IN MUSICAL CIRCLES.
Sketch of the Origin and Growth of the
Capital Glee Club.
A Male Singing Organization That Has
Done Excellent WOrk-Other In.
teresting Musical Items.

The Capital Glee Club Of Washington,
D. c., held its first meeting in November,
'92, and from that time on although like
all musical organizations 1t has had its
ups and downs, it has gradually prospered,
until it is. unsteady, one of the leading
clubs Of the city. The club originated
from an idea of its present director, N.
DuShane Coward. which idea was first in
the form Of a quartet, consisting of oliver
c. Hine. Jacob Scharf, George Scharf and
George Harris.
One of the most earnest workers in be-
half of the club was it's first. president,
Mr.. Eugene e. Stevens. whose faithfulness
to the Choral Society has been its main
stay for many years.
The first concert of the club was given
April 26. 1885, assisted by Miss Maud Pow
ell. five months after organization. This
concert. being the debut of the club, is, of
course, pleasantly remembered by the
members. In the second concert, on Feb
ruary 1. 1894. the club was assisted by the
philharmonic Club (string quarteD of New
York. Having been so warmly welcomed
by the Washington public, the club decided
to give a complimentary concert to its
many friends, which was done by invita-
ton. the club members bearing the ex-
pense Of over five hundred dollars. The
date Of this was May %. at which time the

TRAvERs FOUND GUILTY.
The Jury Believed That He Murdered
Lena Gross.

Thc Jury Believed That He Murdered
Lena Gross.
After celebrating just forty minutes, the
jury in the case of James L. Travers,
charged with the murder of Lena Gross,
near Brightwood, the 18th of last Novenl-
Der, returned a verdict late yesterday af-
ternoo1 of guilty as indicted. Mr.. Alex
ander Wolf, on behalf of the convicted man,
gave notice of a motion for new trial.
and Travers, who had heard his doom
without betraying the slightest emotion,
was remanded to Jail to await the death
sentence.
In charging the jury, Judge Cole instruct
ed them that they might return one of
three verdicts, murder, manslaughter or
one of not guilty. Defining the meaning If
the terms murder and manslaughter, the
court stated that if Travers knocked the
woman down to protect himself from her
assault, but subsequently returned to where
she lay and then cut her throat to put her
out of pain, he was guilty of murder. II
the man killed her without malice he was
guilty Of manslaughter, but malice need
not be hatred, said Judge Cole, but might
be presumed from the commission of n
cruel act resulting in death. Referring to
the claim of the defense that Travers was
irresponsible because of his weak intellect,
Judge Cole informed the jury that mere
mental dizziness, weakness eccentrcity
of mind was not to be considered ex-
cusing the defendant. unless, remarked the
court, it showed that he was rendered
incapable of realizing that when he killed
the woman he was doing wrong.
The charge of Judge Cole was listened
to with much interest. particularly his
reference to the defense of insanity, as
that, it is said, will be the defense urged
in the case of Joseph A. Beam who killed
his stepdaughter. Annie l.. Leahy, last De-
cember, and in the case of Thomas ]. Tay
lor, who killed his wife, Mamie c. Tay-
lor, last September. The former will be
placed on trial before Judge Cole next
Monday, and Taylor will be tried before
the same judge the following week.

Ny childrens ages were respectively nine, seven
and four years, except tbei youngest, who was
only two months old. OF all our suffering my
wife suffered the most. 1t almost drove her mad
The disease first made its appearance on my wife's
back between the shoulders. and spread across to
her breast. 1t looked like it covered over with
little scales. l first bought OF a drug store medi
cine for skin disease, which failed to do any good
whatever. 1 next employed ia doctor, who gave
relief for short while. After trying him for
quite while without enecting a cure, I called in
another doctor, who proved to do no better than
the first After this bought CUTICURA RENE

ductiOn in Passenger Rates.
The Herdic Phaeton Company, whose
vehicles traverse sections OF the city east
OF 22d street northwest and north Of Penn
sylvania avenue, has announced a reduc-
ton of fare to three cents for each passen-
ger, to take effect next Thursday, March
Goth. Owing to the fact that the tickets
issued by one local transportation company
IN the District are good for ride when
presented on any other line, the herdic
company will continue to sell its tickets at
six for quarter, but the cash fares will be
reduced. as stated, to three cents.
The routes covered by the herdics are
now paralleled almost entirely by cable
roads, and the putting in operation of the
Columbia cable makes another important
competitor for the heavy trade heretofore
enjoyed by the herdics running to the gov
eminent printing office and beyond. These
causes are believed to have led to the re-
duction.

credit Cleveland's percentage yesterday
morning was .629. Without that defeat her
percentage was .635. which placed her six
points more ahead of the Baltimores. By
winning twice from Washington yesterday.
while Cleveland did not play, the Balti-
mores, too, armed a percentage of .6S5 In
round umbers.
Cleveland's exact percentage to date is
.634 64-104; G4-10i being more than half,
her percentage is called .635. Baltimores
percentage to date is .635 1896; 1906 being
less than half Baltimore's percentage is
put down also at .635 But Baltimore, on
the face of the returns, is large fraction

champions are in undisruted possession Of

The cause Of the game being thrown out
was due to a base runners being put out

The run thus allowed ultimately gave st.

The Cincinnati Club is on the Trail

Manager Bancroft Of Cincinnati says that
several new players may be signed while
the club is in the east. A deal will prob
ably be closed with the Lancaster club for
the release of Leidy, the brilliant all-round
player and star outfidder. He is a heavy
batter and fine base runner, being some
thing on the order of Billy Hamilton's s
build. He has a batting average of $3.50
and has stolen over sixty bases.
A new pitcher is also badly needed and
will probably be secured very soon. There
are three men in the Eastern League whom
Capt. Ewing will watch. They are Gala

Rudderham, who is,; doing fine work for
Providence Vaughn will do all the catch

be signed. Smink, late of Reading, may be
secured if needed.
The men are all in fine condition and ex-
pect to make a much better showing than

Pittsburg from Nashville. He thinks he is
