It 1s under- stood that the case will be at once taken before the grand jury.

COLUMBIA THEATER.—Among the en- tertaining things said by Mr. Tim Murphy when called before the curtain last night was the homely truism, “You've got to keep hammerirg away at the public.” It is more than probable that his new play, “The Carpetbagger,” will demonstrate that in pursuing this program it is not al- Ways necessary to wield a bludgeon. The methods employed in the construction ane the presentation of the piece exhibit refine- ment and skill, as well as vigor, and it is one of the best specimens of native stage literature that recent years have produced. Mr. Opie Read, co-author with Mr. Frank Pixley, has done his share of hammering. While never lacking in appreciative aémir- ers since first his pen began to trace quaint pictures of human nature, he has been ac- cepted as a matter of course. His freedom from literary affectation and the familiar- ity of the themes he employed, while en- hancing the enjoyment of his work, give the impression that it is In seme sense & spontaneous product of nature, for which no one is entitled to particular credit. ‘The fact that “A Carpetbagger” is by far the best of several plays with which Mr. Read's name has been associated is caleu- Jated to establish a high estimate of Mr. Pixley’s abilities. There is not a scene nor Paeeence which Goes not appeal force- ys The confidence in the work which Mr. Murphy displayed by responding to a cur- tain call after the first act was amply jus- tified, for the first act fs the least inter- esting of all, serving to do little more than Introduce the characters. But they are strong, life-like characters, whose careers, as dimly suggested, could not fail to hold the interest till the end. The subject is one which required the utmost discretion. The carpetbagger is not a character about whom romance would be expected to con- genially entwine itself. The welding of the rugged materials afforded by the topic into @ creation of sentiment and sincerity would be a task from which any one without the genius of a Dickens or a Burns might shrink. Yet the Chicago auctioneer, gone south in the year 1866 to plunder defeated foemen, with no creed save “to the victor belongs the spoils,” is made to fade and change by the gradual shifting of lights and colors until the picture becomes ideal. The conclusion of the play would, with less skillful treatment, seem a catastroph: Yet the defeated governor's declaration he receives the tender assurances of the woman he loves, that “he has lost a state, but won an empire,” satisfies the sentiments and avoids the shock which any implied condonement of a very shady career would cause. For while the governor is lovable from the outset, ft is, in spite of defects of character, none the less palpable because they were common. The expiation is com plete enough to content the most rigoro’ advocate of poetic justice, and at the same time his gentleness and goodness find their fitting reward. Mr. Murphy is seen to dis- tinct advantage in the part. It fs doubtful whether any other actor could have gotten so much out of it, for in addition to a keen sense of comedy he has a strong apprecia- tion of the subtler modes of expression. Every pose is full of character and every syllable has weight. The costuming was : revelation to those who have looked over old magazines and marveled that such un- couth modes of dress could once have been in vogue. Adjusted to graceful and attrac ive wearers, the old styles assumed a p quancy which pleased the eve and fully ex- plained the fascinations to which our elders yielded. There are some distinctly melo dramatic strokes in the play, but they are made with a force and facility which pri vents their doing more than spur the inte: est. James A. Nunn as the governor's suc cessful opponent for office and defeated rival in love was earnest and capable. The hare of this character in the heart-inter- est of the play might be emphasized with advantage. The make tainly suffered from 0 lack of attentio: In fact, they are so elaborate that there must be some difficulty in having them al- ways free from undue suggestions of wig and cosmetic. The ladies of the cast wer: all in accord with the spirit of the pie Miss Dorothy Sherrod was the romping. : s without whose displays of juvenile affection no modern drama can be regarded as complete. Miss Helen Corlette has a quiet. undem- onstrative part, wiich she did not spo'l by trying to make too much of it. The prin- cipal requisites of a ‘good angel” are gen- tle, womarly demeanor and an attractive personality such as Miss Corlette bestawed, Miss Eleanor Merron succeeded in being unconventional as well as probable, at- tractive as well as iniquitous in the role of the feminine lobbyist. There were other good character contributions, and the au- dience was not remiss in that esse ial ta an enjoyable evening at the playhouse—ap- plauze. As an entertainment ger” exerts a welcome potency, and in ad- dition it conveys timely assurance during the present stress of campaigning that a man may be defeated for office and stil live happy ever after. NATIONAL THE. “The Carpetbag- AR.—Encores, single, double. more than once quadruple, kept the curtain up on “The Serenade” at the Na- tional until after 11 o'clock last night. Al- though given here before, and then under slightly more promising’ conditions, the warmth of the applause and the hear‘iness of the laughter evoked last night by The Bostonians would make {t appear th there 1s no pressing need of a new opera for the singers. Like a good book, which bears reading and rereading, Josing, new beauties always, ‘The Serenade” gains by repetition in the estimation of and music lovers. It 1s a stmon-pure comic opera, with few flaws perceptible. The theme, while not especially novel, is handled by the Mbrettist, Harry B. Smith. in a way to hide the appearance of an- tiquity, and the witty dialogue, genuinely com situations and accelerated action more than compensate for any defects. Victor Herbert's mu: has the real ring. It is full of substance, and each of the three acts has Its proper share. The songs are catchy and live in the memory. The finales are well sustained and appropriate. The development of motive is symmetrical and pleasing. Altogether, the first happy impressions of this brilliant little composi- tion are confirmed after a season's absence. Miss Helen Bertram as Yvonne and Wm. Broderick as Romero are the newcomers in the cast, in place of Miss Alice Neilson and Eugene Cowles. While there has been no gain, to the credit of Miss Bertram it must be confessed that the feeling of loss only comes when Mr. Broderick is com- pared te Mr. Cowles. The new singer's voice has not the range necessary for the low notes of Romero's part. It is a dra- matic basso cantante, forceful in the upper register, but, lowering to the notes charac- teristic of the brigand, lacks in breadth and power. Still he's a handsome fellow, with flashing eyes and virile movement, pleas- ing to the eye. Miss Bertram grows upon you. She has not perhaps all the natural charms of Mis Neilson, but when the last curtain falls and you sum up your impressions the dark- haired, lithe little singer of the present fills out the ideal of the part. She is a very capable singer, and her song with the monks in the second act was redemanded twice. It was a telling piece of work, in which the strength and brilllancy of her veice at the height of its range were ap- parent. Her solo, echoing the flute, in the same act was very enthusiastically ap. plauded, and her share of the “Dreaming” trio in the last act contributed much to the unusual encoring it won. She was pic- turesque in the dancer’s costume, and petite and charming in youth’s attire. Miss Jessie Bartlett Davis’ work as Do- lores shows the perfection of ripe method and complete accomplishment. Mr. Barna- bee's Duk2 is a dolorous, humorous crea- tion that ranks with his best. Mr. Mac- Donald's fine appearance and spirited act- ing make his Carlos a dramatic portrait hard to excel. Mr. Frothingham's Gomez is unctuous and typical. Harry Brown's Colombo remains lifelike and amusing. William E. Philp as Lopez is satisfactory. Harry Dale and A. Warmouth as the danc- ing friars deserv> mention. New and pretty faces are seen in the chorus, and the costumes and scenery have lost none of their freshness. The ens2mble singing ts delightfui from every point of critical view, and testifies to the good work of Conductor Studley. The audience all but filled the theater and was gathered from the most notable and prominent residcnts of the city. FRANK DANTELS.—Frank Daniels and his entire comic opera company will begin their annual engagement in this city on next Monday night at the Columbia Thea- ter. The engagement will be devoted to the preduction of both of Daniels’ late comic opera hits, “The Idol's Eye” and “The Wizard of the Nils." He will bring with him the same cast of principals which ren- dered him such able and agreeable assist- ance last season, and also the same splen- did chorus augmented by a round dozen of graduates from a New York musical col- lege. Librettist Smith has written a num- ber of new verses for Daniels’ topical songs, bringing him upsto @ate, and both he and Composer Victo® H@bert have written a new song for HélenRedmond, which will be sung by eed tli templs scene of the second act of ‘“Bhe Mlol’s Bye.” New cos- tumes and new stenéry have been provided for both operas @inde they wer’ last seen here, and their; production will be ade- quate in every: pafticular. Among the other principals of ‘the cast are Alf C. Wheelen, Will Danforth, John B. Park, who sugceeds Maurie: Darcy; Kate Uart, who succeeds Glau@ia Caldstedt, Norma Kopp and Sadies-Emmons. Miss Emmons has been in Dahiel’ chorus for several years. She is a ative of Boston, and will be seen during tle @hgagem2nt In a prom- inent part of the opera, to which she has been promoted a8 a#eward of merit. LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. —An awfully clever, ‘bright and jolly bit of ciean-cut comedy is “A Brace of Part- ridges,” at the Lafayette Square Theater. For f2ar the “birdy” name may confuse some onc into the idea that the piece is re- lated’ to that artistic frost, “The Cuckoo, let us say in the beginning, neither feath- ered songsters, nor human ones, hav» ab- solutely any part in “A Brace of Part- riéges.” The brace consists of two young Englishmen bearing the quailish name, one an honorable lord’s son, the other a scape- grace fifth cousin. Both wer? played by Mr. H. Reeves-Smith, as versatile in a dual role as anyone ever seen in Washington. Sparkling with bright lines and delightfully snappy in make-up and go, “A Brace of Partridges” is a pure comedy, not marrad by the slightest suspicion of horse-play, and appealing throughout to the higher risibili- ties of man—a sharp contrast to many of the broad farces heap2d upon us of late. The interest hinges on the doings of th> two Partridges, one a quiet young fellow whose impecunious parent desires him to wed an African heiress—a very charming one, too—but who falls “desp2rately in love with a barmaid. His fifth cousin, Alfred Partridge, is like the other in face and figure, but has run up numerous debts, and escaping to the country, finds himself at the inn where Arthur's maid holds forth. There are many complicated situations, In which the cousin is mistaken for the real Par tridge, ending in the marriage of the for- mer to the heiress, and all is well. As the happy-go-lucky cousin Mr. Reeves- Smith is more enjoyable than as the sen- timental Hon. Arthur. His quick changes of clothes and personality are wonderful and many times elicited the applause of a large audience. The remainder of the com- pany is from the Strand Theater, London, and, like all Englishmen, carry out their respective parts In a thorough and consci- entious manner that is extremely refresh- ing. Miss Jessie Bateman, a dainty little blonde English girl, with mellow voice, 1s a most attractive barmaid, while Mr. Geo. Shelton, as Spiffins, a city waiter who is disgusted with the way they do things in the country, is Indeed comical, some of his droll sayings completely convulsing his au- ditors. Cecil Thornbury, as a bailiff pursu- ing the cousin, and Fred Dark, as the Hon. Arthur's rival for Peggy, the barmaid, both do clever character work. Misses Agnes Knight and Mabel Lane, and Messrs. G. F. Leicester, E. Ford, Gordon Tomkins and Charles V. France complete the competent ca “A Brace" is preceded by a curtain-raiser, “Good-bye,” in which Messrs. France, Fra~ ser, Thornbury and Tomkins and Miss Lane have parts, ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—Wm. H. West's claim that he has revived old-time high- class_minstrelsy is no idle boast. Indeed, Mr. West has gathered about him as clever a lot of people, in their respective lines, as have ever been seen in a minstrel combi- nation in Washington. Col. Jack Haverly, when his celebrated) troupe was at its best, may have hadomore attractions in his show, but the bestvhe had never excelled what Mr. West @ffers now. No attempt is made at Innovation in the character of the minstrel show: father, Mr. West has gone to the other extreme of following old-time models in minstrelsy. But with genuine minstrel talent te supplement his effort the nerous, spontaneous applause met with the Academyidast night proved that he d made no nifistake in his ideals or in the successful carrying of them out. The demy was packed and probably in all s history there wes never an audience more agreeably entertained. The laughter and applause was almost continuous. Carroll Jotinson, the chief of the tambos, and Tom Lewis, the bones, with Charles M. Ernest, another bone twirler, are justiy termed the “premiefs.of burnt cork com- edy.” The performance gpens with the usual “first part,’ in which the whole com- pany, gorgeousty arrayed in minstrel at- tire, take part. This furnishes the oppor- tunity for the introduction of a number of popular songs and choruses. Charles M. Ernest, Charles Kent, Clement Stewart. Tom Lewis, Richard J. Rose and Carroll Johnson all contribute most entertainingly to this part. The second part is made up of vaudeville specialties, all exceedingly clever in their way. Freeze Brothers give a real- ly remarkable exhibition of tambourine spinning. Then follow Tom Lewis and Charles M. Ernest in their irresistibly funny comedy sketch. The “great Trovolo” is de- cldedly clever in his ventriloquism and walking automata sketch; Eddie Horan’s cane Gan McMahon and King’s eccentric dancing were all clever productions. Then comes Ezra Kendall in his inimitable hu- morous monologue, which seems to lose none of its attractiveness with age. The performance closes with a war sketch, in which the battle ship Maine, Capt. Sigsbee and a detachment of bluejackets are th figures about which the interest is cen- tered. Altogether the minstrels at the cademy is a genuinely entertaining exhi- bition and deserves the patronage it is re- ceiving. KERNAN’'S LYCEUM THEATER.—Ir- win brothers, Venetian burlesquers, opened a week's stay at Kernan’s Lyceum Thea- ter yesterday afternoon and evening before two large audiences. Unlike a majority of the burlesque shows, the Venetians open with straight variety turns and close with the usual burlesque. From start to finish the Veretians are clean cut, artistic and entertaining, not a vulgar turn of joke being seen or heard, while several of the come- dians are real funny, and many of the acts can be classed as novelti The perform- ance begins with a knockabout act by Rus- sell and Tillyne that was well received. Harlan and Yost, the Washington boys, followed in a clever singing act that scored heavily, and were later heard to good effect with illustrated songs. The versatile trio, Sylvester, Marshall and Weston, proved exceptionally bright, the singing especially winning much applause. The Carmentelle sisters, In an act full of dancing, singing and bright sayings, proved the novelty of the bill, one of the sisters being blackened and dressed in the “Topsy” order, which add- ed greatly to the effectiveness of the act. The ciever bar performers, Newell and She- vett, gave an act that stamped both per- formers as being among the leaders in their line, the double somersaults from the bar being performed with an ease and dexterity that was enjoyable. Howard and Mack w another pair that was received with favor, the jckes being new and up to date. The ciosing burlesque, “The Street Fair,” proved a takeoff on the latest we ern craze and afforded opportunitie the display of clever dancing turns,*hand- some costumes and ladies, the fun being forthcoming from tWo clever Hebrew cha acters who acted @s victims of the fair fakirs.

The order of Good Templars of the Dis- trict of Columbia began its fair, or conti- nental carnival, last evening at Masonic Temple. The hall was filled with beautiful booths, and a large gathering of people well known in Good Tempiar circles were present to give their patronage to the cause repfesented by the order conducting the enterprise. The entertainment was unique and the tasteful arrangement of ev- erything connected with the fair called forth admiring comments from the visitors. The booths, conducted by the various lodges of the city, represented the thirteen original states, and were ornamented with handsome silk flags and patriotic colors. The electrical display in the Massachusetts booth, donated by the United States Elec- tric Lighting Company, was greatly ad- mired. Presiding at the booths were young ladies, attired in the styles of the conti- nental era. The carnival was opened by Commission- er Wight, who delivered a brief adress. He was presented to the audience by E. Jones, grand chief templar of the District. Mr. Wight complimented those who had achieved such success in presenting so unique and beautiful an entertainment for the people of the city, and spoke of the widespread influence being exerted by Good Templars in all parts of the world. “The Star Spangled Banner” was sung by Mrs. Marguerite Nolan-Martin, and Prof. Lloyd Remenji played a violin solo, with Clara Flint as piano accompanist.
