It is from he pen of a}. Geo, T. Utmer, who himseif assumes the role of the hero, ‘and it must be admitted that how- ever much modesty may be found in him- self he has transmitted very little of it to his hero. Mr. Ulmer was evidently suffering from fan anustiat hoarseness lavt night, and this feet loft him at a disadvantage in the presentation of the leading part. In dialogne the piece hag some good ideas, but the style is not free, and sentiments which have for years Leen reliable standbys to the phywright passed almost un- noticed by the sulionoe for want of the proper epigrammatic touch. The play has the prime Tequisite of nuccess, however: its plot is interest- ing and is developed with ingenuity. Of the cast Miss Cora Van Tassel isa prominent figure, full of animation and evidently disposed to make the most of the opportunities which the soubrette part allotted to her presents. Mr. Gus Levick as Jack Chamurn gives a con- ientious presentation of the character of a Virgiria farmer. ‘The cast is large and con- tains a number of people who ate bettor than the average. The scenery used in the play is unusually good and the mechanfem, especially in the balloon scene, is very effective. Again | onight, 2 Natioxat Taraten.—Donnelly and Girard are thoroughly familiar to the play-going public of thie city and their skit, “Natural Gas,” hae been seen fiere for several years, Each season Lringa some new faces aud some new special- ties. The large audience at the National Thea- tor last night enjoyed the fun greatly and en- cores were frequent. May Howard, Kitty Kur- sale and Annie Mack Berlin divided the honors with the stare, and Mr. Segar Midgely made a great hit in “Papa's Boots” and the recitations that followed. Acapemy or Music.—Leander Richardson's play of “The Millionaire” has given Dan Sully 4n opportunity to do some excellent work and that opportunity Mr. Sully has improved. ‘The part of James Brien iy strongly drawn and effectively presented. It ina different type of Irishman from that usually seen upon the stage and showt the son of the Emerald Isle rounded out by a residence in this free coun- try, and what it is possible for industry, shrewdness and straightforward dealing jo accomplish. The dialogue of the whole play is well written, and teaches a good, wholesome lesson of the necessity of honor in’ business as Well as in the social relations of life. Mr. Sully surronnded himself with a good company, atl the parts are well sustained. In the second act the Rocky Gorge svene and building of the railrond are quite realistic, ax ix so well worked up that it arouse great enthusiasm in the audience, which ut the ademy of Music last night was quite demon- ative. Haunts’ Bisov.—It is doubtful if Bartley mpbell’s play, “Uke White Slave,” has over had stronger cast of characters than that which interpreted it last night at Harris’ Bijou Theater, ‘The audienee packed the bouse to the doors and was very enthusiastic. Curtain calls were numerous, the principals being called out after each act. Miss Julia Stuart as Lisa, the White Slave, proved herself an ex- tional xctress. Mis# Stuart was last >in Boucicault’s “The Jilt,” and her good work in that piay is repeated with greater force in “The White Slave.” Frark Karrington, as Cay Brition, in love with Lisa, wae strong in the roie of the outraged Kentuckian. J. Hay Cossar, as the villuin, Miit Barlow as the old arkey, and others were good and rounded out a cast that calls for much praise on account of even strength and power Agait: tonight. the ‘mili seen he Kensay’s Lycetat.—Of all Held by my,” which opened a week's engage- ment last night at Kernan's and received an enthusiastic reception froma large audience. ‘The company is a strong one in every respect. Miss Katherine Arnold as Rachel McCreery is an actress of ability. Lincoln Wagenhals as Col. Charles Prescott was also good, and J. J. Farrell gavo a life-like representation of the Ayeciat War Correspoutent. W. H. Turner as Uncle Kufus contributed a bit of excellent character acting. The other members of the company were good. Special mention should be nude of the scenery, which i# elaborate. ‘The ring of the ho#ses’ hoots ax they pulled up outside of division headquarters in the third net was so real that the audience expected every minute to scea horse gallop ou the stage.

What is called “light housekeeping” in one, two or more rooms, isa common and popular method of solving the problem of daily livi ‘This plan omits the laundry from the limited household—a thing easily done in acity where most of the house-working women prefer half adollar earned at home at their own convenience toa whole dollar earned in a service place where their timeis not their own. Light housekeep- ing, too, is supposed to exclude the cooking that requires much fire or diffuses offensively ite odors through the house—rccumulates garbage in objectionable quantity, and is at- tended with thg errands of grocers, milkmen, icemen, servarite, &o., in any appreciable quan- tity. In these days, where the art of earning food has been so successful, and witk a market so excellent and so willing to well in small quanti- tien as Washington markete are, it is quite pos- sible for one person to live comfortably and economiceily in one room by light housekeep- ing, and so fo manage it thot it hall not be an intolerable nuisance to those of whom they rent that one room. The tenants can so m: ge that the person who owns the house shall not do as one in this city once did, advertise rooms of Liv- for “any legitimate purpose under heaven x- copt light housekeeping!” ne lady that 1 knew resorting to light house- keeping after losing office told me that she lived as well as sho wished toon $7 month. Another said she was comfortable with 45. Of course these ladies had rare skill as cooks and could prepare food palatably and without Taste or they could never have accomplished ia. Light housekeeping is resorted to by many small families in order to be rid of the neces- sity of employing a servant,and where servants are dishonest it is a great gain to be able to do without them. The ringing of the door bell need not make the tenant in rooms frantic, ring theynever so loudly. The care of the pavement and a thousand other petty cases do not devolve upon them; in short,a housekceper can never know how many troubles she escapes until she has tried the independence she finds in being made comfortable in some other per- son It is a common saying that no house is large enongh for two families, but that this common saying is nota true saying many well-behaved and well-disposed persons in this city have proved. “I have always got along well im these Washington “boarding houses, for I havo always made up my mind to get everything I could for my money.” This Temark was uade by one woman to another, who replied: “I, too, have always got along very well in them, and I have done it by con- sidéring how I should like to be treated by them if I were in their place.” An amazed look of perplexity was the answer to this last yemark. Seldom does the Golden Rule need to come oftener into use than in the every-day life of rovin renting, boarding and light house- keeping that distinguishes this city, nor would it be beneath the dignity of both the prems and the pulpit to emphasize this fact. The breaking of verbal engagements in these matters emong psople who usually are supposed iy gener- ally aceepted now that no engagement is bind- ing that ie not accompanied by ® deposit offered and received. Experience has taught this to many who at first scorned the precau- tion. It seems gonerally understood in this com- munity that light housekeeping with other people's carpets and furniture is hardly fair, and unfurnished rooms are usually called for; yet hally and stairways must have extra use— the bath room must be used more or less as 8 kitchen—and with the best of intentions and care the front door bell must ring more for a housekeeping than for an ordinary lodger, so that every one should in justice expect to pay ice for such privilege. Where it happens, as I have known it to happen iu more than one instance, that members of the family rooming in other bousos were boarded by the one who had received in one the privilege of cooking, the case becomes serious. If, in ad- dition to this, the garbage is thrown into the water pipes and a plumber's bill is to pay, as is sometimes the case, no wonder that a positive veto is entered against light housekeeping by the indignant landlord or landlady. Stil! the fact. remains that this method of living can be so managed that com- fort can be secured at about half the expense of ordinary methods and no serious damage done to the houses and tempers of others. Inthe upper story of ahouse the odors of | cooking need not annoy. With care the water pipes need not be choked up. The grocer need | not ring beyond ordinary patience to bear and | one roof nay shelter eeveral families in peace und comfort. HCL ree To Set Aside an Assignment. Messrs. 4.S. Worthington, F: J.

Miss Grace Shannon, the parachute jumper, went up all right last evening at bethenda Park, but when she tried to cut the balloon loose from the parachute so as to descend, every- thing wouldn't work right and the balloon and parachute came down in one mass on the ground. She was not hart, however, and the undreds of spectators saw something that was not on the program. ‘There was a team stand- ing near at the time of the ascension, and as the balloon lifted iteelf from the ground the horses became frightened and bolted, and they did not stop until the vehicio to which they were attaciied was wrecked entirely. BIG FISHES CAUGHT. Mr. Jas. K. Probey on Sunday hauled up from the depths of the Potomac in the neighberhood of Harper's Ferry: a black bass weighing five Pounds and fifteen ounces. This said tobe next to the largest bass ever caught in that locality, the largest having been seven pounds. Yesterday near the foot of Potomac street » twenty-eight pound carp was caught by acol- cored man. ‘THE CATTLE MARKET.

They wore crossing the tiny stream that empties itself a short distance below in the Potomac when suddenly a great copperhead snake arose immediately in front of them and, poising him- self in the air, stubbornly impeded their prog- ress. For a moment the gentlemen were frightened and started to leave the ravine on a double quick, but a second thought told them to stay and destroy the reptile. “They did so after much difficulty and the body, measuring fifty-two inches, was brought to town. Those familiar with snakes state that this one was seventeen years oid. No one in the vicinity of Cabin John had ever seen one so loug and the dead serpent was the object on which many leveled their eyes. It will be placed in alcohol and preserved.

On Saturday night the new |room was well filled with large, small and middle-sized boys, and the most particular stu- dent did not complain of being disturbed.

Mr. Tommy O'Neil, the trackmaster of the Columbia Athletic Club, has just finished roll- | ing, scraping and otherwise putting in prime condition the track on Analostan Island, where the sports on the 26th will beheld. ‘Tommy,” as every one calls him, states that the Colum- Din's track ix now in au almost perfect condi- tion and never before could the members boast of such emoothness.

They are substan- tiated under the solemn obligations of an oath, and they may be further verified by an examination of the books of the office ‘and inspection of its press and delivery rooms on the part of any person having interest in the correctness of the exhibit. Few newspapers are willing to submit ‘to 60 trying an ordeal. But THE STAR does it cheerfully. It base nothing to con- ceal, and no motive for exagweration. The truth is good enough for it. FAIR DEALING is its business motto. As THE STAR in- sists on ite right to know how many pounds of ink it gete when it buys # barrel of that article,and how many pounds of paper it pays for in one of the immense rolls delivered at its press rooms, so it is willing that ite advertising patrons shall know exactly HOW MUCH and WHAT KIND of pubiicity they ere getting when | they put en announcement in its columns. It claims to be THE one Washington pe- per that is taken by the family, for the family, and read by the family, and es- pectally by all the people in the city who ‘want things and are abie to pay for them, end it is willing to have its claims sub- Jected to the most exhaustive and conclu- sive tests that can be devised. In other words, and in short, THE STAR COVERS: THE WHOLE FIELD. ITS FAMILY CIR- CULATION IN WASHINGTON IS THREB TIMES AS LARGE AS THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER, AND THE NUMBER OF ITS READERS IN THE CITY 15 FIVE TIMES GREATER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER.
