Outvittcd the Trap.

Several days ago o business man.
the basement Of whose establishment
is more or less infested with rats, pur.
chased patent rattrap.
"The day before set it" he declared
in relating his little tale, Il found 4
nest Of IA tiny rats in q bundle of
shavings in the basement The little
fellows struck me rs being just the
right kind Of bait with which to CAP
ture their parents. and put them into
the trap, huddled all together on the
top Of the lid Of q tin can. The next
morning repaired to the basement
prepared to see the mother rat, If not
the father, safely Gagged inside the trap.
you can imagine my surprise when
discovered that not only the old rats
were missing, but that the baby ro-
dents were gone as we'll. The tin can
top left in the trap showed ne how
the mother rat had effected the release
Of the little ones. 1t rested on the edge
Of the door leading into the trap and
through which the old rat would have
had to pass to get inside, where llc-
babies were.
Originally the tin can top was al
least an inch from tLe door, but the
parent rodent undoubtedly sized up the
game and carefully pushed open the
door until it rested on the floor. Then
she reached in and pulled the tin can
top over so that its weight held the
door down, after which the work Of
carrying out the little rats, not one Of
which was able to either see or walk,
was easy. Great rat, that old one, don't

THINGS THEATRICAL.

OF the many dramatic works, the authors
Of which have aspired to portray life in
Washington, but few have presented pic
lures that could be recognized by those ia
miliar with the locale described. The
Senator brought forward several types Of
an interesting nature, and "A Texas
Steer" though a farcical exaggeration in
every sense of the word, struck at the
root OF affairs in the National Capital. In
THE Wife" which will be done at the Co.
lumbia next week by the Frawley Com
pany, the color, though altogether Incl
dental, is extremely faithful, and the COM
edy has consequently always held more
than passing interest for the denizens of
this city, who can understand the true
significance of details that would go un-
observed elsewhere. Several Of the char
acters which take part in the story may be
easily marked for their likeness to promi-
nent men in the walks of life. from which
they were sketched. while the scene of the
embassy ball not only is familiar to So
ciety people here, but gives the women
of the organization presenting The Wife"
an opportunity 10 be seen in their best bibs
and fuckers. Since the feminine portion OF
the Frawley company is good to look upon
and since its wardrobe is plentiful, this
quality of the act will probably appeal to
both sexes of the audiences more than the
fidelity shown, but the fact remains that
the reproduction is a good one and that
Messrs Belasco and De Mile deserve cred
it for that feature Of their piece.

Despite the truth Of the proverb which
relates that a prophet is never without
honor save in his own country" 1t is sin
gular fact that Wilton Lackaye, whose
home is in Washington and who will be
seen here next week at the National The
atre, is never received anywhere with more
enthusiasm than in this city. When the
young actor visited locally with ''Aristoc-
racy," veritable ovation was rendered
him and each of his successive re-
turns has brought about just such
a greeting. The run Of ''Trilby' was pro-
longed at the Lafayette largely because of
the popularity of its Svengali, while Mr..
Lackaye's starring tours in "A Royal Sc
cret'' and DIR. Belgraff'' were engineered
in this direction with the assurance that
the player would do WELL Charles
O'Malley," the vehicle in use. was initial
ly presented year ago at the Lafayette
and excited the most favorable attention.
So continuous had been the praise vouch-
safed to him here. however, that Mr..
Lackaye almost doubted the verdict, which
has since been substantiated in Chicago
and other places. The star comes to the
National for the usual weeks engagement
and the series of performances will proba-
bly, be rendered notable by the attendance
of large numbers of his friends and ad-
mirers.
