Mr. Wallace had been for thirty years an employe of the gold room. Yesterday when a representative of the chief clerk of the metropolitan poice, to whom his effects had been turned over by the coroner, opened a trunk belonging to the deceased, he found about in cash. Some of this money was In old shinplasters and coin, and it is supposed represented Mr. Wallace's savings from his salary for many years.

So far as is known, Mr. Wallace leaves only two near relatives, a niece, who is a schocl teacher in Bustun. and a Mr. Beadle of Chicago, a relative by marriage, both of whom arrived here today to arrange for the buriaL Mr. Wallace's wife died in this city about fifteen years ago, and her remains were taken to New Hampshire, his old home, for burial.

It is supposed that his body wilt be taken there eventually, although It may be placed In a vault here at first. He badl lived In Mr. tBaar's house for fifteen years and was extremely popular with the people in the neighborhood. When he returned from office Friday evening he complained slightly of Ill-feeling. but was well enough to go to dine with a friend on the opposite side of the street and later to receivec a isit from an acquaintance.

About o'clock he was attacked by a stroke of apoplexy, from the effects of which he died almost Instantly. Mr. Wallace was a personal friend of Senator ('handler, and had many acquaintances among New Hampshire people. A YERY IlAY DELL. Presetatiio Programs faor the Light tafantry'm iandeme Gift.

"America" was on the stage last night at Albaugh's, and a great, big overflowing houseful of it was in the audience to see the show. The people were as full of enthusiasm as the house was full of people. too, and "America" went with a whirl from its discovery to the final grand epluribusunum climax. The day of criticising this, the greatest of all spectacles yet put on the American stage, has passed. and it has now come to the era of encomium.

At Chicago it divided honors witj the fair itself, and while it may suffer low by comparison with its magnificent setting of the Auditorium, It still is without a rival in the field of spectacle. It Is a pictorial, musical, lyric, dramatic. saltatorial. spectacular, allegorical history of America from the time Columbus discovered it until the date of Kiralfy's idea of making a scenic representation of it. Carlotta Gilman, Clara Burton, Bella McMillan, Florine Malcolm, Sidney, Gracqr and J.

Gordon Edwards constitute the cast, which serves as a nucleus about which all the effec's cluster. The feature of the show is the athletic and juggling exhibition given by the Schaffer family, easily first of all similar troupes now before the public and really marvelous in their skill and grace. But why talk of "Amercar' It is one of thq things that must be seen to be appreiate. and it will be at Albaugh' every 1iht this week. New National horses, real dogs, and what is much better -than either, real actors, combined to make the performance of "The Prodigal Daughter" at the National Theater last night one of substantial merit.

It is the sterling excellence of the cast that keeps the play from ranking in the mind of the spectator with the ordinary meindrama. But the company Is one whics does not make the excitement go with the wild, uncontrolled whoop whit ft characterizes the production designed purer for purposes of thrill. Every role of pronnence is performed with a judicious regari for artistic propriety. Leonard Boyne is an actor of ability, and he makes the character of Capt. Vernon both interesting and admirable.

Julius Knight, as a sort of assistant hero, Ralph Delmore as the awful and unmitigated villian, Russell Bassett as the humorous bookmaker, and Jeff de Angelis in an effective comedy role, are all praiseworthy to more than the ordinary degree. Charles Coote sustained the reputation he has won in Washington as a competent character actor. Helen Dauvray was much liked by the audience, as she always Is, and altogether, there was great deal in the performance to enjoy, besides that somewhat hackneyed effort in realism, the stage horse-race. Academy-It was "Darkest Russia" at the Academy last night, with a good house to enjoy it, and it was enjoyed, albeit darkest Russia is not enjoyable, as a rule, especily to those who have to go to it. In this instance, however, Mr.

Grsttan Donnelly has written a pliy filled with contrasts of thrill and throb and sunshine and real Iaughter. The play is in four acts and touches upon the exile system and the cruel treatment of offenders In Russian prisons. It Is "Siberia" on a different scale. The scenery is particularly good and the stage effects real enough to make the flesh creep. The love story which runs through it is complicated enough in all reason, but it turns out nicely and to the approved satidfaction of the audience.

Mr. E. L. Davenport, as Alexis, was a handsome Russian, and his sweetheart lds (Miss Seima Herman) had a part which she did with fine effect and in the true spirit. A pair of great favorites with the audience was Gen.

Cobb of Kentucky (Harry Hawk) and the Baroneec (Mine. Carin Jordan), and they made It light whenever they touched the darkest. Cordially hated by the gods was the Counttes Karischeff, very well done by Miss Louise Rial, though her voice was affected by a cold. Mr. Sheridan Block's Ivan was prescnted most acceptably.

Everybody was called before the curtain vociferously at the close of the third act. Harris' Bijou Theater-Harris' Bijou made a record for itself last night. Every seat In the house, as well as every inch of available standing room, was occupied. The play was "Uncle Tom's Cabin."

to 1 p.m. over a a of real ice, nor were there two Uncle Toms. There was but one, yet he proved the attraction. This role was essayed by Peter Jackson, the well-knoen colored heavy-weight pugilist. An an actor Peter Is by no means a failure.

He handled his lines with becoming ease and showed that he had given the part careful study. During the performance he gave a sparring exhibition with Joe Choynski, the California pugilist. The three rounds were spirited adisplayed the black's wonderful shifting tactics. Parson Davies, in the dual role of the Auctioneer and George Harris, was acceptable, as was the remainder of the co'npany. Again tonight.

Kernan's Lyceum name of J. D. Hopkins is synonymous with a good variety show. This year he has outdone himself, and the performance presented last night at Kernan's under his management Wa9 by far the best variety entertainment in this city for years. Those clever entertainers, "The Evans'" opened the show with a pleasing comedy.

Then came Fulgora, the man of many changes. Will H. Fox offered his Inimitable specialty "Paderwhiskie" and set the audience wild. Again and again he was recalled. Then came the Larsen Family, four ladies and one gentleman, in a parlor gymnastic entertainment that was marvelous.

Tney stand at the top of their specialty in the variety world. Kara, the world famous juggler, was next, and proved himself master of his art. Melville and Stetson won merited applause. Miss Stetson's voice was particularly pleasing. After several other specialties, the performance closed with Clayton and Jenkins in the "Jaytown Circus." Again tonight.

Miss Welch's great hero in early Spanish-American history, Bartolome de las Cases, will be the subject of Miss June Meade Welch's lecture tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock in the Builders' Exchange Hall. So great has been the interest aroused in Ameri-an history that Miss Welch will follow the present by another course of lectures, the subject of which is "Our Colonial History." The first lecture will he given Saturday, at 11:30, when she will talk about "A Plucky Little Colony," The Patti real farewell of Mine. Adelina Patti will be given, so far as Washington is concerned, at Convention Hall on Tuesday evening, the 13th Instant. She was assisted by Mile. Fabbri, contralto; Miss Engel, mezzo soprano; Mr.

Durward Leley, tenor; Big. Galassi. baritone; Sig. Novara, basso. There will aso be a grand orchestra, under the direction of Big.

Arditi, and Big. Mascheroni will be the stage director and accompanist. The entertainment will consist of a miscellaneous concert program and the second set of "Martha," to be given in costume, with scenery, paraphernalia, As the concert is to be given in Convention Hall, the prices are arranged so as to come within the reach of all. There will be 2,010 seats reserved at $1, other seats wil be $2, and a limited number of the choicest seats at $3. The sale of seats will begin Thureday, at Metserott's music store.

Miss Kate Field's Kate Field. the brilliant lecturer, will commence a series of lectures in the banquet room of the Shoreham tonight. Her subject will be "Alaska" and she will no doubt present some new facts In regard to that country, of which but little is known, but which Is said to contain much that is interesting. The lectures tonight will be the first of a series of six, which Miss Field is to deliver. The other subjects and the dates are as follows: March 1, "Mormonism;" March 20, "Intemperance of Prohibition;" March 24.

"Charles Dickens;" March 28, "America for Americans," and April 3, "Eyes and Ears in London." A New Ledge of Soes of St. Geerse.
