NEWS FROM THE PRECINCTS gen ee Members of the police force are looking forward with much interest to the parade and drill of the department, which is to take place the 15th of next month. Twice a week the company drills take place, and the sergeants in the different precincts, who are acting as drill masters, anticipate that the parade and drill will be the best ever held by the department. “ It is the intention of Major Moore to have the men form ten companies, one of them to be composed of mounted men, in charge of Lieutenant Kenny of the eighth pre- cinct. The sergeants in the several pre- cincts are taking a personal interest in the affair, and each hopes his company will make the best appearance on parade. Each precinct will be represented by a company of thirty-two men, and will march sixteea abreast. It is thought there wiil be in all about men in Ine. While the line of march has not yet been determined, the procession will undoubtedly Pass in review of the President and the District Commissioners, and the drilling will probably be done on, Vermont avenue, in front of the Arlington. Sergeant Daley, whe has charge of the fourth precin:t squad, is authority for the statement that the drilling will be better than is done by most crack military companies. Annual Report Complete.” Chief Clerk Sylvester has completed the annual repor: of the doings of the police department, and it will probably be sent 'to the Commissioners -soon after Major Moore's return from the mountains. It is expected that the major will retarn to- night or tomorrow, and the report may be sent in Friday. The report is to he es- pecially interesting this year, it is stated, comprising some new features not em- rodied in previous annual exhibits. The re- rty transactions of the department, as wel as those of the sanitary officer, hack inspeccor and humare agent, will be sent to the Com- missioners later. In the repert of Sanitary Officer Frank, which always treats of matters of interest, his recommendation concerning a house of detention will be renewed. Former re- ports have treated this subject at length. Recently in an annual report Officer Frank had this to say: “Subjects of insanity should receive es- pecial and considerate attention while in the temporary charge of the police au- thorities and while proceedings in de luna- tico inquirendo are pending. Before legal commitment to the hospital for the insane, a suitable place of detention should be provided, where the influences and general surroundings would be more beneficial to the patient than the noise, excitement and associations of the police cell. I think this a very important recommendation and trust it will meet with favor and proper ion. “T insist that the cell of a station house is not the place for detention, especially for violent cases requiring extraordinary care. The unwholesome influences that surround them in such a place are decided- ly unsuitable, especially when we remem- ber that some are females and of respecta- bility. Judge Pugh's Court. The new method of trying police officers for alleged infractions of the rulés of the manual, it is admitted, has given general satisfaction, and the fairness with which the court has dealt with the cases com- mends him to the members of the force as worthy of the appointment as judge of a more important tribunal. “Judge” Pugh, as he is called, has been the District pro: cutor for several years, and has come in contact with the members of the force so much that he is personally acquainted with nearly every officer, and he knows their gocd as well as their bad qualities. In the hearings of the charges against the men, he eliminates all questions of preju- dice and does not allow the asking of frivo- lous questions for the mere sake of ask- ing. Then, too, he feels at liberty to take more latitude than did the members of the old board, and when charges are made which are known from the evidence of the prosecution to be worthless, the persons filing the complaints are so informed, and the officer is not put upon his defense. It is hoped by the officers that the judge will be given authority to dispose of the cases at the time of trial, subject to appro’ of the Commissioners._ Question of Retirements. Because of the condition of the pension fund, it fs believ 2 that there will be no mcre retirements in the near future. The recent reductions of officers, 1n many cases, arounted to retirement, it is stated, and should there be some reliéf given by Con- gress at the coming session, many of those named will be transferred’ to the pension ro) Chief Clerk Sylvester, as well as many police officials, favors the adoption of ulation which will require the owners Yacant lots to keep them free of weeds These overgrown places, the police find, are geod hiding places for criminals, and have avsisted many ay pr of law to escape the eats y that a suggestion of this kind wil! be made to the Commis- Sanitary Officer, Sanitary Officer Frank bas the bu men in the e department this fall.

ROBERT MANTELL.—The box office of the New National will open tomorrow morning for the sale of seats for the en- gagement of Mr. Robert Mantell, which begins next Monday. There is a world of rich dramatic material in the intrigues end secret battles of the French court of a century and a half ago. Among those who have delved into this mine of romance with success is W. A. Tremayne in his play, “A Secret Warrant.” Robert B. Man- tell produced the drama, and plays the dashing character of a captain of King’s Guards with all the aplomb and vigor that distinguish his stage work. The period of the play is 1720, when the Duc d’Orleans, as regent, ruled France. In reality, hfs mistress, the unscrupulous Lady Gabrielle, Was a power behind the throne that worked the destines of the kingdom,by the strength of her beauty and an indomitable will. In this play wé see the bold.captain scorning the advances of the woman, and thus be- coming the object of her hate. The nat- ural consequence is that she obtains a let- tre de cachet, and casts the soldier into prison. How he escapes and finally turns the tables on the woman is wrought out by the author in an ingenious and effective way..As for Mr. Mantell, as Louis de Beaumont, he fills the picture with his virile. splendid personaiity, and another great silhouette of romance is added to the gallery that he has made famous in the Jast ten years. THOS. Q. SEABROOKE.—Thomas Q. Seabrooke, the well-known comedian, has returned to the comic opera stage. This is just what the public desire to see him most in, and this fact has been demonstrated by the crowded houses that have greeted him in his new opera, “Papa Gou Gou.” Sea- brooke is regarded as one of the most unc- tuous, versatile and clever comedians row before the footlights, whose sole duty it is to make people laugh, and he certainly ac- complishes this mission. The opera in which he plays the title role, “Papa Gou Gou,” is from the pens of J. Cheever Geod- win and Charles Alfred Byrne, with orig- inal music by William Furst. This trio are well-known as the makers of good comic operas, and in “Papa Gou Gou” they have the biggest success they have ever achieved. The book is bright, witty and most interesting. The music is Hight, tuneful and catchy. To sum the whole thing up in a nutshell, “Papa Gou Gou” was written to sparkle and amuse. The company supporting Mr. Seabrooke is a comp2tent one, and they are all well cast for their respective roles. Everything is new—scenery, costumes and properties. Af- ter playing at the Lafayette Square Thea- ter next week the piece goes to New York for a run. “IL TROVATORE.”—“The Fencing Mas- ter” is proving a strong drawing bill at the Columbia this week. Scenieally it is con- spicuous, and the cast of principles, to- gether with the large and capable chorus, give a spirited presentation of De Koven and Smith’s charming romantic opera comique. Itis one of the best productions the Castle Square Company has given us, and the opera will undoubtediy run through the week to large audiences. A popular ladies’ and children’s matinee will be given on next Saturday, as usual. Next week this favorite organization will be seen in a most pretentious pfoduction of the standard grand opera, “Il Trovatore.” which will be presented on a scale of magnificence never before equaled in this city for the prices of admission charged. The cast will include Grace Golden, Lizzie Macnichol, Ger'rude Rutledge, Josepli Sheehan, Melville Stew- art, William Wolff and others. EUGENIE BLAIR.—Eugenie Blair will present next Monday night her splendid portrayal of Mercy Merrick in Wilkie Col- Mins’ powerful story of “The New Magda- len,” which has been considered by many as his masterpiece. Miss Blair has won the highest commendation for her rendition of this character, and it may perhaps be said that its creation is her Sreatest achieve- ment. She is m every way fitted for the development of this absorbing and intensely interesting heroine, whose patifetic history Was the talk of both continents when the story was first written, and its dramatiza- tion has served to maintain its wonderful hold upon the theater-going public. An- other interesting,presentation will be given the latter part of the week, when Miss Blair will offer for the first time here her own in- terpretation of the role of “Carmen.” It is an undertaking worthy of this clever wo- man, and all of her admirers will be deeply desirous of witnessing her handling of this fascinating character. “The New Magita- len” will be given Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and at the matinee on Wednesday, and “Carmen” will be present- ed on Thursday and Friday nights and at the Saturday matinee, with the Saturday night's bill to be announced. “UNDER THE POLAR STAR.”—‘Under the Polar Star,” a romantic sp cular melodrama, depicting and reciting the ad- ventures of a number of hardy explorers in the northern sea, comes to the Grand Opera House next week. It is a big production, probably the most elaborate ever scen in this city, and of the kind that enlists the keenest enthusiasm of this master mind of stage craft. Three of the acts take place on the ship Polar Star, and among the ice- , the first act eccur- exterior the bergs of the far nort ring in Brooklyn. In the three scenes of acts two, three and four, stage will be unbroken, and a vast ¢: ramic perspective is obtained by the u over 500 feet of painted canvas encircling the rear and sides of the stage. In front of this the various scenes are set. The story of the play reads as follows: Silas Hamii- Rabon, and intrusts the command of his Brookiyn Heights, an ardent, enthusiastic and firm believer in the possibility of the discovery of the north pole. As ke is 100 old to undertake the hazardous enterprise he enlists the aid of a scientist, Achille Rabon, and entrusts the command of his ship, the Polar Star, to his brother, John Hamilton. His two nephews, Harry Carie- ton and William Brandon, officers in the United States navy, sre respectively first officer and surgeon’ of the vessel. Wash- ington Post, a newspaper man, and Alexy, an Esquimaux gu , are other important characters in the expedition. Before sail- ing, Willlam Brandon, who is in love with Helen Blaine, poisons’ his uncle, —her guardian, who knowing him to be a scoun- drel had determined to prevent the arrang- ed marriage. ‘The blame of the murde falls upon Harry Carleton, Brandon's cousin, and his rival.

Can't you manage ‘to give an extra matinee—say on Friday next—in order to gratify my curi- osity?” To this: Miss Blair has responded: “I highly appreciate your request, and shall be pleased to present ‘East Lynne’ for a special performance on Friday after- noon. It shall be my best endeavor to gain your. approval.” It is expected that the performance Friday afternoon will be in the nature of a professional matinee, as none of the other houses will be open and the compantes playing there will all be anx- ious to see Miss Blair in “East Lynne.” —-—— : $1.25 to Baltimore and Return via B. : and 0.
