THE Geisha," that dainty, fantastic,
modern musical comedy. the scenes Of
which are located In Japan. will appear
in this city OF the Opera House to-
night. The play forms an agreeable
entertainment from beginning to end.
Its well written dialogue is humorous
and clever; the lyrics are of the best
and the music Is as sparkling and melo-
dious as one could desire. japanese In
construction, the story shows that the
singing and dancing girls at the Tea
House of Ten Thousand Joys" entertain
visitors there just as their sisters enter
tain visitors In other countries where
stronger beverages are supplied. Un-
like many of the extravaganzas or mu-
sical comedies there Is u pretty and
coherent story running through the
play, which Is shown in two acts, the
first being the Tea House OF Ten
Thousand joys" the second a "Chrys-
anthemum Fete In the Palace Gardens"
The time is the present and the action

Then party OF English ladies appear
upon the scene. The chief Of the ge!sha

who wishes to marry her: and when he
hears her singing to an Ennlishman he
deprives the proprietor of the tea-house
OF his license and sells at public auction

singing and dancing girls. The COVER
nor desires to buy one and the one he
intends to buy is bought by an English
lady. who outbids him. One of the for
eiuners by Disgusting herself as geisha
IS actually sold TO the governor Instead.
This considerably mikes matters. but
eventually there is general disentan-
clement and OF course everything ends
satisfactorily. The humor of the dla-
logue and the dlvertinE situations keep
the audience in continual laughter and
the bright and pleasing melodies evoke

NO ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
False Rumors About an Invalid Who
Fell Against IL Window.

James Reed, Is years old, living at 600
NJ Street northeast. met with painful ac-
cident at his home Saturday which gave
rise to a rumor that he had attempted sui
eide. Reed has been sufferer for some
days with the grip and is now convalescins
He is in Il very weak condition. When he
arose Saturday afternoon he had great diff
ficulty in walking.
Reed had been up but short time when
he attempted to reach window short
distance from where he was sitting. Hc
| managed to get within few feet Of 1t
when his strength failed and he fell for
ward striking against the glass with his
right hand, which had been thrust forward
| in an effort to save himself.
The force of the contact broke the win
down and as a result the hand and wrist
were badly lacerated. Considerable ex-
| citcment was caused in the ncighborhood
| because of a rumOr that the young man
had made an attempt to end his life. Some
| eycitable person sent in call for the
! Emergency Hospital ambulance, stating
| that an attempt at suicide had been made.
and gave the location as North Capitol and
| & Streets. The ambulance arrived, but
went back empty.
The police Of the Ninth precinct made IA
| thorough investigation and say that the
| affair was purely an accident: that no at
tempt had been made at self-destruclion.
