Chase's Theater.

Fanny Rice, Mistress of the Talking
Dolls" was the bright particular star of an
excellent bill at Chases Theater last night.
Miss Rice's act is unique and entertaining,
and the applause of the large audience at
tested it's popularity.
Edith Decker, William Xanten and Signor
Abramoff, composing the Grand Opera Trio,
rendered the prison scene from Faust"
with splendid effect Miss Decker has a
remarkably high soprano and sang with
excellent dramatic effect. Mr.. Xanten and
Siguur Abramoff gave her fine support. The
orchestra afforded competent support for
this exacting feature.
Carleton Macy and Maud Edna Hall ap-
peared in "A Timely Awakening one of
the cleverest sketches seen on the vaude
VILE stage in Washington for a good while.
The acting of both principals was excep-
tionally good and the whole of the little
sketch was bright, with good clean comedy.
Stuart. the Male Patti attracted inter-
est by his remarkable voice and by his
handsome gowns.

Dividends to Creditors of Failed Banks.

From the recent report of the controllef
of the currency it is shown that the sum
of $1O3 954, 329 has been paid in dividends
to creditors of insolvent national banks
since the first failure of a national bank IN
1865.
1t is not generally known that all such
dividends are paid by checks on one OF
the United States assistant treasurers'
usually on New York, such checks being
signed by the deputy controller of the cur
rency These checks are prepared by the
receivers of the various banks and sent to
Washington for signature by the controller
or his deputy
The present deputy controller, Mr.. Thos.
P Kane during his term of office has
signed more than 17S,0O0 dividend checks,
aggregating over S2l,5lS,00O. Mr.. Kane,
therefore, during the five years or more he
has held the office has placed his name on
checks of this character amounting to more
than one-fifth of the entire amount paid in
dividends to creditors of failed banks since
the inauguration of the national banking
system forty-one years ago, and his name
is appended to checks representing more
money than were signed by any one of his
predecessors.

Lafayette Theater.

Running for Office" which began an en-
eagement at the Lafayette last evening, af-
fords amusement of the fast and farcical
sort from first to last. Music, jokes and
antics all contribute to the general result,
making the production typical of George
w. Cohan's work in general. AS presented
by Messrs. Conan and Harris for the first
time in Washington, without any of the
Cohans on the stage, the production is high
ly entertaining in it's own way. The first
act, perhaps. a little slower than might
be expected from this source, but certainly
no such criticism can be made of the second
act and the last. The plot is political in
the first place, as the title suggests, and
therefore gives great opportunity for COM
plications. But a fair amount of love, kit
tenish and mature pretty girls to march in
the torch light parades and a dashing song
now and then raise it above the level of a
mere button holing campaign. The scenes
are laid in Vermont town at election time.
and the fight is for the popular selection of
a mayor.
Hazel Lowry and Bobby Harrington, a
the youthful lovers. who are decidedly in
the way when their elders around, re-
ceived special expressions of approval last
evening. Mr.. Harrington has fresh tenor
the role formerly taken by Mr.. Cohan.
Each of the other members of the company
contributes share to the amusement.

PETITION FOR INJUNCTION.
Stephen n. Hines Appeals to Court to
Prevent Dispossession.

A petition for an injunction was filed
today in the District Supreme Court by
Stephen H. Hines, through Attorneys
Tucker and Kenyon, against c. j. Parkin-
son, Samuel c. Mills, a local justice of the
peace. and Aulick Palmer, United States
marshal.
The complainant alleges that he was sued
by the defendant Parkinson, before JUS
tice Mills for possession of premises NO.

against him, and from this judgment he
sought to prosecute an appeal to the Dis
trict Supreme Court and filed an appeal
bond, which he alleges was in conformity
with section 81 of the code
Notwithstanding the appeal the complain
ant declares, counsel for defendant Parkln-
son is attempting to dispessess him, on the
theory that his appeal bond does not act
a supersedeas and that the judgment OF
the Justices court may be enforced
The court is asked to enjoin the issuance
of the writ of execution. pending the deter
mination of the case appeal to the DIS

To Face Grand Jury.

John. alias Splicer. Allen. colored, who is
believed by the police to be the man who
has been guilty of all the pocket-book
snatching in the southwest, was presented
in Judge Kimball's court this morning,
charged with taking the pocket book of
Maggie Jenifer Saturday night. She was
standing at the corner of AZ and streets
southwest, and Allen, it is alleged, came
along, and after asking a question, snatch
ed her purse.
She held on to the handle, and after sew
eral vigorous attempts he tore it from her
grasp and ran. A crowd of persons, at
tracted by the woman. who pursued him,
chased Allen about three squares, when he
was arrested by Policeman Hayden and
taken to the fourth precinct station.
Judge Kimball after listening to the evil
dence. held Allen to await the action of the
grand jury under 81 600 bond.

National Theater.

The Americanized Drury Lane spectacle,
Mother Goose at the beginning of the
second week of it's engagement at the Ma
tional Theater last night, appeared to have
lost none of its attraction for local thea
tergoers. The scenic splendors, the amaz-
ing dances and marches and the marvel
Gus stage groupings aroused equally as
much wondering admiration on the part of
the audience last night as they did last
week, when the piece was presented here
for the first time, while the humorous ef-
forts of Joe Cawthorne as Mother Goose,
assisted by w. II. Macart and Henry Kelly,
furnished an abundance of amusement.
Miss Neva Aymar as Colin, continues
heartily I'm the favor of the audience which
was enthusiastic in it's applause and gen.
erouS with its encores. A large number OF
little folks were noticed in the audience
last evening and there was no doubling
their thorough enjoyment of the wonderful
picture prcsentat ton of one of their favorite
and familiar nursery legends. Mother
Goose is an especially appropriate attrac-
ton for the holiday season.

Columbia Theater.

he excellent performances given by Henry
W. Savase's English Grand Opera Com
pany last season were responsible for the
large and distinguished audience that greet
ed the organization al its opening perform
ance here last night at the Columbia Thea
ter. The company is practically the same,
which shows that Mr.. Savage is determined
to maintain the high standard which has
placed him at the head of producers of
grand opera in English. The opera present
cd last night was Puccinis La Boheme,'
which Mr.. Savage the first to produce
, entirely in English, although the first time
the work given in this city was by the
International Opera Company, Clementine
Dc We're singing the part of Mimi, Miss
Morrison that of Musette, while the others
Of the cast. with the exception of Mr.. Golf,
sang in Italian. The chorus was English.
There were only few performances of the
opera given, for the rights had not been Sc
cured to present il by that organization
Last night the cast included Miss Ger
trude Rennyson as Mimi, Miss well as Mu-
sette. Jos. Sheehan Rudolph. Winfred
Golf, Marcel: Francis J. BOYLE Colline and
Harrison w. Bennett, Schannard.
Mr.. Sheehan was in splendid voice and his
aria in the first act was well delivered
that its repetition was emphaticaly de-
m9nded. The beautiful duet with which
this act closes was sung by him and Miss
Rennyson with exquisite phrasing and eff
feet. In fact the work of these two all
through the opera-nOtably the duo iii the
third act, the death scene of Mimi and the
despair of Rudoph-was of the most ad-
mirable character. Messrs. Golf and Boyle
fulfilled the requirements of their roles.
both in singing and acting, and the latter
sang the farewell to his old coat in the
last act with powerful and pathetic effect.
Miss lVell hardly gave to Musette the
daintiness that the character. calls for and
at times her voice when forced in the
higher register. was at obvious disadvan-
tage. The ensemble work in the second act,
which is the only opportunity the chorus
has to show what it can do, was all that
could be desired The mounting of the
opera left nothing to be desired in pictorial
effect.
Puccini probably stands at the head of
modern Italian composers, and La
Boheme' is his best-known opera. 1t is
full of melodic phrases and both the vocal
score and the orchestration are musicianly
and charming, and above all, original. Mr..
Emanuel. the conductor had fine or
chestra well in hand It's work was deserv-
ing of the enthusiastic appreciation mani
tested.
Tonight "Tannhauser'' will be sung.

Academy of Music.

More to Be Pitied Than Scorned' met
with an enthusiastic reception at the Acad-
envy Theater last night. The author,
Charles +. Blaney. has based his play upon
the life of matinee idol and has woven
around the actors triumphs and sorrows
an interesting love story. The plot tells of
the love of Viola Keith. a clergyman s
daughter, and Julian Lorraine. leading man
of the Amphion Stock Company, and the
attempt of their enemies to ruin their rep
utation. Vincent Grand, heavy man of the
stock company, who is ambitious to sue
coed Lorraine as leading man, plots against
the latter, with the assistance of Julia
Clifford who carries the heavy female role.
A great deal of comedy is given in the lat
ter part of the second act, when a full
dress rehearsal of the members of the
stock company is in progress. Walter
Williams. Garrick Gaunt, a broken
down tragedian. proved highly entertain
ing. A play within a play is presented in
the fourth act. as the masterpiece of Jul
liam Lorraine, Her Hearts Idol" George
Hover and Louise Harmer introduced sew
eral amusing specialties.

of the new wharf at the Fort Hunt Va }
artillery station have been completed and
that the work of constructing the pier win

stakes.
The new pier will be erected about a quar-
ter of a mile to the north of the pier now
in use, and will be almost opposite the
wharf at Fort Washington A distance of
fully mile separates the two wharves
now, but when the new wharf is built it
will be within quarter of a mile of Fort
Washington pier.
The structure like the old one, will be
about three-quarters of a mile long, ex-
tending from the shore on the Virginia
flats to the channel bank
