A petition for divorce from bed and board and for maintenance has been filed by Catherine against James Fitzpatrick, both elderly people. Mrs. Fitzpatrick states that they were marrie] here October 21, 1856, and lived together until the 18th instant, when, she charges, she was compelled to leave him because of ill-treatment. She claims that her husband is possessed of con- siderabie property, and asks that she be allowed a share of it, stating that she as- sisted him in securing much of it. The de- fendant has been restrained from annoying his wife. —_._ Lecture on Minerals. Prof. Geo. P.

Brewer of Mount Pleasint against the District, in which damages of $10,000 were asked be- cause of injuries received about two years ago by slipping on the snew and ice on Brown street, Mount Pleasant, the jury late yesterday afternoon returned a verdict in favor of Mr. brewer for $2,000. The sidewalk was in a dansyerous condition, and the Disirict claimed that Mr. brewer should have avycided it by walking out in the road. Chief Justice Kingham, however, instructed the jury that such a ccntention was not sanctioned by law, the District being under obligation to keep sidewalks in a safe con- dition, and the plaintiff being required to ise only ordinary care. The District Loted an appeal tu the Court of Appeals.

The National Geographic Society's ex- cursion pulled out promptly at 4:15 yester- day on the trip to Chicago, Prof. Orton acting as conductor of the first section and Mr. Henry W. Gannett as conductor of the | second. There were between 300 and 400 excursionists aboard, and, as the com- partments were close and hot and much of the time the travelers had the impres- sion of traveling under ground through the tunnels common on railroads leading through the Alleghenies, the pleasure of the occasion was not wholly unmixed. Prof. Orton is an elderly gentleman, most entertaining in his manner and matter. He is state geologist of Ohio, and his de- scription of the journey across the state Was a rare and delightful treat. Possessed of a rich, well-modulated voice and a pleas- ing style, he made his account of the geo- logical and industrial features of the trip peculiarly interesting. The method of shooting oil wells and all the geological conditions to which we are indebted for the bountiful supply of the product were carefully described. Mr. Walter H. Weed, who was to have conducted the party from Chicago to the Yellowstone Park, was prevented by sick- ness from being present, and Mr. Henry Gannett acted as his substitute, with a graphic description of the journey thither and the wonderful natural beauties of the park. Foth lectures were well illustrated with lantern projections. Those relatiag to the oil regions were perhaps monotonous in their broad, level expanses of prairie, but all this was amply made up for in the scenes shown from the Bad Lands and the peaks of ihe Rocky mountains. Mr. Gan- nett related one curious thing about the park which is not generally known. Its northern boundary is along a parallel of latitude running through the mouth of Gardiner river, which is a variable stream, so that the northern boundary may be anywhere within 200 to 300 feet of a fixed point. The eastern boundary is along a line north and south, distant fifteen miles from the eastern edge of Yellowstone lake. As the edge of the lake varies a mile be- tween high and low water, the eastern boundary may some day be seriously dis- puted. The western boundary is ten miles from Madison lake, once the supposed source of Madison river. It was found this lake was really the head of Shoshone lake, and the name was changed accordingly, | ing, and it may be gravely urged that the park has no western boundary whatever. The southern boundary was placed at a certain distance from a lake that has dried up and disappeared. The lecture gave a pleasing view of all the beauties and wonders of the park—geysers, hot springs, peaks, can- yons and petrified trees. The next lecture of the course will be given Monday, and will take the party from the Yellowstone to Portland, through the northern Rockies and down the Columbia. This will be described by Mr. E. I. Perkins, ir., and a side trip to Sacramento will be described by Prof. J. S. Diller, including a visit to Mount Shasta and Crater lake. Se The German American Club. Der Deutsch-Amerikanische Club held its regular monthly meeting at the “Auburn” last Tuesday evening. The program was more than usually interesting. Miss Ellen Vockey opened the prcgram with a piano solo, overture to “Norma; Miss Bertie Thompson cang ‘Rest, My Little One,” ac- comparied by Miss Katie Wilson; Mr. Wm. H. Conley read “Die Geduldprobe,” Mr. Al- fred Wrigkt played two banjo solos, Miss Pillsbury sang “A Dzy Dream,” Mr. Con- ley and Miss Bertha Gibson gave a mu- sical dialogue in costume, entitled ‘“Ru- dciph and Gretchen;” Miss Vockey recited “Damon and Pythias,” Mr. Conley sang two col songs, and Miss Abbie Johrsor, by special request, gave “Natural Laughter.” The program E little comedy, “Die Ballschuhe,”” which was well acted by Miss Xarifa Hancock and Miss Flora Gibson. Among those presont were Mr. and Mrs. Duckett, Mr. and Mrs. J. Henry Kaiser, Dr. and Mrs. V. Hartleben, Mr. and Mrs. Hofiliger, Mr. and Mrs. Colman, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Warden, Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

Selections from the works of Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Gottschalk and other great writers were given in a manner that dis- played the possession of not only remark- able technique, but an intellectual grasp of the true spirit of the composers’ mean- ing. Perhaps the most enjoyable number for the classicists was Beethoven's Sonata No. 1, which was played entire in the most artistic and finished style. Mr. Southard is a peculiarly happy interpreter of Chopin, fully catching and conveying the poetic spirit of ‘hat author in his nocturnes and bringing out the virility and fire in his polonaises. The recital, which was enjoyed by quite a number of musical people, was interspersed with several pleasing tenor solos by Mr. Wm. Bean —__—» The Alaskan Boundary. The Alaskan boundary was the subject on which three papers were read last even- ing before the Naticnal Geographic Society by J. E. McGrath, J. F. Pratt and H. P. Ritter cf the coast and geodetic survey. ‘The speakers were employed in the prac- tical work of survey during last summer, The talks were amply illustrated by satis- factory photographs. Mr. McGrath, who had charge of the survey work in the Mount St. Elias district, stated that this peak was found to be en the British side. Mount Logan was found to be a_hieher peak than Mount St. Elias. Mr. J. F. Pratt bad charge of the work in the district of the Chilkat and Crilkoot, the miners’ road to the gold region of the Yukon. H. P. Ritter told of his work in the region of the Lynn canal. Mary Washington Chapter. The Mary Washington Chapter, Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, held a pleasant social meeting Tuesday evening at their rooms, 1710 I street, many distin- guished members of others chapters being in attendance. The hall was decorated with the national celors, and the chapter, Jed by M Edna Dee, sang patriotic airs. ‘the following program was pleasingly ren- dered: Piaao solo, Miss Ellen Bell; poem, y Otis Winston; violin solo, Mr. historical paper, entitled “A ” Miss Ida Beall; vocal solo, Yeatman. The program’ was con- cluded by some impromptu remarks from XM janet Kichards in regard to Marquis Lafayette’s connection with the war ef the American revolution. —>____ Majestic Steel Ranges.

Three Senators Rom — » Baltimore and Return & Erlanger’s “Country Circus” will be at the Grand Opera House next week. No doubt the ladies and children will predominate. The “Country Circus’ this year is larger and better than ever. A European novelty has just been engaged; it is called ‘‘Lu- ciano Tatali,” the flying serpent. This man, small of stature and very thin, has created a sensation in New York and Chi- cago, .the only two cities that have yet witnessed his performance. It is said to be an act that is hardly describable, but can be, in a measure, explained as a con- tortion act while flying through the air. But the attraction par excellence of the “Country Circus’ is the great Beni Zong Zong, a celebrated troupe of royal Moorish athletes, including Mahomet, the whirling dervish of the Soudan, in feats of balanc- tumbling, gun exercises and living pyramids. Next in order comes Miss Rose Lee, the empress of the arena, who is as much at home on the back of a horse as most people are on terra firma. La Belle Tina, a very beautiful young woman, in a potpourri of remarkable gymnastics—these with the ponies, from little Weewee to Muldoon, the Wrestler, and the dogs and other animals, go to make the ‘Country Circus” one of the greatest and best en- tertainments that will be seen this season. Butler’s Bijou Theater.—‘‘The Fast Mail” will be produced at the Bijou next week. As its name indicates, it deals largely with the railroad in its incidents, but it pre- sents an abundance of effects that are daring in their magnitude and admirable in their execution. The Niagara ‘Falls scene is wonderfully beautiful, and it may safely be said is more elaborate than any- thing of the kind ever before attempted in this city. There are a multitude of minor effects that contribute to make the performance a revelation of realism. The play is under the personal direction of L. J. Carter, the author. The cast is said to be a capable one. Kernan’s' Lyceum Theater. — Manager Kernan's attraction for next week will be John F. Fields’ Drawing Cards, including Fields and Hanson, musical comedians; Mays and Hunter, the famous banjo- ists; Johnnie Carroll, America’s representa- tive comic singer; Charley Case, the up-to- date monologue artist; Edgar and Curran, Irish comedians, vocalists and dancers; Maude Beverle, the distinguished character vocalist; the Garrisons, the e esty artists; Williams and B: tric knock-about comedians; Mons. La. Fleur, the French marvel. As a special feature "Manager Fields has engaged Stan- ton Abbott, the champion light-weight pu- gilist of England, during this engagement. Abbott will meet all comers, and will for- feit $25 to any man in his class whom he fails to best in four rounds. Seidl’s Concert.—All recessary arrange- ments have been completed for the Seidl orchestra concert at Metzerott Music Hall, on March The subscriptions have been on the steady increase since the move- ment’s conception. The interest taken in the event has been fully demon- strated in the subscriptions that have been steadily pouring in, and already more than sufficient to cover the guarantee required has been subscribed. Tke program to be rendered will include four movements of Bach’s Divertimento, orchestrated by Mr. Seidl; Mozart's Sym- phony in G min four movements; Dvo- rak’s overture, “Nature,” first time in Washington, and Wagner will be repre- sented by the Good Friday Spell, from “Parsifal,” the Funeral March, from the “Gotterdammerung,” and the Vorspiel and Isolde’s death from ‘Tristan and Isolde.” A Trilby Entertainment.—A unique enter- tainment is to be given at Metzerott Music Hall Wednesday evening, March 27, at 8 o'clock. It will consist of a series of liv- ing pictures, accompanied by songs and music, from Du _ Maurier’s great work, “Trilby,” and will show that the ‘rilby fad has, as yet, only begun in this city. Reserved seats can be secured at Metze- rott’s music store for one week !n advance of the entertainment, the prices being $1.50 and $1. Two Views of Immortality.—The second lecture for the benefit of the House of the Good Shepherd will take place at Metze- rott Music Hall Monday evening, March at 8 o'clock. The subject is “The Two ‘ws of Immortality,” and is to be de- livered by Rev. John Prendergast, S. J. The speaker is one of unusual ability and the lecture one that will admit of many opportunities for excellent oratorical ef- fect. Tickets for the single lecture are $1 and may be obtained from any of the pa- tronessess or at Metzerott’s music store. Mrs. A. H. Luther will deliver her second lecture of the course of three at Masonic Temple Tuesday evening, March 26, at 8 o'clock. The subject of this lecture, ‘‘The Power Exercised by the Champions of the Roman Catholic Church Throughout the Past and the Present,” is one calculated to draw a very large audience. The third lecture is to be delivered Thursday even- ing, March 28, the subject being ‘The Ne- cessity for tke Organization Known as the Fh eed oe New Naticnal Theater.—Mr. E. H. Sothern will make his annual visit to Wasnington next week, appearing at the New National Theater in the following repertoire: Mon- day and Tuesday nights and Wednesday matinee, “A New Way to Win a Woman,” a new play, seen here for the first time; Wednesday night, “Lord Chumley;” Th day and Friday nights and Saturday mati- nee, “Capt. Lettarblair;” Saturday night, “The Highest Bidder.” eccen- Academy of Music.—Grand opera by the Tavary English Opera Company will be the xt attraction at the Academy of Music 1m week, the repertoire being as follow: Monday, “Il Trovatore;” Tuesday, * mei Wednesday matinee, ‘The Bohemian Girl,” evening, “Cavalleria Rusticana” and “T Pagliacci;’’ Thursday, “Faust;” Friday, “Tannhaeuser;” Saturday matinee, ‘‘Mar- tha,” and Saturday night, “William Tell.” Sacred Concert.—A sacred concert is to be given tomorrow evening at Society Tem- ple, 5th and G streets northwest, under the auspices of the Father Mathew Tctal Abstinence Society. Those who will take part are Miss Blanche Wood, soprano; Mr. Wm. F. Brosnan, Miss Lottie Belle Ray, Mr. Will Wylie, Prof. Poshe, Mr. Turpin and Mr. Will Butler, violinist. Besides those already named there will be many others whose names have not been an- nounced, but who have signified their in- tention of assisting at the concert, “Coronet and Coin."’—Interest is already centering in the-production of Hub Smith McLeod's new opera, ‘oronet. which is to be presented April at the Academy of Music. The music is all that it,claims to be, and the hook is well written’ and bright. Francisco de Trastamase, the principal character, is taken by Hub Smith, whose excellent work in the “Merry Monarch,” of Francis Wilson fame, will be remembered. Mr. Smith's catchy topical songs and ballads are well known, not only in this city, but through- cut the country, and his music is both bright and tuneful. David Bangs has the part of Pedro, which he will take care of in the best manner possible. Sanchez ts to be personated by Mr. Fox and Vincente by Herndon Morsell. George O’Connor, the well-known comedian, has a double role, King John and Democratus, and it is safe to say that he will infuse a great deal of his own spi into the two characters. Mills Thompson is to take the part of Mack Sack. Among the ladies in the cast are Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry, who will take the part of Beatriz; Miss Florence Gregg, Mantilla; Mrs. Gertrude Bangs-Burnes as Democrata, and Mrs. Flint as Eleanor and Diana. Mr. Perry Evans will take the part of a page. From present indications the performance will be unusually successful, and as the object in presenting it is a worthy one, it being for the aid of the Children’s Country Home, it will be well patronized. Miss Longfellow's Lecture.—Miss Long- fellow will deliver a lecture on Michael An- gelo, at the residence of Mrs. E. M. Ware, » Rhode Island avenue northwest, Mon- day, March at 1145 a.m. Miss Long- sting speaker, and no name in the annals of art aifords a bet- ter subject than the one which she has chosen for her theme. ing’ in lieu of her old-time favorite, “Marguerite,” Miss Lottie ins sang a brand-new song which hits off that fad of the day in de- lightful style. The words and music are by Mr. nder C. Jchnson of this city, and the song made such a flattering hit that it will remain as a part of Miss Col- lins’ repertoire of successes. Lecture on AthleticsThe second lec- ture of, the sert under the auspices of the Georgetown College Athletic sock, tion, will be given by Dr. Frank Baker, or of anatomy at Georgetown Medi- nool, on Tuesday night next. subject, which he will illustrate with iwenty-three stercopticon views, will be of Athletics From The subject will to entertainment d in a manner in jate it most fully. Stavenhagen-Gerardy.—Seme time ago 1 Standpoin be treated with a view s well as instruction, ich laymen can apy re Jean Gerardy. It is now announced that another concert will be given by these two great artists cn Friday evening, March and it is certain that the hall will be w filled. Rarely, indecd, is it that writers on musical subjects sv unanimously agree upon the merits of two great artists as they do on these possessed by Stavenhagen and Gerardy. Stavenhagen proved himself not alone en artist of the first rank, but one who authoritatively plays the pieces set down for him so that there is no cavil as to the interpretation. Of the boy, Jean Gerardy, enough*has been said to arouse the enthusiasm of any public. He is a lad of sixteen years of age, who has proved himself not alone to be a master of his very sympathetic instrument, the violon- cello, but he has shown that he has some- thing more in him than the ordinary vir- tuoso. To play as he does, with all the technical perfection of a veteran, and yet infuse so much feeling and sentiment, is something that no one can cay he has heard before. : ———— WHOLESALE PR@DUCE MARKET. Butter Advancing, Eggs Plentiful and Away Bown. With few exceptions; the local wholesale produce market, during the past week, wit- nessed, practically, ne change in prices. On the whole, the masket has been a firm, active one, a healthy demand throughout, and a responsive supply. Prospects for a good spring trade grow brighter, and a sea- son of splerdid results fer prod:cers and buyers is believed to be a certainty—a sca- son, in both respects; far in advance of that of a year ago. In butter the market has gradually grown stronger and firmer. Faney stock has, per- haps, more strongly advanced than other grades, but the lower grades exhibit a sym- pathy with this advance in the fancy and fine stock, and prices in thé lower grades are moving upward. There is a scarcity of fine goods, and it will, in all probability, continue for some time at least; hence, a good price for fine grades wili be asked and had, and a greater demand for the lower xrades will follow. For Elgin cream- ery and other western extras, from 21 to 22 cents a pound are asked today; firsts, 19 to 20; seconds, 16 to 17, ations, 15 to Fancy creamery’ print, dairy print, 18 to 20, and Maryland and Virginia print, 16 to 18. Western dairy, best, 12 to 13, and choice Maryland and Virginia dairy, pack- ed, 14 to 16, and geod to prime, 12 to 14. There is a firm market in che2ese—New York state full cream, large cents a pound, and flats and ponys, 13. Eggs today are lower than a week ago, the market being one of about 12 cents a dozen for nearby and western fresh. While the op2n weather and the prolific produc- tion of the hens will not unlikely send prices still lcwer, possibly to 11 cents, it is the opinion of good judges that a 1214 mar- ket will shcrtly be seen, at which mark prices will likely remain for some time. Yesterday prices ran from 11% to 12. Receipts in poultry during the past week have not been large. Hence, there has been no decline in prices, a good demand zeadily realizing present quotations. In fact, prices have remained about stationary. Drawn turkeys run from 13 to 15 cents a pound, and like prices for choice undrawn; live, 11 to 14. Dressed chickens, 11 to 15; live win- ter chicks, 13 to 15; capons, 14 to 18; dress- ed old fowls, 10 to 14,-and live, 6 to 1. Dressed ducks, 11 to 12, and live, 10 to 11. Dressed geese, 7 to 9, and live, 6 to 8 While ‘old Irish potatoes show a slight advance, other vegetables show little, if ary, real change. New Irish potatoes run from $4 to $7.50 a barrel, and old stcck, from 30 to 80 cents a bushel; sweets, from $1 to $2.50 a barrel Florida tomatoes, $2.50 to $3.50 a crate. Cabbages, $6 to $18 per hundred. Bermuda onions, $2 to 82.30 a crate; yellows, $2.50 to $3 a barrel. Turnips, 70 to 80 cents a barrel. Apples still remain high and scarce, from 32 to $6 a barrel. California cranges, $3 to $4 a box; Messina, $2 to $3, and Valencia, $4 to $4.50 a case. Lemons, $2.50 to % a box. ‘There has been practically no change of prices in live stock or in dressed stock. Live cattle, 1% to 4 1-4 cents a povnd sheep, 2 to 3; hogs, 5 to to % and others, 314 to 4%; calves, 214 to 2. Cows, $6 to $40 apiece. Dressed stock— ‘alves, 5 to 8; sheap, 4 to 5, and hogs, 2 to Country sugar-cured hams, 9 to 10. Flour, grain, hay and straw show no real chante in prices. Flour, $1.50 to $4.25 a ba rye, $3.50 to $4; New York buck- $2 per hundred weight; :orn meal ; Wheat, 57 to 59 cents a bush 3 oats, 36 to bran, $17.50. to $18 a ton; middlings—whit $16 to $17, and brown, $44 to $15. Tiniothy hay, $10 to $13 a ton; other grades, $8 to to $14." Rye straw, bundled, ) to $9; machine threshed, $5.50 to $6, wheat, $5 to $5.50. pense Reception to Rev. J. M. Slarrow. The auditorium of Twelfth Street M. E. Church presented a brilliant scene Thurs- day evening, when a reception was given to the Rev. . M. Slarrow and family by the congregation and friends of the church to express their satisfaction over his re- turn as their pastor for the current con- ference year. Mr. W. T. Jefferis delivered the acdress of welcome in a feeling strain, after which C. A. Williams followed in a few brief remarks on behalf of the S2 Lath school, and then tne pastor happily responded on behalf of his family and him- self. Miss Bertie Bobb then delivered the 2ddress of welcome on behalf of the F worth League, and, in concluding her re- marks, presented beautiful floral tributes to the pastor and his wife, those to Mrs. Slerrow being placed in ‘a magnificen' silver vase. The evening’s program was interspersed with selections from the cheir, the whole concluding with a gencral sccial. The prospects of “Twelfth Street” ire very promising for the near future. ees Gift of Books. Mrs. Sarah Hagner has presented to the Children’s Hospital the very valuable library, consisting of books, book-cases, et¢., belonging to her husband, the late Dr. Daniel R. Hagner.
