Thomas n. Scott, aged "a, a well
known resident living at Alb South
Fairfax street, died yesterday after
noon after long illness. He was
native of Maryland, but this city had
been his home. for many years, where
he was engaged in business as a
contracting carpenter and had built
many houses. He is survived by his
wife, Mrs. Margaret Scott. The fun
eral will be held Monday morning at
9:3O from st. Mary's Catholic Church
with high mass.
The dance given last night by
Alexandria Lodge No. 1853, B. P. O.
E.. in their home in Prince street,
to the Alexandria Light Infantry was
a complete success. A number of
tickets were disposed of and had all
attended the hall would have been
filled to overflowing, but the num-
ber present made dancing pleasure
The music, by Perry's orchestra, was
most inspiring and during the even
ing refreshments were served in the
rathskeller. The affair was indeed a
most successful one and greatly en-
joyed by all present.
The recital given at st. Mary's
Academy last evening was an artis-
tic production in every sense of the
term. Miss Duncan played her many
roles with the ease of manner and
perfect ;mpersonation that made her
audience forget that she was acting.
AS Columbia, addressing the flag, or
telling the charm of Virginia above
all other States; as the frivolous So
ciety belle, preparing for social
triumphs; as Dolores, arraignlng
King Philip for the murder Of his
brother, her betrothed: as Little
Prince Arthur, pleading patheticaily
for his life: she came up to the en-
recitation of dramatic instructors,
who were present for the express puF-
pose of criticizing her efficiency Ill
expression. Miss Duncan has p11r-
sued the course in expression for five
wears at st. Mary's ACADEMY, and
her triumph of last evening was well
earned. At the close of the program
in the name of st. Mary's faculty,
Reverend Louis Smet presented her
with the gold pin for postgraduate
work, after which, in few we'll chos-
en- words, he introduced the Reverena
Edgar Carpenter, rector of Grace
Episcopal church, whose congratula-
torv remarks, fittingly closed the en-
ercises. The program was delight
fully interspersed by two splendidly
rendered solos by Miss E. Nugent,
of the Vocal Class, and other musical
numbers by the pupils Of St. Mary's
, Violin and Piano Departments. Miss
Hubbard, assisting Miss Duncan :ast
evening, whetted the desire of the
audience to see her in recital Of her
own, when she has accomplished the
class work prescribed.
