Another Washington Composer Elect- ed te Membership in the New York Manuscript Socicty—Other Items. Last winter Washington had grand Ital- fan opera, but, the German company under the conduct of Mr. Walter Damrosch did mot come here. Next winter, however, it is learned that Mr. Damrosch will bring his company to this city. Mr. Damrosch will give a five months’ season, opening Novem- ber 18 in Chicago, and reaching Washing- ton in January. The v-nture will be on a much more brilliant and elaborate scale than last year, the list of artists already engaged assuring first-class productions. Among them are Frau Katharine Klafsky of Hamburg and Fri. Ternina of Munich, the two greatest dramatic sopranos of Ger- many today; Fri. Johanna Gadski, who be- came such a favorite with the company last year; Herr Wilhelm Gruening, the great tenor from Hamburg, probably the best exponent of the heroic tenor roles in Germany today; Demeter Popovici, the bar- itone who achieved such remarkable suc- cess in Bayreuth last summer; Herr Emil Fischer and Herr Conrad Behrens, the two reliable Wagnerian singers of last year’s company; Mr. Wm. Mertens, a noted young baritone of New York; Miss Mina Schilling and Miss Marie Maurer of last year’s com- pany, and Mr. Barron Berthald, the young cence gene so successfully essayed the part of Lohengrin in Boston upon such short no- tice. Negotiations are also pending with Herr Rothmuhl, the ter r of last season; a famous baritone; also a well-known prima donna, which will complete the list of prin- cipais, and the company will number in all one hundred and seventy people. Herr Carl Harder will be the stage manager, as be- fore, and, the company will carry ‘scenery for all the operas, now being painted by Kautski of Vienna. In addition to the seven music dramas given last year (‘Tristan and Isolde,” “Die Walkuri “Siegfried,” Spa Gotterdammerung,” ‘“Tanrhauser, ne hengrin” and “Die Meistersinger’’), company, will also give “The Flying Daten: man,” “Fidelio” (by Beethoven), “Der Frieschutz” (by Weber), and “The Scarlet Letter” (in English), by Walter Damrosch, an opera founded on Hawthorne's great ro- mance. The last high mass for the summer at Immaculate Conception Church will be the celebration of the feast of Corpus Christi tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The musical part of the service is under the direction of Mrs. Clara B. Smith, and will be very fine. Beethoven's Grand Mass, in C, will be sung by the full choir, aided by the Georgetown Orchestra. The offertory will be Rossini’s Inflammatus, the solo sung by Mrs. Smith. There will be a procession of Sund: children, during which the hymn, Verum,” will be sung. At the adoration of the host Waldecker’s “O Salutaris” will be sung by Mrs. Ralph Barnard. At the clese of the mass the grand march from Tannhauser will be given by the orchestra, under the direction of Prot. Herman Reke- mann, with Prof. A. D. Mayo at the organ. Grand vespers will be sung at 7 p.m. Prof. Geo. W. Lawrence is preparing to give his annual pupils’ musicale on the 28th instant, at the Church of Our Father. Prof. Lawrence will be assisted by Mrs. Daisy Louise Fox, pianist. Mrs. Fox, it will be remembered, obtained first prize at the Columbian exposition for her beautiful touch and technique. The program will be almost entirely operatic, and the vocal numbers are taken from “Ernani,” “Car- men,” “Robin Hood” and other standard operas. Mrs. Zaidee Jones Smith will, it is under- stood, return to this city and resume her former place as solo soprano in St. Mat- thew’s Church choir next fall, A short time ago there was published a Mst of names that had been submitted to the New York Manuscript Society as eligi- ble to membership. How many have been elected is not known, but it !s ascertained that Mr. D. G. Pfeiffer has been accepted by that society, and the composition that he submitted, “A Spanish Dance,” was highly complimented. Mr. Pfeiffer had quite a successful career as a pianist and composer of songs and pianoforte compositions, His musical abilities come to him by inheritance from his father, John P. Pfeiffer, wiio was one of the old- school German musicians and a band lead- er for many years, and from his grand- uncle, Johann Pfeiffer of Bonn, Germany, who was one of the first teachers of the master, Beethoven. Mr. Pfeiffer began his studies under his father at an early age, who taugnt him piano-forte and theory of music, together with harmony and thor- ough bass; later he studied with his uncle, Jean M. Pfelffer, in Frankfort, Germany, in the art ofgcomposition and musical form. His Uncle Jean was at -his time kapel- meister at Frankfort and a composer of reputation. Mr. Pfeiffer made several con- certizing trips as solo pianist, appearing before the teachers’ convention at Balti- more, and on one occasion at the White House before President Harrison and mem- bers of his cabinet. Among his best-known ons may be mention~d his Spanish Desio,”" “Gertie “The Love That Lives Alway;” the quar- tet, “Rock of Ages,” and a number of other songs and lighter piano pieces. Mr. Pfeiffer was at one time the conductor of an ama- teur opera company in this city, and pro- duced some very meritorious performances of light opera with local talent entirely. He is a valued member of the board of directors of the Choral Society and a mem- ber of the Washington board of trade. —_ Making Advertixements Interesting. Charies Austin Bates in Printers™ Ink. If there’s anything that gives a paper a stale and uninteresting appearance it is a great array of standing advertisements. People now-a-days are interested in ad- vertisements, and they care to read the paper whose advertising columns give evi- dence of the most life and enterprise. I be- Keve that the Washington Star owes a great deal of its hold on its readers to the fact that its advertising columns are kept bright and fresh and readable. I don’t know of a paper in the United States which has so liberal local advertising patronage, I don’t think this is because the merchants of Washington are any more enterprising than the merchants of other places. I think the condition is due to the efforts of The Star In having the advertisements changed and taken care of, It is the custom of a great many mer- chants throughout the country to subscribe for some Philadelphia paper for the pur- pose of getting points from the advertising. These same merchants, and many others, would find the money well invested should they subscribe for The Washington Star for the same purpose. A Movement With Hope in It. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Yo a “looker-on in Venice,” it would ap- pear that the Law and Order League of Prof. Geo. W. Cook, which is organized to train the young colcred people to seek not only legitimate occupations, but legitimate diversiors—in short, io exhibit some of the pleasures of virtue—may be expected to have more ethical effect on the community than the wrenching of men and women cut of their homes for three months of dis- ceful servitude, under the “Edmunds workhouse or quite the ‘se than folly to Thou shalt not” to the idle and un- iplined, Begin with the young; and give to Prof. Cook all possible preciation, RUTH G. b.

EXCURSIONS. * Marshall Hall will afford rest and pleas- ure to those people desiring to spend a day out of the city tomorrow. The green lawns of this resort are only one of the many at- tractive features that it possesses, and they are all well known to many thousands of the citizecs of Weshington. Amuse- ments for tcth the young and old are pro- vided for here, and Prof. Schroeder's band will add to the complete enjoyment by rendering a choice selection all day and evening at the grounds. Once more the announcement is made that it is hoped to have the Ferris wheel rurning by next Svnday, the only thing to be added to make it completed beirg the motive power. The steamer Macalester will leave at 11 a.m., and 6:30 p.m., and the River Queen at 9 a.m., 1 and 4:30 p.m. Stops will be made at Fort Washington both ways on all trips except on the 6:30 boat. “River View and the camp’ will be the slogan tomorrow, for these two places will be the important points of public interest. The soldier bcys will step across the boun- dary line that separates warfare and pleas- ure and mingle with their friends, who will journey to River View to meet them. Capt. Randall promises ample transportation, and will send the Pentz Sunday on three fast trips, leaving at 10:45 a.m., 2:45 and 545 p.m. After landing at River View the Pentz will continue direct to Fort Wash- ington. On return trips the Pentz leaves the camp at 12:45, 5 and 8 p.m., stopping at River View both ways. Fare, round trip, 25 cents; fure one way, 15 cents. Arth’s splendid band will add to the day’s pleas- ure, together with the vast aggregation of amusements, and will make beautiful River View and the citizen soldier very much in evidence tomorrow. A trip to salt water and within a few hours’ ride is surely a treat, and a good many people are sure to take advantage of it, Judging from the large number that vis- ited Bay Ridge last Sunday. The bathing beach here is surpassed by none of the watering resorts for many miles around on the bay, and crabbing, beating and fishing are a few other sports that may be en- joyed at Bay Ridge. The toboggan slide, which extends a hundred feet into the wa- ter, and the Ferris whcel were patronized by an unusually large number last Sunday, and a delightful sail to Baltimore and re- turn may be enjoyed on the steamer Co- lumbia. Trains will leave the Baltimore and Ohio depot at 9:35 a.m., 1:30 and 3:15 p.m. When the Elks give an excursion down the river they are always accompanied by many of their friends. Next Monday this organization will give its first excursion of the season to River View for the bene- fit of their charity fund, and arrange- ments have been made to make the day complete in all ways. A literary and musi- cal entertainment will be given, together with a stereopticon exhibition of new and novel views. There is no reason why a pleas- ant day may not be spent. Music will be furnished by Arth’s band, and the steamer Samuel J. Pentz will leave at 9:45 a.m., 1:45 and 6:30 p.m., and the Harry Ran- dall at 7 p.m. The pilots of the Potomac river and the marine engineers will give their second annual excursion to River View Tuesday next, and the fearless pilots and trust- worthy engineers have the vast public as their friends, who appreciate the fact that while traveling their lives are in their keeping. A large number of tickets have been sold and the Pentz will make three trips, leaving on schedule time. Post No. 1, John A. Rawlings, G. A. R., Department of Potomac, will give one of its delightful excursions to Bay Ridge next Tuesday, on which occasion special fea- tures and attractions will be given and the comfort and pleasure of all will be care- fully looked aftcr by the committee of ar- rangemenis,which include such well known comrades as Newton Ferree, A. S. Taber, Wm. D. Mack, Thos. R. Sheppard and Charles C. Boyd, from elther of whom tickets can be obtained. The trip up Ch apeake Bay to Baltimore and return, gi ing the excusionists several hours at Bay Ridge, is one of the features of this en- Joyable excursion. The Beneficial Association of Public Butidings and Grounds will give their sec- ond family excursion to River View on Thursday, June 20. An exhibition of fancy dancing will be given by the pupils of Miss Marion Proctor’s Academy, and there will be an amateur waltzing contest, for which two handsome gold medals will be given. Twenty handsome medals will also be given for chiidren's games. All previous excursions of this association have proved to be a success and this ore will not be behind. ‘The National Rifles give an excursion to Morstall Hall Monday, which,it is thought, will be one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season. The proceeds of the excur- sion will be used to defray the expenses of the organization on their proposed St. Louis trip, and it is hoped by all the mem- bers that their friends will turn out in force to help them. The Rifles hope to gain both glory and cash in St. Louis at the interstate drill, and their friends are contident that they will not be disappoint- ed. The Macalester will leave her wharf at 6:30 sharp. "The palace steamer City of Richmond will leave her wharf, foot of 6th street, row at 9 a.m. for a pleasant ride to Colonial Beach, where an enjoyable time is expected by all who avail themselves of this trip. Endless attractions are always on hand, and the bathing and fishing at this well-known resort can compete with any other place on the Potomac. Music will be aboard the boat and at Colonial Beach An excursion will be given to Marshall Hall on next Thursday by Encampment No. 69, U. V. L., and promises to be one of the most enjoyable that has been given for some time. Nothing has been left out to add to the comfort of all who go on this excursion, and besides a choice musical program ‘Corporal Tanner will deliver a talk. Boats leave at 10 a.m., 2:30 and 6:30 pm. ‘Tomorrow the steam launch Florence will make her usual trips to Cabin John bridge. These are delightful sails up the Potomac and have been enjoyed by many. The boat leaves 32d and Canal streets at 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. The steamer Macalester will leave her wharf at 6:30 o'clock this evening for a sail to Indian Head. Judging from the num- bers who avall themselves of these trips it is safe to say they are enjoyable. Begin- ning this evening the Macalester will stop at Fort Washington on this trip both ways, thus giving all a chance to stop off. Prof. Schroeder's band will be in attend- ance. —— AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House.—Frederic Bond and company will inaugurate the eighth and closing week of the comedy season at the Grand Opera House on Monday evening. The first half of the week, Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday evenings, the company will present a new three-act comedy, en- titled “American Assurance.” The latter half of the week will be devotéd to re- vivals of the »eason’s successes, and the following repertoire will be given: Thurs- day evening, ‘““My Wife’s Mother; Friday evening and Saturday matinee, “My A ful Dad," and Saturday evening, “Pink Domi The charming little fantasy, “Romeo's First. Love,” in which Miss Blanche Walsh has made such a decided hit, will be repeated during the coming week at every performance. Seats are now on sale for the closing week and farewell night, previous to Frederick Bond and com- pany’s initial tour of the United States and Canada. New National Theater.—The bill for next week at the New National Theater will be “Our Regiment,” a comedy in which the excellent stock company will be seen to ad- vantage. Miss V song recital of ~ Wilson’s pu- pils was given last evening at Metzerott ‘Music Hall,the edifice being crowded by the friends of those who showed their excel- in voice culture. The ladies’ chorus ck’s “Concert Waltz” in good style, and later rendered the familiar “Estudian- una.” The Cecilian Ladies’ Quartet, com- prising Misses Thompson, Nye, Pillsbury and Mrs. C. B. Keene, gave two selections that charmed their hearers. Miss Bertie Thompson gave Mignon’s song in good style, while the other soloists cf the even- ifg were Miss Robert,Miss Gertrude Bangs, Miss Helen Nye and’ Miss Pillsbury. Miss Wilson sang Arditi’s “Love in Springtime,” with violin obligato by Miss Bertha Luca: She also sang the duet from “Il Trova: tore’ with Mr. Wilson. Miss Jessie V. Keer occupied the hard position of accom: panist very creditably. A Lawn Fete.—The Young People’s Temple Association are to give a lawn fete on the grounds of the Eighth Street Temple, in aid of the building fund of the new temple, next Tuesday evening. a Cairo Roof Garden for @vol breezes.—Advt. tomor-, WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET. A Firm, Well-Supplied Market—Prices Stationary. A great abundance of products and gen- erally stationary prices are the features of the local wholesale produce market today. Prices have not advanced during the past week, except, perhaps, in one or two in- stances, ard new potatoes, southern to- matoes, cabbage and eggs are today lower than a week ago. Butter is quite firm and difficult to hold. Thei high prices for beef are still maintained, other meats being held in sympathy with beef. Advices from the west, particularly in:the butter-producing sections, state thati the season has been a very dry one, and that grass and grain will be more or less injured. Future prices in butter and beef will, therefore, probably be advanced. The market today is an ex- cellently supplied one, and it is firm and active. The difficulty in obtaining fine grades of butter noticed last week continues, and while a great deal is arriving, the fine goods are quickly snapped up by specula- tors. Parties purchasing large quantities to store away do not object to paying an advance of one-fourth to one-half of a cent for fine goods. The market, therefore, is quite firm, with future prices depending very much upon the weather. So far the hot weather has had but little effect, and, despite the heat, the quality of goods has been and is much better than that looked for. For fancy Elgin creamery and other western extras, 20 cents a pound are asked today; choice, 18; firsts, 16; seconds, 15; fancy creamery print, 23 to 25; dairy print, 16 to 18; and Maryland and Virginia print, 14 to 16; western dairy, best, 12 to 13, and good, 9 to 10; Maryland and Virginia creamery, 16 to 17, and good to prime, 11 to 13; bakers’ stock, 131%. Old cheese is no longer quoted, being practically out of the market. New stock, of fair quality, is offered at from 9 to 10 cents a pound. > BS8S have dropped since last week just 2 cents a dozen, and today 13 cents are asked. They are not firm, and while no material decline is probable, a rise would not be unexpected.. Goods are coming in considerably heated and of not fine quality. Prices for poultry are about as last quoted. Receipts are large, and the de- mand is active, a firm market resulting. Live winter chickens sell at from 12 to 16 cents a pound, and spring chickens from 16 to 20. Old stock from 6 to 8 Ducks, 8 to 10, and geese, 6 to & The arrivals’ of vegetables and fruits grow larger, and the tendency of prices is downward. Prices today, however, show but slight changes: Cucumbers, 75 cents to $1.50 a box; kale, 20 to 35 cents a barrel; new peas, $1 per box; Georgia beans, 75 cents to $1 a box; asparagus, 50 cents to $1 a dozen; lettuce, $1.50 to $2.a barrel; new Trish Potatoes, $2.50 to $3.50 a barrel; old stock, 30 to 75 cents a bushel; sweets, ‘$1.25 to $2.75 a barrel; Florida tomatoes, $1.75 to $2 a crate; cabbage, 50 cents to $1 a barrel; beets, $2 to $4 per 100 bunches; turnips, oO to 75 cents a barrel; apples, $2 to $6a bar- rel; California oranges, $3.50 to $4; Mes- sina, $3 to $4 a box, and Valencia, $4 to $4.50 a case; strawberries, 14 to 8 cents a a whortleberries, 13 to 7; cherries, 10 Beef and other meats are practically at the same prices today as a week ago, and no indications of a change one way or the other are looked for. From 2% to 6 1-4 cents a pound are quoted for live cattle; sheep, 3 to 3 3-4; lambs, 3 1-2 to 4 and spring lambs, 6 1-2 to 7 3-4; cows with calves $20 to $10 each; calves, 3 to 6 cents a pound; dressed calves, 5 to 9; sheep, 4 to 6; country sugar-cured hams, 9 to 11. — Steamer Macalester to Marshall Hall and Indian Head, Friday and Saturday even- ings, at 6:30 o’clock.—Advt. ‘ FROM THE MOMENT OF BIRTH USE CUTICURA SOAP.
