TO suggest that the trustees carry more
insurance in the future
THE New Castle County Hospital we
also found to be well aud economically
managed and all its appointments in a
cleanly and orderly condition. Every
EFFORT of Superintendent Blackburn
seems to be to improve and brighten
the conditions Of the poor unfortunates
who are compelled TO spend their last
days in this institution. Our only com
ment would be that they should have
more protection from fire and would so
recommend to the Levy Court.
"The work Of the Ferris Industrial
School is one that we feel no good citi-
zen can fail to have the greatest interest
in. Here bad boys are converted into
good ones to grow up good men.
Money spent there now is doubly saw
ing in the future at the workhouse, and
good citizens are the result instead of
convicts We found the school and
grounds in first-class condition; and,
considering the means the managers
have had at their disposal, great results
have been accomplished. Tho boys
were apparently as well oontented as
the boys in any other school you might
visit and they seemed to realize that it
was all being done for their benefit.
In view of the fact that the bulk Of
} the cases coming before our grand jury
are of a small, trivial nature--causing
needless expense to the county and un-
1 necessary delay to the persons accused
I've would recommend that legislation

Three More Charges Pending Against
tlim-John Lemon Will Probably Be
Sentenced, and counterfeiters Ar

Sentenced, and counterfeiters Ar
raigned for Trial.
The United States District Court will
convene again next Monday after a re-
cess OF nearly two weeks. AT that time
District Attorney William Michael
ByIne will be ready to try an cases for
the Government that are still on the
calendar.
II is probable that some time during
the coming week John Lemon will be
brought from the workhouse and SEN
fenced for conspirng to frauduently
obtain naturalization papers He has
been confined awaiting sentence since
last June and prison life is beginning to
tell on him. His face is pale and
thin
Harry Rawley, OF Clayton. has two
charges of using the United States mail
for obscene purpose and blaelmail to
answer for. and 1t is likely that his
trial will be taken up within a few
days although an effort will be made
to have the case continued until the
June term of court.
There are still six Italians to
be tried for fraudulent naturalization
but what disposition of the cases will
be made cannot be learned Three in
dictments still remain against Joseph
A. DeI4ucca and each will be pressed
until a conviction is secured.
The trial of Bragio Malereosa. his
wife, Saba Malereosa. and Nicola Di-
Pace, under charge of several indiet-
ments OF counterfeiting money will be
the most interesting case to be called
for trial at this term, and IT is expected
that Malereosa, if found guilty, will re-
eeive the full extent Of the law. The
court will undoubtedly feel inclined to
be lenient with his wife, who has sew
eral small children. She is at present
out on bail while her husband and Di-
Pace are confined in the workhouse
awaiting trial.

REPORT KEPT FROM
EYES OF THE PUBLIC
Grand Jury With Council to
Keep Tax Collectors In
vestigation Secret

All efforts to have the report of the
special auditors who examined the
looks OF the city tax collectors made
public have so far been blocked. and
it now looks as though the public will
never know the result OF the probe
made nearly a year ago.
The latest effort TO have this report
made public was made several days ago
by certain members Of the Grand
Jury, but with the same result as has
characterized other attempts. One
member OF the Grand jury. who
thought the report should be publish
ed, and who was of the opinion that it
was a matter which needed the atten-
tion Of the Grand jury. If there was
an evidence whatever of fraud, request
ed Attorney-Ge General Ward to bring the
report before that body. This the at

Columbia Theater.

1.-THE Auctioneer'' has stood the test of
three successive seasons, an enviable record
for play In these days of sudden and
transient theatrical successes. Though pre-
scented at the Columbia Theater last night
for the third engagement within as MANY
years, its appeal to the humor and sympa-
, thy of the audience seemed to have lost
none of its attractiveness. The story of
Simon Lewis successful struggle for fortune
through the unique agency of a second
hand establishment, of his reversion to pow
erty as the result of the Vaccinations of
shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS men, of the ten
der devotion of the Hebrew couple to each
other through all their vicissitudes and of
Simons cheerful, philosophic attitude under
the varying conditions, retains all it's for
delightful qualities, and notwithstand-
ing its familiarity, the performance was ac-
corded generous approval by the audience
The play Is replete with an infectious
wholesome comedy which is responsible for
numerous outbursts of hearty laughter and
running through the whole story is an en-
Joyable strain of domestic tenderness and
broad, human sympathy, which cannot fail
to touch responsive chords.
David Warfield continues to impersonate
the character of Simon Levi. his original
creation, in a thoroughly delightful manner
and with sincere appreciation of the pro-
prieties of the role. His naturalness is most
refreshing, and at no time does he permit
even suggestion OF burlesque in his delin-
cation of the dealer in secondhand clothes
and junk. Both in his comedy and in his
appeal to the finer sensibilities he won the
unreserved approval of the audience. Marie
Bates as Mrs. Eagan contributes in a large
part to the amusing qualities of the per-
Torrance, and at all time prevents her
character, which is drawn on rather broad
lines, from antagonizing the sensitiveness
of the auditors. The part of Mrs. Levi is
played with true maternal instincts by
Marie Davis. and William Frederic gives a
very cred1table performance as Callahan
the ward boss. Eugene Garfield, who is
transformed from Mo Finiski in the first
act to Mr.. Finnegan'' in the remainder of
the play, has much to do with the comedy
of the piece. and received hearty applause
The performance retains all it's former re-
alistc features as regards stage settings
and scenes.

Empire.

''The Price of Honor" which opened
weeks engagement at the Empire yester-
day. has lost none Of its interesting fea-
lures since its appearance in this city last
season. The cast Is strong, and, judging
from the attendance and amount OF ap-
plause. the attraction bids fair to have g.
prosperous week. The action Of the play
is brisk. and is never allowed to drag. The
play deals with department store life In
New York. and tells story Of q woman,
who. by shielding the sister Of the man she
loves. is wrongly accused Of shoplifting.
By false marriage she is afterward be-
trayed by the man, who 10 an accomplice
to the real shoplifter. The play ends by
the shoplifter shooting her confederate in
crime because he turns against her in order
to free himself. Jack Regan, q Bowery
boy: William P. Kits. the landlord, and
Lillian Rosewood fill the comedy bill in
way that was real enjoyable. Lillian Rose
wood deserves special praise for cleverness
In handling her lines. Lawrence Finch.
Thos. N. Hefferon. Eieanore Browning and
Hayden Curran also did good work. Cyril
Tyler rendered several vocal selections be-
tween the third and fourth acts.

Chase's Theater.

Chase's. Theater is putting forward bills
this season that are remarkable for their
evenness of strength. This weeks BILL which
was shown to large audiences yesterday
afternoon and night, may be classed with
the best of the season. George Wilson, the
well-known minstrel. is given the honor Of
the headline, and there was no question but
that he held the position with considerable
difficulty, popular as he is, on account Of
the excellence of the other turns. Mr.. Will
sons monologue last night contained new
material and was bright and crowded with
local and political hits.
Lillian Burkhart and her company were
showed back to almost the closing number
on the bill. but the sketch presented "A
Strenuous Daisy" was so clever and enter
tanning as to make 1t share honors with Mr.
Wilson. Miss Burkhart takes the part of a
western girl, with carload of slang, sent
east to be refined. The part was well taken
and In a description of q horse race Miss
Burkhart scored one of the biggest sue
eesses she has ever had at Chases where
she Is always popular. Avery Strakosch
sang one classical and two popular pieces,
She was In fine voice. Another good act
and something new was the Four WILSON'S
on the flying rigs. The muscular power of
all four men Is something wonderful, and
they are undoubtedly the best in their line.

Academy,

A well-filled house greeted the initial per-
Torrance in this city last night Of 1.-THE
Choir Boy Of st. Mary's," a melodrama by
Theodore Kremer. 1t takes four acts and
several scenes to properly present the pro-
duction. and during the time that the
curtain was up the audience interrupted
with occasional applause some particular
stirring lines which attracted it's attention.
Two scenes showing the interior and ex-
terror Of boys boarding school. with the
pupils engaging in hazing new student
and later playing game Of push ball, Gre
ated considerable amusement. Lores
Grimm, a juvenile actor, appears promi-
nently in the cast.

Lafayette Square Opera House.

The debut of Miss Isabel Irving as star
last night at the Lafayette was robbed Of
much of it's interest to Washington theater-
goers by the fact that her manager, James
X. Hackett, had chosen for her play he
had already used in this city. 1t is a play
also that is essentially mans play, for few
heroes ever did more applause-imp
deeds than Stephen Brice, the role essayed
by Mr.. Hackett in the original presentation.
But despite this very evident handicap Miss
Irving won from an unusually large audi
ence hearty appreciation and enthusiastic
applause. THE Crisis is we'll known both
as book and play: 1t deals with the
strenuous days In the border states of the
middle west preceding and during the civil
war. 1t rings with martial spirit, and the
conflict of sentiment, as expressed in the
wordy duels between the southern gentle
men and the aboltionfst, appealed strongly
to an audience that seemed equally divided
on the subject. The play having already
established itself for what it is worth. the
interest naturally conferred in Miss Irving s
work. which, happily, has changed but lit
tie through her accession to the stellar
ranks. By earnest endeavor and simple
methods, Miss Irving has won many admir-
ing friends among the playgoers of the
east AS a leading woman she was recog-
nized with a due share of laurels. AS a
star she was accorded gratifying welcome
last evening, and although the role of Vtr-
GINA Carvel In which she appeared lacked
the interest of a new Interpretation, the
patrons of the play put forth every effort
to make the star feel she was appreciated.
The supporting company Is much the same
as was concerned in the Hackett presenta-
ton. The latter's role, Stephen Brice. OF
Boston, was played by young man of
splendid physique and the appropriate
name of Wilfrid North. Miss Irving was
surrounded with all the accessories of the
star, including a plush curtain with her
name enwreathed in gold thereon.
