At midnight the grand march struck up and the guests filed out to the supper tables, where an elaborate and sub- stantial repast Was spread. The music was tip-top, the costumes of the men were as black and conventional as appear at any fashionable entertainment, while the gowns of the ladies were the very latest, and in every way most proper, and, altogether, the ball was one to be remembered and looked back to for a year with feelings of Pleasure and satisfaction. ——— Big: Sale of Crockery. arge sale of crockery direct from the manufacturer at Latimer, Morgan & Co.’s, ) and 1281 G street, Monday at 10 o'cloc Dealers and private buy should attend.—Advt. — e Water Color Sale.

Point THE ALLISON NAILOR MEDAL Splendid Trophy for the Best High School Company. A Beautiful Design Wrought in Gold and Dixsmonds—What the Donor Says. The members of the regiment of High School Cadets in general, and the captains of the nine companies in particular, are deeply interested in the exquisite and cost- ly medal presented by Capt. Allison Nailor of this city to the High School, and which is to be worn by the captain of the winning company of the cadets each year. The trophy was placed on exhibition today in the window of Jacobs Brothers’ jewelry es- tablishment, 1229 Pennsylvania avenue northwest. “Recognizing the High School Cadets as one of the features of Washington, and one of which the citizens should feel justly proud,” said Capt. Nailor to a Star re- porter, “and also knowing that each in- dividual member is thoroughly qualified to take command of and mstruct a regiment should the emergency ever arise for the formation of an army to repel foreign in- vasion or quell internal disturbance, and prompted by a desire to encourage and stimulate the cadets to even a higher de- gree of proficiency, the medal was offered. “As many of those who are boys now may in a few years attain positions of honor and fame, they may look back, as all of us do, with pride to those nappy days of youth, whose memory time never effaces, and, as a souvenir of this occasion, part of the medal will remain the in- dividual property of the captain of the winning company. “It occurred to me,” continued Nailor, “that while the boys would receive the medal and the souvenir, the girls of the High School were ignored. Therefore, to give them an opportunity, at least, as a reward, I offered a ten-dollar gold piece for the best design, and $5 for the second design for an original, unique and patriotic medal. A committee was selected by Prin- cipal Lane, Major B. R. Ross and myself, consisting of Mr. Louis D. Wine, Mr. J. M. Hilton and Mr. G. R. Pohl, to’ judge the designs submitted, and from fifty or more that of Mr. Thomas Ridgway was decided on, while second choice was in favor of Miss Edna R. Wescott. “The design for the first prize was put into practical shape by Mr. George R. Pohl of the supervising architect’s office, and submitted to the best working jeweler artisans of the country. Mr. F. X. Zirnkil- ton, formerly of Vienna, but now of Phila- delphia, who worked on the crown jewels of Austria, was given the order. The dla- monds were sectred through a firm of Washington jewelers, who were instructed to purchase the finest and purest stones that could be obtained.” The medal cost $40, and is generally con- ceded to be the handsomest device of a similar nature in the city. It comprises two crossed rifles of gold, beneath which is a spread eagle. On a heavy gold bar beneath the eagle are the words, “Allison Nallor prize medal.” Artistically wrought in this device are two American ensigns. From this is suspended a five-pointed star of white enamel, with a large, sparkling dia- mond at each point. The letters H. S. C., worked in a monogram, are in the center of the star. On the reverse of the medal the following is engraved: “This medal 1s do- nated to the High School Cadets of Wash- ington, D. C., to stimulate them to a higher degree of proficiency and skill in military knowledge, by Allison Nailor, May, 1895, and is to be worn annually by the captain of its best-drilled company.’ The medal will be presented to the win- ning captain at the conclusion of the an- nual company competitive drill of the ca- dets, in National Base Ball Park, Friday afternoon, May —_—__ A SPRING PARADE. Capt. A Band of Music Delighted the Crowds of Spring Predestrians. Yesterday’s sun brought out not only the leaves and grass and the crowds and the birds and other signs of spring, but it also brought forth a band of music and a long parade of wagons that meant the formal opening of that season so eagerly welcomed by thirsty people, the day of bock beer. The little parade—and it was not so little either, for it was composed of a victoria, a tallo-ho, two buggies, a double team goat wagon and twelve delivery wagons—started at 3 o’clock and went meandering over the city, making merry music for three hours. It started at the bottling establishment of F. H. Finley & Sons, near Washington Cir- cle, and toured and tooted about the city like an angle worm endowed with musical abilitles. Appropriate banners and signs decorated the vehicles, and announced to the world that crowded the curbs on the line of march that Messrs. Finley were the sole agents of Val. Blatz’s beer in this Dis- trict, and that It is good beer, and that it is right new in season. These signs of the times were humorously written and de- lighted the people. 4 nce Given in Colambian iversity Last Night. There was a big audience in the lecture hall of the Columbian University last even- ing, but It is a question how many people thoroughly understood and appreciated the entertainment which was provided for their delectation. It was a unique per- formance in that all the features In the program were in the Latin tongue, and it is one thing to be able to translate a page of Caesar's commentaries, and quite an- cther to follow all the details of a musical and literary entertainment, such as might have graced the boards of a Roman theater a couple of thousand years ago. ‘The program was printed in Latin, and all the young men and women who’ took part in the show were attired in Roman togas, and after an address of welcome by Prof. Montague, which was as Latin as any Philippic, a chorus was sung by Messrs. Donnelly, Playter, Finckel, Misses Maguire, Morriso: Metcalf, Biddis, Ross, Altemus, Kelton, Clements and Bradford. Miss Ade- lina E. Maguire read a Latin story. A Latin song followed, by Miss Adelaide Clements in a sweet soprano. Miss Hen- i *. Morrison read an ode from Catul- William K. Ward gave Cicero’s ion. A quartet, consisting of Finckel and Donnelly and Misses ison and Maguire, sang a Latin song. BY Grace I. Ross recited an ode from Horace, and the program concluded with the presentation of a Latin play, “The Saptives” of Plautus, in which the cast Was made up of Mr. George R. Davis, Mr. Frederick A. L. Schade, Mr. Reed P. Clark and Mr. Conrad M. Patten. Mr. Raymond M. Alden acted as prompter. eee ree The New Auction House.

An Admirable Opportunity for the Exercise of Practical Charity. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I know The Star has ever been foremost in encouraging helpfulness to our less for- tunate citizens, and I venture to hope you will allow me space for a few suggestions in behalf of a little mission which I have long wished to see established in our city. I have been an invalid for fourteen years, and have thought much about my fellow sufferers wherever they may be, and the possible alleviations to a lot of more priva- tion than any of you who are well and strcng can realize. Nor are many aware of how many of those quiet sufferers of wkom nobody hears there are. . I have always believed that if individual cases of those whose lives would be Dright- ened by receiving and others whose lives might be broadened by giving could but somehow be brought together much good would be accomplished without any fur- ther solicitation. The milk of human kind- ness is not dried up in our hearts by any means, but we fail to realize or be aware of our opportunities. It is not a money ‘gift that I desire. It is indeed not only among the poor <hat I would wish to see the mission flourish. It was first suggested to me by the very smooth driving in Washington and the beautifully shaded streets and the many flower-bedded parks, all so restful and de- lightful to one who, as a rule, spends year in_and year out within four walls. So many own their own horses and vehi- cles; and I have thought that if they only knew of some one (near by them perhaps) who is able seldom or never to get out, either to walk or to ride on street cars, but is compelled to be a prisoner within doors, and who would be refreshed and giaddened by a drive, and through many long days thereafter live on the memory of it, they would be glad of the opportunity to bring some sunshine into a darkened life by send- ing round their carriage and coachman— or, better still, going themselves—to take the sufferer for an airing. There are many families of culture and in very comfortable living circumstances who yet cannot afford the luxury of a horse and carriage. I would be very glad if the invalids or the crippled and aged among these, as well as among the poor, would let themselves be known. Nor need they at all hesitate by feeling that they would be considered as objects of charity. Not by any means, but only as recipients of a polite and gentle courtesy, ever due to the weaker from the stronger. I have felt a delicacy in broaching my plan heretofore, because I might have been accused of a personal motive; but I am now relieved of such embarrassment by the re- cent purchase of a very gentle horse and an easy phaston, and I expect myself to have the privilege of joining in the mission I propose. Visits, of course, will not be made to those sick of fevers or other acute dis- eases, so that there will be no danger of contagion. ° Something might be done also by those who have not carriages to brighten the hours of those invalids who are not able to drive out. I would therefore respectfully solicit all who own their own horse and vehicle, and who would be willing to take some “‘shut- in” for an occasional drive, to send their name and address to A. G. H., care of Evening Star; also any who would be will- to visit and cheer or read to the “shut- ” On the other hand, I desire all shut- ins who would like to make the acquaint- ance of some outside friends to write their name and address, and, if they like, a short account of their invalidism, whether they could go for a drive, whether they are able to do their own reading, or in what way their lives might be brightened, and send to A. G. H., in care of Evening Star. I would suggest, also, that while no church membership is required, it would be well, if any one is a member of any church, to name it and its pastor, so that In future organizing parties most congenial to each other might be brought together. Hoping to obtain a large response on sides of this question, A. G. ———— THE MONROE DOCTRINE. both H. Some Utterances on the Subject by Gen. Grant and Salmon P. Chane. To the Editor of The Evening Star: As the statesmen and the press are now engaged in the discusston of the Monroe doctrine and the possible difficulties that surround such doctrine that may come up to trouble this country, the following decia- rations of Mr. Chase, late chief justice of the Supreme Court, will be found of great interest: “I belfeve that the statesmen whose views were represented by President Monroe's message, including Mr. Monroe himself, in- tended to be understood in the plain sense of the language employed; meant that any attempt to force the European system upon America would be dangerous to our safety, and that that any interference with any American government by European powers for the purpose of oppressing it or forcibly controlling its destiny would be regarded as an unfriendly manifestation. “In this sense the declaration was under- stood and accepted by the American people and became a cardinal principle of Ameri- can policy. After all, however, it is not so important to inquire into the history as to the soundness of the doctrine and the propriety of insisting on its application to the recent events in San Domingo and Mexico. It certainly would have suited my temper and taste much better to do so; and yet I cannot blame Mr. Seward for not having done so. He never renounced it; he only forebore to insist on it, when to insist would only have been counted a menace and would have precipitated recognition of the rebel confederacy, and that recognition would have been followed by war.” Referring to Napoleon’s attempt to seize Mexico, Gen. Gi moirs, says: “Seeing a nation extending from dtean to ocean, embracing the better part of a conti- nent, growing as we were growing in popu- lation, wealth and intelligence, the Euro- pean nations thought it would be well to give us a check. Hence England, France and Spain joined in setting up an Austrian prince upon the throne of Mexico, totally disregarding any rights or claims that Mexico had of being treated as an inde- pendent power. “Under pretext of protecting their citi- zens, these nations seized upon Mexico as a foothold for establishing a European monarchy upon our continent, thus threat- ening our peace at home. I, mysglf, re- garded this as a direct act of war against the United States by the powers engaged, and supposed, as a matter of course, that the United States would treat it as such when their hands were free to strike.” After the surrender of Lee at Appomatox, Gen. Grant at once started for Washington, but before doing so he started Gen. Sheri- dan for the Rio Grande, with an army— taken from the illustrious army of the Po- tomac—that army which not only saved this country from the wreck of disunion, but saved Mexico from a foreign ruler. The sight of Sheridan with his troops on the banks of the Rio Grande gave Mexico her independence without the firing of a gun. nt, in his personal me- —__ Policeman Parker Dead. Policeman George T. Parker of the sixth precinct died at his home, No. 31 F street, last evening, after an illness of several months. Consumption was the cause of death. Deceased, who was about thirty- three years old, came here from near Ashe- ville, N. C., several years ago, and six years ago he was appointed on the police force. During his term of service on the force he 1%de many friends, and figured in a number of important cases. He leaves a wife and child three weeks old. Although he has not been able to do duty for sev- eral months, it was not until yesterday morning that he was forced to remain in bed. The deceased officer was a member of the Masonic order. His mother and two brothers live in North Carolina. —>—_— In Behalf of the Old Guard. The carnival and strawberry festiyal to be given under the auspices of the Old Guard at Odd Fellows’ Hall, on 7th street, May 13 to 18, is a gratuitous effort by the staff officers of the organization to aid in ratsing funds to defray the expenses of music to accompany the Old Guard to the national encampment of the G. A. R. in Louisville, Ky., next September, A committee of arrangements has been formed, and is rapidly perfecting the nec- essary details. At a meeting of this com- mittee held Thursday night in the red parlor of the Ebbitt House much enthu- siasm was manifested, especially by the lady friends who had been invited to par- ticipate. They were present in force, and promised their co-operation in contributing to the success of the enterprise. ‘The coffimiitee is evidently in earnest and has given an assurance that while the entertainment will include some of the fea- tures of a bazaar, there will be freedom from the annoyances of soliciting for votes and chances. There will be dancing and a change of program each evening. TO TRY THE POTATO PLAN Oexéral Relief Committee Appropriates a Thousand Dollars. ° To Previde Work for the Destitute— Resolutions Adopteé at Yester- day's Meetings. There will Be work and a chance fer every poor family in Washington to better its condition this summer. The relief com- mittee, which last week appointed a sub- committee to consider the potato plan, met yesterday afternoon at Judge Cole’s room at the city hall, and not only adopted the idea, but gave it effect by authorizing a subcommittee to proceed to co-operate with other organizations in the work and to set the plan in operation, and to that end $1,000 was appropriated to their use. There were present Justice Cole, who pre- sided; Messrs. B. H. Warner, Theodore W. Noyes, Col. John Tracy, Mrs. J. W. Babson and L. S. Emery. The subcommittee on methods of rellef through work, consisting of Messrs. L. 8. Emery, T. W. Noyes and J. W. Somerville, presented its report through Mr. Emery. The committee indorsed the plan, and asked that steps be taken at once to put it in operation, and that seed and tools be furnished. Resolutions Adopted. The following resolutions were presented and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the central relief com- mittee indorse the project of putting the so-called Detroit plan into practical ope- ration in this city. Resolved, That the subcommittee on methods of relief through work be author- ized and instructed to co-operate with the board of trade, the Associated Charities or organizations of citizens in carrying into effect this project. Resolved, That the sum of $1,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary, be ap- propriated, subject to the approval of the District Commissioners, and placed at the isposal of the above subcommittee, to enable them to carry out these instruc- tions of the central relief committee. Col. Tracy offered the following resolu- tion, which was adopted: “Resolved, That the secretary of this committee transmit a copy of these reso- lutions, just passed, to the Commissioners of the District, with the request that they favor us with early action on the same.” Mrs. Babson told of a colored woman on Capitol Hill who had already gone to work on the Detroit plan, and had a nice crop of garden vegetables nearly ready to use on a vacant lot that had been offered her. She had herself fenced it in with old boards and bits of wire, and had done all the work in odd times from other labor. Their Experiences ax Farmers. Mr. Warner said he thought the scheme promised good results. His own experience in potato raising hardly afforded him data upon which to advise in the present under- taking, for, from a careful estimate, he had discovered that the potatoes he raised had cost him about ten cents apiece. Col. Tracy related his experience in rais- ing cabbages on a block of property near New York a few years ago, where, on iand worth $200,000, he had set out over 100,000 cabbage plants and harvested two gcod cabbages. That result was due to blight rather than bad farming. Judge Cole and others of the committce united in the view that this was to be a fruitful season, and that prospects were good for the local operations, The subcommittee in charge of the pbtato plan will confer at once with the board of trade committee and other organizations desiring to co-operate and organize work. There is an abundance of land available, but so far few applications for a chance to work on them. ‘These will no doubt come in as soon as the project is under definite headway. Approved by the Commissioners, L. S. Emery, secretary of the Associated Charities and a member of the special committee that reported upon the Detroit plan for the relief of the poor, called upon the Commissioners this moraing and pr sented the report of the committee, v the Commissioners promptly approved. — GEORGETOV AFFAIRS I Local Notes of Interest From Across Rock Creek. The appropriation for defraying the ex- pense incurred in the burial of indigent United States soldiers and sailors has been called into service through the death of Carter Campbell, a well-known old colored man, who died yesterday at Freedman’s Hospital. Campbell had been a sailor in the United States service, and been hon- orably discharged. This morning the re- mains were inclosed in a neat coffin and interred at Arlington cemetery. Carter Campbell’s last days were spent in the service of Gillingham, the West End furniture dealer. ‘The indigent burial appropriation 1s $5,000 annually. Forty dollars are allowed to the funeral, exclusive of the burial site. The Tenleytown electric cars are falling in line with the fender movement. Wheat, which up to within a few weeks ago has been a drug on the market at 50 cents and thereabouts, has suddenly taken a leap and is now bringing 70 and 75 cents. As the latest crop was much smaller in the counties about here than for several seasons, there is a strong be- lief that the grain will shortly bring a dollar a bushel. Several of the Montgémery and Washing- ton county mills have shut down on ac- count of the rise, and the unwillingness of the farmers to dispose of what they have at the present market price. They will wait for a still higher figure. Last sea- son’s flooding of the wheat market so low- ered prices that many farmers.this season laid out their wheat fields in other stutfs. Hence the scarcity. Georgetowners have for years been using the letter hole in the big post office door here to drop their mail in at night. As these doors are not opened antil the morn- Ing letters and parceis have been delayed in forwarding six or elgat hours. Post- master Hutchins, to facilitate the delivery of these night letters, has closed up the drop hole and placed’a letter and parcel box immediately in front of the office, from which collecticns are made at 12:30. At this hour the office is not opened, but the entire collection taken to Washington for distribution. Lorenzo Honey, in wandering through Mt. Zion graveyard yesterday discovered two dead infants lying on the surface of the burying ground. They were evidently twins, a boy and girl. It is believed that they ‘died naturally, and were put there in the hope of securing for them an in- terment there instead of in the potter's field. ‘The coroner was notified, the bodies being brought to the station ‘and placed in the morgue. Last night the Mite Society gave an en- tertainment at the Dumbarton Avenue Church. Every number on the program was one of excellence. The seletions were musical and literary. The crowd was large.

Butter Declines—Beef Still High— Well-Supplied Market. The most prominent feature of the local wholesale produce market was a fall in butter, prices falling about 2 ceats a pound in all the grades. In vegetables, too, prices declined somewhat, but in them quotations are almost daily Influenced, and materially so, by the warmer growing weather. Beef still commands very high prices, and gives practically no indications of any early or material reduction in prices. Poultry is sympathetically affected and {s not over abundant, prices being a tcne higher. The market is well supplied, and an apparently growing demand gives it a strong, healthy tone and an active firmness. The heavy rainfall of the we2k is expected to have quite a bearing on the market, and favorably so to both producer and consumer. At the present prices it is probable that butter will hold its own for perhaps at least a week, and about the middle of the month still lower prices may be looked for. The long-prevailing scarcity in fancy goods ccntinues, and the market in the under grades is very slow, such stock hardly being desired at any prices. Near-by goods show very often a taint of garlic. The heavy rainfall during the week is expect- ed to materially hasten good grass butter, which may be expected in two or three weeks’ time, or even earlier. In cheese there is really no change in prices or con- ditions. Today, for fancy Elgin creamery and other western extras, 20 cents a pound is asked; firsts, 18; seconds, 16, and im tions, 14. Fancy creamery print, 25; dai: print, 18 to 20, and Maryland and Virginia print, 16 to 18; western dairy, best, 12 to 13, and good, 9 to 10. Maryland and Vir- ginla dairy, choice, 14 to 15, and good to primey 11 to 13. Bakers’ stock, 12. New York cheese, large creams, 12% cents a pound, and flats and ponys, 13. New, 11 to 12, ses went down to 11 1-2 cents a dozen early week, today they are firm at 12 1-: Indications, however, point to lower prices during the next two or three weeks, when they will probably fall as low as at any time this season. The high prices for beef, which affect other meats, are responsible for an unusu- ally active demand for poultry, and the supply is hardly in keeping with the de- mand. Spring chickens are scarce, and prices for them are somewhat advanced. Drawn turkeys, 12 to 16 cents a pound; un- drawn, 12 to 16; live, 10 to 12; drawn chick- ens, 12 to 16; undrawn, 12 to 14; live win- ter chickens, 14 to 1 and ‘spring chick- ens, 25 to 40; dressed old fowls, 10 to 14, and live, 6 to 10; capons, 14 to dressed ducks, 10 to 14, and live, 8 to 12; dressed Beese, § to 10, and live, 7 to 9. The increase in the supply is daily noted, but the demand is correspondingly active, while prices show a slight decline. Cucum- b 50 to cents a dozen; kale, 20 to cents a barrel; new peas, $2 to $2.50 per box; Florida beans, $1 to $1.25 a box; as Pparagus, $2 to $4.50 a dezen; lettuce, $1.50 to barrel; new Irish potatoes, 3% to $7.50 a barrel; old stock, 30 to 90 cents a bushel; sweets, $1.25 to $2.75 a barrel; Flor- ida tomatoes, $4 to s a crate; cabbage $6 to $18 per hundred; turnips, 60 to 7: cents a barrel; apples, $2 to $6 a barre!
