Maurice Stack, one of Washington's well- known citizens, died at his home, 743 2d street northwest, this morning about 4 o’clock afte> a short illness. The deceased ‘was about sixty-seven years of age and has been a resident of this city since a young man. His many good traits of character endeared him to all who khew him and the news of his death will be a sad blow to his many friends. He was well known ‘im temperance circies, being an active Jonadab, having held a number of offices therein. His wife and three sons survive him, his eldest son being one of the staff ef physicians at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for the Insane. —__. Messenger Boys’ Garden Party. By the courtesy of Mrs. Olivia Briggs her charming g-ounds, located on South Carolina avenue between 6th and 7th streets northeast, will be used for the Pleasure of the messenger boys and their friends of the W. C. T. this evening. The Imperial Banjo and Mandolin Club, also some young fifers and drummers and cornetists, will enliven the occasion with Spirited music. At the social on Saturday evening last there were “bird songs,” recitations and other diversions and at the close the boys marched out like soldiers, singing, “Keep step ever, with the right and the true.” Southwest Union donated the refreshments. ———_—_ Kindergarten and School Commence- ment. The closing exercises of Mrs. Louisa Mann's kindergarten and of her school ‘were heid simultaneously on the 2th inst. @t 1918 Sunderland place. The parlors ‘were crowded with admiring parents and friends of the children, who all looked their prettiest while alternating songs ‘with recitations appropriate to the season. An interesting feature of the occasion was the entire absence of self-conscious- mess in the child-en, which is the result of a healthful development under kinder- garten influences. The children participat- img were Blanche Lazo Ai Kort- wright Church, Mildred Duvall, Paul Fer- @uson, Heien and Allen Galt, Benjamin and Gibson, Carol Lothrop, itobert Lyne, Eva McAdoo, George Meline, Frank Paul, Dorothy Ruff, Phyllis Snyder, Mary Southeriand, Charies Walcott, Laura Wells, Price Williamson and Donald and Cath- erine Woodward.

An Exciting Chase—The Animal Kiil- | ed—Too Many Tramp Dogs at Large at Present. A mongrel dog, supposed to be mad, made its appearance on Capitol Hill yesterday afternoon and succeeded in biting the little daughter of Senator Kyle and several dogs before its mad fight was brought to a sud- den end by a policeman’s pistol. Senator Kyle's daughter was on the sidewalk with a number of playmates, not far from the home of her parents,on 2d street near Mary- land avenue, when the infurfated canine came up the street at full tilt and fright- | ened them. The animal was foaming at the mouth and snapping and snarling at trecs, fences and imaginary objects in its path, showing every outward evidence of being mad. The frightened children made an ef- fort to rua faster than the dog and reach a place of safety before the animal could reach them, but Senator Kyle's child was unfortunate enough to bring up the rear of the crowd, and before she could reach her home the animal overtook her. Stopping only for an instant the dog took the chiid’s hand between its teeth, and the little one, in attempting to release her hand, only suc- ceeded in making the wound more severe pom it would, perhaps, otherwise have Not more than a minute elapsed between the time tne dog appeared and when he dis- appeared. This offense of the dog did not | satisfy the animal, and he continued on his wild and exciting trip through East Wash- ington, biting several dogs and frightening many persons. When Lincoln Park was reached there was a large party in pursuit of the animal, the latter seeking refuge in the bushes, where he snapped at the twigs and low branches of the trees. Finally the wild animal seemed to become aware of the fact that his pursuers were bent on killing him, for he soon left the park and gave his pursuers a merry chase across the com- mons. Policemen from the ninth precinct had joined in the pursuit, and although they Saw the dog several times, it was not until 4th and K streets was reached that the dog was corraled In a front yard and killed by Policeman Elisworth, who fired two shots into the animal's body. While all this was going on the little victim of the animal was suffering. She had been picked up from where the dog left her and carried into the house of her parents, where the wounds on her hand were cauterized. On account of the possi- bility of the child developing a case of hydrophobia Senator Kyle will probably have the injured child sent to the Pasteur Institute in New York. ‘Too Many Dogs. It is said by the police that the number of dogs on the street now is unusually large, and surprise is expressed that Pound- master Einstein does not capture more of them. The weather affects these animals, | said a police official to a Star reporter this morning, and he thought that stringent | measures to impound them should be taken. The pound service is badly erlppled, it is said, by the health office, which requires service other than impounding and killing | dogs. These men are required to burn and de- stroy bedding and other articles taken from rooms in which scarlet fever ani diph- theria patients have been treated, although there is a special appropriation for this pur- | @ pose. In addition to this, the men haul ashes from the health office and serve as general utility men when they should be out ridding the city of tramp dogs. During the time that the smallpox patient was confined in the hospital these men had to haul all the supplies between the health office and the hospital. During all last week only sixty aogs were captured, and fifty-four of them were killed. —_— Marriage Licenses. The clerk of the court has issued marriage licanses to the following: Chas? D. Bryan and Rebecca Brookes; Wm. H. Nealg and Jennie Young; Ewd. J. Murphy and Emily Sears; Wm. E. Stewart and Estella Mel- chlor; George Franklin and Martha Giles; David M.

Terry and An- nie Belle Kidd, both of Goochland county, Va.; Chas. M. Osborn and Mamie L. Martin; Marcel Cordove and Mary Dorsey. eee A Boy Drowned. Henry Bernard Brown, a ten-year-old boy, whose mother lives at No. 500 E street southwest, did not go out of the city on an excursion yesterday, and so_ in the after- noon he went with some playmates to the coffer dam, near the Georgetown channel, and went in swimming. The little boy waded out in the water, but on the uneven surface he was unable to walk fast. Be- fore reaching the channel he stepped in a hole and disappeared. His companions soon became aware of his disappearance, and their cries attracted the attention of a number of persons in the neighborhood of the bridge, who responded to their cries, but they could render no assistance to the | boy, who had disappeared. The body was | recovered within an hour's time and re- | moved to his mother’s home. Coroner | Woodward gave a certificate of death, ee A Messenger Boy Arrested. Special Officer Ben E. Dakin yesterday arrested Edward O'Donnell, a Rapid Tran- sit messenger boy, upon a charge of steal- ing a Victor bicycle from a son of Repre- sentative Tom L. Johnson of Ohio. The machine was valued at $15. O'Donnell was locked up at the first precinct station. > -— Lively at the Emergency. Affairs were rather lively at the Emer- gency Hospital yesterday afternoon. James Carrick, a young white man, while playing base ball at Ivy City, slipped and broke his right leg; Wm. H. King, white, a school- |! boy, who resides at Eckington, cut off the end of the index finger of his left hand with | a lawn mower and Dr. Bell sewed it on; | Maggie Ambrose of 2th street received treatment for a contusion of the right shoulder and left knee; John Kuling, a col- ored laborer, celebrated the holiday by en- gaging in a row, and thereby suffered a contused wound over the right eye one and | one-half inches long. —_ > A Charge of Intoxication. There was a squad of mounted policemen leading the commonweaiers on their way to the Peace monument yesterday, and a citi- | zen reported to Capt. Austin that one of the guardians was under the influence of liquor. Policeman D. J. Coleman was the officer pointed out by the citizen, and Capt. Austin | directed the attention of one of the ser- geants to him. The result was that the of- | | ticer mentioned was sent to the police sta- | and now charges of Intoxication have n preferred against him. Capt. Austin said to a Star reporter this morning that he saw Officer Coleman yes- terday, but he could not say that he was under the influence of quor. He thought, however, that the officer had taken some- ting that gave him the appearance of a| | man who had been drinking. | The affair was a surprise to the officers In | | the ranks, for it is said that Officer man’s condition was hardly noticeable them. When the case is tried, however, the witnesses will be called to give evidence, | | and among them will be the citizen who made the complaint. i a | The Sacngerbund's Excursion. | | | | | fais | The Saengerbunds will give an excursion River View next Sunday, and the 700| | members will join in a mammoth ovt-of-dcor | festival of song and music, The chorus of one hundred voices will sing the prize song { | to be rendered at the New York festival. | The 4 nm Singing Club will assi and; | River View will be a veritable Fatherland jon t day.

There has not yet been a complete iden- tification of the body of the man found in the river near Mt. Vernon last Friday, as printed in ‘The Star yesterdzy, but from Superintendent Dodge of Mount Vernon ad- ditional particulars of the finding of the body and the surrounding circumstances have been obtained to indicate that the man committed suicide and not that he was mur- dered. A man named Dickson, who lives in Alexandria, made the ghastly discovery. He Was on the river in a small boat at the time. and instead of leaving the body and | letting it wash away while he went to re- port the facts, he made the body fust to a Stake in the water and then notitied Supt. Dedge of the find. ‘the dead man was comfortably dressed in @ suit of blue serge, a white shirt and a polka-dot tie. His clothing was apparently im good condition, although the mud, and water had discolored them. When the body was taken ashore and an examination made it was clear to the mind of Supt. Dodge that the man had taken his own life. There Was one bullet hole in his body, the butlet having entered the left breast just below the nipple. Both the outer and under shirt had been cut away from the left breast in order that the bullet would not soll the garments, and, perhaps, cover the wound afterward, so that the body might be interred without the relatives,and friends of the dead man knowing that he had taken his own Ife. 4n one pocket of the coat was found @ new leather wallet, in which were new treasury notes, one and two dollar bills, $31 in all. ‘Yhen there a box of 43 cart- ridges and a new pistol cleaner. The sev- en cartridges that had been taken from the box, it 1s thought, filled a seven-shoo:er, with which the deed was committed. There was a large stone in the trousers pocket, while a number of stones tied in a hand- kerchiet had been put in the coat pocket. On the shore not far from where the bedy was discovered was found a white rili lining of a hat, in which a number of stones had been placed, but the bundle was evi- dently too large to be put in a pocket. ‘This hat lining bore the address of a hat- ter at No. 50 Chureh street, New York, and it 1s thought possible that the man came here from that city and suicided. The police feel satisfied that the body is not that of Addie Moskovits, the missing Hungarian, and they feel satisfied that he has returned to his native country. iste TO BE TEACHERS. ‘The Graduates of the Howard Unt- versity Normal Department. The commencement exercises of the nor- mal department of Howard University took place last evening in the college chapel, uni- versity building. The chapel was tastefully decorated with bunting and flags. Over the platform was the class motto, “No Steps Backward,” tn large gold letters on a black background. The capacity of the chapel was taxed to its fullest extent by the vast audience that assembled, notwithstanding the threatening weather, to greet the normal class, "04. Richards, Dr. J. T. Jenifer and Rev. 8. N. Brown, Prof. G. W. Cook, principal of the department, and the following members of the normal faculty: Miss Ella L. Smith, Miss Romena Hunter, Miss Elisabeth A. Cook and Mr. Charles 8. Syphax. The following orations were well received: “Advancement of Woman Since the Dark Ages,” by Miss Harriet Lewis; “Prayer,” by Miss Genevieve Thompson; “Teaching as a Profession,” by Miss Lillian Holmes, and “Influence of Mental Discipline,” by Mr. George L. Seaton. After the awarding of diplomas by Presi- dent Rankin, Dr. Jenifer, in very fitting terms, delivered the address to the class, The presentation of prizes for best essay writing and for best scholarship by Princi- pal Cook was full of interest, The “Andrew F. Hilyer” prize of ten dollars in gold was presented to Miss Irene G. Parker, thi “Lewis A. Douglas” prize of five dollars in gold to Miss Thompson, the “Gen. Geo. Bal- loch” prize of five dollars in gold to Mr. Seaton, and the “Martha B. Briggs prize (a handsome gold medal) to Miss Holmes, The program was interspersed with soul- stirring music by the Cook orchestra. The chief musical features were a solo by Miss Belle Gibbons and one by Master Henry Murray. The members of the graduating class were Brown, Lillian E. Holmes, Harriet A. Lewis, Gertrude L. Merritt, Irene G. Parker, Genevieve Thompson, Mary 1. Thurston, Washington, D. C.; George L. Seaton, Alexandria, Va. >— AMUSEMENTS. Academy of Music.—A large and enthusi- astic audience assembled at the Academy of Music last night to witness the performance of “The Three Dukes” by a local amateur company styling themselves the Washing- tonians. The opera is the work of two for- mer high school boys, and both in music and libretto is shown the evidence of decid- ed talent. Many of the numbers are de-! cidedly catchy, and the audience was quick to recognize the fact and applause was abundant. Much originality of construc- tion is shown by the composer and in some of the concerted numbers excellent effects are produced. The musical score is better than that of some comic operas that have made professional successes, and the book much that is bright and sparkling. pany presenting the opera is an ex- cellent one and shows what a wealth of amateur talent there is in Washington. Miss Dorothy Byrde Rogers sings the lead- ing soprano part and her sweet and pow- erful voice is heard to excellent advantage. She received an emphatic encore to each of her solos, and richly deserved them. The invocation to the moon in the second act, with all its difficulties of intervals, was a test of the excellence of her work, while in the concerted numbers in which’ she par- ticipated her clear tones were heard above all the others. Her character of Donna Isabelle made her the mother of two daugh- ters—Misses Lincoln and Sullivan—but her pretty face and youthful appearance could not to be disguised, and decidedly negatived the Ines of the book that referred to her ‘as a back number. Miss Bertha Lincoln has had some professional experience and this was manifest in the ease of manner wita which she took the part of Valencia. She dressed it appropriately and richly, all her costumes being the subject of highly complimentary remark by the feminine por- tion of the audience. She sang artistically encored, both in her bolero in the first act, and in her song in the second. The latter had to be repeated twice before the audience would be satisfied. Miss Ce- cilia Sullivan is the youngest of the three principals and as this {s her first venture in opera her performance was quite remark- able. She is an exceedingly pretty girl and sings and acts with considerable spirit. She, too, was complimented by an encore to her solo in the second act. The principal male characters are taken by W. H. Harris, Don Cachucl Hans Robert, Stephano; Felix Mahoney,’ Sebas- tian, and 1 Judson, Benzino, and while they are hardly up to the standard set by the ladies they are all good and fur- nish much amusement by their acting. They carry the musical numbers allotted them effectively. Mr. Harris {s a good comedian and in his topical song was re- called again and again until he was ab- ried with the It was good work, however, and as the stanzas were his own the desire for moze on the part of the audience was highly mentary.

Mias Villa Custis Seriously Injured— The Bridge Was Rotten—The Accident at Great Falls. A rotten foot bridge at the Great Falls caused a serious accident yesterday. That it did not result fatally was almost a mar- vel. A party of picnickers from Capitol Hill included Dr. G. W. N. Custis of 112 East Capitol street and his family and Mr. B. Baldwin and family, who composed the majority of the party, which was about | eighteen in number. They were all cross- | ing over to the rocks in the midst of the falls from the Maryland shore by way of the long narrow bridge swung partly on wire cables and partly on wooden girders. When the first group of the party reached the second span of the bridge from the falls there was a sharp crack and the girders broke, letting seven of the excursionists into the swift stteam below. The water was about up to the armpits of a man and some of the ladies were sent over their depth. The men of the party, who chanced to be walking behind, ran down the rocks of the small inlet and succeeded, after great effort, in getting all of the people out of the water. All seven were badly shocked and bruised, but only one, Miss Villa Custis, the daugh- ter of Dr. Custls, was seriously injured. One of her limbs was dislocated, and she was painfully bruised by the rocks in the bed of the stream, against which the was buffeted by the current. She was «realy exhausted when rescued, and for a time it was feared that she had sustained some serious fractures. This, nowever, was not | the case, and she was quite able to be taken | home. The injured of the party were} brought back from the falls on a steam launch tendered by another party of pic-| nickers. Sensational reports of the acci-| dent went abroad and reached the prints. Mrs. Delos Smith was among the injured. | Dr. Custis said to a Star reporter this morning: “It is not true, as has been pub- shed, that the party was swinging and jumping on the bridge. We were passing | over quietly and without any unnecessary | activity. I inspected the bridge after the accident, and Iam convinced hat the gird- ers were rotten. There was every evidence of dry rot. I do not think there was any cable on that span, though there may have been one strand, perhaps an inch in} diameter, The materials of the bridge looked to me like driftwood. There was no unusual weight on the bridge, and there | was no skylarking or romping. There were | other people passing to and fro on the bridge. It was a miracle that some (f the people were not killed, “The heroism of George Pitts, a lad four- teen years of age, was commented on by the entire party. He happened to fall in the | deepest portion of the water, together with | his mother and Mrs. Baldwin’s maid. The little fellow pluckily held up the two wo- | men until assistance came and they were released from what might have been a perilous position owing to the swift cur- rent.” — AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Several Notes of General Interest From Across Rock Creek. A conveyance to which two horses were | attached was found on the Canal road last night about 10 o'clock. It had been aban- doned, it is said, by a party of four, two men and two women. They had been thrown through the spirit of the horses, | recetved injuries, and, unwilling to trust | themselves further, had left the team in the middle of the road and gone to a drug store for repairs. Through the strain brought upon it the harness had been broken In several places. The vehicle had also shared in some rough treatment. The condition in which Prospect street extended has been left by the contractor, through the order of the authorities, is causing a storm of indignation to arise among those most directly interested. Open ditches are in the roadway, private water pipes are exposed, piles of ‘earth are scat- tered here and there, impeding, actually | stopping, road traffic, and owing to the un- finished grade owners cannot tell as yet what changes in their front steps, ete., will be necessary. Tenants have been so inconvenienced along the line that many have moved to other sections, thereby causing financial loss to the taxpayers of the section. The street is to be left in its present condition for an indefinite period, the authorities, it is understood, having said that the absence of money with which | to carry on the work necessitated the stoppage. Either the improvement will go over for anothe> year or a special appro- | priation will have to be made to complete the work begun. } Fifty-four of the Hoffman mine strikers | in the Cumberland region have returned | to work and other preliminary steps | toward the resumption of active opera- tions have been taken. There are sufficient men in the Union mines now to take out ; 02 tons a day. | _ Excursions to Indian Head. Tomorrow, Friday, June 1, the steamer Macalester commences her regular Friday | and Saturday evening trips to Marshall Hall and Indian Head, continuing them en these days through the month of June. After June trips will be. made every Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday throughout the season. These are the most deligntful cx- cursions given on the Potomac—iovely scen- | ery and sunsets on the down trip, and | moonlight on return. This company, ever thoughtful of the public interest and com- fort, have arranged a 40 p. m. steamer to leave Marshall Hall every evening dur- ing the season. —_. __ Campmeeting Election, At the annual meeting of the stockhold- ers of the Washington Grove Camp Meet- ing Association yesterday trustees for the ensuing year were elected as follows: Fred.
