who are members of the PyznpyklZ ORA
matte Club gave an entertainment Friday
night to their fellow students and the
patrons of the institution and a number OF
friends The club gave two performances.
A conspicuous feature of the evening was
the total absence of the masculine sex
The first production was Evelyn Simms'

consisted of three acts, and was made up
of good laughing material. The cast was
composed of Miss Turner, Miss Grichton,
Miss Bradley, Miss Thoroughbred, MISS
Young and Miss Bement

ers." drama by George NJ. Baker, in two
acts. 1t abounded in melodramatic situ-
ations. and climaxes followed In quick
succession. The cast included Miss FTisbee.
Miss Hill. Miss Bailey. Miss Brodie, Miss
NAPLES Miss Crichton. Miss Orr Miss
White Miss Goodyear and Miss Lloyd.
The young ladies assuming masculine
characters in both plays acquitted them
selves most acceptably. their efforts receiv-
ing the hearty appreciation of the large au-
dience.
The entertainment was entirely under the
direction of the young ladies OF the ciup.
THE officers of the club follow: President.

The Boston Festival Orchestra.

What the audience at the New National
Theater last evening lacked in point Of
numbers was more than offset by the de-
gree Of enthusiasm that greeted the work
of the Boston artists. The Festival Or
chestra is not unknown to Washington
music-lovers. 1t is a well-balanced body
of instrumentalists under the very able d.
rection Of Prof Emil Mollenhauer. The
program rendered last evening was we'll
selected and dignified one. There are in
all fifty performers in the company, and
each number of the program was superbly
interpreted. The program opened With an
delightful tone portrayal Of the Morse
type, rich with Scandinavian mysticisms.
It was a mastery piece of work, and Con-
ductor Molle mia was called number nun
the enthusiastic applause. symphonic
poem called Don JUAN" by Richard
Strauss, followed. 1t was composition
that belongs to a class of musical work
that will require exercise of much reason
ing process to ever popularize. Mr.. Civil
lynn Miles sang the prologue from Il Pa
gliaccf' in excellent style He Yves In
splendid voice, and was accorded an ova-
tion. He responded to an encore with
Tschaikowskis Spanish Serenade."
Mr.. Risegari played saint-Saens' piano
concerto No. 2 In g minor. He is a young
artist and a stranger to Washington audi
ences, but his conscientious and expressive
work made a distinct hit with his audi
tors In response to hearty encore he
gave a very meritorious rendition of a
Chopin prelude The orchestra played VIII
hemjs setting Of the famous Bach air in G
exquisitely and closed the first part of the
program with rendition Of the Tam
hauser" overture with finish and orches-
trail effect rarely heard in this city. The
third act of Gounod's Faust" comprised
part two of the program. introducing Miss
Sexton as Marguerite, Miss Milford as
Siebel and Martha, Mr. Cowper as Faust
and Mr.. Martin as Mephisto. The ensem-
BILE work was particularly fine. Miss Null
ford's mezzo voice showed good quality
throughout. and Miss Sections voice was
best in the higher register. Mr.. Martin
gave a pleasing Interpretation Of Mephisto,
his voice being full and rich. Mr.. Cowper's
voice was not strong enough for the
higher passages of his 'Salve di mora
song, but he gave a fairly satisfactory
rendition Of the role. Certainly, the high
character Of the orchestra's work should
insure them a much larger audience on
their next appearance.

fully spread with good things to satisfy the
appetites of all. After the table was rolled
away the meeting was called to order by the
President, c. A. LevanSeller, and the rec
ords of the last meeting were read and ac-
cepted. AS the time was flying vote was
taken to retain the officers in their respec-
tive places for another year, and another
vote to change the date of meeting to the

A Thrilling Incident in the History of a
Home. Health Wrecked by Burden OF
Anxiety. Ordinary Medicines Did Not
Help. DIR. Williams Pink Pills Cure.
Some important facts bearing on an ex.
citing event which occurred in January OF
1908, have recently been brought to light
At that time, il Will be recalled, an en-
plOyee was reported to have made an at
tempt to stab his employer, Mr. J. A.
Wyatt The murderous purpose fortunate
ly failed, and the courts disposed of the
legal aspects of the case. The public ex-
element died down, but the matter had
other grave results, which for long time
threatened to make it a tragedy. Mrs.
Wyatt, who had been Frustrated by anxiety
for her husband did not recover from the
severe shock to her nervous system, and the
doctors in charge of the case exerted them
selves in vain to help her.
To reporter who visited her home at
No. 1889 Seventh street, DesMoines, Iowa,
Mrs. Wyatt described her condition at this
time, as follows:
"My solicItude was so great that il
affected my heart and then my stomach.
had pain in the region of the heart, palpita-
ton and shOrtness of breath SO that
could not walk very fast My head ached
very badly and l was finally seized with
vomiting spells whenever l took any food,
doctor was called who pronounced the
trouble gastritis, but he gave me no relief
Then tried a second doctor without bene-
fit. BY this time l had become very weak
could not keep the most delicate broth on
my stomach, and at the end of month
was scarcely more than skin and bone and
was really starving to death.
81 don't look now like woman just ready
to die, do l? Well, owe the recovery Of
my health to very simple circumstance
One day when l was dOwn-hearted at the
failure Of everything that had been done fol
me l recalled how much benefit my sisteI
had got from DIR. Williams Pink Pills and
decided to take them in place of the doc
tors medicine. They helped me right away
In four days / could take weak ten ani
crackers. In two weeks was able to leave
my bed. DR.. Williams Pink Pills were tn,
only thing that checked the vomiting and u
soon as that was stopped my other Difficult
ties left me. l have vigorous appetit,
now and am able to attend to all the dutie'
of my home"
Not only great anxieties but small daily
worries use up nervous force, and In multi
tudes of such cases every organ of the bod,
finally gets out Of order, for the nerves sup
ply the vital energy to every part. Case
like these do not yield to ordinary medi
cines. They are reached and prompt!
