It was the intention of the Photographers’ Association of America, which gave the statue, to have it placed in some locality on the grounds, but as a site was not selected the memorial was placed temporarily in the Museum building. This change is made at this time because of the work that {s now going on in building galleries in the main halls, so as to provide much needed space for ex- hibits. . ———— Before Icaving the city for the summer Store or sell your furniture at Sloan's, 1407 G street.

The handsome residence, with the con- tents, of Mr. Judson B. Hurd, a clerk in the pension office, living on Providence street between lith and 15th streets northeast, Brookland, was -totally destroyed by fire between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning. The loss on the house is estimated at $2,500, and on furniture, $00, on which the insur- ance was $1,500. The blaze from the burn- ing building attracted the attention of Sergt. Slattery and Policemen Hess and Barbee of the eighth precinct and Knupfer of the ninth, all of whom speedily arrived at the scene, but they were unable to do anything toward saving the property. Mr. Hurd, who is a well-known fancier of chickens, had in his cellar a number of in- cubators, and it fs thought the fire was by some means started from one of them. ———__ Unclaimed freight from Adams Express Company to be sold at Radcliffe, Sutton & Co., auctioneers, tomorrow at 10 a.m.—Advt. — Will Take an Excursion. The sons of old Columbian are looking forward with much pleasure to the big ex- cursion to Marshall Hall, which is to be given Wednesday, June 2, under the au- spices of the Columbian women. The pro- ceeds from the excursion are to go for the purchase of apparatus for a university gymnasium, a department that the univer- sity is very much in need of. The excur- sion will be largely attended by former students of the university, and a big col- lege time is anticipated. Mr. Arthur Yont, with twenty guitar and mandolin players from the ranks of the students, will be along, and the day will be made pleasant by the rendition of the college songs. The excursion will be under the direction of the following committee: Mrs. A. P. Montague, Mrs. J. H. Lewis, Mrs. D. K. Shute and Misses Edna Clark, J. M. Duvall, Clara Crew and Anna S.

AMUSEMENTS. - Coiumbia Theater Stock Company di 1 ight_i hi et; { wel-toowa Salt See EE Fics pliment to Mr. Gilbert's poetic fancy and ment which a theme so well worn is cal- culated to arouse fades before the {n- genious fun which it is made to produce. The piece was admirably played, and the audience that had braved the rain was well repaid for its ‘couffge. Mr. James O. Barrows worked without ceasing in the role of the business man, with whose dc- mesticity the vivified statue plays such havoc. His performance won anew the plaudits that were lavishly accorded to his work last week. It is evident that Mr. Barrows does not propose to rest on his laurels, and that he will cause himself to be wished for from season tu season by the play-goers of this city, who enjoy a spirited interpretation of good comedy. Mr. A. 8. Lipman played the role of the lack-a-daisi- cal young man acceptably. The part, how- ever, is not one calculated to put him on his mettle. Katherine Gray was the statue-heroine, and her absolute fidelity to the spirit of the piece; the calm dignity. with which she projected glaring anachron- isms of manner and speech into the home of “Peter Amos Dunn” were irresistibly funny. Miss Grayce Scott is a blythe, sou- brettish young woman, who, as the irre- pressible child, added a charming dash of bright color to the scene. The entire com- pany played with a finish which not only reflected individual credit on the members, but which commanded hearty recognition of the skill of the stage manager, Mr. Henry Bergman. “Niobe” is to be com- mended as a comedy which is humorous without being vulgar, and intellectual with- out being pedantic. Its selection for re- vival by this company was a happy thought. LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. —Washington seemingly never tires of ligh: opera, and when it comes to patronizing a production of the well-known “Mikado,” there is no question raised about the ex- cellence of the company presenting it—the public simply attends and leaves the rest to Providence. Last nisht, happily, those who attended the performance of this tune- ful and popular work at the Lafayette Square Opera House by the Castle Square Opera Company were amply repaid in this particular, and although the “Mikado” has made h's entrance many times in this city, it can be said that the opera has never been better done than it was last evening. In line with the former productions of this ccmpany the opera was staged beautifully, while the costumes and other accessories were fully in keeping with the stage set- tings. The chorus, too, did as good work as it has in any of the former operas present- ed, and this is saying a good deal when its spendid work in “Faust” and “Carmen” is remembered. So far as the cast was con- cerned, there was probably not a single fault to be found. Joseph Sheehan made a distinct success out of the part of the sec- end.trombone, and in his wandering min- strel song, and in the kiss duet with Yum Yem displayed his splendid voice to the best advantage. Raymond Hitchcock made a distinct hit. He was funny as Ko-Ko, and the part was easily his best work ef the season. W. Carleton did the proud, sreering Pooh Bah, and sang and acted it to the eminent satisfaction of his audience, while Frank Wooley and Joseph Weissman as Nee-Ban and Pish-Tush were fully in keeping with his work. Mr. Cunningham's oice, while not the bass of the regulation “Mikado,” showed up well in the part. The ladies of the company, cast and chorus, probably appeared to better advantage in Japanese costumes than they have in any of the productions given. The three little maids, In the persons of Grace Golden as Yum Yum, Norma Kopp 4s Pitti Sing, and Alice Judson as Peep Bo, were certainly attractive in appearance, and their work was appreciated. Norma Kopp made her debut in the part of Pitti Sing, and both in evenness of singing and intelligence in act- ing was the best of the three. Miss Jud- son made an attractive-looking Peep Bo, and sang her few lines well. Miss Bart- lett, both dramatically and vocally, carried off a large share of the honors as Katisha. The “M‘kado” should have a most success- ful run this week, both on account of the Pepularity of the opera and the way in which it is put on by the Castle Square Opera Company. The encores were fre- avent, and some of the well-known num- bers had to be-repeated several times. THE NATIONAL.—Mr. John P. Clum of California presented an interesting and in- structive lecture at the National Theater last night, In honor of the universal postal union, the guests of the nation, who at- tended in a body. For the convenience of those not conversant with English, hand- some descriptive programs in French were provided. The lecture, illustrated by 200 beautiful views in colors, described a jour- ney around the United States, beginning at New York, going south, via Washington, to Florida, thence west, via New Orleans, over the Southern Pacific, through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California to San Francisco. From San Francisco the lecturer took his guests north tc Alaska, thence back, via Northern Pacific, to Yel- lowstone Park, through the lakes, to Ni- agara, and ended the trip in Washington amid a burst of glory, applause and the red, white and blue. Really, a better way of giving our foreign visitors a satisfac- tory idea of the wonders of this country could scarcely be devised, and not a dele- gate among them today but feels that the United States is a more wonderful land than he had before imagined. In addition to the delegates, were many not strangers, who came of their own accord, and who, in this special collection of pictures, were instructed and delighted no less than the guests of the evening. Among the distin- guished visitors were Vice President Ho- bart, Postmaster General Gary, Secretary } | Alrinterested Gage, Senator Chandler, M. Ausault of France, Mr. Svendsen of Denmark, Mr. Heyerdahl of Norway, Mr. Schlytern of Sweden, Mr. Garfias of Mexico, Mr. Ye, the Corean minister; ex-Governor Hoyt, who represents Corea at the postal con. gress; Mr. Preda of Hungary; Mr. Have- lear, Mr. Van der Veen and Mr. Perk of the ‘Netherlands; Mr. Szalay of Hungary, Mr. Zapata-Vera of Mexico, Gen. Batchel- ler, president of the congress; Third As- sistant Postmaster General Hazen, Mr. Fritsh and Dr. Neumann of Germany, Mr. Sterpin of Belgium, Mr. Santos of Bo- livia, Mr. Florez of Spain, Mr. Chavez of Mexico and Saba Pasha of Egypt, nearly all of whom were accompanied by ladies and guests. THE BIOGRAPH.—This is positively the last week of the Biograph at Willard’s Hall, and those who desire to see the very latest wonder of the world should go before it is too late. This, the last, week is popular with various charity organizations, the entertainment today being for the benefit of the Fletcher M. E. Church; on Wednes- day the Sixth Presbyterian; on Thursday for the, Cuban Hospital Fund, under the auspices of the Women’s National Cuban League, and on Friday the Washington Wellesley Alumnae Association. Remember that this is positively the final week. Ex- hibitions at 2:30, 4:30 and 8:15 p.m. FOR THE STRANDED ACTORS.—The program for the benefit to be given at the Bijou Family Theater tonight in aid of the stranded members of the Buckler Stock Company is about made up and offers an attractive variety of entertaining features. There is enough material arranged for to give a three hours’ entertainment and a perusal of the bill shows that the enter- tainment will be well worth the patronage which may be bestowed upon it. The full Program includes Charles N. Mack, the Irish comedian, late of Murphy and Mack; Deltino, the man of forms, direct from Koster and Bial’s, New York; Elsie Lower, fancy dancer; John Terrell, comic, sent mental and descriptive vocalist; Mr. COLUMBIA THEATER —Having steered safely between the Scylla of a new author and the Charybdis of a new company, the sted y_of which invites classical allusion.

The program will be reproduced in its entirety, all of the group dances, which attracted such favorable notice then, being given. KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—A score of pretty and shapely maidens, coupled with a first-class company of mer- ry makers, compose Harry Seamons’ Ex- travaganza. Company, which is the attrac- tion at Kernan’s this week. The perform- ance is a good one in many respects. It epens with a laughable concociion of mirth and merriment, entitled “A Lawn Party,” introducing the strength of the company and a number of first-class specialties. Pauline Black was entertaining in her songs, and Beulden and Griffin made the welkin ring with their musical specialty. Evans and Huffman contributed a neat specialty, Miss Huffman doing a capital impersonation of a man.- Lizzie Hayes was heard in appropriate songs, and the com- edy skit of Les lo, McDowell and Beach was laughable. Louise Carver impersonated. Paqverette, the gay Parisienne, and the Armstrong Brothers gave a parody on all the popular songs. Master Marty Seamon, as the Bowery boy, was clever. The per- formance closes with a potpourri of songs, dances and witty sayings, mixed together and dubbed “When New York Sleeps.” ee A SPLENDID VESSEL. Its Model on Exhibition at Droop’s Music Store. Many persons pause daily in front of E. F. Droop & Son's music store, No. 925 Penn- sylvania avenue, to admire the beautiful model there on exhibition of the North German Lioyd steamer Barbarassa, She Is one of the six new twin screw steamers of the North German Lloyd line, which are specially designed for carrying heavy cargoes. and, at the same time, to accom- modate large numbers of passengers. The Barbarassa registers over 10,000 tons, and with a draft of 28 feet has a displace- ment of 20,000 tons, while her cargo ca- pacity, including the space for third-class passengers, is 9,500 tons. The cabin is ar- ranged for rthing 100 first-class pas- sengers, ard 76 of the second-class. The model in Droop’s window is an ex- act reproduction on a mathematical scale of the magnificent vessel, its counterpart in every particular, Inside and outside, and is well worth examining. —— Flowers and Decorations for Com- mencements!
