Wilson, a clerk in the of- of the auditor of the treasury for the Post Office Department, died yesterday at kis home, 619 L street northeast, after an illness of one year, during which he under- went three severe surgicaPoperations. Capt. Wilson was a native of the state of New York, and entered the Union service in 1861, in the 33d New York Infantry. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Wil- liamsbure, Va., May 5, 18, and confined in Libby prison. When finally exchanged, he was mustered out of service, and imme- diately joined the 148th New York Volun- teers, then in process of organization. While serving with that regiment, he was ccmplimented in general orders for great bravery in performing a perilous duty, and ccmmissioned as first Heutenant in Decem- ber, 1863. From that time until the end of the war he was attached to the staff of Gen. Collis, and was long assistant pro- yest marshal at City Point. For a time after the war he resided in Texas* where he neld the positions of chief of police of c lveston and deputy United States mar- si ‘ elve years he has been connected with the Treasury Department, and has re- sided in Washington, where he formed a quaintances, winning as a member of Lin- of Pentalph: Columbia R.

AMUSEMENTS. THE NEW NATIONAL THEATER.— Within a comparatively few years Mr. Wilton Lackaye has succeeded in taking a most enviable rank on the American stage. Having by careful and intelligent work built the foundation for a conspicuous suc- cess, he has, by subsequent performances of artistic merit, clinched his title to the ercomiums showered upon him. The audience that greeted him at the New National Theeter last night was ob- viously predisposed in his favor. It greet- ed him with an enthusiasm which showed that rot only the clientele which loyally loves to welcome him as a Washington man was ready with its plaudits, but that the colder contingent which regards him as a star in the general firmament has learned to put full faith in what he has to offer. “A Royal Secret” 1s, notwithstanding the suggestion of story-paper fiction conveyed by its title, an almost audacious attempt to blend scholarship with material which will catch and hold the popular interest. It cannot be complained of as lacking op- portunities for Mr. Lackaye to exert his powers, nor are the other members of an excellent cast neglected. The plot is in- genious and intricate at times to the verge of obscurity. But, there {s never a doubt that Jean Mondoty as portrayed by Mr. Lackaye is one of naiure’s noblemen; that :olas as played by that favori:e actor, s, is a most lovable and man; that Armande Bec u- pre as presente] by Miss Fanny Melntyre is a heroine worthy of the devotion she nspires, nor that Margot, the part taken »y Miss Alice Evans, is a sweet, bright and jolly bit. of fer Mr. Alexander Kearney has much to do as Louis XIV of France and as the man in the iron mask, and he does it ail w: There is one incident in the piece so pow- erful that it merits description. The actor, Jean Mondory, finds that his sweetheart js the object of the king's lecherous ad- miration. Mondcry is to play ‘Hamlet’ for the king, and after reciting the solil quizing beginning, “‘to be or not to be,” is driven to so intense a degree of jealousy by’ the king's attentions that he breaks down in his acting and denounces the sov- ereign in the presence of the court. The soliloquy won for Mr. Lackaye applause, which was + warm tribute to his powers as a Shakespearean reader. The gradual merging of the actor's mimicry into the fierce outcry of a jealous husband's heart called for rare skill, both in the authcrship and in the interpretation, and another and greater outburst of enthusiasm from the auditorium gave recognition of thorough craftsmanship. An unemotional scrutiny of “A Royal Se- cret” as a drama might suggest that sym- metry of design seems sacrificed for the sake of brisk action and that climaxes would be more stirring if they were le: lavishly offered. But who shall be unemo- ticnal when actors are magnetic and when lives and honors are at stake? Besides, the fact remains that brisk action and climaxes the public must have, while it has in numerous imstances showed the most benign toleration for a lack of sym- metry. So well pleased was the audience at the close of the second act that it demanded a curtain speech from Mr. Lackaye. And, this demand not being acceded to, the demonstrations were repeated at th2 close of the third act as a <oicen that subse- quent events had in nowise dulled the ear- lier approval. Mr. Lackaye resolutely 1e- fused all invitations to display his talents as an extemporaneous speaker, hearty and takabl: a were. “A Royal Secret” tells an interesting story, presents some well-drawn characters, an gives renewed assurance that Mr. Lack- aye's capabilities are far from being limit- ed to the interpretation of the gruesome. LAFAYETTE SQUARE THEATER.—The opera written by Victor Herbert and Harry B. Smith for Camille D’Arville and styled Peg Woffington,” as produced at the La- yette Square Theater last night, w all ngs corsidered, one of the most satis- factory werks of the kind that has been seen here for a long time. The opera it- is tuneful, there are some excellent to it, although at times there is a di jon to lose the thread of the stor both the cast and chorus were in- ly and collectively good. The stage as well as the costumes and other ies were all that could be desired ard the whole production may be styled a distinctive success. Victor Herbert seems to have done some of his very best work in “Peg Wooffington.” The solos, duets and heruses are not only catchy, but may be called good music as well, while the orche: tration of the opera is something beautiful. The story of it has been told in these columns and it is sufficient to say, as a re- minder, that the piot is woven around an incident in the life of the famous English actre It has been hinted that Camille D'Arville got ahead of the fair Lillian, who also wanted an opera written for her on this line, and the character of the work while does give evidence of this tale. Miss D’Arville is given ample opportunity to show her vocal accomplishments, in fact, almost to the overshadowing of the others in the cast, but those who attended last night were there to hear her and they wild not have remonstrated had she sung the whole opera by herself. Her dramatic wark was a feature as well singing last night. and all through she seemed to be thoreughly imbued with the spirit of her part. Miss D’Arville perted by Hugh Chilvers, whe constitutes the incident ney as Lady Betty, the heiress who is the means of cnticing Adair’s love from Peggy; Snitz Edwards as Mat Bowsiring; Albert Hart as Joe Wattles, the head of a troup of strolling players; R. W. Guise as ¥ Firelock, and Lettie Lyford, Ada Somers, Rose Krohe, Austin Walsh, Archie Hughes, J. S. Jones, Ernest De Horn and George Layton in acceptably portrayed small par The comely element in the opera is sup- plied by Albert Hart, and the only thing that is needful in a criticism of his work is to say that De Welf Hopper may well Le inchined to look upon him with fee s Capt. Adair, Maud Court- of the liveliest kind of concern. Mr. Hart has a good singing voice, an extremely comical personality and the ability to throw his nimble legs into several hundred tioas. He made a complete success of part lust night aad secured a quad- ruple encore of the catchy bagpipe song. Snitz Edwards has the second comedy part, nd one fault to find with the opera is that it does not give him enough chance to show his capabili in that line. Hugh Chilvers has a round, robust, high baritone of but a fair qu makes up for hi: his good stage work was also £ good officer in hi: ity, however, although he k in this direction by a His dramatic majesty!s service and cecupied, it is presumed, the third comedy rol The chorus is one of the best that has been heard here witn any company. All of its numbers e sung with precision of at- a tremendous volume and with all evidence of thorough training. The chorus was particularly fine, as was the choral with the orchestra in’ the first uct, in which the almost perfect neing of the choir of singers was plainly in evidence. The costuming of the second act one of the features of the preduction. Victor Herbert believes | in giving the chorus plenty of opportunities for the display of its work and in the tea- cup chorus, the dice-box chorus and a half a dozen other concerted numbers the op- portunities were all taken and worked up to a high state of perfection. COLUMBIA THEATER.—Seldom has a Shakesperean production been presented in Waskington with such attention to stage tings and scenic effects as characterized s Margaret Mather’s presentation of ‘Cymbeline” at the Columbia Theater last night. Herself the central figure, of course, she gathered about her a company which included several persons of talent, and gave them a background for their work in forest, field and court of realistic stage effects. The audience appreciated the ef- forts to please them in this direction, and found applause every time the curtain rose as some hew scene was presented to view. Wile “Cymbeline” may be lack at times in the dramatic intensity of some other Shake- sperean dramas, it presents one of Shake- speare’s noblest female characters in the person of Imogen. It is probably the reali- zation of this fact which has led Miss Ma- ther to select “Cymbeline” us one of her favorite plays. Her interpretation of the character of Imogen follows closely the great author's exposition of it. Miss Ma- ther’s redundancy of health at times pre- sents rather a startling contrast between the Imogen visible to the eye, and the Imogen suggested by the imagination through Shakespeare's lines. This is not so noticeable, however, when she simulates the part of a boy and exaggerates her feminine fears and instincts. Imogen, the author makes her, embadies woman’s noblest traits, constancy, scornful resent- ment of anything which threatens a blem- ish upon honor’s escutcheon, and in this case that power, inherent in such bright and lovable dispositions, to rally quickly from the effects of 1 fortune when the fates smile again. Miss Mather’s exposi- tion of these features of character won her tack, audits from the audience and called her Betore the curtain several baer peas tan = ny is not a large one, an macinbeae is likely to dim the luster of the star. Mr. Mark Price as Iachimo had more opportunities for a display of talent than any of his colleagues, and used them well. Mr. Lynn Pratt's Pisanlo, however, demonstrated his ability to do good work in a larger part. Mr. B. T. Ringgold’s Clo- ten was a most natural presentation of the vain and boastful son of the queen. Mr. Tho! Coleman, known by theater goers as having performed good work in tig: past, surprised his friends last night by an ex- cess of declamation in the part of Posthu- mus. Miss Grace M. Huyck’s queen was well rendered, and these who witnessed her performance expect to see her cast in a more satisfying part some day. The oth- er members of the company acted their parts in a creditable manner and wita uni- ferm smoothness, indicating that the com- pany is well harmonized. “‘Cymbeline” will be repeated tonight, and tomorrow night Miss Mather will appear in ‘Romeo and Juliet.” It was as Juhet that Miss Mather made much of the reputation justly hers, id those who have seen her impersona- tion of the character, especially in the balcony scene, cheerfully accord a gener- ous meed of praise for her work. She emits nothing which should be given atten- tion, and her scrupulous fidelity to ,.the character and grasp of detail do much to render her Juliet a reality. The company is a good one and the staging of the play magnificent, while the lighting and acces- sory effects are in keeping with the char- acter of the play and players. The cos- tumes are rich and tasteful and of the period of the play. The minuet dancing of \the first act is said to be most quaint and | Braceful. ACADEMY OF MU A thrilling and amusing play of the Itussian empire, “In the Name of the Czar,”” was presented at the Academy of Music last evening, the upper part of the house being thrilled and the lower part amused. The play Cepicis the diabolical plot of Norman Darrell, gov- ernor of the Fortress of Krana, assisted by Christof Kerovitch, renegade, and Iva Ferona, a spv of the secret police, to put away Alexis Silvitch, a Heutenant of the Imperial Guard. ‘Their efforts, no matter how carefully planned, however, are al- ways frustrated by Hector Dilworth, a wealthy American and a ciassmate at Yale of the persecuted man. The scenery and costumes are excellent, and throughout the piece runs the humor of larney O'Brien, Darreli's groom, and Marie, a waiting maid. ‘The company 1s a fair one, the women be:ng particuiarly attractive. As the American @¥. L. Keanan invariably won the tumultuous applause of the au- dience, while James R. McCann as the governor of the fortress made himself such ® villainous valiain as to be met with a storm of hisses each time he made his ap- pearance. J. &. McDonough as the rene- gade did some excellent work, and Gay Rhea as the mother of Lieut. Silvitch ren- dered her part well, although youthfully eressing it. The other parts were played in such a manner as to merit the applausa of the large audtense present. GRAND OPERA HOUSE.—The Grand Opera House was crowded from parquet to gallery last night with an enthusiastic audience brought together to witness the pepular and sensational inelo-drama, “On the Bowery. The play was here last sea- son, with Steve Brodie as the bright par- ticular star, and made a decided hit. This season Brod{e has (aken to the vaude- ville stage and “Chuck” Conners is shin- ing in his place. As a side partner Con- ners has the versatile and always funny Frank Bush. While Conners was doing the heroic Bush was elther assisting him in the same line or convulsing the house with hiS original humor. The play is in four acts and takes the audience from the palatial residence of a real estate broker to the Bowery, from the Brooklyn bridge to a pier on the East river and then back to the aforesaid palatial residence again. ‘Throughout these acts numerous charac- ters that are supposed to exist in New Yerk are seen in entertaining specialties, the best of these being the tramp imperso- naion of Willa: Mitchell. The scene on the Bowery in “Chuck” Conners’ saloon is the best of the play, the fun being fast and furious and of a highly striking character. The scenery carried by the company is very elaborate and realistic, the East river pier and the Brooklyn bridge being espe- cially praiseworthy, owing to its truthful- ness and the attention given to all the little details. “On the Bowe ‘y” is a win- ner, and the business done during the com- ing week will no doubt be large. BIJOU THEATER.—Although the me down in torrents last night, the au- dience at the Bijou crowded into every inch of space to enjoy what portended to be the best performance of the season. Nor were they disappeinted, for with J. K. Emmett as the shining light, the tractions were all stellar. Emmett pre- Rented a comedetta in conjunction with Miss Anna Mortland, entitled “A Hone moon in Harlem Flats.” It proved a pretty story, with all the necessary elements to bring out the abilities of these two dra= matic stars. Emmett, with the abllity of his father, was instalied a favorite, and the audience applauded him again and again for his cleverness. In Miss Mort- land he has an able helpmate. She read her lines with much force and dramatic skill and gave a realistic performance of the giddy young wife. The olio was re- plete with good things. Edward R. Lang, the tramp monologist, caught the house With his witticisms, and Byron G. Harlan illustrated several popular songs. The Orvilles contributed a thrilling perform- ance in the air on the trapeze, and Newell and Chinquilla repeated their musical suc- ccs. Notwithstanding the large additional expense the management of the Bijou has been put to this week, the popular pri remain the same, and for 10 cents the entire performance may be seen from a comfortable seat. The prices run up to 36 cents, and there stop. The continual performance plan still prevails, and from 1:0 in the afternoon to 10:30 at night the shew is going. The idea, which is new in Washingten, is rapidly catching on, and big business is the watchword every week. KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—With or two exceptions, the entertainment nted by Al Reeves’ Burlesque Com- t Kernan’s this week is above the average. With a score of pretty girls, a wealth of new costumes and two clever burlesques to show them off, there was little fault to find with the opening per- formance last night. “McFadden and Dugan’s Tribulations,” a rehesh of McFadden’s Flats of last year, epened the show. The burlesque has been sufficiently rewritten to possess entertain- ing feature: d the comedians are fun- pier than ever. In truth, whatever the performance. lacks in detail {s made up by the roaring situations and the new and taughable jokes of the comedians. As an old first-nighter remarked last night, “There is more laugh in this show than any I have seen this season.” And he was about right, for from the rise of the cur- tain to its fall, there was a prolonged laugh, and the audience forgot the bad night outside and had a real good time. Al Reeves, with his banjo and a bouque of new songs, the stellar attraction, Al interjected into iis songs, a number of local gags that simply set’ the audience roaring about what he saw in the vita- scope. As stated above, the specialties were good, with one or two exceptions, and the concluding burtesque, “An Isie of Gold,” was a ‘clever conceit and showed the strength of the company to its best. THE BIOGRAPH.—Although the warning of a sterm was given early yesterday and the prediction made that it would reacn this city during the evening, a good crowd was in evidence at all the exhibitions of the Biograph at Willard Hall yesterday, and particularly the one given in the even- ing. As proraised, an almost entirely new set of views was shown, many of them being on foreign subjects of great interest. ‘The best view of the lot shown, however, Was one of a scene in our own country. It depicts one of the fast trains on the West Shore at its entrance to an exit from the famous Hackensack tunnel, and the effect of the view is marvelous. Several benefit exhibitions will be given within a short time. The first one will be given Thursday for the benefit of the Fifteenth Street Methodist Episcopal Church; the second, Friday, for the benefit of the Na- tional Homeopathic Hospital, and Satur- day, for the benefit of the E Street Bap- tist Church.

Several of the students addressed the meeting, de- caring the criticism unfair and untrue. The class offcers were directed to prepare a set of resolutions, to be considered at another meeting. ls NEXT WEE! DERAULT EN INTEREST. Alleged Detemmination of B. and .0. Receive®s Affecting Obligations, The receiverswof the Baltimore &nd Ohio railroad, it is announced, have decided to default @n three semi-annual payments of interest,z:due November 1, on certain outstandingfrobligations. These, are: First mortgage Sper cent bonds of the Balti- more Beltstailroad, first mortgage 5 per cent bondsif ti Akron and Chicago Junc- tion railromf afd the 5 per cent bonds of the Newarlgs Somerset and Straitsville rail- road. The receiversywill pay interest on the fol- Towing sccuritiss: Main line sterling 6 per cent loan #f 4874; Baltimore and Ohio equipment Bonds, series B; first mortgage 5 per centibonds of the Confluence and Oakland railroad; first mortgage 5 per cent bonds of the Baltimore and New York Railway Company. Under some circumstances the failure of the receivers to pay the coupons of the Baltimore Belt Line bonds would involve the Baltimore and Ohio in serious trouble, as the line is a vital part of their through route between Washington and: Philadel- phia, but it is understood that a clause in the mertgage prevents the holder of the bonds whose interest is in défault from instituting proceedings to recover until the default shall have extended over a period of more than ninety days, and the policy of the receivers thus far has been to pay the interest in default before the ninety days have elapsed, at least in cases where the roads involved are of paramount im- portance to the continuance of the com- Pany’s operations. The statement is made that the default on the mortgages first mentioned is due to the fact that the receivers have in hand the receipts from only two months’ opera- tions to pay six months’ interest; that after they took charge, in March, 1896, the money was advanced to pay the interest due in May, but that this policy has been stopped and only the receipts from the operations of the property are now avail- able for interest payments. A special examiner was yesterday ap- pointed by Judge Morris of the United States court at Baltimore for the purpose of taking testimony in the dispute between the Southern Railway Company and Re- ceivers Cowen and Murray relative to the amount of the rental due the Southern from the receivers for the operation of the Strasburg and Harrisonburg railroad from March 1 to November 20, 1896, the receivers having surrendered the property at midnight of the latter date. The South- ern claims $41,411.55 and the receivers deny that they owe so much. Se Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate. Frank T.

A Dental Ma: That the Pope Will iterfere. A dispatch from Rome states that Car- dinal Rampolla has authorized a denial of the statement that the pope will interfere in the case of Prof. Schroeder of the Catho- He University, and said that the matter was entirely in the hands of the bishops. A Star reporter today conversed with some gentlemen who are thoroughly con- versant with the rules which prevail at the Vatican, and which are, ft is said, in- variably followed by the pope in dealing with cases between persons and institutions when such arise, and each said that the Pope never interferes until after he has heard from the bishop or archbishop of the diocese in which the difficulty arose, which has not been the case in the Schroeder matter. In authorizing the denial made for the pope, as announced by Cardinal Rampolla, each of the gentlemen referred to said the holy father was simply following the con- stitution of the church and a long line of precedents. They had no doubt the dis- patch was true. — Finest “Mums” in the World. Prime beauties for $3 doz. Gude, 1224 F.—Ad Suit Dismissed. The divorce suit filed by Wm. T. Newton against Olivia W.
