the hos- pital where his mistress lay. No one guig- ed him, and he traveled the whole way sione. He waited about for hours, trying to gain admission, and finally, after many rebuffs, succeeded in running into the hos- pital and finding the bed where the lady ley. ith great delight he hailed her, and after satisfying himself that she was safe le trotted back to Sutton, about fourteen miles distant. = Large Number of Young People Interested in Stringed Instruments. The Choral Society’s Circular Appeal to Its Friends—Other Items of Interest. The good work done by the Washington String Orchestra at its last concert proved what is possible to be accomplished by a body of musicians by constant practice under intelligent direction. Washington has been fortunate in its instrumental organizations, particularly those composed of amateurs, who mect for mutual {m- provement as well as their love for music. Foremost among these ts the Georgetown Orchestra, which has had the longest term of existence, and which has had the most ambitious aims. It is still the leading body, ard under its new director, Prof. Anton Glcetzrer, is preparing for a concert toe be given immediately after Lent. The Wilhelmj Club, under the direction of Prof. Josef Kespar, has gained honor- able distinction for excellent work per- formed, and though its public appearances have not been so numerous as those of the Georgetown Orchestra, nor does it cover such a wide range of instruments, being essentially a string organization, tt con- tains some excellent performers, and as a body plays with fine discrimination. When Prof. Kaspar conducted the George- town Orchestra he used to join with it the Wilhelmj Club, so that at the concerts of the orchestra the players numbered about a hundred. The Weshirgton String Orchestra is the youngest of these organizations, being not quite two years old, but under the e getic leadership of Mr. Ernest Lent It has increased in membership and made rapid progress in its work, Next season it may be expected to show a creat advance and possitly other instruments that go to make up a complete orchestra may be added. A notable thing about all, these organiza- tions is the number of young girls who are devoting themseives to string instru- ments. Mcst of them play the violin, but fome have acquired proficiency upon the sweet-toned but awkward instrument, the ‘cello. These young g play with intel- ligence and precision and manifest really more devotion to their art than do the boys and young men. Mr. Gebest, the new organist of the Cal- vary Baptist Church, will be welcomed to the ranks of solo pianists in this city. His playing #t Miss Cluss’ recital proved him to be a thorough musictun, possessing an admirable technique, with the fa of in- tellignetly interpreting a compoger’s mean- ing. The Choral Society directors have fssui a circular to the friends of the orguniza- ticn, urgirg contributions to cancel the debt that he by its two con- certs this 2ssinh,” at Con vention Hail, mn and Delflal given at Aller’s G: debt amounts to % no resources to meet St. fers to these ¢ ter, and sa “The undertaking was spoken of hefore- hand by distin ed musicians of the ccuntry as ‘enterprising and couragcous.’ High-priced artists were engaged; a full symphony orchestra, comp in- struments rareiy keard and expe procure, employed; and the long and eful training of chorus parts was n the finished way in which they were surg. Since its rendition, Dr. Sherman and the board have received, both from the art- i who sang the solo parts and from mu- sicians of other cities w heard the per- fcrmance, hearty congratulations upon the success of both chorus and orchestra. “While the artistle success of both these corcerts has never been excelled by the so- ciety, the finarcial result fs not equally sratifying. Handicapped at the beginning of the season by the diversion of Conven- tion Hall to the uses of a skating rink, the sectety compelled to give ‘The Messiah’ in the week preceding Christmas, and on the same evening as a Boston Symphony Orchestra ecncert, or else abandon the an- nual performance of this work and possibly distand the society. Consequently this pop- ular oratorio, whose rendition usually brings the society a profit of several hun- Gred dollars, was-given at a loss of abovt $00, a result which hdd been anticipated. “Close following “The Messiah’ came the recent performance of ‘Samson and Dell- lah,’ to which we have alluded, and, al- though the Grand Opera House was well filled, the receipts fell very far short of the $1,600 which it cost to produce the work in a proper manner.” The directors beleve that the friends of the socicty will generously respond and pe out of the difficulty in which it finds tself. The new choir at the First Baptist Chureh js said to be giving satisfaction, and Mr. Cloward, the director, has arranged an elaborate service tomorrow, which will conclude the first month of the present ar- rangement. At the request of the pastor, Rev. Dr. Stakely, and the officers of the church, the choir will-empioy the first fif- teen minutes of the evening service, from 7:30 to 7:45, each Sunday for a praise ser- vice. Tomorrow morning the program will include * Be Not Afraid,” from “Elijah,” by the chorus; “Lord God Almighty,” by the quertet, consisting of Mrs. Gardner, Miss Yewell, Mr. Hensey and Mr. Cloward; “My Redeemer,” by Buck, and “From the Depth: by Mr. Cloward, and a solo by Mrs. McEwen. During the evening service the choir will sing “The Radiant Morn,” Woodward; Jubilate, Patten; “Thanks Be to God,” from “Elijah;’ “Father, From a Distant Land,"" Gade, Mr. Ernest and cho- rus;-solos by Mrs. Gardner and Miss Yew- ell, Mr. Percy Foster has resigned his position as organist of this church, and Mr. Claude Miller will hereafter play at the morning and Mr. John Porter Lawrence at the even- ing service. The proposed dates for the concerts of the Capital Glee Clnb and the Rubenstein Club will probably be changed. The first comes during the ltallan opera season, and there are many in tho club, as well as many of the friends of the members, who would like to hear the opera. The second date fixed falls on Good Friday, and that Is a night held sacred from amusements of all kinds by a large number of people. When the events do take place they will be enjoyable, for both organizations have reached a high degree of nerfection. Mrs. Alice Swain Hunter's last musicale at her studio, No. 1316 N street northwest, was an enjoyable affair. The instrumental part of the program was performed by pu- pils of her sister, Mrs. Joseph S. Thomas. Those who took part were Misses Casey Wright, Ethel Johnson, Ellinor Gadsden, Anzolette Gadsden, Lilian Miller, Florence Kaestner, Annie Uhbler, Susan Grice Young, Grace Perry, Mary Delaplaine, Elsie Snyder, Lueilie Perry, Harriette Galpin, Hattie Kaestner and Mrs. Jennie Brown. Composti- tions of Rhigini, Diabelll, Clementi, Abt, Geibel, Gouncd, Tours, Handel, Schubert, Rossini, Bemberg, Chopin, Mozart, Mer- cadente and Mendelssohn were rendered. It is understocd that the Hinrichs’ Opera Compary, that has been so successful in Philadelphia, will come to Allen’s Grand Opera: House during Easter week. Prof. Anton Gloetzner_ will give a musi- eale by his pupiis next Wednesday night, Mr. Leo Wheat entertained the veterans at Soldiers’ Home Thursday evening with his best piano selections, dialect songs, recitations and plantation medleys. He completely captured the old soldiers, and was applauded to the echo, and afterward there was a social reception and more music at Gen. Stanley's residence. Miss Bessie Mitchell will sing the offer- tory ‘tomorrow night at Christ. Church, Gecrgctown. Miss Mitchell is the possessor of a voice of much sweetness and power, and is at present the goloist of St. Stephen’s Church choir. and a selection by the male quartet. Renaissance of the Straight Choker in Slightly Modified Forma, | LAUNDRY LOSSES ARE LESSENED Pointed Toes in Footwear Gradu- ally Getting Blunt. THE CORDUROY VEST _The rich young man who does not have to ecunt his expenditures cares little about the Wear and tear of the laundry on such things as collars. He nearly always wears a new cne on occasions of dress, and then agai he tries every new style that comes out until he has enough collars to supply his valet and the butler and all the other male help below stairs and to equip the necks of a regiment beside. It makes no differ- ence to him whether ends are turned down and consequently cracked and broken in the polishing rollers of steam laundries or whether they are straight standing affairs, that invite no friction when passing through the mysteries of the modern wash. To the careful and cconomical man, how- ever, who ts fond of clean iinen, the expense of collars is an important item, and he re- sards it as a ‘ious matter when a frayed or broken collar rubs his neck till it looks as if he had the barber's itch. To such, and they all want to be in the procession so far le is concerned, the collar which Is now all ‘the rage has many attractions and the probabilities are that it will long remain in favor. Straight and Standing. The present style 1s the straii standing collar in severai varieties. It can te purchased with front silghtly higher than the back, with points that should be given the slightest sort of a bend when about to be put on. This style is particular- ly graceful, and is especially adapted to men with long necks and possessed of prominent protuberances, familiarly known as “Adam's apples." The points are high and cover this part of the neck, but are bent f sufficiently to take them out of the ‘ category The choker, however, that was so greatiy favored a dozen years ago and was then dc- serted for the collar with sq ends, is coming into vorue again solutely the thing with full dress. Ti Varieties are mostly in demand, but quarely turned collars are still popular y men who have thick, short necks and are stout of figure. Something About Shoes. With most men the other end of the’ body receives as much attention ag the one just treated, but, of course, to, be preperiy, dress- ed cx the objet of all who are careful and neat. The styles in shoes pre undergoing a gr but none the le cided @ toe is going out of favor, except wilh those who are proud of their narrow and delicate feet, shoe has ever crested the misery and suffering that the pointed tor hus, and It was ry, too.

And he would have walked erect and easily if he had enly gotten his pointed shoes a size longer than those he had form! worn. The round toe is superseding the points, but is still nearly too sharp for perfect comfort, if the wearers insist on calling for their steady sizes instead of instructing the clerk in the shoe shop to fit his feet. The new popular style in this varlety Is called the “opera,” and is a graceful article of foot- wear. In patent leathers it is almost un!- versaliy worn with afternoon dress—the long cutaway or frock coat end the rest of it. There is an abomination making head- way called the “French plain.” This shoe curves as if it were going to end in a semi- circle, and is then suddenly cut off square. Still, it is considered fashionable, es» cially in patent leather, and in. the north the Boston and other New England swells think it nobby. i Soles Are Benvier. In shoes for daily wear the sole 1s heavier and the whole article more solid in build than ever before. Russet and tan are still in general demand for morning and loung- ing wear, and black enamel leather is equally popular. Cork soles are more num- erous this year than formerly, but the favorite sole has an extended edge, making what used to be known as the Scotch sole with heavy stitching in thread almost as thick as wrapping twine. This sort of sole is also found in black leathet shoes, which are known to the trade as ‘College’ shoes, and are particularly affected by young men, They come in moderately sharp toes. ‘The Corduroy Vest. It has come to be generally recognized of late that a pair of black shoes should not be worn bya man who at the same time sports @ corduroy or leather vest, and con- sequently the acceptance of this fact is sufficientiy widespread to make it a dictum of fashion. : These vests, however, are much abused articles of apparel. They were simply in- tended in the place to afford more warmth than the ordinary waistcoat sup- plies. Observers who had worn bicycle sweaters, and found how comfortable they were, conceived the idea of having some- thing that could be worn with street clothes, and the thick vest was manufac- tured. Cordurcy happened to be selected as the material, and the style came In with .4 rush, As in all other styles which strike the fancy very strongly, the material soon became variegated, so to speak, and leather and close plush‘even are seen in such habiliments. These yests should never be worn with a black coat or trousers, no matter whether the coat ds long or tailless. They should be exclusively shown with coat and trousers of rough material; the soft felt or derby hat, and tan or russet shoes. ee ——_ a Across Continents by Dog Power.

Cozy Homes and Club Houses in De- railed Strect Cars. From the New York World. There is a curious community In this city, the members of which are very well shel- tered and manage to retain most of the com- forts of home in the sireets. These citizens liva in homes which cannot boast of any foundation, and are liable at any time to be moved about from one neighborhood to an- ether. These homes, which are, for the most part, exceedingly cozy, are retired street and railroad cars, that are allowed to stand on little-used sidetracks or which have hi drawn from the tracks altogether and stand upon some of the least traversed of New York's thoroughfares. There are more than a dozen of these scattered about the city. Most of these establishments have lost their identity. The architects who have re- modeled them have taken liberties with the eld orthodox arrangement of windows and doors. The first step in remodeling such a structure is to beard up most of the windows and convert what remains into a fe’ what wider apertures. One aspiri tect In the vicinity of 11th avenue and 30 street has gone so far as to add a bay dow. It is quite a common practice to derail a defunct street car at the terminus of a street car line to be used as a sert of clib house for car drivers and conductors. There is a club houte of this sort in successful opera- tion at the extreme end of the cable road on Amsterdam avenue, fitted up in a more or less luxtrious style. It stands about 190th street, surrounded by loncly woods and some, fine farming land. A superannuated freight car on 11th ave- nue above 25th street has done service for some time as a sort of receiving station und railroad office for that section of the city. The blank sides of the car have been riddled en all sides with doors and windows, and a skylight has been adéed to the roof.
