A Tablet at Mt. Vernon of Miss Cum
uin1hAm

One of the acts of the recent council of
the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association was
the placing of a bronze tablet to the MEM
DRY of Miss Ann PAMELA Cunningham un-
derneath her portrait in the South Carolina
room in the mansion at Mount Vernon.
The inscription reads:
ITO the memory of Ann Pamela Cunning
ham, the founder. in 1853. and the first
regent Of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Asso-
citation. BY her efforts and in response to
her appeals the purchase money was raised.
and in 1853 the home and tomb of Wash
ington became the property of the Mount
Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union"
The council also passed resolutions to
have life-sized marble bust of her made
during the coming year and placed in the
Statuary Hall OF the Capitol. She will be
the first woman so honored. Mrs. Walker.
vice regent for North Carolina, wrote and
arranged the tablet, and is chairman of the

THE THEATER.
Columbia Theater.

The company now playing at the Column
bia Theater last evening repeated its excep-
tionally fine performance of Romeo and
Juliet" The tragedy having to do with the
Montagues and the Capuets Of old Verona
was selected for the first three days and
THE School for Scandal for the remainder
of this the final week of the company's
engagement. The efforts of the players
evoked genuine enthusiasm. Miss Galland
was rewarded with floral piece unusually
generous in size, which was passed over
the footlights to her The production Is
not only satisfactory in a popular sense
but it is what might be termed a students
presentation of the play. The demand for
a player of grace and superior accomplish
ments to portray the principal role Is met
by Miss Galland yet the exquisite lines
and the striking revelations of human ma
ture which abound throughout the cast
are not sacrificed in order to hold the star
in monotonous and fictitious pre-emi-
nence. The various interpretations which
SO 'favorably impressed the audience last
week have lost none of their charm, and
only words of praise are spoken of this, one
of the most ambitious and artistic enter
prises that Washington has ever developed.

Story of Proposed Consolidation of Two
Railroads.

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga, states that
the Southern railway and the Mobile and
Ohio railway will consolidate July 1, if
there is no hitch in the present plans of the
management of those roads. The informa-
ton has not yet been officially announced
it is stated, but is said to be based on good
authority. The dispatch states:
1.-The Southern has owned a majority of
the stock of the Mobile and Ohio for some
time and it was the intention to consolidate
them in April, but the fact that there was
considerable legislative excitement at that
time in the state of Mississippi caused the
management of the Southern to postpone
the matter. 1t was deemed the wiser
course to wait until this feeling had some
what subsidized before making public the
fact that the two great systems would be
united under one management.
1T is probable that the name of the Mo-
bile and Ohio will be used no longer than
July l. and that thereafter the lines COM
posing that system will be operated under
the name of the Southern Railway Com
pany."
of the Southern in this city elected the in
formation that the officials there know
nothing whatever of the reported CONSOLE
dation. Mr.. c. H. Ackert the general
manager, when called upon by reporter
for The Star, authorized the statement that
he had no official information concerning
the matter and did not believe that there
was anything in it. 1t stated that the
general manager would know of such a
transaction if it were known to any one in
the office of the company in this city.

The Southern railway freight tracks on
the Washington and Ohio division run along
on a high bank overlooking the river a
short distance north of Alexandria. The
wash of the waves caused by the passing
steamboat wheels has gradually UNDER
mined the bank until the railway tracks
were in danger of going down into the
river. Recently the railway authorities
piled several rloads of cinders against
the bank, and outside this broken stone
and cobblestones have been placed. This, it
IS believed, will prevent further washing
away of the bank and will save the railway
track.
