fugitives from the local reform school, were
arraigned in the Police Court before Judge

best to have the case go to the grand jury,
as there were several cases Of robbery
against them, all OF serious nature. AZ
ter hearing the evidence, Judge Scott an
nounced that he would hold the boys for
the grand jury, and in view of the fact that
several cases were to be presented, the
bond was fixed at 5000. In default of
that bail the boys were committed to the
Jail.

be identified. 1t was said by the police this

sent to the grand jury already and they

IS stated. that the sinking of the vessel
was not caused by her mooring lines being
too short thus causing her to careen until
the water ran upon her deck and she filed
and sank. but by some vessel running into
her and punching a hole in her side. When
the driver was raised it was found that
she had big hole in her side and her
house broken in. The injury, II is
claimed, was never made by her sinking.

T + E T & E a T E R.
Columbia Theatar.

The performance OF Mrs. Danes De-
fense' at the Columbia served to complete
and verify the good impression made in it's
previous representations by the organiza-
ton now appearing there. The play is I'M
familiar to Washington, a somewhat re-
markable fact since 1t possesses qualities
which claim interest beyond those which
ordinarily attaches to the society play. 1t
Is, of course, familiar story of the woman
with past who finds her way into respec-
liability and is seized with the determine
ton to maintain her position at all hazards.
The fact that she has fallen in love with
q man few years younger than herself
adds zest to the complication. The SYM
pathy which is always inspired by a reso-
lutte defense of a lost cause is Mrs. Danes
Her character possibly permits of no apol-
ogy. but her desperate determination to
conceal her record and to defend herself
from the gossip conveys the same pathos
that surrounds an animal doubling on its
trail in a vain endeavor to preserve itself
from the ruthless enthusiasm of the chase
1t Is q striking social picture-a stirring
portrayal of the woman hunt. 1t is better
than the average problem play in that the
author does not leave the question he sug-
gests unanswered. He frankly commits
himself to the proposition that the decree
of society in such matters, harsh as it may
SEEM is not only irrevocabe but just.
Mr.. Guy standing and Mr.. Malcolm Dun
can portrayed Inc Two Characters tiidl gave
the performance it's strongest interest last
night. Mr.. Standing displayed that fine re-
pose which has distinguished his work and
Mr.. Duncan preserved the dignity that is SO
essential to the character of the adopted
son and yet which is so difficult to attain
in juvenile role. Miss Charlotte Walker,
the new leading lady, had the title role.
and made a decidedly favorable impression
this her first appearance with the stock
company. In several of her scenes she
displayed convincing dramatic power Mr..
Fuller MeliSh, clergyman, and Mr..
Geo. CASTOR, a brow-beaten husband,
We're both seen to advantage in character
parts.

WORK OF ART.
st. CeciHa's Academy Adds to It's Col
lection Of Statues.

saint Cecilfa's Academy, 9th and East
capitol streets, has lately added several
handsome statues to its art treasures, but
the new Saint Cecilia surpasses them all.
The statue Is the gift of Mrs. Anna
HOOKS. 1t Is life-size and of an original
design, executed by the De Prato Com
pany after a model given by the superior
of the academy.
The saint Is represented standing.
crowned with roses holding in one hand
the palm of martyrdom the other resting
on harp. At her back is model of her
invention, the organ, on which lies an
open volume with illuminated page.
The gentle but dignified pose the ex-
quisitely beautiful face, the graceful
flow of the drapery, the delicate coloring.
all combine to make this statue a worthy
reminder of Cecilia, the noble, pure and
courageous Roman maiden.

ton of the United States fish commission,
at the upper end of Chesapeake bay, near
Havre de Grace, Nd, closed a few days
ago, and Mr.. Wisner, the superintendent
in charge, has returned to the central sta
ton In this city. Like the results obtained
at the Bryan's point station the Poto-
mac, the number of eggs Matched was
much smaller than 1t has been for num-
Der of years, due to the great scarcity of
the fish from which the eggs are taken.
Altogether the shad Matching season on
