ATTENDANCE LAST NIGHT Big Crowd of Eager Purchasers Makes Business Lively. BARGAIN HTTNTKH.S IN EVIDENCE Management Begins Clearing House Activities to Ascertain ResultsRivalry Among Lodges. As a finale to the Masonic fair at Convention Hall there will be a grand promenade concert and ball next Thursday evening. President B. F. Smith of the board of control first suggested this function, and the Idea took firm hold on all who heard of it. In deciding to wind up the fair with this event the board yielded to the earnest solicitation of fair-goers and members of the fraternity, and indications are that the big ball will be a truly brilliant function. At first It was thought that the labor imposed upon those who have already worked so hard for the success of the fair would he ton izrcAt if the hall were out' into shape for a dance Thursday evening, and it was only because the demand was so great that the announcement was made. Music will be furnished by an orchestra of fifty pieces. By the removal of the booths in the center of the vast hall ample space will be provided for dancing. The side booths will not be disturbed, but tiie refreshment tables will be installed In them. Around the entire hall a promenade space will be provided. The estimate is that at least two thousand couples can occupy the floor at one time, and It is said more than that number will probably attend. Decorations to Remain. T to nr.* il,., r,..v..n<-A ,, f ?,,? ii iivi. im; ^u> pvoc ui iitvut to change the decorations in any way, so that those who may visit tiie fair for the first time that night will have an opportunity to see all the beauty of the hall. The price of tickcts for the ball has been fixed at $1 for a gentleman and one lady, with additional ladies' tickcts ut r>0 cents each. They are on sale today at the fair headquarters. 142.% New York avenue, and will be on sale at the office of the committee on badges and tickets at Convention Hall tonight. They are also on sale at the various business places where lair tickets have been sold for the past two months. The attendance at the fair Inst night was well up to the average, ami "barkers" and boomers of the various booths in general kept up the enthusiasm of the vast crowd to the usual high pitch, notwithstanding voices made hoarse by days of strenuous use. So large was the attendance and so eager was everybody to make purchases that the "marked down" signs were withheld another day. The bargain hunters were jocularly informed that they must come again tomorrow. An Explanation. Tn response to the many Inquiries In reference to the season tickets and the prizes, Mr. Harry Standlford, director' general, stated that he desired to again make it plain that every season ticket entitled the holder thereof to a voice in a house and lot. piano, majiogany roll-top desk and an 1, n^.ll ? .. /. . 1 It uan xun-ivy ufMi, aiHi, i ui itier, iIlilL JL makes no difference whether the ticket had been used or not whether the auditor's coupon has been turned in or not. There Is only one condition, and that is the ticket must be paid for by July 1, 11)07. Envious Eyes on Exhibition Cup. Envious eyes are being cast in the direction of a local Jewelry store, where there I? on exhibition a cup to be given to the lodge making the largest return of cash to the temple fund. Rivalry is exceedingly keen, and the end of the fair is anxiously awauea so wiai me results can be compared. NV. F. Downey made a cash (lunation of $1<> last night to the fair fund of Pentalpha Ix)dge. Tiie Federal Lodge, No. 1, booth has In "the buzzing bee" something which is equal in popularity to the paddle stand. It ie conducted by Harry M. McDade, as "barker," and has proved a remarkable entlcer of cash from pocket books. The baskets of coffee are handed out by Ralph W. Lee at the rate of one every half minute. As the fair nears an end the big business cf straightening out accounts is having to be dealt wi'h. Louis C. Wilson, in charge of the director general's booth, is working overtime and claims to have lost an average of three-quarters of a pound of flesh a night, so strenuous has his task been. A stiff collar and smooth shirt front are strangers to him after he really gets started. t ^ V\l 11 lillf IIUUI idM rvruiiig, vviifii Hit" lttCL that there will be a grand finale ball Thursday night had become generally known, there was talk of little else among the throng-* of young people In the hall. This is to be a special treat for the young ladles and gentlemen, and they propose, It Is said, to make the most of it. WILL ENTERTAIN VISITORS. Washington Saengerbund's Plans in Behalf of Viennese.

I The five outdoor playgrounds of the District. which will open .omorrow, will be available from 12 o'clock until dark every day and from 0 o'clock Saturdays, b L the larger children will not be admitted to the grounds between 1 and 8 o'clock p.m. At a meeting of the playgrounds directors in room 205 Ouray building, at 10:30 yesterday, Dr. Curtis spoke to the teachers on the play directorship as a profession. He said that the teachers In the Chicago playgrounds are receiving $1,200 per year, and that It Is hoped that teachers here will soon receive as much as the teachers in the puolic schools. He said he regarded It as the greatest opportunity for personal influence over the child that Is given to anyone. I)r. Curtis said people are apt to think a position in a playground Is an easy one to till, but that In fact It required for high success the rarest qualities of organization and leaclersmp, aim mat tne people wno are conspicuously successful in this line In America can be numbered on tlie fingers of one hand. Much of the art, however, it is possible to acquire, aqd almost every school of physical training in the country Is giving courses for playground leaders. The demand for such trained people Is much greater than the supply. Appeal to Teachers. The teachers were urged to learn all of the children's games thoroughly and to k ow how to play them better than the children themselves as the fundamental requirement of their success In the playcTfrviirn? If'u/'h tftfirliPr wna HSkPil to malra out a plan of his work for the summer, get In mind just what he was seeking to accomplish, and to mnke a plan every day of the work for the day following, so that there should be no drifting from day to day without alms or purposes. The lady teachers were urged to familiarize themselves with more forrrs of the Industrial work and to become more skillful In teaching It to the children. I>r. Curtis said the secret of a large attendance Is largely In so organizing activities that there are always several things going on at once, which was not always easy and required ??l* * n Mil etrlll lliuuglil onu Another ?Wng wfhlch they were to work for was tf# organization of teams. Dr. Curtis said that boys would come to a playground for a year and choose up and play base ball with a team composed of different members each day without ever learning the fine points of the game. They would not practice regularly nor strive hard to win until they were members of a regular team and rained a team loyalty. A team Is responsible and can be held to account for the apparatus U uses and the damage It does. Main Purpose Outlined. Finally the main purpose for which they are to strive and the standard by which they are to be Judged is their success in creating a spirit In the playground, which was kindly and courteous and loyal to Its alms. Dr. Curtis said that at the time the playgrounds were opened In New York there was at first a complete lack of loyalty to the playground and an almost complete lack of courtesy or Justice between the large children and the small ones. The Btrong children took the playthings and ap paratus away irora me wean ones, ana nurt them constantly by their rough play, but that all of this was changed and the difference was notlcable within a year to an observing person. The whole relation between the teacher and child Is changed as soon as the child feels that the teacher knows his name and takes an Interest in him personally. BERLIN. April 80.?Snowfalls continue to be reported from various parts of Germany. Last night Fichtelgeblrge, In northern Bavaria, had a worse storm than any in January. In the valleys at the loot of the mountains the snow Is three feet deep, and travel is obstructed. Snow fell at Munich and throughout the Isar valley today, and new snow is so thick in the Rlesengebirge district of southern Silesia that numerous avalanches have fallen. _ X oukH How Schlitz be rould never buy would see plate air, where we co vould see glass-lin that it cannot cai we filter it th : sterilize every I o extremes. rould realize bette 'ling. substituted for Schlitz. on, see that the cork or crown is b, ine lade Mil EVERYMAN A SUCCESS BENEFIT PERFORMANCE GREETED BY LARGE AUDIENCE. Continental Memorial Hall of the D. A. Ft., 17th street near New York avenue northwest, was the mecca for society folk last night, the occasion being a benefit performance of "Everyman" by the Ben Greet players. The large audience attracted by the production brought great success to the financial end of the enterI prise, and the Prisoners' Aid and vCity Missionary Society profited accordingly. Equally successful was the play In Its social and artistic features. "Everyman," with his gloomy tale of mortal 8 last days on eartn and his mental anguish and physical shrinking from traveling along the dreary pathway of eternity, made the Injunction on the programa "not to applaud" almost a superfluity, l>ecause the play was not one calculated to arouse audible enthusiasm. The scenes were laid in the Salamanca Cathedral In Spain, where it was the custom to give religious plays in the middle ages, and the costumes, splendid copies from Flemish tapestries, and the music, with its Intonations characteristic of the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, were combined to produce an effect of mysticism and religious devotion. List of Players. The players: Agnes Scott, Sibyl Thorndike, Olive Noble, Lucia Cole, Mililcent Erricson, Milton Rosmer, Fred Sargent, Sydney Greenstreet, Frank McEntee, Percy Waram, Russell Thorndike.

The annual ladles' social session of Washington Lodge, No 15. B. P. O. E., was observed at National Rifles' Armory, 9tl> and G streets northwest, last night, a banquet, dance and a muslcale being on the program for the entertainment of lodge members and guests. More than K00 persons were present, and the beautifully decorated dining hall made a gala scene. Probably the most interesting event of the evening was an announcement made by John G. Maxwell concerning a monster benefit which is being planned by the local lodge of Elks. The affair will be the first of its kind attempted by the lodge in five years, and Mr. Maxwell declares It will eclipse all former efforts of the order. It will be an outdoor celebration, and will be held at Benning race track June 5. <i and 7. Mr. Maxwell stated that, although no definite arrangements have been made, the committee is preparing to place on the lists every form of open air sports, and he mentioned trotting races, foot races, hurdles, potato races, tug-of-war, shot-putting, hammer throwing and other athletic tests, and a big automobile race in which some of the most prominent drivers in the country are expected to enter. Among the features of this fair, as he termed It, will be a country store, a balloon ascension and a combination "Midway." "Pike" and "Warpath' class of sideshows. Mr. Maxwell says the affair will closely resemble a cont'nuous three-day performance of an oldiashioned country circus. Program of Entertainment. The entertainment feature of the ladies' social session was opened by J. M. Dunn, cl airman of the entertainment committee, with a short address of welcome. The program Included the following numbers: Prof. Geo. W. Harvell, ventriloquist; Master Peter Becker, vocal selections; Miss Lilian M.

Exactly the same is true of the machinery of the body, which can do Its work properly only when kept clear of clogging accumulations. The bodily machinery of the human being is clogged when there is coustlpation and this can be permanently cured and prevented from becoming chronic only by" restoring the strength of weakened muscles.
