Struck with Brick, but Not
Badly Hurt.

Policeman Castle, Of the Sixth precinct,
while trying to arrest Thomas Newman,
twenty years old, a negro, in Dfngman
place northwest, last night about 8
o'clock, was surrounded by mob Of
nealy 500 negroes, who tried to intimidate
him into letting Newman go. Castle
drew his revolver and threatened to shoot
any one who interfered, and started to
get out of the crowd. He had taken but
a few steps when some one threw brick
which struck him above the right eye
and knocked him down.
Policemen Hartman and Mahaney, who
were passing, saw the crowd and started
toward it just as Castle fell. They were
unable to see who threw the brick, but
caught Newman as he was running and
placed him under arrest He was taken
to the station house and an ambulance
carried Castle to the Casualty Hospital.
The physicians there last night said the
policeman would be able to be out In a
few days, as he suffered only the cut
over the eye.

THE BELASC0.

Before one Of the most brilliant audi
ences of the season, the French Grand
Opera Company opened its second weeks
engagement at the Belasco Theater last
night with a superb presentation of
Saint-Saen's masterpiece. Samson and
Delilah." This opera, although certain
parts of the music is familiar. was prob
ably never produced in this city before.

ncr. and justly so. for the whole per-
formdnce was artistic.
The male title role was sung by NJ.
Fontaine. and he again demonstrated that
he is the premier tenor Of the company.
and one of the first singers of the period.
His voice, while essentially dramatic. is
capable Of great tenderness of emotional
expression, his acting is excellent, and
his physique is suited to the part.
Mile. Nady Blancard appeared as Deli
lah. and divided the honors. Her voice
is remarkable for its fiexibi!ity and range,
while her Interpretation of the character
an actress of unusual power. In the sec
ond act her work with Moore and after
ward with Fontaine was splendid. and
after this act they were recalled re-
peatedly.
NJ Moore appeared as the priest, NJ.
Huberty as Hebrent. and NJ. Caillol as
Abimilech, and It is almost needless TO
say. after a review of last weeks roper
toire. that everything was done well.
The minor roles were also capably sus-
tanned. and the chorus Is again brought
to the fore. there being much ensemble
music in oratorio style. The orchestra,
under the direction Of NJ de lie Fuente.

and difficult. with fine effect and 1t is
becoming more and more evident that

THE COSMOS.

At the first performance yesterday aft
ernoon Fred Sergeant, who plays one Of
the principal character parts in the We'll

taken seriously Ill and had to be hur-
ried to New York. AS his place could
not be filled on short notice, the sketch
was withdrawn and THE Widow and
the Doctor" by Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Glib
bons, substituted. An act that scored a
real hit is Reeds comedy bull dogs. who
present rapid fire routine Of tricks and
comedy different from the usual trained
animal stunts. Other acts that scored

THE GAYETY.
"The London Belles,0

With large after Lent house, Wash.
ington testified to the excellency Of Rose
Sydell and her London Bellies, which
played a return engagement at the Gayety
last evening. With the exception Of a
few minor changes The Girl from
Sherry's" is the same pleasing show seen
here the first part of the season. As
usual Rose Sydell is the leading attrac-
ton, but her able assistant is that ever
funny Johnny Weber, always a welcome
visitor in this city. Susie Fisher, who
has a phenomenal barytone voice, was
encored repeatedly last evening. AS a
special attraction Kid Egan and Kid
Sullivan, two well known Washington
exponents Of the art Of self-defense went
three fast rounds, much to the delight
of the audience.
The show warrants no adverse criticism
and one is sure of spending a pleasant
evening II they go to the Gayety with
THE Girl from Sherry's."

THE NEW LYCEUM.
"The Passing Parade"

The third Of Gordon & North's shows,
The Passing Parade" is the attraction
this week at the New Lyceum. Many
familiar faces are seen. and the story
of the show is good, being that OF a
German hotel proprietor whose dislike
for the Irish is very emphatic and whose
daughter marries an Irish valet. under
the impression that she is getting an
English nobleman.
Sam Sidman. in his well-known imper-
sonation OF the German hotel proprietor,
is extremely ludicrous, and Dave Conroy
as the Irishman is good, while May Rose
as Fif is charming soubrette, and
Cecela Sylvester as Gwendolyn bears the
feminine honors. Several novelties are
introduced in the musical numbers, the
most notable being an Apache sextet.
