Lafayette Square Opera House.—Mr. Rich- ard Mansfield shares with other prominent actors the good fortune of being, most suc- cessful in roles which have been for a con- siderable time features of his repertoire. ‘The new creations with which he from sea- son to season endowed the stage Have been appreciated in varying degrees. One or two have been utterly rejected, but only in cases where the actor failed to mcasure his capa- bilities. In every instance he has shown the vnrest and the perseverance which denote the true artist, and the manner in which the public has disregarded Infudicious utter- gnces attributed to him and given him his due applause as the man who has.done more than any other for the development of the modern American stage “is a triumph the more nearly complete because its genuine- ness admits of no doubt. His methods have afforded a wholesome assurance that a high technical finish in dramatic interpretation will be recognized and rewarded, and his plays have been powerful arguments in favor of the highest refinement. The im- pressiors produced by his performance of Baron Chevrial in the “Parisian Romance” at the Lafayette Square Theater last n'ght are largely rétrospéttive: Not only has the fascination of the character.survived famil- iarity, but it marks thé poiit {n’ the star's career where he emerged from obscurity into brilliant and lasting success. Tonight “Prince Karl” will. ke performed. ———— Distance by Wheel. ~ To the Eulitor of The Evering Star: I was much interested in the article in ‘The Star on “Mending a Bicycle,” especial- ly that portion rélative to the number of revolutions {n 2 mile of a bicycle wheel, and think I can add something of interest and which should be considered in any computation cf distance from the known circumf.ence of the wheel. The wheel hasbeen ‘used for the meas- urement. of distances in surveying to a greater extcnt than is generally known, and to reduce its “limit of error,” the surveyor has to consider and apply many constant errors peculiar to the wheel, as the weight en it well oiled ordry, but ‘the most im- portant of all is the character of the roadbed. The wheel of a wag- on, when .drawn along, actually slides to a certain extent, and the amount of this p” can only be determined. closely by trial over @ measured mile, and for dif- ferent characters of road. A wagon wheel having sufficient weight. upon it to give it a good hold, shcvld, on concrete, very nearly equal the theoretical, or computed number to the mile, but in sand it would be at least two per cent less. The bicycle wheels are pronelled in a similar manner--as the driving wheels of a locometive, and the “slip” in both cases would gtve the actual number of revolu- tions per mile in excess of" the ‘theoretical number, the same as the propejler of a tug boat 2xce2ds in its number of turns per mile the theoretical number. - I believe the District Commissioners would have a standard mile measured in the city for such trials, and I am sure the engineer corps, D.C. Ne G., would meas- ure two or more on the country roads in this vicinity with great pleasure for such a purpese. From the map of the District I find that from the west side of 83th street to the east site of 22d street, along K_ street northwest, Is very close to being one mile.

THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY|THE NEW CARDINAL Architects in Consultation Over the Plans of History Hall The General Design Decided Upon and the Features of the Struc- ture Determined. A!l day Tuesday Mr. Howe of the firm of Van Brunt & Howe of Kansas City and Boston, who have lately been selected as the architects of the American University, was in consultation with Vice Chancellor Beiler and the architect who will represent this end of the line, Mr. William M. Poin- dexter, arranging plans for the hall of his~ tory and also to arrange for the joint working of the two firms. It was agreed that Messrs. Van Brunt & Howe will do most of the draughting work and that the province of Mr. Poindexter shall lie more in the line of a supervisirg architect. The stone was also decided upon for this build- ing, and it is expected that the same ma- terial will be used in all the administra- tion group of buildings. The foundation story, Which will rise about six feet above ground, will be of rock-faced granite, the main story of rock-faced white marble and the upper story also of white marble, but of peculiar chiseling, each stone designed to have a hammered surface surrounded by a border. In Modified Renaissance. ~The general style of architecture was also decided. This will be in the classic line, but with renaissance modifications. The building will have a length of about 180 feet and a width of about 60 feet gross. Most of the decorations are to be placed in and around the main entrance. This will be in the shape of a portico reached by-a flight of steps to correspond to the height above ground of the foundation story and with four large pillars of white marble in front. In the center portion of the front there will be a projection, and to corre- spond to this, in the rear there will be a similar projection, except that this latter one is to be in the shape of a bow. The portico, or vestibule, will open into a large hall, which forms part of a broad hall run- ning the entire length of the building. Arrangement of the Interior. In the lower story there will be offices, toliet and cloak rooms, and, temporarily, a few lecture rooms. On the main floor will be a room to be used as a library for his- torical works and also a historical museum, besides a number of other smaller rooms. The upper floor will be taken up mostly as a large hall for assembly purposes, and also the rooms in which to carry on the studies of this department of the university. These latter are to be arranged in a number of suites of three, having a professor's room, seminaire room and lecture room. Dr. Bei- ler had a conversation with the District Commissioners this week in reference to breaking ground, and it is now regarded as likely that the work of grading will com- mence irside of the next two weeks.

Donatus Sbaretti, auditor of the delegation and pa- pal ablegate, and the Marquis Sacripanti, the member of the noble guard who was selected to be the special ervoy of Pope Leo XIII in conveying to this country the berretta and the pontifical letters, creating Monsignor Satolli a cardinal.

The cappa magna ts a-long vestment, with a silk-lined hood, and the cassock is the long, close-fitting gar- ment which is the distinctive dress of the Catholic clergy. On his return to the sanc- tuary, Cardinal Satolli will vest for the mass which will be rendered, with him- self as the celebrant. Officers of the Mass.

A Well-Planned Raid pf the Police Creates Consternation in the Mtle-Limit Tersitory. The Michael Curtin “mile:limit” case was concluded in the Police Court yesterday af- ternoon, and the jury found that Michael had conducted a “speak easy” in Ruppli- ville, ard bond for his appearance was given. Te conviction of Curtin was fol- lowed by a plea of guilty being entered in the case of Effie Hoey, a young woman charged with a similar offense. She is a widow ard is only twenty-four years old. Her two little children were in court with her, and Prosecuting Attorney Pugh did not want the court to impose a sentence which would result in the separation of the young ones from their mother. Acting upon Mr. Pugh’s suggestion, Mrs. Hoey said she would leave the. ‘“‘mile limit” and would probably return to her former home in Baltimore. The court thereupon suspended sentence and the woman was re- leased. ‘There are thirteen houses in Ruppliville, and thus far the police have located “speak easies” in seven of them. Four of them have been convicted, one pleaded guilty, and one of the six arrested several days ago has not been tried. The seventh al- leged ‘‘speak-easy” keeper was arrested last evening and locked up. He is Au- gustus Schlegel, who is perhaps nearly seventy years old, and this is not his first “speak-easy” experience, for he was ar- rested several months ago and held, and now he may be tried for alleged second offense. A Successfully Arranged Raid. This raid by Policemen Hess, Yetton, Murphy and Hanover was the most success- ful one ever made on those objectionable places in the vicinity of the Soldiers’ Home, and in arranging the evidence to present to the jury the prosecuting attorney covered the ground in a manner that made defeat almost impossible. When the police concluded to make the wholesale raid, they consulted the officials, v.ho rendered all the assistance possible. Then Mr. Pugh was consulted, and he ex- amined a number of the old soldiers under oath, and took their affidavits, so that when the witnesses were finally put on the stand they knew just what they had already stated under oath. Policeman Hess and Yetton did a great part of the work in getting the testimony ard, by using two colored men, they pro- cured whisky from some of the places. This was done after dark, and the conduct of the Police in the vicinity of the National ceme- tery gave rise to the belief on the part of the more superstitious ones that there were ghosts about the road. It developed in the trials of the cases that some of the places were conducted al- most as openly as some of the licensed bar rooms inside the city limits. These people@ charged the usual prices for drinks, and the old soldiers were credited for liquor, so that most of their pension money went in this way. Probable Effects of the Prosecution. Now that so many of the places have been closed it is thoughtiby the police and Scldiers’ Home officials that there will be less drunkenness aboutiithe county for a short while until this illegal traffic in rum is renewed. ‘Tomorrow the four memmnder conviction will be brought beforeiJudge Miller for sentence. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh will ask for the imposition of the maximum sentence in the cases, forihe regards these violations cven more serigus than similar violations in the city where licenses are granted. In the “mile iimit” no licenses whatever are granted, ? Congress having enacted a prohibitory ‘law for the protec- tion of the old soldiers. The police believe that:there are more “speak easies”’ about the ‘mile dimit,” and they will continue their investigation. ee AMONG THE WORKINGMEN.

Trial of an Officer Before the Police Trial Board. The trial of Policeman Schuyler of the first precinct on charges growing out of the theft of a $50 note from Policeman Hern- don's pcckets,was concluded before the trial board yesterday, and although the papers in the case will not reach the Commission- ers for several days, it is stated that the members of the trial board will recom- mend the exoneration ofthe officer. ‘The officer was defended by Lawyer A. A. Lips- comb, who found the tagkaan easy one. It appeared in the,proof that this particular officer was accused because he was con- fused when Lieut. Amiss announced the robbery and intended investigation, but the witnesses said that hevwas not the only «ne who was confused. ——— ; I respectively notify my friends and pa- tients that I have opened ian office with Dr. Phoebe R.

WASHINGTON BURGLARS. King and Wilson Believed to Have Stolen the Burden Jewels. It is now thought certain that William King and Harry Wilson, the alleged colored burglars under arrest in New York, will not be brought here to answer charges of burglary at the house of Mr. Louis Em- mert and attempted burglary at the house of Senator Wolcott, for the reason that the New York detectives claim they have enough on them to connect them with the big New York diamond robberies. In that city the houses of I. Townsend Burden and Mrs. Barnes were robbed, as heretofore published in The Star. Detective Board- man was to have gone to New York last night for the purpose of having Wilson identified, but before he started a telegram was received from Acting Inspector O'Brien asking that warrants for the prisoners be mailed, and gave the information that they will be detained if not held on the New York cases. It is reported that the New York officers have recovered a quantity of jewelry and other articles, and it is thought that some of the articles stolen from Mr. Emmert's house may be among them. Last night Detective Horne returned from Richmond with Richard Coe, the man who Giseppeared with an overcoat and $35 be- longing to Mr. Sryder, a boarder at Mr. Murphy’s house on Ist street, where he (Coe) was manager. Coe, who is fifty-two years old, admits his guilt, and says he is sorry for his conduct. His appetite for strong drink, he says, caused him to com- mit the theft.
