There has been considerable complaint of the conduct of an tnknown man at the high bridge across Rock creek. Most of It come from the children of the neigh- berhood, who are forced to use the struct- ure to go to and from their daily trips to school. The man would Ie in wait near the Georgetown end of the bridge, and catching a small party of girls he would insult them and make indecent proposals and exhibitions. This has been going on for several days, and at last the police were notifie@. The favorite time of the man seemed to be in the afternoon, though frequently he was at the spot in the morning. Policeman Bradley was notified, and he laid in wait for the miscreant. ' Yester- day he arrested William Miller, a young white man, who appeared to be a profes- sional tramp. He was not caught in the act, but was found loitering around the bridge entrance, acting in a_ suspicious manner. and was sent to the station. He gave his age as twenty-four, and said that he was a wood carver by trade, but had been tramping around the count He stated that he had broken jail in another section of the country. He was held as a suspicious character, and this morning went to the Police Court in the Black Me- ria. Bequest to the University. Several days ago Mrs. Margaret Donovan, aged about seventy-five years, died at her home at the southeast corner of 36th and P streets. She had been a resident of this section of the country for a number of years, and had lived in a single room at the above mentioned place for a long time, renting from Mrs. Collins. She did work in the laundry*at Georgetown University when able, and it was not supposed that she had much money. After her death a will was discovered, leaving $60—ail she had—to Georgetown University, the will be- ing dated in I882. It has since been filed for probate. The deceased leaves a brother, about eighty years of age, and several nieces, but not a cent was left to them. The heirs have been hunting around, under the firm belief that a subsequent will was made providing for them, but such has rot been found. If it is not found, there ts a likelihood of the present will being con- tested. Theory of the Double Murder. The police of Georgetown entertain a dif- ferent belief of the double murder at W&lk- er’s Chapel, just the other side of the Chain bridge, from that of the Virginia authorities. While the coroner's jury came to the conclusion that Rosa Lowe was killed by Charles Jackson, and the latter killed by Arthur Parker, the local police are of the idea that Parker killed boti his sister and Jackson. It is claimed that the coroner and his jury did not carry the in- vestigation far enough, but simply relied on surface facts. The only evidence of the Killing of the girl by Jackson was through the testimony of the Carter boys, who saw him quarreling with her, purely circum- stantial. It would appear strange if sub- sequent developments showed that Parker killed both, while the coroner's verdict ex- onerates him in one case. Miscellaneous. Mr. Thomas Keliher of 32d street and Mr. Matt Donohue of iid and P streets have gone to Springfield, Mass., for a visit. Jorn B. Pope has bought of Walter S.

A Boycott on Hat Makers Given Con- sideration, The first anniversary of the Central Labor Union took place iast evening at Typographical Temple. Previous to the exercises incident to that a meeting of the organization was held, with President Mil- ford Spohn in the chair, and Mr. J. J. Crowley secretary. The spectal committee to investigate the ‘circle check system," Messrs. S. J. Gompers, John Weber and John Willis, made a report indorsing the action of the American Federation of La- bor at its last convention in condemning the proposed innovation. The report was adopted. A communication was received from Mr. John Phillips, secretary of the United Hatters of North America, asking the members of the Central Labor Union to boycott a number of non-union hat manu- rers, also stating that some of the rs in hats In Washington have been deceived into purchasing hats on which have been placed counterfeit union labels. A committee was appointed to interview the firms whose names were inclosed in the communication and apprise the firms in- terested of thes facts. Weber reported that he had a unien of beer and mineral 's, and would organize the bar- t Saturday night. ates from the newly organized Tail- ors’ Union were admitted. They are M Grace M. Loewer, John E. Cannon, Louis Pearlman, Frank Saffell and Benedatto Carollo, The open meeting was also presi esident Spohn. Addresses were deliv- ered by J. M. Keener and Samuel J. Gom- pographical Union, William Sil- anite Cutters and President | > Welcoming Their Pastor. An interesting and novel reception was given the pastor of the Memorial U. B. Church, Rev. J. E. Fout, last Wednesday evening, upon his return to his charge for the fifth year. The reception was planned to be entirely informal. and the program so arranged as to make every one just as welcome and interested as possible. The address of wel- come was made by the Rey. L. L. Smith in Ms usual happy vein, and drew from the audience hearty applause. After the pas- tors earnest response, an original poetic welcome, written by Professor Stevens, was r : himself. Ample refreshments had been provided by the ladies of the church, and were par- taken of, after the ladies present had se- lected their escorts by an unique and im- proved method. The welcome extended the pastor and his wife was most hearty and sympathetic. a What She Drank. Mildred Marshall, a colored woman, whose appearance indicated that she was not one of the Police Court’s regular vis- itors, was in the toils before Judge Kimball this morning on a charge of having used bad language on the street, Several of her neighbors, who were willing to have her out of the neighberhood for a while, ap- peared and gave evidence against her. “Deed, judge,” said one woman, “I be- lieve she was drunk, and that’s what made her use such disgraceful language.” “I know she was drunk,” said another, and a policeman told what he knew about he : r of the Spohn. indeed, judge,” said the woman. Twasn't ‘cause I was drunk. "Twas cause a man kicked at my dog in my own ara Here one of the witnesses told the court that Mrs. Marshall's dog did bite at a man, and the man did kick at the dog. But, Mrs. Marshall,” said the judge, you had been drinking?” ~ “I had got two cans of beer,” was her reply. “but two cans of beer wouldn’t make nobody drunk. Not having experienced the effects of drinking two cans of beer the judge made no comment, but imposed the usual fine, ge eee If you want anything. try an ad. in The Star.

This city has contributed so much that a performer is a native of this city is not as a usual thing sufficient to de- velop enthusiasm. The demonstration last night was, therefore, a tribute to Mr. Lack- aye's attainments more than to his posi- tion as a Washington man, and it amounted to nothing less than an ovation. He has very cautiously adhered to the lines upon which his conspicuous and recent success was achieved. The title role in “Dr. Bel- graff” is that of a man with a dialect who makes an unscrupulous use of hypnotic powers. Despite the fact that the sup- porting cast includes people of merit and reputation, the force of the performance is centered almost entirely in Mr. Lack- aye’s work. Mi: Wainwright plays the role of the hypnotic subject with refine- ment and power. C. W. Couldock’s per- formance adds another creation to the many which cause him to be affectionately welcomed whenever he appears. But Bel- graff is the pre-eminent quantity. The attraction of the piece does not lie in its qualities as a drama, but in the manner in which Lackaye portrays the over- throw of a powerful intellectual and moral nature by misfortunes for which the man himself is not to blame. The story is work- ed out in a way which takes but slight account of the appetites of an audience for rewards and retributions. This may have been an intentional departure, but it elimi- nates much of the difficulty, for the play writer makes a very gloomy story. Despite the lack of regard for poetic justice, the performance cannot but awaken interest. Mr. Lackaye'’s Belgraff must command the attention and admiration which attach to a masterpiece. Columbia Theater.—“Shamus O'Brien,” the Irish opera written by George Jessop, and composed by Dr. Villiers Stanford, as -produced at the Columbia Theater last night, was one of the most enjoyable pro- dvetions of English opera that has been rd here for some time. There are no ingers ir either cast or chorus who can individually be called great, but each one in the presentation is fully able to cope with all of the demands of his or her part. ‘Shamus O'Brien” is the best acted opera that has been seen here in many years. Every member of the cast is a finished ac- tor, and the performance was notable in that the dramatic side was fully as accept- able as the musical. The chorus was ex- cellent, singing the various numbers with volume and precision. It was not only a splendid body of singers, all with fresh, ycung voices, but was also one of the besi- lcoking choruses that has been seen here. The book of the opera is written in a highly interesting fashion, being built from James Sheridan Fanu’'s familiar poem. The music is written in the modern school and is enjoyable. There are a num- ber of pleasirg airs, that carry themselves, while at times the concerted numbers rise to almost the height of grand opera. At no time does it descend to cheapness. The orchestra was augmented, and was led by J. Clarence West, the regul: director of the company being Il in Chicago. There is a curious distribution of parts in the cast. The villain, instead of being a bass, is a robust tenor, while the hero ts a baritone. A priest is a baritone and a hardy soldier is a tenor. Albeit, the parts were sung and acted, especially the latter, in a way to Please the most captious critic. Joseph O'Mara, the villain with the tenor voice, carried off the honors, if there were any distinction to be made, both, in his dra- matic work in portraying the temperamental changes of his part and in his singin He showed the entire gamut of human emo- tions, from treachery to comedy and pa- tho: and did it so well it was almost for- gotten that he was the villain, and as such naturally out of favor with his audience. Denn: O’Suilivan, as Shamus, the hero, sang his role in good voice, and was in line with O'Mara in his acting. His athletic build and splendid stage presence made him a favorite at once. A. G. Cunningham as the priest and Reginald Roberts the captain filled out the male quartet, and made as much a success out of their parts as did the two principals mentioned. Miss Anna Roberts was suffering with a cold, but sang her part in good voice, and, like the rest, her dramatic work w: She played the heroine, Shamus Miss Carr Shaw, a soubrette of pleasing voice and appearance, had an agreeable, though not powerful, voice, and in many other Ways established self as a_ favorite. There will be no performance of “Shamus O'Brien” at the Columbia tonight, the Bos- ton Symphony giving its last concert of the season there. Lafayette Square Ope: and fashionable audien including in a number of brilliant box pasties the Vice President of the United States and ladles, the Speaker of the House of Representa- tives and ladies, the secretary to the Presi- dent and ladies and a number of senators and representatives, last night attend the first production in this city of Sardou’ new play, “Spiritisme,”’ as presented by a Frohman company. It is safe to Say that Sardou can write a play which ts some- what better than any one else can write, but in this instance he has not written one which is better than Sardou can write. In other words, while he has a plot of the most Sardouesque character, there is more of the metaphysic than the dramatic in it, and the result {s too much talk. The plot has the faithless wife of a doting husband represent to him that she is going away on a train, when, in fact, she goes across the street to the house of her lov: The train is wrecked and burned almost at the sta- tion and &’s the wife is supposed to be on that train and ts not found, she is given up as dead, and she cannot’ contradict the story lest a greater calamity result. The spiritualistic feature of the play grows out of the husband seeking by the practice of spiritism to communicate with his dead wife. She comes back to him In spirit, as he thinks, and he forgives her, after she has told him all. Then he goes farther and forgives her, when she tells him she fs not a spirit. ‘The difficult wife is played with great strength and feeling by Miss Virginia Harned; the role of the husband is assumed with powerful naturalness by Mr. Th Roberts, who succeeds the late Mr. Wheatcroft in the part. Mr. Barrymore as the lover and Mr. Gilmour as the wife's cousin and best friend present two strongly contrasted characters House.—A large with equal merit. Mr. Wm. F. Owen and Mr. Charles Harbury are two physicians, one of France and one of Scotland, com- parinz with each, as do Frenchmen and Scotchmen. The play is cast as the Froh- mans always cast their plays, and Sar- dou himself could scarcely ask that it be put in other hands than now present it. Academy of Music.—A fatr-sized audience witne ed the initial pr niation of the farce comedy “Girl Wanted” in Washington last evening at the Academy of Music. What tittle plot there is to the piece d with the trials of a rich man’s step-si and daughter, his only relatives living, who hepe to become his heirs: but the rich man threatens to leave the money to an old friend in Maine. To prevent this threat be- ing carried out various disguises and tricks are tried. Frank Bush, as the lover of the niece of the rich man, assumes a half doz- en characters and in this way endeavors to restore the two women to the good graces of the rich brother and uncle. As a He- brew waiter Mr. Bush is seen at his best and is exceedingly droll. In quick succes- sion Mr. Bush comes on the stage as a song and dance man, a Yankee farmer from Maine, a tough waiter, a German girl, a humorous Irishman and a prima donna. In ail these different make-uys Mr. Bush Was seen to good advantage, many of his stories being new and, of course, artistical- ly told. Pretty Ola Hayden was easily the second important person in the play, her refined acting and beautiful singing 'win- ning prolonged applause. The work of Shorty Healy deserves special mention, as he was continually in sight and never’ be- came tiresome. In company with W. A. Mason, the old act of this pair was brought forward and proved to be as great a laugh provoker as ever. Ed Chrissie, John and Harry Dillon, Joe Hayden and Queen Heth- erton, Clinton Williams, Miss Edna Ba?- clay and the Darling Sisters were all good in their different parts, the latter pair cre- ating considerable enthusiasm and laughter through the medfum of a German song and ance. Grand Opera House.—A great audience was at the Grand. last night to greet Mr. Thomas E. Shea, on his first appear- ance in “Washington, among whom, in honor of his merit, his play and his Yankee nationality, so to speak, were the Secretary of the Navy and perty, and a big delega- tion -of New England members of Con- gress. It was New England night for a starter, and Mr. Shea and hig company felt the inspiration and responded to it with fine spirit. The play is ‘The Man-o’-War's Man,” by Harkins, who has outdone him- self in this and has given one of the finest melodramas Washington has seen. It is in four acts, the first in New York city, the second in Honolulu, the third in Russia and Africa, and the fourth in Nicaragua, by which it will be seen that the autnor has not narrowed tie ficld of his dramatic fancy. Mr. Shea, as Capt. Jack Conway, talent to the stage that the mere fact part. of the | PEASBELOMLADOSHEDODIDL ILE PORO LOD POO an American naval officer, 1s, of course, the mainmast, as it were, wf the cast, and about him are clustere@ wcenes and inci- dents which fire the hearts of patriots and bring into expression ofthe most vocifer- ous kind all those sentiments which go to make a nation and pie great. The plot is Jong and intri but there was never & moment when the intensity of the situations grew less or fhe Interest of the uGience slackened. The villain was well lone by Henry Testa. Miss Neswith, as Ellinor Denleigh, causes all the trouble in the play for the captain, and finally res- cues him and makes it all right. A very bright character is the Rose Leontine of Miss Rote Adelle, who, with Frank Bou- man made a comedy couple that the audi- ence could not get too mach of. For that matter, however, the entire cast was above the average, and their: work was at all times acceptable. It is rare that a melo- drama makes such a hit! as this one has dore, and surely none has ever won more applause on its first appearance. Mr. Shea will appear Saturday night as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Bijou Tkeater.—“Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ is as much a feature of history as any great battle. And it has outlived every other play, and will continue to live, despite the fact that we have all seen it. It !s almost a necessary part of the education of the young, and so long as it instructs and en- tertains it will ever be welcome. One of the best productions of the play is that given this week at the Bijou, under the management of the sons of the authoress, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, and no money has been saved to make it a first-class pro- duction in every respect. Uncle Tom, as portreyed by William Curry, was a finish- ed plece of acting, and Harry Webber, as Marks, the lawyer, was good. Eva was skillfully handled by Little Walley Webber, and although scarcely nine years old, she took the character with the ease of a vet- eran. Topsy, by Florence Ockerman, was a genuine surprise, and she fairly eclipsed all previous effdrts at the character. There is a good company of colored dancers, cake walkers and singers with the troupe. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Sam T. Jack is as much a part of the variety stage as P. T. Barnum was of the circus world. Of ali the good shows ne has on the road, there is not one of them better than “The Adam- less Eden,” the combination now playing a week’s engagement at Kernan’s. Last night the usual first nighters. were augmented by a large number of people anxious to see a first-class burlesque show, and the result was that before the curtain went up, the house was crowded. “A Parisienne Musical Soiree” is the entertaining curtain raiser. ‘The pretty girls, with their natty cos- tumes, lend a pleasing background to the otherwise clever performance, and through- out they are always In evidence. Pleasing Ada Downie is a singer of ability, and was well received. Sigfried contributed an act somewhat like Fregoli, and his changes and mimicry were very interesting. Miss Edna Collins turned herself into a bird and whistled sweetly. Sherman & Morisey kept the audience convulsed with their knock- about act on the trapeze. The living pi tures are a feature. The Blographe.—The second week at Wil- lard Hall of the Biographe, or rather Bio- Scope, under the management of Mr. J. F. Durham of Kentucky, began yesterday un- der renewed favorable auspices, and sur- prised and delighted audiences attended the three exhibitions of the day. A very at- tractive addition, and most popular, are the views of the inaugural procession at various times. In one of these appears a most striking picture of Mr. Cleveland and to the Capi- Durham's lectures are brilliant to the exhibition. The hours are and 8:15 p.m. Major McKinley on their way tol. Mr. Tomorrow's Matinee Concert.—The m iree concert to be given tomorrow afte noon at the Columbia Heater by the Bo ten Instrumental Club,:urder the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid Association of the Home- opathic Hospital, will not only be an en- joyable musical affair. but it will be a so- cial and financial success as well, from all present indications. The charity is.a most worthy one and should meet with a hearty resp There no need of words in praise of the Boston Instrumental Club. It is a standard musical organization, and will present a program which should satisfy the Most exacting. Mrs. Gardner, soprano, who will assist the club, will be heard to advantage in a number of well-chosen sc- le tions. The rogram will include Ros- ni’s overture, “Italians in Algier: Witt's ‘onniageruhe,” for string quintet; Gon- nod’s “Philemon et Baucis;"’ “Lohengrin” selections, two numbers by German, Lang- ey’s “Felice,” a duet for fiute and horn, by Doppler, and “La Giaconda.” The num- bers assigned to Mrs. Gardner are Luck- sicne’s waltz song, ‘‘Deligh and selec- tions with piano. Th who have secured boxes for the concert are Mrs. Brice, Mrs. Dalzell, Mrs. McMillan, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr: Westinghouse, Mrs. Gorman, Mrs. | Huf, Mrs Thomas and Dr. McDonald.

Prof. Wad’s Recital—Prof. Wad will give a recital at the Washington Club next Friday. Prof Wad's first appearance here at this club was a most enjoyable event and showed that he possessed a great deal more than the average amount of musical ability. He finished his studies under chetizsky, and since that time has been ssful in concert and recital work. His appearance at the Washington Club Fri- day evening will be made a warm welcome by his friends in Washington. The pro- gram to be presented is unusually good.

The centennial of the birth of the Em- peror William of Germany was observed last evening at Concordia Church, G and 20th streets northwest, in the presence of a large audience. In the center of the plat- form was a lifesize portrait of the emperor, which was presented by the latter to the late George Bancroft, when minister to Germany, and which since his death has been kept at the Corcoran Art Gallery. On either slde of the picture there were flow- ers, while the church was profusely decor- ated in the same manner. The exercises were begun by the reading of mottoes which the late emperor adopted as the guide of his life. After a voluntary on the organ, an appropriate hymn was sung by the congregation, the Saengerbund leading. The 2ist Psalm was read by the pastor, Rev. G. Facius, and after prayer by Rev. M. Homrighaus, the Saengerbund sang “The Heavens Prais Master Otto Veerhoff delivered a decla- mation on the emperor's life. The oration was delivered by Rev. P. U. Menzel.

Roses and Potted m “Cut flowers and especially roses arc much cheaper than they were three years ago,” said a local florist to a Star reporter today. “Three years ago the florists were getting good paying prices for their blos- soms, but so many of them went in the husiness of growing roses that the flowers beeame a glut on tMe market. Now the whlesale dealer gets only about one-half as much for his roses as he did then. But the choicest flowers still bring good prices. Better prices rule about Easter than at any other time.’ Easter lilies are always in great demand when the Lenten season is over, but this year, said the dealer, they will be scarce, for the reason that some of the dealers fcreed their plants too early and their flowers are all gone. “What about violets?” the reporter asked. “They are much cheaper now,” he re- sponded, “than they were a few years ago. There was a time when violets were sold at not less than a cent each, but now the grower sells the best of them at from 25 to 30 cents a hundred to the deajers, and the retailer sells them at about 5) cents. “People are aow buying potted plants for their spring gardens,” the dealer continued. “By purchasing them so early in the season they get the benefit of the blossoms in the house, and if the plants are good ones, they will do well when planted outside.” => Boards. 12-in., 1c. per foot. —Advertisement. mts Are in De- Libbey & Co. > The Killing of Gans, Yesterday afternoon the Baltimore and Potomac railroad’ officials took charge of the remains of Emil Gans, the veteran who was killed on the Long bridge early yesterday morning, "Squire Birch having decided an inquest unnecessary. The de- ceased had been an inmate of the Sol- diers' Home at Bath, N. Y., having served during the war in the 68th New York Vol- unteer Infantry. He had visited this city a number of times, and was known be- cause of his intemperance. Saturday he reached here and caled at the Temporary Home, on Missouri avenue, but for rea- sens. which the superintendent deemed suf- ficient. he was not admitted. Gans had received his »ension money about two weeks ago, as papers found on him sho’ ed. Sunday morning he left here, saying he was going over n City an finish the day as he ommenced here, and his debauch ended in his being killed. Fragments of the dead veteran's body were picked up along the track and taken to Four-mile Run, where they were viewed by the magistrate.
