An event which always brings JOY to the
heart of every little one whose father is
connected with The Washington Light In
fantry Corps is the annual Christmas tree
celebration and family reunion given by
that organiza ton. This occurred Friday
evening In the armory under Albaugh's
TheateT. and was the scene of much fes-
tivity, Dotn among the 'grown-up folks"
and those VINO still believe in the legend
of Santa Claus. The large tree stood in
the center OF the hall, fairly loaded down
with things calculated to delight the chill
dren. Every child present was remember
ed In some way or other; skates and sledS
to the boys, dolls ana doll carriages to the
girls. Sergt. J. II. Sutton made a jolly
Santa Claus, and distril uted the presents
with such good viii that, he brought a
little OF the True ChristmGs spirit into the
hearts of every one.
An excellent program began with an
athletic exhibition. which was followed by
fancy dancing.
Refreshments We're then served, after
which the older ones present had their
turn, and the armory resounded TO the
music OF waitzes and two-steps until a
late hour.
The committee having charge OF the ar
rangements was as follows: Capts Ali

MANY IMPROVEMENT
Have Been Made Lately Mt Freedmen's
Hospital.

Hospital.
Within the next few days Freedmen's
Hospital Is to have an ambulance service
for emergency calls. This vehicle embod-
les all the approved features of it's kind.
ard Is to respond to calls and minister to
cases Of accidents and the like In the
most modern fashion. 1t will be accom-
panied on its runs by skilled surgeon. A
strong effort Is to be made to bring a
large percentage Of the emergency cases
under the care of this institution. 1t Is
understood that the leading idea Of DR..
Daniel Fl. Williams the surgeOn-in-chief,
Is to make Freedmen's one OF the most
prominent surgical hospitals in the coun-
try. The past year has been the improve
ment epoch in the history of the institu-
ton. Since .the appointment Of DR.. Daniel
II. Williams Of Chicago as surgeon-in-
chief the most approved hospital meth
eds have been introduced A new feature
is the Introduction of a regularly organ
lied training school for nurses. This
training school now has force OF forty
young women, number OF them being
graduates from the best schools In the
north and south. This is the only training
school of It's kind in the United States,
with the exception of that operated in con-
nection with Providence Hospital, Chicago.
The plan opens up new field for educated
Colored women.
Another Of the improvements is a pass
age connecting the operating room with
the surgical ward. 1t used to be that pa
tents were conveyed from the wards to
this room across the open grounds on a
stretcher. They are now rolled through
this passage on a light carriage.
1t has been suggested to the Secretary
Of the Interior that the power Of the boil
ers now used to heat some of the wards
and to run the laundry machinery shall
be utilized to heat the entire hospital and
to run an electric dynamo as the gaslight
Is not sufficient for surgical operations at
night.
Another Improvement which It is
thought Will soon be realized Is pay
ward, from which some revenue can be
realized, to be placed with some proper
disbursing officer. All the wards have
been recently renovated, ceilings and walls
have been painted In fresh, bright tints,
and new bedding has been laid upon the
cots.

Then Mr.. Burns fell into n discussion OF
nilitarism. He made the claim that the
srir ding military system of Europe was,
to a very great degree, the cause OF immi-
grafton to the United States. He termed
war 'leealized murder" He maintained
that steam, electricity and all the discov-
cries Of science had failed to achieve the
emancipation of the laborer 1t was wages
saving machinery and not labor-saving
machinery. Man had become the slave of
machinery. In discussing the matter of
temperance, which he advocated, he made
tho point that drunkenness was as often
tho result of poverty as poverty was the
result of drunkenness.
He sought to emphasize the fact that
labor unions in America did not have the
same standing before the law did the
trades unions of the old country. Trades
unions were made necessary by the intro
duction of the factory system, which had
destroyed the relations between man and
master. He believed that the United
States was destined to become the indus
trial Belgium of the world. II would be-
come the industrial cockpit In which the
struggle between capital and labor would
be fought out.
He looked for an increase In strikes; not
I'm the ruuber, but I'm the magnitude of
them. Shooting strikers and imlirisoring
strike leaders would not cure strikes. lie
advised greater interest i'm political af-
fats. and adv qcated suffrage In the Dis
ttict Of Columbia.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
The Childrcn's Choir at Trinity Church
Other Interesting Matters.

VtheT AntcreSt1u8 Motteros
Yesterday the newly organized children's
choir OF Trinity Catholic Church sang at
their first Sunday service. The initial APP
pearance was on Christmas day. The
young voices are fresh and strong in
dividually. and unitediy are very effective.
The establishment OF the juvenile choir Is
an innovation at Trinity that is highly
pleasing. Within a few weeks the men,
bers will have become 80 well drilled that
critics will have little. If anything, to speak
OF adversely. The Old adult choir members
led the children at yesterdays services.
There are such choirs now at three OF the
Georgetown churches, st. Johns. Christ
and Trinity. The first two are Episcopal.
ST. Johns was tn. first to introduce young
singers here. The Introduction at Christ
Church met with much objection, and sew
eral Of the foremost parishioners resigned.
DIR. StitCs Sermon.
The Rev. Mr.. Stitt, pastor of the Dunn
baItC Avenue Church, spoke last night on
the pope and secret societies. He felt
sured, lie said that the recent edict OF the
papal head would have but little effect In
this country, as the people had become
too enlightened to have their actions con-
trolled against all reason. The people have
begun to think for themselves, he sad, i'm
matters pertaining to religion as we'll as
otter subjects, and will act accordingly.
They no longer permit themselves to be
led bltndiy. The pope, he said, was incon-
s'stent In condemning secret bodies, and
yet, at the same time, unfolding the ex-
istence of the Jesuit order, one of the most
powerful secret organizations on earth.
Notes.
At o'clock, or near that hour, a fire
broke out on Saturday evening In house
1888 o street, occupied by Mrs. Mutchler.
1t was handled speedily and effectively by
those summoned to the scene, and serious
loss was averted. Twenty dollars will put
things back in their original condition.
On Saturday evening Miss Mamie Jones
or 1881 n street gave a pleasant dancing
entertainment to her pupils. There were
present Miss Fannie Jones, Miss Fannie
