THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY; JUNE: 17, 1896-TWELVE PAGES, FROM OUR FACTORY 1,500 $1o—S12—and $15 men’s suits—and you may have your choice of them all for $7.50. Washington has never seen a sale like this—it’s the most complete and merciless sacrifice we have ever been compelled to make this early in the season. They are duplicate orders on some of our best selling style —goods that we had made up for June trade—and have just come in from our factory. But June has been cold and rainy—we are disappointed—and this sale is a dire necessity. The season is too far advanced to go about it in a half-hearted way—we want to get them out as quickly as possible—so we have cut the prices deep and clean. Half of ’em are plain blue and black serges. You couldn't desire anythin for $10—$12—or $15. g better if you were paying full price—and there isn’t a suit in the entire lot that hasn’t been selling Every price is marked in plain figures—no “pigtin-the-poke” business here—you can see exactly what you're buying. Come early—we have prepared for a big rush—and we think we have enough extra salesmen to wait on you all promptly. Remember!—Every suit was made by us—and bears our guarantee—and you can have your money back if you want it. Look in our window. SEMAN BROS. ) COR. 7TH AND E STS. N.W. .

They Are Numerous and Active in This City. Bicycle thieves have been unusually active during the past few months, and ttis the police think is the result of the Dieycle craze. The bicycle thefts have averaged about three or four a week, and Detective Boardman, who is known as the bicycle detective, has been unusually fortunate in rccovering most of the stolen bikes. These thefts are not confined to any particular class of thieves, althougn there has not yet been a bicycle theft committed by a female. In many cases where bicycle thefts are reported {t turns out the wheels have only been borrowed without permission, and are then aban- doned on the street. “They are taken by people who have the craze and who are not able to pur- chase wheels,” said an officer talking of the thefts to a Star reporter. Then there are some persons wio steal wheels and take the risk of riding taem abcut the city, while others ship them to other cities and sell them. Only a few days ago two bicycles were stolen and parts of two wheels were put together and one wheel made of them. This was done to prevent identification, but the scheme did not work, for the parts were fdenti- tied and other parts of the wheels were recovered. The officers find it rather diflicult at times to punish offenders of this kind un- less the offender be some poor fellow who is without funds or friends. In the Po- lice Court, where the charge is petit lar- ceny; there is no trouble in getting jail sentences imposed, but in the Criminal Ccurt the officers say the sentences im- posed when the chargs is grand larceny are very light, as a rule, and some of the offenders are released without being sen- tenced. Because of the cheapness of so many wheels it is seldom that the charge of grand larceny can be preferred, as the law requires the value of the article to be $35 in order to make the offense grand larceny. An effort will be made next winter to have a special act covering this offense, the same as in the case of horse stealing. An act of this kind would make the theft of any bicycle a penitentiary offense. —_—>__ Miss Johnston at Frederick. “Miss Elizabeth Bryant Johnston delivered her lecture on “Washington and His Por- traits” to a fine audience in the Opera House at Frederick, Md., on Monday even- irg. The proceeds were given to the “Key monument fund.” The memorial service at Key’s grave on Flag day is annually celebrated, and has become a sacred duty with the citizens of Frederick. On this occasion the exercises were especially interesting, and coi ited of the unfurling of a handsome new flag from the permanent flagstaff, the singing of a patriotic hymn, composed by K of the “Star Spangled Banner,” an to the Flag” and an address, followed by the strewing of flowers upon the graves of Key and his wife. —_—>._—_.

CARPENTERS AND COOKS, Hoys and Girls at Mt hibit Their Skill. Mount Pleasant and Holmead Manor, and all the region round about those two sub- urban centers, that are practically one, made appearance last night at the Johnson School building. From 6 o'clock until a late hour there was an unbroken stream of visitors entering and retiring, Parents were in @ majority, but there was a lively leaven of young folks. The occasion was the firat exhibition of the manual training and cooking departments of the Johnson Pleasant Ex- School, Fach department had a roomful of interesting testimony to ite efficiency, and there did not seem to be any end to the complimentary remarks of the observant multitude. The manual training shop—which was flag-decorated—contained the work done by the boys during the school year which closes today, and it also had in it the at- tractive spectacle of a class of bright-fazed, nimble-fingered boys working at their benches just as they are ac ustomed to work when they have no audience. The juvenile carpenters measured and planed and sawed and hammered, and did what they bad to do in if to the delight of the onlookers and to the satisfaction of their instructor, Mr. Fred. L. Harries. The products that attracted especial attention were the crokonole board made for the Franklin School exhibit by two sixth-grade boys—Alan Brannigan and Ralph Bowman, aged, respectively, four- teen and twelve years—and two fancy ta- bles with inlaid checkerboard tops, :on- structed by Howard Holmes of the Mott School. ‘The work done by a class of school teach- erg was closely scrutinized and commended: it Indicated the approach of an era when a woman may be able to drive a carpet tack without serious injury to either the ham- mer or her thumb and when, perhaps, she will be fitted to do the many little odd jobs asound the house which are now saved for the hushand’x home-comin The cooking schgg} exhibit was interest- ing and popular. ah: lis were in the business up to their elbows, under the per- Sonal direction of Mrs. Burns, who daily demonstrates the feasibility of construct- ing home-made bread that will support and not endanger human life. All the girls looked their prettiest and did their best; the delicactes they prepared were disposed of with appreciated rapidity by appreciative People. ‘The decoration of the rooms was dc widedly artistic, and the whole affair was thorough- ly satisfactory throughout. Miss Kate Brewer, princtpal of the building, was the pleased recipient of well-earned congratu- lations on the success of the first exhibition. ACADEMY OF THE SAC! “D HEART.

Am Attractive Program Presented and an Address by Cardinal Satolli. The commencement exercises of the Academy of the Holy Cross were held yesterday afternoon at the Lafayette Square Opera House in the presence of an enthusiastic audience, which filled every seat in the house. The pupils and friends of the academy were specially gratified by the presence of Cardinal Sa- tolll, who has been repeatedly entertained | a == by the young ladies and little girls of the school, and took particular delight in the opportunity afforded of being with them again. He occupied a box on the right of the stage, which was handsomely draped with the national colors and hang- ings of bright crimson. With him were Rev. Dr. Rooker, his secretary, and other clergymen. Rev. Thos. S Lee, rector of St. Matthew's, with Rev. Father Bart and Rev. Father Rennolds, his assistants, Dr. Garrigan, Fathers Dougherty, Gillespie, Dolan and Dr. Pace and ether clergymen were also present. The Program. From the entrance of the pupils to their last appearance fn the well varied program the attention of all was riveted on the stage, The entrance march was played by Misses Naomi Keleher, Mary O'Donnell and Mary and Agnes McGrath. It was the procession march from Gounod's “Reine de Saba.” The procession, with ‘ts serles of graceful evolutions, made a pret- ty scene, The vocal class, the Misses Berberich, Bland, Burnside, Collin: Cooney, Dolan, Evans, G, and E. Fowle' Green, E. and N. Keleher, Lee, McGrath, Moreland, Pennell, Simali, and Widdecambe, sang from “Lucrezia Borgia.” Miss Ethel Hendershott delivered the salutatory in most pleasing style, and was followed by a piano duet by the Misses May Holtzman and Ethel Howard. A semi-chorus by Misses Moreland, Berberich, G. and E. Fowler, E. and N. Keleher, Green and Evans was then given. Miss Helen Toumey had an enviable part in her charmingly worded and gracefully deliv- ered address to Cardinal Satolli, who at its conclusion bowed his thanks to the speaker, The rendition of a pretty litule Operetta, “The Forest Queen,” participated in by the juniors and minims, was nat- urally the most attractive feature. The Special parts were taken by Misses G. Do- jan, Toumey, Egan, Plant, Atchtson, Davis and Berberich, with Miss E. Fowler as the Forest Queen. Her subjects, the forest maidens and the pretty little fairies and angels, grouped about the queen in the last tableau, made a charming picture of youthful innocence and grace, and re- ceived rounds of applause. A violin and piano duet by Misses Eva and Naomi Kel- eher, a sleigh bell chorus by the Misses Howerd, Walsh, Ferry and Howison were other pleasing selections. Bt. Angela's Circle, mandolin and guitar performers, composed of the Misses 1. Duffy, R. Hen- dershott, Howard, Verry, K. Toumey, Wid- decombe, Walsh, A. Duffy, Howlson, Plant, Shea, L. and M.

The closing number wag an overture from “Fest,” rendered by Misses Collins, Toumey, Moreland and Ber- berich, after which Cardinal Satolll, ac- companied by Father Dougherty of St. Augustine's, appeared on the stage. Phe latter, acting as interpreter for the cardi- nal, made an address, which expressed his ratification at being present and his high “ppreciation of the work done by the Sis- isa ef the Hel, Cross in the cause of eduy- éation Is this country. He did not doubt that the state did much for education, but the best was attained when alded by relig- fon and where religion had done her own part. He quoted on this point the recent utterances of President Cleyeland as to the necessity of Christian eacation His thanks to the pupils for the pleasure given by their performance and his words of farewell were gracefully expressed.
