The Reverend Father McFeely, in the funeral sermon preached at St. Dominic's Church over the body of Michael Reuben Fenton, one of the dead heroes of the terrible disaster, called at- tention in emphatic sentences to the disre- gard shown the firemen in the matter of financial emolument and public recogni- tion, end the discussion which Father Mc- Feely’s sermon and other expressions in- spired has led to a definite movement look- ing to the improvement of the condition of the firemen, upon whose exertions and watchfulness and fearless courage the safe- ty of the property of the community large- ly depends. A petition has been drawn up and is now being circulated for signatures among the property holders and citizens generally in the city of Washington. It is addressed to Congress and prays that the salaries of the members of the fire department here be increased al a uniform rate of 25 per cent, one-half of such increase to revert to the firemen’s relief fund. The following table shows the present and proposed salaries of the members of the fire department, and the increase to be re- ceived by eacl ‘Present Proposed Increase. salary. salary. 1 chief engineer... $2,000 $2,500 2 asst. chief engin- 8,000 1,250 1,125 12 foremen. ® engineers. 9 firemen. 3 tillermen 3.150 13 hostlers. 13,650 82 privates. 82.000 6 watchmen i 4.50) 1 vet. surgeon. 500 Total ........117,900 1 rid o One-half of the total amount of the in- crease, which is $29,475, would amount to », and such a sum would insure to the relief fund the ability to take care of the numerous pensioners dependent upon it. —_—>_—__ FATAL RESULT. Wade Williams Dies From Effects of a Cable Accident. Wade Williams, who was struck by a cable car at 12th street and Pennsylvania avenue about eight months ago, died at the Emergency Hospital, where he had been since the accident, early yesterday morning. Williams was abcut twenty-eight years of age and leaves a wife and children. He had been unable to leave his bed since the ac- cident, and gradually grew weaker until the end came. Throughout his long fllness the devotion of his wife was marked, and she spent a great deal of her time by his bed- side, although she had to work to support her children. a Are Still Here. There has been little or no change in the condition of the crowd of so-called indus- trials encamped across the river near Ross- lyn, The same squalidity of the surround- ings and the surrounded and the almost utter lack of food prevail as before. A few ears of corn and some undersized pota- toes were begged from the farmers living adjacent to th> camp yesterday, but there is a general and growing disposition on the part of the public to no longer assist the idle aggregation with charitable contri- butions. The industrials claim that two additional armies are on the way to camp from points in the far west, the numbers of which aggregate 1,000 rehers. It is probable that the expected contingents will dwindle to small proportions before they reach Rosslyn, as a knowledge of the con- ditions which prevail az the camp has been generally spread over the country and prospective pilgrims to Washington are turning their footsteps in directions that promise to be more profitable from a beg- ging point of view. +. — Light Needed in Ford's Theater. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The action ef Congress in compelling the clerks of the record and pension division to return to the slaughter pen known as Ford's Theater is universally condemned as brutal. But it has been acquiesced In, and I suppose all the communications you could print would not change the office to another loca- tion, There is a matter, however, connected with the return of the clerks to the ill-fated building which can and should be attended to without delay. I refer to the altogether insufficient accommodations so far as ght is concerned. A moment's glance into the building will show that the larger part of the force are so remote from the windows that application to duty will mean a con- Stant strain on the eyesight. There is no necessity for this, One or two light wells could be so constructed that the semti-dark- nesw of the middie portion of the great rooms would disappear. Some one doubt- less has authority to order this to be done. For the sake of humanity I hope “some one” will make it his duty to have it done. Precious little consideration has so far been shown the survivors of last summer's hor- Hundreds of them have been deprived © livelihood weeks before there was any occasion for it. Let us hope that those who Were more fortunate were not retained in order that, later on, they might become candidates for blind asylums. AUGUST DONATH. —_— — Borrowing Money. A deed of trust has been executed by the trustees of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church on the church property, to secure a loan of $10,500, The money has been bor- rowed to carry on certain improvements. ———— Funeral of Charles Elliot. The funeral of the late Mr. Charies A.

Mr. Elliot was born in Wash- ington In October, 1833, and graduated from Georgetown College in 1ST%. For twenty years he had been a practicing attorney in this city. He had been in poor health for nearly two years. He leaves a widow and four chiidren, and two sisters, Mrs. Lan- caster and Miss Mary E. Elliot.

Crowded houses consequently will doubtless greet Barlow, Dolson end Pow- ers’ Mammoth Minstrels when they appear at the Bijou Theater on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights of next week, as well as for a matinee performance on Satur- day. The name of Milt Barlow is famous in the history of negro minstrelsy, and he has the enviable reputation of never hay- ing been connected with a poor or unat- tractive combination. Besides Mr. Barlow, the company coming to the Bijou comprises Frank Cushman, Tom Mack, Bert Wilson, Clayton and Jenkins and other well-known cork-faced comedians, besides specialty per- formers of more than average merit. Rea- sonable admission prices will prevail, and the sale of seats will open at the Bijou box office Monday morning at 9 o'clock, where reserved seats can be secured at 75, 5v and 25 cents. Amusement lovers will doubtless be high- ly gratified at the intelligence that the ever-popular Bijou Theatér will be regular- ly opened on August 27 with the production of “Darkest Russia.” The new proprietor and manager,Ormond H. Butler, has spared no expense to improve the cozy and com- fortable play house in every manner possi- ble, and the result has been that the thea- ter will hardly be recognized by even its best friends When it is thrown open for their inspection. From the rear of the stage to the front of the house it has been en- tirely overhauled and thoroughly reno- vated, and a prodigious amount of work has been dene With excellent results by the decorators, painters and upholsterers who ve been engaged in improving it.

Big Bands anda Orchestras to Piny— Another Handsome Medal for John Sousa—Other ‘Notes of Interest. While {t is not lkely that Washington will be favored with a roof garden for summer amusements there is a prospect that next year Convention Hall will be utilized for the same class of entertainment that has been furnished in the roof gar- dens of New York. The size of the hall is such that it can accommodate a large num- ber of people, and arrangements are to be made so that it will be thoroughly venti- lated and kept absolutely cool. It is un- derfstood to be the intention of the manage- ment to decorate it with palms and flowers, to place tables and chairs about and to bring to’ the hall the finest bands and or- chestras of the country. Already, it is sald, arrangements have been made to bring Sousa’s celebrated band, the Seidl and Damrosch orchestras, and negotiations are being made with other musical or- ganizations. The band concerts will be of Fopular character, with perhaps one or two classical selections thrown In during an evening, and the audiences will be allowed to enjoy the music and to sustain them- selves with beer and light refreshments. An effort in this direction was made some years ago, when Abner’s Garden was open- ed, and for a while it seemed to promise success, but there was something wrong with the business management as well as with the character of the attractions pre- sented and the scheme did not succeed. In regard to Convention Hall, it 1s stated that the management will conduct it upon strictly business principles, bringing only the best character of musical attractions and presenting everything in first-class shape. John Innes, the celebrated bandmaster, who has now control of the greater portion of the band formerly ied by the late P. 8. Gilmore, has written an allegorical canta founded on the iitcidents of the civil war and the return of peace. He has divided it into three p: and it is so arranged that it can be given with excellent spectacular effects, It requires in {ts presentation, of course, an excellent quartet and a arse | chorus, the larger the more effective. While there is some excellent: descriptive music in it, there are many well-known songs that were popular during the wa and which would piease the general public. His Intention is tnat it should be utilized by Grand Army men and veterans of the late war, and for that matter contederates can participate in it also, and thus make the presentation more realistic. A project 4s on foot to give the cantata here at no distant day, and it hoped that the effort will materi ize. it Is understood that a party of Washing- ton singers will shortly give a concert at Bay Midge, and from the character of those who will participate the program will undoubtedly be an excellent one. Signor Montegriifo, the well-known tenor, is the prime mover in the affair, and it is under- stood that his assistants will be Signor and Madame Maina and Miss Mary Helen Howe, with probably Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard. rhe beard of directors of the Choral So- clety will at their meeting on Monday night determine definitely upon the program to be given at their next excursion, and p: ably transact other business in regard to the concerts which \will be given during the ext season. There bas been so far re- narkable harmony in the board, each m ber seeming to be only actuated by earnest desire to promote the best inter of the organization. ‘he success of iast season has inspired them with a hope that next year the books will show a tinancial balance in favor of the society. Mr. John Philip Sousa must have a fine collection of medals, for ouly this week he was the recipient of a beautiful gold me from the board of directors of the Califo: midwinter international exposition San Francisco. It was recognition of the s of his band at the fair. The medal, which is suspended from a handsome crcssbar, by a Callfornia bear, ts a white enamel, with the coat-of-arms « fornia in raised gold in cross rests on crossed trumpe of plenty in colored enamels and is inscribed “California Midwinter Intert al Expo- sition, 184." A complimentary letter trom Director General M. H. De Young ac panied the gift. Sousa has been decorated with medals four times in the last. ten months. The directors of the St. Louis ex- position gave him a diamond-studded souve- nir, the Italian colony of St. Louis presented an artistic gold medal and the musicians of Leadville, Col, sent a gold and silver trophy from nearby mines. Every one in Washington will be glad to learn of Mr. Sousa’s success and that of his band. The Cosmopolitan for this month devotes considerable space to a sketch of the development of this band, with portraits of Sousa and his principal soloists, Mr. Henry Xander ts spending the sum- mer at Brighton Beach, L. 1, attending the Seidl concerts. Mrs. H. H.

Joe Jefferson made his first «p- pearance in Washington, I believe. I have found some excellent material here during this summer, and have given several ladies an opportunity to appear with the comedy company.
