His Protest to the Commissioners in Regard to the New Liquor License Law. ‘The Distric: Commissioners today received a petition from John M. Perreard. proprietor of the new hotel 506 and 508 14th street, protest- ig against the ruling that his applicaton for a bar license made prior to March 3 must be yenewed under the new law. He takes @e ground that his application, not having orca finally rejected, his status is the same as all the other applicants, whether such applica- | tions were granted or not. He claims that all Ticenses granted by the board of Commis- moners expired at the moment when it became functus officio. In conclusion, the petitioner prays that the excise board decide that he be granted his bar license as asked for, | and if this is denied, that he be made to make | a] m under the act of Congress ap- | proved March 3, 1893, then that such ruling be general ard to apply to all bar licenses granted Under the old law by the late board of Commis- sionera, a Mr. Baxte: Answer.

Tue Last Sywrxoxy Coxcent.—The last concert of the series by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which took piace at Metzerott Music | Hall last night, had the effect of crowding that hall to its utmost capacity with an audience as cultured and refined as ever watched the beat of Mr. _Nikisch’s baton. When Mr. Nikisch made bis appearance | Inst night to begin the Schumann Sym- phony he was warmly greeted and there was deep regret felt by all who hav witchery of his in- telligent reading and masterly direction that it was the last time he would be seen here. His loss from the Boston Orchestra will be deeply felt | ‘The work of the orchestra lastnight was fully up to the high standard that has made it the best band of musicians that this country bas known. It may be safely asserted that notwithstand- | ing the great popularity and excellence of the or- chestra the chief attraction at last night's con- cert was the great Polish pianist, Mr. Ignace Pad- | erewski. He created agreater amount of enthu- siasm than any soloperformer whoever appeared in Washington, and bis work fully justified it. He plaved with an expression that was convine- ing and a magnetiem that carried hix audience | with him at all times. Of his marvelous tech- nical mastery of the piano praise has been given heretofore. and now the one thing that was deemed lacking in his former appearances— the soul—appears to pervade his entire work.

It ix said that the play is ingeniously constructed | 9th | and fairly teems with bright and witty lines and funny situations, many of which are ex- | travagant but serve their langhter-provoking purposes well. Miss Inadore Rush and several other clever piavers of both sexes have conge- | nial roles in the new piece.
