Severnl::Cases ‘of Vagrancy in the Police Court. “This qigevamother temperance lecture,” waste speaks of’Judge Kimball in the Police Court this morning, when a man named Edward M. Hine appeared under the vagrancy law, on a charge of being an habitual drunkard. The man had not recovered from the effects of his month's spree, and Policeman Barney said that, although friends had assisted the family, the man was able to get what whisky he wa said the officer, “he had three ited. ‘And,”? half-pint bottles of whisky.’ The officer said that the man is a good mechanic and can get all the work he can do. “I had a job for him,” said the police- man, “but could not get him sober.” Then the nervous man tried to tell the judge that he was not an habitual drunk- “I've been on a spree for a month,” he stammered, “but I ain’t no habitual drunk- He asked the judge to give him a ehance, saying, “I'll stop drinking and go to work.” Judge Kimball told him he was in no con- dition to be let go, and sentenced him to thirty days. “Then you had better make ‘it ninety,” said the prisoner, as he started back to- ward the dock. James Dunn, a tall man, with long beard, who gets a pension, plead guilty to a charge of being a vagrant. “He has been drunk,” said the officer, “and his pension money Is all gone.” “I had money,” said the prisoner, “and after I paid 1sy board with it I was put out of the house.” He told the judge that he was sick, and the judge told him he would give him thirty days where he would get hospital treat- ment.

Death of John Summerficld McKen- néy—Western High School Enter- tainment—Other Items. Mr. John Summerfield McKenney, grand- son of Henry Foxall, one of the fathers of Georgetown, diced yesterday afternoon at his home, 3123 Dumbarton avenue, at the age of sixty-four years. He was essen- tially a student, and made a special study of everything antique that came beneath his notice. He gathered together a fine col- lection of rare books and curiosities,among them timepieces of queens and valuable bric-a-brac from many countries. Mr. Mc- Kenney succeeded to a large portion of the original Foxall estate, embracing the big tract along the Foxall roads. Being a close ‘student, Mr. McKenney was neces- sarily exclusive in his habits, and, he sel- dom left Georgetown. He never married. Mr. McKenney died yesterday just as the remains of Mr. Memmert, who iived oppo- site, were being carried to the cemetery. He had been in bad health for son:e time, but a sudden attack at the heart was the immediate cause of death. Westerm High School Entertainment. The “Our no Phunn,” given by the “Kamptown Soshul Klub,” ihe seventeen members of which are boys of the West- ern High School, at Curtis Hall yesterday, Proved to be a big success. It was a reg- ular old-time minstrel performance.. There Were new jokes, old jokes and revarnished jokes, all carefully gelected with a view to local interest, and there were musical numbers, vocal and instrumental, that made decided hits. Among the features of the program were: A ladies’ quartet, “The Owl and the Pussy Cat,” by Misses “Bir- die” Duckette, ‘Seaichi” and “Melba” Kirtland and ordica” Alexander; banjo solo, “All” Wright; vocal solo, George ‘Thompson. There were other “musikal” speciaities, as follows: Violin solo “Signor Paganini” Benkert; autoharp duet, “Scal- chi”. Kirtland and “Daisy” Beall. Other entertainers were featured as ‘‘Temagno” McKee, “M.”"Plancon De Reszke” Rams- Miss Sally Whiting, Capt. Joe K. Taussig, A. B. Bennett, jr., Wm. Lewis and Miss “Onion” Hieston. The interlocutor was Mr. Robert Leetch. Mr. Ed. Tracey, who assisted the Western School pupils in the preparation of the program, rendered a cornet solo. The choruses were especial- ly good. The “Kamptown Soshul Klub” will give another performance- at a very early date. The costumes of the minstrels were strikingly gorgeous, and were re- sponsible for half the hits. The audience was composed not only of students, but of friends of the students also, Real Estate Matters. C. H. Fickling yesterday sold to E. K. Waters and D. Darby Thompson lot 168 in Ashford’s sub in square 112, being improved property in Cooke Park. ~ A sale of some importance was that of Daniel Linkins and John F. Linkins of part of lot 103, Beatty and Kawkins’ addition, to Thos. J. Biggins. The consideration of $7,000 is named in the conveying instru- ment. This property is known as the old Daniel Linkins coal yard site, and is locat- ed at the northwest corner of 33d and N streets. Improvements Needed. West End citizens are much dissatisfied over the neglect with which the Commis- sioners have treated this section in the preparation of the improvement schedules. The appropriation this year provides for but one street, Road or U. There are many others in a deplorable condition. The Val- ley street sidewalks have been upturned for several weeks. T street has no side- walks. K street is uneven. 37th is without any grade at all. P between 35th and 37th has neither sidewalks nor passable road- way. 26th and 27th are in a fearful con- dition. Olive avenue has only rough cob- ble stones, and many other streets are sadly in need of the contractor’s attention. A Children’s Fair. A children’s fair was held on Friday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stan- ton, 3001 O street, the proceeds of which the little ones intend turning over to the Home for Incurables. Despite the inclem- ency of the weather, the receipts were rather flattering, while those who were present enjoyed themselves in a very pleas- ant way. The guiding spirits of the fair were Misses Louise and Elenor Stanton, Lilian and Amie Smith, Louisg Probey, Margaret Stearns, Masters Riley, Stanton and Herbert Doyle. Notes. The body of John Jacob Frey was inter- red this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Services were first held in Oak Hill chapel. Mr. Charles Memmert’s funeral took place yesterday. Four members of Oriental Ledge of Odd Fellows, of which-deceased was a member, and Messrs. B. F. Harper and John Pimper acted as pallbearers. The mill buildings of John F. McClain yed by fire on The saw milf shared in the de- Thursday. The loss amounts to about ‘struction. $3,000. Mr. Chas. P. Williams has gone to Flori- da for ten days or two weeks. ——e—— Facts Concerning Frederick Douglass To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘Will you kindly allow me to correct an error made by the Associated Press re- ports of the funeral services of Frederick Douglass in speaking of Mr. Stevenson as the pastor of the white church in Ana- costia which Mrs. Douglass attendeG? The friends of Frederick Douglass must never be pained by the reflection that that reverent head bowed at one altar and his wife at another. Frederick Douglass, for reasons approved of God, attended the church he did, the African Methodist Church, and his. wife went with him. Thoge reasons place the aureole cf saint- hood about his brow. . It is not amiss to correct another mis- take, in itself trivial, but serious in that it misrepresents entirely the social life of Mr. Douglass. It is the patagraph, widely copied, affirming that Mr. Douglass was living in a modest frame house with his wife and one servant. No public man like Mr. Douglass, and sustaining consequent social relations with so large a number of pecple, would elect to live in this restrict- ed manner. Mr. Douglass was a most gen- erous and hospitable host, as many, many can testify, and the past happy winter had, with fewer absences than usual, been spent in his own cheerful home, a sub- stantial brick house of twenty rooms, *fill- ed with friends, and made comfortable by the attentions of three servants. HELEN DOUGLASS. ———-.—_ Welconred Their Pastor. The Sunday school room of Foundry M. E. Church, correr 14th and G streets, pre- sented a festive appearance last night. Standing lamps and growing plants took the place of benches and chairs.

The intimation given in this column last week that an advance in butter and a further decline in eggs would follow dur- ing the present .week “was fulfilled. Wed- nesday eggs had fallen to 12% cents a dozen, while butter today shows a general advance, averaging about a cent a pound, all grades considered. It is believed that butter will now steadily, but slowly, per- haps, advance, but while eggs have ad- vanced since Wednesday, and the cold, wet weather of the past few days may occa- sion a still further slight advance, it is not expected to prove more than a tem- porary one In butter, although the market has been weak and uncertain, there is every indication of a material and early improvement. As explained last week, prices in butter have not been so low at this season since 1880. The explanation for such a condition in the market is-that the farmers, unwilling to dispose of their grain at the prices which have prevailed, have fed their accumulated grain to their cows, and in that way increased the yield and quality of butter to an extent never before known. It is, of course, but natural to conclude, however, that the fall in but- fer will cause producers to cut the cost feeding less grain. In that way, it is be- lieved, the supply will be somewhat less- ened, and that, in turn, will affect in a measure the expected advance. a one expects any further decline, sett one believes in a gradual, if not (early, ad vance in prices.

A Pleasant Social Event at the Capital Bicycle Club House. One of the notable features connected with the existence of the Capital Bicycle Club has been the social atmosphere with which the members have surrounded them- selves, cultivated by the friendly “at homes” which the club gives from time to time. These affairs are made the occasion of a general gathering of the clubmen and the ladies of their families or of their ac- quaintance, meeting in a delightfully in- formal way under the hospitable roof-tree of the club. Last night was the occasion of an “at home” which was no exception to’ similar affairs in the past, and added another tally to the score of the clubmen as hosts and entertainers. From the crowd in attendance it was ap- parent that the invitations had met with an acceptance almost unanimous, and the parlors were taxed almost to their full ca- pacity. The always attractive interior of the new club house, 409 15th street, took on an additional air of brightness for the occasion, which was enhanced by appro- priate decorations and the tasteful arrange- ment of palmg ana potted plants. A portion of the guests found seats in the front par- lor around a platform made for the occa- sion, and the remainder took possession of the rear rooms, which were thrown open to make a suite. A program of music, song and recitation was extended through the evening with in- termissions, which were also pleasantly occupied. Miss Evelyn Hilliard, who en- joys the reputation of being an elocution- ist of considerable merit, demonstrated the fact by a number of recitations. Professor Mayo executed several piatio solos in a manner that called for encores, and Mr. Perry B. Turpin sustained his reputation as a tenor soloist to the satisfaction of the audience. The intermissions were utilized in visits to the supper rcom, where Liens ments were served. Miss Edith - bush and Miss May Biaire presided over the coffee urn, which was in sharp com- petition with two punch bowls under the management of Miss Ruth Helen Bolway and Miss Gertrude Harrison, Miss Minnie Saxton and Nina Bartlett. Among those present were Mr. C. G. Al- Jen, ake Graves, Miss Hills, Mr. and Mrs. Barnard, Stowell, Mr. Wuitare Ford, Dr. W. D. Reda Mr. Charies E. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. A. G.

The members of the Business Woman's Club were pleasantly entertained at the last meeting of the Travel Circle, and a trip to Egypt and up the Nile as far as the first cataract was taken under the guidance of Miss Harriet R. Doolittle. The interest of the travelers was heightened by the ex- hibition of numerous pictures of the an- cient country, and the descriptions of Decolittle’s personal experiences were much enjoyed. The club is now arranging a most unique entertainment, which is a mart—an exhibit of women’s handiwork of all countries. Only the finest and best will be exhibited, and the histories of the pieces and indus- tries represented will be told by guides chosen from,the witty members of the club, and a merry time is anticipated. ——._—_ Veteran Women Journalists. ‘The Women’s National Press Association met at Willard’s last night.
