AFFAIRS IN GEoRGETowN.
Local Notes Of Interest From Acrosa
Rock Creek.

The three days bazaar at Masonic Hail,
given by the ladies of Mount Tabor NJ. p.
Church, for the benefit of the church,
.ct sec today at . O'Clock. after a very sue
cessful run. The patronage OF the affair
has been fully up to expectations of the
ladies In charge, and the bazaar closed
with the regret that IL could not be con-
tinued for several days more. The guess
ing on the name of the doll which was
chrisiened by Mrs. Cleveland closed last
evening. The lucky person was Mr.. Frank
Shailue. the popular captain OF the Maui
gautuck Cycle Club, whose guess was
Martha Washington, this proving to be the
only correct one. He will donate the hand
somely dressed doll to the Naugautuck
Cycle Club. The guessing of the number
of grains on of corn was won 10y
Mr.. Charles Knott. He was the firs, one
to come nearest to the total. there being
5t1 grains, while his guess was 40 He
was awarded the handsomely spangled-
dressed doll. Mrs. Harry Myers was the
second one to guess 36a. and she was given
beautiful calendar for her attempt. The
lunch which was served at the bazaar from
IL 30 until o'clock this afternoon was
largely ratroaiZed by the business men and
others.
Funeral Services.

noon at 9:30 o'clock from his late residence.
Si01 NJ street. and was well attended. The
deceased was in his twenty-sixth gear, and
had been Ill but a comparatively short
time. He was the son of Charles and
Katherine Mccarthy, and enjoyed a large
circle of acquaintance
The funeral of Corporal James Johnson.
formerly a member of Company II. 9th
United States Cavalry, was neld yesterday
afternoon at o'clock from the undertak-
ing establishment OF John r. Mccarthy at
1895 NJ street. The funeral was of a mil
ftary character, and the interment was at
Arlington cemetery.
No Application Made.
Mr.. B. T. Janney. who is connected with
the Associated Charities. desires to correct a
statement which was published In The Star
Tuesday In regard TO the family of James
Tucker. the lineman who was SO seriously
injured on Water street over a week ago.
The article stated that the Associated
Charities had been notified of the condition
of the family, but relief had not been fur
nished. Mr. Janney stated that no appli-
cation had been made TO the Associated
Charities for relief and that an agent
visited tie place yesterday, and was in
formed that no charity was desired by the
FAMILY. While this may be SO, there is no
doubt of the family being in need, and but
for the aid of some of the neighbors they
would be in very bad condition.
