BETHEL.
DEATH OF JOHN CARSON.

John Carson, who went to St Luke's hospital, New York, last week Tuesday, suffering with trouble that had caused hts health to be very poor for some time past, was operated upon Thursday after noon at } o'clock, for the remova. of 8 atone from the gall duct. About O clock p. m. Thursday, word was receiv- ed here that Mr Carson was dead, his death being caused by the nervous sliock which followed the operation. The news of his death was both sad and sudden to the family of the deceased and his many Bethel friends. MT Carson was we'll known citizen of Bethel, and for several years psst had had charge nf the lime kiln in Plumtrees. He was 59 years of age, and man highly esteemed by all for his many good qualities. The many friends here sympathize with tho bereav- ed family. The funeral of MT Carson was held at his late home in Plumtrees, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and was largely attended. The services were con- ducted by Rev Dr B. N. Adams, Rev D.. 0. Yoder and Rev Mr Wilson. The Ma. sonic lodge, of which the deceased was . member, conducted the usual ceremonies at the grave. During the services at the house, hymns were sung by quartet. The pail bearers were John Williamson, John Mead, John Murphy, William s. Wortman, G. Washington Wheeler, and Frederick Bevans.-[Newe.

The CoIumbia-.My Lady Dninty.n
Herbert kelcey and Effe Shannon have
a very pleasing vehicle for the display of
their undoubted talents in MY Lady
Dainty" written by Madeleine Lucette
RyIey. who has made some very des .rable
contributions to the literature of the na-
tive stage during recent years. The play
was originally intended for the Empire
Theatre stock company, but Manager
Frohman. at almost the last moment. de-
cided that ii was not suited for the pur-
pose. and let Mr. Kelcey and Miss Shan
non have it for their offering this year
The audience at the Columbia Theatre
last night thought well of My Lady
Dainty" and the expressions of approval
were frequent and sincere. The play Will
never bring any great amount CT fame to
its authoress, but allows the stellar duo a
good opportunity to show their worth as
players of unusual calibre. In all truth
the Interpretation is much better than the
piece itself although the performance is
pleasing enough.
Mrs Ryley has the gift of writing par
ticularly bright dialogue. and in her
latest product exhibits some of the very
best work in this line she has ever done
She has supplied a number of situations
of the ingenious order, and had she hit
upon happier thsmc there could be no
discussion as TO the undoubted success of
the play. She is indeed very fortunate in
having in the principal roles two such ex-
cellent players as Mr.. Kelley and Miss
Shannon although the former does not
have much Of a chance to do the work of
which ne is capable. The part of Miss
Shannon is a great deal better than that
OF her co-star. and she takes advantage OF
every opportunity provided by the play
wright to do some effective acting Mr..
Kelcey is out of the picture during the
third act, a decided. although question
able innovation. The production is In
many ways an admirable one. The scenic
portion is adequate and the company is
good one. No organization could do more
with MY Lady Dainty" than does the
Kelley Shannon company.
1t is a lugubrious story of England and
America. The first and fourth acts take
place in the former. while the other two.

The Secretary of the Navy yesterday

The statement is made that the charge

The Graad-ynudeviIie.

Manager Chase's patrons were yester-
day treated to one of the very best vau-
deville performances that has ever been
turn to a house bill was signalized by
two audiences of unusually large proper
tions. 1t is seld5m that better vaude-
vile programme is offered and there is
every reason to believe that the New
Grand will this week enjoy holiday sea-
son of remarkable prosperity. Such a
condition CT affairs will certainly prevail
if Washingtonians pa;ronize the excel
lent performance in such numbers as the
merits of the admirable bill warrant.
So often the advertised headliners fail
TO come up to expectations that it is
worthy of especial note that the promi-
nent act on the programme, a sketch
contributed by James o. Barrows, John
Lancaster. Florence Wilburham, and
John f. Weber more than fulfilled the
prophecies of the press agent. although
their offering was "A Thoroughbred in
stead of The Majors Appointment" Mr.
Barrows, Mr.. Lancaster, and Miss Will
Durham were former favorites of the Co
lumbia Stock Company of three seasons
ago, and they were given cordial re-
ception yesterday afternoon. They re-
sponded by giving one OF the most enjoy
able vaudeville piaylets that has been
viewed by local audience for many
day. Built on familiar lines, is has n
great deal of infectious humor. with some
very brilliant lines. and the Interpretation
it received at the hands OF the players
was in thorough keeping with the spirit
of the piece. Miss Wilburham in par
her former efforts and did some remarka-
bly, good ingenue work.
Another headline attraction is Eugene
O'Rourke and Rose Braham in sketch
entitled "Parlor A" Mr.. O'Rourke is one
OF the best comedians now appearing on
the vaudeville circuits. and he has a ca
pable assistant in Miss Braham an at
tractive looking young woman who pos
sesses great deal of dramatic ability.
Another helper is colored youth who. in
the guise of suffering Senegambian, is
exceedingly realistic. Henri French is
seen in the same act of adrot juggling
in which he made such pronounced hit
at the Grand last season and his perform
ance Is uncommonly interesting and Won
derful. The Three Macagnos present an
excellent acrobatic turn in which they
win a large amount of applause. The
Four Juggling Johnsons, a former feature
with the Primrose and Dockstader min
strels, handle Indian clubs better than
any other quartette that comes to Wash
ington- Their efforts are characterized
by a grace and precision that are quite
remarkable. Two coed juvenile entertain
ers are MAZDA Snyder, who sings several
songs very well, when one considers her
years and evident inexperience. and gives
promise of much better work after she
gains the confidence that comes of famil
iarity with the footlights. and Annie

The Lafnyette-.Ari.,oerncy., :,

That the management of the Lafayette
Stock Company has no intention of adher-
ing to one line of plays was quite evident
in the announcement of Bronson Howard's
"Aristocracy' for this weeks bill, fol-
lowing Augustin Dalys clever farce of
last week. -Aristocracy'' is a play that,
to put it plainly, calls for good acting.
The situations are SO intense. the differ
ent types Of character are so etrcDg and
so distinctly marked, that 1t is no wonder
the piece was first sent out with the
great cast which presented it six years
ago.
The continued efforts of a California
family to get into New York society and
their ultimate success through the daugh-
ter's marriage to prince. form the main
theme of the play; but there is also an
interesting underplot which serves to
bring about some very dramatic cl
makes. One of the peculiar features of
"Aristocracy" is that not one character
in the entire play can be in any way
likened to another. Each seems to have
received the authors special attention to
the extent that should one be lifted out it
might be conveniently replaced by
another without in any way disarranging
the general construction Of the piece.
Miss Percy Haswell who has been
looked upon as an ingenue leading
woman, proved herself thoroughly capa-
BILE of handling heavier emotional roles.
and her portrayal of Diana Stockton is a
pleasant revelation. Miss Alma Kruger
has a congenial role in that of Virginia
Stockton, and Miss Lousie Macintosh is
seen to advantage in the part of Mrs.
Laurence. This is a small part, but Miss
Macintosh can afford such a one after
her emphatic success of last week Miss
Hortense Nielsen Is little cut of pace
as Katherine Laurence. The part is too
much for her. and her rapidity CT diction
somewhat mars a very pretty part
Eugene ormonde enacts the role Of JEFF
