EXCURSIONS.

The personally conducted excursion of
the Washington Sunset route best solves
the question of how to travel to California
with comfort, convenience and economy.
Tourist sleeping cars are used for this
service, affording accommodations well
their expenditures, while the Pullman
coaches, dining, sleeping, observation, ETC.,
are available for those with whom this is
not necessary. Through berths in the tour
ist sleepers can be secured at very nominal
cost. These excursions are made three
class winter tours, personally conducted,
are to be made via this route this season
Information as to itineraries, cost, ETC.,
may be had of A. J. Poston, general agent,
511 Pennsylvania avenue. !,
All seasons find the Norfolk and Wash
ington steamers well patronized. Their
speed, safety and superior appointments
lists. The public cabins are spacious and
tastefully furnished, the cafes excellent and
the state rooms notably comfortable. These
steamers make the trip to Old Point and
Norfolk over night, leaving this city at
$50 pm. every day in the year. Convenient
train connections are made at Norfolk for
all points south, also boat connections for
New York and Boston.
Strangers in the city who desire to see
the city's most attractive environs-the
zoo, Rock Creek Park, Chevy Chase Lake,
etc.-wilI find the electric cars running
from New York avenue and 18th street the
most convenient means of reaching all
these points. Round-trip tickets are sold
for the trip, giving stop-overs at many of
fifteen minutes, going as far as Chevy
Chase Lake, where connections are made
with the Kensington trolleys, leaving every
half hour.

Discoveries in SYRIA.

Recent Discoveries in Syria" was the
subject of an illustrated lecture given by
Dr. Howard Crosby Butler of the Princeton
University yesterday afternoon before the
Virum Monumental Prioruin, the Washing
ton Society Of the Archaeological Institute
of America, in Hubbard Memorial Hall. 10th
and M streets northwest.
DR.. Butler told of the wonderful ruined
cities Of the Syrian desert, which, owing to
scarcity of water in their vicinity have
never been explored. He attributed the
present condition Of the country to the
wastefulness of its former inhabitants in
the use of wood. He said further for the
architect and artist the country is a VERT
table treasure-house. The Greek, Roman
and Arabian civilizations have all left their
imprint upon its history. Its architects are
shown to have originated many features of
modern building, and to have been skillful
adapters. In many of their decorative

The concert of the Philadelphia SYM
phony Orchestra, under the leadership of
Fritz Scheel which took place at the
,Belasco Theater yesterday afternoon, was
one of the most enjoyable entertainments
that this admirable organization has given
here. 1t included Dvorak's symphony No. 5
in E minor, from THE New World" Caesar
Franck's symphonic poem Redemption"
and Grieg's symphonic dance No 4, op. GA.
The soloist was the Russian violinist Alex
ander Petschnikopf, who appeared here for
the first time, playing Relationships con-
certo, for violin and orchestra, in d major
op 50.
The work of the orchestra in it's SYM
phonic work and in the accompaniment to
the soloist was of that high grade which
characterizes all it's efforts and was es-
pecially pleasing to the audience, which
was large and included most of the music
lovers Of Washington, as well as many
prominent in social circles. Each move
ment of Dvorak's beautiful and melodous
work was greeted with applause, particu-
larry the dainty and weird largo.
The violinist proved himself master of
technique, surmounting all the difficulties
of Relationships score, and at it's conclu-
sion the applause was SO prolonged that
after bowling several times he at last played
a beautiful composition of his own.

Too Manv Rabbits.

There are so many rabbits in the north
east suburbs of the District, and they have
proven so destructive to gardens and truck
farms, that a petition has been forwarded
to the Commissioners signed by nine prop
erty owners in that section requesting that
S. L. H. Russell, sergeant of the police
force, be granted permit to kill the ami
mails. The petition was signed by George
w. Farr. Ellsworth B. Farr, P. H. Sheriff,
George B. Sheriff. Jacob Beck, George w.
Barnes, Thomas U. Strathan, John Hagan
and ]. H. Wood.
The petitioners stated that there is little
to fear from the rabbits, but that if they
are allowed to live and breed by the time
spring arrives and the gardens and truck
patches are being worked they will be
very destructive. The Commissioners have
taken the request under consideration.
