A RECEPTION TENDERED Formal Opening of the New Georgetown University Hospital. Structure but Partially Donations of Eq Completed— ment Solicit- ed—Supported by Charity. A reception was held beginning at 4:30 o’clock at the new Georgetown University Hospital, at the southwest corner of 35th and N streets, Monday afternoon, to the benefactors and friends of the institution. A large number responded to the invitation, the attendance being very gratifying to the Promoters of the scheme. It is the first general hospital to be located in this sec- tion of the city. Dr. Joseph Taber Johnson sent a commu- nication explaining his enforced absence from the reception, he being necessarily in Boston. He is the chairman of the building committee, and was to have presided at the receptioa. At the request of Mr. George M. Kober, the secretary and treasurer of the committee, Rev. J. F. Dougherty, S. J., of Georgetown University presided. Father Dougherty made a short address, in which he thanked all who had helped to build the hospital and equip it, and while he did not think anything more could be consistently asked from the donors he hoped some other friends would appear and help the worthy work along. He called attention to the need of an elevator, the total cost of which would be about $1,000. As only two rooms have as yet been furnished, the cost of the furniture and beds for the other rooms of the hospital would amount to something like $2,000 more. A number of donations were reported.

According to reports on file at the Depart- ment of Agriculture the wheat crop of 1808 is promising and will surpass that of last year, if ady weather conditions do not affect it between now and harvesting tim>, during the summer and early autumn There is every indication that there will be an abundance of the cereal for home sumption, whil> the exports will prot be higher than for several years past “In the Mississippi valley,” said the S retary of Agriculture this afternoon, when seen by a reporter for The Star, “the wheat crop may b> said to be good. On the Pa- cific coast it ts not so good, however, at Groughts have badly blighted the growth there. “What effect will the abundant crop have on the preseat high prices?” repeated the Secrotary. “Well that depends entirely upon the output of wheat of the whole world. Transportation facilities today ara so efficient that a surplus anywhere throughout the globe can be shipped to an available market in little or no time. Means of communication and g>neral knowledge is So great also that when a dearth occurs at ene place it is quickly known at r where there is an abundance, and a supply is shipped to market. “I see no reason on earth why wheat should go higher. It can be considerably lower and still be profitable. The war will have no effect on the wheat crop react its destination. It is not contraband of wa , at any rate, about *) per cent of ov ying is done by British ships, and Grea Britain will not allow any interfer»nce with wheat, for they need it to make their bread in England. Resort to Ubeap “Another reason wh; t should not go higher,” continued Secretary Wilson, “is that with wheat at top figures a great Tuany persons resort to cheaper cereals, Corn is a cheaper cereal, and we all know con- bly r Cereals, it is wholesome. Compared with other grams wheat is very dear at present. Corn is coming more and more in demand, and with this great competitor wheat should not climb any higher. cannot just wheat crop with any pre wait until the crop gets beyond the harm of weather conditions. In most of th wheat-producing states we have had ty al wheat weather—a cool and we Now, if we have a spell of dry weatne: harvesting time, so as to prevent any rust, the crop should be excellent. The preseit outlook shoul! lead us to expect a much larger crop of wheat than the 550,040,000 bishels gathered in 1897.” Some Interesting Figures. Statistician John Hyde of the Department of Agriculture has collected some intere ing figures in connection with the 3898 wheat crop. Mr. Hyde declared that turns received up to May 1 showed an in- creased acreage of winter wheat of 5.7 per cent a3 compared with last year. In Kansas there is an increase of 28 per cent. There has bee more or less marked in- crease im every eastern and every southern state, and some increase on the Pacific coast. The large expansion thus indicated is to some extent offset by a decrease of 2 per cent in Indiana, 3 per cent in Ohio, 13 per cent in Missourl, 16 per cent in H- li and some reductions in less import- ant states. These reductions in Indiana, Ohio, linois and Missouri are due to the fa that while the fall of 1 was one of t finest sowing seasons ever known, that of 1807 was one of the most unfavora Even the prospective high prices of w failed to have the effect that might urally have been expected. In the thirty states in which winter wheat is raised to a greater or less extent it is found that in twenty-two of them the area devoted to wheat is increased by 2,197,513 acres; that in cight other states the aggregate decrease is 655,821 acres, the net increase being 1,411,692 acres. The Extreme West. The crop in California thas suffered se- verely from droughts, and will be the smallest ever put out from that state, so that it is doubtful if there will be any surplus Whatever from that state for ex- portation. Kansas promises to make up for this condition of affairs, however, and the crop there gives every indication of being the largest on record. The average condition of winter wheat at the begin- ning of May was 86.5, as against 8.2 on May 1 cf last year. In the nine states having 1,000,000 acres or upward in wheat the averages are: Kansas, 105; Pennsyl- vania, 96; Michigan and Tennessee, each, 95; Missouri, 88; Indiana, 87; Illinois, 86; Obio, 82; California, 26. Mr. Hyde declares that the outlook for April and May wheat, compared with last year, is better, but it is not so remarkable as compared with 18%) and 1801. The gen- eral average for the former year was (4 and 96, for April and May, and in 1891 it ‘was 96.9 and 97.9, respectively. Miss Shreve’s May Car: a A large and enthusiastic audience wit- nessed the third annual May carnival and exhibition of fancy dancing given by the pupils of Miss Cora B. Shreve at National Rifles’ Armory last night. The program included many new features, and each number was accorded hearty praise. Just before the opening of the carnival Prof. James H. Vermilya, who acted as master of ceremonies, presented Miss Shreve with a handsome gold bracelet set with dia- monds, on behalf of the members of her class. The grand entree was a handsome feature, every member of the class par- ticipating. The costumes were especially brilliant, while the movements in the ‘grand march, although difficult, were exe- cuted with precision and skill. The pro- gram consisted of solo, duet, trio and group dances, all of them given with thor- ough artistic effect, as well as some ex- cellent character sketches, songs and cho- ruses, in which the little ones appeared to advantage. Some of the more elaberate group dances elicited uproarious applause, and a number of encores were emphatically demanded. The carnival proper lasted un- til after 11 o'clock, when the floor was cleared for general dancing, in which the audience engaged until a much later hour. Those who participated were Misses Helen Berens, Elizabeth Houser, Rita Addison, Rena Ehriich, Christine and Irnea_Ber- mingham, Bernadina and Frances Scher- ger, Jane. Angel, Virian Rothstein, Lulu Hall, Josephine Hummell, Henrietta Ray, Lillian Benton, Ethel Knight, Virgie Pum- phrey, Lillian Angel, Alma Mahoney, Una Ray, Olga Hummell, Marie Topley, Belle Ray, Frances Gaegler, and Masters Karl Waiker, Lon Hummell, Joe Mack, Joe Ma- honey, Ernest Brooks, Frank Benton, Ed- die and George Sloan, Aubrey Knight and Howard Ehriich. The floor committee in charge of the car- nival consisted of Messrs. Alexander J. Bentley, jr., Edwin M. Tansil, Thomas H. Atkinson, John E. Dennison, William E. Poulton, jr., J. French Simpson, Dr. Wade Atkinson, Dr. J. Everett Keene and Dr. 'W. D. Thompson. sascatent Wi Ee Supposed Spanish Spy Arrested. A dispatch from Key West, Fla., yester- estimate on the sion, We must
