Mile. Rhea as Camille.''
Tho CdmtHe Of Mile. Rhea as rendered at
Ford's last evening was an ideal performance.
She does not give to the part that severely out
lined portrayal which characterizes the work
Of Modjeska, nor has she the brazen efrrontery
Of Bernhardt. She gives a tone and a touch Of
purity to the character that none of the artists
that have preceded her have reached. In the
scene with A1ndnd there was purity in her
action, and depth of human feeling and
honest affection that completely won the
hearts OF her entire audience. The struggle
between love and duty in the scene with Ar
nidnd's father was mastery effort, as was the
closing ball-room'scene, In which Camille en-
deavors to fulfill her promise to tho father by
breaking her own heart and that of her lover.
The last act was especially effective. Her
glance at herself in the hand-mirror was not
over-done, as Is usually the case. 1t was a
natural act, changing expression of the eyes,
an almost imperceptible start, a plteous sigh,
and q flood of tears, completing the effort. Her
meeting with Ar7ndnd moment later, her
struggling for life against hope, and her final
death, were realistic and strongly marked,
leaving twothirds of the audience in tears as
the curtain descended, shutting out the sight
of her rigid form, with its horrible death-like
stare. That Rhea has completely captivated
theatre-goers in this city was evinced by the
frequent recalls from the large and fashion
able audience, and 1t is the general verdict
that she is the most fascinating and talented
actress that has visited the city of late years
Her supporting company is excellent. Mr.
Gotthold appeared to much better advantage
than he did rs DR.. Sdre. "Adrienne" will be
given tonight, and will be crowded, no doubt
with the fashionable people Of the Capital.

RObbfng N PensiOner.

Robert Mallon, an old soldier, upward of 80
years Of age, came to Washington some days
ago TO draw his pension-money, and con-
templated returning to-day to the Soldiers
Home at Hampton, Va, of which he is an in,
mate. Last night Mr.. Mallon took lodgings Mt
house on First street, where accommodations
room, and after falling asleep felt some one
pulling his waistcoat away from under his
pillow, and, as the pockets contained $50 of
and discovered that 500 gold piece had been
taken. Mr.. Mallon dressed himself and sum-
moned policeman, who found the $40 piece
concealed under the mattress OF Wilmot
Robey's bed, In the same apartment. In the
Police Court to-day Robey was committed to
jail, in default OF bonds, TO await the action OF
the Grand Jury on charge of second ofrense
OF petit larceny. The first offense OF this
courageous and daring thief was stealing 40
cents from 10-year old colored boy, and the
second for robbing a decrepit old man.

The Reported E,opement.

The following paragraph appeared In the
EreniRg Dizziness last night:
GA REpoRTED ELoPEMENT.-A sensation was
caused to-day by the disappearance of q man
employed by Adams Express Company, who,
1t is reported, has eloped with woman, leav-
ing his wife and five children in this city"
CRITIC reporter applied in vain to the po-
lice for information concerning the event, and
then called at the express ofIice, whore the
statement was characterized as a contempti-
agent OF the company, stated that every en-
ploye reported for duty this morning and
every day for several weeks. No member had
eloped or showed any disposition to do so, or
that any employe of the company had a wife
and five children. The officials are indignant
over the report, manufactured as It is out OF
whole cloth. Perhaps this is the Stars ver-
sion OF the elopement of Patrick Clancy, an
eXpressman, an account of which was fur.
nished to the readers Of THE CRITIC as news.

The Roeth.Bauer shooting Anair.

The little messenger boy, Henry Roeth, un-
I'll recently employed in the office Of the Amer
ican District Telegraph Company, was put on
trial this morning in the Criminal Court be-
fore Justice wylie on the charge OF assault
with intent to kill John Paul Bauer, the night
manager, on the morning OF January 8. The
testimony Of the prosecuting witness was to
the efrect that the defendant used insulting
Roeth that he was % discharged, h S Whereupon re S he
drew the pistol and fired the ball, taking ef-
feet in the eye Of the witness.
On cross-examination Bauer admitted that
he had struck Roeth on a former occasion;
that he was day messenger under the orders
and control OF the day manager, and that one
night he kept him out OF bed until o'clock
the next morning because he would not let
him (Bauer) have a deck of cards that the de-
fendant was keeping for another person.
The prosecuting witness testified that he
had been arrested five times. one on suspicion
OF kicking partition in church, another for
assaulting a little boy and third for being
drunk and disorderly. Tho defendant testi-
fed that about $50 o'clock in the morning
Bauer came up and seized him and threw him
on the counter. He asked Bauer who pulled
the blanket from Off him and Bauer mado at
him. He said that his fist was doubled up and
the witness said nothing to him.
gaser asthsnrea shsn told He him rats5 ,hat nt
Mr.. Holland, the day manager, came, and then
he and Bauer had conversation and Bauer
told witness that he was discharged. Words
ensued and the witness fired the pistol In the
air to frighten Off Bauer. He closed with him
and another boy named McCallom, and in the
bcufne the pistol was dlScnarged. Bauer mad
beat him several times, and on one occasion
he felt the effects Of 1t for several days, and
another he struck the witness with cane and
hit him In the face with his fist
He had taken his lunch and divided
1t with Bauer, lent him money to buy food, and
he owed him, to this day, $1.25, borrowed
money.
His Honor instructed the jury to consider
the youth of the boy, the provocation, whether
or not the pistol went of by accident or not
and return such verdict as the facts would
justify,
The case was submitted without argument
The jury were absent 1ve minutes and re
turned with a verdict of not guilty.
