Wants Her Brother to PAY Tn.

Julia NJ Aston, teacher, who lives at
No. 1919 Pierce place, yesterday sued
her brother. James F., to compel him to pay
for her half of lot 80, square 191, or give
up the title she conveyed to him three years
ago. The property was left them by their
mother, who died about five years ago..
Miss Alston says her brother agreed to
pay her half what their mother had In
vested in the lot and thereby induced herto
make him a deed in fee, but has met her
demands for payment with refnsals to pay
a cent. She asks that the court appoint
a trustee to reconvey the property TO her
unless her brother pays.

Joke on Operator Maddux's Friends.

While trying to get on Metropolitan
street-car in front of police headquarters
Mr.. Samuel w. Maddux, the police tele-
phone operator, broke his leg and had to
be helped on the car and to his home, No.
lao @ street northeast, by Fire Operator
George A. Noyes. The news of the accident
spread rapidly, and soon many of Mr.. Mad
dux's friends called to inquire about his
condition. To these he said;
'.Yes, broke my leg, but it was the arti-
ficial one, and Mrs Maddux has it in the
back room now, reducing the fracture"
Operator Maddux lost one of his limbs
several years ago and wears cork leg.

1.-The comic opera of the future will be
free from 'horse-play,' from buffoonery,
from French suggestiveness of any sort,
was the opinion expressed yesterday in an
interview by Mr. willard Spenser, author
and composer of the opera Princess
Bonnie"
''There is a stronger demand on the part
of theater-goers for what may be termed
purity" he continued. 1.-The decline of
farce-comedy points to this; the success OF
several recent operas emphasizes it.
1.-THE operas that have lived three or four
seasons contain a decided preponderance OF
the better elements. There are SO few OF
them that they can be counted on the fingers
of one hand, but all of them stand out
clearly as landmarks in the history of comic
opera. Their charm consists in tuneful
music OF higher order, which is sung and
re echoed in thousands ofhomes; ina libretto
bright and catchy, and yet poetic; in an at
tractive Suggesting, with plenty OF color
and life, while pervading the whole is an
air of refinement quite refreshing when COM
pared with scores of horse-play, star-part
operas. -
Mr.. Spenser has been in this city several
days arranging for the coming Washington
production of princess Bonnie" He is
remembered as the author and composer of
1.-THE Little Tycoon" which was SO pop
ular here several years ago.
