MUSEMENTS.

COLUMBIA THEATER.-The city OF
Washington's size and progression should
be depended to afford patronage for at
least one theater during the summer
months. The Columbia Theater, recognizing
the fact that the stay-at-homes of a great
city have some rights, threw open its doors
last night and presented that splendid old
comedy, "DivorconS, with a competent
cast of which Miss Eugene Blair is the
chief member. Miss Blair has had much
success as a star, and the reception of last
nights performance indicated that she will
be no less appreciated at home than she
has been elsewhere. The Columbia mas
been more notable in its recent offerings for
a high average of merit throughout the
company than for any explorations of
single performer, and despite the we'll
earned reputation enjoyed by Miss Blair,
general efficiency is still the conspicuous
and essential quality of the production.
Sardous rafting, rollicking farce is cal
culated to bring despair to the modern de-
Sfgner of repartee and comic situations. 1t
is risque in the most delicate sense of the
word; extremely audacious in its plot and
at the same time comparatively harmless
in the moral differences which it suggests.
1t is one of the comedy classics, and to
have seen it only indifferently acted is bet
ter than not to have seen it acted at all.
The performance by this organization calls
for no apologies. 1t was sprightly, intelli-
gent and smooth. William Bramwell was
remarkably good as the husband, who, by
meeting his wife on her own frivolous
ground banished domestic shadows and
made the would-be lover ridiculous. Charles
w. Sutton portrayed the youth who aspires
! to be a Lothario in an unconventional man.

Could Not Agree.

When Arthur Johnson, colored, reached
his home in Government alley late last
night his wife complained that he did not
spend time enough with her. On the other
hand, Arthur thought he was his own fres
agent, and his marital relations should
not interfere with his freedom. Mrs. John
son insisted that she had a claim on her
husbands time after working hours. and,
being unable to reach an understanding
in peaceable way, the husbapd resorted to
violence. A lumber was the weapon he
used, and an ugly cut in his wifes head
was the result. She was taken to the
Emergency Hospital for treatment, and her
husband was locked up. He was taken to
the Police Court today, but the case could
not be tried, as his wife was unable to ap-

A party of surveyors. under Mr.. Stockton
OF the Nicaragua engineer corps, are
already at work, and 1t is expected to have
cars running over the road as far as Four

be built with New York capital and the
electric power will be obtained from either
the Brightwood division of the City and
Suburban road or developed by water power
at Burnt Mills.

Free to Organize.

LAS to the second point in controversy,
we have to say that said companies have
never denied the right of their employees to
organize.
They are free TO do 50 if they wish, and
the companies are entirely willing. and
have always been, that they should do so,
but they will not force or coerce any per-
son in the matter, nor will they discharge
any one for declining to join such union,
nor will they discharge one if he does join.
THE companies feel that it is a matter

the society in aiding the poor during the
coming fan and winter.
Lincoln Post of the G.. A. R., with its

PentZ at 10 am, 2:15 and $40 pm, and
the return trips will be at 1915, 3, s and
