Frank Buddington, aged twelve years, son of Mrs. Buddington, a widow, living in Avalon Heights, is thought to be in a very serious condition from the effects of a blow in the stomach, said to have been inflicted by Archie Gray, a neighbor, and a boy of about the same height, but seven years older and much stouter. According to the statements of parties who saw the affair, which occurred about a week ago, but which was not made known outside of the two families in- terested until this morning, the boys were engaged in a friendly sparring contest, Frank representing Corbett and Archie Fitzsimmons. Unfortunately, the latter, it is said, struck Frank with his fist in- the stomach. The latter fell to the ground, and, being unable to rise, was taken home and put to bed. Mrs. Buddington was not at home at the time, being away attending to some busi- ness in the city, and did not jearn of the affair until the next morning, when, upon calling her son to get up, she found that he was too ill to leave his bed. . Medical ald was at once summoned, and everything possible is being done in the case, but there is much anxiety felt as to the final result.

Melody ripples through the whole score, with rhythmatic :novemerts in abundance. The numbers are superb, the choruses beautiful and the orchestra- tion impressive. The scenic effects will be suberb and a very attractive feature of the whoie. The Castle Square Opera Com-, pany, which is now rounding out the first year of its Philadelohia season without having missed a single performance since the opening night, will give i» this city the same splendid service that has made the company’s business in the Quaker city so phenomenal. The beauty of the pro- auctions will be a matter of surprise and comgnent, and the company will be com- posed of the best talent obtainable—opera singers who have won on their merits a:.d who will make summer opera most popular here. The cast that will produce ‘“Ithe Gipsy Baron” includes Thomas H. Persse, a@ tenor of meritorious excellence, as Ba- rinkay; William Wolff, general director of the organization, as Zsoupan; Wm. Schus- ter, as Carnero; Melville Stewart, well known here, as Count Hominay, and Regi- nald Roberts, as Ottakar. Miss Arna Lichter, a prima donna of exceptional bril- liancy, will be Saff, having as alternate Miss Eland. Miss Lizzie Macnichol, Wash- ington’s own contralto, will alternate with Miss Mary Linck, recently returned from Europe to rejoin the company. Miss Or- iska Worden, niece of Admiral Worden, will sing Arsena, and Miss Gertrude Rut- ledge Mirabella; Harry Moxton will be Jozsy, and Frank Ranney, Pali. Nothing to make the operas and surroundings har- monize with good taste and refinement will be omitted. Prices for evenings will be 25, 50 and 75 cents. Matinees, Wecres- day and Saturday, 25 and 50 cents; nothing higher, and all reserved. “A Midnight Bell.”—Hoyt’s masterpiece, “A Midnight Bell,” with the popular come- dian, Digby Bell, as the unctuous Deacon Tidd, and with his charming wife, the emi- nent contralto, Laura Joyce Bell, in the character of the Spinster, will receive a superb production on the occasion of its presentation in this city next week at the New National. The cast will consist of twenty-three people, among them being some of the best-known artists in the the- atrical profession. New and elaborate scenery will mark its advent here, and is now being painted by the celebrate art- ist, Arthur Voegtlin. Complete new music has been arranged by the famous Victor Herbert, conductor of the 224 Regiment, “Gilmore's,” Band, and composer of the music for “Prince Ananias,” “The Wizard of the Nile,” and other successes. The production and presentation will be under the management of Duncan B. Harrison. Walker Whiteside.—That Mr. Walker Whiteside, the American tragedian, will appear in this city next week should be gratifying news to all lovers of the legiti- mate drama. The unanimity with which the critics have commended Mr. White- side’s work must be accepted as founded on conviction. No player since the days when Edwin Booth was in the zenith of his fame has ever been accorded such un- stinted praise. Booth was undoubtedly the greatest Hamlet of his time. There was none in America or Europe worthy to share the glory of renown with him. He gave to the American stage an enduring luster, such as neither Forrest nor Davenport had succeeded in bestowing upon it. So long as the stage exists the “mantle of Booth” will have a significance not ac- corded the posthumous fame of any of the other players that the world has seen and honored in the past century. He who wears the mantle of the greatest of all Hamlets must indeed be worthy of distinc- tion. And it is this distinction that has been accorded Mr. Whiteside. ‘Those who have seen and studied Mr. Whiteside’s work find in him all the qualifications of the ideal Prince of Denmark. lie gives to the character of Hamlet the y that seem to accord with the poet's fancy, and the most studious interpretation of the text. Thoughtful beyond lis years, his face and eyes have the fine intellectual expressiveness which accords so well with the prince, to whom philosophy was an instinct, and whose soul had delved deep into the unsolved spiritual mysteries of life. Endowed by ratur2 with a voice of marvelous flexibility, the modulated soft- ness of his reading in the quiet passages of the text seems to accentuate the ringing intonation with which the sublimely pas- sionate lines are rendered. Mr. Whitestde is evidently not a one-part player, how- ever. While fitted by nature to be the ideal Hamlet, he is credited with giving to every role he has essayed a character and freshness that indelibly stamped him as a finished and conscientious actor. The following is the repertoire of the week: Monday, Friday and Saturday matinee, “Hamlet; Tuesday and Thursday, “Riche- lieu;” Wednesday, double bill, “Cousin of the King”. and “Fool's Reveuge;” Satur- day evening, “Othello.” Old Lavender.—“Old Lavender,” that ever popular play from the pen of Mr. Edward Harrigan, will be the next attraction at the Academy. Mr. Harrigan is surrounded with a clever company, many of whom have been with him for years and con- tributed to make his many successes popu- lar. “Old Lavender” will live, as it appeals to man witha virility that is true. The en- comiums upon it by the writers of America are well known. Matthew Arnold, the Eng- lish poet, praises the play as a true piece of dramatic writing, and published in the Lon- don Society a review of the play, closing his article by saying, “America at last has fcund a dramatist.” 20th Century Maids.—Harry Morris will present his company of burlesque artists, which he styles the “20th Century Maids,” at Kernan’s Lyceum next week, giving also the regular matinee performances. The en- tertainment opens with a unique operatic satire, styled “The Girl Bachelors’ Ball,” interpreted by a company of artists well atle to bring out all the possibilities sug- gested in the characters which they are cast to portray. The costumes are beauti- ful, the scenery massive, the music catchy and the electrical and mechanical effecta add greatly to the spectacle. The olio of specialties which follow include such well- known artists as Lew Randall, the eccentric acrobat and dancer; Carter and Auber, operatic vocalists; Thompson and Collins, the monarchs of parody singers; Nettie De Coursey (La Petite Chanteuse), who will present a novel vocal sketch, entitled “A Night’s Frolic,” and many others of cqual note. The feature of the entertainment is the living reproduction of celebrated works of art, in which Viola Thorndyke will be the central figure, assisted by Lillian Murtha and ten of the handsomest poseurs in the country. Miss Thorndyke is the winner of the second annual prize of $1,000 offered by Morris & Woodhull for the hand- somest formed woman on the vaudeville stage. The performance is brought to an end with a most humorous burlesque on Victorien Sardou’s mdst celebrated play, “Madame Sans Gene,” entitled “Madame Sour Jane,” in which America’s most versa- tile comedian will give his clear impersona- tion of Napoleon, assisted by Nettle Le Go to your doctor for advice; he is the best man to tell you what medi- cine you need.

Miss Abbott's Suceszsful Debut.—A new Tepresentative of Washington on :the stag was brought out gt;the» Academy in the production of “A Texas Steer” last night in the person of ide Abbott, who took the part of Déxie Stile, the Indiana =. at a very :itew~ minutes’ notice. a iterday afternoon, ee aoe the company ré-eived notice tha! Ss Sawyer, who takes tha parts of Mrs. Major Campbell and the alzidiana girl, was. too ill to appear. Hei imniediately secured Katherine Lay a sister of Tim Mur- phy, to play the punt of Mrs. Can pbell, but was in a perplexed state of mind. con- cerning the other ehdeacter. Miss Abbott was mentioned to him and he determined to give her a trialz She appeared at the theater a little afters5 o'clock, and after going over her lines ence with Mr. Keen- an went on and gave an interpretation cf the part that-was much above the average. Her work was finished to a degree for the short time she had in which to rrepare herself and considering the fact that it was her first appearance before profession- al footlights. Miss’ Abbott has done a great deal of amateur dramatic work in this city and Manager Schubert 1s congrat- ulating himself that he has secured her for his company and at the same time steered clear of the difficulty which Miss Sawyer’s illness had brought io him. The Biograph.—Another lot new views were added today at the Blograph exhibi- tion at Willard Hall. New views are being put in almost daily. It is the intention of the management to change the program of views as often as possible, thus stimulating interest in the exhthition during the re- mainder of its stay in this city. The new ones added today were equal in interest to those which have proven so. popular. The attendance at the entertainments continues large, and during the next few days.a number of church and charitable benefits will ‘be given. Within the past two weeks upward of twenty-five new views have been placed on éxhibition, and the total number shown at each performance has been ma- terially increased. + The Colored Y. M. C. A.—Including this evening, there are but three opportunities now remaining to attend the fair at Odd Fellows’ Hall, M street northwest, as it closes on the night of Emancipation day. The managemert has a double attraction billed for this evening in. a_ proposed hi- cycle race between Messrs. Lee and Cor- nish, and a mysterious event for which a cake is to be awarded. They say it is not a “cake walk” this time, but will give no further information except at “headquar- ters.” Tomorrow is “‘ladies’ day’’ up to 8:30 p.m., and between 7 o'clock and that hour no male person will be allowed to enter. Not even the janitor. The occasion is a “basket ball game” between the ladies of the gym. class, under Miss Anita J. Turner, their instructress. After 8:30 p.m. the fair will be open to all, as usual. The Crystal Maze.—The Crystal Maze, at 427 7th street northwest, will positively close next Saturday, April 17, and the re- mainder of this week will afford the last opportunity to enjoy the fun and mystifi- cation of this novel and refined amuse- ment resort. Over 12,000 people have visit- ed the maze in the few weeks of its stay in Washington. It is impossible for the management, much as they would like, to continue exhibiting the maze in this city, and, therefore, all those who have not seen it yet ought to go, for they will never have a chance of seeing it again. Concert for the Cubans.—The concert to be given on Easter Sunday evening at the Columbia Theater for the Cuban hospital fund has been so well arranged that it will be a great success without a doubt. The program has been carefully prepared and talent of the :highest order engaged. The sentiment of the pedple has been clearly shown by their ready response to the appeal for help for thc sick and wound- ed in the hospitals ‘in Cuba, and their hearty co-operation as well. The commit- tees are more than satisfied with the re- sults this far, and feel that the growing interest in this concert will lead to greater results In the near: future. The entertain- ment will be brilliant from the beginning to the end. Tableaux of a realistic char- acter will be included in the program. The Vitascope.—The Vitascope is still draying crowded ‘houses, and scme even- ings there is only standing room. Several new pictures,"true to life jn their real ac- tion, have been added, making a beautiful assortment of subjects. -A-new and effect- ive feature of the‘exhibition is the Vita- scope dissolving view apparatus, which dis- solves one picture inte another with beau- tiful effect, winning -for itself much ap- plause. This. apparatus owes Its origin to the operator: of this. exhibition. The ser- vices of a New York ‘lecturer and enter- tainer have been, secured, who thoroughly describes each picture. The crowded houses demand that this exhibition will stay here all of this week. The C. A. €. Mnstrel Show.—One of the features in the olio which forms the second part of the minstrel show that the Colum- bla Athletic Club will give at the Columbia Theater on May 8 will be the spectacular athletic acts. A series of figures will be given that will be of an entirely difterent Class from anything ever presented here before. Instructor John Crossley has se- lected from his large corps of athletes a number of the most expert, and, after much training and many rehearsals, they have attained a degree of excellence that 1s re- markable in amateurs. The rehearsals for the minstrel portion of the program have gone steadily on, and so proficient have the different members become that the enter- tainment could be given tomorrow were it necessary. Bispham-Gregorowitsch.—The sale of seats for the Bispham-Gregorowitsch recital on Wednesday afternoon, April 21, opens at the Columbia tomorrow inorning. Mr. David Bispham is well known as the lead- ing baritone of the Metropolitan Opera Ccmpany. He $s an artist of the first wa- ter. and his song recitals in the metropolis draw large audiences. Mr. Chas. Gregoro- witsch. the Russian violinist, who appears with Mr, Bispham, is a young artist who has met with great success and proved a favorite in Boston, New York, Pittsburg and other cities. Mills’ Song Recital.—There is a traditional method and style of rendering sacred mu- sic handed down in English cathedrals which forms the finest possible’ school for woth soloist and chorister, as well-as or- | Royal, The Absolutely Pure Baking Powder. A word or two regarding the bottling of .Wampoie’s Elk Lithia“Spring Water. It is a well-known fact that the majority of waters on the marketi are: shipped in barrels, kegs: or carboys. Waters should never be handledin such containers, as they will'most undowubt- edly deteriorate. ampole’s Elk Lithia is bottled at the’spring only. It is hermetically sealed under water, so, therefore, ou will get the water in just as fresh a state as you would should you go to the spring to drink it. itis a ee. _ ask you to compare in appearance and medicinal: virtue to other mineral waters... - At druggists. DEWITT W. MERTZ, Manager, 613 15th st. wbl7-1m _ UR ganist. It ts this training that prepares the youth in an English choir for the more Jaeger work of soloist. Such a training fell to the lot of Mr. Walkins Mills, who gives a song recital at the Columbia next are rvion int ee = iat hens y choir of Pains- Wick, ie went to Mlouces er, but the beau- tiful quality of his voice, however, led friends to urge the young singer to’ visit London. There he placed himself in com- petent hands, with the result that he soon. went to Milan, there to study and prepare for grand opera. After mature considera- tion, he returned to England and oratorio and concert work, which has been his forte ever since. In June, 1895, he appetw- ed in the “Messiah,” at the Royal Albert: Hall, with Valleria, Patey and Edward Lioyd, receiving an ovation. In 1894 he sang in America at the Cincinnati, India- napolis, Wilkesbarre and Pittsfield fest!- vals—his tour was a triumph. The follow- ing winter he again returned, touring the west and He was again the soloist of the Cincinnati festival in 1806. “Killarney and the Rhine.”—Mr. J. Toole, the eminent German dialect com- edian, supported by Miss Lillian De Woolf and an excellent company of performers, will come to the Bijou Theater next week in Edward Jerome's brilliant. four-act drama, entitled “Killarney and the Rhine.” Mr. Jerome has never written a bad play, and to his credit be it said he has given the stage some of its most Pleasing produc- tions. “Killarney and the Rhine” is writ- ten in his happiest style, the elements of a dramatic work and fine comedy being ad- mirably combined. Of the company pre- senting the play nothing but words of praise can be said. Mr. Toole is well known for his excellent comedy work with the late W. J. Florence, the elder Emmet and other well-known stars. His support is evenly balanced and up to the standard. Mr. D. F. Hennessy, who was for three years with the Conried Opera Company, for several seasons at Schiitz’s Park, Mil. waukee, and at one time the manager of the Dickson Opera Company at the Grand Opera House in this city, is now with the Castle Square Company, ‘and is this week renewing his old acquaintanceships.

He Has Not Ammounced His Candi- dacy for the Senate. One of the Baltimore papers recently | printed-@ story stating that Mr. B. H. ‘arner had announced his candidacy for the United States Senate, to succeed Mr. Gorman, at the luncheon given by him to the Maryland Republican Editorial Asso- ciation last’ Monday. Speaking to a Star reporter today about the matter, Mr. War- ner said: “I have certathly never announced my ¢andidacy for the Senate, nor have I au- thorized any one else to do so. I have never ‘sought public office. My desire has been to be a useful citizen in private life. There are many others of my own party whose services and apntributions entitle them to honorabie preftrment before me. I shall be glad to fall in line-and work for them. Mr. Mudd’s remarks as to my aspirations were of a semi-humorous char- acter, not made for the purpose of launch- ing ‘a boom,’ as stated. I wanted the edi- tors to come to Washington and enjoy themselves, and I think they were pleased. They were gratified at meeting some of our prominent officials, and especially President McKinley, whose cordiality and sincerity of manner gave him a fresh hold upon them. “I have been interested in politics in Maryland for the past twenty years, more or less, and I am glad that it has been my good fortune to contribute in some degree to the development of its material interests as well as to the cultivation of political doctrines which I consider to be indis- pensable to the prosperity of the peopie— sound money and an honest bailot. “No. I am not a candidate. I will not deny that I sometimes have a slight long- ing for statesmanship, but there are so many able men who are willing to fight harder and make more sacrifices than I for brief political power that I prefer te let them be the candidates, and I will re- main, as in the past, ‘a dark horse.’ “I think,” sald Mr. Warner, “that the campaign in Maryland next fall will be very lively, and the man who wraps the mantle of Senator Gorman around his shoulders will have to rise very early in the morning and remain up late at night. No; just let me stay where I am, ‘a dark horse,’ and an active business man.” ——___. If you want anything, try ar ad. in The Star. If anybody has what you wish, you will get an answer.
