NationaI-"The CharIatan,

If every magician succeeded in attract
ing such audiences as did 1.-THE Charla-
tan" last evening at the New National,
there would be an excess of prestidigita-
tors in the theatrical business The audi
ence which gathered to witness the pri-
mary production in this city of John
Philip Sousas new Offering, with that
favorite of comic opera lovers, DeWolf
Hopper in the title role, was the largest
that has ever assembled in the National
during all its successful career. The late
corners stood up four deep round the rear
of the orchestra circle and evidently felt
repaid for so doing.
Like all others of its sort the piece is
in three acts, with the scene laid in a
foreign country to permit of sumptuous
costuming. The plot is as light as the
breeziest of airs, and well so. The plays

URGENT SCHOOL NEEDS.

supt. Cook Appeals to the Commis-
sloners.
G. f. Cook, superintendent of the COL
ored schools OF the Ninth, Tenth and
Eleventh divisions. submitted to the Dis
trict Commissioners yesterday a detailed
statement showing why three eight-room
school buildings are needed in the divi-
sions mentioned. Estimates for these
buildings are asked to be included in the
budget for the fiscal year ending June
30, IsOO.'
The statement of Superintendent Cook
says that one of these new buildings is
required to relieve the Briggs building
In this building there are twelve schools
In eight rooms. This overcrowding," he
states, requires that all schools below
the fifth grade have only half day occu-
pancy of the school room. The Stevens
school, on Twenty-first Street. between X
and L Streets. is the next nearest build
ing. 1t has in its eighteen rooms twen-
ty-two schools. and even If this were not
the fact. it is too far removed from the
locality in which the pressure exists. to
retain in the schools pupils transferred
TO it. The new eight-room building for
the Ninth division should be located at
some point within the space bounded by
+ and i. and Twenty-fourth and Twen-
ty-seventh Streets northwest.
I'm the Tenth division all third grade
schools, except those located in the Gar
net and Patterson buildings, have besn
reduced to half time, and at the Cook
and Slater buildings IT has been found
necessary to reduce even the fourth
grades to half time. The new eight-room
building for this division should be To-
Gated at some point within the following
boundaries: NJ and Q, and North Capitol
Streets northwest. preferably near North
Capitol and NJ Streets. The location of
this building would afford relief to the
overcrowded buildings and accessible ac-
commodation to many of the school pJpu-
lation that have not as yet been enrolled
on the schools.
I'm the Randall building, First and I
Streets southwest, Eleventh division.
there are ten school rooms. of which two
are basement rooms, and both of them
very poorly ventilated. The number OF
schools located in these ten rooms Is
sixteen. To accommodate them six rooms
are used by twelve schools, among WIN ch
are those of the fourth and third grades.
The remaining three school buildings IN
South Washington have each more
schools than school room, and all schools
in them below the third grade, and even
the third grade in the Bell building, have
halliday occupancy of the school room.
The new school building for this division
should be located at some point between
Second and South Capitol, and l. and
n Streets southwest, preferably nearer
10 South Capitol and n Streets.

NAVY YARD BRIDGE.
Capital Railway Company Must Ad-
here to Original Plans.

Walter c. Allen. electrical engineer for
the District. has submitted to Engineer
Commissioner Beach for approval a re-
port from H. c. Eddy, the District in
spector of electric lighting, in relation to
the installation OF the overhead trolley on
the navy yard bridge and recommending
that the Capital Railway Company be
notified to install the same as originally
intended.
The original plan submitted by the
railroad company mentioned was for
continuous trolley wire from one end
of the bridge to the other, with a spe-
cial arrangement at the draw which would
not interfere with its working. Elec-
trical Engineer Allen explains that the
company has changed its plans, howev-
er. and now intends 10 omit the section of
trolley wire across the draw and have
two carriages to operate the two sec
tions of the bridge.
Inspector Eddy states that this will
delay the passage of cars upon the bridge
and undoubtedly obstruct travel thereon
and he saws. IAN overhead construction
which could be operated by the same
mechanism which operates the draw can
easily be erected and l would recommend
that the Capital Railway Company be re-
quired to erect such a construction over
the draw before being allowed to oper-
ate its cars over the bridge by means of
the overhead trolley" The electrical en-
gineer concurs in the recommendations
offered by Inspector Eddy and states that
the original plan is perfectly feasible and
in his opinion far better than the one
the company intends to adopt. He has
therefore recommended that the railway
company be notified TO install the trolley
wire as originally intended and his rec
concentrations have been approved by
Engineer Commissioner Beach

MORE PAY FOR THE CHEMIST.
Prof. j. ID. Hird Offers Two Sugges-
tions to the Commissioners.

Prof J. d. Hird, the District chemist,
has requested The Commissioners 10 in
clude in their annual budget of estimates
an estimate for an increase of the salary
of the District chemist from $500 to s., 100
He has also. recommended that the sani-
tary food inspector who inspects the dairy
products of the District be called the
chemist of the District of Columbia. in or
der that the title may correspond with the
position.
Prof Hird states that the change which
he thus contemDlates Will in no manner
interfere with the usefulness of the de-
partment nor cause any alienation IN its
present method of operation.
The character of the professional at
tainments" states Prof. Hird, required
to fill such position are universally adj

most scientific nature, and are the same
as the professional attachments of the 9TH
er chemists in the city, each being un-
doubtedly an expert. in his peculiar line.
The chemist Of the Agricultural Depart
ment receives S2.E00 per year, the internal
revenue chemist $3.50. while the inspector
of asphalts of the District receives 81, 400. "

AT THE THEATERS.

kC01umbia-''A War CorrespOndent."
For. the second time this season new
star was introduced to Washington last
night through the medium of a new play
the event taking place at the Columbia
Theater. The star was Burr Mcintosh,
whose Taffy will be remembered as one
of the strongest parts of "Trilby," and
the play was "A War Correspondent.
the work Of Lottie Blair Parker, author
of Way Down East An audience
that was evidently predisposed in favor
of the presentation applauded yociferous-
ly all through, and finally, with the mus
GUAR aid of most of the male members
OF the supporting company, got Mr. Nc
lntosh to make thankful though rather
nervous speech.
"A War Correspondent is, in spite of
the protests of its managers, simply one
or the melodramas that have followed
the combat with Spain. 1t is also, in all
probability the most rationable and rea-
sonable of its class, achieving Its un-
doubted force by purely legitimate meth
DDS. There are is its composition a few
characteristic fire-on-the-f flag if -you-dare
lines. and one or two rather cheap dra-
matte tricks, but the story is good one,
well tolu, ana the play possesses an abb
sorbing interest. A distinct lack of at
mosphere and a little verbosity are about
the only serious defects to what is as
undoubtedly good piece, as 1t is not-a
great one
Burr Mcintosh plays the title role In
a careful and intelligent manner, though
he has not yet had time to grow into his
part. and is amateurish and crude to
remarkable degree. Some of his scenes
are well done, however, and the entire
impersonation is of the first order. Grace
Fflkins is, as usual, excellent in her emo
tional work. while Enrol Dunbar and
Edith Barker afford two pleasing sur
prises In portrayals that are more than
ordinarily artistic. George Staley, John
Robertson and Laurence Eddinger seem
a bit STACEY, though still clever. while

ble-the first two more. and the last de-
cidedly less. The play and players were
well received, and "A War Correspond

and partial artistic success.

from the hit of the summer season in
New York. The Origin of the Cake

ored men. Paul Dunbar and VIII Marion
Cook. Both were in the audience last
night. Some other specialties. which had
nothing in particular to do with the play,
but were applauded by the audience,
were those of Goggin and Davis, come
dams and dancers; the singing of Hodges
and Launchmere. and the Instrumental
musical melange" of Maize Brooks and
the Mallory Brothers. Altogether, the
production ought to draw full houses
throughout the week.

Academy-wiIliams and Walker.

Williams and Walker, at the head of
their own company, made their bow at the
Academy yesterday evening to as large
an audience as the house would hold. and
if enthusiasm could have raised roof the
to postpone tonight's performance. These
two popular negro comedians are always
welcomed with gusto, and in what they
call THE Senegambian Carnival they
have gotten together more pretty girls,
clever dancers. good singers and people
with various kinds of talent than were
ever gathered into a colored organization
before. The offering is not essentially
novel in its construction, being merely
so-called comedy with enough plot to hold
the specialties together, but there Is more
ginger, liveliness and fun In 1t than In
many previous productions. Williams and
Walker themselves have a good deal of
new business and one or two new songs
in all of which they managed to display
their abilities to even better advantage
than when here last year with Hyde's
Comedians.
The scene of the musical novelty" as 1t
is called on the program, Is laid on an ex-
cursion steamer, among the passengers
of which are Dollar Bill, who has won
$40, 600 lottery prize, and Silver King, who
is determined, as he says, to prevent his
friend from being killed for his money.
His method is simply to transfer as much
of the said lucre as possible to his own
pockets, and his more or less successful
efforts to do this form much Of the highly
amusing matter in the production. One
of the features of the first act is the
dancing of Henry Williams which is un-
doubtedly the best thing of its kind yet
seen in this city. Another feature which
proved popular was the introduction of
half a dozen very small and bright pick
aninnies.'
The second act takes place at a recep-
ton following the arrival Of the steamer
at the metropolis. 1t begins with some
clever work of Magic Carl. and ends with
a grand cake-walk. which is sumptuously
staged and costumed. and done to the
tune Of "Darktown is Out Tonight" This
with two other songs. Jump Back.

Commissioners an estimate of $40 coo for

about forty by fifty feet in size and
of two stories. except over the morgue

The Request Refused.

Upon the recommendation of William
p. Richards the assistant engineer of
the District, the request of Irwin B. Lin
ton for permission to place a barbed
wire fence around certain premises on
Albany Street northeast win probably
be denied. He recommends that no per-
NIT be issued as requested for the reason
that the property is directly on the line
of the new City and Suburban Railway,
which, he says, is likely to be very
closely built upon in the future, and he
states further that he considers barbed
wire fences dangerous in any locality.
Capt. Beach, the engineer commissioner
of the District, has indorsed the recon-
mendation of Engineer Richards.
