WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET. ee Butter and Eggs Higher—Other Pro- ducts Stationary. With the present week the local wholesale produce market closed the summer season, and the fall season, with its usual prices and products, may now be said to have been inaugurated. As a whole, the season just past was a successful one, products being plentiful and of good character, and an active demand making a generaily firm market. Indications point to a healthy and active fall season, and it is generally ad- mitted that it will prove to be an unusually profitable one, both to producers and pur- chasers. It is true that the market still exhibits a general upward tendency, but that is to be naturally expected at this sea- son of the year, and should not be consid- ered as evidence of general high prices later on. With the coming of fall weather such goods as watermelons cantaloupes, table corn, peaches and similar products are be- ing received in such irregular quantities as to make it practically impossible to defi- nitely fix their quotations. But as such products leave the mafket, fall fruits and vegetables take their places. Game, too, is making its appearance, and already veni- son, bear, rabbits, quail, wild turkeys and pheasants are quoted. The market is a splendidly supplied one, and the products are generally of excellent character. But- ter and eggs, however, still show decided IN effects of -the continuous dry, hot weather, and are advancing in price. The market throughout is firm and active, and a healthy tone prevails. Butter today is about a cent higher per pound than a week ago today. Yet, it is extremely difficuit to secure fine goods, the long-maintained dry, hot weather being re- sponsible. In fact, butter is today poorer in quality than at any other time during the past five or six years. All goods show ef- fects of the heat, and much is sour and sum- mery. June creamery is in good demand, and is receiving attention at 22 cents. Lower grades are not dull, but their values are uncertain. Unless there is a decided change in the weather, prices may confident- ly be expected to advance still higher. To- day for fancy Elgin and other western, ex- tras 24 ts a pound are asked. Choice, fir: seconds, 17. Choice bakers’ stuck, {2 1-2 to 14; New York tubs, 17 to 4 @airy print, 16 to 18; western, 10 to 14: Mary- land and Virginia creamery, 15 to 19; dairy packed, 13 to 16. Cheese is also showing the effects of the hot spell, its condition proving unsatisfac- tory. There is, however, no advance in prices, although there {san increased de- mand for fine gcods. Prices today are: New York state full cream, large, 10 cents a pound; flats, 10%, and ponys, 11. Eges are still in a very unsatisfactory condition, their poor quality being due to the heat. Few are to be had free from the effects of hot weather, from one to five dozen being lost in a case. They show an upward tendency, and will be no lower for some time. From 15 to 16% cents a dozen are asked for nearby fresh goods, from 13 to 14 for southern stock, and 6 to 8 for keat or guinea stock. Prices for poultry remain as about last quoted. The supply is good, and the de- mand large, an active market prevailing. For live spring chickens, 10 to 14 cents a pound are asked; old fowls, 5 to 10; ducks, 8 to 10, and geese, 5 to 7. Game is row in season, as will be seen from the following quotations: Venison, saddle, per pound, 18 to 20; whole deer, buck: per pound, 8 to 10; bear, saddle, 1 nts, 50 to 60; rabbits, per dozen, $1. quail, $1.75 to $2.00; wild turkeys, per pound, 10; woodcock, each, 35 to 40. Vegetables are fairly ‘plentiful, in good demand, and prices are practically un- changed. Cucumbers, 50 cents to $1.25 a box; new potatoes, $1 to $1.75 a barrel sweet potatoes, red, $1 to $1.75 a barrel; eastern shore sweet potatoes, $1.50 to $2 a barrel; yams and haymons, $1 to $1.50 a barrel; beets, $1 to $2.50 a hundred bunches; yellow onions, $2 to $2.50 a barrel; turnips, 60 to 65 cents a barrel; Virginia white beans, $1.25 to $1.50; black-eyed peas, $1 to $1.10 a bushel; lima beans, 4 to 6 cents a quart; tomatoes, 50 to 75 cents a crate. Fruits, because of the advancing cool weather, show an advance in prices. Fancy table apples, $2.50 to $8 a barrel; Sickle pears, $2 to $3 a barrel; Bartlett pears, $4 to $5 a barrel; peaches, $2 to $5 a bushel; nsons, 3 cents a pound; plrms, 3 to 3 1. ts a pound; fancy California oranges, x; Messina, $2 to $2.50; , $3 to $3.50; grapes, 15 to 20 cents a ten-pound basket.

Calves, LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. « WILL OPEN NEXT MONDAY 1 The New Lafayette Square Opera House is Completed. Work Has Been Rushed Night and Day to Accomplish This Result— Description of the Building. No one not familiar with the rapidity with which work can be done under pres- sure would have believed, from a visit to the Lafayette Square Orera House early in the week, it pcssible that the building could be finished so as to be opened to the public next Monday night. There were the usual piles of rubbish in front of the build- ing, including boards which had constituted the sca‘folding, terra cotta pipes, bricks and pieces of stone and the litter that is al- ways made by building material. Inside, though the scaffolding’ had been taken down, there was painful evidence of incom- pleteness. The iron grooves in which the scenery is to run were just being put into the walls on the stage, and on that part of the building everything looked bare and desolate. In the auditcrium some of the chairs had been put into the orchestra, but all around the lower floogy workmen were busy putting the kalsomining on the walls, while in the balcony and galleries similar work was be- ing carried on. There were no balusters to the broad stairs that lead from the lobby to the balcony above, and the private boxes were only indicated by upright pieces of scantling. The front of the stage was unfinished, and the handsome doors had not yet arrived. Much of the ornamental iron work that should have been put in had just been received, and the fronts of the balcony and galleries were widely openworked. In the midst of all this confusion, seated in a big arm cha!r in one of the orchestra aisles, was Mr. John W. Albaugh, to whom the progress of all this work going on around him meant so much. He had been compelled tc postpone the opening of this opera house, of which he is not only to be the manager, but in which he is deeply financially interested, and he didn’t propose to disappoint the public again if the men could be kept at work by constant and vigorous supervision. He has had to be on the ground for several weeks past, pushing the contractors, some of whom have been very negligent. Had every contractor kept his agreement, had his material on the ground when he said he would, and com- pleted his part of the work when the speci- fications called for its completion, Mr. Al- baugh says the house would have been oper.ed on the 23d instant, fully complete in every respect. “I don’t think,” he said to a Star reporter, “that we have been more than four months in erecting the building, and if you deduct the time lost it wasn’t that long. I. think we commenced work about the middle of April. Of course, the foundation was laid befcre, but all during the time we were baving the difficulty in Congress no work was being done. After we commenced there was a long delay on the part of the iron men, and that put us back. Then it seems to me that every contractor lost some time. I've had to push them all or else the work would not have been done until winter. Last week I had ‘to read the riot act to gcme of the workmen, but we are all right now, and the publie'will be satisfied, I think when we open the ddors Monday night with Miss Lillian Rufself in her latest operatic succes, ‘Tzigane.’ ” The new building has a frontage of near- ly seventy feet; with a depth of 146 feet, with public alleys on three sides, thus affording ample exits. The ground con- tains about 10,000 square feet. Madison place is ninety feet wide, including a thir- ty-five-foot pavement and parking. The building is six stories in height, with a roof garden, The style of the exterior 1s of the classic Grecian order. It is built of gray polished granite to the portico, above the first story, and buff brick’ ornamented with buff terra cotta constitutes the remainder of the front elevation. The columns of the colonnade in front of the first story are of polished granite. Located in the base- ment of the building will be Turkish baths, the floor and walls being laid in tiling and white marble; and in addition a barber shop and toilet rooms. The structure ‘s lighted throughout by electricity and heat- ed by steam, the dynamos and engines to be located under the rear alley and sepa- rated from the main building by a fire- proof wall. The main entrance to the theater Is thir- ty-six feet wide and only a couple of steps up from the sidewalk, and opening into a lobby which ts finished in mahogany and floored in mosaics, from which two broad marble staircases lead to the upper floors. The office of the theater is in the north- west corner of the building. In the south- west corner are the elevators. The house has a seating capacity of 1,800. In the auditorium the foyer is not railed off, but marked by statues and ornamental vases. The main floor, which is laid in tiling, rises in five tiers, and is constructed on the can- tilever plan, so that there are only two supporting columns on the main floor and three in the balconies. None of these in- terfere with a view of the stage from any seat in the house, as they are set in the rear of the last row. The chairs are of iron, with leather seats and backs of ma- hogany, and are fastened to a wooden strip tmbedded in the floor for that purpose. There is no center aisle, means of egress being furnished by two side aisles sloping directly to the stage. Above the auditorium isa mezzanine floor. divided into thirty tals, seating from four to eight persons each. There are six- teen proscenium boxes, eight on elther side, adjoining a reception room and promenade. The crnamentation of the fronts of the bal- conies is composed of artistic wrought steel, as are also the doors throughout the build. ing. A new feature is the ceiling, which slopes down to the top of the proscenium arch, thus forming an immense sounding board. Tye cellings of the proscenium boxes also rise In a series of curved sound boards, which greatly increase the acoustic prop- erties of the house. The latest improved system of’ventilation is used. The stage, like the other parts of the building, is also constructed of fireproof material and equipped with the latest fire- Proof scenery. A rigging loft, sixty-five feet above the stage floor, 1s erected, from which all the scenery and drops will be operated. Beneath this loft is a narrow gallery, on either side of which are the steel ropes and pulleys used in securing the scenery work from the stage floor. A handsomely painte2 asbestos curtain is raised and lowered by an electrical arrangement conn vi the rack of the musical director, © wie The advance sale'Indicates a very large attendance Monday night, and the new opera house will open under very favorable auspices, even though it may take some little time yet before all th touches are put on. eens AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN The Drought Seriously Affecting the Canal Trade. Enjoyable Entertainment Given by the Epworth League—Other News of Interest. The long continued drought has serious- ly affected canal business. The water is so low that cargoes have been cut down to fifty ard sixty tons. The average load is 112 tons. Shippers here are behind in their oréers. The demand is greater than can be supplied. Epworth Leaguers Entertain. The Epworth League entertainment last evening at Dumbarton Church was a charm- ing affair. The room was tastefully lighted ands decorated, and the program was ex- cellent. The selections were nearly all ab- solutely new, adding additional interest to them. ‘The numbers included an instrumental duet by Mrs. Isaac Birch and Mr. Fred. Stitt; a recitation by Miss Mickle; a solo, Miss Reichelbaum; a recitation and imita- tions by Mr. Guy V. Collins; a recitation, Mr. J. Barton Miller; solos by Mr. Emory Wiison;,a violin solo, Master George Hunt, and recitations by Mr. Watson. President Littell of the Epworth League made the announcements. ? Rev. Mr. Stitt rounded out the program, which was replete with encores, with an address appropriate to the evening. Re- freshments were served after the program was over. Extending Water Mains. The water mains at Fort Myer have been extended to a distance involving the em- ployment of over 1,000 feet of new pipe. The extension was made to supply prin- cipally the new hospital and barracks. This Boy Threw Stones, Thos. Morland, a boy, while hurling stones recklessly about last Saturday, struck Mr. John Donovay, an old gentle- mdn, of P street between 35th and 3tth, who was sitting on his porch, and knocked him down three steps to the sidewalk. The boy was arreste1 last night. Wholesale Destruction of Eggs. James Hunter, a countryman, had his team run into yesterday afternoon at the corner of 28th and M streets by grip car 232, There was a wreck of the contents of the wagon, which happened to be princi- pally eggs—many dozen of them. The broken white and yellow mass obscured the roadway for several square yards. The catastrophe all but stunned the country- ran at first, for he had brought his eggs miles and had expected to exchange them for home necessities. For two minutes he just managed to gasp and distend his eyes; then he recovered his speech, and with a gesture and voice that were tragic in their intensity he yelled to the assembled crowd: “Look at that!—look at that!!—look at that!!!” Then, with a lingering look at his smashed fortune, he moved toward his horse and slowly began the work of repairing knocked-out harness for temporary use. General News of Interest. Martin Ragan, white, fifty-five years of age, was arrested last night on a charge of vagrancy. James Neil, while working on Potomac street yesterday afterncon, was struck on the head by a@ derrick. He was knocked unconscious by the blew. The police had the unfortunate man conveyed to the Emer- gency Hospital. LABOR MEN OBJECT Protest Against the Inscription on a Monn- . ment in 'Frisco, Col. Grnham Defends the Legend and an Appeal is Made to the Sec- retary of War. Secretary Lamont has been called on to settle an interesting controversy between the American Railway Union and Colonel Wm. M. Graham, fifth artillery, command- ing the United States troops. at the Pre- sidio of San Francisco. Last winter there was erecied in the national cemetery at San Francisco.a monument to the four soldiers of the fifth artillery who lost their lives in the conflict between the United States troops and the rioters near Sacra- mento during the great railroad strike. The inscription on the stone 1s this: “Murdered by Strikers.” Col. Graham's Letter. This inscription is regarded by many labor leaders as an insult to the “cause of labor,” and a general movement has been Started to secure the removal of the ob- noxious legend. Several weeks ago resolutions adopted by a labor organization, calling for the re- moval of the inscription, were presented to Colonel Graham and provoked from him the following written response: “I am a competent judge of how these soldiers met their deaths, and the words ‘Murdered by Strikers’ exactly and justly express my judgment on that point: “For this reason I respectfully decline to comply with the treasonable demand of men who have publicly pit themselves out- side of the law, and of the respect of hon- est, law-abiding citizens by adopting reso- lvtions of sympathy with public enemies and condoning the crime of murder.” An Appeal to the Secretary. As stated in yesterday's Star, the monu- ment is guarded day and night to prevent its destruction. The A. R, U. does not re- gard Col. Graham’s decisicn as final, and has taken an appeal to the War Depart- ment. Considereble interest is taken in the matter, and it remains for Secretary La- mont to say whether Col. Graham shall be ‘sustaized or not. The decision of this ques- tion is fraught with political consequences. SSS A Story of Mystery. Do you know what a “Story of Mystery” 1s? It is a continued story, of which all but the last chapter is printed, and then guesses are made as to the solution, then the final installment is printed. Early in October a most interesting mystery story, “When the War Was Over,” will be started in The Star, and five hundred dollars will be given for the first absolutely correct solution. In case no guess is abso- lutely correct the amount will be divided among those nearest to a correct solution. ‘The guesses will be confined to women read- ers. Fuller particulars later.

Do you know what a “Story of Mystery” is? It is a continu- ed story of which all but the last chapter is printed, and then guesses are made as to the solu- tion, then the final installment is printed. Early in October a most inter- esting mystery story, “When the War Was Over,” will be started in The Star, and five hundred dollars will be given for the first absolutely correct solution. In case no guess is absolutely cor- rect the amount will be divided among those nearest to a cor- rect solution. The guesses will be confined to women read- ers. Fuller particulars later.
