No more important patriotic work has
ever been done by the Choral Society than
the presentation next Tuedsay night of
Prof. Horatio Parker's work "Hora No
vissima." There are three American COM

the head of musical composition In this
country. These are Edward A. Mac Dow
ell, professor of music at Columbia; Arthur

Writings works are but little known
abroad; Prof. MacDowelEs are played by
piano and by orchestra in Germany to a
certain extent Prof. Parkers, and particu-
larly 'Hora Novissima," bid fair to be as
well known in England as in America.
Starting with the performance at Wor-
cester, England. of "Hora Novissima" in
1899. Prof. Parker's personality and COM
positions made so marked a success that
he was asked to present a new work at
the great Hereford festival of 1900 an
honor never before conferred on an Ameri-
can. For this occasion he wrote his latest
composition, "A Wanderers Psalm For
1901 "Hora NoviSsima' is announced for
presentation in London by the Royal Cho-
raj Society, the most distinguished of all
the great singing societies of Great Britain.
1t is to the credit of music-loving Wash
ington that the advance sale for next

the composer on his first appearance in
the capital of his own country.
The supporting artists are Mrs. Marie
Kunkel Zimmerman, Miss Gertrude May
Stein, Mr.. f. G. Towne and DIR. Thomas

Believed to Have Aided in Attempted
Robbery at BrOokland.

The burglars who entered the post Office
at Brookland at an early hour yesterday
morning and left before they used an ex-
plcsive or succeeded in throwing the lock,
as published in yesterdays Star, have not
been apprehended Detectives Boyd and
Parham are working on the case, but as the
men are supposed to have left this section
the officers hardly expect to accomplish
much in the near future. They have as
certained that two strange men visited
BroOkland Tuesday morning and one OF
them was in the post office building, which
Is also occupied as a real estate office. Po-
fceman Stroman of the eighth precinct
saw the men and talked to one of them.
The policeman yesterday afternoon visited
Inspector Boardman's office at police head
quarters and identified a photograph in the
rogue's gallery as the likeness of one of the
TWO strangers who spent part of Tuesday
at BrOokland.
While the man identified is said to have n
record, he Is not known safe blower.
Inc police departments of other cities will
be asked to lend assistance, and the one
whose photograph has been identified may
be apprehended. So far police reports
show, no safe has been blown in this sec
ton of the country since the 14th of the
month, when the Marlboro post Office was
visited and robbed of considerable money
and stamps. Two months ago several
pest offices between Falls Church and Hern-
although the burglars got but little money
and but small number Of stamps for their
trouble. They stole a horse and wagon
and drove to Edwards Ferry, where the
team was abandoned and the men crossed
the river into Maryland. Shortly afterward
the Sandy Spring Bank was blown, and in
this case the burglars also took team
from a stable and abandoned it near the
railroad tracks.
The night of the robbery of the Marlboro
pest office the safe-blowers took a team
from Hess & Co. florists. at Highlands.
and drove to Marlboro. evidently coming
to within short distance of this city 1t
Is believed they stole some tools from
tool box at Marr's station on the Chesa-
peake Beach railroad, and used them at
Marlboro. Some time after the post office
was robbed fire was seen in the woods on
what Is known the Forest road, not far
from Marlboro, where, it is believed, the
men stopped to divide their plunder. The
wagon that was used by the men and after
ward abandoned was seen on the road by a
ycung man named Smith. He saw only
one man in the wagon. and he thinks he
can identify him. The post office inspectors
as well as other officials are working on the
different cases.
