Three gentlemen met at the old mans
office yesterday morning at 10 o'clock to
transact some business with the city. l..
Morrison thought he was sick on Saturday.
and instead Of going to the doctor for pre-.
scription, he went TO sixteentb.class saloon
and there took nine drschms OF the tincture
of whiskeore, one drink of aqua and two
ounces Of brown sugar, which so affected
his stomach anc head as to make him think
he was lord Of all he surveyed. Result
Morrison was in jail all day Sunday and all
night, and will now be on the chain gang for
eight days.
Next came Tim Ryan and John Irwin.
Both were rather drunk ON the holy Sabbath
day. This might have been forgiven, but on
being locked up they commenced and kept
up all day TRADE Of curses against the au.
thorites that be, even including his honor,
and If there is anything that would make
the judge implaeable, it Is this. They not
being able to pay els, were condemned to
work 1t out on the chain gang.

Of executive business pcniing, and until 1t Is
disposed of, the work of legislation will not be

fed with tho selection Of Mr.. Williams. But
1t will be remembered that 1t was also dissatis-

Ia not too much to say that this action on the
part OF the court is in great measure due to
the late searching investigation into the. sub

gates, of which Mr.. Long Is the chairman, and
the results of which were SO fully published in

THE DRAMATIC SEASON.

|
Tho amusement season has opened In Ne mos,
| brilliant manner, and II the promises made by
our managers regarding the future are faithfully
fulhlied, the public will have good cause for
| graduation In the smaller cities complaint n
frequently made, with Justice, that managers I'm.
pose upon their patrons by flowing handbllls and
high sounding advertisements, and by these and
similar "tricks Of the trade" lead them to believe
that first-class attractions TO be offered. The
poor. confiding public 20 to the theatre to See the
immense attractions offered, only to retire In dis
gust at the miserable manner In which the mana.
gers have treated them. In other words, the
flaming bills and hixh.sounding advertisements
have proved dcluslon and a snare, for instead Of
the artists Of distinction promised the audiences
are made to listen to second.rate talent that no
theatre in the large cities, with any regard for Its
reputation, would tolerate for single night.
Our own managers, we are happy to state, are
gentlemen with greater foresight, and Washing
ton has now two theatres that for beauty of hnish
and acoustics have no superior in the land. The
managers OF them have 50 far at least given us
entertainments worthy OF both their theatres and
their Intelligent and critical patrons. The open.
ing Of the National has been one Of tho chief dr-
matte events Of the season, not only here but

FoRD's OPERA HOUSE.

As CONVINCING PROOF that Mr.. Ford intends to
furnish his patrons with the best entertainments
that can be originated, he this evening presents
Mr. Jefferson, an actor that stands almost nj the
very head Of the dramatic profession. Wherever

cssayed to initiate him in his delineatiOn Of the
character Of the good-natured vagsbOnd, but
none have succeeded In dimmlng the laurcls of
the great artist, whose name Is almost synOnO-
nous with that Of Rip Van Wrinkle. Mr.. Mckee
Rankin has essayed the part Of Rip, and has
gained many admirers In his dellneation of the
character, and bir. Robert McWade recently
played 1t for four weeks TO good houses at the
New York Olympic theatre. His version of Mr..
Irylng's legend We styled entirely new and orig.
inal, and In many respects It did differ materially
from that Of Mr. Jefferson. Notably among the
new idehs presented by Mr.. MoWade was the
placing Of askeleton Of poor dog Snyder up on
the branch Of a tree, u position ho Is supposed to
have attained since he was chained to It when the
tree was mere bush twenty years before. The
idea at irst seemed striking, and Mr.. McWadc
was supposed to have gained point but when
the impossibilty Of q Skeletons remaining to-.
gethcr for nearly quarter OF a century was taken
into consideration, the absurdity Of the trick be.
came at once apparent, and Mr.. Jeherson's idea
VI ptinsHH hVE shsuNt upVu NV s'usN w
all strongly commended
while, therefore, these gentlemen have essayel
the part Of RIP with considerable credit, 1t has
yet remained for Mr. Jefferson to win the one
great triumph in the role that has made hls name
fnmous the world over, and earned him fame and
a competence that he richly deserves. In his
hands the poor, simple Rip Van Winkle Is made
a being who not only gains our sympathies, but
also commands our respect for his weaknesses and
our forgiveness for having brought his family into
poverty and disgrace by his lazy, drunken habits.
The character 10 so full Of humor and pathos that
an actor who can portray II successfully-who can
amuso without giving ohensc, and draw tears
without seeming an idlot-must be great artist
indeed. That Mr.. Jefferson docs both so ndmra-
bly, proves him fully entiticd TO that distinction.
As his engagement ia for one week only, and as
those who will doubtless flock to see him comprise
