tious. large crowd attended the pro-
duction of 1.-The Chaperon,'' a mill
tary musical comedy, written, arrang-
ed AID directed by Mrs. Percy Evans,
at the Auditorium Rink last night.
The play took well with the large
pared favorably with the other local
theatrical successes of the past sea-
son. 1t was given for the benefit of
the Athletic Association of the Mill
tary Institute, and the said asso-
citation will make a neat profit out Of
the receipts, which amounted TO
about s140.
The plot was light, intended mere
ly as a framework for the musical
productions of the evening However,
a slight story ran through the even
ing that connected the different num-
bers of the program. The scene was
an army camp, at which a number OF
officers and men planned a tea party
for number of their lady friends
The ladies accepted, but had great
trouble in finding a chaperon, at least
one that would suit the occasion. Fin
ally the ladies arrived, and when the
chaperon was reluctantly brought for
ward, she was found to be a wax
figure. The party progressed in its
different shades and scenes and all
went well until tea was announced
in the mess tent. Just then the colonel
unexpectedly made his appearance;
but all ended happily when he was
introduced to the chaperon and found
that she was a lady of sufficient dig
nifty and rigidity to maintain the pro-
per decorum.
The songs and dances Of the even
ing made up the real program. The
songs were all popular and catchy
airs from popular operas and plays,
almost every member of the company
was assisted on the chorus by the
entire company. Several of the songs
were accompanied by dance steps
that made them unusually attractive.
Especially well received were the
songs, 'Arlie," and Soldier MAJ"
the latter being made more realistic
by short drill by a double squad
of military men.
A number on encores were demand
ed, but R. Dow and c. Dannelley
buck and wing dancing. Dan1elley
brought another burst of applause
when he elevated his trousers slight
ly and displayed brilliant vermillion
half-hose.
The Norvell-Croft orchestra gave
an Introductory program that was OF
special merit, being one OF the best
| features of the evening for the real
lovers of music.

Belasco.

The Hebrew Orphan Asylum of Atlanta,
Ga. gave benefit at the Belasco Theater
last night with The Rose of the Ran
chO' as the attraction. The benefit was
distinct success. the house being crowd
ed.
The play is mounted and enacted with
the wealth of color and close attention
to detail characteristic of a David Be-
lascO representation, and the performance
of Miss Frances Starr was especially in
teresting because of the fact that she is
new to Washington. Miss Starr appeared
as the Rose. the daughter of Spanish
mother and a "Grinco." Her little Span
ish movements, gestures and infections of
voice, her vivacity, her dancing, vehe-
mence and quick transitions are to the
life, and the special trick of interIarding
the dignified language of the south with
the direct Yankee dialect of her father
makes her part at once attractive and
humorous.
The characteristic work of John Cope as
KinkarG, Wayne Arey as Rigsby, the
foreman; Frank Losee as the Padre and
Hamilton Revelle as Don Luis, was good
and Charles Richman was altogether
manly as Kearney, the American lover
and land agent. Marta Mclean, as the
head of the Castro house, was thoroughly
the grand dame of the Spanish period
A young Washington girl. Atlanta Nico-
ladies, as Trinidad one of the Rose s
friends, did her rather small part WELL

HOME OF SOUTHERN SOCIETIES
PURCHASE OF NoRMENT MAN
SION ON M STREET.
Amount Paid for the Structure Said
to Have Been $4,000.
Future Plans.

The several southern societies in the
District of Columbia have decided, it is
said; to purchase the Norment house on
NJ street between 9th and 10th streets and
convert 1t into permanent home building
and meeting place for the organizations.
The societies that are interested in the
matter and that will occupy the building
are the United Confederate Veterans, the
Daughters of the Confederacy, Sons of
Confederate Veterans and the Southern
Relief Society
The NOrment manor is a veritable land
mark of Washington, and is SO construct
ed that it will not be difficult to arrange
meeting halls and club features for the
former men in gray and their contributory
associations. The location too, Is said to
be well adapted for the quiet uses for
which the structure will be employed.
Mr.. Magnus Thompson is chairman of
the building committee of the United Con-
federate Veterans. 1t is understood the
building has been purchased for $4,000,
and that Mr.. J. J. Darlington has headed
the building fund with a donation of
1000.
The matter was discussed at a meeting
of the Stonewal Jackson Chapter of
daughters of the Confederacy. at 1929 F
street last evening. and the ladies are
said to have expressed their willingness
TO arrange for big bazaar in the near flu
ture to raise money for the building fund
The Confederate Veterans have had no
fixed meeting place since they vacated
their late headquarters on ii street and,
AS they have considerable property, in
Guiding wartime pictures and relics, they
regard it as necessary that the several or
ganizatioDS own their own home.
The Norment house has in the past been
the scene of many noted social gatherings.
and is regarded as one of the pronounced
reminders Of old Washington.

MANY BEAUTIFUL HATS.
Palais Royal Exhibiting Artistic
Creations From France,


The radiance of light and perfume of
flowers at the Palais Royal yesterday
was in cheering contrast to the gloomy
weather outside. The many hats artis-
tically arranged literally glowed under
concealed electric lights, which, with
aheir colored shades created various
beautiful effects. One case, illumined
with rose-tinted rays of light, contained
hats trimmed with every variety of flow
ers. Another, with light filtered through
a blue screen, was filled with models
trimmed with rich feather plumes.

APPEAL FOR PARDON.

New York steamboat man who is serving

the destruction of the steamer General

terday afternoon the paper was taken
to the Alexandria ferry wharf, and in the
course of two hours it received the sigma

national association of steamboat men.
1t is stated that under the direction OF
the rational association of steamboat
men the petition is being circulated all
over the United States. and in a short
time will be presented to President
Roosevelt.
The steamboat men allege that Capt.
Van Schaick was the victim of circum-
stances beyond his control, and that he
was not responsible for the burning OF
the Slocum and the loss OF the thousand
or more lives in the disaster. He is an
old man and the ten-year sentence he is
serving is practically a life sentence, as

Majestic.

Happy Hoolgan disported himself be-
fore large audience last night at the
Majestic Theater in the musical hurly-
burly descriptive of his trip around the
world. In appearance Happy resembled
an animated scarecrow with his 'tattered
and tared' garments and a discarded to-
mato can as his head gear. He was ably
supported by corps of capable comed-
ians, vocalists and chorus girls, and there
was fun and frolic rampant from the
opening scene in the poppy land of Japan
to the close in practical New York. Eddie
DeNoyer, in the title role, displayed a
rollicking versatility that enabled him to

No opportunity was given to her for
showing the lighter side of her art, which
| is valuable as a foil to her strong emo

| her at high tension, and all her powers
| were called upon to portray the woman
broken by sorrow, tottering under the
weight of her woe. hopeless and remorse-
| full. Mr.. Stevenson made an admirable
Prince GregOire and played the part with

| Frank Mills, to whom the character SEEM

proper pitch in the impassioned scenes
with Miss Nethersoe. A thoroughly
praiseworthy picture of a countess of the
old regime was presented by Miss Mary
Relph. whose acting had a perfection OF
detail not too often encountered in sup

APPEAL TO CONGRESS.
Request for Emergency Fund for
Police Court Expenses.

1t is said to be likely that the Commits
sioners will appeal to Congress for a
special appropriation for the maintenance
Of the District Police Court until July 1
next. upon which date the appropriation
for the next fiscal year will become avail
able. The appropriation for the current
year is practically exhausted, according to
communication forwarded to the Com
missioners Saturday by the judges Of the
court.
The appeal of the judges for aid in this
matter was referred to Auditor Tweedaie
who yesterday reported to the Commits
sioners that there is no fund out of which
to meet the anticipated needs. which. as
he states, were not brought to the at
tention of the Commissioners before they
made up their estimates for the urgent
deficiency bill. 1t was because of this re-
port from the auditor that Commissioner
Mcfarland. as president of the board OF
Commissioners. made a motion today
that the statement from the judges oil
the Police Court be brought to the at
tention of Congress for such action as II
may be able to take to meet the neces-
sites of the case.
