BAPTIST MISSION WORK.
The LnbOrs of the Clarks Among the
India Hill Tribes

Mrs. Clark, who, with her husband is in
charge of part Of the mission work car
ried on in India by the American Baptist
Missionary Union, will address ladies' to-
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock In Calvary
Baptist Church. The inhabitants of Assam
one of the divisions of the Indian empire.
are Hindoos and Mohammedans. Mission
work has been conducted among them for
many years under the direction of the
American Baptist Missionary Union. Mr..
and Mrs. Clark labored there for eight
years, until they became interested in the
wild tribes inhabiting the hills. These
tribes were uncivilized, wild and savage.
like the American Indians and were called
by the people of the plains head-cutters.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark have reduced their
language to a written and printed form.
Portions of the gospel. a collection of re-
ligious hymns, elementary school books and
a grammar are already printed in the Maya
language. and a Naga-English dictionary
almost completed.
In eight villages schools have been estab-
lished, the same building serving as chapel
and school house. In the village where MIR.
and Mrs. Clark reside there is a church
OF sixty members, and, including Chris
tians in other villages. over 100 have been
baptized. During these sixteen years thew
have carried on the mission work alone
but recently Mr.. and Mrs. Perrine and Mr.
and Mrs. Haggard have gone to assist
them. Failing health obliged Mrs. Clark
last year to return to America. She is now
spending few days in this city.

A number of Washington women held n
meeting on Saturday afternoon at the Ho-
tel Fredonia for the purpose of forming a
local branch of the Society of the Loyal

The object of this association is the dis
semination and PRONUNCIATION of the prin-
ciples of Protestant Christianity and the
advancement of its interests. 1t is opposed
to anything which tends to endangar the

Defending the Organs.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
l see by The Star that great number
of complaints have been entered against
that most desirable acquisition, the street
organ. In this same article the fact is set
forth that some one has claimed that these
organ-grinders, when ordered away, re-
fused to stir. This would seem most ex-
traordinary, for We all know they play only
when remunerated, and under the circum-
stances this could hardly have been the
case.
What is it that helps remind us of our
childhood days, and makes us feel light
hearted when lin the dumps?'-tfe organ
grinder. What is it that helps make the
children happy and the babies quiet ?-the
organ grinder. And one can imagine the
voice OF any person asking restriction on
them more discordant than the meanest
one of all.
Then. speak up, brave citizens for our
street organ. You will never know how
much they lightened your troubles until
may the time never come-they are no
more. Long live the organ grinder.

AMUSEMENTS.

Sousa's Band Concert.-The popularity CT
John Philip Sousa in Washington was fully
demonstrated in the large audience which
hlled every seat in the National Theater
last evening and overlooked into the lobby
Mr. Sousa brought with him MS excellent
band, but the big crowd was maialy in
compliment to the leader although the
work of the band was in every way
worthy the applause it received. The pro-
gram included Waghers ''Taanhauser''
overture: Lacome-Foerster's suite Scenes
at Masquerade Dix's "A Musical Critic $
Dream; LISTS Hungarian Rhapsody, No.
2; prologue and intermezzo from Leon
cavallos IL Pugliacci;'' Rossinrs overture
to William Tell" and two compositions
by Mr.. Sousa, 'Sheridan's Ride" and the
new Liberty Bell march. Each number
was given with precision and force of
expression that showed the perfection of
practice, and proved how close TO orches-
tral effects a military band can come when
controlled by master mind. The musical
portion of the audience was grati,ied by the
skillful work in the classic numbers while
the popular ear was charmed by the light
and graceful encores that were demanded
after each performance by the band. The
popularity of Sousas marches was tested
by the enthusiastic applause that greeted
the opening strains of The High School
Cadets" and The Washington POST" and
which was repeated when they were En-
fshed. The more unique composition on the
program was that by Dix, in which the IA
miliar air Annie Rooney vas treated in
the style OF all the eminent composers in
the most effective manner. Mr. Sousa' 8
soloist was not up to the mark and his
song. My Own, My Geraldine" deserved
a better Interpretation. His new march,
The Liberty Bell" has the Sousa swing
and snap, but is hardly as distinctive in
theme as his others. Altogether il was a
great band concert, and was greatly en-
joyed. Mr.. Sousa and his band 90 to san
Francisco to play five weeks at the mid
winter exposition. and then return TO the
Madison Square Garden in New York. II
is hoped that he will give another concert
here on his return trip
