Eber- lass Beach on Decoration day, sult was filed late yesterday afternoon by the Peo- ple's T. yortation Company against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, who are alleged to control the steamer, in which $10,000 damages are claimed. The steamer {s said to be under lease to the plaintitt company pending a sale, the rall- road company retaining control by emplo ing the officers and crew, the transporta- tlon comp@iy paying them, however. Upon the filing of the suit Judge Cole directed the marshal to take possession of the steamer pending the filing of a bond by the railroad company. ne’ The Cairo Root Garden.

There Are Over a Thousand Members and Sixty-Two Lectures Were Given During the Past Season. The Nazional Gccgraphic Society held its last business meeting of the year at the Cosmes Club last evening. Few were there, but the meeting was an important and in- teresting cne. The reports of the various officers were especially gratifying to those who Fave tho welfare of this large and most useful society at heart. It was shown that from a membership of 205 {n 1888, when the society was first organized, there has been a steady increase, until now there are 1,193 members. And in the work done equally important progress is apparent. There were eighteen lectures, for instance, during the winter of 18%, and during the past season there have been sixty-two. All of these lectures were greeted by immense audiences, thronging the hall until even standing room wits exhausted. Need of a Large Hall. For some of the lectures no auditorium sufficientlf large could be had. The series or course of lectures styled “A Trip Across the Continent” will doubtless be longest re- membered in connection with the seasoa of 1804-5, and it was a remarkable concep- tion, splendidly executed. It embraced seven meetings, with two lectures at each meeting, all of the fourteen lectures being finely illustrated, and the lecturers them- selves being persons of national reputation. The field day excursion this year, which was devoted to a general study of the town and battlefield of Fredericksburg, was one of the most enjoyable known in the history of the society. Election of Officers. The election of officers happily resulted in the re-election of Mr. Gardiner G. Hub- bard as president and of Lieut. Everett Hayden as recording secretary. To the un- tiring and wise @fforts of these gentlemen a large share of the success of the society, especially in its lecture season, is due. Their re-election is the good fortune of the public. The following vice presidents were elect- ed: C. W. Dabney, jr., assistant secretar, of agriculture; H. G. Ogden, coast and geodetic survey; Gen. A. W. Greely, chief signal service; C. Hart -Merriam, Agricul- tural Department; W. W. Rockhill, isst- ant secretary of state, and Henry Gannet, chief topographer United States geological survey; board of managers, Marcus Bak. United States geological survey; G. H. Gilbert, chief geographer, United States geological survey; John Hyde, statistical expert, Agricultural Department; Prof. W. J. McGee, bureau of ethnology; F. H. New- ell, chief hydrographer, United States geo. logical survey; Prof. W. B. Powell an John R. Proctor; treasurer, C. J. Bell; re- cording secretary, Everet_ Hayden responding secretary, Miss E. R. Scidmore. Prosperous Condition. The reports of the treasurer, Mr. C. J. Bell, and secretary, Lieut. Everett Hay- den, showed the society to be in a highly Prosperous condition—so much so, in fact, that it is probable that the course of spe- celal or popular lectures will hercafter be held in Metzerott Hall. Of the present members, 365 were elected during ihe past year. One of the vice presidents, Mr. W. W. Rockhill, assistant secretary of state, is distinguished for his explorations in Thibet, for which he was awarded the gould medal of the Royal Geographical Society. He has been appointed by the State Department a delegate to the international geograph- ical congress In London this summer, and will co-operate with the delegation of ‘the Natlonal Geographic Society in a strong effort that will be made to persuade the congress to hold its next meeting in this Aty—probably in 189s. Likely to Be Held Here. Letters were read in favor of this invi- tation from the Acting Secretary of State, the Commissioners of the’ District, the sec- retary of the Smithsonian and the presi- dent of Johns Hopkins, and there ts every n to believe that the next meeting of this great congress will be held here. A party is being formed to attend the Lon- m congress this summer (July 26 August 3), to sail on the fast steamer Ni . and the secretary wishes ire to Join the party and ge of the special rates to in- form him at their earliest convenience. he program for the meeting in London is one of great interest. The s 's delega- ton ¢ of Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, Wm. T. Harris, Miss E.R. more, Mr. Cyrus C. Adams, and Mr. by S. Noyes, and it is hoped that Gen. John W. Foster, now in China, will attend on his way home. The larger the party the more likely is the invitation to meet here to receive favorable consideration, and it is hoped that many more members will go. After acting upon pending amendments to the by-laws and the transaction of other routine business the society adjourned. Tomorrow many people will undoubtedly make up their minds to spend the day out of the city at some quiet retreat, where they will be able to escape the heat, and Marshall Hall is the place where one can spend a comfortable day. The spacious green lawns for which this resort is weli knewn by its many patrons afford a day of rest and pleasure which is hard to be excel- led. A musica] souvenir program will be pre- sented to everybody who goes aboard the steamer Macalester or River Queen tomor- row, and it is expected that the Ferris wheel, which has been in course of erection for sore months past, will be running to- morrow. Prof. Schroeder's band will add to the enjoyment of those who visit Marshall Hall tomorrow by rendering many fine selections, and the Macalester will leave at 1l am, 2:30 and 6:30 p.m., and the River Queen at 3 p. m. The annual outing of the Saengerbund will take place tomorrow at River View. There will be presented a varied program of music and sports by the members of this popular organization, and if the past efforts of the Saengerbund are any criterions, to- morrow will be a gala one with the jolly Germans. Capt. Handall will send the Pentz on three fast trips, leaving at 10:45 a.m., 2:45 and 5:45 p.m. The many amuse- ments and the lovely suroundings at beau- tiful River View will make tomorrow an ideal Sunday. On next Monday Holy Name Command- ery, No. 248, R. C. U., Knights of St. John, will give an’ excursion to Marshall Hall. A special list of attractions has been provided for that day, and in all probabilities this will prove to be one of the most enjoyable excursions given this year. The steamer calester will leave at 9:30 a.m., 2:30 and ) p.m, The steamer City of Richmond will leave this evening at 6 o’cleck for a delightful moonlight sail to Colonial Beach, and this is the first that has been given this year to the beach. Those who avail themselves of this trip will be able to spend all day Sunday at this place. The boat also makes another trip to the beach tomorrow morn- ing, leaving at 9 o'clock, and returning at 10:30 p.m. A moonlight excursion will be given by Hamline M. Church on Wednesday, June 5, to Indian Head, and judging from the large number of tickets already sold for the occasion it will no doubt prove to be a suc in every way. Refreshments will be sold on board the boat by the ladies of the church, and the Harry Randall leaves at ) p.m. It is hard to find a more pleasant sail down the Potomac than that to Indian Head. The Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall Steamboat Company has already com- menced trips to this place, and the Mac- alester will leave her wharf this evening on her regular Saturday evening trip at ). Stops will be made at Marshall Hall oth ways, and everything to insure com- fort is found here. There will be music by Prof. Schroeder's Band. aabrie ae ae Valuable business property, No. 3250 M or Bridge street, opposite the market Georgetown, wili be sold on Wednesda: June 5, at 5 o'clock.

AMUSEMENTS, Grand Opera House.—During the coming week at the Grand Opera House Frederic Bond end company will present the three- act farcical comedy, “My Wife's Mother.’ The play abounds in bright dialogue and mirth provoking situations, and will form a delightful vehicle with which to inaugu- rate the sixth week of the company’s suc- cessful run. Miss Blanche Walsh, who is well known to Washington theater goers and whose beauty and talents are every- where appreciated, will make her first ap- pearance as leading lady of the organiza- tion on Monday evening. New National Theater._The attraction at the New National Theater next week will be the three-act comedy, “An Awful Affair,” in which the whole strength of the company will appear. This company seems to have firmly engrafted itself in the gcod will of the Washington theater goers, and, as the play which will be presented next week is a good one, full of life and .sparkling with bright sayings, there is no reason why it should not be a successful one. Charles Coote, Charles Bowser, Jos. Wheelock, jr, Charles Mackay, Percy Brooke, Alfred Hudson, Percy ’ Winter, Lillian’ Lawrence, Mary ‘Sanders, Frances Stevens, Fanny Addison Pitt, Margaret Dibden ‘and Helena Chalmers will be seen in the production. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Next Mon- day night will mark the opening of,a gala week at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater, the at- tractions being the White Crook Burlesque Company, a grand boxing carnival and a high-class variety entertainment and select concert in the summer garden. The White Crook Company is an organization describ- ed as one of the best in existence, and be- sides a number of well-known burlesque stars it includes an aggregation of spe- clalty artists, every one of whom has at- tained an eminent position in their chosen profession. Among the names appearing on the roster are Lena LeCouvier, Ward and Leslie, Emma Rosa Lee, Willard and Brown, Lamont and Love, Sanford and Lee, Geo. Keer and Miss Pearl Bradburn. A feature of the performance will be the original burlesque, entitled “The White Crook,”” which will introduce a coterie of pretty girls in natty costumes and several clever comedians. After every perform- ance there will be a ten-round boxing con- test, that of Monday night being between Jack Daly of Wilmington and Billy Paine of Philadelphia. The garden, after several weeks of labor; now presents a most in- viting appearance; a stage has been erect- ed at its south end, and one will be able to enjoy an excellent entertainment in the pee There will be but one admission to all. Innes’ Rand.—The most pleasant exper- lence awaits those who attend the Innes musical festival at Convention Hall, June 6 and 7. Miss Martha Garrison Miner, one of the leading sopranos of the party, is said to be a marvelous soprano, who is just starting out on a career bound to be very brilliant. She is a charming young lady, whose clear, high soprano voice is a marvel; pure, sweet anl flexible to the highest degree, and absolutely flawless: throughout its range. It will be a great treat to hear such a fresh voice, and it is predicted that Miss Miner will .create a Sensation. There are. alsé seven other fine singers: Miss A. M. Weed, the great dramatic soprano of the Abbey Opera Com- pany; Miss Wichman, the well-known con- tralto of New York; Miss MacNeill, a cele- brated contralto from the west; Mr. C. C. Ferguson, the favorite New York tenor: Mr. W. A. Zanten, a tenor of national repu- tation; Mr. F. F. Seton, the famous basso; and Mr. Ethan Allen, who comes fresh from achieving a European success as the pme basso of the Carl Rosa Opera Com- anv. Prof. Pearman’s Concert.—The concert at the Universalist Church last evening, by Prof. T. Willlams-Pearman, was an’ ex- ceedingly enjoyable affair. "The program was well arranged and all the numbers were well performed. The vocalists were Mrs. Kitty Thompson Berry, who sang finely Gounod’s “Ave Marie,” with harp ac- companiment and violin obligato; Mrs. Rheem, who sang “Down on the Sands” with expression and feeling; Miss Edna Scott Smith, who gave an excellent in- terpretation of the gavotte from “Mignon;” Miss Mary Lockhart, who gave a dainty rendition of the waltz song from ‘Romeo and Prof. Pearman himself, whose numbers were all given with that clearness of tone and artistic finish that have placed him in the front rank of tenor singers in the District. Dr. Bischoff gave an organ solo and played the accompani- ment for Miss Smith. Miss Anita Cluss gave two harp solos in her usual masterly manner and accompanied Mrs. Berry and Mr, Pearman in one of his numbers. Miss Roberta Allen gave a violin solo, di laying good technique and true musicianly feeling, and Miss Jesste Vivien Kerr's performance of Mendelssohn's “Rondo Capriccioso” was highly commendable. Miss Amy C, Leavitt was an effective accompanist. Lawrence's Organ Recital—Large and airy, with plenty of breeze blowing through its wide-open windows, Waugh M. E. Church was not an uncomfortable place t night, as far as temperature was con- cerned, and because of an interesting pro- gram which had been arranged for Mr. John Porter Lawrence's organ recital the state of the thermometer was almost un- thought of oy the large audience present. Waugh Church is prcud in the possession of a new Brown organ, a fine instrument, susceptible of many combinations, with rare purity of tone and quality and quan- tity of volume. Brief religious exercises preceded the musical program, the audi- ence singing the Long Meter Doxology, and the prstor of the church, Rey. 5. Olin Eldricge, offering prayer. It is unneces- sary to make any comment on the work of Mr. Lawrence, as his ability to bring forth harmonies from the organ, his own especial irstrument, 1s fully known to every music lover in the city. His program was well se- lected, and included such varied numbers as Chopin's Prelude and Polonaise, Bach's Teceata and Fugue in D minor, Boccherini’s Minuet, Mendelssohn’s Spring Song and Rubenstein’s Melodies and Romanza. Miss Gertrude Dara assisted, with a soprano solo, delightfully rendered, and Mr. W. D. McFarland sang the beautiful tenor solo from Mendelssonn’s oratorio of St. Paul, “Be Theu Faithful Unto Death.” Follow- ing this, Mr. Lawrence brought out the power of the organ in his rendition of the cverture to “Semiramide,” and the eyen- ing’s entertainment closed with the singing of “America” by the entire audience. Sheldon’s May Ball.—Sheldon’s annual May ball took place at Metzerott Music Hall last night, the dancing being intro- duced in the last ac. of the pretty Cinder- ella ballet. In this Miss Nellle Hunt, as the Prince, and Miss Annie Pearle Evans as the Fairy Godmother, did some very clever work. Prof. Sheldon took the part of the father of the two spiteful sisters, and as such superintended the dancing. Edna Hurst as Cinderella, and Alice Nor- ris and Tille Schneider as the two sisters, were very good. In tke dancing mention should be made of Nellie Hunt's work. La Gitana was given very prettily by Gertie Peach and Zoe Rigby. La Danse de Jupe, in which Edna Danforth, a diminutive lit. tle tot; Edna Hurst, Leona Dietz, Emily Webster, Marie Parks, Alice Norris, Sarah Richardson, Nellie Campbell and’ Hallie Oliver took part, was exceedingly well re- ceived. Miss Nellie Hunt danced the L’Ariel in a manner which called forth the of the house. Pas de Trois by Tillle Schneider, Aida Seal and Lillie Hughes, and Rigadoon by Prof. Sheldon and Misses Schneider and Norris, were also well received. This part of the ball closed with the march of the Royal Guard, af-er which the audience participated in @ pro- gram of thirteen dances, the front part of the hall being cleared for that purpose. Most of the Washington professional p: ple are now here to spend their summer v. cation at home. Robt. Downing and his wife are at their charming country home near Benning, and there may be seen on the avenue Wm. Boag, the Waterbu: brothers, Walter Stetson and Caryl S. W: bur, known to his friends as Wilbur C. Sharpe. A Garden Party.—The ladies of the Na- tional Homeopathic Hospital Association give thelr annual garden party at Chevy Chase Inn on Friday, June 7, from 4 to 11 p.m. Those who attended last year will remember the pleasant company, the glori- ous moonlight and the many attractions of that lovely spot. There will be fine music, and in the evening dancing by all so in- clined. While the tickets are enly 85 cents they have coupons entitling the holder to the ride from 7th and U streets tg the inn and return, and also to the dancing priv- lleges. These tickets can be procured from Mrs. Clephane, 1225 K gtreet, and from members of the board of managers. Re- freshments a la carte will be served by the ladies. The reception committee in- cludes Mrs. John Dalzell, Mrs. Frances Colton, Mrs. Beriah Wilkins, Mrs. Seaton Perry, Mrs. Dr. Gardner, Mrs. Willard Warner and Mrs. Arthur P. Gorman. — Attention Is called to elegant residence on Connecticut avenue extended—on the heights—advertised for rent. It is a rare opportunity to secure a beautiful home. Apply to J. B, Wimer.—Advt. IN MUSICAL CIRCLES Advantage to Washington Musicians That Would Accrue From a Manusoript Society. The Choral Society Trying to Arrange a Circuit for Orchestra and So- loists — Other Items. The Manuscript Society of New York is an organization that admits three classes of membership—active, professional and as- sociate. The active membership includes musical composers, and each applicant must submit a work in polyphonic writing to the music committee of the board of di- rectors. Professional singers and instru- mentalists are eligible and those who are interested in music and its progress and development, either as critics or from a dilettante standpoint, can become associate members. The object of the society is to advance the interests of American musical composition and to promote social inter- course and friendly feeling among its mem- bers, Mr. Ernest Lent of this city is one of the honorary corresponding secretaries and several of his compositions have been performed by the society at its concerts, three of which are given each year. ‘There are also six private monthly meet- ings, which are intended only for mem- bers end their friends, and these are said to be very delightful aifairs. Mr. Lent has sent on a list of Washington musicians who desire to become members of this so- clety, and this includes the names of An- ton Gloetzner, Harry Wheaton Howard, John Porter Lawrence, Dr, J. W. Bischoff, Henry Xander, D. G. Pfelffer, Robert Stein and i. Ware. Mr. Lent, who has been a member of the society for five years, be- lieves that a branch society might be form- ed that would prove of decided advantage. “The trouble with Washington musi- cians,” said a gentleman, who himself stands high in musical circles, and is a per- former of superior merit, “is that each goes in his own way, without regard to any one else. On this account he naturally gets into a rut; while if all the musicians, or the Lest of them, would meet occasion- ally and exchange views, they would get new ideas, and would have additional stim- ulus in their work. Mrs. E. Z. Perkins will give a students’ rusicale at the Cairo Flats next Wednes- day evening, and the program that will be presented will be very attractive. Those who will take part are Mrs. Hawkins J. Taylor, Miss Caroline Hall, Miss Amy Law, Miss Ella Myers, Miss Annie Ring, Miss Alys Bentley, Miss Ivy Hewitt, Miss Rose Dillon, Miss Florence Holtzman, Miss Lena Freeman, Miss Bessie Blount, Miss Louise Moeller, Miss Harriet Draper, Miss Myrtille Dexter, the Washington Lady Quartet and Mr. Wilbur Delano. Mrs. Sam Cross will be the accompanist. Mrs. H. H. Mills has reason to congratu- late herself on the progress made by her pupils, particularly Miss Alice Judson, who, it is understood, will sing Iola in the Ca‘ alleria Rusticana in Baltimore with the Hinrichs Company. While this is not a great part, it is one that requires careful attention and the neatest kind of acting. Miss Judson showed by the impersonation of Laughing Eyes in “Si Lootah” that she possessed considerable dramatic ability and that one day she would be a bright sou- brette. The difficulty that the Choral Soctety has had in securing a competent orchestra for its accompaniments has Induced the finance committee to direct correspondence with similar organizations in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond and other cities to see if a syndicate could not be arranged whereby the same orchestra and soloists could be engaged for the cir- cuit. The finance committee has been or- ganized by the election of Mr. D, G. Pfeif- fer as chairman and Mr. Charles Juness as_ secretary. There has also been appointed a commit- tee to take Into consideration the matter of a hall in which to give the concerts of the society during next season. Conven- tion Hail is deemed out of the question during the winter months, but it is among the possibilities that “The Messiah” may be given in the new Lafayette Square The- ater. Mr. John Porter Lawrence will present his pupils before the public tonight at the Chureh of Our Father. Last year Mr Law- rence’s pupils furnished one of the most enjoyable musicales of the late season, and there is every reason to expect that both program and execution will be fully as attractive tonight. Mr, Anton Gloetzner will give his an- nual plano recital with his pupils at the Universalist Church next Tuesday evening. The program includes selections from the ? Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Tschaik- sky, | Scharwenka, Moch Reg Chopin, ‘Mendelssohn, Liszt and Gloetzr and the performers will be Misses Rowell, Goldschmid, Slater, Alden, Sigsbee, Lyon, Hestor, Freyhold and Mr, Gloetzner. In London, as in New York, Melba draws crowded houses by her superb vocalization. The great Australian prima donna began her engagentent at Covent Garden on May 25, singing Marguerite in “Faust” to an enormous audience, including the Prince and Princess of Wales and nearly all the notables of London society. Madame Melba will return to America in the autumn for an extended concert tour under the direc- tion of Charles A. Ellis. She will be sup- ported by a company of fine artists and a complete orchestra, and the programs will include an act of opera in costume. In the spring of '96 the company will go to the Pacific coast, and thence to Australia, Melba's home, where she has not been heard since here marvelous singing made her famous. ‘ Mrs. Kate Thyson Marr has received the advance sheets of her “Washington Fire Brigade March.” The Old Vienna Hungar- ian Band of the world’s fair complimented Mrs. Marr by playing it every day at the Columbian during her recent visit to New ork. ——.__. Admiral Almy’s Will. The will of the late Rear Admiral John J. Almy, dated November 13, 1886, was filed yesterday afternoon and appoints the widow of the deceased, Alida G. Almy, executrix. The insignia of the order of Kamehameha, presented to the deceased by the late King Kalakaua, is given to Charles J. Almy, a son, and a silver brick is given to another son, Wm. E. Almy, a third son, Augustus C. Almy, being given the swords, belts, uniforms and naval boaks of his father. The daughters, Ann E. and Sarah G.

The widow is to have life estate in the residue of the estate, and at her death it is to be divided among the children. Se Claims Damages. Thomas BE. Sullivan, who was injured at Muirkirk, Md., while alighting from a Baltimore and Ohio train there on the 17th of last June, has filed a suit against the railroad company, claiming $15,000 dam- ages, he having lost an arm because of what he claims was.the carelessness and negligence of the road. —.+—.

Prices today are, with very few excep- ticrs, lower than those of & week ago. Butter is one of the exceptions, being qucted today as it was a week ago, and showirg no indications of a decline. The market is one of the best of the year, the supply being bountiful and the demand ex- cellent. Vegetables are abundant, of good quality, and the gradually increasing yield is as gradually reducing prices. Strawber- ries are about at their Icwest, and whortle- berries are arriving to take their place. Cherries have made their appearance in sufficient quantities to be quoted, and will, it is thought, be quite plentiful. An im- menso yleld of blackberries is also expect- ed. Beef and kindred meats still maintain high rates, but poultry has experftenced quite a decline, and 1s plentiful. Butter is firm today at prices quoted last week, the condition of the market being the one looked for a week ago. There is a general demand for June butter for storing, and it is kept weil cleaned up, prices being influenced thereby. While liberal receipts are looked for, no decline in prices is an- Ucipated at this time. Advices from the west tell of a very dry season, one of the worst for grass in years. Today 20 cents a pound is asked for fancy Elgin creamery and other western extras; choice, 18; firsts, 16; seconds, 15; fancy creamery print, 2: to 25; dairy print, 16 to 18; and Maryland and Virgiria print, 14 to 16; western dairy, best, 12 to 13, and good, 9 to 10; Mary- land and Virginia creamery, 16 to 17, and geod to prime, 11 to 13; bakers’ stock, 124s. Old cheese 1s now virtually out of the market, very little of it being offered. The prices are, however, as last quoted. New York state full cream, large, 12 cents a pound; flats and ponys, 13, and new sto2k 9 to 10, the latter being plentiful, but irregu- Jar in quality. Eggs, because of the hot weather, are still weak, with prices from one-half to a cent lower than last week. Lower prices are anticipated. Today western and nearby fresh are 12 to 12% cents a dozen, and southern fresh, 11. Poultry this week is both plentiful and lower, spring chickens having experienced a fall of about 10 cents a pound, selling to- day from 18 to 20 cents a pound, and old stock from 5 to 10. Ducks, 8 to 9, and geese, 5 to 7. Vegetables and fruits are, on the whole, lower than last quoted, new potatoes being $1 lower per barrel. Cucumbers, $1.50 to $2.50 a box; kale, 20 to 35 cents a barre! new peas, $1 per box; Florida beans, cents to $1 a box; asparagus, 50 cents to $1 a dozen; lettuce, $1.50 to a barrel; new Irish potatoes, $2 to $4.50 a barrel; old stock, 30 to 75 cents a bushel; sweets, $1.25 to $2.75 a barrel; Florida tomatoes, $2 to H @ crate; cabbage, $1.50 to $2.50 a barrel; turnips, 60 to 75 cents a barrel; apples, $2 to $6 a barrel; California oranges, $3.50 to $4; Messina, $3 to $4 a box, and Valencia, $4 to $4.50 a case; strawberries, 3 to 10 cents a quart. Whortleberries, 12 to 15. Cherries, 10 to 12. The quotations in live stock and dressed meats are practically as they were last week, live cattle being quoted at from 2% to 6 cents a pound; sheep, 3 to 3%; lambs, 3% to 41% and spring lambs, 6% to 7%; cows, with calves, $20 to $40 each; calves, 3 to 6 cents a pound; dressed calves, 5 to 9; ghest 4 to 6; country sugar-cured hams, 9 0 11. ———— Our Srices Are Below Our Reputation.
