We're making a new AFFAIRS Elaborate Improvements in Prospect on the College Campus. The Low Price of Wheat Causes Con- sternation—Snow as a Friend of Farmers. The campus at Georgetown College is to be extensively improved. For a long time its enlargement has been contemplated, and now the project is taking definite shape. A part of the money necessary for the press- ing of the work has already been collected and the changes to be made definitely set- tled upon. The old-fashioned dwelling to the rear of the present field will come down and the elevation it occupied leveled back to the line of the south wall of the George- town Convent. The dirt taken therefrom will be filled in th» declivities on the west of the present field, and the campus widen- ed, as well as lengthened. It is the inten- tion of the movers in the project to also erect grand stands and otherwise thorough- ly equip the field. When all the plans in contemplation, are carried out the George- town campus, it is said, will rival in excel- lence that of any college in the country. The proposed erection of a magnificent $60,000 athletic structure at the college is still being considered, and work toward the consummation of the project silently done. Ten thousand dollars toward the necessary fund, it is said, are at any time at the com- mane of the college. This amount rept sents voluntary contributions from old boys. But very few have been, as yet, acquainted with this proposed improvement. The new gymnasium will be equipped with every conceivable athletic appliance and be a “startler” to those who do not keep pace with the rapid strides of this branch of cul- ture. Georgetown has determined to be out- done in no branch of learning, even by the colleges of the oldest standing. Wheat Stn Falling. Those interested here in the sale of wheat say that for weeks it has been a drug at prices unprecedented. The larger dealers report that it has sunk below all low marks and refused, to respond to the in- fluence of boomers. It is even said that the grain has gone begging at a price known to be under the actual cost of pro- duction. Some say that they believe the good old days when $1 a bushel was the usual price received will never come again and that 75 cents may be looked to as the top notch figure. With wheat selling at less than the cost of production, as some claim it is, farmers will not be long in turning their fields to other uses. One raiser of Montgomery county is said to have fed 600 bushels of the grain this season to his cattle, deeming that more profitable than selling it at the low prevail- ing figure. Saturday’s wheat brought 62 cents. Advantages of Snow. The country people say that the snow acts on their grass and grain fields like a coat of fertilizer, and assists materially in the pulverization of their plowed ground. And the canal men say that the snow in the mountains on the upper course of the Potomac, through its sinking into the ground, and slow but final outlet into the streams, wards off low waters in the Po- tomac during the hot spells of the early summer, much of it not succumbing to the sun until the hottest season of the year arrives. It’s an 11 wind that blows no one any good. Short Paragraphs. John Leetch has sold to Wiliam A. Leetch lots 198 and 194, in Leetch’s sub of square 112, being the block bounded by Q and U, 30th and 3ist streets. ‘The remains of the Rev. Jacob Ross (Brother Ross) were yesterday buried at Mt. Zion graveyard. The attendance was large. Several societies which the Rev. Mr. Ross had been either directly or in- directly connected with showed their re- spect for the dead by following the remains through the disagreeable weather to the graveyard. ‘The character of Clara Manners in the “Pair of Lunatics,” as presented by the Linthicum Students, which was formerly impersonated by Miss Hammack, now of Hackett’s “Private Secretary” Company, will be acted on Wednesday evening at the National Hotel for the benefjt of the East- ern Dispensary by Mrs.Cudworth of Mil- waukee, Wis., now stopping temporarily in the city. Mr. T. O. Pulizzi will do his old part of George Fielding. Dr. J. Gregg Gibson of Shepherdstown, on the canal, a physician of extensive acquaintance, died on Saturday night after a few hours’ illness. Dr. Gibson was a gentleman of splendid attainments, cul- tured and refined. He had reached his seventy-first year. Deputy E. P. Watkins of the George- town custom house has made formal ap- plication for the position of collector of the port of Georgetown. The Star was told this morning that the receipts at the custom house last week were too small to mention in print. This afternoon the Commissioners will give a hearing to those Virginians who have been seeking a right of way for a railroad over the Aqueduct bridge. Judging from the informal talks that are being indulged in it looks as if the George- town Gas Light Company will, at some early duy, be made the defendant in a strong plea to the proper authorities for a reduction in the price now being received by that corporation for g«s.

It has given four successful representations of “Mustapha,” an operetta written by Mr. Alfred Baldwin Sloan, a member of the club. After the first produc- tion the talking part of the play was cut down considerably, and more dancing inter- jected, to the great satisfaction of the critics, who otherwise fotnd the whole thing perfect. The costumes are gorgeous, the Chinese songs and dances clever and amusing and the whole action. is replete with life and movement. Unable to get Seats in the orchestra, Mrs. Bissell, like a number of other ladies who desired to take ; large parties, have done the next best thing {and bought them in the circle and baleony, so that people of official and social promi- nence will be found all over the house.

Burnett the first gentleman’s prize, and Miss Weber and G. T. Chase the “booby” prizes. The fad party of Friday night was given by Miss Gunion instead of Miss Gunnison, as published. The prize for spelling was awarded the latter. On Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wagner entertained the members of the Calumet Bowling Club with a musicale.

According to reports made at the offices of the central relief committee and the po- lice stations, no decrease is shown in the numbers of persons who are dependent upon public charity to keep body and soul together, The applicants are even more numerous than ever, although the supply is getting short. At the headquarters of the central relief committee this morning there was a limited supply of both clothing and food. It was stated that the wagons of Messrs. Woodward and Lothrop would go out during the afternoon and tomorrow morning and gather up donations. as the canvassers in some of the districts, it was stated, had not finished their work. The flour received by the committee is put. up in tweive-pound sacks now, and given out in this way, so that the distribution will go to make many families happy, instead of a few, which would be the result of giving out the un! received. Sat- urday the crowd of applicants was mucn larger than usual, and at times it was al- most impossible to reach the door leading to the headquarters of the committee. It was thought that this room would be clos- ed before now, but the numerous applicants and the generosity of the citizens will not Permit the committee to close its business there. The police and the Associated Chari- ties are still engaged in the work of dis- tributing most of the donations, most of the applicants going to the police station. This is, perhaps, for the reason that the stations are scattered about all sections of the city, and also for the reason that most of the applicants are known to the police, and as- sistance is given without delay in worthy cases. Yesterday morning the police received many applications for assistance, the re- sult of the continued cold spell, and this morning the applicants were more numer- ous than ever. Many of those who depend on the dumps for fuel were in need of wood and coal because the ash heaps were cov- ered with snow, and some of them elso wanted food. Shoes were also in great de- mand, as they are during every spell of wet weather. Owing to the amount of funds given to the police some economy has been practiced, and while the police could expend about $1,500 weekly to goog advantage they have had to content them- selves with much less, expending from $700 to $1,000 each week. A Mixed Blessing. While the heavy fall of snow last even- ing caused much alarm among the poorer classes it afforded work to many men, for even last night before the snow ceased falling scores of men were at work on the railroad tracks and sidewalks earning some- thing for their families, while many more were able to obtain similar work this morn- ing. Yesterday morning there was a free breakfast given the poor by the Central Union Mission, and 317 persons responded. “And they enjoyed the hot meal,” said the cook this morning, “for all the plates came back empty.” Many of the guests were strangers in the city and they were all invited to services as soon as they fin- ished breakfast. Mr. Muncaster had charge of the meeting in the chapel and four of the men led, in prayer, one of them praying that they would continue to fare as well as they had during their stay at the mission. Nearly two hundred of the men attended services at Wesley Chapel in a body. Other Stopping Places. While men are sawing wood at the mis- sion for their meals and lodgings the municipal lodging house is not slighted. Three nights is the time allowed Suests at each of these institutions, and very few of the guests leave until tiey es The Order Holds a Business Meeting and a Banquet.

There has been a great amount of sick- ness among the ad this winter, and in addition to the hundreds of visits nade by the physicians to the poor. most of the poor wards in the hospitals have been kept nearly filled. During the past few days Sanitary Officer Frank has sent to the different hospitals an average of about eight persons each day. Donations of all kinds are still wanted by the relief committee, and they may be sent to the headquarters of the committee in the Central Union Mission building, or to the police or Associated Charities. pan saeco RENTED BUILDINGS.
