Notwithstanding the fact that the weather kept cool so late that people did not think of beginning their summer travels as early as usual, there are many arrivals here daity, and the place is now very lively, As large a num- ber as the old hotel and its spacious new addi- tions and the cottages will accommodate are cted by the first of Augu Among those now hereare the wife and family of General Roger A. Pryor, of Brookly Rev. De Witt Talmage, wife, and a handsome young daughter into lovely womanhood; Ex-Sena- n and fainily, of South Carolina; vernor Matthews, of this state, and his wife and family; and General N. L. Anderson e dall, Powell Bradley and Philip Phillips, of Washington. Mr. W. W. Corcoran has written to a friend here that he | expects to come to this place, accompanied by his niece, Miss Jones, between the Ist and 5th of August. Among others who “it is said” have accepted invitations to come here during the season are President Arthur, General Grant and Oscar Wilde, Every preparation is made for the reeeption of acrowd and their entertainment until the close of the season, which is to be prolonged through September, as the running races begin on tie 29th of August and continue into Sep- tember. The manager of the Pimlico course at Baltimore has charge of the preliminaries here. The course will be as_ unique as everything else is here. A plane at the base of a beautiful shaped mountain across the Greenbrier river, within three-quarters of a mile of the hotel, 1s now being laid out fora mile track. Irregular shaped mountains rise, one above the other, on all sides, and no one need weary while waiting between the races, as the eye can feast upon the charming landscape spread ont to view. Nothing in the world resembles this spot. Between now and September the amusements will be similar to those at other fashionable resorts. The ladies dress elegant!y and throng | the ball room in the evenin: In this hand- somely appointed hall daneing is enjoyed with more zest than at the northern resorts.

IMPROVEMENTS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF F STREET— A HANDSOME PRIVATE RESIDENCE ON I STREET. One of the most gratifying proofs of the rapld growth of Washington and of the demand for buildings affording increased accommodations for offices and store purposes 1s the way in which the north side of F street, between 9th and 10th streets, is being built up. Tkis square presents a busy scene, the result of which In a few months will be almost an entire block of new butidings. Notice- able among these 1s the one being built by Mra. Fitzhugh Coyle, nearest 9th street, from designs by Mr. C. H. Read, jr., architect, and 1s being erec- ted under his supervision by Mr. Wm. C. Morri- son, contractor. It will be a double three-story and basement building, for stores and offices. The entrance from the street will be into an open tiled vestibule, 8 feet by 9 feet square, and by doors opening into stores on the right and left hand. A wide stairway in front leads up to floors above, which are fitted for office purposes with flre-proot safes and modern conveniences. The upper floor has already been secured by some of the best known artists in the city for studios, and has been designed to sult thelr special wants. The central vestibule entrance 1s a new feature, and secures tor each store the greatest possible amountof light and show-window exposure. ‘The front fs finished in best selected red brick, laid 1n red mortar, with ornamental belt courses of moulded brick and terra cotta trimmings. A handsome private residence designed by the same architect has Just been commenced by Mr. L P. Baldwin, contractor, on “I” street, near 18th street, for Mr’ R.C. Johnson, of Richmond, Va, ‘This Will bea doubie house, having a frontage of forty feet, and the convenient arrangement of parlor, library, dining room, and stoking room around a central hail, in which a handsome stair- Way and fireplace afe prominent features, with Uft going from ba: it to upper floors.

Theaters and Theatrical Matters— Managers a Their Ways—Haverly, Abbey, Daly, &c., &c. Special Correspondence of Tux Evexrxa STAR. New York, July 14th, 1882. HAVERLY’S HALT. It begins to look as though Col. J. H. Haverly is @ total and irredcemable failure. He was the greatest theatrical manager we ever had, and his name had become a household word. But where ts he now? In Europe. What nas become of his im- mense enterprises? Nearly all closed up or sold out. He had three of the biggest theaters in New .York—the Fitth Avenue, Niblo’s Garden theater, ‘and the Fourteenth Street house. Now he has only a. part interest in the last and least of the three. He has no longer the control of the thea- ters he formerly owned in Chicago, St. Louts and San Franetsto, 8nd all of his enterprises had been long disbanded, except the Georgia Minstrel Troupe. Now that has been sold to Chas. Froh- man, and Haverly 1s absolutely without an attrac- tion, When he went away he made over all of his bustness to J. B. McConnell, of Chicago, and that gentleman began at once to lop off and ‘cut down on all sides.“ According to is story, Mr. Hav- erly, though directing and partly owning nine of the most important theaters in America, and runing five immense traveling attrac- tions, was actually losing money, but did not know it, He made a monstrous splurge his name was on nearly all the dead walls and fences of the country, his picture was pasted every- where, and he was spoken of everywhere as the greatest manager of the the, and yet he was con- Stantly sinking deeper and de . It would seem as though Mr. Haverly did not know his own posi- tion at all, for he belleved himself in financial condition and laughed at the idea of'failure. He was convinced finally by the logic ot Mr. McCon- nell’s figures. He owed that gentleman a great many thousand dollars, which, probably, made the explanation of Mr. McConnell more foretble. But Haverly went away in good spirits. He was given a grand farewell when he sailed. The Steamer City of Rome never had such a crowd as on the day that she carried “Col.” Haverly abroad. All the theatrival people of the city were there, including a band of a hundred pteces made up from Haverly’s combined orchestra, and led by his big drum-major in full uniform. They played a march entitled “The Haveriy Farewell.” and the steamer was filled with the manager's friends. He Went about among them, taking each hand in both of his. Strangers wondered who this little and overworked-looking man was who wandered about with his hat on the back of his head and his ulster turned up in the neck, and shook hands with hundreds of peopie, ealting nearly all by their first names, He was overwhelmed | with Tarewells, and the pler was a sea of way- ing handkerchfefs as he sailed away. I wonder how many of these same people will go down to meet him when he returns! Some people claim thay he was too kind hearte | that he felt such an aversion to disbanding any of | his organ‘zations, for fear of leaving his people out in the cold, that he would keep themgoing and make the more successiul ventures t¥foutary to their support. Againjt was said that he was too stubborn, and would not let a thing drop when it becan to rua behind. For Instance, take the Brooklyn theater. He made up his mind that it to erect an entirely new structure over re the awful casualty occurred a fe ‘ . Friends tried to dissuade him, ai pointed out that it was not a good place for a the- ater, aside from its horrible assoctations; but he went right on an? put up a costly bullaing, and opened it with Immense e All season long he made herculean efforts to draw the Brooklyn | people there, Dut in vain, They would not visit the | house.

It ts possible that he jmight have kept things going if he had more closely, but he had ney in’ Caltforn od that it would pan out In in the habit of speaking of his culations a8 of no consequence, be- ing Investments; but events have proved that he was too sangulue about what the | earth was to give htm. It is a pity to loose a of Mr, Haverly’s good nature and warm hearted- | ness, from the ranks of managers, most of whom are inore like sharks than men. Not that we have tu liy lost lin, but that it looks as thouzh we I don’t place any credence in the elaborate he just had cabled across about the “Great leah Amusement Company (itmlted).” Very e in it. It has been tried before, ailure. ‘This one 1s, aecarding capital of several million with a paid staff and Mr. Haverly as It !s to get its capital from speculators, pald_ in large dividends—perhaps. ly could not make dividends for him- ake them for other s, it is not possible to get all the suntry under one man’s control. ar, and always will be, the man who attempts to speculate in the he would in tea or sugar, 1s laying the way for {t demolition of his rortune.

The manage: provinelal tueaters have learne by exp poor combinatt k themselves ‘everywhere, as forme: rbination system has given birth to what may be termed MONOPOLISTS IN THE DRAMATIC WORLD. ‘The firm of Brooks & Dickson, for Instance, con- trols a vast deal of the theatrical business of meriea, and can dictate {ts terms to local man- agers with confidence, The firm has made an enormous amount of money. Lt thinks nothing of aying $10,000 In cash for a single play before It Eas been produced before any audience, ‘The fact that the play was written by the author of the Lights 0 London” and “The World” 1s enough for Brooks & Dicksou, because they cleared $80,000 on the first and more than $100,000 on the second | of these plays last season. They own and control | twenty-three theaters in the twenty-three prin- cipal ‘cites of America, except New York, and have interests In other houses. ‘Then they have a number of combinations, all of first-class talent, which they send over thé country. They control so many Irouses that they can Virtually manage the market themselves. It a theater doesn’t give them the terms and time they ask. none of their | combinations will play there, and their influence will be against it ull it ylelds. Asa rule, it yields at once, for the firm has some of the best combina- tions on the road, and every manager 1s anxious to secure them. hus they monopolize the attrac- tons and theaters. A SINGLE ATTRACTION MAN. Another and entirely distinct type of manager is Henry E. Abbey. He has succeeded marvelously so far in the opposite course from the one Haverly pursued. He did not attempt to get a number of enterprises under way, but devoted himselt to se curing the greatest attractions of Europe for American tours. He brought Salvini, when no one else could get him; he got Bernhardt, when everyone else had failed; he made Pattt’s trip in America a triumphal march, and he has now se- cured Mrs. Langtry and Henry Irving. He gets them by offering and giving security for tremen- dous percentages. I have often wondered how he could make money, andI don’t believe he does make much; but he ts certainly successful. Thus far he has fafled in his negotiations with the great Nilsson, but that was not to his discredit, as she ts & proverbially difficult person to get aiong with. No less than seven American managers crossed the water tosecure Mrs. Langtry, but they couldn’t get a word with the haughty beauty. Abbey, with 13 customary shrewdness, went to Labouchere, the editor of the London Truth, who 1s Mrs. Lang- try’s adviser, and laid his check-book before him. ‘The result was that he secured the famous beauty. How he prevailed upon Mr. Irving and Miss Ellen ‘Terry to come 1s hard to divine; Dut they are com- ing in ’82, and with them comes the entire com- pany of the Lyceum Theater in London and nearly all of the scenery. ‘The tast objection that Mr. Irving made to visiting America was that he would have to leave his theater idle; whereupon Mr. Abbey at once offered to take it off his hands and pay a Itberal rent. So, while Mr. Irving {s starring under Mr. Abbey in America, that versatile man- r will run his theater with a continual change of American combinations. He will have them all over there—Mary Anderson, Lotta, Magic Mitche ell, The Tourists, Harrigan and Hart, Lawrence Barrett, &c., &c. He says a trip to Lurope costs less than bair as much 48 one {0 San. Francisco, and he believes it will pay twica as much. Mr, Abbey is nbthing if not enterprising. DALY AND HIS LUCK Mr. Augustine Daly ts one of the stay-at-home managers. He has one of the most charming the- aters in New York. He hasworked like a Turk for two seasons, now, but the luck seems to go against him. During the season just closed, the first six pleces he produced were all dead failures, and he only “ caught on” suightly at the end of the Season. Nothing could exceed eare and labor he devoted to scenery and people, and his plays always went and | , but none of them took with the public. They were all novel- ties, and were in many cases good translations and adaptions of plays that had long runs in Paris, but the verdict was them. ay Iu Memoriam Dr. James C. Hall. Tt will be remembered that when the late Dr. J. C. Hall died, a little more than two years ago, he left by will, after providing Mberaily for all bis rel- atives, a very handsome sum of money to both the Orphan’s Asylum and the Children’s Hospital of this city. As Dr. Hall was unmarried, and there- fore left no descendants to discharge that duty, the directors of the two charitable institutions which were benefltted so largely by his personal interest and attention while living and so mu- Mificently remembered after death, thought it due and fitting that they should erect a suitable mon- ument over his grave. Arrangements to that end were set on foot some time #go, and the result has been reached by placing the proposed shaft over his last resting place in Congressional Cemetery a few days since. Bearing in mind the Doctor's weil known simple tastes, and his aversion to display of any kind, the committee in charge of the work were caretu! to procure such a memorial as would be in keeping with his character and, at the same time, suitable for the pu in view; and the result 1s, it is be- iteved, all that could be desired in those respects. ‘The inonument, which is of beautiful, unblemished Richmond granite, consists of a broad buse in three sections, varying in size, a plinth, and a tapering obelisk, the whole reaching a height of nearly twenty-five feet, and forming a structure at once simpie and pleasing in outline, harmoni- ous in proportions, impressive in effect, aud dura- ble in character. The four sides of the plinth are highly pol- ished, and that in front or facing the road wa: bears the following inscription, deeply cut in bloc or gothic letters, uniform in size and shape throughout: ERECTED BY THE WASHINGTON CITY ORPHAN’S ASYLUM AND THE «CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL ‘OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, JOINTLY, TO MARK THE GRAVE OF DR.

C., JUNE 7, 1880. ‘he design was selected and the work done un- der the supervision of a joint committee repre- senting the two institutions named, consisting of Messrs. S, H. Kauffmann, Thomas J. Fisher, 8. C. Busey, F. B. McGuire and Eaward Temple, thewhole being executed and erected by Mr. D. McMenamin, of Capitol Hill, whose design and proposal were ac- cepted after carefully canvassing those submitted by similar establishments from Baltimore, Phila- delphia, New York and Boston.

CUMBERLAND, Mp., July 14, 1852, It has been four menths to-day since the mines in the George's Creek region were in operation. Not only hundreds of thousands, but millions of dollars have been forever lost to this community. ‘The question as to when and where it will end 1s indeed fast becoming an important one. The Com Solidation Coal company, feeling it incumbent to establish their right to employ any labor they may choose to select, have for some time now worked one of thelr mines with Swedish, Hungarian and other emigrants. A number of policemen have been employed to protect the new comers. The different coal companies have no faith in each er. ‘They are competitors, and are always realy to outbid and undersell each other. When they joined together against the miners there were no promises made; but they made an agree- tent that will bring fikancial Tuin to every one that breaks it. It is the knowledge of this that President Charles F. Mayer's way clear wo accomplishinent of his end. ‘The strike leaders every one else sees—the smaller nies indissolubly bound to the wheels of the Consoltdation Coal company, which 1s using tts in- exhaustble in’ the Importation ot foreign labor, and that labor opening up and suc cessfully working one of the miues of this great company. ‘They must see unmistakable evidences of the determination of the company to keep on importing new labor until every mine under its control is filed with strangers and twelve hundred worthy and needy miners are robbed of all nees Of employment and have notulng left better than exile trom the community which their labor has built up and made prosperous. ‘Thes2 leaders must know that two thousand Chinamen fered the operators here with a guarantee ch celestial would dig at least four tons of oul per day after the first sixty days, They also know that it would have cost ‘the companies less to import and provide for 2,000 of these heathens than for 500 of the Caueassian race. Compromise is Still possible.

Look at the VAST BEDS OF UNWOKKED COAL owned by the Maryland, American, and Consolida- tion coal compantes. The talk about the speedy exhaustion of the Blg Vein is all gammon. At Barton the American company has nearly a hun- dred acres without a hole tn it, with lots of pillars yet to be removed in the old workings, Below Barton is the flne property of the Potomac com- pany with hundreds of acres untouched.

THE CANAL PRESIDENCY. ‘There {s no such good fuck in store forthe people of Alleghany county as to have Henry Loverldge as the new president of the Chesapeake and Ohio canalcompany. The canal company is known to be in greatly embarrassed circumstances, and under the present management unable to borrow @ dollar for any purpose. The effort to get Mr. Lovert to take charge of its affairs was made In the ope of reviving its credit. The splendid effort le by Mr. Loveridge to secure an addi- tional outlet for the coal of the George’s Creek region a yearago was crowned with success, and heer for the people, as well as himscif, an en- luring triumph. Doubtless all those who ridiculed the idea of such’ thing to pass when It was first spoken of, will award him at least a few words of praise. The shipments by the Chesapeake ard Ohio canal were increased, and the youl man in the trade showed those who had been in it for years that something new could bedone to help along this particular industry, which has done so much for Washington and Cumberland. For man years Cumberland was compelled to de- pend upon a single corporation for its means of communication with other cities, and in conse- oo thereof 1t has made no proceees, in manu- actures, for the reason that its subjection to a tariff of localireights has utterly forbidden any manufacturer to compete with those of other [alesse ae ee bd not bagi A Teason suftte! good luce a change from which we suffered. we had the mn of resorting to a legitimate method for the purpose of securing a competing road, throt the instru- mentality of which we might be enal to secure a reduction of freights, and thus be put uj footing equally as as that of other with which we might struggle for trade. _ CUMBERLAND’S RAILROAD FACILITIES.

THREE CONFLAGRATIONS WITHIN AN HOUR—THR CITE ALARMED—FALSE RUMORS OF INCENDIARISM BY STRIKERS—FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS Lost. From the N. ¥. Herald to-day. Great excitement was caused in the police and fire departments last evening by the almost sim- ‘ultaneous outbreak of three fires inas many dif ferent parts of the city. Shortly before seven o'clock an alarm was sent over the wires cal the engines to the downtown district.

Sin The Codfish, From the Laramie Boomerang. This tropical bird very seldom wings his way so far west as Wyoming. He loves the sea breezes and the humid atmosphere of the At- * lantic ocean, and when isolated in this moun" tain clime pines for his native home. The codfish cannot sing, but is prized for his beautiful plumage and seductive odor. The codfish of commerce is devoid of diges- tive apparatus and is more or less permeated 2 with salt. Codtish on toast is not so expensive as quail on toast. The codfish ball is made of the shattered re- mains of the adult codfish mixed with the tropl- cal Irish potato of commerce. The codfish has a great wealth of glad, unfet- tered smile. When he laughs at anything he | has that same wide waste of mirth and back | teeth that Mr. Talmage has. The Wyoming | codfish is zeneraily dead. Death in most cases | isthe result of exposure and loss of pepe | No one can iook at the codfish of commerce an not shed a tear. Far from home, with his system filled with salt, while his internal economy is gone, there is an air of sadness and home sickness and briny hopelessness about m that no one can see unmoved. It is in our home life, however, that the cod- fish inakes himself felt and remembered. When - he enters our household we feel his all pervad- ing presence, like the perfume of wood violets | or the seductive odor of a dead mouse in the piano. eicais may visit us and go away-to be for- gotten with the advent of new faces, but the coid, calm, silent corpse of the codfish cannot be forgotten. Its chastened influence per- meates the entire ranch. It steals into the parlor like an unbidden guest and flavors the mae | curtains and the high priced lambrequins, enters the dark closet and dallies lovingly with | our swallowtail coat. It goes into your sleep- ing apartment and make its home in your glove box and handkerchief case. That is why we say it is a solemn thing to take the life ofa codfish. We would not do it. We would pass hi ‘@ thousand times, no matter how ferocious he might be, rather than take his life and have our once happy home haunted forever by his unholy presence. ne. Skobeleff and Suvoroff. It is difficult to end any account of Skobeleff without some comparison of him with the only other thoroughly original native soldier whom Russia has yet produced. At first sight, inm- deed, such a man as Alexander Vasilievitch Suvoroff, the typical soldier of Catharine II's reign, might seem to be the very antithesis of the great leader who has Just fallen. Exter- nally, it must be owned, no two men could well contrast more strongly than the slovenly old marshal, who rarely washed and never shaved, changed his shirt once a month, and ey eyed yor neral, fai 'y Tent cf ecented soap, and curling his trim mous- tache with a hand which a Suvoroff had a tongue as rough as his hair, style of speech as foul as his linen; Skobeleff was always studiously polite.
