Attorney General Trepaigncr spoke of the duties assigned the various branches of the government, and then told something of the labor conditions prevailing in the republic. Cemmon laborers, he stated, are pald 12% cents an hour, and skilled laborers 15 cents an hour. He also spoke interestingly of the court and police system. Mr. Tom C. Noyes, chairman of the ways and means committee of the National Junior Republic. spoke of the needs of the insti- tution. He said it was far cheaper to pre- vent crime than to punish it, and better to make good citizens than to allow bad ones to develop. At present, he said, there are twenty citizens in the republic, but it was immediately desired that the population be extended to one hundred. He told of the subserfptions originally made to the re- public in this city and in Baltimore, and of the donation of the Willie Newbold farm, valued at $2,500. New buildings were needed, as well as a permanent fund, to he raised by annual subscription. He asked for pledges of $3,500 per year and blanks were distributed among the audience. Many subscriptions were immediately received and many more are expected to come in. President Gilbert Jackson and Judge Ran- dolph Hancock of the republic also spoke and were listened to with attentive inter- est. A letter State, Mr. of regret from the Secretary of Hay, was read, A large number of the boys from the high school acted 2s ushers.

Let Mothers Erect a Building for the Junior Republic. A practical suggestion in regard to the needs of the Junior Republic came to The Star today in the shape of the following letter from Mrs. Archibald Hopkins: “It has occurred to me, after hearing the account of the Junior Republic Sunday at the meeting held in fts interest at Columbia Theater, that it would be a capital thing if the building which they so sadly need could be raised by the mothers of sons in Washington. There surely must be 5,000 mother: who, for the love of their own happy sheltered boys, or in loving memory of those who have gone before, will be wili- ing to give $1 each to help save some wo- man's son whom fate has thrown on the orld without a mother's love or home to protect him.

DE At the recent Worcester festival, PACHMANN’S ONLY RECITAL.— in which the greatest artists appeared, the honors were divided between the famous pianist, Vladimir de Pachmann, and the no less famous soprano, Marcetla Sembrich. Philip Hale speaks of De Pachmann as follows: ir. de Pachmann knows the limitations of the plano, and he respects them. Why speak at this late day of the indescribable beauty of his touch, of the exquisite finish of his runs and ornaments, of the keenly defined rhythm, of the poetry, of his phras- in ere is no pianist heard in this coun- try for the last ten years who so anpre- lates the twilight that was dear to Chopin or understands so thoroughly the neurotic nature of the composer.

This Year the Little Fellow Proved Himself Most Weatherwise. bs Six weeks ago. on the 2d of February, a little, fat, roly-poly, gray-furred rodent mammal of the species of marmot known to the residents of hereabouts as the groundhog, to the inhabitants of the north- ern States as the woodchuck and to the stu- dent of natural history as the arctomys monax, poked his chubby black nose out of his hole on the hillside and gave a critical glance skyward. This particular groundhog appeared to realize the important duty devolving upon him, for, as subsequent events have proved, he was a groundhog of rare and discrim- inating intelligence. Many of the weather- wise, who would scorn to place reliance upon the weather burean’s prognostica- Hons, and who themselves know all about the grave import of a southerly wind shift- ing into the northwest, and whose talk is filled with weather-sharp phrases in their zealous efforts to tell how really little they know about atmospheric changes, doff their hats and bow profoundly to this self-same cunning little spectes of marmot. So when Washington’s pet groundhog, Who inhabits a sunny side hill between Washington Heights and Chevy Chase, stretched his cramped apologies for legs, yawned sleepily at being thus compelicd b tradition to break into his sweet winter's hibernation, on the 2d of February last, he fully realized his own Importance and the serivus consequences of his acts. If Old Sol was tn the game, he was out of it. If the sun were to keep his face discreetly hidden, he was in it, and wouldn’t have to go back to sleep any more, but could gam- bol and play as long as he pivased. Washington's pet groundhog, having been in slumber during the early part of the win- ter, did not know how mild the weather had been. It was a cloudy day, and he ran about the entrance to his home to get into training and start the circulation of his sluggish blood. All went well until about noon, and then the sun’s face appeared smilingly through a break in the clouds, and cast both a grin of triumph upon the diminutive weather prophet and a shadow as well. The little chap, very much dis- gusted, crawled back into his hole. where he has since remained, for, having seen his shadow, he well knew that six weeks of winter lay before him, and that he would be more comfortable sound asleep again deep in his nest in the hillside. This year the groundhog’s came true. “prophecy” ——._—. Ladies’ Auxiliary Entertainment. There was a large attendance at the first monthly meeting of Auxiliary No. U. V. L., Saturday evening last in Wo- man's Loyal Legion Hall. The guests of the evening were Miss Lu Dorothy Kieffer, past president of Auxiliary No. 33; also past member of national advisory board of Philadelphia, and member of Union Vet- eran Legion, No. 63. A pleasing feature of the occasion was a iterary and musical program prepared by the musical director, Mrs. Hilton, us fol- lows: Mrs. Hilion and Mrs. Beekman, a piano duet; Miss Lu Dorothy Kieffer, a short address, which she declared was her first_ attempt at speechmaking; Mrs. Geo. B. Johnson, a solo; Mrs. Howe read two original poems, “The Grand Army of the Republic’ and “‘Tyibute to the Flag; . Mary Burkhart, at one time an nurse, read a history of how the flag came to be -called “Old Glory; Mr. J. Edwin Browne gave a reading of two complimen- tary poems, “The Sea Kings” and “Mother 3" Col. Norton sang “The Star Spangled Banner” with piano accompaniment by Mirs. Hilton. Reports showed Auxiliary to be in a prosperous condition financially and nu- merically. ———.__.

Scott of 654 L street northeast, died several weeks oO at Kearney, Neb., and was buried there in a soldier's cemetery. The deceased was well known in this city. He had attended the Business High School, and in May, 1898, enlisted in Company K, 1st District pf Columbia Infantry, U. 8. V. After serving throughout the Santiago campaign, and upon the muster out of the District regiment, she enlisted in the 6th United States Cavalry, with the hope of seeing service In the Philippines. Cuban fever, however, had weakened the system of young Scott, and a ride through a terrific snow storm from Yellowstone Park to San Francisco served to put him in hospital. For disability he was discharged from the service, and started home. As stated, death occurred soon after he reached Kear- ney. Scott's parents hastened to their son, but reached the Nebraska town too late. The deceased was given a soldier's burial by the 3d Nebraska Volunteers. An effort will be made to have the War Department transport the remains to Arlington for final burial. ° ry * * * e * * SY % * ° ° . ° . ° . . . ° .
