Fish In the Market.

Fish in the market this morning present
Ell an unusually attractive appearance, and
many of them seemed as If they were
really alive and had just been taken from
hook or seine. White fish from the lakes
weighing from eight to ten pounds each,
and looking as fresh as If they had Just
been taken from the water, were almost as
attractive as the black bass from the Po-
tcmac, as well as those from North Caro-
lima. These large white fish have the fla
vor of shsd, but they have not the same
number Of bones They are especially fine
for baking or broiling, but not for boiling,
as In the water they fall to pieces. Pike
are unusually fine this season. and many
of them are being caught with hook and
line in the pond near Quantico. Live bait
is used to catch them. From Maine the
dealers are receiving boxes of smelt. These
small fish make an excellent dish for
luncheon, and are being used quite exten-
sively for this purpose. Black bass are
also plentiful. and some good catches have
been made in the river about here by the
sundown haulers Of seine. Market mon
discourage these violations of law as much
as possible. although they sometimes ham
die their stock.

Antonio Masini, n Member of the Met

Antonio Masini. a valuable employe of
the Metropolitan Opera Company, which is
playing weeks engagement at the Colum-
bia Theater, died very suddenly on street
near the corner Of 9Th yesterday after
icon about 4:2O o'clock. Policeman Bren-
nan was standing on the corner when he
saw the man fall to the sidewalk.
The policeman hurried to his side, but
the man seemed dying then. A telephone
message was sent to the Emergency Hos
pital but when the ambulance reached the
spot the surgeon pronounced Masini dead.
The body was removed to the morgue on
New Jersey avenue. and the dead mans
friends were communicated with. 1t was
evident that he had died from natural
causes, but the coroner was notified and
decided to hold an investigation.
Mastni was forty-five years of age, and
was employed as property man for the
opera company. All the stage property was
locked up. and the keys were in Masini' 8
pocket. 1t required an order from the cor
oner to obtain possession of the keys and
this was soon obtained, and there was
no delay in the evening performance as a
result Of Masini's sudden death. Members
OF the company have taken charge of the
body, and will see to the funeral arrange

AMUSEMENTS.

Columbia Theater.-Not in many years
has there been given more enjoyable per-
formance of Gounod's Faust" than its rep
resentation by the Grau Metropolitan Eng
lish Opera Company at the new Columbia
Theater last night. The audience was
thoroughly responsive to the good work of
the performers, and applause was liberal,
while some numbers, notably the recitative
and aria by Valentine in the second act,
the flower song by Siebel In the third act,
the soldiers chorus and Siebel's song in
the fourth act. and the final trio in the last
act were obliged to be repeated. The last
named number excited more enthusiasm
than has been witnessed in Washington
theater in long time. This was due to
the splendid dramatic singing of Nine. ia
nuschowsky, who was ably supported by
Payne Clarke and Ricardo Ricci. The cast
was unusually fine, Nine. Januschowsky
singing Marguerite in the most dramati-
cally artistic manner, and acting the part
thoroughly effectively. Lizzie Macnichol
makes an ideal Siebel, her beautiful face
and figure peculiarly fitting her for the boy
lover of the heroine, and her rich and pow
erful voice giving to the musical score a
beauty Of tone that satisfies the ear in
every respect. Payne Clarke's Faust was
an intelligent Interpretation of one Of the
most diff1c ult parts that falls to the lot of
operatic tenors. and Ricardo Riccfs big
but rather unwieldy bass voice was compe-
tent to properly give the music of Mephis-
topheles. He proved himself also a good
actor. VIM. Mertens made an excellent
Valentine. singing and acting with spirit
and fine effect. The chorus did great work,
which was fully appreciated BY the au,
d1ence, and the same may be said of the
large orchestra, over which Conduc tor
Mendorf wields the baton.
Ihere Will be no performance tonight,
as the theater will be occupied by the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra, but tomorrow
night Carmen" will be given, with Nine.
Januschowsky in the title role, which, by
the way, she created al the Royal Opera
House in Vienna, where she sung for five
years, going from there to Paris, where
she duplicated her Vienna success. Satur-
day afternoon THE Bohemian Grip will
be repeated, with Mary Helen Howe as
airline. and Saturday night the season will
close with the "Cavalleria Rusticana' and
the fourth act of ''Kigoletto.'
