The Evening Star will be sent daily by Mail for 50 cents per month in advance, INCREASE OF FACILITIES Havenner Baking Company to Erect an Ad- ditional Building. Total Frontage of Two Hundred and Thirty Feet—Growth of Wash- ington Industries, Workmen are engaged in removing four olG buildings on the south side of C street between 41% and 6th streets northwest, and on the site it is proposed by the Havenner Baking Company to erect a large building in order to furnish additional accommoda- tions for their business of making bread and crackers. The property, which was recently pur- chased by the Havenner Company from the Kimmel estate, has a frontage of 150 feet on C street by an average depth of 135 feet. The price paid was $35,000, which is at the rate of about $1.80 per square foot. Adjoining on the west is the large three- story building, which is now occupied by the business carried on by this company. It is proposed to erect on the new site a structure similar in height and design to that of the present building, so that when the work is completed the company will have a business house with a total front- age of 230 feet. It will be one of the larg- est, if not the largest, manufacturing es- tablishment in the city, and ig the result of a policy of expansion which has been kept steadily in view by the members of the firm, which is composed of Mr. Edward Graves and Mr. Benjamin S. Graves. The Cracker Department. It is the intention to remove the bread- making part of the business into the new building when it is completed, and to de- vote the whole of the present structure to the manufacture of crackers or biscuit, as it is generally termed in the trade. Already the company supplies a large proportion of the local trade in crackers, and in addition their product is sold in various parts of the country. Owing in Part to the development of this part of their trade, and in order to obtain the needed facilities for meeting the increas- ing demands, the addition to the present establishment was decided upon. It may not be uninteresting to know that this company is supplying the bread and hbardtack which is being used at Camp Alger. Recently it sent out to the camp six tons of hard tack and are daily sup- plying some 6,00) loaves of bread. Manufacture of Flags. It was not long ago noted in The Star that the flags used by ths army of the United States at all the posts throughout this country, as well as at the front, are made by the firm of M. G. Copeland & Co. of this city, whiie much of the leather ac- coutrements of the soldiers of the army is mad> in this city at the shops of J. S. Top- ham. In the opinion of many citizens these and other instan¢es which might be mentioned show that there is in progress a marked de- velopment of the manufacturing interests of the city, and that there fs every likeli- hood of a continued increase along these lines. A great many people who have given this subject consid:rable thought believe there is no phase of the material intercsts of the city as important as the growth of its manufactures. It is believed in this way there will not only be a substantial increase in the population, but that th> resources of the city will be placed on a firmer basis. Former Police Court. In connection with the announcement made above of the removal of the four old buildings on C street to make room for the new structure for the use of the Havenner Baking Ccempany, it will be recalled by the clder residents of the city that one of these buildings Was occupied for some time by the Police Court, and there th> late Judge Snell administered justice to petty offenders. In th arly years of the city this build- ing, which is a four-story structure, was for hotel purposes, and was managed by old Mr. Kimmel, in whose estate the property has remained until the recent transfer. it is also @ matter of history that the founder of the Havenner Company started in business more than three-quarters of a century ago in a small building which occu- =d a portion of the site upon which the establishment stands. This was Havenner, a native of Prince county, Md., who came here when ness which has remained in the family ever since, and is now carried on by two of the nephe SS HUSBAND AT THE FRONT. Wife of Volunteer Obliged to Give Up Her Children. Henry A. Cutshaw, aged three years, and Thomas A. Cutshaw, aged one year, were today brought into Judge Kimball's court by their mother, Mrs. Emma Cutshaw, who asked that the children be turned over to the board of children’s guardians. Mrs. Cutshaw said her husband had gone to the front in a Maryland regiment, leaviag her without any means of support.’ Her request Was granted. ee Theft of a Wheel. Detectives Boardman and Gallaher went to Baltimore this morning and brought back a young colored man named Frank Holland, against whom there is a charge of theft. He was in this city a few days ago, and when he got ready to return to his home, which is at Wilmington, Del., he was minus car fare. Mr. M. J. Wines’ bicycle was in front of the owner's office, on 7th street, and Frank rode over the road to Baltimore on it. When he got there he was willing to dispose of the wheel for a consideration, and this got him in trouble. Now he will have to appear before Judge Kimball and answer the charge of theft preferred against him. Ce be Engineer Battalion From the District. With the approval of Col. Eugene Griffin, Major Gilbert Thompson, late commanding officer of the Engineer Battalion, D. C. N. G., has been for several weeks canvassing the District and vicinity with a view of raising a distinctive local engineer battal- ion for place in the proposed engineer bri- gade. The record of the District of Colum- bia engineer battalion is very generally known, and it was transferred as infantry, as the 6th Battalion of the 2d Regiment, D. C. N. G., last April. Many of its members would be glad to enter engineer service again. Aside from these gentlemen, there 1s ample and good material in sight for at least four companies whenever the organ- ization of the brigade is entered upon. Ary one interested can address Major Thoms- son, United States geological survey, city. ee ee Dismisses Her Petition. Mrs. Otis B. Collerd has given up her ef- fcrt to recover possession of her three-year- eld boy John from Mr. and Mrs. Julian B. Le Preux by writ of habeas corpus. Her Jawyer, W. E. Poulton, today filed an order from her dismissing the petition, which was origmally entered the 16th instant. Pits ees Released *rom Custody. Geo. A. Fowle, defendant in the divorce case of Fowle vs. Fowle, has been dis- charged by Judge Hagner from the custody of the marshal. Mr. Fowle was committed Saturday last for failure to satisfy the money part of the court's decree of divorce in favor of the wife. —- + Taken Home fof Interment. The body of Clarence Crist, the govern- ment clerk who committed suicide at his home, No. 1303 H street northwest, as told in yesterday’s Star, was taken tv Ohio to- day. It is the intention of frieuds to have the funeral take place at Wadsworth. His remains will be buried in the family lot in the Wadsworth cemetery. —_——_— Found to Be Insane. Willis Painter, a Swiss, who was arrested about two weeks ago on the charge of car- rying scveral weapons concealed on his p3r- son, was today tried before a jury on the question of his mental condition, The jury found that Painter was deranged, and he was sent to St. becca asylum to Ronse for deportation by Department, as provided by law in such cases. AMUSEMENTS, “BROTHER JOHN."—‘Jimmy” Barrows, who is this weck surprising and amusing his many friends and admirers by his work in the goulntal role of Thomas H Bean, the irrepressible “special for lie’s,” in “Held by the Enemy,” at the Columbia, will next week agé rapidly and return to the line of old men’s parts, with which he has been most closely identified in Washington. He will appear in the title role of “Brother John,” Martha Morton's comedy, in which William H. Crane made such a success some seasons ago. As will be remembered, this is a high comedy role, and will serve to show Mr. Barrows’ tal- ents in portraying character, amusing but real, like the old doctor in “A Superfluous Husband,” which was one of his most artis- tic bits last season. “Brother John” is a sedate, slow-going old fellow, whose fam- ily, including a sister ard sundry nephews and nieces, suddenly come in for a lot of money: Immediately from plain country people they are transformed into amateur butterflies of the most extravagant sori. Naturally they fali into the hands of so- ciety sharpers, and during their stay at the seaside Brother Jchn comes down to visit them. Being a shrewd old codger, even if a trifle slow-going, he soon appre- ciates the trend of affairs, and, being also @ connoisseur of human nature, he applies heroic remedies. Instead of indulging in reproaches, he plunges into the swim and is soon, to all appearances, the wildest duck in the puddle. The result is that, after he has saved his favorite nephew from the clutches of a gambler and thor- oughly disenchanted his sister and nieccs with flashy society, they themselves beg him to go home to their old peaceful life again. It will be a great play, not only for Mr. Barrows, but for all the members of the company, who will have good parte. The advance sale of seats opens tomorrow. “THE WHITE SQUADRON.”—The con- Bress of navies, showing the warships of the differgnt navies of the great powers of the world, will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House during the coming week, and is said to be the most realistic production of its kind ever stagcd. The company is @ strong one in every respect, headed by distinguished actors, who have appeared here before. Among the number Miss Laura Bigger and Mr. David Murray are assigned the principal parts. The com- pany is fresh from its castern triumphs, and during the engagement in Brooklya re- cently the manager offered to Luy off «cm- ing attractions in order to have a run, but advance bookings precluded the making of satisfactory arrangements. Matinees Wed- nesday and Saturday. THE PARRY OPERA CO.—The Parry Opera Company of fifty people, under the direction of William Parry, the stage di- rector of the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, arrived from New York yester- day und are now located at Glen Echo, where they will open Saturday night in “The Mikado.” Mr. Parry has selected his summer company with especial care, and the roster of principals includes such people as Marie Coleridge, Arline Crater, Marie Touhey, Selina Rough, Oscar Girard, Frank Deshon, George Broderick, Jay C. Taylor and Walter Cunningham. The chorus numbers forty people, especially selected for strong, clear voices, for Mr. Parry realized what a contract he had in filling the great amphitheater, which will seat even more people than the Metropoli- tan Opera House. Special scenery and ef- fects are brought from New York for the summer's producticns, which will include “Olivette,” “The Chimes” and all the list of popular old operas, which people cannot hear too often when they are given in style commensurate with their merits. THE BROADWAY GIRLS.—Manager Kernan’s attraction for next week will be the Broadway Girls Burlesquers. This or- ganization is new to Washington this being its first season, but from other large cities come excellent press opinions. The cos- tumes are rich and elegant, the specialties refined and high-class, the scenery, gorge- ous and artistic and the opening burletta and burlesque are new and up-to-date. The management have contrived to make theirs the leading burlesque organization of today with a desire to please the admirers of good wholesome comedy and burlesque and they have accordirgly spared no ex- pense to achieve this object. The olio, which is regarded es an exceptionally good ene, includes the Carlons in their original wild west comedy, entitled “The Texas | Girl and the Circus. Man," the operatic trio, including Allie Belle, J. C. Marshall and K. Raymond, in a melange of choice vocal gems; Englehart and Rose, the female athletes, in their unique entertain- ment; Ed. Chrissie, the favorite mgnologue artist; the Darling Sisters, character change artists; Brooks and Brooks, ex- ponents of modern humor; Miss Marie Richmond, the artistic model, and Williams and Hood, the refined comedy duo. MANAGER KERNAN'S TESTIMONIAL. —Manager Kernan is probably as well known as any variety manager in the United States. He possesses a thorough knowledge of the public tastes to which he seeks to cater. His friends, together with the patrons to whose tastes he has accept- ably catered, and whose comfort he has invariably sought to insure, desire to mani- fest their appreciation in the benefit per- formances to be tendered next Monday. Aside from the interest which the bene- ficiary will lend to the occasion the attrac- tion selected gives assurance of an enter- tainment which will in itself invite liberal patronage inasmuch as {t will be a purely professional performance, that excellent and meritorious aggregation of “stars” the Broadway Girls Burlesquers having vol- unteered for the occasion. MR. HUTCHINSON’S CONCERT—A con- cert will be given at the Universalist Church, corner 13th and L streets north- west, tomorrow evening by John W. Hut- chinson, the venerable singer of Lynn, Mass. Mr. Hutchinson, although a .man of advanced years, possesses a strong, musical voice that should be most accept- able in the program which he has prepared for this occasion. He will be assisted by Mrs. Postell-leverest, soprano, and Mr. H. W. Howard, plarist. EXCURSIONS. The steamer Jane Moseley will again re- sume her trips to Colonial Beach, the first, trip taking place Monday, May 30 (Decora- tion Gay), and special trips will be given Sundays, June 5 and 12. The regular daily trips will be inaugurated Saturday, June 18. There is no more delightful trip out of Washington than that to the Beach. The boat passes in full view of Forts Foote and Washington, Indian Head proving grounds, Aquia creek and many points of historical interest. The War Department régulations do not interfere with these trips, and ex- cursionists will be landed at a seasonable hour at the Washington wharf. The boat has undergone extensive repai and it is proposed to make the run this season in about four hours, making it the quickest run ever attempted to the Beach. The dining room has been placed in the hands of a capable caterer, and it is proposed to furnish a good dinner or supper on board the boat. Capable officers have been chosen to man the boat, and the best of order will be maintained at all times. Arrangements have been made to stop each day at Alex- andria and Somerset Beach, an excursion resort about two miles below Maryland Point. The entire management of the boat is in ‘the hands of Mr. Adam F. Wurach, the purser of last season. | ~ Capt. Randall tendered a complimentary excursion to the Washington Elks yester- day, and a large number of them and their friends took advantage of the op- portunity for an enjoyable sail on the ‘beautiful Potomac and a stay at pleasant River View. The day was most enjoy- ably spent in dancing and partaking of the eshments that had been provided and the Elks voted the day a complete success in every particular. The Elks will give a return excursion some time in June. ‘Washington Commandery, No. 1, U. R. K. of P., will give an excursion to Pen Mar end Gettysburg Decoration day. ‘These points are of great interest and this ex- cursion will furinsh opportunity for many to visit them under favorable auspices. A four-hour run is guaranteed both going and coming. —_—_—_ Remember This, 5-Ib. boxes finest Creamery Butter are down..to $1.25. You'd better get in on the down price. J. F.

Held Last Evening. Ordinance Imposing Licenses Adopted Unanimowsiy—Contederate Me- mortal Exercises—Notes. Evening Star Bureau, “ No. 529 King street. Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 25, 1898. A regular semi-monthy meeting of the city council was held last night, and the recommendation ef the finance committee that an additional appropriation of $500 for cleaning the streets was approved, as was an act to appropriate a part of the city revenue for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 1898, to the payment of salaries and other expenses. The appropriation for the year ending May 31 is more than $2,500 less than that of the last fiscal year. The ordinance imposing and collecting li- censes for the year beginning June 1, 1898, was unanimously passed. A resolution, which was adopted by the board of aldermen March 22 last, requiring the Washington Southern railroad to pro- tect street crcesings -st the intersection of Henry and Ororcco streets and Henry and Queen streets, was referred to the com- mittee on streets by the common council, the action of the board of aldermen not be- ing concurred in. A petition of the heirs of the late John W. Garrett, asking that the assessment of taxes on the old cotton factory on. North Washington street be reduced from $60,000 to $25,000, was referred to the finance com- mittee. Without transacting any other business council adjourned. Confederate Memorial Exercises. The confederate Memorial day in this city yesterday was one long to be remembered by the members of R. E. Lee Camp, Con- federate Veterans, under whose auspices the affair was conducted. The exercises of the day, as stated in yesterday's Star, com- menced yesterday morning, when a com- mittee from Lee Camp visited the ceme- teries in and around the city and decorated the graves of the confederate dead with flowers, while the ladies of the Woman’s Auxiliary attended to the placing of a large number of headstones at the graves. Early in the afternoon large numbers of people from Washington and the surround- ing country began to come in, and hy 4 o'clock the crowds began to assemble about the confederate monument, at the intersec- tion of Washington and Prince streets, and at old Christ Church. Promptly at 5 o'clock the procession began to form, and at 5:30 o'clock the start was made. The line of march was over the route, as published in The Star yesterday. The pro- cession was composed of a squad of polic Chief Marshal Thomas Perry and aldi 3d Regiment Field Band; R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans; M. B. Corse Camp, Sons of Conféderate Veterans; Children of the Confederacy; Junior. Light Infantry, Friendship Field. Band and the Columbia Fire Company. After the Wme-cof march had been gone over a halt Was»made at the monument, where singing,.a.prayer by Chuplain J. T. Williams andsancaddress by Rev. John Mc- Gill of Falls Chunch took place, after which the procession“proceeded to Christ Church, where there -was singing by the Children of the Confe@eracy and a selected choir, under the leadership of Mrs. W. M. O’Brien. When the stvewing of flowers on the con- federate mound ‘there was concluded the exercises were closed by the sounding of taps by Mr. Myers of Friendship Field Band. Interval Between Grand Jury Sessions The city Jeil:t now aimost deserted, there being ‘only ten prisoners confined there, and fiveyof them were sent from Alexandria county. Of the five that are confined: there from the city, two: of ;them, Wm, Arrington and Wm. Taylor! were sent there by Mayor Simpson over six months ago, charged with breaking and entering a railroad car, to await the action of the grand jury. To a large namber of citizens it has become a matter of conjecture as to whether or not there will be any more grand jury terms of the corporation court. Over eight months have passed since a grand jury was convened, although the commonwealtli’s attorney was advised by Mayor Simpson of the commitment of the above-named men. A prominent citizen in conversation with a Star reporter this morning said in plain terms that it was an outrage to keep those two men confined in the city jail this long while merely awaiting a trial! Baptist Young People’s Convention. The district convention of the Baptist Ycung People’s Union, made up of repre- sentetives from all of the Virginia counties in this neighborhood, will open at the Bap- ust Church in this city tomorrow morning. The address of welcome will be delivered by Rev. J. H. Butler, and addresses on gen- etal topics will be delivered by delegates ficm Culpeper, Warrenton, Richmond, Fredericksburg, Manassas, Marshall, Mid- dieburg, Upperville, A-pomattox and Wash- ington. The session will terminate Friday evening. Police Court. Mayor Simpson this morning disposed of the following cases in the police court: Mary Pearson, colored, charged with abusive language toward Jane Washington, cclored; penalty, $2.50 fine or twenty days in the werkhouse. David Brown, charged with refusing to work on the chain gang, and who was put on the bread and water diet, paid his fine of $5. General and Personal Notes. The steamer Harry Loder yesterday brought to this city 12,000 pounds of to- bacco from Farmington, which will b3 shipped to Baltimore. Arrangements have been.made with the Washington Southern railroad to run an ex- cursion to Richmond Saturday evening. Two whole days will be given in Richmond with the Alexandria Light Infantry, who are encamped there. Judge Nicol of the circuit court for the city has appointed Mr. Gardner L. Boothe receiver for the United States Building and Loan Association of Washington, which is operating under a Virginia charter. Dr. Wm. E. Hall last night deliv2red a iecture at Del Ray for the benefit of the M. E. chapel at that place. Mr. Harry Powers, formerly of this city, but now of New York, is here on a visit to relatives. The work of shoeing and braaking the mules at the St. Asaph corral is being pushed as as possible. Twenty-five teams left tBe corral yesterday for Camp Alger, near Church. Messrs. Downey, Ewald and Cline, who returned from ciichmond last week, re ceived ordersdast night from Capt. Atkin- gon to return to Richmond at onee. They left this morningrat 11:13 o'clock. —r— An Englishmam Who Wants to Fight. Among the-mumterous arrivals of British subjects that are seeking. service under the American bémner is R.

Woodward, the District healt officer, proposes to inaugurate June 1 quit an important change in the matter of the work of the physicians to the poor, as men- tioned in The Star of yesterday. The rec- ords of his office show that the average patients attended daily by these physictans runs from .50 in one of the northwestern sections of the city to 4.55 in one of the Southeastern sections. Dn Woodward thinks better arrangements can be made, and he has, therefore, asked for the resig- nation of five of the physicians to the poor, four of whom are located in northwestern sections, and one in a middle section of the city. Their places will be refilled, of course, so that there will be no change in the number of physiclans—twenty-two— who attend the poor of the District. The districts, as now existing, will, how- ever, be so arranged as to make the aver- age of patients attended daily more equal. So there will, therefore, be a less number of physicians to the poor in the northwest- ern sections and more in the outlying dis- tricts and in those where the population of.the dependent poor ts greatest. Another new arrangement proposed by Dr. Woodward, to go into effect the first of the month, will be the filing of calls by the poor at the different police stations, in- stead of at the residences or offices of the physicians, as is now done. The station keepers will be required to keep a record of all calls left for the Physicians, as well as @ record of the receipt by the physicians of the calls. Dr. Woodward said to a Star reporter: to- day he desires it distinctly understood that against not one of the five physicians for Whose resignations he has asked has there been any or complaint made. Their resignations have been asked for, he ex- Plained, simply because in carrying out the new plans and the redistricting of the Dis- trict it has been wise to replace them by physicians more conveniently located. No Courtesies to Individuals. To the Editor of The Evening Start You finish an editorial in your issue of last evening with this line: “This is not a time for courtesies to individuals.” Though a stranger, I venture to offer you my warm commendation for these words, ang it be- hooves those in authority to keep them constantly in mind and act on,them when occasion offers. Even though Mr. Bock and others asking the privilege of passing our lines and entering those of the enemy may be but civilians, it will not do to as- sume that there is no probability that any one of them granted tne “courtesy,” even if inclined to, could communicate any in- formation of any consequence. But is it not a possibility that such com- munication may be made to the enemy? and should such knowledge lead to the death of a single individual is there no responsibility resting on any one for it? Most assuredly there is! The first Bull Run, we are told, was a picnic, but we presently struck our pace,-and then there was less champagne in camp and men were satisfied to drink coffee without cream. It is high time we should quit playing at war and defer some of the acts of courtesy, that may lead us into serious trouble, until Johnny comes marching home. May 24, 1898. CONSERVATIVE. ——— Saratoga’s Coming Season. If present indications are fulfilled this season will be one of the most attractive in the history of Saratoga Springs.

Its patrons will find that many improvements and additional at- tractions have been provided for their pleasure and comfort. A beautifully illus- trated booklet will be sent free upon re- quest to Woolley & Gerrans, Saratoga Springs, N. Y. >-— For the Children’s Country Home.

The Metropolitan Railroad Company is threatened with a loss of patronage unless the management removes the United States flags which have been displayed on its cars ever since The Star suggested that patriotic citizens should show their senti- ments by displaying the national emblem during the present war.

Some peo- ple may not object to having this symbol {as it now is used) of a cowardly and mean robbery flaunted in their faces, but to the writer it is an insult and an imposition, and citizens who despise and abhor this attempted despoiling of an old friend’s pos- sessions as Cuba, etc., is by this country should be allowed to ride in the street cars without this constant reminder of “villainy.” “The passengers on the lower road are not subjected to this annoyance, and it does not appear why this present emblem of a great robbery should be displayed on common cagriers any way. “I endeavor to dodge every car display- ing a flag. If this keeps up you may ex- pect to lose travel; the writer for one any- Way, and some others who are known, but who don’t care to speak.” The communication was signed “Daily Passenger.” President Weaver told a Star reporter that, notwithstanding the threat of “Daily Passenger,” the flags will remain on the cars until is declared between the United St&tes and Spain, and that if the writer of the letter quits patronizing the Metropolitan line the company will try to stand the loss of the revenue. teri A Brilliant Affair Tonight.
