Entertainment to a Big House.
Humor could scarcely be presented 10 an
audience iu better fashion than by the
chalk Illustrations of Mr.. Bert Poole and
by the familiar methods OF our old friend,
Bill Nye. These artists make a strong
team, as was evidenced by the house
which greeted them last evening at Met
zerott Hall.
People We're, of course. very anxious to
know how farming would be exposed
and, while il would not be fair to give
away Mr.. Nye's plan in detail, il may be
permitted to say that he began with dam
and traced the agricultural methods of
the ages down TO Secretary Morton. His
experiences with cows, benneries- incu-
bators and raZorback hogs were treated
in the light fantastic vein which SO many
halls OF this country are crowded nightly
to hear. Perhaps the best compliment that
could be paid to the entertainment is that
the audience We're very much disappointed
that there was not more of Bill Nye-
Not at all that there was too much of
Bert Poole. On the contrary, he is bound
to be a favorite. He describes himself
as a lightning cartoonist, which is partly
4 good descriptive phrase. but he is really
a topical artist and an exceedingly clever
one at that. He selects his stories from
the down-to-date current of events, and
tells them with a few masterful strokes
of the chalk pencil in pictures which
require no impressionist education to under
stand or appreciate.

ROBSON AS BOB ACRES.
Clever Revival OF "The Rivals" ut
the La fayette.

Clever Revival of "The Rivals" at
the La fay ette.
Mr.. Stuart Robson concluded very sue
cessful engagement OF week last night
at Lafayette Square Opera Housc. The
closing performance was The Rivals. y
with himself as .'bob Acres
1t was for Mr.. Robson a revival OF
part which he had not played for twenty
years This fact and perhaps the other
fact that in competent ilanos The
Rivals viii entertain the present as
1T has the past for many years attracted
a large ana fashionable house To the thea
ter.
As was expected Mr.. Robson makes Bob
Acres entirely funny man and funny
in the style in which all of his characters
are humorous. The audience wasthoroughly
pleased with the impersonation, as could
be inferred from the almost universal
quantity of applause.
A character which deserved unstinted
praise was the Sir Anthony Absolute of
Mr.. Theodore Hamilton. Miss Carrie Rad
cliffe was strong in the part OF Lydia
Languish, which required spirited rem
dition, and in the tender scenes she re-
cpived a good deal OF appreciative recog-
milton.
Miss Henrietta vadcrs took the part OF
Mrs. Malaprop and performed it with fine
sense of its properties
The costuming of the characters and
the general stage setting were as elab-
crate as anything that Mr.. Robson has
put on during this engagement

The Manufacture of sausages.

1t is doubtless the large percentage OF
German blood that runs in the veins of
the American people that causes their
paruaiity TO sausages, for IL is an IN
doubted fact, that nowhere, outside of
Germany. is the demand so great.
There is one man In this city who has
anticipated the peoples wants TO the
fullest extent, we refer to Mr.. n. Auth
For twelve years or more he has been
manufacturing sausages, and has made a
wonderful success in the business. 1t
has been his aim right along to manufacture
the highest class of goods, and he has
deservedly succeeded in winning a name
for his sausages that stands second to
none in the world.
His present factory. on Virginia avenue
is immense, and is thoroughly equipped with
machinery of the most modern type. He
has a complete system of cold storage
vaults, which are operated by his own
refrigerating machinery, a regular ice
plant being maintained on the premises.
The most notable feature of the whole
esta blishmen is the rigid syst EN- OF
cleanliness, which is enforced all over
the building. not-the least speck of dirt
being visible anywhere.
Besides the manufacture of sausages. he
also does large trade in dressed meats.
His smoked hams have a wonderful reputa-
tion amongst caterers: in fact, anything
bearing the name of Auth is reCognized
all over the District as being the very besa
of its kind.
