The CONCERT LAST NIGHT.

Ire large audience that filled the
Notion Memorial last evening was
amply repaid by hearing one OF the pest
concerts ever given by the choir OF ot,
Paul's Church, it beinga repetition OF
their former successes. The eight
choruses Oh the programme were rend-
cred with fine volume, attack and pre-
cisinn, and showed careful and pains
taking training. The soloists we're all
in excellent voice.
Probably the two most interesting
numbers were: 1st The Tower scene
and Miserere by Mrs. Elsie De DER,
Mr.. Kenneth Ogden and the chorus.
2nd, the piano solo Of little Hilda
Schneider. The manner in which the
former was rendered would have done
credit to a grand opera company, and
the Chopin nocturne Of the latter showed
the technique Of an experience must
clan, though she is only nine years old.
Mrs. De Dier's voice rang unusually
rillant, showing its wide range and
beautiful quality in the way in which
she handled the difficult solo from the
Tower Scene"
The piano solo OF Miss Katharine
Waller was also much enjoyed as was
the violin selection Of Miss Caroline
Kast.
TIE many friends of Mrs. Raymond
Huliish, one OF the former solists Of
the choir. gave her cordial reception
and thoroughly enjoyed her number,
the Hover song from Faust, which
She sang with her usual finish.
Mss Berthe Thompson, OF Washing
ton. rendered her selections in an artiS-
tic manner, her pianoisimo singing
being most effective, Mr.. Arthur Jet,
also Of Wa shington, showed he possessed
n tenor voice OF fine range, power and
sweetness.
The work OF the other solists, Mrs.
Sherman B. Fowler, Miss Mary Young,
Mrs. Edwin Whitman, Mr.. Wilmer
Waller and Mr.. Richard Writ, is so
we'll known that they need no special
mention. The accompanies were Miss
Waller, Mrs. DeDier, Mr.. and Sherman
b. Fowler, under whose direction the
concert was given.
The beautiful Weber grand piano
used at the concert was from Sanders
& Stayman King street, and its fine
tone contributed in no small de-
gree TO the success Of the entertain
ment.

FEVER CLOSES SCHOOLS.

Probably never before has the State
Health Department been so confronted
with the peculiar conditions now exist
ing at three Of its educational instltu-
tons simultaneously, as following the
closing Of V. M. l. on account OF a
pink eve epidemic and typhoid fever,
and the closing Of the w. & L. on ac-
count Of typhoid fever, the Episcopal
High School, near Alexandria, today
closed on account on account Of scarlet
fever, as several cases have developed
there. The suspension of the High
School is till January 4 and the boys
are leaving for their homes as rapidly
as possible. The State Department has
two men at Lexington studying con
diuons to locate the cause Of the fever
there. another is on the road and Chic

GUN CREW EXoNERATED.

An investigation OF the fatal accident
at Indian Head, on the 18th instant,
resulting from proving test OF a new
five-inch gun, which cost the lives oil
four men, has established the fact that
the design Of the breech mechanism OF
the gun is faulty. The pattern is now
being changed at the Washington navy
yard. The premature discharge OF the
cartridge case, which blew out the
breech plug the board finds, was due to
a projecting firing pin. The board re-
lieved the gun crew of all suspicion OF
carelessness and said that all due pre-
cautions were taken in loading the gun
and in handling the ammunition.
