Baskets and Other Usefal Articles for Sale—Universities Will Have an Evening to Themselves. The first week of the Teachers’ Bazaar was brought to a clcse Saturday evening by second division A. The attendance was up to the standard, and everybody appar- ently was happy and generous. The camel, although showing signs of weariness after a week of hard and continuous work, will- ingly made its customary trips around the hall, proudiy bearing the prominent offi- cilals connected with the bazaar. The display of second division A was by no means Inferior to that of the others. Of its two main booths, one was devoted to baskets, while in the other a variety of useful articles were on exhibition and for sale, including centerpieces and doilles, fine needlework, chair scarfs and tidies, flat-iron holders, bed-room slippers, and more noticeable articles in goodly array. ‘The baskets range from the tiniest of con- ceptions for babies to capacious hampers; from the most fastidious of luncheon car- riers to the indispensable market basket. A well-stocked fish pond is conducted by the division, and is well patronized. Prob- ably the leading attraction of “2 A,” ho: ever, is the cocoa booth, handsomely con- structed and artistically decorated with the colors of the division. The cocoa used is contributed by Walter Baker, who has not only supplied all that is needed, but has sent representatives to assist in the preparation and serving of the same. The New York Biscuit Company supply the bi cuits. The dainty surroundings and ser- vice make this booth an especially tempt- ing spot, especially as it is in charge of a quartet of young ladies, as pretty as any in the hall—Miss Myra Hendley, Miss Jennie Donovan,Miss Squier and Miss Anita Ulke. Another spot where thirst may be quench- ed is the drug booth, a soda water fountain being in full operation. At the administration booth Saturday evening Major George H. Harries, the trustee for the second division, greeted his friends, it being his first appearance aftr a critical illness. The program presented on the stage, including numbers by Mr. J. J. Fisher, and the dancing pupils of Miss Tretler, was greeted with applause,and the orchestral selections were also attractive in character. . Plans for the Week. One evening, probably Wednesday or Thursday, is to be set aside as university /night, when the faculty and students of Columbian, and several of the other insti- tutions of learning, will attend. The voting contests are fast becoming spirited.

Pat- terson and Mrs. Charles Finckel. At the administration booth Miss Kate T. Brown will also be glad to meet al her former pupils.

Proposed College in Connection With the American Universit About twenty of the prominent physici: end surgeons of the city met Saturday even- ing to consult with Dr. Stemen and Vice Chancellor Beiler concerning the proposed plan to establish, in connection with the American University, a college of medicine. Dr. Stemen was authorized a few weeks ago to organize and develop such a branch of the university work, and the physicians who met him by invitation are nearly all con- nected with some of the medical schools row in existence here. Dr. Stemen and Vice Chanceilor Beiler both made brief re- marks about the proposed institution, ond a general discussion followed, in which was outlined the plans for the college and the ary faciiities for putting it in run- order. It is proposed by the authori- ties to establish a medical college which shall be open only to graduates of ap- proved schools, and that the work shall not conflict with that of existing institu especial attention being given to scien svestigation and discovery. This sitate a college building with spe tories and a hospital. It is believed that when the plans are matured the necessary endowments will be forthcoming. gress MAINE'S SONS AND DAUGHTERS. Officers Elected at Their Annual Meet- ing Saturday Night. The annual meeting of the Society of the Sens and Daughters of Maine was held aturday evening. A large number of the members were in attendance. For the elec- fion of its officers for the ensuing year the name of Mr. Sidney Perham was placed in nomination for president by Gen. John B. Cotton, and he was elected by acclamation. The remaining officers who were elected were as follows: Pitman Pulsifer, first vice president; John B. Cotton, second vice president; Gen. Ellis Speare, third vice president: Chas. E. Crowell, recording sec- retary; Mrs. Alonzo Patten, corresponding secretary; Mr. Walter Higgins, treasurer; Mr. O. H.

Gude’s, 1224 F st—Advt. the restoration of the University of Vir- ginia. A number of the alumni of the un!- versity are at present residents of this city, and their efforts are untiring to replace the university buildings. To that end an enter- tainment will be given at Metzerott’s Music Hall this evening, in which Mr. F. Hepkin- son Smith and Mr. Thomas Nelson Page will participate. They will read from their own works, published and unpublished, and an exceedingly pleasant evening 1s guaran- teed to those who attend. Both of the gen- tlemen are too well known to need any rec- ognition here, and it is enough to say that they will appear. Banjo Recital—The banjo recital given by Mr. A. Farland at 1203 T street Saturday evening was one of the musical events of the season. Mr. Farland is undoubtedly the foremost banjoist of the country, and his work Saturday evening was up to his high- est standard. The program presented em- braced some of the most difficult music ever attempted by a banjoist, but it was played, and played well. Nearly every prominent banjoist of this city was present, and each one was warm in his or her praise of the excellent work done by Mr. Farland. The full mit of tickets was disposed of, and the results of the recital fully justified all ex- pectations. Mr. Farland’s playing opens some entirely new channels for the thoughts of rising banjoists. The music which he played was entirely above the standard of banjo music, and it created possibilities for the instrument which were never thought of before. Outside of the marvelous technique of the performer, he possesses a masterful touch, and exhibited foe true musicianly spirit in his interpreta- lions. The Second Cooking Lecture.—The sec- ond lecture in the course that is being de- livered by Mr. Thos. J. Murrey, the pro- prietor of the House restaurant, on the subject of good cooking, will be given to- morrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at Met- zerott Hall. Mr. Murrey’s lecture on the chafing dish so thoroughly pleased his audience that there is every reason to an- ticipate a large crowd tomorrow, when his subject will be “Fish and Shell Fish.” Mr. Murrey has always held that the fish that come from the Potomae and the Chesa- peake cannot be excelled in this world, but that the average Washingtonian scarcely appreciates the economic value of this fea- ture of the local market. In his lecture tomorrow he will show his audience how to avail themselves of their opportunities; not only when the different varitics of fish are at their best, but how to choose and then how to prepare them in a thor- oughly attractive manner. His talk will be of great value and interest to practical housekeepers and to all others who are interested in good living. New recipes for cooking fish and table hints will be the order of the day. Next Friday afternoon he will talk on marketing for the holiday table. The general admission to each of the four remaining lectures has been fixed at 25 cents, reserved seats, 50 cents. Minstrels for Charity.—The popular Car- roll Institute Minstrels, who have earned an enviable reputation by gilt-edge work since its organization recently, will give an entertainment for the benefit of the poor of St. Joseph's parish, at St. Joseph's Schcol Hall, 2d street between C and D streets northeast, this evening, beginning at 8 o'clock. The entire company is to appear and repeat the excellent program given several weeks ago at the Lafayette Square Opera House. Mr. Phil E. Baer, the talented vocalist and interlocutor, is to sing a new song, “The Picture in| My Heart.” The pertormance will be under the direction of the mana Mr. George T. Cox. The istrels are busily engaged rehearsing for an entirely new program, which will be presented at Carroll Insti- tute Hall Thursday evening, December 1). Prof. Oates’ Benefit—A musical and lit- erary entertainment will be given at Cos- tello's Hall,corner 5th and G streets north- west, tomorrow evening, for the benefit of. Prof. Wm. J. Oates. Dancing will follow the rendition of the program. Those who will participate are Mr. Guy V. Collins, Mr. L. E. Kaiser, Bredecamp, Prof. H. M. Hoskins, Master Willie Burke, the pupils of Miss Block in fancy dances, and pet Grabam Brothers of the Burnt Cork Club. Mr. Ernest Lent has ta rhapso- die erotiq: arp and horn, which will be played by the Washing- ton String Orchestra at its second concert in February. —— DRINK WAS HIS RUIN. And Despondency Led Thomas Du to i His Existence Thomas J. Dunn, twenty-seven years old, who had been on a protracted spree, reached the conclusion last week that he had no ex- cuse for remaining on this earth, so he took a dose of laudanum that landed him in an- other world. He occupied a room at No. 620 O street, and it was In this room that his body was found about 6 o'clock Saturday evening. A casual glance at the features of the dead man caused the belief that aleohol- ism was what had ended his life, but a search ef the room revealed several notes Written by the dead mar, showing he had contemplated the act for some time, and the empty bottle in which he had had the poison was also found. One of the dead man’s letters read “WASHINGTON, D. C., December 6. “This is. the true story of an unfortunate boy who is row about to face his Maker, and realizes the importance of hi: ep. Not long ago I was in good circumstance circumstances comparatively good, and was holding a gocd position, and I had a tuture il to look forward to. I contracte babit of drink, and my good.chances wi swept away. What money I had saved soon too. Then my friends and afterward lations went back on me. Everybody turned me down, and 1 was goaded to de- struction. “I am a physical and ncial_ wreck. Drink has made me a hopeless vagrant. But for the fact of drink 1 would not have the e een lost forever, as Iam now. A kind word don't est anything, but some people use them as though they are the most precious diamonds. Life has become un- bearable, and may the Lord forgive every- Lody who has driven me to this.” It fs understood that in th Dunn had signed he ill Dunn,” he made accusations 2g rela- tives, but as the coroner learned that the accusations had no foundation, but were only the result of a dis d brain, he de- cided to suppress this part of the letter. Dunn was last seen live about 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, and his dead body was found by Frederick Tripp, from whom he rented the room. His relatives live at No. 460 Ridge street, from which number his funeral will take place. Deceased was a brother of Michael Dunn, the Capitol guide who died suddenly some months ago, and since his brother's death Thomas had been drinking heavily and at times seemed very despondent. His friends think that his brother's death was what started him to drinking. ae D. William Oyster’s “Butter Chat.” Since publication of butterine frauds the sale of butter has vastly increased.

The crowd in attendance at the carnival of the Columbia Athietic Club Saturday night was a gay ohe, and the numerous at- tractions of the gymmasium entertainment and the more permanent ones of the booths and their charming guardians were greatly enjoyed. There were throngs about the paddle stands and the various booths where bicycles, banjos, music boxes, tea sets, punch bowls and other valuable and useful articles were displayed to invite the test ef the votaries of luck, while the fishing pond, shooting gallery and the wonderful Kinetoscopes received a full share of at- tention and patronage. The special xuesis of the evening were members of the Mary- jJand and Baltimore Athletic clubs and the Ariel Boat Club of Baltimore, and although the representatives of these crack organi- zations were not great in numbers, they made up for it by their goodfellowship and the interest they took in everything. The entertainment in the gymnasium was cx cellent. The art reproduction, “Napoleon and Josephine,” was repeated by request, and “Three Urchins,” a striking presenta- tion of the familiar picture of three mis- chievous farmers’ boys sitting on a country fence, . made a hit. Master Eddie Davis performed a graceful skirt dance, and there Were evolutions on the trapeze by Messrs. Sewell and Ross, and an exhibition of high and tancy kicking by Mr. J. Robert Elder. During the evening Prof. Get 2 of the Marine Band played a trombou.e solo that broke the rule regarding encores. Several articles were voted during the evening. Mr. Derrick held ticket No. 15, for which he had paid 15 cents, and it was awarded a $100 bicycle. The candy repro- duction of the emblem of the club,a winged arrow, fell to Mr. W. 8. Chesley, and Major Curtis received a horn-handled silver cork- screw. ‘the handseme sole leather full dress suit case fell to No. 86, which was held by Mr. Cluskey Cromwell. Tonight the Washington Lodge of Elks will be the guests, and the liveliest evening of the carnival is expected. Miss Kirby will give a jockey dance in the entertainment, and there will be fancy and trick bicycle riding by Mr. H. Rhine, and club swinging by Master Arthur Plant. The art reproduc- tions will be “Nydia” and “The Fates.” — Death of Israel Deming. Israel Deming died suddenly at his resi- dence, 1422 6th street, Saturday night.
