AMUSEMENTS,

The Bijou.-Next Saturday evening Man
ager Robert NJ. Whitesell will throw open
the doors of the Bijou Family Theater and
invite the Washington public to inspect
the many improvements he has made with
a view to restoring the cozy little house to
its former degree of popularity. 1t is safe
to say that the Oldest habitue of the theater
will be surprised at the change, for Mr.
Whitesell has spared neither money nor
pains to make the Bijou one of the bright
est, cheeriest and cozest little theaters in
town. The lobby, with its new metal cell
ing and tiled floor will serve as a fitting
preliminary to the pretty interior, which
has been entirely painted and redecorated
In light, cheerful colorS, which hume rous
electric lights will show off to the best ad-
vantage. Furthermore, realizing that the
theater alone cannot draw continued pa
tronage, Manager Whitesell has secured as
his opening attraction the popular Irish
comedian, Daniel Suliy, who will present
his successful play, The Millionaire" for
an engagement of seven nights and six
matinees. Both play and player were seen
at the Academy a couple of seasons ago.
and this will be their first engagement at
popular prices. There will be matinees
every day after Monday, on which occasion
the management will present a beautiful
rose to every lady in the audience The
box opens tomorrow for advance sale of
seats.

killing Birds Out of Season

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Seeing Fair Plays" article, entitled En-
force the Game Law / am constrained
to think that he strains at a gnat and
swallows a camel" He says that a little
activity on the part of the police would
prevent pot hunters from breaking the law
with impunity. True. But If these same
police would take stroll through the
Center market they could see duck and
plover exposed for sale openly Unlawful
birds in a persons possession makes them
liable to prosecution, no matter where
killed. The fine on the above game is So
per bird, and the season is open for them
September 1.
The writer has seen on the benches of a
certain dealer over fifty woodcock In April
birds killed off their nests and brought here
and sold by countrymen for a song At
any time during the past summer quail
could tand can now) be bought by 1.-The
right parties from dealers, and If Fair
Play is a sportsman he knows which
game should be protected, native birds or
migratory. A cold snap may drive away
all the ortolan and reed birds. They will
come again, but how about the game birds
slaughtered out of season? SPORTSMAN.
