Considerable sympathy is expressed by those who know his condition for Mr. Law- rence M. Boyer, who was recently ar- Tested+ and subjected to trial on several charges in connection with his brother-in- law, Taylor, and also to the annofance of imprisonment for eighteen days. The legal investigation resulted in the acquittal of Boyer of every charge, and showed that he had been wrongfully aecused. His ar- fest and the publicity given it and to the charges against him resulted in putting an end to nis business, depriving him for the time -of the means of earning a living for himself and family. Since his ac- quittal Mr. Boyer has been quite ill, and altogether the case presents many features that excite sympathy. One of his neigh- bors in Anacostia speaking to a Star re- porter of Boyer’s case sald: “His loss only a year ago in the Knox fire, the heavy costs in fighting these cases and his con- finement have practically ruined his busi- ness and his health, and rather than he- come an object of charity he has been selling his furniture piece by piece to pay his debts. It is to be hoped that the busi- ness men of the city will not only extend to him the right hand of fellowship, but continue to give him their confidence as before. Mr. Boyer has passed through a fiery ordeal and is entitled to sympathy and respect. He has been honorably ac- juitted by judge and jury in both the lower nd higher courts, and his friends soon hope to see him around again, pushing his business as of old.” —>—_— For Divorce. A petition for divorce from George Jones has been filed by Madeline Jones, who states that they were married here August 15, 1876, and charges that her husband de- serted her willfully and without cause July 10, 1888. Permission to resume her maiden name of Curtis is also asked. —_o ‘Two Divorces Asked. A petition for divorce from Albert Lane has been filed hy Clementine Lane, who states that they were married here April 8, 1886, and charges her husband with cruelty. A divorce {s also asked by Sarah BE. for a separation from George, who pri John W. George. ‘The papers in this case were withheld from publication. —— A Will Fitea. The will of the late Margaret J. Paschall, @ated February 12, 1889, has been filed here, and two nephews, William Y. and John G. Atlee, are name as executors and prin- cipal beneficiaries. In a letter aceompany- ing the document, the deceased disposes of several small articles, including silver- ware, to a proposed home for widows under the New Jerusalem Church. ee Promoted to a Captain's Place.

Britton Reports on World’s - Fair Awards. What the Committee Did and Why— The System a Good One and Satisfactory. Interesting information, even to those who did not succeed in winning a medal or diploma at the latest of. the great ex- positions, is in the recently completed final report of the executive committee of awards of the world’s Columbian exposi- tion, a report written and submitted by Mr. A. T. Britton of this city, who since the retirement of Mr John Boyd Thacher— seriously indisposed—has been acting chair- man of the committee. The report shows that the committee did a great deal of very valuable work: “Conferred with the hon- orable Secretary of the Treasury concern- ing the medals and diplomas to be pro- vided by him; prepared rules and regula- tions to govern awards; adjusted differ- ences with the foreign commissions‘on ac- count of certain features of the system of awards which had been adopted; selected and appointed over 8 judges of awards, domestic and foreign, for all. departments of the exposition; assisted the several de- partmental committees of judges to make a systematic beginning and completion of their labors; and otherwise administered the affairs of the bureau of awards.” After discussing the manner in which awards had been made at prior exposi- tions, the report insists that the Colum- bian system of awards was absolutely fair, and was, in the light of experience, the best trat cculd possibly be devised. The report states that the measure of success is not determined, as some appear to have thought, “by the greatness in number of the awards granted, but rather by the extent to which justice was done the exhibits—that justice resulting from the comp-tency, thoroughness and fidelity of the judges, who discovered and made record of such real points of excellence as entitled an exhibit to commendation and final approval. Indeed, this competency and this faithfulness of the judges are, on the contrary, best determined by the few- ness of awards in proportion to the whole number of exhibits, if coupled with but few appeals from the decisions rendered. Correcting a Misnpprehenston. One of the misapprehersions cherished by those who opposed the non-competitive system of awards was that in the absence of conflicting interests and efforts on the pert of exhibitors—in other words, with freedom of action on the part of judges, possessing authority to grant as many awards as they should think deserving— there would be such an excess of awards as would cheapen their value. The result was exactly the reverse. The -responsibil- ity imposed upon the individual judge, first of declaring to ihe world his decision, over his own signature, and secondly of giving his recsons therefor, proved a mark- ed restraining influence; so that with about 250,000 exhibits and 65,422 exhibitors, and awards numbering but 23,586, the per cent of awards at Chicago was less than at any former international exhibition, as the fol- lowing statement will show: Proportion of Medals to Exhibitors. Per cent. London exposition of 1851..........- Paris exposition of 1855. Paris exposition of 1867. Vienna exposition of 15 Centennial exposition of 1876. Paris exposition of 1S7S. Paris exposition of 188 World's Columbian exposition. The total number of medals awarded for- eign countries was 13,740, and the total number of medals awarded the United States was 9,816, so that in all 23,586 med- als were bestowed. Foreign countries cap- tured 14,366 diplomas, while the United States secured po: fon of 10,622, mak- ing a total of 24,988 diplomas. ~ Foreign honors went to Germany, the representatives of that country winning 2,518 medals and 2,649 diplomas; Japan was second with 1,581 medals, and 1,508 diplo- mss; Bohemia, Cyprus, Hawail, Iceland, Mauritius, Malta, Madeira, Palestine, New Caledonia and West Africa bring up the rear with one medal and one diploma each Fetely Went ©stetedt oa rn : There {is intimation in the report that the cutive committee on awards is not entirely pleased with the fact that the medals and diplomas are still incomplete, and have not been furnished those persons to whom they were awarded, but the com- mittee contents itself with putting the blame on the Treasury Department. = The committee claims credit for having, alone, “of all the standing committees of the national commission, from beginning to end, managed, unaided, its own assigned work. With the civilized world as Its field of operation, and dealing with the conflict- ing interests and wishes of nearly 67,000 exhibitors and 250,000 exhibits, it would be something more than human to expect that some dissatisfaction may not’ have existed as to the manner in which the functions of the committee have been per- formed; but, having a fair consideration of all surrounding’ conditions, the committee, in this final report, submits {ts work with great confidence that it will stand the test ef just criticism.” ——— Held for the Grand Jury. Frank Holland, a young man who is known as in Pan Tommy,” and Warren Thompson, who ts known as “The Kid,” were in the Police Court yesterday after- noon charged with false pretenses. They were arrested by Detective Horne on com- plaint of Mrs. Danhakl, whose husband keeps a saloon at 2d and H streets. It was charged that Thompson borrowed from her $3 on a worthless ring that he told her was gold with a diamond setting, and a few days later Holiand, it is alleged, called and showed her a note he said he had received from Thompson. The note stated that Thompson was locked up and wanted $5 to put up as collateral. Mrs. Danhakl gave him the $5, so it is charged, and it turned out that Thompson was not locked up. Judge Miller heard the case and held the pre ener in $300 security for the grand ury. ————___ Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: Charles F.

Butter Higher—Eges Lower —Other ‘ Products Stationary. The feature of the local wholesale pro- duce market today is the advance in but- ter. The advance is but a cent a pound, but a still further rise fs not at all im- Probable. Prices in other products are about as quoted last week, although eggs are about a cent lower today. So, with the exception of butter and eggs, the market may generally be said to be a stationary one today. Beef and other fresh meats give no indication of a decline in the rather high prices prevailing during the last few months. Vegetables are exceedingly plen- tiful, and berries and fruits are hardly less abundant. On the whole, the market is unusually well supplicd, and is firm and active throughout today, the general de- mand being large. Notwithstanding an advance in prices of a cent a pound for the finer grades, the magket as to butter is firm. Receipts are liberal, but quite a shrinkage in receipts, frem the west particularly, is still ob- servable. The drought in the west still continues; advices indicate that the hay crop will be one-third or one-half short, and the price of butter is expected to-be thereby affected later on. Prices today are: Fancy Elgin creamery and other wes ern extras, 20 cents a pound; choice, 1 firsts, 18; seconds, 16; fancy creamery print, 23 to 25; dairy print, 16 to 18, and Maryland and’ Virginia print, 12 to 15; western dairy, best, 12 to 13, and good, 9 to 10; Maryland and Virginia creamery, 46 to 17, and good to prime, 10 to 12; bakers’ stock, 124%. Cheese today is weak, prices being as quoted a week ago: Large, 10 cents a pound; flats, 10%, and ponys, 11. Eggs are about a cent a dozen lower to- day than they were a week ago, 11 to 12 cents being asked. They are weak, how- ever, and continue in far from satisfac- tory’ condition. For keat or guinea stock, 5 to & .Spring chickens are slightly advanced today, 12 to 16 cents a pound being asked. Receipts ara not heavy, and there is a good demand also for old fowls, which are selling at from 5 to 10. Ducks, 8 to 11, have advanced, but geese, at 5 to«7, remain as last quoted. Vegetables and fruits remain practically as last quoted, the increased supply being met by’an increasing demand. Cucumbers, 50 cents to $1.25 a box; kale, 20 to 35 cents a barrel; peas, $1.50 to $2 a barrel; beans, 75 cents to $1 a box; asparagus, 50 cents to $1 a dozen; lettuce, $1.50 to $2 a barrel; new Irish potatogg, 75 cents to $1.50 a bar- rel; Bermuda oni@hs, $1.60 to $1.75 a crate; yellow, $1 to $1.25 a barrel; new, 50 to 75 cents a bushel; egg plant, $1.25 to $1.50 half barrel box; lima beans, 4 to 6 cents a pound; tomatoes, 75 cents to $1.50 a bushel; cabbage, 50 cents to $1 a barrel; beets, $1 te $2.50 per 100 burches; turnips, 60 to 65 cents a barrel; apples, 50 cents to $1.50 a barrel; California oranges, $3.50 to $4; Mes- sina, $3 to $8.50 a box, and Valencia, $4 to $1.50 a case; whortleberries, 5 to 6 cents @ quart; cherries, 4 to 6 cents; raspber- ries—red, 8 to 1); black, 5 td 8; blackber- ries, 6 to 8; watermelons, $10 to $15 per 100; peaches, 50 cents to $1.50 a box, and 7% cents to $l a basket; cantaloupes, §] to $3.50 a barrel; plums, blue, 25 to 40 cents a basket; gage, 25 to 45 cents; pears, La Conte, $2.50 to $3 a barrel; grapes, 30 to 40 cents 10-Ib. baskets; 15 to 30 cents 5-Ib. baskets. Prices for beef and other meats are about as last quoted, 3 to 4 3-4 for live cattle; sheep, 2 to 2 1-2; lafnbs, 3 to cows, with calves, $20 to $35 each; calves, 21-2 to 5 1-2 cents a pound; country sugar- cured hams, 9 to 11; lard, 6 1-2 to 7. —_—.___ AMUSEMENTS. New National Theater.—Last night “An Awful Affair,” ore of the funniest of the comedies that has been presented during the summer reason, was revived at the New Naticnal Theater and was well re- ceived by a gcod audience. Tonight the will close with a double, bill, “Bar- a,”" in which Miss Lillian Lawrence will be seen in a peculiarly attractive role, and “Partners for Life,” a comedy which was recelved with great favor during its first production. The entire company will ap- pear. Charles Coote’s Benefit.—It looks as though Charles Coote’s testimonial will be not only a great success artistically, but financially. It is Mr. Coote's “farewell” to Washingtcn, yntil, perhaps, another year. He goes back to New York to place his services at the disposal of the manager who may require them. He does not sall for Eurone, has made no plans for the coming season, but hopes te place himself to the best possible advantage. Mr. Coote's program for the 30th at the Grand Opera House will be thoroughly acceptable. It is varied and will tring out the best efforts of the artists volunteering. Frederick Bond, Chas. Mackcy, Wm. Boag, Lillian Lawrence, Frances Stevens, Eunice Ward, W. H. Conly, J. J. Fisher, Corinne Adele Parker, little Elsie Lower, the Apollo Quartet, ccnsisting of Messrs. McFarland, Turpin, Reeside and Ryan, Master Charles Madert, and the Mount Pleasant Field Band, sixty-five strong, with Edwin B. Hay as master of ceremonies, can surely be depended upon to give a pleasing ac- gount of themselves. The third act of “Caste” snd the charming after piece, “Man Propcses,” will constitute the dra- matic porticn of the bill. The sale is very large, and it is gratifying to Charlie Coote to find he has so many friends. Mr. Bert Riddle, who is looking out fcr the business end of the testimionial, and who has charge of all the details, says he never handled a benefit where there was such general good feeling marifested for the beneficiary. He is confident that the number of Mr. Coote’s admirers will test the capacity of the opera house. Wimodaughsis Lawn Party.—The feature of the lawn party of the Wimodaughsis last evening was a nee‘le-threading con- test for gentlemen. There were ten com- petitors, and it took twe trials to decide the contest. When the smoke of the first heat had cleared away, it was found that Mr. J. DeSilva and Mr. George McDonald had threaded five needles each. In the second trial, however, Mr. DeSflva easily cutstripped his opponent, by a score of six to four, thus winning ‘the first prize, a blue gingham apron. The other entries were Messrs. Libbey, Mott, Wonfor, Gwynn, Agnew, Bradley _and Gibson. The watch was held by Miss Phelps, while Mrs. Lackland refereed the contest. Miss H. Keebles captured the greatest number of oranges off a marble table with a teaspoon, and won the prize for that feat. Piano solos were rendered by Misses Clara and Viclet Fassett, which were heartily en- eyed. This evening is the last of the fete, and the ring will be awarded tonight to the one guessing nearest to the number of beans in a jar. The other features will be music and dancing. ———— On a Trip to Europe. Mr. Ed. J. Walsh, who sailed for Europe July 4, recited “The Other One Was Booth” at an entertainment on board the Aurania for the benefit of the Seaman's Orphanage, and, according to the critics in the au- dience, made the hit of the evening. Mr. Walsh was highly complimented by Miss Marie Burroughs, late of the Henry Wil lard company. Dr. Moran and Mr. Hugh Reilly accompany Mr. Walsh. After an extended trip through Great Britain and France they will return home about Sep- tember 1. —_—.__. Sunday at Deer Park and Onkiand. During the summer season the B. and 0. R. R.

If all the boys who want to go swimming do not go to the bathing beach it is not the favlt of the authorities, for the police keep the boys out of Rock creek and other small streams as much as’ they can. Rock creek has alvays been a favorite place of swimmers end bathers, but there are not many places in the-creek where the boys are now permitted to) go. In Rock Creek Park, it is said, bathing is not permitted even when trunks are: worn, and some of the policemen will not permit them to go in at all. Others are more considerate and make no effort to stop: the boys and men when they are properly protected. Fishing 1s also prohibited. ‘Since the issuance of the order against fishing in Rock Creek Park no arrests have.been made, but Po- Meeman Doyle was: a.caller at the Police Court early this morning to lodge com- plaint against three:men who, he charges, fished with a drop net-in the creek, within the limits of the park They did not catch any fish, so he was told, but they violated the law, so he claims, and for that reason he wilt require them to deposit collateral or appear in the procession. There was no one in the procession this morning for catching live fish, but Mike Lanhady, an old offender, was there because he had ST a ee for cash or rum at a hotel last night. = “He came in the hotel three times last night,” said the hotel clerk, “and begged for money or food. Then he seated him- self in the corridor and refused to leave.” “I went up there to see a man last night,” satd the prisoner, “and if I did anything wrong I don’t remember it.” It’s about time you had stopped drink- ing,”-the court remarked. a know it is, your honor,” the prisoner said. “Well, Lanhady,” said the court, “if you will keep up this drinking and annoying People you will have to go down.” A sentence of thirty days was imposed. “I'm guilty,” answered a colored man named Benjamin White, alias “Choker,” when arraigned on a charge of disorderly conduct. “Five dollars.” Wan After Him. Theresa Neujahr, a woman who has figured in court a number of times, was in the procession because she paid a visit to the Army Medical Museum to see her hus- band, who is a ‘watchman there, and failed to behave herself. “I saw her.coming,” said the watchman who was on duty there Wednesday night, “and as her husband had: suspected she was going to throw vitriol on him, I closed the door and went in.” “And what happened?” “I heard a noise like the report of a pistcl shot, and then I discovered that one of the large windows had been smashed.” “Is that all that happened?” “She was drunk and disorderly.” “Does she live with her husband?” “I think not.” The woman said that he had left her. She made a general denial of the charges, but there were other witnesses against her, and she was fined $40 or four months. Philip Chapman, colored,who was a mem- ber of the gatheriag in front of the jail yesterday, discovered that he would not be able to witness the execution, and so he started in business. “A game of crap was the business he started, and as the court has decided it to be one of the illegal pastimes, Policeman Thompson arrested him. “"Deed I wasn't shootin’ crap,” was the prisoner's defense, “Five dollars or fifteen days.” Elmer French, a little boy who was found begging.in Mount Pleasant, was in the procession as a-vagrant:’ “He begging from house to house,” said an officer, “and had‘collected seventy- five cent: “I got the money la!l from one person,” the boy said. “Why were you begging?” “Because I had lost seyenty-five cents that belonged to my: mother.” His mother corroborated what he said, and the boy was released with a warning not to repeat the offense. Matthew McDermott, a man whcse con- Guct gave Judge Miller an idea that his mind may be impaired, was charged with vagrancy and suspicion. “Last evening I fourd him loitering about Mount Pleasant,” said Policeman Lewis, “and he was unable to give a good ac- count of himself. He*said he had come from Laurel, and as some ladies had been assaulted in Rock Creek Park, I thought I would arrest him."’ “Where kave you been living?” the pris- oner was asked. “At the Priests’ Home in Laurel,” he an- swered. He told of the labor he had performed at different places, and said he was about Mount Pleasant last evening looking for a justice who would get his money for him. Policeman Doyle told of three ladies who were insulted in the park, and said he would like to take the man to their resi- dences for identification. The court granted the officer’s request and suspended sentence in the case. Horscs for Salc. “There ought to be some law against persons selling $2.50 horses,” remarked the court, when a colored boy named Charles King was put on trial for alleged cruelty to animals. “These old nags are no more fit for work than are ninety-year-old men.” Agent Rabbitt of the Humane Society told of the condition of the old horse, and a fine of $2 was imposed. John Catill, arraigned for profanity, was fined $ or fifteen days. Nim Smith was the name of a colored rl called on a charge cf vagrancy. Three police officers gave evidence against her, and she was seat down, Liked the White House. Next in line came a stranger from Butts “ity, Mon., who has been spending his time about the Wkite House, under suspicious circumstances. “The first time he called there,” said Policeman Jamison, “it was very early in the morning, and I told him he would have to come after 10 o'clock. Afterward’ I saw him around there several times, and late lest night I found him hiding behind one of the heavy columns in front of the build- ing.” ““What brought you here from Montana?” Judge Miller inquired. railroad train,’ was his response. Vhy are you here? “Tm an American citizen.” “I've heard that so often,” sald the judge. “It's a good thing to be an American citi- zen, but that gives you uo right to do what you have been doing. “Have you any means of support?” the judge asked. “Not according to the times.” He said he had worked on a ranch tn Montana, ard when he first came here and went to the White House he was a visitor. “And what was the occasion of your last visit?” “I hadn't any place to go, and I thought ehhaaaa Cooling Breezes Will not restore vitality and vigor when the blood is in a depleted condition.
