G.C. ‘The first of the semi-annual visitations by the grand commardery of the District of Co- lumbia of the United Order of the Golden Cross took place last evening to Goodwill Com- mandery, No. 21, at 1007 G street northwest, in the presence of a large number of members of the order, representing nearly all of the other commanderics. The exercises were made in- teresting by the exemplitication and discussion of the uuwritten work of the order, which was participated in by a large number. This com- mandery, which is the oldest in the District of Columbia, is also the largest, and has a mem- bership of nearly 150. The examination of the books showed the affairs of the commandery to be in good condition. The grand commander, Jobn N. Eble, was accompanied by Vice Grand Commander Lady Margaret McCutchen; grand prelate, F. C. Severance; grand keeper of records, F. E Woodward; grand treasurer, Richard H. Yates; grand herald, W. G. Perry; grand warders, Robt. D. Meston and Geo, J. b. Wood; past grand commander, A, G. Heyl- mun. Prior to the visitation Frank R. Johnson, Mattie E. Johnson, Mrs. Marcella V. Stiles and Jos. Scroggin were initiated into the first degree, Dr. 8. L. Groot occupying the noble commander's chair.

Asavon’s.—The Emma Juch English opera company received an ovation at Albaugh’s last night. The house was crowded and there was every promise that Manager Locke will have a Gounod’s “Faust” was produced plause was incessant from the rise to the fall of the curtain. Miss Juch ts so en- tirely an artist that everything she does she does weil. Some things she does remarkably well, and of this class is her Margwerite, She is the ideal Marguerite of the present day, and her impersonation contains so much clear, cor- rect music, perfect enunciation and artistic com- Pleteness as to make one forget many if not all of her predecessors. Miss Juch’s sup- port, while not perfect, is of a remarkably high order. Miss Lizzie Macnichol was enthusiasti- eally greeted by her many friends. She sung Siebel with correctness and spirit, Charles Hedmondt was acceptable as Faust, although @ little wavery on the upper notes. Alouzo Stoddard is always good as Valentine, while Franz Vetta’s Mephistop! eles is a combination of good acting and excellent singing. Tonight “La Somnambu!a” will be produced, Miss Mario Decca making her first aprearance. Natioxat.—Evans aud Hoey were welcomed back to Washington by a large audience at the National last night. “A Parlor Match” is about the best of the many skits produced during the last ten years. It contains plenty of good, honest fun, with something of a plot anda considerable quantity of excellent music. ‘The company is a good deal as it was last year. Evans as 1. MeCurker and Hoey as Old Hoss keep the house in a continual roar. The suc- cess of the performance may be laid a gcod al also to Miss Minnie French as The Inno- cent Kid and James Galloway as Capt. Kwid. Hanus’ Bisov.—“Fern Chiff” was presented at this house last wight to a large audience. The lay in iteelt is a comedy-drama, the scene ung laid during the late civil war at Fern Ch#,R.1. The story is well told in four acts by ® company of unusual merit, with E. H. fanderfelt in the leading role. The Dad Hewins of John Woodward was a pleasing bit of character acting. The role of Jin Hewins was assumed by Wm. Haworth, the author of the play. in a most creditable manner. John B. Maher as Harry Swift shows wonderful im- a since last year when he was seen a: talosopher Jack im the “Lights of London. Miss ebecca Warren as Hatlie threw much life im her part and gave a pleasing delineation of the rustic sweetheart. Keaxan's.-The famous Rentz-Santley novelty company opened an engagement at this house last night before a large audience. An original extravaganza entitled “La Tosca’s Receptior , & Moonlight Dip” opened the pertormance. This was followed by 4 number of specialties of unusual merit. The ‘mance closed with a spectacular burlesque entitled “Antony and Cleopatra.” —_———— Tax Arrestiox or Laxp Ovrgnatons is called &. ‘Rare Investment” under “Country Iteal Es- FISH AND OYSTERS SCARCE. Protective Laws Needed for Their Preservation and Propagation. “Good fish are very scarce,” remarked Mr. Gwynne Harris, inspector of marine products, to a Star reporter this morning, ‘scarcer than Thave ever seen them before, and they are cor- respondingly higher in price.” “What is the cause of the scarcity?” the re- porter inquired. (0 cause whatever,” resporded the in- spector, “except that the river is being dragged until the fish are not there to catch. Both Maryland and Virginia will soon have to enact some law for the protection of the fish in the river or the work of extermination will go on until the last fish is served for somebody's din- ner. Trap nets are placed in the river and kept there month in and month out, and for every good fish caught three smaller fish are killed. The states will soon be forced to enact some protective law or there'll be no fish left in the Potomac.” “How about oysters?” asked the reporter. “The oyster beds are also being dragged to death,” was his reply. “Some few oysters are coming i now but not in so large quantities as heretofore.” ae Winner of the Drill Championship. First Sergeant Myers of the Cor- coran Cadets was the victor in the much-talked-of competitive drill for a gold medal and the championship of the District national guard at the Corcoran Cadets’ fair last night. The Light Infantry armory has been crowded every night since the opening of the fair by the cadets and their many friends, | but last night the large drill room was packed to suffocation. Lieutenants Satterlee and Chase | of the third artillery and Capt. C. H. Ourand | acted as judges, “Twenty-four contestants shouldered arms when the assembly sounded at 9 o'clock, but after along and spirited con- | test Sergeant Myers was left in possession of the field. ——__ The Sunday School Union. The Sunday school union of the District held a meeting last evening at the Congregational church. Interesting addresses were made by | Mr. John B. Wight and Rev. G. W, Moore, who attended the international Sunday school con- vention in London during the past summer. Officers were elected as follows: President, W. Redin Woodward; vice presidents, L. D, Alden, | C. H. Carrington; secretary, Weston Flint; | treasurer, John B. Wight. It was decided to hold a series of meetings for the promotion of Sunday school work dar’ the coming winter. Two of a Ki “One of a name is all the same,” remarked an officer yesterday morning when two negroes, each named John Williams, appeared at the sixth precinct station in charge of Policeman McIntosh and Special Officer Ferguson. The negroes had stolen some bread from in front of Mansfield’s grocery store. The special offi- cer pursued one of the prisoners some distance and fired five shote at him, The prisoners plead guilty in the Police Court in the after- noon toa charge of larceny, and one of them said he ouly took the bread for fun. They were fined $5 each, (sae a Dinner to Lieut. W. E. Mason. The Columbia athletic elub contains no greater favorite than Lieut. W. E. Mason of the navy, better known in club life as “Skip Ma- | son.” Last night the boys got together and gave “Skip” a dinner at the Shorcham prior to his departure on the Petrel. ‘The affair was a big success, and the jolly lieutenant will always remember the event. Among those present were Vice President Hood, Secretary Perry, Dorsey Brown, Major Tucker, Lieut. May, ‘borough, Hassel, James McDonald, Sloan, Ward, Johns, Hills, Elder, Zeigler, H.T. Smith, McDermott, Jonas, Lhompson, Shaw, A.L. May, Merrill, Wagner. Larner, Hibbs, Harbin, Grant, Lieut. Fletcher, Mills Dean and Hon, Chas, E. Coon, =e The Ex-Soldier and His Fiddle. The joint of his right knee was enlarged con- siderably; one of the fingers of his lett hand was shorter than nature intended it to be, and on his decidedly worn vest was a medal, a Grand Army badge and four silver clasps which were inscribed “Company K, third Pennsylva- nia United States colored troops.” He sat on the top step in front of the White House yes- terday afternoon and told a Star reporter that his name was Francis Jackson; that he lived in Westminster, Md.; that he had been wounded at the second battle of Bull Run, where he was ® first sergeant, and that he wanted to see President Harrison about a long-delayed pen- sion. While he was telling his story he affec- tionately caressed an old violin case. in which he | suid was his “fiddle.” Capt. Dinsmore respect- fully referred him to Commissioner of Pensions Raum, but the veteran insisted that the Presi- dent was the game he was seeking. “I want to talk to him,” he said, “an’ when Tse done talked enuif I'se gwine to play a chune or two for him.” — The Real Estate Auction Sales. In the list of real estate auction sales pub- lished in yesterday's Stan the following were made through Duncanson Bros.: Part of lot 15, square 790; lots 2 and 4, square 461; lots G, H and I, square 579; north half of lot 24, square 732; lot 22 im square 816; lot 19, square 193; arts of lots 1 and 9, square 715; 43 acres, uown as Giesboro’ point and city; 190 acres, known as Lower Giesboro’; wood. lot near in- sane asylum, containing 39 puimanicesis cdeaniai Sent Him Back to His Mother. Sunday morning Albert Scott, a timid col- ored boy of sixteen years, walked into Sanitary Policeman Frank’s office at police headquarters and told the following story: He said he was raised here in the colored orphans’ home, and three years ago his mother took him out and carried him to Jersey City. On Saturday night she put him on the train with papers to get back to the home. As she had married again and was going to Chicago she wanted to get rid of him. He had an envelope on which was — written: “Open this, Albert, when you get in the depot at Washington; read it: your direction is inside.” ‘This he opened on arrival and found the fol- lowing: “Go straight to the home at once, Boundary and 8th streets. Washington, D.C.” “Give the other note to the matron. “*Heacock.” The note to the matron is as follows: Novemven 8, 1889, Dear Matron: Unasked you gave Albert to me, unasked I return him to you, as it seems an unlikely thing for him ever to be rt enough to earn even his salt. Please do some- thing for the balance of his time. Yours rest, Maretta Guan. They refused him admittance at the home, | junction of the main structure and the wing RIVER FRONT IMPROVEMENT. Col.

P, C, Hains, the engineer in charge of the work of improving the Potomac river front, has submitted to the chief of engineers his re- port of operations during October. There was $17,727.10,expended during the mouth, leaving an available balance of $38,258.67, outside of $52,602.14 worth of existing contracts. The operations consisted in the work at the reser- voir outlet and dredging in the Washington channel. At the ontlet all the wing walls have been built up toa height of 13 feet above the foundation or 6 feet above the level of low tide. The setting of stone wascontinued, and at the close of the month all the spandrils were in po- sition and the second course of the head walls nearly completed. The angle stones at the walls are being ret. A force of stone cutters was employed during the month dressin gtunite for the head walls. The gates are all framed and four of them practically completed. WORK OF THE DREDGERS, Under contract with the California hydraulic dredging and reclamation company about 40.- 400 cubic yards of material were dredged from the Washington channel and deposited on section 3. ‘This is the only dredging con- tract now in force and it is approaching com- pletion, there has been dredged a channel 350 feet wide and 20 feet deep between George- town and Giesboro’ point. This channel has filled up to about 14 feet on the up-stream side | of Long bridge. The Washington channel has i been dredged to a width of 350 feet and 20 fect deep, but by the freshet of June 2 this depth was decreased to about 19 feet. Nearly the entire area of the flats to be reclaimed has been | raised above the overflow at ordinary high tide. Of the 12,000,900 cubic yards required to fill the flats to the required height there have been deposited on them about 7,908,000 cubic yards. GEORGETOWN, Firty Bar Rooms.—There are about fifty saloons in this section and all of them have renewed their applications for licenses for the prosent year and made the necessary deposits, t is thought that all of them have the neces- sary signatures, The clause in license regula- tions concerning convictions will not operate against the saloon keepers west of Rock creek, as it is thougit that during the last year there was only conviction of a saloon proprietor tor violating the Sunday law. ‘The applications have not yet been investigated by the police nor have any of them been acted upon by the Commissioners, Lieut. Hollinberger said that in the sections of Georgetown where the largest number of saloons are the neighbor- hood is as quiet as any other, and persons walking along the street would hardly notice the saloons unless they were looking for them. AN ORNAMENT For Cunist Cuuncu.—The chancel of Christ church, Georgetown, has just been enriched by the addition of a most im- pressive representation of the Lord’s supper laced above a sedilia and a credence—the jatter be supported by an angel form, Bronze tablets engraved with the decalogue and the Lord’s prayer stand on either side of the last supper. The whole work. except these tablets, is in carved oak and is enshrined and canopied with finest wood carving, with pilasters, pediments and finials surmounted by statuary of the same material. This work of art was made to order in Munich and presented to their parish church by Mr. and Mrs, Walter T. Wheatley, who have recently returned from abroad, No Tuonoveurare.—The crossing at Bridge and High streets is almost impassable owing to the work on the large water main and the finish- ing of the electric railroad atthat point.

Almost im- ly, however, the young woman was startled by a request to remove her hat, from @ womun seated behind ber, The golden rule made it obligatory and the hat came off. All was quiet for a few minutes until a young man sitting behind the woman who had made the last request nerved himself to the point of sug- gesting that it would be a favor if she would remove her specimen of the milliner’s art, if the line had not been broken by the exist- ence of the young man it is impossible to _pre- dict where the much-needed reform would have stopped. ee ae Three Days in a Tree Top.
