AMUSEMENTS.

Ebert HUBBARD'S LECTURE.-El-
bert Hubbard lectured last night. Many
people went to hear him, expecting to be
disappointed. None were. He is neither a
fake nor wild-eyed crank but a man who
has taken life and its duties so seriously
that people stop to look at him. He makes
epigrams while you wait. He said, among
many other things quite as good:
Don't sit down and imagine You have
enemies. Hatred is only egotism gone to
seed"
ITO be happy you must do something
for somebody
"One may endure grief; but it takes two
for JOY
Sin is only energy nhsapplied.'
Mr.. Hubbards speech is interesting be-
cause he assumes to speak with practical
knowledge concerning matters which have
heretofore been considered only abstract
theories. He favors the extension of the
kindergarten idea into the higher-even the
h.gkest-branches of artistic education. He
has taken the crudest workmen in his Roy
croft print shop, and trained them so that
the product is admired by bibliophi.cs. How
he did this makes a story well worth the
hearing as a matter of simple entertain
ment: for the lecturers personality is
droll, when he chooses to make it so. And
the conditions he portrays as existing in
his shops Is worthy the earnest consdera-
ton of every person who Is interested IN
social questions.
KELLOGG BIRD CARNIVAL.-The en-
tertatnment Of the Kellogg Bird Carnival
and Concert Company at the Columbia
Theater yesterday afternoon for the benefit
of the National Junior Republic at Annapo-
lis junction, Md, attracted a large and
fashionable audience, most of the patron
esses as previously announced in The Star
being prominent among those present The
carnival was a decidedly interesting affair,
and. together with the musical program
rendered made up a unique and clever per-
formance. Mr.. Kelloggs talks on the diff
ferent varieties of birds as their pictures
were thrown upon the screen were enter
tanning, while his limitations of their war
blngs, songs and calls We're astonishing in
their vivid likeness to the original. Mr..
Kellogg has won favorable commendation
the world over upon his extraordinary abli
ties Yesterday he was assisted by Mrs.
Emily Stuart Kellogg in soprano solos, and
Miss Kate Hun Bunday in piano selections.
The singing of Mrs. Emily Stuart Kellogg
was not only a great delight, but a surprise
as well. at least to those who understand
the quality and range of the vocal organs.
While her voice Is a true contralto of Won
derful sweetness and power and dramatic
quality. yet with perfect smoothuess of
tone she sings from lower 6 to b fiat in
alt. and with such ease that her audience
does not realize the wonderful range. but
only that the melody fills one with delight.
a further surprise and pleasure was given
in the piano work of Miss Kate Hull Bundy.
1t is wonder that a woman, and a very
young woman at that, can play did Miss
Bundy. Her technique is not only brilliant
hut tu,l of expression, and she possesses the
true musical spirit to such a degree that
she does not subordinate the thought or
feeling which the composer intended to con-
vey to an exposition of her own skill. but
allows her ympathy with the mind of the
composer to entirely dominate her work
