Persistent Fire ON Cumberland Street

q Sheriff Cram has taken the old C0rser
mansion on Cumberland street at the corner
of Myrtle, and has been moving in. Sunday
a fire was made in the furnace, as Mr..
Grams family expected to occupy the house
today. In the afternoon fire was discovered
about the furnace register in the dining
room. The chemical was sent for and re-
sponded. The men had to tear up the floor
lag consider ably in order to extinguish the
flames. Later, the fire broke out twice and
Sheriff Cram concluded that the trouble
arose from some defect in the arrangement
of the hampers that forced all the heat
from the furnace into the register. AS re-
suit of the fires he had the furnace banked
AMI put Waterman into the house last
night. The damage to the flooring was
slight. An oil carpet was burned.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Hawaii.

The last performance of Emerson q
Mitchell's comic opera of Hawaii" was
given to a crowded audience at City
Hall Saturday evening, and it went off
with the usual life and tunefulness.
The applause and encores were constant,
and there were many floral presentations.
Mr.. Barnet one of the collaborators OF
"1492" and Injured Innocents," was
present and expressed himself as much
pleased with the opera.
After the opera the entire company
enjoyed supper at Union Station cafe,
where there were remarks made by
,Messrs. Emerson, Mitchell, Barnet, Ma
than Clifford, and others, and music BY
members of the Athletic Club. We nm
derstand that the expense of producing
the operasswas about $4,000, and the re-
ceipts will exceed $4,000. We cannot add
any more than we have already said IN
praise of all who have had any connect
ion with the affair. They have surely
given presentation of opera that for
brilliancy, beauty, and general excel
lences has not been equalled in this
city.

Tt was unfortunate for the excellent
company that, under Charles II. Thay-
er's management, produced "The
Guv'nor" at Portland Theatre, that
there was such powerful local attract
Gin playing against them in City Hall.
Had it not been for that circumstance,
Portland Theatre would lave been

A few days ago Mr.. l.. p. Shoemaker, in
communication to The Star, called at
ton to vandalism which was being per-
mitted within the boundaries of Rock
Creek Park-vandalsm which is completely
eliminating many of the picturesque fea-
lures of what will some day be this city's
particular pride. Today Mr.. John Saul-of
the City Parking Commission and thor
Cughly competent authority-joins Mr.
Shoemaker in his vigorous protest against
this wanton destruction of natural beau
ties. Rock Creek Park is now liz the hands
of those who by law have been designated
its permanent guardians. the transfer hav-
ing just been completed: they should
hasten to protect the park from those who
are doing irrepaTable damage to it's flora
and who see in the great quartz boulders
over and past which the creek so pic
turesquely dashes and foams nothing more
than good material with which to repair
roads.

What the Change Would Mean.

Wash. Cor. Baltimore sun.
The business men, the bankers and mer-
chants of Washington are strong advo-
Gates of the proposition to extend civil
service to the government departments
and to every District employee That por-
ton of the population OF Washington en-
plOyed in the government service has
never been too stable. and, while its sta
bIlity has been much improved by the ex-
tension of civil service, there is greater
room for improvement by placing every
empioye of the departments under civil
service protection. thereby making every
emplOye feel tina. his position is not due to
political influence and that he will not be
discharged long as he discharges his
duties satisfactorily. OF course, there will
be more or less 'rticism of this civil SER
vice extension. ds there always is but 1t
will not serve deter Mr.. Cleveland from
his purpose of placing every government
Office as fPl as is compatible with public
service, under civil service.
