Work Transacted by the Entertain- ment Committees Last Night—Hotel Headyuarters for Delegations. Tomorrow night the four sections of the Christian Endeavor chorus will hold their regular weekly rehearsal. For next week a change of night is announced. On ac- count of the Moody choir excursion to Bay Ridge Friday, the 19th instant, and because of the annual meeting and “elec- tion of officers of the District Christian Endeavor Union the evening of the same day, Chairman Clark of the music com- mittee has advanced next week's rehearsal from Friday to Wednesday evening, the 17th instant. : The four sections of the chorus will meet in the following churches tomorrow for rehearsai: Section A, Metropolitan Pres- byterian; section B, First Presbyterian; section C, Vermont Avenue Christian; sec- tion D, First Congregational. Some of the special anthem music which will be sung as solo numbers by the chorus during the convention sessions wili be practiced for the first time at tomorrow's rehearsal. Another hotel contract was closed yes- terday, the excursion manager for northeestern Pennsylvania engaging the Litchfield for his delegation. The head- quarters of the Pennsylvania delegation will be at the Oxford, but as this hotel is entirely inadequate for all Pennsylvanians who may uesire hotel accommodations rather than be quartered in private homes, additional quarters have been secured. The Philadelphia Union will occupy the Arling- ton and the Hamilton, the city unions of York and Harrisburg will be at the Clar- endon, and now northeastern Pennsyl- vania has completed its arrangements for stopping at the Litchfield. ‘The Entertainment Committees. A meeting of the entertainment com- mittees, both central and auxillary, was held last night in the Calvary Baptist Sunday school house, which was of great importance and well attended by the mem- bers. Reports from the various managers cf the several districts into which the city has been divided for the purpose of can- Vassing for accommodations disclosed the fact that quarters had been secured among the homes of the citizens for 20,00 visitors. While the cemmittee has been very ener- getic and active in its canvass, it was Fointed out last night that there is need for additional accommodations, and plans were discussed for a further house-to-house search for rooms, which will be at once begun. Simultaneously with the meeting of the entertainment committees, the central and auxiliary d2zorations committees discussed plans at a meeting, also held in the Calvary Baptist Sunday school house. Up to this time the decorations work has been largely preperatory and has been accomplished by the chairman and members of the central committee. But now the members of the auxillary committee will be called on to as. sist n securing from merchants and house holders an elaborate decoration of the city in both the business and residence sections. In addition to planning for this work, a number of other matters, including the vniforming of members of the convention committees and the decorating of church headquarters, were discussed. A Musicale. A musicale was given last night oy the members of the Christian Endeavor So- ciety of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church in the Sunday school room, with the result that about $200 was realized toward the church fund for entertaining the delegation from Connecticut to the July convention. Dr. F. J. Woodman, chairman of the social committee, had charge of the entertainment. Orly stand- ing 1com was to be had when the program was commenced, and even that was at a premium. Convention flags and other decorations were used free! add to the attractivencss of the occasion. The pro- gram consisted of vocal and instrumental solos, impersonations, ftations and flees, and some of th: 0 took ypart e Messrs. Miller, Embry “and Peirson, Mr. Degrain, Miss Hallman, Mrs. H. B. Hallifield, Mrs. Gereral Pickett, Prof. Shorts, Miss Gertrude Dana, Mr. Guy V. Coilins, Prof. Eisman, Miss Mar- garet Kuntz, Mr. J. Barton Miller and the Eastern High School Quartet.

A junior chorus rehearses every Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the First Congregational Church, under the direction of Mr. Perey S. Foster. The junior superintendents of the city are requested to bring as many children as possible to the rehearsal on Saturday afternoon, and all children in the city under sixteen years of age who play on musical instruments are invited to join the orchestra, which will rehearse at 4 p.m. on Saturday in Calvary Baptist Church, under the leadership of Miss Mat- tie Bartlett. A SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. Arranging for the Gathering to Be Held by Colored Workers. The Colored ¥. M. C. A. building, up- stairs, was crowded to the doors Tuesday evening with representatives and superin- tendents from every section of the Disirict of Columbia. Downstairs in the gym- nasium Prof. T. L. Furby was practicing a chorus, which occupied every seat in the spacious room. Great interest is manifest- ed among the colored churches of all de- nominations in the propesed convention, which is to listen to and discuss Sunday schoo! methods and elect two delegates, and two alternates to the Heston international convention. Messrs, Hamnfiton and Hagley, presidents, respectively, of the District aid Baytist Unions, are urging their schools to send Sunday school workers as delegates, and not to forget tha: the convention needs money. Several Sundsy schools have al ready “aid in their pro rata share of $2, and many have already seni a list of their cclegates to Mr. P. B. Bagiey, Y. M. C. A., on lith street northwest. ‘The first session of the convent'on will be held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street between 12th and 13th, northwest, Friday evening, at 7:30. The committee on arrangements have se- lected Mr. J. A. Hamilton as temporary pre dent. The welcome address of the con- tion wili be delivered by Rev. R. John- on, pastor; the response on behulf of S. unions by Dr. Frank J. Webb, and the i address by Rey. I. V. Bryant, im- mediately after which the convention will wet down to work. Tae Case of a Youthful Mother. George Washington, a colored newsboy, seventeen years old, was wanted in Judge Miller’s court yesterday to explain a state- ment made against him by Mary Lee, a colcred girl who is not yet fourteen years old. She fs a mother, and her three-weeks- oid infant, not much larger than a@ bar of soap, was in court on a petition that the child be turned over to the board of chil- dren's guardians. Mary said she had known George for about.a year, and charged that he was the father of her infant. She had named him after his father, as well as after the father of nis country, but now, she said, she does not know where he {s. Mary lives with her parents, and is unable to take care of the infant. “Where is the father of the child?’ the judge asked her. “I don’t know.’ “Well,” said Judge Miller, “I wish I had him here; I'd know what to do with him ‘The child was turned over to the egent of the board to be cared for, and the mother has released all claim to him, — Trustees’ sale of an unimproved lot in Hertford place, near 14th street extended, Mount Pleasant, takes place tomorrow af- : ternoon at 6 o'clock.

The remains of the late Capt. John G. Bourke, 3d S. Cavalry, were interred at Arlington yesterday afternoon. At about 1:30 several friends of the de- ceased assembled at the Pennsylvania s' tion, and when the 1:42 express arrived they met Mrs. Bourke, Mr. Paul Horbach, her brother, and Major Furey, U. 8. A., who had escorted their beloved dead from Philadelphia. To the people who saw the procession it passed up Pennsylvania avenue und beyond the city’s western lim- {ts the only indication of anything military was the flag which was draped over the hearse-carried casket; a condition entirely in accord with Captain Bourke's frequently expressed wish At Fort Myer, however, there was official cognizance of the burial. The colors that swung and snapped in the breeze were at half-staff, and in front of the eniisted men’s quarters veterans and recruits arose and stood respectfully at attention until the last carrriage rolled by. Within the cemetery grounds and on the eastern side of the newly made grave was a firing party from the garrison at Fort Myer, com- manded by Lieut. Walter Short, 6th Caval- ry, who served in Captain Bourke'’s troop during the Garza troubles on the Mexican berder. When the body had been lowered into the verdure-lined grave there was a brief religious service, conducted by the Rev. Father Richards, president of Georgetown College, after which the natty troopers fired the regulation three volleys. Then the trumpeter sounded “taps.” To nearly ell of those present the call was a familiar cne—some of them had heard it night after night for many years—but this time 1t had a new meaning; hearts were touched, lips quivered and tears came to eyes unused to weeping. While the grave was being filled and the sod laid, the sympathizing few, whom Capt. sod laid the mourning few, whom Captain the last, stood or sat around; most of them beneath the branches of a stately and vigorous oak, which will shade the spot from the western sun. Among the mourn- ers were Gen. T. H. Stanton, paymaster general of the army; Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Scranton, Mrs. Western, Mrs. Redman, Miss Redman, Mrs. Bennett, Miss Ella Loraine Dorsey, Major J. V. Furey, quar- termaster department, who was with Cap- ‘tain Bourke on General Crook's staff: Major C. F. Humphrey, quartermaster de- partment; Capt. Frank West, 6th Cavalry: Capt. R. Craig, Signal Corps; Capt. R. G. Carter, retired, who was roommate with Captain Bourke when they were cadets; Lieut. L. W. V. Kennon, 6th Infantr: Prof. Otis T. Mason, Prof. Thomas Wilson, David Fitzgerald, Frank W. Mack, E. M. Hood and Geo. H. Harries. On top of the sod was spread the flag— the colors which John G. Bourke had served so brilliantly and so faithfully for nearly forty years, and on the colors loving hands placed floral testimony to the affec- tion in which the memory of the dead war- rior and scientist is held. > FOLLOWERS OF FROEDEL. Interesting Commencement of the Normal Kindergarten {natitute. A highly appreciative audience, largely composed of ladies, assembled last evening at Hamline Church, 9th and P streets northwest, to witness the graduating ex- ercises incident to the nineteenth annual commencement of the Washington National Froebel Normal Kindergarten Institute. The exercises began with an organ re- eital, “Fantasia and March,” from Tann- hauser, Ly Dr. George W. Waiter. The in- vocation was by Rev. Dr. Ames, superin- tendent of the Deaconess Home, Rev. Hugh Johnston, pastor of Metropolitan M. E. Church, who had accepted an invita- tion to make the opening prayer, being unavoidably absent. A chorus, “Oh, Friend of Little Children,” was sung by the grad- uating class, with organ accompaniment ‘The verses contained touching allusions to the times of one hundred years ago. when Froebel instituted the Kindergarten methods, “Why TI Am a Kindergartener" was the title of an essay by Mrs. Antoinétte M. Ricketts. The most tmportant reason advanced by Mrs. Ricketts was that kin- dergarten work gave her opportunities for benefiting children with whom she might be brought into contact to a greater extent than she could obtain than by any other means. “Motion Plays,’’ in which the operation of a wind mill and the work of- the miller were illustrated, were very interesting, and were rendered by the graduating class. “Reflections of An Indian Girl’ was the theme selected for a paper, by Miss Salee taken kK. Oomasuyah, but as she had been very ili, her essay was read by Mrs. Martin Johns, one of ker classmates. “Illustrations of Froebel’s Mother Play were rendered by Miss Clara L. Tafel, as “the target; Mias Susan C. Baker, as “the little maiden and the stars;” Miss Mildred Saunders, as “the little artist;" Misa Beulah L. Sanderlin, as “the clock song,” and Miss Jane M. McKnew, as “the pigeon house.” Miss Mary C. Richards and Miss Rosalind Geddes gave “Answers to Six Questions From Chicago.” “A Path to the Higher Life’ was sung by Miss Mabel Morgan. ‘'The Boat Song,"’ one of Mrs. Louise Pollock’s poems, was rendered by the class. “Gleamings From Froebel’s Field of Thought” were presented by Mrs. Julia M. Johnson, Mrs. Anna Meade, Miss Lyde A. McDearmon and M:ss_ Matt Musselman. “How Can I Serve My Native Land?” a recitation and poem, by Mrs. Louise Pollock, were rendered by Mrs. K. Martin Johns and the members of the graduating class. After the reading of an essay, “The As- cent on lifes Ladder,” by Miss Amelia N. Mahr, Miss Susan P. Pollock deliverod the patting words. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. W. R. Stricklen, pre- vious to which, however, diplomas and cer- tiflcates were presented to the following: Post-graduates, Miss Amelia Nanita Maht and Miss Lily Johnston Taliaferro of Wash- ington, D. C.; Miss Salee Oomasuyah of In- dian Territory, and Miss Mabel Morgan of Maine; graduates, Miss Lyde McDear- mon of Tennessee, Miss Matilda Mussel- man of Pennsylvania, Miss May C. Rich- ards of New York, Mrs. Antoinette M. Ricketts of Illinois,’ Miss Beulah L. San- derlin, North Carolina; Miss Clara Tafel of Ontario, Canada; Miss Susan Chadich Baker, Miss Rosalind Geddes, 3 K. Martin Johns, Miss Julia M. Johnson, Mrs. Anna Meade, Miss Jeanette M. McKnew and Miss Mildred Saunders of Washington, D.C. The committee on reception was compos- ed of Messrs. Fred. Nichols, Bain Winslow, T. J. Taylor, George Felix Bunkert and Barry Mohun. SS A FATAL BLOW TO ART. Washington Architects Thus Char- acterize the Sherman Staine Award. President Robert Stead an Secretary Glenn Brown of the Washington Chapter, American Institute of Architects, have ad- dressed to Secretary Lamont, on behalf of the chapter, a letter In relation to the Sherman statue. The communication, among other things, says: “The action of tle committee in charge of the Sherman statue io be erected in Washington by inviting expert advice in the selection of the design was worthy of and received the highest praise fron edu- cated people interested in the improy ment of goyeriment art, and all artists, architects and art aesociations of the coun- tr: ‘The same committee by selecting a de- sign both for the second competition and adoption in no way approved by the ex- perts have struck a fatal blcw to the ad- ncement of art in this country. ‘The only way to obtain the best work is by inducing the foremost artists of the ceuntry to compete. “The only way to obtain such designs is by assuring the competitors cf a final se- lection by their pcers. “The action of the committee in charge of the Sherman competition throws a doubt on any future competition. no matter how enticing the program may be. “We feel that for the good of the elty, the present and future standing of art in this country, and the encouragement of the most capable men rendering service to the government, the committee should change their decision, or that Congress, which gives three-fourths of the money for this statue, should overrule their de- cision and have another selection made, based on expert advice. “We recommend in all future competi- tions that an expert committee shall be appointed to select the site, draw up the program, and make a final decision on the artistic merits of the statue, monument or building which is under consideration.” —_ 100 ft. boards, $1; any length you want.

There was another tragedy in Alexandria last night, caused by George Lamb shoot- ing and fatally wounded his bfother, Sam- uel Lamb, who is avnotorious character about town. The trouble started by Sam- uel, who had been drinking, going to the brewery of Robert Portner & Company, where George 1s employed as engineer. He first got into trouble with the watchman, Park Timberman, and while he was en- gaged in a heated argument his brother appeared on the scene and remonstrated with him. This seems to have angered Sam, who at once drew a knife and start- ed for his brother, who retreated. George, discovering the watchman’s pistol, got it and fired at his brother, but the bullet went wide of the mark. Another shot was fired, with the same result. Sam still continued to approach with the knife. George then fired three shots in quick succession, all three of which took effect. Just then Lieut. Smith appeared on the scene and found Sam lying down as if dead. He was re- moved to the infirmary, where he was at- tended by Dr. Marshall Jones, who found that one bullet had entered the neck, an- other the left arm, and the third had en- tered the breast just below the heart. The doctor said that he thought that the wounds were of such a nature that he would not recover. George Lamb, who has always borne a good reputation as a sober and industrious man, was arrested. At 9 o'clock this morning the wounded man was resting casy. Burned by a Wire. Charles Menkin, clerk for John Marshall & Compary, was quite badly burned on the throat by the falling of an electric wire yesterday morning. Charles was standing in front of the store watching the operation of changing the wires from one pole to another, when one of them crossed, and touching the trolley wire, hung down and struck him on the throat, nearly knocking him down. Quite a blister waz raised in consequence. : Mixcellancous. A called meeting of the Alexandria local branch of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew was held in the parish hall of St. Pau Church last night, and was well attended. Considerable business of importance was transacted. In a game of base ball played at Coloross grounds yesterday evening between the “Evening Stars’ and the ‘Virginias’ of this city the game was a well-contested one up until the fifth inning, when the “Virginias” stopped, for some reason un- known, and the game was given to the “Stars” by a score of 9 to 0. The battery for the Stars were Bright and Poss. ‘The funeral of Mr. Richard Rachford took place this morning. Miss Pattle Robins, who has been going to school at the Arlington Institute, in this city, for the past three years, leaves for her home, in Lestor Manor, King William county, Va., in the morning, she having graduated. Capt. K. Kemper left last night for Wilkesbarre, Pa., on legal business. The services at the Union Mission tent last night were conducted by Mr. Redding. They were, as u8ual, well attemted. A called meeiing of the Hydraulion Fire Company was held last night, and was well attended. Considerable business of import- ance was transacted. The commencement of the Arlington In- stitute, in this city, will take piace tonight. Messrs. Charles Didszoncit and Fred. Schoen went to Baltimore yesterday to at- tend the wedding of Mr. Schven’s sister, which took place last night. They will re- main some time on a visit to relatives. iw TROUBLE. He Wan Arreste@ tor Being -in Base RaTl 4vonnds. Seated in the dock in Judge Kimball's court this moraing was William Zeller, fifteen years old. He was scoted on a bench where there were old offenders of both colors, and had bee1 brevght wita them in the “Black Maria” frem the po- lice station. Hig treatment was similar to that of hardened criminals, when he had been arresied for no cause whetever. Sp2- cial Officer Davis, who does duty at the base ball grounds, arrested the little news- bey because he Jumped the fence, so he sald, and said “There’s a d—a old special.” The officer is on duty at the grounds to keep out those who manage to get in with- out paying the regular price, and it was because the boy was in near the 'W-cent bleachers that he was arrested. It was during the ninth inning that the alleged intruder was arrested, but he cenied that he was an Intruder. “I was selling papers,” said the boy, “and a policeman let me in the gate jusi about the time the game was over.” “What do you for your living?” Judge Kimball inquired. x “In the morning I take care of a horse and in the-evening I sell papers.” Judge Kimball promp:ly cismissed case and the boy went home. Mra. Brown's Muaicale. Mrs. Grace D. Brown gave a musicale at Sanders & Stayman’s music house last evening to a large and appreciative audience. The numbers were contributed by the pupils of Mrs. Brown, and the pro- gram was excellently rendered from start the the to finish. Those who took part were Miss Meta Altschu, Master Janvier Lind- say, Miss Dallas, Miss Bernhard, Miss Helen Mitchell, Miss Elsle DuFour, Miss Burns, Miss Crockette, Miss Onthank, Miss Florence Muir, Miss Lillian Grayson, Mas- ter Arthur Crist and Mr. John Gunnell. — Anniversary Celebration. ion Tent, No. 87, Independent Order of bites, celebrated thelr seventeenth anniversary at their hall, 314 8th northwest, last evening.

Allen’s Grand Opera House.—In the event that the case goes against Manager Buck- ley of the Grand Opera Houre, in which the point in question is whether Mr. Frederick Bond 1s to play at the National or at the Grand, a vaudeville show will be put on which will be up to the highest standard specialty circles. Manager Buckley has rented the Opera House for a period of ten weeks, and, if the case is decided so that Mr. Bond plays at the National, Mr. Buck- ley will make every endeavor to furnish the ery best vaudeville show for the people of Washington that it ts possible to put before the public. All of the artists this week have scored hits, except one or two who were cut the first night, and some of these will be retained next Week. Among the new ones, however, who will endeavor to please a Washington audience next week are Waas and Maddox, Ward and Curren, Walton and Mayon, Hadley and Hart, Mon- tague and West, the Tyrolean Troubadours and Magee and Crimmins. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The Lyceum Burlesque Company will begin its third week at Kernun's next Monday night, and the entertainment to be presented promises to be the best of the series. The nautical comic opera “Billie Taylor” will be the sub- ject for the burlesque, and this will be en- lvened with a number of special features, including a grand allegorical march and a new serles of up-to-date living pictures. The prominent characters will be assumed by Misses Kittle Rose, Dawn Griifih, El- vira Franchilli, Maude Harris, Ada Downie end Dora Parker, Messrs. Chas. De Forrest, Frank Mitchell, John Rapp and other fav. orites. The olio in the garden will be ex- ceptionally good and will include a number of really high-class artists, who will come direct from Proctor's Pleasure Palace, New York city, among whom are Tyrene and Evaline, the sensational novelty dancers: the Moore Sisters, character change artists: Bobby Murray, ‘the eccentric comedian, the Briiliant Quartet and others of note. For the Firemen’s Famlilies.—The benefit for the familtes of the firemen who lost their lives in the fire on Louisiana a last month was given last evening by Burnt Cork Club at Odd Fellows’ Hall. The performers, in their different turns, were heartily encored and the whole show was very creditable. The club was assisted by the Carroll Institute Or- chestra, while Mr. A. H. Black and Profs. Harry Hoskins and William Outes, under the direction of Prof. Hoskins. played the special music incident to the production, end also played for the dancing, which took place after the program was complete. ‘The original first part was put on by the club, including novel specialties, funny situ- ations and songs ,and concluding with the Iniation of two new members into the Order of Burnt Cork. The annual excursion of the Boston House Employes’ Rellef Association was given to Marshall Hall last evening on the steamer Macalester, and was one of the most successful undertakings ever partici- pated in by the organization. A large crowd went down with the employes, the store being closed at 5:30 to permit all to go who might wish. The friends of the members of the organization were very much in evidence. Dancing was the fea- ture of the trip, and the floor of the danc- ing pavilion was crowded to its utmost capacity at all times. The evening was de- lightful, and the trip was thoroughly en- Joyed by all who went down. For the past two years the association has had bad luck with the weather on its excursions, but the managers of last night's trip feel that they have been paid up for it by the weather which was ordered for them last evening. The association will have a neat sum to turn into the treasury as the proceeds of the trip. The Boston House Relief Asso- ciation is an organization of recognized merit, and nearly all of the employes of the great store belong to it. By means of the assessments which are made every time a member dies the sum of $100 is paid at cnce to the affilcted family, and a great deal of good has been done through its offices. The morning boats to River View today carried down a large number of people, bound for the outing place of the St. Aloysius Branch, No. 170, Catholic Knights of America, who give their annual family excursion to that resort today and this evening. Although a large crowd went down this morning and afternoon, it is ex- pected that the boat will be crowded this evening, and preparations have been made for one of the largest crowds yet taken down to that popular resort. The Pentz will leave this evening at 6:45 o'clock, and will leave River View at 10:30 on the r turn trip. —_—.__ TRAINED NURSES. Closing Exercises of the Columbia and Children's Hospitals School.
