The past week proved the record
breaker for the renewal of old stage &C
quaintances. and furthermore gave
Washingtonians an opportunity to judge
how well many of its own recruits to
the stage are acquittfng themselves.
Five members of the company support

theater public of Washington.
Walter Shannon surprised even his
best friends by his capable work in the
role OF the Spanish captain. and his
voice was far above that of any other
male member of the organization He
has so pleased the management this sea
son that on Monday night he will as
sumo the role of Eugene. the governor s
secretary, now being played by Sydney
Deane. While the role is of more i'm
portanee than the one now being es-
sayed by Mr.. Shannon, the score is writ
ten more for a tenor than baritone. Mr.
Shannon's voice is toe valuable to be
sacrificed even for conspicuous dramatic
honors.

Washington friends as Violet Dalton, is
one of the most attractive show girls

BOYS CONTEST
IN ARITHMETIC.

The large study hall of the Savannah
Preparatory School was crowded yes
terday morning by the friends and pa
irons of the school, who had gathered
to witness the second of the weekly
contests. Six contests were held by the
classes in arithmetic. The boys took
their places on a platform before a
large blackboard extending forty feet
across the room. The problems were
then given out by the instructors and
the boy, who first solved three correct
ly, was declared the winner.
The rapidity and correctness of the
students was favorably commented on
by all present, and spoke for the thor
oughness of their instruction. In sew
eral instances, the boys would add
subtract and multiply as fast as they
could put down the -ures, apparently
unaffected by the number of specta-
tors or their applause.
The winners in the several contests
were awarded a pair of silver cuff but
tons and were as follows:
Addition and subtraction, Henry
Schwarz.
Multiplication and division, Samuel
Adler.
Fractions, George Meyer.
Denominate numbers, Douglass Bull

Probably Tomorrow.
Rain is predicted to-day with a
probable continuance tomorrow. The
wind will blow fresh from the east to
southeast. The indication is that
March will be a record breaker for
heat temperature unless the weather
becomes cooler.
The following conditions existed
throughout the country yesterday, as
reported by Local Forecaster Boyer:
During the past twenty-four hours
a disturbance has developed in the
Gulf near Galveston. While no high
winds have occurred as yet, an in
crease in intensity Is very probable

weather. has caused a further drop In
temperature over that section, amount
ing to 10 to Is degrees.
Elsewhere east of the Rockies the
temperature changes have been slight.

fallen over the Carolinas, North Geor-

portion of Mississippi and Louisiana,
the coast of Texas. and at San Fran

ately by. the Margaret Bottome Cir
Gle of Kings Daughters with green
tea" The affair will be a repetition
of one given last year on the same
day, and will. no doubt, be as great a
success. 1t will probably be held in
the Hussars' shooting gallery, ut 309
Bull street, and in honor of the day
the room will be decorated in Irelands
color. The place is a central one, and
the season and day most fitting for
deeds of charity, and it is hoped that
passersby, out for pleasure. ON their
way to church, or returning home in
the late afternoon, will stop to enjoy
a cup of tea and to examine the pretty
things that will be displayed. There
will be several tables where numerous
useful and dainty handmade articles
will be offered for sale.
Mrs. William r. Leaken is president
of the circle, the charitable object of
which is the founding of a home for
