The presentation did not take place and
the performance went on in the usual way.
But one could not help thinking through
the evening that if there was a man in the
country fit to play the noble role of Cap
tain Conway that man was the one who
had risked n heavy financial loss rather
than use his national emblem for personal

COMING EVENTS.

With the recollection of former artistic
operate presentations at the Grand still
fresh in their minds, Washington music
lovers should greet with pleasure the an-
nouncement that the city is to have an
other season of the classics. The time Sc
lected for this is the week of April 10,
when the Grau company, now performing
at the Metropolitan Opera House, New
York, will come to Washington. Four
works will be given-three night produce
tons and one matinee-but just which
pieces are to be presented has not yet been
decided. 1t is more than probable that
there will be two Wagner offerings Of the
''Nibelungen Cycle" one of his lighter eff
forts, and Verdi or Gounod performance,
the ever-popular Faust being well in the
van as a favorite.
All of the stars heard here before will
come, and with them a number of new
singers of international prominence. Among
the artists who will positively appear are
Madames Eames, Lillian Nordica, Marcella
Sembrich, Lilli Lehmann, Marie Engle,
Mathilda Bauermeister, Marie Brema,
Mantelli, Meissinger, Schumann -Heink,
and NM. Jean and Edourde De Reszke,
SaleZa, DIPPED, Salignac, Van Dyck, Van
Rooy Bispham, Albers. Muhlmann, Cam
panari, Pringle, Carbone. and Plancon. The
conductors will be Mancineli and Herr
Schalk.
Richard Mansfield resumes his presenta-
tions of "Cyrano de Bergerac' in Balu-
more on Monday, March 6, after needed
rest, which has refreshed him much. The
strain of eight weeks rehearsal last sum
mer, the tremendous task of memoriZiug
part of II 900 words, and nineteen uninter-
rupted weeks of playing this exacting role,
have earned Mr.. Mansfield clear title to
a vacation. There is a generally expressed
sympathy with the distinguished artist who
was obliged TO lose the profits on so val
liable period as three weeks of his pres
ent remarkable season. 1t is pleasant to be
assured that his rest was not occasioned
by serious illness. and that he will resume
his labors refreshed and stimulated.
Considerable interest is being manifested
in the benefit concert to be given soon at
the Columbia Theatre in honor of Signor
Andrea Coda. Local talent of the finest,
the Marine Band, and an orchestra of a
hundred men are among the features that
have been promised. Great pains have been
taken with the programme in order that
each number may receive its full share in
the estimation of the public.
Undoubtedly the temperance next week
at the National Theatre of William Gillette
in his now famous war play. Secret Ser
vice" will draw audiences of unusual size
and brilliance to that house. There is,
probably, no dramatic offering on tour in
this country today which is awaited with
so much real Impotence as this magnifi-
cent effort by the author of The Private
Secretary" Held by the Enemy" Too
Much Johnson" and, last of ALL Because

Some players are conscientious and 9TH
ers are not but it Is indeed rare in these
days to find star who will object to any
thing that might advertise him, unless that
something would prove more expensive
than desirable. The coming engagement OF
Thomas L. Shea, at the Academy of Music,
recalls an incident that hardly belongs in
this column, because it is absolutely true
When that actor began his second return
engagement in this city last year the war
was attracting public attention, and houses
were suffering accordingly. Though the
date had been arranged because of big
business few weeks before, the manage
ment began to be afraid that its attraction
was going to lose on the booking. IL was,
therefore, determined that every effort
should be made 10 connect Mr.. Shea and
his vehicle, THE Man-oWar's Man,
with patriotism and national feelings
thing easily accomplished because of the
nature of the drama.
Workmen were Immediately secured and
began draping bunting and banners about
the Grand Opera House. Pictures of Mr.
Shea were hung outside and covered with
flags. Finally 1t was arranged that on
the opening night marine who had been
hired for the occasion was TO interrupt the
actor in one OF his strongest speeches by
running down the aisle and presenting him
with "Old Glory" The plan was an eX-
cellent one and calculated to bear fruit,
but when Mr.. Shea reached town and heard
of the matter he put summary stop to all
proceedings. He had the Stars and Stripes
removed from his photographs. and, though
he allowed his people TO leave the tri-
colored curtains on the boxes, absolutely
/ declined TO have the sailor accomplish that
| duty for which he had been employed. In
| vain the managers implored and cajoled.
| The star insisted that II he was presented
(, with the flag he would ring the curtain
| down on his performance Immediately.
The writer, who has known Mr. Shea for
years and who was party to plan, called
on the actor that evening and asked his
| reasons for refusing to be advertised. Re
spsct for the emblem of my country" said
| Mr.. Shea quietly and without a touch of

became convinced that its contents had
been copied from some volume or other.
Mr.. Andreas had in his pocket a pamphlet
which had been sent to him for his perusal
"a book on THE Art of Corresponding
and upon searching through it the pair
finally came to the very note which had
just attracted their attention.
Upon finding this duplicate the star
reached over TO her companion for mis-
pencil and herself undertook to reply to
the favor. This is what she wrote:
Yours received. For answer see first top,

Declared Dead by Society, He Was Ta.
 booed and Killed Himself.

booed and Killed Himself.
 In San Francisco there's a Chinese secret society, the laws of which are as strict and unehanging as those of the Medes and PersianS. One of the members of this society told some of it's seerets-an offense punishable by death He was to be tried in the usual way before a tribunal of the society.
 The night of the ordeal was fixed. The eulprit was represented by able counsel, but the sentence was death as was expected. An exeeutioner was called from an adjoining room. He was strapping big Chinaman, and wore one of those hideous wooden masks that art critics think so beauti- full. He carried q double-edged sword fully five feet long. To test the edge he folded a newspaper in eight parts, and the knife went through those eight thieknesses of paper as if it were q bit of butter in summer time.
 The culprit was brought in upon his knees, and another Chinaman, also on his knees, faced him and caught the traitor by the cue. He drew the cul- prits neck toward him, the smockwas pulled over the shoulders, and with one mighty swing the double-edged sword descended. Like a flash 1t eloYe the air and then stopped. A fractional part of an inch separated the sword from the victims neck. Very, very gently the executiOner brought the weapon down until it just touched the traitors neck. Then, as it is a crime to kill a man in San Francisco, he stop ped He brought the sword to his side again, turned to the jugdes and said: ''The culprit is dead"
 The newly executed got on his feet and said something to the judge. The judge did not heed for the culpfit was dead He tried to speak to the Chinamen, who were hurrying from the hall But he spoke to deaf ears To all fntents and purpose he was q dead man.
 He made his way into the street and the first thing that caught his eye was a hugh poster proclaiming to all Chinatown that he had been executed that evening. No one would speak to him, no one look at him-he was a dead man-just as dead as if the exc cutioner's sword had in reality de scended.
 For whole week that man wan dered about Chinatown, the posters proclaiming his execution staring him in the face at every turn. Not q crust of bread could he beg-not a mouth 1 full of water. His people knew him as dead-he was past gone, buried.
 And so one day he wandered up into 1 the American portion of San Fran cisco and stole a revolver from a mes senger boy, who was showing it to some companions. Then he ran down into Chinatown, sat down on the pave ment beneath one of his own death notices and blew the added brains out of his poor Chinese head.
