LIVES WE'RE In DANGER
Judge Millsr Sustained the. Emer-
gency Plea Of Nc Waugh.
While Declaring That the Law Should
~. b.. ,Epforced. He fhought. This
.,.... an ExceptidnaI Case.

The case against Frank Mcvaugh, sub
contractor for the iron work on the Gov
ernment Printing Office addition, for yio-
Iation of the eight-hour law, was dismissed
by Judge Miller in the police court yes
terday afternoon, as told In to-day's Morn
ing Times. .zs g-, "
The testimony of Lieut.. Sewcll and
others was continued after The Evening
Times report was concluded.
Judge Miller, in summing up the case,
analysed the statute under consideration
and said IL W as made by Congres especially
for the good OF the working class OF people,
and he thought IL a wise and beneficent
law, and one that ought to be strictly en-
forced. ,.. /. =. =. ....ts r,.a- ~
THE main question is" said his honor.
"whether this man is a contractor or not
and ! think from the testimony lie Is so
made out.
THE only question remains now as to
whether there was an emergency. and 1
have my views on that question. The only
real meaning of this law is, where. there is
come real or apparent catastrophe, and that
brings it down to a very narrow point. and
SO narrow, that there wouldn't be one case
in a thousand where q man would not be
liable within the limits OF this law, il he
worked his men over eight hours"
Now the question is, whether this case
comes under that head. II l Were trying
the Phoenix Iron Company, who seem TO
be the full cause OF all the delay, they should
have the full penalty of the law. But 1
have nothing to do with that. II is a
question of what conditions the foreman OF
that gang of wOrkmen was presented with
on the day in question.

NEXT WEEK ATTHE THEATERS.

Washington people have seen Miss Lillian
Russell clothed in the habiliments of many
characters in the operate world in days
gone by. and have heard her voice attuned
to the arias OF a number of different
heroines OF melodious romance but they
have never yet seen or heard her to such
an advantage, if all reports are true, as
they will on Monday night, when she steps
upon the virgin stage OF AIbaughs new
Lafayette Square Theatcr in the character
of Vera, the Russian gypsy fortune teller,
in LA TIigane.'
Nor have they ever seen Miss Russell
surrounded by so excellent a company as
she will he upon that occasion; for Abbey,
Schoerfel & Grau. when they commissioned
Messrs. Reginald De Koven and Harry y.
Smith to fit Miss Russell with an opera,
decided that that opera should be more
sumptuously mounted, more lavishly ap-
pointed and better cast than had ever
comic opera been ON the American stage.
The scene and locale OF LA Tziganc,''
Russia and Poland in 1872, at the time
of Napoieon's invasion, gave ample oppor
tunity TO Mr.. Hoyt, the scenic artist, and
to Messrs. CastIebert and. .DaZian, TIE
costumers, for Il fanciful and decorative
display of all sorts.
As said before, the company is a good
one. 1t contains over hundred people.
including ballet and chorus, aud the list
of principals contains many well-known
names. Resides Miss Russell, there are
Flora Finla yson Marie Celeste Edwin W.

Opera House next week. 1t is under the
direction of Charles 4. Evans, proprietor
OF the Herald Square Theater. New York,
and headed by that well-kncwn actor,
Frank Mayo. To Mr.. Mayo also belongs
the credit for having made possible the
pleasure it will be to meet these charming
people, he having drama tized Mark Twain's
book and made of it play that is now new
in it's methods, unique in its plot, true and
tender In its pathos, and withal most de-
lightfully quaint in its humcr.
At least that was the verdict New York
gave the play, where it was produced and
enjoyed a long and successful run at the
Herald Square Theater.

not the cieverly constructed burlesque it.
self that constitutes the great entertain
ment furnished by the Little Christopher"
production. The many sensational novel
ties included in the three acts make ii an
affair of monster proportions.
The cast includes the best-known comedy
players of years. The scenery is the finest
seen for some time, and all the accessories
are of equal tone. The staging will be en-
tirely adequate Among the principals are
William Collier, Fannie Johnston and about
sevcnty-five others. Mr.. Palmer viii also

to pick his effects, and it is said that the
effects attained are extremely thrilling

Green Hair.

According to The Medical Press, green
ish hair in men occupied in copper works
and in copper mines is not unknown, for
as far back as 1864 Bartholin drew atten-
ton to its occurrence. Since then several
other observers have recorded instances Of
the same. The most recent case is that of
DR.. Oppenheimer' who, at meeting OF
the Johns Hopkins Hospital Medical So
ciety, showed specimen of green hair oh,
tanned from patient who had been under
his treatment. The hair was pale but
distinct green, this color being more
marked on the head and the mustache
But, curiously enough, in the hair all over
the body the same celebration was display
ed. Copper was easily demonstrated
chemically. Microscopically the hair was
uniformly colored, no crystals being seen
anywhere. The patient did not return
after his first visit, and it was ascertained
that he died two years later with a severe
cough. The fact, however, is certain that
workers in copper works need not neces-
sarily become affected with the poisonous
metal, provided that scrupulous cleanli-
ness is observed. The hair must be wash
ed daily in a solution of soda, ordinary
water being useless for the purpose. Ex-
perience shows that the part first to be-
come affected is the mustache, and next
the head, but if the latter be protected by
q thick cap no Coloration is produced
