WASHINGTON T
From IL regular Correspondent

o'clock NJ. the Forty-nlnth Con
g1eSs will be called to order. The
fact had been almost lost sight of
here during the past few days, Ow
lug to the death of Vice President
Hendricks. The question of the
Presidential succession has intereS
ted everybody to the neglect of all
speculation co%ncernin. the Orgaui
cation Of the House of Representa-
tives, the revision of the rules. the
tate of Mr.. Randall, the Presidents
message. and other matters that
have been the staples of discussion
for several weeks.
The work of draping all the Gov
eminent buildings in black has been
going Oh since the dca,h OF Mr..
Hendricks was announced. The
White House is draped as it was at
the death of ex-President Garfield.
Its great white pillars are covered
with solid black cloth, with large
~rosettes in front, and black stream
erS testOOned from II pillar to All
other. The pillars at the White
House gates are also covered with
black. The capitol is draped up to
the balcony above the dome, with
very striking effect.
The Senators in the city are con
tinualIy questioned to learn wnat
they think should he done to
till the place of President of the
Senate. The impression strength
ems that the Republican majority
will offer it to Senator Logan.
Quite Il number of politicians in
Washington ale busily engaged in
urging his election. And yet lie is
the only man in the Senate of whom
it can be said that lie was a candi
date before the people for the Vice
Presidency and was rejected.
The friends of the Illinois Sena
tor point to the tact that he was IA
long time in securing his re election
to the Senate, and that be lost the
craftsmanship of one committee
and positions on two others by the
new administration, which cut of
some of the perquisites that belong
to the older Senators. Make him

they say, land thus give him "a
nice private room and a little pat
rouage as a recompensc for what he
lost last March,"

honor again. and they talk of his

Next Friday evening, Oct. 80, the blind

will consist of some OF the hnest selections
in both instrumental and vocal music. Inc

speaking Of the entertainment IN that Guy
Friday night of last week, will give an IDEA
of the worth of these musicians: at Is a
rare thing to see an audience in state OF
delight from the rise to the falling OF the
curtain at entertainments, but such was the
case Friday night at the concert given by the
blind musicians, John and Mary McCay.
Undoubtedly sympathy had some effect out
aside from that the music was quite merito-
rious, The house was full, and we can safeiy
saw that every one present WAS most happily
pleased. "Are We Forgotten when were
Gone" and "How Beautiful is Night" were
excellently rendered, and were more than
worth the price Of admission. They are de-
serving of success wherever they may 60,
not because Of their deprivation OF sight, out
because they are good musicians.
The Nine. Fry Concert company VIII give
an entertainment at the Opera House next
Wednesday night, Oct. 28th. This is one OF
the best travelling concert companies, and
has been greeted with large houses during
the season past. Madam Fry possesses a
fine, clear mezzo soprano voice and is thor
ough master of the Bb cornet. Her daugh-
tiers, Eugene, Lulu and Alta Fry, are accom-
plished musicians in every sense OF the word
each playing several instruments and singing
with rare ability. Miss Eugene, the pr'ma
donna of the company, has fine high he1i,
BILE soprano voice; and Miss Lulu rich ana
musical contralto voice Of great compass ana
beauty. They are all artists on the piano
and violin. 1t is only at long intervals that
such fine company of skilled musicians
greet an Ottawa audience. They have been
everywhere received with enthusiasm by
both press and people, and are besides not
strangers in this city, having some three
years ago delighted large audience in the
the NJ. Z. church here.
