johnson Downey Stock Company again
presented the Whitechapel mystery
Jack the Ripper" 1t ia a drama full
OF thrilling climaxes, intermiogled with
sentiment and pathos. Mr.. Downey In
the dual role Of Rev. Sydney Melvin
and Jack the Ripper kept the audience
spell bound, and at the close of the
show as he walked up the steps to the
gaIlows to expiate bis crime the sympa-
thy of the audience was with him. Mr..
Downey's acting was very creditsble and
his support, especially by Mrs. w. F.
Malin as Nell Nelson was excellent.

KINDERGARTEN.

The large and aPPreciative audience
assembled last evening at the Young
Peoples Building, on the occasion OF
the annual meeting Of the Alexandria
Free Kindergarten Assoc a,ion, was re-
PAID by most delightful entertainment.
The business meeting was short, Mrs
Edward S ADLER presiding. An interest
ing fact mentioned in the presidents
address was that when the Free Kinder
garten re.opens in the fall, in the ne"
school building, it will have returned to
the sile Of its former home. which it oe-
Gu pied in the old Brent House II years
ago. Mss Wa kins, the director Of the
Washington kindeTgartens, then gave
most clear, concise and logical talk on
the "Method and Practice of the Kin-
derparten." Miss Watkins spoke with
nut notes, and held the undivided at
tention of her audience. Miss Watkins
first drew attention to the activity OF the
little child, and then showed how 1t was
the province Of the kindergarten to util-
izs and guide that activity. AS the DIFF
ferent relations 10 life are portrayed to
the child by means of the kindergarten
songs and games, Miss Watkins CLASH
fed the songs into three groups-she
family songs, the patriotic and those OF
a religious nature, which embtsce the
the Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter
songs. These songs we're most besuti-
folly rendered by young ladies from the
kindergarten Training Glass of Wash
ington. In addition 10 this they also
sang several exquisite spring songs as
the nature songs are an important feature
in the Kindergarten, in the development
of the three fold nature of the child The
music was admirably conducted by Miss
K eene, of Washington.
