In the opera of the optic he de- clares he ts an aeronaut, and adds that perhaps he “ought to not,” but the lovers of his comicalities are glad that he is. Daniels is too good. too clever, too droll to ecrfine his humor to one part or one opera, and one almost wishes his repertoire was larger that more of his versatility might be seen. “The Idol's Eye” is perhaps tne most popular of the latter day operas played in Washington. Its tuneful waltzes and marches, and the irresistable ‘Tattooed Man” are whistled on every corner. It has been said that “The Eye's” music is too popu for when one goes to the theater where it is being sung one knows exactly what is to be heard. But the hear- ing, the scenic splendor, the pretty chorus girls, the convulsive funniness of Cupid Daniels and Aif Wheelan are irresistible, and each time the production comes to town the cozy Columbia at once hangs out the “S. R. 0.” sign for all the week. Dan- iels is something of a chorus girl osculator, and you can bet he knows a thing or two about selecting the best lookirg ones on the market. All of the old favorites are seen in “The * the only changes being Miss . who this year sings the role of high priestess of the temple, and John B. Park, whoplaysthe American lover of Mara- quita, replacing D'Arcy. ‘The latter change is especially appreciated. As Abel Conn, Daniels has much latitude and is funnier, if possible, than ever before. Alf Wheelan as the Scotckman and Will Danforth as the fire cating Cuban were given ovations by their host of friends. Helen Redmond and Norma Kopp have their old parts and are both charming. “The Idol's Eye’’ will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night, with “The Wizard” as the matinee bill tomorrow. SS PROPER CARE. ALLEGES I” Napoleon Forrest Sues Dr. Mallan for Damages. Napoleon Forrest today entered suit for $10,000 damages against Dr. Thomas F. Mallan, a surgeon of Providence Hospital. The plaintit alleges he sustained a com- pound fracture of the bones of the right leg February 2, 1898, and five days later be- czme a patient at Providerce Hospital for the purpose of teceiving surgical aid for the reuniting of the bones and healing of Fis injuries. The defendant, it 1s alleged, was then by profession a physician and surgeon at the institution, and as such as sumed the treatment of the plaintiff, and attended him a pril 15 last. Mr. Forrest alleges it was the duty of Dr. Mallan to use reasonable and ordinary care and skill in the treatment of his injuries, so that he might regain the use of his leg but, it is alleged, he did not and would no » and employ reasonable and ordinary but made default, and so carelessiy d the plaintiff that neither of tho red bones was brought and kept in ce, and the fractured ends were not brought in alignment ene with the other as properly as they should have been.

Veteran Volunteer .Firemen'’s Asso- ciation Entertaines— Action Upon Death of Colg Amos Webster. —_——_ Mr. John F. Riley wag to have read last evening before the Weteran Volunteer Firemen’s Association:a paper sketching the history of the old volunteer fire com- panies of the Distri¢t, wut owing to the in- clemency of the weather the attendance was small, and the reading of the paper was postponed till Thursday evening next, when it is hoped by all concerned that the hall, corner of ivth and H streets, will be filled. Mr. Riley read a few sketches of some of the companies. He stated that the Ana- costia company was organized December 8, 1818, John Davis of Abel taking an active part, and a rival organization, known as the Navy Yard company, was formed shortly after. In 1808 or 1804 Congress bought and located an engine in the navy yard, but he could find up to 1818 but two occasions when it was outside of the yard. The Columbia was organized September 22, 1804, but disbanded subsequently. In January, 1818, at Queen's Hotel, it was re- organized, and was continued in service until the steam fire department came into existence. The Alert company was organized at the Lancasterian school’ house, 14th and G@ streets, but had an existence of but a few ye In 1819 the Perseverance was or- ganized in the central portion of the city and May 15, 1830, a company called the Pa- triotic was formed and succeeded to the control of the Perseverance apparatus. Need of Better Equipment. In March, 1839, Andrew Coyle, jr., pub- lished a card cal-ing attention to the need of a well-equipped company, and in 1840 a meeting was held at the Masonic Hall, cor- ner of 4% and D streets, when another or- ganization, known as the Perseverance, was formed. It was first located at the Center market, in a shed, and afterward in a house near the angle formed by Pennsyl- vania and Louisiana avenues, where, after the apparatus had been wrecked, the build- ing was destroyed by fire, in November, S55. The Franklin company was formed De- cember 31, 1814, Peter Lenox, General Weightman and Mr. Glover taking part, and it was reorganized The en- gine house was located on triangular reservation formed by Pennsylvania ave- nue, BE and 14th streets till 1857, when a new house was erected on D between 12th and 13th streets, and it remained in ser- vice till the modern steam fire department superseded the hand apparatus. The Union was organized in August, 1804, and located north of the treasury. The company appears to have disbanded and was reorganized April 3, 1839, at a meet- ing held in the town hall over the West market, Pennsylvania avenue and 20th street. It was located at 10th and H streets. The Northern Liberty was organized in 1889, and in 1840 apparatus was purchase and house built on Sth street, within what is now Mount Vernon place. Subse- quently a portion of the school building (Abbott) corner of Gth-and L streets was occupied by the company. Most of the mem helonged;to the Know Nothings, and in IS5S the company was disbanded.

A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Riley by the veterans jase night and a handsome bouquet was presefited him by Mr. J. Rich- ard Brown.

Moliie Fletcher, nine years old and small for her age, appeared in Judge Kimball's Court this morning in the custody of two ladies connected with the board of ciui- dren's guardians. A paper reciting that she is the child of drunken parents and therefore without @ suitable home, was filed. The Fletchers live at L street north- west, and three brothers of the pretty little child informed the court that both mother nd father drink and neglect the child. It was their wish that the court take their sister from the parents in order that she may be properly cared for. The futher, who was considerably under the influence of liquor, was present in purt. He admitted that he gets drunis oc- ionally, and sometimes remains drunk for several days. Then he proceeded vo at- tack his sons, but the Judge refused to hear him. ‘The child was taken from her parents pnd turned over to the board of children’s guardians. -—— $1.25 to Baltimore and Return via B. and O., Saturday and Sunday, No- vember 12 and 13, good for return until fol- lowing Monday.

Chief Parr Views of Sit: Capitol Building. The explosion and resulting fire at the Capitol Sunday evening again demonstrat- ed, it is claimed, that the immense build- ing is not as fully protected against fire as it should be. At least such is the opin- ion of Chief Parris of the District fire de- partment. In a communication to the Dis- trict Commissioners, Mr. Parris today recommended that the attention of the proper authorities be called to the matter, and the Commissioners will forward a copy of the chief's letter to the architect of the Capitol, with their indorsement.
