Albaugh' whimsical crew, 1.-THE
Pirates Of Penzance." INDUCED in merry
choruses. in spiriting song and the odd
bubbles in which w. S. Gilbert so much
delights to the eminent satisfaction of
good house at Albaugh's last night. The
opera was sung In an exceptionally eff
cient manner. 1t is one Of the old operas.
But 1t is one Of those exceptional works in
| lighter composition which do not pail on
familiar acquaintance. The more the pub
| lie sees of it the more charming some of
| the melodies become. George Broderick, as
excellent. The part of Mabel was sung by
Miss Laura Willard in most graceful man
ner, both as to the music and the action
Charles Bigelow. as Maj. Gen. Stanley,
gave an exhibition of quiet comedy which
was as enjoyable as Anything that he has
done on broader lines. Maurice Hageman
was the portly policeman, and showed
marked ability as a character impersonator
| to Illness and the part which she was to
have filed was taken in a very competent
manner by Miss Belle Travers. AS a whole
the performance was smooth one, the
best endeavors of efficient scenic artists
costumers stage management, musical d.
rection and individual performance by the
company combining to give an adequate
presen tation of one of the prettiest operas
in the whole field of effervescent compost
ton. Tonight the juvenile opera company
which has impressed itself so favorably on
the community will sing the first act of the
opera, the Strakosch company finishing
| the performance. The occasion will be GER
tainly unique and no doubt doubly enjoy
able.
National.-Miss Julia Marlowe began her

| agem" and "Chatterton," two plays ad-
| mirably presenting the dramatic diversity
| having
best effect on the audience. because the
! gloomy play came last and sent the people
home in sadness instead Of smiles. Why
| the order was not reversed does not ap-
pear. THE Bellies Stratagem' must be a
| good play, because 1t has been before the
public ia years. and 1t still interests and
amuses, and with Miss Marlowe os Letitia
| IT surely has representation not less forci-
| BILE and artistic than any preceding this.
| Miss Marlowe, while not the ideal actress,
| Is idealistic, and her charm lies in the do
ing as in the suggestion. Possibly her work
| is not better described than the poet
Richard Realf, described 1t long before
she was born:
Back of the canvas that throbs the paint
er is limited and hidden;
| Into the statue that breathes the soul Of
the sculptor Is hidden;
Under the Joy that is felt lie the infinite
issues Of feeling;
Growing the glory. revealed Is the glory
| that crowns the revealing;
| Sweet the exu1tance of song but the strain
| that precedes it is sweeter
| And never was poem yet writ but the
meaning administered the meter"
In "Chatterton," contrasting so strongly
! with the boisterouS yet delicate comedy Of
| Letitia, Miss Marlowe as 1.-The marvellous
| boy presents strong piece of work At
| the close of the first act Of THE Bellies
Stratagem" she was called before the cur
tain three times. Pleasantly reminiscent
| and charmingiy artistic was Miss Rose
Eytinge in both plays, and bright bit of
| sunshine was Miss Kitty Wilson. The men
in the cast were Mr.. Henry Jewett, Mr.
II. A. Weaver. ST.. Mr.. Amory, Mr.. Cole
man and Mr.. Francoeser. Mr.. Jewett's
Doricount was we'll well done. but Mr.
\ Jewetts fine teeth scarcely warrant his
continuous smile.

Damage Awarded.
| On the 18th Of June, 1892, a little four
year-old son of Police Sergt. VIM. f. Fall
vey fell or was thrown from a car of the
| Metropolitan Street Railway Company
near Sd street and Indiana avenue. The
little fellows left leg was so badly crushed
! by wheel of the car that 1t became neces-
sary to amputate the limb above the knee.
Later, Sergt. Falvey instituted a suit
against the road, claiming $4,000 dam
| ages. The case has been on trial before
Judge Cole and a jury since Friday last
| This morning the jury returned verdict
| in favor of the PLAINTIFF for 1880.
| The child, accompanied by it's mother and
| sister, was riding in one of the open sum-
mer cars of the road. and was seated on
| the inner side of the car. In getting down
] from his seat 1t appeared that the little
| fellow fell between the rail attached to the
| seats to the track below, and a wheel pass
! ed over his leg. 1t was contended by the
| paintin that the car was really danger
| GUS one. in that its seats projected over the
| body Of the car. And hence that when the
child attempted to get down from his seat
| there was nothing to prevent him from
plCnging through to the ground below
