leading member of the bar of the Dis
trict of Columbia. on Friday evening.
May 10.
Miss Jones achieved a gratifying tri-
umph and interpreted with skill and
rare intelligence a repertory of piano
scores embracing the most difficult
productions of the worlds most cele-
brated composers of classic music. She
was assisted by Miss Alice MacPher-
son, violinist: Miss Sarah Maybury. ac-
companist. and by the conservatory or
chestra. Miss Jones was not at all
nervous and handled the responsive
keys with GOODNESS and accuracy that
surprised as well as delighted her tu-
tors and fellow students. The recital
ranks with the best that have ever been
given at this historic institution, and
Miss Jones was overwhelmed with con-
gratulations at the close of her bril-
liant performance.
She was the recipient Of profuse and
beautiful floral offerings at the hands
of her host of friends. The incident is
regarded as especially noteworthy from
the fact that Miss Jones happens to be
the only member Of the colored race
enrolled this season at the Ithaca Con-
servatory of Music. the musical de-
partment Of proud Cornell university.
TO illustrate the magnitude of her
triumph. it may be stated that Miss
Jones' numbers at the piano included

Report OF Armstrong Association Re-
veaIs Many Interesting Facts.
The report recently issued by the
Armstrong association on the results
Of an investigation made among the
colored pupils of the Durham school
in Philadelphia disclosed the fact that
there is a sad lack of results obtained
Tor the pupils of this school, The in

manner the failure of the present ele-
mentary school curriculum to benefit
the youth who is compelled to earn his
living upon leaving school.
Professor Brumbaugh, superintend
ent of schools. was impressed so
strongly by the array of facts listed
by James s. Hiatt, secretary of the
Public Education association, who
headed the committee, that he imme-
diately made plans to have the board
Of education take up the question of
allowing the association to conduct a
similar investigation among the white

OF these pupils ninety-seven return

When the investigation was first
started 1t was intended to consider
separately the boys and girls who
worked during summer and returned
to school and those working. but did
not return. 1t was thought that this
would be important because of the diff

would be chosen. After going over in

manifested in college and high school
circles in this city on account of the
seventh annual meet of the Interscho-
lastic Athletic association, which will
take place on the campus of Howard

The meet promises to be the best
the association has ever had. There
will be eleven track and field events
for scholastic athletes, four open
handicap events, and relays will be ar
ranged to meet the needs of those who
attend for spectacular races. There
will be no elementary school events in
this meet as formerly, as the Public
Schools Athletic league will hold out
door field games June 8.
Two secondary school championships
are involved in this meet. The scho-
lastic championship Of the middle At

ic league Of this city are at stake.

over the event. as it Is expected this
year that the competition will be

Fourteenth Century Life.

In the fourteenth century people lived
In mud huts, with rough door and no
chimney. 1t was not till century lat
er that the erection Of chimney was
considered more than an Indulgence in
luxury, FIRE commonly being built
against the mud plastered wall Of the
hut and the smoke escaping through
the roof. All furniture was Of wood.
Most persons slept on straw pallets,
with log of wood for pillow. Even
the nobility had no glass In the win
dows during this time. Cleanliness was
not characteristic Of the people, and
Thomas a Beckett was considered more
than necessarily nice because he had
the door Of his house strewn with fresh
straw each day.
