AT THE THEATRES.
National-"papa,. wife,

AT the risk of drawing large houses to
the National this week it must be said that
Harry B. Smith and Reginald de Kovsn's
"Papa's Wife, in which Anna Held began
her local engagement last night. is the
most consistently nasty affair ever seen in
Washington. The filth is not of spicy
and rather pleasing type nor does it ever
reach the extreme. But no farce yet pro-
duced in this country has ever been so
wholly without clean lines and withal SO
disgusting in it's dirt as Is this latest. Mr..
Smiths libretto, barring several clever
speeches, is an exceedingly stupid one and
Mr.. De Koven's music is not much better
When one has forgiven Florence Ziegfeld
for having staged the piece, he begins to
give that manager credit for having staged
it beautifully. The cast is exec lent
throughout, even Anna Held appearing TO
advantage, while Charles Bigelow is ex-
cruciatingfy funny. Scenery and costumes
are both exquisite. The chorus includes
more pretty girls than have been brought
here since Alice Nielsen's last visit in

The shaftcr-sampson Trouble

II might add to the gayety of nations
Just at this time if the old feudal method
OF settling difficulties by personal com
bat were revived. For civilized and en-
lightened men, it is usually better to rea-
son things out, for an idea can generally
be introduced into mans head more
quickly by argument than by knocking
out his brains. There are cases, however.
in which argument descends to vitupera-
ton, and then ii becomes as wearisome to
the public as the explanations of two
prizehghters who do not want TO fight
These reflections are induced by the

Grand-Hyde,s "Comcdians.,

The combination system OF booking
vaudeville attractions is one that Burke &
Chase had not tried in Washington until
last night-and are not likely TO try again.
Localities have good reason to know OF
the generosity and fairness OF the Grand S
management. Their acquaintance with
Richard Hyde. though begun at no less a
place than the Columbia. has not been so
agreeable. OF Hyde's eighteen "comedi-
ans. who are being seen this week only
FIVE are worth much comment. These five
are Willard Simms and Jennie Graham,
whose specially is eXcruciatingly funny;
Arthur Dunn. the diEinutive rib-tickler;
Galetti whose monkeys are we'll trained
and Helene Mora, VINO is in better voice
than ever before. The remainder of the
bill is contributed by the three Fortuni
Brothers, grotesque acrobats, with i'm
ported ideas Of humor: Jordan and Welch,
dualogists; Clara Bell jerome, who as
sisted Arthur Dunn the three Sisters Ro-
nay, whose work is little more than novel,
and Al Lesch, whose musical comedy
comes more than to the verge OF being q
muscular complication. Milton and Dollia
Mobiles are underlined.

Rismnrck,s Appetite.
fFrom the London Globe J

Among other amusing "reminiscences OF the late
Prince Bismarck appearing in Herr John Booths
memoirs CT the Iron Chancellor" is one relating
to the latters Gargantuan capacity for eating and
drinking. He told the author that the largest
number of oysters he ever ate was IT'S. He first
ordered twenty-five, then, as they were very good,
fifty more; aud, consuming these, determined to
eat nothing else, and ordered another hundred, TO
the great amusement of those present. Bismarck
was then twenty and had Just returned from
England His views on smoking are Of interest,
that in late years his powers Of cigar srnoking
failed him.

Chieftains on the stump.

(From the Philadelphia Record)
Thtrc was much hostile comment three years
ago upon Mr.. Bryan's stunping campaign through
the country, while Mr.. Mckinley daily made polit
ical speeches to visiting delegations at home. On
the score of propriety there is nothing between
these two methods of Presidential campaigning
for the most fastidous to choose, is there any
difference between the purposes and methods
of Mr. -McKinley's and Mr. Bryan's political tours
of this year. The people of both parties desire
to hear their political chiefs on the issues that
are before the country; and why then should
they not be heard?

Aguinaldo is planning an important ex-
pedition to capture Iloilo and slaughter the
American garrison. The intense confidence
and activity Of the rebels at the present
time is an earnest of their settled belief
that Otis is to be maintained in command
and that, hence, the dry weather campaign
will be in their favor.

school Trustees Meeting.

Much doubt has been entertained for
some time as to the action That would be
taken by the Eureka School Trustees on
the numerous applications for positions in
the public school. The Board held an
informal meeting Wednesday evening and
acted only on the applications Of the
teachers who had taught in the school
during the last term, and these particular
applicants finally failed Of election. The
other applications will not be acted upon
until the 20,h inst.
The Board was not ready to employ
teachers for the next term. but thought
that fairness demanded early action on the
applications Of the last corps Of teachers.
and for this reason held the special meet
ing Wednesday evening.

silver Peak.

New life has been given to Silver Peak,
Esmeralda county. by the finding Of
promising silver and gold lodges there
last Winter. Ernest Schendel returned 10
Eureka this week from a short trip TO the
new find and believes that there is every
reason to expect important developments
there within . short time.
The discovery was made by James
Courts, and he and T. J. Bell have since
located fifteen claims, which have just
been bonded to II. A. Cohen for sixty days
for one hundred thousand dollars.
The groupings Of the silver ledge are
easily traced for q distance Of three miles,
and this ledge Is crossed by q plainly
marked gold ledge.
II will be q difficult and expensive prop
erty to develop. Wood Is twelve miles
away and water must be obtained at Fish
Lake (Esmeralda county,. about thirty
miles from the mines. The extent and
apparent value Of the lodges, however,
will very probably fully justify unusual
expenditures.
