bined musical clubs of the University of

commented upon, and insures large au-
dience tomorrow evening. The program will
be made up Of selections by the glee banjo
and mandolin clubs, some of the numbers
being compositions of the members, and
the others attractive arrangements of pop
ular contemporaneous music. The patron
esses for the concert are Mrs. John Hay,
Mrs. Charles Emory Smith, Miss Wilson,
Mrs. Charles H. Allen, Mrs. Horace Grey,
Mrs. ]. Addison Porter, Mrs. Audenreid,
Mrs. A. E. Bateman, Mrs. George W. Childs,

THE NEW GRAND OPERA HOUSE
The New Grand will be occupied next week
by the Ninth Continental Congress of the
National Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution and there will be no
vaudeville performances during that period.
The week following, beginning February
20. the great Behman show, as it is called,
will be the attraction. This company is
made up of nine headline" acts Including
the wonderful Rossow midgets Frank and
Charlie, the smallest athletes, pugilists and
wrestlers of any country, and the -Four
Cohans, presenting George Cohan's latest
comedy, Running for Office
THE BANDA ROSSA,"-The Banda
Rosa the famous Italian band under the
leadership of Signor Eugenio Sorrentino re-
turns to Washington Sunday and will give
two concerts at the Columbia Theater on
that day-matinee at o'clock and evening
at S:l5. This band scored a decided artistic
success when 1t appeared here on a previous
tour, on account of its unique ensemble and
the remarkable effects that are produced.
The playing of this band is unlike any of
the concert bands with which we are famil-
lar. For precision, absolute control of nu-
ance and startling climaxes it is alike I'M
equalled. The tone quality is always rich
and smooth, even in the most overwhelming
fortes. The italian composers are more fire.
Quently programmed by Sorrentino than
others. This is but natural, and the amount
of fine feeling and grace Of phrasing and
sentiment that is thrown by conductor and
men into the rendition Of selection from
an Italian opera is simply irresistible. The
seat sale il open at GuZman's, in Drops.

All good farmers will have a
good deal of grain in before this
month is out. Oats ought to be
in the ground now. But watch
the thriftless farmer. He will
let October pass without getting
any grain sown, likewise Novem-
ber perhaps. The chances are
that he can SOW hut little in De-
cember, and if be gets it sown it
will make little or nothing. Then
hear the excuses he will make, all
of which amount to nothing but
ineNCuSahle neglect. One will
say he was afraid "the fly" would
eat his oats if they came up before
freezing weather; another that it
does not pay to SOW oats in the
fall, they get killed out so badly:
another that January is the best
n o TN to SOW, therefore he sows
in March and wastes his seed.
All arguments for late sowing
are contradicted by the best farms
erS and by experience, at least of
late wears. Nearly every bushel
of oats bought for seed grows
from seed sown before frost,
Farmers who SOW in Decem her,
january, or later, don't sell oats.
They nearly always buy thsir
own seed. Chester Lantern.
