The money will be expended in buying vegetables and little table delica- cies for the men in camp, while the sup- plies sent to the surgeon will be used in the hospital, providing much neefed com- fort for the sick soldier boys. At a meeting of the executive commit- tee, held recently, a letter was received and read from the surgeon of the District regiment, in which he gave a list of the articles badly needed for the care of the sick. While the health of the regiment was siated as excellent at the present time there is no telling in an army camp just when the hospital may be filled with suf- ferers. Upon reading the letter the com- mittee actively set to work to secure the medicines and surgical supplies. A thor- ough canvass among the druggists of the city was made, with the result that every- thing the surgeon wanted was contributed within a short while. The work of packing required but a few minutes, and lasi night the box was shipped through to Tumpa, es HINTS FOR THE DAILY MENU.

There will, ecubtless, be sure enough joy in camp when the food purchased from the funds forwarded by the association is set upon the tables and the boys have additional evidence that they are not forgotten at nome. it has been decided by the association to appoint Chaplain Dudiey and the majors of the three batiations of the District reg- iment as an advisory committee, who will be invited to inform the association from 2 ft. of Hgse complete, $1.25.

AMUSEMENTS. “ESMERALDA"—“The Mighty Dollar” is proving one of the biggest wihnés, cf the Columbia summer comedy season, and bids fair to break the record for a week at the cozy little F street play house, Since the opening night James O. Barrows has been developing his impersonation of the Hon. Bardwell Slote, until it assumes the dignity of an original creation, while Mrs. Find- lay’s version of Mrs. Gen. Gilflory is one of the funniest characters she has ever done. In fact this performance bids fair to become as celebrated in the annals of Washington summer theatricals as he work with Fred. Bond in “My Awful Dad. But the Columbia is now firmly committed to the policy of changing the bill weekly, so “Esmeralda” is now in rehearsal for the next production. It will be remembered that this was one of the first dramatic suc- cesses of Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, and not a little of this was doubtless due to the excellent stage version of the origi- nal story prepared by that master of stage- craft, William Gillette. It is also remem- bered as the play in which sweet Annie Russell made her first great hit, and her im- tion of the title role served to es- ish her on the New York stage. Miss Eleanor Browning .will play the title role, and it is expected she will fill all its re- quirements. “FRA DIAVOLO” — According to his policy of alternating semi-romantic with opera bouffe, Manager Parry of the Glen Echo company {s preparing the intensely dramatic as well as comic “Fra Diavolo,” to follow the present production of the merry “Mascot.” Mr. Charles Hawley, who is singing Pippo with such success | this week, will impersonate the romantic brig- and, Fra Diavolo, and his splendid baritone will be heard te advantage in the score. Allene Crater will find another soubrette character right in her line in Zerlina, while Viola D'Armon will essay the contralto comedy role of Lady Allcash, with Harry Carter as her jealous husband. Frank Deshon, who carries the comedy interest of “The Mascot” as it has seldom been done here, will have another excellent part as Beppo, the burlesque brigand, while big, jolly Tom Springer will furnish a fine foil as the fierce if fat Giacomo. Jay C. Tay- lor, as Captain Lorenzo, the accepted lover of little Zerlina, will have opportunities for some of his best singing, while’'Tom Daly will doubtless do full justice to the role of Mateo, the inn-keeper. Already the re- hearsals give promise of a production that will maintain the excellent record of this organization, which has yet to score any- thing like a poor production. Soe EXCURSIONS. The steamer Charles Macalester makes two trips every day that are always en- joyed by a goodly number whose destina- tions are Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall. Mount Vernon, the home end tomb of Washington, {s at all times an object point for strangers in this city, while Marshall Hall appeals to those who go for a day of unalloyed pleasure. With its green lawns, fine old shade trees and iis hosts of amusements for young and old, there is little wonder that this beautiful place has been so popular for so many years. Prof. Schroeder's band accompanies the steamer on both trips and makes the sail down the Potomac in the cool river breezes doubly enjoyable by good music. The band also furnishes the music for dancing at the Hall. ‘The excellent table d’hote dinners, includ- the famous Marshall Hail clam cho der, are served daily on the arrival of tl boat. The steamer -Charles Macalester makes two trips to Mount Vernon and Ma shall Hall, leaving 7th street wharf at n. and 2:30 p.m. ‘oday’s trips to River View are the first of this season's regular Wednesday trips of the steamer Samuel J. Pentz to that pretty resort, under the personal direction of Capt. E. 8. Randall, ‘These trips w particularly popular with the young peop! last season, and the View management is satisfied from the early trip today of an increase in popularity this season. For the amusement of the young people the River View Orchestra plays dance music on the large and cool pavilion from the arrival of the first boat in the morning until the last trip homeward at night. The chute and all the other fun-producing amusements of the View are in full operation. The excursion to Ocean City, Md., next Friday, under the auspices and for the ben- efit of the St. Rose Industrial School of this city, promises to be a successful one from every standpoint. Fully 100 are ex- pected to go from Washington and a like number from Baltimore It furnishes an opportunity to spend a couple of days at aside resort, including board at the principal hotel of the place, at a very small outlay. A special train will leave the B. and O. depot Friday at. 4:30, connecting with boat at B idge for-Claiborne and thence to Ocei by special train. Re- turning, the train will reach Washington at about 10 p.m. Sunday. Those di to take advaniage of this cheap exe must register at offices of John F. man, 70) lith street, on or before Thurs- day. —— BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL. Various Items of Business Considered at Regular Mecting. At the meeting of the Building Trades Council last evening the committee of that body which waa present at the recent hearing given to the opponents of the pending eight-hour bill by the Senate com- mittee on education and labor” made ‘an extended report. It was stated by the committee that every objection urged against the bill by its opponents was satis- factorily answered by the representatives of labor. After the report of the commit- tee the council r2affirmed its indorsement of the bill and will request the Senate committee on education and labor to re- port the measure without those elimina- tions which were sugg>sted by those whe oppose the biil in its present form, The chairman of the committee to ar- range for an excursion to River View on Labor day stated that the committee on entertainment had concluded to award prizes to those who should successfully participate in the various games and sports which will be provided for on that occasion. A communication was received from the secretary of the Building Trades Council of Milwaukee, Wis., acknowil2dging the re- ceipt of a donation from the Building Trades Council of this city to assist in the defense of Otto Fisher, the business agent the Milwaukee council, who is being prosecuted for conspiracy. ‘The appzal which has been prepared by a committee representing the various cen- tral labor bodies of this city, and which will be sent to all iabor organizations throughout the country, soliciting funds for the defense of those members of local labor bodies who were recently iadicted for criminal conspiracy was indorsed. It was also decked to communicate with the building trades organizations of the coun- try and request that they urge their re- spective representatives in Congr2ss to as- sist in the defense of those indicted. wees SS The two-story brick dweiling, No. 1627 17th st. n. w., will be sold by trustees at auction tomorrow afternoon at 5:30 o'clock. See advt. . es To Block Santiago’s Harbor. To the Editor of The Evening Star. In today’s news from Santiago it ap- pears that Admiral Sampson is of the opin- ion that the sunken Merrimac does not completely block the harbor of Santiago and that the Spanish fleet can pass out by ene end of the sunken boat. If this be correct, I would like to venture the opinion that the harbor can be completely blocked by the following method: Lash a heavy schooner loaded with stone to each side of a strong tugboat. Put in the bow of each schooner a torpedo with time fuse. Lash | the tugboat rudder after pointing the tug straight for the harbor; start the engines of the tug and “let her go.” The crew of the tug can easily escape from her rear end in @ small boat. Under the protecting fire of the United States ships the tug and schooners could easily approach with- in one mile of the sunken Merrimac before starting on the run for the harbor and would sink near that vessel in a few min- utes after starting.

Police Batons Found. ‘The police “‘biliies,” which were recently stolen from the police station, were fouad in the window of Police Commissioner Lindsay’s warehouse on South Union street. A note was attached, which stated that if the police would be more attentive to their duties and stop hanging about places where they can get pies and cakes, they would not be robbed and thievery would not be so frequent. The note also stated that one of the offi- cers allowed his pocket to be picked of $44 at the Southern depot recently, and, fur- ther, that the citizens will not be surprised to near of the officers being robbed of their clothes while patrolling their beats during the night. The writer of the note evident- ly had a grudge against the police force. The police have the suspect under sur- yeillance, and every effort will be made to Trove the charge against him. Virginia Troops to Move. A report was current this morning in thls city to the effect that the 3d Virginia Regiment, now stationed at Camp Alger, Va., would be among the troops to be sent to Portsmouth, Va., for transfer on trans- ports to Porto Rico. This rumor caused consternation among the parents and friends of the Alexandria boys. The rumor eculd not be verified. Election of Officers.

Mr. Isaac Hall, a well-known citizen, who had been ill for some time, died at his home on Lee sireet yesterday. —+ — ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS. Frauds Committed on Anacostia Rail- Wway—General and Personal. The number of queer-looking metal pieces j resembling 5-cent coins being taken daily from the fare boxes of the Anaéostia Rail- road Company had the effect of starting an investigation. It was learned that they are the “dummy” pieces sold by the Co- lumbia Phonograph Company for the pur- ese of dropping in the slots of their ma- chines. These pieces, so the official says, are used as fares every day on the Anacos- tia line. It is practically impossible for the drivers to tell the difference between the “fake” nickels and the real ones as they lie in the boxes. Those who use these pieces for defrauding the company will be punished if caught. Next Sunday the summer schedule at St. Teresa's Church goes into effect. The two Sunday masses will, therefore, be low masses, celebrated at 6:30 and 9 o'clock, re- spectively. The services of the choir will, during this period, be dispensed with, ex- cepting at the vesper service, which’ will be sung by the junior choir at the usual hour, 7 o'clock Sunday evenings. Miss Teco Hughlett and Mr. Arthur Virts, both attaches of St. Elizabeth, were mar- ried quietly in Washington recently, but few of their friends being advised of the event. The couple are.now. visiting friends in Ohio. The end of the public school term was celebrated in all the schools in this section today by exercises consisting of songs and recitations. In the Van Buren building, Anacostia, the sixth, ‘Seventh and eighth grades held exercises jointly, as did the fourth,and fifth. The first, second and third grades held separate exercises. The teach- ers spoke a few words of advice and leave- taking, and about noon the pupils were dis- missed. Elliott “Hoopes, a young man with the ist District of ‘Columbia.

Institution Opens Tomorrow for the Reception of Guests. ‘Fhe Children’s Country Home, conduct- ed under the direction of the Sisters of St. Margaret, will open tomorrow, and forty-five lttle children from the city will be taken out for a two weeks’ vacation. Thé fiome ts situated on Grant road, near Broad Branch road, right in the heart of the woods, and is an ideal place for the care of children. Each year it is opened to the children of the city whose parents* are too poor to allow them a vacation trip or any summer amusements. The home aecomodates forty-five of the tots and this number is taken out every two weeks, that being the time the children are entertained by the sisters. In the morning the children play about the large house, and in the afternoon they are taken out for walks in the woods and on_pic- nic parties. The home is badly in need of the little things that make child-life happy, and the sisters would be very glad to receive do- nations of toys, hammocks, tents, swings and the many out-of-door playthings that are enjoyed by the youngsters of both sexes. Notning expensive is desired, as the simplest kind of toys and playthings are best for the children. At present there is but one hammock at the home. Contributions may be sent to Miss Roy, No. 731 19th street, or if the generous donors will drop a postal to the sisters at the home they will send for any contri- butions that may be made. The post office address of the home is Tenleytown. ——— ADDITIONAL Commissioners Want Help for Health Department. The District Commissioners today ad- Gressed a letter to Senator Allison, chair- man of the Senate committee on appro- priations, requesting that there be inserted in the pending deficlency bill an item pro- viding for an inspector in the District health office whose services may be given to the inspection of cows and dairy farms in the vicinity of Washington which sup- ply milk in the District. “This work,” the Commissioners explain- ed, “is now being performed as far as pos- sible by an inspector whose present duties require him to examine all horses bought for the -District government, and to ca:e for and treat them when sick or injured, which, in itself, is sufficient to require the entire services of one man. The dairy farms referred to are, many of them, sit- uated in Maryland and Virginia, it requir- ing sometimes a whole day to make an examination of one or two farms, and the Commissicners now have before them the resignation of Dr. Robinson, the veteri- narian, which he feels compelled to ask them to accept because of his inability to perform all of the duties required of him.” The item which the Commissioners desire inserted in the bill {s as follows: “One sanitary and food inspector, who shall act as inspector of live stock and dairy farms, $1,200; one veterinary surgeon, for all de- partments of the District government, $1,200." ‘This item, the Commissioners ask, shall take the place of the following: “San- itary and food inspector, who shall be a veterinary surgeon, for all departments of the District government, and act as in- spector of live stock and dairy farms, $1,200.” He AWAITING SIGNATURE. Measures Affecting Local Railways in President’s Hands. The bill authorizing those who control the Eckington and allied railroads to con- sclidate under the name of the City and Suburban railroad now orly requires the sicnature of the President to become a law. As soon as this measure is operative It is expect2d by those now in control of the properties to hold a meeting and elect officers of the rew corporation which will be created. It is probable that Mr. O. T. Crosby of this city will be chosen president of the company and will therefore be in charge of the werk of equipping the entire line with the underground and overhead electric system, as proposed by the pro jectors. Some preliminary work has already been dcne in anticipation of favorable the bill.

In order to provi¢ needed room for the additional engines, engine house is to be torn down and one erected on the site. Mr. Crosby h- already awarded the contracts for doing work.

It ts expected when the bill be- comes a law the court will be asked to i sue an order for the saie of the road, and it is thoueht that in the course of a couple months the property can be offered at public auction. According to the terms of the bill, the road is to be equipped with the unde ground electric system. It is only a matt of cenjecture, of course, who will become the owner of the road us the result of the nie. The same people who control the Eckingtoa line agd the allied roads also control the stock of the Belt road. It is said when the meeting is held fe pese of reorganizing the company age the Eckington road the question will be taken up and decided as to whether the Interest in the Belt road will be continued. It is thougnt that the bondholders, or rather those ovning the majority of | the bonds, may be the purchasers, while it is probable also that a ryndicate may be or- ganized for the purpose of acquiring the property. The Capital Traction Company fs the only street railroad corporation that has the right as a corporation to buy this road or any other, but of course it would be poss! ble for those owning the controlling inter- est in any of the street railroads of the elly to organize a syndicate and purchase the line, operating it as an independent company, but naturally in sympathy with any interest which might be of importance to those in the management. eA, “NEW DISTRICT BUREAU. Department of Electrical Control to Be Established. The District Commissioners are desirous of establishing under the District govern- ment a department of electricity.

The Com- missioners propose, therfore, to organize a department of electrical control and place some competent and trained person at its head. They have referred the matter to the attorney for the District for an opinion as to whether there is any reason in law why they should not establish the pro- Posed department. pare aes, Miss Sallye Johnson Dend.
