To Sing At Funeral.
The fLeiderkranz Society met at
Prof. Stein's Wednesday evening for
practice, instead of at their rooms in
Steoerwald's hotel, on account of the
illness of Charles Steuerwald Jr.
They will sing at the grave of the
late A. Y. Applegate. Mr. Applegate
used, to attend the meetings at?Stener
walds, and being very deaf he would
place a glass on the floor, put one end
of his walking stick into it and other
end between his teeth and listened to
the singing, of whioh he was very
fond. He wished them to sine at his
fnneral, so joined the society some
years ago for that purpose.
Want Good Weather.
"Everybody is hoping for better
weather. The weather of Wednesday
was just the weather for Good Friday
bat for Easter we want bright, clear
weather applicable to the day, and to
enable the lads and lassies to wear
their prettv Easter apparel with pleas
ure and oomfort.
Rev. H. M. P. Pearse made a very
truthful, earnest and ?impressive ap
peal to those who lose the Lord Jesus,
and asked for a more general religious
observance of the day, Good Friday,
in last week's Citizen. He stated
that the doors of Christ Church will
be open all day and devotional service
wiUbe held four different times. His
was that on that ,day at least
all Ohristans may be as one in thus
aeknowledging the love of Him? who
so loved us, that He gave HiB life for
_^>nr Salvation.
One of the pastor's, Rev. Mclntire,
responded to his appeal or, was of the
same mind, for, as was stated before,
he will hold a one hour's service of I
prayer and meditation of the^crucific
tion at 3.30 p. m. on Good Friday.
Another Lecture.
On Friday night Rev. D. W. G.
Molntire will deliver the fourth leo
tnre in the course, which is expeoted
to be very interesting. The subject
"The Island Saint, " is an attractive
one. x'his is a very busy week in all
of the ohurohes.

Site or the W<hlte Hnoae.
The site for the jiresident's palace,
as the first maps name it, was selected J
by President Washing-ton and Major '
L'Enfant when they laid out the fed- *
eral city in 1792. They purposed to !
have the president's house and the cap- '
itol reciprocally close to the long vista 1
formed by Pennsylvania avenue; and '
they also laid ou$ a park-like connec- 1
tion between the two great buildings. '
after the manner now proposed by the <
park commission. The plans for the (
house, selected by Washington and '
Jefferson as the result of a competi- '
tion in which L'Enfant took part, were '
drawn by James Hoban, a native of '
Dublin, and a medal man of the Society I
of Arts of that city. ? Charles Moore's 1

Secreta of the Atmosphere.
There are still mysteries connected '
with the trade and anti-trade-winds I
which Mr. A. L. Rotch, of the Blue Hill -
observatory thinks can best be solved
by sending up exploring kites, with
self-recording instruments, from a
steame* navigating between the
Azores and Ascension island. One of
the puzzling facts to be investigated
is that the behavior of volcanic dust
and clouds shows a strong easterly
wind blowing above the equator, which '
wind suddenly shifts at about 20 de- ?
grees north and south latitude to
southwest and west. This is not in
accord with the generally accepted hy
pothesis of the movements of the anti
trade-winds, and Mr. Rotch thinks an '
important discovery may be made. ?

Novel Birth Announcement.
To announce to his musical friends
the birth of a son a Welsh musician
sent a card simply bearing four bars
of music. They were recognized as
from "The Messiah;" "Unto us a child
is born, unto us a son is given." ? De

R?in Radioactive.
The points of lightning conductors,
the pointed leaves and spines of trees,
are always radioactive, and it has
been largely shown that freshly fall
en rain is so, too, and retains this
property for about an hour. ? Science.

To the American people the white
house represents the personality of
the president of the United States. To.
the politician the magic words may
;t and for the goal of an ambition too
jften associated with the deepest and
nost, poignant disappointment; while
to the historian the name may typi
fy decisions that have marked epochs
n the affairs of nations. In the mind
if the people, however, the official
character of the building has always
seen subordinate to its domestic uses.
Popularly speaking, the white house
s the place not where the president
ivorks, but where he entertains. ?

American Wells In China.
The city of Nankin, though the
southern capital of China, does not
aossess a waterworks system. The
\merican consul, Mr. Martin, put down
l "drove" well. The "American well,"
is i-t is called, soon attracted the at
tention of high officials living in the
iity, who one after another came to
;ee and test it. The result of their
nvestigations was the setting apart
jf an amount of money to be used in
securing like wells about the city, to
:he number of 100. ? N. Y. Sun.

"My dear," said Mrs. Cawker to her
daughter, "when you are at Mrs. Cum
so's this afternoon I hope you won't
think of repeating- that bit of gossip
ibout Mrs. Gilfoyle that Mrs. Fosdick
told us this afternoon."
"Why, mamma?"
"Well, because it would be ungener
ous and unkind, and I don't think Mrs.
Gilfoyle would like it told; and, be

Tb? Spectroscope in Astronomy.
In the field of astronomy the spec
troscope is often more serviceable

times more powerful than any we now
possess could ever reveal. ? Scientific

"Yes," said D'Auber, the artist, pat
ronizingly, "I'm selling my canvases
now at my own prices."
"You don't say?" replied Sharpley,

"Yes, indeed. I suppose you'd give
a good deal to be a great artist?"
"No indeed. I'd rather be you." ?

Easter week will inaugurate several ,
good things in the theatrical world at
Prootor's various nlaoes of amuse
ment. A production of more than
passing interest will be jjiven at
Proctor's Fifth Avenue Theatre of
"The Face in the Moonlight, " a ro
mantio drama in four aots, by Charles ,
Osbrone. Next week William Brani
well will play the dual roles of Viotor
and Jacques Ferrand, while Minnie
Seligman will appear as Lucille.
The best continuous show in town
will be in vogue at Proctor's Twenty
third Street honse next week. The
"headline" act is one that vnudeville
can be proud of, for nearly every man,
woman and child who has ever attend
ed the theatre has seen John and
Emma Rav. After considerable nego
tiation Mr. Proctor has secured these
stars of "A Hot Old Time" and they
will appear in their newest vaude
ville sketch, entitled "Casey, the
Fireman. "
Grace George's engagement in i
"Prettv Peggy" at the Herald Square
Theatre, New York, continues suc
cessful. The entertainment is a de- j
lightful ono, in which a charming
story full of life and dramatic action
is given added interest bv the presence
of the young girl who is introduced
as the star. Miss George never has
appeared to better advantage than in
"Pretty Peggy," where her ingenuous
ness, unaffected manner and graceful
demeanor add continually to her fol
lowing.
In addition to announcing the last
two weeks of "A Chinese Honey
moon" at the Casino, it is stated that
the 400th consecutive performance of
the musical triumph at that pretty
and popular playhouse will be cele
brated on the evening of Wednesday,
April 22nd. So successful have been
the several souvenir performances of
"A Chinese Honeymoon" that Man- 1
agers Sam S. Shubert and Nixon &
Zimmerman have resolved to make
the last one of special significance and
vaule to patrons. They will in con
sonance with this object give souvniers
bpth at the 899tli and 400th perform
ances.
All reports from Buffalo, Utica and
other cities up-state where ' ' There and
Back" has been presented this week,
agree that the Messrs. Shubert have
the laughing success of the decade in
this play by Mr. George Arilss.
Messrs. Sam S. and Lee Shubert
have completed the list of forty prin
cipals who will help to make up the
total of 160 players and musicians who
will appear in their new Casino show.
After two weeks out of town the first
in Washington and the second in
Philadeplhia, it will take the place
which 'A' Chinese Honeymoon" has
held for more than a year at the
Casino. Among the principals of
"The Runaways," as the new produc
tion has been named, are three prima
donnas, Miss Dorothy Dorr, Miss
Amelia Stone and Miss Helen Lord.
If laughter and applause can be
taken as an indication of the measure
of enjoyment of an audience in wit
nessing performance, the demonstra
tions of approval of "Mr. Bine Beard"
at the Knickerbocker Theatre oan >
only be regarded as indicative of un- (
nsnal satisfaction. Many hits have
been made on Broadway, both this
season and in years past, bnt none has
ever impressed an andienoe like "Mr.
Blue Beard. " It represents the high
est attainment in scenic effeots and
beautiful costuming and in comia
musical entertainment, and is, by
long odds, the most gigantic thing in
the sfiape of an amusement that the
American stage has ever presented.
Last Monday morning Klaw & Er
langer began the reconstruction of the
New York Theatre, which will reopen
in September, completely remodeled
aud redecorated, with an entirely
new and very elaborate production of
"Ben Hur." The stage will be en
larged ten feet, the boxes in the bal
oonies will be extended. When com
pleted the New York Theatre will be
one of the finest in New York.

As a result of a conference yester

ended last night.
The strike of 10,000 bituminous
