GRANDPA AND BABY MCKEE.

They Visit the Engraving Bureau-The
President Keeps His Hat On.
The big gong had just sounded 4 o'clock at
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing on
Wednesday afternoon. 1t was the signal for
work to stop, and Immediately there was
bustling of the printers, the ladies, and other
employees toward the wash rooms. OF
course there was good deal of noise. Sud
denly, in the midst of it, small man,
bundled up in q heavy chinchilla coat. lead
ing child by the hand, appeared among the
throng as if he had dropped from the roof.
.'It's President Harrison" exclaimed one
girl, ''and just look, that's Baby Mckee,
And so it was. The President had been
sitting at ease in the White House, in the
Green Parlor, the duties of the day over,
when, gazing across the sea of green grass
between him and the bureau, the fancy struck
him to visit the place, for he had never been
there before. Like good grandfather, he
took Baby Mckee, and off they started toward
the place where greenbacks are turned out, and
where the internal revenue stamps are printed.
Chief Meredith was surprised, and it took
presence of his visitors. When at last cor
rallied he took the President and Baby Mckee
in charge and did the honors. He introduced
the President to all the superintendents, who
explained the workings of the various
branches. While being introduced to the
lady superintendent it was noticed that the
President did not uncover his head, but kept
his silk tile on all the time Work had ceased,
but to show Baby Mckee how money is made
one Of the printers set his machine to work
again. 1t was a treat to Baby Mckee, at
whose antics and inquiries the lady employees
went into ecstasies. But toward the President
they felt somewhat aggrieved, for, as one put
1t, "George Washington bowed his head and
took off his hat to his slaves, and it's pity
his successor could not do the same to lady

Bureau, and expressed himself highly

Bell, Josephine Knapp, Annie M Myers, Chauncey
Olcott, w. f. Rochester, Fred Frear, William
Blaisdell, Charles w. DUNCAN, Cora Hender-
son, and others. "Clover," which will be the
opera produced on Monday night. is the
latest work of the prolific pen of Franz Won
Suppe and has had remarkable success.
"Clover" is bright, charming, and full of
melodous music. The name is derived from
the parting gift-a four-leafed clover-of a
maiden to her lover, who is about to set
out upon years adventurous travel, prior
to becoming Benedict. In the mad
whirl of Partisan dissipation he for time
forgets the true-hearted little maid, who, as
he supposes, is far away In little Bavarian
village, but who is, in fact, following him
with her maid, and In various disguises never
loses sight of him. On the battlefield she
shares his danger, and In Venice, when tired
of the gay life he has been 7iving, he longs for
peace and happiness, she discloses her identity
to him. Digby Bell, "the little giant of them
all, !" as Chicago newspaper calls him, has a
character which is peculiarly adapted to his
style of comedy, and he keeps the audience
in roar of laughter. Helen Bertram and
Chauncey Olcott are the lovers of the play,
and the rest of the company are exceptionally
well cast The opera will be produced under
the direction of Carl Martens, who will WELD
the baton over large orchestra and before a
chorus of sixty people. ''Clover' will be
repeated Tuesday night, and on Wednesday
and Thursday nights Andrews's charming
opera, "Indlana," will be revived. ''The
Black Hussar' will be given Friday and
Saturday nights and Saturday matinee.

wife and his training

of his wife and his training is
equally complete, and thus these clever people
compliment each other in manner irresistibly
pleasing The company is distinctly English,
and is, therefore, thoroughly drilled-a matter
of great consequence in a profession wherein
art without training is absolutely ineffective
The plays selected for Mr.. and Mrs. Kendal's
Washington engagement, will be "The Iron
MASTER" which will be given on Monday and
Friday evenings. On Tuesday evening the
comedy-drama, "Impulse,' will be given for
the first time in this city. GAN for Her." the
play to be produced by Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall
on Wednesday, will reveal their versatility and
taste, varying as it does from the plays which
have hitherto been identified with them in this
country. 1t is full of dramatic purpose and
dramatic sensibility On Thursday evening
the Kendals will present ''Scrap of Paper"
a play familiar to our theatre-goers. The
Palgrave-Simpson adaptation of Sardous
comedy, which is used by the Kendals, follows
closely the main outlines of the original. The
dialogue never halts or falters. 1t moves with
with the swift precision of which Sardou at his
best is master. In "The Queens Shilling,n
which will be given for the farewell per-
formance on Saturday night, there is not only
capital comedy for both the leading roles, but
nice touches of deeper feeling to which they
know well how to impart eloquent expression.
1t is noticeable that the repertory of these two
English players adheres tenaciously to what
may be called an English sense of the romantic.
Their charm is not, strictly speaking, charm
of lofty endeavor but the pleasant mean of
the most easily apprehended emotions.

''The Fat Mems Club" at the Bijou.
There will be whirl of jollity at Harris's
Bijou Theatre this week, under the auspices
of 'rhe Fat Mems Club" The club will hold
is session under the direction of that cele
brated heavyweight comedian, j. G. Stewart.
There will be series of uproariously funny
incidents, strun upon a slender but consistent
plot. The idea of the skit is this Professor
Baton, a German music teacher, is ambitious
to have his opera produced. He proposes to
join the Fat Mems Club in the hope OF meet
ing manager who will put it on. His wife
learns Of his intention and proceeds to frus-
trate 1t. She has pronounced ideas rs 10 her
rights, ana doesn't propose to tolerate the
interposition of a club. She makes an arrange
ment by which her spouse is to be subjected
to an initiative ceremony that will be unique
in the ingenuity of its discomforts and ludi-
crous ordeals The plan succeeds, and the
German Professor is put entirely out Of humor
with clubs. The main idea is to furnish
thread for the fun and specialties that
abound In the performance, and this is accom-
plished in a most thorough manner. The CON-
pany includes Miss Daisy Ransden Warner,
John X. Drew, Char es M. Ernest. Miss Maude
Beverly Miss Juno Burbank, and Miss Edna
Farren, besides the three Albion brothers in
acrobatic feats, and Edward Kendall and Miss
Florence Marion in character sketches. j. G..
Stewart would alone make any play funny.
He is the celebrated fat comedian who was so
popular in s'The Two Johns''

SCHOONER MARY WRECKED.

News has been received of the
wreck Of the schooner Mary, which
left this port Wednesday last. 1t
appears that the schooner arrived at
Makaweli on Thursday, the day after
her departure from here, and had I'M
loaded some of her lnmber, of which
she had several thousand feet on
board. She then left for Mahinauli,
two miles from Makaweli, where she
arrived in due time and discharged
her freight for that port. About 6
O'Clock in the evening of the same
day Captain Maikui gave orders to
weigh anchor, intending to continue
the voyage to koloa, port near by.
Slight head winds were prevailing
at the time the schooner set sail,
which increased so rapidly that the
captain gave up all hopes of ever
reaching the open sea. The captain
manfuiIy stuck to his post and gave
hurried orders, but all in vain, as q
few minutes afterward the schooner
was driven On the coral reef, when
she became total wreck. The
schooner is owned by Messrs. Allen &
Robinson, and is said to be only part
ly insured. A portion of the remain
ing cargo was saved at the scene of
the wreck. The schooner Mary was
formerly the French schooner Ham
monia and came here Ilvm Tahiti.
She was purchased by NJ. Pico, who
fitted her for the co.. ing trade.
The schooner was later purchased
by the present owners.
