Onion Soup.

Onion soup is often liked by people
who disdain the savory herb in any
other form. There is no doubt of the
wholesomcGcss of TIE onion, and those
who have never tried the soup are
recommended to use this celebrated
recipe of the elder Dumas: Take, fol
three pints> of soup, four Bermuda
onions or eight common white ones
mince them and fry to a golden brown
in two tablespoonfuls Of butter. Pour
in two quarts of water, season will
pepper and salt and boil until the on
ions are quite soft. Beat the yolks OF
three eggs, mix with the soup and
pour the mixture over finger slices OF
toasted bread. Milk may be used in
stead of water in this soup.

The Harm of Damp Houses,

cases to the presence Of certain molds
and fungoid growths which seemed to
be breathed into the throat. Remem-

uncle concludes thaea visit to the young

SandaW at The Emnire

Not content with the unusually good
bills that have been offered at the En-
pire Theatre since its change of policy,
Manager Schlesinger has this week pro :
vided what is doubtless the very best
show that has appeared on the Empire
or Bijou stage in many years In addi-
tion to the extra attraction of Sandow
the burlesQue that is offered as the open
ing feature is probably the most preten-
tious. and surely the best from a literary
standpoint, that the present stock com
pany ever attempted.
The book is by Byron Howard. and
shows a cleverness in construction and
dialogue that indicate the writer to be a
person of rlore than average literary at
tainment. The comedy. too. is clean,
clever. and poilted. a Day in Con-
gress," as it is called, is a first-cIass
burlesque of a daily scene of Washington
life that is almost sure to make hit
with the Empire audiences.
The Sandow show includes an exhibition
by the perfect man" himself, and an clio
that contains a number of unusually ex-
cellent acts. The turn of LezIie Brothers,
billed rs the Australian musical eccen-
tries calls forth repeated encores be-
cause of its novelty and uncommon merit.
Another act that attracted close atten-
tion and enthusiastic applause was that
of the Two Pucks." a pair of young
sters-boy and girl-who showed them
selves to be possessed OF as much comedy
and dramatic ability as many older per-
sens OF more experience.
The other features of the olio were a
farce given ~ Paul Barnes and company,
which was very funny; songs by Miss Julie
Ring who disclosed a sweet voice. ard
soEgs and canoes by Cross and Holden.
Shadows exhibition of posing and ath-
ietic feats was reserved for the last The
strong man has not been seen in Wash
ington for n number OF years, and he
was. therefore. a novelty to most of the
Empires patrons. Besides his artistic
posing, In which he showed to advantage
all the marvellous muscles OF his great
physique, he gave practical demonstra-
tions of his wonderful strength. which
drew forth establishment and admiration
He lifted with ease dumbbells OF great
weight both with arms and legs but his
GROWING achievement was the holding of
hundreds of pounds of weight composed
of dumbbells and human beings on his
chest and upper legs while forming an
arch with his arms and calves. He also
mounted horse and lifted great weights
from the ground. and with one hand
hoistcd full-srOwn man from the floor
and seated him on the horses back with
seemingly as much case as If the man
had heen a child. His exhibition was
unique, and undoubtedly an appreciated
attraction which will likely pack The EN-
pire 10 the doors all week.

The Imperial Burlesquers at Kernan's.

The Imperial Burlesquers are in the
foremost rank in their line OF entertain
ment, and their reception at Kernan's
Lyceum yesterday at both performances
was of the hearty sort. The company
made good in every respect by furnishing
a bright and amusing programme, in
which. from the first to the final curtain,
there were no dull moments.
John Cain. Harry Stewart. John Barton.
and James TenBrook are more than ordi-
narily clever funmakers. and there was
constant laughter while they were on the
scene in THE Proxy Widow and "Off to
the Front" in which the company ap-
peared. .-...
Blanche NewCombe is as clever as ever
in her specially and sang herself into ia
vor with several new and pleasing num-
bers. Nellie Russell is an attractive bur
lcsquer. who made hit with her selec-
tions. Williams and Aleene are funny in
their sketch, 'Dobb's Ferry" introducing
some clever dancing, John e. Cain and
James Textbook. assisted by Miss Edna
urllne. were entertaining in their sketch.

reno are above the average in their jug
Cling and club swinging acts. John B.
Barton and Anna Ashley. In the bit of
nonsense, "Canalboat SAL" earned lots
of applause. Mcbride and Goodrich made
a hit in their comedy bit with wooden

"a Homespun Heart" at Academy o.
Music.

"a Homespuu Heart" the pastoral
comedy drama which holds the boards at
the Academy of Music this week, is a
more than ordinarily meritorious produc-
ton.
The story of the play, while one of
simple rustic life, is full of dramatic sit
uations calculated to appeal to that which
is Lest in ones nature. That the company
which presents the play is equal 20 the
task was evidenced by the appreciation
shown by the audience.
The central figure in the play is Andy
Markoe. half-witted son of Richard and
Mrs. Markoe, who has been rendered so
by an unfortunate accident in early life.
Harry l.. Dunkinson, who plays the diff
cult role, deserves the enthusiastic re
ception which he received last night. He
fails in nothing, and his acting marks him
for better things in the future.
Blanche Warren, who plays Marion, ac-
ceptably fills the leading female role, and
she is enthusiastic in her work. Lulu
Espey essays the character of Senga Sey-
eral, daughter OF evil, and. as. the role
iIfers, one cf the villains OF the piece.
The character. while a despicable one, is
50 well tdhti ny MISS ESpeg lndl the a0-
miration of the audience for her excellent
v ork overcomes the natural dislike for
the part. and she was given a liberal
share of the applause.
"A Homespun Heart is well staged
and the first scene. the well-known out
door rustic one. is eniivened by the pres
ence of a number of Plymouth Rock
aud doves. The third scene of
the third act shows the Last Chance sa-
loon, with the usual dock-investing char
acters. A novelty is introdu' d in this
scene in the way of a tramp musician
Carl Sanderson, as Weary Willie. a hab-
itue of the place. plays the piano in u
way that shows him to be thorough
master of the instrument. His imitation
are excellent, and his story told through
the medium of popular airs is well worth
hearing. The company generally is we'll
and those who miss "A Home
spun Heart will miss one of the best at
fractions offered by the Academy this
year.

TO PAINT. PORTRAITS
OF THREE PRESIDENTS
Artist Todd Returns to New
York With Ample Material.
Will Paint Pictures of Roosevelt, Lincoln
and Mckinley for Union League
Club, New York.

Mr.. II. Stanley Todd, the celebrated
| ington for the past week collecting
| sketches, photographs and ideas for two
| portraits-one of Lincoln and the other
of McKinley-which he is to paint for
the Union League Club. Brooklyn, re-
turned to New York yesterday afternoon.
During his stay here Mr.. Todd also COM
pleted a preliminary study from which
he will paint life-size portrait of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The President has been
posing for Mr.. Todd half an hour daily
for the last week.
The portrait OF Mr.. Mckinley will rep
resent him sitting by table in an arm
chair, with his books and papers about
him. Mr.. Todd experienced some little
difficulty in getting satisfactory photo
graphs of the late President, but finally
procured them. The background for the
picture of Lincoln will also be an inte-
rior. but he will be represented as stand
ing

other way than standing" said Mr.. Todd

of him as his head
Data for Lincoln's Portrait.
Mr.. Todd experienced no difficulty in
getting all the data for the Lincoln por-
trait. In this he was assisted by Secre-
tary Hay and the President.
President Roosevelt will be painted in
sitting posture, with the light coming
from behind, and the face in half tone.
Mr.. Todd's specially is the portraiture
of well-known men and women. Before
coming to Washington he had just COM
pleted portrait of Mayor Seth Low, of
New York. In fact. list of the names
of the eminent men and women who have
yielded themselves up to his facile brush
during the last half dozen years would
be legion. Mr.. Todd had a studio in Lon
don for several seasons. Among others,
he painted Lady Henry Somerset, Cardi-
nal Newman. Lady Dudley and Miss
Frances Willard. His portrait of the
eminent temperance reformer. which was
done at Lady Henry Somerset's house. in
London, was the last one ever painted of
Miss Willard.

SUBTREASURY FOR ATLANTA?
Delegation Lays Request Before the Sec
retary of the Treasury.

A committee from the Atlanta Clearing
House Association called on President
Roosevelt and Secretary Shaw yesterday
and asked for the establishment of sub
treasury in that city.
The delegation consisted of James W.
English. president Of the Fourth National
Bank; Robert C. Lowry, president of me
First National Bank; Robert F. Maddox
and Thomas c. Irwin.
They state that an immense amount
of clearing house business centres in At
lanta, but there is no subtreasury nearer
than New Orleans or Cincinnati.
Secretary Shaw seemed rather favorably
impressed with the movement.
Representative Livingston will.probably
introduce a bill in Congress providing for
the establishment of a subtreasury at At
lanta.

Miss RusselPs Splendid Work.

Annie Russell, who plays the girl-she
OF the winsome, sweet, demure, and I'M
emotional character, as every critic has
declared-has never appeared to better
advantage. There are no thrillingly emo
tional scenes in her part. but she is re-
quired to portray the whole gamut of hui
man emotions-tender affection, deep and
shameful sorrow, fearful suspicion, awful
anguish, resigned despair. and exultant
joyful love in the end. She meets these
requirements in every instance, and there
is not moment while she is on the stage
that she does not act most naturally. In
Miss Russell's line of work she has not
yet shown what her limits are. There is
no better actress on the stage. and in The
Girl and the Judge" she gives a more fin
ished exposition of her native dramatic
art than in anything she has heretofore
attempted.
Mrs. Gilbert received an ovation when
she stepped on the stage last evening
She is a great favorite with Washington
audiences. and the gathering last night
was evidently very happy to see that she
retains much OF her wonderful vitality
and all OF her admirable art. There could
be no better portrayal OF sweet. ten
derby affectionate, doting mother than
that given by Mrs. Gilbert.
Mr.. Orrin Johnson, who plays the Judge,
is handsome, manly, chivalrous, and low
ing in the part and his acting is as natu-
raj and excellent as that of Miss Russell
or Mrs. Gilbert. All the others in the cast
are good. but Mrs. Mckee Rankin and Ma
thilde Cottrelly deserve mention for their
very good representations of odd charac-
ter parts.

Mr.. Washington at White House About
Postmastership.

Lawrence Washington, of Alexandria,
granddaughter of George Washington. and
candidate for appointment as postmas-

House yesterday and filed with the Presi-
dent an answer to charges which he heard
had been filed against him.
Joseph L. Crupper is the present post
master and endorsed for denomination by
the Virginia Republican organization.
Mr. Washington is a Democrat, fact
which arouses intense objection to him.
