Local Market Affords an Abundance

The fruit market was never in better

Peaches will soon be gone, although the
stock in market today was fairly large and
some Of the fruit was of fine qaulity. Deal

In the mountains of western Maryland for
most of the peaches now but in a few
Gays this supply will be exhausted.
Pears have been more plentiful and cheap

number of years, but the fancy stock is now
getting scarce Farmers in the nearby
counties of Maryland and Virginia have
been supplying some extra fine stock this
season. and some of them will have fruit to
sell as late as Christmas AS the season
advances higher prices will prevail.
Japanese persimmons. grapes and tanger-

dealers are expecting some good shipments

has been quoted at unusually high figures

Apples are still plentiful and cheap. the

ADJUSTMENTS,

COLUMBIA THEATER-Miss Margaret
Mather and her company rendered "Romeo
and Juliet" at the Columbia Theater last
Eight. 1t was a. theatric rather than an
artistic presentation of Shakespeare's i'm
mortal love tragedy. Much attention had
been paid to the staging and costuming.
and the balcony scene and the tomb of the
Capulets were particularly striking pictures.
Miss Mather gave an emotional contention
OF Juliet. The strength she displayed how
ever, was rather that of maturity and not
the youthful enthusiasm inspired by the
hrst ecstasy OF passion with which Shakes
peare clothed his tender heroine. Mr.. Thorn
as l.. Coleman was the Romeo. Mark Price
gave new and frequently pleasing concep-
ton Of Mercutio, this being the case par
tlcularly in the quarrel with Tybalt and at
his death Lynn Pratt as TybaIt, E. A.
Eberle as Fr1ar Lawrence, B. 7. Ringgold
as Peter, Miss Mary Breyer as the nurse.
were in sympathy with their parts, and the
Capulet of O'Kane Hills was excellent. To-
night The Honeymoon" will be given.
THE BANDA ROSSA-At the Metropol-
itan Opera House, New York, the latest
and one of the most meritorious of Euro
pean musical attractions, the Banda Ros-
sa. numbering sixty musicians, of San Sew
ero, Italy, made it's American debut and
began its American tour with an over
whelming triumph. SO much does this band
differ, not only in it's personnel, but in it's
comparative novelty and freshness of it's
programs, that it is sure to attract and de-
light music lovers all over the country.
Its selections from the operas, which really
seem like d condensed form, containing the
essence, as it were of the works. were ex-
trerely interesting and out of the beaten
track Of oand mt sic. The two excellent
solosts, Fraulein Margaret Won Vahsel, a
very attractive soprano of fine German
standing. and Carlotta Steubenrauch, a
talented young thirteen-year- violinist,
lend variety to the programs. The Banda
Rosa will give its only Washington concert
at the New National Theater at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. when the following
program will be rendered: Overture, "Will-
lam Tell" Rossini; 'serenade," Schubert;
"Mefstofele," (a prologue and romance

Proceedings of the Meeting Held Last
Evening.

The National Republican Anti-Civil Ser
vice League held its weekly meeting at
Emrich's Hotel last evening, Vice Presi-
dent H. NJ Baker presiding. Mr.. Baker
and DIR. W. c. Boteler addressed the league
upon the situation in Maryland, and urged
the members to write their friends in that
state and otherwise to do all in their power
to induce republicans in Maryland to vote
against The proposed civil service amend
ment.
Mr. F. p. Lewis moved that the rules
be suspended and a report made on the
resolution he had submitted last week,
asking the President, in order to save the
republican party, to amend or abolish the
civil service laws. The chair, however, de-
cided that the motion was not In accord
ance with the bylaws of the association,
and the matter went over.
Mr.. Lewis also introduced resolution
asking the President to remove the gov
eminent printing office from the classified
service. and asking that Public Printer
Palmer use every effort to accomplish this
result.
The motion went over until the next

tension act Of March 3, 1893, were sworn
in the District Court this morning, and at
the request of counsel for the District the
case was postponed until Monday morning
next.
Before the jury were sworn Judge Cox
examined them as to their qualifications,
concluding that they were duly qualified to
sit in the case. On behalf of the land
owners Mr.. B. F. Leighton stated that he
desired to ask Mr.. Woodward a few ques-
tons, and in answer to Mr.. Leighton's in
quiries Mr.. Woodward stated that he is
the president of the Washington board
of trade, and was a member of it when
the highway act was formulated and
passed; that the board procured the draft
ing of the act; that he was and is in favor
of it, advocating it and doing all he pos
sibly could to secure its approval both
by the board and by Congress.
Mr.. Leighton's observations.
Mr.. Leighton thereupon submitted that

whether he does not naturally possess such
bias in favor Of its enforcement as to pre-
clude his appearance in the cases as a
juror. "Of course" explained Mr.. Leigh
ton, I'VE all know Mr.. Woodward too well
to question for a moment the honesty of
his motives or question his integrity. We
simply think that because of his we'll

Il do not think" remarked Judge Cox
that Mr.. Woodward has expressed any
opinion as to either the guilt or innocence
Of the accused
I'VE are rather victims, your honor" ex-
planned Mr.. Leighton, laughingly; I'VE are
certainly guilty Of nothing more than own

Mr.. Woodward is ruled out, then l. too
must go, for l was and am with him in his
advocacy of the highway act"
Duly Qualified
L think Mr.. Woodward duly qualified to

To the courts ruling Mr.. Leighton noted
an exception. and then, after the jurors
were sworn, the cases were postponed I'M

BLACK MANS WHITE WIFE
The Story Told Byl Wuman Who Wanted
Transportation.
JOurneying to North Carolina to Live
With Her Reoreaat Husbands
PeOple-Secuaes Aid.

Sanitary Officer Franz had a singular
case called to his atteation this morning
when request for transportation to Lenoir.
N. c., was made for Grace Collette and
her two children, one white and the other
mulatto. She reached here this morning
from Buffalo. N. Y, on her way to her
colored parents-in-law in the south, and
Sanitary Officer Frank sent her as far as
Greensboro. Mrs. Collette told the sad
story Of her life to Star reporter.
I'm full-blooded Welsh woman" she
said. land I have been in this country
twelve years. Now I am on my way to
my husbands parents, and although
have never seen them I know they are far
above my husband"
Mrs. Collette is a fairly good-looking wo-
man, apparently about twenty-eight years
old. She is intelligent and her manner
shows that she has travelled about the
world and has endured more reverses than
she has successes in life. Her two chill
dren were with her. the cofored child
girl, one year old, being carried In her
arms. while her son, white boy hve years
old, played about the room, wholly uncon-
seious of his unfortunate condition.
According to the woman's story, 1t was
not long before she reached here that she
was married, her husband being white
man. One child the boy mentioned. was
the result Of this union. Her first husband
Olo0, dIlu WHGl the CQlIu WAS QuAlS yooh6
she met Rutherford Collette coiored, who
was waiter in a Utica, N. Y, hotel. She
had no means of livelihood and she soon
became Collette's wife.
Treated Her We'll.
During the early days of their married
Life, she said, he was kind to her. but af-
ter their child was born there came
great change over him. They had moved
to Pittsburg in the meanwhile, and from
there they went to Buffalo. While in the
latter city, she said, her husband lost his
money at games of chance, and left her
and the children suffering for want of food.
The time came when she could endure his
treatment no longer and she applied to
the courts and had him arrested for nom
support. While under arrest. she says, his
counsel called upon her and told her of his
promises to do better, and she concluded
to make another effort to live peaceably
with him.
A Separation Necessary.
But she says he soon returned to his old
haunts and another separation was neces-
sary. He was then under bond in the sum
of $500, and when he left their home at No.
1OS Williams street she concluded that he
would never return. He came back, how
ever, and made an effort to steal the child
from her. Then she swore out another
warrant for him, and he suddenly diSap-
peared from the city.
Afterward she wrote to his parents in
North Carolina, and they seemed anxious
to have her come to them and bring the
child. Having no relatives in this country,
she concluded to go there, and she believes
she will find a good home with her hus-
bands people. She left with her children
ON the lib train for Greensboro.
