and arches, which support the walls of
the clcre story above. These columns are
of varied shape and very beautiful design
over the crossing of the nave and tram
SeptS rises the large tower, supported by
four larger columns and arches. This
tower is the architectural feature of the
building. and is the result of careful study
of the best examples of church towers in
the northern part of Europe. The plan of
the tower at its base is a square, but as
il lifts above the roof of the church it
changes into an Octagon and then rises in
a spire to an imposing height. The prob
lem of changing from the square to the
octagon is always a difficult one to accom-
plish gracefully. and in most of the Euro
pean examples the architect has either sac
rifCed the interior effect for that of the ex-
terror or else has sighted the exterior
treatment for his interior. But here not
only is the change in shape made pleasing
on the outside, but the effect of the in
side, with its Gothic dome and windows, is
imposing and Interesting.
The carving of the caps and holdings is
executed in delicate design and is copied
from the work done in the early part of the
thirteenth century of England. The church
the play OF light and shade being espe-
clally effective and well conceived, and,
taken either as whole or in detail. is per-
fectly harmonious and graceful to the eye.
Completed in entirety, the church will
have cost something over $1OO.OoO and will
equal in general beauty of design and con-
structiOn and in interior furnishings though
not IN size, any church ever erected IN this
section In the opinion of many we'll
verScd architects and builders the church
is far prettier and manifestly more stable

Colonel Preston in Alabama" 1t can easily
be credited.
The rest of the cast will be admirably
filled by the Frawley players. who seem es-
pecially adapted to the parts assigned to
them. Miss Georgia Welles. who has proved
her ability in a variety Of tngenue roles
will be prettily pathetic in the title role,
while Alfred Hickman will make manly
lover as Clement Hale. Harrington Rey-
nolds will play Hales adopted father, who
discovers that Lavender Is his own daugh-
ter. Ada Levick will have the role of Ruth
Rolf, Lavender's mother, while Mrs. Bates
will be Mrs Gilfillian, with Seene Johnson
her sprightly daughter Minnie. Geof-
frey Stein will have a good character part
as the old wigmaker, while George CASTOR
will play the physician and Frank Matthew
the solicitor Altogether 1t is a cast capa-
BILE of doing full credit to Mr.. Pinero's de-
lightful play, the scene Of which is laid in
the famous London Temple. 1t Is a dainty
play in which smiles and tears are mingled
amid some of the quaintest scenes and by
some delightful characters. The final per-
Torrance of THE Wife" will take place at
the Columbia tonight.
THE JUBILEE FIREWORKS-Mr. Pain
of the Pains Fireworks Company of New
York is in the city with his force of en-
ployes and is busily engaged preparing for
the three big displays and war spectacleS
that that company will give on the monu-
ment lot on the evenings of May %, "a and
25 during the peace jubilee. These exhibit
llOES are 10 Dc gwen on q large scale and
will equal. IL not excel, any similar ones
given in this country. The contractor Is at
work putting up the immense stand, which
will be built on the slope going up to the
monument, and directly facing the 18th
street entrance to the monument grounds
The natural slope of this knoll is particu-
larly advantageous for the erection of a
stand, the slope will be utilized in such
a manner that the seats will rise each row
above the other facing the north and form
ing an open amphitheater with the lake
and platform upon which the mimic vessels
will float and fireworks be shown, on the
low ground below.
Nearly 400 members of the District Ma
tional Guard will assist in the spectacle
that closes each evenings program, and
the scenery and effects used will give one q
| realistic idea of what battle is. The
separate displays, both in the way of aerial
and set pieces, will be unique, many Of the
devices being novelties. The final devices
and battles that will conclude each pro-
gram are as follows: Tuesday-Portrait of

English Cathedral.
INTERIOR FINISH OF GRANITE

The new St. Thomas Protestant Episcopal
Church, at the corner of 18th and Madison
streets northwest has been completed, and
Will be ready for occupancy within the next
few weeks. Some interior finishings have
yet to be looked after. but arrangements
are being made for an informal occupation
of the handsome granite ediffce early in
June. The formal opening and dedicatory
exercises will not be held until the fall,
probably in October. when all of the parish
toner's shall have returned to Washington
for the winter. Appropriate services will
mark the occasion, and it is expected that
many distinguished churchmen will be pres
ent to participate in an event so important
to the Episcopal Church in this vicinity.
A building graceful in its every line
beautiful and dignified in ensemble is this
church constructed after the early English
style of architecture. Its erection marks
the beginning Of a new era in the church
architecture of the country. The building
is constructed SOIIdly Of stone throughout
and leads the way to this more lasting and
superior method Of construction being
adopted in this COZ ntry in church building
The main walls and tower of the Church of
St. Thomas are of granite, the trimmings
and cut stoEework being of Indiana lime
stone. The roof is Of oak. supported by
hammer-beam trusses Of graceful design.
English Style Adopted.
An interior view OF the building disclOses
a striking and wlthaI a very handsome and
pleasing difference from any church con-
structed in Washington or the country at
large The English style IS followed out in
practically every detail, and. instead of
frescoed and highly decorated walls of I'M
stable construction; in this wide divergence
from the usual American idea, the interior
finish il Of rough granite hewn. with but
slight modification from the cutters eX
3eriOr design. The walls are over two feet
IN thickness and are Of solid stone. assuring
countless years of existence. The interior
of the edifice is marvclOuSly attractive de-
spite the simplicity of the style. The APP
pearance IS one of strength and purity, and
the finish IS warm and bright. The relief
from the dull gray walls is well planned.
There are alcOves and arches, supported by
prettily carved columns. These break the

often seen in churches and have a tendency
