SOdETy AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL Two Royal Parties Entertained Yotrag Roosevelts at Home J7xth -trie Mumps Secretary Moody Goes Cruising on the Dolphin ASHDXGTON, May 9. Special Cor respondence.) Washington Is gay with the life and brightness of her Spring season. These months at the capi tal are attracting each year a larger number of visitors from at home and abroad. Two roval tiarties were entertained dur ing the week, their presence being made J the occasion for a revival of a semi-official round of gayety. A musicale at thB White House, a large afternoon reception at the home of ex-Secretary of State and Mrs. John W. Foster, a dinner "for men only" at the Chinese Legation, and an elaborate luncheon, with President and Mrs. Roosevelt among the guests, at Sec retary Hay's residence on La Fayette Square, were some of the notable events in honor of Prince Pu'Lun and his associ ates from China. Informal luncheons and small dinners marked the intervening days at the White House, where, on Saturday of the same week, the German. Princes and their party. were entertained at luncheon before they witnessed the President press the tiny button In the East Room, and thereby set in motion all the wonderful machinery that goes to make up the world's greatest Exposition in St Louis. Baroness von Sternburg Is In mourning for her father, the late Mr. Langham, of California, and in consequence the dinner at the German Embassy for the royal visitors was a private affair, making up in cordiality what it lacked In brilliancy of numbers. The guests were Prince Hohenlohe-Schlllingfurst and his sister, the Princess Elizabeth; the Princess von, Ratibor, Prince Karl von Ratlbor, Count von Ratimerskirsch, Madame Borgnis and Mile. Borgnis, who with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wlborg, of Cleveland, O.-, compose the royal suite. Prince Hohenlohe, who is a noted sports man and hunter, made a tour of Washing ton on horseback In company with the German Ambassador, one of the best rid ers in the diplomatic corps. Prince Rati bor is Governor of a Prussian province; his nephew, the hereditary prince, an of ficer in the Emperor's Gardes des Corps, and it was particularly In their honor that the Austrian Ambassador and Bar oness Hengelmueller entertained on Sun day evening at one of the most perfectly appointed dinners of the season. Jewels, gorgeous array and choice floral decorations were features of the occasion. Apple and cherry blossoms were artisti cally combined with palms in the decora tion of the drawing-rooms, and in the dining-room were used with ribbons In the national colors of Austria-Hungary. Cov ers were laid for 24, and in addition to the foreign guests there were present Mr. and Mrs. GIrard Foster, of New York; Baron and Baroness von Glskra, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas "F. Walsh, General O'Brien, Miss Warder, Miss King, Count Hoyps. of the Austrian Embassy, and Mr. Gutowski, of the Russian Embassy. Fruit blossoms, a la the Oriental cus tom, are being used quite extensively at smart entertainments. They formed the keynote in the decorations at the last Cab inet dinner and also at the Foster recep tion. They were particularly appropriate at the last named as the Chinese Prince was then the guest of honor. As an en semble, the affair gave the royal Oriental a delightful picture of Washington so ciety, amid almost Eastern surroundings, as the Foster residence contains rare curios and valuable embroidered draperies that were presented to America's noted diplomat on the occasion of his visit to the Far East Here also was the Prince made to feel most at homo by the presence of Colonel Thomas Symons, the President's aid-decamp, one of the few Americans who speaks pure Chinese. Other happy entertained visitors at the capital at this time are the young Roose velt boys, who were brought here from school with an attack of mumps. During their convalescence they were almost con stantly with their mother, going for walks, drives, to Congress, and to oc casional places of amusement. They went to the Strauss concert and heard the Bostonlans In "Robin Hood," with Mr. De Koven, the composer and their friend. within earshot Accompanied by the President, the fam ily joined several Army officers and wit nessed the final drill of the Fifteenth Cav alry and the Fourth Battery of Field Ar tillery at Fort Jdyer. The children are veritably "chips of the old block," for no more interested persons watched the troopers as they drilled for a week's en gagement at Madison-Square Garden un der the auspices of the Military Athletic League of America. The men wore the olive drab service uniform and the new service cap, which Is so like a Scotch cap that it makes them look quite English. It Is only a matter of looks, however, as they were thoroughly American in their work, winning applause at every round. These drills have become a feature of the Spring season and are looked forward to with much pleasant anticipation by so ciety folk and the people generally. In the artistic world, the 14th annual exhibition of the Washington Art Asso ciation, in the Hemicircle of the Corcoran Art Gallery, was an Interesting event The pictures hung were the best collec tion seen In years and included the won derful Van Zorn portrait of Representa tive HItt and several canvases that had received honors In the recent exhibit In the Pennsylvania Art Society in Philadel phia. Conspicuous among these was the Madonna, a prize-winner by Miss Mary Cassatt the talented sister of President A. J. Cassatt of the Pennsylvania Rail road. The American Water-Color Society has its annual exhibition in the American Art Galleries, New York City. These an nuals have proved a favorite show-place for Washington artists. This year the Capital will be represented by W. H. Holmes. Miss Bertha Perrie, Mrs. Carl Smith, Hobart Nichols, Mr. Gill and Miss Tiers. Mr. Holmes, whose splendid picture of a woman in white on the seashore was distinctly the picture of the year at a re cent exhibition, is one of the most ver satile men In Washington. A writer of force and ability, he also is an authority on certain scientific subjects and head curator for the National Museum, besides being Chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology. In the latter position he suc ceeded the late Major Powell, who was known to history as the pioneer in re search In the Grand Canon, and might almost be said to have discovered It so unknown had been its wonders before his expedition there In the early '70s. Students of the Corcoran Art School who are not sufficiently advanced to have their pictures hung at annual exhibitions, are having fun of their own in the room across the hall from the regular exhibit Visitors who come to the one must see the other. The regular show Is viewed with seriousness and awe; the irregular one brings shouts of laughter; so ridicu lous are some of the burlesques of the more prominent paintings in the "an nual." "The Sheltered Moon" is a picture In the fake show that attracts undue atten tion. It represents a gray poster with a large cloud in the sky and a moonlight effect Below the "painting" hangs a string, marked "Pull." When the request is compiled with, a-bright yellow moon, with smiling face, comes up and beams upon the onlookers. While there has been a thinning out in Congressional circles, the ranks have JLnot been materially depleted, as many MAY BE BRIDE OF SENATOR CLARK, OF MONTANA J-'?'N"i.jS"2s $: V3v MISS ADA LA CHAPPECXE. ' -3f. Is reported that the purpose of the trip to Europe of Senator Clark, the Mon tana copper magnate, is to marry Miss Ada La Chappelle, his protege, who has. been receiving a musical education in Europe at the Senator's expense. Senator Clark's interest in Miss La Chappelle dates from the time, six years, ago, when her voice attracted his attention and caused him to assume the expense of her edu cation, -which was begun in Washington. Miss Chappelle is 23 years old, and is the daughter of a Butte, Mont, physician, who died eight years ago. She has several brothers and sisters in Montana. Her mother lives In Minneapolis. It was said re cently that she, contemplated a grand opera career under the stage name "Montana." Senators and members have children in school here, and others are remaining to enjoy the rest and beauty of the Capital, without official cares. Some are busy with committee work and some have gone on the Dolphin with Secretary Moody of the Navy on a tour of Inspection of naval stations in Cuba and the Southern States. The Dolphin, primarily the President's boat, has been at anchor at the Washing ton Navy Yard most of the Winter await ing orders, and the ofllcers and crew wel comed the opportunity of going on a short cruise with "pleasant company" aboard. Originally the property of a New York yachtsman-member of the 400, the ship" was madejnto a torpedo-boat for service dur ing the Spanish-American War. It was not in the fight, and after peace was de clared was changed back Into a floating palace fit for the President as well as for the proverbial King. So much has been said about the use of a Government boat by the President that Mr. Roosevelt has made little use of It, and Mrs. Roosevelt has made but two THE DOMAIN OF MUSIC The continued and ever increasing inter est in the weekly concerts given by Ellers Piano House Is the most flattering tes timonial which the instruments used can receive. Music of the mechanical, hand organ type, no matter how produced,, loses its Interest as soon as the novelty has worn off. But though Pianola concerts have been given In Portland for years, attendance by Portland's most musical and cultured people Is constantly Increas ing. The Instruments used are the piano, played by means of the .Pianola, the Aeolian Orchestrelle and Aeolian Pipe Or gan. The resultant music possesses that human quality, which holds and charms and which can only be produced by the human hand, and Instruments of ex tremely flne mechanism and delicate ad justment Last Thursday evening, Aeolian Hall and the adjoining room were crowded with people, who enjoyed not only a very fine Instrumental programme, but also had the pleasure of hearing for the first time in Portland, a very promising young singer, Mrs. Anna Selkirk Norton, of Albany. Mrs. Norton not only pos sesses a very exceptional contralto voice, but a wonderfully artistic temperament which was evident In her singing, as well as the fine training which her voice has received. Her selections "An Irish Folk Song," by Foote and Vannah's "Good bye, Sweet Day," showed her fresh, sweet voice to most excellent advantage. The accompaniments as usual, were nlaved by means of the Pianola. It was Mrs. Norton's first experience in sing ing to such accompaniment, and she ex pressed herself as simply delighted with It. It was music festival time In Cincinnati, O., last week, and from all accounts the occasion must have been a great success, although the extended criticisms have not yet come to hand. Since 1S73, when the first of these biennial festivals was held, they have been among the most important features of muslc-maklng In this country- The festival opened last Wednes day evening with & rendition of the Bach B minor Mass. It is stated that this was the sixth complete performance the great work has had since it was written 170 years ago. It has "been given once before at the Cincinnati festivals, but for this year Mr. Thomas made unusual preparations, and the orchestral score was played by e. band In which the proper proportion Is preserved between the stringed and the wood wind instruments. The chorus of 500 attended to the choral numbers, and' the solos were entrusted to Miss Agnes Nlch olls. Mme. Schumann-Helnk, William Green and Watklns Mills. A miscellaneous pro gramme was offered Thursday afternoon, and Friday night "The Dream of Gerontlus," by Elgar. formed the principal feature of the con cert In this work Miss Muriel Foster had the solo music for the meszo soprano. A list ot miscellaneous selections was given yesterday afternoon. The festival closed last sight with the Beethoven Solemn Mass in D major, and the Ninth Symphony. Mr. Thomas had with him the entire Chicago orchestra, numbering 100 men. In a recent letter from Miss Grace Wilton, the well-known Portland planlste. comes fur ther proof of her success in her having been offered '& position as teacher In the artistic piano forte school of Victor Helnze, one ot America's foremost teachers of the Leschetlzky method. Miss Wilton's success reflects great credit on Miss Elizabeth Patterson Sawyers, also of the Leschetlzky School, with whom Miss Wilton studied the past Winter at the Be Pauw School of Music, in Indiana, her studies Including piano, counterpoint, fugue, form, history 'and German. Since early In April. Miss Wilton has studied In Chicago with Victor Helnze. who predicts for the young planlste an artistic career. Under the able direction of Martin E.

Mr. Cushman paused In his speech and stepping into the aisle halfway to the Speaker's desk, called in unmistak able tones: i "Mr. Speaker, I trust I am not disturb ing anybody by my remarks."

There Is room yet fdr more sing ers, and all those intending to Join the chorus are asked to make early application to Mr. Robinson at any of the rehearsals. The sacred opera will be sung and acted In costume, and the music is particularly inspiring. The scene is laid in Persia, in the year 500 B. C. when tho traitor Haman was Premier of the King dom. The part of Esther the Queen will be taken by Miss Ethel M. Lytle. mezzo' soprano. Mr. Robinson has given "Esther," "Belshaz zar" and similar sacred operas in other cities, from the Atlantic to tho Pacific, and will probably repeat "Esther" and "Belshazzar" at the approaching Chautauqua, at Gladstone Park. He recently produced "Belshazzar" at Astoria, with marked success. William Wallace Graham, assisted by Mrs. Albert C. Sheldon, soprano, and Mrs. Warren E. Thomas, accompanlste, gave a violin recital last Wednesday evening at the Grand Opera House, Salem, and it was quite a successful affair. A Salem newspaper. In speaking of the recital, says: "Mr. Graham displayed wonder ful talent and his numbers were executed in a manner worthy of a master. Mrs. Sheldon has a strong soprano voice capable of reach ing a very high register and preserving its volume. She was heard In seven numbers, all captivating and pleasing. Her rendition of "You and I" and 'Ave Maria were especially beautiful. Mrs. Warren E. Thomas, the ac companlste, executed the difficult compositions with ease and grace." The programme: Ro manzo, A minor, Op. 42 (Max Bruch); "Les Filles de Cadix" (Dellbes); "Irish Folk Song" (Foote);"Lynnovo's Song" (Kjerulf); "Xou and I" (Lehmann); "Sweetheart Thy Lips Are Touched With Flame" (Chadwick); Intro duction and adagio from 4th Concerto Op. 31 (Vieuxtemps); "Doris," with violin obllgato (Nevin); "Ave Maria," with violin obllgato (Gounod); Romanzo, F major. Op. 50 (Beetho ven), and Spanish Tanz, Op. 21 (Pablo de Sarasato). The ranks of that small group of Irrepres sible patriots, the nationalist composers, have lost an enthusiastic and loyal member in the sudden death of Autonln Dvorak. Their ranks were already sufficiently sparse, and in a hasty muster the names cf Eduard Grieg, In Norway; Balaklseff, Rlmsky-Korsakoff, Cesar Cut. Alexander Glagounow, Anatole Llndoff and Antolne Arensky, In Russia; Gustave Char pentler, in France (with Vincent d'Indy as honorary member), aro the most conspicuous of European composers. Despite the many fine qualities of his chamber music, concertos, symphonies and other works In classical form, it seems probable that it Is through his lyrics, his choral works and his unhesitating Bohe mian music that Dvorak will be best known to the musical world at large. In Bohemia there can be. small doubt that It wilL be Dvorak, the nationalist who will remain In their, hearts, the' patriot whom they admired and respected enough to make a member ot Parliament who served his country as effectively as a states man, by showing the world her dances, her songs and her fairy tales. Brown's Concert Orchestra, of this city, will furnish the first programme of the May Festl. val of the Willamette Valley Choral Union, at Salem, Tuesday evening, and will be under the leadership of Charles L.
