Millan, as chairman on contemplated entertainment, made a verbal report to the effect that in a conference of the members of the Y. P. 8. C. E. of the chureh, at its last meeting, It was proposed to have such a meeting as was given four years ago, the object being to introduce and make to feel at home the large number of young men who have in the past few months connected themselves with the church, and in this way to further increase the membership of the two societies in their church work. The report, as made, was unanimously agreed to and the 9th of No- vember was the time fixed upon. Mr. R. E. Smith, the president, was renominated for ‘that office, but stated that owing to other and pressing duties, he could not again serve. ‘The following were then elected to serve as officers for the ensuing term of six months: Mr. W. W. Millan, president; J. E. Supplee, Yice president; Willis Robinson, recording secretary, and Mr. C. E. Dietrich, corres- ponding secretary. The election of treas- urer went over until another meeting. The Merary program of the meeting was dis- Pensed with.

In his earlier days he learn- €d the trade of bookbinding, and for a number of years conducted business in Bal- timore. He returned to this city, and was employed in the government printing of- fice.

The Wheat Crop. 2 ‘The winter crop of wheat in the surround- ing fields of Maryland and Virginia will be enormously large if what has just been planted turns out prosperously, said Mr. John Eggleston, one of the largest farmers in Fairfax, yesterday to a reporter. The last season that closed produced, In many in- stances, forty bushels to the acre. a splendid yield. Encouraged by this we tillers of the soll have gone to work in earnestness and filled every available spot in Marvland and Virginia with seed wheat. Fertilizers are being extensively used this year to better insure the safety of the crop. Maryland wheat, according to the George- town millers, is superior to any grown for the making of nutritious flour. Mr. Exeles- ton said there was no truth whatever in the report that the wheat-growing counties had a reduced acreage this year. The acreage Is larger than ever, at least in Fairfax and ad- joining counties. Mr. Rowsee’s Denth. Mr. Reuben Rowzee, sr.. is dead, having passed away suddenly last evening at 7:15 o'clock. He was the oldest hotel man in the west end. The Monticello House, with which he was so long identified, was estab- lished by him. On the sale of the Monticello some months ago he reopened another hotel to the east of the M street market. Mr. Rowzee will be buried at Darnestown, Mary- land. A Transformation. Contractor Thomas D. Bond, under the direction of Mr. H. R. Waggaman, is turn- ing a thirty-acre tract of once dismal, un- sightly woods into one of the most beautiful parks imaginable. The change is taking place in the rear of Gardiner G. Hubbard's house on the Woodley road. Romantic lanes, with gutters of white cobble-stones, have been laid out, trees-so trimmed that every foot is shaded uniformly and a beautl- ing stream, w! falls made eut of @ once halt-filied branch. Incandescent lights and water will be intro- duced in a few months; the water to be ob- tained through the proposed Fort Reno res- ervoir, the site for which was recently pre- sented to the District by Messrs. Waggaman and Glover. ‘Water Supply. Georgtown’s water is at present so muddy that its taste has become affected. To drink it without filtering or allowing it to settle means almost nauseation. The people along the middle section of the town, that is, those living between N and P streets, are complaining, in addition “to the mud, about the small quantity of water they are receiving: ‘The new high-service pressure is not giv- ing this part of the town satisfaction. St. John’s new water-power organ cannot be worked on account of the scarcity of the supply, and household pipes bring forth but a sluggish stream. Short Paragraphs.

Michael Meany was acquitted of the charge of larceny from the person, PUSH CART VENDERS. Eight of Them Fined in the Police Court Today. Eight stalwart young men, only one of whom was able to speak English, stood in @ row in Judge Miller's court this morning. ‘They are engaged in the sale of bananas, Peanuts, cheap candy and other articles, and most of them do business in the vi- cinity of Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street. Last night there were nearly two’ dozen of these push cart merchants about the vicinity mentioned, when the officers of the first made a wholesale raid. Those who were in court this morning weré the unfor- tunate ones, not having been able to escape as did many of their fellow countrymen. The charge against the defendants was obstructing the street. rf District stated that complaints had “been made against these men, one complaint coming from the street sweepers, who were unable to sweep the street without trouble. Judge Miller said that the Dis- trict licensed these men and derived con- siderable revenue from them. It was nat- ural, the judge said, that they should go to the business center to sell their goods. It cannot be expected that they will go out on the commons where their bananas will rot and spoil, and at the same time they must not obstruct the streets. “Ladies in vehicles will stop in front of a store and leave their vehicle while they go into forty stores looking for a bonnet,” said the judge. “The leaving of a carriage in this way is perhaps as much of an obstruction as that of the push cart men, but it is a different kind of an obstruction. Judge Miller said he thought these deal- ers should be regulated as they are in other cities. The defendants were fined $1 each and the judge told them the next time they would have to pay a larger fine. } es Witnessés. for the |’ “ALEXANDRIA. | ‘The Prospects of Next Week. Next week promises to be quite an inter- esting one for Alexandria. On Tuesdoy evening the city council will meet, and it is probable will act upon the bill creating a city engineer. This will be the beginning of a comprehensive system of local improve- ments in Alexandria. The proposal is that the clty shall be improved first on the ‘map; that {s, that the street lines, grades and character of pavements for each street within the city limits shall be determined and mapped out, so that any building here- after erected shall have its lines and the direction of its water flow fully settled. The question of expense will be an after consideration. There are many citizens who think that until the work which the city engineer shall do is determined {t will be useless to appoint that officer, as they say it ts not worth while to pay an officer $2,000 @ year to spend $3,900 in improvements. The council will also probably increase the salary of policemen to $9 per month. The corporation court will begin the trial of the Meade murder case, and the democrats will probably get out of the fog which now en- yelops their action in regard to a candi- date to the legislature. This will crowd Alexandria for one week. Corporation Court. The corporation court is still in session. ‘The suit of the Deis Manufacturing Com- Pany vs. the Mt. Vernon Insurance Com- pany has been argued to Judge Norton on demurrer. The question at issue in the case is whether the fire insurance on the Deis butlding had been completed when the fire occurred there last winter. On the probate side the will of C. W.
