The soloists were Miss Mary Howe and Mr. Wim. Lavin, and no two singers have visited this city this season who have more thorough satisfaction.

Last night sbe but deepened the favorable impression she had made here and gave additional proof of her right to be considered the present queen of the concert stage. Mr. Lavin was an agreeable surprise, after listening to the efforts of the alleged tenor who sang in the “Messiah.” He has s voice of exceptional purity, and he sings with an ease id grace that is very pleasing. The society Was generally obedient to the baton ofits direc- tor, Mr. ry Sherman, ai ia most of its efforts did its work well. paves Fined for Both Offenses.

Father Dunn came to this city about five years ago and had been at St. Dominic's Convent ever since. He was born in Canada in 1833, but remoyed to Obio early in his youth. He was educated at St. Joseph's College, Perry county, Ohio, and, after entering the Dominican order, became & professor at that college. He afterward entered ‘the Dominican order, lived in Louisville,Zanes- ville, Ohio, and York, where he worked ealously in the interest of this order. During this time he was chosen provincial of the Province. A requiem mass will be solemnized atSt. Dominic's Church Friday morning at 9 @'elock. The remains will be transported to Obio by the 3:30 train Friday afternoon. —— A Break in the Cable.

Thousands | DUNLAP WILL BE A SENATOR. How the Weshington Base Ball Club is Getting Keady for Business. Manager Sam Trott and Director Scanlon are holding daily conferences at base ball head- quarters for the purpose of organizing the new National team, and they are making very en- cotraging headway. Itis probable that Second Laseman Dunlap will sign a National contract ty-four hours, as he has come up to fered him by the local magnates and is willing to wear the Scuatorial uniform. Negotiations for the rest of the team are being pushed with vigor, and there is no doubt that every place will be filled by the ist of March with good and efficient ball tossers. THE EXBIBITION SEASON will be opened on about the 27th of March and willcontinue for about eighteen or twenty days. Plays cre now being laid for a series of games with some strong teams, beginning with college nines and developing to the stronger aggregations of the other asociations as the home team bogins to develop itself. ‘The regu- lar season, for which the scheduic has not yet been arranged, will most likely open on the 18th of April with either Philadelphia or Bos- ton on the home grounds. ‘The bids for the work on the new park will be opened tomorrow or Saturday, and work will be begun about next Monday on the grand stand. It iy designed to erect a three-nided tructure to seat between twelve and fifteen hundred people. It will not be as high from | the ground as that at Atlantic Park, and will afford less room underneath for lockers, offices, &e., but as there is not the same eramping for land at the new park it will not be necessary utilize the stand for these purposes. ‘The front, 2 straight section of the stand, is to be 100 fect long, aud cach wing, which will take an angle of about thirty degrees, 50 feet. ‘There will also be two open stands or bleachers sufficient run the seating capacity of the grounds up h will eacced the figure ever at- | tained by any ball grounds ever established in this city. AT THE EW PARR. Owing tothe amplitade of the park, which contains mach more room than is really needed, the stands will not be next to the fences on any side and there will be plenty of space all around for tie hitching of horses aud for other pn: poses. A change has becn decided upon in the arrangement of the diainond, eo that the bat ting will be done from the west to the east, and the grand stand will be built with its back square to the west. ‘The bleachers will run off from it ataslight angle. That on the south will seat the great bulk of the outside spectn- tors. The seats are to be made as comfortable as any uncushioned bench can be and will be twelve inches wide each, with a tread of an equal space and aisles running from top to bot- tom every thirty fee: or so. 3 There will be no difficulty in gotting this work ali done by the first of April, and it is very likely that it will be all done by the opening of the exhibition season, so that spectators to these early games will not be annoyed by the progress of the work around them.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Perhaps one reason why we cannot obtain sailors for our new navy and have to depend so largely on foreigners is the poor pay now given to the Jack Tars. In 1801 able seamen were paid $17 per month, ordinary seamen €12 and Loys $8. Captains received 100 per month, lieutenants $40 and midehipmen $19. Now captains get #873 per month, or three and three-quarter times as much as in 1801, and the able seamen $25 per month, an increase of a little less than 50 per cent over the wages of 1801. Perhaps if Congress would give the sailors two and a half times what they got in the beginning of the century, or about 42.50 per month, Americans could be found who would man our navy. No doubt there are good reasons why the pay of midshipmen, now called ensigns, should be raised from $228, as it was in 1501, to 21,000, as it is now, but sume apply to sailors’ wages. A sober, hon industrious man can earn from #40 to $75 per month (according to his skill in his callmg) on shore, aud why should he be expected to brave the dadgers of the sea for €25 per month and live on “hardtack” und “salt horse,” with “plum duff” occasionally for desert? Xo won- der we tind so many Italians, Chinamen and Greeks in the navy. Dv. ee Help for the Western Sufferers.

FIFTY YEARS MARRIED. Mr. and Mrs. George Willner Happily Cele- brate Their Golden Wedding. ‘Mr. and Mrs. George Willner celebrated their golden wedding last night.

I have looked over the ground and Iam sure that there is at prescut no building ready to hand that would answer all the requirements, but itseems to me that it would be worth while for some one to put up a temporary structure and lease it to the government. ‘A one or two story building would answer providing it had at least 30,000 square feet of floor space. or say 20,000 feet on each floor if the building were in two stories.

It is understood that a syndicate of business men has been endeavoring of late to consum- imate a deal in property that would enable them to offer the post office officials a home until their new building is completed. For some reason or other the deal seems to have fallen throngh and matters are no further ahead than they were before. get ee ANACOSTIA, ‘THE YocaL socreTY.
