PRETTY DANCING.
Children Behind the Footlights at the
National Theater.

Childish beauty and grace ruled behind
the footlights of the National Theater last
night. when the pupils Of Miss Minnie E.
Hawkes. dancing school gave an exhibition
of their ability to dance and sing. There
were dances of all kinds. and the music
was bright and catchy. Intermingled with
the songs and dances was the story of
Jack and the Beanstalk," told In bright
and entertaining way
The fond parents and delighted relatives
and friends of each of the tots upon the
stage crowded the seating capacity Of the
theateH to its utmost, and each number was
enthusiastically received. Miss Dorothy
Virginia Mayer sang II Want to be an
that II the audience could have had its
way, judging from the amount of applause
the little miss received, would have in
sured the qualification Of her wish. Little
Anna Harvey, a tot of three years. was
graceful in the role of La Infanta.
The babies minuet was given by a num-
Der little misses and masters and fifteen
young ladies attired in black were pleasing
in the waltz ballet.
Those who participated in the songs and
dances were: Miss Audry Johnson and
Master Irwin Cosgrove, Miss Helen Lock-
wood Miss Elsie Sheets and Master Irwin
Cosgrove and Miss Minnie Webb.
The cast of characters in Jack and the
Beanstalk'' was: Mortal Queen. Miss Stella
Raymond; Jack. Miss Ina Clair Pagan;
Fairy Queen. Miss Rita Baer; Princess. Miss
Helen Lockwood; Herald, Master Harry
Eisenbeiss; Elf, Master Irwin Cosgrove;
Cupid Master Stanley DeNeale.
Little Ina Pagan, who has been before the
Washington public since she was a mere
tot, made great hit in the part of Jack.
Her song Come Out Dinah on the Green"
was especially attractive She exhibited
careful training. 1t will be recalled that
Ina scored quite success last winter in
the role of Charity In THE Little Pill
grims, and also in "Midsummer's Night
Dream" at the Lafayette Opera House.

Academy.

There is not a dull minute during the en-
tire time that the curtain is up on any of
the four acts and several scenes which 1t
takes to present the numerous happenings
and events which occur during the early
life of "A Little Outcast." The thrilling
melodrama Of that name tells story Of
New York life in a sensational style. The
chief purpose Of the attraction is to thrill
which it does. the audience being kept in a
high state of uneasiness at all times be-
cause Of fear that the innocent will suffer
at the hands of their enemies. Although
they do suffer at times, the tide turns at
the proper time. The interior of Chinese
restaurant and a panoramic view of the
Battery and dock yard scene are shown
the latter ending IN sensational fire. Dur
ing the action a quintet rendered a num-
Der of selections. Thomas P. Holer made a
hit with recitation, How Wyeth Won

LAFAYETTE Theater.

One of the interesting features about q
stock company is the curiosity which is
aroused by the constantly changing roles
of the members. The auditors who attend
week after week take personal interest in
the individual players.
By example, there was pardonable curl
osity on the part of the audience at the
Lafayette last night to see how the dashing
Eugene Ormonde, hero of many a thrilling
love scene on the boards of that playhouse,
would subsde into a clergyman and moral
ize. They were soon satisfied that Mr.. Or
monde can be as effective in the cloth as in
lovers bower.
OF course the friends of the Berger Stock
Company expect to find John T. Sullivan
most at home in the part of the villain in
the play, no matter what kind of a villain,
just so there is vllainy to be portrayed, al
though, of course, your polished, suave ras-
cal in evening dress is more to the liking.
Mr.. Charles Wyngate takes a youthful
part with his usual gusto. Mr.. William H.
Tooker makes the Eveliest and most mer-
curial judge who has graced any bench of
these or other times The strongest fem
mime role in the play is given to Miss Selene
Johnson as Ann Cruger. Miss Gertrude
Berkeley is a charming Mrs De Puyster.
and Miss Margaret Fealy is the blind
mother. Miss Jane Rivers portrays the
girl with the blasted life wildly that
the audience spots her before she gets halr
way across the stage or opens her mouth,
only she does not wear gray shawl. Miss
Susette Jackson is a lively Bessie
1.-The Charity Bali deals with love,
finance and duplcity. 1t is strong in senti-
ment and teaches several moral lessons.
A few improbablities are interjected, such
a Madison avenue family, in New York,
taking in a ragged boy from the street,
washing him in the family bathtub and
bolstering him up irr the best parlor chair,
but the company makes the best of such
impositions by the playwrights

Billy Goat as Mascot.

The men aboard the torpedo boat Rodg-
ers, who are conducting the oil fuel expert
ments at the wharf foot OF Sth street south
west, have a mascot in the shape of billy
goat, small one. without very many of
the bad traits usually ascribed to animals
of this species. The animal occupies a
large space in the affections of his half
hundred shipmates, for William Rodgers
or Billy as he is known, for short,
has made his mark on shipping papers and
has been formally enrolled in the ships
crew by Lieut.. Nelligan, the officer in
charge. 1t is true the mark is but a big
smear from the point of a small hoof, but
it goes. Billy Rodgers draws his rations,
and that is about all he cares for. His
quarters are ashore in neat building put
up by the engineers of the Rodgers, but
Billy does not occupy it much preferring to
run about the wharf under the watchful eye
of those to whom he is to bring good luck.

ChaSe's Theater.

A credtable production of 1.-The High
wayman" drew two large audiences to
Chase's Theater yesterday. George L. Tall
man, in the role of the Irish soldier of for
tune, the real highwayman, carried off
about all the honors yesterday. Laura Mil
lard lends most attractive stage presence
to the part of Lady Constance Sinclair and
sings effectively. The orchestra aided ma
terially in making the presentation sue
cess. THE Highwayman' is staged elab-
orately and attractively. feature of in
terest in connection with this playhouse is
the great number of noiseless fans which
serve to keep the house cool throughout the
performance These are about forty in
number, and distributed so that they
perform most effective service

The residence of Mr.. Lumen Carpenter on
Grant avenue, Takoma Park Md, was dis
covered to be on fire yesterday afternoon,
and but for the prompt arrival of neigh
bors on the scene the house would have
been destroyed. The flames were fought by
three women-Mrs. Carpenter Mrs. Little
and Mrs. Fitzpatrick-who formed a bucket
line and extinguished the flames before the
arrival of the chemical engine company
from Brightwood. The house is situated
some distance from the District line in
Maryland. The fire was caused by the
flame from an oil stove melting the reser-
voir and igniting the woodwork. The dam

Fruit Carrying Vessels in Peril.

The little fruit-carrying schooners bound
from the West Indies to the Chesapeake
with pineappels and cocoanuts aboard, had
rough weather on their last trip and several
of them suffered damage. The Maggie A
Phillips and the Richard Cromwell were
considerably the worse for the experience,
and the schooner Clemmie Travers, Capt.
Thomas, was only saved from injury from
the heavy seas by the liberal use of Oil.
The oil was allowed to drip from bags
placed at the stern and this prevented the
combing seas from running over the vessel.
The Travers came through a hurricane in
safety and her master ascribes it all to the
use of the oil. Capt. Thomas and the Trav-
ers were visitors here recently with lumber
cargoes
