AT THE THEATRES.
The co1umbIa-.The Geisha.,

A large audience saw The Geisha" re-
peated at the Columbia Theatre last
night and the applause was frequent and
genuine, the many notable musical num-
bers coming in for a large amount of
praise. The management in determining
to continue the popular story of the
Japanese teahouse. in response to the
many requests for two more perform
anccs, evidently made no mistake, if one
may judge 10y the size of the gathering
last evening and the enthusiasm of the
spectators. The hits of the performance
were scored by Elgie Bowen, the attrac-
tive young woman who sings the role of
O Mimosa San, the Geisha girl: Henry
Norman, the Marquis: Grace Belmont,
the French girl. and John Park, as Guy
Stanley. Miss Eowen's voice is admirably
adapted to the requirements of her part
and her solos were all well rendered. Miss
Rclmont's work was one of the distinct
delights of the performance, while she
displayed a remarkably fine soprano. Her
dramatic work places her at the very
front Of her contemporaries and is much
better than is ordinarily witnessed in a
similar production Henry Norman's
enormous basso and his unctuous comedy
make his Characterization one Of unusual
merit while Mr. Park sings eXcellently.
dances gracefully and reads his lines in

GIFTS TO A LOCAL SCHOOL.
Trinity College Has Promise OF Val.
uabIe Additions

Before the beginning of the next years
work, Trinity College, the Catholic insti-
tuition for girls, situated almost within a
stones throw of the Catholic University,
will have another scholarship. This will
be the gift of the Catholics of Rhode ISL
and and Will be made in the name of
Bishop Harkins. Only students from
Rhode Island will be eligible TO IT. The
women of the State are now engaged in
raising the amount necessary to endow
the scholarship, and have progressed far
toward the 5000 which they will have to
obtain So successful has the effort been.
that it is proposed by the Rhode Island
ers to get another 5000 by subscription
and endow a scholarship to be called the
Rhode Island Catholic Woman's Scholar
ship"
The movement in Rhode Island was
started through the efforts of Mrs
Thomas H. Carter and Miss Ella Lorraine
Dorsey, of Washington. both members Of
the auxiliary board of regents of the in
stitution. Just before Easter they swent
to Rhode Island and helped form there
an associate board. The first work of
that board is now being done in the rails
ing of the money for this scholarship.
There have been formed seventeen such
boards in the last year, and each has done
something toward the support of the col
lege. There are now twenty scholarships
on foot and three have already been
completed. the s. 900 having been entirely
subscribed.
Some OF the boards have contributed
handsomely to the institution, Cincinnati,
for example. having signified its intention
of endOwing a chair of history with so. 900.
a great part of which has already been
raised. From New York will come a chair
of philosophy, founded with S225. 600. Bos-
ton intends giving $4,000 for a library, and
a religious organization of the Hub Will
donate $4,000 for a chemical laboratory.
From Brooklyn are expected two scholar
ships in the name OF Father Danlon. AL
ready the institution has had $l5 900 from
Mrs. Beary, of New York, for the erec-
uon of a chapel. The buildings and
grounds now occupied by the college rep
resent an investment of about $300. 900.
The sisters in charge are much elated
over recent promise made by the wife
Of Judge O'Connor. of San Jose, Cal. to
give the institution an art school and an
art building. Mrs OConnor has already
given an earnest evidence of her interest
in Trinity, through her previous donation
of large sum of money to be applied in
the purchase of reproductions Of the great
masters. About a dozen such pictures
have been bought already. When the art
school is built. 1t is understood that she
will put in II large number of valuable
paintings now owned by her.

THE Devils Daughter" which had its
first production on any stage atthe BiJou
Saturday night, was given yesterday De-
fore two immense audiences The show
is now the biggest hit that has ever been
seen at this house The entertainment
yesterday went great deal smoother
than on the occasion of the premiere, due
to the players being more familiar with
their lines The series of living pictures,
too, were more successfully presented, the
long waits that interfered with their en-
joyment Saturday night having been elm
mated. These pictures are without any
exception the most elaborate a Bijou au-
dience has ever witnessed and as works
of art they are distinctly commendable.
The performance of The Devils Daugb-
ter is notable in that it tells story that
is admirably adapted to summer audiences
and engages the services of a number of
the cieVerest comedians of the native
stage. The strength of the organization
is such that the Bijou stage is literally
crowded during the ensembles. There is
no doubt but that it is the one big sue
cess OF the year, and as such VIII be en-
