Moving Pictures Now Operative.

Mayor Fisher has signed the ordl-
nance compelling the nuzzling of
dogs to run 1t large, forbidding the
exhibition of pictures illustrating
crimes and attempts TO commit crime.
and making it Unlawful to indulge in

as children gliding along in pb2toons,
or allowing themselves 10 be "towed'

The urgent need of rhese laws has

their enforcement.

RECITAL LAST NIGHT .GE
Laree Congregation Gather inSecond
Presbyterian Church. An Enjoy
able Evening

The Second Presbyterian Church was
crowded last night to its capacity
when Mr.. Harry Patterson Hopkins,
of Washington and Baltimore, gave an
organ recital, assisted by the quar-
tette choir of the Franklin Street
Presbyterian Church of! Baltimore.
The program, which was one of rare
musical excellence, was thoroughly
enjoyed.
Mr.. Hopkins has appeared here be-
fore in recital, and, as on previous oc-
casions, his playing was enthusiast
cally received. He is, indeed, master
musician. The choir gave three selec-
tions and each in its turn was equally
enjoyed. Mrs. Janney, the, alto solo,
list, sang "The Publican" by Van de
Water. The number was one of the
hts of the evening. Mrs. Janney po-
ssesses a rich, sympathetic voice,
which charmed all her listeners.
Altogether the concert was more
than something thoroughly enjoyable.
