Acpavon’s Orrra Hovse.—The summer 0} Season was opened most auspiciously at Al- baugh’s last night. The audience was of good size andenthusiastic, and the performance fully justified the liberal applaase it received. While “Ruddygore” is not the best of the productions of Mesers. Gilbert and Sullivan, it has many pleasing melodies, and has met with more gen- eral favor than any opera since the “Mikado.” The comp: is an exceptionally good one. and the leading singers at once found favor with the audience. iss Helen Lamont shows re- markable improvement in her acting, while her voice is still sweet and sympathetic, fully meeting all the requirements of the part of Rose May Bud. Her graces of n add to the attractiveness of her stage work, and her many friends gladly welcome her now at the head of her own company, and recognize that her present position in her profession has been reached by faithful and honest work. Misses Alice Carle and Mabelle Barker were excellent in their respective parts, as were Sig. Brocalini and Mr. Broderick. Mr. Traverner’s voice is not as fresh and smooth as might be wished, but he is careful and painstaking in his work. Louis de Lange caught the audience, but his tendency to overact has not diminished. The chorus is large, well trained, and effective, and the orchestra is capabie and efficient. “Ruddy- gore” will be repeated to-night and to-morrow night, and then “The Yeoman of the Guard” will be put on. New Narionat Tararer.—Mr. Roland Reed was well received at the National last night and his play, the “Woman Hi “seemed to de- light a large audience. This piece was written for the late John T. Raymond, but Mr. Reed seems to have caught the spirit of it, and he has altered it so as to give an opportunity for the introduction of several songs and to adapt the leading part to his own peculiar abilities, He is fairly supported, and included in the company is a Washington girl, Miss Annie Lewis, who has developed into a ght, lively, and accomplished soubrette. She had many friends in the audience last night, who greeted her warmly and sent her many floral tributes. Miss Mattie Earle and Miss Minnie Monk de- serve mention, and, in fact, the entire com- pany did good work. “The Woman Hater” will be repeated during the week, except Sat- urday night, when “Cheek” will be presented on the occasion of a benefit to Miss Annie Lewis. Harris’ Buov Tueater.—Mr. E. F. Mayo played “Davy Crockett” last night to an audi- ence which fally tested the capacity of the Bijou theater. Mr. Mayo is now as thoroughly iden- titied with the honest backwoodsman as was his father, and his ——— is delightful in its naturalness and freedom from straining for stage effect. His company is a good one, and particular mention may be made of the work of Miss Kathryn Prosser, who is well known in this city as Miss Kitty Johuston. Keryan’s Turaten. — “The —_— Owls” roved their popularity in this city last night ry attracting a very large audience to Kernan's theater. All the specialties are exceilent, though the most remarkable act is that of the Eddys.

Foreraven’s Crrcvs.—Forepaugh’s grand circus and menagerie will arrive in Washington to-morrow, and remain here for two days, giv- ing two performances each day at Capitol park. | A unique and novel feature of the performance will be the trained horse “Blondin,” which will walk a tightrope, a feat never before at- tempted. Another horse. “Eclipse,” will per- form on the trapeze, and the work of this in- telligent animal has excited the wonder of all who have witnessed it. The ring will be ocen- pied by over one hundred gymnasts, acrobats, ridersand clowns. The display of horses will be finer and larger than ever before witnessed. There will be a troupe of performing elephants, imeluding the baby exes “John L. Sullivan,” and there will be chariot races and equestrian exercises of the most daring character. In ad- dition there will be a wild west show which will introduce genuine Indians from the prairies, cowboys aud frontiersmen, who will give faith- ful representation of life on the confines of civilization with its perils from Indian inva- sion. The menagerie is larger and more com- piete than ever before presénted under canvas, embracing many rare animals now for the first time in captivity. ‘There will be a grand street parade to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock, when all the performers will appear ina great pageant, exceeding in brilliancy any similar parade, Seats may be secured in advance at Droop’s music store for either of the performances.

The only man so equipped here at present and free to accept a professor's chair is Mgr. Corcoran, of Philadelphia, and he was one of the very first that we asked to join the faculty. After mature deliberation he on account of his age and indifferent health, While we have thus been obliged to draw from abroad, it is the earnest desire of the bishops, as well as of the pope himself, that we should make use of American brains entirely as soon as possible. “It is no disparagement to American Catho- lies to say they are not yet ready to take up university teaching, since it is an entirely new thing here, and they could therefore have no oe init.

Dr. Sebastian Mess- mer, at present professor of moral theology and liturgy at the Diocesan seminary at Seton Hall college, N. J.

An organization of the farmers and others living along the road from Lanham’s station to Bladensburg is being effected for the purpose of making the rouda pike.

John Smart imagines himself to be the smartest man in the world, but was not smart enough to keep himself out of the hands of the police, and he is now being cared for by | Sanitary Officer Frank, Smart is a citizen of Ohio and his home is near Bellaire. He arrived in Washington last Thursday and registered at the St. Charles hotel. He imagines that he is filled with Divine power, which he cannot use | until he is sworn in by the Chief Justice. Shortly after his arrival here he called at the residence of Chief Justice Fuller, but that offi- cial was not at home. Sunday afternoon Smart ited the sixth precinct station and told Lieut. Kelly of his greatness, but that officer | pe little attention to him, regarding him asa | harmless crank, Subsequently information | was received concerning Smart. and it was thought best to instruct the police to arrest him, and also to uotify the Chicf Justice in the meantime to look out for him, IN cUsToDY, This morning Policeman Kimmel arrested Smart on Pennsylvania avenue. When taken to police headquarters he was told that he was under arrest. “What?” he asked; “I’m not crazy.” He referred the officers to B. F. Stearns, who, he said, is Gov, Foraker’s brother-in-law, Stearns, he said, understood his case, and would see him through allright. He told the ofiicers that he saw Gov. Foraker before he left home and explained to him his mission to Washington, Dr. Poole, of the health department, was sent for to examine the man as to his sanity, When questioned Smart told him that he was the “old man of the navy.” For thirty-six years, he szid, he had been’ striving hard to accomplish his work: and all he wanted now was to be sworn in, which could only be done by the Chief Justice. “It's all free masonry,” psaid, “EZ will not be known, but when my pmmands are given they will always be be; I don’t want other countries to learn I am doing, because when Iam com- missioned I will be able to WHIP ANY COUNTRY ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.” Smart told the policeman that he had the power of the spirits of all the soldiers who were killed during the war, and also the spirits of a young lady who was drowned and a yonng man who was killed on a railroad. These spirits, he says, he keeps close to him and will never use unless in case of emergency, He also has the power of the emperor of Germany, which he will not use unless this country goes to war with Germany. In time of peace he says he is the same as any other citizen. as i Cuorce Roses axp Praxts at AvcTiox.— Thomas Dowling will sell to-morrow at 11 o'clock, at his auction rooms, a choice collec- tion of roses and other plants, - geedecors scemeasell Avetto: on Thu: Sate or Suors at Duncanson Bros.’ day at10 a.m, See Auction Sales. * Do Nor Nestxcr, ‘That tired feeling, impure blood, distress after esting. pains in the buck, headache, or stmilar affections till some powerful disease obtains a firm foothold, and re- covery is difficult, perhaps impossil Take Hood's Sarsaparitia, the defender of hesith, in time to banish all bad feelings and restore you to perfect condition, Hood's Sursaparilla has peculiar curative powers, and accomplishes cures where other preparations fail, THAT TIRED FEELING. “During the summer I was feeling all ran down, and thinking Ineeded something to tone up my system, took Hood's Sarsaparilla, aud felt. much betver.
