Ran- dall’s excursion resort on the Potomac, near cld Fort Washington. During the past few weeks the buildings and grounds at River View have been greatly improved and beautified, and the resort is now in all the beavty of its spring loveliness. The hardsome steamer Samuel J. Pentz, now the fastest side-wheel steamer on the Po- taraac, has also been put in thorough order for the season at a cost of $15,000. On a trial trip last Sunday she made the run from Washington to River View in thirty- seven minutes. The Pentz, for the ac- commodation of the pleasure seekers, will leave her wharf Sunday at 11 a.m. and 2:45 p.m., and a large throng will visit the View.

A very delightful evening was spent at Rauscher's last evening by the members of the District of Columbia Alumni Asso- ciation of the University of Virginia. In- stead of a formal banquet, a buffet lunch Was served, and as the evening progressed informal addresses and witty stories were told to enliven the occasion. An oil por- trait of Jefferson was conspicuously draped with the university and state colors. The “Soshul Club,” led by Stewart Ball, sang several songs and entertained the ban- queters with selections on their stringed instruments. Ex-Secretary Herbert, the retiring presi Gent of the association, called the meeting to order and introduced Prof. Orlando Stone of the university faculty, who rep- resented the institution at the reunion. He spoke of the progress that had been made in restoring the buildings so badly damaged by the fire of a year ago. Impromptu talks were made by Messrs. Holmes Con- rad, Robert M.

The members of the local military com- panies will be deeply interested in the an- nouncement that an interstate competitive drill is to be held in San Antonio, Texas, in the near future. All hope had been abandoned by the drill teams of the District National Guard of a contest during 1897. However, the San Antonio Interstate Drill Aseociation has decided to hold an inter- state drill during the latter part of June and the early part of July, and Is now ap- prising the leading military :ompanies of the United States that the prospectus of the competition is in course of preparation, and will be forwarded in a few days. The prizes to he allotted to interstate companies are first, $3,000; second, $1,000, and third, $500. ‘The zouave prizes are $1,000: and $500. There will be many state prizes offered, as well as individual prizes. The entire ar ragements are under the auspices cf «n as- sociation of the leading merchants of San Antonio, and it is announced that ail Habil- ities are guaranteed in a written ayree- ment, thus assuring promp: and positive satisfaction to all contestan:s. The announcement of the drill today caused quite a stir among the members of the National Fencibles, the Mortoa Cadets, the Emmet Guard and other crack drill teams. There is no question but that the Morton Cadets will atter] the drill, as it is compulsory for them to defend the cham- pionship title won a year ago at Savannah. The Natienal Fencibles may algo be looked upon as a cerainty, while the. Emmet Guard and at ‘east two other companies are strong possibilities. Some concern is felt, thouga, regarding the date set for the drill. The annual encampment of the troops of the District National Guard will occur at Fort Was! “ton, Mc.. arout the middle of June and, of course, no companies wil! be excused from participation therein. In view of this condition cf affairs an effort will probably be made to induce the San Antonio Dril! A: -lon to pestpore the competition for a week or so. The first prize offered for interstate com- panies at San Antonio is entirely satisfac- tory, but the second prize, it is thought, should be raised to $1,500 in order to attract companies from such a distance as Wash- ington. The indications are that the San Antonio contest will prove a great success, as quite a number of the crack companies of the United States are located in that section of the country. San Antonio is the home of the famous Belknap Rifles, the first holders of the Galveston semi-cen- tennial championship cup. The contest- ants will prebably include the McCarthy Light Guards and the Fletcher Rifles of Little Rock, Ark.; the Chickasaw, the Gov- ernor’s Guard of Memphis, Tenn.; the Branch Guards, one-time holders of the cup, of St. Louis, Mo.; the Thurston Rifles of Omaha, Neb.; and many organizations of less renown scattered through Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska and other states of the south and west. The zouaves will also beyond question of doubt be re resented more largely than at any inter- state drill of recent years. The members of the local companies are waiting further details of the competition with undisguised anxiety. Rumors are also afloat today of an in- terstate competitive drill to be held at Deer Park, Md., during August. The de- tails of this proposed military contest, however, are very meager at present and reg definite can be learned regarding —_+__ For Divorce. In petitioning today for divorce from Tbomas C. Parker, Bertha O. Parker, whose maiden name was Lincoln, accused her husband of adultery, drunkenness, non- support and with having cruélly treated and abused her and their little child.

She prays that her hesband be Joined from in any way interfering with her or the child; that she be given the custody of the child; that she be allowed to resume her maiden name, and that she be granted alimony and coun- sel fees. She is represented by Attorney D. W. Glassie. ee Very Nice White Pine, Dressed + a foot. Libbey & Co., 6th and N. Y. ave.. Advertisement. ————— Robberiés Reported. The police are advising merchants to be en the lookout for worthless checks, for a worthless piece of paper for $21,. which was signed “William Lottman,” was passed on a local jeweler this morning. A gold watch was purchased by the customer, who fave the Gass and received $4 change. When it was learned at the bank tat the check was worthless the police were aoti- fied, and they are now looking for’the man, who may attempt to pass checks on other merchants. About a month ago Fred. C. Hunter, a bicycle dealer who is in business at 1743 P street, hired a bicycle to a colored man, who failed to return it, and now he wants the police to recover the wheel. Mrs. Mollie Yewell, who lives at 1531 8th Street northwest, has asked the police to recover her gold watch. The timeplece was stolen from her house. A pocketbook, containing $10.50,was stolen from Mrs. Imogene Bears’ house, No. 24 F_street northwest, yesterday. H. J. Fowler, 617 L street northwest, complains of the theft of $10.60. The money was stolen from his trunk yesterday. Sprinting Race. There was an interesting and creditable sprinting race today across the District branch of the Police Court and along D street when Judge Kimball announced to half a dozen alleged vagrants: “I'll allow you men just one kour to leave the city. Waskingion 1s & dangerous place for tramps. The police will be on the lookout for you, and if you are again arrested. I shall impose stiff sentences in the work- house. Bo you agree to leave?” “Yes, sir,” was the prompt answer, in chorus. “Well, go. The smallest man in the party made a dash across the room and through the Goorway, and the other five followed at a trot. Outside they started along the street at a dead run, and were soon out of sight of the many spectators who left the court to watch their flight. No doubt remained that they would be far beyond the city limits long before the expiration of the allotted sixty minutes. ~ The men were Joseph Williams, James Troy, John Murphy, Frank Cassidy, Adolph Snyder and Eddie Ryan, and they were ur- rested last night at Eckington by Police- man Owens. They “claimed to be seamen on the way to the great lakes, where they hope to secure employment. Several of the ren produced letters of recommendation, and the court was of the opinion that they were unfortunates rather than professional tramps. ——————— An Impostor. “This man has been in the habit of stand- ing in front of a church on D street south- west, pretending to be deaf and dumb,” stated Policeman Harover in the Police Court today, after Robert Harrison had been arraigned as a hp “He bee deals begging paper, and fleeced a lar, a of charitably disposed persons. “I found that he can hear Harrison told @ glib story, but it availed him not. “Ninety days in the workhouse,” ruled the court. ae Very Nice White Pine, Dressed 2c. a foot.

Digby Bell, the favorite comedtan, will appear In the character of Doctor Willow, the Hoosier Doctor, in which he is accredited with having made an artistic and pronounced success. Like “Alabame” and “In Miz- zoure,” Mr. Thomas’ previous successes, the plot of “The Hoosier Doctor” is local- ized, the author having selected Indiana, or Hoosierdom, for its locale. The story of the comedy is said to be interesting, filled with pathetic and touching episodes of self-sacrifice, and brimful of bright comedy lines and ‘situations. Mr. Bell will appear in a character entirely new to him in the eye of the theater-going public, his Doctor Willow being a self-sacrificing, gen- tle, timid man, whose every effort in life has met with failure until at the beginning of the comedy he has graduated at the head of his class in a homeopathic hos- pital. His home life has been disrupted and dominated by a virago mother-in-law, he being a widower with three daughters, and-he is impelled by the vicious bicker- ings of said mother-in-law (impersonated by Laura Joyce-Bell) to seek in a clandes- tine marriage the affection and heart in- terest which js denied him at his own fire- side, and it 48 through this secret mar- riage that many of the contretemps and much of the humor of the comedy is de- veloped. There are many counter-plois and several pretty little love stories be- tween the other characters of the comedy. The full strength of the supporting com- Pany will be used in the presentation, in- cluding the following ladies and gentle- men: Digby Bell, Laura Joyce Bell, the Misses Jennie Kennard, Mable Stricklan4, Viola Miles, Katherine Gwen, Marie Dud- ley, Emily Hager, Ethel Vance and tie Messrs. Frank Munroe, Herman Hirshberg, William P. Sheldon, George LeBras, Carl O'Dell, George F. Wright, Frank L. Davis, Gage Clark, Charles Mitchell, Edward Lerble, George Hogan, D. B. Cramer, Henry Knott and others. The presentation will be under the per- soral direction of the author, Mr. Augus- tus Thomas. Columbia Theater.—Mr. Walker Whiteside appeared in “The Merchant of Venice” at the Columbia last night and made the same favorable impression that character- ized his appearances in “Hamlet” and “Richelieu.” The house was a large one and was the most enthusiastic audience of the week, demanding six curtain calls after the great court scene. Mr. Whiteside showed more cf an inclination to follow the lines laid down by tradition and prac- tice in his interpretation of the Jew than he did in either one of his former char- acters, but the production was on the same magnificent scale that has characterized his visit so far to the capital, and he evinced the same intelligence and force of mental attributes that he showed in the melancholy Dane end in the crafty cardi- nal. He was well supported, the whvle company showing to advantage. Miss Lu- cia Moore as Portia was intelligent in ac- tion and daintily pretty in appearance, while Misses Dorothy Harper and Maude Allen were up to the requirements of the parts of Jessica and Narissa. The Bas- sanio of C. D. Herman was an excellent piece of acting, and J. M. Sainpolis as An- tonio, Herbert Pattee as Gratanio, E. W. Fowler as Lorenzo and Edwin Tanner as Launcelot were equally pleasing. ‘The Audience Dismissed.—A select num- ber of musical and society people was turned away from the Columbia Theater yesterday afternoon at the Gregorovitsch- Bispham concert because the artists re- fused to appear. There were only 300 in the house and this did not come up to their guarantee, and, although Messrs. Metzer- ott and Luckett offered the theater free rather than disappoint the audience, the artists refused, to accept that sum, and Mr. Guzman, the manager of the Metropolitan course, was obliged to dismiss the gather- ] ing. = Cinderella.—The pretty fairy opera, ‘‘Cin- derella,” will be presented by Prof. Shel- don’s pupils tomorrow afternoon at the Co- lumbia Theater at 3.30 o’ciock. Prof. Shel- don has always enjoyed a high reputation for arranging affairs of this character, wnd the production in the present instance will be no exception to the rule. .Thase-who will take part are Edna Janforth, fn the title role; Lillie Hughes, Pansy Wilson, Willie Neuton, Daisy Waring, Chester Smi: Nel- Me Hunt and nearly a hundred othe! Ben Hur—A Tale of the Christ.—The graphic epitome of this thrilling story of “Ben Hur,” as recited by the Rev. Dr. Rogers and illustrated by nearly one hun- dred and fifty magnificent colored laniern slides, has formed one of the most pupular entertainments ever offered to the Wash- ington public, having been given over fifty times*in one season alone. Prior to his re- moval from the city, which occurs May 1, Dr. Rogers at the request of numerous friends will give a farewell representation of Ben Hur at the Church of Our Father, 13th and L streets. The date is Monday, April 28. Reserved seats at Metzerott’s, without extra charge. Lectures on Art.—The course of lectures on art that was to have been given by Prof. Partridge at Columbian University, but which was regretfully abandoned on ac- count of the illness of the lecturer, will be supplied by Mr. E. C. Messer of this city. Mr. Messer has kindly consented to give these lectures in response to the request of a number of Washington artists and art levers who have enjoyed before the fruits of Mr. Messer’s ability as an artist ard a scholar. His subjects will be “Realism in Art,” “Is there a Grammar of Art?” and “Art and the Critic.” The lectures will be given in the lecture hall of the university on successive Fridays at 4:30 o'clock, hegin- ning Friday, April 23, and the public is cordially invited to attend. E. B. Hay’s Talk on Rhineland.—Mr. Ed- win B. Hay delivered an interesting talk on “Rhineland” last evening at St. Paul’s Parish Hall for the benefit of St. Paul's Unior.. He handled his subject in a master- ly manner, his narration of the many legends and myths connected with the yari- ous points of interest on and about the Rhine being highly amusing and equal in descriptive effect to that of any of our best fiction writers. The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity by an intelligent and appreciative audience, many congressmen being present. Senator Roach of North Dakota presided and introduced the speaker ef the evening. This was the second of a series of free lectures .given under the auspices of St. Paul's Union, which was organized to pay off the debt on Father Mackin's beautiful church. ‘The Biograph.—Although the Biograph is now in its twenty-second week of its en- gagement at the capital city, there seems to be no evidence that its popularity is de- creasing. On the other hand, the audiences grow larger with every exhibition, and on several evenings the doors have been closed and a large number of persons turned away. The new views, which were added Monday evening of this week, and which will be continued as part of the exhibi- tions, are interesting in the extreme, and have added materially to the attractive- ness of the program. The old views have also been kept, and the result is a collec- tion of pictures which cannot be surpassea for art, interesting features or novel quali- ties. Eight church benefits have been given by Col. J. Durham, in charge of the Gio- graph, all of which have resulted most successfully, Saturday evening next the St. Mark’s League of the Episcopal Church will have a benefit, which is expected to be the most successful exhibition yet giten. ‘The Boy Violinist—A great deal of in- terest attaches to the appearance here Sunday evening next at the Coiumbia The- ended program, give him ample opportunity to display his exceptional abilities.

The Pastor of Mount Zion Church Provided With a Residence. What is said by those who have traveled throughout the bounds of the Washington conference of the Methodist Episcopai Church to be the best parsonage owned by @ congregation under its jurisdiction has just been completed by the members of Mt. Zion Church, Georgetown, Rev. Dr. E. W. 8S. Peck, pastor, and yesterday was occupied for the first time by Dr. Peck and his family. The completion of the »uilding, and the placing therein of new sets of everything needed by a preacher and his family to keep house in a proper manner, wis made the occasion last evening of a reunion of the membership and their friends, ant More than 500 persons connected: with the church and hosts of members of other churches of the denomination in various Parts of the District visited the new par- sonage during the hours in which open house was kept by the church officials. The new building is located at 212 O street northwest, and is one of the most commodious residences of its class in that part of the city. It bas « pressed brick front, is two stories and attic in height, and is replete with every modern con+ venience. Each room contains a cabinet mantel, and, while all are arrange] with an especial view to the comfort and con- venience of thé occupants. the library is perhaps the most convenient of all. The plans were drawn and the work ex- ecuted entirely by colored men, and much credit is due them for the skill displayed by all who had the matter in charge. The persons who had special charge of the work were the follosving: Parsonage committee—R. J. Holmes, chairman; Mrs. Margaret Lazenberry, Mrs. Sarah Reeder, Mrs. Caroline Herbert, Mrs. Elizabeth Fisher, Mrs. Jozanna Henson, Mrs. Rebecca Washington, Mrs. Alice Har- ris, Mrs. Estella Harris, Miss Emily Bar- rett, Miss Bessie Carter, and Miss Mary . Beason, secretary; W. Calvin Brent, architect; Braxton & Bond, builders; trus- tees, Thomas Watkins, chairman; David Hutchinson, Charles Matthews, Alfred Pope, George Minor, John W. Lee, Hen- son Reeder, Washington Boyd snd J. ‘Townsend Beason. Among those present last night were the entire official board of the congregation: Local preachers, Edgar Murphy and J. T. Reed; leaders, Peter Fossett, Joseph Mc- Pherson, Lorenzo Onily, Perry Barnes, Hen- ry Bowles, Andréw Carter, Sandy Williams, William Wheeler, Robert Holm: William Smith, John Berry, Joseph N. W Hawkins and Jerry Ogle; si Thompson, J. M. Williams, James Thomas, James L. Turner, Charles Smith, Henry N. Bowles, James Jeffries, Benson Locke, Dennis Wayman, Robert DeNeale; trustees, Alfred Pope, Charles Matthews, John W. Lee, David Hutchinson, Thomas Watkins,Washington Boyd, George Minor, J. Townsend Beason, Henson Ree- der; Ralph S. Parrott, superintendent of Sunday schcol. Dr. Peck has been in charge of the con- gregation for more than a year, but until row has resided it Baltimore, where he had an important chatge wefore being assigned to Mount Zion Church. Upon entering up- on the duties there Jast year he ascer- tained that the need of a parsonage to be owned by the church had long been con- ceded, end there had-been a great deal of talk about building one, but no one seemed ready to take the mecessary steps to secure ‘one. He promptly brought the matter to the attention of his congtegation, and with such success that ground for the new build- ing was broken In October of last year. Since that time whenever the weather would; permit :work of construction has gone steadily forward, until new Mount Zion has a pastor's. residence of fts own, and of which the membership generally is very proud. —_—.-__ Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate.

When Judge Kimball's court convened this morning Park Watchman Davis was among the first to appear on the witness stand and he told of an early morning seance in Seaton Park. It was 6 o'clock this morning when the watchman went on duty and he saw a horse having a good time on the grass. The animal had done ef- fective work in the way of making the operation of a mower unnecessary, and judging from the amount of grass that had disarpeared the officer was certain that the horse had been feasting for sev- eral hours. In the vehicle, the driver, Wil- liom De Neal, was sitting beside a female passenger. The man was very much under the influence of strong drink, and the wo- Man was not perfectly sober. Both of them were surprised when the watchman informed them that they were under ar- rest. The woman then proceeded to use her tongue, and what she said would never be heard in church. After giving the watchman all the trouble she could she was locked up. i “Did she use profane language?” asked the judge when the woman's case was heard. “She sv.ore all the way to the station,” was his response. “If I did,” interrupted the woman, “I'm scrry for it, and hope you will excuse me.” “What is your name?” she was asked. “My rame is Kate McGarry, and I live at Cun berland’s boat house,” she sald. She told the judge that she went to take her children, who are attending boarding sckcol, cut driving, but she made no at- tempt to explain her cgndition and why she was occupying a coupe so early in the morning with the driver. “The man who was with her jumped out and ran,” said the driver, “and I was in the coupe asking her his address.” They were each fined $5.

MAYOR OF KENSINGTON. Mr. B. H. Warner, Jr., Declines and Mr. C. W. Clum is Nominated. A representative mecting of citizens was held at the Noyes Library rocms, in Ken- sington, yesterday evening, to select nomi- rees for mayor and common council, to be voted for early in May. Mr. H. K. Simpecn was elected secretary and Mayor George Peter called the meeting to order. He reviewed briefly the work of the vil- lage officers for the past year, and the needs for the coming year. Mayor Peter was nominated for re-election by Mr. H. K. Simpson, but owing to the pressure of private affairs declined the honor. Mr. Thomas R. Martin then presented the name of Mr. B. H. Warner, jr., but that gentle- man, in a few well-chosen words, declined in favor of Mr. C. W. Clum, who, he said, would be at all times on the ground and accessible. On his motion the nomination of Mr. Clum for mayor was made unani- mous. After an informal exchange of views of the proper distribution of the four posi- tions for council so that all sections might be properly represented, the names of Mr. J. W. Townsend, Prof. John T. Freeman and Col. John Brady were presented as representatives of the south side of the village, and Mr. Harry Mannakee and Mr. John Simpson, jr., for the north side. Col. Brady, in order that there might be no contest over the ticket, announced his de- sire to withdraw his name, and, there- upon, on motion of Mr. Marion Dorian, the nominations were closed. The ticket as it stands has three repub- licans and one democrat on the council, an4 @ republican for mayor, but it is believed that politics was not considered in its make-up. If any opposition is felt it was not manifest at the meeting, which was a non-partisan call. A rising vote of thanks was tendered to the retiring officers for the painstaking manner in which they had performed their duties. —_——— Neat and attractive three-story brick dwelling, No. 1506 13th street, will be sold by trustees at auction tomorrow afternoon at 5:30 o'clock.
