The Careless
ness of Nan

Is often the cause of bitter disap-
continents. The modern man
looks after the future welfare OF
ais family by buying life insur-
ance, Government bonds or some
other safe investment, and neg
iects one thing that possibly
would be more consolation and
comfort in case he was called
away. And that is a modern pho
tograph; 900 of our business is
women and children. The men
are always putting it off until
finally a black gowned woman
brings in an old tin-type taken
when John was 20, and has it cop
led. Not much comfort, but it's
all she has. Don't you think a
mall investment in photography
would be a good one for you?

overhauline the Mercedes.

The little steam launch Mercedes, the
tender TO the War Department, which has
been lying out of service at the harbor
Office wharf for considerably over year
past, was yesterday taken to Benefits rail-
way to be hauled out and laid up for the
winter. The Mercedes was brought here
about five years ago and made frequent
trips on the river of summer evening
with high officials of the War Department
aboard and 1t Is stated that the plans for
the changes in army management were dis
cussed aboard her, where the officials were
free from danger of interruption and where
secrets could not leak out from being over
heard. After Gen. Corbin went to the
Philippines the launch was but little used,
and the men who were kept by her We're
finally discharged, and for the past year
and a half she has had only the attention
that the men at the harbor of1io5 could find
time to give her. She Is fine little boat,
built of the best material, and was formerly
one of the launches Of the Spanish cruiser,
Reina Mercedes, which was sunk In the
harbor at Santiago during the war with
Spain. 1t Is stated that when she goes into
commission again she will be given a gem
eral overhauling and will once more be a
thing Of beauty.

DEATH OF CAPT. DAVID E. PORTER
Was Eldest Son Of the Late Admiral
Porter, u s. NJ

Capt. David Essex Porter, eldest son of
the late admiral of the navy, David d.
Porter, died suddenly in Baltimore, Md,
December 10, OF heart disease, aged sixty
two years. Capt. Porter entered the army
as second lieutenant, LIST Artillery, in 1851,
at the age of eighteen, and served with dis
tinction during the civil war He was In
many battles and was wounded. The lat
ter part of the civil war he was for nearly
two years an aid on Gen. Grants staff
and received a captaincy by brevet, con-
ferred by Gen. Grant for gallantry in &C
ton.
In 1868 he resigned from the regular army
and accepted a position as major in the

The Kneisel Quartet.

The performance by the Boston Symphony
Orchestra last week of the works of the
living French composers, under the leader
ship of NJ Vincent D'Indy, excited inter
ested anticipations as to his quartet an
nounced for performance by the kne:sel
quartet Thursday evening Mr.. kne sci also
added to the dramatic contrast by playing
this ultra modern work with Quartets by
Schubert and Haydn.
Nj. DIndy's quartet bore strongly the
marks of the modern French school, and
may be considered one of the best of its
productions. The attentive listener was i'm
pressed by the splendid scholarship of the
work 1t could only have been written by
one saturated with Bach and the classic
composers, although both in its treatment
and its spirit it represents the most modern
tendencies of music. The nearer missed
the simplicity of some of the older writer's
In the complexity of this work and failed
TO find that sense of repOse that comes with
the compositions of some of the classic
writer's. Even first hearing the great
beauties of the work are apparent. The
themes, although brief, are charming, the
structure of the composition admirable, the
contrast of grave and gay most dramatic,
and throughout the work there is a brill
liant invention that keeps the attention of
the hearers constantly excited until Its
close The technical diff culties of the work
are enormous, and were surmounted with
that wonderful finish characteristic of all
the performances of the Kneisel quartet
The charming simplicity of the Haydn
Quartet which closed the concert was a
proof that, however delightful the moderns
the older writer's will always hold their
place IN the esteem of musicians.

COLLIDE AT CROSSING.
Two Street Cars Attempt to Cross
Street at Same Time

An accident occurred at the intersection
of 18th street and New York avenue this
morning when two street cars tried to pass
over the crossing at the same time. Car
$40 on the Columbia line, in charge of Con-
ductor George Martin and Motorman w. f.
Giddings, was derailed and left In a posi-
ton to block traffic on both roads. Albert
l. Prose was conductor and o. Groves was
motorman on car PSI the 18th street
line but their car did not leave the tracks.
Miss Bessie Randall of 1114 street north
east a passenger on the Anacostia car was
slightly injured. Mrs. Spedley of 1913 18th
street northwest and Mrs. A. E. Battley OF
3l30 18th street northwest passengers on
the Columbia line, received internal in
iuries They were removed to their homes
in private conveyances.
The cars that were involved in the col
lision had stopped on the near sides OF the
crossing and number of passengers had
transferred Mrs. Spedley and Mrs. Bait
ley having left an 18th street car and
boarded the Columbia car to go In the dlrec-
ton of 18th street. 1t Is believed that
misunderstanding of signal was the rea-
son why both cars made a start at the same
time and caused the collision. The sudden
crash caused the passengers : In the cars
some alarm Women screamed and rushed
toward the doors, but none Of them tainted
1t required some little time for the crew or
the "hurry-up" wagon to get the car back
upon the track and restore traffic. Both
cars We're badly damaged and will have to
be sent to the repair shop.

BLOSSOMS QUEER CLOCK.
A Freak Timepiece Whose Hands Went

From the Newark News.


Don't hear much of Bryan or Dowle or

Captain Bill. II suppose they're run down

Ever hear about Blossoms clock?
We'll. Closson was a matchmaker in
Springfield avenue, and one year when
business was dull he made this clock I'm
telling you about 1t was good clock in
Its way, with an extra strong mainspr,nr.
its wheels were sound and healthy. and
you couldn't tell 1t from a regular clock.
But Closson put 1t together backward for
ne enjoyed his little joke once in a while
although lots of people who claimed 10
know him best would never admit that he
mad sense of humor
SO his clock started out in life with q
click and buzz to do great things r
suppose; and It's hands went round the
wrong way. People that had time to
all day and watch the hands going wrong /.
and lot of busy folks set their Watches
by 1t till they learned better, which they
did pretty quick, because a clock that has
oniy -FOUR lucid moments in 81 hours ism I
going TO be standard very long. There
were a good many folks, too, who stood
up for the clock and governed their move
ments by It, making a complicated arith-
meucal calculation always to find what
the real time was; but that got to be a
nuisance. and one by one they dropped
away and returned to the old clock over
the church that had served them pretty
steady before Blossoms clock appeared
After that the new clock waved its
hands the wrong way and chimed revolu-
lions all the harder, and wondered why its
trade was falling off. And by and by il
ran down, and nobody took the trouble to
wind II up again.

cluded, this seems 10 be the safest and
ssanest year in all history. Got any to-

ola Boheme.N

The storm of yesterday did not affect to
any apprecable degree the size of the
audience at the Columbia Theater last
night when the Savage Company presented
Puccinis OPERA LA Boheme," in a manner
that was eminently satisfactory.
The opera was produced in splendid style
and with cast that left little to be de-
sired, both as to singing and dramatic
work. Mr.. Sheehan was the Rudolph and
was in fine voice. He was especially effec-
tive in the duet in the first act Mr.. Golf
as Marcel and Miss Brennan as Musetta
Were in full accord and gave the comic sit
uations in good form. Rarely has there
been Musetta who has SO caught the spirit
of the role. Nine. Serenoso was the Mimiand
treated the heroine OF the Latin quarter
delicately and sympathetically. Her sing
ing was artistic and her action effective.
MIR. Bennett Schaunard was, as usual,
fine and Mr.. Parker as Colline made de-
cided hit in his solo on the 'Old Coat in
the last act. The work of chorus and Or
chestra was praiseworthy.
Tonight Gounod's Faust will be given
with Nine. Serena as Marguerite, Miss
Albright as Siebel, Mr.. Maclennan as Faust
and Mr.. Cranston as Mephistopheles.
