The fruit market was never in better shape at this season of the year than it is now. Fruits of nearly all kinds are pienti- ful, and, as a rule, low prices prevail. Peaches will soon be gone, although the stock in market today was fairly large and some of the fruit was of fine qaulity. Deal- ers are relying largely upon the growers in the mountains of western Maryland for most of the peaches now, but in a few ays this supply will be exhausted. Pears have been more plentiful and cheap- er this season than they have been for a number of years, but the fancy stock is now getting scarce. Farmers in the nearby counties of Maryland and Virginia have been supplying some extra fine stock this season, and some of them will have fruit to sell as late as Christmas. As the season advances higher prices will prevail. Japanese persimmons, grapes and tanger- ines from Florida have been received, and deaters are expecting some good shipments ef oranges in the near future. Grape fruit has been quoted at unusually high figures since the severe frost in Florida, but ad- state indicate that the ef- have about disappeared, nd the fruit will be soon more abundant, end. therefore, cheaper. Apples are still plentiful and cheap, the supply of fine stock being much larger this year than usual. Abundance a = Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate. Frank T.

The National Republican Anti-Civil Ser- vice League held its weekly meeting at Emrich’s Hotel last evening, Vice Presi- dent H. M. Baker presiding. Mr. Baker and Dr. W. C. Boteler addressed the league upon the situation in Maryland, and urged the members to write their friends in that state and ctherwise to do all in their power to induce republicans in Maryland to vote against the proposed civil service amend- ment. Mr. F. P. Lewis moved that the rules be suspended and a report made on the resolution he had submitted last week, aking the President, in order to save the republican party, to amend or abolish the civil service laws. The chair, however, de- cided that the motion was not in accord- ance with the by-laws of the association, and the matter went over. ? Mr. Lewis also introduced a resolution asking the President to remove the gov- ernment printing office from the classified service, and asking that Public Printer Palmer use every effort to accomplish this result. The motion went over until the next meeting. —————— The Superb Service of the Pennsylvania railroad is its greatest advertisement. Try it to Philadel- Phia next Sunday. Only $2.00 rouna wp.

LUCY WEBB HAYES SCHOOL Home for Deaconesses and Institution for Training of Nurses, ee to Extend Its Scope—Pros- pective New Building to Be Known as Rust Hall. The necessity for more room in which to provide for the growing usefulness of the Lucy Webb Hayes Training School and Deaconess’ Home in this city has long been felt by those most interested in its welfare, and steps were taken this week to erect a building to be known as “Rust Hall,” in honor of one of the officers of the Woman's Home Missionary Society. As a starter for the enterprise $1,500 was subscribed at a conference of a few friends a couple of days since. Of course much more than that amount will be needed, but the deaconess’ department of the Wo- man’s Home Missionary Society has abund- ant faith that their efforts will be crowned with success. It is believed the work of construction will not cost to exceed $30,000. “To benefit and bless at all times,” said Rev. Dr. A. H. Ames, the superintendent of the institution, “was the object for which the national training school was started; this, at least, is the purpose which now governs its methods. “It were an easy task to receive young women, to cultivate devotional impulses which animate them in a high degree, and then to send them out to gather such les- sons as by their experiments, failures or in such such haphazard way they might acquire, but this would hardly justify the expense incurred. “It is greatly to be wished that some more concerted plan for the selection of students could be put into operation. We are gradually elevating the standard of requirements. but there are other quali- fications essential to a successful deaconess or missionary, such as strength of char- acter, capacity for leadership, earnestness and tenacity of purpose, a spirit of docility and teachableness, tact, good sense and freedom from eccentricities, about which we are compelled to rely on the representa- tions of others. Graduates Worthy of Praise. “The school has reason to be proud of its graduates. They compare favorably ith those trained elsewhere, and the de- mand for them continues to far exceed the supply. The school has a future be- fore it, and should prepare for it prudently and systematically. “The course of study prescribed a few months ago by our bishops will form the basis of our curriculum, and will be most thoroughly taught, but other and more advanced branches of study are added thereto. “The Lucy Webb Hayes School is desig- nated as a national training school. But if such a school is deemed by those most directly interested to be @ necessity, it can maintain its superiority over local schools only by a policy more liberal than has hitherto been pursued. From its incep- tion the national school has labored under Gisadvantages which become more and more perceptible. “Its resources have never been ample enough to provide a resident faculty suf- ficiently large, and the buildings are too few and small to accommodate a number of students great enough to meet the de- mands of the society. Every year the school is subject to criticism, because of its inability to meet requisitions made upon it, but with the present facilities and build- ings it is absolutely impossible to receive sufficient students to answer these demands. “The building owned by the society is full, the annex is full, and even if the Sibley Hospital could be utilized, the dining reom and lecture rooms, which, are in- capable of enlargement, are full. To ex- pect of the school results for which no adequate means are provided is te demand bri without straw. © policy more fatal to the prosperity or even the existence of the school can be cenceived then that of falling behind the needs of the day. It were almost better to close the doors of the institution and rely upon the resources of local schools. “The school should be furnished with at least twice the number of resident teachers, and with buildings to accommodate four times its present number. The erection of a new building, exclusively for the uses of the school, is an urgent necessity. A building sufficient to accommodate the needs could be erected for $30,000. Suggested Possibilities. “When one thinks of the possibilities that lie in the work of the deaconesses; of the sick chambers that must be cheered and those on the death beds who might be com- forted; of erring feet which might be guid- ed into the way of peace, and immortal souls which might be saved, surely patriot- ism and religion should gladly combine to help them in the solution of these prob- lems so serious to church and state.” The movement to secure the facilities said by Dr. Ames to be so urgently needed has the hearty co-operation and indorse- ment of Rev. Dr. Luther B. Wilson, vre- siding elder of Washington district, Balti- more conference, who said: “I am greatly interested in the deaconess work. I believe that zeal without knowl- edge can never win. It is a great mistake to think that anybody can deal with pov- erty, sin and sickness. Besides natural abilities along these lines, an education for the work is absolutely necessary.” The active work of raising funds for the new building will probably be under the superintendence of Mrs. Jane Bancroft Robinson, head of the deaconess’ depart- ment of the Woman’s Home Missionary Society. Mrs. Robinson, who is regarded as one of the most wondefful women in the denomination, visited the Lucy Webb Hayes Schcol here this week. ———a ime to Baltimore is the Pennsylvania railroad.

THE APPRAISERS SWORN TJary Under the Highway Extension Law Empowered to Act. Question Raised as to Mr. Wood- ward’s Eligibility—Objections Over- ruled —Hearing Postponed. Messrs. G. W. Woodward, Charles B. Bailey, Wm. H. Hoeke, Fredk. L. Moore, Edward Graves, James B. Lambie and Geo. W. Moss, the jury of appraisers summoned in cases 429, Haw’s; 486, Prather’s, and 437, Wright and Coxe’s subdivision of Mt. Pleasant, the next cases assigned for trial under the provisions of the highway ex- tension act of March 3, 1893, were sworn in the District Court this morning, and at the request of counsel for the District the case was postponed until Monday morning next. Before the jury were sworn Judge Cox examined them as to their qualifications, concluding that they were duly qualified to sit in the case. On behalf of the land owners Mr. B. F. Leighton stated that he desired to ask Mr. Woodward a few que: tions, and in answer to Mr. Leighton’s in- quiries Mr. Woodward stated that he is the president of the Washington board of trade, and was a member of it when the highway act was formulated and passed; that the board procured the draft- ing of the act; that he was ard is in favor of it, advocating it and doing all he pos- sibly could to secure its approvai, both by the board and by Congress. Mr. Leighton’s Observations. Mr. Leighton thereupon submitted that Mr. Woodward, being the godfather, if not the father of the act, it is a question whether he does not naturally possess such bias in favor of its enforcement as to pre- clude his appearance in the cases as a juror. “Of course,” explained Mr. Leigh- ton, “‘we all know Mr. Woodward too well to question for a moment the honesty of his motives or question his integrity. We simply think that because of his well- Known advocacy of the act he is most nat- urally in favor of its enforcement.” ‘I do not think,” remarked Judge Cox, “that Mr. Woodward has expressed any opinion as to either the guilt or innocence of the accused.” “We are rather victims, your honor,” ex- plained Mr. Leighton, laughingly; “we are certainly guilty of nothing more than own- ing land.” “Your honor,” stated Juror Moore, “if Mr. Woodward is ruled out, then I, too, must go, for I was and am with him in his advocacy of the highway act.” Duly Qualified. “I think Mr. Woodward duly qualified to sit in the case,” ruled Judge Cox. To the court's ruling Mr. Leighton noted an exception, and then, after the jurors were sworn, the cases were postponed un- til next Monday morning, the District off- clals having been unable to make the necessary blue-print maps of the subdivi- sions because of the unfavorable weather. —_.__ $1.25 To Baltimore and Return $1.25 via Pennsylvania Railroad. “Tickets on sale Saturday and Sunday, October 30 and 31, and valid for return until Monday, November 1.

It was a: theatric rather than an artistic presentation of Shakespeare's im- mortal love tragedy. Much attention had been pald to the staging and costuming, and the balcony scene and the tomb of the Capulets were particularly striking pictures. Miss Mather gave an emotional conception of Juliet. The strength she displayed, how- ever, was rather that of maturity and not the youthful enthusiasm inspired by the first ecstasy of passion with which Shakes- peare clothed his tender heroine. Mr.Thom- as L. Coleman was the Romeo. Mark Price gave a new and frequently pleasing concep- tion of Mercutio, this being the case par- ticularly in the quarrel with Tybalt and at his death. Lynn Pratt as Tybalt, BE. A. Eberle as Friar Lawrence, B. T. Ringgold as Peter, Miss Mary Breyer as the nurse, were in sympathy with their parts, and the Capulet of O'Kane Hillis was excelleni. To- night “The Honeymoon” will be given. THE BANDA ROSSA.—At the Metropol- itan Opera House, New York, the latest and one of the most meritorious of Euro- pean musical attractions, the Banda Ros- £a, numbering sixty musicians, of San Sev- ero, Italy, made its American debut, and began its American tour with an over- whelming triumph. So much does this band differ, not only in its personnel, but in its rendition of the numbers given and the comparative novelty and freshness of its programs, that it is sure to attract and de- light music lovers all over the country. Its selections from the operas, which really seem like a condensed form, containing the essence, as it were, of the works, were ex- tremely interesting and out of the beaten track of nand music. The two excellent soloists, Fraulein Margaret von Vahsel, a very attractive soprano of fine German standing, and Carlotta Steubenrauch, a talented young thirteen-year-old Violinist, lend variety to the programs. The Banda Rossa will give its only Washington concert at the New National Theater at 4 o’clock tomorrow afternoon, when the following program will be rendered: Overture, “‘Will- iam Tell,” Rossini; “Serenade,” Schubert; “Mefistofele,” (a) prologue and romance, (b) finale, Boito; air, Madame Margarete von Vahsel; Fantasia on Garibaldi’s Hymn (for Bombardino), Sorrentino; “Loin du Bal,” Gillette; violin solo, “Ballade and Polonaise,” Vieuxtemps, Carlotta Steuben- rauch; “Carmen,” (a) Prelude Habanera, Toreador’s Song, (b) air, “Carmen,” duet, finale, Bizet; Canzone Populare. — 82.00 Philadelphia and Return via B. and O., Sunday, October 31.

WHITE WIFE The Story Told Byd Weman Who Wanted ‘Transportation. —. Journeying to North Carolina to Live ‘With Her Reareast Husband’s People—Secuges Aid. —_—_ Sanitary Officer Frank had a singular case called to his attertion this morning when a request for transportation to Lenoir, N. C., was made for Grace Collette and her two children, one white and the other a@ mulatto. She reached here this morning from Buffalo, N. Y., on her way to her colored parents-in-law in the south, and Sanitary Officer Frank sent her as far as Greenstoro’. Mrs. Collette told the sad story of her life to a Star reporter. “I'm a full-blooded Welsh woman,” she said, “and have been in this country twelve years. Now I am on my way to my husband’s parents, and although 1 have never seen them I know they are far above my husband.” Mrs. Collette is a fairly good-looking wo- man, apparently about twenty-eight years old. She is intelligent and her manner shows that she has traveled about the world and has endured more reverses than she has successes in life. Her two chil- dren were with her, the colored child a girl, one year old, being carried in her arms, while her son, a white boy five years old, played about the room, wholly uncon- scious of his unfortunate condition. According to the woman's story, it was not long before she reached here that she was married, her husband being a white man. One child, the boy mentioned, was the result of this union. Her first husband died, and when the child was quite young she met Rutherford Collette, colored, who was a waiter in a Utica, N. Y., hotel. She had no means of Mvelihood and she soon became Collette’s wife. : Treated Her Well. During the early days of their married life, she said, he was kind to her, but af- ter their child was born there came a great change over him. They. had moved to Pittsburg in the meanwhile, and from there they went to Buffalo. While in the latter city, she said, her husband lost his money at games of chance, and left her and the children suffering for want of food. The time came when she could endure his treatment no longer, and she applied to the courts and had him arrested for non- support. While under arrest, she says, his counsel called upon her and told her of his premises to do better, and she concluded to make another effort to live peaceably with him. S A Separation Necessary. But she says he soon returned to his old haunts and another separation was neces- sary. He was then under bond in the sum of $300, and when he left their home at No. 108 Wililams street she concluded that he would never rettirn. He came back, how- ever, and made an effort to steal the child from her. Then she swore out another warrant for him, and he suddenly disap- peared from the city. Afterward she wrote to his parents in North Carolina, and:they seemed anxious to have her come to them and bring the child. Having no relatives in this country, she concluded to go there, and she believes she will find a good home with her hus- band’s people. She left with her children on the 11:15 train for Greensboro’. ———— The Pennsylvania Railrond to Philadelphia; a perfect line to a perfect city. Only $2.00 next Sunday.
