COLUMBIA THEATER.— Notwithstand- ing this is just in the center of summer, and the fashionable contingent of the cap- ital is out of town, the American love for titles was shown last night in the audience, which comfortably filled the Columbia The- ater. to receive the “Marquis of Michigan,” who appeared for the first time last night. “The Marquis of Michigan,” by the way, is a sparkling comedy by Glen McDonough ard Edwin Townsend, produced under the management of Mr. E. Rosenbaum. The play is a story of the heroic devotion of a young man to an adoptive daughter, who is to be cut out of her share in an estate, but is saved by the young man, who mar- Ties the female Sandow of a vaudeville company and permits the testator to paint the will on his back all to save the girl's fortune whom he marries, believing that the other woman is dead. But she isn’t; hence the play. Eleven people are required to play this play, George P. Nash, as Ned Harkaway, being the hero; Marion Giroux, as Helen Hastings, whose fortune he saves; Chas. J. Jackson, as Bob Tyke, an invesior in wild oats, and playing a part in the fe- Tale Sandow’s company; George Barnum, as a Sing Sing artist, not opera sing sing, by the way; Robert Paten Gibbs, as Senor Maginnice, who saves the hero by showing he was the husband of the strong womal W. H. Porter, sheriff of Hopkins county, } Y.; Daisy Loveing, as Tony Tostevin, at- torney-at-law; Miss Eva Davenport, as Madame Aetna Vesuvius, and Miss Sadie Stringham, as Mrs. Bunn, with her two daughters, Georgina and Evelina; Miss Pixley and Miss Mollison. There is a lot in the play, bright lines and funny situations, and the climax of every act is good, although the ending of the piece is rather abrupt. The whole play 4s or can be made very funny, and with a lot of go in it. Manager Rosenbaum has hit upon good people for all of his charac- ters, with one or two exceptions, and the women are unusually good looking. The one great part in the play is Madame Aet- na ‘Vesuvius as done by Eva Davenport, and she will make it a notable character if she has a chance to keep at it through the season. Aided by Mr. Jackson, a most ex- cellent fo!l to her largeness, the two can work out a team part superior to Marie Dressler and ob Daily in “Lady Slavey.”” What the play is now it will not be when we see it again, and if it is not built up into one of the popular successes it will be because somebody doesn't know how to handle the material now in hand. NATIONAL THEATER—The _ second week of the Frederic Bond Company opened so auspiciously last night at the National as to make it regrettable that it is to be also the last. At least so say the bills, and they must be true. The play selected was “The Paper Chase,” a three- act comedy, by Charles Thomas, not new, but played so well as to make it better than new. Mr. Bond, in the part of Mr. Busby, though modestly almost subordi- nate, did the best work among the men, as he usually does in summer companies. Mr. Bond, 1s a good actor, and he plays with such unction that it very nearly conceals the defects. Miss Maude Haslam, as Mrs. Baskerville, was a charming and consum- mate flirt, and Miss Refmer as Mrs. Pom- fret bore the burden of it with amusing protestations. A character of pretty per- sonality was Nellie Busby, as done by Miss Maud Allen, and Mr. ‘Courtenay, as Capt. Kirby, would have merited punish- ment if he had not played lover to her with artistic soulfulness. Mr. Arbuckl was a most jealous husband, and tore hi hair with becoming frenzy. The other parts in che cast were satisfactorily played. GLEN ECHO-ON-THE-POTOMAC.—One of the largest crowds that has yet put in an appearance at beautiful Glen Echo-on- the-Potomac witnessed the vaudeville per- fcrmance in the immense ampitheater last night. Manager Middleton provided a charmirg list of attractions for his visit- ors, and the entertainment afforded was sufficient to meet all the requirements for the trip to this new place of amusement for Washington. Glen Echo is one of the nost charmingly beautiful spots in the hear vicinity of the city and thousands of Washington's best people can testify to the comfort and the enjoyment that is to be fcund there. The vaudeville bill last night Was witnessed by about 3,000 persons, and yet the large ampitheater easily afforded seating facilities. The first number was a couple of selections by the Fadettes, who have justly earned a reputation in Was irgton for their excellent work. They were followed by Byron G. Harlan, the pleasing western tenor, who was given quite a reception. His singing was one of the features of the evening. Master Rob- ert Emmet Walsh, a Washington boy, charmed his hearers with his sweet so- prano voice, while the Madrigals, Messrs. Yundt, Ford and Holmes, were obliged to give a number of selections before they were allowed to depart. An exhibition of the Lumiere Cinematographe with some ex- cellent views closed the performance. > EXCURSIONS. For the amusement of the children, Cap- ain Randall has arranged for Miss Grace Shannon, the well-known acronaut, to e an ascension at River View tomorrow even- ing at 4 o'clock, so that the little folks can have an opportunity to see her and then return home on the 5 p.m. boat if they so desire. This will be a novel experience for the young people of Washington, and doubtless many mothers will take their children to the View so that they may see Miss Shannon's courageous feat. The chute and other attractions afford amusement to all, and for those who are fond of it there is music and dancing all day. Tomorrow the Steamer Pentz will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m., and will leave Riv- er View at 12: 5, $ and 10:30 p.m. The best of meals will be served in the View dining room. Tonight the postponed excursion of the Catholic Knights of Sc. Joseph's Church will take place. For the former date a program most elaborate and novel in its character had been planned. This will be given. not omitting a single detail, and as it was the endeavor of the gentlemen having charge of the amusements that something cut of the ordinary should be furnished the guests, it is an assured fact that they have been successful. In ad ion to the special features of the program, the usual amus ments at Marshall Hall will be indulged in. ‘There will, of course, be dancing, for which Schroeder's Band will furnish the music. A large number of tickets had been sold for the July date, which will all be good on this trip. With the additional sale during the past few days, there is sure to be a big crowd. The Macalester leaves at 6: p.m. The excursion of the Society of St. Vin- cent de Paul of St. Dominic's Church goes te Marshall Hall tomorrow night. There is no society in Washington that has ‘more friends than this. The purpose of the order makes friends for it all the while, and, wken the tickets were put on sale a boat lead of guests were guaranteed on the start. A bill for the entertaining of the friends and members been prepared that is full of new features and pleasant surprises. There will be music and dancing, of course, from the time the boat lands until the last whistle blows for the depart- ure from the Hall. These hot days ft ts Most agreeable to get away from the heat at night, and especially when the opportu- nity 1s offered to go with so jolly a crowd as the members of the de Paul Society. The Macalester will leave tomorrow night at 0 o'clock. ——.—___ Anti-Saloon League Meeting. A regular meeting of the Anti-Saloon Leegue was held last evening, when twen- ty-two organizations were represented. It developed that measures are being taken for a series of Anti-Saloon League revival meetings the coming fall. The CE. Society of Union Methodist Episcopal Church was admitted to the league, the society voluntarily pledging a mcnthly payment in support of the work. The aggregate number of organizations now in the league is 101. ‘The meeting was addressed by Capt. J. 8. B. Hartsough in a speech especially re- lating to the effective work of women in the effort to suppress the saloon.

Lee Camp, Corfederate Veterans, held last evening, the camp was presented with a handsome flag by the Ladies’ Auxiliary So- clety. The barner is an exact copy of the old 17th Virginia Regiment battle flag now in the possession of Lee camp. It is made of bunting, and is an excellent piece of handiwork. It is to be used as a pall in place of the old battle flag, now tattered and torn. The ladies were received in the rooms of the camp by Past Commander Thomas Perry and Lieut. Commander Wycoff. The flag was presented with appropriate re- marks by Mrs. J. H. Alexander. Com- mander G. Wm. Ramsay responded on th part of the camp. The meeting was a most Pieasant and memorabie one. Some little routine business of interest to members only was transacted. County Tax Levy.

Stearns claimed that the assault provoked by the woman taking food from his house to Ernest Wilson, a well-known character, who is wanted by the police. Stearns claimed that his wife took some food to Wilson yesterday, and on her return he reproved her for it, and finally struck her.

Grand Jury Returns an Indictment in Each of Two Cases. The grand jury has reported an indict- ment against Eugene de Mitkiewicz, charg- ing false pretenses. The party named, who bears the title of “count,” is well known to the Washington public. The presentment sets forth that May 8 1896, Mitkiewicz falsely represented to James T. Hunter of No. 812 12th street that a compromise had been effected between himself and other persons in regard to certain conflicting claims as to the proper distribution to be made of an estate in Massachusetts. From the estate Mitkiewicz is said to have de- clared he would receive $20,000. By such representation, it is stated, he secured a lcan of $25 from Mr. Hunter. The indict- ment accuses Mitkiewicz of false pretenses for the reason that no compromise had been effected, and that it was not his in- tentfon to use. the borrowed money as he declared he would. A second count of the indictment charges Mitkiewicz with securing $100 from Le2 Hoover, June 27, 1896, by false pretenses. The grand jury has also indicted Charles E. Baker for false pretenses. Baker, it is said, by falsely pretending that he needed money to pay the funeral cxpenses of a de- cased brother, secured $23 from John G. Glover, $40 from C, K. Macey and $25 from Claude S. Forrest.
