CELEBRATE THE NEW YEAR.
Delightful Entertainment Given by
fbe Gesungyerein Last Night.

The Gesangverein Virginia made merry
as the birth Of the new year, and no en-
tertainment that the famous musical So
ciety has yet given has been so success
full and so pleasing as that given at
Sanger Hall last night. Good acting,
fine music, an elegant supper, and bril-
liant ball were the concomitaDts that
contributed to this end.
The programme opened with an overture
by the Thilow orchestra, under the d.
rection of Mr.. c. f. Mutter. This was
followed by the bright and clever old
comedy. THE Three Merry Tramps"
This piece formed the basis of the play
now being presented by the Liliputians.
1t is very humorous. and was admirably
interpreted last night by Messrs. Walter

Emil Miller. John S. Liebert, 7. Adam

THE COHEN CO
MY FRIEND FROM INDIA.
This Bright Comedy Received With
Favor at the Academy.


If one really desires 20 appreciate to
what meritorious degree tie modern
farce has been developed, one should see
Du SaDchet's yclept comedy, MY Friend
From India" which received its initial
local presentation at the Academy of
Music last evening.
To the votaries of the light frothy
style of comedy the piece is peculiarly
enticing. The lines are bright, and at
times spicy, but there is an absolute alb
sence Of vulgarity, and the most fan
tastic notions Of the playwright are sur
rounded by an atmosphere that tempers
them TO the taste of the most fastidious.
Mr.. Fred. Bond who IS seen I'm the role
of a parvenu. who seeks TO gain entree
TO the elite by pandering TO fadism, gives
an overwhelmingly funny impersonation
OF Erastus Underholt, a retired pork
hacker Mr.. John y. Maher comes in for
second hOnors as a fun-maker in the cha
racter of Charles UnderhOlt, the scape-
grace son of his father, while Mr.. John
f. Ward presents the personality Of a.
Keen Shaver the theosophcal barber in
a genuinely comic light. A remarkably
clever character representation is the
work of Miss May VOlkes, who plays the
part OF Tilly the German servant maid,
and worthy of warm commentator is
Miss Clara Hathaway. who is cast in the
minor role of Gertrude Underholt.
The sale of seats for Roland Reeds
engagement at the Academy next Monday
night commences at the box-office this

George Branch, a Fugitive from
Justice. is Tired of New York.

Sergeant Alex. Tomlinson received a
most remarkable letter yesterday from
George Branch. a negro. who is wanted
here for stealing "A gun and pair Of
pants some months ago.
George made his escape before the war
rant was issued for his arrest, and,
writing to the detective from New York,
he now says that he is anxious to get
back and take his medicine, because he
thinks the North is no place for col
ored gentleman 10 live. lie gives his
address on the island. and begs Sergeant
Tomlinson 10 go for him or send the wax
rant on and have him sent back 10 Rich
mond. The caligraphy is quite unde-
ciperable TO the ordinary layman, but it
presents no difficulty 20 the detective.
Sergeant Tomlinson said that no no
tice would be taken of the letter, as the
expense Of bringing the man back would
not be warranted by the gravity OF the
offence. so George Branch will be left a
charge upon the hospitality of the
Gothamites, and victim OF his con-
science and the demon remorse.

THE TEACHERS ARE COMMENDED.
The Two Orders of Mechanics Praise
Them for Their Fidelity.

There was large and enthusiastic
meeting of the Junior order United
American Mechanics and Senior Order
United American Mechanics at Lee Camp
Hall last night. The strength and intel
ligence of both orders were well repre-
scented. After a great many speeches OF
merit relative to the subject OF schools,
the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
To the Esteemed Superintendent, Princi-
pals, and Teachers of the Public Schools
of Richmond:
Whereas. we believe that public educa-
ton is one of the greatest bOons Of the
nineteenth century to the great mass of
people who are unable to educate their
children by private tuition; and further
that the prosperity and advancement of
our common country depend upon the
intelligence Of her people, and since our
present City Council has shown dis
position to curtail this advantage ana
hamper a pubic school system that has
taken years of careful and laborious at
tention TO perfect and make 1t. an envy
by the side of every other municipal con-
troll. we are brought face TO face with a
great principle-namely, the right OF our
City Council, under the guise of economy,
TO destroy or abridge constitutional
birthrght of the people.
We deprecate the pretence under
which ii is done, especially when IL Is
proven beyond contradiction that TINS
right is not denied us because of lack OF
funds. but is rather the overzealous de-
sire of our city legislators to carry out
the wishes of a very small per cent. OF
our citizens, who had not the manly
courage to modest municipal extrava-
gancies where votes and influence could
easily be mustered against them and
crush their unpatriotic intents; but no,
they prefer imposing their iniquitous pro-
position on several hundred ladies' VINO
are forced, by the aggravating law OF
necessity. TO teach our public schools.
For the loyal and patriotic manner in
which our noble school teachers have
come to the rescue in this hour OF sus-
pense is deserving of the commentator
of all patriotic citizens, who believe In
education of the masses and the general
betterment Of our common country: there
fore be it, and it is hereby,
Resolved by the Junior order United
American Mechanics and Senior Order
limited American Mechanics, in mass
meeting. That we do hereby express TO
the principals and teachers of our public
schools our sincere appreciation OF their
noble sacrifice in teaching. free of charge,
the necessary time to complete the regu-
lar school term.
2. Resolved, That we assure the teach
ers and patrons of our public schools
that we will endeavor. by all just means,
TO prevent a repetition of this inroad
upon the rights of the common people,
and we hope to secure the moral support
of all patriotic citizens in our effort.
