Heredity seems frequently to mani- fest itself in connection with the stage, and Mr. Clarke undoubtedly has much of the charm of personality and the fine artis- tle sensibility which characterized the Booths. Last night he offered at the Co- lumbia a play new to the stage, entitled, “The Last of His Race.” It is an effort to respond to the present demand for romantic drama, ane possesses many points of metit. Plays which showed less intelligence and originality have succeeded, for thereason, perhaps, that a trivial undertaking, suc- cessfully carried 6ut, evokes more applause than a more serious one imperfectly exe- cuted. ‘The public has been taught to expect a lavish array of situations and climaxes, and while“’The Last of His Race” provides some very good ones, they are not sufficientity numerous nor emphatic to wholly satisfy a melodramatic clientelle. It Is impossible to say what the play will be when it has undergone the supervision and reconstruction which has made numer- ous attempts far less convincing in their incipiency than this one, the means of achieving prosperity and fame. The attl- tude of the audience toward the star and the performance was highly encouraging. The curtain was lifted several times at the close of the third act in response to the applause. Mr. Clarke's histrionic tempera- ment is fire, high-strung and exceedingly gentle. His impersonations are always poetic. In this play he enacts th+ role of a struggling artist who has been cheated cut of an inheritance. Graceful as he was, there would have been more to evoke popu- lar enthusiasm had he been less the paint- er and more the cavalier. It is a mistake for the author of a romantic play to leave a hero in distress with a sword at his side, and not allow him to use it. Miss Ade- laide Prince made a very attractive her- oine, and Mr. Albert Gran’s performance made the character of the villain as pic- turesque and unforgivealle as a sympa- thetic audience could desire. The play is remarkably well staged. Lafayette Square Opera House.—The large audience which gathered at the Lafayette Square Opera House last night attested In an emphatic way that the homely and hon- est and pure in the drama still hold their own in*the affections of the public, despite the innovations in the way of stage 3ensa- tions, musical skits and the too-irequently morbid delineations of modern life that have sought to displace them. There were probably few in the audience who had not fhe Old Homestead” before, but fa- ity did not seem to dull the pleasure with which these enjoyed the presentation last night. Smiles and tears followed each other as the quaint humor and the pure pathos, with which the play is replete, al- ternated, and altogether the performance and the performers were thoroughly well appreciated. Archie Boyd as Joshua Whit- comb gave an excellent interpretation cf the character Denman Thompson has made so famous, and centered the approval of the audience from the rise to the fall of the curtain. Fred Clare as “Happy Jack” Hazzard; Marie Kimball as Aunt Matild: Chas. Clark as Seth Perkins and Will ‘y as Cy Prince gave excellent delinea- s of those well-drawn characiers. The singing of the double quartet was very good, this being especially the case in the church scene of the third act, where “The Palms Service’’ was rendered with fine effect, the solo being particulacly weil taken by R. E. Rose. The National Theater.—It is said that the writing of plays runs in the Morton family, of which Mr. Michael Morton, who wrote i Francis of Yale.” is a member, and it is fair to say that this one at the Na- tional is a very fair sample, although not the most coherent and cohesive comedy that might be produced. It is reminiscent of “Charley's Aunt,” and while it is not at all ugly in tone, it at times comes perilous iy near being entirely unproducible. Ju hew that gradation of moral-tone quality is presented rust be seen to be appreciated. Suffice it that there were many situations st night when the audience hung in sus- pense over the danger line, yet the skill of the players saved everybody. And that sort of thing is really more interesting than if it were not. The true value of M Morton's play is that its after effects are in nowise harmful, ‘hough it cannot be said, with exactness, to be wholesome fun. The leading character is Mr. Etienne Girardot’ yner, who impersonates Mis: rancis of Yaie, and by so doing gets every- ‘ody else into troubie. Miss Francis is Mr. sirardot’s “Charley's Aunt’ in another form, and is good. Miss Zenaide Williams, as the sweetheart of Fred Anderson (Rich- ard Bennett), is an attractive player, and her adviser, Miss Mann (Sarah McVicker), s one of the strong characters of the play one with strength. E. J. Mack is a useful and amusing butler, and Mr. Harry Keane is to be complimented upon a quality rare- ly possessed by actors, to wit, the sense {o see when anything happens to be in the way of the players on the stage and to re- move It, wheter it he a chair fallen over, or a hat or a flower fallen off. In this re- spect the average player seems to lose his ts if anything occurs which the stage manager has not set down in his book. A sweet little player was Gertrude Homan as Edna, better, even than the Vista of the play, and a handsome one was Miss La- vinia S whose laugh was so infec- » audience joined, and who richly deserved the a se she re- ceived for her work. The best acting among the women and not excelled by any of the men was the French maid Cosette, a done by Miss Idalene Cotton. The audienc received the performance with distinctive approval, and the house full of people. Academy of Music.—The Land of the Living” ought to have a good run at the Academy of Music this week. While the audience that witnessed it last night was not an unusually large one, it was full of enthusiasm and praise for the play and company which presented it. While the company all around 1s a good one special mention is due Frank Carrington, the lead- ing man, and Miss Neva Harrison, who took the part of “Meg,” the wife of “Reu- ben Tredgold,” the villain of the play. These two were frequently applauded at intervals In the play and were forced to respond by appearing before the curtain. Little Miss Marie Jansen, the juvenile of the play, made herself popular with the audience. Lola Morisse sang and danced in an attractive man r. AS a winsome maiden and as a bootblack she was equai- ly at ease. Geo. D. Macintyre, as the vil- lain, knew what was necessary in his work, ard did his part well. Elanora Broahay, as the faithful wife, notwithstending years of poverty, misery and doubt, won the good will of the audience. Without mentioning the whole company, it may be said tnat {t is an well ordered one. The scenery is fine. A scene in London, in which the famous tower 1s shown, was good. An explosion scene was exceedingly realistic. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—All the first- nignters declared last night that the show at Kernan’s was the best of the season. It is the Irwin brothers’ combination, and it is their reputation that the best enter- tainment obtainable is not too good for them. The feature of the entertainment Was the counterpart representation of the Barrison sisters by five young ladies of comely appearance. Their specialty was spicy. Joe Howard and Ida Emerson {ii- justrated a number of popular songs in a highly entertaining manner, and Leo and Chapman contributed a grotesque acro- batic sketch that was novel. The Man- hattan Comedy Four put up an original specialty that made a hit, and the singing of Madeline Marshall and Kitty Nelson was excellent. Lawrente rode a wheel in every way imaginable, and Macart, with his clever impersonations and monologue Specialty, was greatly enjoyed. After the olio a roaring afterpiece, entitled “A Night at the Opera,” was presented, and, unlike most finishers, was good in many respects. Grand Opera House.—William Calder’ company began the wi performance of “The Span of Life’ it evening at the Grand Opera House, a drama that has had a phenomenal success for the past six years. It has been presented in this city a number of times before, but its many mood qvalities bring forth a good audience on every occasion. Last evening was no ex- ception, and the Grand Opera House was filled. It was a demonstrative audience, too, and appreciated the play in its broad- est sense. George C. Staley, as Richard Blunt, the hero of the play, carries his part well, and secured the interest and at- tention of the entire audience, while Robert Neil, as Dunstan Leech,’ the villain, brought down the wrath of the entire house, especially the gallery gods, on his many dastardly actions. Miss Clara Cole- man as Shrove Tuesday and Wm. Friend as Nutty Brown furnished the humor of the play, and kept the audience in a laugh- ing mood. Miss Rachael Sterling as Kute Heathcote, the heroine of the play, curries her part remarkably well. Mizz Delphine Perrault as Cripple Cecil Jelf captivates the audience by her impersonation of the character. The acrobatic work of tre fa- the iluminations of the =hip being perfect. The entire company way forced to appear before the curtain in response to the thun- derous applause. At another critical part of the play, when the snup of life is forme, and when the hero is dicaptire’ by the Arabs, the applause was Squally as great. The Biograph.—The famous Bivgraph be- gan its twelfth week at Willard’s Hull last night, under new manajement, and the au- dience, which was largcr than usual, lis- tened for the first time !o Jay F. Durham, the well-known newspiper man, who is now the biographer of Washington, so to speak. The pictures are as entertaining as usual, and there never seems to be the least waning of interest, andsthe more an audi- ence gets the more it wants. Applaus> was frequent, and exclamations of surprise never end. During this week the entertain- ment will be given new interest by a series of pictures of the inauguration, and the stirring scenes of that eventful Jay will be lived and moved over again for all wh» want to see—and all want to Perform- ances are at 2:30, 4:30 and 8:15 p.m. The Soldiers’ Home.—An entertainment will be given tonight at Marble Hall, Sol- diers’ Home, by the Legion of Loyal W men. Gen. Stanley, the governor of i home, will furnish the band. Commander Hopkins and staff, G. A. R,, will be present. Mr. Wm. H. Conley and other excellent tal- ent will furnish the program. Union M. E. Church.—A concert will be given tonight at the Union Methodist Epis- copal Church, the proceeds of which will be used for the benefit of church improve- ments. Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes, the Metro- politan Mandolin Club, the Cecilian Quar- tet, Miss Zue Brockett, Mr. Will M. Mconey, Miss Augusta M. Swan, Mr. Ber- nard Ryan, Mr. Fulton Karr, Miss Sallie Nicholson and Mr. Boute Clark will partici pate. The ladies of the church will serve refreshments in the lecture room. Burnt Cork Club.—An entertainment be given at Carroll Institute Hall tomo row night by the well-known Burnt Cork Club for the benefit of Commandery No. 248, Knights of St. John. At the conclusion of the entertainment there will be dan ing. The Burnt Cork Club is the best known organization of the kind in this part of th country, and will put on a show which cannot fail to be enjoyable. Prof. Ewell’s Lecture—Prof. J. L.. Ewell delivered a lecture on “The Path of the Pilgrim Fathers” before the Washington Congregational Club at the First Congre- gatioral Church last night, a large and ap- preciative audience being in attendance ‘The lecture was illustrated, and each step of the history of the fathers from about 1526 to the present day was made the subject of a beautiful picture that was appreciated to the utmost. The path of the fathers was followed through England, to Holland, and back again, and then the embarkation and the voyage of the May- flower to the new world, the various for- tunes which followed the band in the new world, and then finally the present town of Plymouth as it stands today A Shakespearean Reading.—A Shakes- Fearean reading was given yesterday at the rooms of the Washington Club by Miss Emily Bingham of Indianapolis. Miss Bingham has many friends in Washington, and they were out in force to give her a warm welcome. Miss Bingham'’s subject was “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” and she acquitted herself in an admirable man- rer, winning the plaudits of her large au- diencs. Mrs. Bard, Mrs, Dean, Mrs. Brad- ley and Mrs. Naumann gave musical se- lections that were pleasing. Miss Bing- ham will read Browning’s “In a Balcony” Monday. Bijou Theater.—The deterioration of min- strelsy during the pasBfew 3 has been Gue to the innovatiortg enterprising man- agers heve introduced. 1 old-time show with the funny effi men‘and gullibie inter- locutor, has given way toé}what has heen termed a higher Ge fhings, and end men with white wig: Rilks and satins have been the order.*"Bat there has al- ways been a lgnging for the old-time min- strels.. The improved order of things has not destroyed the taste for genuine ead men, and the result $m that whenever a real old-time quintet ae ean visits the city it is right generougly supported. This was so last night, when @ large audience presented itself at the Hijou Theater to enjoy the Georgia Minstrels. That their mission was fulfilled was testified by thg, incessant roars of laugiter. There was no need of burnt cork to improve the ap- pearance of things. The members of the eempany are black enough. Billy Ker- sands, an old-time favorite, is a member of the company, and, like liquor, he proves with age. The end men are funny and the soloists are good, and the entertain- ment as a whole is excellent. To the lo ers of old-time minstrelsy the Georgia Minstrels are commended. Soldiers’ Home Dramatic Company.— St Thursday evening the Soldi s’ Home Theater was crowded with veterans and tors to witness the play “Rio Grande” by the Soldiers’ Home Dramatic Compan. The heroine of Retta, vy Miss who, in her Pretty Spanish costumes, did acting wortay the highest commendation. Miss Fanny Appleby, who played for the first time wich tke company, showed decided taient in the rendition of the part of Grace Lawton, the colerel’s daughter. Mr. Hutchinson.” the comedy man, was a “howling success” in the part of tne dude. Mr. R. W. Test stepped from his usual line of work and played the part of the villain, a wealthy Spanish American. The work was not stilted, nor overdone, but smoothly played. His make-up was a work of art, and his costumes iypical. Mr. Daly, the stage man- ager, played the hero of the story and Eich- made it go from start to finish. M elberger was an inimitable Mrs. Bigg: made her scenes with Jeremiah, her band, played by Mr. Harry English, the life of the play. Mr. English’s work was mere than clever, and the climax, his fight with Caddy, the dude, was the hit of the play. Miss Shafer as the “American Belle,” Mr. Collamer as her brother Johnnie, Mr. Elchelberger as the Colonel and Mr. Town- send as Casey should each one be praisei for their work. The “team work” of the company Was better in this production then ever before and the management was tendered a message of praise and commen- dation from the governor. at the falling of the curtain in the last act. The next per- formance will be a triple bill, announced to be played on March 25. Glories of Daniel 0’Connell.—A classic en- tertainment is promised the friends and pa- trons of Gonzaga College tomorrow even- irg in the new college hall. The Glories of Daniel O'Connell, Ireland's most eloquent son, and the author of her emancipation from religious persecution, will be told over again by the Rev. John T. Murphy, the eloquent and talented president of Holy Ghost CoHege, Pittsburg, Pa. Father Mur- vhy, himself a native of Ireland, educated in the universities of Europe, brings to the treatment of his subject (in itself a Breat one) the enthusiasm for which Irish genius is distinguished, coupled with great learning and rare culture. The lecture will begin at 8 o'clock, and before and after the Marine Band will render a program of exquisite Irish music. The college students, the Catholic Club, Catholic Knights and other affillated societies are expected to at- tend. : Last Days of Pompei.—Tomorrow evening at the Hamline M. B. Church the Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, will give his fourth recital of his original dramatization of Lyt- ton’s thrilling tale, ‘Zhe: Last Days of Pompeii.” Last week it was given to an audience of nearly one*thotsand, and next week upon invitation ‘he 4s to give it in Albany, N. Y. Several new views have been procured for tomorrow evening's re- cital. = Mr. Clum’s Lecture.—The large and cul- tured audience which gathered at Carroll Institute last evening to listen to the story of Ben Hur, as presented’by Mr. John P. Clum, were well repala for their attend- ance. This was the 5] 's tirst appear- ence before a Washington Assembly in this thrilling story, and his many friends were delighted with the spléndid success which he achieved. His manner Was dignified and his words eloquent and enthralling. Al- ways pleasing and effective, he was, on this occasion, unusually interesting. The pic- tures presented, recently colored by a Washington artist, under Mr. Clum’s per- sonal supervision, constitute the most com- plete and attractive illustrations of this beautiful story yet shown in this city. Jack Bayne’s Benefit.—All the details of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight will be faith- fully and graphically reproduced at the Bijou Family Theater tomerrow afternoon. In conjunction’ with this feature there will be a_performance, participated in by Geo. W. Graham, Madden and Adams, Richard C. Maddox, the Madrid Mandolin Quartet, Mat.

Chemists have recently, and in public, made actual diamonds, comparable in every respect, save one, that of size, with nature’s mcst valued product. But the crystals so manufactured have, while true diamonds, been so microscopic In propor- tions as to be of no commercial value. Now, however, United States Consul Ger- main at Zurich reports to the State De- partment that a Mr. Moyat ns to have discovered a process by which dia- monds cf larger dimensions may be pro- duced. In principle his process is simi to one already used—that is, to cr; carbon out of iron and steel by means high pressure and high temperature. Yet there is an improvement in the technical eperation. Pulverized coal, iron chips and liquid carbonic acid are inclosed in a strong steel tube, hermetically sealed and subjected to an electri are between two terminals in the ends of the tube. The iren liquifies, is saturated by part of the pulverized coal, at the same time the liquid carbonic acid evaporates, thereby creating enormous pressure on the liquid iron and coal. This pressure considerably increases the dissolution of the coal in the liqaid iron. While the mixture is cooi'ng the carbon crystallizes partly in the form of real diamonds and partly in the form of similar stones. These crystals are released from the ingot by dissolving the Iron in diluted muriatic acid. The mixture by th method remains under high pressure du ing the operation of the electric current. Earthquake Shock« in Mexico. The mountain districts of the states of Micheacan and Colima, Mexico, have ex- perienced severe earthquake shocks during the last three da: and there is mw alarm among the inhabitants. The Colin voleano is becoming active again, and dens " columns of smoke are pouring from its crater. see eb A General Invitation, From the Argo it.
