HoBoKEN GIRLS WON.
Commissioners Of Public Instruction
Could Not Hold Out Against Them.

School children of Hoboken are congrat-
ulating themselves today on hard earn
ed victory. They have succeeded in per-
suading the Commissioners of Public In
struction to give them an Easter vaca-
ton, a concession they entertained little
hopes of receiving.
The students of the High School were
largely instrumental in inducing the Com
missioners to grant the popular request.
Realizing that they had hard battle to
fight they decided on a novel campaign.
Miss Grace Judge, the belle of the grad
uating class, outlined the move. She
suggested that the students of the school
draw up a petition and have the young
ladies present it.
Up to last'-evening there were a few of
the older members of the Board who
were opposed to the Easter vacation.
But when the bevy of fair young dam
sells bore down on them with the petition
they threw up their hands and declared
that the High School students could have
anything they asked for. When the vote
was called every Commissioner responded
with loud Aver

NINE. cARREho's RECITAL

Nine. Teresa Carreno, the distinguished
pianiste, who is without peer among her
sex. will give the first recital in New
York, at Chickering Hall, on Saturday
afternoon, April Is.
For three months she has been touring
the country, scoring the greatest series
of successes of her life, going as far west
as San Francisco, where she played to the
largest audience ever gathered at piano
recital and even exceeding the famous
success of Paderewski.
So great was the enthusiasm, that she
yielded to the request of the people there
for return engagement which she fills
early in May. Her career in Europe since
1889 has been that of an undisputed
sovereign of the realms of piano music.
When in this country two years ago she
played with all the leading orchestras of
the East and West and in addition, in
over sixty recitals.
1t has been long time since the people
found so amiable an artist as Nine. Car
reno, one who is willing to meet any
demand she possibly can and one who
really loves her audiences.
Mime. Carreno is a. tall, fine looking
woman, dark of complexion and with the
blackest of black hair; her arms indicate
