Several of the boxes were oc- ed by the Georgetown and Columbian, rsity foot bail teams, and these youngsters punctuated with their “rah- rahs” and exclamations almost every line of the performance. Their banners ard college ribbons waved from every part of the theater, and the principals and chorus on the stage became so infected by the victorious spirit of the occasion that they too sported Georgetown's colors as a trib- ute to the winning team. Under such exuberant conditions, it is not a matter of surprise chat the perform- ance suffered, despite the heroic efforts of the Harris brothers in front and back of the curtain. Siill, enough was done well to show those who had not heard the bur- lesque before that the music is unusually tuneful, the finales streng, the choruses melodious and the lines not ting in rhyme and wit. Trustees Authorized to Sell Property Rights «nd Franchises—Managern Without Fands for Expenses. Judge Cox, in Equity Court No. 1 today, in the case of Elizabeth K.

The foregoing authority granted the re- ceivers to issue certijicates was in compli- ance with a report and petition setting forth that for the past three weeks the average daily receipts of the Anacostia road have so materialiy decreased that the receivers are now virtually without funds sufficient to pay the employes for the pres- ent week.

Chureh this evening is among the first of the season and comprises a selection of a large amount of the best talent of the city. Prof. McFall, a leading baritone, has only recently located here.

Holcer and Richards, will take an active part in the entertainment, and the well-known euphonium soloist, Mr. C. H. Henney, will entertain the audience on his favorite horn. The Cecilian Quartet, composed of young ladies who have often received great com- mendation by their audiences, will appear in two numbers at this concert, while Miss Abbe Johnson, the elocutionist, will give a pantomime, accompanied by the organ, en- titled “Nearer, My God, to Thee, Mr. A.

Thomas Newsome, who was selected by the senior class of the law department of Howard University to accompany the remains of William R. Dickerson, late an honored member of the class, to his home at Winona, N. J., made eculogistic remarks at the funeral. Among other things he said: “Obedient to the wishes of the faculty and students of the law department of Howard University, I have the honor to stand here today to represent them by ex- tending to you their sympathy and ex- pressing to you the deep sorrow and sense of loss they feel, in common with you all, in the death of that most excellent young man, William R. Dickerson. The great love and esteem in which the young man was held by the entire school and faculty made every student a volunteer to add whatever token was at his command to the sacred memory of the deceased. “I am not surprised to hear on all sides expressions of regret that one whose life was so full of hope and promise should be cut down just at the time when the la- bors, privations and self-sacrifices he had borne for years without a murmur were about to bear fruit. I can and do fully un- derstand that as you stand today in the shadow of this bitter sorrow the finite vision seeks to know why the taking off of our dear young friend should have been so early; why he was not permitted to en- ter upon the career he had anticipated, fol- low the pathway his youthful aspirations surveyed. We do not know the secret; only God knows, and to His unerring wisdom in resignation we should bow.” The Best Medicine Money Can Buy Is Hood's Sarsaparilla.
