NEW FEMALE CHORUS.
Women of the Episcopal Churches to
Form an Organization.

Plans are being made for the organiza-
ton of a musical society from among the
women vocalsts in the Episcopal churches
of the District. Bishop Satterlee has given
his sanction to the movement and has
evinced more than usual interest in its sue
cess. The objects of the organization will
be to give a concert each year for the bene-
fit of some local charity; to strengthen the
choirs of the various Episcopal churches
during the Lenten season; to work an i'm
provement in the taste for music and the
class of music used in the churches, and to
insure at all times capable body of sing
ers who can be enrolled In choir for
service on festival occasions. The member
ship of the body will include about $50
singers with the necessary soloists. Any
church woman with good voice and good
ear for music will be eligible for member
ship. as there is no limit fixed to the mem
bership. The figures mentioned represent
what the choir would be IL there were ten
members from each of the thirteen Episco-
pal parishes in the District that have so far
signified their intention of coming into the
organization. Each church, 1t is proposed,
viii be represented in the choir by chap
ter having a chairman, the duty of the lat
ter being to keep an active membership of
of her own church. The following have
been selected as chairmen of the chapters:
Asc ansion (Pro-CathedraD, Miss Satterlee;
Christ Church (Georgetown), Miss Bell;
CHRIST Church navy Yard. Miss Gibbon;
Epiphany. Mrs. Robertson; ST. Andrews
Mrs Ballenger; St. Johns CWashington),
Mrs Johnston; st. Margarets, Miss De
Peyster; st. Marks. Miss Howson:
St Michael and All Angels Miss Bur-
bridge; st. Paurs. Miss O'Reilly; st. Ste
phen's. Mrs Macleod st. Thomas, the
Misses Washburn; Trinity, Mrs. Perry.
The movement toward the organization of
the choir is still young and many of the
parishes IN the city have not yet had OPP
portunity to enlist their singers. II Is UNI
derstood that no formal invitations are ex
tended to any of the churches, but that If
it is desired to become enrolled simple no.
LITIGATION of that fact to the secretary,

cient. In notifying the secretary the names

Late Corners asdConcerts.

To the Editor of The evening Star
May be allowedsa space in your paper
to ask a questions Why are ushers at
musical performances in Washington per-
mitted to seat belated attendants during
the rendition of numbers? One would think
that those who are unavoidably late would
of their own volition wait at least until be-
tween numbers or movements to take their
seats. There seem to be many who have
no regard for the comfort of those who
make 1t a point to be on time, but demand
their seats the moment their coupons are
presented. At the performance OF "Parsi-
fal" 1t was quite impossible to enjoy the
overture because of the incessant banging
OF seats and the constant tramping up and
down the aisles. This was repeated after
the intermission. For fully twenty minutes
after the curtain was up persons were re-
Stunning their seats
Tuesday afternoon at the Paderewski
piano recital it was the same. A good por-
tion, quite one-third of the program, was

terest in the navy was due to the fact that
his state was directly benefited.
Mr.. Lodge disclaimed any interest because
of local benefits, and instanced his support
of the river and harbor bill, which, he said.
benefited Arkansas more than any other
state. This brought forth general de-
Tense by Mr.. Berry of the river and harbor
bill. He commended that Arkansas interest
was incidental to its proximity to the great
Mississippi river.
Mr.. Pettus defended the seed distribution
as one Of the most profitable acts Of the
government He commended Secretary Viii
son in high terms, saying that he had done
more good than all of his predecessors In
that office. He dwelt upon the Importance
of having farmer at the head of the de-
partment. "Oh. 1 wouldn't put a lawyer
there" he said, turning and looking at Mr.
Bailey. even though he came from Texas.
Yes" he added, evidently responding to q
private suggestion from Mr. Spooner. who
sat near him. Il think he would administer
the office honestly, but / am sure he would
do 1t poorly"
Mr.. Proctor announced his personal oppo-
sition to the distribution of common seeds
but said he had found it impossible to get
the committee to strike it out TT Is a
humbug," he said, "a cheap chrome but
one that We can't get rid Of"

spoiled for those in the balcony by this
constant noise and confusion, banging
seats. squeaking, swinging doors, tramping
ushers and helated audience.
Four times during the Beethoven Sonata
l got up to let persons pass. One movement,
the beautiful andante, was entirely spoiled
for me.
In the midst of Paderewski's nocturne
some of the audience commenced to get
ready to go and to go, when the same
experience was repeated. Only through the
middle part of the program was there COM
parative quiet
If persons are unavoidably late should
they not be requested to wait until between
movements or numbers to take their seats?
If some must go before the program is fin
ished 1t would seem that the most ordinary
courtesy would instinctively dictate that
their departure be taken not right In the
middle OF number. AS one of many who
go to almost everything given in Washing
ton in the way of good music, who go be-
cause they want to listen for the pleasure
and the instruction of 1t, simply ask the
question: Can no rule be made governing
this matter which will overcome this UNI
bearable condition?

DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS.
The Annual Expenditure Criticised by
Senator Lodge

In the Senate yesterday afternoon Mr..
German. criticising the increase In appro-
priations, said s5000O,O00 could be saved by
a return to the old system, when the appro-
priations committee considered all bills.
Mr.. Lodge criticised the appropriation Of
$4,000 for seeds, saying that the seeds
distributed were cheap and common, and
that the entire provision was a humbug.
I'VE are appropriating public money said
Mr. Lodge, year after year in order to en-
able us to make gifts to our constituents.
We may as well look the truth in the face"
he added; 'it Is pleasant thing to do. we
all like 1t, but we should not forget that
We are making the country pay for it,
Mr.. Latimer defended the distribution as
of great value, and Mr.. Perkins read from
the report Of the Secretary of Agriculture
to show that an intelligent effort was being
made to improve varieties.
Mr.. Bailey Endorsed Mr.. Lodges view,
saying there was no more reason why the
government should supply farmers with
seeds to plant in their gardens than there
would be for supplying them with imple-
ments for working them.
Replying to a suggestion by Mr.. Proctor
that the entire appropriation of the bill did
not exceed the cost of one battle ship, Mr.
Lodge expressed the opinion that the an
preparation for the navy was the most
wisely spent of all our appropriations.
Mr.. Berry suggested that Mr. Lodges in

FREE LECTURES.
Suggestion by Commissioners Regard.
ing Possible New Series.

The District Commissioners in reporting
on the bill to provide free lectures for the
people of the District say IF Congress in its
wisdom should see fit to authorize second
series, to be given as proposed in the bill
under consideration. the Commissioners will
suggest that in all cases where such lee
lures shall be held in public school build
ings they shall be in charge of the board
of education, and that those In control of
the school buildings on such occasions shall
be selected by the board of education from
among its subordinates."
The Commissioners mention in their re-
port that the board of education for some
time has been conducting a series of free
lectures for the public under an appropria-
ton in the District BILL The provision In
that bill, however, provides that the leo
lures shall be held In the public school
buildings or such halls as designated by
the board.

told Of his life in the penitentiary
to an INDEPENDENT reporter:

was sick a part Of the time and
then did not have to work.
There are sixty convicts working
in the Irvine factory which is a
success. We had on hand when
I left 100000 worth OF Irvine.
The plant will have to be en-
larged. 1t is run on the Mime

1873 men and three women in the
penitentiary. Two Of the women
are in for shop-lifting and one
woman for murder. She is from
Williston. The women occupy
quarters up stairs and are given
quite an easy time. They sew
most OF the time. The women
are given the liberty OF going
into Warden Boucher's house

DID MUZZY
PERJURE HIMSELF ?

One OF the hardest fought con-
test cases ever known at the Mi
not land Office was fought
Thursday and Friday by Harry
Muzzy who attempted to take
from John Gard, the claim upon
which he filed. Muzzy was here
with a number OF his friends,
while Gard had as many witness
es or more who swore as to his
bona fde residence. 1t seems
that Gard has lived a good deal
on his claim, has nearly 100
acres broken and has cropped
the place for several years. He
has a good house and has lived
in it a good deal. The claim is
worth several thousand dollars.
1t is located north Of Sawyer.
He left the place at intervals
like many another single man
and while he was working in Mi
not in a barber shop some
months ago, Muzzy brot contest
against the homestead. Gard
claims that Muzzy and his friends
have perjured themselves and
may take action against them
for that.

BABY MAY HAVE
Been MURDERED

The dead body Of an infant
partially buried in the East Wang
cemetery north OF Fessenden in
a satchel, was found. The young
man who buried the infant bor-
rowed a spade from a party who
lives near the cemetery. 1t has
been learned that the body was
brot to Fessenden from Mime
sofa by the young man. The
fellow claims that a young lady
friend in Minnesota got into
trouble and he brot the body to
North Dakota to save her from
disgrace. He has lived at Fes-
sender six years and has always
borne a good reputation. The
matter is being investigated. 1t
may be that the baby was MUIR
dered. From appearances it
was several days old, and was
nicely dressed.

SANkEY ESCAPED
FROM PENITENTIARY

Chas. Sankey, who was sent to
the penitentiary at Minot for
six years for robbing the New
York store, escaped from the
brick yards which is run in con-
nection with the penitentiary,
and went to the business portion
OF Bismarck where he secreted
himself under a building. The
twelve blood hounds belonging
to the penitentiary, were sent to
Sankey's cell, then turned loose.
They soon struck Sankey's trail
and followed it to the house
where he was in hiding. The au-
thorities searched the house five
times and wanted to take the
dogs away but the hounds re-
fused to leave. Sankey was at
last found under the structure
nearly covered with dirt under
the wall.
