New National,

Sam Bernard came to town last night
and beamed upon a large audience at
the New National Theater in 1.-The Rich
Mr.. Hosgenheimer." playing a twenty
years-after" Interpretation Of his familiar
role Of the same Piggy who aroused
many a laugh in The Girl From Kay's."
The entertainment Is called a musical
farce, which describes it we'll. Harry B.
Smith did the words Of 1t and Ludwig
Highlander made the music. Upon Mr..
Bernard falls the greater weight Of en-
PERTAINING. Apart from the songs and
dances he is the whole show, and he
shoulders the responsibility cheerfully,
his eccentric dialect and grotesque ex-
pressions being sure of a laugh every
time he tries for one, and his lines are
usually good enough to help him to the
desired result. As piggy Hoggenheim-
er. grown richer and somewhat wiser.
though still susceptible to feminine
charms and an easy victim to the deceit
of certain womenkind. he goes from Lon
don to America to save, his son from a
marriage with milliner's assistant. He
tries to buy of the girl. who is a prodigy
of virtue. but May" says she, take
back your gold for gold can never buy
me- and a chord in the audience is just
beginning to vibrate in involuntary re-
Spouse to melodrama, when Piggy" Gre
ates another laugh, and virtue is re-
warded before the curtain falls. The in
trusion Of the plot. however, interfered
little with the progress of the entertain
ment, for it provided a chance for Pig
gy's" jokes. gave him a chance to pose
as a cab driver and q waiter and fur
nshed cues for the songs, which vert
frequent in the second and third acts and
were encored enthusiastically by the large
audience. Marion Carson. who played the
part Of the girl to whom money was
dross, was suffering from hoarseness, but
in spite of that sang one of the hits Of
the evening In the first act Neva Aymer,
who played a designing American show
girl, led a chorus in a taking song of the
Salvation lassie" type. The production Is
lavishly staged and costumed, and there
are plenty of pretty girls to help deco
rate the scene.

The occupants of the vehicle were
thrown from their seats. but neither sus-
tanned serious injury. One wheel of the
carriage was broken and it was neces-
sary to summon another carriage for Mr..
Day and his friend.

a street car at the intersection of 14th

Norman Lewis. failed to keep his vehicle
out Of the way of a street car when he
made a turn at the corner of 4th and

vehicle came together with force sufficien,
to throw Lewis to the street. and injure
him. He was taken to the Homeopathic
Hospital and given treatment. He was

DEAD IN ROOM.
Door Forced and Body Of Samuel p
s. Hutson Found on Floor.

Samuel p. 8. Hutson. seventy years Of
age. formerly a clerk in the pension ONCE.
was found dead in his room at 500 18th
street this morning about 0 o'clock. 1t is
believed death was due to BriRht's dis
ease. The deceased. who was a native OF
Allegheny county. Nd, was employed as
Clerk in the Treasury Department for
several years. severing his connection
with that office about a year ago. Since
then he has resided at the 18th street
house.
Mr.. Hutson was treated for Bright
disease, although there had been no ply
stefan attending him recently. Other oc-
cupants of the house had not seen him
since yesterday morning and they called
upon the police today to open his room.
When the door was forced by Policeman
Mcdonald he found the body on the floor,
the conditions indicatin that he had been
dead q number of hours,
1t is believed that Mr.. Hutson arose to
go to the window when he suffered from
the effects of the disease and sat upon q
rocker, and then fell from the chair, 1t
being overturned.
A son of the deceased resides at Somer-
set. Pa, and a nephew, Fenton Walters
at Langdon. Both were notified OF the
death. Coroner hewitt viewed the body
this afternoon and gave a certificate OF
death from natural causes.

THE THEAT R.
Belasco.

Says the program: Mr.. Hackett pre-
sents E. NJ. Holland in George Middle
tons dramatization of Meredith Nichol-
sons celebrated story, The House Of a
Thousand Candles (by special arrange
ment with the Bobbs- Merrill Company"
The name E. NJ Holland appears in very
large type. II the distinction is intended
to suggest that this veteran actors pres
ence in the work lends the only serious
dignity it can boast, it is justly made If 1t
is meant to place the burden of response
bility for the production on the shoulders
Of q competent and experienced player 1t
Is to be resented. Mr.. Hackett as the
producer has done his work faithfully SO
far as providing scenery and cast are con-
cerned The company includes list OF
players that would seem we'll adapted to
the work in hand. but which develops sad
insuf1ciencies in performances where
most was to be expected. The work of
Mr.. Holland is we'll measured and as pow
erful as the limitations of the role will
permit Stephen Grattan Is youthful and
animated as the hero: William Hazeltine
Is a polished villain OF the most approved
type and Fred A. Sullivan Is picturesquely
fierce as the tool to whom falls the dirty
work. including the task of voicing a
deep-chested, defiant "Ha! ha! ha!' at
regular intervals. E. II. Calvert was a
genial young Irish gentleman, to whose
share fell some genuinely witty lines.
AS dramatizer. George II. Middleton is
not familiar. But he has evidently stud
led his work carefully, for it shows a
knowledge Of some of the Oldest rules of
melodrama and a disposition to follow
them faithfully.
Meredith Nicholson, the author. used to
write melodious and well-behaved poetry.
poetry which never once suggested the
seething possibilities betrayed by this
composition. Here is no dextrous dali
lance with phrases. 1t is all plot, plot
that fairly Eliminates. There is some
thing fine in Mr.. Hollands composure
amid all the disturbance. 1t is like Ajax
defying the lightning.
In an effort to locate the real RESPONSE
bility for the occurrence suspicion points
most strongly to the name that appears
in small type and then seeks further ref
uge in parentheses. The Bobbs-M Merrill
publishing firm stands in the background.
like a deep-dyed conspirator, bound to
boom possible "best seller" (did some
impolite person say worst smeller"?) at
all hazards and urging everybody to do
mis- worst. Exposed as it was last night,
without the assistance and protection Of
literary style, the work was merely an
exhibition Of crude sensationalism.

WANTS RECORD CLEARED.
Police Private Makes Request OF
Commissioners.

Private Michael Donnelley of the first
police precinct, who distinguished himself
by bravery during the Boxer war in Chi
ma while serving in the United States Ma
rine Corps, and who has been on the local
bolice force three years, was given a
hearing before the board Of Commission
ers today with the view Of having them
recommend that charges against him. OF
which he has been found guilty by the
police trial board, be dismissed. Donnel-
lev was charged with falling to turn In
to the station house the morning of No
yember last over the police signal sys-
tenn He professed his innocence OF the
charge and declared that he did turn in,
and furnished two witnesses who saw him
going in the direction Of the signal box
at the time he should have turned In
There was no record Of his having
turned in on the books at the first pre-
cinct station house. and the trial board
judged him guilty and recommended that
he pay a fine of $40 as punishment.
Through his attorney. Charles +. Bend
helm, Donnefley told the Commissioners
that he appealed the case not to get out
of paying the fine. but to keep his record
termed it,. Mr.. Bendheim said that it is
evident that Donnelley is a good police
man from the fact that he was promoted
last week from class to class 2. In spite
of the charge against him. He also said
that the signal box in question. which Is
at 14th. and H streets. is frequently out of
order, and suggested that II might have
been out of working order the night in
question. In conclusion, he said his client
denies the charge.
The Commissioners said they would an
nounce their decision in a few days.

Columbia.

Now that Mrs. Wigs has become a
perennial attraction it has taken on the
charm of memory and association. Judg.
ing from the reception Of the play at the
Columbia Theater last evening its whole
some human and rapidly shifting pathos
make a wide appeal. Those who had seen
the play and had enjoyed the books from
which the play came, and those infre.
quent beings to whom the genial wisdom
of the cabbage patch philosopher was en-
tirely new. were not to be distinguished
by the manner of their approval There
is freshness and sweetness In the sal
lies of Mrs. Wigs wit and in the force
and directness of her advice that stands
repetition.
Not even the overemphasized pessi-
mism of Miss Hay and the satire of her
love affair with the heroic Stubbins, MOI
the extreme girth of Mrs. Schultz and
height of Mrs Etc .orn can destroy the
atmosphere of reality which the horde OF
children. the assorted love affairs, and
the daily events at the cabbage patch
produce.
Blanche Chapman lends to Mrs. Wigs
touch Of personality that well inter.
prets the consistent cheerfulness Oh that
lady, and Charles Carter gives an almost
Rip Van Winkleish quality to the sad
falling from grace and return home OF
Stubbins

GayetY.

Fred Irwin's big show with two good
burlesques entitled The Great White
Way" and 1.-THE Actors CLUB which pro-
vide plenty of comedy and catchy songs,
is the attraction presented to the patrons
Of the Gayety this week. The feature of
the show is a one-act comedy sketch with
tinge Of melodrar1atic entitled "Huck-
ms Rum" which gives Billy Walsh as an
east side boy at a cross country settle
ment opportunity to display some of his
New York slang. while making love with a
country maid. The Watson Sisters in a
singing and dancing turn are good pair
of entertainers. while Brady and Mahony
in their skit. The Hebrew Firemen and
the Foreman" gave good line of com
edy; Campbell and Kenny. eccentric sing
ing and dancing comedians, concluded the
program.

Nevertheless, the applause which greeted

BOARD OF TRADE.
Active Work to Be Taken Up Middle
of January.


The active work of the Board Of Trade
will be taken up in earnest about the
middle of January, when a meeting will
probably be held at the call of President
Cuno H. Rudolph. There are understood
to be several important matters which
the board desires to urge upon Congress
this winter and which will be considered
at the meeting.
The reclamation Of the Anacostia fats
and a general investigation into the public
school question with view to doing away
with the factional disturbances OF the
past year are among the subjects that
will doubtless occupy the attention of the
board.
The board will have five special commit
tees this year as follows: On the erection
Of a hall for public conventions: on the
history Of the District Of Columbia; on
Abraham Lincoln centennial: on codifica-
ton of the District laws, and on conven-
lions.
