will be the "red letter" event of the mus
zeal season. The fame of the prima don
ma. the high position she holds in the
musical world, together with the excel
lence Of, the artists who are to support
her can not fail to make the concert one
of the most attractive and noteworthy
in recent years. "A feature of especial
interest Will be the first hearing in this
city of Mr.. Watkin Mills, the baritone OF
the company, who is said to be one OF
the most accomplished concert singers
of the present day in England. Mr..
Mills's recent appearances in Boston,
New York, Cincinnati and other cities
have fully justified the fattering &C
counts of his ability which preceded his
arrival in this county. Miss Edmands,
Mr.. A damowski, Mons. Mole. and the
mem bers of the Adamowski Quartette
are we'll known artists who are always
welcome in this. city. The sale of seats
at Stock bridg's music store already
amounts to 1900, and there are still
seats left for those who apply today.

The Drowning of Mis-. Bursley.


To the Editor of The Evening Star,
Referring to the late drowning of the
steamer Manchester, 1t was only Sunday
evening that was on board that boat, and
was thinking Of the total inadequacy Of
ory provision whatever to save a person
falling overheard, and this applies to all
cur excursion boats A life preserver
thrown would not reach the person in the
water, and, If 1t did, would not be of the
slightest use, for 1t must be properly ad-
justed on the person before going over
beard. A cork ring might save a good
swimmer If 1t reached him. Lowering Q
boat is useless. Before 1t possibly could
reach him, even q strong swimmer, with
clothes on, would drown. There is only one
way to be ready to meet such an accident
en- an excursion boat. Have a small boat
always in tow, with a man in 1t. with the
rope in his hand, ready to let go instanter
if a person falls overheard. This Is the way
ell excursion steamers and barges going
cut of New York harbor do. Men, women
end children often fall overheard, but are
always rescued by the small boat. In this
case of the Manchester 1t Is probable, how.
ever, that the unfortunate young lady,
falling right in front Of the wheel, was
killed Immediately, and IL small boat had
been in tow even her body would not have
been recovered. Deck hands should have
instructions to pull people of the rail
quick. The captain certainly did all that
man could do. He knew well enough that
his and the crews efforts were futile.

SUBURBAN STREETS.

Recommend for Improvement.

Some That the CommissiOncrs VIII
Recommend for Improvement.
Just at this time, when the Commission
ers are considering the needs Of the city
with regard to street improvements, the
greatest interest centers in their actions
Ever since The Star published the first
half Of the schedule, the Commissioners
office has been flooded with letters and
petitions praying for the improvement of
certain streets. Delegations have had hear
fngs on this subject, and each section of
the city has had 4ts needs ably presented
There are bound to be many disappoint-
ments, for the Commissioners, when they
take care of the streets that were left
over from last year, will not have over
$4,000 to apply to street improvements.
This is of course on the basis of an $780,
600 appropriation. The revenues of the
District will allow $40O, 600 for this work.
and Congress will be expected to appro-
pirate a like sum.
This applies to the streets in the CITY,
1t has been the practice of Congress to
make separate appropriations for subur-
ban streets and roads, and it is understood
that this rule will be followed next year.
At any rate the Commissioners will sub
init separate schedule for suburban
streets and roads.
1t is understood that the Commissioners
will select the streets in this class to be
improved from the following list:
Grading and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
Irving streets between 18th and Bright
wood road.
Yale and Bismarck streets between 18th
street and Brightwood road
Princeton street between 14th and Bright
wood road.
Howard street between 14th and Bright
wood road.
California and Steuben streets between
18th and Brightwood road.
Kenesaw and Wallack streets between
14th and Brightwood road.
Kenyon and Marshall streets between
14th and Brightwood road.
The grading of Michigan avenue
The grading Of Massachusetts avenue
extended.
The grading and laying of sidewalks on
1st street extended northwest
The resurfacing with gravel of Bladens-
burg road.
These streets will be carefully considered
when the Commissioners are ready to
make up their final schedule. In the mean
time they will receive suggestions for fu-
ture consideration.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
A Boy Badly Injured by a Falling Tele-

s1x GrnndsOns Of the Late Mrs. Berry

An old and rotten telegraph pole on the
towpath of the Chesapeake and ONO canai
fell yesterday while half dozen boys were
at its base One, Charles G. Renner, about
fourteen years Of age, was crushed ABOUT
the thighs Edward Renner, his ten-year-
old brother, also received injuries. The
mole was seen falling by two of the boys.
and a scramble commenced, but the Renner
children were not alert enough to escape.
More serious injury to the older boy was
probably averted by rise In the ground
which caught the full force OF the pole 8
fall, and prevented it from resting its
weight upon him. Edward seems to have
been but grazed, though his bruises are
severe.
Charlie was unable to rise, and it was
thought until the Emergency Hospital was
reached that his bones had been crushed
into a pulp. At the Emergency Hospital II
was found that the principal injuries were
to the flesh of the limbs, above the knees
The telegraph pole which fell Is one owned
Ivy the canal company. and was erected 1t
Is said, fifteen or twenty years ago to sup
pert the company's line to Cumberland
Long stay in the ground had decayed the
lower portion. The boys were playing some
sort Of a game, in which the pole was used
as a home base. At an exciting point In
the game there was united run against
the big upright. The force of the contact
broke 1t at the base and it fell.

covered on the site. Hydraulic machines
for lifting water into the sewer are con-
stanty at work and will be placed in posi-
ton for emergencies 1t was the original
intention to construct an addition to the
building, and work on the rear wall was
suspended pending the action Of congress
to make the necessary appropriation for the
adjunct, but inasmuch as congress declined
to open its pursestrings any further for the
purpose named, II abandoned and work
on the rear wall will now be finished.
All material necessary for this years work
is now on hand. The stone contractors have
put in immense derricks which lift granite
blocks, some of which weigh several tons,
to the fourth story.
1t is possible that a new sidewalk will be
erected around the building.
Superintendent Latenser makes his head

the supervision of the building with con-

with intense satisfaction. He says that If
possible he will endeavor to surprise the
community by having the finishing touches
put on the structure before the contemplated
two years time in order to break the record
Of federal construction. In the meantime
work will be pushed with restless zeal To
attain that end. When finished 1t will be
one of the largest and best equipped federal
buildings in the country, and in point OF
architectural beauty will be surpassed by
none.
