FOUR YOUNG STARS That Are Reflecting Credit Upon the . Capital City. ALL FOOTLIGHT FAVORITES. & Bright Little Soubrette, Two Tragedians and a Unique Character Actor Who Belong to Washington, and W' Won Fame by Honest and Conscientious Work. OT MANY PEOPLE are aware of the exten- sive contribution that the city of Washington has made to the dra- matic and | operatic stago. Some who have high eminence and their reputation is so national that the fact that they were born here has escaped notice. Such is the case with Stuart Robson and “Billy” Emerson. The greatest living comedian now upon the stage, although not born here, passed his childhood | in this city and made his first attempts in his | profession under the tutelage of his father in Washington. “This, of course, is Joseph Jef- ferson. Not long ago a record was made of the number of actors and singers from this | city who had gone into the profession and it reached 165, and it is possible that some names had been overlooked even in this list. They have gone into every branch of the profession, as tragedians. comedians, character actors, as | minstrel men, as primma donnas, as comic opera favorites and even in the ranks of the va- oor people, and while of course the great ma- jority have failed to attain any high degree of eminence, all have reached a measure of suc- cess and no one can be called to mind whose setions or work has reflected discredit upon | the city of his or her nativity or adoption. | There are four of the younger generation who have reached the dignity ri stars and whose careers are watched grith interest by all lovers | of the drama. ‘MISS ANNIE LEWIS. community for many years.

This was also s value- ble experience to him, because it was e differ- ent line of characters entirely from that he had been accustomed to play with Miss Anderson. Mr. Downing then concluded that he had ac- quired sufficient experience and had become ufficiently well known throughout the country to justify him in ‘a venture on his own account. and he bad a pl written for him Joaquin Miller which he produced in city.

He is naturally proud of the extensive praise that has been showered upon him for his work, a ihe Texan member of Congress and his friends feel a interest in the success he has made. He will probably play Maverick Brander s0 long as the public want it, and there seems to be no Inck of desire to witness this unique personation. Mr. Murphy is now taking vacation in this city with his father and resting from his labors on the stage. He says that his next part will be the Man in Missouri, which Mr. Hoyt is now at work upon. He has no intention of yet venturing upon starring tour on his own account, but is content for the t to win fame and money as pe LT CINCINNATI STRUCK BY A GALE. Many Houses Unroofed and Other Damage Done by Wind. At 3:0 o'clock yesterday afternoon a wind which registered forty-two miles an hour by the United States signal service instruments struck Cincinnati. Tt came from the west and was accompanied by rain, which fell to the depth of two-fifths of an inch during the time the storm lasted, Which was not over fifteen minutes. The full extent of the damage done cannot be learned at this hour. It was no tornado. It blew straight from west to east and kept up, steadily during a quarter of an hour, carrying ‘the rain along in horizontal sheets, peeling the tin roofs of in- numerable buildings, carrying off the roofs bodily from many houses and playing havoc 'wO | generally with shade trees, signs, fences and plate glass windows. The works for the show called “A Night in Pekin,” on the old base bull ds, on Harrison avenue, were completely Kemoliahied, The fence of the Cincinnad, Dass ball grounds was blown down and part of it was | Sen hurled against a passing streot car, injuring several more oF less pete William E. Ward, er., proprietor of the archi- tectural iron works, at 495 Central avenue, was standing at the sidewalk when the roof of his factory was blown off. Bricks detached from the building were hurled to the sidewalk. One struck Mr. Ward on the head, fracturing his skal. It is feared his injuries are fatal. Hatf a dozen other houses on Central avenue in the same vicinity were unroofed. On Walnut street near 12th street the roof of Myers’ Veterinary Hospital was torn off and hurled bodily a Brewing Company, on Canal street near Wal- Mr. Gladstone Will Form «= Ministry of Old and Tried Men. An Associated Press copyright dispatch from London says: Mr. Gladstone will return to London at the end of next week. He has accepted an invite- tion to temporarily reside at the house of Mr. gomeryshire, at Carlton Gardens, prior to re- suming his official residence in Downing street. His first conference on the formation of the new ministry occurred at Dalmeny Park, the | residenee of Lord Rosebery. Before he started for Braemer he summoned Mr. John Morley to | meet Lord Rosebery and the Right Hon. Sir George 0. Trevelyan. As far as can be ascer- tained in official liberal quarters here the de- liberation at Dalmeny Park proceeded on the understandings set forth in this letter last week; that is to eay, Sir William Vernon Har- court will be first lord of the treasury and gov- ernment leader in the house of commons under Mr. Gladstone's direction, and that Henry Fowler will be chancellor of the exchequer. Mr. John Morley does not desire to be chief sec’ for Ireland. He wants the secretary- ship of the colonial office, but. influential pros- sure has been brought to bear on Mr. Gind- stone to appoint Mr. James Bryce colonial sec- retary, ashe is in. closer touch with colonial questions than Mr, Morley. FORECASTS OF THE MIXISTRY. The best informed Hberal forecasts of the ministry assign Lord Herschell to the lord chancellorship, Earl Spencer to the viceoryship of Ireland, the Right Hon. Geo. Shaw-Lefevre to the chief secretaryship of Ireland, the Right Hon. George 0. irevelyan to the secretaryship of the home office, the Right Hon. Henry Campbell-Bannock to the secretaryship of state for war, Lord Ripon to the first lordship of tho admiralty, Mr. John Morley to the secretary- ship for India, Mr, James Bryce to the secre- taryship of the colonies, Lord Rosebery to the secretaryship of the foreign office, the Earl of Kimberly to the presidency of the council and the Right Hon. A. J. Mundella to the presi- dency of the board of trade, while Mr. stone will take the sinecure ‘of the chancellor- ship of the Duchy of Lancaster. ‘These consti- tute the cabinet. The leading poste outside the cabinet are assigned as follows: Mr. Francis M. Channing as president of the board of agricul- ture, Mr. Sydney C. Buxton as president of the local government board, Mr. Henry Labouchere as postmaster general, ‘Mr. William A. Hunter as secretary for Scotland, Sir Charles Russell a3 attorney general and Mr. Rigby as solicitor eral. When Sir Charles Russell's @rly. elevation to the bench occurs he will be succeeded in the attorney generalship by Mr. Rigby, and Mr. Harbect . Aisquith will become solicitor gen- eral. The radical press puts forward Messrs. Benn, Stuart and Canston, three favorites with the London progress as entitled to office. Other aspirants are Mr. Dyke Acland and Sir Walter Foster and Mr. Burt, who, probably as the best representative of the liberal laborist will fill the place of Mr. Broadhurst, the under secretary in the home office in the last Glad- stone ministry.

He played several seasons with Tom Keene, gradually receiving better parts, until he attracted the at- tention of Mr. Lawrence Barrett, by whom he was engaged and with whom he was associated At the dramatic festival Lia yed the part of Aegeon in ”” so excellently as to attract a good deal of attention, and this led to his en- gagement by Messrs, Robson & Crane when they produced that comedy and made such a wonderful success themselves as the two Dro- mios. When Mr. Barrett and Booth became as- sociated together Mr. Hanford was a member of their supporting company and played all of the juvenile parts and some of the ing characters. It was while with them that he made euch a signal success in the part of Marc Antony, in which he proposes to make his first starring venture next season. To secure recog- nition in this part while two such eminent actors as Edwin th and Lawrence Barrett were playing Brutus and Cé is an evidence of ability of the hig! Mr. friends feel no doubt that he will succeed in his starring enterprise. Mr. Hanford subsequently became associated with Miss Julia Marlowe and:his work last winter as Ingomar and Maivotio is extremely pleasantly remembered.

Hence the party managers favor postponing the | home rule bill for a year and proceeding with the ‘‘one-man-pne-vote” bill and also with fur- ther democratizing of the rural vote by parish councils and compulsory allotments measures. Herbert Gladstone, speaking at Hawarden, | declared that the home rale bill must first be passed, and added that as the temperance ques- tion had cost the liberals many votes a bill giving the people adirect veto would come next. Herbert Gladstone is not always a faith- ful reflex of his fatber's plans; still, if Mr. | Gladstone gets assurance of financial arrange- ments sufficient for an early renewal of the election struggle the home rule Dill will be in- troduced without delay. The new house will have 167 members | pledged to direct veto and Sunday closing—the Strongest temperance party parliament has | ever seen. Mr, Woods, member for the Ince Division of Lancashire, Joins the independent liberals. Mr. Hardie, in an interview today, defined the laborists as socialists in economics and democrats in politics, and in no wise cou- nected with liberals or tories.

Mr. Montagu is a brother-in-law of Mr. Cohen and Mr. Leon's wife is a cousin of the others, THE PITTSBURG LABOR TROUBLES. The labor struggle in Pittsburg is watched with excited interest here—especially among the working classes. The Ardent sympathies of the trade unionists are with the strikers. Last even- ing’s meeting of the London trades’ council voted urgency for a resolution, which was unanimously ‘passed, protesting ‘against Mr: Carnegie's employing “a gang armed bullies to coerce men struggling against @ reduction of wages,” and satisfaction was ex- essed that the men had been able to defeat the tactics of their employers. ‘One prominent member s ed that if Mr. Carnegie was stilla member of the National Liberal Club he ought to be immediately kicked out. The leading workmen's organization de- paypood the action of the Aberdeen c ion conferring the freedom of the city upon Mr. Carnegie and expressed regret that American capitalists have power “to use agang of ruffians to shoot down workmen.” ‘Mr. Cluseret, # prominent French labor rep- resentative, in an interview with an Associated Press correspondent in Paris said: ‘The sym- pathy of the entire labor party here is with tho lomestend strikers. We rejoiced to hear the news of the strikers defending themselves. The virtuous north seems to have become like the tyrannous south. The slaves of yesterday were black—today’s slaves are white. Who will be the new Lincoln to abolish white slav. For the socialists Jules Guesde said: ‘‘All this strug- gle is lost labor. When the labor party obtains olitical supremacy and places the government its most faithful men we will not like that at Homestead.” cee jo Trolley for New York. From the New York Herald.
