ITO DRILL FOR PRIZES Morton Cadets Will ompete in the Savannah Drill, Other Local Companies May Also Be ! Found in Line—The Arrange- ments for Contests. The announcement that Gen. Ordway had decided to permit all companies of the Dis- trict of Columbia National Guard so de- siring to leave the District for the purpose of participating in the Savannah interstate drill, May 11-16, inclusive, and the presence in the city yesterday of Lieut. W. G. Cann, representing the Military Interstate Asso- ciation of Savannah, has resulted in a widespread increase in enthusiasm as re- gards the drill proposition. The probability is that the drill will in- clude the manual of arms as provided in the regulations adopted in 1891, and not the latest regulations for the handling of the new army rifle. Several important points arese during the controversy yester- day between Lieut. Cann and the local com- pany commanders. In consequence, Lieut. Cann decided to return to Savannah at once, leaving last night, { i ing here for several days, as was hi ina: intention. It is hoped by Friday that an official statement will be issued by the drill management, providing for a raise in the amount of prize money, as to the pre- gulations to be folloy as regards as to the Galveston cup, sponsors of the comps mportant feature in connection ate drills. ng to Lieut.

As stated, it is a certainty that the Mor- ton Cadets will attend the drill, and to that end the company will work without cessa- tion with the determination to do or die, and, in the event that the Galveston cup is placed In competition, to bring that trophy back to Washington. The friends of the organization are preparing an enter- tainment to be held in Metzerott Hall Mon- day evening, April 20, the purpose being to Provide funds to defray the expense of the proposed trip and enable the company to go suitably uniformed and accoutered. Among the features will be an individual competi- tive drill for a gold medal, open to members of the regiment of High School Cadets. pes AMUSEMENTS. Boston Symphony Orchestra.—Although the Boston Symphony Orchestra Is always sure of a gocé attendance at its concerts, for it has a constant clientele that em- braces not only the professional and ama- teur musicians, but all who loye music as an art and a recreation, the audience at Metzerott Music Hall last night, on the oc- casion of its fifth and last concert this sea- scn, was unusually large. Every seat was filled, and nearly ail the available standing room was eccupied. It was a Wagner night, and Conductor Paur had made up a program composed entirely of selections ; from the works of the great German com- peser. In this Mr. Paur showed admirable judgment in choosing numbers that were not devoid of melody, and which were best adapted to the taste of an audience that Was not composed entirely of musicians. The program opened with the “Rienzie” overture, and the orchestral numbers that followed were the preludes to acts 1 and 3 ce inztom, and lots; Ot, “Lohengrin,” the “Siegfried idyl; 7, West Eektngtons $0, Jag | “Faust” overture, the prelude to “Die HE Wetldel et Ux to dames ©.

It is not alone in the mechanical execution that this orch tra stands at the head of all similar hodies in this country, but in its intelligent inter- pretation of the compesitions played. In a large sense, of course, this is due to master-reading of Conductor Paur, but he finds a prompt and sympathetic response in the force at his command. This was par- ticularly noticeable in the “Lohengr! fegfried” numbers, where the delicacy of the execution was’ exquisitely beautiful. The “Ride of theValkyries” was never given h more picturesque effectiveness, even this orchestra, and it was a fitting close to a progvam that was perh: enjoyable of the season. Mr. Ben Davies, the English tenor, was the soloist, and he sang the prize song from “Dle Meister- singer” and Sigmund's song from the first bers of the District Federation of Women's | act of “Die Walkure” very effectively.

Gericke had a great deal of fire and personal magnetism, and there are those who think that some of his read- ‘mgs and effects have not been surpassed. ‘Those who have attended the concerts of this orchestra year after year under all its conductors remember Mr. Gericke very kindly, and some think the orchestra made during es othe 0 a its histor an) ol rc ome a ry. Gerleke wes su led by Nikish, who put @ polish and a finish in work of the or- chestra that it had not known before, It was thought by some that Nikish was rath-| er finicky, that he was narrow in his ideas and apt to dwell too much upon small ef- fects, but there is no denying the fact that he did succeed in making iis men play more smoothly and with more artistic ef- fect. The preseat conductor, Mr. Emil Paur, has now, so far as this city is concerned, completed his second year at the head of the orchestra, arid he seems to be a decided 1m- provement over ell his predecessors. Of course he had an advantage over them in taking a force that had had the benefit of the training of three excellent conductors, but he has established a feeling between the players and himself that is one of perfect confidence in his ability as a director. Al- though educated in the German school, and with a natural predilection for its expon- erts, he is yet catholic in his taste, knowing that music in its best sense is not confined to ary school or nationality. His programs have all been enjoyable and calculated to please every phase of musical taste, and the work of the orchestra has shown a gradual improvement until now it can stand comparison with any body of equal numbers in the world. Mr. Paur does not propose to be satisfied with what has already been accomplished, but when he comes next sea- son will show that his men can do even better work than ever before. Watterson on Lincoln.—It is not sur- ing to learn that the best class of our ple are engaging seats for the Watter- son oration on Abraham Lincoln at the fayette Square Onera House next Sun- y evening. The distinguished editor and orator is a Washingten boy, and if all signs do not fail he will receive a warm and enthusiastic greeting from his many adiniri.g friends in this city. “A Woman of War.”—To the close and observant student the drama offers a deep ditions, We see by its great ex- of the past and on their masterly s can the progressive artist of the present moid a still greater s sur- rounded as he is by the e! stage and scenic of our ty Imirable Stuart we will be in- depted for forthcoming elaborate pro- ion of “A Woman of War.” In her irches for s iginal to present Stuart came from the pen Agnus, in which the heroie tenderness and courage, the trve womanly grace and sacrificing devo- lion of the women of the south during the s of '6165 were presented in a rm. To have the work dramatized to present it in the larger cities of the rerth to gain popular approval was the werk of months. Success crowned her ef- forts, and with It came the determination to demonstrate to the south of today what her daughters ofthose trying days were like, the risks they ran, the dangers they braved, the loyalty they displayed and the ordeal they underwent in their devotion to the use they believed was right. All these rm a series of stage pictures that will teuch every lover of his country, every patriot, every woman, tco, for in her is re- ‘ted the woman who braved all for love and country’s sake.

A new burlesque from the of Chas. Lovenburg, entitled “Robin H Jr.,"" will conclude one of the cleverest up-io-date programs ever pre nted on a vaudeville stage. An entire new series of living pictures culled from the finest works of art will also be a feature.

The entertainment will con- sist of Dr. Rogers’ now famous lecture on “Ben Hur,” which has attracted so much attention of late, and an enjoyable even- ing is assured all those who attend. Mr: Mary Davenport, the wife of port of Anacostia, is the president of the board of lady managers of the home, and the entertainment is given in order to al- low the board to make some additions to the facilities for taking care of the chil- dren.

Only once in the season is admis- sion charged to an entertainment by the club, and this will occur tomorrow night, The play to he presented takes in the entire strength of the club, and there is every reason to believe that the rendition of the comedy will be highly enjoyable. The Ger- man Dramatic Club is well known for the excellence of its ductions, and the one tomorrow night will be of even more thin the usual merit. An orchestra of twenty pieces has been secured to fill in the inter. missions between the acts. The cast will include Miss Anita Schade, Mrs. E. Wat- kins, Misses Clara and Elsa Ulke, Mr. W. H.

Many Unfortemates of This Class in * the P&tide Court This wMGening. There wes miiterfal enough in the Police Court today to‘furi#ish temperance orators with object lessons to last them many years. : In the cells this morning there were sev- eral men whose conditions were horrible in the extreme, ‘and had been made so by the excessive use of rum. Judge Kimball says that the use of rum in any quantity is excessive, and frequently tells those wno take time-limit pledges that if such a pledge is good for a short time it {s good for a life-time. All the victims agree that the judge’s ad- vice in this regard is good, and when in court they make good resolutions, but when they Bet outside they cvon fall by the way- side. Some of them, however, have been able to keep their promises, and d:d not for- get the court's kindness, but were after- ward in a position to thank the judge for his leniency. When Policeman Flynn reached the cell In which offenders against the minor ordi- nances were confined an elderly man, w.th white hair and beard, stood looking through the bars, awaiting the appearance of the officer and caterer with the coffee and rolls. Told the cup,” said the officer, passing a tin cup in between the bars. The man, who had lost all control over his nerves, was able only to press the cup against the bars. “There's nothing the matter with me,” he said, ‘xcept that I was full yesterday, and that's nothing, for I've been drunk b fore.’ Blood had clotted in his long beard, and had almost covered his face. How he had received the wound the old man did not know, ror did he appear to care much, for, with all his trouble, he was inclined to joke about what had happened, and oniy thought he would get full again when he got an opportunity to do so. Caterer Baker poured the coffee in the cup which the oki man held close to the bars, and several ineffectual attempts were made to lift it to his mouth, and finally one of the colored prisoners volunteered to help him, and with his assistance the nervous man managed to drink the hot cof- fee. Andrew Ague was the name he gave, and he says he is an old soldier and lives near Takom In the adjoining cell was his companion, Samuel Jackson, who also lives at Takoma, He came here from a distant city with the Coxey army, so the pol and he was very much worried at the thought of hav- ing to £0 before Judge Miller. Like his aged companion, Jackson was semewhat shaky, and blocd had been spill- ed in his fall from a wound on his nose. Andrew Guy had heen arrested with them, and his condition last night, was no better than that of his companions. He is also an old soldier, and bad $5 on him. When arrested he was not disorderly, and so he released this morning. The members af this trio of victims of intemperance were arrested last night by Policeman Stuerman. They were on Piney ranch road not-far from Brightwood, and were so much umvier the influence of liquor that they had been tumbling over the stones on the roa. and it was in this w. that they were wounded, “I_belong !n Montgomery county,” said jackson, “and how I got over the District line I don’t know.” A razor not in good condition was found on Jackson, and for this a charge of con- cealed weapons was preferred. No charge would have been preferred against the old man had he behaved him- sel{ after being placed under arrest, but there were ladies on the road on their way 4 home from the church at Brightwood, and the language he used was very shocking to them. In the sad condition stated the two men appeared before Judge Miller. In adat to the blood-sta s, their clot were coy and they explained as best they could the circumstances under Which they were arrested. “Ague met an old soldier friend from Virginia,” said Jackson, “and we went tp Woods’ and got to drinking.” “And what caused the trouble?” “We got drunk, and the old men got to talking polities and religion.’ Ague was questioned, and w nothing of what happ “Are you.a drinking man oT get drunk periodically cd. he said he ned last night. y"’ the old man aid that he had gotten the razor nd’s house, and was going to take it home, _Judge Miller sent for Lawy lives at Takoma, and he gave Jackson a pr Gould, who good reputaticn, and was very much sur- prised to find him in this sad plight. Sentence was suspended in the razor ease, and Mr. Gould paid a fine of $ in the diserderly case for him. The cld man was sent to the hospital for treatment. Another Example. Michael Lanbady, a man who had been in court many times before, because of his intemperate habits, was in this morning's procession. He ts nearly sixty years old, and is a veteran cf the late war, who might now be enjoying the privileges and luxuries of the Soldiers’ Home if it were not for his intemperance. Several years ago, after having lived a life of respectability, Mike fell from grace and appeared in court at long intervals for drunk and disorderly conduct on the public streets, and later his appearance became more frequent and the charges more serious. “Habitual drunkard" was the charge pre- ferred, and when he got so far down that money was scarce he hezged for rum, as well as for money, and anything else he could get. Not many months ago he made an effort to regain his place in society, and for several weeks he refrained from the use of liquor, but again he fell from grace, and now he is almost as bad as ever “Are you guilty or not guilty? seeeeeenneeeneeeoennntnnneeeenettnnas + ROYAL BAKING POWDER.
