CARROLL INSTITUTE.
What It's Different Branches Are En-
gagged In.

Hope Of great things for Washington has
been raised in local musical circles by the
announcement Thursday night that the
Carroll Institute choir would in the future
be known as the Cecilian Society, and
would be under the direction of Mr.. Regi-
Maid De Koven. This announcement was
coupled with the statement that the So
ciety would immedia tely begin rehearsals.
and would be put in condition to combine
with the Washington Symphony Orchestra
in concert work in the future. The Carroll
Institute choir has become one Of the
most important musical organizations OF
the city during the short year of its ex-
istence. 1t is made up of some Of the best
singers in the churches Of the District,
many prominent soloists being found in the
chorus
1t has given two public concerts, both of
which have been remarkable for the ex-
cellence of the music rendered and the
splendid training of the choir Mrs. Clara
Baker Smith, who organized 1t and directed
it at these concerts, managed to get the
very best possible work out of the singers
under her control, and the results were con-
sidered remarkable. She has been in i'll
health all winter, however, and could not
resume the duties of drectress. The last
concert of the organization was the presen-
tation of Rossinis "Stabat Mater" in
conjunction with the Washington Symphony
Orchestra. Mr.. De Koven conducted the
orchestra on this occasion and was sur
prised and pleased at the showing made by
the singers. 1t was not difficult, therefore,
to secure his services as director when it

The Naval Academy Cemetery.

1t is stated at the Navy Department that
the old cemetery at the Naval Academy is
destined for removal. 1t is proposed to
transfer 1t &c the extreme end OF the gov

In a chestnut and oak grove, back of the
hospital, to the east Of the hospital line.
This is very beautiful site, and it is es-
tmated that 1t would only cost the gov
eminent $4,000 to remove the one hum

many of the leaders Of the Hiilmen's cause

filled the temples with rice and dhall, jag

young kids from the f1ocks, and humbled
themselves before the gods lest worse
should follow.
But one thing they did before they re-
pented. They halted in their flight while
the Moslems were still in the valley and at
tackled Mahommeds stronghold, GirZa-il
Kab, with an overwhelming force. The
guard was unprepared and was butchered
to man. During the looting which fol-

ness of the cause and the uselessness of

mood. She tended her lord night and day

WORK OF JUNIOR REPUBLIC.
Woman's League Considers the Needs

@ OF the Young Citizens
The Woman's League Of the National Ju-
nior Republic held it's monthly meeting
Saturday at the home of the president.

first meeting since the election Of officers
for 1904, and Mrs. Fairbanks, in acknowl.
edgfng her reelection, thanked the ladies'
for the compliment paid her Mrs. Morton
D. Andrews, Mrs. ]. w. Pilling and Mrs
Ernest Wilkinson were elected directors.
There have been such urgent needs at
the republic that the league has never felt
able to expend money for publications. but
the time has come. in the judgment of the
members, when the demand for printed
matter must be met. A booklet was ac-
cordingly ordered, and will soon be issued
Several inquiries had been made to the
league as to how the money was procured
to enable some of the older citizens of the
republic to attend college not far dis

The ladies of Baltimore have contributed
tools, and a carpenters class has been
formed. A lady of this city will in the
spring give lumber for a chapel on the
grounds. and it is expected that this class
will materially aid in it's construction.
Another item regarded as interesting is
that citizen Of the republic is teaching

confident and aggressive, considering the
crushing defeats of the last ten days. Mass
ed in strong positions on the OUTSKIRTS OF
Khatmandu, they more than held their
own, fiinging back the Hillsmen's rushes In
their old-time gallant style.
Lalkura and the White Rose were every
where cheering their people on, but again
and again the cry went up for their Moslem
allies. Where was Mahommed? Where was
Mahommed? questioned the leaders as they
came bloody and weary from charge after
charge, and no one could answer.
They had undertaken the blood,est tactics
of war, a frontal attack without guns
against troops with them, on the under
standing that the Moslems would support
them by flank attack on the capital. This
their allies had for some unknown reason
failed to do. STILL recOllecting the lateness
of Mahommed's attack on the first day OF
the fight, they kept at the work bravery,
each moment expecting to hear the roar OF
Mahommed's guns going into action.

At the city gates there was a halt as the
princes stan passed through, and a young
slave pressed forward with a great basket
of white roses for the Rahi. She took them
one oy one. touched them to her lips, and
passed them to the men OF her house as
had been her custom each day since the

their Ieader sprang to the ground and made
his way to he RAMS saddle.
With a deep obeisance he pronered his re-
quest: "A rose, white rose, gracious lady,

nay sustain him during the heat and tur-
noil of the day.
Soondai paused a fraction of time and
cast a glance around at her mobiles, who,
while all a little jealous of Mahommed's
prowess, were plainly pleased by his desire
20 wear the Hindu rose. Then she spoke:
