Mr.. Gahans domestic life Is happy.
He occupies u spacious mansion In
Michigan avenue and his latch string Is
always on the outside to NIL comers.
Years ago Mr.. Gahan lived In n frame

yards. Here the ncighbors gathered at
night to consult him on various topics
and always found Il welcome. When

when Gahan's turn came what he said

and then invited all his old neigl,bors
to consider his new house a. open to
them as the old one Ind been. And the
invitation is still In force.

untimely death of two bright sons.
Irrespective Of party affiliations. the

John Il. Sherman, vice president and

Presumably most local theater-goers are

omens are well enough in their way, but
whole barrels of each variety could hard

variation TO the continued laughter pro-
voked was in the applause that followed
some especially bright song or clever sal
~ Had the press agent of the company
spent all last week in sending passes TO
his impromptu friends the enthusiasm
could not have been more pronounced.
The Mascot is at present a rarity
upon the operatic stage. Though a com
panlon-piece to the often-heard "Olivette"
and in many respects Audran's most tune
ful and melodramatic work. some diff
Guilty or other has practical excluded II
from contemporary theatf1cals. Several
OF its choicest selections have become
quite as popular and as familiar as those
of The Bohemian Girl" or THE Chimes
of Normandy but as a general thing
their rendering is confined TO the pursed
lips of the bucolic youth or the open ones
of the seminary graduate.
The production last night was as free
from blemishes as have been those of rho
preceding three operas presented this sea-
son by the Parry Company. The chorus
proved quite as effectual and even better
looking than usual, while the orchestra
under the direction of George Towle
created the same good impression. As
implied in the remark upon the personal
appearance of Harry Carter's choristers
the costumes were fully up to the stand
ard OF the average road company. Special
scenery had been painted for the Offering
and the general effect was this improved
Some of the settings were quite eIabor-
ate, the farm yard of the first act being
so filled with real live stock and poultry
that one could easily imagine the farm
ers who live near Glen Echo having TO
visit that resort all this week for their
eggs and milk
There is little need to comment upon
the recognized excellence of cast that
has already proven itself thoroughly cap
able in all its work. Aliene Crater, who
has established her proficiency in that
peculiar class of acting generally termed
opera boufre. made charming and de-
lightful Bettina. Her singing of the
dainty songs that fall into the title role
was just what one might have expected
of so clever woman, while the little
dances with which she punctuated them
were heartily greeted. Frank Deshon's
Lorenzo XVII was. however, the hit of
the evening. Mr.. Deshon had cut from
the famous part of the Prince of Piom-
bino everything but the skein of a plot
and had filed IL up with jokes so new
as to be creaky. His rendering of the
changed version of an old hunting ballad
and his planned interruption of ION
the Banks of the Wabash were among
the funniest things the season has
brought forth. George Broderick's pom
derous and pompous humor was in
marked contrast to that of his mariner.

He Wishes TO Punish the District
for Newspaper Criticism.
BY an order adopted in the House just
before adjournment yesterday, tomorrow

Chairman Babcock, of the District Com
early in the session yesterday, but Mr..
Champ Clark OF Missouri, objected. Mr..
Clark served notice that no District bust
ness should be done for the remainder of
the session of Congress so long as he
could prevent it.
He had a grievance. The newspapers
of Washington had criticised him because
OF his opposition to the annexation of Ha-
wall He would not tamely submit to
criticism. The papers were above and
beyond his reach but he would punish the
entire people of the District But Mr..
Clark's vengeance slept, or he got hungry.
Just before adjournment, Mr. Babcock
observed that the irate and indignant
Missourian was absent. He availed HIM
self of the opportunity asked unanimous
consent for the consideration of District
matters tomorrow and II was given.

THE NEW BRIDGE.
The House Makes the Appropriation
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
There was small attendance when the
House was called to order yesterday
The first business in order was the call
of the yeas and nays on the motion to
concur in the Senate amendment appro-
priating $4,000 for the Massachusetts
Avenue bridge over Rock Creek.
The roll call resulted: Yeas. 81; nays,
81; present. -16; total. 15S. being q short
of a quorum.
The Speaker withheld the vote and Mr..
Mahany called for its announcement
The Speaker replied that the clerks were
making a comparison to determine how
many members were actually present, in
order TO ascertain whether there was a
quorum in the House.
1t was manifest that the friends of the
bridge amendment had been doing some
fine missionary work since Saturday.
when the amendment was carried by the
narrow margin of six in total vote of 80.
The opponents of the amendment hus-
tied around in lively manner, in their
effort to prevent a quorum, but the
Speaker ruled that all members arriving
in the hall after the roll call were enti-
tied to vote. As thus made up the vote
resulted: Yeas, 100; nays. "a; present 16.
mo quorum shouted Mr.. Mahaney.
"A quorum has been noted replied the
Speaker, who added that in addition to
the l60 who voted and answered present
l6 were noted" making a total of 1S6.
THE amendment is agreed to- de-
clared the Speaker amid applause. So
both Connecticut and Massachusetts
Avenues get their bridges.
On motion of Mr.. Dockery. the House

naming amendments and a new confer
