ADJUSTMENTS.

MR.. WOLFE AS HAMLET.-A new
Hamlet was introduced to Washington
playgoers last night at the Lafayette
Square Opera House in the person Of Mr..
Harrison J. Wolfe Upon the occasion of
the presentation of the play in New York
several weeks ago by Mr.. Wolfe, the critics
of the metropolis Joined in many words of
commentator for the young actor and &C
corded him reception rarely given to one
striking at a character SO exalted in the
world of drama. Shakespeare students,
and especially the followers of Hamlet, in
Washington We're naturally interested in
Mr.. WolfeS imDersonauon. They found
him something of an unconventional Ham
let, but withal most convincing one, and
his work evidenced careful study. There
was nothing of the rant in Mr.. Wolfe's
reading, while, on the other hand, there was
no lack of intense earnestness. In the
soliloquy the star of the evening was ex-
ceptionally clever. Mr.. Wolfe won the en-
thusiastc support Of his audience and was
compelled to make speech before the cur
tain. In appearance he was almost ideal.
Miss Corinne Parker, Washington girl,
was good Ophelia. and Mr.. William Gross
a thoroughly capable Polonius.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Wolfe and his
company were seen in David Garrick'
and the balcony scene from Romeo and Ju-
Iiet. Mr.. Wolfe made distinct hit as Ro-
meo, while Miss Parker as Juliet was SUI
perb in the scene. The Corsican Brothers
will be the bill for the remainder of the en-
gasement, with the exception of Saturday
afternoon, when Hamlet will be repeated.
and Saturday night, when Mr.. Wolfe will
play David Garrick

yet completed the bill which he is to present

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
Alleged swindling Game Worked on Several
Local Merchants
The Name of Georgetown Universfty
Used without AuthOrity-Other
News of General Interest.

A young man giving his name as L. D.
Hall, and claiming to have authority FROM
the faculty of Georgetown University, has
been, 1t is said. working quite clever
swindling game upon a number of business
men in Georgetown and Washington. He
managed to secure several hundred dol
lars by the operation, and then suddenly left
town. From the manner in which he con-
Quoted his operations, it is believed the
same man worked the same game in other
cities. and that he is still similarly en-
ployed. The matter was reported to the
police but the originator of the scheme
had gone.
His plan was to introduce the publication
of a book for what he termed the Exeter
Cooperative Association, composed entire
ly of students of Georgetown University.
The proposed publication was to contain
twenty-three pages of advertising matter
the space to be sold to local merchants at
the rate of so page. Hall claimed to
have been authorized by the faculty of the
university to sell tickets to the students
emitting them to discounts when purchas-
ing from merchants who advertised in the
book. The book was to be the organ of
the association. being exclusively for the
use of the students. 1t is not known how
many merchants advertised in the publica-
ton and were required to pay in advance.

ADVERSE OPINION.
Attorney Duvall's View of Subdivision
of A0seOsmeut.

Mr.. A. B. Duvall. attorney for the Dis
trfct OF Columbia. rendered an opinion yes
terday in regard to the subdivision of an
assessment for the opening Of an alley.
against lot 2, block II, Bloomingdale An
assessment of s116.3o was made against the
lot as whole. After this action the lot
was subdivided by its owners. who then
asked that the assessment be subdivided
also. In his opinion Mr.. Duvall says:
However equitable this may appear I
am of the opinion that such subdivision Of
the assessment cannot be legally made
The assessment was made by the condern-
nation jury, which, under the terms of Sec
tlon OF the act approved July, 1892 has
apportioned the amount of damages accord
Ing as each lot or part of a lot of land in
the square may be benefited by the opening

levy tax upon each said lot or part of a

tlonment, and to collect the same as other
taxes upon real estate are collected The

RESIDENCE ORDERED VACATED.
Chief Justice Alvey's Home Endan.
Gered BY Excavations.


The house at the northwest corner of B
street and Arthur place. facing the Capitol
occupied by Chief Justice Alvey Of the
Court Of Appeals Of the District Of Column
bia. and Mrs. J. H. Crawford. has been
vacated by direction of the District au-
thorities. who believe there is danger Of
falling walls and floors as a result of set
Ting brought about by excavations for the
big intersecting sewer in that vicinity. in
the course of the construction Of the sewer
ditch twenty-five feet in width and thirty
feet in depth was dug This ditch leads
through Arthur place, where it reaches
from curb to curb. across the west grounds
of the Capitol.
Great care was taken in digging through
Arthur place, it is said, for 1t was known
that majority of the houses in that neigh
borhood are built upon made ground In
spite of these precautions however, the
walls of the house occupied by Judge Alvey
settled, the heavy rains during the period
of excavation aiding materially in the I'M
dernining process. Floor beams in the
house were drawn out of the sockets as
much as an inch and half and as a re-
suit of an investigation by the building in
spector it was determined to have the occu-
pants of the house remove their effects.
Engineer Commissioner Beach has stated
that while there is no danger of the house
railing. in its present condition, it was
thought wise to vacate it to avoid any pos
sible loss Of life in case of further settling
of the walls
Mr.. o. L. Ingalls,. superintendent of sew
ers, declares that the damage resulting
from the construction Of the sewer is small,
and that the building ordered vacated may
be repaired and put in perfectly sound con-
dition at nominal cost.
1t is said the Bliss building, the sew
er. has also been slightly affected by the
excavations. The property owners have
been gathering evidence as the sewer work
progresses, to be in position to sub
stantiate any claims they may have in fu-
ture against the District authorities or the
sewer contractors.

REGARDING A PUBLIC ALLEY.
Revocation Recommended of an Order
Made In 1890.

After consideration of a petition OF prop
erty owners affected, and upon recon-
mendation of Mr.. A. B. Duvall. attorney
for the District of Columbia. the Commits
sioners have decided to declare the alley In
square 15S a public one This square Is
bounded by Massachusetts, avenue and N
street, 18th and 18th streets. In order TO
take the action above mentioned the Com
missioners found 1t necessary to rescind a
former order promulgated by the board
July 80, 1880. in which the proceedings to
open the alley were declared null and void.
In his opinion, just submitted to the Com
missioners, Mr.. Duvall says there was no
good reason for such action, or the opinion
upon which it was based, and further that
the explanation given in 1890 for not open
ing the alley was that the Force School
building. belonging to the District, pro-
jected into the alleyway about five feet and
the brick wall inclosing the school grounds
closed the west line of the alley.
although the condemnation proceedings
may have been I'll authorized by law" says
the attorney, yet the District having paid
the damages awarded to the owners of the
property for the public alley. it thus &C
quired the property in the alley for public
purposes. This would result although the
assessments for benefits might prove un-
collectab,e because of the want of legal
authority to impose them. The area of
thorities and accepted by them was remov-
ed from the tax books and exempted from
taxation because it a public alley.
Many of the lot owners abutting on the
alley have recognized it in conveyances and
some of them have made subdivisions
recognizing it.
The fact that the Force School building
encroached upon the north branch of the
alley as condemned while 1t might present
a case of improper occupation thereof
could not interfere with or destroy the pub
lie character of that part of the alley rum
ming east and west.
After recommending the revocation of
the order of 1890 and the opening of the
alley. Mr.. Duvall says that any attempt to
Depart from the lines of the alley con-
demned, by contracting them, would only
result in further confusion. In conclusion
his opinion reads:
1T may be that the property owners in
the square would have just ground to com
plain of the obstruction by the District of
the north branch of the alley: this diff
Guilty, however. may well be left for future
Developments the portion of the alley run
ming east and west may in the meantime be
improved by the Commissioners and it's use
enjoyed by the property owners in the
square,
