last evening at the Washington Club. ITO

trey were crowded by a cultured audience,
many lovers of classical music defying the
weather to be present. The performers
were Mr.. Anton Gloetzner, pianist Mr.. An
ton kaspar, violinist; Mrs. w. L. Wilson,
soprano, and Mr.. ]. Finckel, VIOLA The
opening number was Olbersebens sonata
for piano and viol. opus H. 1t was re-
marked that compositions for piano and
viola are rare and this is one of the few in
existence. 1t was given by Messrs. Gloetz-
ner and Finckel in mastery style. Mrs.
Wilson sang the aria from the Queen of
Sheba. by Gounod; Mr.. Kaspar played n
fantasia from Faust, by Sarasate; Mrs Will
son next sang spring song, by We'll. with
violin obligato; the List polonaise in E
major was performed by Mr. Gloetzner, and
to close the program Messrs. Gloetzner and
kaspar interpreted the sonata, opus As, by
Grieg, for piano and violin. All acquitted
themselves with the utmost credit and the
concert, so the general opinion was is to be
classed as a notable event in local musical
circles.

ANACOSTIA AFFAIRS.
Clinics at st. EIizabeth's OxOn Hill
Wants Post Office.

Clinical classes for the senior year medi-
cal students of the Georgetown and ColIn-
bian Universities are to be conducted
weekly hereafter at St. Elizabeths Asylum.
The first of the sessions was held Monday
evening last. The plan of holding these
clinical classes at St. Elizabeth's is a new
one at the institution, and has the sane
ton of DR.. Richardson, the superintendent,
and other physicians. In past years. 1t is
stated, medical students of the District
have seen but little of the various forms of
insanity, at least not as much as might
be observed at an institution like St. Eliza
beth's 1t is felt that with such an institu-
ton as the government hospital close by,
the opportunity for observing insanity
should be utilized in the manner stated, as
is the custom in state asylums for the in
sane, it is said.
Residents of Oxon Hill, Prince Georges
county. Md, and that vicinity have pre-
pared petition to the post office authors
ties requesting that fourthclass post Of
flee be established at Oxon Hill. A couple
of years ago the post Office a OXon Hill
was removed to Gainesville, three four
miles away, and since that time residents
of the section about OXon Hill have been
securing their mail at the Anacostia or
Congress Heights offices. 1t is considered
likely that the post office will be granted
when the petition is forwarded.
A social was given Tuesday evening at
the rectory of the Emmanuel Protestant
Episcopal Church, the residence of Rev.
and Mrs w. G. Davenport Maple avenue,
Anacostia. by the Junior Daughters of the
King of the church. Musical selections
were rendered during the evening by the
Misses Linda Leapley, Mary Leapley. Mary
Tolson and MIR. John Arendes. Each per-
son in attendance presented the society
with penny for each year of the donors
age, and in this way a sum was realized for
the organizations Easter offering 10 the
church.

CITY AND DISTRICT.


The Proper Organization of the City
G 1vernment' was the subject considered by
Prof E Dana Durand in his lecture at the
Central High School Tuesday evening. The
lecturer spoke of the tendency toward con-
ceat-ation of power in the hands of the
mayor in American cities, and considered
the relative advantages of government by
4 mayor and by a council. He expressed
himself emphatically in favor of restoring
q large measure of power to city councils
as a means Of securing the election of bet
ter coUnCilmen and a more truly represen-
tative government. The cabinet system of
government was suggested being espe-
Cialy we'll adapted to cities.
The discussion of the lecture was opened
by Mr.. F l. SiddonS. who was followed by
Mr.. Henry Farquhar and others. Mr.. Stu
dUns agreed with the lecturer in preferring
government by an elective council. His
remarks led to an interesting discussion of
the practicability of limiting the suffrage
in municipal elections by property or edu-
catinnal qualifications.
Municipal Corruption and Municipal Re-
form is the subject of the lecture for next
Tuesday evening.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

Acting upon the suggestion of one of the
white trustees, who has discovered and is
anxious to confess the merit of Dr. Rich
ardson as associate trustee, as well as
upon my own knowledge of the character
of the man. L would respectfully ask that
you correct the impression which the anon
ymouS letter read the other day before
the Senate committee must have given, to
the effect that DR.. Richardson appointed
his daughter as teacher in the kindergarten
schools without warrant and against the
interest of our school system. The ap
pointee referred to was pupil of the High
School, graduate and postgraduate OF
the Pollock kindergarten Institute. Under
the direction Of Prof. Gregory she COM
pleted course in English mathematics and
German, suf1iclent to make her quallfica-
tons equivalent, if not superior, to a high
school training, thus conforming to the
educational requirements.
BY reference to the minutes of the pro-
ceedings of the board of trustees at meet
ing held July IA, 1898. it will be seen that
the writer of the anonymous letter was
not only ignorant of the facts, but was
an enemy to the school system. 1t Is I'M
fortunate that a letter should be accepted
by the Senate investigating committee
which could not stand the light of popular
criticism and which reflected upon a trus-
tee who has the courage of his convictions
and who has done much to advance the
educational interests of my race as any
trustee who has ever been appointed, with
out exception. There may be an attempt
on the part or. some to centrallZe the man.
agement of schools, whereby the progress
i've tendency of the colored people may be
ignored, but a Capitalization of directing
power would imply a mixing of the sys-
tenn and an indication that the schools
from bottom to top should be mixed. There
may be some difference of opinion among
my people but l feel that We should have
an opportunity to demonstrate our ability
to manage our own schools without inter-
ference or supervision by the white people.
Gross injustice has been done DR.. Rich
ardson, who Is par excellence our trustee,
and ask that you will permit this to be in
serted in the columns Of your paper, to cor
rect a wrong and far-reaching impression.

IN DEFENSE OF DIR. RICHARDSON.
Ihe circumstances of His Daughters
Appointment as a Teacher.


Appointment as a Teacher.
10 the Editor of The Evening Star:
Permit me to contradict the imputation
published to the effect that DIR. George H.
Richardson irregularly and through IA
Voritism appointed his daughter teacher
in the kindergarten schools of this city.
Miss Richardson is a graduate and post
graduate of the kindergarten Institute and
possesses qualifications which fully meet
the law and the requirements of a teacher.
The minutes Of the meeting of the board
of trustees held July IA, 1898, show that the
name of Miss Richardson was submitted
with the regular list of teachers first APP
pointed, and her appointment was ap-
proved by the board along with the 9TH
ers. Her eligibility has never been ques-
toned by the board; on the contrary, the
kindergarten committee, Of which DR..
richardson is not a member, submitted
Miss Richardson's name for reappointment
last June, and the recommendation of the
committee was approved by the board. L
nave no hesitancy in saying that DIR. Rich
ardson has acted consistent and faith
full trustee ever since his appointment on
the board as thousands in the city who are
truly interested in the schools will testify.
