IA Dolls House. !"

Miss Charlotte Walker will make her
first appearance at the Belasco Theater
next Monday night as the star Of the
stock company at that theater, appearing
first In 1bsens celebrated play, "A Dolls
House." In this play, which has attained
international vogue and has created a ire
mendous discussion whenever presented,
Miss Walker will have the greatest OPP
portun1ty yet given this spring in Wash
1ngton. Hitherto she has been seen in
roles of lesser Importance than her popu-
larity and talents deserved, and her ad-
mlrers will, therefore, be glad to know
that during her stay at the Belasco
Theater she will be seen in several great
roles The part Of Nora in "a Dolls
House has been played by many great
artists, including Ethel Barrymore, Mrs.
Flske and Madame Nazimova, the Russian
actress. who created such a stir in New
York last season.
Nazimova played "A Dolls House" for
over four months to crowded houses and
gave a great performance Miss Walker
will be seen in this role Of the young wife
who Is treated like doll by her husband
until at last she awakens to q sense of
the wrong done her by the husband not
treating her as an equal. In the first act
the role offers Miss Walker splendid op-
portuntties Of light comedy nature, and
she will be especially at home in this scene
Later on, as the development of the plot
becomes strong, Miss Walker will be called
upon to do stronger emotional work. In
the second act she dances a Spanish dance
Miss Walker will be supported by many of
the principal players who have been seen
at the Belasco this spring and summer, in
GLIDING Edward Ellis. The usual summer
scale Of prices will prevail, with matinees
Wednesday and Saturday. Seats are now
on sale.
Edwin Arden will say farewell to the
patrons Of the Belasco Theater Saturday
night Of this week, when he will appear
for the last time in Captain Swift" the

for Mr.. Arden's last night has already
been very great, and the indications are

Airship at Luna Park.

The original, the only, the omnipotent
Lincoln Beachey will close his season at
Luna Park Friday evening. His stay has
been productive OF many astounding as
tensions, and, Judging from his demonstra-
lions here, it Is evident that he Is thor
ough master Of the art Of handling his
sky pilot with absolute safety to himself
and his buoyant apparatus. The weather
man promises clear weather for the next
few days. which will enable Beachey to
continue his fascinating flights in and
about the park.
Problems that the aeronaut has to con-
tend with are more complicated than the
public would imagine. The perfect adjust
ment of the propeling machinery Is the
one part Of a ship on which an operator
keeps an ever watchful eye. Then the
form of the gas bag, extent, texture and
construction Of sustaining surfaces. Is an
other item of Importance. Then there Is
the sustaining of medium, maintenance of
equipoise method of getting under way,
the art of steering in the air and, last but
not least, the most delicate and dangerous
performance of all, that of alighting safely
The last is generally overlooked by most
aeronauts until 1t is too late, and is the d.
rect cause Of many fatal accidents, which.
with little generalship, in many cases
could be avoided. Comparatively little is
known about this wonderful and much
abused invention, and no one should miss
the opportunity or seeing the practical
demonstrations and hear the mind broa dem
ing lectures that are given in connection
with this sensational amusement at the
park.
Conways Ithaca Band, with Patrick Con-
way at the helm Is pleasing the park s.
music devotees with music of every va
rety. Mrs. F. B. Atwater, the talented
soprano, still holds a prominent position
with the band, and the ODE and English
horn work of Eugene Devaux is worthy of
special praise. John Dolan, Ross Mill
house and Harry Brissett are responsible
for the excellent cornet work the band has
to offer, while the more important reed in
struments, the clarinets. are capably
cared for by Messrs. Stengler and Brissett
William Pfaunkchen, conceded to be one
of the foremost bassoon players in Amer
lea, serves an establishment when his
valuable aid is brought into prominence
while rendering certain Of the bands tune
full selections.
The most unlooked-for thing about the
famous Ithaca Band Is waits between the
numbers. If there are any, they are of
such short duration that Conductor Con-
way Is scarcely seated before 1t occurs
to him that it is time to unload another
invoice of melody. The bands season will
continue until the Goth. which will enable
all who enjoy good music to hear a band
the equal of any musical organization In
the country.

THE THEAT E R.
"The Beggar Student"

charming romance, and yet it's general
tone Is purely satircal taking as butt
for its ridicule the snobbery and false pride
OF certain phases of society.
Among the familiar faces of the AbOrn

next week are Robert Lett, who returns

where EARLY WAS DELAYED
MONUMENT TO THE VALOR OF
VILLAGES TROOPS UNVEILED.
Memorial Raised on the Monocacy
Battlefield Where a Fierce Fight
Occurred July 8, 1854.

A monument was unveiled on the Monocacy
battlefield. near Frederick Md. yesterday
as memorial to the 14th New Jersey Regi-
me1t of volunteers who participated in the
stout resistance offered by the troops under
Gen. Lew Wallace, which resulted in the
delay of the Confederate troops in their
march on Washington. SO that Federal
troops were enabled to reach the capital
and take part in its defense July 8, 1864.
This was one of the. historic battles of the
civil war, though the Importance has not
been given to it that it deserves. The
story of the fight was briefly told yesterday
to about thousand persons, who witnessed
the ceremonies, by N H. John C. Patterson,
president of the monument commission.
Maj. Patterson said:
Story of the Fight.
''On the night of July g. 1864, we pro-
ceeded by weary night march to City
Point on the James river. Here we were
placed on Transports and as fast steam
could carry reached Baltimore. where
we took for Monocacy and came here.
"On this ground we became part of the
little army of Gen. Lew Wallace, 500
strong, with one battery CAlexanders3 Of
guns. and two three odd pieces besides.
We formed on the skirmish and in the sin
gle lines of battle.
Our orders were to stop the advance Of
Gen. Early with his picked body of men,
commanded by such able officers Brock
enridge, Rhodes, Ramsner Wharton. Evans,
Rosser, johnson and Gordon.
I'VE were greatly outnunbered, yet we
took position against an army known
to be 1900 to 25,OOO strong. with forty
pieces of artillery. Weak in numbers. We
were reinforced with the thought that the
hour for the destruction of our national
capital was at hand.
Here on these fields in the face of such
great odds, the brave men of Gen. Wallace
army fought with courage and resistance
rarely paraleled in the annals of war.
From o'clock in the morning, with the
thermometer in the nineties, We fought
them until o'clock of that July day
AT that hour Gen. Wallace ordered us to
retire from the field, but before we went we
had accomplished the purpose for which the
brave men from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Vermont, New York and New Jersey
had been sacrificed We had delayed Gen.
Early in his march to Washington one day.
How much this one day allowed to be done
history will tell YOU
1t will be remembered that the 9th Corps
arrived in Washington just as Early's
forces approached the city on the north,
where they were opposed by a slender force
Of home guards hastily gathered at Fort
Stevens.
