Boston Instrumental Club Ooncert.—The Boston Instrumental Club, consisting of members of the Boston Symphony Orches- tra, assisted by Mrs. Frank A. Gardner, soprano, entertained a large audience at the Columbia Theater yesterday afternoon with a ccncert in aid of the National Ho- meopathic Hospital. Friends of the hos- pital and those interested in the higher order of music responded generously, ard as a result the hospital is today much bet- ter off financially. The affair was also a gratifying social success, among those oc- cuping boxes and orchestra chairs being fences many persons prominent in social fe. Mrs. Gardner was on the program for two numbers, but determined encores re- quired the singing of as many more. Pos- sessing an attractive personality and man- ner, as well as a clear and well-trained, though not powerful, voice, Mrs. Gardner had no difficulty in at once winning a high place in the regard of her auditors. Mrs. Gardner sang Luckstone’s waltz song, ‘“‘De- light,” Gounod’s “‘’Tis Not Always May,” and “‘Belraggio,” from “Semiramide.” Each time she appeared on the stage she was fairly loaded down with floral rewards. The members of the club are Mr. W. W. Swornborne, conductor; Mr. Daniel Kuntz, violin; Mr. F. E. Schuchmann, violin; Mr. E. B. Marble, viola; Mr. Rudolph Nagel, ’cel- lo; Mr. E. Golde, bass; Mr. G. B. Van Santvoord, flute; Mr. C. L. Staats, clari- net; Mr. F. C. Muller, oboe; Mr. Pierre Muller, trumpet; Mr. H. Lorbeer, horn; M. C. Schumann, horn. The numbers were Rossini's overture, “Italians in Algiers; Gounod’s entracte, “Philemon et Baucis;" a selection from Wagner's “Lohengrin;” a double number, “The Shepherd's Dance” and “The Morris Dance,” from German's “Henry VIII;” Langey’s “Canzonetta,” “Felice;” and ‘a selection from Punchielli’s “La Gioconda.” It is needless to say that all were executed in a manner thoroughly artistic, and each was fully appreciated by the audience. Witt's “Sonntageruhe” for string quartet was particularly pleasing, as was Doppler's duet for flute and horn, “Souvenir de Rigi, by Messrs. Van Santvoord and Lorbeer. The Biograph.—The exhibitions at Willara Hall of the Biograph continue to attract Irest appreciative audiences. The Biograph has developed into a genuine instructo For the past two weeks there has been irereased interest upon the part of educ: tors to witness the realistic views shown by the wonderful invention. The new vie the inauguration of President McKinley are proving to be exceedingly poputar. They are doubly interesting because they are the exact reproductions of scenes which thousands of the citizens of Washington witnessed, and the fidelity of the Biograph to make a truthful record of passing events naturally stimulates local interest in the instructive entertainment. Many of the schools and churches have become so interested in the exhibition that a number of special benefits h. been ar- ranged. On Saturday next the Ladies’ Aid Society of the First Congregational Chure! + their initial benefit. During the remainder of the time the Biograph r. mains in Washington many new views wiil be added, making an entire change in the number. There are some views, however, which do not grow old; but, upon the cor trary, increase in popular fayor the more frequently they are seen. ‘The ances will continue, as usual. at and 8:15 p.m. The Crystal Maze.—The Crystal Maze at 427 7th street northwest is now in its sixth week of continued success. The manag ment, however, in consequence of prev ously made contracts, will have to leave Washington shortly, and those who would like to see this funny and unique place would do well to go at once, because there may not be another opportunity. The Maze was crowded all of last week, in spite of the bad weather, and, as has before hee said, ladies form’ the majority of the visit- Maze parties seem also to be in great r, and’ the management has been an- proached by several schools and clubs for special prices, as they want to visit the Maze in a body. Haley's Band Concert.—A concert by Ha- ley's Washington Concert Band is an- nounced for Sunday evening, April 4, at the National Theater. when the former successes of this excellent organization will be repeated. Not in the modern history at least of musical Washington has there been recorded such almost instantaneous success for any body of musicians as that which has rewarded the hard and_per- sistent labors of Mr. Haley and his able force. Mr. Haley has been happy in the selection of his programs, as the great favor of their reception in the past will attest. For this concert M Bertha Lu- cas, violiniste, will be the soloist. Henry Miller in “Heart. of seats for the enga, Miller at the Columbia Theater of ext in the new romantic drama “Hea opened this morning. The sale tremely large, and already assures a bj Nant audience for this talented actor opening night. The result is particular] gratifying. for it indicates that the publi taste is still in the direction of whol plays, despite the quantities of French sug- gestiveness with which theater-goers have been so frequently regaled the past few seasons. ‘“‘Heartsease” has the agreeable aroma and poetic feeling that is associated with the pretty, dainty flower from wh it takes its name, and an Interesting, cle love story, healthful sentimen evating ambition, picturesque rroundings and stirring incident are the elements which make up its plot and action. Mr. Miller who plays the leading role, is a deserved favorite in Washington. Manager Char! Frohman has surrounded him with a com- pany of unusual excellence. Among them are Louise Thorndyke Boucicault, Gri Kimball, Nannette Comstock, John T. Sul- Max livan, Frank Burbeck, Leslie Alle Figman, E. D. Lyons and others of aim: equal note. St. Paul's Church.—A musical and literar: entertainment will be given in the lecture room of St Paul’s Church, corner 11th and H streets northwest, tomorrow evening The affair is to be given under the auspices of the Luther League of St. Mark's Luth- eran Church, and an enjoyable program will be provided, in which some well-known local musicians and entertainers will par- licipate. <= Flowers for Presenint tically arranged in Choice —art ogee le. per foot. 6th & > Boards, 12-in = Advertisemen ZeAVS — Chapin Union, W. ¢.

A red-haired young man, who had in- dulged in too much red liquor, and whose necktie matched his hair and liquor, slept in the sixth police station last night, and this morning he was delighted when he learned that there was not a charge of fifty cents against him for the night's lodging. Samuel B. Fleming was the name he gave, and he said his home was at Mt. Jackson, Va., a small town in the Shenandoah val- ley. Because of his condition last night he made statements concerning an alleged serious crime for which he was wanted at his home, but this morning, when sober, he said he had not killed his wife, although he had had some trouble with her. When questioned at the detective office, he said he had left home, never to return, and, although it was his intention to make his home in Baltimore, he had changed his mind, because he thought Washington was such a beautiful city. He said he would never return home to his wife, and before leaving headquarters he said he was g0- ing sight-seeing, and then he would join the army. —_._—_ Against Hog Pens. A great many hog pens in the county will have to be gotten rid of during the next few days, for Inspector Beaumont of the health departinent has already eerved a number of abetement notices. Last year and the year before the health department officials had considerable trouble with hog raisers in the county. Complaints of the filthy condiilon of these places were made, and a compiete inspection followed, with the result that many of :he people were driven out o1 the business. In many in- stances the pens are located near the pub- lic roads, and the filthy condition of sume oi them caused complaints from persons who have occasion to drive along the nigh- ways. This season the first compla: ed came from the village of Garfield, ar Good Hope. During the investigation made last week, the inspector learned that some of the complaints had been made by residents of the Village against their neigh- bers, The inspection disclosed a number of places where the sanitary condition w far from good, and consequently the noci-es to abate the nuisances were served.
