Auction to Take Place Tomorrow Morning at 10 O'Clock—Sloan Auction Rooms. new clothes, clothes of the -brac, toys, articles of orna- ment and utility, in short “rummage” of every description, has been accumulating in great quantities at the auction rooms of C. G. Sloan & Co., at 1407 G street, for the sale that takes place tomorrow, when the gross proceeds of the disposal of mis wares will be devoted to char- ity. The “rummage” sale has been a suc- cessful endeavor in many of the other large cities of the country, and it is believed it will prove eminently so here in the nation’s capital. The patrons of the sale and the commit- teemen to distribute the. funds secured are citizens of prominence, whose connection with the enterprise, ‘together with its worthy object, has attracted to it much attention from all elasses of people in the y are Messrs n Joy Edson, S.

And as the crow Koes out there are echoed from femirine lips, whose dictum on matters of heart-interest it would be treason to dispute, such cx ments as, “Wasn't it beautiful!” “St perfectly lovely!" and kindred criticisms whose spontaneity leaves no possible doubt to their candor. The first applause fell to the share of the orchestra as it opened the evening's ceremonies by playing “Die.” The curtain arose on a street scene in Frederick; an ingenious scente centrivance and a pretty re of the part which the “front step: play in the social scheme of youth. A wonde ful lamp inside the house threw light from any desired portion of the stage whenever the front door was opened, and permitted audience to gaze on Julia Marlowe in shioned garb with a red rose in her charming enough to defy the laws of as well as the traditions of literature. There are two stirring incidents in the play; one in which Barbara wings the sharp- shooter who is about to kill her betroth and the other In which she !s shot by z jealous neighbor boy; a youngster who drifted into the plot rather unceremontous- ly and who like all intruders made no end of trouble. The death of Barbara's lover, admirably played by J. H. Gilmore; the subsequent assassmation of Barbara herself as she shook the Union flag in the face of Jack- son's soldiers, and the necessity under which the assassin’s father found himself of condemning his own son to death by or- ders from Jackson, all combined to give a tinge of melancholy to an occasion which at first promised to be cheerful, !f not hi- jarious. The troubles of the play seem to come all at once, some of them like thun- der claps from a clear sky. The sympa- thetic auditor will not see why the play producers, who had taken everything in their own hands, should have insisted in killing the lover and then following with the slaughter of Barbara herself, imme- diately after everything had been so cheerful and promising. It seems almost like a case for the grand jury. The play is likely to cause doubt whether it is a strangely serious comedy or an exceedingly frivolous tragedy. The piece was finely presented, the at- tention to detail being close and the pic- turesque characters well realized. Miss Marlowe was greeted with the approval which always awaits her, and applause was distributed through the various scenes in such & manner as to prove the general effl- ciency of the cast. The audience filled the theater and was unanimous in its approval of the star and in its sympathy with the heroine she portrayed. The piece was a constant and delightful pictoral revelation concerning times and people who are near enough to be understood and yet far enough away to be interesting. COLUMBIA THEATER.—A keen interest always attaches to the launching of a theatrical star, of whatever magnitude. Last night, at the Columbia, this interest was divided between Miss Mildred Holland and the medium in which she has chosen to make her first stellar appearance. It was a somewhat hazardous chance for her to take, for she hes essayed the most diffi- cult task of acquiring the prestige -of the personage of first importance in the cast of an unknown, untried drama. Yet, based upon such a classic as Schiller’s “Kabale und Liebe,” Miss Holland's new play. “Art: might be expected to prove a wor- thy medium for her debut. The difficulties under which the enterprise labored last night were such as to make any definite conclusions as to the merits of the drama- tization impossible. Last night's production was scarcely a fair test. It was marred by a series of accidents, over which the per- formers had no control. In his first en- trance Mr. Lipman, who assumed the try- ing role of Roland von Hohenlohe, the lover of Aria, tripped on the steps and tore the heel off his shoe, thus distracting atten- tion from one of the prettiest scenes in the play. Various other wnforseeable Inter- ruptions , occurred. The scenery, tasteful and elaborate, req’ «<i prolonged handling, and the waits were enlivened by the shouts of the stage hands, which provoked enthu- siastie applause in the audience. In the third act, the best of the play, a sword hilt flew from its proper place and thudded p one of the orchestra chairs, fortunate- ly empty, in a manner to suggest that stage flights are not always harmless. These and other contretemps disconcerted the actors in a measurable degree, and at the same time distracted the attention of the house. Under more favorable circumstances the performance would doubtless impress itself more satisfactorily. In spite of the difficul- tles, the audience last night was _respon- sive and even enthusiastic. At the close of the third act Miss Holland was recalled seven times. The tragic finale to the play, however, did not seem to be heartily ap- preciated. Mi Holland was nervous at times. She has dramatic power which would be enhanced by more repose and naturalness. When one or two absurd conventionalities have given way in the play to more acceptable devices her work will appear more finished and convincing. The supporting company is doubtless capa- ble of making the most of the play under favoring circumstances. Mr. Lipman was an attractive lover, but somewhat forced at times. Robert McV le, as Johann Win- ter, the aged musician, met the trying de- mands upon him admirably, as was to be expected from so experienced and capable an actor. Newton Chisnell, as Kellar, pre- sented the clearest-cut character sketch of the performance and won a round of hisses for his diabolism. Bertha Creighton pre- scented the malevolent Duchess von Wald- heim smoothly and artistically, with two gowns, which excited keen feminine admi- ration. One of the most satisfactory bits of the evening was the Delphine of Fran- ces Brooke, whi French-maid accent and style were unmistakable and excellent. The house was filled, the boxes holding a score or more of distinguished officials and citi- zens. i; LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. —There is great improvement to be noted in the work of the Strakosch Opera Com- Pany es seen in Wallace's tuneful and in- teresting: “Maritana’” at the Lafayette Square Opera House last night. The work was given with a snap and finish that was lacking in some of {ts former efforts, both principals and chorus combining to make the production a meritorfous one in man. ways. The chorus, which has always by @ strong one, shows evidences of much hard work, and its efforts in the tuneful sembles with whic ‘Maritana” abounds were worthy of and received hearty ap- plause. Payne Clarke assumed the part of Don Caesar de Bazan and acted and sang the role in a forceful and pleasing manner. He was in excellent voice and was repeat- edly recalled. All of the principals, in fact, received hearty acknowledgments of their efforts and nearly ail the gems of the piece had to be sung a second time. J. ray as arles II was effective, and hi solo was given in splendid style. His duct for tenor and baritone with Mr. Clarke also received instant and hearty applause. Geo. Chapman sang the part of Don Jose, the in- triguing prime minister, adequately, Kdward Webb, Harry Willams and Albert Wilder filled small parts acceptably. Clara Lane made a pleasing Git sang the role in good votce. Miss the contralto of the company sof Lazarillo. The duet by s and Miss Lane in the last exceptionally well done. Miss Marlan Lang don made quite a little out of the small part of the Marchioness de Montefiorl. The ra was well staged, although the c of the court scene were a little in- congruous. The orchestra added not a little to the effectiveness of the whole production by its good work, “Maritana’’ will be sung tomorrow and Friday evenings and Satur- day ‘matinee. “Carmen” will be given to night, Thursday and Saturday evenings and at tomorrow's matinee performance. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—"Man’s which opened in a most promising, at the Academy last night, is an melodrama whi ties of its ela: alth of Incident, » lowest and most bie order and virtue unhappily be earthly experi- ence. The rich and the poor have there a common meeting place, and the blight of in temperance is over them all. The features of “Man's Enemy” are as : and colorful as its incidents and range from the tetraces of Monte Carlo, with a dis tant view of the flluminated Casino and the moonlit water beyond to the purlteus of the public houses in Oldham Road and the noisome garret in White Chapel, where the villain and his miserable female ac- mplice meet the inevitable melodramatic nd where the triumph of the hero nin a vision of his marriage to the girl of his early love, which appears in a burst of light at the back before the fi curtain.

Miss Dorothy Rossmore is a typical cigaretie-smoking ad- venturess, daring heartless; Mr. Dun- can Preston's villain slumbers not in his efforts to make a moral wreck of the hero. Had he turned his talents to some useful pursuit with equal persistency he might have been a success in life. The comedy Hebrew in the hands of Mr. Maurice Lin- der was an excellent piece of character work. Mr. Thad Shine, as a Russian count and later a London “Bobby,” does well, and the rest of the cast fill their places in a manner to give the proper force to the thrills and starts and to #mpel to smiles and tears, which is the chief end of the inhabitants of the world of melodrama, made Miss bears many of the char- strong contrasts and vic and villainy of the THE NEW _GRAND.—The management of the New Grand this week feature the name of Cissie Loftus, who will not appear until next week; present Mr. Ezra Kendall, who, of course, makes good, and introduce a number of others. Even eliminating Mr. Kendall the bill, as a whole, may be said to be entertaining. It fs not excellent, and, ith one exception, 1s not poor. The usual large audience was in attendance last eyen- ing and seemed to realize full value for money expended from Mr. Kendall's efforts alone. The latter 1s in a class all by him- self. For years an actor star, he suddenly blossomed forth as a monologue artist, in connection with negro minstrelsy. Object- ing to the use of burnt cork, notwithstand- ing the allurements of more than comfort- able compensation, he naturally drifted into the ranks of the vaudeville entertainers, and as such now makes his initial appear- ance here. Mr. Kendall fs quaint, original and irresistible. He was responsible last evening for several pronounced cases of hysteria. The entertainment opened with an exhibition by Kudara’s Japanese dogs. What the animals do they do well. The Chappelle Sisters, acrobatic dancers, and little Alice Lewis in songs, dances and character imitations, filled the boards most acceptably. Harding and Ah Sid, “comedy” acrobats, have a turn that is 90 per cent horse play and 10 per cent acrobatic. Mile. Olive, a juggler from London, introduces some novelties, and a trio of Japanese boys, athletes, and Miss Tola Kudara, a Japanese girl, in a revolving double trapeze act, proved acceptable. The enjoyment of the evening was interrupted and the ap- pearance of the performers was delayed somewhat by James F. Dolan and,Ida Len- harr, who, according to the program, pre- sent an original farce, entitled “A High- toned Burglar.” It is original and is cer- tainly a farce. KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—There is another burlesque show at Kernan’s this week. It is Phil Sheridan’s combination, a branch of the Sheridan and Flynn original company. There {gan abundance of pretty girls and gaudy costumes, but the comedi- ans are not up to the standard. A bur- lesque opens the performance, in which a rube is made the center of the jokes of the entire company. “Four Married Men, or a Night of Jollity,” is the misleading title of the closing burlesque. Both, however, pledsed the audience. In the olfo Alice Les- Me essayed a few choice ballads and won recognition, Carr and McLeod contributed several musical selections, Mills and Hart had a big supply of nonsense and Fanny | Lewis {illustrated several peasing songs. The acrobatic portion of the program was by far the best. The Moulfere sisters, in a difficult and finished get om the horizontal bars, were thoroughly en§oyed, and the work of the Lowell brethers in their acro- batic specialty entirely satisfactory. The olio closed with the rag-time specialty, of the Baileys. < BIJOU THEATER.—The work of the stock company at the Bijou this week is above the average and erowded houses continue to be the ru’¢. AH the old favor- ites are given opportumities for clever spe- cialty work. The burfesqde this week is entitled “The Three Judges” In the bright olio are the Dolans, the Tyson sisters, Mu- sical Johnsons, Jess Dandy, Cook and So- nora, Lewis and Ryam amd the excellent Patterson brothers on the ‘triple bars. THE MARTEAU CONCERT.—Mr. Henri Marteau, the eminent French violin virtu- oso, assisted by Miss Lotta Mills, pianist, and Mr. William Waldecker, accompanist, gave a concert at the Columbia Theater yesterday afternoon that was not patron- ized as extensively as the abilities of the artists warranted. Mr. Marteau is not a stranger to Washington, although he has not been heard here for some years. His work yesterday showed that he has not wasted his talent or his time during his absence from the capital. He played a well- selected program that served to exploit his remarkable ability, ‘both bow and with fingers, while it also gave him opportunity to display his romantic temperament in a most effective way. Miss Mills needs no introduction. to a Washington audience, and her work yesterday.was up to the high standard she has established for herself in this city. With fire and energy worthy of a more robust physique Miss Mills combines an artistic temperament and a digital dex- terity that stamps her an artist of the first rank. Two concerted numbers were given by Mr. Marteau and Miss Mills—Schone- feld’s Sonata, dedicated to Mr. Marteau, and a suite by Schutt—in which both per- formers scored a complete success. The extremes of Mr. Marteau’s work were per- haps best exemplified in two compositions by the same author—a legend and the “Scherzo Tarantelle,” by Wienawski. In the former he showed a wonderful ability in tonal effects, while in the latter his mar- velous skill in quick passages was shown most effectively. Mr. William Waldecker acted as accompanist to Mr. Marteau in a thoroughly capable manner. Although the position was an extremely hard one to fill, Mr. Waldecker did his work not only to the satisfaction of the audience, but also to the evident satisfaction of Marteau. CHAMBER MUSIC CLUB.—A program of unusual and attractive merit has been arranged for the second concert of the Chamber Music Society to be given tomor- row evening at the Washington Club, 1710 I street northwest, beginning at 8:15 o'clock. The soloists will be Mr. Anton Gloetzner, pianist; Mr. Anton Kaspar, violinist; Mr. Charles Rabold, barytone; Mr. Joseph Finckel, viola, and Mr. Coda, clarinet. Mr. Rabold is connected with the Peabody Institute in Baltimore. The other artists are too well known in Washington to need even a casual word of praise or description. The program includes selections from most of the great masters and will prove a treat to all lovers of music. The patronesses for the concert are: Mrs. Francis G. New- lands, Mrs. M. C. Goldsborough, Mrs. A. 8. Worthington, Mrs. L. W. Lowdnes, Mrs. Downs L. Wilson, Mrs. Randolph Harrison McKim, Mrs. Henry Ives Cobb, Mrs. Sin- clair Bowen, Mrs. Robert Craig, Miss Emily Coyle, Mrs. E.

FUNERAL OF WALLING COLLINS. Popular Georgetown Boy Who Was Killed in Action by Filipinos. The body. of the late Walling Collins of Georgetown, who was killed in action in the Philippines last August while serving as a private in Company B, 2lst United States Infantry, was buried at Arlington national cemetery yesterday. There was a large attendance of friends, the young man having been very popular, and many for- mer members of Company I, 3d Virginia Volunteers, in which he served during the Spanish-American war, were present. A detail of cavalrymen from Fort Myer es- corted the body from the vault to the grave, and after the Episcopal burial service had been conducted by Rev. Dr. Barton of St. John’s Church, Georgetown, the soldiers fired a volley. The 2ist Infantry was rep- resented by Lieut. James Love. Mr. Joseph Willard, who was in command of Company I, 3d Virginia Volunteers, sent a magnificent floral tribute, absence from Washington preventing his personal attendance. A pathetic episode occurred at the conclu- sion of the ceremonies. A few feet away from the grave of Private Collins was a coffin containing the body of another sol- der awaiting interment. No one was pres- ent to pay the last sad tributes, and the superintendent of the cemetery asked Dr. Barton if he would say a prayer over the casket. The minister did so, and the coffin was lowered into its final resting place. Se Only Six and One-Half Hours, Wash- ington to Old Point Comfort. All rail, via Richmond.
