Entertainments.


 A. B. Anderson's "Natural Life" company gives three nights engagement with Sat- urday matinee tonight at Proetor's Opera House. A Hartford critic reviews the drama as follows: "His Natural Life" had one of the largest audiences of the season, and all seemed to heartily enjoy the piece. It must be admitted that the play has many strong situations and good dialogue. It is story of Australian penal life, where one man un- der an assumed name suffers the penalty of another's crime. This is simple enough tale, but in detail of plot and sequence of events "His Natural Life" presents it in an interesting form.
 The accomplished and beautiful Mile Rhea appears for the first three nights of next week at Proctor's Opera House in her new and sue cessful historical play, Josephine, Empress of the French" Rhea's coming is always an event in the theatrical year. It means the best plays admirably acted, magnifcently costumed and carefully mounted in all re- spects. Her new play k said to be enc of the finest productions of recent years and gen. uine treat is anticipated.

Dangerous and Inadequate.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAE:
Allow me to add word to the paragraph in
your issue of Tuesday as to the necessity of a.
proper building for the agricultural depart
ment The library, collections, records, and
apparatus in the main building are certainly
worthy of a comparatively fre-proof structure
but even more than this q proper care for hu-
man life should inspire every member of Con-
gress with determination to as soon as posi-
bic remedy the condition of affairs now exist
ing in that building. A few weeks ago, for the
first time in my life. had occasion to call
upon some OF the employees, and found them in
an upper attic room which could only attain
after long passage through a mass of roof
| timber. As / passed numerous collections
stored IN dry boxes, jars of alcohol and other
| lnhammable material, my sense of the daily
| danger in which they lived, the absolute i'm
possibility of escape in case of fire starting on
the stairway, made me expostulate with them
for being willing for single day to risk their
scientific collections and their own lives in such
a fre-trap. / think il is safe to say that no in
spector of public buildings in any city would
! allow such an infammable collection and build
ing to exist near other structures No insur-
ance company would take risk on such a
! building without extra premium.
1t Is, believe, not recognized as the policy
OF our government to leave its valuable records
| in such danger of loss by fire. The destruction
of records that have accumulated for MANY
years may possibly be blessing in disguise.
but is not a rational method of wedding ont
the trash, and we need not by the erection of
such buildings, invite the application of this
| method of reducing our stock of old papers.
must also add that the section of the ma
tional museum building devoted to the working
rooms of the anthropological section seem to
me in equally great danger of a catastrophe.
both from fire and from injury to the health of
| the enthusiastic curator. Visitors will find
Prof. M with an assistant cooped up in a
room about 12xl2xS, without ventilation and his
face and cough both tell of the need of fresh air
! Evidently the collections of the museum have
| entirely outgrown the capacity of the building
to display them or of the employees to handle
them. and this institution, that does so much to
disseminate knowledge throughout. not only
the United States. but the whole world. deserves
the best that American statesmen can do for il.
