WASHINGTON SAENGERBUND.
Its First Public Concert This Season a
Success.
The Washington Saengerbund gave Its
first public concert this season last night
at the New National Theater, and the
house was filled with an audience that was
representative not only of the German ele
n'ent but of the be-st musical culture of
the District. The bund Itself sang In good
form and demonstrated the careful reharsals
had been given by Mr. Henry Xan
der, the musical director. The club n-um
bers were Meyer-Olbersleben's "Geloebnis;"
Ha.ndwerg's Serenade, Mr. Frank Rebstock
singing the baritone solo; Mr. Xander's
"Leibergruesse," and Spielter's "Im Lager
der Baueren." This was the first time that
Mr. Xander had appeared as a composer,
and his setting of Dr. Strack's poem was
melodious and musicianly. The number
was heurtily applauded and the talented
director was presented with a massive
bunch of roses.
The soloists were all from New York, and
included Miss Louise B. Volgt, soprano;
Miss Margaret Silwell, pianist, and Max
Bendtz, violinist. Miss Volgt sang the
scene and aria from Weber's "Der Frel
schutz" and a group of songs comprising
Henschel's "Morning Hymn," Schumann's
"Widmung" and Brahms' "Meine Liebe 1st
Grun." The singer was evidently laboring
under a cold and did not do herself full
justice, yet she showed a voice of generous
amplitude, but which lacked flexibilIty and
tone color. Her songs were her best ef
forts. She received an encore at each ap
pearance. Miss Stilwell played Chopin's
"Impromptu," op. 36; his "Scherzo." op. 20:
Liszt's "Valse Impromptu," Schumann's
"Nachtstueck" and a "Valse Brilliante" by
Guli, displaying excellent technique and
consIderable power. Mr. Max Bendix, how
ever, was easily the star performer and
prvdhmself a violinist of unusual abli
ity Heplaedwith a technique that was
well nigh perfect and with an artistic sense
that commanded the whole attention of his
hearers. His numbers were Hubay's "Car
mnen Fantasle." Arensey's "Berceuse,"
D'Ambrosie's "Canzonetta" and the Pop
per-Bendix "Elfentanz." His work aroused
positive enthusiasm, and he was obliged to
return again and again. The whole pro
gram was enjoyable and reflected credIt
upon Mr. Xander's judgment, who, by the
way, besides directing the bund, played the
accompaniments to the soloists writh great
discretion and sympathetic effect. Mr.
Erich F. Rath effectively accompanied the
Saengerbund.
Anacostia Items.
Rev. Charles 0. Isaac, pastor of the Ana
costla Methodist Episcopal Church, was
taken ill Saturday, and yesterday was un
able to conduct services at the church. . The
morning exercises were held under the di

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
DISCOVERY OF NOUND PASMONED
TO RESEMBLE A GRAVE.
Alleged Mystery Explained by Poliee
Searcity of Game-Attempted
Lareeny Alleged.
A grave was discovered Friday on a piece
of clearing at the edge of what is known
as Thompson's woods, just north of the old
dam at Lyon's wills, and on the west bank
of Rock creek. The discovery created con
siderable excitement in the neighborhood.
It was rumored that a gang of colored men
engaged in crap shooting had a quarrel
among themselves and one of the number
was killed and buried by his companions.
This theory was, however, all knocked in
the head by an investigation of the police
Saturday. It was ascertained that the tele
graph linemen had dug a hole at the spot
for the purpose of erecting a pole, the loca
tion of which was subsequently removed.
The hole was filled in and a mound of
earth left over it to give the appearance
of a grave, and a stick was placed at'what
was supposed to be the head, to make It
the more realistic.
Hunters Are Active.
Messrs. John Killeen, Henry Copperthite
and John Lynch left Saturday night for
Greensboro'. N. C., where ten days or two
weeks will be spent in hunting.
Policeman E. C. Blake, Eli Riley and !iI
leary M. Smith returned Saturday from a
week's trip to Stafford county, Va. During
the time they were out the huntsmen suc
ceeded in killing thirty-five rabbits, three
dozen partridges, six wild turkeys, about
the same number of snipe, and some squir
rels. Most of their game was brought
home.
A local hunter stated to a Star reporter
that the scarcity of game around this por
tion of the District need not cause any
wonderment. He says that there are too
many hunting parties who traverse every
foot of ground and kill all game in sight.
He stated that on Thanksgiving day he took
a walk in the county northwest of George
town and came across about forty gunners,
who were scouring the place for birds of all
kinds and other game.
Attempted Larceny Charged.
William T. Hall and Reverdy J. McPher
son, "young white men, were taken in cus
tody last evening by Policemen Johnson
and Farquhar, on a charge of attempted
larceny from the person. The complaint
was made by Richard Hessler, a visitor to
the city. It Is said the young men enticed
Hessler to the rear of the market house,
where, it is alleged. an attempt was made
to relieve him of his money, which failed.
General Items.
A raid was made yesterday morning at 1
o'clock by Policemen Connor, Grove and
Ward on the house occupied by Gertrude
Rhodes, colored, in Rock court. The wo
man was arrested on a charge of keeping a
disorderly house, while three female occu
pants and three men were arrested on
charges of vagrancy. One of the men was
held as a witness in the case.
The Georgetown branch of the Asso
ciated Charities has been established for
the winter season at the office of Justice
Oliver P. Johnson, corner of Prospect ave
nue and 32d street. Mrs. Kervin, who for
the past two years has been in charge of
the work, will continue in control of the
office.
An oyster feast will be given next Wed
nesday and Thursday at the annex of the
Eldbrooke M. E. Church, Tenleytown, last
ing from 5:30 to 10 o'clock p.m.
Georgetown Branch Star Office.
The Georgetown branch of The Evening
Star, for the receiving of advertisements
at the same rate as at the main office,
has been removed from 327 M street, to
O'Donnell's pharmacy, at the corner of 32d
and M, where the local office of the Pos
tal Telegraph Company has secured ex
cellent accommodations. For the convenI
ence of the up-town patrons the branch
drug store of O'Donnell's pharmacy, at 32d
and 0 streets, will be used as a place for
receiving advertisements of The Star. This
practically gives two branch stations of The
Star in the section west of Rock creek.
TEST OF WATER SYSTEM.
Successful iftmonstration of New
Works at Takoma Park. -
The regular monthly meeting of the tjwn
council will be held this evening at 8 o'clock
in the chapel, at Takoma Park. Among the
matters which will be considered is the
plumbing regulations and water rates to be
charged in connection with Takoma's new
water and sewer system. Mayor S. S.
Shedd will preside over the meeting.
A well-attended meeting of the citizens
of the town of Takoma and vicinity was
held Saturday evening in the Presbyterian
chapel for the purpose of organizing a vol
unteer fire company. Mr. 0. D. Summy,
chief of the fire department of Takoma, pre
ided at the meeting and explained the ad
vantages accruing from an organization of
this character. A large number of the
young men of Takoma were present and
signified their intention of co-operating witn~
Mr. Summy in the organization of a volun
teer company. A committee, composed of
Messrs. Blodgett, Hall, Milter, Wakefield,
Wallace and Shuster, was appointed to
draft by-laws and constitution for adoption
at the meeting Friday evening at 7:30
o'clock.
The offBcial test of the Takoma Park wa
ter works was made Thanksgiving day.
All the morning the men at the pump house
were busy getting things into shape for
starting the plant, and about noon the word
was given and the engine and pump started.
The water rushed through the pipes for the
first time an-d in a very short period the
gauge showed that it had reached an ele
vation of over 150 feet in the stand-pi-pe.
The engine and pump worked very satisfac
toriiy. - The starting of the plant was wit
nessed by Mayor 5. 5. Shedd, Corporation
Attorney A. M. Gould. Councilmen W. G.
Platt and F. J. Lung, Treasurer 0. A. War
ren and a number of residents of the town.
Mr. Castoe of the firm of Rosser & Castoe,
who constructed the water works, superin
tended the details. The water was let in
the maIns, and at 4 p.m. a test was made
of the water pressure. The reel cart wa-s
obtained from the engine house, a section
of hose attached to org of the fire plugs'
on Carroll avenue, and at 4:30 p.m. the first
water taken from the mains of the system
was turned on and the success of the pn
dertaking was demonstrated. A streArn
was thrown through a three-quarter-inch
nozzle to a height of 100 feet with. only
about half pressure in the water tank.
Several hydrants along Carroll avenue were
opened, the water rushing out in great
volume. The following day water w's . t
in all the mains throughout the town and
the fire plugs opened to allow the escape ofI
air. Very few leaks were discovered in the
entire nipe system.
The water is not adapted for domestic
purposes at present owing to mud In the
pipes, which will have to be washed out.
By the time the dam and saulce to the well
is completed this will have righted itself.
For the first time Takoma Park can realize1
that In case of fire there is plenty of waterI
at its door.
The Takoma Assembly gave its ini
tial .dance recently in Takoma HaIl. The
attendance was unusually large for the.
opening dance of the season, and those
present included a large number of Wash
ngtonians. The committee was composed
of Messrs. H. L. Thornton, W. W. Waters,
R. Lay and W. J. Giddings.
What is known as the spring sewer farm.
in connection with the new water and sew
erage system of Takoma Park is rapidly
nearing completion. The Sligo sewer farm
will require about three weeks' work be
fore it can be utilized to any extent. Work
is being pushed on the dam, and the well
has been completed.
Superintendent Arthur V. Brown of the
Takoma water works, who was injured q
few weeks ago white blasting with dyna
mite, will undergo an operatkon today. At
frst it was thought his right band, was
only lacerated, but, when examined with
the X-ray a few days ago, .it was found that
the bones were broken and will have to be
reset.

Players Back From Cuba.
Eight base ball players arrived in Nev
Ycrk from Havana Saturday morning o
the steamer Seguranca. They were thi
last to return home of the twenty-tw4
players who went to Cuba last October ti
teach the Cubans base ball and gather ij
the gate receipts. In the party were Hugl
Jennings, James Sheckard, William Dah!en
William Donovan and Harry Howell of th<
Brooklyn club, William Gleason and v innfi
Mercer of the New Yorks and John C
Barry of the Bostons.
Dahlen said yesterday to a New York re
pcrter: "We didn't make any money, bu
had a pleasant tIme. Our last game, playet
last Sunday, was fairly well attended, bul
we thought it would be better to return t<
New York tihian to make any more attempl

"I was surprised when I got back t<
Brooklyn," Dahlen continued. "to learn
that I was the only member of the Brook
lyn team who was barred out of the sleeve

"I have yet to learn whether I didn't plas

other. I suppose I will have to bear thl
blow, play better ball next season and bi
extra polite to any of the 'admirers' I may
chance to meet."
Manning Detained in Kansas City.
It was expected that James H. Mannirg,
president and manager of the Kansas City
Base Ball Club and prospective owner o:
the Washington club in the America!
League, would arrive in this city this morn
ing, but business matters have detained
him. The following dispatch was received
by the sporting -editor of The Star this
morning:
"Detained by business. Leave here (Kan
sas City) about Wednesday. Will wire you.
"JAMES H. MANNING."
With the coming of Mr. Manning bas4
ball in Washington will take on a boom
as he may interest local capitalists In thi
team and decide on the selection of crounds
National Park may be selected, but it is
pcssible that an entirely new site may bi
fitted up.
-Base Dali Notes.
With Connie Mack at the head of the
American League team in Philadelphia
the NatIonal League outfit in the Quaker
city will have to do some' hustling to keep
ahead of its rival.
Jack Doyle has more sense than some
of those who insist on abusing him. His
speech in Cuba. in which he showed his
knowledge of history, proves that the
scrappy and braIny infielder is not a
"dummy."
There is a Baltimore tip that Elberfield is
to play shortstop for the American club
of that city, and there is nothing unlikely
in .the story. The Kid would be a player
after "Muggsy" McGraw's .own heart.
"That fellow Tebeau makes a funny
crack," said ex-Senator Jimmy Casey in
Detroit the other day. "HIs club once came
to Brooklyn to play, and Keeler and myself
walked out to our positions. Tebeau looked
at us and grinned. Then he yelled to Han
Ion: 'Say, Hanlon, we came here to play
men and not boys.' "
-Billy Smith. who played left field on the
Toledo interstate team for several years.
has been made an offer to join the Balti
more -team in the American League. Smith
is a good hitter and a swift and daring
base runner. Smith asked for his release
from the Toledo team for the reason that
he felt hepould play better ball by chang
ing around' toesome other team.
Asked about the prospects of a lively
ne_ in New York. Mr. Soden maid:
"Thea,ers' Association wants to be
heard about their wish to change the form
of fintract and the American Lage
wants to have a change 'me in the zqa
tional agreement. Then there will also be
