Members go home tired and will not re turn There is always a bare quorum of one, and the laws enacted at such sessions is not the voice of the Legislature in fact"

The New Academy.

Tomorrow morning the sale of seats will
begin at the newly built Academy of Music.
the interior of which has been completely
re-erected from the pit to the last row Of
the gallery. glance into the new play
house is a genuine treat, for where once

touches. While doubt has been expressed
on all sides as to the possibility Of opening,
Contractor Prescott smiled broadly yester-
day as he remarked: Everything will be
more than ready when the doors open next
Monday night"
For the first week of the new play house
the attraction will be A. H. Woods thrill
ing melodrama. "Since Nellie Went Away"
In the four acts and twelve scenes making
up the drama the author. Mr.. Owen Davis,
shows the sharp contrasts in the lives OF
the rich and poor. Nellie, the heroine, is
naturally the pivot on which the interest
turns. She is beloved by Roy Thatcher.
son of one of New York's money kings.
The schemes Of Eva Dean, a wealthy New
her confederate. Ashley James, to separate
the lovers and accomplish Nellie's ruin
are graphically told in passages thrilling
with heart interest Besides the stirring
love scenes. the sprightly dialogue and the
bright comedy interiudes, there are num-
Der of purely mechanical effects showing
some of the points Of interest in New York
city. The reproductions Of the home of
Roy's father on the Riverside Drive, with

are the reproductions of the life-saving

National Theater a BUSY Place.

Despite the fact that the auditorium Of
the New National Theater is closed to the
public this week the interior Of the popular
playhouse presents any other than de-
serted appearance. Dozens of workmen are
busily engaged on the stage making elab-
crate changes in the lofts and galleries
where the big productions are handled. The
fact that such mammoth attractions as ben
Hur," THE Prince of India and other
Klaw & Erlanger offerings are booked for
an early appe arance at this theater made
1t necessary for many changes. Consider
able trouble was experienced last season in
giving Mansfelds Peer Gynt' successful
presentation owing to an insuficiency in
the number Of ropes and lofts necessary to
handling the big ship scene and the numer-
Gus stage illusions in that production. Fur
ther identifying of the auditorium, the pro-
vision of new ladies' retiring parlor and
other changes have transformed the interior
OF the big playhouse from a place OF dark
ness to quite a busy workshop. The man
agement announces that provision has been
made at the theater box office for serving
the Aborn Opera Company souvenir books
to those unable to secure copies last Satur-
day night when the supply was completely
exhausted. They can be secured at several
department stores and at Brentanos.

THE THEAT E R.
Chase's.

Chase's holiday ensemble Of attractive
diversions for next week, commencing with
Labor day matinee next Monday, will be
rendered noteworthy by Joseph Harris big
pantomime company in Polly Pickles Pets
in Petland,' Frank Fogerty, the Lasky-
Rolfe Quintet, c. Grant Gardner and Marie
Stoddard, Mareena, Nevaro and Mareena,
Redford and Winchester, Harry Jolson
and the merry motion pictures of THE
White Mans First Smoke" Labor day Is
a popular holiday in this city, and there
fore Chase's strives to secure for that week
the jolliest program possible, and 1t is
promised that the assemblage of novelties
for next week will prove as popular as any
bill of the past. Polly Pickles Pets in
Petland'' is musical extravaganza that is
said to be quite the largest and most spec
tacular production ever given at Chase's.
There are pretty girls In plenty, and topical
songs and lively dances are the rule. Frank
Fogerty Is an importation from Erin's Isle,
where he rejoces in the name Of THE Dub
lin Minstrel" His offering will be very
unique. The Lasky-Rolfe Quintet ranks as
including the most gifted Observation-Disclosures
in vaudeville. Mr.. Gardner and Miss Stod
dard will include in their melange the
funny characterization called Summertime
Susie" The other features comprise as
acrobatics, jolly Juggling and hui
NOR of many kinds. Chase's never increases
prices at holiday matinees. and the ad-
vance seat sale is fast disposing of the &C
commodations.

Glen Echo

Glen Echo Park has been enjoying an un-
usual amount Of patronage during the past
week in spite Of the first touch of autumn
Picnic parties have been the order of the
day, and by night amusement-seekers In
general have taken the cars for Glen Echo
Park. In this connection it has been OBJ
served that the carrier accommodations Of
the park are the most satisfactory that
have been thus far had. Cars marked
Glen Echo run direct from the center Of
the city to the park without change, and
on the return journey start from the main
entrance Of the park, thus obviating all
crowding Of passengers.
Local automobiles are again taking to
the Conduit road Of evenings accustoming
themselves to the speed regulations. The
park management has provided well-laid-
out space for the keeping Of the autos
which is being availed of more and more
every evening.
Many interesting suggestions have been
made by the park patrons of name for
What Is 1t?" This is the mysterious con-
traption for which prize of 500 has been
offered for an original name The contest
will close in about a months time, when
a commission of prominent citizens will sit
in judgment upon the titles suggested.

HUNTERS GETTING BUSY.
Opening of the Season on the Potomac
Next Monday,

The hunting season on the Potomac will
open in few days, and all over the city
hunters are taking down their guns and are
cleaning and oiling them in preparation for
the sport. At the local lighthouses the own
ers are employed in overhauling and plac-
Ing in order for service the ducking skiffs
in preparation for a big demand for the
boats when the hunters start out in the
marshes next Sunday night in order to get
a shot at the birds early Monday morning
The outlook for the sport is said to be ex
cellent. the marshes are full of wild oats
and other grasses on which the birds feed
varieties have been seen flying in and
out of the grain for several days past.
In consequence of the vigilance of the har-
Dor police. who have been patrolllng the
marshes for the past week in small boats,
it is believed that there has not been
hunter out SO far this season. and when the
season opens the birds will not be found so
scary from being hunted that 1t will be diff
ficult to get within gunshot Of them. hTe
limits in which hunting is allowed under
the District laws is now well known to the
majority of the sportSmen, and the police
are anticipating but little trouble in en-
forcing the regulations. A detail from the
harbor precinct in the power launch Major
Sylvester will cruise over the hunting
grounds during the opening days Of the sea-
son to see that there Is no shooting of the
birds INDUCED in outside the prescribed
limits. -.t-..
