Greely’s Address Before the National The Great Gathering of Famous Geo- graphers in London Last Summer— Arctic and African Exploration. The first lecture of the winter in the semi-monthly Friday evening course, given under the auspices of the National Geo- graphic Society, was held last evening at Metzerott Hall. This move to take a larger building for the lectures proved a success, for there was a very large crowd present. The lecturer was Gen. A. W. Greely, who was one cf the delegates from this coun- try to the sixth international geographical congress, held in London last July. He de- scribed in an interesting manner the pur- poses, work and personnel of the congress, and also told of his efforts to secure the next meeting of the congress for this city, an effort which proved fruitless, owing to the failure of the president of the American Geographic Society, who was a vice presi- dent of the international body, to second the invitation. -After describing the gathering and its methods, Gen. Greely said that the first question in such an organization—a more important one in Europe than it would be in this country—was the selection of pa- trons, for on this depended much of the so- cial success of the congress. The list of patrons for this great meeting was led off by the names.of the queen, the Prince of Wales ard the Duke of York. The prince was unable to b2 present at the congress, and royalty was represerted in the person of the Duke of York. It was his first ap- pearance in such a role, and the people of England generally were interested to see what a figure he would make. He scored a dezided hit in his address, and on the fol- lowing day the newspapers congratulated themselves on the success he had made. The duke held a reception, which was equivalent to a reception by the queen, and the ambessadors and ministers from the various countries were present to. perform the introductions. Reception by the Duke of York. One funny mistake occurred in connec- tion with this reception. America was the only country to send women delegates, and through some misunderstanding they were not exepcted to be present at the recep- tion. When the duke heard of this he ex- pressed a desire that they should be intro- duced to him and the result was that they were given a reception even more delight- ful than was accorded the rest of the con- gress. General Greely spoke a few pleas- ant words expressive of his appreciation of the duke’s kindness and said that the young man was in every way a worthy person to stand in line of succession to the throne of England. After the reception came the address of welcome ,to the delegates by Presitent Markham of the Royal Geographical So- ciety. There was a_ splendid gathering, upward of five hundred delegates being present from all sections of the .world. A nice diplomatic question arose as to wffo should be selected to respond on behalf of the delegates, as there were so*many countries represented that it would have been out of the question to have a speaker from each delegation. It was decided that that president of a society, who had held oflice longest should be selected for this duty. The choice consequently fell upon Chief Justice Daly of New York, the pres- ident of the American Geographic Séclety. His ‘address was admirable in that it was brief, well worded and to the point. One of the most important questions that came before the congress was that of geo- graphic educaticn. The discussion on this point showed the high stand of the Ger- mans, while France came in a close sec- ond. It was quite a source of discomfiture to the representatives of Great Britain to find what a comparatively poor showing they could make. They undoubtedly have good men in the work, but the general average, especially in scientific and theo- retic geography, is not nearly as high us it is in France and Germany. Much attention was given tu the matter of antarctic re- search, which was urged upon the atten- tion of the congress by the head of the German hydrographic office. The congress expressed itself as strongly in favor of prosecuting explorations in this compara- tively unstudied section of the globe. To the North Pole. Then came the subject of arctic research. The first speaker was Admiral Markham, who for a number of years held the record for the “higheSt north.” This was followed by the representative of the Nattonal Geo- graphic Society, “the good fortune of whose party,” Gen. Greely said, “it had been to reach a little nearer to the pole.” Gen. Greely spoke of the proposed at- tempt to reach the pole by means of a bal- Icon, which has been broached by a young Norwegian, who intends to st: by the air route next May. His own opinioa was that the plan is a foolhardy one, but he would not call it impossible. In these days a man is foolhardy who says that anything un- known and untried {is Impossible. It was through the efforts of Gen. Greely that the congress did not formally indorse thig scheme. In his speech to the congress ne teok the ground that a scientific body should be slow to recommend to the prac- tical men of the world any scheme which on the face of it is reckless and imprac- ticable. When it came to the consideration of Africa as a field for work, there were vari- ous and opposing views presented. Some members spoke of Africa as the continent of the future, while others insisted that the country would never be and never could be in a position to rank in any way with Europe or America. Stanley was present. and told of how many things in Africa hat failed and why. de spoke in a very brusque manner—“in a Stanley manner,” Gen. Greely cailed it—and showed his per- sonal feelings toward many of those whc were present, and it was evident that he did not feel Kindly disposed toward the scientists who reccive their bread and but ter from the Royal Geographic Society. Stanley said that scie ought to leav. Africa severely alone. What is needed there {3 concrete common sense. While it was very satisfactory to see how he han- died the matter and hammered his op ponents, the general opinion was that Stang ley’s speech was a mistake, and Gen Greely thought that Mr. Stanley himself realized it afterward. A matter In which great interest was taken was that of the proposed map of the world, which hed Leen recommended by German savons. The proposition received the hearty support of the congress, and a scale of 1 to 1,000,000 was recommend Gen. Greely concluded his lecture with an account of the social features connected with the congress, which were all on the mest elaborate and deligntful scale. Speak- ing of the personnel of the congress, he sald that Mr. Stanley was easily the most distinguished and interesting figure in the gathering. SS Another Sunday School Insiitute. Arrangements for the second of the Sun- day School Union’s series of “institutes” for Sunday school workers in different sec- tions of the city were made last night at a conference between the officers of the union and the local superintendents at the Sixth Presbyterian Church, 6th and C streets southwest. The Rev. D. W. Skel- lenger, the pastor of the church, partici- pated in the discussion, and offered clos- ing prayer. The union was represented by Pierson H. Bristow, president; Jerome F. Johnson, field worker, and Jamés L. Ewin, secre Messrs. John Imirie, jr., of€the Sixth Presbyterian Sunday school, W. F. Carter of the Fifth Baptist Sunday school; and E. S. Hall of Ryland M. E. Sunday school, were selected as the local commit- tee of arrangements; Ryland Church, 10th and D streets southwest, was chosen as he place of meeting, and Friday, October as the time. These institutes are pre- liminary to the convention of the Sunday school workers of the District of Colum- bia to be held the 11th, 12th and 18th of November. ——.——_ Hagerstown Fair. ‘Trains leave B. and O. station 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Tickets sold October 14 to 18, good returning until October 19, inclusive.

Lafayette Square Opera House.—it is a delight to have in America again the fore- mest American actress of comedy roles. The exceptional position which Mary An- derson won as a portrayer of the heavier heroines of the stage has been industrially achieved by Miss Rehan as a mistress of the lighter plays. These two may be styled the American muses of tragedy aril com- edy. Miss Rehan is a consummate“artiste.” She can touch delicately and harmoniously every key of the gamut of comedy, from the exuberant farce to the tender and love- ly Shakespearean idyls: Several American actresses still living have won applause in a number of her most famous roles, but she is easily without a peer as a versatile portrayer of Rosalind, Viola, Katehrine, Julia and Lady Teazle. Not since Adelaide Neilson’s time has there ‘been so sweet a Viola; but in the delightful naturainess with which she has invested the whimsical Lady Teazle she stands unique. Monday evening, October 14, Miss Rehan commences a brief engagement at the Lafayette Square Opera House in Shakespearean and modern comedies, assisted by Mr. Daly’s compan: She will appear Monday evening in “Rall- “Twelfth Wednesday evening, “Midsummer Night’s Dream Thursday evening, “As You Like It;” Friday evening and Saturday matinee, “School for Scandal;” Saturday evening, “Taming the Shrew.” Mr. Daly, in his elaborate, costly and magnificent preductions of these famous Shakespearean comedies, will. as of old, sustain his repu- tation as th> foremost stage manager in this country. All the carpets will be down on Monday and the draperies for the boxes hung, thus making the néw opera house complete in every detail. Grand Opera. House.—Monday evening the kaleldoscopic “1492,” with its intermingling of burlesque, comic opera and vaudeville, will be presented to the patrons of this theater. The success of “1492” is of the most honest and convincing kind. Inces- sant is {ts entertainment and manifold its attractions. Add to this the fact that it is new, and that you are not up to the times If you have not seen it, and that everybody who has seen it is advertising its excel- lence to his or her friends, and you will understand why it continues to attract crowds wherever it is presented. “1492,” as revised by Mr. Rice this season, is funnier than ever, full of wise saws and modern -hits. Everything is bright, new and spark- ling. There will be many novelties in the new ‘‘1492,"" and some new people, who have achieved great popularity throughout this country. The embellishment of scenery and costume will be very brilliant and en- tirely new. The business during this en- gagement is certain to be enormous, and timely application for seats is advisable. Matinees will be given on Wednesday and Saturday. National Theater.—Cissy Fitcgerald will pose and dance and wink for the benefit of her admirers at the National next week in “The Foundling.” Academy of Music.—‘‘In Old Kentucky” will occupy the boards at the Academy next week. Bijou Theater.—The clever little soubrette, Florence Bindley, in her entirely new scen- ic production, ‘The Captain's Mate,” will be the attraction at the Bijou next week. The scenery in “The Captain's Mate” is quite effective, one set showing the North river, with the various railroad depots on the Jersey shore, with many ferry boats plying across and all sorts of craft occupy- ing the docks. Another set shows a bit of picturesque scenery on the rugged.coast of Maine, while still another shows a Brazil. ian trader when the American fiag is in- sulted and the traitor punished. Monday night the audience will be taken by the new photograph process, known as the Henderson flash process. One thousand proofs will be printed, and later will be presented to the ladies as souvenirs. Lyceum Theater.—Manager Kernan’s at- traction for next week will be Jas. Thorn- ten’s Elite Vaudeville Company. This or- ganization contains an aggregation of v: riety artists whose reputations as ‘“‘stars' extend from Maine to California. The com- pany is a good one,and the program present- ed contains that wholesome spice of variety which comes cnly from a high-class vande- ville entertainment.

IN..GEORGETOWN Waterways and Canals Dry and Naviga- s tion Stopped. * - Many Local Notes of Interest to Citi- sens Across:Rock Creek Bridge— Personal Mention.* For years there has not been such a drought in the upper_canal region as exists at present. The oldest inhabitants even go so’far'as ‘to say that the ‘canal has not been similarly affected since its establish- ment, over sixty years ago. The Potomac up abcut.Cumberland is almost: dry. In places the bottom is visible from shore to shore, and there is no flow into the canal. The little water scen in :other. places ap- pears to be moveless... Navigation has prac- tically been suspended. » For days there have been no cargoes:shipped greater than thirty-eight tons—one-third of a regular cargo. General Manager Nicolson of the Chesapeake and. Ohio canal confirms the truth of these reportx About Cumberland, he says,’ the river bed isiabsolutely dry, and ten miles dowm the: course of the stream only enough water:can be dammed to run ore pump two-hours out of twenty- four. This pump has beer dn position since 1872, and this is the-first time that there has not been water enough to satisfy its capacity completely. :. What little water is here is of a nauseating quality; so thick with mud that a duck cogidn’t swim in it. Down toward Williamsport the depth of the water in the canal increases, ranging from one and a half to two and a half feet. Under favorable conditions there are six feet of water in the great trough. There has begun to be suffering in the Cumberland region, particularly among cattle. The wells, etc., are being forced. Capt. Passeno, for years a, riverman of this section, but who of late has been running boats on Drummond lake and the Dismal Swamp canal, was in town this morning on business, and, in conversation with a Star reporter, said that the drought in that section of Virginia was beyond anything on record. Drummond lake is almost absolutely dry, while the bed of the canal is hard and full of cracks. There is no navigation there. A Kindergarten. In the I'lunt School building, on O street. a kindergarten school for the public has been established, under the auspices of the Society of Friends. Miss N. D. Moote is in charge. This is the same school that was forced out of the High ‘street building. Children from three to five years of age are qualified to enter. ‘The school is designed to prepare children for entry to the first grade. At present the membership consists of ten little “tots.” Fifteen or twenty more can be accommo- dated. Supervising Principalt Janney is looking with much favor on the school, and hopes that parents will at once‘avail them- selves of the generosity of the Friends. The largest crowd yet present greezed Mr. Neighbor at the Baptist revival last night. The interest is deepening steadily. Two professions were made and a number stood for prayer. Many Improvements. Dr. L. W.,Ritchie has begun a twerty- thousand-dollar improvement on M street near the aqueduct, adjoining the Key man- sion. Stores and dwellings will be put up. Excavations are now going on. ~- » There is a concentration of activity in this section. With the union depot con- structors and men engaged in other im- provements near two hundred workmen are ddily on the hustle. Conservative men say Georgetown is on the eve of a big boom, and predict some prise the people. She is taking strides now im that direction that are apparent to every one, but these are said to be but baby steps. ‘ — RECEIVING THEIR PATRONS. America’s Mascot. Miss Thornton will in- treduce a budget of new and catchy songs. Other names appearing on the roster are Gilmore and Leonard, the representative Irish comedians; Wills and Collins, the fa- vorite travesty stars; the three Marvelles, grotesque eccentriques; Ed. Latell. the ex- pert musical artist; Clark and St. Clair, the renowned comedy duo; Sherman and Mar- rissey, the famous comedy pair? the Whit- ten sisters, the original Coney: Island girls, and James Thornton, author and composer- of more than one hundred popular songs. | Mr. Thornton’s many successes has gained him the distinction of “the man who has set the world a-singing.” There will he matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Bill Nye and Bert Poole.—It will be a pleas- ure to all who have read and enjoyed the Inimitable humorous articles of the popular writer, Bill Nye, to learn that he will soon appear in Metzerott Hall to give an enter- tainment which can certainly be considered one of the most novel and unique perform- ances ever given upon the American plat- form. Iustrated lectures of travel and description have been seen and heard fre- quently in the past, but this is the first :ime that there has ever been an entertainment given by @ great humorist that has been Il- lvstrated by a proficient cartoonist. He will be most ably seconded by Mr. Bert Poole, who is universally considered Bos- ton’s ‘great cartoonist. This pair of hu- morists will appear at Metzerott’s Hall on Saturday evening, October 26. The Park Sisters.—An opportunity Will be presented Wednesday evening, #thée 16th instant, of hearing for the first time in Washington the famous Park sisters, who have been engaged by the Christian Endeavor Society of the Calvary Baptist Church to give a concert in the Sunday school house. These young ladies have become widely known throughout the country. At the Ocean Grove camp meet- ingsgthey are always on hand, ‘to lead the singing with their cornets, and at the last Christian Endeavor convention, held in Boston, the Washington delegation was charmed with their skillful and_ artistic work. When the convention is held here in July next, one of the features will be the presence of this same quartet of musicians. Miss Anna Park plays the cornet and zither, Miss Georgia Park, the cornet and mandolin; Miss: Katibel Park is expert with the trombone and mandolin, and Miss Ada Park is heard to best advantage on the cornet and mandolin. In presenting the attractive program, whicl has been ar- ranged for Wednesday night, the Misses Park will be assisted by Mrs. Nellie Wil- son Shir-Cliffe and Miss Zue Brockett. Odd Fellows’ Hall.—There will be an entire change of bill at Odd Fellows’ Hall next week. Markos will still’continue his feats ‘n mesmerism and hypnotism, but the ‘act of the Williams Trio will be changed, and zome néw and startling mysteries will be produced. The trunk mystery, the £gypt- can parodox and a great many new tricks of magic, besides some new cabinet work, will form the principal part of the bill. The mesmerism and hypnotism will be given each evening, and Markos will endeavor to ntroduce some of the latest theories in those lines. At the Eastern Church.—The concerts. given at the Eastern Presbyterian Church are always first-class, and the one adver- tised for next Wednesday evening should, from the array of talent billed to appear, be a highly interesting and successful af- fair. The following are the artists en-* gaged: Mrs. Hattie Meades Smith, Miss Sallie Nicholson, Miss Eleanor Symonds, Miss Gertrude Dana, Mrs. Daisy Louise Fox, Messrs. Stratham, Hensey, Pearman, Mellis, Barnes, Prof. Lovy, violinist, and quartet from the Capital Glee Club,Mesers. Hensey, Asmussen, Gough and Cronin. A Unique and Interesting Event at .

As we were with- in a square or two of Dupont Circle the driver of a yellow carriage turned his horses deliberately, without glancing in our direction. There was a carriage behind us, whilst a few tons of coal were directly in front. There were several ladies in the car- riage, who saw us and watched as though interested in finding out how we intended to save ourselves. Had one of them spoken to the driver and asked him to allow us to pass, we could easily have done so, but he took up the entire road in turning, leaving it for us to jump in front of the coal pile and hastily draw our wheels on the side- walk, just avoiding the wagon behind,which we could not have done, had we not been very cool-headed. It would be a very little thing for a driver to turn his ‘head and to see if the road were clear before attempt- irg to turn his horses. In no other country in the world are they permitted to drive so recklessly, and if you could only find time and space to agitate,the subject, the reme- dy would soon follow. M. E.

The most noticeable feature of the local wholesale produce market today is the very perceptible improvement in the quality of both butter agd eggs. Both are gradually overeoming’the ill effects of the long-con- tinued dry hct spell, and while butter re- mains stationary in prices, eggs have not only advanced during the week, but they also still exhibit an improved tendency. Cheese has also advanced, but it continues Poor in quality. Peaches and pears are fast passing away, and high prices are con- sequently demanded for them. Apples are plentiful, and indications are that they will this fall and winter be much cheaper than last year. Poultry is being received in gcod quantities, and the cool weather will scon put dressed gocds on general sale. Game continues rather plentiful, but will be much more so in a few weeks. Vege- tables show practically no change, and of beef and other meats the same muy be said. There is a firmness throughout the market, with an increasing demard for all preducts. Excepting an improvement in quality, butter shows nd change. It is, however, arriving in larger quantities, and the in- crease in supply is being met with an equal increase in demand. Absolutely per- fect goods still command almost any rea- sonable price, and June makes are still in good demand. Prices, as will be observed from the following quotations, are as quot- ed a week ago, and no immediate change in them is to be expected.

The medicai profession has thrown its weight of authority against the Practice, and frequently referred to’ the baneful results occasioned by the free use of these articles as a beverage. Every con- sumer should realize that coffee is not an alimert but a medicament, possessing a powerful active principle or alkaloid known as “caffein.” which produces serious de- rangements of the digestive organs and the nervous system. — Dyspeptics, nervous persors and all those suffering from indigestion, insomnia and general debility should try the great hy- gienic Knelpp Malt Coffee, which is abso- lutely free from all injurious substances. It contains all the invigorating, health-giv- ing elements of malt extract, combined with the aromatic flavor and taste of cof- fee. Sold by all grocers in one-pound pack- ages only. Price, 12 cents.
