TIE WoRKMRN OF WAsHINGToN.-TFrom
the Sunday Telegram of Baltimore, OF Feb.
1Oth.I-The following letter, from one who had
seen the play which has been attracting such
crowded houses at the Front Street Theater,
was received al the box office one morning
last week, from one who had evidently feltthe
good moral effect of the play:
BALTIMORE, Feb. ID, 1965.-To the Manager
Sir: send you this a testimony OF the
effect which the play Of last night produced
upon me, and which will leave to your dis
cretion Of using it as an advertisement 1 do
not pres ume that it is q fine literary display
on my part, but send it as truth, which no
eoubt Will answer as well, for often q truth
snfiices in the place of literary fiction.
This play presents at once two interesting
features; at the same time it is instructive to
the young, and teaches them to beware OF the
great evils of intemperanee 1t Is pleasing,
embracing many good points, which are only
worthy the distinguished actress. 1t stands
forth in originality OF style, which does not
tarnish 1t in the least; but, on the contrary, no
wi STYLE which
Is well suited for all temperaments. At once
1t is comedy, drama, ana might readily be
classed tragedy-considered as either, 1t
will be still great moral lesson. Fathers,
YOU who have children, take them to see and
learn, and thus perform parental duty. You
who are standing upen the brink Of the abyss
of ruin, 60 see this play, and probably the
mist viii be drawn from your vision and you
may behold the many rocks upon which you
have not become void of all perception, will
turn the few inches which intervenes between
you and the brink into acres, and tn US snatch

ABSTRACTION OF FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.
Last week young woman who has been at
work for several months past in the hydro
static press room of the treasury Department,
was arrested by Detectives Claryoe and McDe-
witt, of the Metropolitan force, for abstracung
fractional currency. She is barely fifteen years
Of age. and was employed in the room where
the notes in sheets rolled out, and IL ap-
pears that from time to time small amounts
were missed. A short time since lot OF nearly
two hundred sheets OF quarter notes about
$500 WORTHY was missed and shortly after
another small lot also disappeared. Suspicion
fell upon her and she was suspended by the
Secretary of the Treasury Detectives Clarvoe
and McDevitt then took the matter in hand,
and by following her up ascertained that she
was spending money with free hand, and
also that 1t was some of the stolen money. She
was therefore arrested on Friday morning and
49, Dali haal 49,
amount taken has been ascertained and her
friends hayesalready made it up.
ALADDIN.-This oriental spectacle has been
brought out very finely indeed, by Manager
Grover. The songs Of Misses Germon and
Grey meet with tervent success. The living
Fountain of Colored Waters is something new
in Washington, and therefore, ii deserves,
is well received. Mons. Matthew has very eff
fectually arranged the difficult ballets, inter
spersed throughout the play. koppltZ looks to
the music-vOcal and instrumenta!-which
statement is alone sufficient to vouch for its
excellence.
Aladdin will be played on Saturday after-
noon at cheap prices. We presume the little
people will turn out in full force to see their
most favored story represented in true splen-
dor.
PosTPoNED.-Thef further hearing of the case
of Dennis, Shedd, Seaman and Bauer, the
young men arrested on suspicion OF being con-
Ieeted with the shooting of George Russell,
near the Franklin engine house, a few eve-
next Wednesday at o'clock p. m. The young
men continued their bail for a hearing, except
Bauer, who was discharged upon his own
recogniZance. The reason of the postponement
is the feverish condition OF Mr.. Russell, con-
filming him to his chamber.
