DER DRAMATISCHE GESELLSCHAFT What It Has Accomplished in Its Ten Years of Life. ——— TRUE TO MUTTERSPRACHE A marked characteristic of the German race is their love for their native language. Although their loyalty to the institutions customs of the country of their adop- tion make them one of the most valuable es of American citizens, there is too little fickleness and instability in thelr nature to allow them to forget the Mutter- sprache. This sentiment finds expression in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities in the establistment of Ger- in Washington, man theaters; with the Harry Rothschild. large German element in its population, the Dramatische Gesellschaft supp}ies this need. ‘The German Dramatic Club was founded twelve years ago. Mrs. Emma Poesche was the first president, and to,her enthusiasm and tireless energy much of the after suc- cess of the club is due. The other charter members were: Mrs. A. Schoeneker, Mrs. Bertha Caron, Miss Augusta Donch, Miss H. Scholer, Miss Rosa Poesche and Messrs. Bunitzky, Feléhaus, Maedel, Lepper and Theo. Friebus, jr. The club grew rapidly; it was soon too large to meet in private houses, and {t was found necessary to rent a hall for its performance Nor were the atter unambitious; Medea, Ingomar, Hero and Leander, King Rene’s Daughter and Sappho were among the classic dramas resented, besides a number of piays of hter character, sometimes by German autho ometimes translated. For the lat- ter achievement, both from a Hterary and a dramatic standpoint, Mr. Frank Claudy and Mrs. Poesche. Miss Anita Schade must be thanked. Mrs. Poesche also proved herself an authoress in the dramatic fie Mr. Claudy and Mr. Friebus have been in turn successful presidents, and it is a mat- ter of regret that the former has found his sagemeuts with the Saengerbund so ab- sorbing that he can no longer give the club the benefit of his cultured and intel- lectual renditions of roles as frequently as in the past. After the usual vicissitudes Incident to the early years of such an organization. the club began holding regular meetings in Willard Hall. A variety of performances have been given in the last six years, ing for a high degree of talent. Jane E: Anna-Lise, “Durch die Intendar Pyg- malion and Gelatea, Gringoire, Taming of Thee. Friebus, Jr. the Shrew, scenes from the Two Gentlemen of Verona, As You Like it, Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, Rom2o ard Juliet, scenes from the School for Scandal, Schiller’s Maria Stuart, Neffe als Onkel, scenee from his Kabale und Liebe, Princess Turandot, Braut von Messina, Phedre and Don Carlos have been given with much success; besides comedies, pan- tcmimes, tableaux, ete. The first perform- arce of Pygmalion and Galatea was given for the kenefit of the poor, and the play de- serves special mention on account of the beauty of Mr. Claudy’s translation, the biank verse form having been retained with much fidelity. The tenth anniversary of Wagner's death was commemorated; a!so the hundredth anniversaries of the birth- days of Koerner and Grillparzer. Schiller’s birthday was remembered in the same way. Its Creditable Performances. A number of Americans have associated themselves with the Geseilschaft, those who are studying the language and wish to acquire that “ear practice’ which is at once so ossential and so difficult, und oth- ers, who, having visited Germany, wish to gevive pleasant memories. The hall has almost invariably been filled to overflow- ing. An explanation of. the size and en- | thusiasm of the audiences will be found less in the interest manifested by ‘he Amer- icans and the natural cohesiveness of the Germans than in the fact that the club ranks above the average of amateur or- ganizations. Its performances weuld com- pare favorably with many on the profes: sional stage. < The list of those whose acting, both in the tragic and in the no less difficult mirth- provoking roles, deserves faverable com- ment, is so long that only those who have taken part this year can be mentioned. Miss Anita’ Schade, whose talent has al- Miss Schade. ready won her a more than local fame, reads her lines with a dramatie power and a fidelity to nature that is as rare as com- mendabie. Miss Anna Rettig lends the charm of so much brightness and vivacity to her interpretations that she is deserved- iy among the favorit! Mrs. Schoeneker's faithful rendition of humorous roles has won her much popularity. Mrs. F. Altrup has added during the year to the reputa- tion gained before her mariage for clever and graceful work. Miss Clara Ulke pla with animation and_ expressi and not least is the name of Miss whose sincere and refined has had but one opportunft witnessing. M Springguth, Miss Frai ke, Miss Von Wimpfen and Miss Heger are s of promise.

Mr. Friebus is well apd popularly known in other dramatic circles, but some of his most artistic work has been done for the Deutsche Dramatische Gesellschaft. One of the most enjoyable features of the performances has been the music usually kindly contributed by friends of the club. A glance at the names of those who have taken part will suffice to: show that it was of a superior order. Mrs. Browning, Miss Edna Scott Smith and the “Madrids” are among those who have enteetained the club this season, while past is show the names of such artists as Henry Xander, Paul Mirsch, Mrs. Kaspar, Mrs. Naumann, Miss Lotta Mills, the Misses Willenbuecher, Mrs. Byrnes, Miss Schott Prof. Meyer, Miss Behrens, Prof. Markees, .

Pope’s Advice. It may sound like a platitude--a truism--to say that lack of will, of energy, is one of the Ist Lieutenants in the Regiment of Disease. You are weak and ailing and miserabie--you don’t care whether school keeps or not--that feeling, if en- couraged, is the best friend of Death. Bicycle riding is recom= mended, but you are too tired, tooenervated, yousay. Besides, you don’t know howtoride. That’s thecase. The whole of it. e Now for the remedy. If you are strong enough to stand you are strong enough to ride a short time the first day, a little more the next, and soon. But you'll fall, you say. No, you won’t. If you were to fall at the COLUMBIA BICYCLE ACADEMY the instructors would be discharged and you could get damages enough to last your life out. Then comes the short ride outdoors in the glorious sun- shine--then farther afield in the country--and so by degrees, as strength returns, the delight of spending the day outdoors in God’s health-giving spring air. Then comes HEALTH! Little by little, but it comes comes to you--surely and gloriously--you live again--the world is bright once more. How much will it cost? ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS. That’s the price of a COLUMBIA. How much have you been paying doctors? The only trouble is that you are afraid to take the advice. Remember, riding is nothing but walking sitting down--even less exertion than that. Pope Manufacturing J. Hart Brittain, Local Manager, 452 Penna. ave.

Up to 1884 scarcely more than the edges of Africa had been occupied by the Euro- pean powers. It was in that year that Germany suddenly began an attempt to realize her long-cherished aspirations for a colonial empire. She naturally made the attempt In Africa, as the only place where it was possible to make it, and in doing so she started all the nations in a wild race in fear lest their neighbors should get the advantage of them. In this scramble, if England has been left far behind by some of the others in the area of her gains, she certainly leads them all in their real value, and the prospect that the Anglo-Saxons will be the leading power in the future of Africa is certainly as good, if not better, than was their prospect for the control of North America in 1750. This is surely true if we consider Egypt an English posses- sion, and we can hardly suppose that Eng- land will ever abandon that country, what- ever depths of sentimental emotion may be stirred in varying moods: nor, considering the enormous benefits which result, would the world ever consent to such an abandon- ment, if it were not still much influenced by barbarian motives. It was a brilliant scheme which was attempted in 1894 to obtain from the Congo Free State a nar- row strip of land connecting the waterway of Lake Tanganyika with the British sphere of influence to the north, and so to make an English highway from the mouth of the Nile to the Cape of Good Hope. Al- though it seemed the part of wisdom at the time to yield to the united objections of the other interested powers, it is by no means impossible that the object sought may be accomplished in the end. What is the total result? A little more than 11,000,000 square miles under the rule of England, 3,500,000 under that of the United States—together, more than one- quarter of the total land area of the globe. me out in ——-e-—_____—_— The Legion of Honor Limited. From the New York Times, Of all French institutions, perhaps only one of any national impertance is a mon ment to the consulate. That one is Legion of Honor, which Napoleon organ- ized while that most transitional of gove ments was in existence. It appealed stron ly to French instincts, bas survived all the changes through which France has passed since that time, and its bit of red ribbon is still considered a sufficient reward for most important services to the state. Napoleon Ill bestowed the decoration so widely and with so little regard for the character of the men whom he made chevaliers that for a while the order fell into some disrepute. Toward the close of that unfortunate mot arch’s reign there were about 25,000 civil members, besides all those who had been decorated as soldiers. Tc restore the pres: tige of the order, an act was passed in 18: providing that only one new chevalier should be nominated for every two vacan- cies caused by death. The effect has been to reduce the number of civil knights to i0,- 000, but recent ministries have found the awarding of the few favors of this sort at thelr disposition created for them vastly more enemies than friends. The Meline cabinet has solved the difficulty, for itself, at least, by introducing and securing the passage of a law repealing the act of 187: ard substituting for it one fixing the num- ber of civil knights permanently at 12,000. There was a long debate in the chamber of deputies on this bill, and the socialists op- pesed it fiercely, but the measure finally passed by a vote of 344 to 124. a A Trolley to the Pyramids. From the Karsas City Star. It is announced that a British company has secured a franchise to build a trolley car line from the city of Cairo to the pyra- mids of Gtzeh.

From the New York Herald. Howard Jelleme of Passaic is secretary of the gun detachment of the 24 Regiment, N. G. N. J. When the detachment was ordered to Washington last week it de- volved upon him to purchase eighteen pairs of heavy service gloves. He sent the or-ler to a store in New York, and in due time the gloves arrived and were distributed to ‘the members. » JeHeme tried his gloves on the other day, and discovered that there was a small ob- ject in one of the fingers. He turned the glove inside out, when a valuable sapphire Ting in gold setting fell to the floor. In ‘some way it had become fastened in the glove. Perhaps some one trying the gloves on had lost it. At all events, Jelleme shows the ring to all his friends and cherishes it a8 a curiosity.
