Like all of that class of entertainment, such as “Jack and the Bean Stalk,” ‘Fantasma, etc., the au- thors have gone to the Mother Goose mel- odies for the source of their play. In “Bo- Peep” there is a pretty little plot running through, which brings in several charac- uitside of the nursery children. “‘Bo- Peep” and Jack Horner escape one day from Mother Goose’s book to the outside world.

For anization has been looked up- leader of burlesque and high- ile acts, and each season's been greeted with increasing from Washington theater-gcers. the vaude visits have patronag. ‘The roster of the company for this season is the st st in its history, and every y is evocative of repeated encor tion to the ability ef his principals, Manzger Leavitt of the company is re- nowned for engaging only young and pretty singers for the chorus, and the feminine contingent of the Rentz-Santley, as a re- sult, is invariably pleasing and fresh-look- ing. This season this organization is one of the largest and most expensive bur- lesque companies in America, everything being entirely new. The costumes and scenery are beautiful. The new burlesque this season, “A World of Pleasure,” will portray the fads and fancies of the pres- ent day, all the members of the company participating. All of the latest songs and davces will be introduced, and the fun- making of the comedians is most enjoy- able and thoroughly in touch with the taste ot the public. The olfo wiil have Jes. J. Sullivan and Carrie Weber, eccentric char- acter sketch artists; the Sisters Engstrom, serfo-comics: Frank Hammond, monologue the Bland sisters, artistic singing and dancing artists; Bewley and Barney, sketch artists; Lottie Elliott, the famous skipping rope dancer; Harry 8.

BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA— For tweive years the Boston Symphony Orchestra has catered to the lovers of the best in music in Washington, and during that period has given fifty-two perform- an: ‘The coming season will include, as usual, five performances, to be given on ‘Tuesday afternoons, beginning November 9. The orchestra will again be under the eirection of Mr. Emil Paur, and the per- sonnel will be the same as last seasop. It seems almost superfluous to reiterate that the same high standard of performance which has obtained for the past decade will be maintained. An esprit du corps exists in the ranks of this organization which in- sures strenuous effort in the direction of perfect ensemble. The result is shown in the general sentiment of satisfaction and approval which prevails after each per- formance, and the verdict of the press in all the cities visited warrants the claim of the Boston Symphony Orchestra to rank among the foremost musical organizations of the world. Exceptions may be taken now and then to some slight variation from the general rule of excellent performance, but the audiences as a whole ae to the fullest extent the work of as skilled a body of musicians as can be found either abroad or at home. It is a matter of pride with this organization that an unusually large number of its patrons have attended the concerts in this city from the very begin- ning. S ‘The custom of all theaters to book at- tractions for a period of not less than a week will explain the difficulty of obtaining a single night each month for these con- certs. Social engagements are so numer- ous in Washington during the season that the management finds the announcement of matinees quite acceptable to a majority of the patroas. To oblige the great num- ber of government employes who are con- stant attendants at the performances, the time of beginning each matinee has been set at 4:15 p.m. Conductor Paur has already prepared pro- grams for the entire series, which include the Haydn Symphony No. 7, the Dvorak Symphony No. 5 fram “The New World,” the Schumann Symphony No. 4, the Sym- phony No. 3 of Beethoven and three move- ments from the 9th Symphony by the same composer. The overtures will include the “Academic” of Brahms, the ‘‘Leonore, No. 3," and the “Egmont” of Beethoven, and “Carlo Bfoschi” of Auber. The novel- ties will be Chabrier’s “Espagna,” Tschai- kowsky's “Italian Caprice,” the ‘“Poeme Lyrique” of Glazounow and Weber's “In- vitatien to Dance” orchestrated in the most novel and brilliant manner by Weingartner. The soloists include Mme. Lillian Blau- velit, Mr. David Bispham and Mr. Rafael Joseffy, all of them prime favorites in Washington, and too well known to need further exploiting here. Mr. C. M. Loeftier, who not only ranks as one of the most tal- ented of the first violins in the orchestra, but who has also achieved marked success as a composer, will also be heard. ‘The sale of season tickets will begin on Monday morning, October 18, at the La- fayette Square Opera House. SOUSA’S BAND.—Sousa and his band will give their first concert of the season here at the Lafayette Square Opera House Sunday, October 1 Wherever music is loved, wherever the stirring strains of military bands inspire tired marchers to forget fatigue, wherever the piano is played, and wherever the de- votees of Terpsichore gather in any part of the world, the name of John Philip Sousa is a household word. One of the first of American composers to win interna- tional fame and popularity, he stands to- day in many respects the foremost of our conductors, the most versatile and success- ful of our composers, and the representa- tive of all the great public loves in music. Sousa’s great band of fifty eminent solo- ists, veritable magicians of music, respon- ‘ive to every impulse of the master mind in command, have reached the acme of ex- cellence and finish. This is, indeed, the ideal wind orchestra, capable of perform- ing the noblest works cf the noblest com- posers with the artistic nuances strings, In addition to the rich tonal qu ty of the reeds and brasses. Sousa’s men sre the band of the people. Their melodies and harmonies touch the throbbing chord of responsiveness in the public heart, and set all nerves tingling in unison to the mu: This is the eleventh regular tour of Sousa and his band, and the present series of concerts will be among the most notable in all the brilliant history of this famous organization. Mr. Sousa, always fortunate in the choice of soloists, will be assisted by Miss Maude Reese Davies, soprano; Miss Jennie Hayle, violiniste, and Mr. Ar@hur Peyor, trombone. The sale of seats will open the box office Thursday morning, October 14. BENEFIT AT GLEN ECHO.—The ninety- one members of the Mount Pleasant Mili- tary Rand have been very active this week selling tickets for their benefit at Glen cho, tomorrow. There will be two per- formances during the d. one at 3 in the afterncon and one at 8 o'clock in the even- ing. The sale of seats hi been very grati- fying, nd from every indication the im- mense amphitheater will be comfortably filled at both performance A number of the Washington military companies have signified their intention of attending in a bedy, and giving the Mount Pleasant juven- iles a rousing reception. The band has been holding nightly rehearsals, and will be in perfect condition to render a splendid program of popular and military airs. A rumber of vocal and instrumental soloists ve been engaged, and their final re- hearsal takes place this evening, when the and complete program will be an- There will also be an organ re- at each performance. For the accom- modation of patrons that care to dine at Glen Echo before or after cither perform- ance, the regular table d’hote dinner will rved from 1 to 11 o’clock p.m. Tickets may be purchased from any member of the band, good for either performance. Ar- rangements have been made with the elec- tric railway companies to run closed cars should the day be cold or cloudy. REMENYIS CONCERT.—The first mu- cal event of the season is the concert of Edouard Remenyl, the famous violinist, that Is booked for the Columbia, Sunday evening, October 17. Kemenyi has not been heard in We ton for several seasons, and he will doubt- less have a warm welcome upon his reap- pearance. His wonderful playing is. still remembered by his many admirers. Pos- ed of sou the chief requisite in an artist, Remenyi is able to sway his audi- ence to his Ii i and hold them—a quali- ty_ too often lacking in anists. Remenyi has but just opened his tour, and fs playing in superb form, so that a delightful treat is in store for those ‘who attend. prano of Remenyi’s company is Miss Joulse M. Brehany, a singer who has won favor wherever heard, and the pianist, Mr. Wm. Sauvlet, is an’ artist in every sense of the word. Seats are now selling at the Columbia box office at popular price full K. 0. T. M. ENTERTAINMENT.—An en- tertainmcnt and hep for the benefit of Mt. Vernon Tent, No. 4, K. O. T. M., was given at Northeast Temple Wednesday evening last. The program presented for the enter- tainment of those in attendance was not a lcng one, but there were many enjoyable features that were encored to such an ex- tent that it was strung out beyond its ex- pected tim Those who participated were Messrs. T. Pruitt, W. Halley, N. Halley and H. I. Smith, comprising a quartet with Miss Alice Yingling as acc George H. O'Connor, comic vocal Conley, reader; J. ts W H. Cathell, basso; M Lena Main, soprano; Miss Meda Potter, dancer, and Miss Emma Houchen, accompanist. The affair was under the Girection of . Pruitt as musical di- rector and Dr. J. H.

CHURCH LECTURES.—The course of six illustrated lectures on church history, from the apostolic times to the reformation, to be given by Rev. Richard P. Williams, ‘un- der the auspices of the Church Society of Trinity P. E. Church, at Trinity Parish Hall, corner of 8d street _and Indiana ave- nue northwest, on the Tuesdays of each week beginning October 19 and ending No- vember 22, is attracting much attention from those residents of the city interested in church work and history. The lectures are for the benefit of the church repair fund, and this is also an incentive for good attendance on the part of the members of the congregation of the church and their friends. The subjects of the lectures are as follows: Lecture 1, ‘Early Christianity in Britain;” lecture 2, “Establishment of the English Church;” lecture “Result of the Scandinavian Conquests;’ “Growth of Papal Despotism in Britain lecture 5, “Resistance to Papal Jurisdic- tion,” lecture 6, “Leading Events in the Reformation. THE BIOGRAPH.—The Washington pub- lle generally will be glad to hear of the re- turn of the biograph, that wonderful ex- ponent of motion photography, to this city next week. The first exhibition will be given Monday afternoon at , and the machine will be located at Wiilard's Hall, where it made its success last season. Three exhibitions: will be given daily at 2:50, 4:30 and 8:15 p.m. About forty views will be shown at each exhibition, the great- er number cf them being entirely new scenes. Some few of the favorites that made such a hit here last season will be kept, but the majority of the pictures will be representations of scenes in this coun- try-and Evrope, prepared during the sum- mer for this Washington engagement. The gretted the end aii tlie engagement here. This season thesel friends of the instru- ment will have an eppertunity to renew ac- quaintance under ever more auspicious cir- cumstances than those which operated at the previous engagement, and it is a fore- gone conclusion tkat the present visit of the biograph to Wa¥hington will be in every sense as sucéessful as its last one. — Chorsfl Society. The Choral Societys began its season’s work last Monday evening with an ex- cellent attendance ‘forithe opening night of the season. The evening was devoted to the rehedrsal of :Parker’s ‘‘Redemption Hymn,” and the spring song from Buck’s “Light of Asia,” two of the numbers to be given at the society's second concert, prob- ably on February 21. Mr. Wm. Bruce | King, who succeeds Miss Leavitt as finan- cial secretary (the latter having felt com- pelled to resigm the arduous duties of that position), addressed a few words to the chorus upon the favorable financial pros- pects of the society, and also upon the in- terest attaching to the rendition of the pro- gram of its second concert, the music of which will be entirely by American com- Pesers and the soloists American born. ‘The rehearsals for the next four or five weeks will be devoted to the music for this concert. They are held at Sheldon's Hall, 1004 F street, at 7:30 every Monday evening. Twelve applicants for admission to the chorus were examined at the close of last Monday’s rehearsal and were after- wards admitted by the chorus committee. The board of managers has decided to limit the chorus membership to 200, and in- tending new applieants for membership wouid do well to apply early. aire a UNIVERSITY NOTES Howard. Little has as yet been accomplished In the way of athletics, but from present in- ications there will no doubt be a foot ball team organized and attention given to oth- er sports, both through the winter and during the spring of next year. At the organization of the Alpha Phi Literary Society the following permanent officers were chosen: President, Mr. P. T. Gillam; vice presicent, Mr. A. D. Brister; secretary, Mr.-J.

At the prayer meet- ing held Thursday evening committees Were appointed to serve the present school term. The school opened this year with a very good attendance in all the departments, the enrollment of the freshmen in the several departments showing a marked increase over last year. There has been very little change in the faculty during the summer. Nationa’ Last Monday evening tne law department of the university was formally opened, Chicf Justice Richard H. Alvey of the Court of Appeals presiding. The exercises were attended -by a large number of the old students as well as those newly en- rolled and many centemplating taking up a course during the ensuing term. Judge Al- vey, after a few introductory remarks on the necessity of personal and individual ap- plication of the students to their work, und the benefits to be derived therefrom, amnonnced. the plan te be followed in re- gard to the subject of constitutional law. It is his Intention to describe the consti- tutions of foreign nations and compare their features with those of our own.

The sophomore class held a meeting yes- terday afternoon for the purpose of per- fec‘ing the class organization for the en- suing term. Considerable enthusiasm has been aroused in foot ball at the university this fall by the entrance of Granville Lewis, who form- erly pl d at the Maryland Agricultural College, and prior to that in the Central and Business High Schools here. He has been selected as captain, and it is the gen- eral opinion that he will make a good one. As there ts considerable material to choose from, a good team can probably be selected from the best of the numerous candidates. The following schedule has been arranged by the manager: October 8—Washington and Lee, at Lex- ington, Va. October 9—Virginia Military Institute, at Lexington, Va.

Wednesday Dr. Conaty attended a recep- tion tendered to the Brotherhood of St. Andrew at the Executive Mansion.’ No definite plans have as yet been made for the forming of any athletic association, but it is probable that as the season ad- vances there will be more activity in this line, as the success attained last year has stimulated the interest in out-door sports.
