HEAVY STORM ON RIVER.
Vessels Were Blown From Moorings
and Low Tide Prevailed

Reports Of steamer and vessel masters
who were out in the heavy northwest blow
on the river yesterday state that the storm
was very heavy. although no serious acct
dents are reported. A large houseboat be-
longing to Alexandria parties, which was
lying at anchor off Jones point lighthouse,
was blown from it's mornings across the
river and landed high up on the flats on
the Maryland side of the river near Fort
Foote, where the low water left it. 1t will
be floated at high water today without diff
Guilty, and Is reported not to be damaged.
Two pleasure boats, one a launch and the
other a sailing craft, which are owned by
the Messrs. Adams of Fort Washington,
were blown from their anchorage in the
mouth of Swami creek, some distance up
the creek, and We're left high and dry on
the shore. In the harbor here several of
the smaller pleasure craft, which lie off the
foot of 10th street when not In service,
dragged their anchors for some distance,
but were caught and no damage was done.
The heavy northwest winds caused an
unusually low tide in the river, the mud
flats between this city and Alexandria and
about the railway bridges being exposed by
the falling of the water. The tides today
have, however, returned to their usual
height,

At the regular meeting OF COL Theodore
Roosevelt Garrison, No. "a, Army and
Navy Union, which was held last night al
their hail. 80 Pennsylvania avenue north
west, with Commander J. J. Gordon in the
chair. the members showed an interest
which has never been seen in that garrison
before. The garrison has organized itself
as recruiting committee Of one to swell
the ranks of that garrison.
Commander Gordon said that Roosevelt
Garrison was the largest white garrison In
the District, but he was not satisfied with
that; he wanted to make 1t the largest In
the United States. In conclusion, he SAID
the key to success in any organization is
harmony, and that there Is nothing but
harmony in Roosevelt Garrison.
There is movement on foot to give an
entertainment, which will be in the form of
a first-class vaudeville show. Commander
Gordon has the matter under Amusement.
Where the entertainment will be given has
not been definitely determined.

Columbia Theater.

The new musical comedy His Honor,
the Mayor which halls from the west,
proved source of genuine enjoyment for
the audience at the Columbia Theater last
evening. AS an entertainment device this
piece ranks in many respects with the best
musical plays presented here this season.
PerhaS the fact that it's coming was an
nounced with less extravagant claims than
those made for a majority of similar at
fractions made its merits the more con-
spicuous. c. e. Campbell and r. NJ. Skin
ner wrote the book and Julian Edwards
and Alfred E. Aarons provided the music.
There is a large and well-balanced cast OF
principals, who given opportunity for
individual work. a chorus OF comedy young
women who sing well, and pony ballet
that danced its way into unusual favor
with the audience sufficient abundance
of clever lines and amusing situations have
been provided for the comedians, but the
music is especially notable because of Its
tuneful qualities. The humorous adven-
lures of Il number of Americans in Paris
and Buda Pest, and the complications en-
suing from the mixed love affairs of the
mayor of Kankakee, who has q strongly
developed propensity for making love to
all the pretty women he meets, afford a
basis for the story of the piece. j. Clar-
ence Harvey plays the role of the youthful
mayor, and his physical nimbleness and
crisp comedy methods were effective. The
dancing of the pony ballet was the distinc-
tive feature of the performance and the
eight young women were applauded so
literally that they were almost exhausted
responding to encores. Arthur Earnest
former Washingtonian, who started his
stage career with a local organization, was
seen as Jack Thayer, and acquitted him
self with credit as a vocalist and as an
actor. His principal song was accorded
numerous encores. Genevieve Finlay, as
Katrinka; Mabel Hollins, as Daisy, and
Lora Lieb, as Majorie Wayne, were a trio
of young women who possess personal at
Effectiveness and won much favor in their
respective songs. George Schiller, w. w.
Black and +. Van Rensselaer, contributed
largely to the amusement of the piece In
character roles.

SWALLOWS cARBoLIc ACID.


Suicide Because Of Love Affair.
Harry Cecil. local baker, committed
suicide yesterday by swallowing dose Of
earbolic acid According to statements
made by his friends his love AFFAIRS gave
him q great amount Of trouble ana Sunday
night or early yesterday morning be took
the dose OF poison. His body was found in
his room at e33 4th street northeast late
yesterday afternoon by Ira Phillips, his
roommate. when he returned home from
work.
On the dresser In the room was bottle
upon which there was . carbolic acid label.
and this explained the cause Of death.
The police were advised OF the finding OF
the body and 1t required but few minutes
OF investigation By the coroner to reach the
conclusion that *sacn had committed sui
eide. 1t Is stated chat he made similar at
tempts on three other occasions. Last week
friends Of the young man noticed that he
appeared Respondent and resigned his posi-
ton in a local bakery.
So far as the police are advised Cecil had
templated taking his life. and they were

Belasco Theater.

Julie Bonbon" is frivolous sort of a
name for play as good as that presented
at the Belasco Theater last night by Clara
Lipman and Louis Mann. The fact that
Mrs. Mann-that Is to say, Clara Lipman-
wrote the play, makes the hit even more of
a family affair
Miss Lipman as Julie Bonbon of Bre-
tagne, milliner by appointment to the five
hundred and fifty, is as pretty as ever
which Is generous praise-and handled an
assortment of piquantly shattered English
phrases In charming fashion. Her work
moreover. was delightfully."- consistent
throughout the production, most amusing in
the lighter scenes and sincere in the emo
uonal passages. These latter take the play
way out of the farce class and make It
something more than usually worth while
The character eff Jean Poujol should add
something to Mr.. Mann's already great rem
utation as character actor. With less
careful handling. Jean Poujol a Dragging
drunken, sodden, good-for-nothing French
man, would border on the repulsiye But
in Mr.. Mdnns hands the comedy element
predominates and the unpleasant features
OF Poujols personal habits and moral stand
ards are subordinated just enough to bal
ance the scale. But Mr.. Mann's work is so
exceptionally excellent that throughout the
play, even in the comedy scenes there Is
an undercurrent of pathos while the gro
tesque old wreck Is on the stage that brings
tears to the eyes even while laughter lin
gers on the lips.
The play is adequately staged. and the
interest Is well sustained. The principal
scenic feature Is the interior of the cafe
Little Hungary" where Bohemianism
holds sway, and where Julie light
with wine and Jealousy. does some rather
indiscreet things and comes within an ace
of losing the man she loves.
The supporting company is an excellent
one. Alice Gale as Mrs. Van Brunt, James
Durkin as John Van Brunt. Maggie Fielding
as Mrs. Laverty and Percy Bolton as n mes
senger boy, do especially good work To-
morrow a matinee performance of two acts
OF Julie Bonben by Miss Lipman, Mr. Mann
and company. and a supplementary pro-
gram, will be given at the Belasco for the
benefit of The San Francisco sufferers.
