kernnn's-Harry Bryant's BurIes-
Iuers.

Harry Bryant's Burlesquers opened a
weeks engagement at Kernan's yesterday
and two large audiences showed much
appreciation for the various offerings of
the large and talented company. The bill
consists of the usual two burlesques and
the olios The first burlesque is entitled
Hotel Uproar." and during it's action
there are many new novelties introduced
in the line of songs and dances which
pleased the audiences yesterday immense
ly.
In the olio are found such weIl-known
artists In the vaudeville and burlcsune
line as Lew Palmer. who sings several
new songs and also pleases with his
familiar limitations: Bryant and SavilIe,
who score hit with their musical skit;
the Perry and Burns trio In the Wrong
Mrs. Lannigan," which kept the audience
in constant uproar of laughter during
the act. La Clede and Raymond, sn ac-
robatic duo: riilie Cohen. who sinr.s sew
erai songs in her usual pleasing manner.
and made many friends. and the two
J Judges. who do a series Of daring ard
hair raising stunts in the acrobatic lire.

entitled Captain Beans of the Mules Ma

looking chorus OF young women, are seen

Biiou-uoward and Emer.on,. show.


The Bijou opened its season yesterday
with the Howard and Emerson company,
which proved to be. without any excep-
tion. the SWEETEST show that ever came
over the burlesque pike to Washington
There has never been seen In the
Capital anything to compare with 1t in
point of absolute excellence. The pro-
gramme contains the names OF half a
dozen acts of such supreme merit that
the company might easily appear in any
regular high class theatre. Manager How
ard has broken away from the conven-
tional burlesque offering and has subst!-
tuted vaudeville acts of recognized worth
in place of the turns usually used to pad
out the so-called olio of the average trav-
cling burlesque organization. In the pres
ent instance the programme contains the
names of Charmion. whose trapeze act,
apart from the bit of spice she introduces
by the disrobing portion, IS far ahead of
eny of her competitors; Jake and Jane
Bernard. who fill in with twenty minutes
of amusing nothings: the Young Ameri-
can Quintette, four boys and a sprightly
miss. who sing spiendidly and bring a
vast amount of action to their turn: the
Musical Johnstons, who are the peer of
contemporaneors xylaphone players;
Laura ComStock in a budget or up-to-date
coon melodies which are uncommonly
cleverly rendered. and Joe Howard in
some of his latest illustrated songs.
The closing portion of the performance
Is burlesque called Fol de Rol," which
is in fact nothing less than the Weber &
Fields burlesque Fiddle de Dee." in
which an unusually large company is
seen in the many dances. oongs and Ell
sembles. Bobby Harris, Albert john
son, and Jake Bernard play the roles
ogrinated by Weber. Fields and Sam Ber-
nard, respectively. There are a score or
more of really good looking young women
in the chorus and they bring &c their
work an abandon and vivacity that are
not often seen in similar entertainment
Besides the principal people seen in the
olio the burlesque is enIivened by Susie
Rockamore, a fresh voiced young So
prano. who evidently has a future before
her that should be exceedingly brilliant,
as, in addition to her vocal accomplish
ments. she is graceful dancer and evil
denceS talent worthy of employment in
higher class of work. The burlesque
is admirably mounted and costumed The
electrical display at the Buffalo exposi-
tior is brilliantly reproduced and forms
a fitting climax to the bili
The management of the Bijou an
nounces that the matinee today will be
postponed and also that there will be no
performance Thursday afternoon or even
ing, as a mark of respect to the memory
Of the deceased President.

COMPENSATION FOR GUNNERs.
A Ruling by the Acting Comptroller
of the TREASURY.

In reply to a question from the Secre-
tary of War as to whether or not any
soldiers who have qualified as gunners are
entitled to extra pay as such unless be-
longing TO an artillery company or bat
terry. l.. p. Mitchell Acting Comptroller
Of the Treasury Department, has decided
as follows:
1T appears that under the orders now
in force no soldier is eligible for exam
ination for classification as gunner un-
less he belongs to coast artillery COM
pany, but / see nothing in those orders
to prevent soldier who has qualified as
a gunner from retaining his classification
for the period prescribed, provided ne re-
mains an enlisted man in the Artillery
Corps, whether in a coast artillery or
not.
Il am of the opinion and so hold that
under existing laws and orders any en-
listed man of the Artillery Corps. not
belonging to company, who has duly
qualified as gInner. retains his classi-
fication as such for the period of three
years. provided that during that period
he has not been out of the artillery serv-
i've for more than three months, and is
entitled to the additional compensation
authorized by law for gunners.'

That Clyde Fitch understands his art.
his trade. or profession, or whatever one
may call it. is without question. Not
since the days of Augustus Thomas
Alabama" has a play won its way so
quickly into the hearts of theatregoers
as Barbara Frietchie." which was pre-
sented at the Academy of Music last
night before a large audience. The pro-
duction is the same as was seen at the
National Theatre year ago.
The play is highly favored with the
tempestuous times of the Civil War and
contains a love story of extraordinary
human interest, with scenes that are full
of action, fine sentiment, and dramatic
strength. Mr.. Fitch has woven as pretty
story as has ever teen presented on
the American stage, though he has taken
liberties with the accepted traditions con-
cerning Whittier's heroine, by making her
charming young girl instead of the
grey haired old woman she was
Miss Frances Gaunt was the sweet and
interesting heroine whose sacrifices for
love are beautiful and touching. 1t is
role which gives her splendid scope
for the exercise of her art, and it is safe
to predict that even her most ardent ad-
mirers will be surprised at the ease and
grace with which she handles the part.
1t is a role which is probably better suit
ed to her temperament, emotions, and
sympathies than any in which she has
ever before appeared. Richard G. VIII
liams was very acceptable as Captain
Trumbull, and the balance of the COM
pany shows careful selection in every
part. J. H. Hazelton as Mr.. Frietchie.
and r ]. Quinn as Colonel Negley We're
particularly pleasing to the audience.
Judging from the clamorous expressions
of enjoyment that attended last nights
performance. Barbara Frietchie'' surely
won her way into the hearts of her audi
tors, and 1t is safe to predict that busi-
ness at the Academy will be even greater
this week than it has during any like Pc
riod since the house opened. 1t is
clever play, and the scenic effects are in
exquisite taste. The moonlight gathering
on the steps of the house, its soft colors
and creeping vines. the colonial interiors
with their prim furniture. are excellent
in every detail The customary matinees
will be given.

SOCIETY,".

Services memorial of President McKin-
| ley were held in all the Newport churches
| yesterday. Pulpits and altars were draped
| in mourning. The hymns were those
| which are known to have been Mr.. Nc
| kinley's favorites. Prayers were offered
| for the preservation of the nation and
for help for the new President, and the
sermons were on the lessons to be drawn
from the tragedy at Buffalo Everywhere
about Newport flags are at half mast, and
many OF the buildings are being draped in
mourning.
There will be no social entertainments,
at least until after the funeral of Pres
ident Mckinley. but it is probable that
the postponement of the cup races will
keep many who would have gone to New
York this week, and that there will be
some quiet entertaining during the latter
part OF the month.
