HIDES AND HORNS.

Stockman: Charles Lefevre, the Denver cattle buyer, made ship ment of fine alfalfa fat cattle this week.
 Democrat: R. D. Green, cattle man of Apache county, met with a very painful accident while brand ing calves. His horse fell and Mir. Greens collar bone was broken.
 Graham Bulletins w. P. Birch field, of Pima, has been visitor in Solomonville this week. Birch" recently disposed of his cattle near Pima to Messrs. Webb and Mar shall.
 Stockman: A. G. Farr, of Albu- querque, who makes regular trips to this valley for fat cattle, is here again this week, and when he re- turns will probably take several carloads of fine beef with him.
 Morenci Standard: At the re- quest of the cattlemen of North Graham county, Superintendent Shumann, of the A. X N. M. Rail- road, will erect stock pens for the shipment of the fall delivery of cattle from this section.
 Gazette: A carload of fine beef cattle were shipped from here to Douglas last night by J. H. Fisher, who is interested in large butcher business at that place. Mir Fisher says the supply of beef cattle in his vicinity is getting very short, but that this is the first time he has had to buy from outside points.
 Kingman Miner: Moses Levy went up to Blackberry Wednesday last, to look after the shipment of large number of cattle from his ranch on the lower Sandy. The cattlemen of the Blackberry coun- try yesterday shipped trainload of cattle to California. They have been gathering for some time.
 Stockman: A. c. Mcqueen, live stock agent for the s. F. P. & P. Railroad, is authority for the state ment that the beef cattle supply in the valley is now the shortest it has been in good many years. Scarcity of water has made feed scarce, and consequently not a great many cattle are on the pas lures.
 Citizen: Twenty-eight cars of cattle were unloaded in the yards yesterday. The shipment was gathered by Frank Treat for a MT. Fuller, of Los Angeles. Twenty five cars pere picked up at Globe, six at Dragoon and four at Pan- tano. After feeding, the cattle were reloaded and sent on their way to the coast.
 Stockman: There are quite q number of farmers in this valley and other portions of Arizona en- gagged in raising pure bred stock Herefords, Galloways, Polled Angus and other beef breeds. The cattle men of the territory should, when purchasing this class of stock, make an effort to buy from the home breeders, and thereby encourage them in their laudable efforts. There is no question but that the range stock of Arizona could be greatly improved by the introduce ton of pure breeds.

years, and who has been the chief factor
In the movement for the construction OF

First Church; Rev. E. Hez Sven. pastor
of the Second Church; Rev. c. C. Meador,
pastor of the Fifth Church, and Mr.
Charles Werner, chairman of the building

The E street church is an outgrowth of
the Second Church and is itself the parent

dress on the qualification with which
Washington Baptists would view the con-
struction Of a new temple Of their faith.
The corner stone contained a history of
the church, several newspapers, a list of
the officers Of the church and of the build

AnacOstia River.
An adjourned meeting Of the South Capt.
tol Bridge Association was held yesterday
afternoon Major Biddle, the District En-
gineer Commissioner, who was present In
discussing the project, spoke of the urgent
need Of direct communication on prac-
tically level road to the new municipal
almshouse site on Oxon creek, and declared
that doubtless his colleagues would recon-
mend favorable action by Congress upon
bill asking for an appropriation Of $15.-
900 for the re-eXamination of Major Davis
soundings and for a modern plan for the
bridge on the Milan system, as well as for
prizes to bridge architects and engineers
for designs and estimates, as was done in
the memorial bridge case.
DR.. Richardson, superintendent OF the
Government Hospital for the Insane, stated
that the management of that institution
would assist in every way to obtain the
building of the bridge, because it was most
desirable to st. Elizabeth to reach the capi-
tai city and return by route devoid Of
steep grades and shorter by some miles
than by way of Nichols avenue and Ana
costa bridge,

The home Of Mr.. Ernest L. Schmidt. No.
1450 Meridian avenue northwest, was badly
damaged by fire about o'clock yesterday

BURNS BIRTHDAY.
The Celebration to Take Place Here
Tomorrow.

i
Tomorrow.
Preparations for the celebration of Burns
birthday at the First Presbyterian Church
tomorrow evening are well IN hand, and
it is expected that the affair will prove an
extremely interesting one. Besides ad-
dresses by Speaker Henderson and other
members of Congress, there will be a num-
Der of musical selections by wal-known
singers who will render a number Of Burns
poems which have been set to music. This
method Of celebrating the great Scotch
poets birthday is a new one, as hitherto
the celebrations have taken the form Of a
dinner which could only be attended by
members of the Burns Society and a COM
paratively few invited guests. The new
Burns Society in this city does not intend
to restrict the opportunity Of expressing
the admiration for the poet of Scotland to
the masculine portion of the community, or
even to the actual members of the society.
The desire is to provide broad celebration
in which all who desire can take part. The
new Burns Society also proposes to go fur
ther than merely celebrating the poet s
birthday once a year. Permission has been
secured from the officials Of the new Pub
lie Library to have an alcove in the new
building where the society will maintain q
collection of literature relating to Burns.
A good many rare books will undoubtedly
find their way to this alcove, especially
from the collection of DR.. William r.
Smith. In this connection 1t is recalled that
the Burns Club Of Washington in 1876 pub
lished little book which Is now becoming
extremely rare, and which it is probable
the new club will take steps to reprint
This book contained speech Of John Will
son, delivered to 10000 people crowded on
the banks Of the Doom on the return of
Burns son from India in 1874: the great
oration Of DR.. Wallace, delivered in Edin-
burgh on Burns birthday in 1872, together
with the speeches delivered and letters read
before the club on various anniversary oc-
casions by the following statesmen and ora
tors: Gen. James A. Garfield, James 6.
Blaine, Prof: James Monroe, Sunset Cox,
Senator William P. Frye, j. Proctor Knott

been decided upon as the place for the next

German Singing Societies' Tribute to

German Singing Societfes' Tribute tn
Prince Henry.
At special meeting of the German Cen
trail Verein. held in Bessler's hall, 922 Penn
sylvania avenue northwest, last evening. It
was decided that an effort shall be made to
have all the German singing societies of
the city serenade Prince Henry on his visit
to Washington. The date for the serenade
was not definitely decided upon, although
1t is probable that 1t will be held on the
evening Of the official dinner at the lesa-
tion. Another meeting will be held next
week at the Saengerbund hall, to which
representatives OF all German socities of
the city will be invited. An interesting
point brought out at last nights meeting
was that the societies will not serenade the
prince as Germans, but as American citi-
zens, having in view the fostering of rood
feeling between the two nations.
