The Biograph.—Notwithstanding the long run the Biograph has enjoyed at Willard Hall, the interest in the wonderful effects produced continues to increase. During the past week many new views have been added, until now almost forty separate snd distinct scenes are shown. The Biograph is now of considerable interest to educa- tors, and the teachers of the various schools in and around the city are advis- ing their pupils to witness the effect of electricity and photography combined. Over 700 scholars visited Willard Hall last week, and from present indications it ap- pears as though this number will be doubled during the current week. Strang- ers in the city who falled to see the f augural parade, when Mr. McKinley was inducted into office, have discovered that they can see the scenés and Incidents of that memorable day as lifelike as it was shown to those who occupied seats on the various stands erected on the line of march. Among the new views added is one that has attracted particular interest. It is a scene during the soon hour at Madison Square, showing the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in which some of the biggest politi- cal deals in the United States have heen hatched. The entertainment Saturday will be for the benefit of the Swedenborgian Church. Performances daily at 2°30, 4:30 and 8:15 p.m. A Vaudeville Matinee.—The latest ven- ture of the managers of the Central High School track team 1s a benefit, entitled a “Vaudeville Matinee,” which is to be given tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock in the High School hall, corner of 7th ard O streets. The entertainment will be a de- cided novelty.” The big hall has been con- verted into a theater, and the production there tomorrow afternoon wil! be full of interest. A fine lot of talent has been obtained. Nearly all of the theatcical com- panies in the city are represented. Miss Loraine Dreux of Thomas Q. Seabrooke'’s company will give a clever sketch. The Madrid Quartet, so well known locally, will open the program with one of their Perfect mandolin numbers. Sharp and Flatt, the clever musical two of the Trans- oceanic company, will give the best fea- tures of their regular turn. John and Jess, the pickaninny dancers from the Bijou Theater, will show of what good wing dancing’ consists. Mr. Goldwin Patten, a local artist, gives a monologue. Bessie Driver, a sweet-voiced soprano, will sing the latest scng. Barringer and Sallade will give the New York hit, “Rag-Time Selec- tions.” The Imperial Quartet of the “In Mizzoura” company will present their en- tire act. Mr. Milton M. Clark will do some artistic whistling and give clever imita- tions. The Bischoff Concert.—A large audience enjoyed the third Bischoff concert of the season ai, the Congregational Church last night. Those who took part are counted amcng the best of Washington's musicians and entertainers, and the program selected proved to be enjoyable in every feature. Those who contributed numbers were Mrs. Hattie Meads Smith, Miss L. Mae Edmon- ston, Miss Elizabeth Wahly, Mr. Guy V. Collins, Miss May Adele Levers, Mrs. Jas. Cox, Mr. Geo. F. Milles, Miss Lilian Sef- ton, Mr. J. Walter Humphrey, Miss Flor- ence Henri King, Mrs. Elsie Bond Bischoff, Dr. Seibert, Dr. J. W. Bischoff and the Congregational choir. The program in- cluded thirteen numbers—eight vocal solos, two choir numbers, Dr. Bischoff’s custom- ary number on the organ and two dramatic numbers by Mr. Guy V. Collins. Dr. Bis- choff’s playing on the organ was, of course, all that could be desired, while the chow which he has trained sang the numbers al- lotted to it in a splendid manner. Mrs. Hattie Meads Smith's number, ‘Ocean, Thou Mighty Monster,” by Weber, was, perhaps, the best-received number on the Pregram, although each one on the list re- ceived a generous amount of applause. Mr. Collins gave a reading, “Little Breeches,” and some excellent’ dramatic imitations that were warmly received. The fourth concert of the series will take place this month. —— It matters little what it is that you want —whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need. ———— Boards, 12-in., 1c. per fect. 6th & N. —Advertisement. oo An Interesting Recital.

L, which was on her way from Cardenas to Bristol. On March 31, 1850, she was struck by a tremendous wave which hove the ves- sel on her beam ends and swept all hands everboard. Captain Hunt managed to grasp a portion of the galley which was swept off. Several times he was capsized, but managed to keep his hold. He was in that dangerous predicament for thirty-four hours, when he was picked up by the bark Sherwood. The only other person saved was the second mate, who was taken off the wreck, to which he had managed to return, and was taken to Charleston. ——— To Boston and Points East vin Penn- sylvanin Railrond aad Fall River Line.

The millinery department of Woodward & Lothrop’s big store was thronged with women today, for the annual spring open- ing is in progress and will continue through the rest of the week. Woodward & Loth- rop’s millinery openings have come to be one of the features of spring, but never before have they displayed such a bewil- dering asscrtment of hats and bonnets in- tended for Easter wear. Big cases and tables are crowded with hundreds of speci- mens of the best work of milliners both in Parts and in this country. A view of them shows that nothing can be too gay to suit the fashions this season. Red and purple predominate and poppies are strong in favor for decorative purposes. A stun- ning hat for carriage wear is all in white, with plumes much longer than have been worn for years. Long Prince of Wales feathers on all black hats make a brilliant contrast. An all red hat trimmed with peppirs and with a smashing bow in three shades of red is pronounced, but decidedly pretty. Helictrope and white is another popular combination. Short-backed sailor hats are evidently going to be the thing this spring. Another attractive feature of Woodward & Lothrop's opening is the dis- play of inrumerable novelties intended for gifts, tokens and souvenirs for Easte! Most of them are imported, all are appro: priate and many are very beautiful. ———— National Geographic Society.

It is devoted to a careful and thoroughgoing description of standaré varieties of chickens, and is the work of Mr. Howard, secretary of the National Poultry and Pigeon Asso- ciation. The description fs given in detall of eighty-seven standard varieties of fowls and several premiscuous varieties which are raised in this country. All the leading breeds are illustrated excellently from drawings by Mr. Howard. The bulletin is practical throughout, and gives a straight- fcrward, plain description of each variety of chickens, without the slightest prejudice or predilection for any particular kind, so that to poultrymen everywhere to whom this bulletin will be sent it will prove a trustworthy guide ard counsellor in the selection of stock for the farm or the Village lot. It will be sent to all who ask for it, and at the end of the year will be included in the year book of the depart- ment, where, taken in connection with the previous bulletin on “Fowls, Their Care and Feeding,” it will afford a most compicte handbook for the poultry raiser. sites toad oes “Want” ads. in The Star pay because they bring answe: Soseseseosescoesecesoes esos ‘The gasping, wheezing and shortne breath in Asthma May be instant]; 4404 relleved and permancntly cured by Bocth’s “HYOMET” Pocket In- haler Outfit, the new and wonderful Au- stralian “Dry-Air” treatment of throat and lung diseases. “Cures by Inhalation.” At all druggists, $1.00, or at office.
