Mr. J. Alfred Fleming,a prominent farmer living about one mile from Frederick, Md., met with sudden death under circumstances of peculiar sadness on Monday morn- ing. He arose in the morning in apparent good health, and was sitting at the break- fast table in the dining room, when ho heard a heavy body fall in the room above him, occupied by his daughter, Mrs. Calvin Zimmerman. He reached her room and found her on the floor in apparent death. The sudden shock brought on a spell of heart trouble, to which he had been sub- t, and he fell to the floor dead himself. daughter was only in a faint, and shortly after her father’s death was re- vived. Mr. Fleming was in his fifty-fourth year. He leaves a wife and several chil- dren. en He Does: Object.

Those Who Give Dimes and Those Who Give Dollars — Make Some One Happy. More names are to be added today to the Ust of givers to The Evening Star Santa Claus Club, more than have been added on any other day previously. This is en en- couraging sign. The money can not come in too rapidly or too generously. There ought to be a thousand dollars raised by these larger contributions. There will be up- wards of $3,000 raised fgom the sale of badges alone, mostly in the public schools, and so, if the present signs continue, a very neat sum will be secured. There will not be a cent too much, though, and would not be if twice the amount were given. Ten thousand dollars would not relieve all the actual suffering*and want that exists today among, the poor of Washington. Letters are coming from every possible source call- ing attention to needy cases. There will be a meeting of the superyising principals at The Star office next Saturday to go over the lists of cases reported, and then the distribution of the money among the di- visions will be made. Meanwhile the sale of badges is spreading into the various branches of the govern- ment. Yesterday and today the judges and court officials at the City Hall were eayer- ly paying their dimes for the pretty blue ribbons, and today the Santa Claus badges are shining forth from the bench of jus- tice just aw proudly as from the school room. There is no age known by charity. Every person’s dime is just as good as the next one’s, but some one’s dollar is better than anybody's dime. That is to say, the dollar is better in that it will do more good. It isnot a whit more readily or gratefully received, how- ever, and The Star and the members of the club are just as thankful for a penny as for a $10 bill, for it is the spirit in which the money is given that savors the act, and not the sum. The list up to noon today was as follows: The Evening Star Company.. $500.00 Jurors in J se Bingham’s court. 10.00 R. Ross ¥ Lous Mackail James “. Fitch. A. S. Gilbert Weld... Georgetown Saturday Music Club. Lilly and Katie... Heilbrun & Company. F. C.. . Ruth Harper Pilling. Miss Dr. A. C. Patter: G. and L. Mamie, Maggie and Charley Dunn. Mariani Smith . Ca J.D. Master G.

THEY WANT IMPROVEMENTS. Attention Called to Neglect of North Capitol Section At an enthusiastic meeting of the North Capitol Improvement Association held last evening in Loefiler's Hal) a memorial was adopted for presentation to the Commis- sioners and to the appropriation commit- tees of the Senate and the House of Rep- resentatives. In brief, the memorial states that very little has been done in the way of improving the streets in the vicinity of North Capitol street for ten years or more. That section of the city is now well built up, say the signers, and they ask that the Commissioners improve at the earliest opportunity the following thoroughfares: North Capitol street, from O street to Florida avenue; O street, from New Jersey avenue to Ist street east; P street, from North Capitol street to Florida avenue east; Ist street west, from Pierce street to Florida avenue; 3d street west, from P street to Florida avenue; Q street, from 3d | as standing first. AMUSEMENTS. Hamline M. E, Church.—There will be a sacred concert of the Hamline Choral Union at the Hamline Church, corner 9th and P streets northwest, on Friday evening next that will be of great interest to those who enjoy the highest form of musical compesition. This union is composed of excellent material and the members have been under cereful rehearsals, so that they may be expected to do superior work. The chief number that it will sing will be Dud- ley Buck's Festival Te Deum in E flat. The soloists at the concert will be Miss Flora Holden, soprano; Miss Florence McNelly, contralto; Douglas Miller, tenor; Elphonso Youngs, jr., basso; Gtis D, Swett and Dr. J. W. Bischoff, organists. Mr. Stevens on Japan.—Tonight at Met- zerott Music Hall Mr. Durham White Stevens, counsellor of the Japanese lega- tion, will deliver a new lecture on Japan. He will describe sthe Japanese people as only an observant American who has lived among them for sixteen years can do, Mr. Stevens will tell what he knows of these “Yankees of the east,” will explain the progress toward modern civilization which they are making, and will describe the Americanization of the people. There is promise of an overflowing house tonight. Many distinguished members of the diplo- matic corps will be present. Mr. Stevens tonight takes the place of Mr. Lewis Harvie Finney, who was to give his new lecture on “The Glories of the Nile,” but was prevented by illness. “Hamlet."—At Metzerott Music Hall to- morrow night Rev. D. J. Stafford, D.D., will deliver a lecture on “Hamlet.” Dr. Stafford has been a close student of Shakes- peare’s works for years, and it may safely be predicted that his analysis of the great dramatist’s most complex creation will be intelligent, critical and interesting. The proceeds of the lecture are to start a fund for a new operating room at the Emergency Hospital. Bishop Keane's Lecture.—A large audi- ence assembled yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in Willard Hail to hear Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic University, discourse about “The Soul of Literature and Art.” The audience paid the utmost attention to the speaker. Bishop Keane announced that it was his original inten- tion to deliver two lectures, but he bad concluded to combine the pair, and in or- der to be as concise as possible he had written his thoughts and would read from the manuscript. All real literature and art, according to Bishop Keane, must em- body the ideal, Three attributes are nec: sary—truth, beauty and goodness. With- out the possession of this trio, alleged lit- erary works and works in art are worth- less, “he speaker gave instances of those | whose works in poetry, music and sculp- | ture are practically ‘perfect because in | them are embodied truth, beauty and sood- In closing, the bishop expressed his that the highest type of literature and art has not as yet been reached, and also that the world will see absolute per- fection in those lines some time in the future. “Land of the Midnight Sun.”—The second and concluding lecture of Rev. M. W. Ham- ma on the “Land of the Midnight Sun” will be delivered at the Memorial Lutheran Church tonight. Those who heard the first-lecture on Monday night will need no urging to attend this evening. Mr. Ham- ma is a clear and effective speaker, ond his remarks are illustrated by numerous excellent stereopticon views. Handel's “Messiah."—As a composer of choral music Handel is generally regaried No one ever excelled him in developing the resources of the chorus. | The chorus numbers in “The Messiah” are | nctably fine, the favorites being the “Halle- lujah” chorus, and, hardly second to the | other, the chorus, “For Unto Us a Child is | Born, which, as rendered by the Choral 5 | Scciety, always wins the warmest approval | of the audience. The performance on Fri- day evening, the 28th, at Convention Music Hall, will be complete in every respect. The prices are right for the times, with an ample number of seats for all. “Shore Acres.” ‘or the lover of the beautiful and poetic Mr. James A. Herne’s play, “Shore Acres," which is announced for production at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House on Monday evening next, will prove an enjoyable as weil as promtanie enter- tainment. The play, which will be seen here for the first time on this occasion, has achieved a deserved success, phenomenal runs having teen mace in New York, Brooklyn and Boston. One eminent writer hes said that “ ‘Shore Acres’ is as dell- cately and simply beautiful as a morning glory. Is characters ure so clear and com- manding, so delightfully quaint and in- genious, its sentiments are so poetic, its moral is so sweet, that he who can resist cr miss its influence is either superesthetic or mentally gross.” Only second to the play is the author's interpretation of the role of Nathaniel Berry. Although Mr. Herne has long been recognized as an able character actor, never before has his in- dividual work been so widely commented upon or so carefully analyzed. The pre- sentation to be given of “Shore Acres” in this city will be equal in every respect and detail to that given at Daly's Theater, New York. There will be a matinee Christ- mas day and Saturday. > “Letting in. the Jungle.” The conclusion of Rudyard Kipling’s story in next Saturday's Star.

Sharretts, for many years a faithful and trusted employe in the office of the aulitor fer the Treasury Department, has resigned on account of failing health. Mr, Sharretts has been in the service of the Treasury Department for thirty-seven years, having been person- ally appointed by President Buchanan. Prior to his removal to this city he was employed in Lancaster, Pa., as paying tel- ler of the Farmers’ Bank, where his probi- ty and fidelity won for him the esteem of the entire communit position eminently fit- ting him for his duties in the Treasury De- artment. During the whole term cf his long service his relations with the clerks and officials have been of the pleasantest character, ani much regret is expressed over his voluntary action in severing his of- ficial connection with the government. Mr. Sharretts is well known here as having been conected with several of the promi- nent choirs and as leader of the singing in St. Paul's English Lutheran Church for about three years, in Wesley Chapel for seven years, in Grace Church for one year, in Foundry Church for six years, in Fif- teenth Street M. E. Church for seven years — in Hamline Church for nearly two . He has exchanged his desk in Washington for the freedom of country life in Smithsburg, Ma. —>—_—_ Bitten by a Dog. Yesterday evening about 5:30 o'clock the bright little daughter of Mr. R. R. Burr, business manager of the Republic, was badly bitten by a dog near his residence, 1813 12th street northwest. After having the bite cauterized Mr. Burr had the dog shot. The little girl was on her way to the drug store, when the dog ran up and Lit her from behind.

Brandes oft: 1166 5th street northeast has written ajlengthy communt- cation to the Commissidners, calling at- tention to tite dangerous.condition of the grade crossing at H stroet and Delaware avenue northeast, on the:main line of the Baltimore and Ohio raiirbad. In his letter to the Commissioners today he relates an incident {which occurred to @ herdic while crossing! the tracks at this point. He says: “While on my way to office a few morn- ings ago an incident oecurred to the her- dic in which I was riding,:which impressed vpon me in a rather startling manner the great danger of grade erossings. Incoming and outgoing trains arerconstantly crossing H street northeast at >the intersection o Delaware avenue, at brief intervals. Just at the present time this crossing is more dargerous than ever, due to the cable con- struction. A narrow passage on each side of the street is open, the one on the south for the exclusive use of the horse cars and that on the north for all other vehicles. “On the morning in question as our her- dic driver was cautiously proceeding to cross the track one of the hind wheels suddenly plurged into a hole about a foot deep, the horses and the front part of the herdic being brought to a standstill Square upon the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. It was seemingly {m- Eessible for the animals to move the her- je. “A gang of cable construction laborers Mere promptly sent to our assistance, and in a short time the wheel was lifted out of the deep rut. Had an express train heen coming around the curve at that par- ticular moment no power on earth could have prevented a terrible disaster, as the herdic was crowded with passengers and the doors were tightly closed, thereby pre- venting egress. “Now, gentlemen, my object in notifying you of this occurrence is to make you acquainted with the great danger existing at the crossing referred to at the present time on account of the narrow and dan- gerous passages allowed for vehicular travel, ard I would suggest the propriety of issuing an order at the earliest possi- ble moment requiring all trains on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to come to a full stop when within 100 feet or so of H street, and then proceed to carefully cross said street. “This would not be an unusual order. All trains on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad are required to come to a stop before crossing the ‘shell road’ at Old Point Comfort, Va., where the travel is insignificant compsred with that on H street northeast in this cit His letter has been referred to the en- gineer department for investigation and report. ——_—_ Specially provided coaches over the Bal- timore and Ohio railroad tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. to it Joel Gutman’s great sale.
