That el h's plays, weil written, always draw audiences and ‘ind of these the are very se in gro best probably is vsnattle Lord Fauntleroy,” which in book form proved # great success and dramatized bas even done better. It was pre- sented at the National last night by the origi- nal New York company and, as elsew! }, WOR the audience, from garret to cellar. Russell did Fauntleroy last night and all the wo- men in the audience and nine-tenths of the men were in love with him right from the beginning. Wallie Eddinger’s Jick the, bootblack, divided the honors with the little lord and brought down the house witharush. Mr. Bassett’s Mr. Hobbs was better in action than in make-up. Miss Lytton’s Minna was done with excellent spirit. Mr. Frank Aikin'’s Kar! of was a fine example of ill-natured, spoiled nobility and Miss Lowell's Mrs. HKrrol was gentle and to the life. The cast generally was unusually good. Acsaucu’s—"Tuz Drum Masor.”—It was a great night at Albaugh’s last night and Mr. Albaugh and Mr. Aronson and Mr. Offenbach and “The Drum Major” and the Casino opera company have cause to be congratulated. The auditorium was filled, the boxes,draped in sev- jeral fings of the free, were occupied by the members of the cabinet, their tamilies and others, ima blaze of beauty. ‘The people on the stage were stimulated by the spirit of the occasion to put forth their best efforts. There were large bursts of applause and recails. Muss Pauline Hall received a large consignment of beautiful tlowers ail the way from Brooklyn, where admirers of hers reside. The orchestra and the chorus were the prominent features in the bill ang everything went off with a graceful mellitiuor 88 that was worth a great deal more than the price of admission. The opera is handsomely staged, the choruses are very strong and in ensemble effects “The Drum Major" is superior to what we usualiy find in | comic opera. The marching is also away up in G, so to speak. Mr. Powers was at home with his audience and in his toilet scene he struck a chord which found a response in every female heart in the audience. Georgie Dennin sparkled everywhere and Mr. Brand sang far better than his good looks presaged. because fine feathers don't always make tine birds. In fact, everybody did well, though nobody did anything that was phenomenally superior, It isn’t that kind of an opera, There are some handsome girls in the chorus and the costum- ing is pretty, particularly m the first act. It was not over until 11:30, at least balf an hour longer than it should have been. Last time tonight. Hannis’—“Passion’s Stave.”—The taste for melodrama can be gratified this week at Harris’, for there is tine production of “Pas- sion’s Slave” at this cosy resort, mounted in a realistic manner. This is the second time this play has been to Washington, yet it has lost noue of its popularity. The story is well told, the situations good and the company above the average. ‘he scenery is especially attractive, Old Point and the Chesapeake being so fariliar as to strike at once by their naturalness and by the skill of the painter. It is a play to hold the popular heart. Again tonight. Kennay’s—Inw1s Bros.’ Big Suow.—This well- known combination opened a return engage- ment at Kernan’s last night betore a crowded house.

Tue Sar reporter had an interesting talk with Mr. DeYoe in regard to the order in North America, He said “that in New York state, where the order was strongest, the membership were working arm in arm for the order's advancement, having instituted four tents since the last report.” He aise said that Georgia, Connecticut, Ohio and Maryland | tents are doing and that he had been asked | for information to how a tent could be or- | ganized in England. Mr. DeYoe will remain in the city until Friday morning, when he will leave for his home in Waterloo, N.Y., stopping by the way to visit tents.

A Venerablé Pauper Makes an Affecting Scene at she District Building. “Please, sir, can I get a permit for the poor house?” said # quavering voice'at the railing in Dr. Tindall's:reom this morning. The speaker was a gray-headed man upward of seventy-five years of age, He was accompanied by a friend about the same age, but apparently in better circumstances. ‘What is it you are after?” asked a Stam reporter, as the two stood silently together. “I am after a permit to go to the poor house,” réplied the old man. ‘Me and Bil! has been friends since boys and more like brothers than anything else. I struggled hard to keep out of the poor house, but luck is agin me and I will have to go, although it almost breaks my heart to leave Bill here. You see, Bill has a sort of cousin in town to look after him, but poor me”—and the old man’s voice faltered—“T ain't got no one to look out for my welfare. But it was not always like this,” said the old man, brushing away a tear. WOMAN AND WHISKY, “Iremember the time when I was happy and when loving children played around my knee; but that was before the war. They are all gone now, died before they were grown, and I guess it was better so, for my wite got tired of me and ran away with a soldier in 62 and left me sick with the smallpox. You sce my downfall is the same old story, told over and over again. Take my advice, young man, and don’t pin your faith to women. They are as false and as fickle as the weather—one mo- ment they are all sunshine and the next like a tornado, There is another thing almost as bad as a woman, and that is whisky. I was a temperance man until after my wife left me, and then I struck a snag, called whisky, which sent me down the hill at such a rapid gait that I did not stop until I had reached the bottom. You see what Iam—an ontcast, withouta home and without friends, save Bill here. Well, I must be off.” So taking the permit and folding it carefully he and Bill slowly descended the stairs. Outside the scene was affecting. The two old men—part- ners since children—were about to be separa- ted, and as they grasped each other's hands tears fell from their eyes. ‘Good-by, Tom,” said Bill, patting the old man on the back, “I will be over to see you as often as I kin, and one o’ these days may be my folks’ll die and leave me their money. You will be the first one, Tom, to know about it.” With feeble steps Tom moved away while Bill stood watching him until he disappeared around the corner. . OLD BILL'S LAMENT, Those who witnessed this strange parting wondered if the day would ever come when Bill and Tom would be united. As old Bill moved away Tue Star reporter accosted him. “So your partner has left you?” said the re- porter. “Yes; heis gone,” was the reply, ‘and U tell you, sir, I feel as though one-half of my heart had gone with dim. You see I have knowed Tom upward of sixty years and during that time we never had a falling out, Tom and me courted the same gal once, but Tom was handsomer than I was them days and was as fine a looking man as you ever sot eyes on. So he won her, Well, in course, I grieved at the time, but I didn’t blame Tom. He won her fair and square. I remained single and Iam blessed glad I did, cause women is frauds, But there, I suppose I am tiring you with the story of my life; it ain’t worth it; so, good by. God bless you. May you never live to see the day when vou and your be: nd has to part.” DISTRICT ERNMENT. EXTENSION OF PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. Capt. Rossell today forwarded to Col. Robert a plot showing the proposed line of Pennsyl- vania avenue extended, together with the dedi cation from the property owners of this line; also a branch avenue extending from Pennsyl- vania avenue extended to the Bowen road. This, he says. dedicates the whole linc, except a small portion going through propesty owned by Pierce and Green. As they are very small | holders and the amount taken from them is a} very large per centage he recommends that arrangements be made to condemn this prop- erty and that the Commissioners authorize the | preparation of suitable advertisements for | grading the avenue. THE DEFECTIVE ABUTMENT OF THE CHAIN DRIDGE. Some time ago Tae Star referred to a letter from Mr. J. E. Clement, the attorney for Alex- andria county, Va., in which he complained of the bad condition of the western abutment of the chain bridge that abuts against Alexan- dria county, Va., and asked that it be repaired, It will be remembered that Capt. Rossell rec- ommended that the paper be referred to the attorney for the District for information as to | the liability of the District for doing the work | in question. The attorney today in an in- dorsement upon the papers says that he has written to the attorney of the county asking him to state upon what grounds he claimed | that the District is under obligations to repair the bridge and as no reply has yet been re- ceived he knows of no grounds upon which it can be claimed and recommends that it be denied. TRE PETITION OF THOS. W. 8MITH AND OTHERS for the condemnation of an alle; square 897 has been referred to the attorney for the Dis- trict with the request that he search the rec- ords to see whether or no the signers are the actual owners of a majority of the area in the square.

William Chew, a young colored man who shot Tom Bowie, the former grave, , oD Christmas day two years ago served a Year's sentence in jail for it, is at present oocu- pying a cot in Freedman’s hospital. The cause of his being there is a stab wound in the left breast, evidently inflicted with a pointed knife. Chew, although not more than twenty years old, has, besides serving s year in jail for the shooting of Bowie, served several other sen- tences, CHEW'S INFATUATION, On Pierce street, which runs cast and west from North Capitol street to New Jersey avenue between L and M streets, there lives with her grandmother a colored girl named Diana Nel- son, who is only fifteen years old. Chew met her and made love to her, but his smiles were not returned by the maiden, who repelled ali his advances, ‘She didn’t want Chew to visit her and told him so. Her refusal to opt his company had no effect on the im; William and he persisted in his efforts to win her favor. He had evidently made up bis mind to have the girl or make trouble in the family. He failed in the first-named alternative, but ‘Was very successful in the latter. Chew, ac- cording to the statements of the girl’s re! A had made several attempts to criminally assault her and her cousin, James Hill, defended her. A FIGHT LAST NIGHT. Last night when the girl was on Fenton street, which is a narrow thoroughfare in the rear of K street northeast, Chew appeared. He was apparently intoxicated and renewed his attempts to assault the girl, it is a, whereupon Hill came to her rescue and a fight resulted. Exactly what happened is not known, asthe statements of the participants differ. Chew charges that Hill stabbed him, but the latter denies the accusation and says he knows nothing of the wound in Chew's chest. The fight occurred about 1i o'clock, but there was no outcry made nor did the police appear to arrest any one. CHEW FOUND WOUNDED. After the difficulty the men separated and an hour later the injured man was found in an most insensible condition on a vacant lot.a square or more from where the fight occurréd. He was discovered by several colored men Who habpened to be passing along North Capitol street and heard him groaning. The om of the second precinct were notified and the jn- jured man was removed to Freedman’s hi ital. The wound in his chest was over the eart and the blade of the weapon struck a rib which probably saved bis life. In-the injured man’s pocket was found an open knife. He could not or would not account for that fact. Heh ope is a serious one, but not necessarily fatal HILL SURRENDERS HIMSELF, This morning « party of colored men entered the sixth precinct station, One of them acted as spokesman and stated that James Hill ;was one of their party and he was in the station for the purpose of surrendering himself to the cus- tody of the police.
