AMUSEMENTS.

The MESSIAH The excellent pro-
grams in the churches today have undoubt-
edly mad an influence upon those who are
attracted to the highest form of devotional
music and will influence the attendance at
the performance of The Messiah" which
is to be given by the Choral Society to-
morrow night. This great work of Handel
is one of the most inspiring in the whole
range of oratorio compositions and it is to
be given in its entirety this year, although
1t will take two evenings to accomplish it,
Still the best solos will be heard each night
and those who will interpret them tomor-
row night are Mrs. Morton of Baltimore
soprano; Miss Fielding RoselIe formerly of
this city, contralto; Mr. Nicholas Douty of
Philadelphia, tenor, and David Bispham
bass. These singers are all Americans and
Will give their solos with artistic effect and
the true devotional sentiment The per
Torrance of THE Messiah is peculiarly
appropriate a this season of the year, and
the Choral Society's efforts will certainly
be appreciated by a crowded audience AL
ready nearly all the seats in the First Con-
gregational Church have been sold but a
few yet remain, which may be secured at
Ellis: That the Choral Society will sing
Its share OF the OratoriO in commemorate
style is expected, for the society has never
done anything badly since it has been under
the efficient leadership of Mr.. Josef Kaspar.
This season its parts are well balanced and
1t is singing in excellent form

CITY AND DISTRICT.
Cause of Complaint Removed.

One of the main causes for the flooding
of Monroe street, Anaccstia- during rains,
which has been matter OF complaint for
a long time. has been removed by the locat-
ing of two gutter basins on the Morris
road, connection being made with them
and the sewer at that place. It was found
that water sweeping down the road had no
suitable place to run oft. 1t is considered
that the work just done will provide suf-
fiCient means to convey the water off
through the Monroe street and the Morris
road sewers

THE BLOWING OF HORNS.
Judge Surprised That So Few Arrests
Followed Violations.

Judge Ktmball expressed surprise that
there were not four or five hundred cases
in court today because of the blowing Of
horns Saturday night. The judge was on
the streets when the army of horn blow
ers appeared. and. thinking the police
would probably not exercise any leniency
on account of the season. he anticipated a
big days work. Nine persons only were
captured for this offense, and these had to
leave collateral with the police in order to
avoid being locked up. With one exception,
this recoru-making was done by the police
OF the second precinct. In each case the
person accused was required to leave So
collateral.
One of the victims was a woman named
Lucy Fox. Policeman Bode arrested her
Personal bonds were taken of two boys
who were tried and fine of 50 was i'm
posed in another case.
The other defendants failed to appear for
trial

one evening not long ago there came to the
