This week has witnessed the local
apotheosis of the tuneful negro. Two
grand concerts have been given in our
largest hall by Samuel Coleridge-T ayl or
an eminent composer and negro, resi-
dent in London. The musical compost
tons were of high order and we're gwen
before an audience of three or four
thousand people among whom were 10
be seen generals, naval officers and mem
bers of the Cabinet. besides probably a
thousand other lovers of music. All the
vocal performers were, like their leader,
negroes including famous soloists and
a chorus of two hundred. The only part
ofthe execution that was sharply criticised
in the local press was orchestral deficien-
cies and bad execution of the U. S.
Marine Band, which may perhaps be re-
ferred to the circumstances that several
members of it were present under duress
and privately announced that they had
no stomach for "a niger show" 1t
must be added that the audience was we'll
dressed, many being richly and expen-
sively attired, in silks, picture hats and
white kids and pink satin opera cloaks.
If Uncle Tom could have seen it from his
cabin door it would have thrown him

Farmers who desire to improve the
condition of the soil of their farms and
largely increase their crops, say from 40
to 800 per cent, should send to the De-
partment of Agriculture for a package of
bacteria, and the direction for using it.
The discovery has been made by DR..
George T. Moore that all the pod-bearing
plants, known as legunles, such as peas,
beans, alfalfa, etc, have nodules upon
their roots which are filled with millions
of bacteria the function of which is 10
absorb nitrogen from the air and furnish
it to the plant for food. The soil aud the
seeds can be inoculated with these bac-
terra, very easily and effectively, and the
Department will send to those who ask,
enough for all practical purposes with
simple directions how to increase the sup
ply. Just now many packages are being
sent to California, where planting is in
progress. 1t is expected that in the flu
ture several mercantile establishments
will conduct the business of growing
bacteria and supplying the demand. Re-
suits thus far have been marvellous. The
process is especially adapted to poor soils.

preparing for the great celebration of the
22d in honor of the anniversary of the birth

onstration closed yesterday when the last
of the parade passed the reviewing stand,
many hundred flags and banners from
business houses and residences are paying
continuous tribute to the memory of George
Washington. The citizens feel much salts
faction over the demonstration, and are
proud of the fact that in paying respect to
the name of Washington Alexandria took
precedence of all the cities of the country
The members of the celebra ton association
are convinced that many more people from
other cities would have been in attendance
had it not been for the bad weather in the
morning, but with the thousands who came
from Washington and the hundreds from
other points, augmenting the local popua-
ton. which was out in full force there was
crowded and enthusiastic gathering all
along the line of march
The military display was considered to be
a grand and inspiring spectacle. and the
other divisions of the parade came in for
generous share of admiration from the
onlookerS. Not only the members of the
association, but the chairmen of commit
tees and committeeman worked hard and
faithfully for the success of the affair, and
all are convinced that their labors were
fully rewarded.
The annual Masonic banquet in honor of
Washington was held last evening by the

failed Now. however, a plan, which has
enlisted the support, of the postmasters of

POLICE OFFICER, RETIREs.
Sergeant Henry B. Elliott Appointed
His Successor-The Resigna-
ton Surprise.

The District Commissioners have accepted
the resignation of John Kenney, lieutenant
OF the tenth police precinct, and promoted
Sergt. Henry B. Elliott of the sixth precinct
to succeed him. jeremiah J. Murphy of the
tenth precinct was promoted to fill the
vacancy caused by the advancement of
Elliott.
Lieut.. Kenney' 5 resignation came as a sur
prise to the members of the force, with the
exception of few officials. He leaves the
department to accept a position with a
wholesale firm in Philadelphia where he
VIII receive salary about double what he
has been receiving from the District. Lieut..
kenney was an exceedingly active member
of the department and Major Sylvester
realizes that lie is losing a helpful assist
ant. John henney was appointed mem
Der of the police force in 1888. He received
his appointment shortly after he left the
government service. He had a varied ex-
perience as a trooper. and afterward went
on the Greedy relief expedition to the coast
of Greenland
Sergt. Elliott. who succeeds him. is we'll
and fayorably known TO the members of
the department. lie is a good discipline
rian and enjoys the reputation of being a
just man. His record since his appointment
on the force in 1889 las been excellent. and
men who have served under him are sincere
in their congratulations. He was a trooper
In the 9th Cavalry prior to the time of his
appointment on the force.
He will be mounted and given the COM
mand relinquished by his predecessor
jeremiah Murphy Also Promoted.
jeremiah j. Murphy, who is to be full
sergeant. is by no means a stranger to the
older members of the force. Before going
to the tenth precinct he did duty in George
town and has always been regarded as
man who was to be depended upon. While
in the cavalry service he participated in an
Indian campaign, and was henored for
bravery. Indians outnumbered the soldiers
and Murphy rode almost to the enemys
line and rescued his captain, who had been
wounded. 1t was due entirely to Murphys
bravery that the captain s life was saved.
He has also been commended in general
| orders by the police department for bravery
and good judgment.
