The reason for this complimentary eall on Dr. and Mrs. Domer was found in association with the memories of the war ef the rebellion, thirty-five years ago. These veterans belonged to a company commanded by Capt. Charles S. Davis, the brother of Mrs. Domer. Capt. Davis’ was killed in the battle of Lookout Mountain.

ICOMING POULTRY SHOW It Will Open December 7 in Center Market Hall. Great Interest Taken by Exhibitors in the Third Annual Exhibition by National Poultry Association. In less than a month the third annual exhibition of the National Poultry and Pigeon Association will take place in this city. The dates first selected for this year’s show were February 1 to 5. It was found that these would conflict with the New York show, and the Washington associe- tion then selected February 15 to 20. To this a large number of exhibitors in all parts of the country, who have been send- ing birds to Washington each year with uniform satisfaction, made a protest. They said that date was entirely too late in the season, and that their fowls, after having made the rounds of other shows in Decem- ber and January, would hardly be in condi- tion for exhibition anywhere. At the same time preparations for the coming breeding season are usualiy made in February, and breeders would then have little time to give to the Washington show. Thereupon the officers of the association decided to hold the Washington show early in Decem- ber, selecting the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and lith—Tuesday to Saturday. The exhibition will be placed, as hereto- fcre, in Center Market Hall, where accom- modations can be had for about 3,000 birds. The usual side room space will also be available for the display of all manner of accessories in poultry farming, such as in- cubators, brooders, bone mills, feeding fix- tures, coops and similar appliances. Exhibits Will Be Cooped. The association has this year undertaken to coop its show and the contract, was let Saturday to Belt & Dyer for 2,000 coops, which will be 30 inches high, thus giving the larger class of fowls plenty of room, and at the same time affording spectators better chances to see the exhibit. The coops used heretofore were 26 inches high, and last year there were scores of birds in the Asiatic class, especially among Lang- shans and Brahmas, whore heads touched the tops of their cages. The change of dates has proved to be a great hit. Secretary Howard says he never se early in the game received so many let- ters from intend:ng exhibitors. Among them are a great many of the leading and famous Poultry men of the country. A. C. Haw- ins of Lancaster, Mass., who is known throughout the world as an expert, has entered sixty birds. George Vanderbilt will = send a large number from his Biltmore estate in North Carolina. Mrs. Robert Gar- rett will be an exhibitor, and send a large number of her choicest pets from the “Up- lands” farm near Baltimore. One of the largest exhibits will be by Mr. John L. Waggaman of Hyattsville,“Md., who has Probably the largest poultry plant south of New York. He has this yeer been an exhibit- or at the leading sho and with uniform success. Mr. Wagz: is vice president Washington ciation, and dis- the thorough interest of the amateur breeder. His specialties are Plymouth Recks, white Wyandots, white Leghorns and buff Pekin bantams. The Managers. Mr. John L. Cost of Hagerstown, Md., will be the superintendent of the show. Mr. Cost is regarded as the king among light Brahma men. He won the general sweep- stakes prize in Washington last year, as well as many others at the large shows in Hagerstown and other places. The judges will be: T. F. McGrew, New , . Philadelphi. Thoraton, South Vineland, N. J.; W. J. Sianton, New York city; John Glassgow, Rahway, N. J.: John Rumbold, Baltimore. The managers will set apart special day the week of the show for diplomat senators and representatives in ess, department offictals and the ool children of the city. Over $2,000 will spent in regular premiums for the best ens exhibited in all the various of poultry, pigeons and pets, and $1,000 will be offered in special premiums in the various classe The officers of the association are: H. A. Munson, ident; John L. Waggaman, ry vice pr ;_ George E. Howard, secre- tary; Samuel Stinemetz, treasurer. These officials, with Dr. D. E. Salmon, Edward 8S. Schmid, Dr. W. J.

The Gor- mully & Jeffery Mfg. Co. of Chicago, makers of Rambler bicycles, have again taken the lead, and announce that they have decided to establish $60 as the list price of their 1898 standard wheels, with 1897 Rambiers, while they last, at $50. Tan- dems will sell for $100. Just one year ago this concern startled the trade by announcing a new list price of $80 on 1897 wheels, thus making the first bieak from the $100 list. Other bicycle manufacturers declined to openly meet the reduction, which the Rambler people real- ized the public demanded and were entitled to, a stand they regretted before the season was far advanced. Again conditions have changed. Prices have this year been re- duced all along the line, sub rosa if not openly, and people have been educated thereby to expect a stil further list-price reduction for the coming year. And they will not be disappointed. The new Ramblers certainly indicate that the price reduction has rot followed a cheapening process of manufacture as re- gards materials and finisned workmanship, as a more attractive line of these popular wheels has never been shown. On the oth- er hand, many new improvements are of- fered. The reduction in price of these and other strictly high-grade bicycles is only natural and to be expected. Wonderful strides are being made cuch year along the line of in- vention of labor-saving machinery. This machinery is very expensive indeed, and to keep a factory thoroughly up to date in the matier of equipments entails an immense ennual investment and practically unlimit- ed_ resources. The Gormully & Jeffery Mfg. Co. has shown a wonderful faculty for feeling the public pulse and gauging the public purse. it has read the times aright, and simply discounted the future. Of course, it is for- tunate in having ample capital, that no sooner does an improved device appear on the market than it is installed in the Ram- bler works. Another factor not to be ignored is the fact that the concern in question makes its own steel tubing, tires, rims and saddles, and is not subject to the caprice of the bi- cycle supplies market. Whatever the means which make this price reduction possible, the announcement will be received by the cycling public with greatest satisfaction. —Advertisement. —>—_—_-- Twenty two-story brick dwellings and one three-story brick dwelling and store at 15th and B and Massachusetts avenue northeast will be sold by trustees tomorrow after- noon at 2:30 o'clock.

Vagrancy was the charge on which Rose Johnson, colored, was arraigned today in the Police Court. and in indignant tones she assured Judge Scott she was not guilty. The complaining policeman told his honor that Rose is ambitious to a remarkable de- gree, when it is a question of imbibing in- toxicating liquor, but when honest toil is proposed she develops languor that might easily be mistaken for a comatose ccndi- tion. “I don’ git drunk, jedge, yo’ ‘oner,’ de- clared Rose, accompanying her remarks with gestures typical of the Bowery. “It’s enly dat I luks latk I’se drunk all de time.” “The officer says you never work,” Rose was told. “How about that?” ing her to an insti where she will “git "for ninety. days to | —— « : Majestic,” “The 14th and Yale n.w.; furnished. shall, manager, 508 llth n.w.—Advt. 3, J Mar AMUSEMENTS.

STAFFORD ON “MACBETH.”—At parliament June 12, 1648, by “an ordinance the Columbia Theater last’night Dr. Staf- ford lectured on “Macbeth, or the Punish- ment of Crime.” The audience was not only a large one, but it contained many personages well known in official and diplomatic life, as well as many” prom- inent members of the church and of the faculty at the Catholic University, thus paying a tribute that could not fail of ap- preciation to the well-known and talented . lecturer. Dr. Stafford was introduced by President Taylor of the Carroll Institute and was greeted most warmly. Dr. Staf- ford first gave a history of the play, fol- lowing with a dramatic recitation of the story. Dr. Stafford said that “Macbeth” was in his judgment—and his judgment is backed by many of the best-known critics of the great writer—the most perfect and the most sublime of ‘all the works of Shakespeare. Dr. Stafford gave a clear and concise summing up of each character of importance, while his narration of events was brimful of dramatic force and skill in oratory. The conclusion of his lecture was devoted to a strong effort on the moral of the week, in which his power and elo- quence as an orator were fully brought out. A concert was given last evening at the New National Theater for the benefit of the yellow fever sufferers of Alabama. The audience was not very large, but was ap- preciative: Among those in attendance were several members of the diplomatic corps. The 4th Artillery Banu, under the direction of Prof. A. Buglione, was permit- << to participate through the courtesy of the Secretary of War and opened: the pro- gram in a manner that earned a trio of en- cores. Mr. Leo Wheat, in addition to play- ing three piano solos of his own composi- tion, acted as master of ceremonies and also served as accompanist for all but one of the soloists. The other piano soloist was Miss Mary Grice Young, who played in fin- ished style Mozxowski’s “Moments Musi- cale.” Mrs. Adele Agnes Postell Everest Lucia Nola, Mrs. Agnes ostell Everest and Miss Virginia Powell Goodwin sang effectively. A number not on the program was a soprano solo by Mrs. C. Lawrence Lavretta of Mobile, who reached the city yesterday, and who is one of the best- known singers of Alabama. Her selection was such a success that she was specially requested to sing again later in the even- ing and complied. Three members of the Madrid Mandolin Quartet played. A num- ber particularly enjoyable was a violin solo by Mr. Lee Crandall, jr., as was a recita- tion by Miss Katharine Garner. It was an- nounced that the concert will be repeated at an early date, particular stress being laid on the object. Those in charge ame Col. and Mrs. William Youngblood, Mrs. W. D. Wickersham, Mrs. Gardiner, Mrs. Wayne, Miss Florence Johnson and Miss Virginia Powell Goodwin. “THE ROYAL BOX.”—Mr. Charles Coghlan, who is admitted to be the great- English-speaking actor of the world in high-class comedy roles, will present, for the first time on the stage, at the Colum- bia Theater, Monday evening, the 22d in- stant, his own romantic comedy drama, to of the lords and commons in parliament for the calling’ of an assembly of and Godly divines and others, to be consulted with by the parliament for the settlement of the government and liturgy, and for in- and clearing the doctrine of said church (of England) from false aspersions and interpretations.” The Westminster corfession is a remark- able document, written in a style at once forcible and easily intelligible. It is pro- fessedly and thoroughly Calvinistic, setting forth the distinctive features of that sys- tem with undisguised fankness. Its funda- mental: doctrines, apart from the question of predestination, are those of nearly all classes of evangelical Protestants. In America :t has not only been the doc- trinal charter of the Presbyterian churches, but also the basis of the Cambridge and Saybrook platforms,and it is still the recog- nized standard of nearly all classes of evangelical Calvinists, and as such it has been an appreciable element in the religious thought and character of the country, as even to a still greater degree it has leavened the whole religious life of the dissenters of es ont qeelaad: Riad above all else ie whole mind and thought of the le of Scotland. — The catechisms, embodying the doctrines of the confession, were prepared at the same time, the larger designed for public pulpit use, and the shorter for the instruc- tion of children and youths. Both were ap- proved by the parliament and published by Its authority. With those who accept their theological teaching these manuals rank next to the Bible. ——— “The Majestic” 14th and Yale n.w.; furtished. R. J. Mar- saall, manager, 5( 508 ‘11th 1ith n.w.—Advt.

Manner of Packing. The manner of packing exhibits and ar- ranging them for exhibition in vogue at the National Museum is a most. complete one and is the result of long- experience and work on this subject. The boxes in which the objects intended for exhibition are arranged are of-a standard measure- ment, 30 by 24-inches. They. can be. used to inclose the articles and then brought into requisition aa tables, or uysedin a number of different ways. Whether . the cases are intended: to hold jewelry or com- mon stone implements they are the same size, the only difference being that the ma- terial from which they are made is differ- ent. The evched made for the museum are 80 constructed that the cases, being. of a | | standard measurement, can be fitted in | them. Rapid Work. The rapidity with which, under the train- ed assistants, the work can be carried on Was exemplified at the Nashville exposi- tion. The display of woman's handiwork, embracing the coarsest pottery as well as the finest laces, was packed in the cases, ready for shipment to Washington in two or three hours after the exposition closed.

Presenting His Greatest Comedy, life and diplomatic circles, and people of the stage, including Clarence, the most em- inent actor of that time, a character of supreme interest, which will be portrayed by Mr. Coghlan. The theme is quite novel and treats of the love of a grand lady of the court for the actor, Clarence, solely in his artificial charcters of the stage. He is intensely infatuated with her and natu- rally desires her love of himself as a man. This is denied him, and he becomes inordinately jealous of her equals. This jealousy of the actor Mr. Coghlan has used as the groundwork for the plot of his new piece, constructing thereon several novel dramatic situations of merit, one of which, as the finale of the fourth act, imparts the title to the play. “The Royal Box” will be also what is termed a costume play, the period of its action requiring the charac- Anniversary of the Adoption of the Westminster Standards.

Mr. Hopper reappears in successful “El Capitan” at the Lafayette Square Opera House Monday evening, November 22. The engagement is for one week only. “THE SPORTING DUCHESS."—The at- traction offered by the National Theater for Thanksgiving week is “The Sporting Duchess,” which attracted so much atten- tion last season. A special matinee will be given Thanksgiving Day. Too much credit cannot be given to Manager Frank L. Per- ley for his unprecedented daring in carry- ing this production through the country with a cast unequaled in the history of theatrical events. The six principal parts in the play are in the hands of artists who have in times past headed their own or- ganizations, and the su:us of money which must be paid each week for the main- tenance of such a company makes the mar- ginal profit very small. Mr. Perley, how- ever, is determined to present to the public in all his productions the best talent tnat can be procured, and thinks that these methods will prove the most successful in the long run. Certainly no one interested in theatrical events will fail to appreciate the fact that an extraordinary array of talent is to be always seen with “The Sporting Duchess.” The complete original production, including the great Derby race, will be given. ——.—_ “The Majestic,” 14th and Yale n.w.; furnished. * © skall, manager, 508 11th n.w.—Advt. —— as MeKinley Failed to Resporid: ~ “William McKinley,” called thik’eler) td- day in the Police Court, and everybody gave immediate attention.
