THE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA.
It's Second Concert Will Take Place
Tomorrow Night.

It's second Concert VIII Take Place
Tomorrow Night.
The program that Is to be played at the
second concert of the Washington Phi,har-
monic Orchestra. at the Columbia Theater
tomorrow evening, should appeal to every
music lover in Washington. 1t is of even
length. replete with attractive numbers,
and. withal, we'll balanced, so that the full
powers of the orchestra will be brought
out to advantage. The soloists who will
assist the orchestra will round out the
program in a very desirable way. They
are Mrs. H. Clay Browning, soprano, who
needs no introduction to a Washington
audience; Mr.. Charles A. Rabold, one of
BaltimoreS hest baritone singers and Miss
Bertha Thiele, harpist. AS far the az
tistic merit of the program and orchestra
is concerned. the success of the concert IS
assured while the advance sale of seats,
which has been going on for some days at
Droops music store, indicates that the con-
cert will be much more literally patroniZed
than was the first of the series. The ex-
ample of the Washington Lodge of Elks in
coming forward to the support of the or
chestra by taking a large block of seats
some time ago for this concert has had the
effect of stimulating local pride in the or
chestra as a Washington musical institu-
ton, and the outcome has been q much
larger advance of seats than characterized
the first appearance of the orchestra in
December. This orchestra should receive
the support of every music lover in the
city, for on its success will be determined
whether the national capital shall have a
permanent symphony orchestra. 1t should
be q matter of local pride that Washington
is able to assemble such body of musi-
clans. and the citizens should rally to its
support by crowding the Columbia Thea

handed him a $50 bill and at the same
time asked for first-class seat. The fell
low would never have been noticed, but he
made a remark about Washington being
"a jay town. and as the treasurer looked
up he noticed that one of the speakers
front teeth was gone. Directly behind this
man came a treasury clerk. who had re-
ceived a hundred-dollar bill in part pay
ment for his months services to Uncle
Sam and he thought 1t would be good
chance to get change. This change con-
tained the aforementioned twenty-dollar
bill, and the next day the sensational dis
covery that twenty-dollar counterfeit
was in circulation was made at the treas
ury. The clerk examined his roll of money.
and finding he had couple Of twenties,
took them down to the expert, who pro-
nounced one of them worthless. The clerk
remembered where he had received the bill
and came down to the box office In
| hurry. AS it happened. Mr. Stein remem-
bered the stranger who had given him a
| bill of that denomination and also recalled
| the absent tooth in his description which
| he gave to the special detective who was
with the clerk. Upon that slender thread
! the detective took up the case; worked 1t
up to the hotels and then over to Newark.
N J., where the pusher of the queer was
| located. and he proved to be the man
with the absent tooth.
