An election for five town commissioners, to serve for a term of two years, will take place in Bladensburg on Monday, the 7th proximo, the polls to be kept open from 8a.m.to6p.m. The present board of com- missioners, consisting of Messrs. Francis Gasch, N. R. Sommrs, Geo. W. Colden- stroth, E. P. Godman and John Lepper, will, in all probability, be re-elected, although an opposition ticket will be placed in the field. The following judges of election have been appointed: Edward Suit, Frank H. Gasch, J. B. Wiseman. The erection of a number of new street lamps in Bladensburg has much improved the appearance of the town. Miss Lillian B. Headley, formerly of Bladensburg. was married a few days ago in Brooklyn, N.

The report cf the treasurer was read and showed the school to be in a flourishing condition. The report that Mr. George N. Walker has declined to run as candidate for commissioner of Hyattsville on the work- ingman's ticket is without foundation. Mr. Walker did not seek the nomination, but he has no intention of withdrawing his name from the contest.

J., was found in a prostrated condition back of Bruner’s mill in this city Wednesday morning, with a gaping wound in one of his wrists, from which the blood had flowed freely. The wound had been self-inflicted, with suicidal intent, the result of despondency. Mat- thews said he had gone from Somerville to Philadelphia to buy some cattle, and had there been fleeced out of $150 by bunco men, who afterward drugged him and placed him on a Washington train. He found himself in that city Monday, and came on to Fred- erick. Matthews was sent to the Montevue Hospital for treatment, and was later in the day arrested and heid on receipt of an order from his friends at Somerville. James Bunyan Thompson, who died in Washington a few days ago of consump- tion, was a native of Frederick, where he leaves a wife and several children. He was about forty years old, and was engaged in business here a number of years before re- moving to Washington. One of the effects of the march of the Coxey army of the commonweal that was greatly feared in this section has come to pass in the gravitation toward this point of an unusually large number of tramps. So far, however, they have given no trouble, and the authorities are determined to put them to work on the county stone pile or send them to the house of correction if they Unger hereabouts very long. Mrs. Maria Clinjan died in Washington on Thursday morning, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. O. S. Firmin. She was a member of the Shearer family, well known in this state and in Pennsylvania, and the widow of John Clinjan of this city. She leaves three children. Capt. B. F. Brown and family, who have been spending the winter in Washington, have returned to Frederick. —_——— KENSINGTON.

The funeral of Mrs. Mary Emma Mine- burg, wife of William Mineburg, and daugh- ter of Mrs. Augusta Turner, a lifelong resi- dent of this section of Montgomery county, tcok place yesterday. The remains were conveyed from the residence of Mrs. Tur- ner to the Methodist Church at the “Four Corners,” where the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Robey, Mr. Mine- burg died last Wednesday, at the early age of twenty-two years, of consumption, and left two children, one two years and the | other five months old. After services at the church, the body was taken to Spencerville and interred in the cemetery at that place. Miss Lily Cox of Westmoreland county, Va., is the guest of Miss Lily Condict. ‘The gentlemen of Linden gave a dance Thursday evening at Irving Hall, which was well attended, the guests coming from Washington, Forest Glen, Sandy Spring, Takoma, Rockville, Kensington and Wood side.

There was a scene of gaiety at Forest Inn last night, the occasion being a delight- ful hop, for which the scholars of Miss Conway's class were responsible. Samuel Jacobson, Walter C. Gosling and Charles Danforth comprised the reception and floor committee. The dancing was done in the large hall of the inn, which was weil filled until the departure of the Washing‘on visit- ors, on the 10:30 train. The remaining guests from the surrounding villages re- mained until the program was finished, leaving for their homes shortly after 12 o'clock.

O. O. F., turned out in full force last night at a musical and literary entertain- ment held in Brightwood Hall. The lodge has been struggling ever since last winter, having lost everything in that disastrous fire which occurred on the 29th of Decem- ber, 1893. It is believed that the entertain- jood sum, and help replen- ish the lodge with necessary paraphernalia. The Takoma Orchestra is finely drilled, and rendered yery sweet music, which call- ed for numerous encores. e Takoma Dramatic Club gave two comediettas ex- cellently, and the miscellaneous numbers were all finely performed. At the opening of the exercises Mr. A. L. Keene made an address explaining the purposes of the en- tertainment, after giving a short sketch of the aims of the order. — LAUREL, Mr. L. A. Ellis, a contractor and archi- tect, met with a very painful and serious accident yesterday. While standing by one of the machines in his mill, a piece of board flew off and passed through his forearm, splintering one of the bones. Dr. Huntt rendered surgical attendance, but it will be many days before he can recover the use of his arm. The Coxey movement is exciting some people in this vicinity, but, as a general thing, very little interest is taken in it, the enly fear being the result of the disbanding of the army and the scattering of its mem- bers through the country. Up to the pres- ent time there seems to be no increase in “tourists” over our pike or along the rail- road. One of the most interesting events which in some time was the mar- riage of Rev. L. A. Thirlkeld, pastor of Cen- tenary M, E. Church, well known in Wash- ington, and Miss Hattie E. Jeffries, which was solemnized in the church here this week. Promptly at 9:30 a.m. the bridal party entered the church,which was crowd- ed to the doors, and were met by the ush- ers, who preceded them to the altar. Miss Nettie Lanahan played the wedding march in fine style, and Rev. Dr. Lanahan per- formed the ceremony, with the full ritual, including the giving of a ring. The church was handsomely decorated with flowers and potted plants, while an evergreen arch. ex- tended the full length of the chancel rail, having suspended from the center a large bell composed of evergreens and flowers. The bride was becomingly attired in‘ trav- eling suit of light material, with hat and gloves to match. The happy couple left on the Blue line for Atlantic City. Messrs. Owen Disney, T. M. Baldwin, jr., Wm.Penn and Luther Brashears, jr., acted as ushers. In addition to the officiating minister, the following named clergymen were present: H. Carroll, 8. M. Dr. A. 8. Weber of Baltimore. Among the guests from a distance were the sisters of the groom, the Misses Thirlkeld of Balti- more, Misses Nannie and Mossie Boyle of Hyattsville and many others. ——__—— Gen. Palmer Has Not Decided to Edit. Friends of Public Printer Palmer say to- day that the announcement of his intention to take charge of a newspaper at Syracuse, N. Y., is, to say the least of it, premature. ‘The newspaper itself is not in existence, nor has there been anything approaching to organization of the company which it is alleged will be behind the publication. It is true that Mr. Palmer has been asked to consider what he would do under certain circumstances, but up to this time the con- ditions are quite vague, and a jong way short of anything like materialization. The Monterey has arrived at Santa Bar- bara, the Detroit at Norfolk and the Colum- bia at League Island. The Alert has sailed from Mare Island for Port Townsend. —_—_—. National University Alumni. On Wednesday evening the Alumni As- sociation of the National University will hold its first annual banquet at Freund's banquet hall. Mr. L. Cabell Williamson will preside as toastmaster and will call upon the following gentlemen: Chief Jus- tice Alvey of the Court of Appeals of the District, Chief Justice Bingham of the &u- preme Court of the District, ex-Gov. Hoyt of Wy » Charles E. Lyman, civtl ser- foner; Charles P. Lincoln, Judge Goode of Virginia, Charles M. Bu- chanan, M. D., and Robert P. Hains, LL.B. IN LOCAL STUDIOS Fischer and Veerhoff galleries have been filled with collections and private exhibi- tions by prominent members of the artistic fraternity, all of which have been more or jess successful. The series of spring exhibi- tons will close next week with an elaborate and most interesting collection of work in black and white and water colors by Mr. Rufus Zogbaum at the Fischer gallery. The exhibition by Mr, R. Le Grand John- ston, which closed at the Fischer gallery this afternoon, wes at first glance rather disappointing, owing to the lack of variety ‘in his subject matter. A careful exami- nation, still life. “Goose Was another most } aren if canvas, containing in the two cen ” was a brilliantty colored and care- fully studied composition. ““ Storm,” ‘Under Shelter,” “The Sheep and t § i H i i 1 z E 2 Mr. J. H. Moser has been in the city during the past week, much to the delight of that artist's many friends and admirers. Mr. Moser will for the first time in sev- eral years omit the annual exhibition, which has always attracted so much a tention from the Washington public. He has, however, brought several portfolios of sketches and studies, in order to show his brother artists that in this instance absence did not mean idleness. A view of this work is as creditable to the artist as it is a pleasure to the visitor. Nature in all her moods appeals to him, and he has thoroughly caught the spirit of those artists of the Barbizon woods who saw land and water, trees and sky in an at- mospheric, romantic fashion, peculiarly their own. This is particularly conspicu- ous in his studies of mountain scenery, much of which is suggestive of Rousseau in its rich coloring and imaginative effect. Some of his most interesting work shows the different aspects of nature during and after rain storms, when earth and atmos- phere are laden with moisture. A striking feature of Mr. Moser’s work is the lack of “sameness” in either subject mafter or handling of pigments, an examination of the sketches being almost like seeing the work of a number of painters or of a water color club, instead of that by one man. In speaking of the different mannerisms which are generally affected by artists, Mr. Moser said: “Nature influences me more than I influence nature. When an artist gets so that his work is recognized by his manner it may be commercially val- uable, but as artistic productions they sre valueless.” For several days more the artist will be at home to his friends at 611 13th street from 2 tos each afternoon. ‘The members of the Art Students’ League held their annual meeting for the election of officers last Tuesday evening, at which time Mr. E. Francis Riggs was appointed as its president for the ensuing year, and Mr, E. C, Messer, first vice president; Mr. Parker Mann, second vice president; Miss Matilda Mueden, treasurer; Mrs. assistant treasurer; Mr. W. B. Chilton, re- cording secretary, and Miss Newcomb, corresponding secretary. During the past year the school has regis- tered more students than during any ceding one, and the work ed speaks eloquently of the ability of the in- structors and managers, as well as the con- scientious study of the pupils. An incentive nished by the Art Students’ of New York city, which has recently offered to its sister institution a scholarship of one year in the New York league. The first scholar- ship has been awarded to Miss Bertha Perrie, who, it will be remembered, was the fortunate recipient of the first prize for excellent work exhibited during the first exhibit of the society of Washington ar- tists, and during the recent exhibition at the “Cosmos” there were no more clever = ——. a bee in Big! collection than her exquisite studies landscapes, rendered with a delicacy of perception and execution peculiarly her own. An attractive feature of the league work is the “outdoor sketch class,” which has been steadily going on during the past two months. A 1 feature of this class is the introduction of figures in order to ob- tain relative values, in figure and land- scape work. “2. @ & Prof. T. 8. Noble, director of the “School of Art” in Cincinnati, passed through the city last Wednesday, on his way to New York, where he will take passage for Eu- rope early next week. Though hurried, he stopped long enough to pay a visit to the Corcoran Art School and to his friend, Prof. Andrews, whose management of the Cor- coran School closely resembles that of the school in Cincinnati. Prof. Noble is enthu- siastically eloquent over the contest which is now going on among his students for the European scholarship, which embraces a three years’ course of instruction, with maintenance, in any city, and under any master of art which the fortu- nate recipient of the prise may select. As soon as the contest has been formaily en- tered upen all instruction and criticism from teachers is withdrawn, and the stu- dents supe to rely entirely upon their own knowledge. Rae eran Miss Jane Bridgeham Curtis, whose de- lightful work in pastel attracted so much attention during the recent exhibit of the Society of Washington Artists, has been in the city but a short time, having very re- cently returned from abroad, where she has studied for a number of years under Julius Rolshoven. Miss Curtis, though young in both years and profession, has exhibited works in pastel and oil which place her among the mcst prominent of our women artists. Her specialty is portraiture and figures, both of which she handles with a skill and artistic sympathy, regardless of school or mannerisms, which impresses upon the spectator the inspiration which guided rather than led to the successful in- terpretation of her motif. She is at present engaged on a number of portraits, which promise to be fully as interesting from an artistic standpoint as any of those which have been exhibited. es Mr. William Fuller Curtis has also re- turned, after spending the past few years in Europe. His name will doubtless be familiar to the readers of current maga- zines, which frequently bear the young artist’s name, in connection with some of their most interesting Pictorial matter, Miss Katherine Chipman is temporarily exhibiting in the Corcoran Art Gallery a fine portrait in water color of the Rev. Edward Octavus Flagg, poet and late as- sistant rector of Grace Church, New York. The painting is an excellent specimen of portrait work, well drawn and modeled, with fresh, attractive coloring. Miss Chip- man is a Washington artist, although much of her time is spent in New York, where she has a studio, and a large circle of friends and patrons. Her work is almost entirely in portraiture, and is remarkable for the exquisite coloring, as well as other fine artistic qualities. ° ee Mr. Walter Paris is engaged on a large water color study of Washington scenery, looking down the river from the roof of Arlington Hotel. It is a novel and attrac- tive point of view, and the artist is putting his best workmanship and the result of long experience in such work upon the painting, which is bringing it to a point of excellence which will make it one of the most interesting ‘views’ which has ever been optatned: of =the city. . Mr. Emil Meyer is working on a large portrait of Mr. C. F. Crisp, Speaker of the House, which promises to be one of the most successful of the artist's recent pro- ductions. The portrait is striking as a like- ness, while the figure is posed in an easy, natural position.

His story was romantic. It appears that some months ago when a ship called the Astoria was about to leave Liverpool for & voyage to the Pacific coast to get grain the young man was brought aboard help- leasly intoxicated, together with a large amount of luggage. When he came to his senses the ship was out at sea and he was given a letter which told him where he could get any money he wanted in San Francisco and stating that Bell, Irving & Patterson of Vancouver would act as his ats in British Columbia. On reaching . he drew $3,000 that had been placed to his credit there and spent it riot- ously in a fortnight. Then he went up to Victoria and began to pile up debts like @ prince.

Last year there were parte failures of the grain crop in Great tain, Germany and France, but there was a big su is in Russia, India and the Argentine Republic, whose wheat comes in- to direct competition with our own. In Russia and Argentine machinery is used very little and in India not at all, because labor is so cheap there that it can be gotten for from three to ten cents a da’ this condition, climate and soil being eq and the rates of transportation the sa the United States cannot compete success. fully unk the price of wheat is such as to allow it to be delivered at the Atlantic seaboard free on board for shipment at @ cents a bushel, which means 45 or 50 cents a bushel to the Amer- fean farmer. Consequently the only cause that can improve the price of wheat in this country is crop failure or famine abroad.” 2 & “The time will come when an oyster will be as rare an animal as the buffalo,” said Jerome Fitch of New Haven at Willard’s today. “The natural beds of the north are nearly all decimated of their inhabitants, and if it wasn't for the seed grown in my native state of Connecticut few of them would last more than a year or two more. What do I mean by seed? Why, just what I say. The oyster seed industry is a very ‘Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.

There are hundreds of men along the water front of Connecticut who cultivate oysters for their sale as seed. I saw before I left home that a representative of the Connec- ticut shell fish commission had stated that 50,000 bushels of the tiny infant mollusks had already been sold and that 250,000 bush- els more would be disposed of by July when the season closes. The young oysters are sold to growers and the price paid for them averages about SO cents a bushel. They are grown in great quantities around Stratford, Milford and New Haven, and the output from these is usually sold to Providence river grow- ers, while the seed raised west of Bridgeport go to the cultivators on Steten Island. But cultivated oysters are, steadily deteriorating and in a few years will be tasteless, in my opinion.” “I don’t see why the people in Washing- ton should feel squeamish about the ap- proach of Coxey’s army when so many of the United Statés troops are stationed in the city and its vicinity,” said Henry Agar of New York at the Ebbitt this morning. “The mob has not yet been formed in this enlisted man in the government service could not frighten and which a squad of them could not scatter in five minutes.
