acres. The foundation of the old bar
racks still stands on block 10, and the
old drill and parade grounds is located
upon block Is. which commands one
of the most magnificent river views in

whose parents are Portuguese. has
several times been visitor at the
court Of the Portugal government
and her beauty and her exceptional
musical accomplishments have attract
ed the attention Of the meister-singers
with the result that formal invita-
! ton has been extended to her to sing
there during the annual June celebra-
ton. This festival is the musical
event of the season, and is an occas-
ion which brings together some of
the most noted vocaIists and musici-
ans Of the world. 1t is mere of Il
court event than anything else and Is
always attended by members Of the
house of peers and the house of dele
gates. Among the visitors are repre-
| sentatives from the court of hing

NAL invitation to sing in Lisbon reach
! ed Miss Sylvia during the Francis Will

will be accepted. although Miss Sylvia
has not yet forwarded her reply. Such
an honor comes but seldom to prima

acceptance and fulfillment practically
means Il decoration. Miss SyIva's en-
gagement with the 'ErmiIie" company

Miss Marie Wainwright. one of the
foremost Shakespearean actresses of
the present day. will appear here in
n magnificent revival of twelfth
Night" Sunshine and shadow have
made themselves equally potent in the
delineation which Miss Wainwright
gives To all parts that demand them.
These alternating qualities are seen to
the utmost advantage in her portrayal
of the tender Viola and the equally
enchanting Cesario. The successes of
this remarkable actress embrace the
whole Shakespearean repertoire. She
has played all of the great bard's
heroines. She was the Orphelia, the
Portia. the Desdemona and the Juliet
with such famous artists as Edwin
Booth. Lawrence Barrett. John Nc
Collough and Tomasso Salvini. She
was the OrPhelia and Desdemona in
the Booth-Salvini presentations Of
Hamlet and "OthelIo." and the Fran
cesca of Mr.. Barrett's Francesca da
Rimini production. Her success in
Twelfth Night" has been opronounc-
ed and she has invested the part with
such life-Iile tenderness. grace and
ease that all unite in acclaiming her
the only Viola Of the present day.

The dismissal of the charge of using
abusive language preferred against
William Delaney. Il union molder. by
William Dittmer. a non-union molder,
resulted from the proposition from
DeIaney's attorney, c. j. Searle. to
bear the cost of the case. Dittmer
intimated that he would be satisfied
to drop proceedings if this course was
pursued, as he had no desire to push
his charge further than to see that
due punishment should be meted out
for the offense. His action against
Delaney has resulted in Il discontinue
ance by the union molders of the
abuse heaped on him and his fellow
workmen. and it was on the score that
the result sought has been accom-
plished that he expressed Il desire to

Lord Peterborough, who lived In the
reign of Queen Anne, was very frolic-
some, and one day, seeing from his car

ran after him with drawn sword In
order to drive him into the mud, but

self.
This nobleman was once taken for
the Duke Of Marlborough and was
mobbed in consequence. The duke was
then in disgrace with the people, and
Lord Peterborough was about to be
roughly handled. Turning to them, he
said:
Gentlemen, 1 can convince you by
two reasons that am not the Duke Of
Marlborough In the first place, have
only guineas in my pocket, and in the
second they are heartily at your serv-
ice"
