IT'S ANNUAL MEETING.
Civic Center to Assemble This Even
ing ut S:1O O'Clock.


At the annual meeting Of the Civic Center
versity this evening at $40 o'clock, a num-
Der of reports are to be presented on mat
ters having a practical bearing on the mu-
nicipal and educational life of Washing
ton. DR.. Emile Young O'Bren has made
some experiments to determine the effects
Of fatigue upon brain cells, and will pre-
sent her conclusions as to the effects upon
children Of the beginning of formal edu-
cation at too early an age.
There will also be report from the in
dustrial department, which during the past
year has conducted an investigation into
the methods OF the clothing manufacturers
of the District of Columbia, with special
reference to the possible spread Of dis
ease germs in clothing.
The principal subject to be brought be-
fore the meeting is the sanitary aspect of
the milk supply: DR.. George NJ Kober,
chairman of the public health department,
has tabulated data which he has collected
concerning $50 outbreaks of infectious dis
eases spread through the milk supply, and
will present conclusions based upon this
inquiry, after which Mr.. Raymond A. Pear
son will present a plan for the improve
ment Of the milk supply in Washington and
other cities, somewhat similar to the plan
of the Consumers League with reference
to the avoidance of sweatshop-made cloth
ing. but independently of that plan.
The report of the committee on the deaf,
blind and feeble-minded will be presented
by Prof. f. A. Fay, chairman of the COM
mittee, and the work being done with the
Civic Center's home libraries will be de-
scribed by Rev. Charles Alvin Smith.
Reports of the municipal and educational
departments will also be presented, and a
number of resolutions bearing upon pro-
posed legislation affecting the District will
probably be presented for action by the
body Surgeon General Sternberg will pre-
side and will have something to say about
the housing problem.
A president, secretary, treasurer and
members of the council are to be elected at
this meeting

WANTED TO DIE.
COlOred Woman Swallows Iodine
With Suicidal Intent.

Rebecca Thomas, colored, twenty-five
years old drank one ounce Of tincture of
iodine about l. o'clock last night with the
intention of committing suicide. She lived
at the house of John Robinson, No. 1910
7th street northwest. and last night she
had a dispute with him. When the quar-
rel was apparently over Rebecca went to
Johns room and got bottle of iodine that
he had recently purchased for use on his
corns Returning to her room she swal-
lowed the contents of the bottle, and then
announced that she would soon be dead
Her announcement was rather premature
for although there had been a quarrel John
cid not intend that she should die II he
could help it. He summoned the police,
and Rebecca was taken to Freedmen's Hos
pital, where the doctors soon relieved her
OF the iodine. Today the report is that she
will recover.

Request for Removal of Pole.

Upon the complaint of Miss Clara L.
Bishop of 1925 New Hampshire avenue. the
District Commissioners have requested the
United States Electric Lighting Company
to remove one of its poles, No. 2o6, erected
several years ago in the alley between New
Hampshire avenue and 10Th street, N and
streets. A year or two ago, stated Miss
Bishop. she appealed for the removal of the
pole through the president of the Washing
ton Humane Society, as it obstructed travel
and was as it still is, the cause of much
cruelty to horses, but was informed by the
Commissioners, she says, that as there was
no alley between New Hampshire avenue
and 10Th street, n and p, there could be
no pole.

pLAroN BRouNoFFs LECTURE RE-

CITAL. - Tomorrow night at Lutheran
Memorial Church Piaton Brounoff will give
his lecture recital on Russian life and mu-
sic. The lecture abounds in human inter-
est with humorous sidelght flashes 1t is
conceded that the much-dscussed Russians
have made tremendous strides forward in
art literature and music, forming independ-
ent schools of their own. The interest of
the audience never flags, thanks to the
fascinating way in which Brounoff presents
his subject. He is exceptionally well in
formed, and his pathos, eloquence and art
in quick succession make him most brill
liant talker. Selections will be given from
the representative Russian composers for
baritone, piano, violoncello and string
quartet. This lecture recital will without
doubt draw very large audience. 1t has
made a decided hit wherever it has been
given.

NEW BIJOU.-The opening performances

INTRODUCED into the burlesques The Hayseed
Soubrette'' and The Sapho Trial." which
makes them more humorous, and in conse-
quence, more popular with the onlookers.
The manager of this house has adopted a
new rule which will doubtless be appre-
ciated by his patrons, and that is the
strengthening of all attractions booked by
him. Last week Gus Solke and his pickan-
mines, "top-liners," were added to the show.
and this week Lew Hawkins one of the
best monologists in the vaudeville business,
is the added feature. Lew closes the olio,
and his remarks yesterday We're greeted
with many laughs. Other features on the
bill are Julia Natus. In instrumental solos;
Wallace and Allen, in q funny burlesque
skit; Hoyt and Neff. in a taking sidewalk
conversation turn; the two Simpsons play
instruments cleverly; acrobatic novelties by
Fisher and Clark and 6ulaine and Darrell
sang and danced their way into favor. A
series of living pictures are shown, which
are we'll grouped and made effective through
electrical effects, but are somewhat start

does not stand out in very great contrast
when compared with the work Of the 9TH
ers Mrs Thorndyke Boucicault is Anne
Oldtield, and gives most charming pre-
sentation of the character of the famous
actress who was the rage of the London OF
that day. Jennie Eustace does the very
difficult part of the unnatural mother with
studied and intelligent effect. Arthur Elliott
makes a very pleasing Sir Richard Steele,
the kind-hearted nobleman, patron of men
of letters and himself a genius of no mean
rank One of the best things in the play Is
Owen Fawcetts presentation of the charac-
ter Of Colley Cibber, who, according to
Macauley, mutilated the plays of two gem
erations and who was the then autocrat of
the London stage. He was what David
Garrick was a few years later, but had
neither Garrick's genius nor his generosity.
Herbert H. Pattee makes very acceptable
