Atravon’s.—‘“Poor Jonathan,” Milloecker's latest opera, had its first representation in Washington last nigut at Albaugh's. A good- xized audience witnessed it and seemed to be delighted. It is said that the music grows on | one, but certainly a first hearing does not give | so favorable an impression as the tuneful “Beg- gar Student,” by the same author. The pie was well put upon the stage. ‘The compan; an excellent one—better, far better, than is usually heard in comic opera.

Messra Evans and Hoey seem to have discovered an clixir for this play, for it is as good as ever, if not better. The princi- pals seem to grow brighter in their roles. which they have very judiciously altered. Hoey is a greater favorite than ever, and Evan's Old Hoss is ahead of everything on the track. Clara Thropp is piquant and natural as Innocent Kid and her Spanish dancing was received with enthusiastic appreciation. An agreeable feature was the sweet voice of Miss Wyatt ax Lucille, ‘The specialty singing, idl costuming of the three handsome ters captivated the house.

CLEvELasp’s Mixstrets.-The Christmas | buying visibly affected the audience last night | at Music Hall to see Cleveland's magnificent minstrels, but the show was a one, never- theless, and thove who were e present enjoyed it with vociferous pleagnre. tage settings in the first part, called “The Castilian Palace,” were particularly fine m their velvetel ceand beauty and the costumes were in keeping. ‘the voices were in the main, “The Story of the Bells,” by Mr. Wm. Thompson, being es- pecially noticeable. Billy Rice and Willis Sweatman had it thelr own way and made a Jot of fun in combination and separately. Some of the jokes were fresh and new and some were not, as ix always the case in these cases. The Lohengrin Knights was an opulent display of manly beauty, richly caparisoned, and ‘the Royal Japanese Jugglers, &c., were a whole show in themselves and their work was done in the most artistic farhi Again tonight and matixees Wednesday, Christmas and Saturday.

The company played at the Bijou last year. Since that time ithas been materially strengthened. Several specialties are introduced during the perform- ance and they are first-class. ‘Shove well-known sparrers, Kelly and Murphy, gave a scientific exhibition of an assault ut arms, and Sherman and Morrisey contributed a roaring burlesque on the trapeze. The play is mounted in good style and the tunnel scene, with « train of cars passing in full view of the audience, is quite realistic.

Miller, who was recently commit- ted to St. Elizabeth's Hospital for the Insane, writes to Tar: Star that the publications con cerning his commitment have greatly misrep- rerented his case. “In the first place,” he says, “there is no |eense in comparing me with Guiteeu. I was | not an applicant for a government position, nor did I entertain a single hostile thought against the Prosident or any public officer. The state- ment that I was present at the depot when the President returned from his trip west last May is thoroughly falec. I was not near the depot. | So is the statement that I addrewed letters to [foreign potentatea. Not one letter to them has | ever been forwarded by me. These misstatements appear to have been gotten up out of whole cloth by an officer in order to influence public opinion and give color to his subsequent illegal arrest of a peace- able, law-nbiding citizen, and the taking him away from honest employment under the im- putation of insanity, when that citizen was | simply carrying out (as any other citizen had | the right todo) legal advice in regard to se- | curing protection against invasion of his lawful rights. That I was nota dangerous nan in any | sense of the: term the facts showed. I did not | own and never carried a dangerons weapon of | any kind, neither did I express an intention to | any one of a design against anybody's life. I | entertained no sach idea. The statement that | Iwas in the Government Hospital for the In- sane since my return to this District in the early part of December, 1888, is also untrue, as | the Otheers of that institution can tentify. “So far as having an insane delusion of any kind is concerned I’ am not aware of it, and it | is but simple justice to me that this explanation PI be made in order to correct the false impres- sions that have gone forth against me. —_— ANACOSTIA. ‘A RELIEF CORPS RECEPTION. John A. Logan Post, 13, G.A.R., was given a reception last night by John A. Logan Relief Corps at that body's new quarters in Masonic Temple.

She ran from the house, complained to the police, and Wil- liam was taken out of bed and carried to the station and locked up. ‘This morning when the case was calle in the Police Court Judge Miller directed « warrant tent to kill. His wife told her story of the affair and exhibited a terribly swolleneye which had been caused by # blow inflicted by her hus- band. Other witnesses who heard the shot fired were present. The officer produced the pistol and knife which he found in Pratt's overcoat pocket. When he placed Pratt under arrest the latter threatened to “fix” his wife for causing his arrest. Judge Miller committed Pratt to jail in de- grand jury. ——— Excursion. ro New York.—The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company will sell excursion tickets to New York at rate of $9.03 for all Royal Blue Line trains, December 24 to Janu- ary 1, inclusive. ‘Tickets valid returning until January 5, inclusive. c: epee ae “Queen Axxe” cologne at Mertz’s, 50c. * ea THE COURTS.
