Theatrical.

The Lady OF Lyons" considered by
critics OF English literature to be the
finest love story in stage form since
Romeo and Juliet, !" will be the Offering
ofthe Lafayette Square Stock Company
next week, The play is by Sir Edward
Bulwer Lytton, the eminent author and
poet, whose works have oeen recognized
as standard for more than half century,
"The Lady OF Lyons" has appealed to
stars of several generations, and has had
countless revivals, Nearly every roman.
TIC actor OF the past sixty years has had
an overpowering ambition to appear as
Claude Melnotte, while the play has
appealed with equal force to actresses
able to indulge their ambitions. Pauline
the Lady Of fLyons" has tempted many
actresses to Stellar heights. These twp
roles, each of equal Importance, will be
in the hands OF Mr.. Edwin Arden and
Miss Minnie Radcliffe next week. The
beautiful love story between Claude and
Pauline is a fascinating romance.
Claude is the son OF a gardener;
Pauline the most beautiful belle of
Lyons. Pauline is so far above
her humble admirer that she never
sees him. He, stung by her pride,
permits himself to be made the tool o her
rejected lovers, who dress him up as a
dandy, supply him with money, and
send him to WOO Pauline, thus satisfying
his own selfish ends and their revenge.
After he has succeeded, the beauti ul
Pauline learns the truth, and Claude,
overcome by the ignominy of his deeds,
departs for the wars. But in the mean.
time Pauline has learned the noble
characteristics of her low born husband
and loves him. The ending is happy
] he full strength OF the Lafayette com
pany will be utilized in the presentation
which promises to be one of the mos
interesting Of the spring season at the

Local Exel.e Matters.

The cases OF those saloon keep
ers OF the District Of Columbia who
are charged with violating the
liquor law on the third OF last
March Sunday, will most likely
not be tried until next September.
There is a possibility OF one or two
coming up In the next term OF
Court, which begins on the first
Monday in July, but even This is
very doubtful tor the simple reason
that the. Judges are desirous OF
taking their vacation about that
time. Only three cases, namely,
those OF Geo. M. Lehman, John
Brooks, and Lehman & lie Cuyre,
have so far been tried. Brooks was
acquitted, Lehmann was convicted
and has taken an appeal, Michael
O'Connor acting as his bondsmaa
to the extent OF $500, and the jury
disagreed in the Lehman & lie
Cuyre case, which necessitates an
other trial.
The others under indictment are
John De Alley, charge brought by
Policeman A. Stahl, Emanuel
Steinen, bondsman in the sum ot
$500; Harry Hall, charge brought

Information for Brewers,
Bar r,nnrts 60 Porto RIeo.

Beer Exports 60 Porto R'co.
The probable abolition OF tariff
duties between this country and
Porto Rico will be Of advantage to
shipping brewers. Under the pres
ent arrangement the tariff on beer
amounts to nearly s2.5o a barrel
and is a heavy handicap on our
export trade with that island.
Trustee Fred. Pabst, Ir,, on behalf
OF the Association recently sub
mitted this matter to the Treasury
Department. but the outlook for
relief was not promising, as Con
gressional action would have been
necessary. The gratifying intelli-
gence that Porto Rico's finances
are in such shape that tariff duties
may be dispensed with now makes
it incumbent on the President TO
declare Tree trade between the
countries. Such action by the
President will bring relief to brew
ers considerably sooner than could
have been expected from Congress.
