LITTLE ONES as FAIRIES.
They Scored Great Success mt
YOnge's Hall.

Ihey scored a treat success NJ
YOnge's Hall.
The cantata last night at Yonge's hall
was great success. A large audience
gathered to witness the performance, AMI
was highly entertained by the very pleas
ing presentation of the scenes and songs
of fairyland. The children, under the
able tutilage of Mrs. M. f. Carter, had
been skillfully trained in the rather diff
cult parts, and everything went off with
out any mistakes to detract from the ef-
feet
Master Sammie Brown, in behalf of the
ladies of the Bolton Street Church Of
Christ, by whom the entertainment was
given, came before the curtain and an
nounced that the audience was expected
to wait after the performance. glance
around at the tables in the rear of the
hall, and a glimpse into the ante room
showed the meaning of his request, for
they gave promise of the delightful re-
freshments that followed.
Little 3-year-old Harrie Strobhar opened
the entertainment by going out before the
curtain and, not a bit frightened, reciting
a lengthy piece for such little tot
Sammie Brown is fast establishing quite
a reputation as a singer. His song last
night was received with the usual favor
shown his efforts.
Emmett Robinson recited numerous
piece in which the ark, Shem, Ham,
Noah and the rest and a fiddle and pos
sum figured to the apparent satisfaction
of the audience.
After this number began the fairyland
scenes. Engaged in this part of the pro-
gramme were a number of very prettily-
costumed little girls, who were thorough
ly aware of what was expected of them.
They were Misses Mary Valleau, Daisy
Lovett, Blanche Crawford, Daisy Derby,
Eta Croft, Georgia Hex, Ruth Tarver,
Ethel Fretwell, Fannie Robinson,
jamie Shuptrine and Ethel Gill
bert, all good fairies, and Misses
Rochelle Tarver, Elise Yonge, Eva CraW-
ford, Willie Bell, Marie Strobhar,. Mamie
Daniels, Blanch Cavanaugh and Susie
Brooks, evil fairies.
Misses Christine Garnett and Annie Lee
Russell were little orphans who went IN
search of the fairies. They were found
by the good fairies and transformed into
elfand dwellers themselves,
Then the good and evil fairies had a
struggle for supremacy over the new ac-
QUESTIONS to fairyland, which finally re-
suited in a reconciliation and all the evil
fairies becoming good fairies.
The management of the performance
was splendid and reflects credit upon Mrs
Carter. The costumes were pretty and
carefully made, setting off the graceful
little figures nicely. Mrs. Pace assisted
greatly as accompanist.

GRUVER GIVEN FIFTEEN YEARS.
The Jury's Verdict Voluntary Man

slaughter without RecOmmen-
datiOn.
If the sentence of the court against
George Gruver, who was charger with the
murder of Henry Voight, is carried out,
he must spend fifteen years of his life in
the state penitentiary.
The jury returned verdict yesterday
declaring him guilty of voluntary man
slaughter, without recommendation to
the mercy of the court. The jury did not
reach an agreement until O'Clock in the
morning, having deliberated on the case all
night.
Two of the jurors insisted on a verdict
of murder without a recommendation, one
was for murder with a recommendation to
mercy and a fourth was for Involuntary
manslaughter. The eight others were all
for voluntary manslaughter as the verdict
was finally returned.
Shortly after the verdict as arrived at
the jury was called down. Gruver's ia
Their was the only member of his family
who was present with him in court when
the verdict was read. His mother, sisters
and brothers and friends were with him
all day during the trial and remained at
the court house until IL o'clock that night,
but they were not down yesterday in time
to hear the verdict read in court.
In passing sentence, Judge Falligant
simply called attention to the fact that the
jury had found him guilty of voluntary
mansaughter without any recommends
ton to the mercy of the court. He then
sentenced him. to spend fifteen years in
the penitentiary. The sentence for volun-
tary manslaughter is all the way from
one to twenty years in the discretion of
the court. 1t has not been definitely de-
cided, but 1t is likely that Gruver's coun-
sci, Mr. George w. Owens, will appeal for
a new trial.

MORTON CADETS TROUBLE.
Several Members Discharged For the
Good of the Service.


Good of the Service.
The troubles of the Morton Cadets Of
Washington, in which there has been a
good deal of interest among the local
military on account of the prominent part
the cadets took in the interstate drill
here year ago, so far as the national
guard status of the organization is con-
cerned, are at an end. BY special orders,
headquarters District of Columbia mill
tia Privates j. Paul Chauncey, William
Clabaugh, f. Oscar Grayson. George F.
Plugge, Charles Ravenburg and William
M Wagner of the boiling faction were
discharged from the National Guard in
the interest of the service.
Privates Harry r. Sisson and Milton
OConnell were favored with good luck
and will receive honorable discharges,
free from the interest OF the service"
clause. by a rather queer turn of affairs.
The terms of the enlistment of Privates
Sisson and O'Connell expired Dec. q, 1896.
Capt. Schilling's request that they be dis
charged i'm the interest of the service was
dated Dec. 20. In its circuitous route
through military channels 1t was so de-
layed that it did not reach headquarters
until Dec 80, three days after the eXpi-
ration of the term of service of the men
in question. Capt. Schilling's request,
therefore, could not legally be compiled
with, as, according to the enlistment pa
pers their term Of service expired Dec.
q, and their right to discharge was COM
plete. unless proceedings with a view OF
trial by court-martial had been commence
ed against them.
Therefore, there was no other course
open to Capt. Shilling than to issue to
Privates Sisson and O'Connell honora-
BILE discharges as OF Dec. o. 1896, by rea-
son of expiration of term of service.
No further steps have been taken looking
toward a Strengthening out of the civil
affairs of the organization.

The Senate to Rectify the Oversight
at Once.
Washington, Jan. 12.-When Senator
Sherman, a few minutes after the Sem
ate convened this morning. moved an ex-
ecutive session. 1t was enormously sup
posed that the general treaty of arbitra-
ton between this country and Great Bri-
tain was to be taken up A message
from Secretary Olney was read, asking
that a change be made in the text of the
extradition treaties with the Orange Free
State and Argentine Republic ratified by
the Senate yesterday. There is a clause
in several of our extradition treaties that
forbids extradtion of citizens of the coun-
try from which extradition is asked. This
was omitted in the two conventions agreed
to yesterday and the Secretary of State
called attention to the omission. A mo-
ton to reconsider the vote by which the
treaties were ratified was entered, and
the matter went over until tomorrow.
