THE OPENING CEREMONIES ———— To any one entering the hall of the Washington Light Infantry Armory last evening from the cold and windy streets | outside the scene within was one of gor- geous beauty. It was the opening of the great bazaar for the benefit of the building fund of the Washington Hebrew Congresa- tion, and if the first night of such an affair criterion, the fair will be a tre- mendous success. Around the walls of the hall were pret- tily draped booths presided over by matrons and fair young women, an orchestra of fif- teen pieces rendered appropriate music, and until well toward midnight the hati was a scene of gayety an@ unalloyed enjoy- ment. In the center of the hall are five beoths separate from each other, so that the crowd had free access in all directions. And there was a great crowd. From the time the doors opened there was a steady stream of people entering the hall, and few left until all was over or until their money was all gone. It was a geucrous crowd, too, and the appeal of countless pretty girls to take chances or votes rarely went unanswered. The fair was formally opened a few min- utes after 8 o'clock by Vice President Ste- venson, who was escorted to the hall by Mr. James L. Norris. He was introduced to the assemblage by Mr. Simon Wolf, and made a brief but happy address, which was responded to even more briefly by Mr. H. King, jr., the president of the Washington Hebrew Congregation. Mr. I. L. Blout, the chairman of the committee in charge of the bazaar, seemed to be omnipresent, with a royal welcome for everybody and an eye always to tne best interests of the bazaar. Vuriety of Diversions. Hundreds and hundreds of electric lights made the scene* one of bewildering bril- aney, and their effect among the bright and gaily deccrated booths was beautiful in the extreme. The booths are all draped in cheesecioth of the lighter colors, pink, pale blue, yellow.and Nile green harmoniously combined, and giving a bright and cheery espect to the great hall. An oriental effect A Pleasing Corner. was sought for by the decorators, and in this they were eminently succ ul. Arti- cles of every conceivable description are on sale at the various tables, ranging from a pion to a set cf bed reom furniture, inted screen to a bicycle. In one gars and cigareties are on sale, and men who never smoked before were tempted to spend some money for one form or other of tchacco through the wiles of the beauti- ful girls who stood behind the counter and acted for the time being as saleswomen. At the west end of the hall is a paddie stand, presided over by Mr.Harry King and a group of handsome young gentlemen, who urged the crowd to step up and try their luck and if they did not succeed at first to fall, fail again, every dime being that much more for the fund which is being raised to build a new temple for the congregation. At the other end of the hall is a buffet and a din- ing room, while scattered around are fish- ponds, a post office, flower, candy and lem- cnade stands, an art department, as well as the big booths, from which are sold the thousands of handsome articles which have been contributed by friends of the move- ment. In fact, there are hundreds of dif- ferent ways in which one may get rid of his money at the lazaar, and the gold reserve itself would not stand very long against such temptations as there are offered here by the young girls who are here, there and everywhere, urging the visitors to invest their dollars, quarters and dimes. A Daily Paper. One of the handsomest articles at the fair is a landscape by Mr. Max Weyl, the artist, which he has presented to be dis- posed of for the benefit of the building fund. It is a characteristic piece of work Gcne in Mr. Weyl’s best style, a bit of woods and a patch of still water in the foreground. It has been put up for raffle and will doubtless bring a large sum. One of the features of the bazaar is the Review, the daily paper, which is is- sued under the management of Mr. At the Post Office. Gans. It is a rather imposing, well-printed and well-edited sheet, and was on sale throughout the hall last evening, hundreds of copies being disposed of. ‘At S$ o'clock the band struck up “FIzil to the Chief.” Vice President Stevenson and Mr. James L. Norris, accompanied by Mr. Simon Wolf, Mr. H. King, jr., Rev. L. Stern, Mr. Isaac Gans, and other heads of committees, marched to the administra- tion booth, where the formal opening took place. The Opening Exercises. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. L. Stern at 8 o'clock. Then Mr. Henry King, jr., president of the congrega- tion and chairman of the executive com- mittee, addressed the assemblage, saying: “As president of the Washington Hebrew Congregation and chairman of the fair committee, it becomes my present duty to extend to you, ladies and gentlemen, cor- dial and hearty welcome to our fair. It is hetd for the purpose of creating a fund for the building of a temple. I would earnestly appeal to your generosity and to the public to aid us by your generous support, to en- able the members of our congregation in their noble work to erect a temple that should be national in its character—a tem- THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MA EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 a.m., 7th meridian time.

HAVANA, February 11.—The greatest activity was displayed in military circles to- day. The festivities in honor of the arrival here of Gen. Weyler, the new captain gen- eral, who landed yssterday from the steam- ship Alfonso XIII, are ended, and another caapter in the history of the island of Cuba has been opened. At the capiain general’s headquarters the reports which he sent for upon his arrival yesterday, telling of the number of men available for active service, the number of sick, the quantity of ammunition and sup- plies in possession of each column or de- tachment, the state of railroads and tele- graph lines, and the probable location and strength of the enemy, were being collected and tabulated by a number of clerks. The captain general intends to have the whole situation mapped out clearly before any movements of importance are undertaken. It is urdersteod that steps are being taken to orgerize a large cavalry brigade for f mediate service. Considerable difficulty heing experienced in securing the necessary animals, as a great number of them ha aiready heen corralled by the eremy. But Supply of it is expeeted that the efforts of the captain general will result in strongly reinforcing uh mounted infantry now at the disposal of Spanish_commanders. Armored Railroad Cars. Orders were issued this morning from headquarters to make a considerable in- crease in ‘thé number of armored railroad cars for the use of the troops. These cars have been of great assistance to the Span- iards in protecting convoys of pro s passing through parts of the counir fest¢d with insurgent bands. Pilot engines, also protected, are sent ahead, in order to guard against the explosion of dynam‘te along the road, and then comes the mili- tary train itself. Sometimes there are to of these armored cars attached to train. One armored car is placed imme: ately after the engine and the other brings up the rear. Both are filled with troops and are protected with boiler iron in 1 cases, although this has been found to of insufficient protection, in nearly cases, insurgent bullets passing and through the cars. Therefore, the armor plating has been increg thickness or in the number of plate: Pilot Engine Deratied. _ But there is room for ccnsiderable im- provement even now. For instance, news was received here thfS morning that the insurgents hed succeeded in derailing a pilot engine between Coliseo and Sumidero. The work was done so effectively that the mili- tary train, with its armored car, were under the fire of the insurgents very soon after- ward; but, thanks to the gallant defense of the milflary detachment defending it, the train was rescued. In addition a passenger train at Retroces has been derailed, plundered and burned. The insurgents have also burned the rail. road started at Nieves, as well as destroy- ing by fire there a number of cars. MADRID, February 11.—Dispatches _re- ceived here from Cuba say that 107 insur- gents were killed during the recent fighting there. —_>___ BURSTING OF A MAIN. Many Narrow Escapes From Death Near Cleveland. CLEVELAND, Ohio, February 11.—At an early hour this morning an immense water main burst with terrific force on Franklin avenue hill, just west of the Cuyahoza river. With the great volume of water that poured out several hundred feet of the hill, on which was located many small houses, was washed into the river. A small one-story frame house, occupied by Mrs. Mary Ravey, sixty years old, No. 9 Franklin hill, was inundated, and with its contents was hurled into the river. Mrs. Ravey was drowned. Her body was re- covered an hour later. A New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio freight train was passing at the foot of the hill at the time, and the force of the water carried several cars into the river. On the cars were three of the train crew and the men were carried down with the cars. Two of the men jumped before the river was reached, and escaped, but the third was dumped into the river,,and but for the as- sistance of the tenders of the Columbus Street bridge would have been drowned. The man was badly injured. Houses were washed along or dropped in- to a great pit scooped out by the raging water, and much damage done. Many narrow escapes froth death are re- ported. John McDermott, who livcd In the rear of his saloon, corner Franklin avenue and Columbus street, narrowly escaped drown ing with his whole family. His wife and two children, one a four-months-old babe, slept in a back recom and the husband in the room adjoining. About 3 a.m. 2 watch- man from the Columbus street bridge aroused McDermott by breaking his win- dow. The water was then knee deep. On entering his wife’s room, McDermott found her sleeping, with a child on either side, and the waters whirling almost on a level with their heads. McDermott carried all to the street in their night clothes. — These Will W: Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: Silas Love and Mary B. Wash- ington; James H.
