Not only the Hebrew population, but the citizens of Washington generally, were sur- prised and pained today by the announce- ment of the death last evening of Henry King, jr., an old resident and one of the best-known business men of the national capital. The death of Mr. King was in a targe degree unexpected, and was due to a car- buncle. He had enjoyed excellent health during the greater part of his busy ca- reer, but several weeks ago the carbuncle put in an appearance on the upper part of his back. The growth rapidly increased in size, and had a telling effect on the nn- fortunate man, who suffered great pain. Reaching the cenclusion that the afflic- tion would terminate fatally, unless des- perate measures were adopted, the family and the attending physicians, Dr. J. Ford ‘Thompson and Dr.Behrend,yesterday morn- ing decided ou an operation. It resulted in ieving the pain, but did not save the fe of the patient. He sank slowly until 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon, when death occurred. With the exception of one son, all the members of the family of Mr. King were at his bedside when he passed away. Native of Germany. The deceased was sixty-three years of age, although from his activity and bus- iness capacity he seemed to be a much ycunger man. He was one of Washing- ten’s oldest and most enterprising mer- charts, having been a leader in the mer- cantile busi ss here for more than twen- ty-five years. Born in Germany, he came to the United Slates when a mere youth and located in Baltimore, being emfloyed as clerk in that city for several menths. He then came to this city, and remained here during the balance of his life. In the early G's Mr. King owned a clothing store located on the south side of Pennsyl- varia avenue between 9th and 10th streets. In 1872 he branched out into the millinery line, and transferred his place of business to the corner of 9th and F strects, yhere he remained for several years, then mov- ing te 7th street to the site of the pre King’s Palace. During the past few ye he has also successfully conduc*ed a braich establishment on Market space. Heavy Stockholde: In addition to his millinery business, Mr. King was largely identified with many financial institutions, holding stock in a number of corporations. His possesstons included considerable real estate, the Ho- tel Lawrerce, on E street, being in his name. : ‘The deceased was one of the most prom- inent members of the Hebrew Synagogue, and credit is due him for his efforts in raising the greater part of the funds to provide for the construction of the hand- some new building for the synagogue now ecton. He was also interest- ity to a marked degree, giving liberally at all times. He deeply con- cerned in the Hebrew Orph: * Home at Atlanta, Ga., and in connection with Mr. Simon, the president of the home, was largely responsible for maintaining inter- est in the institution and bringing about its present perfect organization. The deceas- ed was a member of the District No. 5 I. 0.0.V., and at one time held office as grand president of that lodge. Progressive and Liberal. It may be said that Mr. King was a recognized leader of his race, as we!l as a trost progressive and liberal-minded citi- zen, and foremcst in all movements for the geod of the city. He was a man of great popularity, and commanded the high- est respect from all with whom he hed deahrgs. Not only was he known in this city, but in Baltimore, Philadeiphia ard New York as ri. The family of the deceased consists of a widow and seven children, one daughter and six sons. The daughter is Miss Grace King. The eldest son, Harry, has managed the 7th street store for several years past, and Mr. Joseph King is in charge cf the Market space branch. Phil. King, another son, was formerly the great foot ball and base ball captain of Princeton. Abrahain and Meyer King were associated in bus- iness with their father, while Samuel King is in the insurance business in New York. The funeral will take place at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the late residence of the ceceased, 814 7th street. Rabbi Stern will officiate. The interment is to be made in the Hebrew burying ground at Ana- costia. The pallbearers had not been selected this afternoon, but will no doubt be aamed from among the members of the several or- ganizations with which Mr. King was con- nected. Each of these organizations will show their respect for the memory ofthe deceased by sending representatives to the funeral. ———— Excursion to Buffalo via B. and 0. Account G. A.

Had it not beemfor the soft mud and slime in the bottom of the river the unfortunate man might have been saved. His body was recuvered and sent to the morgue.

One of the most pleasant excursions of the season’ was given yesterday to River View by the Deutsche Central Verein. The German residents of the city turned out in force and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the attractions at the resort, the dancing pa- vilion, shoot the chute, bowling alleys, sheoting galleries and others receiving @ full share of attention. A combined choir of the Arion Singirg Society and the Maen- nerchor rendered several selections during the afternoon. The success of the excur- sion was largely due to the committee of arrangements, Messrs. Emil Spahn, Au- gust Schwartz, E. Waldecker, L. Rosenau, G. Bender, G. J. Bessier and H. Arnold. Tomorrow the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers will have its annual outing at River View. The trainmen and their families. will take possession of the View early in the day and will remain until the last boat at night. The engineers always give an enjoyable excursion and large crowds go with them, and it is thought that the attendar.ce this year will be larger than it has ever been befcge. The commit- tee in charge will endeavor to see that all who attend have a good time. There is always new pleasure and enjoy- ment found in-an evening spent at Mar- shall Hall. The Hall’s popularity with the people never pales. Music on the boat be- gins the entertainment as soon as the boat leaves her wharf. Then on the grounds dancing occupies’ the time for the major- ity of the guests, and others have a spien- did time with the countless othér forms of amusement that abound at the Hall. Schroeder's band furnishes the music for the occasion in every capacity, and it could not be improved on. Everything that could add to the comfort and convenience of the Patrons, for that is the first thought of the company, has been provided. A's an example of this, the barber shop on the boat is a boon to the gentlemen, and one that is appreciated by them to the fullest extent. The boat never fails to have a big crowd, anxious to take a trip that they know is nothing but pleasure from the start. The Macalester leaves at 10 a.m., 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. The River Queen made the regular Sun- day run to Chapel Point yesterday. One of the largest crowds of the season was on hand when the boat pulled out from the wharf. The trip of four hours was most enjoyable, and, after the grounds were reached, the guests proceeded to take pos- session of everything in sight. They lined the wharf and shores of fhe river, fishing and crabbing, and the bathing beach was crowded throughout the day. There hasn't been a merrier party of folks at the Point since the inauguration of the season, and all were reluctant to leave the grounds when the time-came to make the start for home. The cafe on the boat, with its ex- cellent dinners and service, did a rushing business. The home trip was delightful, and the city was reached about 9:30 p.m. There wasn’t a single person on the boat— ™man, woman or child—but was unanimous in their praise of the day. The trip of 110 miles, the features at the Point and the delightful coolness of the day was so pleas- urable that it was with sincere regret that the approach to Washington and conse- quent end of the outing was noted. The River Queen makes t..cse. trips each Tues- day and Thursday, as well as Sundays, throughout the season. ‘The Mystic Shriners are going to managé things with a high hand at Marshall Hall on Wednesday night next. It Is the occa- sion of their annual outing, and no one who cares for a jolly time can let this pass un- noticed. There will be nothing but amuse- ment and jollity; actually from the time the boat leaves the wharf, for they have arranged a program that goes far ahead of anything that has*been attempted on the boats ur grounds the season through. They have planned for three immense shows, one on the steamer on the way to the Hall, one while on the grounds, and another on the home trip on the boat again. All the best local talent in the various lines are included in the bill, and all the favorites. Mr. Ed. Hay is to be master of ceremonies, and that assures that everything will go along with the rush that makes such things successful. The exhibition drill of the Arab Patrol, using the same costumes as in Detroit during the late session of the Imperial Council, will be a most important feature of the evening. Marshall Hall is the place; 6:30 is the time; the Macalester the boat, and all on next Wednesday. —__>—— ALLEGED ASSAULT. Colored Woman Stripped and Out- raged by Unknown Men. Winfield Sakers, who keeps a small gro- cery store in Hyattsville, at an early hour yesterday morring went to his stable in the rear of the Presbyterian Church for the purpose of feeding his horse. He wus surprised to find a colored woman, without a shred of clothing upon her, seated In his buggy. The woman was crying and wringing her hands as if in great trouble. Sakers learned from her that her name was Mary Little, and that she had been in the employ of Mrs. Spencer on Pike ave- nue. She said that Saturday night about 11 o'clock, while returning from a visit to some friends, she was attacked by two col- ored men, who carried her to the shed, tore off her clothing and assaulted her. She cried repeatedly for help, but one of the men held his hand over her mouth so that she could not be heard. ‘The woman could give no definite de- scription of her assailants, and though the authorities are at work upon the case, they have very little hopes of fixing the offense upon any ore. a Of for Inigoes. The battalion of Gonzaga College Cadets will depart at 4 o'clock this afternoon from the 7th street wharf for an outing of ten days at St. Inigoes, Md. Headed by a band of music, the young soldiers will march from the college building on I street to 7th street, to the wharf and aboard the steamer Sue. The party is scheduled to reach St. Inigoes ‘omorrow at neon. It is expected that the trip will be of great ben- efit to the cadets from several standpoints. The Little Workers’ Success. The Sunday School Workers’ Band of Gor- such M, E. Church is composed of five boys, whose ages range from twelve to fifteen years, and during its two years’ existence, it is said, a great work has been accom- plished. The boys are assisted in ell their undertakings by a number of girls of cor- responding ages. The children banded themselves together voluntarily, with the idea of raising funds for church purposes, and their zealous efforts merit the praise of all. , Recently, the band held its second annual fair, which proved a great success. There was quite a large gathering each evening, and on the fifth, and last, the sum of $70, all clear, was realized. The Sunday school rooms, in whigh the fair was held, were handsomely decorated, and everywhere waved the stars and stripes, holding a prominent place among the “flags of all nations.” But the most pleasing picture of all was that of the charming little ladies and polite little gen- tlemen doing the honors of the occasion. ee G.

Several weeks ago Poundmaster Einstein predicted that the dog tags issued this yéar would exceed those of last year by at least one thousand, and that the number of dogs killed will be far in excess of previous years. This morning he said he thought his prediction will soon be verified. Last year more than seven thousand tags were. issued and he is confident the number this year will be more than eight thousand. MOSEY M4DE THREATS. For This ang Q@er Offenses He Was JaMicdiand Fined. Moses Redmend, gr., was Saturday after- noon, sent to jail Judge Mills for ninety days, in default of bond of $250, for making threats, and finedi $20 or sixty days for malicious destguctipn of his father’s prop- erty. The father : testified that Monday morning last, : while on his way to work, he heard his sgn aspheming. He did not say anything 4o tke boy at the time, but while the family awere at supper in the evening he reproyed the offender. What followed, with the conversation between the two, was thus related: “Moses, what fur was you blaspheming on the street this morning?” was the first inquiry. “I wa'n’t blasphemigg,” said the boy. “Now, Moses, there is no use fur you to say that; I heard you.” Moses, the old man went on to tell the judge, thea picked up the lighted lamp, slammed it down on the table, and threat- ened to destroy things generally. The boy was at once ordered out of the house, and started to go, but on the way stopped and called back: “I will hang on the gallows for you.” As the cld man understood it, this meant that Moses, jr., would kill Moses, sr., with- out further provocation, the first chance he got. After the boy left the father went up stairs and leaned out of a window to see if he could discover his son’s whereabouts. Mrs. Redmond, stepmother of the defend- ant, suggested that Moses: would probably throw a stone at him, and advised him to withdraw trom the window. The head was withdrawn, but not a moment too soon, for almost instantly a stone thrown by the son struck the window and smashed two of the Panes of glass to pieces. ‘The accused made a denial of the charges, but Judge Mills pronounced him guilty, and punished him as above stated. ee TYPOS IN SESSION.

The entertaining feature of the season, and one that was highly enjoyed by the hundreds of summer visitors, as well as the residents, at The Plains, Virginia, was held there Thursday evening last, in the re- cently completed town hall. The enter- tainment was novel in that the entertain- ers were all little folks from Washington, Baltimore, Annapolis and the yicinity of The Plains. The greater portion of the program consisted of tableaux, taken from Mother Goose and other familiar works. In addition, there were tableau scenes il- lustrating music, and recitations and songs, and an intricate fancy dance executed by Miss Lucile Ergood of this city. The participants in the affair were Eva Compton, Lucile Ergood, Mary Belle Em- erick and Edmund Emerick, all from Washington; Raleigh Brent, Warren Brent, Ethel Turner and Harrison Brent, all of Baltimore; Josephine, Priscilla and Glen- dower Ellicott of Annapolis; Helen Whit- ing, Edna Russell and George Russell, ail of Marshall, Va., 4nd Nina Hulfish, Katie Bodman, Maxwell Cockrill, Mary Hulfisn and Estelle Hable of The Plains.

Aesisting in the tableaux were Miss Evelyn Murray and Mr. George Coch- ran of The Plains, and Mr, Joseph Coch- Tran of Alexandria, Va. The entertainment, which was a thor- ough success, artistically and socially, was orignated, managed and carried to a suc- cessful conclusion by Miss Lucie E.

Glen A Big Crowd Will Go to Glen Echo Thursday Night. From the number of tickets already sold, the indications are that an extra supply of admission pasteboards will have to be provided for the big testimonial benefit to the "Morton Cadets, to be held Thurs- day evening next at Glen Echo-on-the- Potomac. The price of admission has been fixed at twenty-five cents, but attached to each ticket are two coupons, one good for railroad fare from the District line to Glen Echo, and the other from Glen Echo to the District line. This in reality makes the price of admission only fifteen cents. The coupons are good on all the railroads run- ning to the beautiful resort.
