Since Sherlock Holmes was made famous
on the stage by William Gillette the play
has never failed to elicit encore after en-
core, or to attract large audiences wherever
it has been rendered. Last evening at the
Lafayette the title part was played by Err
roll Dunbar, under the management of
Bothner & Campbell. Mr.. Dunbar's imper-
sonation was one which met with the hearty
approval of the audience.
The characters were all we'll taken, Marie
Gebhart playing Madge Larrabee with skill
and care, and ], Hay Cossar very success
fully taking care of the part of James Lar
rabee. DR.. Watson was played by John De
GEE with good effect and David Davies made
a typical Professor Morarty, the rival of
Sherlock Holmes in the detective business.
BY no means the least of the good work
done was that of Harry Dickson as Ben
Jamin Forman, the butler and all-around
assistant of Holmes his changes of char
acter and style with his shifting of costume
being very cleverly done.
Kate Campbell, as Alice Faulkner" tho
heroine of the play, was excellent, and
when playing opposite to Holmes in sew.
eral of the scenes they created storms of
applause by their united efforts. The
scenery was sufficient and the costume cor
rectly after the original ones used by Gill
lette in his adaptation.

Cha Se's Theater.

Chases bill for the week offers Claude
Giliingwater and company and a mechanical
head the creation of a Frenchman. as the
headliners. Mr.. Gillingwater's sketch, THE
Wrong Man. was well received by two
large audiences yesterday, and the head
known as Pewitt proved to be an astound-
ing piece of mechanical genius. The face
is made to express all kinds of emotions.
The Melani trio, old visitors to Chase's
were greeted with great applause and were
compelled to respond to number of en-
cores. Couture and Gillette, comedy aero
bats, did some very clever tricks. McMa-
hons Minstrel Maidens offered a black face

Columbia Theater.

Not since Arizona was produced here
the first time has the plaintive mystery, the
dry humor and the weird romanticism
which are a part of the comedy and trag-
edy of wild prairie life been depicted so de-
lightfully and so graphically to the play
goers of Washington as was the case at tue
Columbia Theater last night, when The
Virginian" was given it's initial perform
ance in the capital city. The piece embodies
the principal incidents in Owen Wister's
novel of the same name, and in dramatic
form it impressvely conveys to the audience
the atmosphere of that western borderland
where high sense of natural Justice was
wont to reign untrammeled in the absence
of law. and where retribution was melted
out with swiftneSS and dispatch to the deS-
ecrators of the rights of other men. One in
full sympathy with the spirit of the play is
conscious of the strange fascination of the
plains, of the strong, vrulent life, of the
thrilling spirit of adventure and the bonds
OF good fellowship, which actuated the pio-
neers of the prairies in their struggles to-
ward the upbuilding of the new country.
Mr.. Dustin Farnum, in the title role, has
made the Virginian stand out with striking
force as a strange character study. His
characteristic compoSure, GOODNESS and re-
serve are in strong contrast with the adj
Venturous action in which he participates.
In all his work he is deliberate and convinc-
ing, and bears himself with that certain

to depend on himself for whatever of sue
cess he may achieve in any purpose 1t is
to be expected that duty STANDS first with
him. even above his loyalty to friends and
his love. His impersonaton of the role is
both artistic and strong
Another strong character in the piece is
that of Trdmpas, who is depicted with great
skill by Frank Campeau as type of the
reckless and lawless cattle rustler of the
ranges, daring and desperate rather than
courageous. Miss Helen Holmes who por-
trayed the school ma am, was charmingly
natural and winsome and proved Interest,"

VESSEL GOES DOWN.
Obstruction Causes Damage TO lug
and Serious Injury to Master.

Govt pohert T. Brown master of the
+ue lanes q. Carter. is lying in the Emer-
eency Hospital with an ugly gunsho.
wound in his leg and his vessel lies sunhen
on the fats at the forks of the channel
below the Long bridge, in consequence OF
the tug running against an obstruction
hidden under the surface of the wafer. The
hospital surgeons state today that his con-
dition is favorable.
The tug had been to Georgetown to dellv-
er vessel and was on her way down the
stream when the accident occurred Sne
was sfeaming along at gooo rate %
speed with Capt. Brown at the Wheei,
when a lar was felt and the vessel keeled
heavily to one side. AS she did SO gun

Capt. Brown fell and the hammer struck
discharge. The entire contents of both
barrels struck Capt. Brown In the ieg'
| tearing away the flesh above the ankle
Word was brought to Capt. Brown that
the obstruction which the tug mao str ..na
had made hole in the bottom of the yes
sci, and through it the water was pouring
faster than the pumps could get IL out
and though he was in great pain ne sue
ceeded in putting his vessel in the shallow
water of the flats before she sank.
The naval tug Triton and the harbor
police boat Vigilant went out to the aid
of the disabled vessel and Capt Brown
was taken aboard the Triton and brought
to the 9th street wharf. He was taken
thence to the Emer gency Hospital. At the
hospital it was found that while the leg
was badly lacerated by the shot, the bones
are not broken. and the surgeons are con-
fident they will be able to save the limb.
The Carter lies in about six feet or
water. about a mile below the Long bridge.
How badly she is damaged cannot be as
certained until she is fioated, but the injury
is serious one. The hole in her hull must
no 1ar ba
out by the tugs that worked on her the
greater part of yesterday. The water was
lowered in her sufficiently to remove her
higher upon the flats in shoal water, where
the tide would not cover her decks, but 1t
was deemed unsafe to attempt to bring her
to the city. The hole in the vessels hull
lies low in her hull and cannot be stopped
from the inside and it is feared the under
water portion of her stern has been torn
away.
The tug belongs to A. J. Taylor & Bro,
and Capt Jack Taylor is at the wreck
arranging to have the vessel raised as
soon as possible.

Chronic Catarrh Cured.

Do not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach. 1t cannot be
cured in that manner. The only way In
which this common disease can be cured
is through direct application that will
kill the germs of catarrh and prevent
their growth. Hyomei is the only known
method of treatment that accomplishes
this. It is the simplest, most pleasant and
only absolute cure for catarrh that has
ever been discovered.
Mrs. C. A. Derby of Beverly, Mass.
writes: MY husband has had catarrhal
trouble for thirty years, and Hyomei is
the first thing which has ever helped him.
He had catarrh in its worst form, and
nothing except Hyomei ever had any eff
feet on it whatever. This gave him relief
from the first and he has steadily i'm
proved until now he is cured"
Henry Evans has so much confidence in
the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh that
he will sell the treatment under his per-
sonal guarantee to refund the money if
the purchasers can say it did not benefit
