The Montgcmery county chapter of the Mount Vernon Societ assisted by the junior chapter, gave a very successful en- tertainment zt the Opera House Friday ev ing last. The hall was well filled with patriotic citizens and each number on the program elicited loud applause. The exer- cises opcned with a chorus, “America,” fol- lowed by a flag recitation, “Flag of the Bray by Miss Mamie Macmahon. “The Colonial Tea Party,” given by six little colonial dames, Viola Fowler, Mamie Rick- etts, Lillie Clabaugh, Mattie Engiand, Van- dia Braddock and Anna Dwyer, with six Indians, represented by Guy Hicks, Perey Beckwith, Nicholas Brewer, Roy Lowe, Clifford Fawsett and Willie Offutt, with Amy Pumphrey, a little tot of seven, as waitress, presented a beautiful sight. The quaint old costumes and the patriotic songs sung by the childish voices brought back the times of long ago. Lillie Clabaugh re- cited “The Boston Tea Party” with much expression. Mr. Charles W. Prettyman fol- lowed with an excellent address on “‘Wash- ington,” and little Mary Pumphrey delight- ed the audience with a recitation, “The Broken Nose.” “Colonial Times,” with Russell Brewer as Gen. Washington; Miss Priscilla Dawson, Mrs. Washington; Amy Pumphrey, maid, and Denton Lowe, page, was the leading feature of the evening's entertainment. This was followed by tableaux, Lottie Pumphrey representing Mary Chilton; Lada Heagy ard Denton Lowe, Elizabeth and John Estaugh; Nicholas Offutt, George and his hatchet; Annie Laurie Dowden, Mary Hilton; Russell Brewer, Priscilla Dewson and Mary Pumphrey, Gen. and Mrs. Wash- ington and Nellie Custis; Ethel Ross, Mamie Macmahon, Laura Higgins, Helen Dodson, Gerald Warthen, with those im- personating the other characters, formed the tableau called “The Colonial Tea Par- ty,” and sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The amount realized was turned over to the Public School Library. Percy Beckwith recited “‘Washington,” a humorous piece, in the Indian costume. Miss Margaret Dawson explained each tab- leau in a very pleasing and graceful man- ner as the curtain rose, Mrs. Mary Hulin- gen presided at the piano. Arbor day was celebrated at the Rock- ville High School Friday afternoon with appropriate exercises. A number of recita- tions and readings wer@given by the pupils in each grade, interspersed with patriotic songs. The small ones were particularly delighted with a character piece, given in costume, “The Mayor from Texas,” by Syl- vester Sterack, a ninth grade pupil. Trees, shrubbery and flowers were then’ planted by the pupils. Saturday morning it was discovered that the drug store of Mr. Joseph Reading at this place had been entered by thieves and a considerable sum of money taken there- from. This store is the office of the Poto- mac Telephone Company and the money taken belonged to the company. Entrance was effected by placing a ladder up to an upper rear window. The thief was evident- dy acquainted with the premises and knew where the money was kept. Soe ees Written for The Evening Star. Banquo’s Ghost.

Melton have issued cards for the marrjage of their daughter, Margaret Violeta, to Mr. Franklin Mon- roe April 20 at 7:30 p. m. at their residence, No. 19 Q street. The news of the death of Miss Flora del Monte at San Remo, Italy, last week war a great shock to many friends of the fam- ily here. Mr. and Mrs. del Mente and their daughters lived in this city for several years and were very great favorites in society. The young ladies were typical Cuban beauties and much admired. The last few years of Miss Flora del Monte's life were a sad romance and her last illness is said to have been brought about by a disappointment in a love affair. Their mother’s father, the sturdy old Cuban patrict, Miguel de Aldama, impoverished himself and his descendants to aid his country. A masquerade party was given last Fri- day night by the memb>rs of the Lafayette Pleasure Club, at $19 D street southwest. Games and dancing were enjoyed until a late hour.

The latter part of next June had been de- cided upon for a more formal ceremony, to which a large circle of friends were to be invited, but the probability that the District National Guard, of which the groom is a member, will be in active mill- tary service at that time, was the reason for the change to a quiet home wedding of the wbove date. —_———. — GERMANY WILL BE NEUTRAL. Mr. Gehring are at Los Mr§. Gehring’s Baron von Buclow Gives This Assur- ce to Mr. White. A Berlin dispatch of Saturday's date says: Baron von Buelow, the minister for for- cign affairs, had a long conversation this week with the United States ambassador, Mr. Andrew D. White, on tie situation, and Mr. White empowers the Associated Press to say that the minister gave him the strongest assurances that Germany, “in the event of war, will maintain the most strict and loyal neutrality, without any arriere penseo,” and that it was “due to Baron von Buelow’s personal inspiration that the semt-official North German Ga- zette printed its declaration to this effect. Germany's care to avoid a possible mis- interpretation of her designs is shown in the fact that orders given some time ago to the home fleet to proceed, early in May, to Spanish waters for maneuvers have been countermanded so as not to excite false hopes upon Spain's part. ——_—__+e+—___ Marringe Anniversary Celebrated.

The hearing which the District Commis- sicners decided last week to give today to Mr. John Kennedy, the local coal dealer, whose accounts have been held up pending an investigation of tne charge that he de- livered short-weight coal to the public schools, has been postponed indefinitely. Indeed, it is understood that the Commis- stoners have referred the matter to the au- ditor for a report, and that upon his re- port, which it is believed will be unfavorabie to Mr. Kennedy, the Commissioners will refuse to pay him in full. Thereupon Mr. Kennedy will, it is expected, carry the mat- ter before the courts by instituting a suit against the District for the amount with- held by the Commissioners, and in that Way obtain a judicial determination of the questions at issue. Swill it is understood, tory to the Commissioners than would have been the hearing they proposed to give in the case. Mr. Kennedy, it will be recalled, was acquitted in the Police Court of the charge of furnishing short-weight ¢ as eligi peal to the Act _ Geographic Soctety Takes an oa ing. An enjoyable afternoon was spent Satur- day by a number of the members of the National Geographic Society, who went on the excursion given under the auspices of the society.
