Last night during the performance of comrades” at the Opera House two young men, ramed Thomas Traver and Harrie Downs, became very disorderiy and disturbed almost the entire audience by their loud talking, ete.. Officer Ferguson went to them and requested them to be quiet, which they refused to do, and he placed them under arrest and took them to the station house, where they became very disorderly, refusing to be locked up, and when Lieut. Smith told Station Keeper James Smith to lock them up, they showed signs of fight, and succeeded in striking all three of the officers before they succeeded in getting them into the cell, This morn- ing Mayor Thompson fined them § each.

Cornwall, a switchman in the Souibern railway yard, came very near being killed yesterday by being struck by the yard engine. Mr. Cornwall attempted to cross the track, and, not noticing the shifting engine urtil too late to get out of the way, was struck by it and knocked some distance, and when picked up by the train crew he was bleeding profusely from a cut on the head and was suffering great pain from bruises on the side and back. He s taken to his home on Upper King where Dr. O'Brien, the company’s rendered the necessary surgical cc. While his injuries are painful, y are not necessarily serious. Notes.

Never in the history of dramatics in Washington has a comedy been able to play two weeks without a change of bill, but Managers Palmer's and Albaugh’s foresight in booking Paul M. Pot- ter’s dramatization of Du Maurier’s Trilby shows that even Washington theater goers will turn out for a good play and so excellent a company as this one. Mr. Wilton Lack- aye is one of the best character actors and an artist of remarkable power. His Sven- gali will long be remembefed as a creation in stage craft. Miss Blanche Walsh makes an ideal Trilby, is handsome, and a good actress, and a great favorite here. John Glendenning, Burr McIntosh, Madam Cot- trelli, Aifred Hickman, Ignatio Magnetti, Miss Rosa Rand, Miss Hattie Williams and the balance of the company have made distinct hits in their respective roles. A Christmas matinee is announced and the usual Saturday. The advice is given to all to secure their seats in advance. Allen's Grand Opera House.—The man- agement of the Grand Opera House has se- cured for appearance here one of the fore- most attractions in this country, the Gar- rick Burlesque Company, which’ will com- menee an engagement of one week next Monday. This organization is composed of the foremost artists in the field of opera and burlesque. Several of its mem- bers, notably, Elvia Crox Seabrooke, Carrie Perkins, Jennie Reynolds, Gertrude Mur- ray, Margaret MacDonald, Willis P. Sweat- nam, Mark Murphy, Sol. Aiken and Louis Wesley, have individually headed their own companies. Mrp Mansfield presented “Thril- by” with a wealth of scenery and embellish- ments, with costumes which would hardly be possible to duplicate. The production in this elty will be precisely the same as that in New York. “Thrilby” is an elaborate and complete burlesque on Mr. Du Maurier's beautiful and touching story, ‘Trilby.” It possesses refinement which has not been equaled since the dramatists used Longfel- low’s poem, “Evangeline.” It is in two acts and comprises the principal scenes which are weed in Mr. Potter's play, as well as tho: mentioned in Du Mavrier’s novel. “Thrilby {s assured of a hearty welcome here, as the reports which have preceded it have made theater-goers anxious to see what it terms an ideal burlesque. The company includes filty people, and the entire production is carried by the organization. New National Theater.—“Charley’s Aunt” will again be seen next week. Academy of Music. Modern Mephisto’ rext week. Kernan'’s Lyceum Theater._Sam Devere, one of the most popular and best-known entertainers on the vaudeville stage, will be seen at Kernan’s Lyceum next week at the head of his own company. The in- imitable Sam always has an abundance of up-to-date witticisms and parodies, which he delivers with that facility acquired only by the true artist. His aggregation of talent comprises European and American stars, all of whom ne has individually selected for theireminence in their respective lines. Among the names appearing on the pro- gram, besides that of Sam Devere,are Omene, the “Turkish dancer; Ward and Curran, the eccentric comedy pair; Flynn and Walk- er, America’s representative sketch artists, in_their own original conception entitled “Her Other Husband;” Lillie Western, the greatest of all instrumentalists; the Dono- vans, the Irish crystals, originators of the “dog story;” Conwell and Swan, premier wing and buck dancers of the world; Rich- ards, the wonderful double voice vocalist duplex; Price and Steele, the up-to-date comedy duo, and the Great Rikart, humorist end mimic. The performance will conclude with a roaring farce, by Sam Devere, en- titled “Two Old Pards.” During the engage- ment there will be matinees every day. German Opera.—A short season of four per- formances of Wagner opera, in German, is to be given at Alien's Grand Opera House rext month by the Damrosch Opera Com- pany, under the direction of Mr. Walter Damrosch. This magnificent organization, which had such wonderful success last se son in New: York, Philadelphia, Boston, Ch cago and several other cities, is now making a tour of the west and south, where it is drawing crowded houses and having the most enthusiastic receptions. With possi- bly a single exception, it is the largest and most complete organization touring the country today, including, as it does, the greatest Wasnerian singers of Europe, head- ed by Frau Klafsky, whose success this year has been nothing short of phenomenal; the grand New York Symphony Orchestra, seventy-five musicians; a selected chorus of seventy-five voices—in all, 170 people; magnificent scenery and stage settings, and handsome costumes. A subscription | sale for the four performances (Tannhauser, Die Walkure, Siegfried and Die Meistersinger) will soon be opened. For this sale, whieh will positively be by mail only, a reductic will be made, and a special rate given of $ and $14 for seats in the orchestra and or- chestra circle, and $125 and $175 for boxes (for the four performances). These ordei will be filled in the order of receipt—p: no speculation allowed nor favorit- mm shown, and not over ten seats given on any one order. This plan has been succes: fully followed both seasons in New York, Fioston and Chicago, and subscribers will be notified by mail when to call for seats. Columbia Musical Parlors.—The coming cf Palmer “Trilby” to town has again ukened the interest so greatly manifes' upon the publication of Du Maurier’s This week has heen decid- week. Hundreds of people —Helene Mora in “A will be the attraction ea popular novel. edly a “Trilby isited the graphophone parlors to hear the ‘Ben Bo! the cele- and the comical song, ”’ These re great “Trilby” song, brated “Like Trilby “Since Trilby Came to Tow ords, with a new one of the 'y series, entitled “Casey Taking the Census," and “The California Dance,” as rendered by Cullen and Collins on the banjo, will make up the drawing cards for next week. The improvements are now entirely completed, and the handsome parlors are brighter and more beautiful than ever with the large plate glass front, the largest along the avenue. The Vassar Girls—The Vassar College students have changed the play which they will produce at Metzerott Hall next month from “The Squirrel Inn” to “The Ru n Honeymoon.” Rev. Dr. D. J. Stafford, assistant pastor of St. Patrick’s Church, wiil start on a lecture tour early in January. Miss Ellen Vockey has been meeting with cided suceers in a dramatic recital in fr. John P. Cium, whose illustrated sto- ries of American scenes and incidents were so favorably received by Washington au- diences last season, has gone to Florida for the purpose of securing some new material in his engagements this winter. His ll include the principal features of hoth the east and west coasts, as well as interior point: Miss Annie Lewis is recovering her health down in Georgi SS | low at this “I am neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I predict that a shot fired in anger between the United States and Great Britain will sound the death knell of the British empire.” These were the words of Admiral Meade at Metzerott Hall last evening, on the oc- casion of his lecture on “The Caribbean Sea, or the Mediterranean of the New World.” ‘This sentiment was greeted by the large audience present with vociferous applause, and there were cries of “That's right” throughout the audience, which fill- ed the house. Every patriotic utierance of Admiral Meade during his lecture was greeted with the same enthus‘asm. Admiral Meade onened his lecture by a description of the conditions met by a mariner in the Caribbean sea. He fre- quent referred to the possessions of Great Britain in that vicinity, and speak- ing of the Nicaragua cana! sa'd that un- less this Yankee ration is very much alive to the situation the English will own the canal after it is built; and he believed it was only a question of time until it should be constructed. Speaking of the Venezue- lan boundary question, Admiral Meade produced from his pocket a map, which he stated had been presented to him many ears ago and was.made by a competent veyor in 182 The line of Venezuela shown on that map,” he said, “is the: line of the E quito, But that Ine, like Horace Greeley’s young man, has kept~moving west until now it includes three degrees it did not includs origirally.”” Admiral Meade desnaired of ever using any argument with-ngland to prevent her forcible acquisition of territor: ‘Except the argument we used: from 1775 to 1782 and frum 1812 to 18152" He was glad the United States had taken so firm a stand on the Monroe doctrine. and he had no fear that it would be unable to maintain it. He thought that British domination of the seas and of commerce would die when Great Britain entered upon a war with a great power. “If there is any spare territory on this continent,” said the admiral, “the Unitgd States ought to have it. The lecture was fully illustrated by ‘eopticon. All the principal ports of the Caribbean sea were shown, atiention be- ing called especially to those under the control of the British. He gave the British credit for giving to the islands a just gov- ernment. The lecture was concluded with llustrations of the battles of Concord and Lexington, reminding the audience how this country had gained its independence, which the lecturer {hought it well for them to consider when they looked upon the present struggle going on in Cuba. The lecture was ended with a tribute to Cuba. The last views shown by the stereopticon was of Columbia waving the stars and stripes, which called forth tremendous ap- plause. _o WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET. Poultry Unuxunily Low — Butter Still Higher. The features of the local wholesale pro- duce market today are the advance in but- ter and the fall in poultry. The advance in the price of butter was foreshadowed in this column last week, but the deciine the price of poultry was depen lent almost whcl- ly upon the condition of the weather, and as the winter has seemingly given way to spring, poultry is today and has been der- ing the past several days lower than ut any other time this season. If the weather of today zives way to cold, freezing tempera- tures between now and Christmas eve price: will sharply advance. Otherwise, turkeys will be had at practically purchasers’ own prices. Eges are today from one to two cents lower a dozen than last week, the open, spring-like weather heing responsible for such a yield as to send them down at a season when they are generally much hig’ er. Game, vegetables, meats and-other pro- ducts are also somewhat affected by the Weather, but to nothing like the extent it has affected poultry. The market is a splen- didly supplied one, and an unusualiy active one. : Butter is today from one to two cents a pound higher than this day a week <0, and is also firmer. There is a fee some quarters that prices have been to the top notch. Only the very fine command top prices, ‘although Jun in ng rds,-where e makes.

The article js so worded that it has Leen construed as ascribing to me state- ments that I did not make and sentimentss| that I do not entertain, in reference to the discontinuance of the admission of women to the medical college. As intimated in the article itself, I made not the slightest reference to women’s fail- ing “to receive their rights simply because they failed to deserve them.” I further made not the slightest refer- ence, directly or indirectly, to the lady students “quarreling among themselves,” ete., or about the school not being “equip- ped to administer justice in a tea fight,” C. What I did say was that the lady stu- dents were the most studious, attentive, painsteking and appreciative, in many re- spects, of all the students in the college, and that ladies were no longer admitted to the college simply on grounds of expedi- ency and lack of facilities for carrying out the great principle of coeducation. It gives me sincere pleasure to state that the vast majority of all the lady students were, in the best sense of the word womanly women and ladies, and I con- sider it an honor and an Inspiration to Le thrown in contact with them.

Smith Prefers Denth to a Court Experience. One suicide is generally followed by two others, and it sometimes happens that the chain is not broken until four or five lives have been sacrificed. The suicide two days @go of Mrs. Spicer was followed the same night by Lizzie Herbert's taking a dose of “rough on rats,” and yesterday Charies Smith, an old soldier inmate of Soldiers’ Home, made a desperate attempt to end his life. He followed the example of Mrs. Spicer, using a razor, but he did not make so much of a success of his undertaking as did Mrs. Spicer. So far as is knew: the women had no special reason for thei acts, but the old soldie cons! troubled him because he did not appear as a witness in the Michael Burke “speak-easy"’ case. The jury in the case had disagreed, and when an officer went to the home yesterday to summon witnesses he learned of what Smith had done. He had cut his throat and wristgend was in a serious conditio: although may recover. Sinith is about fifty years old, and was called as a wit- ness by the prosecution, but he failed to respond, and an attachment was issued for him. He had probably anticipated this a: tion, and preferred death to court exp rience, and his conduct, {t is thought, re- sulted from the excessive use of liquor. a to Baltimore and Return vir Pennsylvania ‘Railroad.

The recent difficulty between Senator Blanckard and Maj. rsey, editor of the New Orleans Daily States, recalls to a Star writer some personal details about the latter. Hearsey today is probably one of the most remarkable figures in southern journalism. A man who has clung to n traditions with a desperate tenacity al- most patriotic, he seems to stand abso- lutely alone in New Orleans as the one survivor who retains the quaint pietur- esqueness of the old regime. He is a fear- he espouses a cause or a principle he fizh the Issue to the bitter end.
