The Musical Festival.

Those of our citizens who have not
secured their seats for the musical May festival
the National Theatre, for next Friday and Satur-
day evenings should do so at once if they wish to
avoid standing during the performance Thepros-
poets tor crowded house are very hattering if we
may judge from the sale of seats at Metzerott's
and the opportunity Of hearing the great tenor,
Campanini, in Oratorio should not be lost by our
musicloping cittizens; neither should they fail TO
indOrsc the enterprise of our Philharmonics in
providing an entertainment such as has not been
given in this city FOR many years. The oratorio of
L" The Creation which will be given on Friday
evening, with the great artists, Campanini, Mrs.

JULIUS CESAR.
Rehearsal by the Lawrence Barrett ORA
matte Club mt the National Theatre.

Amateur rehearsals, or rather rehears-
ais of amateurs, are generally quite amusing. The
ambitious amateur, even though he may play but
minor part, is fully impressed with his own i'm
portance, and if he happens to be a leading man
he is more precise as to how his brother actors
10 enter, 10 pose, and to make their exits than
was ever the late Forrest, who was, perhaps,
the greatest stickler for stage direction of any
actor. The amateur female is several degrees more
difficult to handle than he of the male persuasion.
She is usually too unanimous, and is anxious to
do her part that she is willing to play, or assist
in playing, almost every other character. The
trouble in the management of amateurs is
with the stage manager; and it is task
requiring great tact to drill an = amateur
party into proper shape Occasionally there are
exceptions, and recent rehearsal of the Lawrence
Barrett Dramatic Club, which was attended by
representative of The REPUBLICAN, was one of the
exceptions. This club will play Julius Caesar
on Thursday night at the National Theatre for the
benefit of the public shoots of the District.
They have been taught in elocution by Miss Laura
Schreiner and their distinctness of utterance and
correct emphasis is the result OF her instructions

walked the stage with true tragic dignity and BTU
tbs and Cdssns melted the conspiracy and effected
the assassination of the business-H like julius in
thorough business-liEe manner POrtid was suf-
fering from cold, and only did pantomime. The
only really funny incident was when Br1rtus said:
e YOu-are-my-true -and-loving- WIFE" as de-
hberately and precisely if he had
been reading the funeral service for
which he was brought up with a round
turn by Thad Sailer. The rehearsal showed that
the young amateurs have made great improvement,
and indicated good performance. One thing that
was noticeable was the fact that nearly every per-
former has clear, resonant voice and speaks with
remarkable distiuctness. How the youths will
look in Roman togas and sandaled feet is another
thing. The play of Julius Caesar" is very heavy
undertaking for party of young gentlemen and
ladies without professional experience, but it
promises to be well rendered ON Thursday night.

DIPLOMATIC STORY.
No Names Given, but Said To BE the Truth,
Nevertheless.

Once upon time there came a great
dgnitaIy, a grand ambassador from one of our
neighboring republics, accompanied by his grand
secretary and attaches This grand embassy was to
be the great central point for the immense and gi-
gantic schemes of capitalists and politicians
therefore did this high functionary rent fine
mansion, in which he might dispense his hOspi-
tally with the grandeur becoming the dig
nifty of his kigh position; but as he came
unattended by family he was obliged to en-
plOy as housekeeper rather an elderly
woman. who had a fair young daughter;
though not near fairas a Georgian or Caucasian,
still the royal blood of Sidney coursed through her
veins, which made her aspire to become some
thing more than a housekeeper's daughter. The
grand secretary of pOrtly mien and the swarthy
complexion of an Othello, but more Don Juan in
character, left in his far off sunny home beauti-
full wife and five children. How this fair BESIDE
mona, with her faithful mothers aid, had so COM
pletcly aroused this grand secretarys passion and
wound him up i'll their cunning net was never
fully known until morning dawned short time
since upon the embassy minus the house
keeper, daughter, and secretary. They had
flown to no one knew where The
old ambassador Strove hard to hush the
scandal, but soon it was known in every nook and
household, and that grand secretary's name
stricken from the social list for his fair BESIDE
mona had gained too much notoriety from a for
mer connection with one of Gcorsia's most noted
politicians. Unlike Othello, however the lustful
secretary forgetting his high position OF trust and
fearing neither the whip Of scandal nor his own
country's condemnation, persisted in his mad ca
reer, and thus brought all the hopes of grand
schemes and enterprises to stand-Still At least
matters stood according to last reports and asto
