Lucy Peyton, colored, who resides in Ana- costia, caused considerable excitement yes- terday afternoon by falling in a spasm in a street car at 3d street and Missouri avenue. She was removed to the Emer- gency Hospital. a The Pearson Estate. Answering the caveat filed several days ago in matter of the estate of the late Henry M. Pearson, by his sister, Annie Pearson, the brother of the deceased, Mr. Paul Pearson, and Miss Sarah E, Davidson, one of the beneficiaries named in the will, have filed a statement, in which they deny the allegations contained in the caveat. . They assert that the instrument was regu- larly and legally drawn, and that the de- ceased was of a sound and disposing mind, and was influenced by neither Miss David- son nor by any one else. —_——— Governor's Guard Depart. The second company, Governor's Foot Guard, of New Haven, Conn., after an en- jeyabie stay in this city, departed for home this morning. After the dismissal of the parade yesterday ufternoon, the Guards had not much time on their hands before the reception, which was held at the Ebbitt Hovse in the s. Many well-known military men and others were among the guests, and speeches were made by Major Benjamin E. Brown and nator Hawley. Many complimentary things were said of the Washington Light Infantry Corps, which took charge of the entertainment of the visitors.

AT THE OYSTER WHARF Where Many Go to Get a Moss of the Bivalves. The Shuckers and Their Victims— Large Shipments Made to This City From Down the River. ‘ “Kin I do somethin’ fer you today, boss<”” inquired a somewhat dissolute-looking col- ored man of a Siar reporter today as the reporter approached the neighborhood of the oyster wharf. There were at least a score of oyster shuckers watching for cus- tomers along the street car line, as well as along G street between the cable road and the wharf, ready to waylay strangers walk- ing in the Cirection of the wharf, and who are naturally supposed to be looking for bivalves. These colored men “hold up” the pedestrians, as it were, and ask for the job of shucking the expected feast of oysters. ‘The oyster season Is now almost at its height and business on the wharf is in full blast. Not only the wholesale nd retail dealers in oysters do their buying at the wharf, but many private families as well get their supply of oysters direct from the boats, and then hire these men to do their shucking for them. Many persons get their oysters in this way because they consider them cheaper than purchasing them in the regular way, and then, too, they are not put in fresh water to be bloated, in order to make them fill a measure which would otherwise not be filled. Then, too, the oys- ters are in their own liquor, and when they reach the difner table they nave not been robbed of the delicious flavor that they get in the salt water. Green Ones Taken In. Persons unacquainted with ihe ways of many oystermen and some of the shuckers will find a trip to the wharf a little more expensive than a visit to an oyster house, for the men about the wharves are always on the alert, looking to Set the better of the bargain. Frejuently strangers are charged more than the regular prices, and the man employed to do the shucking will do bis share in the game of “doing” the un- initiated. ‘These men always know where the finest Pocomokes and Tangiers are, and will lead the customer to a particular boat, but it will never go amiss for the customer to do his own selecting, unless he knows his man. ‘The shuckers have their particular friends cn the boats from whom they get commis- sions, and it is natural that they should lead their patrons to the captains of the beats who pay them. In Fine Condition. Oysters are now coming up the river in fine condition, and most of them are fat and have a delicious flavor. This 1s the result of the continued dry weather and the ccnsequent low water. There is plenty of salt water on all the oyster beds now, and it is said that the water is brackish as far up the river as Marshall Hall. A boatman who took on a supply of water at the White House one day last week found that it was too brackish to be used for drinking or cooking purposes, and he was compelled to go ashore and get a supply from a spring. ‘The oysters coming from the mouth of the river, from Coan river or the vicinity of Piney Point and St. George’s Island have the delicious flavor of the Norfolk oysters just now, so the oystermen say, but when the heavy fall rains cothe and the river rises, they will be robbed of that flavor. But the salt water now will put them in good condition for the winter, and there is rot much danger of this season's catch not being fat. Big Shipments. ‘The daily shipments received at the r front now will average more than 1,500 bushels, and the prices range from 40 to 75 cents a bushel. For shucking the men charge from 20 to 25 cents a bushel. Thurs- day there were mote than 2,000 bushels of sters at the wharf. It is usual for the hursday’s stock to be larger than on other days because of Friday's trade. There were vehicles of all kinds crewded on the wharf yesterday, and the tin-bucket men, who sell from door to door, were out by the score. Many of these men, however, get in their supply the evening before, In order to get arcund to their customers early in the morning. Inspector Harris makes daily tours of in- spection about the wharf and condemns all marine products found unfit for use, and the products so condemned are shipped back down the river. GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY. Regular Monthly Publication Has Been Determined On. ‘The large membership of the National Geographic Society, as well as a good con- tingent of their friends, was well represent- ed in the audience which gathered at Metzerott Hall last evening to listen to a lecture from Mr. Ernest Flagg on the de- velopment of the mediaeval cathedral. The speaker of the evening was introduced by Mr. Gardiner Hubbard, the president of the society. After making some annuonce- ments of the other lectures, which are to be given in this course, Mr. Hubbard stated that it had been determined to make a regular monthly issue of the publication of the society, instead of having it appear at irregular intervals as has been the case. Mr. Hubbard said that it was deemed that the membership of the society had grown so large that they were justified in taking this step. The first issue of the National Geographic Magazine under this arrange- ment will be next month. Mr. Flage’s lecture. which was followed with interest by the audience, was finely illustrated by stereopticon views of photo- graphs and architectural drawings. The il- lustrations admirably supplemented the lec- ture, which was a scholarly treatment of the subject, tracing the evolution of eccle- siastical buildirlgs from the basilica, show- ing the influence of Byzantine art, and peinting out the problems which beset the mediaeval builders and how the pointed arch had at last been worked out leading to the adoption of the Gothic style of archi- tecture, which perhaps represented the iost potent factor in the entire history of architecture. All these various phases of the subject were graphically illustrated by means of the pictures, and, although in some respects the lecture was technical, it proved to be highly interesting and in- structive to the audience. In closing, Mr. Flagg called attention to the opportuniti presented in this country for the creation of a new school in architecture, and he said that he had no doubt in the future the American style would be impressed on many of the fine structures to be erected. Thus far, he said, in this country architec ture was mainly an imitation of the forms of the past. ——— Alleged Practical Joke. Some unknown person attempted a fool- ish practical joke on Rey. Dr. S. H. Greene, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, by sending out a large number of invitations to attend a reception to be given at Dr. Greene's house, 1320 Q street, last evening. The invitations were sent without the knowledge of the host, but he learned about them in time and published a card last evening, apprising his friends of the nature of the “fake,” with the result that very few, if any, were caught. Dr. Greene says that he has no idea who the joker was, nor what was the motive back of such a mean and silly trick. ——————— to Baltimore and Return via Pennsylvania Railroad.” Tickets sold Saturday and Sanday, Octo- ber 26 and 27, returning Monday, the Sth, good on any train. “sL.25 en Potted Chrysanthemums,25¢ y and Tuesday.

Fixtures Lafayette Square Opera House.—The en- gagement of the young American trage- dian, Creston Clarke, at the Lafayette Square Opera House next week, promises excellent representations of Shakespearean and classical drama. From sire to son the mantle of talent fell in the great Booth family, but at the death of Edwin Booth the buskin of the famious Hamlet was be- queathed to his nephew, Creston- Clarke, and now the entire dramatic world is look- ing toward this young tragedian in expec- tation that he will maintain with dignity and brilliancy the proud heritage he has received. Creston Clarke was the favor- ite nephew cof the great tragedian, and he gaiaed much from constant association with his illustrious uncle. The resemblance of the young actor to Edwin Booth, too, is remarkable, and ther2 is the same sem- lance in manner, gesture, speech and dra- matic temperament. It has been well said that Creston Clarke looks more like Edwin Booth and acts more like him every day. In emphasis of his natural preference for Hamlet, Mr. Clarke has made a special production of the play with new and pic- turesque scenery and rare splendor in the dresses and accessories. Monday evening a splendid audience, in which fashion, lit- erature and the art will be numerously represented, will greet Mr. Clarke at the Lafayette Square Opera House, and it adds to the interest of the occasion that Mr. Clarke will play “Hamlet.” He is supported by the beautiful actress, Miss Adelaide Prince, and a very strong com- pany. Miss Prince is an actress of rare beauty and gifted accomplishments and has won recognition with Augustin Daly in London and New York, and as Ophelia the Philadelphia press recently said she Was much admired for-the simplicity and truthfulness to nature in her acting. The repertoire for the week 1s as follows: Mon- day and Thursday evenings and Saturday matinee, “‘Hamlet;” Tuesday and Friday evenings, “The Fool's Revenge; Wednes- day matinee, “The Merchant of Venice;’ in the evening, igar Allan Poe;’’ Sat- urday evening, ‘“‘Richelicu.” The music in “Hamlet” is from Ambrosa Thomas’ opera of “Hamlet.” . Stuart Robson in “The Rivals.”—At the Lafayette Square Opera House tonight Stuart Robson will present for the first time in Washington in thirty years Sheri- dan’s famous comedy “The Rivals.” “The Rivals” has often been called the greatest of all comedy creations, certainly the serv- ice it did dramatic art, as the pioneer among modern humorous plays, will always entitle it to the highest admiration on the part of the most intelligent class of thea- ter-goers. Mr. Robson's early training in the dramatic school of what is popularly called “the palmy days’ of the stage, has for years past rendered him almost the sole American actor having the ideal artistic equipment for the proper presentation of such plays as “The Rivals.” It is this ad- vantage,which has for nearly a generation rendered Bob Acres one of the most fin- ished and perfect performances in Mr. Rob- son’s repertoire. Grand Opera House.—Melba, the peerless soprano, will be heard at the Grand Opera House in one concert Tuesday night. She comes surrounded by a company that will aid her in her operatic selections, and which can also furnish acceptable concert num- bers. Campanari, the rich-volced baritone, who made such a favorable impression here during his engagement with the Hinrich’s Opera Company at the Academy of Music last spring, is one of the company, and in the program selected he is down for the dramatic prologue to Leon Cavallo’s opera “I Pagliac Mme. Scalchi is well known and very popular here. While she is not in her prime, she is an artist of the highest capabllities. She will sing the page sorg from the “‘Huguenots.”” The other support includes Mlle. Bauermetster, messo-soprano; Mr. Llcyd D'Aubigne, tenor, and a well equipped orchestra, under the conduct of Mr. Landon Ronald. The program includes the overtures to “Zampa” and “William Tell,” by the orchestra; aria from “The Marriage of Figaro,” Mlle. Bauermeister, and Melba will be heard in the brilliant aria, “Ah fors e lui,” from Traviata,” Marguerite in the third and fifth acts Gounod’s “Fausts’ and in the mad scene from “Lucia di Lammermoor.” The sale of seats already indicates that the house will be filled, and the concert promises to be the most brilliant of the season. National Theater.—Chas. Frohman’s Em- pire Theater company will be seen at the National Theater next week in Henry -Ar- thur Jones’ drama, the Masqueraders. Academy of Music.—Miss Nellie McHenry will come to the Academy of Music next week In her latest success, “The Bicycle Allen's Grand Opera House.—Commenc- ing next Wednesday evening and during the balance of the week, Raymon Moore's Comedians and George ‘Thatcher's Twen- tieth Century Minstrels will present the up-to-date minstrel farce comedy, “Cupid's Chariot. Everybody knows George Thatcher, the dean of negro minstrelsy, and Raymon Moore, the ballad singer and composer of “Sweet Marle.” These gentle- men are assisted by a host of clever come- @lans, pretty girls, graceful dancers and sweet singers. The plece is brimful of clean comedy, tuneful music and startling specjalties. In the third act the rollicking fun of minstrelsy will be interpreted by George Thatcher's minstrels. Lovers of wholesome fun should not fail to be on hand to weleome-this band of entertainers in the latest stage novelty. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Miss Fannie Mora, a sister of the Singer Helene, will be one of the bright stars at Kernan’s Lyceum next week with Hyde's comedians. Miss Mora Is like her sister in voice and action. Her songs are rendered in the same ccn- tralto and melodious voice. The Rays, John- ny and Emma, keep the audience in ood humor from their first appearance, Johnny antics bringing forth peels of laughter. Miss Polly Holmes, the Irish duchess, renders her songs in that true Irish voice. The Wilmount duo, Newsboys’ quartet, Geo. Murphy and Kittie Kursale, in a funny Mr. sketch, are very pleasing. a very clever Dutchman, wi is an_ excellent dancer, The and Venie; the dancing wonders, Lest McAvoy; Harris and Walters and the leys will all be seen with Mr. Hyde's ‘gh- class and excellent company of comedians. Bill Nye and Bert Poole—The large ad- vanced sale of seats for the entertainment to be given at Metzerott Hall indicates a widespread interest in the unique liter: entertainment. This will be the first time that a Washington public will have the op- portunity of seeing and hearing an illustrat- ed humorous entertainment. It differs irom other illustrated entertainments in the fact that there is no darkening of the hall and no obscuring of the star entertainers. Hoth are at all times in full view of the audience. As Mr. Nye is giving his inimitable stoi and sketches in his droll and very laughable Mr. Poole, the lightning cartoonist, busy with various colored crayoas before a large placard 40: drawing the most humorous pictures to fittingly cor- respond with Mr. Nye's . The sub- ject of Farming Exposed will be the thread upon which their gems of humor will be strung. The entertainment promises to be a genuine treat to all lovers of choice humor. and no one should miss it who can possibly be at the hall tonight. “Black America.”—The success attending the production of “Black America” in this city has been of such a phenomenal order that the management has decided to con- tinue the show all next week. Convention Hall was hardly able to accommodate the immense crowds that came nightly to see and hear the dusky performers, and each succeeding night saw even larger audiences than the night before. The program next week will be about the same, with some few minor changes. All the attractions and features which proved to be so enter- taining at the performances which have gone by will be reproduced, and some new ones will be added to the list. Odd Fellows’ Hall.—Prof. Markos will give two spiritualistic seances tomorrow at 3 and 8 p.m. At these seances he will duplicate the most difficult of all the mod- ern mediums, and, in addition, will introduce some new and startling features. Marie Wainwright. —Miss Marie Wain- wright and an exceptionally strong com- pany, headed by Nathaniel Hartwig, Ba ton Hill, Hattie Russell and Gertrude Nott, will be at the Grand Opera House during the week beginning Monday, Novem- ker 4. On Monday and Tuesday nights and the bill. will be nt drama, “Daughters of Eve.” in s Wainwright was so well re- st year, and which she has since played over two hundred and fifty tim Wednesday and Thursday nights and Sat- urday matinee will be deveted to the fa- mous com he Love Chase,” gor- geously costimed in the style of Charles II. On Friday and Saturday nights Miss Wainwright will Introduce the new society drama, “His Puritan Wife,” by Florence Schoeffel. vary Baptist Church.—Every year at the Calvary Baptist Church there is an annual concert participated in by the at the Wedresday matines the brilli: Vaughn class, and. each year sees a more enjoyable event: than the one preceeding. This year the program promises some en- joyable things and the instrumental and vocal number, to ‘say nothing of the lit- erary features, make up a list that is ex- ceptionally good.:The concert will take place at the Calvary Baptist Sunday school house, Friday evening, November 1, at 8 p.m. Among these who will take part are Mrs: Thomas C, Noyes. The Madrids, Messrs. Holmes,:Gallaher, Yundt and Jud- son, Mr. David’ C. Bangs, Mr. Percy S. Foster, Miss Ethel T. Camp, Miss Flor- ence McNelly, Mr. Elphonzo Youngs, jr., Mrs. Frank Bryan, Mr. J. J. Fisher and the National Trio; Messrs. Phil. Baer, El- mo Jasper and John Baer. Dr. J. W. Bischoff and Mrs. .W. H. Coombs will act as accompanists. Columbia Musical Parlors.—As usual most of the attractions on the graphophones, Kinetosecpes and kineto-graphophones will be changed the coming week. The ‘“‘Trilby’’ dance by the Leigh sisters, to be seen on the Kinetoscope, is the first barefoot dance ever produced. The “Midway Dance,” as danced on the Midway Plaisance, is still the leading attraction. On tMe grapho- phones, the songs “Henrietta” and the vocal solo by Weber, set to the music of the “Honeymoon” march, are probably the most futeresting attractions. The atten- dance this weck has been exceedingly large. Mr. Hanford’s Tour.—Charles B. Han- ford’s mgny friends in this city are look- ing eegerly forward to his engagement week of November 18 at the Academy of Music. The popular young tragedian and his two co-stars, Elihu R. Spencer and Nora P. Brien, have met with great suc- cess, so far this season, both artistically and financially. Mr. Hanford’s Virginius has evidently made a most decided im- pression. His magnificent physique, his rare command of gesture and facial ex- pression, coupled with a voice of almost unlimited range, must make him almost ideal in this character. Mr. Hanford has also scored a success as Damon, Shylock and Mercutio. Of Miss O'Brien the critics have nothing to say but words of praise. A_ beautiful and winning Juliet, a loving Virginia and a clever noble Portia she is making many friends. Mr. Spencer is adding much to his lau- rels by Fis vigorous and finished imperso- nations of Cassius, Bassanlo, Romeo and Pythias and Iclius. - Next week the company will finish its Pernsylvania tour and will then go into Maryland and Virginia. ——__ WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET. Poultry and Eggs Lower Today— Cheese Higher. With perhaps the single exception of cheese, prices in the local wholesale produce market today are unchanged or lower, as a rule, than those of a week ago. es are about a cent a dozen lower, butter is no higher, save in a single grade, seconds, and poultry is lower. But the difference between the prices asked today and those of last Sat- urday is, however, but a slight one, poultry exhibiting the difference most marked. Cheese runs about a cent a pound Ligher and gives some evidence of still further ad- vancing. Vegetables show litile, if really any, change in prices. Game, too, remains unchanged. Beef and other meats are about as last quoted, with no indication of any material change one way or the other. The market still continues to be a grandly sup- plied one, both in quantity and quality, and its tone is a firm, healthy one. Respecting butter the market is very Tauch in the same position as that of la: week. Arrivals have been moderate, and fancy fresh creamery has been slightly In excess of current wants. But there has been no shading of prices, however, al- though slightest defects cause a drop of from one-half to one cent a pound. Firsts are in free supply, seconds are a_ cent higher, and the lower grades, where qual- ity is good, sell fairly well. Imitations are firm, and fancy June creamery is in good demand. As the weather grows cooler the quality becomes higher, and the market is firmer, with no promise of any material or early change in prices one way or the oth- er. For fancy Elgin and other western extras 24 cents a pound zre asked. Choice, 22; first seconds, 18. Choice baker: stock, 2 to 14; New York tubs, 17 to 20; dairy print, 16 to western, 10 to 14; ryland and Virginia creamery, 15 to 19; dairy packed, 13 to 16. Cheese is higher today, although the demand is not really strong, and despite the fact that the higher tendency is re- sisted. There is a firm feeling, however, in nearly all grades. For New York state full cream, large, 11 cents a pound are asked today; for flats, 12) and 13 for ponys. = The receipts of eggs have been somewhat lighter, particularly in fancy stock, due to the advancing cold weather. Yet, they a fraction lower, there being no very heavy demand, and because, too, of the great num- ker of iced stock. The tendency is not, how- ever, downward. From 18 to 19 cents a dozen are asked for near-by fresh; 16 to 18 for western and southern fresh; 14 to 15 for iced and limed goods, and 6 to 8 for guinea or keat stock. Poultry is abundant and generally lower. The demand is increasing, and there are evi- dences of a rise in prices. Today drawn turkeys sell at from 10 to 14 cents « pound; live, 8 to 10; live spring chickens, 8 to 10! dressed, 10 to 12; old stock, 6 to 8; ducks, 9 to 11, and geese, 6 to &. No change in prices for game is no<ed, the large demand being fully met by an abund- ant supply. The prices are: Venison, sad- dle, per pound, 18 to 20; whole deer, buck: per pound, 8 to 10; bear, saddle, 10; pheas ants, 50 to 60; rabbits, per dozen, $1 to $2 quail, $1 to $3; wild turkeys, per pound, 10; woodcock, each, to 40. Vegetables and fruits are fairly plentiful, of good average quality, with uncnanged prices. Cabbage, $1 to per hundred; new potatoes, $1 to $1.50 a barrel; sweet potatoes, red, $1 to $1.50 a barrel; eastern shore sweet potatoes, $1.50 to $2 a barrel; yams and hay- mons, $1 to $1.50 a barrel; beets, $1 to $2. hundred bunches; yellow onions, $1., a barrel; turnips, 60 to Virginia white beans ed peas, $1 to $1.11 4 to 6 cents a quart; tomatoes, 75 $1.50 a crate; fancy table apples, $: barrel; fancy California oranges, $2. a box; Messina, $2 to $2.50; Valen $i. lemons, $5 to $7 a box; grapes, 1¢ cents a ten-pound basket; chestnuts, 4 to 6 cents a pound. Beef and other meats remain about as last quoted. Live cattle, 2 to 4 1-2 cents a pound; lambs, 3 to 4 1-2, and sheep, 2 t vi with calves, $20 to $40; calves, 3 to 6 1-2 cents a pound; z ST. STEPHEN'S REOPENIN Services to Be Held Tomerrow in the Re nstructed Church. For the past three months there has been a force of workmen constantly employed upon St. Stephen's Catholic Church, which is located at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 25th street. Five thousand dol- lars has been expended {n carrying out the plans of the architect, and of this amount a portion has already been raised, while the fair, which the members of the parish are scon to open, is expected to net a large sum. ‘Tomorrow the services will he those suita- ble for a reopening, with the addition in this case that the Rev. Dr. D. J. Stafford is to deliver the sermon. The choir is to ren- der an unusually impressive musical pro- Tthe improvements are principally in and around the sanctuary at the south end of the edifice. The space formerly used for ty is now occupied by two small The sacristy rooms have been moved bayk into the addition made by tearing out the rear wall and by extending it back some distance further. The rooms occupy the same relative position that they did formerly. Both the large center chapel and the ones to its right and left are ached over at the top by ornamental spans. Light is furnished the side chapels by sneans of two windows in each, at present filled with opalescent glass, but intended to be replaced, as s00n as may be,by memorial windows.

What Nate Salsbury Says of Audiences at Black. America. “No such chorus was ever heard before anywhere in this world.” The speaker was Nate-Salsbury, the proprietor of “Black America,” and he was seated back of the stage of Convention Hall last night. His reference was to the immense volume of sound made by the six hundred negro performers, who were singing “Roll, Jor- dan, Roll. 7 “There is not a trained volce among them,” continued Mr. Salsbury, “‘and yet they sing in perfect harmony, and with an earnestness that can be brought out of no similar body of white people. Since I have been handling this entertainment I have met the best people in every city and they have expressed to me their surprise and gratification at the work produced by these negroes. In some of the larger Cities the newspapers have taken up the subject and treated it from an ethnological point of view. It has been a revelation to them, the precision and perfection of the work performed by these people of color. This is the first real opportunity that the ne- groes have had to present an entertain- ment of any dignified character. Hereto- fore the negro has made q monkey of him- self and showed only the lowest and lud!- crous side of his nature. “I have been particularly gratified since I have been in Washington with the char- acter of the audiences that have witnessed the performances of Black America. Near- ly every clergyman in the city has been present and some of the very best pe®ple are nightly included in the audience. I don’t know but at first there was an im- pression that Black America was a per- formance pezuliarly for the negro race, but the people are fast learning that it is an entertainment worthy the attention of the best and most cultivated, and that it has an educational, as well as an amusing feature. At first, you know, the per- formances were given in the open air, but the effect of the singing Is much better in Convention Hall than with nothing but the sky for a sounding board.” the POOCORDOSOOOROOOSOOOCCOSOOS $Sudden Changes From cold to heat, and from heat to cold, are experienced at this season.
