A CONCERT AND A RAFFLE.
A Musical Treat-A Washington Lady
Wins a Building Site.


A large number of ladies and gentlemen of
this city attended on Wednesday evening at
Linden Station, on the Metropolitan Branch of
the B. & o. Railroad, concert under the au-
spices of the ladies of Carroll Chapel to aid in
building new church at Forest Glen Some
excellent music was rendered by the choirs of
St Paul's and Carroll Chapel, assisted by Mrs.
H. r. Smith, Miss Mollie Byrnes, and Messrs.
Fugitt, Richardson, Mcfarland and Mosher
The solo, Dreams was charmingly sung by
Mrs. Z. R. Smith in response to an
encore. Miss Byrnes's encore, "The Cows Are
in the Corn" was very effectively given.
The singing of the quartette, Messrs. Mosher,
Mcfarland, Richardson, and Fugitt, was
heartily encored after each selection, as in fact,
were all the numbers on the programme,
including the solo by Miss Kate c. Lamb,
''When the Heart is Young;n "Good Night,''
('Martha'') by Misses Masterson and Smith and
Messrs. Mcfarland and Fugitt; ''Infiamnatus,"
solo by Miss May Masterson solo, 'See the
Stars" by Mrs. B. j. Baldwin, and a sextette,
''Belsairo7 DoniZetti, Misses Masterson, Ander-
son, Smith, and Mr.. Bouic Clark
Miss Lamb deserves great credit, and the
success of the concert is largely due to her un-
firing exertions.
AT the close of the concert rattle took place.
The prize was lot at Forest Glen, obtained
through Mr. Hertford, the proceeds of the sale
of tick cts being for the erection of new
church on the site of the old Carroll Chapel 1t
was won by Amelia E. Cromelen, of 1912
Fifth street northwest.
A Splendid Chance for Investment.
Among the many Virginia towns which in the
past few months have experienced rapid and
healthy growth none possesses superior ad-
vantages to Buena Vista. This town is sur
rounded by country Of wonderful fertility
and has exceptional advantages for manufac-
turing enterprises These have attracted the
attention of capitalists, and many manufac-
tories have already been established there, while
Others will be begun as soon as the necessary
buildings can be erected. In eight months the
population of the town has increased from a
few score to over two thousand people. This is
not large number, but, as it is apparent that
the boom is destined to continue indefinitely, no
better opportunity for investment can be found
in all Virginia than is offered in Buena Vista
property at the present stage of its development.
Consequently the people of Washington who
desire to make money rapidly would do we'll to
take note Of the sale of lots at Buena Vista by
the West Buena Vista Land Company on Sep
tember 25 These lots are finely situated, and
are bound to increase with marvellous rapidity
in price, as the manufacturing enterprises
already guarantee the town a sure population
OF ten or twelve thousand within the next year
and half Those who desire to avail them
selves of this fine opportunity for profitable in
Vestment should address John w. Blackburn,
president, or John T. Mckee, secretary and
treasurer OF the land company at Buena
Vista

World writer. / was standing In the
special sanctum of young Mrs. Maud
Booth, down in tho Salvation Army
headquarters at Ill Reade street. She
had Just come upstairs from con
secration meeting" held in the assem-
bly-room below. Her fair face was
flushed and her great soft eyes brilliant
with the excitement just past. A
creamy white shawl wrapped about her
shoulders, over her dark-blue uniform,
brought out effectively the fine tints
and lovely outlines ofher exquisite face.
The light Of single lamp touched to
gold the ripples Of her brown hair. She
sat before her writing-table, with Its
litter OF pens, blotters and the para
phernalia OF literary worker, for this
remarkable young lady is an author as
we'll as the leader Of the Salvation Army
In America, and has written several
books, the latest Of which, entitled
Beneath Two Flags" is just from the
publishers hands.
She was speaking Of the work her
people are doing in the New York slums,
but her earnest words failed to rivet my
attention after it had been attracted by
small ruby velvet case standing just
within reach Of her hand and apparently
filed with an unbroken package Of Gig
arettes. 1t stood on end, the neat, close
ly-packod, snowy paper rolls just show
ing above the velvet envelope, which
was embroidered daintily and bore tho
initials Of Mrs. Booths name in mono
gram.

the little case was extended toward me.

roll bore different design Of flowers or

About FIVE miles from Aiken, S. c., on

is the superstition attached 10 the

~ IL Was Sarcastic.
In a group OF army officers at the club
the other day, says Washington corre-
Bpondent OF the New York Tribune, the
following anecdote was told:
"Ten or fifteen years ago." the mar
rator said, Colonel R. s. Mackenzie,
Fourth United States Cavalry, now on
tho retired list OF the army rs
Brigadier- General, was considered the
next candidate for appointment as Brig
Adier-General. His principal rival was
another wearer OF the silver eagle upon
his shoulder-straps, Colonel N. A. Miles,
Of the Fifth Infantry, now Brigadier-
General in command Of the division OF
tho Pacific, who was as anxious, OF
course, as Colonel Mackenzie TO secure
tho star OF Brigadier-G General. In
Colonel Mackenzie's regiment there was
then grizzled veteran, Captain Napo-
leon d. Mclaughlin. One bright star
light night they were together In camp
ON scout on the plains OF Texas.
Colonel Mackenzie was walking up and
down near his tent in q nervous man
ner, swapping his fingers, when sudden
" he stopped and gazed intently up into
the heavens. Captain Mclaughlin,
stepping out Of his tent, observed the
Colonel In this attitude and remarked;
"'what are you looking for, ColonelS'
sob, replied the Colonel, carelessly,
II am only looking for star
"'Colonel,' replied Captain McLaugh-
len, Il fear there's Miles between you
and that STAR"
And 80 1t turned out too, as every
bod v knows.

mess bills sometimes exceeded the officers

tell how they made him caterer, anu by
his intimate knowledge of the Indians
economical methods of cooking and his
luck mt hunting the mess was soon able TO
declare dividends. i hav been with him
in many hunting trips, and / never saw a
better or steadier shot. Sage hens are not
the easiest game to bag, land yet have seen
him repeatedly drop a bird out of a Hook
with each barrel; but not only that, he
would kill n chicken every time, HIS eye
was so quick that while aiming Inc could
select the chicks instantaneously. With
all his experience and trials, GENERAL
Crook was as simple as "a child. he was
straightforward and truthful, and had no
patience with ~conccalment n trickery.
He never broke his word to n white man
or red man." q,
The story Of the courtship of General
Crook IL q romantic one. Early In the
war Crook, then n captain. was stopping
nj the Queen City hotel, Cumberland, Md.
He was there assisting General Kelly in
organizing regiments and defending tho
state Of West Virginia from invasion.
General Kelly was at the same hotel. The
proprietor Of the house was John Daley
who was also proprietor OF Glades hotel
al Oakland, Md, a famous country resort.
Mr.. Daley had two daughters, the eldest
Of whom, Miss Mary, was n charming
and pretty girl. She had southern sym:
pathies, for her mother was a member OF
a wealthy and notable old Virginia family
who lived mt Moorfleld.
During Crooks stay at the hotel he was
much attracted by the young lady, but
she was a spirited girl and refused To he
gracious TO the army officer, although at
heart she liked him.
The oldest of Bonifacc Dailey's child
rem was a son. James, who was devoted TO
the cause of the Confedcracy. He q Of
Tense al the persistent u open atten-
tons of Crook to his sister, and finally or
ganized a band of about fifty young and
daring spirits like himself and saw that
they were well mounted n armed. When
everything was ready about a dozen OF
Dailey's band crept into the hotel after
midnight, seized Generals Kelly and
Crook, gagged them, and i'm n few mo-
ments they were all on their way to Rich
mond. The Federal lines were passed
without detection, and the prisoners were
safely landed in the Confederate capital.
Afterwards they were exchanged.
Crook went into active service and was
badly wounded. He was sent to Oakland
with other wounded officers, and singular
ly enough. was quartered ut the Glades
hotel. Miss Mary then showed her true
feelings and nursed her brothers late
captive through what at n time was
thought to be n fatal illness. When he
recovered he proposed, but was refused,
her political sentiment still being i'm the
ascendant. Twice after that the con-
qucror Of Cochise and Geronimo attacked
the fair fortress, a.id at last IL surrendered.
The general has been very happy In his
married life, although no children were
born to him.
