Residents Made Happy by «xm Abund- ant Water Supply—Parade of the Patriarchs. Mormon missionaries-are again operating along the line of the canal. They are being seriously listened to, and many converts, it is reported, are being made. The homes of the country people are being turned into preaching stations, and Mormon literature is being flooded into the section. A Pleasant Entertainment. The Linthicum Students last night played before 650 people. A demonstrative recep- tion was given them. Three short plays, full of continuous action and bright dia- logue, comprised the program. “Hatter and Printer’ was the first, the characters being assumed by T. O. Pulizzi, Jas. A. Keliher and Helen Prentiss Dono- hue. Their work was deservedly applauded throughout. “By Special Request” received its first production in the District last night. It is an exceedingly clever society sketch, and served to give congenial parts to Guy V. Collins, J. Barton Miller and Blanche Pu- lizzi. Their conceptions were highly com- mended and general presentation praised. As Blake, the servant, Mr. Chas. Brown was easy. An old success, “A Race for a Dinner,” was the third of the plays, and proved even more attractive than on the first produc- tion. R. C. Balinger was the star of the comedy and very capable support was given him by Nathan Weill, John C. Lewis, W. B. Sebastian, Charles Brown, Jas. A. Keliher, A. Blumenthal and B. Peyton Fletcher. It was Mr. Lewis’ first appear- ance with the students and a very favora- ble impression was made. The specialties of the program were fur- nished by Col. Ed. Hay, Mr. Geo. O'Connor and Miss May Blossom, whose graceful fancy dancing was a distinct feature of the program. Mr. Chas. McEnaney was the accompanist. Visitation to Covenant Lodge. Night befcre last Grand Master Sorrell and the officers of the grand lodge paid their semi-annual visitation to Covenant Lodge, No. 13, I. O. O. F. The officers were examined in the secret work and the accounts of the secretary were examined. The result was flattering to the lodge. The connubial degree was conferred upon three brethers, who were later presented with handsome silver spoons. Brother J. D. Cathell, the oldest past grand of Coven- ant, having been initiated in 1848, addressed the members appropriately, and Brother Faulkner spoke on the beauties of Odd Fel- lowship. Brother Evans sang. Brother Cathell read an original poem, “King Alco- hol,” and Brother Shepherd told of the in- teresting things he saw on a recent trip through the south and in Cuba. A united vote of sympathy was tendered Brother Brewer of Mechanics’ Lodge on the loss of two members of his family with- in two months. A banquet followed speech- making. Appreciation of Plenty of Water. The residents of Georgetown Helghts this mcrning sent a communication to The Star voicing their appreciation of the water ser- vice Improvement. It recites that the thanks of the residents of Georgetown Heights are due to Capt. Burr, in charge of the water de- partment, for his successful working out of the problem of furnishing a full supply of water to the highest fixtures in the houses along Road street and vicinity. The new 20-inch main laid across P street bridge, from the U street pumping station to street, and from thence a 12-inch pipe to 36th and T streets, has enabled Capt. Burr to cut the old reservoir at 32d and Road streets entirely out of service, and apply direct pressure to the highest mains, thus forcing water up to a level of 240 feet, or twenty feet higher than the highest level permissi- He in the old reservoir, and obtaining ten pounds more pressure than heretofore. Sev- eral experiments in this direction failed, but at last the right plan was discovered. ‘The dwellers on the high ridge, who have suffer- ed for years from a scarcity of water, are now happy. Parade of the Patriarchs. The annual parade and reception of Georgetown Patriarchie No. 42, will take Place Monday evening, November 18. The Georgetown Patriarchie will be accompanied by Patriarchie No. 18 and the local P. G. M. councils and lodges in full regalia, headed by the Union League Drum Corps. The march will be made through the principal Streets to Grand Army Hall. There an ex- hibition drill will be given by Patriarchie No. 18, under the command of Capt. William Gray, and a set of jewels will be presented by a committee of ladies of the Relief Corps. = Real Estate Matters. John R.

National Theater.—Miss Olga Nethersole repeated her masterly performance of Gil- berte in “Frou Frou” at the National Thea- ter last night to an audience that was one of the largest of the week, and which testi- fled its appreciation of the actress’ artistic work in the most empbatic manner. She invests each character with a portion of her own personality, and appeals to her au- dience by the naturalness and earnestness of her interpretations. Her audiences have been notable for their numbers and char- acter, and her whole engagement has been a remarkable one. Tonight she will play “Denise.” Lafayette Square Opera House.—‘‘Hansel and Gretel,” Humperdink’s charming opera, which will come to the Lafayette Square Opera House next week, will be given with the same care as to cast, chorus and stage effects as it was given in New York. Its tour is under the direction of Mr. Augustin Daly, and that is a guarantee that the company and equipment will be of the high- est order. This wonderful work has taken place in the affections of all foreigners, for- merly held by “Cavalleria Rusticana,” al- though Maccagni’s opera tells of a tragedy, while in “Hansel and Gretel” a fairy tale is adroitly unfolded that will prove quite as interesting to the children as the older folks. It has been claimed that the music of “Hansel and Gretel” is the greatest which has appeared on the stage in the last twenty years. The work described in the English version as a “fairy opera in three acts” is presented in the original as a “fairy tale in three pictures.” However, pictures or acts, the three episodes of the tale—“At Home,” “In the Forest,” and “The Witches’ House”—go to form a masterpiece as suc- cessfully executed as it was happily con- ceived. The poet—the composer's own sis- ter, Madam Adelheid Wette—has done her share of the work with consummate skill, and the “rendering of the poem into En- glish,” a task by no means too easy, has been admirably performed by Miss Con- stance Bach. The preface to “Hansel and Gretel” is a preclude built up of the themes associated with characters and events of the story which is to follow, and opens with a hymn-like theme, which will be recog- nized later as the children’s evening prayer. Allen’s Grand Opera House.—Chauncey Olcott will begin an engagement at Allen’s Grand Opera House next Monday evening in “The Irish Artist.” Mr. Olcott, who is now one of the most successful stars in the dra- matic firmament and the acknowledged rep- resentative of young Irish romantic comedy, was born in this country of Irish parents, and inherits from them, no doubt, that keen appreciation of the Irish character and na- tive wit which has enabled him to achieve such a marked success in his chosen field of dramatic work. He possesses a remark- ably sweet and highly cultivated tenot voice, and his singing of his own songs in- troduced in his play never fails to charm his hearers. His sucess is not confined to his native land. Three years ago young Olcott went to London, where at first he found some difficulty in obtaining a hearing. This once secured he soon became a favorite. He will be supported by an efficient com- pany. National Theater.—Hoyt’s “Milk White Flag” will be the attraction at the National Theater next week. Academy of Music.—A league of theatrical stars composed of Charles B. Hanford, Elihu R. Spencer and Nora O’Brien will play the three chief characters in each of half a dozen standard dramas in the Academy of Music next week. Since the formation of this unique alliance, some six months since, it has appeared with unvarying success in about half a hundred towns. Not only have the three been hailed as exceptionally tal- ented players, but their assistants have had praise lavished on them because of their cleverness as actors, and the scenery and costumes have received commendation. It may seem almost needless to allude to Mr. Haprford’s brilliancy as an actor in this, his native city. Still, his friends may be glad to learn that he has won even greater tri- umphs than ever before in several heroic parts which he had never played before this season. Among them are shylock in “The Merchant of Venice,” Damon, in “Damon and Pythias,” Virginius and Othello, all of which, and more, he will im- personate next week. Mr. Spencer has shar- ed honors with him, and Miss O’Brien has gained unstinted praise for her acting in the leading feminine roles. The Old Homestead.—Denman Thompson's quaint and deliciously natural story, “The Old Homestead,” comes to the Lafayette Square Theater Monday, November fora week's visit. All the old familiar char- acters, Uncle Josh, Cy Prime and Seth Per- kirs, Aunt Tildy, Rickety Ann and the Ganezey boy, will be as eager as ever to wel- come their many admirers. The play will be beautifully mounted. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Robert Ful- gora’s “Hopkins’ Trans-Oceanic Star Spe- clalty Company” comes to the Lyceum next week. The list of notable attractions includes four of the highest salaried and artistic of European novelties procur- able, ard the best of our native spccialty artists. The Rossow Brothers—Karl and Franz—in proportion to their height, receive a higher salary than any other artists be- fere the public. The little fellows are eigh- teen and twenty years of age, twenty-six and thirty inches in height, and weigh six- teen and one-half and twenty pounds. As wrestlers, strong men, pugilists and born ccmedians they excel. They have been the craze Wherever they have appeared, and never fail to amaze and delight.” The Frenchman Apollo {s claimed to be the greatest wire-walker that ever lived. Jester is the world-famed Irish ven- triloquist and inventor of the walking ven- trijoqual figures. The Sisters Gehrue come direct from the Alhambra, London, and their specialty Is one of the prettiest danc- ing “acts” in America today. The American specialties include Robetta_ and Doretta in their inimitable “Chinese Carnival; Ryan and Richfield, the excelsior Irish delinea- tors; Ford and Francis, operatic duo; Tom Mack, the rising sun ‘of minstrelsy, and Robert Fulgora, the world-famous transfig- urator and lightning change artist, whose act this season is more artistically bewilder- Ing than ever. A Church Bazaar—The ladies of North Capitol M.E. Church have arranged to hold a grand bazaar in the lecture room of the church commencing Monday, November 18, and continuing for two weeks. Among the many booths will be a Christmas booth for toys and dolls, an ice cream parlor and a New England kitchen, where refreshments will be served each evening. Several mer- chants have kindly donated articles for the bazaar, and it Is expected that a good dis- play will be made. The proceeds will be for the benefit of the church debt. Columbia Musical Parlors—The hammer- ing and sawing incident to putting in the new front will cease in a few days and then the Columbia Phonograph Company will have one of the most beautiful fronts along Pennsylvania avenue. The attendance at this popular resort has been very large dur- ing the past week, notwithstanding the ob- structions which were necessary to make the improvements. Among the new attrac- tions on the graphophcnes next week are “Ingersoll at the Tomb of Napoleon” and “Put Me Off at Buffalo.” The latter Is a comic song by Dan W. Quinn, the celebrated songster. “A big attendance Is expected next week. — Manhattan Day at Atlanta. The Seaboard Air Line announces for Man- hattan day special round-trip tickets to At- lanta at $14, sold Friday and Saturday, November 22 and 23, good to return within ten days, this in addition to round-trip tick- ets on sale every Tuesday and Thursday at same rate.

Raphael, the three-year-old son of Mr. Ed. M. Birrell, residing at No. 310 South Fairfax street, met with a painful accident yesterday afternoon, which nearly caused the loss of one of his eyes. Mrs. Birrell had left the kitchen for some reason, leaving the little fellow and e sister about five years old Playing.- Suddenly she heard the child scream, and, quickly returning, she found him in a pool of blood.» It appears that the child, seeing a carving knife on a table in the room, attemptef to get it, in which he succeeded. After getting the knife, he at- tempted to get dowm, and while in the act of dcing so the chairon which he was stand- ing tilted and he felf to’ the floor, and on the knife, cutting an ugly gash about two inches in length just above the right eye. Mrs. Bruce, a neighbor, hearing the screams of the child, hurried in.and assisted in staunch- ing the flow of bleod Subsequently Mr. Birrell took the little fellow to Dr. W. M. Gibson's office, and several stitches were taken in the woun@ The little fellow ap- peared to be lively teday, and no serious re- sults are expected t result from the acci- dent. No Tidings: Yet. Nothing has yet been heard from Mr. J. W. Ebert, an aceount of whose disappear- ance was given in-‘The Star yesterday evening. It was reported yesterday that he had been found dead in Washington and that his body was lying in the morgue there. Mr. Otto Yeskie, Mr. Ebert's son-in-law, went to Weshington last night and saw the body lying in the morgue, but it was not that of Mr. Ebert. Today Mr. Yeskie went to Baltimcre to hunt around in the hos- pitals there for the missing man, it being, as stated yesterday, feared that he had beer taken ill and is now in one of the Baltimore hospitals. There has been some talk of suicide, but those who know Mr. Ebert discredit the idea, and say that he is the last man to have.taken his own life. Meanwhile his family are becoming more and more worried at his silence, especially now that they have heard from all their relatives in Baltimore, and he has not been seen by any of them. Will Appeal. In the corporation court yesterday in the case of the Cleveland Iren Shipbuilding Company agt. the Haskins Wood Vulcan- izing Company Judge Norton decided in favor of the plaintiff. The Cleveland com- pany made the big tanks in use at the works in this city for vulcanizing wood, but the Haskins company claim that the Cleveland company did not fulfill its contract in mak- ing the tanks, as they are not sufficiently etrong to withstand the great pressure need- ed. They, however, express a willingness to settle upon the terms of the contract when complied with. The Cleveland company contested this claim, and levied an attach- ment to secure the amount due on the tanks, upward of $22,000. An appeal has been taken from the decision of the corporation court. Sparring Contest. Jack Daly of Wilmington, Del., got the Gecision over Jimmie Lynch of New York in the fifteen-round eparring match last night at tne Henry Athletic Club Im this city. There was a large crowd of Washing- ton sports present besides several from the race tracks and this city. Daly had the advantage in height and rench, while Lynch is much more experienced as a Queens- berry warrior. Both men weighed about 120 poards, and Lynch was a trifle fat. In the seventh round Lynch was badly cut on the left temple while trying to avoid one of Daly's left-hand punches. The referee decided the contest in favor of Daly at the end of the fifteenth round. Daly was seconded by Tony Stannard and Jack Dor- sey; Jim Keating, Will Northridge and Will Reily were Lynen’s secoads. Pat Raedy held the watcn for Lynch and George Northriage for Dely.

Blackford, who has been at its head for so many years, will be interested to learn that a meet- ing of the trustees, held in Richmond on the 13th instant, the lease of the school, with its exclusive control as heretofore, was renewed to that gentleman until 1900. The plan at one time entertained by the board of separating the boarding and academic departments of the school, to which Mr. Blackford objected, has been abandoned. Faneral.

A COMPROMISE EXPECTED. The Controversy Between Commis- sioners and Market Company. The case of the Washington Market Com- pany against the District Commissioners, in which the company seeks to restrain the Commissioners from ousting market dealers on B street (north side), between 7th and 9th, was continued today, at the request of the Commissioners’ attorney, un- til next Saturday, and the temporary re- straining order, granted by Judge Hagner, was continued until the further order of the court. Speaking to a Star reporter today Gen- eral Wm. Birney, the attorney of the mar- ket company, said that he very much hoped, and was inclined to believe, that a settlement of the case would yet be made perfectly satisfactory to all the parties in- terested. ——. —_ OVERHEAD WIRES. Judge Kimball Decides to Give a Pending Case Further Consideration. Today in Judge Kimball’s court the case of Robert T. Tinker, a superintendent ‘in the employ of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, charged with string- ing overhead wires in violation of law was resumed. Messrs. Jere Wilson and Randall Hagner were in court to represent the tele- phone company, while Mr. Pugh represent- ed the District. This is the case in which a violation of law was charged on W street and Florida avenue, where wires were strung across these thoroughfares to give telephonic communication at the house of Mr. A. L. Barber. The law of 1888 pro- vides that no “additional wires shall be put up. In this case there were ten wires on the poles when the law was passed and since then some of the wires have been taken dowr and abandoned. Covnsel for the defendant argued that the work which the police interrupted last week was merely a restoration of the old wires and were not “additional” wires. The question raised in this case, the judge said, was one of importance and he de- sired to give it some consideration before finally disposing of it. ae THE HIGH SCHOOL REGIMENT. An Inspection to Be Held in the White Lot Next Thursday. The High School Cadets were again dis- appointed this year in rot receiving their uniforms on the contracted date, Monday, November 4, but procured the full consign- ment a weck later, which was last Mon- day. Owing to a strike of the cap makers the contractors were not able to deliver the uniforms sooner. The new cap {s the same as the new regu- lation cap recently adopted by the army. It was intended to have an inspection of the regiment Monday, but upon the poor showing of the companies when inspected Thursday, it was decided to hold it next Thursday, provided the weather is suitable, on the grounds just south of the White House. Since the first appointment of instructors in the graded schools there have been sev- eral changes. Quartermaster John Kelly has been appointed in the place of Sergt. Allen, at the Gales, and Capt. Daniel in the place of Lieut.'H. H. Platt, who re- signed, at the Jefferson school. Seon eases A Social Evening.
