Last winter Irs. Fiske secured the
American rights to a new German play
that was notably successful in Berlin
According to the terms OF her contract
with the author Of this play, she must
make a production of it this season. this
necessity being the result of the usual
business arrangement made between
author ard actor in such cases for the pro-
lection of both parties. 1t was not Mrs
Fiske's intention at any time to use the
German play as vehicle this year. as all
her plans had been made to continue in
Becky Sharp which is enjoying as great
a vogue as that of last season. In accord
ance with her contract as to the German
play. Mrs. Fiske will make production
of that piece during the last week of her
engagement in Chicago. but it will not DE
used elsewhere this season. No title has
yet been selected for the American YER
sion of the new play, which has been made
by Miss Alice Brown of Boston.

The NntionaI-"The Girl From I'D
There.o

The company that Manager Charles Froh-
man has engaged to appear with Edna
May. in the latest Kerker- Morton musical
piece. 1.-The Girl From Up There which
will be the attraction at the National next
week, comes pretty near to being an all
star cast. for the roster of the organiZa-
ton contains the names of some of the
most prominent OF native entertainers of
the day. 1t is easily the most promising
lot CT names that have adorned any the
atrical advertisement during the past few
years, and there is every reason to believe
that the production will be of extraordinary
interest and merit.
Messrs. kerker and Morton. who wrote
The Belle of New York" and most of
the big Casino successes. are confident
that their latest effort will provide Edna
May with fully as good opportunities as
she has in the part of Violet Grey in
The Belle" in which she made the IN
precedented record of passing in a single
night from the chorus girl class to the
prima donna group, in which she imme-
diately assumed dazzlingly conspicuous
position, which she held not only in this
country, but in London, where her success
was even greater than here.
Manager Rapley reports that already
the production of THE Girl From Up
There" and there is no doubt but that
Miss May and her companion players will
be greeted by audiences that will COM
pleteIy fill the National next week.

NEXT WEEKS ATTRACTIONS.

Another Belle will pay Washington a
visit at the Columbia Theatre next week,
when George W. Lederer will send his
latest offering from the Casino Theatre.
New York THE Belle of Bohemia was
the successor to 1.-THE Founders" and en-
joyed one of the longest runs ever record
ed to a recent Casino production. and, in
deed, it is said by many to be the best
thing that Mr.. Lederer has sent out on
the road since The Belle of New York"
viii, met with such phenomenal sue
cess. Harry B. Smith is credited with the
book and lyrics. while Ludwig Highlander
wrote the music. These prolific producers,
it is said have no cause to be ashamed of
their new Offering. They have put into
this entertainment plot, which none OF
the pieces coming before has ever been
accused Of having. and they have also
written some bright, catchy music.
The chief merit of the entertainment is
the fact that it is always lively in action,
the stage being always busy. and one fea-
ture after another Is projected in quick
succession. The management says there
are pretty girls in profusion. Mr.. Lederer
has cast 1.-The Belle of Bohemia with
some very clever burlesquers. notably
Sam Bernard. Dick Bernard d. L. Don.
Paul F. Nicholson, jr.. Charles A. May
nard, John Hyams. Irene Bentley, Sadie
Kirby, and many others.

The Academy - Lafayette Square
stock Company.

Tomorrow evening the Lafayette Square
Stock Company win inausurate season
of one week only at the Academy of Music,
being compelled to relinquish for seven
days It's own home, as the Lafayette was
rented for this week nearly year ago.
While the white ribbon wearers are talk
ing temperance on the stage of the Lafay-
cite the stock company Will appear at the
Academy of Music in big revival of sar-
dou's Napoleonic drama, Nine. Sans
Gene" with Miss Blanche Bates in the
role created in this country by Kathryn
Kidder and afterward played by ada
Rehan in New York with great sue
cess with the Augustin Daily COM
pary. AS this will be the last week of
Miss Bates with the stock company her
admirers will doubtless flock 10 the Acad-
envy to see her impcrsoaatc the celebrated
washerwoman whose confidence in Ma
poleon antedated that OF the French Re-
public.
Nine. Don't Care, as the name means
when translated. is washerwoman who
trusts Napoleon for his laundry when he
is a poor military student. and years af-
terward, when he is Emperor. tie oppor-
tunity presents itself to him to show his
gratitude. The play is delightful COM
edy drama. with serious dramatic vein
running throughout the four acts. The
role is an exceptionally tempting one to
an actress. because of the unlimited pos
sibilities in the personality and sharp
tongue of the Nine. Don't Care. Indeed,
when the management desired to engage
Miss Bates for supplementary week at
the Academy she consented instantly
when asked 10 play Nine. Sans Gene. The
drama offers exceptional opportunities to
the other members of the stock company,
John T. Sullivan and Eugene Ormonde
hav. az the leading male roles. There is
practically only one important feminine
role. that of the washerwoman herself
though there are nearly two dozen minor
roles, which will be in good hands. The
scenic and costume requirements will be
well taken care OF and large force OF
supernumeraries Will represent a part OF
the French army.
All subscribers who hold seats regularly
at the Lafayette will find similar book
ings awaiting them at the box office OF
the Academy this week. Next week the
company will return to the Lafayette.

THE FIRE YESTERDAY.

The fire at Spier's Bicycle

caused by the explosion of a gas
oline sto<e. Mr.. Spiers was burn
ed quite badly, though not SER

tinguished the flames, which did
about $Ioo damages. Had the
fire gotten a good start, which
was prevented by the large mum

EASE AND DISEASE.
A Short Lesson on the Meaning
of d Familiar Word.

Disease is the opposite of ease.
Webster defines disease as "lack
of ease, uneasiuess, trouble,
vexation, disquiet.' 1t is a con.
dition due to some arrangement
of the physical organism. A
vast majority of the "dis-ease'
from which people suffer is due
to impure blood. Disease OF
this kind is cured by Hoods
Salsaparilla which puri6es, en-
riches and vitalizes the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures crofula
salt rheum, pimples and all
eruptions. It tones the stomach
and creates good appetite, and
it gives vigor and vitality to the
whole body. It reverses the
condition of things, giving
health, comfort and cease" In
place of "disease. ="

IN MEMORIAM.

| Charles Clifton Allen is dead
lon the goth instant, in his fifty
eighth year, amid the tender
ministries of sorrowing loved
ones, he breathed his last.
| Just as the peaceful day was
thro5bing out its beautiful life
upon the dusky bosom Of the
night Gods glad angel reached
down and touched the imprison-
ed spirit. Obedient to the touch
it plumed itself for Its eternal
flight.
Cold and pulseless now the
manly form. Still the warm
and generous heart. Nerveless
the hand, ever extended in coz
dial greeting. Dull, the ever
attentive ear. Lusterless, the
sparkling eye. flushed forever
the cheerful voice. Our friend
is gone; gone never to return.
No more On earth shall we
clasp his honest baud, gaze into
his frank and open face and hold
sweet converse with his noble
spirit. Farewell! Farewell!
c. c. Allen was no ordinary
man. High cnd noble impulses
filled his bosom. Strong COM
victions controlled his actions.
Fearlessness was inwrought into
his very being. He was zeal
and energy incarnated. Dire
disease could abat= but not para
lyze them.
He was true as steel. Not
more constant the needle to the
pole than he to his friends. He
had large business capacity. For
many years he was one of the
leading merchants of this Sec
ton. He served we'll in the

He never invited defeat by
listlessness and inaction. He

Academy Notes.

The Athletic Association of The
academy has organized with eighteen
or twenty members. With Mr.. L.
Hemenway as president they have
held several meetings. and all are en-
thusiastic over the plans for the COM
ing season They talk of building a
gymnasium hall and equipping it with
apparatus for the use of the young
ladies as well as the young men.
This plan is most excellent one and
worthy the hearty cooperation OF
everyone The good, to say nothing
of the pleasure gained from the gym
nasium work in college life, cannot
be overestimated and it is hoped the
plan will speedily materialize.
Another plan, lately created in the
brain of some progressive academy
boy, has already developed. AS a
result of the workings of this active
brain there has been organized a
"Mustn t-touch-it Club" among the
young men. Each young man be-
longing to this club has made a vow
not to shave his mustache till the
close of the present term. Should
such thing as vanity persuade any
one TO break his VOW, he is under an
obligation to treat the rest of the
club to an oyster supper. AS would
he expected, all are watching develop

Death to Country Merchants.

A movement is on foot to have
congress pass Il law admitting par
GELS of merchandise to the mail at a
very low rate of pos age Among
the arguments used is the fact that
in Great Britain the postage on par
GELS is six cents for the first pound
and two cents for each additional
pound up to eleven pounds, which is
the limit, thus making the cost of
sending an eleven pound package
twentysix cents. The postal service
of the United States has deficit now
