a strange thrill of joy when the palsied
Christian begins to use his arm again,

Baron Won Franckenstein's Recital

a very fashionable audience gathered at
the New Willard yesterday afternoon to
hear rendered by the composer and a corps
Of assistant artists the musical writings Of
Baron Clemens Won Franckenstein, a gen.
tleman well known in Washington socially
AND somewhat distinguished musically. The
occasion was chiefly noteworthy because of
the intelligent and splendid singing of Mrs.
Morris Black, the contralto, who was heard
with such marked delight in the recent
performance of Verdi's MaZzoni Requiem
by the local choral society. Mrs. Black
more than sustained the high standard es-
t2bliShed in the requiem and retired after
her second offering amid the most insistent
handclapping. The composer accompanied
all the artists at the piano.
The first number of the program en-
braced four songs for Mrs Black, modern
in treatment. well put together and easily
within the musical grasp of the composer.
G minor for the violin and was interpreted
by Mr.. John Spargur. The violinist played
we'll and the accompaniment was well done,
but the impression prevailed among the mu-
siclans present that the theme and varia-
tons did not rank with the songs Mr.
William A. Wegener, tenor with a good
voice and pleasing method, sang series of
five songs and was vigorously applauded
Then came Mrs. Blacks final Offering
three sOngs-in the course of which she
scored positive triumph with the second
movement of a composition entitled Gee
s0enge Rautendelein's." Mr.. Wegener
brought the entertainment to a close with
or and orchestra, but rendered yesterda Y
with violin obligato by Mr.. Spargur The
work was entitled 'Impenitentia Ultima, -
and was very pleasantly done.

DEFECTIVE TREES.
Georgetown Citizens Criticise Those
Planted on u Street.

The District Commissioners have received
complaint from a number of residents in
Georgetown calling attention to the fact
that the trees recently planted on U street
between Valley and 31st streets are knot
ty, gnarled and crooked" The complain
ants invite a comparison between these
trees and those planted about two years
ago on L street between Both and 36t n
streets, which are straight and free from
defects. They declare the condition of the
trees in front of their homes indicates the
leavings of the nursery Trueman Lam
ham, superintendent of parking, has re-
ported on the matter, saying the trees last
planted are Norway naples, and a pecu-
liarity of their earlier growth is that they
are crooked and knotty as described when
young, but that after a few years growth
they become straight and attractive trees.
He says the trees planted We're of good
stock and as good as the nursery could at
ford. The other trees referred to in COM
pariSon, he said, are sugar naples, which
grow straight from the earliest years.

NOT CoCHNoWER's BODY.
Hotel Clerk Alive and With His
Mother in St Louis.

1t has been definitely decided that the
body of a well-dressed young man, which
was washed ashore at Bryan's Point two
weeks ago, and which was believed to
have been partly identified, is not the body
of George F. Cochnower, the hotel clerk
who disappeared three months ago. Coch-
mower is at the home of his mother in st.
Louis, according to message received
yesterday by his father, George W. Coch-
mower, who lives in this city. The young
mans wife, who lives at Greencastle, Pa,
has also been informed of the whereabouts
of her husband.
When the body was found shortly after
the freshet Mr. Cochnower went to Bryan's
Point on the police boat. The clothing
on the body was similar to that which his
son had worn, although the face of the
dead man was in such condition that it
could not be recognized. Mr.. Cochnower
was almost convinced that the body was
that of his son and he only awaited addi-
tional proof of Identification before remov-
ing the body to a local cemetery.
