Around the World in Eighty Days" was the
attraction OF the National Theatre last night, and
the appreciativc audience that was in attendance
showed conclusvcly how large an interest was
excited by the announcement All the parties
who assumed the special parts showed that they
were fully conversant with their lines, and every
scene proved how carefully had been the
reheatsas. No spectacle has been pro.
duc,d here for years which has been SO
carefully guarded, so far as its initial production
is concerned, and the entire performance was one
which has been one Of the most complete and
solid arrangements that could be made, and the
scenery and costumes were far more attractive
than have ever before been presented in this city.
There is no reason why this play should not re.
cciyc the most decided support.

The story OF - Young Lady Who NEistool.
The aitN Hell for the S,nnliaI


tic city HAIL for the Capitol.
The following Is n good story, and true one,
on guides for Washington:
Yesterday morning, in the height of the snow
storm, young couple sailed out from the Ebbitt
to visit the Capitol She had been here several
winters, and knew the city. lie had never visited
the capital OF his native land before They made
two trips to the middle of the street and back be-
fore they stopped car that went to the Capitol
direct. The car was crowded and went slow and
when 1t reached the City Hallshet thought they had
ridden about long enough to be at the Capitol and
spyind the white columns, she jcrkcd the bell
strap and hurried her companion out
and started with him to wade through
the snow up to Judge Cartter's headquarters He
thought II was rather curious that no paths should
be opened for Members and Senators. As they
foundercd up to the steps she .said waving her
umbrellas: This is the front" He looked but did
not have the heart TO express the sudden sinking
OF his pride Of country, which he had nursed for
years. This Is the House, she exclaimed MS they
pushed Into the Criminal Court room. "Thnt's
Randall she continued, pointing out Justice
James; Come over to the Senate" She said as
Judge Carriers room e" That's the eVice.Prcsident"
she whispered, indicating the judge
-" How do we get up into tile Senate gallery?"
she asked of an attendant. The latter stared and
politely pointed out the door. There the question
was repeated to the apple woman, who explained
that there were no galleries to that building and
that the Capitol was half a mile away. IL was a
sad awakening far the lady, but after waiting half
an hour for n delayed car the two rode on and
took place.
