The Columbia Theate1

A pleasant feature Of the production OF
The Tyranny of Teara' by the Columbia
stock company last evening was the ex-
tremeiy cordial reception accorded Miss
Dorothy Hammond upon her temperance
among the players after q three weeks abb
sence due to illness. Her first appearance
on the stage last evening was made the
occasion Of such loud and long-continued
applause that the progress OF tina play was
interrupted. Nor would Miss Hammond's
friends and admirers be satisfied until Mr..
Standing led her to the footlights to re-
spond to the ovation. Many beautiful floral
tokens were handed to Miss Hammond
over the footlights after the applause had
died away.
The work Of the company last night was
or high order of excellence. Mr.. Stand
ing was at his best as Clement Parbury,
and he has done nothing during his en-
9aEement here this summer that is better
entitled to be called entirely sincere and
artistic. Mr.. Mason as Col. Armitage, the

UNExPEcTED RESTORATION.
Mrs. II. J. Howell Lapsed into Uncon-
seriousness and Was Declared Dead.

After q physician had stated that she had
but several moments to live Mr.. Hercules
J. Howell. colored. OF 1871 18th street north
west. closed her eyes and to all appearances
was dead Saturday evening. Her death was
announced, which caused manifestations OF
sorrow among her friends, hut Sunday
morning. when they saw her enter the
Union Wesley African n. =. Church. on
sd and L streets. and walk down the aisle
to seat in her pew there was no little bit
Of CONSERVATION.
The story passed from lip to lip. and
shortly after Mrs. Howelrs entry several
OF the congregation left the edifice, and
before much time had elapsed the greater
part of the colored population in the vicin-
fty of Dupont Circle was aware that some
thing in the nature OF a resurrection had
occurred at the Howell home. The strange
part of the affair was that Mrs. Howell
had been unable to go to church, or, In fact,
leave the house dor months past. and her
sudden appearance among the Worshlpers
where she had once been prominent was
more than the members Of the church were
able to understand.
The story told by the wofnan's husband
is that after his wife had seemingly died
she came to life in about three hours and
declared she had had vision In which II
was made clear to her that ner supposeo
death was the work of the evil spirit. Sne
also told him that a voice declared to her
that she should not be trampled upon and
that because OF her good works she would
be restored to life. Mrs. Howell also de.
clares that the voice told her to arise ana
20 to church. Later in the morning she got
up out of bed and moved about the moor,
something she had been unable to 90 m
months "A carriage was procured for nef
and she rode to church. and after Visitlnk
a relative did not return to her home until
8 o'clock in the evening. Throughout yes
terday she seemed to be able 20 go apout
comfortably, but shortly before o CLOCK
she lapsed into Inconsistencies. Later she
recovered and today 1t was stated by MEM
Der of her family that she was resting wen.
though at times she complains OF feelng
tired. =.
Mrs. Howell is anicted with cancer, 1t
was stated, and little relief can be given
her. She had always been energetic unsi
about three years ago when she became ~.
Since that time she has been under the care
of several local physicians. Last summer
she was sent to the mountains OF Pennsyi-
yania but the change did her no gooo.

Flames sprang from three places and 1t was
due alone to the prompt work OF the IRE
men that a disastrous conhaeration was
averted. The colored boy was standing
near the box when the fremen reached the
scene and he wassalso there when Mounted
Policeman Henry verr OF the tenth pre-
cinct arrived. Policeman verr was on his
way from the police station to his beat and
he followed the fire companies to the store
of Mr.. Clements. Upon reaching the alarm
box he saw the colored boy leaning against
the post.
