highlanders is new thing. In the
old days claret was drunk all over
Scotland. II came--smuggled as q

T HE THE A T E R.
"Rigoletto.'' =

No one who had seen Alice Nielsen in
light comic operas believed that she would
develop into grand opera singer. Those
who heard her last night at the Belasco
in the role of Gilda in Verdi's "Kigoletto"
were amazed at the transformation that
has taken place. Her voice has broad
ened in tone and has extended in range,
has an added clarity of tone. with a car
rying power that made her a distinct and
emphatic success. In every aria and duet
and in the well-known quartet she was
the central figure. and her work was
warmly applauded. This was particularly
so in the duet and the caro- nome" in the
first act, where her f1eXibility and sonor-
ity OF tone we"e perhaps better shown
than anywhere else. She was recalled
again and again to bow her achnowledg
ments. Her action showed that she still
retains all the temperament that contrib
uted to her success in comic opera. with
the faculty of adapting it to the role she
assumes.
Victor Maurel in the title role showed
that he was the same forceful and el-
fective actor ever. The jester is one
of his best parts. The audience appreci-
ated his work and rewarded it with fire.
quent applause. Particularly was ths
the case in the climax to the third act.
where he finds Gilda his daughter in the
dukes palace and makes the VOW to Kill
him. Here he and Miss Nielsen were re-
called many times Carlo DAM, WHO sang
the part of the duke. has an extremely
pleasant voice of the tenor d graZia
quality. and he sang with excellent taste
and effect. His song LA Donna Mo-
bile had to be repeated.
The orchestra. under the leadership of
Sig. Cont was delight, giving the nielo-
dious score of Verdi with sympa thetic
and delicious effect. The chorus was
large and sang well. Tonight will be
given Ponchiellis LA Gioconda, with
Northca and Constantine in the cast. The
performance begins at 40 o'clock.

CURRENT rs STRONG
SPECTATORS WATCH wHIRL OF
THE POTOMAC WATERS.

The overflow of the waters of the Shen-
sndoah and Potomac rivers is causing
the strongest current in the river noted
strong northwest wind yesterday was a
factor in preventing high water about this
city. Had the wind been strong easterly
or southerly. those along the wharves
acquainted with the vagaries Of the Poto-
mac say. a flood might have occurred
The current yesterday raced by George
town and under the bridges at speed
variously estimated at from six to ten
miles an hour. The water is also flowing
swiftly today, but the river men expect
1t to lose much of it's strength by tomor-
row. The force of the current it is stated.
is expressed that the muddy water may
reach the oyster beds and injure the crop,
as ii did several years ago.
The current has been strong enough to
prevent vessels from coming up the river
and there were no arrivals of cargo-laden
boats all day yesterday or this morning
Steamers coming up the river Yesterday
and this morning were more or less de-
layed by the strong current they had TO
fight for thirty miles or more.
The chasm of the Potomac. from the
dam. a mile above Great Falls TO the
mouth of Difficult rum distance of about
three miles. yesterday afternoon was a
mad. rushing torrent of muddy water,
that leaped in great whrls over the rocks
The falls were practically obliterated,
only small portion of the two highest
points of rock showing above the surface.
The water filled the gorge to within about
fifteen feet of the observation stand at
the park. and one of the lower observa-
ton stands was missing and had evident
ly been carried away by the water. At

country on the Virginia side is under a

INCREASES SUBSCRIPTION.
Friend of Charities Contributes $3.50
to Relief Funds.

One citizen. who does not wish his name
to be made public. has responded to the
statement that collections for charita BILE
work this year will be much more difficult
while needs among the poor will be in
creased result of the recent financial
furry. This gentleman attended d meet
of Baltimore made a. plea to all subscrib-
ers to increase rather than decrease their
usual contributions. She said the Asso-
ciated Charities in all the cities of the
country are threatened with serious
catastrophe for lack of funds.
Let us reduce the amount which we
spend for ourselves. she said. rather
than the needed contribution which we
make for the relief and upbuilding of suf-
fering families
In response to this appeal this citizen
has given 800 to the Associated Charities
siGa TO the Citizens Relief Association
and 800 to the committee on prevention Of

of his usual gift
