THEODORE THOMAS AND YsAYE.-
A grand musical feast will be given at the
Columbia Theater tomorrow afternoon by
the Chicago orchestra directed by Theodore
thomas and accompanied by M. Ysaye, the
famous Belgian violinist, as soloist. This
Is Ysaye's first appearance in Washington
this season, and Il Is Mr.. Thomas first
public appearance in something like ten
years. The bare announcement that Mr.,
Thomas and his orchestra are going to
appear here would suffice to draw out en-
audience par excellence, but when the
magnitude Of the soloist is considered there
remains no room for doubt that the Column
bia Theater will be taxed to its utmost
capacity to accommodate those who wish
to hear Mr.. Thomas The program has
Deen arranged with the greatest of care,
including numbers for those who love the
severe, as well as for those who prefer
the moro modern works. 1t would be hard
to find more delightful symphony than
the Mozart G minor with which the pro-
gram opens. Although it was written in
the inconceivably short space of ten days.
1t is regarded as Mozart's finest symphonic
creation, and the fact that he wrote forty
nine all told must not be overlooked The
tone poem, Don JUAN" by Richard
strauss, will prove an interesting number
Ior Strauss is at present a very prominent
figure in musical Europe.
THE HENSCHELS' RECITAL, TO-
NIGHTTIME. and Mrs. Henschers song re-
cital at the Universalist Church this even
ing Will be the same delightful affair that
all the muscales given by them have
proved to be. A musicale in which Mr. and
Mrs. Henschel participate is thoroughly
enjoyable from every point of view, and
there Is every indication that this evenings
event will be in no wise an exception. The
program which will be presented tonight
has all the marks of well-selected list of
musical compositions, and should please
all musical tastes. The recital tonight will
De the last one given by those accomplish
ed musicians for some time as they re-
turn to Europe next week

MYSTERY CLEARED AWAY.
Result of investigation Concerning
Death of an Infant.


Death of an Infant.
The mystery surrounding the case of the
dead infant found buried In a box near Sill
yer Hill. Md, was explained away salts
factorily last night, when Officer MARI con-
Quoted to the Anacostia police station An
ME Hall. Hillsdale midwife, and John
Hall, William Hall and a man named Da-
Wis. all four being colored people. Officer
MARI had investigated the case closely, and
mad learned that a daughter Of Annie Hall
was the mother of the child, and that after
birth the infant had disappeared Annie
Hail was present at the hearing. She made
no denial of these facts when questioned at
the station, but claimed the child had been
born without life, and called upon DR..
II. A. Pyles to prove her assertion. He
mad been called upon by her in the mat
ter and had given a proper certificate of
death. ~
1t transpired in the examination of the
parties interested that burial permit was
secured from the District office for the in
terment of the body in Silver Hill ceme-
terry, Mo In this connection, it is said, the
name OF John Hall appears on the paper as
the undertaken. The body of the child was
iinally inferred, not in the place designated
IN the permit, but in a field near Silver
Hill, Md. For this all the parties NAV be
In the Police Court. They were released
last night, but will be on hand when need
ed. The result of the investigation will he
reported to the jury at Silver Hill Friday.

CONSTRUCTION OF LAW.
Decision in Suit Affecting the Rights
Of Householder.

OF Householder.
An important question, involving the con-
struction OF the law Of the District relating
to exempt property" has been decided in
Criminal Court No. 2. hearing civil causes.
IN the cases Of Rosa Finkelstein against
the firms of Carter, Applewaite & Co., and
K Neuburger & Bro. Mrs. Finkelstein. a
married woman, deserted by her husband,
had been for a number of years carrying
on general notions store in this city, and
the two firms named obtained attachments
against her for merchandise sold her on
account Of the business.
The attachments were levied upon the
stock in trade Of Mrs. Finkelstein, as also
upon her household furniture and most of
her wearing apparel. Mrs Ffnkelstein
claimed that the household furniture and
wearing apparel were exempt from attach
ment, and instituted proceedings to recover
the same as such. The court held that al
though Mrs. Finkelstein had no children
nor any one dependent upon her for sup
port, yet tnasmuch as she kept house in
the premises over the store which she con-
Quoted, she was a householder" In con-
temptation of the statute providing for ex-
emption from attachment and execution:
Also In addition to such statute, her rights
In the matter were protected by the act of
June 1, 1896. which provides that a married
woman sued in relation to her sole and
separate property shall be entitled to the
penent or all exemptions allowed the heads
OF families and householders

DIR. HamIin's Lectures

Inc hrst OF the series of lectures on the
Bible to be delivered during Lent by Rev.
Dr. Hamlin Was listened to yesterday
afternoon by an attentive audience. These
lectures, according to the program. will
De delivered each Wednesday afternoon
at 40 o'clock, at the Church of the Cove
nant
An organ recital by the organist of the
church. Mi. Harvey Murray, occupied the
hrst fifteen minutes of the hour The
lecture was largely of an Introductory
character, and dwelt principally upon the
modern or inductive method of studying
the Bible as contrasted with the a priori
method. While the Bible might be con-
sidered and examined as any other book
the lecturer said, yet it was due to its
history and its influence that such study
SHOULD be approached in a spirit of rever-
erce- He said the Bible was primarily a
revelation of God, and while it contained
history and biography, for example, yet all
was an incident to the main purpose of
me book. which was TO reveal God to man.
DR.. Hanllin said the lecture. next We'd
sesday afternoon would be on the various
theories of inspiration.
