AS THE CROWDS COME OUT.

This Miss Gallatin who takes the principal
lady's part in "My Awful Dad" at the Ma
tional is girl with wonderfully expressive
eyes, full OF moods as brook, sometimes
sunny. sometimes running dark under deep
trees. They are tender eyes, but oh! SO
coquettish. This coquettishness shows itself
in all of its most brightest colors in
"My Awful Dad" She is widow, gay
widow of twenty years, who according to her
former husbands jealous will can never marry
man younger than fifty. She very properly
opeys the letter OF the instrument, but
knocks the spirit into a cooked hat my marry
ing the Awful Dad" butterfly of fifty, who
is still sowing his wild oats freely and gather
ing roses between while. The widow is one
of the roses, but she is one of many.
The other characters of this pleasing COM
edy you remember-Mr. Wheelock as the re-
markably excitable Austrian count, one Of his
best character studies; Miss Sanders, always
SO delightful and all OF the rest of them 50
well filling their parts. 1t is in every way an
excellent performance.
Miss Gallatin's work this week is the best
that she has so far done, spirited and bright
and always with the efficient help OF her eyes.
I have a little story of her former work and Of
her people which you would perhaps like to
hear.
Judge James B. Bowlin. Of Missouri. who
represented his state here for eight years and
was twice sent as ambassador to one OF the
South American republics, was her grand
father; Samuel L. Sothard, of New Jersey, at
one time acting Vice President. was her uncle,
and she is the grandniece of the famous Al
bert Gallatin. Her father, General Albert
Gallatin jenkins. was the ante-bellum repre-
sentative from Virginia at the age OF "a, and
was subsequently one OF the wealthiest men
of the state where he owned an immense
plantation. on which this pretty little actress
with the eyes was born. As many now living
remembers, the estate was seized by
the government when her father followed
the causeof the South, and after
ward became the subject Of the historical
Harmon VS.. Jenkins suit to establish the right
of belligereuts The suit was lost and her
father was killed the last year OF the war.
Her mother was belle here during President
BuchRnan's administration. and was admired
and entertained at the White House. Miss
Gsllatin was educated in the South, and
from a child has loved the stage. While her
success is largely attributable to natural
ability, her work shows the results of study
and har application. Her former experience
with some OF the best companys and as a
star has justified and received high commen-
dation. and although she was not with this
company last Summer, she has won much
favor the past two weeks. Miss Gallatin is
living In Washington at lexington.

THE Civil Service Reform Association has
determined to erect a memorial to the late
George William Curtis, and from the char
acter of the men having the matter in charge
we may be assured that the work will be
pushed with all possible expedition. Mr..
Curtis was in the front rank of American men
OF letters. and it is eminently fitting thar his
old associates, among whom he was honored,
admired, and loved, should establish a suita-
bic monument to his memory. Mr.. Curtis
was cordially disliked by the practical politi-
clans, by some of whom he was styled the
man milliner," but his name will live in his
tory after the inventor of the epithet has
been forgotten.

A Whole Cargo Lost.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Atlas line steamer
Andes, which arrived last evening from Port
Limon, was found to-day to have come to
port with her cargo. consisting of $1,000
punches Of bananas, representing a value OF
s20.o 900, completely destroyed. The steamer
had to leave her dock this afternoon and pro-
csed to sea to dump the spoiled fruit. The

At the District Buildings.

They have found that a recorder to assist the
inspector of gas and meters in making his tests
ousy employed, and that an adequate salary for
such service alone would be $500 per year.
The Commissioners have sent to Mr. John H.
Buck, Broadway and Nineteenth street, New
York city, an impression of the seal of the Dis
trict of Columbia, together with a copy Of the
law adopting the seal This action was taken
in compliance with request Of Secretary
Gresham.
The Commissioners have ordered that any
person convicted of violating any Of the plumb
ing regulations shall be fined not less than &as5
nor more than $500 for each and every such
offense- They have ordered that the shove
order constitute an amendment to be added to
the second paragraph OF section 1S OF the plumb
ing regulations.
The Commissioners recommend favorable &C.
tion upon House bill 1873 relating to the sale Of
gas in the District Of Columbia" The Commits
sioners believe that the price for gas proposed
in the bill. namely, 81 per 1000 cubi. feet, Is
reasonable and just, and that the standard Of
Illuminating power of the gas proposed by the
bill is feasible and desirable.
Permission has been given Richard Goodhart
as chairman OF the executive committee OF the
Knights of Pythies convention, to erect review
ing stand on the south side of Pennsylvania
avenue, between Seventh and Ninth streets
northwest, for use on the occasion of the parade

next.
The Commissioners avereturned to the House
District Committee House bill 1888 making
permanent provision for the police fund Of the
District of Columbia"
by adding after the word, District in line twenty
six, the words provided further, that the fur
ther sum Of 5000, or SO much thereof as may be
necessary, OF the moneys received as Aforesaid,
shall be applied to carry out the provisions Of the
act making appropriation to provide for the ex-
penses of the government Of the District OF Co
Iumbia for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1885,
and for other purposes, which establishes the

MULEY HAssAS. Sultan Of Morocco, is dead,
and the supposition is that he was murdered.
Muley was lineal descendan. of Mahomet,
being the fourteenth OF the dynasty of the
Aides, founded by Muley Achmet, and the
thirty-fffth in order from Ali, who was both
uncle and son-in-law Of the prophet. The
family relations Of the faithful seem to have
been badly mixed from the beginning.

GRADUATION AT THE POINT.
Gala Days When Cadets Show the Result
of Their Training

or Their training.
WEST POINT, N Y, June l1.-There were
more people present at the concluding exer-
cises at the Military Academy this afternoon
than has been known for many years. From
5 to o'clock COL Mills gave drill in e1-
tended order, better known as "skirmish
drill and it proved Of great interest to the
hundreds of spectators.
The entire corps participated. and at the
command formed into lines and prepared to
do battle with an imaginary enemy. For
nearly an hour there was continual firing,
some standing. some kneeling, and others
lying down. During the battle several OF the
boys would suddenly drop as if wounded or
killed. After this drill the cadets returned to
the barracks, changed their blouses for dress
uniforms, and reappeared upon the green
sward for final dress parade.
After they had gone through the usual
maneuvers the band played Home, Sweet
Home and the Girl Left Behind Me-
and thus closed the drill Of the graduates.
AT given signal lust at the close the menu
bers of the graduating class stepped from the
ranks and marched abreast to where Col.
Mills was standing, and he addressed them,
saying:
Young gentlemen, I congratulate you upon
the conclusion OF your four-years course OF
grade of the army. ! will not add further sug-
gestions to these which have already been made
to you Gs TO what you should or should not do
when you Join the service, except this. which
give as piece OF advice: As young officers per-
form with eIactness ard precision every form Of
military duties and requirements as though you
were a cadet. and assure you that In its per-
formance you will commend yourself TO your
superior officers My best wishes 60 with each
and every one of you, and will watch with in
terest your progress and success in the service.

The annual graduation hop was given to-
night at Grant hall, and the attendance was
SO unusually large that all could not get in
side at one time. and had to be content with
dancing by turns. The graduation exercises
will begin tomorrow at 1890 a. m. Gen.
John G. Black will make the address. and
Gen. Ruggles will deliver the diplomas.
