one which will appeal particularly to such
of the city's population as love the man

by Augustus Thomas. the author of "Ala-
bama," is, as might be imagined by its
title, replete with men and hOrses-the
1.-THE, courageous. dashing' soldiery of the
frontier cavalry posts and their we'll
trained, housekeeping chargers. the pic
turesque,, nervy, fun-lOvfng cowboys of the
plains and mesas and their why, devilish
tempered brOnchos. The men and the
horses are but incidental to a thrilling
story of love, revenge, loyalty and adven
ture-such a story one must write, who
would write truthfully, with Arizona" as
the scene of his work. The play will be
interpreted by an excellent company. and
the scenic investture, which is said to be
most elaborate. has been painted by Wal

sketches of actual localities from the pen

MISS CLARA BUTT.-"The voice of the
century is the phrase used by a New York
critic after hearing the English contraltO,
Miss Clara Butt, upon her debut in the me-
tropolis. This is but one of the many ex
travagant expressions used. not only in
New York, but wherever this artist has
appeared. Miss Butts voice is an unusual
contralto, one that has the quality that
touches the heart and moves her hearers.
Her interpretations are all that the critical
auditor could wish for. Assisting Miss
Butt are Mr.. Leo Stern, 'cellist, whose rep
utation as an artist on that soulful instru-
ment has placed him In the front rank Of
instrumentalists. This will be Mr.. Sterns
first Washington appearance, although his
name is familiar to all musicians. With
Mr. IsadOre Luckstone at the piano an
ensemble Is offered that assures a delight
full evening. Miss Butts only Washing
ton recital occurs next Monday evening at
the Universalst Church.

Worthington pardoned % crimin ais,

this abuse of power will be another

HYPN0TIST HART.
He Has Gone, after Coming Money
For a Week.

"Hart, the Laugh King closed
his weeks engagement Saturday
night with perhaps the best per-
formance of the week. The en-
gagement here was very success
full, Mr.. Hart leaving the town with
not less than $500 in clear profits.
He was so well pleased that he ant-
nounced that he would return in
''the near future. F"
Saturday afternoon the ladies
were the subjects hypnotized on the
stage.
Sixteen ladies, some of them so-
ciety leaders, went upon the stage
and all but two were hypnotized.
Half dozen were especially re-
sponsive subjects and were put to
sleep and made to chase butterflies,
gather flowers, wind yarn, etc.
Five of them danced a skirt dance,
gracefully and in time to the music
of the piano played by Mrs. Ben
Boyd, the opera house pianist.
After the ladies left the stage
class of small children took their
places. Nearly all of these were
easy subjects and were placed un-
der hypnotic influence.
Saturday night the unusual fea-
ture was the breaking of a 400
pound rock with sledge-hammer
upon the rigid form of MIR. Jean, a
resident of the city. 1t took six
men to place the rock on the SUBJ
ject's chest, stretched between the
backs of two chairs in a cataleptic
state. The hammer was WELD
ed by o. p. Lewis, the blacksmith,
and pieces of broken stone flew in
every direction, until the powerful
strokes caused one of the chairs to
begin to break down before the ex-
pertinent was completed by split
ting the rock in two. MIR. Jean
emerged from the ordeal unhurt and
was restored to consciousness and
walked smiling from the stage.
Many of the best acts of the entire
week were repeated by request and
several new features added.
Among the local parties who
were the "easiest subjects" and
took part in the stage performances,
some of them every night, were J..
M. Jean, Louis Fuqua, "Jocko'
Wiley, Wallace Harris, John
Ducker, Harry Edwards, Herman
Ennis, Ewell Wood, Jas. Garity,
Jesse Reeves, Jas. Quarles, Her.
bert Fruit, Will Wicks, w. L.
Whitesides, Stanley West, Frank
Byars, Jr., Charlie Nash, Carl
Moore, Mason Bramham, Geo.
Keach, Durward Roach, and
others.
Several local people took lessons
from Mr.. Hart and can perform
many of the things done by him,
putting subjects to sleep, etc.
