nEArTGrrL CmNrEL SCENE.
The First Communion of Nine Little
Girls.

Nine little girls made their first com
munlon in the chapel Of the Academy Of the
Visitation, on Connecticut avenue, yestcr-
day Sunday morning, in the presence of
their parents and few friends. The chapel
is situated in the second story Of the convent
building. At one end Is handsome marble
altar, and on the left side, within the altar
rail, Is lattice work or section Of bars
reaching from floor TO ceiling to separate
the space occupied by the nuns from the
main chal ol. Over the altar is a large pic
ture of our Saviour appearing to st. Mar
garCt, and representing the origin OF the
devotion Of the sacred heart.
There lisa small altar on one side on which
stands n statue of the Blessed Virgin, aud
on the other side Is statue of 81. Joseph.
Without the altar rail are neat benches,
with high backs, aud knceling benches
There is a small gallery in which Is placed
an organ. The nuns furnished the music,
10th vocal and Instrumental.
About G:20 o'clock Sister Mary Francis,
the dirCctress Of the academy, entered the
chapel through side door, followed by the
nine little girls. Each made genuncSion
IN front of the altar, and passed TO her seat
on the front row of benches. They were
dressed IN white and wore long white wells.
At $3.50 Rev. Father Il. r. Burke, of St.
Augustinc's Church, assembled the altar and
began the celebration Of the mass. In the
meantime all of the nuns had entered the
space behind the bars, hut were ont of
| sight, except one who knclt close to the
| bars and made the responses Of the mass
and rang the bell at the elevation, &c.
After the ccOnsccratiun Father Burke turned
and spoke few words to the children.
| After few words Of good advice the
children then took their places at the altar
rail. Father Burke then descended from
| the altar and administered the sacred host tn
each child, who received It and bowed her
| head in reverence. lie then turned TO the
| bars ON his left aud the nuns filed by aud
each received communion through small
| opening. After the other nuns had passed
| eight white veilcd nuns followed. During
| the time the nuns were receiving they
| chantCd 4 psalm or hymn in mOurnful
tone.
At the end of the mass each of the
| children was invested with the scapular of
| the Lady of Mount Carmel.
The smallest of the girls very little one
| was Mary Mudd daughter Of Mr. Mudd,
| Of the Associated Press. The next larger

Within the classic precincts of "Ilerring

supreme, lies n belt Of real estate extending
from Rock Creek westward to Twenty
eighth street that is not exactly fair to look
upon, yet ripe for the speculative eye.
Through this somewhat benighted dis
trict pass the stately "Tally-llo,n the airy
tandem and the English drag of the eX-
elusive northwest section. In fact, the
only outlet for fashion on wheels seems To be
through 'lIerring llill,n and yet very few
of GcorgetOwn's residents seem to know the
origin Of its somewhat fshy name. In con-
versation with an old citizen REPrBLICAN
reporter learned that In the early history OF
the town schOoncrs heavily laden with fish
assembled the creek as far as what Is now
known as P-street bridge, where lived on
the hill Il colored family by the name OF
Mason, who engaged extensively In the
curing Of fish, principally herring, hence
the piscatorial and apparently far.fctched
name Of 'lerring llill."

The Printers Back PAY.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,; The
following item Of facts should be made pub
lie, and we, the victims, respectfully ask
you, through your paper, TO make the state
ment:
In March last Congress passed and the
President signed bill known as the Cur
gent Deficiency" bill. In this bill there
was an item of 5000, appropriated to pay
the discharged employees of the government
printing office the pro rata due them ON ac-
count Of the fifteen days leave bill. AL
though this money was made available be-
fore April /, and that many of those WHO
held claims were In destitute circumstances,
Public Printer benedict found IL convenient
to refuse them and their communications
any notice, until they appealed to United
States senator to aid them In getting some
information one way or the other from the
public printer, who had refused to state his
purpose or intent when applied to by them.
This was ut rs late date as April TO- In
response to communication forwarded
to the public printer, on the above date,
by the senator, the public printer, after
trying to excuse his delay in not paying
these claims by making two false and mis-
leading statements, promised to commence
the paying Of them ut once. Now, let us
see how he commenced. On or about Apr.
23, while he had very large percentage, If
not all OF tine claims III nanu (many oil them
having been filed since last August), he
sends out Il few scattering ''vouchcrs, for
the claimants to sign. These We're neither
in the order Of their discharge or Of their
applications as flied, showing want Of
"busness principle in the management of
his office or discrimination, the cause of
which no ore better than himself under
stands. Nor is this ALL Many Of the
"vouchcrs' sent out by the public printer
Lat, T..
opposite their names and returned to the
public printer the following day, Apr. 2j,
since which time they have not been heard
from in any way. He has the signatures
Of these people, and has had them for
over week, yet they have not received
one cent. Is this only one instance or is it q
| fair sample of the boasted business princi-
| pies on which the government printing of

CAUGHT PLAYING CRAP.
Police Drop Down Upon Them with

out Being Seen.
That the cOlored man loves games of
chance is beyond dispute, and between
policy playing and crap his earnings
rapidly disappear. The former game has
the greater attraction, owing to the large
percentage it pays to the lucky gucsSer.
But the latter is easier to play, and a man
can win or lose IN very short order. These
games do not restrict players to any age,
but are participated In by bootblack and
newsboys from 10 years up to the gray
haired octogenarian. Groups can frequently
be seen engaged in shaking 'craps," and
while they become deeply interested In the
game, they always have a picket out, aud
the appearance of ''cop'' is the signal for
separation. The groups rapidly disappear
only to come together again not far away to
resume the game. Many exciting races
take place between the guardians of the
law and the gamblers, and the latter gen
orally escape.
Officers Raedy, Green, and Goucher, Of
the third precinct, however, were more Sue
cessful yesterday afternoon. Near the cor
ner of Twenty-ilfth and VI streets north
west they observed u large party of men
and boys In the shade of a building engaged
In shooting "crap.n The players were so
deeply engaged that the officers approach
was not noticed. The picket was engaged
IN the game also. On discovering the OIL.
GERS the players jumped to their feet aud
started to run. Three of them We're
caught and taken to the station house,
where they gave their names as John w.
Smith, aged l3 years; Robt, Lee, aged p,
and Samuel Booth, aged 30.
Officer Reidy, however. had II chase of it
that lie will remember for Il long time.
Robert Lee was the party who led him
through VI street, down Twenty-siXth Ia
Rock creek, and down the banks, and when
near X street bridge Lee jumped into the
creek and swan over to the Georgetown
side. RCidy blew his whistle, which brought
officers to the bank Of the creek Just as Lee
was ascending II. Another chase took place
but the odds were against the man. The
race, which had been an exciting one from
the start, was joined In by crowd of cit
zens. Lee, after valiant run Of 1t, wa
caught and turned over to officer Rcily.
