In March the French violinist. Marteau and Miss Lotta Mills, pianist, will be heard in a recital. The fact that Miss Mills is a Washington girl will lend particular inter- est to this recital. It has been se sons since this young artist ha he although the reputation that she is building for herself elsewhere is well known to her friends and admirers. While the above lst does not include all the great artis that are to come before the concert public this season, the chances sre that their managers will not forget this city. The management of the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra has issued a circular to its Washington patrons announcing that its visits to Washington will not be made this season, but suggesting that the con- certs which are to be given in Baltimore may be availed of, and that Mr. Edward F. Guzman “is authorized to receive sub- Seriptions, and will attend the sale of sea- son tickets in Baltimore to personally se- cure desired locations. Special rates will be secured from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the entire benefit of which will be given to patrons. No fee will be charged by Mr. Guzman, who will be paid by the management of the orchestra.” It ts a fact worthy of note that since her return to the stage and steadily with her increasing fame Mrs. Fiske has employed American dramatists almost exclusively. The added fact that this actress has been uniformly successful is, of course, essen- tially due to her genius, but genius itself cannot vitalize a play that lacks merit, and thus Mrs. Fiske divides with the native dramatists who have enthusiastically worked for associative success a credit that reflects great honor on the American theater. This actress’ achievements in plays from American hands has also given a stimulus to American dramatists that surface indications do not begin to index. Many authors of note are ambitious to fit her with plays, and more authors unknown —some of whom may yet take high places year, and Was finally put on at the Strand Theater at the end of the season. In the language of the press agent, “it scored an instantaneous hit;” it has tri- in their profession—work with this actress in view. “Tess of the D'Urbervilles,” al- though based on an English novel, was wrought into stage form by Lorimer Stod. dard, an American; “Love Finds the Way,”> — the germ of which was found in a German play, is almost in {ts entirety the work of Marguerite Merington, an American dram- atist; “A Bit of Old Chelsea,” although originally produced in London, is from the pen of Mrs. Oscar Beringer, a woman of American: birth; “Little Italy,” the dra- matic one-act piece which Mrs. Fiske will produce this season, was written by Horace B. Fry, a New York litterateur, and “Becky Sharp,” the play now developing from “Vanity Fair,” will be by Langdon E. Mitchell, the young American novelist. Unlike many artists, Clementine de Vere is virtually an American singer, although she was born in Paris and has passed sev- eral years abroad; for since she came with Campanini in 1889, this country has been the scene of her musical activities and of her most notable successes. Like Adelina Patti, Clementine de .ere may be regarded a rare example of lyric precocity, for her operatic training began when she was scarcely ten years ot age, and her debut as a public singer took place in one of the leading theaters of italy ere she was six- teen. Two years later, she was the prin- cipal prima donna in the Grand Opera in Parts. After winning a succession of triumphs in the great theaters of France, Kaly, Mex- ico and Spain, Madame de Vere came to the United States. W.en Carnegie Hall wes dedicated, Tschaikowsky conducted one of his own works, and Madame de Vere the prima donna of the occasion. Last year Madame de Vere was frequently heard in the Metropolitan Opera House, and was one 0i t.e prima donnas of the Metropolitan Opera Company when that or- ganization made a long tour through the country. Madame de Vere is just now in the prime of her artistic life, in the full- ness of her powers, and, as brilliant as have been her achievements, it is safe to predict that she will accomplish still great- er things. Miss Blanche Pauii is the proud possessor of a decoration from the New York fire department that few women have ever been honorea with. Last summer Miss Pauli spent her vacation at the cottage of her sis- ter, Mrs. Chester Rice. in Grant City, Stat= en Island. On August 12 Mr. Rice was call- ed to Philadelphia on business, leaving Mrs. Rice, her three-year-old daughter and Miss Pauli alone in the house. About half- past eleven that night Miss Paull, who oc- cupiea a room on the second floor, was uwakened by the sme!l of smoke. She quick- opened the door of her room, leading into the haH, and was met by a volume of smoke and ‘saw flames shooting up the staircases at cach end of the hall. Miss Paul's first thought was for Mrs. Rice and her little daughter, who were sleeping on the floor above. Wrapping herself in a blanket, she made her way through the dense smoke that filled the hall and, reach- ing Mrs. Rice's room, tried to awaken her, but the aoor of the room nad been leit open and the woman and child were both overcome by the smoke. Although «already weak from the effects of the smoke, Miss Paull quickly knotted two sheers together and, making a loop, fastened it under the arms of the child. As she reached the win- dow of the room a car of the Staten Island Trolley Company appeared in sight, and the conductor, seeing the flames, stopped the car and, with the motorman and -passen- gers, ran to the house, but no ladder could be found, and tt was necessary to lower the child by the sheet. The fiames by this time were bursting from the two lower stories and the heat in the room was intense. Those outside were unable to give any assistance, and Miss Pauli was obliged to drag the in- sensible woman from the bed to the win- dow and lower her to the ground, as she had the child. When Mrs. Rice with- in a few feet of the ground Miss Pauli's strength gave out and she allowed the sheet to slip, but willing hands saved the insensible woman from injury. By this time a tarpaulin had been secured from the beach and was stretched to receive Miss Pauli, whose only chance for life was to jump. sprang the floor beneath her gave away; luckily she landed squarely on the tarpaulin and was not injured be- yond a sev in of her stde. For over a month Miss Pauli was confined to her bed by the terrific strain to which her nerves had been subjected counis of her daring. — La in Harlem, M Pauli re handsome gold badge, on which scribed, “From the New York Fire Depart- ment to Miss B. ¢ Pauli,” on one side, and on the r For heroism displayed at Grant nd, August Night Music Club was enter- Julius Ulke, 1004 S street instrumental part of the pro- m consisting of Haydn's Bear sym- Thony and three s—Heethoven's Prometheus, rirager, Nicolai's Merry ndsor—all for four hands piano riet of ring ltimore vio- ; A Dre ay), with violin and ‘cello obli hubert’s Erl King, with four hands piano nd double string quartet accompanime LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOU. —At this theater next week Mr. ( Frohman will present for the first tim any stage his new Madison Square Th Comedy Company in a comedy in three acts, led “On and Off,” which will iis performance in America. “On and Off” Alexander Bisson, who wrote ‘The ed Ball,” and it has been running in for t two hundred and fifty sibility of still great- r longevit ared to be an ex- tremely merry effort, with a reasonable and Well-sustained plot and every opportunity for the individual and collective talent of 2 Frohman as assigned the telling of the story.

Broadburst’s determination to write a play was brought about in rather an un- While he was managing the Bush St Theatsr in San Francisco, Brenson Howard happened into the theater and requested that the usual courtesies be extended him. The conversation b>tween Broadhurst and Howard veered to E. H. Scthern’s production of “The Malster of Woodbarrow," which at the time was being produced at the Baldwin Theater. Broad- hurst ventured th2 opinion that one scene in Sothern’s play was too prolonged, and being asked his reasons by Mr. Howard for so thinking, replied that the audience began to rustle their programs and to move uneasily in their seats. “Phat.” said Mr. Howard, “is an infalli- ble sign, aud I always look out for it. Whn ‘Shenandoah’ was presented in Bos- ton I noticed the great interest with which the audience followed the eignals on the 1rountains. I determined to see how long they would watch them without becoming uneasy, and notified the stage manager to continue them till I told him to cease. The first rustle of the program was to be my cue, but everything remained still so long that I lost my nerve and dared not wait. I tried {t the next night with th: same re- sult, and then gave it up in despair, fully satisfied that the audience was thoroughly interested in my stage effect.” The conversation-betwe2n Broadhurst and Howard was quite a long one. At its con- clusion Mr. Howard said, “You ought to try to write a play.” The seed probably tcok deeper root than he expected. He did try, and the result was “Th> Speculator,” after which he wrote “The Wrong Mr. Wright,” “What Happened to Jones” and “Why Smith Left Home.” COLUMBIA THEATER.—On Monday evening Messrs. Smyth and Rice will bring out at the Columbia Theater a new comedy from the pen of Mr. H. A. Du Souchet, called “A Misfit Marriage.” The dispost- tion recently shown by managers to sub- mit their productions first to Washington audiences indicates the importaffte which they attach to a judgment of the public in this city, and perhaps is also accounted for by the belief that more or less good fortune attends the initial presentations here. The new play is of a farcical char- acter. The action is supposed to take place in the city of New Orleans on Mardi Dorothy Usner and Gras day, when the spirit of the whole town is one whith’ fosters frivolity, gayety and ridictlous levity. The plot revolves around a marrtage @eremony wherein it is discovered, after it} has been performed, that the expectanti bridegroom has been joined to the mother instead of her daugh- ter, and it is believed that the opportuni- tles for fun spminging from this awkward alliance have beenxrichly utilized by the author. Mr. DusScuehet has come strongly into the public notice during the past few seasons. All hts pisces have readily been accorded a first rank among dramatic works calculated principally to entertain. Farcical situatigns ém them are original in most cases, anddn all are treated with such skill as to brigg ot their greatest comic ossibilities. His Mises are bright and his fun ts cleen. Bhe production of “A Misfit Marriage” Monday pight will be an impor- tant one. Messrs. Smyth and Rice, the managers, and Mr. Du Souchet, the’auther, will all be hererfrom New York, accompa- nied. by several peopte prominently interest- ed in theatrical affairs. The company en- gaged to present the new piece contains the following artists: Max Figman, Clayton White, Frank N. Kendrick, A. J. Edwards, Henry Herman, Malcolm Bradley, Thomas Maguiar, James Gilmore, George Grace, Ina Hammer, Lucile Nunn, Katharine Mul- kins, Anne Warrington and Millie Jame: ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—The production at the Academy of Mrsic next week will be the great metropolitan success, “Gayest Manhatten,” under the direction of John F. Harleys “Gayest Manhattan” is an e: travagant: burlesque, bright, with lively sengs, picturesque dances and artistic en- sembles. "The piece was introduced and made popular at Kosier &: Bial’s Music Hall, where it enjoyed a longer run than any other extravaganza ever produced in New York city. The score, rich with de- licious melody, was written by the gifted composer, W. H. Bachelor, who has fur- nished many tuneful buriesques to the pub- Me. The burlesque, as {ts name implies, is a travesty on New York life. The first act is laid in the mall of Central Park, with its crowd of nurse girls, bicycle girls, police- men and park strollers and loungers. Hiram Prindle, with his young daughter. comes from Skowhegan, Maine, in quest of en old- er daugater, who has established herself in high society. His entry is the signal for the starting of an endless chain of fun, which does not cease until the curtain is rung down on the last act. The second and third acts take the characters, first to the ball room of the Waldorf, and then to the stage of Koster & Bial's. Of the large cast employed Sol Aiken, a droll com- edian, and Jean Mclimoyle, a clever sou- brette, in the characters of Hiram Prin- dle and Malinda, create much of the fun. In this they are ably seconded by James Kiernan and Frank Gardiner, two of the most versatile comedians known to the stage; Ada Deaves, a bright comedienne; Jennie Lewis, who has a rich and clear soprano voice; Alta de Kerwen, a dancer, re- cently imported from Paris, and a full com- plement of sweet girls, with fine figures, who are by no means the least of the bur- lesque’s attractions. The scenic effects are rew, and in each instance a careful repro- duction has been made of the mall in Cen- tral Park, the ball room of the Waldorf and of the stage at Koster & Bial’s Music Hall. KERNAN'’S LYCEUM THEATER.— Harry Morris, the ever popular caterer to the amusement-loving public, brings his new show, which he styles “The Lite Lambs,” to Kernan’s Lyceum next week, commencing Monday matinee. The per- formance opens with a frisky skit entitled “Training the Lambs,” in which all the members of the company will be seen to excellent advantage. The costumes are the most elaborate ever seen in burlesque, the music catchy and the scenic and electrical effects emblazon the scene to a marked de- gree. Following this curtain raiser is an olio of unquestionable merit, prominent among which are Dilke and Wade, musical artists; Patterson Brothers, triple horizon- tal bar experts; Jean Cunningham, char- acter comedienne; Ford Brothers, noveity dancers; Belment and Weston, comedians parodists; Aimee Louise, operatic vo- list, and others. “The star feature of the olio is a marvelous exhibition of dissolving reproductions of famous works of art, which is so perfectly construct > form play in itself, which the management fephisto's Triumph,” in which a t is ensnared by the cunning of to, who forces him to come down from his high aspirations and seek fame and fortune by giving to the public exactly what It desi The pictures are sho: complete in evary detail, and in the pres- ence of the audience dissolve from one into the other, The Tlainment is brought to a close with t fumorous military bur- lesque, “‘Gen'l Fink’s Arm: ry Morris will essay the part of Gen'l Louie Fink.

Joe Flynn, the parody singer, will be a close second. The Review Comedy Four are next in importance, and then come the Revere Sisters, chie and chipper comediennes; the Aherns, fresh from a tour of the European music halls, with their great Japanese breakaway ladder; Johnnie Webber, in a brand new mono- the Maginleys, in perilous feats on ng trapeze; the Bijou Big Burlesque ny, including Misses Nina Collins, Remington, Alice Warre: Clara jams, Sidonia Dixon and twenty pretty chorus girls, and John T.

AMERICAN WAR-GRAPH—A capital exhibition of the war-graph {s given daily at Metzerott’s Hall, next to the Columbta Theater. TheSpanish-American war scene: nted by moving pictures, are attract- ing muck attention and are received with enthusiasm by the many who attend the performances. New and elaboraie view ve already been added by the man- agement. Among these are the taking of Spanish outposts by American troops, the execution of Cuban prisoners by Spanish soldiers, the swimming ashore of army mules at Baiquiri and the grand naval re- view and firing of salutes by the victorious squadron at the tomb of Grant on the Hud- sen. Major General Fitzhugh Lee visited the wargraph last evening. The general was enthusiastic Over the realism of the Cuban war views. He pronounced the execution by the Spanish of Cuban prisoners especial- ly excellent. DE WOLF HOPPER.—De Wolf Hopper is coming to the National week after next. He ends his run at the Knickerbocker one week from this evening and comes here dl- rectly with “The Charlatan,” resplendent in all its fresh and gorgeous glory. This opera bears the record of being the most sumptuously produced comic opera ever given in New York. Incidentally it is by John Philip Sousa and Charles Klein, who made “El Capitan.’ There is one ‘thing that can always be depended upon when De Wolf Hopper comes to Washington each season, and that is that he will be sur- rounded by an organization that is first- class in all respects. “The Charlatan” is a bigger production than “El Capitan,” and requires a larger organization. All the old favorites of the:Hopper company, with but few exceptions;' will be seen, while there has been added’ to the organization several new names that have never been seen in comic opera beforey but are famous in com- edy and dramay Nella Bergen js still the prima donna of-the Hopper company. Ed- mund Stanley, the ’tenor, retains his place in the organization; so also does little Al- fred Klein, who has been Hopper’s aid in fun-making simee the comedian became a star. Alice Judson, one of the daintiest of comic opera comediennes, and a Washing- ton girl, is a new member of the company. Then comes George W. Barnum, a new re- cruit in comic opera. Mr. Barnum will be remembered asithe‘blustering Count Eritoff of “Glorianna” and other comedies pre- sented by Charles~Frohman. That Mark Price, one of ‘the:best of Shakespearian actors, is to appear in “The Charlatan” will be something dm the nature of a sur- prise. Mr. Priee was for many years the leading man of the famous Boston Theater Stock Company, and later with Margaret Mather and other organizations. In “The Charlatan” he will not sing, but will enact the role of Gogol, an unscrupulous villain, who manages to get everybody in trouble. Another new face will be Adine Bouvier, a very handsome woman, who enacts the role of the grand duchess. The sale of seats will open on Thursday morning. BURR McINTOSH.—Burr McIntosh, who will be at the Columbia Theater October 10 in Lottie Blair Parker's new war comedy, “A War Correspondent,” is well known for many reasons. Several years ago he was the champion sprinter of both Lafayette and Princeton colleges, and whilst at the former was catcher on the ‘varsity nine, be- sides having wen the first intercollegiate medal and holding the first intercollegiate office.

The first pho- tographs from Cuba printed in this country were taken by Mr. McIntosh—in fact, they were printed four days in advance of any others. As an actor, no matter what his success may be in the future, thousands will best remember the original “Taffy,” although he holds the undispu sition of the first southern dialect actor on the stage. Now he will be himself as a Cuban war correspondent—not exactly, either, for a age War correspondent he ars evening clothes ind is weil fed. When Mr. McIntosh left Cuba late in July he was fifty-three pounds lighter than when he went there. This was lost in less than three weeks with the aid of yellow fever, two rei and later mal a.

The only article worn that he used in Cuba is the hat which was his pillow whilst spending several hard nights on the ground. Every- thing else was stolen or burned. nS AMERIC SHIPBUILDING. Annual Report of th Navigation. The annual report of the bureau of navi- Bureau of gation for the fiscal year ended June 30 shows that there were built and docu- mented in the United States merchant vessels of 180,458 gross tons, compared with S91 vessels of 2 3 gross tons for the pre- ceding fiscal year. The decrease in construc- tion is almost wholly on the great lakes The construction on the Pacific ccast was 49,789, com with 7.495 tons for the previous year, this increase being chieft sels designed for the Alaskan-Pacific and Alaskan river trade. e in construction was wholly in half of the fiscal year, when ship building in Great Britain and other mari- jons also showed a falling off of about 20 per cent.

The Spanish cabinet declined y to authorize Gen.

Finally, it is announced the Spanish go ernment would inform the government at Washington that it has decided to send reinforcements to the Vizayas, and it has ordere en batteries of artillery in An- Fe dalusia to get ready to start for the Phil- ippine nds in twenty-four hours. In addition to this, the cabinet will re- peat its protest against the insurgents con- tinuing to hold Spanish prisoners in the Philippine Islands. The government estimates that there are 200,000 pecpie in Porto Rico who desire to return to Spain. A telegram received from Gen. Rios, Spanish governor of the Vizayas Islands, who {s reported to have recently proclaim: ed himself governor general of the Spanish dominions in the Philippines, reports that the insurgent expeditions have arrived at the Vizayas. The rebellion, it is also reported, is spreading, and several provinces in the Is- land of Luzon have been invaded, and some officers of the gendarmerie and the fami- Nes massacred. The governor and officials at Iloilo, Island of Panay, have fled to Manila. La Correspondencia blames the Ameri- cans for tolerating the new rising of the insurgents, and urges the government to present a protest to the Paris commission. BOUGHT FROM THE SPRECKLES. Their Hawaiian Sugar Company Passes Into a Syndicate’s Control. The Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company has passed from the control of the Spreckles (Rudolph and C. A.) and is now in the hands of a syndicate of San Franciseo bankers and brokers, the new board of directors being as follows: Edward Politz, president; EB. M. Walsh, Albert Meyer, R. G. Brown and Charles Surro. The purchase price will reach $3,000,000, or $20 a share. When in January, 1804, the Spreckles secured control of the stock it was not worth a cent a share literally, but by manipulation and the improvement of the property the stock went up. After four and a half years’ ownership of what was almost worthless stock the Spreckies cleared up $3,000,000. The new company will inaugurate ex- tensive improvements and will operate the Hawaiian -plantations on a larger scale than usual under the old regime and ex- pect to make a handsome profit on the in- vestment. —__—_—_-2-____ The Reason.
