TuEATER FOR SOLDIERS.
Fine New Hall Opened AuspiciOnsly
I'm the Home Grounds,

TheopeninC of the amusement hall. which
has recently been constructed in the Sol
diers' Home grounds, was made the occa-
sion last night of a very enjoyable enter
tainment, participated in by many We'll
known amateurs and by talented inmate
OF the Home.
The dediCatory address was delivered by
Senator j r. Hawley, Of Connecticut, who
congratulated the veterans on the acqui-
sition of an edifice so handsome and tn at
fills so great need at the institution, and
wished all of them many happy hours
within its walls.
A miscellaneous program of musical and
recitative selections was rendered.
The building is one OF the best of its
kind in the country. 1t is built entirely
OF white marble, upon plans possessing
great architectural attractions, and forms
valuable addition in appearance to the
group of buildings about the Home.
The interior is even more attractive
than the exterior, and no expense has been
spared to make it's fittings complete to
the most minute detail. The floor and gal
lery, which stretch across the width of
the room at the rear, are capable of seating
comfortably 800 persons, while double
that number can be accommodated in ca Sc
of necessity. Gothic roofing and rafters
of hard wood finished in oil span the cell
ing, and together with the tasteful fres-
Going, make up a most harmonious in
terror.
The stage occupies one end of the audi
torium, and is elegantly fitted in oriental
stage paraphernalia, OF hlue and gold color.
From the center OF tic ceiling is sus-
pended a costly candelabra In ornamental
brass.
The erection of the hall is due to the
efforts of Brig. Gen. D. s. Stanley, gov
ernor of the Home, who obtained the ap-
proval OF the Commissioners for his scheme,
and SIC, 900 has been expended. The work
of construction began IN September, 1895.
Though especially designed for enter
tainments. the room willbe used for various
purposes by the Homel mana cement, and
also win serve as a reading room during
the summer.
ing capacity Of the hall was heavily taxed
last night to accommodate the large num-
Der present. 70!
Among those presentand who took part
in the exercises were Rev. Dr. Williams,
chaplain Of the home; Gen. R. F. Bernard,
deputy governor; DR.. Thomas Calver, Miss
Rachael Levy, president OF the Soldiers
Home Temperance Society; Misses A. Free
man, Yeatman. Alice Howey, A. Louise
Miller, Florence King and Messrs. Mckee
and Player, A. d. Yeatman, ]. P. CIum,
R. H. Yeatman, the Soldiers Home band
under the leadership of Prof. T. v. Mer-
rillas, and the Old Boys Quartet.

Prof. Munyon saws he Will demonstrate
that his heumatlsm Cure does cure
rheumatism IN a few hours. He guarantees
that his Dyspepsia Cure Will cure any
case or indigestion or stomach trouble.
II Will demonstrate 10y tins test tnat 80
per cent of all kidney complaints, lnclud-
ing Bright disease, can be cured with

Professor, that my Catarrh Cure VIII

standing. / Will prove by this test that
deafness can be cured by my new system
or treatment. l wilt show that nervous
affections and diseases or the heart are
controlled and cured by my Nerve and Heart
Cure. 1 Will prove that my Cold Cure VIII

l Will convince the most skepucal that INV
Headache Cure Will correct any form or
headache in from 8 to 10 minutes, and
that 1t Is a splendid stomach and heart
tonic. 1 Will guarantee that my Asthma
Cure and Asthma Herbs, taken according
to directions, Will relieve any case or
asthma In minutes and cure In a Few
days. 1 claim that my remedies FOR Female
Complaints and children's diseases are
poSitivecures, and should be in every home.
1 will prove to the medical faculty that my
remedies are absolutely harmless; that
they Will cure more than 30 per cent OF all
Diseases
Thus, 1t Will be seen by these statements
that Professor Munyon does not claim to
cure all diseases with one remedy, but he
hes a separate cure Tor each disease.
The PROFESSOR invites physicians Co bring
their so-called fncurable cases, faculties
or colleges are invited TO appoint investi-
gazing committees, the Board or Health is
urged to keep a careful record or each
individual case. Newspapers are expected
to make daily reports ana publish facts of
this great test.
The doors are open-aIl are welcome.

having no light, as at present, as he stands
with his back to tn ewindows.
The iron railing will probably have to be
set forward half q foot and the present
desk be cut into sections or removed alto
gether and others substituted.
Another reform which the assessor de-
sires to make is to provide-a case for his
numerous tax books not in present use.
They are now some what in disorder in a
basement room, owing to the absence of a
case, and when it is necessary to consult
them, as often occurs, a great deal Of time
Is lost. Modern facilities for the care of
these important books Is what the assessor
asks for, and lie hopes to secure them.
His books accumulate at the rate Of eight
cen annually. As fast as they pass out OF
current use they are sent to the basement
to be piled upon others which preceded
them there. The desired casing is to be
constructed in the basement rooms, pro-
vided the present plan can be carried out
All that is required is the necessary funds,
not to exceed $500, and Mr.. Trimble hopes,
with the assist ancc OF the Commissioners,
to induce Congress to make the appropria-
ton at the present session.

NEIL BURGESS NEW PLAY.
First Metropolitan Performance of
..Ddd Miss Podd"

IVA Va
"Odd Miss POdd."
odd Miss Podd wi thhts amusing and
promising title, afters a delay Of one
evening, last night opened at the Column
bia to n full house and perfected stage
mechanism. Nell Burgess Yas seen in the
title role. which proved Ito be a New
England spinster OF the conventional but
amusing type, which j 5 intimately asso-
ciated with this cnmedian,s performances.
Every moment that Sr.. Burgess was on
the stage he had the audience in roars.
BARLEY McCullunI, as Jason Rogers,
farm hand, shared the honors with the
star, giving a well-cunsidered character
ization of familiar style of part. An
other In the cast worthy of note was
Genevieve Reynolds, last seen here with
the Empire Stock Company.
The play is merely an attempt To fur
nish the vehicle for Mr.. Burgess enter
tanning personality and the introduction
OF the famous racing scene. Both We're in
evidence and helped the play to the favor
which it found with the audience. The
scenery was attractive and the farm pic
lures especially truthful.
The performance last night was the
plays first metropolitan production There

Catarrh Cured.

Catarrh and all throat and lung diseases
Speedily cured by Munyon's new system
Every day the crowds grow larger at the
Munyon establishment. People come from
all over the District and from surrouudin z
towns TO consult Prof. Munyon. Never
In the history OF medicine have there
been 50 many remarkable cures i'll so short
q time. one cured person tells another,
and so the number increases
People come on crutches and walk away
with scarcely limp. Nervous and bro KEN
down people are loud in their praise OF
Munton's remedies. Catarrh, In Its most
aggravated form, speedily cured. Kidney
and Bright's disease yield quickly to these
wonderful little pellets.

THE GREAT HUXLEY.
What Huxley, the Great English
Scientist, Considered the Best
Start in life.

The great English scientist, Huxley, seid
the best start in life is a sound stomach.
Weak stomacfls fail to digest food properly,
because they lack the proper quantity Of
digestive acids .tlactic and hydrochloric)
and peptogenic products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases of indigestion i to take
after each meal, one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supray in
q pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use OF stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomarh
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye and clear com-
plexion, because all these result only rlom
wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets at 90 cents full sized package

The most noted spiritualistic mediums
OF Europe gather every summer at Simla,
India, and there give a series of seances
the like of which, it is said, cannot be
seen elsewhere in the world. Magician
Kellar has attended a number of their public
seances there-they won't admit him to any
OF the private ones-and has fathomed all
the mysteries they produced.
He claims low, and always has, that the
socalled manifestations of mediums are
nothing more nor less than trickery.
Some Of them are more clever tricksters
than others, hence gain a greater reputa-
ton as ''materializing mediums During
his engagement in this city Mr.. kellar will
give "Sirnla seance," which will out
class anything the mediums ever did over
there. His cabinet will be constructed
piece by piece upon the stage, and every
thing will be done In the full glare OF
electric lights.
All the manifestations usually accred-
tied to spirits Will be accomplished, and

CHANGES FOR CONVENIENCE.
Assessor Trimble COntemplates
Making Them in His Office.

Assessor Trimble has in contemplation
some important changes in the interior ar
rangement of his office, which, he thinks,
will greatly facilitate the transaction Of
official business and be of substantial bene-
fit to the public.
Thesassessor has not room enough in the
District Building for his clerical force, and
the desire is to utilize space. To that end
he will as soon as possible divide up into
sections the continuous desk back of the
railing, which extends from the front Of
the building to the collectors quarters
He Will have these sections separated by
ratings, each clerk to have an individual
desk with room for two books, but so ar
ranged that the keeper of the books will
