Hoover. who died Wednesday, the 13th Instant, were held at the Assembly Presbyterian Church this afternoon. The services-were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Little, pastor of the church. Mrs. Hoover had for many years been a member of As- sembly, and many kind words were spoken of the woman whose loss will be mourned by a large circle of relatives and friends. Mrs. Hoover was an old Washingtonian, having lived here all her life. She had at- tained the ripe age of seventy-seven years, most all of which had been full of useful- ness, not only to herself, but to those about her. Mrs. Hoover was the mother of sev- eral of Washington’s oldest business men, most of whom are living. Her grandchil- dren numbered in the neighborhood of fifty. Several grandsons acted as pallbearers. ——— 1 Celling, $1.25 Per 100 Ft. Co., 6th st. and New York ave. ment. a Runner Fined.

Se trees For False Pretenses. Frederick, alias Herbert, Smith, an elder- ly white man, was convicted in Criminal Court No. 1 yesterday afternoon of obtain- ing $10 from Dr. Wm. A. Hammond through @ letter alleged to have been written by Col. A. Hartsuff of the army, and with ob- taining a like sum from the wife of Gen. John 3. Mason in a similar manner. A motion for a new trial was entered, and the SS remanded to jail to await CENTRAL RELIEF COMMITTEE Regular Meeting and the Business Trans- acted. to Afd the Poor Considered id Amounts of Money Contributed. The central relief committee held a meet- ing yesterday afternoon to transact the regular routine business of the body and to consider the conditton of. affairs that confronts it in the work of securing money and supplies for the alleviation of the needs of the poor. Judge Cole, the chairman of the commit- tee, presided, and there was a very fair at- tendance of members. Most of the time was taken up: with the reading of reports from the various subcommittees, showing how they had transacted the business al- lotted to them. When it came to a discus- sion of ways and means the committee met with little to encourage them. The state- ment was made that the appeal which the committee made through the daily press had not met with gratifying success. Only a few hundred dollars have been raised and practically the whole sum has been expended. “3 Mr. James E. Fitch, the chairman of th subcommittee on canvass, reported that at & conference held earlier in the afternoon it was decided to report against the propo-" sition to make a house-to-house appeal—at' least for the present. Mr. Fitch said that the local papers had again shown their will- irgness to assist the committee in every possible way, end he thought it would be best to rely upon another appeal through this medium to secure the wherewithal to feed the hungry and to clothe and warm the cold. In the discussion that ensued it was developed that while there have been en unsually large number of requests for aid, the committee so far had been able to meet every demand. The funds are now exhausted, and unless the people of Wash- irgton come to the front with money, food, clothing and fuel, the work of the com- mittee will be greatly hampered. All the reguler charity organizations of the Dis- trict have been overrun with applicants since tho severe weather set in, and they find themselves now with depleted treas- uries and no let-up in the demands upon them. Following the report of the auditors, ap- Proving the accounts so far submitted to them, the question of the method of paying bills was taken up and a simpler method than the one which has prevailed so far was adopted. Dealers who honor the or- ders of the committee will not have to walt so long hereafter before their bills are paid. The cost of coal and groceries was also dis- cussed. Secretary Wilson stated that bids had been called for from dealers in various parts of the city and they had agreed to furnish the goods ordered in small quanti- ties at wholesale prices. He also stated that coal dealers had delivered coal in quantities of one-eighth of a ton without extra charge. Upon motion of Mr. Fitch, the thanks of | the committee were extended to Miss Kib- bey, through whose liberality the committee will have the use of two large store rooms, at the corner of 8th and D streets, free of charge until April 1. > Startling, but True.

The musicale to be given at the Colum- bia Athletic Club tonight promises to be one of the most ambitious informal en- tertainments ever arranged by the club. The program will include numbers from Thomas, Chopin, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Goddard, Moskowski and Wagner, and they will be interpreted by some of the best-known musicians cf the city. Those who will contribute to the evening’s en- joyment are Will A. Haley’s Orchestra, Miss Gertrude Ravenburg, Mr. Ernst Lent, Miss Emile Russell, Mrs. Marguerite Nolan- Martin, the Allegro quartet, Miss Fannie AtLee and others. The entertainment is to be given in the hall of the club house, which will be tastefully decorated for the occasion. A stage has been erected at one end of the room and preparations have been made to entertain an especially large number of guests. The committee in charge of the musicale consists of Mr. C. W.

The regular bi-weekly meeting of the Bricklayers’ Union was held last evening at Typographical Temple, with President Maghan in the chair and Messrs. Sullivan and Dowell secretaries. Among the matters brought up was that of the construction of a row of houses, heretofore referred to in The Star, by Sen- ator Sherman. The committee of the Centrai Labor Union having charge of the subject was requested to send a statement of the whole matter to the national convention of brick- layers and masons, now in session at Wor- cester, Mass., and ask that the latter offi- cially communicate with Senator Sherman and appeal to him to sustain the principles of trades unionism regarding hours and reasonable pay.

The Chemical Society of Washington held its thirteerth annual meeting last night at the Cosmos Club. President E. A. De Schweinittz occupied the chair, The re- ports of the treasurer, W. P.

Chestnut; treasurer, W. P. Cutter, and executive committee, C. E. Monroe, E. A. De Schweinitz, Wirt Tassan and W. G. King. The matter of changing the regular meetings so as to combine socialbility with scientific discussion was considered and the suggestion will doubtless be carried out. The society now has about 150 mem- bers. —_———> Old Soldiers’ Theater Crowded. The new marble opera house at the Sol- diers’ Home was last night honored with its first really theatrical production, and throughout the entire five acts the old sol- diers seemed to be particularly interested. Long before 7:30 o'clock, when the per- formance began, the lower floor was filled to its full capacity. The occasion was the presentation by the Weber Dramatic Com+ pany of Washington of “The Confederate Spy.” a very thrilling melodrama of war times. The acting of Mr. Daniel F. Murphy as the daring spy was excellent, “and far above the rest of the company. Miss Lil- lian Hurdle as Maude Bradley and Mr. Henry F. Dolan as George Waterman were quite,good. Mr. H. W. Weber as Lockery Schneidiebecker, a Dutchman, was ex- ceedingly. funny. The singing of Mr. W. T. Murphy, who took the minor parts of Officer Mulgarry and Cl uded loudly. Others in the cast were Mr. John C. Bennett as Ainsley, Mr. H. D. Anderson as Major General Banks, a Guy E. Jenkins as Captain Willard, Mr. T. G. Calvert as the sentinel, Mr. W. H. Mellach as Colonel Lei AMUSEMENTS. Lehengrin.—Mr. Walter Damrosch has always been well received in this city. So- clally as well as musically he has been highly thought of. Probably in no other city, except New York, has he held such intimate relations with the people as in Wasbington. He was for some time the director of the Choral Society, and the works given by that organization under his leadership were supplemented by ac- companiment by his excellent orchestra. His name has been associated with the best successes of German opera in this country. His visit last year was the firet oppertunity the people of this city had ever had to listen to a series of four per- formances of Wagnerian opera. Those per- formances were artistically successful and created positive enthusiasm among the lovers cf German opera here. When the announcement was made of a season this year it was received with pleasurable an- ticipation; the more so, perhaps, because coupled with the statement that three Wagnerian works were to be given was the further declaration that Mme. Melba, perhaps in some respects the greatest living prima donna, was to open the sea- son in “Faust.” The subsequent announte- ment that she was unable to appear, and the substitution of ‘Lohengrin’ for “Favust,"" wos a disappointment to many, but “Lohengrin” has always been a pop- ular opera here, and an excellent per- formance was expected. The audience that assembled in the La- fayette Square Opera House last night Was one of the most brilliant, if not the largest, that has ever been seen in Wash- ingtcn, where brilliant audiences are not unusval. All the boxes on the lower floor and all the mezzanine boxes were filled, and presented an array of beauty, fash- fonable attire and dazzling jewels that le a remarkable effect. The body of the house was well filled, as were the two 5 orchestra was all that cculd be desired, and for the work that it is called upon to perform it can hardly be surpassed. It is obedient in every respect to the conductor’s will, and Mr. Damrosch’s interpretations of Wagner are accepted as authoritative. In a popular sense “Lohengrin” is pe haps only less familiar than ‘““Tannhauser, and while it marks the transition of the great German composer into his more am- bitious works, and although the vocal score is largely recitative, there are still some numbers full of melody and passion, and the well-known “Bridal Chorus” is familiar to every one who has ever attended a wed- dirg. Elsa has been sung here by Nordica, Minnie Hauk, Emma Juch ard others of lesser note, and the part is one which aiways gains the affectionate regard of the audience. Johanna Gadski, who essayed the part last night, was hardly up to its requirements. While her voice has some Sweet tones, and in the song from the bal- cony was heard to advantage, it has not sufficient power to interpret the exacting demands of the full score, and in the con- certed numbers with the chorus she could hardiy be heard. Riza Eibenschuetz acted the character of Ortrud most effectively and sang with spirit and power, although at times there were strident tones that were uncomfortable to listen to; still, in the main, she was satisfactory. Both Gehard Stehmann, as King Henry, and Carl Somer, as Telramund, had voices of sufficient pow- er to properly interpret those two chara ters. The former was dignified in his bea ing, as became the part, and the latter was quite effective in the duel in the first act and in the duet with Ortrud in the second. William Mertens delivered the announce- ments of the herald in fine form and de- served the recognition he received from the audience. The chief feature of the evening, aside from the orchestra, for the work of which too much praise cannot be given, was the singing of Ernst Kraus of the title role. This gentleman came here compara- tively unheralded and proved himself to be a singer of the very first magnitude. His voice is clear and ringing, with an abun- dance of power to rise above chorus and orchestra without apparently being forced. It is a tenor, and not a high baritone, as is that of Jean de Reszke, and he handles it with consummate skill. It has “evidently been trained in the best German school and meets all the requirements made upon it with ease and grace. Mr. Kraus has a fine stage presence, and in the garb of the white knight made an impressive figure. He is a spirived actor, and altogether is the best Lohengrin that has been seen and heard in this city. ‘Tonight Lilli Lehmann, by some consider- ed to be the greatest Wagnerian soprano now before the public, will appear in “Die Walkure,” and in the cast will also be Emit! Fischer, whose noble bass voice will be heard with splendid effect in the role of ‘Wotan. Lilli. Lehmann will also sing in “Siegfried” tomorrow night. National Rifles’ Armory.- r. Polk Mil- ler, the well-known delineator of the old- time southern negro of the plantation type, who gave such an enjoyable entertainment in this city Tuesday evening last, at the Lafayette Square Theater, will repeat the same tonight at the National Rifles’ Ar- mory, on G street. Mr. Miller does not give a lecture on the characteristics of the negro race, but his entertainment consists of a string of sketches, stories and songs that are enjoyable in the extreme. Mr. Miller did not receive his impressions of the characteristics of the negro from study or reading, but from actual contact with the race during his early life. His imita- tions of the negro dialect and gestures are as nearly perfect as it is possible for a white man to make them. Church of Our Father.—‘‘An Evening of Music, Art and Persuasion” will be given by Prof. and Mrs. Dobbins, at the Church of Our Father, corner 13th and L streets northwest, this evening, at 8 o'clock. The entertainment is a most unique and attrac- tive one, and is given under the auspices of the local Woman’s Christian Temper- ance Union. Haley’s Band Concert.—The second con- cert this season of the Washington Military and Concert Band, of which Mr. W. A. Haley is the director, will take place Sun- day night at the New National Theater. The program has been carefully arranged and will prove attractive to all musical tastes. The band numbers include Sousa’s “El Capitan” march, the ‘Tannhauser” overture by Wagner, Nesradi’s paraphrase “Loreley,” Bial’s ‘Bon Voyage” patrol, Waldteufel’s “My Dream” waltz, Michaell’s Idyl “Forge in the Forest,” Bendix’s char- acteristic “Butterfly,” Tobias’ Wing Dance, «Little Kinkies” end a selection from Bi- zet’s Carmen. The soloists will be Miss Mary Helen Howe, soprano; Miss Jessica E. Tabler, contralto, and W. R. Kendrick, cornetist. Miss Howe will sing Michacla’s song from “Carmen,” Miss Tabler will sing Morsell’s “Rock, of Ages” and Mr. Ken- drick will play Hartmann’s “The Favor- Me.” The advance sale of tickets is said to be quite large, and a good attendance is assured. ———— It Rained Yesterday.

The Combinatk Which Froze Mr. Ryan Out. An effort to break the famous pool by which Mr. Thomas F. Ryan was prevented from getting control of the Seaboard Air Line Company is, it is stated, to be made in the near future, probably today or to- morrow. The Star's authority for this state- ment is a gentleman who is inter- ested in the pool, and who last night’ informed a Star reporter in Baltimore that it has been ascertained that a number of those who signed the agreement to give the pool absolute control of their stock for five years, so far as making a sale was concerned, overlooked the fact that the agreement contained a clause that they were powerless to dispose of their holdings except by securing the consent of three-fourths of the members of the pool, and some of them assert that they fully expected a sale of their shares to take place when the price reached $125 a share, which was the figure offered by Mr. Ryan. In order to secure the relief which these people believe it is in the power of the court to grant, a suit will, it is said, be in- stituted in one of the courts at Baltimore, probably the United States court, to dis- solve the pool, and geod lawyers say there is no doubt of the final result, which they say will be in favor of those who are the Piaintiffs in the case. The suit wilt not, it is understood, be brought in the name of Mr. Thomas F. Ryan, but it is pretty well understood that the plan has the hearty sympathy of some of Mr. Ryan’s friends, and that they fully expect to see Mr. Ryan in control of the Seaboard Air Line Company in the coursé of the next few months. A Star reporter called last evening at the residence of Mr. R. Curzon Hoffman, presi- dent of the Seaboard company, in Baiti- more, and in an interview with that gentle- man inquired for further particulars re- garding the rumored suit as above stated. Mr. Hoffman assured the reporter that he had heard nothing of the matter, and declared that he knew nothing whatever as to the intentions of the members of the pool as to their movements in the future. As Judge Watts, the manager since Mr. Mon- cure Robinson’s death, was at his home in, Portsmouth, Va., it was impossible to dis- cover what the pool Intends to do when. the case ts filed in court, but it is safe to assume that they will not recede from their. Present position without a legal fight. —+ Shelving, Dressed, 2 Cents Per Foot. Libbey & Co., 6th st. and New York ave. —Advertisement. Hearing “ Testimong in Several Held-Te|- Gases. Mrs. Briggs Protests Against.a Saloon Opposite Het Property—Other Protews Heard. The session ofithe excise board this morning opened with the consideration of the charges against Martin Schlosser,whose saloon is located at @61 Pennsylvania ave nue southeast. This iethe case that has been fought for years by Mrs.-E. E. Briggs, who owns a large majority of the land in the immediate neighborhood. She has maintained all along that the presence of this saloon was @ detriment to her property and a menace to the large number of school children who attend the Wellach School. Through a technicality in the law a salcon in this lo- eality has been licensed every year. Mrs. Briggs appeared in her own behalf and forcibly urged the closing of the saloon. She rehearsed disgraceful proceedings about this place and scored Lieutenant McCath- ran for his favorable report upon the case. She owned a square of ground in the neigh- borhocd and was the heaviest taxpayer about there. The presence of the saloon Was a-constant menace ‘to her. She dared rot come home late at night for fear of passing this: saloon, where men were con- stantly going in and coming out. Colonel Bates suggested that if she de- sired to avoid the saloon she could get off the cars at 6th street and proceed home ae way, Ts. Briggs caustically retorted that sh wanted to be free to come and gO iueiwae she pleased. It was that consideration that prompted her to buy a whole square. The saloon in question was on the corner opposite her property. Because a door did not open on her side of the street the sa- loon keeper was not required to get her signature, although she was per se the one most concerned. Attorney Shoemaker of the Anti-Saloon League made a strong appeal to the board for the rejection of the license. Attorney Frank P. Madigan urged the granting of the license. The record of the police against the applicant was good and there was nothing specific against the place. Real Estate at Auction.

A surprise was sprung in the next case. It was that of George Delahay, 801 D street northwest. This case was held up at the request of the Anti-Saloon League, but no charge was filed until late yesterday after- noon, when an affidavit was presented frem Alice M. Boyce, an occupant of the house in which the saloon js located, setting forth the violations of the law and specifically mentioning the Sunday sale of beer on Sep- tember 13 and 20. The applicant denied the charge and the case went over for consideration without argument. A letter from Mrs. Sarah A. Spencer of the Spencerian Business College, protest- ing against the issuance of the license, was read, setting forth that she had seen boys in knee breeches coming out of the place. Because of a general protest, the following cases were taken up, together for cor sideration: .M.\Leach, 1847 L street istreet; Luke Kearn. rthwest Wm. L. Drury, 1190 20th «street northwest. Rev.
