Mr. H. Hensel, aelerk in the employ of

close the store last evening, discovered a
young colored boy of about 12 years of
age'hidden between two barrels of whiskey.
The boy, whose name is John Green, was
delivered to the custody of a policeman,
by whom he was escorted to the guard
house to await an examination before
acting Mayor Fianner this morning
Upon his arraignment before the city
court this morning, the boy stated that
a colored man named Henry Johnson
induced him to go in the store and hide,
and after it was cloeeJ to rob it and pass
the goods out to him. He also stated that
Johnson worked at the shipyard, and
being taken by a policeman to the ship
yard to- d iy he identified a
man named Henry Loftin as
the party whom he called Henry John
son. Loftin was arrested and locked up
to await bis examination to-morrow
morning. A search warrant was obtained
and Loftin 's residence, on Queen, between
Surry and Water streets, was searched ,
but nothing was found.
This man Loftin is the same who was
arrested several years ago on suspicion of
having set fire to the naval store yard of

FRIDAY, JUNE 27,
Closing Exercises or Misses Burr and
James' School.
The closing exercises of the Fourteenth
Annual Session of Misses Burr aud
James scLool took place yesterday at..
lint evening. The last part of the exercise,
whit h were those of t je evening. wtr
confined ro recitations, songs aud due s
together with performances of instrumental
pieces upon ihe piano aud the awarding
of the different scho l prlz-s to tbosowl o
were the successful coinjetitors for the
same.
The programme of the entertainment
last evening was ushered iu by a SaluU
tory from Miss M iry Cassidey, gepar
iug the large audience of ladies and
gentlemen, who were assembled iu the
School Room, for the interesting exbiui
tion which was soon to follow.
A solectiou from tne Oratorio of Danitl
by a full cnorus was theu rendered,
with piano accompaniment, iu a mott
delightful manner. This was fUowid
by the appearance on the rostrum of a
weetiuy little Miss of scarcely four sum
mere wno sang iu a very sweet strain "My
Doggie" which was most heartily ap
plauded. Miss Mary David was the next young
miss of only a few Summers who came for
ward, according to the programme, before
tha audience. The piece was the semi-chorus
and pantomime of Little Bo-Peep"and was
participated iu by live or six other young
misses, in addition to the little one al
ready mentioned, who acted the part in
the pantomime oi"Little Bo-Peep" iusuch
a manner as to bring rounds of applaute,
"The Old Clock on the-Stairs ' was beau
tifully recited by Miss Isabella fleiusber
ger. II Bacio-Aiditi, a solo, sung by Mies
Mary Cassidey, was most charmingly ren
dered and enthusiastically applauded.
"Brown Eyes close to the Wmdow,"by a
trio of three young voices, consisting of
Misses Florence Wood, Ella Van Orsdell,
aud Mary Vincent, was very pretty indeed.
A Legend of Bregeuz, reading, by Miss
Bessie Ledford, could hardly have been
surpassed in the manner of recitation.
"Is it Any body's Business?,'' a solo, by
Miss Athalia Lippitt, was rapturously
applauded and encored, which is ample
evidence of the successful rendition of this
fascinating little solo.
Oue of the most interesting features of
the entertainment, as it is one of the
mosf attractive features of the school, was
the object lessons which illustrated form
and color in song,while the objects were
held in the hands. The first, of form, was
done by means of curvilinear solids held ia
the hand while it was explained in
song. The second, that of color, showed
the blending and forming of colors by
means of pretty colored flags of different
hues representing the primary, second
ary and tertiary colors. This closed part
first, when, according to the programme,
the distribution of prizes tock place.
Toese were awarded by Captain A.L. Dej
Rosset in a most graceful an J pleasant
manner, adapting his remarks, which were
altogether impromptu, in tho happiest
style, as the occasion seemed to require,ac
cording to the recipient of the honor.
Ihe Excelsior Medals, which were the
prizes, as the name imports, for the best
order of merit, were awarded to Misses
Mary Cassidey, Ma' Cowan and Mary
VanOrsdell. In the next prize there was
a tie between Misses Nena aud Ella Van
Orsdell and Leo Cameron of tha third
class, and they were all awarded the second
prize. Mms lula Tnompson, of the fifth
class. Miss Rosa David, of the sixth class,
Miss Sallie Graftl n, of the seventh class,
and Master Henry VonGIahn, of the
eighth class, all received prizs.
In the First Composition Class Misses
Mary Cassidey aud Bessie Ledford were
competitors for the prize, but Miss Mary
Cassidey Lav ii g received a half mark of
credit more thau the other young lady, re
ceived an extra prize, which was the gilt
of Mr, Dickson Muuds, of this city.
Iu the Second Composition Class, Misses
Johnnie Quince and Ada Scbenck were
the happy recipients ot the prizes. .
Certificates as testimonials were awarded
to the following young ladies for excellence
in scholarship and d-.p-rtment, not over
three failures having been uaade by any
one of them during the scholastic ear :
Misses Bessie Ledford, iletti Btrlow,
Annie ileares, Augusta Moore A -in ie Von
Glahn and Isabella Heinsberger.

Messrs Brymer & (Jo. to the Ka'eiab

Present Habit of Hiding Habits
Riding habits are now no longer made
as long as formerly. They just cover the
feet. There is no longer any superfluous
goods in the riding habits; they are mado
tight fitting, but leaving perfect freedom
of movement to the body. There are
thre kinds of "pantaloon" worn with
these habits. First, is the one made, of
the same goods as tho hatit, and. worn
with ordinary gaiters. Tho second is the
half "pantaloon," tight on the end, aud
clo3ed iu with the soft black boot. The
third is the short trousors fastened above
the knee, terminating in leggings which
fasten over the trousers. The leggings
and trousers are al ways of the same goods
as flhe habit. Some ladies have heels to
thiir boots, but the plain boots, with flat
heels and strong soles, are the best for
riding purposes. The "stovepipe" hat
with a low crown aud narrow brim, io
