Mr. Sousa Talks About “El Capitan” and Its Critics—Other Matters of Local Interest, President Paul of the Choral Society has appointed the two standing committees as follows: Finance, D. G. Pfeiffer, chairman; W. H. Daniel, Dr. Frank T. Howe, W. B. King, Stesius Meade, C. J. James and Miss Amy C. Leavitt; chorus, N. B. Fugitt, chairman; Messrs. Norton, Cunningham, Boone, Capt. H. L. Prince, N. H. Camp and C. A. Lee. A meeting of the finance committee was held Thursday evening, at which Prof. Josef Kaspar, the musical director, was present by invitation, and the plans for the coming season were discussed at length. While no definite action wae taken it was the opinion of a majority that there should be a change in the nomenclature of the classes of membership, those now known as honorary members, who have contributed to the support of the society, to be here- after called sustaining members, while the honorary roll shall include only those who for good reason shall be considered worthy cf complimentary recognition. It was be- Meved that next season the society should give three concerts, the first to be the “Messiah,” to be presented during the Christmas season at the Congregational Church, with organ accompaniment and with one or two soloists of great distinc- tion, the others to be taken from local singers. The. second concert, it was thought, should be a short cantata and “Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise” was sug- gested, with a miscellancous program. The third concert will probably be some larger work, such as Dvorak’s “Specter Bride,” to be given with splendid quartet and full or- chestra. It is proposed to issue instead of the usual formal prospectus, a neat booklet, giving a brief history of the Choral S ciety, the works it has presented and the singers and musicians it has brought to this city, so that the friends of the organi- zation and the public may know what has beea accomplished during its long career. Whea John Philip Sousa was last in Washington he was congratulated by h’s old friends on the success that his opera “El Capitan” had made. “Yes,” said Mr. Sousa, “it has made a big hit, but what has surprised me has been the variety of op'n:ons expressed on the work by the New York critics. Some have said it was full of melody, while others have asserted that 1 didn’t know how to write anything but march music. Of course each critic has a right to his own opinion, and is pre- sumably honest in expressing it, but I must confess to some indignation when one said that I did not know how to orchestrate. lf there is one thing that I have studied thorougily it is orchestration, and when I was playéng second violin I used to make money by arrang:ng compositions for or- ckestras. I was complimented by Mr. Ar- thur Sullivan himself for the orchestration I made of his opera ‘Pinafore,’ which was done for what was known as the Phijadel- phia Church Choir Company. We started and had a run in Philadelphia, and then went on a tour through the New Fugland states. It was in some town in Connecti- cut, I think, that the company was play- ing, when Mr. Sullivan came into the theater. No one knew him, and after listen- ing to the cpera for a while he went to Mr. Mead, who was the manager, and asked him where it got his orchestration. “He told him it was arranged by a young man named Sousa, who was leading the orchestra. ‘Well,’ said he, ‘will you take him my card, and say to him it is as good as I did myself,’ and he gave kim a card on which was engraved ‘Arthur Sullivan Now, a man who will say that I can’t chestrate after I have been doing it su cessfully for fifteen years, without ever having fault found with my work, either don’t know or makes the statement with malice. I'm satisfied with the hit ‘El Cap- itan’ has made, and its substantial results are gratifying.” “Are you going to play your band right through the summer?” he was asked. “Yes,” was the reply. “I’m going to play at Manhattan Beach until September, and then I'm going to take a vacation and go to Europe. Miss Minnie Tracey has had many offers to sing in concert next season, but she has declined to make any engagements in that direction, for she feels that her best work is done in cpera, and that she ought not to waste her time, her voice and her dramatic power. It is not unlikely that Miss Tracey may head an opera troupe next season, and will be given oportunity to display the full scope of her power: The music at the Church of the C nant last Sunday evening was unusually varied and fine. Mr. Bernerd A. Ryan, the basso, sang a solo and a duet with Mr. Pearman, and a chorus, which has been well trained by Prof. C. J. Toof, the or- ganist of the church, gave several excel- lent numbers. Tomorrow night Miss Alice Pillsbury, the contralto cf the Cecilian Quartet, w:ll be the soloist. Miss Anita Cluss, harpist, of this city ts playing harp solos at Keith's Union Square ‘Theater, New York. Miss’ Cluss has made a very successful appearance in New York, and has already been ergaged to play harp solos in Boston and Philadelphia. ‘The Sunday Night Music Club celebrated the birthday of the composer Weber at the residence of Miss Florence Davis, on 13th street, last Sunday evening, playing the overture and a quite long potpourri from “Der Freischutz,” including a scene and aria, arranged for clarionet, with four hands, pieno and string accompaniment, the solo by Mr. W. Phillips; Miss Bertie Reichenbach sang “‘Agatha’s Prayer” and the arias “Wie nahte mir der Schlummer” and “Kommt ein schlanker Bursch,” from the same opera. They also played Weber's overture, “Euranthe,” end his concert- stuck, op. 79, arranged for four hands, plano and string orchestra. The anni- versary of the Russian composer Glinka having occurred during the week, they studied some of the music from his opera, “The Life of a Czar,” and a piano quartet. Invitations are out for the last muscale of the season by the pupils of Mrs. Z. D. Buchner, at the Universalist Church, next Friday evening, June 19.

With the exception of butter and exes, ihe conaition of the iocal wholesale producé market tod." is that observed a week ago. Bytter is haif a cent a pound lower. That is, in the finest grades, the other grades not being yet affected. Eggs have dropped several marks, being today 2 cents less a dczen than they were a week ago. Cheeve shows no change !n price, and practically nene in condition. Poultry continues plen- tiful, with prices about as they were, despite an unusually active market. Vege- tables and fruits are arriving in increased quantities, and their quality is rapidly im- proving, although prices show no material change. The changes in beef and other meats are only those noted from week to Week. The market throughout is remark- ably active, with a firm and healthy con- dition prevailing. Liberal receipts of butter, exceeding slightly the demand, are responsible for a slight decline in the finest grades. Those grades are, therefore, somewhat unsteady, and the general tone is slow. However. prices are about as low as they can well be, as may be seen from the following: Fancy Elgin and western extras, 17 cents @ pound; choice, 16; firsts, 14; seconds, 13. Choice bakers’ stock, 10 to 12; New York tubs, 12; dairy print, 14; western, 10; Mary- ie nd and Virginia creamery, 14; dairy pack- Cheese remains both in price and condi- tion as last reported. New York state full cream, large, 10 cents a pound; flats, 9, and ponys, 10. 2 There being an increased supply of eggs on the market, especially storage goods, prices have dropped 2 cents a dozen, the prices prevailing today being: Nearby fresh, 12 cents a dozen; western, 10; southern, 9; keat or guinea stock, 4 to While poultry is plentiful, the demand ts such that prices are kept’ down to those prevailing last week: Live chickens, 10 to 11 cents; dressed, 12 to 15; old stock, dress- ed, 8 to 9; live, 4 to 6; capons, 16 to 18; ducks, 12 to 13, and geese, 6 to 9; spring chickens, 15 to 20. Vegetables and fruits, while more pienti- ful, remain practically, as to prices, as re- ported last week: Cucumbers, per box, $1 to $1.50; carrots, per barrel, $1.50; cauli- flower, per barrel, $4; kale, per barrel, 50 to 75 cents; celery, per dozen, 25 to cents; squash, per box, 75 cents to $1; spin- ach, per barrel, $1 te $1 new peas, per barrel, $3 to $3.50; beans, per box, cents to $1,; beans, Georgia, per basket, 25 to 50 cents; asparagus, per bunch, 3 to 6 cents; lettuce, per barrel, $2.50 to $3; per basket, $1 to $1.50; potatoes, fancy, ‘new, per barrel, $2.50 to $3; choice, per barrel, $1.50 to $2; new, per bushel, 90 cents to $1} culls, per barrel, 75 cents to $1.50; to- matoes, per crate, Florida, $1.50 to $2; egs plant, per balf-barrel box, $2. to $3.50; beets, per 100 bunches, $3'to $5; cabbage, new, per barrel, $1 to $1.25; onions, Ber- muda, per crate, $1.40 to $1.50; yellow, new, per bushel, 40 to 50 cents; turnips, per bar- rel, $1.50; squash, white, per crate, $1.25 to $1. beans, white, New York mediums, $1.10; New York pea, $1.05; marrow, $1.20; Virginia, white, 75 cents; white, mixed, 50 cents; colored, 50 to 60 cents; strawberries, per quart, 2 to 4 cents; raspberries, red, per quart, 4 to 8 cents; cherries, per quart, 8 to 10 cents; watermelons, to $50 per 100, The following prices show that in beef and other meats the conditions rema' practically unchanged: Live cattle, from 2 to 4% cents a pound; lambs, 4 to 5'%; spring lamb, 6 to 8; shcep, 22 to 314; cows with calves, $20 to $45; calves, 5 to 7 cents a pound, and dressed hogs, 4 to 7. ——<—— Abandoning a Bay Ridge Train. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I desire to call the atention of the Wash- irgton patrons of Bay Ridge to a practice on the part of the managers of the train service between these points which is ll- able to cause t serious inconvenience. A party of us visited that place on Thurs- day, June 11, and intended to return on the train advertised to leave there at 6:59 p.m. When that hour arrived the people who had gathered in the car ready to start were abruptiy informed by the con- ductor that ord-rs had just been received to abandon that train, and that ne train weuld run to Wa on until &. The reason given for this action was that there were only enough Washington people there to fill one car, and the managenient had cided to save the expense of one train. It was found alsy that this had been done several times before this season, and of course it is liable to occur again when- ever the management think It advisable, and since if they can abandon the 6 i in this manner they can for the : son abandon the 8:15. Washington visitors to Bay Rilge have no certainty of being brought back until the railroad officials consiter it profitable to run a train f that purpose. The 6:5) triin is advertised in the daily papers, on the daily programs and on the tickets sold at the depot, and ro more fiagrant instance of bad faith and violation of contract can well be conceived. You cre at liberty to give my name to any one desiring verification of this statement. BAY RIDGE, ——_—_ Death of Sergt. Maj. Harrington. Sergt. Major M. Harrington, U. S. M. C., who has been sergeant major for over ten years, died at the Naval Hospital on Tues- day night of pneumonia.

Somewhat of @ bombshell was exploded last evening among the members of the company of High School Cadets organized several weeks ago by Maj. H. T. Domer for the purpose of attending the reunion of Confederate Veterans at Richmond, June 30, when Maj. B. R. Ross, drill in- structor of the regiment of High School Cadets, announced his intention of organ- izing a four-company battalion, made. up of High School Cadets, to go to Richmond, and that it- would be the only body per- mitted to go to Richmond as High School Cadets. The announcement of Maj. gtoss has dis- rupted the plans of Maj. Domer's com- pany, and the latter is to be divided into two companies Monday next by Maj. Ross, who will also organize a company at the Business and the Eastern High Schools. These four companies will constitute a battalion, which will in all probability be placed in command of Maj. Von Bayer of the Central School. The advent of four companies has caused some speculation among the ex-officers of the three schools as to who will be placed in command of the provisional companies and platoons. Maj. Ross is to make the appointments. If it is found impossible to obtain the High School rifles from the school author- ities, Maj. Ross, it is stated, will exper- ience no trouble in borrowing the necessary accouterments from the Washington Light Infantry Corps, The battalion expects to leave the Gth street depot at 1:30 p.m. June 30, by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. At Rich- mond an enthusiastic welcome by the citi- zens and the local military is assured. The Mount Pleasant Field Band, sixty pieces, will also go to Richmond, having been engaged to furnish music for the re- union. A large party of Washingtonians, In addition to the local Confederate Vet- erans’ Association, is also expected to par- ticipate in tne trip. The only expense to the boys will be the railroad fare, as quarters and meals will be provided by the Richmond committee.

Then, too, the parties, whether of age or Kot, must state under oath their full names, age, color, whether married previ- cusly or single, whether related or not, and, if so, in what degree. ‘The new law authorizes the judge of any court of record or any justice of the peace to perform marriages, and it prohibits any minister from performing marriages here until after he shall have been so au- thorized -by the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict, “anything in any law now in force in paid District to the contrary notwithstand- Another interesting feature of the new law is the provision that the husband shall pay a fee of at least $1 to the person per- ‘orming the marriage. Under a penalty of & fine of not less than $50, nor more than , every person hereafter performing a marriage here must make a return of it to the clerk of the court within ten days thereafter. Mr. John R. Young, the clerk of the court, stated to a Star reporter this afternoon that all of the Presbyterian ministers have shown to the court the required proof of their standinog, as have ail of the Metho- dist and Episcopalian ministers. So, too, have many of the Catholic ministers, and several of other denominations. Today the court will duly authorize such as have made proof, and others will be authorized as they may from time to time hereafter submit the required proof to the court. But few colored ministers have, sald Mr. Young, so far made the necessary proof. —_——.__ One dollar will buy 100 ft. boards; we keep everything to build a house.
