Those who saw "Clarice" will want to see Marie Doro again; and those who read "The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne, :" and few have not, will wish to see the comedy which the author himself has made from his book. Miss Doro will appear as a star in "The Morals of Marcus" at the Hyperion tonight, ana this will be the sole opportunity in this vicinity to witness performance which has been accorded the warmest praise by all who have had the good fortune to be present.

sousa 2 Prolific Worker.

Fifteen years ago (June, 1S92) John Philip Sousa resigned the directorship of the United States Marine band nt Washington, which he had held since 1SS0 and that same autumn organized Sousa's band in New York. Since that time the organization has filled thirty one semi-annual tours, four European tours, and numberless protracted en- agreements at expositions. worlds fairs, summer seasons (Manhattan), etc.
 All this has entailed a tremendous amount of specific labor. Nevertheless. Sousa has found time to do a vast amount in other directions composing, writing (novel, magazine and musical literature), etc. He is wonderfully in- dustrious, prolific in work. Time with him is golden: he is incapable of squandering momentous days. He re- serves certain times for recuperation and pleasure, which are of royal sort "a day at the traps, fortnight at grouse and other shooting; in the surf, on horseback Che Is an expert, has ridden from New York to Washington In five days, an average of 45 miles a day) and in athletic pastime of varied sort, all so logically poised that they admirably temper the stress and strain of the vast amount of taxing mental labor he constantly executes.

DISTRICT CIVIL SERVICE.
Still the Prey of the Politician and
 the Spoilsman.

The commissioners of the District of Columbia have formulated their an- nual appeal to Congress to place the civil service of the District under the merit system It will probably be news to the country that the civil service system Is not yet applied to the Dis trict. Commissioners have appealed and Presidents have recommended, but still Congress leaves the civil service of the District unguarded. Nor is there room for charitable doubt as to the motives of Congress. Mere indif- ference can hardly be pleaded sue cessfully, for Congressmen do not keep their hands off the personnel of the Washington civil employees. Only a few years ago a Maryland Congress man won unenviable notoriety when it was revealed that certain of his constituents who at home had sur vived their political effectiveness had been brought to the Capital to enjoy the repose which the position of cross- ing policeman grants. These police men were appointed to watch the in tersections of street ear lines. and their support was saddled on the transportation companies. Congress has so much to do with the admin istration of the District that oppor- tunities for trading in appointments are numerous. The commissioners have again offered Congress chance tc prove that it's belief in the merit sys- tenn is not for Buncomb County Boston Transcript.

Interesting Announcement Re garding Last Concert of
 Symphony Orchestra.
FIRST TIME IN ITS HISTORY
for New Haveners to &c., lect Compositions of Per-
 sonal Liking.

An interesting musical announcement made late yesterday afternoon by Dr. Horatio Parker is to the effect that the last concert of the season by the New Haven Symphony orchestra will have a request program" This is the first time in the musical history of the symphony concerts that request pro- gram has been given.
 The late Theodore Thomas invaria- bly, arranged one request program ev- cry season during his dictatorship of the Chicago orchestra, and the Chica- go people used to send in their re- quests by the hundreds, and frequent ly months before the concert took place.
 It has not yet been given out in de- tail where the. requests are to be sent for the concer. here. nor in what man Is little doubt that the innovation will be welcomed in New Haven. Detailed program of the concert will be made in the next symphony concert.
 The only evening concert by ths Symphony orchestra, on Tuesday, Jan uary II, at which the young English pianist, Katherine Goodson. is to ap. pear, Is arousing the usual enthusiasm that the one evening concert does an. nually. There are so many who car go only to this evening symphony thai the managers have requently been urg ed to give at least two night concerts every season. The rule at the evening concerts in the past few years has beer that every seat in Woolsey hall ha. been sold, and as much standing room as is allowed,
 The sale of seats opens Saturda, morning from 10 to II o'clock, during the same hours Monday, and on Tues day the sale will open at II and las until the concert begins. S:1b

Ofhcial statistics, which exist large ly to glorify our material progress themselves increase with amazing rapidity. The census of 1790 cost 112 cents per capita.
