MAYER & PETT PROVIDERS, bani AFFAIRS — IN GEORGETOWN Plan of Marketmaster Williams to Prevent Occupancy of Streets, Celebration of Birthday Anniversary —Mt. Tabor Church Entertainment —Real Estate Transfer—Notes, The plan of Marketmaster Williams of the M street market has been defeated, and the country people are correspondingly happy. Several weeks ago, as published in The Star at the time, a movement was in- augurated to have the country people con- fined to the space on the east, west and south sides of the market, and also in the rear portion of the market house proper. The idea was to concentrate the trade around the market itself, and prevent the occupancy of the surrounding streets by the country people, while exhibiting their Produce. Soon after the publicatfon of the plan the country people met and circulated a petition, which was signed by fully fifty people, and a number of the residents of Potomac and Prospect streets, who did not object to the occupancy of the sidewalk in front of their houses. The Commissioners yesterday decided to take no action to prohibit the occupancy of Prospect avenue and Potomac streets by the country dealers. The board regards the use of M street for the purpose as too dangerous, on account of the car tracks. It is, however, likely that some time in the future some action may be taken look- ing toward the arrangement of the space around the sides of the market for the ac- commodation of the country people. Birthday Party. Mr. Chris. Hager gave a birthday party last evening at his home on 32d street. A large number of friends were invited for the occasion. Music was furnished by an orchestra of seven pieces. The decorations of the dining room were very pretty, the American flag predominating. After the feast the program consisted of songs, reci- tations and other pleasing features, Toasts Were drunk to the health of the host, and he was the recipient of many well wishes. e closing toast, “To my adopted was responded to in fitting style . Hager. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Hager, Mr. and Mrs, Benjamin Gissel, Mr. and’ Mrs. George Power, the Misses Burrows, Mr. and Mrs. Hurdle, Mr. C. H. Fischer,’ Mr. Jonas Doehring, Mr. Carl Heurich, Mr. Robert Dochring, Mr. Albert Poore, Mr. George Freeman, Mr. George Waters, Mr. William Scheele, Mr. Wiliam Hanlon, John Archer, Mr. Jake Divine, Mr. Henry Chamberlain, Mr Henry Copperthite, jr, Mr. William’ Mc- Shea, Mr. James Gross, Mr. Irwin Boswell, Mr. Chris. Talbot, Mr. Joseph Wilson and others. Jerry Callahan Injured. Jerry Callahan, formerly a member of the fire department, and now operating a cab, was badly hurt yesterday afteraoon, short- ly before 5 o'clock. He was coming over into town in company with another young man and a boy. Just after crossing the Pennsylvania avenue bridge, across Rock creek he gave his horse’ a lash with the whip and attempted to pass by another heavily laden vehicle. A collision resulte and the force of the same threw Callaha out of his carriage. He was thrown a dis- tance of about ten yards and landed on the asphalt pavement head first, receiving an ugly gash on the head and sustaining other injuries. He was taken to his home. Entertainment and Drill. The young people of Mt. Tabor M. P. Church have arranged for an entertainment and drill Friday evening the chureh, which will be under the direction of Mrs. W. F. Hunt. A tambourine drill by tweive of the young ladies of the church will be one of the features. Master William New- ton, the boy elocutionist, will appear, ind little Miss Chloe Doolittle, the pianist, will perform. Master George Hunt, the ‘well- known boy violinist, will also perform dur- ing the course of the evening. Brief Mention, Frank Renshaw has sold to Norman H. O'Donoghue parts of lots 127 and 128 of square 1244, at an unnamed consideration, and subject to a trust. The purchaser im- mediately conveyed the same to Klizabeth . H, Renshaw, no price being mentioned. The Misses Casilear, R. A. Hotel accompanied by M: ‘asilear, have left for Chamberlin’s at Fortress Monroe. Mr. Casilear | will return to the city at the end of the week, but the young ladies will spend a month at the place. Mr. Charles McIntee, an old Georgetown boy, is home again, after a cruise cf three years around the world. —___ MARY ANDERSON-NAVARRO. Happy in Her Home at the Foot of the Cotswolds, From the London Sketch. Since her retirement from the stage, Miss Mary Anderson, now Mme. de Navarro, has lived at Broadway, an English Sleepy Hollow, nestling at the foot of the Cots- wolds. She has entirely thrown off the artist and become as much one of the peo- ple as the good folks her neighbors, many of whom, by the way—such is the primi- tiveness of the village—have never seen a railway, and know no more advanceil mode of locomotion than the carrier’s cart. As for the rumor that went round the country the other day that Mme. de Navarro in- tends to re-enter public life as a vocalist, it is the mere vaporings of the gossip- monger. Miss Anderson has always taken @ pleasure in singing, and the only “new news” is this: That her voice is a much finer one than its possessor ever imagined. The credit of finding this out is due to Miss Maude Valerie White, the composer, Miss Anderson's next-door neighbor and’ con- genial spirit. Miss White was delighted with her friend’s voice, and took the great- est pleasure in helping to develop it. What more natural, then, than that Miss Ander- son should assist at her friend's concert? Dismiss the idea of the great actress’ be- coming a professional vocalist as the veri- est dream. But people did not know this when they went to the concert at the Lygon Arms, an old hostelry with memories of King Charles and Cromwell. The hall was crowded with people—country gentry, en- thusiastic Americans, and loyal Broadway- ites (who swear by Miss Anderson as the good genius of this lovely village). Miss An- derson sang no fewer than eight songs, most of them the compositions of Miss White. Her voice is a full and deep con- tralto, flexible and of fine timbre. The spirit with which the singer attacked the famillar “Absent Yet Present” astonished her friends. They had come prepared to hear the singing of a clever amateur. But here was dramatic fire, variety of expres- sion, and, above all, a deep sense of _musi- cal propriety. The applause was as sincere as it seemed grateful to the singer. No need to ask whether Mme. de Navarro was pleased. Her face told the tale. In her dress of pale green silk, graceful and lissom as of yore, she locked as young as when she first captivated England’s heart as Perdita or Juliet. The face of the success- ful artist is seldom entirely pleasing when in repose; there is almost invariably a spoiled, selfish look, some suggestion of pettishness or regret. But Miss Anderson ts unspoiled by her success, and one may verily believe that her self-imposed seclu- sion has brought with it no heart-burnings. She lives between her domestic cares, the delights of social Ife, and the consola- tions of the little chapel, whose altar she is so proud to adorn as she was that of the Ursuline Convent at Louisville in her girl- hood days. ———+e5+_____ Crazy to Begin. DISCRIMINATION OPPOSED. Saflors Should Have the Privileges Granted to Soldiers. The fact that the business of the office of judge advocate general of the navy has increased 300 per cent in the last ten years is quoted by Judge Advocate General Lem- ly, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Navy, as an evidence of the recent growth of the navy as a whole. He calls attention to the fact that a large number of naval veterans who left the service at the end of the last war without waiting for formal discharges are suffering from the blot of desertion standing against their names on the rolls, and he asks that the same privilege that was by law extended to the army be conferred upon the navy, and the means be given to remove these charges, by making permanent the pro- vision of the act of August 14, 1888. The judge advocate general also sees no valid reason why sailors should not have the privilege of retirement enjoyed by the sol- diers and marines, and he says that legis. lation to that end would prove -an incentive to men to make good records and add to the general efficiency of the service. The evils that follow the absence of some law that will secure the testimony of civilians before naval court-martials are Set out at length, and it is urged that, if the court itself is not to have the power to compel such testimony, it will be suffi- cient to authorize it to certify to the near- est United States court a recusant witness, in order that he might be punished as if the offense had been committed against the United States court itself. It is recommended that the present double system of examining officers for promotion and then for retirement be done away with, and that in its place there be a single board charged with both functions, examination for promotion and retirement. Inasmuch as the great changes which have taken place in naval architecture in recent years render it impracticable to carry out the provfsions of laws respect- ing the classification of vessels, it is sug- gested that steps be taken to secure such a Modification of the requirements of the law as will render it applicable to present con- ditions. Doubtless the classification of naval vessels upon the basis of tonnage would prove satisfactory. ‘Two important changes in the policy of the department affecting sentences imposed by summary courts-martial have recently been made. The first of these discourages the imposition by summary courts, except in extreme cases, of the maximum depriva- tion of full rations allowed by the regula- tions, where the sentence of solitary con- finement, in irons, on bread and water, is imposcd. This order was issued because the department had noted the frequency with which sentences involving the allow- ance of a full ration for every fifth day only were imposed, and courts were coun- seled to restrict this form of punishment in all ordinary cases to a shorter interval. Another important change from which good results are expected is that recently promulgated in which the attention of persons required to perform duty in con- nection with summary courts-martial is called to the undesirability of the imposi- tion or approval of sentences involving extra police duties, except in particularly aggravated cases. This order was issued by the department after consultation with and report from a number of officers of rank and experience in the service, who Were almost unanimously of the opinion that sentences involving extra police duties in addition to other punishments are un- satisfactory in practice, and exert in some degree a demoralizing influence upon the discipline of the service, resulting in the continuous nagging of the offender and imposing upon those supervising the execu- tion of such sentences constant and bur- densome watchfulness. ———__-e NEW PICTURE OF THE MOON, Yerkes’ Telescope Revenls Details Never Witnessed Before. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun fromm Cnicago says: No water, nor air, nor vegetation, nor evi- derce of life in any form can be seen on the moon through the Yerkes telescope, which is the most powerful ever construct- ed, The first observations of the moon through this telescope were made last night at the Yerkes Ovservatory. F. L. O. Wadsworth of the observatory staff, who obtained the first glimpse of the moon through the telescope, said today: “The moon is a magnificent sight seen through the Yerkes instrument. One can see an enormous number of small details never seen before, such as small craters and crevasses, but there are no traces of air or vegetable life to be detected. “It is possible that the lines found on the photographs taken at the Meudon Observa- tory, in France, may be crevasses. I don't pretend to say what they represent. I only know that the observations taken here fail to give any confirmation of the theories of the Parisian astronomers.’ Whisky Over and Above Board. Michael Daley and Dennis Daley, young white men, were before-Judge Mills today in the Police Court to answer an informa- tion setting forth that they were vagrants and suspicious characters. “I arrested one of the boys on my own account,” stated Policeman Hall. “The other one was locked up on complaint of their father. They are continually causing a disturbance at their home on Fiorlda avenue.” “What have you to say about this?” the father was asked. ° “I have been in this country for forty- eight years, and never has a policeman laid a hand on me”—he began, when the court interrupted to say— “Come down to this % “Well, then,” continued the father of the defendants, “my )2ys are all right. ‘The only trouble with them is that they natur- ally take their whisxy a little over and ve board every Saturday night, regu- Jarly.” Judge Mills, ruling that the Daley boys had not been shown to be vagrants or sus- picious persons, ordered that they be dis- charged from custody. maser eren Cable to Iceland. From the London Times. In its last session, July to August, 1897, the Icelandic parliament decided to accept the offer of the Great Northern Telegraph Company in Copenhagen. This company undertakes to lay a submarine cable to Icelané@ from the north of Scotland via the Faroe Isles, provided the althing, or Ice* landic parliament, ‘grants an annual sub- sidy of 35.000 kroner for twenty years to the said company. The althing has now granted this, and it is estimated that the cable can be laid early next summer, in six weeks, from Scotland to Iceland. The Dan- ish government has promised ample finan- cial help and active co-operation in the scheme. The distance from the nearest point of. Scotland to Thorshavn, in the Faroes, js about 250 miles, the greatest deptn 254 fathoms, while the bottom is composed of debris of shells and mud. From Thorshavn the cable goes first either to Haldervig or Westmanshavn.
