PROMINENT ATTORNEY DEAD
Unexpected Demise q Richard Smith, Mem
berrOf Local Bar.
All of the Courts Adjourn Today as q
Mark OF Respect to His
EMenOry.

Richard Smith,, Dick" Smith, as he was
Familiarity known, a. member Of the local
bar, died Of apollexy at his residence, 1927
H street, at $50 O'Clock this morning.
Mr.. Smith had been in i'll health for the
past month, but no serious consequences
were anticipated, and his death this morn
ing was, therefore, quite unexpected.
The deceased attorney, who was the son
of the late John A. Smith, for MANY years
clerk of the District Court, and cousin of
Judge Walter s. Cox, was born in the city
about fifty years ago. He was a man of
some means, and while an honored member
of the local bar, practical his profession
but little. He was unmarried and leaves
three sisters surviving him. He was a
genial, whole-souled man, of courtly nan
ners, and one of the best-known and most
popular members of the bar.
He was one of the original members of
the Metropolitan Club, president of the Pa
tuxent Club, and the originator of the Law
yers Club. Notice of his funeral will be
made this afternoon or tomorrow.
Action Of the Courts.
In Equity Court No. Mr.. R. Ross Perry
announced the death of Mr.. Smith, re-
ferring to him as man who was beloved
by every member Of the bar, and stat
Ing that at another time he would refer
at greater length to the great loss which
the bar and community have sustained in
the death Of an honored associate.
Mr.. Perry moved that the court adjourn
as mark of respect to his memory.
Judge Cox replied in an appropriate man
ner, and granted the motion.
Mr. F. H. Mackey made the announce
ment in Equity Court No. 2, Judge Hag-
ner granting a similar motion.
District Attorney Davis made a similar
announcement and motion in Criminal
Court No. 2, a like order being made by
Judge Bradley. The same thing was done
in Circuit Courts Nos. l and 2.

Grand Opera House.

Standing room only, and very little of that left, was the order of things at the Grand opera house yesterday for HI Henry's minstrels and the immense audience expressed its satisfaction in the most marked degree. The singing features, of course, predominate, and the music rendered was of the highest order. In the solo, quartet and chorus work the same standard of excellence was maintained. Special mention may be made of Harry Leighton, whose par ticularly sweet voice was heard to good effect in "Rosey Posey." The spec iatlies introduced were on par with the rest of the show, and the comedy work was splendid, Arthur Deming scoring the biggest hit.
 During the interlude pictures by the motograph were thrown on a screen, in connection with the latest improved chromograph. In the second part Hi Henry rendered several selections on

TtNTERTATNMENTS.
Hyperion.

1.-TWO Little Vagrants," an adaptation melodrama, "Les Deux Gosses," by Pierre Decouscelle, was presented by Charles Frohman's company at the Hyperion theater last evening. The piece was performed by almost exactly the same company at the Academy of Music in New York and was one of the largest successes of the season. Pre- vious to it's presentation in this coun- try it enjoyed extraordinary vogue in Paris and London. It is a melodrama resembling "The Two Orphans" in a general way, but not at all in detail It does not like most of the more re- cent successes, depend upon cleverness of scenic device for main effect. It makes like the older school a very direct and genuine emotional of the audience and abounds in gallery cues and other old time mannerisms. The piece is saved from mawkishness by skilful acting of Miss Jessie Busley and Miss Minnie Dupree.
 SOUSAS BAND.
 Sousa's famous men, who will be at the Hyperion on Monday night, are noted for their individual excellence The equals of these men in their re- spective positions probably exists in no similar organization. Bode, Stengler, Shannon, Wadsworth, Conrad and oth- CTS will be wei! remembered as occu- pants of the same chairs in Gilmore's band that they now occupy with Sousa. Sale of seats now open.
 HOYTS "A BLACK SHEEP"
 The announcement that the mirth- maker, "A Black Sheep" comes to the Hyperion next Tuesday night, will be hailed with delight. Since last seen here, MT. Hoyt has made many changes
