Academy of Music.

Barney Gilmore, the Irish comedian, ap-
peared at the Academy of Music last night
in "A Roc.y Road to Dublin" The drama
Is in three acts and the scenes are laid in
Ireland. During the course of the play
Mr.. Gilmore sang several of his favorite
Irish ballads, which were heartily en-
cored, and he also gave an Irish dance,
with bagpipe as an accompaniment.
The plot is not sensational and the ell
makes unusually quiet and impressive.
Mr.. Frank Lavarine. as William Master
son, a typical western mine owner from
the states, who has known what it Is to
rough 1t, did a piece of~character work
which pleased the audience. The occasion
of his visit to Ireland was his endeavor
to repay an old debt by his partner out
west who has passed away, and in his
place is found his son, ROBBERY Daley, por-
trayed by Mr.. Gilmore.

Columbia Theater,

The performance of Mile. Modiste'' at the
Columbia Theater last night revealed FRITZ
Scheff in another OF the piquant roles In
which she so brilliantly cxcels Miss Schef
harks back to cherished traditions in intro
ducing genuine singing into comic opera
Her vocalization Is as pure and spontaneous
as ever and her personal charms. indefinable
yet complete, still fresh and alluring to
the eye. The music by Victor Herbert gives
every instrument Of an enlarged orchestra
an abundance of congenial occupation.
While the ear may not find great deal IN
II that the memory unconsciously grasps, Ii
Is full of fine effects and of little melodic
turns of daintily jestful significance. Mr..
Blossoms book Is a very straightforward
bit of work, dealing with the resentment OF
stern father whose son has fallen in love
with a woman whom he considers his social
inferior and his complete conversion by
series of pretty feminine diplomacies. There
Is perhaps no reason why Miss Scher
should be burdened with any of the cares
of exploration into the uncertain jungles
of originality. She frisks so securely and
charmingly along the beaten highways OF
plot that the most weather-beaten landmark
seems to brighten up and beam with pic
turesQue interest. The company includes
other very clever people. Leo Mars gave
delightful rendition of a role which to-
ward the close of the performance was
merged into regrettable ohscurity. Mr..
Claude Gillingwater played the part of an
American millionaire with good. legitimate
effect. William Pruette played the grun
parent with excellent results, and Miss Ber-
tina Holly put unlimited emphasis into the
part of the crudely extravagant woman
from the states, bent on presenting Paris
with her husbands money. Miss Holly has

the allusion to Oyster Bay contained in one

occasion took on almost the proportions OF

Lafayette Square Opera House

me Errand Boy" hilariously imperson-
ated by Billy Van of Patsy Bolivar fame
In the days before the variety show gave
way TO refined vaudeville, is in town this
week, with headquarters on the stage Of
the Lafayette Square Opera House. The
features or the entertainment are the en-
Tire absence of a plot and the surprising
youthfulness of the chorus. It's members,
however are as clever as they are young.
Musical numbers predominant. and while
many OF the selections are old friends,
tried and true, they were greeted with a
cordially that warranted numerous en-
cores. Billy Van. of course, is in evidence
most OF the time. and he pleased with sew
eral comic ditties. The show is crowded
with specialties aside from the musical
features.

Admirers of William H. Crane once more
have the opportunity Of beholding that pop

to him alone has been intrusted practically
the entire responsibility for the success of
the piece. In his representation Of John

which has previously characterized his deli

but witty, citizen of the United States
Though not so pretentious as some of his
former parts, Mr.. Crane evidences his GUS
tomary careful appreciation Of its comedy
and artistic demands. At no time during
the action of the piece was the audience
stirred to boisterous enthusiasm, yet the
performance was wholesome and entertain

Warded by numerous curtain calls

D. Foster and Harry Linton. Following the
election of officers the association listened
to an appeal for assistance made by Mrs.
John Milton Gitterman, president OF the
Public Education Association. Her re-
marks were addressed chiefly to the ques-
ton of compulsory education for children
under fourteen years old and upon the
| matter of prohibiting child labor. Mrs. Gilt
terman said 1t was shameful that so large
a proportion of half-grown people in this
city cannot read or write. Servants, she
said, are unable TO write their names, ana
boys on delivery wagons are unable to take
orders. People who are unable to write and
read, she stated, are to be seen on every
side, and, she repeated, 1t is shameful that
the proportion of such persons is SO great

to attend school, Children should certainly
attend school until they attain the age of
fourteen years. If they do not attend school
they pushed out into the industrial
world and their brains are not strong
enough to cope with the conditions they
meet"
Mrs. Gitterman called attention to a me-
mortal Of the Public Education Association
which was presented to the Senate at the
last session of Congress by Senator CALM
ger and ordered printed. She called special
attention to that part of the memorial deal
ing with the question of compulsory educa-
ton.
Mrs Gitterman devoted short time to
the question of child labor.

set for discussion at the next regular meet
ing of the association. Mr.. SowerbuttS pre-
scented a resolution favoring government
ownership of public utilities and the asso-
citation will discuss the question next month.

SNOW AND fdE fuNH.
Comment Of Superintendent stidhani
on System in Operation In District.

Caustic comment WAS made yester-
day by superintendent Stidham of the
street cleaning department in submitting his
annual estimates to the Commissioners In
District for caring for snow and ice on
the streets In winter. First, he asked for
an appropriation Of $4,000 for doing this
work during the winter OF 19O6-O7. instead
or 0,tO0. the amount allowed by Congress
for the ensuing season, and then in giving
his reasons for the increase, he said:
The custom Of granting additional sums
after the snow Is actually seen to be on
over appropriation becomes available the
succeeding winter and Is not turned back
INTO the treasury. 1t Is productive OF no
saving and Is hardly conducive to the re-
and cutters for which these modest OPP
preparations are intended. Snow storms
sometimes come at night, on Sundays, or
even In the short recess Of Congress. A
railway might as well let its trains run of
the track before giving to it's general
manager funds for use in removing wrecks.
In snow work speed in attacking is half CT
the battle.
"Our experience of the past winter twhen
we spent nearly as much on snow md ice
work as for the entire five preceding)
showed the desirability of change in the
wording of the act above referred to. No
matter how high the ice or banks of snow
were piled-in some cases constituting an
actual danger to traffic-we were not per-
mitted by the limitations OF the act to cart
the obstruction to the nearest sewer man.
hole for dumping therein. That this lin
itation is not generally understood by Con-
gress was apparent in the requests re-
ceived from members of the lower and up
per houses to clean space In front of
their residences SO that carriages might
be driven up to the sidewalk If In emer-
gencies land only then an order from the
Commissioners) a portion of the snow and
ice fund could be used. where necessary.
in removing obstructing heaps from the
street altogether, it would mean much to
