PIANOlA RECITAL A SUCCESS.
Fourth One of Season Given Last Even
ing at Knabe Hall.

The fourth aeolian and pianola recital
of the season was given last night at
Knabe Hall, and like those in the earlier
part of the season it proved great sue
cess. The pianola is being continually
perfected and is now splendid example
of what ingenuity may effect
In solo numbers its work is almost be-
yond criticism and its adaptability to
voice accompaniment has come to be re-
garded as one of the great achievements
in recent musical history.
In listening TO one of these accompani-
ments il is almost impossible to believe
that it is not played by a human being
so accommodating may it be rendered by
the person operating it.
The recital last night only served to
prove that the pianola is fast taking high
rank among the great inventions of the
age. The program was well chosen and
highly entertaining, the opening number
being Rossinis overture to William
excellent style. The Grand Offertoire
dc Cecilia" was also played by the
aeolan as the closing number.
The selections reserved for the pianola
included Herbert's "Badinage." Stetson's
"Pavane." Schuberts "Erl King" and
the Sylvia Ballet" by Delibes.
The soloist OF the evening was Mrs
". l.. Wilson, who pleased the audience
in several well-known songs, among
which were Hawley's Because | Love
You. Dear" Nevin's The Rosary" and
"a Song OF Thanksgiving. by Allittsen.

When President Roosevelt went down
the south steps OF the White House yes
terday afternoon to go riding with Civil
Service Commissioner Proctor and Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the forestry division OF

horse had a sore shoulder. After looking
him over he decided not to ride him. He
mounted the orderly's cavalry horse and
went off without the soldier guard. He
did not even change saddles.

waiting for the President at the west

him up Pennsylvania Avenue.

MAKE REQUESTS FOR TREES.
District Commissioners Reserve Number
of Applications From Citizens.

Mr. Austin NJ Cooper, of 1913 Half
Street southwest. has requested that trees
be planted in front of his premises. Mr.
Trueman Lanham, Superintendent of
Parking, in reporting upon the appliea-
tion, states that the street is not yet up
to grade. and has neither curb nor side
wolk. Therefore he recommends that no
planting be done until these improve
ments are made.
A similar request has been received by
the District Commissioners from DR.. W.
w. Alleger, of 1873 U Street northwest,
who states that four spaces in the side
walk for trees have been overlooked. Mr..
Lanham states that the holes for young
trees have not been prepared, and he
recommends that the planting be deferred
until the next fiscal year.
Mr.. C. B. Smith, of POI Washington
Street. Anacostia, has requested that
trees in front of his home be trimmed. or
that he be given permission to trim them.

CABINET DISCUSSES
RATES OF POSTAGE
Injunction Suits Growing Out
of Premium Publications.
Postoffice Department to Contest Cases
Final Settlement in the
- Courts.

At the regular session OF the Cabinet
yesterday there was a discussion of the
situation with regard to second class mail
matter brought about by order of the
Postmaster General issued last fall bar
ring from the second class privileges the
class of so-called premium publications.
The question was brought up by Post
master General Payne because of the new
phase of the situation growing out of
suits for injunction covering thirteen pub
lications which were brought to restrain
the Postoffice Department from interfer-
ing with the carriage OF such publications
as second-class matter.
The matter was considered important
enough to merit Cabinet discussion, in
asmuch as the weight of premium publi-
cations sent yearly through the malls is
enormous. and their classification under
the cent-a-pound rate will materially in
crease the revenues derived from the
postal service and lessen the annual def
cit in corresponding degree. In addi-
tion to this the suits for injunction now
pending are looked upon as test cases.
and therefore of great Importance.
Upon his return from the Cabinet meet
ing Postmaster General Payne sent for
Third Assistant Postmaster General Mad
den. who is in charge of the fight against
the premium publishers, and had an ex-
tended conference with him. 1t is the
purpose of the department to contest the
issuance of the injunctions and to present
such arguments before the courts In New
York, Boston and Philadelphia as they
hope will secure an affirmation of the
legality Of the dpDartrnpnt'S order and
settle finally the disputed question as to
whether the Postmaster General was act
ing within his power in issuing the regu-
lation concerning premium publications.

Mckinley met yesterday and directed
Representative Grosvenor. chairman Of

port on the resolution extending the
thanks of Congress to Secretary Hay for

mortal exercises.

souri, while not voting against the reso-
luton, reserved the right to oppose it on
the floor OF the House, saying that as a
phrase maker" Secretary Hay had no
superiors and few equals. unless it be
Grover Cleveland. While he admitted the
address was a magnificent literary effort.
he said that it was the most ingenious
Republican campaign document that he
had ever heard, and he doubted II Secre
tary LAY should be thanked by Congress
for making a political speech.
Representative Grosvenor took eXcep-
tion to the characterization by Secretary
Hay of the civil war as war between
