Vaudeville at the Lawrence.

Manager Gassenheimer's Lawrence
Summer Garden offered its patrons a
remarkably good bill of free vaudeville
last night.
A large sized audience enjoyed the nu-
merous acts and almost every contribu
tor to the bill was compelled to re-
spond to an encore.
The greatest individual success was
scored by Miss Irene Young. formerly OF
the Rays "A Hot Old Time company.
Miss Young had number of new songs
to offer and she rendered them In such
a clever manner that she made a dis
tinct success. She sings with an abun-
dance Of that quality SO much desired
by the average vaudeville audience. and
commonly known as ginger" and as a
result easily led the other performers
in the matter Of applause.
Other acts which came in for a gen.
erous share of popular approval were
Harry and Florence Nolls, in songs and
dances and an interesting sketch: May
Rowe. a clever serio-comic vocalist and
clog dancer; Florence G. Fox. who sang
some new descriptive songs very well.
and Mildred Franklin and Ella Shields,
two attractive and talented young
women. each OF whom had something
new In the way OF popular songs.
The vaudeville show at the Lawrence
Summer Garden is free, and the seating
capacity is taxed every night.

PATRIOTIC SOCIETY
FALLS INTO LINE
TREASURY OFFICIALS
NOT WORRIED BY LOSS
Believe That Check for State of Indiana
Will Turn Up in Good
Time.

Regarding the reported loss in the
mails of a Treasury voucher for over
5000, 900 in favor OF the governor Of In
diana in reimbursement for moneys eN-
pended during the civil war by that
State. it was declared at the Treasury
Yesterday that even If the voucher
should be found by some designing per-
son It could not be turned into cash by
him under any circumstances. Owing
to the strict requirement that voucher
must be cashed by the person in whose
name it is drawn upon proper and full
identification. 1t is asserted that no one
but the governor of Indiana could Sc
cure the money.
The letter containing the voucher was
sent to the governor of Indiana on July
2. 1t was mailed in plain oinclal
Treasury envelope and was not regis
tered.
1t is thought at the Treasury that the
voucher will turn up all right. II IL
should have been lost or stolen 1t could
be replaced by a duplicate, which. how
ever, cannot be issued until after the
expiration of six months.

MRS. HAWKINS FUNERAL.
Services Will Be Held This Afternoon
at the Cairo.

Funeral services over the remains Of
Mrs. Sarah H. Hawkins. widow OF III,
late John ]. Hawkins, Of Indiana, whc
died suddenly Sunday evening. will b,
held in her apartments at the Cairo
this afternoon. Rev. William R. Turner
d. D., pastor of St. Michael's and All
Angels Church, corner Twenty-second
Street and Virginia Avenue northwest
will officiate. Interment will be made
in Oak Hill Cemetery.
Mrs. Hawkins had been a resident of
Washington for the past thirty-s six
years. coming to this city from Della
ware. Her first husband was DR.. S. T.
Deuel., who died soon after their mar
riage. After number OF years she
married Mr.. John j. Hawkins, who was
until his death. in 1892, chief of the ju-
dietary division Of the Treasury De-
partment.

GEN. SPAULDING'S RETURN.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury tc
Resume His Duties Today.

Assistant Secretary Spaulding will be
ing. after a vacation of sufficient length.
it is hoped. to set him on his feet again.
This, of course. puts stopper upon the
talk Of his leave of absence having been
a subterfuge to distract public notice
from his separation from the service.
The status of the case is simply that
the Administration has decided upon a
change in General Spauldlng's office. but
not upon the time for making it. A
younger or at all events n stronger
ard more active, man is regarded as a
necessity in vicw of the vast amount
of work involved in administering the
tariff.
General spaulding has signified his
successor shall have been appointed and
qualified. This choice, which few
months ago seemed easy to make, has
become beset with difficulties and hence
the delay.
Converse ]. Smith, special agent in
charge OF the New England district, ana
Henry Tichenor, said to be son of the
member OF the board of general apprais
ers, have been conspicuously mentioned.
but there seems to be some hitch af-
fectirg both CT these cases. Rumor has
it as a possibility that General Spauld-
ing may continue in office till after the
fall election, and that If some sturdy
protectionist and tariff student is de-
feated at the polls he may be given
this post by way of a consolation prize.

NO FRAUD SHOWN,
Secretary Shaw Talks of New York
Customs Affair.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw is not
inclined to accept as gravely importan
the charges recently made by a New
York customs employe.
This man. who was a laborer under
Collector Wakeman, alleges that he was
allowed to do certain line of work, or
dinarily assigned to those in the classi-
fed service. namely, the grading and ap-
praising Of sugar importations. He say.
that he received certain sums from the
sugar trust, but that he did no wrong
and made no wrongful returns or ap-
praisements.
He also charges that other customs
employees received sums OF money from
the trusts, but they are paid for making
impartial appraisements. not for under
valuing or for defrauding the Govern
ment.
Since there are no allegations Of fraud
by which the Government would bo the
sufferer, Secretary Shaw Is not as much
concerned in these stories as otherwise
he might be-

William Broderick Scores Success of
Production and Gives Highly Artistic
Interpretation of Pooh-Pah - Good
Vaudeville Bill at Lawrence Garden.
COLIlMBIA-"The Butterflies" COM
edy in three acts by Henry Carle-
ton. The cast:

| Nearly dozen curtain calls and de-
at the close of the second act attested to
the excellence Of the performance OF
The Butterflies" Henry Guy Carleton's s
clever comedy drama which was used
last night to usher in the third week OF
the summer season at the Columbia.
The play has not been seen here for
several years. when it was presented by
John Drew, and. although 1t is a diff
cult piece, owing to the peculiar char
acteristics of construction, there was no
evidence of roughness about the inter-
probation last night.
The play is an ideal summer enter
tainment. The consistent and interest
ing story is interspersed with some very
delightful comedy. All through the play
there is a vein OF humor which appears
at unexpected intervals and brightens
Up one of the most entertaining stage
stories presented to local audience in
long time.
Although the comedy element is pre-
dominant. the love story is by no means
-elegated to the background. Like lovers
from time immcmorial. the two princi-
pals in THE Butterflies" encounter many
difficulties in bringing their love af-
fairs to happy elimination. but at tho
conclusion of the play they are brought
together in a pretty scene.
THE Butteriies"is is wise selection for
stock purposes. for 1t gives the entire
company an even chance for public ap-
proyal. The characters are all interest
ing. each in its own individual way ard
local theatergoers will have better op-
portunity this week to become better ac-
quainted with the separate members of
the Arden company than they have yet
bad.
Stars Popularity Increased.
The part of Frederick Ossian affords
Mr.. Arden one of the best opportunities
for good work that he has ever had in
Washington. It demands both serious
and comedy efforts to considerable de-
gree, and the rapid-flre speeches that are
so numerous are not easily dealt with.
Mr. Arden was equal to every emer-
gency last night, and further cemented
his popularity with local theatergoers.
The entire company was uniformly
good, and very happily cast. Thomas L.
Coleman gave an excellent portrayal Of
the Englishman. Andrew Stronge, and
Emil Hoch did his best work since join
ing the company as Hiram Green, one OF
the newly rich. In Darlington Greene,
Wallace Worsley had a rather uncon-
a. IL
very satisfactorily, and
Fenwick Leach handled the small part |
Of Coddles, the butler. in good style.
Laura Nelson Hall was very charm
ing and attractive as Miriam Stewart |
Dodge. and Jane Holly scored dis
tinct success in the role of Susanne |
Greene, while Emele Melville was the |
proud woman OF fashion In every de-
tail.
Jim the Penman'' is underlined for

The farewell week of the summer sea-
son of light opera at Chase's Theater be-
gan yesterday, and good sized audiences
were present at both performances.
THE Mikado." probably the most pop
ular comic opera of the last twenty
years, was the bill. and. as is always the
case with this Gilbert and Sullivan prod
uct, 1t furnished a good entertainment,
that was appreciated and enthusiastical-
ly applauded.
1t is likely that there never was an
opera that has been so uniformly sue
cessful as this Oriental musical concoc-
ton. which has served all sorts OF COM
panies as a vehicle in which to exploit
their abilities as yocalists and comedi-
ans.
Almost every operate player of note
has at some time or other appeared in
n cast presenting THE Mikado." and it's
music is as familiar as the nursery dit
ties of childhood.

A Good Production.

The company at Chases presents THE
Mikado" in a very satisfactory manner.
Indeed, it is about the best production
seen at the theater during the operatic
season. Several old favorites made their
temperance in the cast, and the per-
fcrmance went with the same dash and
smoothness that have been characters
tic of the productions at the playhouse
this summer.
The most pronounced hit was made
by william Frederick. as Pooh Bah. 1t
would be diincnlt for Mr.. Broderick to
be bad in anything. but as Pooh-Bah he
does some of the best work of his ca
reer. The part is dssimilar to any
