FALLEN.

Fell she from her high estate;
Fell as if the hand Of Fate
Had in malice struck her down;
Thrown aside her dainty crown
Left her in the street alone.

She so young and sweet and fair,
Creature of apurer air;
Light of home the radiant gleam
Of fathers dearest dream.
Sunshine was but shadow while
Friends could linger in her smile.

Fell as by the hand of Fate;

Eighth Week of Comedy.

Theater next Monday night by the pres
entation OF one of the best and most
complete comedies ever written. THE
Magistrate" by A. W. Pinero, is the
comedy. Pinero has a world wide repu-
tation as a dramatist, and even If he had
not had that name, 1.-The Magistrate"
would have given him a high position in
the front ranks of our present day writer's
This comedy not only is of great literary
merit, but its construction is perfect, and
its wit and humor striking and con-
tagious. 1t will be 4 great vehicle for
the talents of the members OF the present
company, and in their hands will prove
the most entertaining bill yet given. Fred

Change In Officers Contemplated at
the Next Meeting.

The rain OF yesterday afternoon spoiled

by the C. E. cycle orgaDizatlon- Incl
dentally, it also spoiled every other kind
of cycle afternoon movement except the
home run. lit was intended to make q
journey by X and First streets and con-
meeting to Takoma and return.
The first run given by the c. Z. people
was quite a success, the rain heing antici-
pated, the outing being over before the
shower began. Quite large party was
prepa red for the occasion OF yesterday, hut
1t has been postponed, probably until Fri
day next.
II WIS stated last night that there would
he u change in the officers OF the organiza
ton at the next meeting, by which the
captaincy would be assumed by Mr.. Harry
Kiniball. The reason assigned for this Is
that Capt. Muir will not lie able, owing
to his business engagements, to give the
affairs of the club the attention they should
have, and his resignation Is expected.
The suggestion Of this change is 5y Capt
Muir himself.
There is some talk amopg the members
OF retaining the present organization
simply as a center body to which all
good riders OF the C. f. may be attached
noninally, but in separate divisions. The
central club, composed OF the inost ex-
pert riders, will thus be an executive coin-
mittee for the whole organization.
1t is estimated that fully 60 per cent Of
the four thousand Endeavorers of Wash

sAHr WATER BATHING.
Reduction of Fare to Lower CedaI
Point.

Count Mitkie wicz has succeeded in
making Lower Cedar one OF the most
beautiful excursion points on the Potomac
River, and all who have been to this
lovely spot pronounce IL unsurpassed for
shade and coOi breezes. Situated as IL Is
upon a peninsula running far ont into the
RIVER there is no obstruction to the cool
breezes that are always to be found
at this Coney Island of the Potomac. The
bathing beach is one OF the finest, and the
enjoyment OF salt water bathing. with
splendid bath houses and every convenience,
combined with the fact that IL Is the
nearest salt water excursion point to
Washington. assures the excursiOnist the
longest stay for fishing. bathing. crab
bing and other amusements OF any similar
resort upon the river.

John sylvester, makes the trip to Lower
Cedar Point in about three hours, leaving
Clyde dock, foot of Seventh street. at 9
a. ~. and returning leaves Lower Cedar
about $50 p. M, thus giving about six
hours for the many amusenents to be
found there. To thoroughly Introduce the
charms and beauty of Lower Cedar Point
to the Washington public, the fare for
the round trip will be reduced Sunday.
August 2, and until further notice, to 20
cents for the round trip. This lis one Of
the greatest excursions in the world for

the best is strip OF stout linen denim
cut TO the length OF the led and herrmed
about the edges, having a broad hem at
the bottom, through which to tack the strip
to the inside OF the side pieces OF the bed,
IL both sides are to be protected. If the
bed can be placed against a wall, only
the outer side will require q strip tackled
to 1t.
In the upper corners OF the strip sew
metal rings and insert hooks in the head

made up in the morning the strip can be
folded in under the quilts, to be removed

Marshall Hall and Indian Head Trips
Increase in Popularity.

There can be no doubt as TO the pOpu-
larity OF these delightful evening rides
to Marshall Hall and Indian Head. The
Manchester Is always well patronized by
the better classes who wish to spend a
comfortable and pleasant evening on the
water with their sweethearts, wives or
friends. The breezes OF the river are
so cool and delightful now that even
Marshall Hall and its attractions are
not sufficient to prevent many from enjoy
ing the sail on to Indian Head. But the
dancing, bowling, boating, Ferris wheel
and merry go round still prove attractions
not to be resisted by the majority. The
Manchester will make her usual trips
this week, leaving the wharf at $50 p. m.;
returning will leave Marshall Hall at $50
p. m. Parties spending the day at Marshall
Hall may take advantage OF the Indian
Head trip without extra cost. Fare for
