MANY DISTINGUISHED VISITORS Arrangement of the Art Treasures Generally Approved. A MEMORABLE EVENT ‘The opening of the new Corcoran Gallery of Art last night was an event that wiil be memorable to every one -who enjoyed the pleasure of participating in it. Probably no institution devoted to aesthetic purposes was ever inaugurated in a manner more in harmony with its objects. The vast halls whose wals inclosed chaste conceptions of the chisel or striking creations of the brush held at the same time a living, breathing arimated assemblage of individual portraits that presented altogether a composite pic- ture of the national capital in which every phase of its remarkable life was depicted. ‘The representatives of the masses and the representatives of the classes, if such dis- tinctions are permissible; the clerk and the capitalist; the merchant and the millionaire; the man of labor and the man of leisure, each accompanied by his wife, his mother, his sistcr—or somebody else's sister—were all present and mingled in common appre- ciation of the inanimate beauties around them. “The Lady at Fontainbleau,’ that su- preme representation of the most exact aristocracy, and “Fun and Fright,” which depicts the other extreme of the social scale, were there on the walls, and so in the throrgs that paused in admiration be- fore them were the representatives also of the great whole people for whose instruc- tion, improvement, elevation and education the magnificent structure so appropriately opened last night was endowed and erected. Admission to the gallery was by card, each card admitting a gentleman and ladies, and from a survey of the assemblage at 10 o'clock it seemed as though every one of the 3,000 invitations issued had been taken advantage of by a man and at least two ladies. The intensely disagreeable weather apparently had no effect on the holders of the cards. Before 8 o'clock, the hour named for the doors to open, there were probably 200 people crowded under the canvas passage way from the curb on I7th street to the art gallery entrance, and as many more in the rain that beat down steadily outside. A Great Throng. The two hours from 8 to 10 saw a steady stream of visitors pouring through the broad doorway, and at the latter hour a line of carriages extended up 17th street to H, with the exception of the space across Pennsylvania avenue. These contained guests from dinner parties, teas and other functions uptown, which poured thelr at- tractive humanity into the gallery during the last hour. Almost every visitor signal- ized entrance to the building with an ex- clamation of surprise and admiration. The interior was bright with the luster of countless electric lights, lending a newer and more effective attraction to the nu- merous marbles and casts which occupy’ the lower floor on either side of the main entrance. Further progress through the building only served to heighten the good impression first received. The magnificent marble stairway that arises through the center of the building by easy stages to the picture galleries above was banked on either side with palms, rubber plants and other attractive foliage growths, and ar- ranged with an artistic taste that was well In keeping with the surroundings. Ad- muirable arrangements had been made in the northeast corner of the building for the comfort of the guests, large apart- ments having been arranged as retiring Ttooms and for the accommodation of the EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at $ a.m., 75th meridiac time.

They were received by the committee and escorted to the cloak rooms. Then the President, with Mr. 8. H. Kauffmann, chairman of the committee on reception, and Mrs. Cleveland, with Mr. C. C. Glover, made the tour of the gallery. The President and his wife had more to do than to simply enjoy the pictures and statues. Thousands of familiar faces greeted them at every turn, and they made | @ great many stops to speak with friends. Mrs. Cleveland made a handsome picture, upon which many eyes looked with ac- miration, as she stood on the turn in the grand staircase viewing the scene on the lower floor. She wore a becoming toilet of yellow brocade.. With President and Mrs. Cleveland came the cabinet, all the party having dined together at the home of the Secretary of the Interior. Secretary and Mrs. Olney, Secretary and Mrs. Car- lisle, Secretary and Mrs. Lamont, Post- master General and Mrs. Wilson, Secretary Francis enjoyed the inspection of the art and Miss Herbert and Secretary and Mrs. | treasures. Naturally the portraits of Sec- retary Olney, Secretary Lamont and Presi- dent-elect McKinley came in for a double share of attention. Sir Julian Pauncefote, whose portrait is wraps and coats of ladies and gentlemen. On the second floor at the head of the main staircase were the trustees of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, acting as a reception com- mittee. They were Mr. S. H. Kauffmann, Judge Walter S. Cox, Mr. Fred. B. Mc- Guire, Mr. Charles C. Glover, Mr. Calderon Carhsle. Mr. Matthew W. Galt, Mr. Ed- ward Clark, Mr. Thomas Hyde and Mr. William Corcoran Eustis. These gentl men were kept busy, and it may be truth- fully said blushing by the continuous com- pliments showered upon them from the ap- preciative guests. This was not in the least surprising, when it was well known to every one that the existence of the mag- nificent temple of art was due to their wise management, untiring energy and splendid enterprise. During the evening the Marine Bard, under Prof. Fanciulll, played many beautiful selections. The scarlet-uniformed company of musicians, stationed in the lower hall south of the main entrance, and the vivid colors of their coats and the re- spiendent gleam of their instruments, ed the artistic effects to no incon- degree. The railing in the gallery above surrounding the space occupied by the band was adorned all the evening with clusters of pretty women and good-looking men, leaning over listening to the music. ‘The Presidential Party.

Wilberforce; the French ambassador, whose portrait has also a con- spicuous position, and Mrs. Patenotre, the Spanish minister and Mrs. Dupuy de Lome, and members of the Chinese legation were other distinguished guests. Both congressional and residential society circles’ were so well represented in the throngs that it would be hard to mention a notable absentee. Approved by Visitors. The crowd saw everything that was to be seer in the magnificent structure, and general approval was expressed by those who are familiar with the Corcoran Gal- lery treasures at the taste displayed in their arrangement. The additional room available for the display of the casts and Statuaty adds greatly to their attractive- ness and gives opportunity for studying and appreciating their beauties, not ob- tainable in the restricted quarters which they occupied in the old gallery. The slight defects in the light, which were noticeable last night, was due to the weakness of the electric current, a fault that is being reme- died and will not exist in future. The throngs renewed their acquaintance with their old friends in their new home with every manifestation of pleasure, and the new features, so abundant and attrac- tive, were paid admiring homage. Particu- larly favored in this regard were the por- traits of well-known people. The almost photographic pictures of Secretary Olney and Senator Brice, by Hubert Vos, were the subject cf most complimentary comment, and were justly regarded as remarkable by all who viewed them. The portraits of Secretary Lamont, Sir Julian Pauncefote, Senator McMillan, Mrs. Hardee and Ada Rehan were likewise highly admired. To continue individualizing the various attractions that commanded the tributes of the throngs, however, would necessitate almost the complete publication of the art liery catalogue. Suffice it to say that the ening was one of unalloyed enjoyment to the thousands present while they were in the gallery, and it is doubtful even if the drenching that nearly everybody received going out on their way home caused a re- gret for having attended the pleasures so far outstripping the discomforts occasioned by the weather. —_— Mr. Ball Worse. Mr. Robert Ball, the well-known crier of the District Supreme Court, who has heen ill for the past week or so, was repo7ted today as being somewhat weaker.

EXERCISES AT THE OPERA HOUSE Stirring Speech Delivered by Major General Miles. OTHER PROGRAMS The pupils of the public schools of the city were a day late in celebrating Wash- ington’s birthday this afternoon, but the extra amount of patriotism secured yes- terday and brought over was fruitful of pleasant results all over the city. The board of trade is to be congratulated on the cutcome. The entire program was ar- ranged by it. The students went away from- the exercises in their respective schools delighted and more impressed than ever with the fact that the father of his country was a fit man to emulate in all things. The programs of the schools printed in yesterday's Star were carried out with few changes. The leading meeting of the day was at the Grand Opera House, which was filled with the pupils of the smatler schools of the city. President S. W. Wood- ward of the board cf trade presided, and, after appropriate remarks, introduced Com- missioner Ross as the first speaker. Mr. Ross held the little ones spellbound. He talked to them in a manner that could be understood. The next event on the pro- gram was a stirring patriotic recitation by John Tweedale. Gen. Nelson A. Miles made the last speech of the day. He was attentively listencd to by the youngsters. The Marine Band discoursed at intervals. Gen. Miles’ Address. Gen. Miles said: “The government of these United States has very properly dedi- cated the 22d day of February to the mem- ory of the father of his country, and made his birthday a public holiday, in order that it might be duly celebrated by those who love the name, who revere his memory, bless the cause, and who are devoted to the principles for which he gave his best pa and the services of his life to es- ‘Fortunate are the children of this city in being reared under the best influences of enlightened civilization, amid the monu- ments erected to valor, patriotism and humanity. “We could not in all this wide world find a place where the environments of youth are more beneficent than in this national capital, or where there are better advan- tages for acquiring the best education. I trust you will all appreciate it in the high- est degree, and take every advantage of the blessed privileges you enjoy. While you may not all aspire to the highest posi- lions of honor and responsibility, yet every one may nourish the ambition to be as up- right and honorable and as patriotic as was the father of his country in his youth and manhood. “You are enjoying better advantages for education than Washington enjoyed during his time. As he was the author of his own career, blocked out his own destiny and «sy by day contributed not cnly to his own well being as a man and a citizen, but also to the welfare of his country and humanity, So you can govern and control your own actions and dictate your own destinies. in the broadest and highest sense you can cultivate and promote the true and noble spirit of patriotism. You can be equally honest, earnest and zealous in every good and generous work in which you are en- geged, as was the father of his country. “Fortunate ure the youth of this country in having such an exemplar. The charac- ter of Washington has stood the crucial test of a hundred years of careful examin- ation and criticism. It stands forth today in all {ts grandeur, purity, nobility and generosity to illumine the pages of his- tory, a beacon light and bow of promise for the humanity of the world. In youth most enterprising and fearless; in domestic life the most refined and gentle, always a gen- tleman; in civil affairs the master mind— a statesman of the highest order, wise and sagacious. In war he organized from the pioneers and woodmen from the fields and forests into an invincible army, and com- manded it successfully against the strong- est military nation of the world. In all that constitutes true manhood and nobility of character he towered above all others, the best type of an American citizen—the best-rounded soldier, statesman and patriot thai ever walked the earth. “The liberal civil governments with which the people are blest along the line of the western hemisphere, and in the very heart of Europe, are to a great extent the result of the enlightened thought and patriotism of Washington and his compatriots. Wrds fail in any effort to eulogize the name of Washington. The civil, humane, liberal governments of the world, speak the eu- logy that should be ascribed to that name. The blessings that are now enjoyed by sev- enty millions of intelligent free people of this country sing his praises. This most Leautiful capital of the world is graced by his name. That most chaste and grandest ef all monuments towers to the sky to em- phasize the purity and nobility of Washing- ton. “No more fitting eulogy could be given to language than was expressed by that pa- triot and martyr, second only to Wasrh- irgton himself, when in 1842 he had, witn others, assembled like ourselves today to celebrate this birthday, speaking ‘on the father of his country,’ and referring to his name, Abraham Lincoln used these words: ‘The name of Washington Is the mightiest name on earth. Long since the mightiest name in the cause of civil hb- erty. Still the mightiest name in moral reformation. On that name a eulogy is expected. It cannot be. To add bright- ness to the sun or glory to the name of Washington is alike impossible. Let no one attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name and in its naked, deathless splen- dor leave it shining on.” The High Schools. At the Western High School the exercises were simple and impressive. The entire school assembled in the large lecture room on the top floor, and opened the exercises by singing “America.” Col. H. F. Blount presided and made a short address, in which he introduced the speaker for the occasion, Rev. Dr. Thomas 8. Childs. The entire school sang the patriotic hymn of Francis Scott Key, “The Star Spangled Dunner.” Dr. Childs delivered an inspir- ing and eloquent address, In which he spoke of the immortal Washington In the various stages of life. The students attentively lis- tened to and enjoyed his remarks. The “Battle Hymn of the Republic” was next sung, with Miss McCullough as the soloist, the school joining in the chorus. Jesse H. Wilson, a member of the board of school trustees from that division, made a short address, The exercises closed with the singing of “Hail Columbia.” AE the Central High School, Prof. Percy Hughes, principal, John Joy Edson presided and made a short talk in opening the exer- cises. Senator-elect George L. Wellington was the speaker of the day. He was given clcse attention by the students. ~ Beyon? the singirg of the “Star Spangled Banner’ there was nothing else on “America,” by the school; Dodge, board of trade, address; ‘“‘Wash- Farewell Address,” Miss McMil- “Washington the Statesman,” Miss “Washington. encanta Miss ugbee; “Washington the ir,” Miss Fawcett; ‘‘Washington’s Impress on Wash- ington City,” Seaver; “Mount Ver- non,” a sey Mr. bey presiding offi- cer, concluding remarks.

Owing to lack of accommo- dation for a large assemblage of children the grades below the sixth had appropriate celebrations in their own school rooms. The Taylor School. W. J. Frizzell, in his speech at the Taylor School, told his hearers something of the history of Washington. Talking of educa- tional work in this city, Mr. Frizzell said that it was within his recollection when there were no public schools here. Now there are 50,900 bright girls and boys at- tending the schools. The speaker said that the prospect is fair for an appropriation from Congress of enough money to estab- lish kindergerten and manuel training schools. In conclusion he said: “With all these advantages you, my young friends, should excel the pupils of the public schools of any other city, and study hari and strive to make necessary the one great object that Gen. Washing- ton held nearcst his heart, especially dur- ing his later years, the founding of a great national university by the United States government here in this capital city, where talented and ambitious of small means can have equal opportunity with the ri¢h in reaching the highest realms of knowledge. Then will the great day dream of Pater Patria be fulfilled and the golden seal of his great wisdom be stamped upon this great n-etropolis, attracting hither the affections of all the and encircling them as: with a wedding ring of endiess purity and love.” The Jones School. Dr. F, J.

But we must not be lacking in loyalty, for i is not the country that maltreats us. History points to race persecution far greater than what we are compelled to undergo. The Jews have been persecuted everywhere, and yet we see how powerful they are. “As e race they are clannish and co- operate in building up great enterprises, hence they are rich, and money is power in America.
