Every play has been produced in first
class style. and not an audience has been
disappointed in any particular. In addi-
ton, the specialties are surprisingly
good, away above what is usually pre-
scented by repertoire companies. Two
large and enthusiastic audiences saw the

THE OTHER SIDE.
A Citizen Who Favors Another Postofice
Location

Citizen Who Favors Another Postoffice
Location.
The proposed new postoffice and gov
eminent building bill, introduced into
Congress by Congressman Dovener has
raised quite an issue in business circles
Yesterday the Register published the
objections of very prominent citizen
to any change in location, and the rea-
sons advanced were recognized as
weighty and worthy of careful consider
alton.
Another citizen, doing business far
Their up town, was moved by the publ
cation to advance some reasons favor
ing a change. He said:-
Taking it for granted that there is
a purpose to select the corner of Chap
line and Twelfth streets as the new
site, | think the proposition would have
behind it reasons entitled to at least
respectful consideration. In 1884, in
1891 and in 1898 the postoffice was in
undated by the floods of those years.
and the transaction of public business
was seriously interfered with. That o.
lection may occur again this year, or
next, or every year, for all we know to
the contrary, and it would certainly be
a point gained to secure a removal to
a location beyond any possibility of
interference by high water.
again, it is well known that the op-
GRAFTON of the Pittsburg division of the
Baltimore and Ohio road on Sixteenth
street is a serious nuisance and incon-
venience to all compelled to transact
business in the Federal building. The
sessions of the Federal Court, held
there, are interrupted a dozen times
day, just as sessions of the City Coun-
ell are interfered with every night the
body meets, by the passing of trains.
and the dirt, smoke and SCOT Of passing
engines are quite as Objectionable as
the noise, particularly in the summer
But there Is another reason for a
change in location, which combats the
argument advanced yesterday in an es-
sential particular. 1t was asserted in
this mornings paper that a removal
further north would be away from the
business section. l deny this. The
business section Of the city, as far as
the retail trade, the banks, the hotels
the newspapers, and a large portion of
the wholesale district are concerned. is
remain for many years is undoubted.
For all business men north of the line
of Thirteenth street, a location at
Twelfth street would be far more con
venient than at Sixteenth, while it
would be just as convenient for all as
far south as Fourteenth street. think
change north would be one which
would please a vast majority of bust
ness men-thOse who have the heaviest
and most frequent transactions with
the Federal authorities. and would be
welcomed by a majority of our citi-
ZenS
What will be done in the matter.
ultimately, is, of course. past guessing
now, but | desire to make the statement
that there is by no means an unanin1i-
ty of sentiment in favor of the reten-
ton Of the present location for the
Federal building. That we should
have a new and larger structure, all
viii agree; and many will urge that
1t be brought further north.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE-Matinee and
night, DISQUALIFICATION Company
A splendid performance was that given
OF the Black Hussar at the Opera House
last night by the Boston Lyric Opera
Company, and in spite of the bad weather
the theatre was crowded again to its ut
most capacity. The engagement this ex-
celent company is playing is phenomenal
but II is not TO be wondered at, for al
though they have given on their last en-
gagement and this ten changes of opera
each and every one has been given in a
most delightful manner The performance
last night seemed 10 go better than before
II that were possible or il may only have
appeared so on account of the many new
novelties introduced. The costuming was
extremely lavish and gorgeous and the
march of the Hussars by the chorus of
ladies was very finely executed The
company has made tremendous hit here
both socially as wen as artistically To-
night Vincent Wallace's grand opera Mar
itana will be presented and will surely
meet with grand reception, for the ad-
vance safe for tonight is now the largest
of the week.

AN EGYPTIAN GOOSE.
From the Baltimore SIM

Secretary F. G. Kirkwood of the Ma
ryland State Game and Fish Protec-
tive Association, has received a puz-
cling specimen of wild goose from Ha-
vre de Grace, Mr.. Kirkwood, who is
an ornithologist, said the bird was a
member of the snow goose family but
further than that he could not venture.
as he had never before seen a specimen
like it. He has concluded that it is an
Egyptian goose, whose scientific name
is "ChenalopaX aegyptiacus" Never
but once before, said Mr.. Kirkwood,
has one of these birds been killed in
this country, in so far as history tells.
The other was shot on Long Island in
1877
The one lately killed he has mount
ed, and 1t is a precious specimen. These
geese live on the east coast of Africa,
from Egypt to the Cape of Good Hope.
They are found in the greatest numbers
in the Soudan. They are not believed
to be good to eat being relished only
by crocodiles. The specimen, which
