No May ball that has been given this year
has eclipsed the fifty-seventh annual dane
ing event of that kind which the pupils of

f street was made brilliant and beautiful
for the occasion, and IN il was gathered
a large ana fashionable assemblage. Many
of the relatives Of the little dancers were
present; and the terpsichorean ability dis
played by all the participants in the pro-
gram was source OF pleasure not
only 10 them. but to all the others
as well. The queen of May was
Marguerite Butler, and she looked every
inch the role as she sat on her throne sur
rounded by rer maids of honor who were

Most Remarkable Progress BEING
Made by Japan.

The first of the general information series
of bulletins for this year issued by the bu-
reau of naval intelligence is a translation
of carefully prepared paper by Construc-
ton Sussenguth of the German navy, which
appeared recently in the Marine-Rund
schau. 1t comprises Il comparative sketch
of the nayies of the world with their in
creases during the next three years so far
as provided for by present appropriations.
The writer calls attention to the fact that
the demands made on Germany for naval
Increase in the next three years are not
nearly so great as has been popularity sup
posed falling beneath that of either the
United States, England, Russia, Japan or
Italy. Relative to the cost of battleships
1t is shown that Germany is able to pro-
duce them cheaply per ton as England
and much cheaper than France, or proba-
bly, Russia.
1t is stated that the navies of the world
are profiting by the lesson Of Santiago,
where the heavy battleships brought about
/ the destruction of the Spanish feet and are
building batteships OF 1900 to 1900 tons
/ displacement. Another lesson that the
| German constructor draws from the Span
/ ishAmericau war as we'll as from the hght
| on the YaIu is the worthlessness of the
unprotected ship in battle. Japan is the
/ only country which is now building vessels
| of this class.
| one of the most remarkable statements
| of the writer is the frank confession that
| England, on the completion OF the sheps
| now under construction for her navy, will
! be in a position to meet the combined
| navies Of any two powers OF the world. IL
| is also stated that England has under con
| struction and to be completed in the next
| three years vessels that alone will be more
! than equal To the total German navy as II
| will stand at the end of 1903. note by
| the naval Intelligence bureau says that TINS
| English flotilla now under construction Will
| exceed the American navy, built and build
! ing. by over 10000 tons displacement.
| The most remarkable progress now being
| made by any naval power is by Japan. She
| Will have d navy when her present pro-
| gram of construction is completed that vii
| outclass any hotilla that can be put IN
eastern waters by any power except Eng
| land
| II is worthy of note that despite China s
| lack of naval progress in some respects
she has under construction several torpedo
| boat destroyers of 30 knots. being the fast
est vessels in the world.

DELEGATES AT HOME.
Citizens Who Attended Convention of
Charities and Corrections.

The committee of Washington citizens
who journeyed to Cincinnati, Ohio, last
week TO attend the national conference OF
charities and corrections, in the hope of
securing the convention for 1900 for this
city. has returned unsuccessful in its
project. but hopeful that the conference of
1891 can he secured for this city. AS pub
lished in The Star at the time, the Wash
ington delegation consisted of Mr.. Is. T.
Janney, chairman of the committee on
charities and corrections of the board of
trade; Mrs. Kate b. Barlow. superintende nt
OF the Industrial Home School; Capt. Har-
ris. warder of the District jail; H w.
Lewis, superintendent of charities; John w.
Douglass of the board of childrens guard
ians. and George S. Wilson of the Asso-
ciated Charities.
The delegation arrived in Cincinnati We'd
nesday evening at o'clock. and, according
to MIR. Janney, attended a general meeting
held at o'clock. at which Governor Bush
nell delivered an address of welcome, TO
which a response was made by Mr.. Robert
Treat Payne of Boston.
Thursday afternoon" said Mr.. Janney to
a Star reporter this morning, I'VE went on
an excursion on the Ohio river, eighteen
miles up stream, enjoying the picturesque
banks of the river, with the rolling hills of
Kentucky and the gradual slope of Ohio.
The excursion was a complimentary one
delegates attending the conference.
ION the excursion the committee on time
and place of the conference held a meeting,
thu chairman of which was Gen. Roeiff
Brinkerhoff of Ohio, before which appeals
were made for the next conference of tie
organization. Representatives from To-
peka Kan: Milwaukee, Wis; Des Moines,
Iowa; Portland, Greg, and our delegation
spoke in favor of their respective cities
An eloquent and convincing appeal was
made by Mr.. Herbert w. Lewis for the an
nual conference of charities and corrections
in this city in 1900. Owing, however, to tn
! fact that Topeka, Kan, had extended an
earnest invitation for the conference for
every year for the past ten years. the com
mfttee with the combined efforts of the
west, decided to meet there in 1902
"The Washington delegation believes that
| under the circumstances the decision of the
committee was Just. and therefore was not
discouraged over the result. The chances
are that a continued effort TO capture the
convention for this city in 1901 will be
made"

COLLECTION OF ART.
Pupils of Curtis school Bcautifying
Their Surroundings.

The pupils Of the various grades in the
Curtis School on o street between 32d and
33d streets, are making an effort to dec
crate the building with appropriate art
subjects in the statuary line, and SO far
have been very successful. The original
plan has not as yet been completed but is
being carried out gradually, the means at
hand being limited.
A colossal statue Of Diana the huntress,
has just been placed in the hallway of the
first floor, which Immediately catches the
eye of any one entering the main corridor
of the place The statue represents Diana,
with her outfit, one hand resting on "A deer
The piece of art is fully eight feet tail,
mounted on pedestal and surrounded by
an iron railing. In the main corridor sit
uated in corners, are colossal busts Of We
nus de Milo and Apollo Belvedere These
works of art were purchased by funds
raised through the efforts of the children.
An entertainment was held last March, at
which sufficient money was secured to pur-
chase the Diana statue
In the room of Miss E. NJ Chase the pu-
pills have made some Roadway in the col
lection Of art. A good-sized figure of Vic.
tory Samothrace adorns niche In the
walls behind the teachers desk which is
regarded as an excellent piece of art Sit.
