To the Editor of The Evening Si In Saturday's Star a correspondent, who says he is a High School boy, and who signs himself ‘‘Easterner,” seeks to belittle the neme cf Jacqu Marquette by the re- mark that he is “scarcely mentioned in history.” This simply means that in his schcol studies Easterner has not read the right becks, and has yet to learn much concerning this wonderful continent, the greatness of whose history makes the east more than a string of fecble settlements. Any one familiar with the story of the de- velopment of the northw can show “Easterner” hundreds of pages of most interesting history of Marquette. He bears about the same relation to America that Dr. Livingstone bears to Africa. His matchless diplomacy changed howling sav- age enemies into peaceful allies. Unarmed and unprotected except by his own per- suasive powers, hg penetrated the wilds of the continent, d by his benign and cour- teous bearing made easy the establishment of peaceful relations with the ferocious western Indians. This peaceful reiation- ship was never disturbed as long as the great French pioneers held their amicable sway. For “2 ‘beginning, let “Kasterner” and all other High School boys read Park- man’s Discbvery of the Great West. In honoring Marquette they will honor them- selves more. is superb statue is not to the churchman; ‘but to the explorer. He needs no stone or tablet.

The restraining order preventing the ex- tension of the Great Falls road through the tract on its west end has been raised, and a big force will now be put to work. The spring season here will be a “hum- mer.” The commencement of work on the new Methodist University means the em- ployment of hundreds of men of various trades; the proposed A. L. Barber mansion will bring into active service another great’ number; the union depot construction is calling for an increased force daily, and Scores of houses in various sections of the town are actually going up and are in con- templation. Then there is practical talk of various im- portant enterprises taking root here within a few months. Much outside capital will come in and local money that has been lying idle for a year will be ficated. Confidence in values has been revived. The real estate market is quite brisk, and there are some unusually big deals on the eve of consummation. Dr. L. W. Ritchie has just invested $20,000 near the Aqueduct bridge, and Mr. John C. Hurst is putting up $12,000 worth of buildings in Harlem, a little to the west. The fine new plant of the Potomac Light and Power Company will be ready for serv- ice April 1. The chimney on the main build- ing will be 200 feet high and will be elec- trically illuminated at the top. The Great Falls Company have already re- ceived one of their handsome new cars or- dered some months ago. The opening of the streets to the west would mean much more to Georgetown in the way of advancement. There is a constant clamor going on for some action in this di- rection on the part of the authorities. Knocked Him Down. Kim Yuen, the keeper of a laundry on Dumbarton avenue near 32d street, was the victim of a dastardly assault Saturday about midnight? An unknown white man entered the place and wanted to procure his laundry, but not having his ticket the Chinaman refused to give it up unless a policeman would identify him. The man, without a word, hit the Chinaman on his face, knocking him down and rendering him unconscious. The man then picked up the laundry and ran away. When the Chinaman came to he called on Poilceman Conlon and told him the story. The face ot the poor celestial was badly cut and dis- figured, giving rise to the belief that brass knuckles were used. The Chinaman claim- ed that the man had taken more than one bundle of laundry. As he could not de- scribe the man, the chances are thet the Person will escape arrest. Remembered His Birthday. The friends of Rev. Father Aloysius Roc- cofort, S.J., formerly assistant pastor of Trinity Church, remembered his seventy- seventh birthday, which occurred yester- day. The teachers of the Sunday school and the scholars took up a private col- lection and raised $92. 1: was calculated to raise a dollar for every year of the life of the beloved priest, but on account of the ess of tme this wa impossible. With the money was purchased a cassock, a silk umbrella, half a dozen silk handker- iver watch, which was suita- , and about $15 in cash. The s e presented by Mr. Joseph B. Me- Girr, the superintendent of the Sunday school. who made a special trip to Phila- delphia for the purpose. Miss Florence C.

Amid a blaze of glory the fair of the National Fencibles was brought to a close Saturday night, after a successful run of tivo weeks. By far the largest crowd since th? opening was in attendance, and a rushing business was done, most of the ar- ticles remaining on hand at 11 o’clock being disposed of at auction, Yessrs. Shannon and Hall officiating as auctioneers. So far as is now known over $2,000 will be turned into the treasury of the Fencibles as a re- sult of the enterprise. The hardsome horse and trap will be pre- sented to the holder of one of the season tickets, probably next Saturday. A com- mittee of three reputable business men ts to be named, either this afternoon or to- morrow, and the matter will be placed in their hands, the company having no con- necticn with the selection of the winner in any w whatsoever. The committee will make known its findings through the news- papers, which will be the first knowledge of the same to reach the Fencibles. Prize Winners. Winrers of prizes announced Saturday were as follows: Bicycle No. 4, Jacob Strasburger, ticket 109; bicycle, J. S. Co- hen, ticket 79, series K; Haviland dinner set, Mrs. Charles S. Fletcher; widow's mite, $5 gold pléce, Mrs. Richardson; box at Lafayette Square Theater, Miss Mabel W. Bradley; box of silk handkerchiefs, Mrs. Whittington; silver knife and fork, Mrs. M. L. Champlin; picture, W. E. Baum; patent leather shoes, John L. Steele Competitive Drill. The members of the company are greatly int2rested in the Savannah interstate drill and a strong sentiment in favor of particl- pating in the competition exists. However, Capt. Domer states that no action in that direction will be taken until the quarterly meeting of the company, which Is sched- uled for the first Tue8day in April. In the opinion of Capt. Domer, the date set for the drill is too early and the extended or- der movements and rushes required in the program require too much time for prepa- ration to make the trip advisable. How- ever, it is not improbable that the Fen- cibles will take the trip, and if so, it will be with the intention of winning first prize. It Is stated that the Galveston semi-cen- tennial championship cup may be placed in competition at Savanna. Private advices from Little Rock state that the McCarthy Light Guard, one of the famous drill companies of the United States, will probably go to Savannah. -——_——.___ » An Enjoyable Entertainment. The Ladies’ Aid Society of Geo. H. Thom- as Camp, S. of V., gave at Medford Hail, corner 8th and I streets, Saturday even- ing an entertainment which was pleasing to many of their friends. A number of well-known amateurs took part. A “violin solo,” rendered by Miss Bertha Howe, for- merly of Rochester, N. ¥., won much ap- plause. She rendered one of “David's” most difficult “themes” for the violin. Miss May Adele Levers was the debutante solo- ist of the evening, and she won quite a triumph. Others who took part in the most creditable entertainment were Miss Abbie Johnson, Capt. H. M. Ambrose, Miss Derothy Houchen, Miss Lillian Dorsey, Mies Helen Reed, Miss Ella Lawrenson, Mr. Gilbert A. Clark, Prof. Murry, Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball and Representative J. A. Pickler. The audience was large and appreciative. Refreshments were served. ——_. In the Cars. A colored man named Henry Johnson, whose clothing indicated that he had not made a purchase at a clothing store for a number of years, was in the Police Court today as a vagrant because he had been found in cars at the Baltimore and Po- tomac Railroad Company’s car yards. He has been sleeping in Pullman and freight care at night ang begging during the day- th e. le had used the seats in the parlor cars as dining tables, and the grease and dirt done considerable damage tc the cars. veral ttmes when the railroad men cor- nered him in the cars he frightened them away by threatening violence. But . ipecial day he was unable to frighten off Officer McGrath, who locked him up. Now. he will spend two weeks on the farm. 4 ———_— Use Salvation Oil, the family liniment, RESTS IN OAK HILL Faneral Services Over the Late William B Webb. The District Bar Honor the Memory of a Dead Associnte—Resolu- tions Adopted. Funeral services were held today over the remains of the late William B. Webb, formerly Commissioner of the District, and cne of the leading members of the District bar. The body was taken from his late residence, 1918 F street, to St. John’s Church, where had aerembled many of those who had been aseociated with the deceased in the course of his long official and rrivate career in this city. As a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased, the District offices were closed, and many of the officials testified their personal re- gard by their presence at the funeral. The members of the bar were well represented, end there were delegations present from other interests with which Mr. Webb was connected. The hour fixed for the services at the church was 2 o'clock.

It is still undetermined whether the comet is traveling in a parabolic orbit or in the di- rection of an elongated ellipse, but it is expected that early developments will tend to settle this question. If it is the latier case, the comet will again return to view, but otherwise it will be lost in space in about a month, as roughly calculated by the observers. It was nearest the earth February 28, when it w: distant about 35,000,000 miles, and since then has been steadily moving away. —_-o-—____—_ Capital Camera Club Lectures.
