Hanford, the w2ll-known Washington actor, who has won for himself a position in the very front rank of the exponents of the classical drama in this country, will be seen at the Columbia Theater all of next week in a strong repertcire of l2gitimate plays. Mr. Hanford has won his enviable pesition in the theatrical profession by hard and conscientious work and long ser- vice in the interpretation of the roles in- cluded in his rep2rtoire. His name is al- ready indelibly stamped upon the pages of the dramatic history of America, and he stands today as a representative of the highest type of histrionle art. Mr. Han- ford’s physical endowments contribute a deal to his remarkable success and his scholarly attainments. He possesses a noble presence, a fine head, and features that seem to have been chiseled for an ideal >xponent of the Jegitimate drama. The repertoire chosen for Mr. Hanford’s engagement next week will include six of the strongest plays presented by him, viz., “Othello,” “Julius Caesar,” “The Merc! of Venice.” “Damon and Pythias,” ginius” and “Ingomar.’’ No American actor of late years has made a more success! effort to mount the plays of his repertoire with a greater attention to details than has Mr. Hanford His scenery is elaborate and correct, and the costuming of his company ich and appropriate.

The Society for Philosophie Inquiry held its first meeting for the season yesterday afternoon at the Columbian University. The subject of the paper presented by Dr. EB. Farquhar was the Transition from the Pure to the Practical Reason of Kant, whose doctrine of morality and its justification in reason were briefly summarized. Kant's view was criticised by Mr. W. M. Coleman and others. The society will continue to meet Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m., and the exposi- tion of Kant's ethical theory will be its topic until the holiday season. ll of whieh have been carefully rehabili- ta ed, so that they are as good as new. The members of the company in support have all been selected with a view to mak- ing this the strongest Shakespearean com- pany that has been scen in many years. It includes such well-known artists as Maric Drofnah, Mary Timbermann, John A. Ells- ler, Frank Hennig, Lawrence Lowell, John Milton, Paul G. Taylor, Richard Buhler and James Young. Matinees will be given on Thursday and Saturday afternoons. “THE BELLE OF NEW YORK. ‘The Belle of New York,” the reigning queen of light opera, will be a marked feature of the season now at hand. Its first performance by the Casino's coming company is an- nounced at the Lafayette Square Theater for Monday night. The cast contains a fine assortment of metropolitan favorites in this special field of musical merriment. Mr. Dan Daly is liberally proclaimed as the star feature of the gay ensemble—a fact which foreshadows a sprightly and abund- ant infusion of droll comedy into the scenes. The engagements made for this, the latest of the ‘Belle’ organizations, in- cludes all the great American cities, and a production is promised that rivals in splendor the one which has so captivated the English metropolis. All the gorgeous scenery, all the sumptuous costumes and every phase of ‘property’? used in tne original have been reproduced for this presentation. Indeed, the same high standard aimed at in ‘all the enterprises emanating from the Casino is to be maia- tained in the artistic department. “THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE.’—The attraction at the New National Theater hext week will be James K. Hackett in the New York success, “The Tree of Knowl- edge,” an original five-act modern play, by R. C. Carion, from whose pen came also “The Home Secretary” and “Liberty Hall.” This work s originally produced by George Alexander and his company at the St. James Theater, London, last season, Mr. Alexander and Julia Neilson playing the leading parts. The play is decidedly in- teresting and in all respects the best work thor has yet given to the stage. Its ethical import is that man is not always the ant of virtue, and that the deliberate wiles of a wicked woman create wider de- vastation that results from man’s transgres- ons. While this is rather a risky theme, Mr. Carton has succeeded in presenting it in a fashion that renders the play clean and wholesome, its entire dialogue and ac- tion being entircly free from ‘offensiveness of any sort, and the lesson {t teaches is healthful and invigorating. The dialogue 1: tresh and terse, is marked by epigram and frequently crystallizes in a sentence a world of every-day wisdom. It {s a play which will be enjoyed by intelligent, broad-minded people. In Mr. Hackett's company are Ma- bel Amber, who plays the wicked woman, Belle; George Allison, Mrs. Owen Marlowe, Miriam Nesbitt, E. W. Thomas, Gertrude Rivers, Longley Taylor and E. W. Evite. “THE SIGN OF THE CROSS.”—"The Sign of the Cra Wilson Barrett's re- ligious drama, which is now in its third American tour, is meeting everywhere with even greater success than during any of its former engagements. It has played to two weeks of “standing room only” at the Academy of Music, Baltimore, a dramatic feat that has, probably, never been accom- plished by any other attraction. it wilt be een in this city very shortly. “TOWN TOPICS.”—New York is a nice town, but when a man goes there to take in the sights, and leaves his common sense at home, he is going to see fireworks, und he will have to pay for the gunpowder. This is the experience of the ‘“jay’’ who visits the metropolis in that sparkling farce-comedy, ‘Town Topies,’” which will be seen at the Academy of Music next week. He has a lot of witty young men who “know the ropes,’” and a bevy of the mest beautiful girls one could find any- where. The fun never stops in “Town Topics,” for the play was created to make you laugh, and it never flags in its mis- sion. W ‘The three princes of comedy, John World, Robert Garnella and William H. ck, are at the head of the cast. That a guarantee of the excellence of the com- pany throughcut, because they would not allow their own good work to be handi- capped by poor support. “VANITY FAIR.”—“Vanity Fair,” one of Gus Hill’s most notable successes, will be the attraction at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week. The entertainment includes two bright original burlesqui between which is sandwiched an olio of high-class special- ties, introducing a number of the best- Known artists on the vaudeville stage. Mr, Hill, who is now directing a number of road enterprises, spared neither pains nor expense in strengthening the ‘Vanity Fair,” and the success with which it met last season should be ample assurance of the high standard of this year’s entertain- ment. A car load of scenic, mechanical and electrical paraphernalia, together with cos- tumes of the richest design, bright, original music and a multiplicity of novelties, gives promise of a show in keeping with Mr. Hill's former efforts.

Evening Star Bureau, No, 727 King Street, Bell Telephone, No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 9, 1898. On account of so many members of the city council being engaged in political af- fairs, the regular meeting of that body was postponed from last night until tonight, when it is expected that matters of im- portance will be considered. It was stated this morning by city officials that the mat- ter of new rails for King street would in all probability be brought up. The letter which Corporation Attorney Boothe received from Dr. Abbot, president of the Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon railroad; stating that the company was wil!- ing to do its part in the street paving, will be laid before the council, and then, it is stated, the only point of controversy will be that of the new rails. Should the coun- cil pass an ordinance directing the com- pany to lay new rails, it is understood, the case will again be carried to the courts and argued this time strictly on ts merits, no question coming up, as before, regard- ing the legality of an order emanating from the council committee. Should this occur it is probable that im- provements will not be commenced before next spring. In the event of the council deciding to a'low the old rails to remain, the work of paving will probably be com- menced immediately, as the contracts for paving and curbing have already been awarded. Proceedings In Police Court. The several cases disposed of by Mayor Simpson in the police court this. morning were as follows: : John Higgins, arrested by Officer Young on a charge of disorderly conduct,. was fined $2.50.

The details of an alleged drunken brawl which occurred yesterday evening at Jos. Weldman’s saigon, on North Henry street, were aired befcre the mayor. John Reiley appeared as ccmplainant. He had received a severe blow over the head, which knocked him senseless. Winter Crupper was charg- ed with hitting him. His counsel endeavored to show that Reiley had unduly asserted his social equal- ity, thus causing the row. Crupper, not be- ing identified the case was dismissed. Officers Atkinson and Young made the ar- rest. General Matters.

James Hannan, the South Washington saloonkeeper, who was arrested last week for firing his pistol in Murphy's livery sta- ble, where he had trouble with Newman Jordan, a colored hostler, was tried in Judge Kimball's court this morning. He pleaded guilty to charges of assault and carrying concealed weapons, and said he desired to make no defense. Jordan made an explanation of the affair. He said the trouble resulted from his re- fusal to let Mr. Hannan have a fast horse, when he thought he was not in condition to handle the animal. When he saw Mr. Hannan draw his weapon he grabbed him, and it was while they were struggling that the weapon was discharged. Judge Kimball fined Mr. Hannan $150 for the assault and $50 for having the weapon. —= Alley to Be Opened.
