St. John’s Boys to Take Their Annual Outing Next Week—Other Matters. ‘The annual outing of the St. John’s choir will commence next Tuesday, when they and their friends will go to Piney Point for a two.weeks’ stay. The boys go under the charge of their director, Mr. W. H. Daniel, and although there is ample opportunity for recreation, there is a fixed program for every dey during their stay. The choir will be accompanied this year by the Ce- cilian Lady Quartet and their director, Miss Katie V. Wilson; by Mr. Arthur D. Mayo, pianist, and about forty ladies and gentlemen friends of the members of the choir. These annual outings, which have been customary for several years, are look- ed forward to by the boys with great pleas- ure, and the boy who can’t go is to be pitied. Every day there is a short pro- gram of music, while their Fourth of July celebration is all that the most enthusias- tically patriotic youngster could wish. Sun- days there will be regular service, and in their singing, as at the musicales, the boys will be assisted by the adult musicians who will participate in the excursion. It is quite probable that there will be several side trips to points of interest in the vicini- ty, which will add to the pleasure of the occasion. Four American girls who were studying music in London have acquired quite a rep- utation, and are making money under an organization known as the Columbians. The quartet are Misses Nina Williams. Rita Lorton, Belle Brewster and Winifred Nightingale. They started their work as a matter of amusement for themselves and their friends, playing the banjo and man- dolin and singing negro plantation songs. Soon the excellence of their work became known to people outside their own circle of acquaintances, and they were in demand at drawing room entertainmen.s and then. for concert purposes. Their last triumph was to accompany Adelina Patti on a concert tcur through the provinces, and their suc- cess was pronounced everywhere they went. Their success is an illustration of What American ability, independence and perseverance can accomplish, even in a for- eign land and without managerical back- z. Mr. A. Tregina of this city has written a set of waltzes which he has named in hon- or of the Ad. Writcrs’ Club, the title page bearing the dedicatory inscription to Mr. Isaac Gans, president of the Washington Ad. Writers’ Club. ‘The waltz, comprising an introduction, three numbers and a coda, is full of five end dash, and has been splen- didly instrumented by Mr. Tregina for full orchestra ynd military band. It was vo- ciferously applauded by the members of the United States Marine Band on the oc- casion of its rehearsal by Prof. Fanciulil, who has promised to use it at the public concerts this summer. Mr. Tregina needs no introduction to the Washington public, by whom he is recognized as a master of musical composition, his orchestral works having been heard in every ball room and theater in Washingtcn for the past five years. His “Palmer's March” was played by every band of the hundred or more that were in attendance at the Grand Army en- campment in this city fcur years ago. The band accompaniments to the monster chor- us at the centennial of the laying of the corner stone at the Capitol were instru- mented by Mr. Tregina, and the incidental music which he wrote last year for the Robert Downing production of Sardou’s “Helena” won him high honor in nearly every city of the United States. His most successful work has been done in the field of choral writing, of which he wrote much for the services of the Catholic Church while director of the choir at St. Augus- tine’s. His hymn to the sacred heart, ded- {cated to Cardinal Satolli, has just’ been published by Droop & Sons. Mr. Tregina is also the author of the new “American National Anthem,” published by the Oliver Ditson Co. of Beston, which has already reached its second edition in less than three months, and which from its cordial reception by the public all over the United States promiees to entirely supersede the foreign airs which until now have served 8 national music. It should be a matter of pride to Washirgtonians if the accepted national air of this country should ema- nate from the rational capital, the work of her own citizens, Mr. Tregina and Mr. John Treanor, the author of the words. Mr. George J. Becker has just issued his new march, entitled “Win Mercer Two- Step.” This march is dedicated to Mr. Mercer and the Washington Base Ball Club and is bright and catchy. The lust services at Christ Church, Georgetown, prior to the ennual vacation of the bey choir will be sung tomorrow at 11 o'clock a.m. and 5:30 p.m. An elaborate Program hes been arranged for these ser- vices. The choir leaves Wednesday, July 8, for the homestead of Dr. R. P. Blakis- stone, at River Springs, M. for its sum- mer outing, returning July 17. This outing is an annual occurrence, being tendered by the church in acknowledgment of the val- ued services of the choir. The party will be in charge of Mr. James Watson, the choir master. —__.__ Society in Guatemala. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. “Life in Guatemala city to a foreigner, and especially a ycung man, possesses about as much attractiveness from a standpoint of amusement as would a resi- dence in a graveyard. There is absolutely nothing to do except work, sleep, and eat. The only place a man has to go when he has finished work,” said J. J. Pringle, son of the consul general to Guatemala from this country, “is to a saloon, and: there he has nothing to do for recre: nm but drink. The door to the best society is shut in the face of Americans—‘gringoes,’ as they are called by the haughty dons—no matter what their standing. Of course, when one has official dignity he is invited to the president's ball and other official functions, and has entree into society, but there is no such thing as social intercourse in its American sense. Nobody is allowed to see @ young lady unless it is in the presence of her entire family or under the watchful eye of her duenna, and there isn’t much pleasure in this kind of a visit to most young men of America. Guatemala city has a population of 80,000, but has no the- aters. There was an opera company of fair character there two years ago, but there have been no attractions at all of this kind during the past season. Living is very high in Guatemala city, and sala- ries are by no means correspondingly high. I would not advise any young man to go there with the idea of making his fortune. There has been too much immigration to the country as it is.” He Picks Up Pins. From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. A well-dressed man walking along Su- perlor street on Friday suddenly stopped and stooped down. Two men behind him just saved themselves from falling over his bent body and a passing woman shied to one side in sudden fright. Three boot- blacks sprang from the curb and a police- man moved forward with a suspicious glance. Then the man who caused the trouble straightened up with some glitter- ing object in his hand. “T've got it,” he said with a triumphant smile. And he held aloft a pin. “Seems silly, doesn't it?” he remarked to one of the men bchind him, as they fell into step. “But I've picked up pins ever since I was a boy. If I saw a pin and didn't pick it up, I felt uncomfortable for hours. Do I believe,in the old rhyme? You mean about picking it up and having good luck? Well, no; I can’t say that I do. The enly disaster I can remember in connec- tion with a via that 1 happened to pass by didn't prove anything. My neighbor's wife eloped -with the ccachman the same day, that’s all. But really and truly, the queer old superstition once saved my life. it was in New Orleans not long after the war and etreet rows were common. I was passing up the street one morning and right in front of a bank building, close up to the big plate glass window, I saw a pin on the sidewalk. I stooped suddenly to get It and at the same instant I heard a sharp explosion and a queer little crash and there exactly opposite where my head would have been if I hadn’t stopped, was a splintered hole in the plate glass’ win- dow, made by a rifie bullet. I got, the pin just the same and then jumped ‘for the nearest stairway. Since that happy es- capo 1 have picked up pins with an almost religious fervor. Ha, there's one now.” The Real Value of a watch depends upon the accuracy of the movement and not upon the price of the case.

From the New York Sunday Mercury The student of physiognomy will find many details of interest, if he will carefully note the faces of those with whom he is brought Into daily contact. So much has lately been written upon the subject that nothing would seem to be left ef novelty in the matter. Yet writers, while descanting upon traits of character revealed by the eyes, nose, mouth, chin, and even the teeth and wrinkles, are all silent on one point that seems to nave escaped the gen- eral epitomizing, and yet it is fraught with odd inconsistencies pregnant with interest. If you note or study carefully you will find that in nearly every face, if a line were drawn directly down through the center, the two halves would show marked differ- ences, Beginning with the waves or outline where the hair begins to grow, the line will vary, giving the forehead on either side of the face decidedly distinctive and contrast- ing characteristics, even adding, in some cases, a6 much as a half inch to the height of the forehead. Then take the eyebrows; in some faces the difference is ‘hardly perceptible, ye were the curves mathematically measu! a perceptible variation of the lincs would be ndticeable. A careful scrutiny of the eyes in many faces will result in the discovery that the right eye is often conspicuously larger than the left, and there will also be a perceptible difference in the slanting of the orbits. In fact, it is the eyes that the greatest differ- erce is apt to be found in. The drooping of the lids will also develop marked devia- tions from an exact drawing. Below the eye the under lids are even: more pro- nounced in the dissimilitude. Of the nose, one nostril is often a trifie larger, or will extend a trifie belo line that might be drawn straight across the face. The entire nose will often be found different on either side if carefully noted. But the mouth is decidedly the feature where the peculiarities are worthy of study. The drooping of the corners that often gives a sneering expression, or, as in some cases, where thc movements of the upper lip, on one side cf the mouth only when the person is speaking, is in direct contrast to the movement of the lips on the other side, This indicates an ursteady, unreliable na- ture, lacking both mental and moral force. The cheek on one side of the face will, in many instances, be more rounded than on the other, and the differences in the por!- tion and general contour of the ears are often startling. There resides in New York city a prom- inent society matron whore eyes are of dif- ferent colors, one being a dark blue and the other a dark grayish brown. When one first notices it the effect is uncanny. These differences of facial features are often too slight to be noticeable and do not mar the harmony of the face: in other cases they are etrikingly marked. That they exist is unquestionable, and the student of physiognomy will find in them an unexplored end interesting field for study. ——+0+-_____ Considered Himself Triflea With. From the Detroit Free Press. The man had assured the elderly lady who owned the suburban dwelling that he Was good at most anything in the way of chores, and that he was a mighty handy man to have around a place.

Many of the sayings and doings of the southern negro that find their way into print may be apocryphal, but enough are known to be true to make good his claim to humor. A gentleman discussing coon hunting relates an incident that illustrates this characteristic drollery. The party, consisting of hunters, dogs, [axes and torches galore, had been hunting for a good part of the night without any luck whatever. Finally the dogs treed a coon.
