AFamous Theatre Site.

Lafayette Theatre is a comparative
ly modern playhouse, and occupies the
site on which formerly stood the Sew
ard mansion, in which Secretary Sew
ard of Lincoln's cabinet lived when
an attempt was made to assassinate
him the same night President Lin
coin was shot. In later years the
house was occupied by Secretary
Blaine.
Last year David Belasco found all
theatres in the national capital with
closely barred doors. He was arrang-
ing to make the initial production Of
"Adrea," Mrs. Leslie Carriers latest
success, and found no building in
Washington suitable for conversion
into a theatre, except Convention Hall,
probably the largest auditorium south
of New York, and in years previous
used for an ice palace, for six day bi-
cycle races, athletic meetings, and
other institutions requiring great
space. This had a hall some $50 feet
in length by 125 feet in width, with q
roof carried on huge semi-circular ar
ches rising to height of nearly fifty
feet above the floor Such a barn as
this Mr. Belasco in a few days con-

NARY, MOTHER OF WASHINGTON
Handsome Monument Erected by
Patriotic Citizens.


The monument of Mary Washing

Washington rode from Mount Vernon
TO say farewell-a final fareWeN.
TO his mother before starting for New
York to be inaugurated first Prest

who lived in Fredericksburg, Wash<

For q hundred years the grave or
this good woman lay unprotected, on
what had been part of the farm Of her
daughter Betty Washington, but
which became a common of the city
Of Fredericksburg. For half a CEN
fury the grave was marked by little
stone slab, but this disintegrated,
and disappeared. Various fruitless
efforts were made to build a mOnu-
ment and in 1880 a New York bank
er, Silas e. Burroughs, offered to give
an elaborate monument. The corner
stone was laid with imposing cere-
monies by President Andrew Jackson
but Burroughs met with financial rel

Even The People From The Country.

DR.. John ii. Girdner, an eminent
New York physician, said recently:
Build wall around New York city
allow no new men to enter, and in fifty
years the city will depopulate itself.
This city makes too many demands
upon those who live and work in 1t.
Thousands drop out each month. 1t is
the fresh country people fiocking here
day by day that furnish the brains,
sinews and pluck to carry the metrop-
oils to its destiny. Its success in the
past has been due to this out-of-town
element and will continue to be-"
Men, men, men," is the constant
cry that New York sends out over the
country and the response is adequate
eager and satisfying. 1t is in this fact
that assurance of the city's still
greater advance lies. Capital flow-
ing in from the country made Wall
street a by-word to all the world
Material drawn from the coun-
try has made her the greatest man
ufacturing town in the United States.
Men attracted from the country
have made her financial mistress OF
the western hemisphere.

Money Spent Like Water.

The regulations Of the District of
Columbia to protect theatre patrons
against the danger of fire, are ex
tremely rigorous, and it was these
that the trust used as a weapon to
thwart Belasco i'm his endeavor to
have this last production first appear
in Washington as have other plays,
which are known as general successes.
The burden of expense for this work
did not fall upon the owners of Con
ventlon Hall, but upon Mr.. Belasco,
who paid, in order TO make this hall
into a modern fire-proof theatre, an
amount aggregating nearly $4,000.

Loosing the Dogs Of War.

But it is now war to the knife be-
tween the two forces, trust and anti
trust, thrust and ANTITRUST. Wheth-
er the trust will be successful and
absorb the Independents, remains to
be seen. Probably not, so long as it
has to deal with men who know their
actor proteges, know the method of the
trust, know how to produce play
with unsurpassed taste and know that
the American people will pay admis-
sion to witness an incompatible pro-
ductiOn all the more willingly because
of the herculean efforts made to pre-.

combination which he has organized
seems to have gotten his knife we'll in
between the ribs of his antagonist and
is beginning already to twist it vigor

tember, however, announcement was
made that he, in communion with the
Shubert Brothers, had acquired con-

theatre is built, giving them absolute
possession of the property.
