The Cadette.

Notwithstanding the inclement
weather, the opera house was com
fortably filled last night for the
presentation oil the Cadette by the
stock company. 1t had been her
aided as the strong bill of the week
and was certainly fully up to the
representations. 1t Is somewhat
of spectacular affair, and when
staged as 1t will be next season will
be one of the strongest on the road.
1t was writtenby Mr.. Dave Woods,
himself, and presents many strong
situations. Some dozen curtain
calls kept the stage men busy after
the third act, and the chances are
that the curtain would be going mp
yet If the band had not gotten
winded, and the act had to be stop

the picture at the close of that act
gave the audience commissions.

cellent and the reputation of the
Himmerllns, gained earlier In the

mously adopted by rising vote:
Resolved, by the Union Soldiers Al
lance. of Washington. ID. C., That this
organization of ex-Unicn soldiers of the
civil war is unanimously and unquali-
fiedly in favor of urging Congress to
place on the pension rolls at 500 pei

COMMISSIONERS DECLINE
70 CHANGE STREET NAME
Present Nomenclature Is Correct and
Title Suggested Is Same as That
Applied to Another Avenue.

The District Commissioners have re-
fused to approve a bill recently submit
ted to them by the chairman of the
House District Committee. which pro-
vided that Fourth Street northeast.
north of T Street be designated here
after as University Avenue.
The principal reason given by the
Commissioners for disappearing the
change is that there is a thOroughfare
known as University Avenue in Ameri-
can University Park. and they believe
two streets of the same name would
lead to confusion. The Commissioners
also say that Fourth Street is the
proner designation for the thorough
fare.
