The work on tha I street gulch aewer haa been slow and since the break of the water main and the N street sewer tha work haa been suspended. Tha construction of this tunnel had no effect on the ground above for tha work put In did Dot cave In at any point.

The city Is at work diverting the water which Is flowing In the broken N street sewer to the big hollow south of Twentieth street. , Thl arrangement la only , tem porary.

That's all there is to It. Brown la an excessively modest young man, with a large fund of humor, a deep vein of sentiment of the healthy sort, much Im pulsive generosity and bulldog courage to no end. And Henry Woodruff mokes him Just that sort of chap. Tom Brown Is in his fourth year at Harvard, and Is in love with Evelyn Ken yon. Wilfred Kenyon, her brother, has a weakneas for strong drink and gambling, and gets himself Into several nasty places, out of which he is helped by Brown. Marlon Thome Is- the sister ef a poor, but Intensely proud young southerner, who Is trying ta work his way through college. Unknown to Thorns, Brown ta paying his expenses. Thome becomes stroke oar af the best crew Harvard ever had. and It Is through hla wonderful skill as an oarsman that triumph Is sure to come to Harvard In the race with the English crew. A chap named Holton, who haa been graduated from fair Harvard, Is so far lost to all sense of decency aa to want Harvard to lose so that he can clean up some large 1 sums of money In the way of wagers. He has power over young Kenyon, and gets him to send Miss Thorne away, knowing ber brother will follow. The ruse succeeds. Miss Thome being given a check to which Kenyon haa forged Brown's name. AX the moment of starting tha race, Colton puts a note Into Thome's hand, telling him bis sister has flown. ' Thorne rushes madly away, leaving tha crew without Its master ful stroke oar, and the exultation of CeU ton over certain victory la great. But Tom Brown la the substitute, and he takes the place of the deserter, drives the crew to a glorious victory, and returns to the boat house to be denounced by the irate Thome aa a seducer, a blackleg, and a liar, and the ferged check Is offered as evidence. In the last act Brown succeeds in convinc ing bis friends of his innocence, but re fuses to divulge the name of tha man. Then young Kenyon confesses to his mother, and all Is well. Mr. Woodruff la suffering from so heavy a cold that his voice all but failed him last night. He gives the part much spirited life, and makes it lead. The company sup porting him Is very good, going through the various stunts of college days with vim and apparent sest. Ths stage settings are most appropriate, the second and third acta, one showing a "yard" at Harvard university, and tha other, the Harvard boat house on the Charlea river, being quite realistic, Much genuine comedy Is put Into the second act. The audience last night waa very responsive to the efforts of the company, and curtain calls were numerous at the end of each act. The engagement lasts until after Saturday night, with a matinee Saturday. Way Dawa East" at tha Kraft. That "Way Down East," ta aa popular as ever was Indicated by the large audience which aaw the opening performance at the Krug theater last evening. The quaint New England characters are portrayed with a faithfulness which Is not always ap parent in a play where the nature of the characters gives so broad a leeway, for overdoing. Grace Hopkins in tha part ef Anna Moore la strong. HI Holler, tha chore boy. Is portrayed by Eddie Heroa In a way that keepa the audience In continuous . lauchter. Tha ether unique characters of the down east country are all well shown. The village choir la made up of four ex cellently blended voices and the audience demanded repeated encores. The scenery is all first class, and the smaller details are faithfully carried out In the third act there Is a snowstorm lasting throughout the act. This is produced by a special appliance, lately In vented and patented. "Way Down East" will be at the Krug tonight and tomorrow matinee and night. 1 Music The last concert In Mrs. Turner's sub scription series waa given laat night at the First Baptist church. Mrs. Turner will present still other attractions this season, next Thursday night Demare, the great English organist, and others of much Importance also, but this event which took place last night closed the subscription series. The word "event" Is used purposely, for It was not a concert In the sense In which the other affairs of Mrs. Turner were. Had It been a concert this would have been a criticism. But thla is merely a dissertation and the subject is Kitty Cheatham, who let down the bars of the fields which stern elders .had placed there and called to all the children, young and old, to come and enter and roam at will and gather daisies and play with flowers and Just be young again. And you should have seen them. Wrin kles caused by financial strenuoushess fled aa if by magio and faces will be tired today because laughing muscles were used last night that had been out of practice for a long time. , And how the children enjoyed It! There were children there 60 years old so old that they were still bald on the tops of their heads, and, bless you, they looked as though they were only 16 when Kitty Cheatham sang. There were men-children with white beards and gray beards, and there were women-children with silver hair, but they wore the smiles of child hood aa though they were not out of the fourth grade yet And there 1 were serious big men who nodded and ' beat time and then turned round and aald to each other, "I've seen it Just like that," when this Miss Kitty Cheatham sang her negro songs of the old folks' down yonder, and could it be that that stern-looking old fellow had a tear In his eye? No. it must have been the reflection of the lights. Aa an actress Miss Cheatham is a de light and a Joy. Her little Incidental talks were refreshing. Her Interpreta tions were beautiful, and one might wait long before he would hear auch another presentation of "Where Did Toa Come From, Baby DearT" as she gave last night But this waa only one of many. And The Bee must go to press. Miss Corrine Paulson did some very ef fective and altogether sympathetlo ac companying at the piano, a difficult task, indeed, in such a long and varied program, in which the singer must of necessity take many liberties.
