The death of “Nettie” Doyle Saturday morning was a shock to the many residents of Le Droit Park who knew her. A week ego today she engaged in the chijdren’s sperts at the White House grounds, and while ther2 caught a fatal cold from sit- tirg on the damp ground. Despite unre- mitting attention, she rapidly gre® worse. This afternoon at 3 o'clock the funeral services were held at her late home, 1002 8d street, and were attended by many of her saddened little friends. —— Died Suddenly in Baltimore. George W. Much of this city died sud- denly Saturday evening of heart disease while on the street in Baltimore. He had been living in that city for some time, where he was employed in his trade as a ship joiner. His family, who reside at 508 5th street southeast, were notified of his death, and the son of the deceased, Robert L. Much, went over to Baltimore and Licight the remains here for interment. —_—__— Donp Declared Insane. After a brief absence from the court room the marshal's jury, shortly after 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, returned a verdict to the effect that Mr. Oliver P. Donn is of un- sound mind and not competent of transact- ing bis business affairs. The case was on hearing fo: week on a petition filed by Mrs. Ella S. Todd and Mrs. Lula A. Bur- ton, two daughters of Mr. Donn. It was opposed by two other daughters, Mrs. Mary Cc. Metzger and Mrs. Cora L. Dinwiddie. A motion to set aside the verdict will un- Goubtedly be made before the Equity Court at an early date. —_——— Reception of Kindergartners.

The burglars who have made a practice of robbing the houses of ministers Sunday nights while the occupants were at church visited the residence of Rev. Samuel H. Greene, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, last night, but fortunately Mr. Greene’s brother-in-law, J. M. Buzzill, returned home a little early and frightened off the bur- glars before they had had an opportunity to ransack the house. This is the third time these burglars have called at min- isters’ houses, having visited and robbed the houses of Rev. Samuel Smith and Rev. J. G. Butler within the past six weeks, as well as having robbed ministers’ houses in Baltimore. Last night there were two men together, and they effected an entrance to the house by forcing oper the rear basement door. Once inside the house there was nothing to interfere with their work, for they were able to go from the cellar to the garret without even the trouble of unlocking doors. They had commenced operations on the upper floor, and, as they had done at otber heuses, they would have opened and ransacked every drawer and closet in the house in search of money or valuable jewelry, but the return of the member of the family mentioned caused them to de- part before they had a chance to investi- gate the room where the pastor had _ his loose money. They had secured about $3.50 in cash, when they found it. necessary to get out of the house or be captured. Mr. Buzzill, who was on the lower floor, heard |footsteps overhead, but he paid no attention to the sounds, thinking some members of the family had returned home. But in a few minutes he was surprised to see two young men descending the steps, and, the mer being strangers to him, he naturally inquired something of their iden- tity. The young men had no idea of re- vealing their identity, but wanted to leave, because they knew they were not welcome. Fearing there might be some effort made to cause their arrest, one of the burglars drew a revolver and pointed it at Mr.Buzzill,while they backed slowly out the front door. Upon leaving the house they ran through Kingman place, while the occupant of the house whom they had left behind made an outery to attract the attention of the po- lice. These outcries attracted’ a large crowd and caused considerable excitement. But all this had no effect on the burglars, who continued on their journey until they had succeeded in getting out of sight. The police were called to the house and told of what had happened, and were given a fairly gaod description of the burglars. Now that they have a description of the men the police may get them. — AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Lecal Notes From Across Rock Creek Bridge. Mr. James Rabbitt, an old resident of Georgetown, died Saturday afternoon at his residence, 32d and O streets, in the ninetieth year of his age. The funeral took place at Trinity today at 2:30, Father Roc- cefort officiating. Mass was celebrated this morning at Trinity for the repose of the soul of Rev. Father De Wolf, a former pastor. Seth Schell is improving his house, 1341 29th street, through the construction of a back building. Dennis Haggerty has begun the construc- tion of seven houses on Market street be- tween Q and R, east side. Dan’l Kane is completing three three story bay-window residences on R street near 32d. Wells & Barber have been granted a per- mit for the construction of a boiler room in the rear of 3237 K street, to be used in connection with their steam laundry. The country roads west of Rock creek and within the District limits are in a mis- erable condition;. stones are lying about everywhere, to the destruction of easy travel; ruts exist in numbers also. Not for many years, it Is said, have the roads been so unfit for use. Those who are forced to use these highways are loud in their com- plaints. —_—_- TO PROVIDE LAND. Discussing Practical Methods of Help- ing the Poor. There was a meeting Saturday afternoon of the citizens’ central relief committee to consider the request of the District Com- missioners that the committee shall for- mulate a plan, either permanent or to mect temporary emergencies, in caring for the poor of the District. The meeting was held in the office of Judge Cole, the chairman of the committée, but the attendance was so small that after a short informal consider- ation of the matter it was decided to post- pone action until next Saturday, when all the members of the committee will earnest- ly be urged to be present. Those present Saturday were Judge C. C. Cole, Mrs. J. W. Babson, Miss Loring, Mr. T. W. Noyes, Dr. Ritchie, Mr. John F. Cook and Secre- tary L. S. Emery. At the next meeting of the committee, which will be held in the office of Judge Cole, at the City Hall, at 4 o'clock Satur- day afternoon, Mr. Emery will submit a plan, suggesting the {dea of an experi- mental farm. Those needing help, Mr. Emery believes, are the aged and the in- firm, those who depend too much on public assistance and those who are out of em- ployment by the excess of laborers over the demand in any industry. He wil propose to provide for 200 families, aggregating 1,000 persons, by purchasing or renting 2,000 acres of land, giving each family ten acres. At $10 an acre the cost of land, if purchased, would be $20,000; equipment with tools, $3,000; seed for the first year, $3,000, shelter other than may be reasonably expected to be on purchased $4,000; provisions for first few 2,000; making a total of $32,000, s less than was collected for charity last year. —_—__ A Piano Recital.

BUSINESS MEN PROTEST. Objections to Moving No. 2 Engine Company From Its Present Location. Business men and property owners in the center of the city and representatives of fire insurance companies have protested to the District Commissioners against the Proposed removal of engine company No. 2 from its present location on D street be- tween 12th and 13th streets. The site talk- ed of by the Commissioners for the new engine house for No. 2 company is on Ohio avenue between lith and 15th. The prop- erty owners and others interested think that such a location removes the engine company too far from the valuable busi- ness property to which it has always been a protection. Today the protest. took for- ral shape in the presentation to the Dis- trict Commissioners of the following pro- test: “We the undersigned members of the board of fire underwriters and business men of Washington, D. C., respectfully protest against the removal of the engine house No. 2, located on the south side of D street between 12th and 13th streets northwest, for the reasons: That its pres- ent location is best; that the immense amount of valuable stock closely crowded together in the buildings occupy!ng Market space between 7th and 9th streets north- west and on Pennsylvania avenue and north of Pennsylvania avenue and west as far as 13th street, makes this house absolutely essential to the protection of these properties.” The signatures attach- ed were as follows: Harry Birge, Lem Towers, Robinson, Blackford & Fague, John W. Schaffer, L. R. Peak, Wolf & Cohen, C. W. Howard, W. B. Boteler, = Kann, Sons & €o., F. Peterson, E. Smith, W. D. Clark & Co., Thos. G. Hen: sey & Co., Burt, Packard & Co., B. J. Pull- man, W. S.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians gave thetr second annual entertainment last evening‘at the Academy of Music. The oc- casion was marked by great enthusiasm, elaborate decoraticns, in which the green flag of Erin was prominent with the stars and stripes, and unstinted applause for the performers. The audience was very large and the whole affair was an unqualitied success from every point of view. Prof. Mariano Maina, assisted by a pick- ed chorus, sang “Hail, Columbia,” for the opening number, the audience applauding at the conclusion of every stanza. He was followed by Chairman P. T. Moran, who gave an interesting history of the order, and then introduced Rev. T. J. Shahan,who gave a spirited address on the patriotism of the Irish race, and particularly those who belonged to the Hibernian order. Miss Mamie Donnelly ther sang “The Last Rose of Summer,” and was followed by a harp solo by Miss Anita Cluss. Miss Cluss ren- dered a fantaste of Irish airs of her own arrangement, and from the loud applause that followed it was evident that the audi- ence was pleased. Mr. MacFarland ren- dered ‘Killarrey” in his usual faultless style. The next number was one which aroused the most inmost feelings of the audience. Rey. Father Stafford of St. Pat- rick’s Church gave Moore's immortal verses, “The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls,” in a spirited manner, follow- ing it with an address upon the Irish love of country, not only for the land of their birth, but for the country of their adoption. He was followed by a vocal rendition of the song by Miss Mary Helen Howe, ac- companied by Miss Cluss on the harp, the effect being artistic and delightful, Miss Howe singing with expression and ‘spirit. Mr. McNulty sang the “Three Leaves of Shamrock.” The two features of the even- ing, however, were the singing of Madame Pauline Maina and the quartet from “Rig- oletto.” Mrs. Maina received a triple en- core. Her original song was “Kathleen Mavourneen,” but before the audience would let her go she had sung “Some Day” and a little ballad, “No,” all of them ren- dered in a highly artistic manner. The quartet was composed of Miss Mary Helen Howe, Mrs. Maina, Mr. Maina and Mr. William MacFearland. The entertainment closed with “The Star Spangled Banner,” sung by Madame Maina, Mrs. Forney and Miss Donnelly, as- sisted by the chcrus. The large chorus that had been assembled by Prof. Maina sang with precision and effect, showing the care that had been taken in their rehear- sal, and the accompanists, Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard and Miss Emily How- lett. were thoroughly efficient. Altogether the whole affair was a credit to those who participated in the program, to the audi- ence and to those who had charge of the entertainment. — The Short Story Club. Mr. Marshall tendered his parlors of the Oxford to the Short Story Club Wednesday evening. Major F. Willis presided. Miss Flora Rheet opened the exercises with a plano solo; Mrs. Frances Burkett read an eriginal stcry, entitled “My Star,” which was received with marked appreciation by the audience; Miss Grahame voiced “Arditi’s Waitz Song;” Mrs, M. T. Haywood recited “Aux Italie th artistic shading and deep feelirg; Miss Grahame again sang “Lore’s Philosophy,” accompanied by her sister, Miss Bessie Grahame; Dr. Thomas Calver gave a laughable sketch, dubbed “He Wasn't in It,” and, for an encore, “The Lodger.” Miss Jeannie Haywood pleased with two dainty vocal numbers. In “Mar- garita’’ she was accompanied by the Misses Bagley on violin and piano. Miss Anna Hertford closed the exercises with a humorous _ seleciion, he Bread-crust Girl." The president a) unced a special entertainment for May Mrs. Burkett, the vice president, will have the refresh- ments in charge on that occasion. Se Sees ees Denth of Alex. N. Breckenridge. The death of Mr. Alexander N. Brecken- ridge, who had been ill for some days at his home, 1205 M street, occurred Saturday evening. The funeral will take place to- morrow afternoon. ——— Sons and Daughters of Maine. The last April meeting of the Sons and Daughters of Maine was held Saturday evening at 707 G street northwest.

A new organization cwhich has just sprung up in this city: gives promise of do- ing more in the musicaliworld than most of the societies whichi now compose it Al- though it has been formed for only a few months, yet the restiits*which it has al- ready attained seem to warrant its perma- nent establishment in the*hearts of the mu- sic-loving people of this eity. The name of this new club is “The Damzosch Society,” and it is safe to predict that they will not dishonor the name of this most efficient leader. After selecting the name for the organization the next difficulty was in find- ing a suitable director. In this the society made a happy selection, the choice falling on the well-known tenor singer, Mr. Her don Morsell. Another difficulty was in find- ing an accompanist, good ones being so very rare. Mr. Varella was chosen, and his work already proves him to be fitted for the place. ‘The ofiicers of the society are as follows: President, Mr. Jas. G. ‘Traylor; vice presi- dent, Dr. D. H. Riggs; secretary, Mr. Jacob Scharf; treasurer, Mr. W. A. Domer, and librarian, Mr, Chas, F. Roberts. The gov- erning body is composed of these officers, with the addition of two other members, who are at present: Mr. Geo. Scharf and Mr. Geo. S. Cocper. Tha membership is Mmited to thirty, seven to cach singing part, and already the quota of each part is nearly made up. Tike object of the society is a purely musical one. No concert or en- tertainment is ever to be given for pay, and admission to all its meetihgs will be by invitation only. The first musical evening of the society was given Wednesday last, an account of which was in The Star, and the purpose of the organization is to keep up the series for the benefit of its friends and members. The following is the merle at the present time: Jas. G. Traylor, D. H. Riggs, Jacob Scharf, Chas. F. Roberts, Geo. S. Cooper, Geo. Scharf, Herndon Morsell, Ed. A. Varella, Chas. F. Hall, Chas. W. Moore, Bernard A. Ryan, E. G. Seibert, J. Wesley Johnson, Arthur H. Giles, W. E. Williams, W. R. Bushby, C. H. Zepp, L. E. Stille, Thad. Jones, C. S. Richards, C. H. Soran, L, Euyster, G. P.

Sees Dangerous Charges. At a special hearing given Mrs. Morris of Georgetown the Commissioners held that they had no jurisdiction over the size of the -charges fired by the contractors in blasting on M street for the union street car station.

Edmunds of Ver- mont, when asked by a Star reporter what, it any, further action would be taken in the case of John G. Moore of New York against the Secretary of the Treasury and the commissioner of internal revenue, in which the complainant sought to have two cfficials restrained from proceeding in the collection of tne income tax, stated that he knew of no new move being contemplated. This case, going up from the District Su- preme Court, was one of those passed upon by the United States Supreme Court. Re- ferring to the action of the latter tribunal, Senator Edmunds stated that, in his opin- ion, the action of the court left it possible for any competent jucge to hereafter, in such cases, construe the law: as to its con- stitutionality and effect as the particular judge might, in his own judgment, consider pro) and right. Senator Edmunds stated also that he did not believe the Supreme Court would grant the rehearing asked for. Certainly not, he thought, until there was a full court.
