An Objectionable Remnrk.

A ilashy youth named Frank Sprague
was before the Police Court this morning
charged with using insulting remdrls to
Miss Flora Dudley good-loolSing
young lady. She told the Court, with
good deal of warmth, that the young gem
tleman called "S3 for rooster" after her
every time he met her on the street.
This remark originated out Of some one
tying tin can onto q rooster owned by
Mr. Dudley,and Mr.. Lipscomb paid Mr..
Dudley S3 for injuries 10 the rooster, al.
though he claimed that his ([ipscombs 81
boy did not attach the can to tile rooster.
Mr. Lpscomb also paid Judge Smell IS
about thus case. Youne % S1r9gae a '; was az;
fined $5. The fowl has now graduated
into a $l3TOOster.

party and instead Of taking his guests to

Albaugh,s-M. u. scanlnn.

A fair house saw w. ]. Scanlan in
"Shane-na-Lawn" at Albaugh's last night
and though ii is not new IL was enjoyed.
Mr.. Scanlan is, of course, the star of the
stage, and without him there would
scarcely be an enthusiastic interest. He
has sweet, sympathetic voice and sings
well, and he puts charm i'm all that he
does that never loses its fascination. On
the company supporting him not great
amount of praise can be bestowed. Mr..
Scanlan's new Irish songs strike popular
chord and he Is sure of unstinted ap-
plause at every appearance. "Peek-a-
Boo is, however, arriving at an age
when il should be retired on a pension
in recognition of services rendered.
"Shane-na-Lawn" is purely Irish and 1t
has many admirers who love it for the
country 1t represents. Again tonight.
The NatiOnal-KelIar.
Kellar, in his oriental occultism and
other wonderful exhibitions, attracted
good house at the National last night and
mystiiled the people to the full extent.
The opening part Of the exhibition was
in nearly every respect the best ever seen
in Washington. HIS feats of legerdemain
are remarkably skillful and they are
mostly new. "Psycho" and Echo the
ulc lculuIcSi anu Jue
boy cornetist, is inexplicable. This
automaton, sitting out in full view of the
audience, plays the cornet like high
priced orchestra blower, and how he does
it or where the wind comes from are
pair of mysteries past finding out. The
cabinet act was Of the usual style, and the
oriental juggler, Mana Sahib, while in
teresting was so much in the shadow that
the Imagination was not given q chance
to spread All in all, however, it is a
very superior exhibition and well worth
the time and money necessary to see ii.
Again tonight.
Kernan's-''The Early Birds"
"The Early Birds" gave good per-
formance to good house at Kernans
last night. The company is entirely re-
organized SINCE its last appearance, and
includes number of the standard artists
OF the variety profession. Fun is the
predominating attraction of the enter
tainment, and the efforts in this line are
unusually successful.
The Bijou-"Eagle's Nest"
The usual good house was present at
the Bijou last night to witness the per-
formance of the sensational success,
Eagles Nest" with Edwin Arden in the
leading role of Jack Trail. The attraction
is of the familiar stamp which chills the
blood with horror or sets 1t in rapid cir

Henriettas, French Cash
meres and BroadcIoths will
lead in fashionable dress

In view of this fact we have
reordered and are now
showing the most extensive

indication of their becoming
very scarce in a short time
(many mills being already
sold away ahead Of their
production), we are con-
strained to advise all ladies
who anticipate purchasing a
costume OF one of these ele-
giant fabrics to delay no
longer, particularly if they
wish a dress pattern of the
