In many years there has not been so
sudden rise 10 fame and fortune as that
made by Alice Nielsen, a young prima
donna, ROW starring in ''The Fortune Tel
ler.' Only couple of seasons ago Miss
Nielsen occupied a minor position in the
cast Of the Bostonians. Her beauty
magnetic personality and delightful voice
speedily brought her into notice, and in
the 'Serenade' she achieved a success
so great that she overshadowed the best
members of that sterling organization.
Manager Frank l.. Perley, realizing her
value, this year put her al the head of
the Alice Nielsen Opera Company, sur
rounded her with good company, pro-
vided her with vehicle written and
composed by two of the most successful
producers of like musical entertainment
in America, Harry b. Smith and Victor
Herbert, and launched her on the theat-
rical sea. The instant success of the
production and its star are matters of
recent history. Miss Nielsen will be
heard at the Lafayette Square Opera
House next week, and her coming APP
pearance is exciting exceptional interest
among the music lovers of Washington.

Good Shepherd Attorneys Want the
Jury Instructed TO Find for
Defendant.

The end Of the second trial of the
suit of Selma Clewett against the
House Of the Good Shepherd to re-
cover $4,000 damages for alleged false
imprisonment is close at hand. The
testimony was all in at $3.50 p. m. yes
terday.
This was a surprise to the specta-
tors, who expected that Attorney Butts,
on behalf of the plaintiff, would &C.
cupy a day or two in examining wit
nesses in rebuttal. But after the de-
Tense had rested Mr.. Butts simply
called Selma Clewett to the stand and
asked her a few questions, and then
offered certain testimony given by
some Of the plaintiffs witnesses on the
former trial. This closed the case.
The witnesses called by the defense
yesterday were Jennie Norman, w. L.
Wilson,, Sistr st. Bernard, LeDni,

AFTER MADIGAN THIS TIME.
Another Battery A Boy on Trial Be-
for the Court Mar
tiRI.

Private Fred J. Madigan, of Battery
A, n. G. S. NJ, appeared before a court
martial at the armory last evening to
answer to the charge of diSobedience of
orders in absenting himself from drill
from April to December, 1897.
The court martial consists Of Capt.
Bennett and Lieut.. F. B. Bruce, of
Battery B, and Lieut.. B. E. Allen, of
Battery A, and Capt George c. Lam
bert, adjutant of the first battalion of
artillery. Capt. Bennett is president,
and Capt. Lambert judge advocate.
Little progress was made last even
ing, nearly the entire session Of the
court being devoted to the reading of
the charges and specifications against
the accused and the interposition of
numerous objections by William L.
Kelly Jr., who appeared as attorney
for Madigan. Objection was made by
Mr.. Kelly to the jurisdiction of the
court martial, and after the same had
been overruled Madigan was called on
to plead.
Mr.. Kelly advised his client to re-
main mute as to pleading, and the
judge advocate entered a plea of not
guilty to all the charges and then COM
menced the Introduction of evidence
to prove that Madigan was guilty.
Capt. Rooch was on the stand when
the court adjourned until next Wednes-
day evening.
The case will be taken to the su-
preme court by Attorney Kelly, in or
der that the question of the consti-
tutionality of the law which allows,
upon conviction, the court martial to
impose fine and imprisonment if the
fine is not paid.
The case is similar to that of Pri-
vate c. Theodore Stoehr. not P. G.
Stoehr, as some reports said. Stoehr
was recently convicted by the same
court martial. Stoehr prevented his
case being taken to the supreme court
for test by paying the fine imposed.

Comptroller McCardy yesterday signed the
contract made by the board of water COM
missoners with the Northwestern Telephone
company for add tional telephone service. The
comptroller insisted that the contract should
be made for but one year and the board
agreed TO this. The telephone company re-
fused to put the phones in unless here was
a contract for the that bills against
the city for the entire year of 1897 have been
held up in the comptrcllers Office and pay

COMPTROLLER McCardv stated yesterday that
the city owed the telephone company about
81 GOO for telephone service in the several de-
partments for 1897. He had refused to audit
the bills for the reason that there was no
contract with the city and no reauisitious
had been secured by any of the departments
for the service.
He said he had written communication to
the council in the fall of 1896 advising that
some contract be made by the telephone com
pany for the year 1897. but the council had
paid no at ention to the communication Fur
Their. the comptroller sad that the the tee
phone company had been granted valuable
franchise by the city, and in his opinion
