FEATURE BILL AT THE OPERA
HOUSE.

Tie bill opening the week at the
Opera House is one Of the strongest
presented there so far this season and SO
enormous were the crowds at the house
that the seat sale was suspended before
eight O'Clock in spite Of the bad weather.
The performance is headlined by Mr..
r. L. Hilliard, presenting Miss M'gnon
Philips in sensational dramatic play
cite entitled The Adventures, telling
the story Of the duplicity Of woman
Of the world who ensnares young
club man with her wiles, leading him
into life OF crime, then laughs and
taunts him until in desperation he
slrang!es her 10 death. Miss Florence
Douglas, q dainty and pretty comedl-
enne, was mostly entertaining In her
songs and monologue. She tells some
clever stories. Mr.. John LcClalr, the
iurgler, is an absolute novelty in Alex
andria. Some of the tricks he presents
seem to be almost impossible. There
witlvbe daily matinees.

cE RGEn WITH FALSE PRETENsEs

$; was stated in the Gazette, a
70, ng man named Harvey Davis, OF
hi. city, was arrested in Washington
yes..rday morning after he had made
an unsuccessful attempt to secure a
wat Ii from the residence of Mr.. Char
les Zimmerman, jr. Davis was later
brought to Alexandria by Officers
Young and Carney. The prisoner de.
clarcd that it is a case OF mistaken
identity, but five boys who had been
employed by Davis in his operations
positively identified him at police head
quarters rs their employer.
1t is alleged that Davis spotted men
who had left their watches or over,
coats at home, and then employed
bows to 90 to their houses with the
statement that the owner had forgotten
the article and wished it sent to GER
tain place. In each instance the man
waited on nearby corner, and II the
ruse worked the boy got cents for
his trouble. Among those complain
ing to the police are James Patterson,
ir., who lost an oycrcoat; Amos CHIT,
who was relieved OF 4 raincoat, and
William Cassabonc, William II. Beach,
and Joseph Morris, whose watches were
turned over to the boys.
The case was called in the Police
Court this morning, but i'll the absence
OF material witnesses was postponed
until Saturday. The charge upon
which Davis will be tried will be the
larceny OF watch from William Cas-
sabone. The accused will be represent
Cd by Mr.. Leo P. Harlow.

ing. Again congratulating, it is hope d
