What Happened at the House.

Crouch and WEIGH took positions in the
front and rear of the Cedar street house
while May approached and knocked upon
the door.
Come ill.," said a woman when she
heard the knocking on the door.
This woman proved to be Mrs. Johnson.
She frankly told the policeman that Sam
was upstairs, and she thought had retired
for the night. Sam may have retired, but
he had not removed his wearing apparel
and although he showed "a disposition to
submit quietly to arrest, he changed his
mind when he reached the kitchen and
saw the other policemen.
"I'll not go a step declared Sam, and
he talked about his home being his caste.
Grabbing a case knife he made toward the
three policemen, using 1t as he ran.
Blood was soon flowing from wounds in
the heads of Policemen WEIGH and Couch.
WEIGH also received a cut across the In
dex finger of his right hand. but he dad
not know it until the excitement was
over and Johnson was landed behind the
bars.
Capt. Doyle had the wounded police
men taken to Freedmen's Hospital. where
their wounds were dressed. They returned
TO the station later from the hospital and
Capt. Doyle excused them from further
duty. Neither officer was seriously
wounded,

doubts in the naked light OF an unsparing
sarcasm.
Today fortune had favored him in choos-
ing a theme which, at some moments,
makes all men kin. A day or so before, a
foreign state had offered an indign!ty to
by the administration, whereupon an army
of the tluid and the habitual grumblers
had arisen with complaints and a wall OF
agony. Did the administration want war?
Did It realize it's danger? Its unprepared-
ness? The honor of the country, for which
brave men have died, was as nothing COM
pared to their fears and their greed. Ry-
land rose to defend the course Of the ad-
minstration, and almost his first words
touched a responsive chord in the bosoms
of his hearers. With fine sarcasm he ar
raigned the tremblers and the gruulblers
honored and defied and run whining to
their kennels rather than spend a dollar or
raise hand In Its defense Then he
spoke with simple eloquence of the making
of that flag, of the blood and the tears
that had baptized it, Of the faith and the

it's stripes, Of the coyardice Of those who
would defile or desert 1t. He ridiculed the
fear of those who dreaded European ag
gression In country of such strength and
such resources. He touched. too, upon the
power. and foreshadowed the policy of a
nation in its maturity.

Mrs Whiting rose from her seat at the
luncheon table and signed to Mary to follow
her into the study. Frances Fennel was
absent and the room. the smallest on the
second floor. was vacant: litter of papers
and letters on Miss Fenners desk and two
or three boxes full OF directed invitations
on the table gave an air of recent occupa-
ton. 1t was the social dissecting room Of
the household. and Mrs. Whiting. with all
her shrewdness. was unconscious Of how
often Frances overreached her and manipu-
lated the entertainments for her own profit
and revenge The old woman. herself q
profound. schemer. was occupied with larger
interests and Frances had her opportu-
mites.
Mrs. Whiting-moving In front Of Mary
into the study-looked particularly large
and ungainly In spite Of her rich dress and
her jewels. She seated herself in Frances
Fenneis revolving chair and pointed to a
seat opposite. "Sit down." she said: Il
have something to say to you"
Mary took the seat indicated and waited
for her to continue with q little nervous
tremor which was barely perceptible in the
slender hands she clasped upon her knee.
Her face was absolutely colorless and her
eyes strangely luminous. The steadiness
OF her level glance and her silence had
curious effect upon Mrs. Whiting: she
stretched out jeweled hand and began to
play with the papers on the desk. turning

his glance and his words seemed to be the
GROWING dishonor. She dared not consider
herself as worthy Of Ryland's esteem, and
that. she realized. was all she cared for,
the one thing supremacy worth having.
She had gone directly to her room to lay
tune for house gown. but she could not
endure the sight Of its four walls; the night
before had been one OF torture and she
went down to the library. only to find the
second man setting out the tea things IN
the corner by the fire. for IT was close to D
O. clock and Mrs. Whiting had already gone
out on her endless round Of calls. having
waited twenty minutes or more for her
niece.
Though the hour by the tea-table was
often a relief to Mary in the less crowded
days. it rather frightened her now with the
thought of farther introspection. She In
quired hastily If Miss Fennel was in the
study: even Frances would have afforded
some shelter from self arrangement and she
wanted. too. to dispel II possible, the i'm

had received But the footman explained
that Miss Fennel had left early-aboUt 3
o'clock-to give some orders at the florists
and the confectioner's for dinner which
was to come Off in fortnight.
Finding herself alone, therefore, Mary
took refuge IN tea-making. but even that
simple and cheerful operation recalled the
emotion of her interview with Portucar-
zero. and the feeling which it had produced
of having beaten her hands against q stone
wall with the senseleSs violence of Il child
who cries because it cannot climb so high.

1.-THE Fortune Teller" another charming
opera from Victor Herbert's pen, like Tho
Serenade," will be presented by the Aborn
Opera Company during the coming week at
the New National Theater. This dainty
composition was produced by Alice Nielsen
originally, and afforded her the means Of,
rising to the top rank of musical stardom
! in both America and Europe. 1t has proven
a potent drawing attraction on former occa-
| sions when the Aborns presented II during,
! their summer opera series in the past and
with the cast announced for its coming re-
, vival, and the same colorful production Of
scenery and costumes which they presented
with 1T before. it should prove one of the!
most auspicious selections OF their present.
season.
The excellence Of workmanship of both
the librettist Harry B. Smith, and the COM
poser, Victor Herbert, in THE Fortune
Teller leaves nothing to be desired in the
line of real comic opera of the better sort. /
The book abounds in the brightest OF humor
and comedy situations. with q story rather
more romantic than the average, set in pic !
turesque Hungary. Herbert has always
shown peculiar aptitude in fitting his music
to the locale whether the scenes be laid in
Italy. Egypt or Japan. In THE Fortune,
Teller" the score IS delightful renaissance
Of Hungarian music though thoroughly
phere of the opera.
1t happens that every member of the
cast for the coming week is conversant
with his or her part through previous ap- !
pearance, some Of whom have played theirs
respective roles for season or more. Grace
Orr Myers. who played the stellar role for,
two years will be seen in the same part
again. Two of the principal comedy char
acters will be portrayed by Robert Lett and
Phil Branson, who were with the same
company as Miss Myers in 1.-The Fortune
Teller" while still another comedy part
will be assigned to Irving Brooks. the we'll I.
known German comedian, a newcomer to
the Aborn aggregation. =
Among others who will appear in roles In
which they formerly met success are Hunt

Coming Attractions.
Columbia.

Ouida's celebrated love romance, Moths" p"
will be offered in elaborate revival by the
Columbia Theater Company for the ninth
of that organization, beginning tomorrow
evening. There are several versions of this
famous play, but the finest is that by Henry
Hamilton, to be used during this weeks in
depreciation of the piece. Hamilton is the
well-known author Of Harvest" Our
Regiment and other plays and the writer
Of the lyrics for The School Girl" ''Vero-
nique' and the Duchess of Dantzic." Miss
Hida Spong will appear this week as Vera.
the charming heroine of this widely known
romance. and she may easily be expected to
add another to her list of successes. Miss
Charlotte Walker will also have another

Ouida's famous story. was brought out in
1850. Several years later il was produced
in dramatic form under the auspices of
Lester Wallack at his famous theater IN
New York, and met with tremendous sue
cess-so much so, in fact, that Moths
was chosen for presentation with star
cast at the great actors fund beneht or
twenty years ago. That performance was
given at the Grand Opera House In New
York, with Kyrle Bellew as Correze, the ro-
mantle singer; Osmund Tearle as the heroic
and sympathetic Lord Jura, the late E. j.
Henley as the Russian Prince Zourof.
Charles Coote, an old Washington faVorlte,
as the Duke of Null; Miss ForteScue as
Vera; John Drew's sister Georgia Drew Bar

The characterof Vera is a fascinating one.
She is the innocent daughter. fresh from
the convent, of Lady Dolly Vanderdecker,
designing mother who is a woman of
rank with little fortune, and is attracted by
the wealth, power and influence of Prince
Zouroff. a wealthy Russian.
The romance treats Of the enforced mar

butterfly with an ignoble nature, and is
compared by Ouida to moth "fretting

spring. He enters upon the
eighth week of his stay at the Belasco to-
morrow night with production Of sheri-
dams fine old comedy, 1.-The Rivals" Then
will come that fine old melodrama, Capt.
Swift" In which Mr.. Arden does some OF
the best work of his career and for his
closing offering, the tenth and last week OF
his season, Mr.. Arden will be seen in an
other splendid comedy. Looking back over
his record of the past seven weeks, 1t must
be confessed that Mr.. Arden and his COM
pany have given Washington theatergoers 8
some of the best productions and as fine
acting seen here with summer stock COM
pany. There was high comedy atmos-
phere to his first production, The Inn
portance Of Being Earnest which stamped
his whole organization at once as COM
pany Of artistic players who knew how
to act. The following week. with Pinero's
difficult play, 'The Gay Lord Quex," Mr..
Arden and Miss Herne gave a brilliant per-
formance in a manner that would have done
credit to any Broadway theater. Then
came "Raff1es," another great achieve
ment. The humorous prince Karl showed
Mr.. Arden in a new light, while "Divorcons'
was another great achievement. Stepping
from the center Of the stage for one week
in order to let Edward Ellis play 1.-The Pri-
vate Secretary" Mr.. Arden not only showed
his own generosity toward his fellow play
ers, but also demonstrated that his artistic
organization could shift without difficulty
from Wilde and Pinero into the realms OF
genuine farce.
Last weeks high-class presentation Of
"a Scrap of Paper" was brilliant achieve
ment. DR.. Egan Of the Catholic University
was in the audience Monday night at the
Belasco, and declared that he had seen this
famous comedy seven times acted in four
different languages, and that Mr.. Arden's
presentation was the most satisfying he had
ever seen.
Much may therefore be expected from
Mr. Arden's production of "The Rivals
this week. 1t is a most difficult play to act
under any circumstances, but for sum-
mer company to prepare 1t in hot weather,
in less than a week, acting another play all
the time is nothing less than marvellous.
However, Mr.. Arden has confidence in his
players and In himself, and promises a
smooth performance tomorrow night. 1t
is this uniformly brilliant series Of per-
formances that makes one regret that Mr..
Arden must leave Washington SO soon, in
order to make his preparations for the new
season. He is such finished actor and
such a brilliant artist that one regrets his
departure.
The new leading lady at the Belasco
Theater Miss Amy Ricard, stepped into
instant popularity last week by her excel
lent work in "a Scrap Of Paper" Miss
Ricard is a breezy and magnetic young
woman, whose personality gets over the
footlights at once. She is very young In
deed to be playing leading roles, but then
her entire career has been most meteoric'
having scored her first great success when
she was twenty, and that only four years
