A Fine Building, With All Modern Ap- pliances, Open to the Inspection of the Public Tomorrow. It is not often that a bread-making es- tablishment is looked upon as one of the sights of a great city, but this is what has been accomplished by the Havenner Bak- ing Company in regard to their new bakery on C street between 4% and 6th, which has just been completed. In the early part of last summer this company, which is composed of Edward and Benjamin 8. Graves, purchased a wide frontage adjoining their bakery establish- ment, and on this site they have erected a large building, 90x140 feet, which they have equipped as a model bakery, and which will be epened to the public tomorrow. Af- ter the purchase of the ground and before the plans were drawn a member of the firm went to Europe, aml inspected the large plants of London and Paris, as well ything that was new in this coun- cured the services of the KnoWn architect and builder, Mr. Jas. L. Pars’ to whom is cue a large part of the credit for their fine building. They have made the interior of the building so a y expect to invite v the process of making attractive to wi While it has a height of three sto- 1 the Street, the upper stories extend oniy a comparauvely short distance, thus iv an opportunity for light and air in th rge room en the first floor, which the entire ground.

It seems indeed a for the manufacture of such le of food as bread, which is so sen- ve to the fluence of surrounding: The aim has been to make this room en- tirely and its cleanliness is ap- parent t e careless observer. Is The w of the room are lined with white meled brick, and the ceiling is rvered w 1 plates of ornamental de- sn and painted white. The flour is brought from the third story, where it is stored; then down in the second story, sre it is thoroughly sieved and aerated; to the mi and thence to the ov and is delivered through the rear doors into the wagons as loaves of bread. The building is supplied with pure water from an artesian well, which was drilled by the firm. This water, which has been ana- lyzed by Professor Mew, and is pronounced pure and free from any organic matter, will be used in mixing the bread. The building is lighted by electricity, furnished from their own generator, which was installed by Royce & Marean. The plumb- ing was done by Shedd & Bro., and the boiler, engine, elevator and steam heating by Forsburg & Murray, all of this city. Here bread only wiil be made. The old building will be remodeled and used exclu- sively for the manufacture of crackers and biscuits, for which this firm is celebrated, their specialty being the well-known cream biscuit, which is considered superior to anything of the kind on the market, as well = large variety of plain and fancy crackers, which they are baking daily and supplying the trade fresh from the ovens, which are preferable to those shipped :rum other cities. The firm, it may be added, rs not belong to any trust or combine of kind. This practical duplication of the Haven- ner Baking Company plant is an indication not only of. the expansion of the business of city, but also demonstrates the vitality an old business firm. The business was established in the year 1815, by Thomas Havenner, who opened a little bake shop on @ portion of the same site where this ex- tensive modern now stands.

LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. —An audience of such large proportions and containing so many men and women prom- fnent and distinguished in official and social circles as that which gathered in the Lafayette Opera House last night has sel- dom assembled, even in this city of such things. A glance over the house dlis- cerned the Seerctaries of State, Treasury, Navy and Agriculture, the Attorney Gen- eral, the Postmaster General, the British ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote; the Chinese minister, General Miles, General Corbin, General Townsend, Secretary John Addison Porter, Pension Commisisoner Evans, Solicitor General Richards, Con- troller Dawes, assistant secretaries of the navy and war, Allen and Meiklejohn; Cap- tain Dickins of the navy, Major Hiestand of the army, all accompanied by parties, while the Metropolitan Club seemed to have been temporarily deserted, to judge by its well known members present. ‘The Fortune Teller” as a production is one of the most gorgeously arranged affairs that have ever been witnessed here. Scenery, costumes, properties and calciums have been provided with lavish hand, and there is every evidence of a desire to please in every direction. The music ts in many re- spects the best work that Mr. Victor Her- bert has yet done, and it exemplifies his melodic fertility and his versatility. He has provided tunefal and catchy songs for the principals and noble strains for the chorus, as well as rhythmic dances and pleasing topical songs, while there is in all this a varied national color to the music that show the composer's depth and eatensive reading. The most striking feature of this phase of Mr. Herbert's work is the Hungarian “czardas,” which is work- ed out with remarkable power and effect. Mr. Harry Smith's book is filled with bright lines and although much of the humor is not new it is made attractive by the way in which it is presented. His story is ingenious, the idea of having the prima donna having two doubles being novel, and he ‘has worked out the complications aris- ing from this state of things in good shape. He provided material for the work of three comedians and Mr. Perley has furnished the comedians, who make everything pos- sible out of their cpportunities. This music and book were ordered and written espe- cially to exploit a young woman who so far as we in this city know had never done anything but sing Yvonne in “The Seren- ade” with the Bostonians, and when she sang the part here it was under another name, and not until the next day was it generally known that Alice Nielsen had sung. There was more in her, however, than the antiquated Bostonians could see, or rather she was too handsome, too bright, too good a singer and too magnetic to be allowed to remain in that organiza- ticn, and Manager Perley, with his usually keen perceptions realized that if he got the proper vehicle for the little woman there Was money in her. The result has shown the correctness of his judgment. Miss Nielsen has won her way into popular favor in every city in which she has appeared. She has an at- tractive personality, and seemingly enjoys her own performance as much as her au- dience does. She throws her whole soul into her work—likewise her sole, for she is a lively dancer—and there is every evidence of her sincerity. She has not a big voice, but it is fresh, with remarkable carrying power, and has been highly cultivated. She is delicate and dainty in person as a piece of Dresden china. She is a great ‘go’ and deserves all the success that has come to her. Mr. Perley has surrounded her with an excellent lot of principals, and a chorus, the feminine contingent of which is as large a collection of handsome young women as has ever been gathered into a single company. Mr. Eugene Cowles’ popularity was de- monstrated by the warm reception he re- ceived when he made his first appearanee and by the applause which followed his every song. He stands unique as the pos- sessor of the most noble natural organ ever put in a man’s throat, but with little knowledge of how to intelligently use it. Richard Golden,Joseph Herbert and Joseph Camthorn furnished no end of fun. Frank Rushworth was a good tenor, Margarette Sylvia was effective as the French prima donna, and Misses Jennie Hawley, May Boley and Paul Nicholson were ail’ good. The chorus sings as well as it looks, and that is saying a great deal. In fact, the ensemble work is deserving of especial praise. NEW NATIONAL THEATER.—The first scene in “Way Down East” discloses a lady on the left hand side of the stage industriously agitating a churn. On the porch behind her is a huge dinner horn; on 4 bench is a tin basin, and at the opposite side of the stage is an old-fashioned well- sweep. These things are but tiny inci- dents in a setting which is remarkable for its general effectiveness, but they are sig- nificant assurances that the play is to have plenty of action in it. In due time each of these utensils is brought into evidence. ‘The country bumpkin, whose laugh sounds like a menagerie at feeding time, blows the horn with humorous directness, into the face of a professor whose specialty is en- tomology profes tha The general conduct of this ris calculated to arouse suspicions y is very bad for the brain. entomol« The tin basin is assaulted by the burly who snorts and splashes in a most tic manner, and from the well is lifted, by fair hands, an old oaken bucket full of crystal water from a depth of at least two and a half fect. These things have nothing whatever to do with the de- velopment of the plot. They are merely in the nature of corroborative detail. They prove that the authors are indulging in no deception when they announce a play of country life. The embellishments are the chief attraction and quite justify Mr. Joe Grismer in emphasizing on the program his services as a professional collaborator. In spite of his endeavors there lingers a sus- picion that the piece was originally de- signed as a problem play. Sentiment is almost unanimously against the proposi- tion that young women who are made vic- tims of mock marriages should be made to bear the social consequences of the villain's pt her regardless of the past, light to his chivalry to turn a cold shoulder to the expedient which Goldsmith so kindly provides in the Vicar of Wakefield and make the individual who performed the m iage a parson in fact, thus turning the tables on the villain and putting the young woman on a_ footing where a defense of her reputation will not require an abstruse thesis on sociology. The fact that this would not be original in no way fails to harmonize with the gen- eral scheme. Still, the plot does not ob- trude itself very often, and the villain is a mild unmeaning sort of person, who is probably bad because he does not know any better and does rot deserve the dignity of poetic justice. ightly unpopu- lar, as a man who would wear a dress suit at a backwoods party deserves to be. He makes a conspicuous denarture from tra- dition in his total abstinence from cigar- ettes. This shows a rare dramatic per ception of human probability. Quiet ef- fects censtitute the strength of ‘Way Down East,” and if he were to smoke cigarettes in the presence of these simple stalwart people he would doubtless be mobbed. Much of the susvense attaches to the snow storm. Eager expectancy is not rewarded until the third act, but when it arrives ft is all that white sand. and paper-clippings can make it. And the wind is particularly grew- some. The manner in which It continues to how! for another victim for several mo- menis, every time the door is opened, is ally biood-curdling by the sul- jlence which it preserves on all ‘Way Down East” is all that be desire: The charac’ rengly drawn and there is the irresistible charm which attaches to a contemplation of the daily life of fellow human beings. There is sincere pleasure in watching panorama of simple domestic events. If your child Scott’s Emulsion as OM and ts repelled looks — upon Cod-liver For Your Child.

Bartlett, the manly son, Dave, and all-the rest of the coun- try folk whose manners may be slandered, but whose sweetness of nature and. pic- turesqueness can never be impeached: COLUMBIA THEATER.—There was but one verdict after the curtain went down on the last act of the “Red, White and. Blue" at the Columbia Theater last night. It was expressed in a general way by a roar of cheers that went up from every part of the house and individually by the most enthusiastic exclamations as the spec- tators poured out of the theater. ‘The Red, White and Blue” is an undiluted melo- drama, and there is no denial on the part of the management that it was devised in order to be timely and provocative of pa- triotic enthusiasm. Those who went last night—and they filled the theater—went foreknowing that if they had cheers and “tears they must prepare to shed them now. They had their patriotic sentiment on tap, but it had, a la the solar plexus blow, to be tapped fn the right place and with the proper sort of a blow. “The Red, White and Blue” did it, and the authors, Messrs. John Stromberg and Frank Kee- nan, and the manager, Mr. Savage of the Castle Square Opera Company, are to be congratulated. Nothing is lacking to make the produc- tion complete. The play is skillfully con- structed; the lines bright and often express- ing sentiments that have in print and speeches thrilled the country over and over in this eventful year; the situations have the form of sincerity and novelty; the cli- maxes are in the right places and worthy the name; the characters not new, but more clearly drawn and having more vi- tality than ordinaryythe scenery complete and handsome, and the actors, every one, the living personification of his part. The characters are Americans, Cubans and Spaniards, and the four acts show pic- turesque scenes and historic places around the city of Havana, Cuba. Two parts stand out with particular prom- inence, not solely because they have better acts to incarnate them, but, as well, for the reason that they, for the first time, intro- duce to us on the stage two types who reached the heights of prominence in the Spanish war—the genuine newspaper man, rot the war correspondent, and the fighting parson. They are very human and very sympathetic fellows, and their popularity was theatrically demonstrated last night. Raymond Hitchcock, the ubiquitous sing actor and comedian, was the newspaper man, and his seasoned sense of humor brought out all that was comic in his part. As Phineas Weaver he was imperturbable, quiet and suggesting strongly the “get- there,” nineteenth century news gatherer. Chas. Kent, a well-known actor, as Rev. Father Savage, chaplain, U. S. } was a vigorous advocate of the “prayerful and dry powder” parson. David Murray as Lieutenant Wilson showed that he can im- prove his opportunities. R. F. Sullivan and C. H. Stewart were goad as the serlo-comic seaman and marine-reapectively. John Ince, jr., gave an @dmirable portrayal as Sanza, the insurgent leader. Stephen Wright was good as that evil thing, a Span- ish colonel. W. S. 8t. Mair, a very capa- ble actor and a Waskingtenian, pleased with his effective and artistie work as Manrique. Gertrude Quinlan as Metty Hale sustained her difficult role with gare force and dis- cretion. Lida McMillam was sympathetic as Blanche Wilson. Lottie Alter made a pe- tite and. vivacious Oifwia. Maud Hosford was painstaking as Meroedez. Little Hazel Kirk Clark as Olive: promises well for the future, when she is grawn up. Myra Clark as Mariana was worthy ef commendation. The supernumerayes were in large foree, and the battle scenes were effctive in their hands. The orchestwe’s playing of patriotic airs, under the guifing baton of Director Minster, brought runt apple use, x » ACADEMY.—The Hamlon Brotherstiaew “Superba,” enlarged and remodeled and brought up to date in every particular, at- tracted an audience to the Academy of Musi> last night that not only filled all the seats, but occupied about all the available standing room; af least, on. the first floor. The production is so well known that it: mere announcement is enough to crowd house, but even those who are most famil. dar with it.were hardly prepared. for the excellent show given last night. The piece is staged with that care characteristic of the Hanlon Brothers, while the costumes anda other accessories are fully In keeping with the elaborate splendor of the scenery. Some of the transformation scenes’ were remarkable examples of expert stagecraft, notable among them being the fairy ship en the sea of roses, and the one that brought the production to an end, and dur- ing which pictures of the popular heroes of the war were thrown upon a screen, each one eilciting a perfect storm of ap} The ballets were the prettiest features of the performance, and all were adequately costumed and skilifully exeeuted. Those that attracted the most attention were the “Bathing Girls,” the “Brigands,” the “Mid- night Gavotte,” the “Polar Ballet” and the “Ballet of the Orient,” the latter being es- pecially pretty. Oharles Guyer had the principal part, that of Pierrot, and suc- ceeded in raising a laugh at almost every turn. And here should be mentioned soi of the really wonderful mechanical devices that are used for the purpose of making poor Pierrot unhappy. They are numerous and sufficiently varied to cause consider- able surprise as each new one is sprung These were most in evidence in the second act in the lodging house of the evil queen and were sufficient in themselves to stamp the production as meritorious, Among the specialties that of Heloise Dupont, who had the part of a Dutch girl, and who talked Royal Baking Powder costs a little more at first, though it goes further in the end, as it is stronger. But Royal is beyond all question as to its whole- someness, while as to other powders there is always a doubt. " CITY ITEMS. At Jobnstow's, "T0 St. large bottles Rumferd’s Y.

KERNAN'’S LYCEUM THEATER.—The “Parisian Widows” frisked and frolicked at Kernan’s last night and a large audience gave them ‘a royal welcome. From the name which Manager Weber kas selected one would imagine the company is all of the gender “feminine. This is far from right, since there !s a male contingent by no means to be despised, in which sevéral first-rate comedians appear. There is Billy Mack, Walter Goldie, Max Castellar, Billy Gilbert and Al. Shean, all first-class ecmedians, and they contributed in a large Measure to the enoyment of the’ evening. The burlesque “A Night on Broadway brought out all the pretty, shapely girls, who frisked under the leadership of Miss Sadie Cushman. Lizzie Van and Melytha Adems also contributed to the beauty of the burlesque. There are three scenes to the burlesque, which carries the interest throughout the show. Incidentally a first- class olfo is presented, in which Castellar and Hall do an acrobatic sketch, the Bur- man sisters sing pleasing songs, Golber and Goldie have a new character sketch, Cushman and Holcombe, the best and most refined of vaudeville sketch teams, sre seen in “A Business Transacte and Boyce and Black and the Manhattan Com- edy Four appear. All in all the perform- ance is good enough not to miss.

William Winter Jeffer- son, son of the venerable Joseph Jefferson who has been quite seriously ill for some time, played Bob Acres, his striking resem- blance to his father and close copy of his manners, creating a favorable impression.

Great improvements have been made dur- ing the past few months in the line of the Pennsylvania railroad between Washington and Baltimore and New York. Many curves have been straightened, and the line thus materially shortened; one hundred pound steel rails have been laid between Wash- ington and Philadelphia and the roadbed made equal to any on the Pennsylvania railroad system. These improvements, to- gether with the superior terminal facilities at New York, the fast time and the match- less morning and afternoon Iimiteds, make the Pennsylvania railroad the popular line between Washington and Baltimore and Philadelphia and New York; for it is the smoothest, the safest and the most perfect railroad connecting the capital and metrop- olis of the nation. The new congressional limited, with Its handsome Pullman par- lor, observation, smoking and exquisitely equipped dining cars, all illuminated by electricity, is by common consent the most magnificent day train in the world.—Adv' night, meetin; AMUSEME NTS. tation from the | End i SIK TORTURED BABIES AND RED MOTHERS instant relief, rest and sleep in a warm bath with Witicura SOAP And asingleanointing with CUTICURA, purest of emol- lients and greatest of skin cures.
