Lafayette Square Opera House.-"Beau
Brummer' was performed last night at
the Lafayette Square Opera House
to the eminent satisfaction of q large
audience. The play 10 so familiar to the
public that comment upon its attractions
would be superhuous. It introduces Mr..
Mansfield in role wholly adapted to his
talent, and also affords excellent opportuni-
ties for the various members Of his capa-
BILE company. There are no passions in it
to tempt the star to experiment with his
limited gifts as a stage-blusterer, and the
audience last evening enjoyed to the fullest
the quiet. scholarly delineation OF an era
OF social hypocrisy. The audience was
large and enthusiastic, and 1t Is a notice.
able fact that the plays in which Mr.. Mans
fields greatest successes have been made
are those that have drawn the best houses
this week, and which have elicited the most
emphatic applause. Mr.. Mansfield Is an
actor of keen Intellectual power. of con-
siderable versatility, and of much personal
magnetism; but these qualities seem to be
confined to a line Of what may be called
character work, and do not extend to he
roic or tragic parts.
Tonight Mr Mansfield will be seen in the
play in which he first made his appearance
as a star in Washington. and in which he
gives one of his most delightful impersona-
tions, prince Karl"
New National Theater-Mr Otis Skinner
presented Romeo and Juliet at the New
National Theater last night. and proved
himself in many respects an excellent IN
terpreter of Shakespeare's most fervent
but most unfortunate lover. He was per-
haps better in the more dramatic passages,
but he was earnest, manly and graceful
throughout. Mr.. Mosely's Mercutio was an
excellent performance, and the Juliet OF
Miss Durbin was an agreeable surprise In
it's manliness and power. In fact, rev
young women combine so many admirable
qualities for this part Miss Durbin She
has a charm of face and figure that attract
the eye. while her Interpretation OF the
maid of Verona shows the result OF careful
and intelligent study.
Tonight Mr.. Skinner will be seen in

The Microeosn Of the Negro.

l.. NJ. Hershaw,- president of the Bethel
Literary and Historical Association, spoke
last night to the mems guild of St. Luke's
P. e. Church, on the Causes and Excesses
OF Mortality Among Colored People in
Large Cities"
I'm all the cities" said he. "Washington
presents the best vantage ground for
studying the negro question; first, because
there are more negroes in Washington
than any other city on the globe, and, sec
ondly. the negro is here seen in every
sphere Of activity, in every stage Of degra-
dation and in every evolution Of advance
ment. Washington is a very microcosm of
negroes. and. If higher advancement can
be found here, SO can also be found the
lowest degradation. The national capital
Is an excellent place to study the negro
considered solely as a black man; here he
enjoys greater privileges than elsewhere
Here he Is free Of limit, free in the right
of worship and provided with excellent op-
portunities of education"

press company, but he lost his po-
sluon. He WIS compelled to live with his
father. while his wife went back to her
