HIGH wa ENTERTAIN seem ; Exercises at Each-Appropriate to the Christ- mas Qecasion. aL Music and Recitations Leading Fea- tures—Schools Close at an Early Hour 4 wie Program. Christmas was generally observed in the high schools of the city today by early closings and i tu: entertainments. ‘The last school aay. efore Christmas is al- Ways an enjoyable one, and especially at the high schools, where discipline is re- laxed several notches and entertaining fea- tures provided in place of the regular course of studies. The study and recitation periods were shortened and the after pro- grams began as a rule about 12 o'clock. At the Busiress School literary and mu- sical features were provided, the talent be- ing drawn from the pupils. Miss McDonald gave a plano solo in good style, and Mr. Riordan gave a reading, Richard Harding Davis’ “A Recruit, at Christmas:” . Mr. Quinter played a ¢ornet solo that was much appreciated, being followed by Miss Meacham, who contributed a vocal solo; Miss Edwards gave a recitation, and the Misses Haas a piano duet. Easterns Have a Christmas Tree. At the Eastern High School there was a big Christmas tree, loaded down with bright trimmings and curious-looking bundles. These bundles were presents for members of the faculty as well as pupils, and some of them were a source of much amusé- ment. A program of literary and musical numbers, participated in by some of the pupils of the school, was also a feature of the celebration. The following program was given at the Western School: Cherus, ‘Sleep, Litue Babe; recitation, “The Doughnuts Like Your Mother Used to Make,” Miss Della Fishel; song, “Dreams,” Miss Marie Ever- ett; violin sola, Beethoven Waltz, Miss Daisy Field; recitation, “Changing Year, Miss Belle Graves; guitar and mandolin se- lection, ‘Normandie’ March, Misses Wright and Ball; song, “The Sei enade,” Miss Bes- sie Cobaugh; reading, ‘Christmas Week,” Mrs. alton; violin solo, the intermezzo from “Cavalleria Rusticana,” L. Lennox; guitar and mandolin selection, ‘Daughter of Love,” waltz, Misses Ball and Stod- dard. Speeches were made by Mr. Leetch and Mr. Cheyner of Cornell University, Mr. Smoot and Mr. Alexander of Lafayette and Mr. Bradley and Mr. Cassin of Columbian. The program was one of exceptional merit and reflected the greatest amount of credit on the school. Central Program Abridged. Although a long program had been pre- pared for the pupils of the Central School, some of the expected participants did not appear, abridging the order of exercises materially. A very pleasing entertainment was given at that school, however, partici- pated in only by the German sections. At the regular entertainment, nearly all of the scholars provided themselves with balloons and the hall presented a unique and pleas- ing effect, with hundreds of the dainty toys of all colors at all stages of elevation. Tne principal features of the cntertainment were selections by the glee club of the school, under the direction of Mr. Gunnell; a banjo solo by Mr. Sallade, and a drill by a team of eight Central boys, under the command of Military Instructor Domer. The beys put up a splendid drill, and re- ceived round after round of applause, > THE OYSTER DREDGERS. Baltimore Objects to Receiving Them From This City. The question of what to do with the al- leged ill-treated oyster dredgers who come here from down the Potomac river, usually from the jurisdiction of the state of Mary- land, is tating the minds of some of the local officials. Complaint is being made in Baltimore about the sending of these un- fortunate men there. The matter was made the subject of an official communication received at police headquarters yesterday from Alonzo B. Gough, who is connected with the charity department of Baltimore city. He takes the position that dredgers whose homes are In cities other than Baltimore should not be sent to the monumental city. On the other hand, the local authorities see no reason why all of them should not be sent there. These dredgers come here, as a rule, from Maryland waters, instead of going to Baltimore, because it is much nearer. Since the 23d of October nineteen of them have come to Washington from the lower Potomac, and each one said he had ship- ped from Baltimore. Four of them had been so badly treated that they had to be given hospital treatment before they were abie to ‘avel Capt. Cutler, supe dent of the mu- nicipal lodging morning cailed on Sanitary Offic k and discussed the dredger problem. Almost every night during the past two weeks, he says, he has had to accommodate some of the dredgers. He thinks something should be done for the protection of the men down the river. ee Master Plumbers Elect Officers. At a special meeting of the Master Plumbers’ Association held Tuesday night the largest attendance on record was pres- ent. An election of officers was held, which resulted in the unanimous choice of Wil- Mam Koch as president. H. J. Allen was chosen vice president; E. J. Hannan, sec- retary; Charles Barrick, sergeant-at-arms, and Daniel Hannan was re-elected treas- urer. It was decided to accept District Com- missioner Black’s suggestion to the as- sociation not to withdraw its representa- tive on the plumbers’ examining board at the present time, and also to submit the views of the association upon what the composition of the examining board should be. ———————— Suit for Wages. A libel suit was filed this afternoon by Willie Green against the oyster boat Net- tie May. Green claims to have been em- picyed on the boat, and the suit was fiied in an endeavor on his part to secure wages which, he says, dre due him. ——— Offenders Receive Sentences, John Boughn, alias John Goings, recently convicted in Criminal Court No. 1 of at- tempted arson, was this afternoon sen- tenced by Chief Justice Bingham to im- prisonment for two years in the New Jer- sey state prisoa atiTrenton. Nelson Wooden; colored, convicted of sec- ond offense, petty larceny, was sentenced to imprisonment inwthe same institution for one year ang one day. Robert Williams, colored, convicted late yesterday afternoon of housebreaking, was committed to the reform school of the District during his minority. Se See Crook Confesses, Wiliam H. Crook today pleaded guilty before Judge Kimball of the larceny of a quantity of silver, valued at $8, from Dr. Millard F. Thompson Tuesday afternoon, and was sent to, jail for three months. Crook went to Dr. Thompson’s house and asked for something to eat, which was given him. Seeing the articles lying loose on a table in the room, he carried them off. All the articles were recovered. —— Explosion of Acctyline Gas, An explosion of acetyline gas at the resi- dence of Dr. S. Clifford Cox, in Hyattsville, M4d., startled the residents of that com- munity about 5 o'clock yesterday after- noon. The explosion wes heard and felt all over the village, but the damage done was slight and no one was hurt. ee SS For Collector at Albany, It is learned that the President has de- clded upon the appointment of John G. Ward as collector of internal revenue at Albany, N. Y., to succeed Louis W. Pratt, who was said to be a defaulter. The nom- ination probably will be sent to the Senate immediately on its reconvening. Edw. C. Covk, 513 Adams ave., Scranton, Pa., states that he ‘considers Dr. Bull's Cough ‘Syrup the most efficacious remedy for coughs, colds, etc., he bas yet found. % ° Sensational Doll Selling! yours for less than SEGSEE ; none on hand after the = holidays. 25e.

Bills for Divorce Filed Today in Two Canes. Elenora Stewart, whose maiden name was Goddard, this afternoon instituted suit for divorce from Harry C. Stewart. According to the petitioner, she married the defend- ant September 13, 1887, and lived with him until August 1, 1895. She charges extreme cruelty on the part of her husband. In ad- dition to a divorce, Mrs. Stewart asks that she be granted the custody of their one child and authority to resume her maiden name. Her solicitor is W. E. Poulton. Suit for divorce was also begun this af- ternoon by Matilda Cook, who seeks a legal separation from Louls Cook.’ The couple were married June 11, 1888, according to the petition, and lived together until April, 1893, when, the wife says, she was forced to leave her husband because of great cruelty perpetrated by him upon her. Mrs. Cook asks for the custody of her three children. William L. Pollard is the solicitor for the petitioner. paras Eee ne Did but Little Damage. Special Policeman O'Day turned in an alerm from box 256 about 10 o'clock this morning for fire in the basement of W. B. Lester's house, No. 1748 S street north- west. The fire, which was confined to the basement, was caused by the burning of some rubbish left near the furnece. Fire- men extinguished the flames before much damage was done. During the fire a pocket book, containing $71, disappeared from the house. Miss Jos: ephine Denham, to whom the money be- longed, reported the theft to the police. SS Clerks Given Special Privileges.
