The annual May concert of the Central
High School will take place May &c, in the
hall of the Central High School, eth and o
streets. This concert is for the purpose of
raising the necessary money for several
minor expenses that are overlooked in the
annual appropriations for the schools, and
which the scholars are obliged to furnish
themselves. This method OF raising the
funds has always proved successful in the
past. and there is no reason to doubt that
the concert this year will be fully as lucra-
tive as its predecessors. The feature of the
May concert this year will be the produce
| ton of the three-act play, "She Stops to
Conquer" by strictly High School caste
A three-act play was given some time ago
by the pupils Of the High School which
proved highly successful, the scenery for
the production being painted by the mem
bers of the painting class of the school
This will be done this year, and the anna
teur artists already feel that their work
will be one of the features of the produc-
ton, as 1T was two or three years ago. The
ones who have been secured for the caste
of She Stops to Conquer are all well
Known in school life, and have achieved
regulations among their friends for their
dramatic ability. The play is to be brought
out under the direction Of Mrs. Ellzabeth
Walton, the head of the physical culture
department. Those who will take part in
the play are Miss Maude May Allen as
Mrs. Hardcastle, Mr.. Clarence Hopkins as
Tony, Miss Miriam Bangs as Miss Hard
castle, Miss Victoria Ludgate as Miss Ne
vile. Miss Theresa Schoenborn as the
maid, Mr.. Max Maxwell as Squire Hard
castle. Mr.. Fox as NARROW, Mr. Eugene r

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
At the fiftieth anniversary of the ap-
pointment of DIR. w. H. Green as instruc-
tor in the Theological Seminary at Prince
ton, n. j., on the 9TH, there were present
from Washington and vicinity DR.. Wal
lace Radcliffe of New York Avenue Pres
byterian Church, DR.. W. c. Alexander of
the West Street Presbyterian Church, DR..
T. S. Chids, archdeacon of Washington,
ard DR.. Angus Crawford, professor in the
Theological Seminary at Alexandria, Va,
all old students of DR.. Green.
Princeton still holds vigorously to the old
faith of the church. and the old Bible. To
those who have supposed these We're both
dead or dying it will be a curious fact that
Princeton should be the largest Protestant
seminary in the world, having some 80
students CT theology.
The seminary is quite distinct from the
university. over which DIR. Patton, well
known i'll Washington. presides, with some
1.Uy0 students under him. The general in
fiuences of the institutions, however are
the same The latter will soon celebrate
the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
its founding. AS connected with the de-
ciSive battles of Trenton and Primo etOn, as
the refuge of Congress when driven from
Philadelphia, as honored with the presence
of Washington at a commencement, as
well from it's long line of distinguished
Presidents professors and graduates, the
university will justly make the most of
the coming day.

A PENSIONERS CRITICISM,
His Views Concerning the New Act
Regarding Pension Payments.


William Emerson, a pensioner residing at
No. 20G 11th street southeast, calls attention
to an article in Thursdays Star giving rea-
sons for the passage of the act of March 90
1896, prescribing methods for the payment
of pensioners. Mr.. Emerson says the reasons
are manifestly incorrect. as any pensioner
can easily demonstrate, but would prefer to
oonfine himself to the main one, which is
apparently the drink question.
"A check is not cash. says Mr. Emerson
Under the new law the check goes to the
pensiorer just the same as it did under the
old law. 1t must be Endorsed by him, and
instead OF going to the treasury and getting
it cashed, as formerly, he will now be COM
PEELED to go to these very places which this
new law, in the great wisdom of its origin
ator, Is supposed to keep him out of. If the
old soldier wants drink he most certainly
will get 1t under the new law, with added
thirst from the bother and delay. The old
law was as nearly perfect as human in
genuity could adjust it. The new act simply
puts large number of old soldiers to great
trouble, expense, delay and danger from loss
in transit, with not one compensatng ad-
vantage. The reason for the act of March
%, 1896, is still a mystery"

INSTANTLY KILLED,
A Section Boss Struck and Thrown
Fifty Feet by a Train.

George Marshall, a section boss on the
Southern railroad, was struck by the South
ern train which arrived here at $40 this
morning, and instantly killed. The tragic
accident occurred about a mile east of Cliff
ton station, between that place and Fairfax
station, where there is sharp curve in the
road. Marshall, with three other men, was
going up the track towards Clifton on a
nand car, when the express heard ap-
preaching. All the men jumped off the
hand car and endeavored to pull it from
the rails. but the rapid approach of the
train caused every. one but Marshall to run
down the steep embankment. In another
instant the engine struck the hand car and
threw it a hundred feet into a nearby field
Marshall was thrown half that distance
and when picked up was dead, his skull
having been crushed in and his back
broken. The dead body was taken to Fair
fax station on the train that killed him.
He was well known and popular in the vi
cinity, and was about forty years old. He

WHEELS AND BELLS,
Comments by Cyclists on the Com
mfssiOners' Recent Action.

"lAH1OneFH Recent Action.
The community is greatly agitated over
the bicycle question in its various phases,
and the recent action of the Commission
ers in adopting regulations as to bells,
handle-bars, ETC.. has given the situation a
new and acute interest. In reference to
this matter, The Star has received a letter
from r. H. Chapman, as follows:
Admitting the right spirit of the regula-
ton requiring wheelmen to have bells on
the wheels they ride and to keep the hands
On the handle-bar since the street is not
the place to practice trick riding, I would
IKE to call the attention of the police de-
partment to the drivers of express and de-
livery wagons who do not keep their hands
upon the "handle-bar" Ghe reins) control
ling the horses they drive, or who read
newspapers while the horse takes care of
himself! AS pedestrian and wheelman, 1
beg you to call attention to this matter in
the columns of The STAR
Another correspondent, signing himself
Bicycle Rider" writes thus:
There seems to be wall, going up that
bicycle riders are inconsiderate of oedes-
TRANS. That Is a mistake, for / am sure
that 9o per cent of bicycle riders are much
more careful of the rights of pedestrians
IMAM the pedestrians are of the rights Of
bicycle riders. The law says that vehicles
have the right of way in the street, and
pedestrians the right of way on the side
walk How many people have been run
INTO by bicycles while on the Sidewalk?
Inc trouble is. that the bicycle being
step In the great march of progress of this
century, that some of our friends who used
&c cross the fields by the COW paths haven't
caught up with the times. When the pc
destrian learns that he has to respect the
rights of bicycle, the same as those of
team, he can lessen his life insurance.
Who ever heard of any one kicking be-
cause they were obliged to wait two or
three minutes before they could cross
broadway in New York? There they are
obliged to respect the rights of the vehicle
When our friends. who want to walk all
over the streets. learn that bicycle riders
nave rights they will be safe. The 10000
bicycle riders of this city should combine
that their rights be recognized and pro-
tected."
