Beside Those of His Wife.

Funeral services over the remains of
the late Col. James G. Berret, former
Mayor of Washington, took place yester-
day morning at IL O'Clock at st.
Matthews Church, on Rhode Island Ave-
nue. northwest. Interment was made at
Congressional Cemetery beside the body
of Mrs. Berret
The popular esteem in which Colonel
Berret was held during his long residence
in the District was plainly demonstrated
at st. Matthews yesterday morning. The
church was crowded with those who had
come to pay their last tribute to one of
Washington's oldest and most distin-
guished citizens. Requiem mass was Gel
ebrated by the Rev. Charles NJ. Bart, OF
st. Matthew's Church. Prior to the SER
vices Father Bart conducted simple SER
vices at the Berret home on 1 Street
northwest
At the church the casket rested in the
centre aisle directly before the chancel
rail. Rows of lighted tapers were ar
ranged on either side. Within the sane
tuary Father Bart was assisted by the
following: The Rev John d. Whitney, of
Georgetown University: the Rev. Thomas
Lee and the Rev. James ID. Stirling. of
st. Matthew'S: the Rev. Henry Chappuis,
of the Catholic University; the Rev Jo-
seph Mackin, of st. Paurs: the Rev. J. W.
Downing. of st. Johns, Baltimore; the
Rev. Joseph Foley. of St Paul's Church,
and the Rev. ID. J. Stafford, of st. Pat
rick's.
At the conclusion of the mass Father
Bart spoke briefly, touching upon the life
and character of Colonel Berret, who
he said. was too well known to require a
eulogy. The casket was then borne from
the church. The following acted as pail
bearers: Arthur Pue German. Gen John
Moore, Rear, Admiral Franklin (retired),
Judge Hsilyer. Ex-Governor Carroll of
Maryland, John r. Mclean, Alexander
Porter Morse, and Alexander p. Gordon
Cumming. 4Vlri

BROOKFIELD.
IN MUSICAL CIRCLES.

In the Town hall, Brookfield Center, on August 2, Robert Bruce Pegram gave his second lecture on the History of Music" He spoke with interest of the music of the Hindoos, Greeks and Medieval church, with special empha- sis on the various notations employed. The next lecture on August 10, will consider the beginning of modern music as seen in the influence of Ara bia as we'll as in the beginning of opera. The concert which followed the lecture was given by Miss Purves, MT Woolsey and J. Edmund Skitf. The latter was an unexpected pleasure. He is an old pupil of MT rGreene, who being in the neighborhood, came over for the day, and kindly consented to sing, though totally unprepared therefor. His voice is full of sympathy and fresh- ness, but with not much reserve power. His solos were given with much artis- tic feeling, and promised we'll for the progress he will make in the four years which he expects to spend studying in Germany.
 Miss Puryes, of course, was most cor dially received. Her popularity is on a sure foundation and grows daily.
