A burglar had entered the house and Mr. Thompson fired two shots at him, but neither took effect. Mr. Thompson and his wife were on the lewer floor, when the latter heard a sus- cfous noise upstairs. She called her hu: nd’s attention to ft, and the latter got his revolver. The burglar had evidently heard Mr. Thompson's momements and hastened to leave the house, which he did by jump- ing from a second-story window. Then it Was that the shots were fired.

Mr. Wyvill was the grandson of Dr. Wal- ter Wyvill of Anne Arundel county, Md., and the son of the late Dr. Edward Hale Wyvill of Prince George's county, by his first wife, who was a cousin of Henry Win- ter Davis and a relative of Jefferson Davis. When fourteen years of age Mr. Wyvill left his home in Maryland and came to Washingion, where he spent an active and useful life of almost fifty years. Energetic Effort to Make the Closing Week the Best. He wes a descendant of the family found- c | ed in England by Sir Humphry de Wyvill, NOTES OF INTEREST who came from France with William the — Ccnqueror. His great-grandfather, Will- jam Wyvill, settled in Maryland early in the eightcenth century, and was lost at sea while journeying to England to visit his relatives. Mr. Wyvill had intended to go with his lawyer on a business trip abroad, where he would have registered in the College of Arms of Great Britain and assumed his title, which ‘has lain dormant for so many years. The funeral services, which took place Mcnday afternoon last, were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Williams, rector of Trinity Church, and the Knights Templar, who held their impressive ceremony at the house. The Blue Lodge Masons performed their services prior to the interment at Oak Hill. Mr. Wyvill left a wife and three chil- dren, Mrs. J. W. Robertson and Mr. Wal- ter N. Wyvill of Chicago and Miss Helen Wyvill, who lives at the family residence in Washington. es Concert at the Academy. An audience that filled every sea and mest of the standing room in the Academy of Music assembled at that play house last night upon the occasion of the first con- cert of the present Washington Military Concert Band. Its leader is Prof. Chris Arth, jr., who for years has led the Acad- emy of Music orchestra. The program was well chosen, careful attention being given to the fact that in these times patri- otic numbers are what is wanted by the popular ear, and as well played. The or- chestra demonstrated its worth and ef- ficiency in all the numbers, playing some in better shape than others, of course, but on the whole an average was struck that would do credit to an older and more ex- perienced organization. Prof. Arth show- ed that he has the power and intelligence to direct a large body of musicians in ex- cellent shape and style. All of the num- bers on the program were acceptable !n point of popularity and each numver S rewarded with an outburst of applause that in nearly every instance led to an emphatically demanded encore. The solo- ists of the evening were Mrs. Kitty Thomp- son-Berry and Miss Bertha Lucas. Mrs. Thompson-Berry sang two numbers, a se- lection from ‘‘Robin Hood” and the “Twi- light Serenade,” scoring distinct hits in each. Miss Lucas played a selection by Wienlawski and a Bohm caprice, showing in each her talent on her chosen instru- ment. Of all the numerous donations that have been made to the Masonic fair and expo- sition, and the fund for the National Tem- ple, which it ic destine@ to increase, none will be remembered with a deeper feeling of appreciation than two contributions which were received today by Mr. Allison Nailor, jr. They were two greenbacks of the denominations of $2 and $1, respectively, but the tale they tell is touching and pa- thetic to a superlative degree. The first was from the little orphans of the Masonic Home, at East Richmond, Va., and came in a letter written in a boyish hand, from H. W. King, secretary of the home. “We had hoped,” it said, “to make some nice things for the fair, but, owing to so much sickness in the home, we were pre- vented, and we inclose you $2 for the fair and hope you much success. You just oug’t to see our base ball team; our suits are real nice. We have played three games this season and won two games; we lost the last game we played, but the boys were so much larger than we were, and for that reason we were conquered. Again hoping you much success, I remain,” etc. The Widow's Mite, Also. In the same envelope with the above was another letter, this from Mrs. L. T. Aull, inclosing $1 and saying: “I must have the pleasure of adding the widow's mite to the boys’ contribution to the fair. We feel disappointed that we could not do what we wished to do—that was to make a lot of fancy articles, etc., and send them on, but sickness of long duration came. We have had a trying time with measles, diphtheria and fever. Thanks to a loving Father, all are well once more. I do trust you wili be successful with the fair, but I fear the excitement over the war question will be a drawback. ‘The two bills will probably be disposed of by voting, but this will be determined at the board of control meeting tonight. A Big Week Expected. The Masons have had their innings as guests of honor at the big fair and exposi- tion, with the exception of the omnipresent and {irrepressible Mystic Shriners, who will ome and conquer next Thursday night. On the other nights organizations of local and national renown will be in attendance, beginning tonight with the Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Knights of the Golden Eagle. Under their respective officers the va- rious bodies affiliated with these orders will assemble at Odd Fellows’ Hall, 7th street, at 7:30 o'clock, and, headed by the Mount Pleasant Field Band, will march to the fair, where they will be made welcome officially, and then by the numerous at- — Jack Daly, Champion Lightweight of the world, will box three rounds with Prof. George Carter at “ye olde English village,” Masonic fair tonight.—Advt. —>—— Italian Officers as Gnesi The Jolly Fat Men's Club went on its an- nual excursicn to River View yesterday, and was accompanted by a iarge number 07 tractive ladies who are making the enter-/its friends.

The questions were answered by the sec- ond vice president and secretary of the company, and after some discussion it was decided that the explanations were not suf- ficlent, and it was resolved that the policy holders should bring sult against the Mu- j tual Reserve Association, asking that an injunction be granted prohibiting excessive assessments by the company, and forbid- ding 1t dropping members who refused to pay under the injunction.

Dinner Given f Mis Honor by Medi- cal Society of the District —The Addresses. “A half century of healing. Fifty years en honorabié physician. What greater heritage; what nobler record?” This was the sentiment which prevailed at the complimentary dinner last Saturday night to Dr. Samuel C. Busey by his friends of the Medical Society of the District of Co- lumbla. It was the cel2bration of the golden wedding of Dr. Busey to medicine, and lavish were the encomiums showered upon the groom. The dinner took place at Rauscher’s, and at 8 o'clock upwards of fifty prominent physicians and surgeons took their places at the huge, table ar- ranged in the form of a horse shoe to do honor to their professional brother. After dinner had been served Dr. A. F. A. King announced the opening of festiv- ities. He made one of his characteristic speeches, brim-full of good humor, as he introduced each of the several speakers of the evening. He said the occasion of the dinner was one which gave great happl- ness both to the distinguished guest and to the members, and permitted an oppor- tunly to the latter to extend their heart- felt congratulations to him for his honora- ble professional life, which was not near complete. First Address. He introduced as the first speaker of the evening Dr. T. C. Smith, who took for his text “Dr. Busey, President of the Medical Society.” Dr. Smith told of the early strug- gles of the society, the election of Dr. Bu- sey as its head and its great advancemtnt since. Surgeon General Sternberg had for his text, “Dr. Busey, Citizen and Sanitarian, ’ and detailed his many important works in connection with the health of the city. Dr. George M. Kober spoke of Dr. Busey as “Physician, Author and Teacher,”” an paid a high compliment to the many at- tributes of the guest which had made him famous in all those undertakings. Dr. Busey’s Response. Dr. Busey was deeply moved at all of the expressions of good will, and when he arose to respond was visibly affected. There were two words in the English lan- guage, he said, which carried with them in their meaning all that one could wish— friends and colleagues. He used them in their modest acceptation in order that he could give expression to the high regard he held for those who had honored him. If he gave way to the thoughts that ani- mated him and loosened his tongue in ex- pression of his love and gratitued he was afraid his thoughts would run wild. He was reminded of his enfeebled condi and cautioned not to trespass too heavily upon his strenth, but’ there were some things he must say, even at the risk of such trespass. Dr. Busey then patd a tribute to the mem- bers of the society, who, by their loyalty to him, had made it possible to bring the organization to its present dignified pos!- tion, coequal with the best and respected all over the country} As a young man he had always thoughtsthat good citizenship demanded the activerinterest of every phy- cian to promote the sanitary condition of the place iniwhich he lived. And in the many struggledthe had had in this city he consideré@ that he had only done his duty. The Medieal Society during the past five years=has accomplished more than had been seeured here in the ve vious 100 years. More.dawb! had been } - by its Influence than.by any other one state, and the society would continue to promote the sanitation of: the capital city of this great country. He referred to the changes In the code of ethics which he had been in- strumental in bringing about, and said he was prouder of this than anything else he had ever done. The one great regret he had was that He had delayed s0 long to realize and appreciate to respect and re- gard his colleagues and friends. Work in Hospitals. W. W. Johnston ‘referred ‘especially to Dr. Busey’s work In regard to hospitals. Through his influence siuch improvement had prevailed, and his position now in re- lation to the management of hospitals was one which should be taken by every mem- ber of the profession. Hospitals should be managed by professional men and not lay- men. A captain of a ship would not per- mit a layman to run a ship and fire a gun, yet, under the present conditions, the slightest thing had to be referred to a lay body, questions which experts alone should deal with. If there was any one thing the profession should control, it was the man- s. It was humiliating s to have to refer scientific que: tions to laymen It a struggle of medi- cal men for recognition. Dr. Busey had pointed out the way, it was their duty to follow. Other speakers were Dr. 8. S. Adams, Dr. Hochling of the navy, Dr. Joseph T Johnson, Dr. Robert’ Reyburn, Dr. : Sow Dr. Kleinschmidt and Col. Alden. Members Present. Those present were Dr. A. F. A. King, Dr. S. C.

The District of Columbia National Guard is smashing all records for activity. Since Friday the troops have moved into the new armory at the Center Market building and made themselves thoroughly at homa, on decidedly short notice. Such progress has been made th the way of issuing clothing and equipments that every command is now Practicaily prepared to take the flald at a moment's notice. In order to see in just what condition the troops now are inspec- tions will be held this evening. The men have besn ordered to report in heavy marching order. This means fatigue uni- form, campaign hats, leggins, canvas car- tridge belts, blanket bags, with woolen and rubber blankets, haversacks, canteens and tin cups. The inspection will begin at 7:30 o'clock. The new armory all day y2sterday re- sembled an immense bee hive. From early morning till late at night quarters were oc- cupied by a busy throng. The battalion quartermesters had all they could well at- tend to, providing the companies with the articles necessary to fit out the men. Meet- ings of officers were in order in the evening, battalion commanders mapping out th2 line of work to be followed during the next few days in the expectation that the brigade will be caHed into the service of the United States. Instruction in guard duty will occupy most of the time hereafter, although ex- tended order drill and other necessary es- sentials for field work will not be neglected. The plans call for the entire brigade to be actively engaged every evening until fur- ther orders. The commissioned officers of the guarmi were called together Saturday evening by the commanding general, who pointed out in plain language what would be expected of them. The commanding general inti- mated that the brigade would, in all proba- bility, receive a call during the present week. He explained that in the active service offenses that have been considered trivial in summer encampments of the guard would be grave and serious misdeeds. en New Commander Takes Charge. Capt. William L. Wray and Mrs. Wray last evening assumed charge of the Salva- tion Army work in this city. The captain was formally introduced at the Salvation Army barracks, 930 Pennsylvania avenue, by Maj. Ashby Pebbles and Mrs. Pebbles. In conjunction with the two latter, he con- ducted the regular services of the army frcm 8 until 11 o'clock. Ensign Dearing, who has been in charge of the barracks since the departure of Capt. and Mrs. Noble, in a brief address took leave of his friends at this station. In the future he will assist Maj. Pebbles at the R street barracks. ——— Fine Work of Art. “Fatima,” the last of Blue Beard’s many wives, all of them famed more or less for their beauty and,for the terrible fates which overtook them, is drawing very large crowds. It is a painting executed by Mr. Philip K. Clover, whose life-sized por- trait of President McKinley is so well known to Bohemians and art connoisseurs. The ladies visiting “Fatima” find it doubly interesting, as Mrs. Clover, the artist's wife, is there to entertain them. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons have been set aside by the management as special mati- nees for the ladies exclusively, and there will be a lady attendant. A beautiful sou- venir will be given each lady attending the matinees. Entrance from Willard’s Hotel lobby and 1411 Pennsylvania avenue. —— Good Templars’ Meeting.
