Jus" will appear as "Pythias," a part
which he plays in most artistic man
Eer and in which he will doubtless add
to the many friends and admirers he
made as Appius. The parts being di-
rect opposites, Mr.. Temple has an op.
portunity to display his wonderful yer.
satility. Mr.. John J. Collins has been
specially engaged to play "Dionysius, ,

REFUSED TO PAY THE TAx.-Mr. J.
w. Hates, general superintendent Of
the Postal Telegraph Cable Company
has written from Richmond to Mayer
Strauss saying his company deem II
unjust to be compelled to pay the one
hundred dollars specific tax recently
levied by the City Council upon teIe-
graph and telephone companies. Mr.
Hates asserts that the expenses OF the
Alexandria Office are more than the
receipts, and that unless Council re-
tai Telegraph Company will cease taking
local business and devote itselfto inter
state work. Mayor Strauss has replied
to the letter, stating that Council hay
ing fixed the amount of the tax it is bis
place to see that it is paid if the COM
pany continues to transact business in
Alexandria.
