To the Editor of The Eventug Star: How much longer are we, the dwellers on 10th street northwest, to be subjected to the noise of eight horses, running up and dcwn, on an average of every five minutes between Boundary and O street, to their out-of-deor stable, corner of ilth and O streets? It is a nuisance, and should be stopped. It is an outrage on the property holders of this neighborhood." The Star should agitate this question until this wrong is righted. Vv. B. oo ‘The Golf Tournament. The tournament of the Washington Golf Club, which was to have been played off at the club's links near Rdsslyn, Thurs- day, ay ana Saturday of this:week, has been postponed until the last three days of next week. Two of the club's best play- May and Mr. George S. Fraser, rds have been used as the basis for the handicappIng in the tournament, are out of the city, but they will be here to take part in the games next week. The prospect of a tournament has had the ef- fect of crowding the links with. players, who have been out every day this week getting in trim for the contest, and from 10 o'clock in the morning until dark the ground p an animated and pictur- scene. Some interesting and well- contested games are looked for next week. —— Planked shad dinners every week day Mar: 1 ball, teamer Macalester leaves at 10 a.m.—Ad¢ dv >.

Pastor—Other Local Notes. A large dealer in canal coal here said this morning in speaking of the apparent de- pression in the trade: “Coal has been pushed to Georgetown this season too rapidly. It can’t be gotten rid of quickly enough owing to the scarcity of vessels to carry it off, and as the wharves are piled high with it it has been kept in the boats. This, in consequence, has drawn sixty or seventy crafts from the canal fleet.” One firm here, it is reported, has forty laden beats lying about its wharves. No substantial “pick up” in the trade is expected until the ice boats begin to come in, about the middle of May. Vessels won't come to Georgetown for a single cargo—that is, they won't enter the port ght. Cargoes are usually taken from Georgetown only by vessels that have come in and discharged their loads. ‘Too much valuable time would be taken up otherwise. Then, too, there is not the great demand for coal to be supplied through the George- town port as formerly. Dealers say the railroads have so cut rates that most of the northern cities can now get their coal cheaper from the mines by rail than by way of the canal. ‘The lull in canal traffic, though, at-pres- ent is due principally to the great quantity with which the town has been flooded. The trade during the first weeks of the eanal’s opening was unprecedentedly large, causing the later stagnation. Burned to Death. Nellie Stait, the nine-year-old daughter of Mr. John Stait, a farmer near Hancock on the canal, was burned to death yester- day in the field about her home. She had carried some matches to her father to light his pipe and had retained one. One her way buck to the house she camc upon some dry shrubbery, which she ignited. The fire spread rapidly, and for fear it would reach the house she began to tread upon it for the purpose of extinguishing it. The flames caught her dress, and in a few min- utes completely enveloped her, Death re- sulted from the injuries received. Congress Street Church. The Rev. Walter R. Graham, pastor of the Congress Street M. P. Church, will spend tomorrow in Elizabeth City, N. J., where he will dedicate a new house of worship. Mr. Graham's pulpit here will be filled by Rev.Agustus Davidson of the M. E. Church Scuth, who will speak at both the morning and evening services. Night before last the congregation held a recep- tion in honor of Rev. Mr. Graham's return to the Congress Street Church for the fifth year. Notén. At the Baptist Church tomorrow Rev. Mr. Truett, a former pastor, will speak upon mission work among the Indians, in the south and in Cuba. Tomorrow, also, Prof. A. P. Montague of Columbian Uni- versity will address the congregation. The Rev. Dr. Stitt spent a short time in the open air yesterday, after a serious, con- fining spell. Mr. Wm. H. Collins’ condition is far from encouraging, . At Peck Chapel last night there was a competitive drill, participated in by mem- bers of the Boys’ Brigade. Edward Kett- ner of the seniors and Fred Myers of the juniors were found to be the most proficient, and gold medals were awarded them. The occasion was taken advantage of by Rev. Alvin Smith to present two other medals of gold to Edw. Hanake and Sylvester Schoen- thal for general excellence in Peck Chapel work and for attendance, respectively. Anthony Lansing of Tenleytown raised “Cain” in his village last night. He tried to create a conditicn of things verging on anarchy. His lawlessness was nipped in the bud, however, and he slept for his pains in the seventh precinct station. cist WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET. A Well Supplied Market — Generally Stationary Prices. The market during the week closing to- day has been a firm, active one, and one full of encouragement to both sellers and buyers. A steady, healthy demand existed throughout, and the supply, while suffi- cient, at no time during the week drugged the market. Prices, on the whole, remain- ed about stationary, and are today, except in several instances, as they were quoted a week ago today. Beef still remains high, with no indication of any immediate or ma- terial change in figures, and other meats are sympathetically affected. The demand, however, shows no really material falling off for beef, althcugh dealers complain that the high prices have reduced profits. The market is now well supplied with the early vegetables, and a gradual decline in prices may now be expected. Potatoes still re- main somewhat advanced. In butter the market is a very firm one, with a lack of fine goods, the demand for them greatly exceeding the supply. For best goods there is a quick, ready sale. The movement in the lower grades re- tains slow and uncertain. Prices are ex- pected to remain as they are now until new gress stock comes in, when there will not unlikely be a decline in prices. Today, for fancy Elgin creamery and other western extras, 22 cents a pound are asked; first, 21; seconds, 18 to 20, and imitations, 1 Fency creamery print, 25; dairy print, 18 te 20, and Maryland and Virginia print, 16 to 18. Western dairy, best, 12 to 14, and good, 10 to 12. Maryland and Virginia dairy, choice, 14 to 16, and good to prime, 11 to Bakers’ stock, 124%. Prices in chees2 show no change—New York large creams, 12%; cents a pond, and flats and penys, 13. Despite the general belief that following the Easter demand there would be witness- ed a décline in eggs, the market has not only been quite a firm one during the pres- ent week, but prices have also advanced. Today, from 1312 to 14 cents a dozen are asked for western and nearby fresh goods, 4 cent less for southern fresh. No decline is locked for, but rather a slight advance, although the market will likely semain as about pow for some time. The receipts in poultry have been light, a'though an active demand has prevailed. Prices, however, are about as they were a week ago. Drawn turkeys, 12 to 14 cents a pound; undrawn, 12 to 16; live, 10 to 1: drawn chickens, 10 to 14; undrawn, 10 to live winter chickens, 14 to 16, and spring dressed old fowls, 10 to 12, and live, 6 to 10; capons, 14 to 20; dress- ed ducks, 10 to 14, and live, 8 to 12; dressed geese, § to 10, and live, 7 to Vegetables remain as about quoted last week, there being a good, increasing sup- ply, with an active demand. Cucumbers, 3 to $2 a dozen; kale, 20 to 35 cents a barrel; new peas, $4 to $+ per half barrel bex; Florida beans, $2.50 to $3.50 a box; ragus, $2 to $5.50 a dozen; lettuce, $1 to $2 a barrel; new Irish potatoes, $4 to $9 a barrel; old stock, 30 to 90 cents a bushel; sweets, $1.25 to $2.75 a barrel; Florida tomatoes, $3 to $5 a crate; cabbage, $6 to $18 per hundred; turnips, 60 to 75 cents a barrel; appl $2 to % a barrel; California oranges, $3.50 to $4; Messina, $3 to $3.50 a box, and Valencia, $4 to $4.50 a case: strawberries, 20 to 40 cents a quart. Live cattle are scarce and command good prices, selling from 2% to 6 cents a pound; sheep, 3% to 4; lambs, 5 to 6, and spring lambs, 7 to 9; cows, with calves, $25 to $45 each; calves, 3 to 6 cents a pound; dressed calves, 5 to 9; sheep, 4 to 6; hogs, * to 6; country sugar-cured hams, ° te 11. a The Hancock Statue. Mr. H. J. Ellicott, the sculptor, says he has practically completed the equestrian statue of Gen. Hancock, in accordance with the de- sign approved by the Secreary of War. The statue is being modeled in plaster at his studio, on S street. It is to be erected on the reservation on the north side of Penn- sylvania avenue between 7th and Sth streets. The plaster sections will be ship- ped in a few weeks to the Gorham & facturing Company, at Providence, F for casting into bronze, and at the co clusion of this operation arrangements wiil be made for the erection and unveiling of the statue. T iil take place he fali at a date to be fiaed ny the fe ry of War. AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House.—Stuart Robson, a comedian always welcome here, will begin an engagement of one week’s duration at the Grand Opera House next Monday even- ing, and will be seen in three of the best comedies in his extensive repertoire. He will inaugurate his engagement Monday evening with a presentation of John Bald- win Buchstone’s charming comedy, “Leap Year, or the Ladies’ Privilege,” appearing as Mr. Dionysius Dimple, a husband on trial. This is the result of Mr. Robson's latest incursion into the storehouse of an- cient dramatic literature, and the play has Probably not seen the light before since the days when Mr. Robson was leading ec- centric comedian and character actor in various celebrated stock companies of the leading cities of this country. The inter- pretation of it given by Robson in this country, and by Liston, half a century ago, in England, remain the standards in the stage annals of the two countries. “Leap Year” will be repeated on Tuesday, Wed- nesday and Thursday evenings and at the Wednesday matinee. On Friday evening and Saturday matinee Mr. Robson will be seen as the gay and rollicking Tony Lump- kin, in his production of Oliver Goldsmith's immortal comedy, “She Stoops to Conquer,” which met with so much success when pre- sented here by this comedian three seasons ago, and the engagement will terminate on Saturday evening with the only presenta- ‘tion of Bronson Howard's comedy success of the century, “The Henrietta,” with Mr. Robson in his favorite character of Bertie, the lamb. Mr. Robson will be aided by Mrs. Robson, Mr. Wm. Yerance and an efficient company, and each comedy will be mounted and costumed in the lavish man- ner that characterizes all of Mr. Robson's productions, Miss Ada Rehan.—Great interest is being manifested in the engagement, beginning. Monday next at the National Theater, of Miss Ada Rehan and Mr. Daly’s company, offering a repertoire of plays, some of which are familiar and others in which there will be the pleasure of seeing Miss Rehan for the first time. Notable among the latter ts “The Honeymoon,” “Two Gentlemen of Verona” and ‘Heart of Ruby.” In Julia, in the “Two Gentlemen of Verona,” Miss Rehan has added another exquisite portraiture to her gallery of Shakespearean heroines. And Mr. Daly has done nothing in years that has been more successful than his production of Tobin's comedy, “The Honeymoon,” in which Miss Rehan gains new and jJasting renown as Juliana, her latest creation. “Heart of Ruby” is a Japanese play from the French of Judith Gautier. The repertoire for the week is as follows: Monday, “Love on Crutches;” Tuesday, “The Honeymoon;” Wednesday, “Heart of Ruby;” Thursday, “Taming of the Shrew;” Friday and Sat- urday matinee, “Two Gentlemen of Ver- ona;” Saturday, “Nancy & Co.” Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—There will be a gay vision of Spanish life at the Lyceum next Monday, when Sam T. Jack's Extrava- ganza Company, just returned from its successful tour of Spanish America, takes posscssicn of the stage. This show {3 made up of all the necessary adjuncts of a thor- oughly enjoyable program, a cleverly writ- ten burlesque with laughable situations, the best of selected specialties, a series of living pictures and most necessary of all, a corps of pretty women. The bur- lesque is styled “The Bullfighter,” and deals with the life and adventures of one Don Pedro Escamillo, a Spanish matador, who vanquishes various rivals, and finally slays a huge bull single-handed, as the climax of the play. Don Pedro is repre- sented by a very pretty girl, the picadores and other assistants by equally handsome women, and the heavy villain is the raging taurus himself—a model of stage realism. The living pictures are marvels of beauty, and the specialty bill comprises every va- riety of entertainment, vocal, terpsichor- ean, aerial and humorous.. The Circus Coming.—Some very unique and pretty sights are given with the Bar- num & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth this season. By way of introduction to the sports and races on the track a tourna- ment has been devised between hunters mounted on jumping horses, Cossacks on pure-blooded Arabian steeds and others. The Maypole dance is beautifully executed by Bxpert horsemen and horsewomen, suc- ceeded afterward by jumps and leaps over high-barred gates, et together with a realistic “hunters’ meet,” showing whole p@cks of coursing and fox hounds with their whippers-in, etc. It is a very pretty and novel introduction to the races and ap- precited by all who love high-class horse- manship. This new feature will be seen here when the show arrives on Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18. * Butler's Bijou Theater._The dramatiza- tion of Rider Haggard’s “‘She’’ will be the attraction at Butler’s Bijou Theater next week. The play will be presented with a strong cast and with every accessory of scenery and costume and stage appoint- ment necessary to give realistic effect to the stirring incidents and situations. This exciting melodrama, with its vivid spec- tacular effects, has been remarkably suc- cessful elsewhere, and there is no doubt that it will be greeted with crowded houses during its engagement in this city. The Last Bischoff Concert.—The last con- cert of the Bischoff Course takes place Tuesday evening next at the Congrega- tional Church. The season will be closed "| Misses Hawke, with a fitting send-off, judging from the list ef talent which has been announced, some of the most prominent singers of the city being among those who will contribute numbers to the program. The list includes Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-Cliff, Mrs. Thos. Cc. Noyes, Mrs. Ettie Reeves Alderman, Miss Elsie M. Bond, Miss Isabel Du Bois, Mrs. John Seager, Mrs. H. C. Browning, Miss Florence McNelly, Miss Edna Scott Smith, besides a chorus of trained male voices and Dr. Bischoff, of course. Seats are now on sale at Ellis’ music store. The Trinity College Clubs.—An affair which promises to be both a society and a musical event will occur at the National Rifles’ Armory Wednesday evening next, the occasion being the concert by the Trin- ity College Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs. The list of patronesses includes some of the best-known society ladies of Washington, and has already been printed in The Star. The clubs come prepared to render the best program possible, and their efforts are sure to be crowned with success. The Kneisel Quartet.—It will be a source of great pleasure to the many lovers of chamber music to the many lovers of Quartet of Boston will appear at an early date in the concert at Builders’ Exchange Hall. The quartet is composed of Herr Franz Kneisel, first violin; Herr Otto Roth, second violin; Herr Louis Svecenski, viola, and Herr Alwin Schroeder, violoncello. ‘These gentlemen have been connected with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for many years, and enjoy a reputation which pos- sibly far exceeds that of the famous Sym- phony orchestra itself. Their work is of such an order that they may safely be ranked as the foremost of chamher music organizations. The program for this, their second annual Washington concert, ts as follows: Beethoven's Quartet in G major, Sarasate’s Spanish Dance, with solo for violin, by Mr. Kneisel; Tschaikows' dante; from quartet in D major; bati's’ Scherzo, from quartet in major; Dvorak’s Waldesruhe, Sitt’s Sere- nade, Cossmann’s Tarantelle, with solj for violoncello, by Mr. Schroeder, and Schu- mann’s Quartet, in A major. Tickets will be on sale on and after Wednesday, April at Droop & Son’s, $01 Pennsylvania ave- n Mr. McBee'’s Lectures.—In writing of the lectures which Mr. Silas McBee is to pre- sent at Metzerott Music Hall on Monday and Tuesday evenings next, the Right Rev. Henry C. Potter, bishop of New York, says: “You are embarking upon an enterprise in which you have my hearty sympathy, and for which you have, I think, many un- usual qualifications. The time is ripe for such a course of lectures as you propose to give; and your culture and observation eminently fit you to undertake them.” Miss Annie Lewis, the bright little sou- brette of this city, left last night for New York, where she will decide between two advantagecus offers—one from Mr. Richard Mansfield, to become a member of his Gar- cl Theater company, and the other from Camilla D'Arville, to join her new comic opera company. Cinderella.—Tonight at the Grand Opera House there will be a repetition of the fairy of “Cinderella,” which was given with such good effect by Prof. Geo. H. Sheldon and his pupils some weeks ago. The cast will be pracically the same as on the former occasion and there will be an attractive program of fancy dances by the children. - vay Rifles’ Fair.The first week of Ordway Rifies’ Fair will close this ening, when the special attraction is to be a display of Mrs. Jarley’s wax works. onday evening the dancing class of the with little Helen Durman, @ popular fancy dancer, will be on hand ente in the itors. | ae tarkea shad dinners every Sunday at ali Hall. m. and 2 Steamer Macalester leaves p.m.—Advt. « MORTON CADETS BENEFIT. A Large Attendance and «Brilliant Program at Metgerott Hall. Apparently the success of the benefit ten- dered the Morton--Cadets iast:evening’ in Metzerott Music Hall could not have been greater, considering the’ affair in all its phases. The. hall .was.erowded -with un- usually enthusiastic friends, the program Was rendered without athitch, and the ef- forts of the entertainers were. fully. ap- preciated. The Carroll Institute Orchestra, under the direction of. Mr-.Sol Minster, opened the en- tertainment with the “Coronation March,” end then Messrs. Cullen and Collins gave 4 banjo duet, which won a-yeritable storm of applause, and a double encore proved neces- sary. The Apollo Quartet then appeared and rendered “Sunshine” in its customary faultless manner. Of course the quartet Was encored and it responded with “‘Dixie,”” which brought down the house. Popular Geo. H. O'Connor convulsed the audience with a trio of comic songs, after-which Mr. Sol Minster rendered a very difficult violin solo in a highly creditable manner. .A bati- tone solo from “Lucretia Borgia,” by Prof. Mariano Maina,was highly appreciated, and then one of the features of the evening was given by Miss Annie Lewis, who appeared in costume and sang “You Can’t Play in My Back Yard,” as origirally presented by her with such great success in ‘‘Prince.Pro Tem,” at the Boston Museum. As an en- ccre Miss Lewis recited the ‘Goblins Will Get You, If You Don’t Watch Out.” Hub Smith was loudly applauded after his ren- dition of “Mrs. Enry 'Awkins,” but he de- clined to respond. ‘‘L’Ecstasi,” waltz, was sung in an artistic manner by Miss Mary H. Howe, who also gave “Ben Bolt.” The Next number on the program was “The Fishes’ Wedding,” by the popular Philhar- monic Quartet, which sang for a recall “On Monday Morn." The concluding number of the program proper was “Patriotic Airs, overture, by ‘the Carroll Institute Orches: tra, which again demonstrated its right to stand as one of the excellent musical or- ganizations in this city. One of the features of the evening was an individual competitive drill between fifteen commissioned officers of the High School Cadets. Lieutenant Colonel Harry Leonard commanded the squad, while the judges were Capt. Clarence B. Story of the second separate company, D. C. N. G., and Capt. Leonard H. Mattingly, company .B, third battalion, D. C. N. G. The contest gradu- ally narrowed down until but three cadets: stood in line—First Lieutenant Graff of company F, Capt. Auer of company A and Capt. Taussig of company H. Lieut. Graff and Capt. Auer erred in order named, and amid tumultuous applause Capt. Taussig was declared the winner. In a brief com- plimentary speech Capt. Story presented Capt. Taussig with a handsome gold medal, donated by Mr. J. Karr, the jeweler, and the audience dispersed. The accompanists were Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard, Mrs. Flint and Mr. Chas. McEnany. Each of the ladies who contrib- uted to the program was presented with a handsome bouquet. The amount realized from the benefit has not yet been deter- mined, but it is known to be a goodly sum. Planked shad dinners every Sunday at Marshall Hall.
