Valuable Deposit of Fire Clay.-A re-
organization of the Rockdale Powder Coin-
pany, whose plant is located in the 9Th dis
trict of this county will take place as soon as
the report of DR.. Edward B: Matthews, ass's-
tant eeolopist of MARYLAND, is made on the fire
CLAW deposits on the company's. properties.
The fire clay has been analysed by Prof. Men
ges, of Pennsylvania who pronouDces it to be
even better than the fire clay that is imported
from Germany. While digging for samples
of this clay valuable deposits of other minerals
were unearthed. They are said to contain
cold silver and copper valued to the extent of
800 per ton. The capital stock of the company
will probably be increased so that one OF the
largest brick plants of the United States can be
erected there.

Old Lyceum Theater in zone of Our Girls
AS the season was about to close he one
day spoke to Daniel Frohman about a trunk
full of plays that his father had left him,
and thought that one called Trade" would
be a success Mr.. Frohman changed the
name to THE Highest Bidder and pre-
sented Mr. Sothern at the Lyceum Theater
in the leading part in June. The play went
so well that the manager tried to secure for
the actor release from the road tour from
Miss Dauvray for the next season, but she
demanded $4,000. This Mr.. Frohman
would not pay, but Mr.. Sothern. against the
advice of his friends, paid it himself. Thus
he began the next season at the Lyceum
Theater under the management of Mr..
Frohman. 1t was time of anxiety both
to himself and his manager. The two men
used to stroll about and back to the theater
many times a day watching the box office
sale. The engagement, however, proved so
successful that Mr.. Sothern was at once
established as a prosperous star.
The trunk of plays was turned over
to Belasco and DeMille. and Lord Chum-
ley was the first result In this play Mr..
Sothern, who had been trained for an artist
and not for the stage by his father, began
to show his skill as a stage manager and
shaper of stage pictures He took the stage
management into his own hands and made
success of the leading part as well. In
this play Margaret Anglin and Maude
Adams made their first New York appear
ance. Several members of the present COM
pany have been with him since his first APP

Julia Mariowe was born in the quaint vii
lage of Caldbeck, Cumberland county, En-
gland, a neighborhood that furnished the
favorite haunts of Shelley. Wordsworth,
Southey and other poets of the Lake school.
In the same picturesque region was born
her eminent predecessor in the domain of
classic drama, beautiful Adelaide Nelson.
1t is as an American actress that Miss
Marlowe wishes to be regarded, for this is
the home of her adoption, the scene of her
greatest stage triumphs
In the village school at Caldbeck little
Miss Marlowe learned her first lessons Her
recollections of the beautiful countryside
are vivid. although she was but child of
four when her parents left England to en-
gage in farming in Kansas. Later the
family moved to Cincinnati. where her edu-
cation was continued In the public schools
When she was twelve years old the juvenile
"Pinafore'' craze swept over the country

Cor1INC ATTRACTIONS
New National Theater.

The joint tour of E. H. Sothern and
Julia Marlowe in a Shakespearean roper
toire, conceived and carried out by Chas
Frohman, is a distinguishing feature of the
current dramatic season. The Sothern-
Marlowe repertoire being limited to Much
Ado About Nothing" Hamlet and
Romeo and Juliet" these will be the plays
given during the engagement. Mr.. Sotherns
Hamlet is we'll known here, but his Romeo
and his Benedick are new. Mr.. Sothern's
Benedick is said to be fit companion piece
to his work in tragedy Miss Marlowe's
Juliet is said to have ripened since she
was seen here in the part some years ago.
Her Beatrice and her Ophelia are both re-
garded as of rejecting a finer and more
highly developed art. In Hamlet it is
Mr.. Sothern who dominates the perform
ance, while in Romeo and Juliet it is
Miss Marlowe. Perhaps their greatest joint
success is in Much Ado About Nothing"
production described as beautiful and salts
flying Among the company are to be
found William Harris, Mrs. Sol Smith, G.
Harrison Hunter, Roland Blackstone and
Norman Hackett Each play is mounted
with much scenic beauty, but with no over
elaboration. The schedule for the week
will be: Monday and Tuesday nights and
Wednesday matinee, Much Ado About
Nothing" Wednesday evening, Hamlet"
and Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights
and Saturday afternoon, Romeo and
Juliet" The best seats will cost sand
all the way down from So to so cents. Ow-
ing to the length OF the performance, the
curtain will rise at TAO evenings and at / As
on the matineeS.

Beethoven Concert.

The fourth concert of the season by the
Washington Symphony Orchestra, which
was originally scheduled for next month.
was given yesterday afternoon at the La
fayette Theater before pathetically small
audience of music lovers. The fifth and last
concert by the orchestra before its disband-
ment will occur next Friday afternoon at
half-past 4.
Yesterdays program consisted entirely of
the music of Beethoven, having been orig
inally arranged to constitute the third of
the educational series. The seventh, or So
called dance symphony, showing the master
in his lighter and more joyous moods, was
that played yesterday. The work of the
orchestra was appreciated to the full and
the applause was generous, especially after
the second movement, which rendered
with tenderness and feeling. But the Bee
thoven deyoteeS present were particularly
enthusiastic after the rendition of the third
of the Leonore overtures, which was mag
nihcently played, the evenness of attack and
beauty of shading being particularly notice
able The soloist of the afternoon was Mr..
Thomas Evans Greene, who sang the ballade
Adelaide. Mr. Evans voice is a tenor OF
pleasing tone and quality, and he was con-
strained to repeat part of his song in re-
Spouse to the continued applause.
AT the close of the concert circulars were
distributed which contained a statement by
the board of directors to the effect that the
attendance at all of the concerts this season
has been about 80 per cent less than at
those of last year, and that under such
conditions, particularly as some of the orig
inal subscribers have failed to make good
their subscriptions, it is hardly to be ex-
pected that the orchestra can enjoy a long
life and prosperity. The facts in the case
have been pretty generally known for some
time, but the official announcement preced-
ing disarmament was received with genuine
regret.

DAILY GREEK NEWSPAPER.
Addition to New York Publications in
Foreign Languages.

From the New York Evening Post.
One more picturesque detail has been
added to the cosmopolitan character of
New York by the fact that, beginning yes
terday, daily newspaper will be published
here In the Greek language. This paper the
Atlantis, the first newspaper published
in Greek in the United States, was founded
twelve years ago as weekly, and owing
to the rapid increase of the Greek popuIa-
ton in the United States to nearly hum
dred and fifty thousand, it has been neces-
sary to increase the number of issues from
weekly to semi-weekly tri-WeekIy and
daily.
But the Atlantis is much less of a rare
bird in New York journalism than one
might think. There is scarcely a European
people who do not publish here a neWspa-
per in their own language There is even
Japanese paper printed here the Japan

American territory a journalistic war with

Chase's Theater.

Chases will next week present the mono
logue comedian George Fuller Golden, who
enjoyed a run of sixty consecutive weeks
in London music hall. The program will
be rendered additionally attractive by the
appearance of Olive May and John w AL
baugh, jr., presenting THE Inspector from
Kansas. The great Ten Ichi and his
troupe of Japanese conjurers and magicians
are announced in illusions and TRANSFORMED
lions. Luigi Dell Orc, the accordion virtuo-
so, will be a feature of interest. Other at
fractions are the Jack Theo Trio, Helen

representations grouped together under the
title of Mrs. Hulla-ballou and a Friend or
Two, and Les Dahlias, i'll their sensational

Sunday Concert.

Tomorrow night the next to the last OF
the Sunday night popular concerts by the
Washington Symphony Orchestra, Reginald
de Koven, conductor, will take place at
Chase's. There has been no concert OF
this character for two weeks past, as the
Sunday nights, January Is and %, were
devoted to the symphony concerts at which
the great soloists d'Albert and Ysaye ap-
peared. 1t is unfortunate that lack OF
financial support makes it necessary to
bring the symphony season of the several
series of concerts to an early close. These
Sunday night popular events have been OF
a character and Of a price unheard of be-
fore in this country for an orchestra OF
casion deep and lasting regret among mu-
sic lovers, who have come TO look upon
the concerts as a permanent institution.
