OPERA HoUsE.-U and !, the great
laugh provoking comedy, which will be
seen nj the opera House tonight, IS de
scribcd as amusical satire, dealing with
the trials and lribulations Of those un-
tortunates compelled to live in flats,
and abonnds in funny situations and
bright and humorous dialogue. The
story is consistently told, and the must
cal introductions are all new and pretty;
The Washington Mandolin, Bani and
Guitar Clubs concert at the Opera
on Thanksgiving night, from the present
outlook will be the musical event of the
season. The renowned Hub Smith,
Forrest D. Carr. the basso, and Eddie
Walsh. are with the club. Mr.. Emil
Kubel. vioEnist. well-known here, Is
also member of the organization, SO
all who attend are assured an enjoyable
evening.
To witness John Thompson. the com
edan. in his hilarious son Hand, al
the opera House on Saturday night,
November 26. ought surely to prolong
ones life year. His wit, humor, com
icalities are said to have the effect upon
melancholy person Of dispensing
gloom. In "On Hand" there is an absence
of murder. robbery. abduction, villains or VII,
lainv: no love-making or sckly emotional

We desire to call special at
tention to this department Of
our business which, under the
decidedly successful manage
ment of our last cutter, has
steadily grown in popularity.
The we'll conceded fact Of the
great superiority of custom
work over the best ready-made
garments is SO patent to all
who have ever given both a
trial that it is hardly necessary
to dwell on this subject, but in
this connection we wish to
compare the relative cost Of
the two; the difference between
the ready-made garment and
the custom does not exceed
from S. to $40 a suit. The
ready-made garment never fits
as if it we're made for you, and
the result of a few weeks
wear testihes to its defects of
imperfect shrinking and bad
work. We guarantee to keep
all garments made by us in
perfect order during months
actual wear free of charge.
We make all kinds of suits
from good reliable business

Robinson's Slayer Acquitted by the Con-
sular Court at Yokohama.
WAsHISGroS, April "a caplegram
was received at the Navy Department
today from Commander J. p. Bartlett,
United States steamer Marion, an.
nouncing the acquitai by the consular
court at Yokohama, japan, of Lieuten-
-ant j. II. Hether,ngton, u. s. N, OF
the murder of Cover Robinson. This
action is final and Hethenngton can
not again be tried tor the same crime
in any other court. The news OF
Hetherington's acquittal was received
with marked evidences of satisfaction
ID naval cities.
The killing Of Robinson took place on
February IL. Robinson was all En-
gishman of excellent standing in Yo-
kohama and also one of the leaders of
the foreign society. Cover was a very
handsome man and had many lady ad-
mirers, among them the wife OF Lieu
tenant HetheringtOn, to whom he be-
came devoted and persistent in his at
tentions. Lieutenant Hetherlngton,
who is an Iowa app ,intee but a few
VI ars out of the naval academy, was
ordered on his present cruise in May
of last year. He mad got his promotion
to = lieutt nancy of the junior grade
in SEPTEMBER, 1890 and was marrled
short time afterward. Mrs. Hethering-
ton is very beautiful and also a very
vain little woman, and her conduct ex-
hibits ignorance of where the line
should be drawn by q MARRIED woman
IN receiving attentions from bachelor.
Robinson, forgetting all honor as well
as ali danger to himself IN nIs infa na-
tlon, wrote several letters TO her declar-
ing his passion ed the6s- falling Into
the hands OF Lieutenant .HetherlngtOn
he warned Robinson to cease his atten-
tons. Robinson, however, persisted
and Hetherington shot HIM dead while
he was out driving.

WILL ERECT A CATHEDRAL.
Planning to Build Fine
Church in Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Though the
fact is not generally known Episcopa-
lians Of the diocese of Maryland are
determined to erect cathedral in
Washington that in size and magnIfi.
cence will be entirely worthy the na-
tional capital. Bishop Paret has had
the idea IN mind for some years, but
only lately have anv active steps been
taken looking toward It's realization.
Miss Mann of this city, made the
first donation in tho shape of plot
of land worth $4,000. A num-
Der OF pentlemen then gave another
plot of land worth $4,000, and lastly
Messrs. Newlands and Waggaman gave
land worth $3.50. 900. Besides this about
$S2 600 has teen contributed in money.
OF which 5000 was given by Miss Mer-
rltt of New York, on condition that
$4,000 be raised before January l.,
1898. In addition to these gifts already
IN hand Bishop Psret Is assured of u
number of other large contributions
from wealthy people outside of Wash
ington ne room as the citlzuns of
Washington manifest an interest in
the project. The bishop has ac-
cordingly appointed Rev. Nelson Falls
of Georgetown TO make thorough can
vsss of the city and diocese, aud ii Is
confidently believed that the response
will be general and generous. They
have selected q beautiful spot beyond
the city limits at the junction of Wood
ley aud Kings roads. IL will afford
ample scope for the most striking
architectural effects and II - so large
that il will be easv TO erect around the
catbed 81 the various iustitut ons of
learning and mercy with which the
cathedral will be associated. The
hisnop will try TO raise an endowme It
fluid of 5000, 900 As the proposed
cathedral is to be in sense the metro
poitsn church of the episcopal church
Of the United States, ebiscopalisus
generally will be appealed to for con-
tributIon.
