The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Hale Jacques, daughter of the late Senator Jno.P. Hale, and-wife of Capt. William H. Jacques of the navy, took place yesterday from the Hale homestead at Dover, N. H. Mrs. Jacques lived for many years in Washing- ton, and during the time her father was in the Senate, with her mother and sister, now the wife of Senator William E. Chand- ler, was prominent and popular in society. Her malady was acute inflammatory rheu- matism. Her death was sudden and a great shock to her family and friends. aS Assembly Presbyterian Church. At a meeting of the congregatiog of the Assembly Presbyterian Church last even- ing A. L. Sturtevant presided and Mr. Geo. Francis Williams was secretary. Messrs. J. M. Foster, J. E. N. Ingalls and S. A. Fitch were elected members of the board of trustees to fill vacancies. It was found necessary to reduce the current expenses and a cut was recommended in the aruount paid for music. A resolution was adopted recommending that if possible the services of the precentor, Warren S. Young, should be continued. ——————— The Warrants Refused. Yesterday afternoon Attorney Thomas, Mr. Pugh, his assistant, and representa- tives of the Anti-Saloon League met and disscussed the matter of instituting prose- cutions against the persons who sell liquor for a short time after the rejection of their applications for licenses. Secretary Will- fams of the excise board was also present, and ke explained that these saloonkeepers were doing only what they had been au- thorized to do by the board. Mr. Thomas soon reached the conclusion that Mr. Pugh had done right in refusing warrants in the cases, and found that the saloonkeepers were complying with the law. a ‘ Not Known Here. Detective Lacey has been busy for several days endeavoring to ascertain something of the identity of Mamie Martin, the col- cred woman who was murdered in New York a few days ago. Representatives of a New York paper have also been investi- gating the matter, but without success. In New York some one started a rumor to the effect that the murdered woman was Janie Churebill and not Mamie Martin. Janie Churchill's mother, Mrs. Johnson, lives on 25th street, and Janie, the officers iearned, fived in New York. She was communi- night she sent her cated with and last mother a telegram, saying she was there, well and all right.

The meeting of the Citizens’ Association of Anacostia which was held last night in Haines’ Hall was in many respects the most important that has ever taken place since President H. A. Linger accepted the Chairmanship of the organization. Mr. Linger presided and Mr. H. F. L. Allen was secretary. : The features of the evening were the re- ports of Rev. J. B. North, chairman of the committee on street Hghting, and Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, chairman of the com- mittee on police. The latter was an ex- haustive and carefully prepared written statement, showing the urgent need for more police protection, and contained sev- eral recommendations, all of which will be laid before the District Commissioners,who will be earnestly requested to give the re- lief asked for. In the course of his address, Mr. Steven- son said: “There are now connected with wkat is called the Anacostia substation rine mounted men and three footmen, ex- clusive of those on ‘duty at the station, but all of these mounted and footmen are not on duty at all times. These officers have to partol a territory comprising about eightesn square miles, in which there is Property valued, according to the last re- turns made by the assessors, at from $15,- 000,000 to $18,000,000, and it contains a popu- lation of fully 10,000 persons. “No one will assert that so large a terri- tory can be properly patrolled by so small a force of men, and justice has not been done by the authorities at Washington to the people living on this side of the Eastern branch of the Potomac river. The force should be so increased that perpetrators of crime would be apprehended as soon as their acts of law breaking were discovered, and we would not then be fearful of the fair fame of Anacostia on account of crime committed beyond her boundaries. “It Is the duty,” said he, continuing, “of the District Commissioners to send at least twelve additional policemen to the Ana- costia station, so that the territory under Sergeai erby’s charge can have the propet supervision; to provide a better sta- ‘Us where the men can have the comforts they deserve land prisoners be given the opportunity to observe the laws of decency, which they Aannct always now do, and there should be protection from damage by fire. The District Commissioners should at once remedy as much ot the existing trouble as lies in their power, and cither lease or erect a building suitable for police and fire department purpcses.” The report was unanimously adopted. ~ More Lights Needed. Rev. J. B. North, chairman of the com- mittee on street lighting, also made a most interesting report, reciting the efforts he had made to have street lamps placed on Minnesota avenue, which, however, he has been vnable up to this time to secure, and Le created a sensation when he sald: “I have known young girls to be knocked down and ladies followed by negro men on Minnesota avenue, and there have been instances when a terrible crime has been Narrowly averted on that street, and the attempt at violence was entirely owing to the absence of proper lights at night. I believe that the excuse given by the Dis- trict Commissioners in their reply to my last communication that there was no money at their disposal under which they could furnish the lamps we desire, was a Lege and I propose to press the matter egal Mr. North’s report was also accepted, and he and Mr. Stevenson were requested to go before the District Commissioners and state the facts in their knowledge. Mr. George H. Gray, from the committee on streets, roads and sewers, also made a very interesting report as to visits made by him and his colleagues, Messrs. W. Mar- den King and J. W. Bartley, to the Bistrict Commissioners, and the assurance of Com- missioner Ross that he would aid them by all the means in his power to get the street crossings and other improvements asked for by the committee. Mail Facilities. Mr. R. B. Buckley called attention to the fact that an effort was being made to se- cure improved mail facilities in Anacostia, and made an earnest speech on the sub- ject, in which he showed that Anacostia, although far greater in population than all of the other suburban towns around Washington, had less mail service than any. Rev. Mr. North made an address, in which he used (by request) a statement which Second Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Neilson had yesterday afternoon au- thorized to be made at the meeting that the citizens of Anacostia can depend upon tet- ter service in the immediate future; that a collection from the letter box at the corner of Harrison and Monroe streets will be or- dered at 9 p.m. at an early day, to com- mence probably next week, and that the other improvements for which petitions are on file in the Post Office Department will he sett on speedily and favorably, if pos- sible. Remarks on the subject were also made by President Linger, Messrs. George H. Gray, Carroll W. Smith, Rev. W. Porter Snell and others, and » committee com- posed of Messrs. R. B. Buckley, Julius W. olson and George F. Pyles was appointed to urge the post office authorities to grant the people of Anacostia all the improve- ments in their mail service possible. More Cars. Mr. Buckley said he hoped that the com- mittee on railroads and street cars will ask President Griswold of the Washington and Anacostia line to give the patrons of the road more cars, so that there will be more frequent communication in this way with Washington, and Chairman Bryan said he would do so. Messrs. R. B. Buckley, D. E. Haines and G. W. Fisher were elected additional mem- bers of the executive committee. —_———_—_ NO STRIFE THIS YEAR. Women’s Share in Memorial Exercises at Arlington. The Department of the Potomac, W. R. C., has almost completed its arrangements for the observance of Memorial day. There has been a great deal of enthusiasm among the corps of the department, and every- thing {s working harmoniously. The de- partment oflicers decided quite early in their work that’ this year there should be ro unseemly strife about the decoration of the graves of the loyal dead, and all patriotic orders are to be represented alike, and nobody given the preference. It has been the custom, heretofore, for the De- partment W. R. C. to give a lunch at Ar- lington on Memorial day, but the new president, Mrs. Anna Hamilton, with the full consent of her staff of efficient officers, has promulgated orders against such pro- ceedings this year. It made the day one of hard work for the women, and gave a festive air to the occasion, little in conso- ranee with the sacredness with which it should be observed. Ore of the charming features of the day will be the singing, which will be done by young girls this year. There is to be a chorus of one hundred voices, the young ladies to be as near the age of sixteen as possible, and they will be simply costumed alike. They are now being drilled in Me- morial day songs by Prof. H. H. Howard. These young ladies will decorate the tomb of the unknown dead, hich will have about it no garish display, but stand in all its solemn simplicity, with the flowers they will scatter sending up incense of love. ee Rare and Benutiful Antiques at Public Auction.

Grand Opera House.—Mr. Richard Mans- field commences a week's engagement at the Grand Opera House Monday evening. The earnestness and artistic care which govern all Mr. Mansfield’s work and find expression in his prcductions have won for him an esteem which makes the pub- lic expectant of excellent results in all his undertakings. Mansfield is restless and untiring. There are a half dozen characters in his repertoire, any one of which he might have played ccrstantly for an uft- Umited period with satisfactory pecuniary results, but no sooner wins success in one part than he puts it aside for a new one; he is constantly cre- ating; he never copies,.and when he takes up a character, which predeces- sors have presented, he defies tradition and travels far from the beaten track. In his present engagement Mr. Mansfield promises his many admirers in this city a rare treat, as he has decided to change his .bill six times out of the seven performances, and he will be seen only in characters he him- self has given to the stage, and which are played by no other actcr. Mr. Mansfield also announces that tris is his final ap- Pearance in Washington, as he has _se- cured the Garrick Theater in New York city, where he intends to remain indefi- ritely. The program for Mr. Mansfield’s appearance is as follows: Monday, “The Scarlet Lette: Tuesday, “The Arms and the Man;” Wednesday, “A Parisian Ro- mance;” Thursday evening and Saturday matinee, “Prince Karl; Friday evening, “Beau Brummell,” and Saturday evening, “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Mr. Mans- field’s company still includes the vivacious and comely Beatrice Cameron, D. H. Har- kins, Herry Jewett, W._N. Griffith, A. G. Andrews, J. V. Serrano, F. F. Smiles, J. W. Weavel, Thomas Graham, Cecil Butler, Ad- dison Pitt, and Miss Julia Brutone, Miss Katherine Gray, Miss Helen Glidden, Miss Ethel Chase Sprague, Miss Nora Lamison, Miss Rolanda Brainbridge, Misses Angela and Winifred McCall and Dot Clarenton. New Naticnal Theater.—Mr. Roland Reed, ® comedian who is quite popular in this city, will ke seen at the New National Theater next week, presenting for the first time in this city the comedy, “The Poli- tician or the Woman’s Plank.”’ Academy of Music.—The attraction at the Academy of Music next wéek estas Paul Dresser, the heavy-weight coms 5 in “A Green Gcods Man.’ Miss Anna Eva Fay.—Tomorrow, Sunday, evening, Miss Anna Eva Fay will appear at the Academy of Music. She will give a scientific seance on spiritualism and the- osophy, showing: some new and startling phenomena of occult science, which have never before been presented in this city. Miss Fay is one of the best of those who are before the public in this line, and her seance Sg day night promises to be well patronized, both by believers and unbe- Nevers. She has visited Washington many times, and has always been well received. She is certainly wonderfully clever, and holds the attention of her audience during ail her experiments. Butler’s Bijou Theater._For one week, commencing Monday, April 8, the attrac- tion at the Bijou Theater will be one of unusual strength, being the clever little artist, Florence Bindley, supported by an excellent cast in her realistic comedy drama, “The: Pay Train.” The play in itself is of great interest, yet the com- pany carries an entire carload of scenic and mechanical effects, a complete storage battery, a steam boiler and a forty horse power engine, all of which will be used in the production here. The third act shows a train of cars crossing the stage at full speed, and is uncoupled in view of the audience, which is a feat original with and done by this company only. Incidental to the play Miss Bindley will introduce her famous speciaities, and will also sing her pretty little waltz song, “Little Mary Ann.” Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The City Sports’ Big Show will be the attraction at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week. This organization, it is claimed, fs always up to date in presenting new and novel fea- tures. The curtain rises on the comedy burletta, entitled, “Love vs. Mischief,” which will serve to introduce the entire company. A mammoth olio follows, which includes the four Nelson Sisters, the mar- velous female acrobats, whose aggregate weight is 620 pounds, and who perform the most difficult acrobatic feats with astonish- ing ease; Jack and Rosa Burke, in a novel specialty, in which they introduce a scien- tific glove contest; Snyder and Buckley, the premiers of musical comedy; Flynn ond Zittela, in comedy flashes and funny say- ings; Wren and Daly, in their original paro- dies; the Sheridans, in a little bit of every- thing, and Prof. Romeo's Challenge Ballet. The performance concludes with the ex- travagant burlesque, “A Hot Night,” which is replete with catchy music, lively dances, clever comedians and pretty giris. Justice Morris’ Lecture.—Mr. M. F. Mor- ris, LL. D., judge of the Court of Claims and law professor in Georgetown Univer- sity, will lecture at Georgetown College Tuesday evening on “The Rise and Fall of Mohammedanism.” Justice Morris’ well- known ability as a lecturer, coupled with the fact of his being a profound student of history, will undoubtedly be the means of attracting a large crowd to Gaston Hall to hear him discourse on this subject, which has occupied his especial attention during many years. An Evening in Iceland.—The attendance at the Evening in Iceland last evening was the greatest of any night during the week. The affair is to close tonight after three weeks of a most successful nature, and withal some of the hardest work the Light Infantry boys have ever undertaken. The Saengerbund, the Patriarchs Militant, the Columbia Athletic Club and the Veteran Firemen were the invited guests of the W. L. I. C.,and all succeeded in enjoying them- selves to the full extent of the place. The Veteran Firemen particularly made a fine showing, marching into the hall preceded by a full drum corps. All who are inter- ested in the entertainment are much grat- ified over the success of the affair. The Carter Comedy Company.—The Car- ter Comedy Company gave an entertain- ment at Odd Fellows’ Hall, near the navy yard, last evening, which was very well attended. The company rendered the three- act play “Pro Tem” and proved very ac- ceptable in its rendition of the little com- edy. Between the acts Paul Carr gave some vocal selections, which were very well ap- preciated, and after the entertainment dancing was indulged in until a late hour. Those in the cast were A. D. Clements, C. H. Percy, A. Hancock, W. T. Kirby, Paul Carr, Miss Ella Moulton, Miss W. May Kil- gore, Miss Eva Wells and Miss Louretta Moulton. A Rainbow Tea.—Next Wednesday even- ing the ladies of Calvary Baptist Church have arranged for a pleasant entertainment for the benefit of the new organ fund. The affair will be known as a rainbow tea and will be exceedingly. novel. There will be seven tabies arranged in the shape of an open fan, each one to be covered to |. represent one color of the rainbow, so that in appearance it will be a veritable rain- bow. On these tables will be articles of all Kinds to sell or dainty refreshments to serve. The tables are to be spread on the main floor of the new Sunday school house, corner of Sth and H streets, and as they will be seen from the balconies of this room, surrounded by a large number of we sessesseeiessetiodaondoniorioceseesensensetretoe ee eeseetneSoafoe Scrofula In the Neck “My little Robert had scrofula in his neck and head anda bunch on his nerk. ‘The doc- tor’s treatment did not do any good, and our druggist, Mr. Charles Hall, told us to give him Hood's Sarsaparilla.

During the past wcek prices in the local wholesale produce market have shown but little change, and the quotations today are about as they were this day a week ago. The firmness and upward tendency noted in meats, especially in beef, a week ago is still observable, and advanced prices are expected to continue for some time at least. The market almost throughout shows a healthy tone, there being a good demand, which is met with a sufficient supply. With the coming of the strictly spring pro- ducts comes the belief that the season will Prove quite an advance over that of last year in the matter of business, and there is a general hopefulness, if not a firm be- lief, that the market this spring will be found to be one of the best for some years. In butter the market is very firm, and with no indications of weakening. While no material change one way or the other is Icoked for at the present time, it is be- leved that if there is a change it will be an advance. The present season is what is ore known as between hay and grass, and as hay is being mostly fed, fancy grades may be expected to continue until the grass season high, but irregular:and faulty ve quality. The strictly perfect grades, herefore, are not plentiful. The low grades have but little call. Smail receipts as new stock are observed, but the quality is Irregular, and the old stock attracts but Uttle attention. Imitations are plentiful, but they are also poor in quality. Prices in about all grades remain at about what they were a week ago, Elgin creamery’and other western extras, 22 cents a pound; fee 21; seconds, 18 to 20, and imitations, 1b. ‘ancy creamery print, 25; dairy print, 18 to 20, and Maryland and Virginia print, 16 to 18. Bakers’ choice stock, 12%. West- ern dairy, best, 12 to 18; fair to good, 9 to 11; choice Maryland and Virginia, dairy packed, 14 to 15, and good to prime, 11 to 12, Cheese holds firm, and new stock is coming in in scattering lots, irregular in quality. New York state full cream, large, 12% cents a pound, and flats and ponys, 13. While eggs advanced during the week at one time to 13 cents a dozen, they soon dropped to 12 1-2 and 12, and the market today is about frem 12 to 12 1-2, with but slight Indications of an advance. These figures are for nearby and western fresh, southern fresh being worth half a cent less. Although receipts have not been large, the market has been a firm one, and while the Easter demand will be large, an ample supply will be on hand, so that no material advance ts looked for. The receipts of poultry have been large, although prices experienced little, if any, marked change. For spring chickens, 25 to 30 cents a pound are asked. Drawn turkeys, 13 to 14, and choice undrawn, 14 to 15. Live, 11 to 13. Dressed chickens, 11 to 14; live winter chicks, 12 to 14; capons, 13 to 19; dressed old fowls, 9 to 12, and live, 6 to 10.

Sweets, $1.25 to $2.75 a barrel. Cu- cumbers, $1.75 to $2 a‘ dozen. Kale, 50 cents to $1 a barrel. Asparagus, $1 to $7 a dozen. Lettuce, $3 to $3.50 a barrel. To- matoes, $3.50 to $5 a crate...

In live and dressed stock there is a firm and good market,-prices having an upward tendency. Live cattle, 3 to8 cents a pound; sheep, 4 to 43-4; lambs, 4 to 5-1-2; and spring lambs, 6 to $ 1-2. ‘Cows, with calves, $25 to $50, and calves, #to 7.

Under the same ownership and management the Pro- file House, White Mountains, has attained the same enviable reputation, and its pa- tronage is of the highest order. With its magnificent surroundings of grand moun- tain scenery, and delightful walks and drives, it combines such modern conveni- ences and improveme ts as to make it a favorite resort of all who visit the “Switz- erland of America.” $1.25 To Baltimore and Return. $1.25 The Pennsylvania railroad will sell Sat- urday, April 6, and Sunday, the 7th, good returning until Monday, the 8th, excursion tickets to Baltimore at rate of $1.25. ~ —_——_— Planked shad at Marshall Hall Sunday.
