The Early Closing Movement in the Real Estate Offices. THE NEW ASSESSMENT. Some Valuable F Street Property Offered at Public Sale During the Past Week — Im- provements That Are in Progress in Vari- ous Parts of the City. ee eee HE EARLY CLOSING movement has reached the real estate offices and frong today until September 1 next a large number will be closed at 1 o'clock on Seturdays. The banks close at 12 o'clock on Saturdays all the year around, while for two or three years past several of the largest business establishments have adopted for the summer season the Saturday half holiday custom. It is likely that this holiday will be very generally observed in this city just as is the case now in New York and in other large cities throughout the country. The young men who are said to do the work in the real estate offices, so that the bosses may have time for reflection, have made several at- tempts to get earlier hours for closing, es- pecially during the warm weather. But for one reason or another they have never quite succeeded. As they remain in the offices, the dignified representatives of the firms, during the greater part of the warm weather period it would seem that they could use their own judgment as to how long they should keep the offices open. But they never exercised their judgment in this direction, but kept it applied in the regular business channels, and now their reward has come, and instead of securing re- lease from work one hour earlicr they have whole half day. Theso bright young men 1 doubt feel that somehow virtue is its own re- ward, and a steady attention to business yields not only an ample return in dollars and cents, as the copy books maintain, but in this case a weekly holiday season, which will no doubt be thoroughly appreciated. AUCTION SALES OF PROPERTY. Some valuable property fronting on F street was offered at public auction this week. A large crowd attended and considerable interest was manifested. The property was offered in lots, each having a frontage of sixteen and twenty-two feet. The auctioneer was Mr. Thomas E. Waggaman, the well-known real estate broker, who continues the custom, which sed to be more general than it now is of, sell- ‘at public sale as well as at private Lhe ; man's methods as an auction- eer resembles those employed in book sales in Europe, where there ir no attempt made ‘to ery” the goods, as is the practice here. The article to be sold is simply offered, and the would-be buyers are expected todo the rest. Mr. Waggaman informed the crowd what he had for sale and asked for a bid. and when the bid did not reach the limit he had set he offered the next piece of property. ‘The supposition upon which this style of au tioneering is based is that the people who at- tend the sale know the value of the article of- fered and how much they are willing to give and they do not need the persuasive or exciting “cry” of the auctioneer to stimulate action. THE OFFERS NOT ACCEPTED. However, in this case no bid was accepted. The highest price offered was €17 per squara foot for one piece on F street. As is well known, the property belonged to the estate of the late Mrs. Stone. The residence occupied for #0 many years by Mra. Stone on 14th street just north of F street, together with the vacant ground on ench side, was offered on the same day, but was not sold. THE NEW ASSESSMENT. During the past week the board of assessors completed their work of placing a taxable valuo on the real estate in the District and ceased their official existence. The result of their labors is now in the hands of the clerks in the office of the District assessor, and next Novem- ber, when the collector issnes the tax bills for the half year then expiring, these valuations will be the basis for the tax that the real estate owners of the District will be called upon to yy. Whilo the details of their work is not nown, yet it is understood that the valuations are much below those fixed by the former board. The members of the late board are of the opinion that their assexsment will be gen- erally accepted as fair and equitable. This conclusion is not based on a confidence in the infallible character of their work, but mainly on the expressions of citizens who have inquired as to the asseasment on particular pieces of property and expressed their satisfaction with ‘the valuations fixed by the board. THE BROOKLAND TOWN HALL. ‘The suburban settlement of Brookland is growing so rapidly in population that the neces- sity for a public hall was felt to be imperativ: A number of the residents, who are enterpris- ing and progressive, some time ago organized astock company for the purpose of erecting a suitable building of this character. The hall is now completed and is a structure of brick, three stories high, occupying a site near the railroad station, where this evidence of the public spirit ot the citizens of this tlourishing suburban center can be seen by that section of building will not be exclusively ysed as a pub- lic hall. ‘The lower story has been planned to be used for stores. The hall occupies the sec- ond story, and the third story will be used for lodge rooms, for society meetings, &c. & BAILROAD COMPANY'S BUILDING, ‘The new building for the Atlantic Coast Line offices, situated at the corner of 6th and Penn- sylvania avenue northwest has been completed, and Passenger Agent A. L. Reed has taken pos- session of the new quarters. The building is six stories in height and has a frontage of 3734 feet on Pennsylvania avenue and 88 feet on 6th street. Itis fire proof and fitted with all modern appliances conducive to comfort. The building is heated by steam and provided with electric elevator service. ‘The exterior of the building presents a rather pleasing ‘combina- tion. Itis composed of red sand stone and ellow brick. ‘The two lower stories are of red ‘otomac stone, showing quarry face, while above the general facing is of yellow brick, re- Neve cotta. lower floor.

Ferdinand Lecomte of Switzerland, now at Willard’s, is one of the ablest critics and yo- luminous writers on military affairs in Europe. He is the biographer of the renowned Jomini, with whom he was on the most intimate terms. Until his retirement from active service Col. Lecomte commanded the second army corps of Switzerland and yet continues to edit the well- known Kevue Militair Suisse, founded nearly half a century ago. ‘nited States twice as military expert durin the civil war, serving for atime on the sta of Gen.

He now comes to attend the graduation of his only son, who is well up in the class of "98 at West Point and was ac- corded the honor of entering there by specia set of Congress under President Cloveland's first administration. ae ees Convicted of Embezzlement. In the Criminal Court, Justice McComas, yesterday, Henry Davis, formerly a porter at Saks’, was convicted of the embezzlement of 815, $23.50 and $9.70 from his employers. A notice of motion for new trial was given, Col. Lecomte was in the | G@ COMPANY WON. Result of the Competitive Drill of the High School Cadets. Company G of the High School Cadets won the prize banner last night at the exhibition Grill of the regiment of High School Cadets. The drill, which commenced on Thursday night at the Academy of Music, when the com- panies of the first battalion competed, was con- cluded last night by the drill of the companies of the second battalion. As on the previous night the attendance was very large. Four companies competed, namely: E, F, G and H— all of the second battalion. After several se- lections by the Marine Band, company E, com- manded by Capt. Samuel C. Redman, marched on the stage in double file. It came to “com- front,"‘tnd after presenting arms pro- Seeded with the manual, Both withand without numbers. The company made a favorable im- pression, and the drill was punctuated by rounds of applause. The firing by company was excellent, and it was hard to see how any company could excel the exhibition. When it was over the gallery broke out with ‘and the company yell was given with a e zest. The friends of company H could hardly con- tain themselves, and when, with Capt. C. ©. Clark at its head, it appeared there was a gen- eral outburst all over the house. It wase creditable drill throughout and showed careful training. There were several minor mis- takes, however, and they counted against the company. THE WINNERS. Company G came next. Capt. E. A. Shilling steadied his boys in the wings and they marched on the stage like veterans. They looked like winners from the start, and every movement was applauded. The manual was gone through with a precision that savored of regulars, and the fixing und unfixing of bayonets was well nigh perfect Company F was the last to drill. Capt. D. M. Edwards Commanded and put bls sompany through the manual with great credit. An un- fortunate accident to one of the privates put it practically out of the race, . The judges were Capt. Constantine Chase of the fourth artillery, U. 8. A.; Lieut. B.C. March of the third a ry, U.S.A, and Lieut. Henry W. Whitney, fourth artillery, U. S.A. After the drilling they got together and compared notes. It was the unanimous opinion that G company had scored the most pointe, although the other companies were close up. Principal Lane of the Hign School, with the prize flag, advanced to the footlights and in- troduced Capt. Chase. The latter said the de- cision had only been arrived at after a struggle, as it was a dificult matter to judge which com: pany was most proficient. To G company, however, the judges had awarded the -prize. There was a terrific outburst of applauso at the announcement. Horns wore blown, bells rung and tho company cheer given again and again, A mAXDeouE ‘TROPRY. Capt. Shilling was sent for with his first ser- geant, G. E. Tralles. When they appeared there was more applause, and Capt. Chase,.not waiting for silence, banded the flag to Capt. Shilling, who in turn passed it toSergt. Tralles, and the two marched off. Outside of the house a crowd of G company was waiting, and, lifting their captain to their shoulders, paraded tho streets. The flag won was first won in 1888 by company A. Tho next year company D eaj tured the treasure, but bad to give it i] ny 1890 to company C.' ‘The prize was captured in 1891 by company F, and the following year company A again won it. The flag is made of heavy white silk, with the words “Prize Com- pany” in gold on one side and “H. 8. C.” on the other. Attached to it are streamers on which the winning companies are inted. The fing will remain in the possession of company G for one year, when it will be competed for agai THE COMPANY. The following is the roster of the winning company: Captain E. A.

Adjournment of the Diccesan Convention at Baltimore — Matters of Local Interest Considered—The Ridout Dispute Settled— ‘Washington Fails to Secure the Next Meeting. eee Inan address before the Maryland diocesan convention yesterday at Baltimore Bishop Paret said that the affairs relating to the proposed cathedral in Washington were prospering, and that there is every reason for encouragement. “Temporary incompleteness in some business details,” he said, ‘‘and the slow carefulness so absolutely necessary at the beginning of large undertakings have forbidden any definite state- ments. 1 can only say that so soon as it can be wisely done full information will be given, and meantime? can give theassurance that those who are more immediately active are very hopeful of full success.” THE ST. MARGARET'S CHURCH TROUBLE. Considerable time was taken up in the dis- cussion of the St. Margaret's Church trouble. Mr. Wm. A. Meloy, who had the floor when convention adjourned on Thursday night, resumed speaking shortly after the body as- sembled yesterday morning. He made an argument against the position taken by the Ridout faction, and. submitted « conciliatory amendment to the resolution offered Thursday night by Mr. Wm. D. Baldwin, which provided for the seating of Mr. H. 8. Ridout as lay dele- gate from St. Margaret's. Mr. J. H. Logie offered a substitute for the whole, which provided that convention take no action, but leave the whole matter in the hands of Bishop Paret. This was tabled and Mr. Baldwin's resolution as amended was adopted. is was done after an assurance from Bishop Paret that this action would be Mapes and Mr. adjusted. Mr. Ridout was not prosent at the closing session of the convention. Rey. Arthur Chilton Powell of the committee appointed to confer with a committee from the diocese of Easton with reference to the rights of rectors and vestries reported that they thought no change was necessary in the vestry act and that no canonical action on the matter is desirable. The canon law of the church,” Mr. Powell said, “expressly indicates that no one shall be counted a ‘settled minister’ unless he be called either permanently, according to the rules of the diocese, or for a period of not less than one year. It is therefore necessary that all calls toa Pastoral relation should be made in such defi- nite form as to exclude the possibility of mis- understanding. “Under these conditions it is within the rights of a parish or vestry to call a minister who shall be entitled to the privileges of a ‘settled minis- ter,’ and to limit the relation if both parties shall so consent when the call is made to the term of one year;and there might be excep- tional cases where something like this might be desirable; but neither people nor clergy would be willing todo dishonor to the sacred office which would result from making such 8 call the eneral usage of the diocese. It would abso- lutely exclude all idea or p lity of perma- nent work or permanent home from the clergy. man’s life, In every other state and diocese the church luw prevails and clergymen of use- ful character, of good standing, would be slow to relinquish their posts in other dioceses and come to this, the security given would be so much less,”” To avoid this condition of affairs, and also to avoid a conflict of the civil law, he suggested a form for calling rectors, in which it is pro- vided that the reetorship shall continue until dissolved by mutual consent or by the arbitra tion and decision of the ecclesiastical authority of the diocese. This was adopted, Rev. Dr. Randolph H. McKim, chairman of the committee appointed to consider the pro- Visions of tho vestry act of 1798, made a report recommending that a committee of two clergy- men and three laymen be appointed to compile and explain the law question, This was done. At Dr. McKim's suggestion a resolution was adopted providing that no one shall be elected a member of a vestry who is not s momber of the Protestant Episcopal Church, eitber by baptism, confirmation or admission to the holy communion, LOCAL MATTERS, ‘The parish of St. Stephen's, Mount Pleasant, was udmitted into union with the convention. The petition for the creation of a new parish from « portion of St. Paul’s and St Jobn’s parishes of this city, to be known as the parish of St. Michael's and All Angels,wasgranted. Consent was given to the formation ef a new parish, to be known as All Saints’ parish, from the southern portion of King and Queen parish of St. Mary's county. The boundaries of Silver Spring and Rock Creek parishes, in the District of Columbia, were changed by attaching to the southern portion of Silver Spring parish the northern portion of Rock Creek parish, 80 an to make Silver Spring embrace Takoma Park and ité vieinity. The convention did not stop work for luncheon, but pushod ahead, so as to finish up its business and reach an adjourninent before night. In this it suceeded and decided to meet again next year in Emmanuel Church. WASHINGTON PROPOSED. An effort was made to have the convention come to Washington for its 1894 session, but the majority of those present when the mat- ter was considered preferred to meet in Balti- more, Just before the convention closed ’ Bish Paret made short address, in which he criti- cised the slender attendance in the closing hours of the session and referred to the im- Portaut work that had been done. particu- larly that in relation to the canous of the diocese. “This,” he said, “has often led people of other religious beliefs to remark that the c work of our convention seems to be tinkering with our laws, And Iam glad this isso. Iam glad that we have nothing more serious to en- guage our time. I thank God for the pence of the church; that wo have no one to accuse of horeay or to place before us au the exponent of dangerous doctrines, threatening the peace or the life of tne church. We are harmonious. Representatives of all schools of thought in our church work together in our conventions. I am glad we do not have to call into our coun- cils some quasi-political authority from over the water to settie differences that we cannot settle oursolves.”* WARFIELD COLLROE. At the suggestion of Dr. J. B. Purcell, chair- man of the committee appointed to take into consideration that part of Bishop Paret’s dress with reference to Warfield, trustees were elected to act in conjunction with the bishop in organizing the college ‘The college was provided for by a bequest of the late Miss Susanna Warfield of Carroll county. An effort had beon made to have the corporation of the Collego of St. James unite with the trustees of the Warfield bequest and to establish the “Warfield College of St. James” at Sykesville selling the prosent St, James Col- lege property and accepting the property left by Miss "Wareld and recting new Wall ings. This proposition the St. James College trustees would not accept. The trustees elected were Rev. Arthur Chilton Powell, Rev. Wm. 4. Coale, Bev, RH. Paine, jesers. Joveph Packard, jr., H.

IT WILL AID IN PREVENTING WRECES.AND Losses ATSEA—ITS USE EXPLAINED BEFORE THE XA- TIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY BY LIEUT. BEEE- LER—OTHER INTERESTING PAPERS READ. The eighty-third regular meeting of the Na- tional Geographic Society was held last even- ing in the assembly room of the Cosmos Club. It was the last meeting of the season, and called forth an attendance that comfortably filled the lecture room and that listened with interest to the various papers read. There were three of these, the first being by Lieut. W. H. Beebler, U. 8. N., on the subject of the solarometer, a new nautical astronomical in- strument for determining the position of s ship at sea, The solarometer is an instrament which will accomplish this result by observations of heavenly bodies day und night, whenever visi- |) ble in the sky, and without any elaborate cal- culations. The problems of nautical astronomy are solved mechanically, and by comparing the re- sults of any observation with corresponding computed values of declination. Intitude. hour angle and azimuth, in the enlarged book of azimuth tables to be published, the observer has positive proof of the absolute accuracy of his observation. Clouds will of course render heavenly bodies invisible to the solarometer as well as to the sextant, but it is raro that even for twenty-four hours thata star is not visible for a few mo- ments, and whenever the sun, moon or any bright stur may be visidle for even a short time observations may be made with the solarometer; whereas with a sextant it is necessary to have the sun visible twice, once for latitade near the meridian and once or twice for time when east or west of observer. t During foggy weather it Trequently happens that the sun is quite plainly visible i tie sky while the horizon is obscured and the sextant of no use. Tho solarometer will, however, be specially valuable in just such emergency, and in the vicinity of the coast it will obviate much loss of life and property now wrecked, because | of bad navigation. ANNUAL LOSSES BY WRECKS. The United States hydrographic office re- cently published a wreck chart, on which it is stated that there is an annual loss of 2.172 ves- sels with 12,000 lives, and a money value of €100,000,000.' From a careful estiznate of the causes of this loss it is safe to ascribe at least 10 per cent to bad navigation, whieh an instra- ment like the solarometer in general use would have obviated. Ten per cent of the total loss asstated to be over 200 vessels, 1,000 10,000,000 of property. The value of the instrument, howevor, is not confined to the determination of a vessel's exact position and compass error at all hours of the day or night, whenever anything ain be seon in the sky, but this accurate result inci- dentally enables vessels to steer in exact great circle routes and keep the adopted frans- ocesnic routes with the certainty of a railroad train. Time, coal and money will be saved by enabling steamers to keep on the most direct and shortest routes to their ports. Vessels traveling back and forth over the same routes for long periods will necessarily be able to ascertain valuable information in regard to the strength and direction of the ocean cur- rents. Shoals, wrecks and other dangers in the navigation can be more definitely and accu- rately located, and many dangers, such as der- ehits, &c., can be so accurately located that there would be no difficulty in finding and se- curing them promptly. The location of dangers, &c., is at once an evidence of the value of the solarometer for marine surveying or surveying on shore, since observations can be taken at any time anything is visible in the sky, and sinco the observer is positively certain every time he gets an obser- jon of the correctness of hie results, it is jent that thesolarometer will beof the great-, est value in surveying. GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES OF TEXAS. Mr. Robert T. Hill read a carefully prepared) Paper on the geographic features of Texas. He began by speaking of the immense area of the state giving as aspecimen statement that the distance across the state was as great as from hore to Chicago. It is at the same time a humid and an arid state, mountainous and level, forest and prairie, in'fact, all kinds of a , but a northern state. Mr. Hill spake of e various sociological conditions existing in the differen: parts of the state owing to Ms im- mense size and varied nature. All the warions characteristics of the various portions ef the country are to be noticed as extending into ‘Texas, but notwithstanding this the state basa clmracter of its own that accounts for its pro- vineiality. Even if it were not for the Indian territory the Washeta mountain range would effectually separate ‘Texas from Kansas and an immense arid region divides it from Arizona, 80 t the siateof Texas retains its own per- sonality, This it is likely to keep when one ro- members that a Texan can rice fortwo days in a train and still be within the confines of his own state, As a result of this he is likely not to get too neighborly with the citizens of other states. Mr. Hill went on to tell of the immense resources of the state of Texas dependent upon the varying character of the soils, cotton, wheat and grazing lands. He described the chap- paral, the part of the country that is all grown up with mesquite amd every conceivable form of thorn-bearing growth. This country he called the natural home and hiding place of revolutions, for it is here that all the renegades and outlaws from both sides of the Rio Grande take refuge, and it is here that most of the rev. olutions that seck to overthrow the Mexican government are fomented. It is a wonderfully good country for raising cattle, however, which, though poor in flesh and rich in horn. are noted for their fecundity and rapid growth. These jonghorns are driven north and mixed with herds of better breed. The ranches that,dot the country are many of them of immerfee size, some of them covering as much as nine bund: square miles. are jealously guarded by ‘med men and many of tho ranch houses are like fortified castles, even going to tho extent of being guarded by cannon, though these are rather rare and are the survival of an older and ruder day, THE YELLOWSTONE PARK. An interesting paper was presented by Mr. Henry Gannett and Mr. Walter Harvey Weed on the subject of the Yellowstone National Park. Tho paper treated of the park in the early days before the advent of the railroad and the personally conducted party and when settlements were @ hundred miles apart. ‘The park and all its wonders were missed by the early settlers. Lewis and Clarke passed to the north of it and otbers went all around it, but not into it. The reason for this was sample. The country isa high-weeded region with a forbidding climate, for it is always either winter or late in the fail there. In the early days when there was little known ofthe park there were many romantic yarns told about it, for the most part tinged with the superpatural, Yet it is known that more than one white man saw the park long before any record of it exists. ‘The early trappers, notably old Jim Bridger, told many marvelous tales about the country, and an 1869 two trapj went entirely through the park. As a result of the stories they toid of their experiences an ex- pedition was made up the following year and the results of their discoveries attracted a great deal of attention. In 1872, as a result of a sub- sequent expedition, Congress made provision for the establishment of a national reservation in this wonderful country. Mr. Gannett made trip to the park in 1873 and again six years later, when he was in charge of a party that was eny in making o map of the park.

Rebecca Tait,a middle-aged woman, whose name appears on many pages of the Police Court dockets, was in Judge Kimball's court today ona charge of vagrancy after an absence from the city for several months. She was under the influence of liquor when Policeman Flathers found her on Maryland avenue last night. “What were you doing on Maryland avenue last night?” the judge asked her. “Iwas looking for aman to move my furni- tare,” was her response. “I had just come from down the river, and my furniture was at the wharf.” “Have you seon her few weeks?” ssked the “No, sir. “The before during the past court, said the judge to the prisoner, “you can have'fiftecn days this timer and the woxt time you come here the sentence will bo in- creased,” ——__ Funeral of John Rover. ‘The funeral services over the remains of the late John Rover were held yesterday morning at St Aloysius Church.
