THINGS THEATRICAL

The announced illness Of Nine. Sembrich
| who was to have sung the role Of violetta
in La Traviata," served, with the local
unpopularity OF the tuneful opera. to lessen
the attendance greatly last night at the
Grand, but not to restrain enthusiasm
Mime. Nordica had made her Paris debut
in the part and she assumed 1t yesterday
evening at short notice, thus giving the pa
irons Of the Grau Company's season here q
portrayal as adequate In every particular
as could have been that Of the artist origi-
full soprano was heard in the solos, duets.
and ensemble numbers Of Yerdi's work in
form go clear and strong and pure that
1t fairly compelled admiration. This vocal
superiority, with the singers ability as an
actress. made her appearance triumph.
Eight curtain calls were given her after
the first act, and she was literally pelted
with flowers during the remaining two.
Though somewhat overshadowed by the
dramatic soprano Of his opposite, NJ. Salig-
mac proved notable Alfredo. his fine,
sweet voice gaining in its timbre and re-
sonance what 1t lost in lack OF strength.
His impersonation was also good. Sig.
SsmpdtuttiC UdIitOuc was
heard at its best when, as Germont, he sang
the aria, 'Di Provenza II Mar" to his son.
Vocally and histrionically he developed con-
siderable passion and force in the preced-
ing scene with Violetta, his work being
pra!seworthy through all. Nothing of i'm
portance is done in La Trayiata" outside
of these three roles, but Nile Bauermeis-
ter. Miss Roudez. Sig. Vanni, M. Meux,
Mr.. Cernusco, and Mr.. Pring1e were thor
oughly adequate to the respective charac-
tiers of Armina, Flora, Gastone. Duphol,
d'Obigny, and Grenoil. The orchestra. un-
der the direction of Conductor Mancinelli,
rendered efficient service, as did the Choir

Buffalo Bill and his large organization.
composed Of the Rough Riders Of the
| World, will be in Washington next week,
| and on the morning of the first local exhi-
| bition a grand street cavalcade of all the
| famous horsemen of the new and old
worlds will march through the different
| streets Of the city. This free parade intro
duces warriors from different nations. ard
is headed by Colonel Cody's famous cow
boy band. Every person participating is
genuine representative of the country
the uniform OF which he wears. Six hun
dred OF these men are shown.
Colonel Cody is welcome visitor here
Every year he has many new features add-
ed to his exhibition, and every one of them
is of an instructive character and of great
interest. This season for the first time
there will appear with him contingent
of the residents of the Philippines who are
expert on horseback, with some of the
queer characters from the recently annexed
Hawaiian Islands, who not only perform
feats of equestrianism, but also introduce
through their women unique and aston
ishing religious dances as they are per-
formed in their land when the occasion
requires. Cubans, who have served in the
last war and who come here with visible
marks they have received in the different
encounters; Porto Ricans, who illustrate
their native styles Of riding; Indians. Cow
boys. German and English Cavalrymen,
Cossacks. Arabs. Gauchos. Mexicans. and
others all take part in this marvellous ex-
hibition.
A military masterpiece. entitled The
Charge on San Juan Hill.'' will be shown
for the first time here. This is made as
nearly realistic as is possible in limited

spared neither time nor expense to make

| The first public performance of new
| Sousa march is always matter of much
| interest and it is, therefore, most proba
| bic that an extremely large audience will
gather upon the occasion OF next Thurs
days concert at the Lafayette Square OPP
era House. where the composers latest
work is to be played by his own band for
| the first time on any stage. 1t is announc-
ed in advance that the character OF the
effort is a sort of return to earlier out
puts; that the melody is not the kind of
medley such as was The Charlatan," but
rather an affair of one theme, like THE
Stars and Stripes Forever. That the
march will be stirring and catchy there
can be no doubt and the idea OF hearing
its initial rendering should prove power
full incentive to visiting the Lafayette.
OF long list Of important people who
do important things next week at the
Grand the most promising seems to be
Minnie Dupree, who will then be seen
with Theodore H. Brown and Joseph Nc
Kever in "Dangerfield, 49," This charm
ing sketch was for some time used as a
vehicle by Annie Russell both in London
and New York, much of her success in the
British metropolis being due to its dain-
tipess and cleyerness. Miss Dupree Is
comedienne of graceful methods and un-
usual intelligence. who has just finished
with the latest Gotham success, The Pur
pie Lady," and who should be seen to ad-
vantage in Miss Russell's old part This
playlet is only one of the eight strong
cards promised for next week at the
Grand and 1t should go toward making up
the strength Of very strong bill.

expression that has now been almost uni
versally forgotten but which exists never

which will be seen next week at the Acad-

was the first to popularize "A Hot Time in
Old Town." that several Of its singers are
renowned for their voices, and that the
comedian of the combination, Ernest Ho-
gan, is the author OF "All Coons Look

to this statement, proof of the variety
of which should make the company's en-
gagement here most profitable.

In these days of great scenic productions
something out of the common Is required
to provoke admiration from theatregoers
and the very fact that a presentation at
tracts attention because OF is background
is great praise of the painter who supplied
that background and OF the managers who
contracted for 1t. The settings used in
Her Atonement" which was recently
done at the Academy of Music in New
York. not only brought forth the most en-
thusiastic praise from patrons of the
house but were heartily commended by the
press. Anson Ponds melodrama is said
to have been lavishly put on by Charles
Frohman, its mechanical effects and the
opportunities for filling the stage with
people both having been developed to the
fullest extent Her Atonement'' will be

her wonderfully fertile soil. Little thought
Is ever given to the Il, COZ miles OF irriga-
CATION canals that have been constructed,
and the 2.C0J, 900 acres OF land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, out
out Of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eighty-one special premiums
were awarded, covering all kinds OF fruit
and produce The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union
The fruit industry has reached s., 0o0, 600 a
year and is yet in its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is profitable industry. The min

other states in the Union in the output Of
gold and silver. does not compare with her
agricultural wealth. A handsome and pro-

Nowadays myriads Of prime sheep
and oxen sail in the course OF each
year from North and South America,
to be landed at Liverpool and Dept
ford, England, in satisfactory health
and condition. To bring these animals
alive by thousands from North Ameri-
ca is a good achievement enough, even
In this age Of progress; but to transfer
them In summer as in winter, In fine
and foul weather alike, from the banks
of the Rio de la Plata to those of the
Thames, and TO put them ashore in
such gtate that they are presentable
In the open market within very few
Of attention. The vessels employed in
this traffic go round the world. Sailing
from England, they generally make for
Sydney to take in wool, along with
some thousands of sides OF beef, which
are hung in a cool chamber kept at a
proper temperature by an ammoniac
machine. Or they steam from Austria
liza to South America, and, touching at
Buenos Ayres and La Plata, ship their
cargoes of live stock The vessel the
writer inspected on her arrival at
Deptford, landed 3,022 oxen and 1.200
sheep. She had weathered one Of the
worst storms of the last half century
towards the end Of the voyage. and had
lost between thirty and forty sheep
and a dozen oxen, which was consider
ed a high average.
Wet is the worst enemy these live
cargoes have to contend with, but the
mortality aboard ship is also due, in
a measure to the indocility Of the an
inals, and it appears that the death
rate is not likely to be brought down
until the rearers of stock in Argentina
take leaf from the book of the cattle

beasts intended for shipment are. first

ment arrives to export them, with the

In Argentina the oxen are not polled-

The TwinI.IinG of stars.

The cause Of the twinking of stars.
with which everyone is familiar, has
also been found. Mr.. Douglass dis
covered several years ago that the air
through which the astronomers OBJ
serve is full Of small waves Of irregu-
larities; these little phenomena are
about the size of an egg, or sometimes
as big ms mans hand. and they affect
the light like running water where il
ripples over gravel. As the waves pass
before the eye the light of the star is
first darted TO one side and then TO the
other. and sometimes il is spread out
into its colors and forms a spectrum.
Last summer DR.. See took up the sub
ject of twinkling. and proved by an in
gcnious inquiry that the cause OF stel-
lar sterilization, which philosophers
had searched for since the time of Ilum-
boldt. was nothing less than these small
waves discovered by Mr. Douglass
