Hospital for the Insane in Distress on Several Ucca sions Dealers Unabic io Deliver and Prices Advance A canvass of the Governmeni depart- ments yesterday afternoon developed the fact that some of them have on band less than enough coal to keep the build- ings heated and their plants in operation for an entire day. Taking the entire supply of the C api- tol, the State, War, and Navy Buildings, and the other large Government work- shops, and dividing it among the entire aggregation pro rata, the aggregate wonld barely keep the furnaces going for three dave and a half. The bins of the cozl dealers are empty and the supply on the rails is barely enough to keep the buildings going from day to day. The figures concerning the daily con sumption of coal in the various de partments and the amount on hand yes terday afternoon, as given in the accom panying table, were secured from the officials in charge of the several build ings.

Hospital in Distress. The Government Hospital for the sane was on several occasions in d tress. The dealer who held the contr for supplying anthracite coal has ab: doned it and no hard coal had Db: received for several months. A fal good supply of soft coal was on hi for a time, but a period of twenty days without a shipment almost exhay ed the supply.

Americans who came to the Paris World's Fair of 1900 would scarcely recognize the beautiful Petit Palais opened on Thursday by President Loubet as “‘the Museum of Fine Arts of the City of Paris.” The interior of the Petit Palais has been completely trans formed. It is heated by a new invention of hot water apparatus which cannot injure the most delicate objects. The soft, creamy #ilk vellum suspended beneath the ceil ings gives a fine Mght for pictures. This new Paris museum, in addition to hun dreds of works by Purvis de Chavann, Donnat Henner, Frenat, Foiginere, and ether modern painters and sculptors contains the whole of the famous Dutuit collection of old masters. It is pronounced by the best judges here as the ideal for a relatively small museum, and, next after the Louvre and the Luxembourg Gallery js considered the mest interesting permanent art ireasure in Paris for lovers of painting, falence, ond rare and beautiful ob jects. 11 is also full of surprises.

CASTRO LIKENED TO KRUGER Action of the Powers Held to Be In excusable—Kaiser’s Navy Scored for Sinking Venezuelan Ships. (Special Dispatch to The Washington Times Ly French Cable.) i (Special Dispatch to The Washington limes oF French Cable.) PARIS, Dec. 13.—Publie opinion throughout France, which was at first decidedly unfavorable to President Cas tro and Venezuela, has undergone a change in the last twenty-four hours, owing to the act of the German com modore in sinking the insignificant Ven ezuelan ships. This is regarded here as a pure piece of wanton aggression, showing up the German character in its worst and most blustering aspect. Yes terday all the Paris papers were jeering at President Castro. They teemed with skits and jests giving prominence with exquisite humor to his offer to pay credi tors whenever veace should prevail in Venezuela, a condition the “Debats’ and other important newspapers declared to be practically unknowa in that land of pronunciamentos and civil wars, and re garded President Casiro’s promise as a parallel to an engagement to be ful filled at the Greek calends. Laugh on Other Side. Today, however, the laugh is on the ‘other side. The Conservative “Gaulois” declares the dual alliance of England and Germany, owing to “the stupid vio lence of the German commodore.” to be marred by a grave initial blunder, which brings ridicule upon both of the allies, and which is beginning to give the beau role to President Castro, notwithstand ing all his backslidings. For, says the “Gaulois,’ there is no longer any doubt but what the Venezuelans will make a plucky fight against foreign invaders and will take the Boers as ‘heir model.

POLITICS NOTED IN GRISCOM’S SELECTION Announcement of Appointment Coupled With Pearscn's Causes Talk. To be minister to Japan, to succeed A. E. Buck, deceased— Lloyd C. Griscom, of Pennsylvania, now minister ‘yu Persia. To be minister to Persia, to succeed Griscom, transferred Richmond P. Pearson, of North Carolina ow in the consular service. The announcement of these ‘wo ap pointments vesterday led to much gossip in political circles. It is doubtful if sim ilar action regarding any other two names would have called forth such an amount of speculation as to the influ ences which led to their selection and the results likely to follow because of the interesis thus recognized. Mr. Griscom’s appoigiment is gener ally attributed tp the influence of Sena tor Hanna. who is known to be an espe cially close friend of the young diple mat’'s father, Clement A. Griseom. The elder Griscom is the head of {he Inter national Navigation Company, and with Senator Hanna the chief promoter of the ship subsidy bill. This measure paseed the Senate last winter, alter a long fight, in which the cause of the shipping inter ests was champiened by Senator Hanna. President Griscom hag been in Wash ington for several days past. Questiors Being Asked. The question inspired by young Mr. Griscom’s appointment is to what ex tent the influence exerted by the ship subsidy advocates on cne occasion wil} be potent at another time when such legislation is brought to the fore. Consul Pearson. who has been named for the Persian mission, has been class cd among the ardent supporters of Sen ator Pritchard, “ihrough whose influence he entered the consular service. This recognition of the Tar Heel Senator, in giving one of his constituents an im portant diplomatic post at a time when he has been somewhat at odds with the Administration on the “Lily White" question, is noted with interest. The impression which has now gained ground regarding North Carolina politics is that the President will not refuse a re VALLEY OF NILE 10 B GRANARY OF EU Assouan Dam Marks Era for Egypt.

The latter had announced that he in tended to stand his ground and force the President to make the choice between a “Lily White” candidate, backed by a Republican Senator, or a colored man, given commendatory letters by Demeo erats. In view of Mr. Pearson's promotion, the opinion is current that the Senator may come to See more strength in the President's attitude in the Vick ease than he had previously noticed. It is not considered probable that the Sena tor will make any definite statement io this effect, but should the Vick nomi naiion gu to the Senate before the Pear fon promation, or even after, Mr. Pritch ard would hardly be In a position, it is suggested, tn attempt {to block its con firmation.

The general results of the rediscovery. of Venezuela are salutary. England, Germany, and the Usii=3 States are re vealed as acting together by preconcert ed arrangement in a spirit of mutual ac~ commodation and confidence, as they! mest always do in matters relating to the commercial welfare of the maritime’ world, Whether in China or tropical America, Eurcpean prejudice against the Monroe Doctrine has been instantly modified by the direct evidence that it affords no guarantee of protection against the con sequences of financial less and political anarchy. The recognition of the bear ings of the Monroe policy. once derided as a vagary of Yankee braggadocia, has been plain in both Germany and En gland, where every responsible journal accepts us a finality the conclusion that. the acquisition of new territory by any Juropean power is prohibited in the' Western Hemisphere. Views of Today. Even the book reviewers reflect this view, for today “Athenaeum.” in a well digested article on Beckles Willson's “New America” complains that the au ther's Canadian prejudice is too ap parent when he seems to argue against the Monroe Doctrine, and in faver of European intervention in South America. The “Atheneum' writer asserts that there is not the slightest practical chance of the United States allowing European conguest on the Americaa *ontinent, and that the Washington Gov ronment has ample power to make g ts views 2nd would receive British as sistance in so doing.

A number of bills are on the calendar the most important being that provid ing for the erection of a union station. It is probable that nearly the entire day will be spent in the discuseion of this measure. Members of the House Com mittee on the District who have had the bill in hand since its passage by the Senate at the last session are confident that it will be passed with a number of amendments, and that all that will re main to make it a law will be a confer ence agreement and the signature of the President. There is but littie doubt the bill will be debated on the floor.

These members, how ever, the District Committee feels con fident, can be won over to their way of thinking, and a majority sufficient to puss the bill is counted on. Chairman Babcock, of the District Committee, will probably lead in any debate that may arise. Besides the members of the committee, he will prob (ably be supported by Judge Jenkins, ‘chairman of the House Judiciary Com mittee, who in the week just ended re signed from the District Committee Judge Jeukins has taken an active in Jtenest in the union station bill and is as familiar with its provisions as any wember in the House. Whether the other District bills will i be brought up before the union station bill in an endeavor to gel them out of the way, or whether they will be con. sidered afterward, remains entirely with Chairman Babcock. A member of the District Committee when asked yes. terday about this question, replied tha its answer largely depended upon the humor of the House. “The House is pe culiar, he remarked, “and df its feel {ing in good spirits will pass mino measures without difficulty. If some thing has occurred that has upset it You may depend upon it that no matte how trifling nor how unimportant th bill may be, it is sure to be objecte to.” 1 The principal argument that will b ANAT 3 0 EIN Nie 7 Open Late Every Evening Till Amas. wr

The utility of the Pacific bleckade, moreover, has not teen demonstrated by the recent operations at Formosa, Crete, and Greece. The success of the expe dient in the case of Venezuela seems to depend upon the suspension of all neu tral commerce and the starving out of President Castro by depriving him of financial supplies from the customs.

German Navy Scored. Nearly all French papers recount what are accepted here as the violent acts the Germany navy was guilty of in China, and recently in Haiti. The “Matin says iL is by no means a glorious humani larian spectacle to see two huge obe lisks united to crush one little fly, and That there is nothing grandiose in point ing cannon at the door of a safe. The “Journal” publiskcs a long interview with Guzman Blanco, son of the cele brated Venezuelan statesman, who, ‘aware of the violent character of his compatriots, said he felt anxious about the late of the foreign residents in Vene zuela. Guzman Blanco said: “1 am regarded by Castro as one of ils avowed enemies, so, under the cir cumstances, I decline to express an Opinion of Castro, or of hie doings. He Is considered by England and Germany as the cause of Venezuela's present straits and bankruptcy. Castro has just relinquished the sequestration of my property in Venezuela, and is evidently striving to unite all his countrymen against foreign invaders.” On the other hand, the AngloGer man demonstration is in reality directed against the administration of Castro as distinguished from the Venezuelan na tion. The Duc de Morney, who bas traveled in the interior of Venezula, states that the nature of the country is such as it can readily be defended and made impregnable, and that Castro is neither a dipiomatist nor a man of in tellectual culture. But neither was Kruger a diplomatist nor a man of culture. The opinion is almost unani mous here that the eventual solution will come in the form of arbitration by President Roosevelt, not immediately, but later on, after the German commo dore has made a few more blunders.

STATESMEN STRUGGLE WITH TRUST QUESTION Subcommittee on Judiciary Expected to Recommend Bill Providing for Extreme Publicity. Mr. Sulzer of New York Says Ihat He Is in Line With the President in One Matter, at Least. Actual work on a bill which, if passed is expected to regulate and curd the ope rations of trusts and ye' not disturb the business of legitimate corporations, no matter how large, was begun yesterday by the subcommittee of five of the House Committee on Judiciary. Six members of the House, who have introduced measures which they are con fident will remedy all existing evils of the modern industrial situation, and whose bills provide for legislation rang ing from the .nere appropriation of money to aid the Attorner General in his present fight under the Sherman act, i0 drastic methods of compelling corpo ration officers to lay bare any secret transactions under pain of contempt and consequent imprisonment, appeared be fore the committeemen, Mr. Littlefield Presides. Of the six Representatives, three were Republicans and three Democrats. The Republicaps were Representatives FEd ward Mirrell of Pennsvivania, Henry OC. Smith of Michigan, and J. H. Gllleit of Massachusetts. The Democrats were A, G. Shallenberger of Nebraska, Willinm Sulzer of New York, and J. OC. Bell of Colorado. Mr. Littlefield of Maine. who alse has a bill providing for the regulation of trusts, and who is chairman of the sul commitiee, presided, having returned in time from his recent trip te Portland, where he accompanied the body of former Speaker Reed The other mem bers of the subcommittee were Messrs, Overstree. and Powers of Massachu setts, Republicans, and Ide Armond and Clayton, Democrats. Each legislator whq appeared was questioned at length by the committee men and the hearing lassed from 16:20 until nearly 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Then adjournment was taken until Tuesday morning. As far ag could be judged from the questions propounded by the various members of the comnsttee they are in clined to favor a measure that will pro vide for publicity of trust dealings and for an appropriation to enable the At torney General to carry on his work in the same manner as were the procead ings against the meat combine, ‘only on a bigger scale. That the Republican members are against changing the tariff seemed evident, while the President's plan for a commission bas apparently not received their unqualified indorse ment. Of course# whatever action the subcommittee may recommend may be entirely changed by the complete Com mittee on Judiciary when it receives the minor body's report. Had Executive Sanction. The first man to appear before the subcommittee was Representative Mor rell of Penasylvania. He has intro duced a resolution to appropriate 2250 000 to be expended under the direction of the Attorney General for the purpose of enforcing the anti-trust law now on the statute books and others which may hereafter be enacted. Mr. Morrell an nounced that the Attorney General fa vored his resolution, and that President Roosevelt had suthorized him to say that he also is favorable to it. Mr. Morrell was closely examined by Mr. Oversireel as to the necessity for such an apprepriation. Mr. Overstreet miade it plain that in his view the At. torney General ie already endowed with sufficieni power in the premises. Mr, Morrell shed no additious! light on the subject, excep: to =ay that the Atior ney General did net pow have zufficient fonds al his dispose), Mr, Gillet of Massachusetts made a brief argument [n advocacy of the meas sre introduced by him providing for the econfiscaiion and forfeiture to the United States of trusi-made goods In transpor tation from ene Btate to another or to a foreign country, The measure fixes a penalty not exceeding five years’ impris onment and $20,006 fine, or beth, for vlo lation. Mr. Gillett though! such a law wou. e an elleciive means of pre ven'ing manufacturers from making combinations in restraint of trade. Advocates an Amendment. Henry C. Smith (Rep., Mich.) adve cated an amendment to the Constitu tion conferriag spon Congress power to define, regulate, prohibit, and dissolve, If need be, ‘rusis and combinations. The adoption of the resolution. he said, would deter the formation of bad trusts. Representative Bhallenberger of Ne braska explained bia bill, the purpose of which Is to create a commission t¢ investigate questions perteluing to the formation of trusts and ‘0 report the re sults of thelr investigations t¢ Congress. A lengthy disclission ensued between Representative Shalleaberger and Repre sentative Littlefield ae to whether re. ports of corporations should be glven 1¢ the public or be only known to the De partment of Justice. Mr. Littlefleld was of the opinion thet unless the public wae (nformed, it would continue to blind ly eld in floating large corporations with watered stock, and thus aid the trusts, Mr. Sulzer (Dem., N. Y.) submitted an argument on his bill, introduced Thurs day, providing for the creation of a bu reau of corporations under the Inter state Commerce Commission, to which interslate corporeifons shall be required to make reporis showing ithe exact con dittons of their business, and also whether or not they have received draw backe or rebates from common carriers. A system of examinations is also pro vided. With the President. “I am in line today with the Presi dent of the United States in dealing with the trust question,” he said. “I want Congress to do something in line with his recommendations. 1 want 10 see results.” Mr. Sulzer said the problem before the committee was how to find proof of the violation of the laws of the country by trusts, His bill, he said, would not conflict with the present anti-trust laws, but would merely enable them to be carried out. He nmaintained thar there was no law which would prevent the examiners pro vided in his bill from securing deposi tions of corporation officers and exam ining the books of companies, similar to the methods of bank examiners. In case corporation officers refused to give testimony or submit books, contempt proceedings could be resorted to to com pel! such information. AGGURATE HARKSREN NEEDED IN THE GUARD The President Lends Ap proval to Militia Bill. A conference which is expecled to lead to securing good results for the national guard organizations of the various States and, through them, for thes United States Army, was held at the White House oflices late yesterday afternoon. Presi dent Rooseveli had in conference with him four men who have been active In urging a higher standard of marksman ship in the ranks of the citizen sol diery. These callers, who were Intro guced by Col. William Cary Sanger, Assistant Secretary of War, were Gen. Bird W. Spencer, of New Jersey, presi dent of the National Rifle Association: Col. E. J. Dimmick, Capt. H. Os Aspin ‘wall, and J. A. Haskell. The subject under discussion i= one in ‘which the President takes deep personal interest, and the general idea of the plans suggested by his callers met with his hearty approval. It is probable that the gentlemen named will submit some plan which will embrace all the fen tures already suggested in previous dis ‘cussions, and that action by Congress on the new plan will be asked. It fs understood that the militia bill now before Congress wiil be made stronger in several important particu lars if these plans carry. The projectors of this movement point to the fact that the great value of accuracy in firing was shown by the navy at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war. It is equally important, they urge, that ths citizen soldiery, from which the army must be recruited in times of confilc’, should be perfected in marksmanshin in time of neaca PATRONESSES FOR GENTLEWOMAN'S SALE Prominent Persons Who Will Sell Arti cles in Behalf of a Worthy Charity.

They were authors of design No. 3, decided upon by the com mittee on Friday Committee's Report. The report follows: “We respectfully report that we have carefully examined and compared the twelve sets of drawines submitted in competition for your municipal build ing. We recommend that the authors of the design marked No. 3, be appointed architets for tho new municipal build ing. “We submit that it is evident from a consideration of all the designs that en tirely satisfactory plans for a District Building cannot be made for a lot of such small dimensions; that it is neces sary for the stricture to be six storiea high “We (herefore recommeni that, if possible. a larger lot be secured, so that the building need not be mo'e than four stories high, in which case we are satis fied by the character of their work, the architects selected are competent to make an entirely satisfactory design. “The amount of the appropriation is evidently inadequate to secure the con struction of the number of cubic feet re quired for your building, unless the ex terior walis are plain brickwork, and the interior finish is that of a factory.” The report was signed by ihe nemo of the committee of award, Geerze 1 Post, D. H. Burnham, Roberi. S. ea body, John Biddle, and James Knox Tay lor. Upon receipt of the report the com mission, consisting of the Secreiary cf the Treasury, the three District Come missioners, and Mr. Taylor, their pro fessional adviser, opened the envelojce marked No. 3, and fcuud the name of the firm of Cope Stewardson given as the authors of the design accepied. 4 To Draft New Design. The commissicn then entered into a long discussicn of the situation, and de cided to frame a report setting ferth the facts and submit it to the cethmittees of the District in Congress. In the mean time the architects will be requested to draft a new design four stories high, containing the same features as the pians submitted, to be built within the appropriation. Such a building would be of brick and would have much less space inside than the plans of the commissicn contemplated. The facts will be laid before Congress and the commission will ask for instructicns as to how to pro ceed under the circumstances. what The main facts brought out by the ar chitects are that the ‘powerhouse site” THE WASHINGTON TIMES, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14. 1902 is too small to admit of a building such as is needed for the home of the District government, unless jt is built six sto ries high above the basement and sub basement. Anothcor important consid eration is that the amount of money avallable Is too small to build anything tut the plainest kind of structure. “ith Further Appropriation. The co mmission hopes that when these facts ere presented to Congress it will, at least, appropriate enongh money to notruct a suitable building on the site aoquiced, or that it will provide a large crouvzh fund io acquire the square back of the one purchased and make the structure only four stories high, giving ihe architects opportunity to treat the exterior according to the classical mod els, to correspond with the principal public buildings already in existence.

It 1s understood that the report ofthe commission, with the new design, will be ready for submission to Congress im mediately after the holidays. pow While the committee of award 2nd the building commissicn are well pleased with the design selected, regret was fell that a local architect was not success ful in winning the prize. It was said unofficially that the plans of two local men were considered by the committee and were regarded as next to the one chosen in point of excellence. MAJOR GLENN'S SECOND TRIAL BEGINS MONDAY Asks That Generals Chaffee and Smith Be Subpoenaed as Witnesses. resid MANILA, Dec. 13.—The court-martial for the second trial of Major Edward T. Glenn, of the Fifth Infantry, on charges of cruelty to natives in the Samar cam paign, will assemble on Monday. Major Glenn has requested that Major General Chaffee, and Brig. Gen. Jacob Smith, retired, be subpoenaed as wit nesses. He has also asked that all the correspondence and orders relating to the campaign in Samar be produced. Major Glenn claims that General Chaf fee has publicly and officially approved General Smith's order to “burn and kill” in Samar. CANNOT REMOVE POLE The District Commissioners will in form William A. Mills, of 1211 Eleventh Street southwest that they cannot grant his request relative to the removal of 2a pole in front of the premises named. Thomas J. Fisher, Inspector of Electric Lighting, says that the pole will not interfere either with a lamp or light. He finds that the complainant will be no more inconveniepced than the south neighbor. The cement walk has already been cut for the erection of the pole and he recommends that the pole remain in its intended location. MES.

In the meantime Mrs. Cooke will remain in the custody of her husband, who a week ago gave bond to preduce her in court when required to do so. Mrs. Cooke was before her marriage Miss Grace E.

f UNCLE SAM'S ANNUAL GRAB-BAG NOW READY Yearly Sale of Unclaimed Articles Lost in the Mails to Be Held Tomorrow. The annual sale of articles lost in the United States mail will begin tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at Sloan's and continue until the lot is disposed of. The simple announcement that the aue tion will take place has a great deal of meaning, not to say grim humor, in it.

The interest which yeariy attends these sales is remarkable, to say the least. Many people who would scorn to “take a grab" at a church fair when the indulgence costs but five cents, will disentangle themselves from Jollars in an effort to draw what they believe will be the prize package of the dssortment.

The same rule natural iy applies to the fair sex and a chic young maid may be quickly converted into a human exponent of sour anples when she find that her neat little pack age is a pair of formidable boxing gloves or a box of bad cigars. The attraction of the sale, neverthe less, lies in this same mysterlousness. ‘Should everybody know what is in each ‘package, the conclusion would be reach ed that the articles were not of so much value after all, and nine-tenths of the bidders, especially members of the gen tier sex, would hie themselves to a near by notion store, and purchase the same thing for 99 cents.

The Republicans of the Ways and Means Committee, and of the Finance Committeq will probably hold a confer ence some time in the coming week over a proposed tariff commission. It is said these committee members are strongly opposed to naming a commission of this character, and if they do agree, it will be one composed of their own political faith. Discussion of the immigration bill will be resumed in the Senate, and will like ly be pushed to an early vote. The pub lic hearings before the Senate commit tee were concluded Friday, and, as a re sult, the committee will offer many amendments to the House bill, but at the same time will not press some of those already proposed if it appears that they are likely to endanger the passage of the measure. Among these is the educational test clause, which ig much desired by the burean of immigration. The bureau agrees, however, that it is better tg¢ sacrifice the clause than to imperil the bill in becoming a law. The Committee on the Judiciary will meet tomorrow morning, at which time the nomination of Morgan H. Beach to be United States Attorney for the Dis trict of Columbia will be called up for consideration. Opposition kas developed in the committee to a favorable report on this nominatiom, and it is understood friends of Mr. Beach will go before the committee in his behalf. Of all the matters under consideration by the Senate last week but one Im portant measure was passed. This was the bill providing for compensation and payment of expenses of the members of the anthracite coal strike conmmission. The bill was thoroughly discussed and generously amended before passage.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y., Dec. 13.—Ae cording to the decision of the machinery building section of the trades assembly, which met last night, a general strike will be ordered in the works of the Gen eral Electric Company on Monday morn ing unless the company consents to the reinstatement of Edward Utting, secre tary of the Trades’ Assembly, business agent of the Serewmakers' Union, and third vice president of the International Association of Aliled Metal Mechanics. A committee was appointed to wait upon S. G. Emmons, the general man ager of the works, this afternoon, and ‘demand the reinstatement of Utting. If this is refused it is declared that a gen eral strike will be ordered. The announcement is made by an of= ficial of the company that several hun dred men are to be laid off in the works this week.

Personally Placed Under Arrest,

Frank H. Tyree, a member of the Se cret Service Bureau, recently detailed by Chief Wilkie as one of the President's bodyguards, is a native of West Vir ginia and tells many interesting stories of the Little Mountain State. For a numbers of years he was chief of police of Huntington, W. Va., and in that ca pacity became well acquainted with the Hatflelds, of feud fame. tT 4 Hi

The Hatfields live in the mountains of Mingo county, in that State. To protect themselves from the McCoys, with whom they fought so long. they built a verit able fort on the mountain side. When attacked or sought by officers of the law, the entire family jodged themselves in this place and for months defied their pursuers, 1 H 1

Ellas Hatfield, son of the famous “Devil Anse,” was arrested for an al leged violation of the law, but was dis charged when arraigned before a justice of the peace. Doc Ellis, a deputy sheriff, served the .warrant on young Hatfield one day while the lad was making some purchases at Dingess, a little railroad town in Mingo county. This angered Hatfield and he swore vengeance. 1

After he had been released by the Justice of the peace, Hatfield returned home. As he left the court room he made a threat to Ellis and told him he would get even for arresting him. The deputy replied in an angry tone and said: “I'll get you yet.” “Not if I see you first,” repli.:1 young Hatfield. Friends then lead the young man away.

Enameled Beds; a 1 later he chanced to be at Dingess, when Deputy Sheriff Ellis arrived in town on a Norfolk and Western train. Hatfield stood on the station platform watching ‘the people gel on and off the train.

Shot at Each Other. “Dec Ellis sat in the rear coach. He saw Hatfield on the platform and walked to the coach door. Stung over Hatfield's shoulder was a Winchester rifle. The moment young Hatficld saw Ellis he quickly threw the rifle from his shoulder and prepared for battle. Ellis ran back to his seat in the coach and picked up his Winchester rifle. “Hurrying io the door, he drew his gun and peinted it at young Hatfield. Al ‘most simultaneousiy young Hatfield piaced his gun to his shoulder and fired. The bullet passed along ihe deputy's eft arm and entered his neck. Falling to the coach platform, he expired in stantly. XEliis fired the same time as Hatfield, but his bullet went wide of the mark. This was due, no doubt, to Hat field's bullet strik.ng Eilis’ elbow a second belore Ellis fired. “Hatfield hurried to the one little gro cery store, where his horse was tied, and rode home. Mingo county officers hunt ed for the murderer, but failed to find ‘him. He was later located in the Hat ‘field fort, but not a man in Mingo county had the nerve to walk up the mountain side to arrest him. “Knowing the governor of the State, George W. Atkinson, ‘Devil Anse.’ the ‘boy's father, wrote him tellicg him he would surrender the boy to the law if the governor would come personally for him. This the governor did. His pri vate secretary, Gen. E. LL. Boggs, ac companied him. Arrested by Governor. “Arriving at a little railroad station near the Hatfield settiement, the gov ernor and his secretary ail~hted from the train and were met by tbh. father of the young murderer. They accompanied him home. Elias could not be seen about the place and Governor Atkinson asked for the young man. ‘He'll be here, all right,’ said Devil Anse." ‘I'l have him for you in time to catch the train.” After breakfasting, General Boggs left the house to enjoy a short walk on the mountain side, while the father left to bring the boy home. The general walked along the mountain until he came to a particularly rugged place. Retracing hig steps, he ‘tlimbed up the mountain some distance until his way was again impeded by a gigantic boulder. “Thinking to find a smoother path, he proceeded to walk around it. Just as he rounded the peint of the rock, he ran into the muzzles of two fiercelook ing Winchesters. There stood the two Hatfields—father and son—with guns ready for use. For a moment, the gen eral could not gpeak. The elder Hatfield recognized him, however, and both guns were lowered. “The three returned to the house. Young Hatfield handed the governor his rifle and cartridge belt filled with am munition. To prevent any attempt at taking the young man’s life, Governor Atkinson took the boy to Huntington and turned him over to me. When he reached there, the lad was a picture of health, “Long auburn hair fell in curly locks to his shoulders. He had the constitu tion of a Sandow. He asked gor a bar ber, and had his hair ent short. 1 pro tested, but he insisted, saying the town boys would ‘guy’ him. He was a model prisoner, but the close confinement toid severely on him. Ten Years in Prison. “He was tried immediately, and sen tenced io ten years in the penitentiary at Mcundsville. The moment he passed within the walls of that institution, he began to iose flesh. In six months, he developed consumption, and grew rapid ly worse. His friends learned of it, and a united effort was made to have him liberated. A petition was framed, and thousands signed it. “Young Hatfield grew continually worse, and was taken from his cell to the hospital. His friends begged the governor to pardon him, and let him reach his little mcuntain home before he died. The physicians at the peniten tiary were consulted. They said it woud only a question of a short time un til his death. “The governor feit kindly for the boy's family, for he had known them for years. He granted the pardon, and the boy was released. So serious was his condition he could not sit up, and the ride of 300 miles was taken on a cof in the bag gage car. The boy was met at the lit tle station by the devoted father, and ‘toted’ home on his back. “Instead of dying, the mountain air worked wonders on the boy. In six months, he regained his former health and became stronger than ever. The prison worked wonders on the boy's character, too, for he became one of the county's trusted citizens. Today, he occupies thc position held by his vie tim, Doc Ellis, and is the sheriff's most trusted and fearless deputy.” ce. vn ASHINGTON TIMES, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11. 1902. HOUL-Be DETECTIVES HAUNT READQUARTERS H City Othcials Kept Busy “Turning Them Down.” APPLICANTS’ QUEER IDEAS

Dime Novel Enthusiasts Amuse Offi cials of Police Department. Modes of Procedure. The “natural born detective” haunts Police Headquarters. Major Sylvester and Captain Beardman nearly every day receive applicaticns for positions on the Metropolitan force from men utterly inexperienced in the police and detective business, but possessed of a luxuriant confidence in their power to cope with the shrewd and hardened ovildoor A Verdant Specimen. A few days ago a particularly verdant specimen of the *‘natural bern detec tive” appeared. According to his own confession, he had been over two hours in finding his way ito Headquarters, and on arriving there, through the directions of a bootbiack, he could not give a clear idea as to whom he wished to interview. A member of the ’orce asked the ap pliant about three questions and then abruptly inquired what experience and qaalifieafions he had for a position as detective. The new arrival's lower jaw fell and a look of amazement spread over his features that the real detective on the other side of the counter had guess ed what he was after. He then “got off” the old one about being a “natural born detective.” The man at the desk had heard that before and he sent the expectant man to the Sealer of Weights and Measures to have his lungs tested. Somebody near the office of the sealer told the appli cant that all detectives started life by selling fish in the Center Market, so as to become acquainted with descendants of the pirates who are plowing the oys ter fields below Mount Vernon. “Natural born detectives” are gener Ries NMIOUUTUIVM Betas Vs tris sent out by various alleged detective cgencies. According to the fiterature cf these concerns, every neighborhood is a mine of detective talent, and about all anyone neeus to become a skilled and affluent detective is te read the di rections, buy from “sleuth” headquar ters a few strands of “mule hair mus tache,” and learn the use of pokeberries and phospherus. All the great gtant killers of crime have been jerked into preminence in about three weeks by ttese agencies, quoth the circulars.

A “natural born detective” is expert in the use of the terms and phrases heard and seen nowhere except in de teciive stories and on the melodramatic ttage. He thinks all detectives are mys terious, and work according to the books. He will not believe that the business like, common-sense, pleasant-spoken men about Headquarters are detectives.

i s They have no earmarks of the pro fession, and the use of the words “sleuth,” “trail,” “scent,” ‘villain, “ferret,” ete., do not occur to them. He marvels that the detectives are not drilled in the construction and use of trapdoors and secret springs, and is sur prised to learn that they never wear false whiskers or get any more clothes than the average citizen. To him the idea that a man in whom the detective spirit dwells must be bound by regula tions and serve an apprenticeship carry

ing a club about town in the day time is roousnant A reporter asked a detective recently what became of the “natural born’ de tectives. He said they generally got

over it, though occasionally sudden death as a result of meddling in other people's affairs ended their careers. In sparsely settled parts of the country, where people are to a large extent their own policemen and detectives, the “nat ural born” is sure to get into trouble. He ranks in the affections of the people with the revenue officers and deserters from the army, and the shooting season is open for him all the year round. 1

3 It is his practice to stand about the churches and saw mills and put on a mysterious look and talk about his ox perience with the criminal classes. He has a lot of circulars giving descrip tions of great criminals that will fit almost anybody. Armed with a $1.25 @is guise, he follows some peaceable and law-abiding citizen who happens to be How It Ends. H out at night. Reaching a dark and “ghosty” spot he halts the citizen and discharges the detective formula. The citizen has no speech to make, and he unlimbers his artillery with the re sult that a shining light of the detec tive world goes out. The “natural born detective” crop is perennial, and re peated frosts from the real detectives and well-disposed neighbors .ave little offeart

“Incurable Sonsumption” CURED! “I know I had an incurable disease in my lungs. Physicians and medicine fail ed to relieve my cough. I realized that all of my symptoms pointed toward consumption.

“As I was losing weight and strength very fast, I decided to go to the Koch Lung Cure doctors, at 730 Eleventh Street northwest, Washington, who make a specialty of consumption and asthma. I was tired of taking medicine into my stomach, for it did me no good. In fact, I never improved until I begen to breathe the healing oily vapors of the Koch Lung Cure directly inte my lungs, “After starting this treatment all my bad symptoms disappeared. I gained in every way, until today I am the picture of health, having been entirely cured by the Koch Lung Cure, at 730 Eleventh Street northwest, Washington.

WALL STREET TRYING TO FORCE SECRETARY SHAW Wants Similar Relief to That Given Money Market Two Months Ago. Desire to Place Municipal and Other Bonds to in crease Circulation. Wall Street is endeavoring to force Secretary Shaw to come to its rellef in a manner similar to the assistance he gave two months ago when he agreed to accept municipal and other bonds in order to enable the banks to increase their circulation. J There are at present deposited securi tiles of this class to the amount of ap proximately $142.000,000, yet Wall Street is clamoring for more. This action of the Secretary was taken prior to the elec tion and resulted in relleving the stringency of the money market for a time. The recent heavy movement in stocks and a series of contingencies which has arisen within the past two weeks have brought about a condition of affairs somewhat similar to that which confronted the money market during the latter part of October. The increased ex port trade, the large liquidation of se curities that has been brought about and the preparations already made by the banks to meet the usual endofthe year payments have combined to em barrass the situation, and Wall Street demands more money.

The Customs Receipts. Under the law the Secretary of the Treasury bas no authority to divert the customs receipts, which are paid dai rectly into the subtreasuries, and can only be taken out of the Treasury by appropriation of Congress. Hence the only reilef within the province of Sec retary Shaw to extend is to allow the receipts from internal revenue to re main in the banks designated as Govern ment depositories, and permit the banks to deposit securities against these, upon which to increase their circulation, as was done two months ago. Secretary Shaw is, however, not dis Edna di i Ent aa EI So a _ B® a a a a a a CN De a I, a ome 3 LANSBURGH BRO. s r ANSBURGH BRO LAYSESREE Ba EE a a a Ee LANSBURGH BRO. Poe rele, LANSBURGH BRO.

Not only did it bring upon him much erticism for a course which many believed to be a too liberal in terpretation of the law, but it is con tended that the condition of the Treas ury does not at present warrant any such procedure. Cash Balance Available. There was an available cash balance yesterday at the close of business of $207,128,420.21, but the working balance in the Treasury was only slightly in ex cess of $58,000,000. As it is the policy of the Treasury Department not to per mit this balance to fall below $50,000,000, Secretary Shaw does not see his way clear to take any steps to relieve the pressure which now exists in Wall Street, Treasury officials regard the present condition as one created entirely by Wall Street and decla that it is apparent that the demand tor money exists no where else throughout the country, as is made evident by the fact that no com plaint has come from any other section regarding a scarcity of currency with which to transact business. It is point ed out by Treasury officials that it is not unusual to have an increased de mand for money during the first two weeks of December, and that this time is frequently one of seriousness. So far as the money market and the stock mar ket are concerned, the reason is that the process of gathering funds for the use of the end of the year is most active, However, they profess to believe that the situation is rapidly clearing up, and that within a few days the stress will be over without any relief from the Treasury. To Do Nothing at Present. Whatever plan Secretary Shaw may be considering in this connection, it is stated positively he does nol contem plate doing anything at present in re ‘sponse to the demands of Wall Stréet— certainly he will not continue the plan of accepting other than Government bonds as security for circulation. He ‘regards the stringent situation of which Wall Street complains as an artificial one and for which Wall Street is wholly responsible. There has been some intimation that the purpose of Wall Street is to induce Secretary Shaw to purchase bonds in or der to place more money in circulation, but in view of the fact that his recent offer was not generally accepted he is not disposed to repeat it. up Great Holiday Saleof Here is a list of Dress and Waist Patterns that will make ideal Christmas gifts, and marked at unusually low prices, take in presenting such a gift, for they are always appreciated, and to make the Silks. 34-yd Patterns, $1.47 Handsomely boxed Silk Waist Pat terns, in white, with blue stripes, pink with white, lavender with white, etc. Values, $1.98, $2.19 4.yd Patterns, $2.19 Handsome Silk Walst Patterns, nicely boxed, consisting of plain Royal Taffetas, in all leading shades, Also figured Louisines. $2.89 4-yd Patterns, $2.89 Plald Silk Walst Patterns, In bright colors; some black and v-hite checks; b.ue and white, and green and white.

One day.... TROUBLES THAT BESET THE TELEPHONE GIRL Her Path Is Not Strewn With Roses, and She 1s Fre quently in Despair. None of the thousands of marvelous Inventions given to the people within past decades has shown more improve ment than the telephone. Had anyone been foolish enough to make the assertion twenty years ago that a person in Washington could con verse with another in New Orleans or in Bangor, Me. it would have been a sure sign of insanity, or at least the peo ple of those times would have declared him insane. It was difficult enough for the public to believe that NeSSAReS could be sent within the city limits by means of the telephone, but when it was announced that a person in one eity could communicate with a friend in an other, they were far more incredulous, and it is a fact that there are hundreds of people today who refuse to believe such a thing possible. Both the local telephone and the inter-city telephone are commonplaces in the daily life of a man who has business to atten. to. Improvements in Service. The improvements in the service are as wonderful as they are numerous, and the telephone instrument of today is no more like the one of ten years ago than the trans-Atlantic cable line is what the Marcon! system will be when in op eration. Although the telephone nowa days is considered marvelous in its up to-dateness by those who use it, it is said that within a few years there will be more changes that wil! make the pub lic open its eyes in wonderment. It is believed that wireless telephony is not very far off. Already with the new fashioned desk telephones, upon which each subscriber can conneet himself with any ‘phone in the city, the passing of the “hello” girl is augured. There are thousands of business men in Washington who use the telephone in preference to the telegraph, for obvious reasons. Principal among these is the absence of delay in answering. In some of the prominent business houses and brokers’ offices, the telephone bell is kept going “‘ting-a-ling-aling-aling” al most every minute. A man ho wishes his broker to close out his stock does not want to waste any time in getting word to him, for in a case of this sort minutes might mean dollars lost. There are hundreds of other cases where the telephone proves invaluable, such as in Wrappers.

DECEMBER 14. 1902. calls for ambulances, doctors, policemen, and fire apparatus. Ignorance of Users. But few of the thousands of persons who use the telephone daily know any thing about it, further than that the beli is rung, Central answers. they ask for the number and begin to talk with the party on the other end of the line. Others do not know that much. They see the wooden box and hard rubber re ceiver and mouthpiece on the wall, but would not know the first thing about us ing it. This ignorance on the part of telephone users is accountable for the numercus delays and words with “Cen tral” when the party on the other end of the line does not answer promptly. To those Initiated in the mysteries of telephony, principal among whom are the “hello” girls, telephony is just as interesting as botany is to the flower fancier or phrenology to those interest ed in “bumps.” The workings of the telephone when one person calls for a number over the central board is noth ing short of wonderful. The system is this: How Instrument Works. John Smith, at telephone No. 654, wishes to get James Jones, whose ‘phone number is 780. He goes to his telephone and rings the bell. He waits a few seec ornds, but does not know why he is wait ing. When Smith rings his bell a tiny iittle cover or lid drops down on Cen tral’s switchboard, and the number 654 is shown. This me:.ns to “Central” that some one at that number wishes to speak to some one else. She “plugs In” on 654 and asks “What number, please.” Smith replies that he wishes 780 on the main, east, or ~est exchange. Central places the second plug on Smith's circuit in No. 789, and presses the button on her board, which rings the bell at Jones’ places. When Jones answers, and the two be gin to talk, Central takes the other calls which come in on her board, five and six at a time, even when business is lagging. Sometimes a subscriber will ring his ‘phone several times before Central answers, and when she does an swer, he heats the wires with expres sions to which cold type would do an in justice. He, of course, believes that the “hello” girl Is not minding her busi ness, and that he is the only subscriber she has to look out for. In this he is mistaken, for each of the girls has a ir Christmas Shopping

board to operate, and on each there are upwards of 500 subscribers, who could all ring in on her beard at the same in stant if they wished to. What causes the delay is other calls have been received before this man's, and “Central” has to attend to one sub scriber before attempting to serve an other. It is true that seine of the girls have become so proficient that they can attend to about 300 subseribers and an swer six or eight at a time, but they cannot keep the work up long, because it destroys every particle of nerve force they possess and the long hours which they are compelled to work break down their constitutions before many months of service. Then, too, the “hello” girl's path is not strewn with reses. Some persons would imagine tha* answering calls ahd connecting one subscriber with another is easy work, but such is net the case. The telephone girl, in almest every case, endeavorsito get the party wanted as quickly as possible. Hardly any of the subscribers realize this and conse quently do not keep their ire confined within their bosoms, but shower things akin to impreeations upon the young woman %who is endeavoring to serve them. In speaking of the workings of a iele phone exchange, an assistant chief op erator recently said: “The duties of a chief operator are as varied as they are intricate. Her work is the management of the office, which i3 conducted somewhat op the order of a large schoolroom. The grown young ‘women who answer the subscribers’ cal s and make the connections respect the chiel operators as pupils regard the teacher at school. The Chief Operator. “When the chief operator hag inform ed the trouble man that his assistance is needed to fix a number of ‘phones which are out of order, received excuses from a number of the zirls who cannot work on that day because of a funerai or a marriage, checked over the hun dreds of reports from all branches of the service in which her department is in terested, and attended to the score of other duties, she has only commenced her day's work. “Quieting sensitive and high-strung young women, who cannot imagine why a subscriber should talk to them so gruffly, is one of the principal sources of worry. Although not all or a majority of the subscribers use abusive language over the wire, the number is large enough, Sometimes a subscriber will cause one of the supersensitive young operators to leave her board in tears, and then comes the demand for the ser vices of the chief operator, who must put her arms around the girl and comfort her, or talk to her severely or sensibly as the case may demand. ““The girl must be induced to go back to her board as quickiy as possible, and sometimes ¢oaxing does better than rep rimanding. If she loses very much time, another subscriber might ring up and lose his temper, and cause a fresh stream of briny tears.” GEN. REED’S PICTURES SOLD AT AUCTION Good Prices Obtained at Sale in New York Friday Night. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-—-The anction at which the late Gen. Charles M. Reed's pictures were sold in Delmonico’s ball room last evening brought a total of $29,220 for fifty-six paintings. It was the first art sale held at the Forty-fourth Street Delmonico’s, but if the grand ball room there can insure such prices as last nigat's sale brought forth it will be in demand among the auctioneers who sell paintings. Anthony N. Bray paid the highest fig ure of the evening for Schreyer's ““‘Ara Ladies’ Tailor. During the past season the great inerease in my business com pelled me to employ a large foree of tailors, whom I was fortunate in seenring from the dons of leading Ladies’ Tailors in New York. To secure these men I not only had to pay them phenomenally high wages—but had to gnarantee them steady employment. To comply with this arrangement, and to keep these men em ployed between seasons, I have decided to make a special reduction on all orders placed after January 1, 1903. New models for winter and early spring will be on display, and will be copied at astonish ingly low prices William Schwartz, Ladies’ Tailor and Importer, 1226 Fourteenth Street Northwest, Washington, D.

PROMOTIONS FROM THE RANKS UNSUCCESSFUL IN PRACTICE British Admiralty Contem plates Granting Commis sions to Deserving Petty Officers. Although two distinguished admirals, Sir Edward Freemantle and Sir John Hopkins, bave indorsed the bill which Lord Selbourne, as head of the English navy department, is about to submit to parliament providing for the annual grant of a certain number of commis sions to petty and warrant officers, the project Is certain to meet with opposi tion. The opposition Is expected to come from before the mast, rather than from the quarterdeck. The schame appeals to those demo cratic tendencies which progress and enlightenment are developing even in the minds of the aristocracy and royslty of the Olid World, It ie doubtful, how ever, whether it will be popular with the very class of men for whose benefit it is devised, and whom it is intended to encourage. In fact, it promises to prove just as difficult to eperate with any degree of satisfaction or success in the marine as in the military forces of the empire. Unsuccessful in the Army. It has been tried in the English army, and the resuits have not been such as to encourage the application of these methods of promotion to the navy. In the first place the men resent subjection to the orders of one who is not in their eyes to the manner born, who belongs to the same plane in the social system as themselves, and who, realizing that his social status is questioned by those under his command, is apt to treat them with more hauteur, stifiness and even severity than the officer who is known to have blue blood in his veins. The aristocrat can afford to be genial and familiar with his men without ex posing himself to any risk that they would take undue advantage thereof in a manner detrimental to the interests of discipline. The officer, however, who has been promoted from the ranks, and who is a gentleman by training rather than by birth, is differently situated. In order to maintain the respect due to his military rank, he is compelled to hold aloof from all intimacy and good fellowship with his former comrades, which, if encouraged, would quickly lead them to forget the respect due to his grade in the army. Moreover, having served in the ranks, he is acquainted with all the shortcomings of his former THE STORE FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

In illustration attention is called to instances of exaggerated punishment and of maltreatment of soldiers in the Ger man and French armies which have in vited the attention of the military au thorities at Berlin and at Paris, as well as of the public in recent years. The guilty parties have in every instance been noncommissioned officers, that is to say, men belonging to the same social sphere as their victims. So thoroughly is this condition of af fairs appreciated in Germany, recog nized as possessing the finest military organization in the world, that it is rare that a corporal or a sergeant re ceives promotion to the rank of com missioned officers. If they receive the epaulet, it 1s generally on the under standing that it involves transfer {rom the army to the constabulary. Von Moltke’s Opinion. No one was more firm in his con viction that the officers of the army should be recruited exclusively from the upper classes of soelety than the famous Field Marshal Count von Moltke. He declared, when Gladstone abolished, in 1870, the system of disposing of com missions: in the army by sale that Eng land had “given up what was best in her military establishment.” His idea was that the change involved the abandon ment of the method by which the sclec tion of officers had been restricted to the gentry. This view of the greatest master of the art of war of the nineteenth cen tury applies just as much to the navy as to the army. There have been some instances in the past where deserving petty officers of the English navy have been advanced to the rank of licutenant as a reward for long and meritorious service. But they have in no instance proved a success, failing to command the good will or the respect of the men before the mast. After a brie! experi ence they have either been placed on the retired list or else transferred t« the coast guard department. So far this explains only the opposition of the rank and file to the plan of grant ing commissions to petty and warran officers. Added to the difficilty experi enced by the men thus promoted is tha of maintaining the regard and good will of their men, indispensable to their effi clency as commanders. For whereve an officer is out of touch with those under his orders and is unable to rely upon their cordial and loyal coopera tion, the service invariably suffers. Another View of Case. There ig another aspect of the case namely, the relations of the officers pro. moted from the ranks with those whe have received their commissions on firs THE TIMES. WASHINGTON, SUNDAY. DECEMBER 14. 1902. Experiences of the Armies and Navies of the World Against Project—QOpposi tion From the Men.

Joining. In the English navy, as has Just been stated, the cases of pron:-‘ion of this kind have been =o few and the officers in question have so soon either retired or been transferred to a berth ashore, that it is difficult to speak from experience, But the English army furnishes quite ‘a number of {llustrations which may be applied to the marine forces of the empire. This does not refer to the so called “gentlemen rankers,” mostly young fellows of good families and of means who have enlisted as privates after having failed at the competitive ‘examinations for commissions, with the object of eventually becoming officers by means of promotion. Nor is 1fer ence made to those honorary comn‘is sions granted on their retirement to riding masters, band masters, etc., In order to enable them to enjoy in p1'vate life the prestige and status of a lieu tenancy. But the officers here discussed are those who, of humble birth and without any exceptional advantages of education, have won a commission by some gallant deed or by long and meritorious service. There is one notable exception In Gen. Sir Hector MacDonald, who started life as an errand boy in a village shop in Scotland, was a sentry outside the tent of King Edward when the latter visited India as Prince of Wales twenty-seven years ago, and who is now a general, commanding one of the military districts in India—a typical Scotchman, of rare force of character. The position of the officers promoted from the ranks, with this exception, has been one not only painful to themselves, but likewise to their messmates, no matter how kindly the latter may have been disposed to ward them. It is rare that an officer of a regiment would voluntarily do anything to make a comrade promoted from the ranks feel that he did not enjoy the advantages of birth and of education. In the instances of officers thus promoted that have come under notice, they have been treated with the utmost consideration and deli cacy by their comrades. They themselves, however, ere the first to feel that they belong to a different so cial sphere, to u different carte, that not only their birth, but llkew!se their en tire training, have been of a different character; that they are unable to see matters from the same point of view as those among whom their lot is east, and that they have neither the same tastes nor the same prejudices, nor yet ‘he same advantages of education. The conse quence is that they are never at ease, but constrained, reserved, and unconge nial; discouraging, perhaps unintention ally, the advances made toward them. When they happen to be married, or even if they have relatives visiting them, the situation becomes still more difficult. As a rule, the wives of the officers of a regiment form, so to speak, a clique or set of their own, like some big fam ily, and it is not always possible to In troduce with success into such a little world as this 2a woman devoid of the ad vantages of birth and breeding. The result of all this is that whén an officer has risen from the ranks, he sel dom remains for any length of time with his regimeni, but socn seeks some sep arate assignment which wiil have the ef fect of enabling him to get away from his fellow-oilicers and from their fami lies, condemned in that case to lead a life vet more solitary, since his rank as a commissioned officer and the care which he is obliged to exercise to dis courage any familiarity on the part of the men under his command compel him to refrain from holding with them anything but strictly cflicial intercourse. American Officer's Views. An argument, uncharitable and un kindly, but true, was put forward a cou ple of years ago by an American flag of ficer, now dead, against the promotion ‘of a warrant officer to the rank of lien tenant in the navy. In the marine forces of the United States, as in those of Great Britain, the epaulets of an officer have until now been a~ecepted, both at home and abroad, as an assurance that the wearer was a gentleman cf birth, breed ing, and education, and he has been wel comed everywhere a8 such on the strength of this. The epaulet will cease to constitute ‘a passport if it befomes known that it is granted to men promoted from before the mast, and who do nct have that knowledge and experience of the ways oi the world nor yet that breeding which ba is accustomed to lodk for in every Det. Fa one of the raval officers of Uncle Sam ‘and of John Bull. While there are many officers of the reserve forces on the Continent of bour geois birth who owe their commissions to the fact that they were able, as grad nates of the national schools, to limit their obligatory military service to the term of one year, and at the end of that time to pass an examination as an officer of the reserve force, yet there are zt the present moment extremely few officers in any of the Continental armies of hum ble origin who may be described as hav ing been promoted from the ranks. In Germany, Austria, and, in fact, all over the Continent, the officers who have adopted soldiering as a profession and who form part of the standing army, are jas a rule men of biyth and education. This is especially the case in Germany. In France, too, the old saying about each private having in his knapsack the baton of a field marshal can no longer be said to apply to the conditions of the present time. The officers of the stand ing army are nearly every one of them graduates of St. Cyr Soumur and of the other military colleges, and today more than ever in republican France, as ir monarchical Germany, the educational and also social qualifications of com manding officers are required to be of such a high order as to render alto gether inexpedient the practice in vogue during the first half of the nineteenth century of ‘promotion from the ranks.” EX-ATTACHE. x a reT,yy 3

31] MITCHELL AGAIN ON STAND 1 3 4 Declares the Organization Is Able to Enforce Terms of Contract Upon Members. s +13 ps i

SCRANTON, Pa., Dec. 13.—By keep ing the strike commission in session up to nearly 5 o'cleck this aiternoon Mr. Darrow succeeded in introducing practi cally all the evidence that the miners have to offer in concluding their case. He may detain the commission for an hour or two on Monday, he said. H 3 The Delaware and Hudson Company will be the first of the respondents to introduce testimony. It is expected, however, that a recess until after the holidays will be asked. This the com mission is averse to granting if there is a possible chance to go on. The first witness this morning was A. Schoettell, of Hazelbrook. a miner for the Wentz Company. He testified that the company houses near him looked like barns; they were very cold in win ter. He had often been injured jin the mines. His average pay was about 318 in two weweks, FS pe ge 4 316 H The witness further said that many men are idle because, owing to the strike of steam men, three levels at the mine were flooded, and only one has been pumped out to date. Mitchell on the Stand. John Mitchell was called to the stand for cross-examination by Mr. Torrey. He explained that when he said that the bi tuminous mine workers received from 40 to 50 per cent more for a day's work than anthracite men, he meant the men who were paid by the day. He was not sure that the figures he possessed with regard to the soft coal workers were ac curate.

pi é Mand 1 4 (0) 7 33 Mr. Mitchell thought that shorter hours increased the efficiency of labor about 20 per cent. Here followed a dis cussion between Mr. Torrey and the wit ness relative to the figures showing the wages of the bituminous men that the representatives of the miners had pre pared.

He said, however, that he had a right to veto the action of the convention de caring the strike, and had not done so. He thought that his offer to arbitrate took much of the respoasibility for the strike off his shoulders. Lee 4 oH é AE y 00 000000000000 y M mimes itm Y Mr, Burns then took Mr. Mitchell in hand, and asked: 4 $s ue I$ 4 |4 4 “If the coal operators should make a contract with you, as the head of your organization, and one of the provisions of that coptract should be that the men under your control would not in any way interfere with the non-union men employed at the mine, could you enforce that part of the contract?” i P4900 00000009 000000000000 i i

MEREDITH'S PROMPT ACTION Chief Engineer Blatchley Recommends Iron Bands and Metal Cap. Fears Allayed. The promptness with which Director Meredith yesterday began investigation of the tall chimney at the Bure.su of Engraving and Printing, which is said to be in a dangerous condition, has done much to quiet the feeling of unrest that had arisen among the employes and their friends.

While Mr. Meredith and his chief en gineer, C. A. Blatchley, both expressed confidence In the stability of the struc ture, they lost no time in arranging for a thorough examination to determine If {it requires strengthening. This is one of the largest brick stacks In the city. It was erected nearly nine years ago, subsequent to the close of Mr. Mere dlth's first term as director of the bu roan Within a few months after this a crack appeared In the face of the stack on the side next Fourteenth Street. It rapidly extended around and upward on the side adjoining the main building. An expert examination disclosed that it was but a superficial crevice, probably due to the too rapid heating of the bricks and partly to inferior mortar used. The experts then agreed that if there was no further extension it would not affect the stabiilty of the structure. 3 Recently there has been an extension of the fissure in the wall of the tower, which now measures between 35 and 40 feet in length. It begins about 110 feet from the ground and extends to within fifty feet of the top. The enlargement of the crevice has been noted not alone by the employes, but by passers-by on the street, among them several promi nent business men of the city. Several of the latter yesterday said that they had detected smoke issuing from the fissure. 4 6 If they were not mistaken in this matter, this would indicate that the damage had penetrated the entire thick —DMade of Solid Quarter-sawed Oak, with saddle (not cane seat) ir —a pattern used extensively in the Government buildings.

As the dam age is on the side next the main build ing of the Bureau, any fall would be in that direction, with the most thickly populated portion of the building in the path of the tons of brick. As a re sult, great uneasiness has developed, es pecially among the women employ=s of the building. 4

4 3 When the matter was brought to the attention of Director Meredith yester day, he said that it was the first that he had heard of the matter, H 4 1 “I pass beneath the stack several times a day,” he said, “and have always con sidered it safe.” t+ He immediately sent for the chief en gineer of the building. Engineer Blatch ley also expressed confideuce In the se curity of the building, ard the strength of the stack, but recommended that sev eral iron bands be placed about the dam aged portion as a precautionary mat ter, and that the stone coping on the top be replaced by a metal cap. s $1: 4 po 1 1 A.

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO LOCAL ATHLETES l A So 2 re 3 PR AE A 4 E LRA High School and Academv Track Performers May Enter the Yale Interscholastic Carnival, Profiting by the experience of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania in developing athletics among school boys by giving a big relay garnival each year, Yale is about to fellow Pennsy’s example and an nounces plans for a track athletic meet io be held at New Haven May 16 next. Competition will be restricted by in vitation and over 250 minor colleges, academics, and high schools in the East ern and Middle States will be asked to send entries. This city has a number of boy athletes in the high schools as well as the boys’ academies, such as the Washington Schooi for Boys, University School, Friends’ Select and Emerson Institute, who would make a good showing at such games and which annually have repre sentatives at the Pennsy games and will probably be entered in Yale's meet, The Central High School of this city still holds the record for the mile relay at the Bosion A. A. and at the Pennsy games, Cf Benefit to the Boys. The value of such games to the col lege athletics of this country can scarce be calculated. Each academy and school naturally wishes to be represented by its best team, and to accomplish that test or trial games are held in order to develop material and determine which are {ts Lest athletes. By this method scores of school boys are induced to take up outdoor pastimes, and spend a portion of their time in the open air under the eye of a competent instructor. Whether ti§>y ever make the team or not, the exercise will do them good, and they are sure to exhibit its beneficent resuits in after years. The relay carnival conceived and fos tered by the University of Pennsylvania for the past decade has done more to develop field and track competition in this section of the country than any other outdoor athletic event. It has in duced schools to foster beneficial com petitive events, and institutions scarcely ever heard of have come rapidly to the front, and the benefits derived have been mutual.

A, said that the reason for giving the championships to Canada was to give the Canadian avd Northwest skaters a chance to do some racing ipo their own territory. Last year’s cham pionships were held on Verona Lake and were fairly successful. Several minor contests in this locality will be sane tioned by the N. A. S. A. A. this winter. Athletics at Y. M. C. A. This is one of the most prosperous seasong in the history of the Y. M, C, A. athletic department. The c'asses are larger ihan ever and the work is of a high class, Physical Instructors Rideout and Beck ett are doing good work, and have eap ‘able assistants in their class leaders, ‘who are chosen to lead squads of begin ners and others, They are chosen ac ‘cording to their length of service and general ability.

The present leaders are H. S. Neale, fourth year; M. J. Gleasou, third year; R. H. Roberts, third year; M. Chesel dine, second year; A. A. Kahler, sec ‘ond year, and L. V. Bateman, first year.

Out-of-Town Contests. The first of the series of out-of-town games arranged for the indoor baseball team is that fixed for next Saturday night in the local gymnasium with the All-Stars, of Baltimore. The baseball team is holding its own in good shape, and bids fair to retain its honors in the local league. It is prob ably une of the best teams playing the game, and when it began three years ago its members knew nothing of the sport, but learned it through regular and CARROLL INSTITUTE BASKETBALL TEAM Prof. M.

The associa.ion alleys arc now in first class shape, really are new ones, and the indications point to a revival of the interest in the sport. The associa tion will probably not have a regular team in the field, but it will form a league among its bowling members, and a regular schedule for the association championship will be played. Despite the fact that a number of the strongest THE WASHINGTON TIMES, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1902. a mimm—_— bowlers have joined local teams, there are still many players who are rolling good averages and promise to develop into stars. Carroll Institute Gymnasium. It is expected that the next wrestling tourney to be given by Carroll Institute will have entries from Baltimore znd elsewhere. The success of the one of last week was =o great that news of it has traveled to other wrestling centers, and inquiries have already been re ceived as to date of the future event. Prof. Joyce, who successfully man aged the tourney, announces that the next affair of the kind will be held in the Institute gymnasium on January 9 and 10, and that all entries must be in his hand on or before January 5. The wrestling will be catch-as-catch-can style, and strangle hold and back ham merlock are barred. Gold medals will be given to all winners, and entrants must prove their amateur standing by showing their A. A. U. registration cards. The Basketball Team. By defeating the Ordways last Tues day the Institute basketball (eam took second place in the District Amateur League standing, breaking the tie it hud with the Corcorans.

The team is much stronger than last year, and is putting up a faster passing and floor game. In Thompson the team has one of the best and most accurate goal throwers in the League. His work is at times clever. Boxwell and Costello are subs. HoNander is putting a good game at “forward,” and with Crowiey at the other side of the line the center and backs have clear sailing in 'rying for goals. Cullen is comparatively a new man at center, but is doing good work, and Kerr and Whalen as “backs” round out a fast team, of which Mun ager Joyce is naturally proud. The team kas arranged to play sev. eral games during the holidays with out-of-town teams. AJ Boxing and Fencing Features. Additional] features will be introduced in the next tourney in the shape of box ing and fencing bouts, which will be held after the finals of the wrestling bouts. y All the prizes in the last tourne) were won by Institute boys, and it is expected that the outsiders will rex time come in for a share of the medals The present classes in body buildin and general drills are the largest in th history of the gymnasium, and persons interested in this sort of work are in vited to witness class work on the reg ular days which are as follows: For men, Mondays :nd Thursdays at o'clock, and Tuesdays and (“ridays at 4:30. Juniors oo Wednesday at 3:15 o'clock, and Saturday mornings at 9. For ladies, Mondays and Thursdays ut 4:30 o'clock. The basketbal? team is making a good showing, avi now stands fourth in the League standi.z. Corcoran Cadet Corps. The result of the indoor baseball game with the Urell Riles on Wednesday night was somewhat of a surprise to the Cor coran Cadets, who had counted on a win ning. The Cadets were completely snowed under, and the usually invincible Boyle seemed to have lost his cunning in the box for the cme time this season. The team played a good enough fielding game, but it was weak at bat. The re sult of the game does not affect the standing of the teams, but it reduces the percentage of Corcorans to .669, in sec ond place, and sends the Urelis up to .500, in third place.

In the basketball league the Carrolls are in second place, through their victory over Ordways, and the Corcorans suffer by this by going to third place, with 667. Golden Eagle Bowlers. The team representing the Golden Eagle Club is cne of the strongesi of this season's District Bowling League. It now stands tied for first place in the league standing, and if it continues to put up such games as it bowled on Wed resday against the Carrolls it will be a strong factor in the championship race. By the way, the result of the above games were considerable of a surprise to the Carrolls, who had counted cn taking a fall out of the Eagles, thereby bettering their own standinz, but the pins did not drop right for Cox's men. Krauss, Pearson, and Eiker are of last season's Y. M. C. A. team, and are bowl ing as strong and steadily as any of the veterans. Krauss’ average in last week's game was 193, and his 215 single was best of the set. Eiker had 183 average. Brandt had hard luck, and broke badly in the second game. Light infantry Team. The Light Iafantry basketball team ‘has not arranged un schedule of games with local teams, but has reserved its strength for the contests with big out of<town teams. The first of these games will be play ed December 20 with a picked team from Baltimore captained bv the famous guard, Westmeyer. The local team has practiced jaithiully apd it hopes to make the game interesting. A return game will be played in Baltimore next month. The infantry has also closed with Lafayette College for two games—Des ember 26 and 27—but will waive the iatter date if any other local team de sires to arrange with the college mien. nis should be one of the star events f the basketball season. The players on the Lafayetie are members of the foot call team which defeated Georgetown last month 23 to and the Infantry ncopes to even up matters in the coming geme. Games With Atlantic City. The Infantry is prosasly stronger than it ever was and is pulling op a Eova same under Capt. Sam Skreeve. Dunn is a recent acquisition and a “forward,” and he and Loftus should prove the fast est scorers in this vicinity. Devlin is agais ia the game and play ing center and guard alterately with Taylor. Shreve is the other guard and with Schwinghammer as an extra play er, the team looks strong eonouvgh to meet the best that come this way. An additicnal feature is promised in a set of games with the National League which represented Atlantic City last summer, and which gave the soldier boys a very warm time. Dates for this series have not bege fixed. The Infantry will play a return gams with Lafayette at Easton, Pa, next month, and hopes to include Lehigh at Bethlehem on that trip. Urell Rifies’ Team. The team representing the Urell Rifles in the Indoor Baseball League promises to make it interesting fcr the rest eof the teams this season, and Manager Brian hopes to finish with his nine somewhere moar the top. With a year's experience to begin with the men took up the game this year in an earnest manner. and by steady practice made a good showing as well as scoring geveral victories against the more seasoned teas. The team has been considerably strengthened by mavens, one of the best pitchers and ail-around players in the league. Hig steady work in the box has given the rest of the nine the confidence the rest of the men formerly lacked The rest of the tcam is made ud as fol lows: Hartnett, first base; Brown, sec ond base; Hunt, catcher; Kane, right shortstop: Rainey, right field; Campbell, left shortstop; Corrigan, left field, and Conley, third base. i 13

BUREAU TEAM IN THE DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE Players From Engravingard Printing Quints. LORD AND LAND LEADERS In Standing and Averages the Money Makers Are in the Lead for “The Times” Cup.

When the Plate Printers’ Bowling League was organized last year, at the Golden Eagle's alleys, most of the play ers were new to the game and made but little progress at first, but they follow ed the plan of sticking at it and the re sult Is that many of the players are now able to hold their own with nearly all comers.

Several of the teams had one or two men who had bowled in other cities and their experience helped them, and nat urally they soon reached the top places in averages.

When the Departmental Bowling League was organized this year it was decided by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to put in ‘a team that it would be made up of the pick of the Plate Printers’ League and so well have these bowlers worked together that the team now leads the league with 21 games won and 6 lost, with a percent. age of .777, and a team average of 859%.

i ——T———_—_ The team is out for the championship of its league, and is already figuring on how it will have its name placed on The Washington Times cup, which is the big trophy the teams are striving for. SUITS

Make-up of Teams. A cut of the team appears in this issue. A. J. Hess, the first man in the cut, comes from the Chicago team, of which he is the mainstay. He is a reliable and consistent bowler and topples over the pins when most needed. He has an av erage of 163 in the Department League, and stands sixth in the Plate Printers’ League with an average of 165.5. In fifteen games played in the latter he has made 47 strikes and 53 spares.

Theodore Helmerichs comes from the St. Louis team and is a strong bowler. He stands second in the Plate Printers’ League with 168.4 average, and in the Departmental has an average of 169, i Land was picked from the St. Louis team and is one of the Bureau's most valuable bowlers. He has bowled sev eral games and is a strong, consistent player. He leads the Plate Printers

with 175.9 average for fifteen games with 54 strokes and 65 spares to his credit. In the Departmental League he has an average of 173 for twenty-seven games and has 222 as his high score. In the District League he is also prominent as a member of the Business Men's Club team. Hardie and Lord are Finds. 4 Joseph Hardie, of New York, took up the game only last year, and in a short time has developed into one of the strong bowlers of the Plate Printers’ and De partmental Leagues. In the former he stands fourth, with an average of 167.3, with 44 strikes and 67 spares, made in 15 games. In the Departmental, he has an average of 170 for 27 games. Charles Lord has been bowling a little over a year, and is now one of the lead ing local bowlers, and his work is the surprise of the season. He is a Phila delphian, and bowls on the team bear ing that name in the Plate Printers’ League, in which he is third, with 168.2 average, 41 strikes, and 68 spares in 15 games. In the Departmental League he is the top man, with 185 average in 27 games, i BUREAU BOWLING TEAM. A. J. Hess. T. H. Helmerichs. George Land. Joseph Hardie. J. J. Batch, Charles Lord.

He has with him Master Gates, ihe mascot of the Bureau Team. TO GIVE DOLLS’ BAZAAR A dolls’ bazaar will be held at the New Willard next Tuesday afternoon and evening under the auspices of Mary Washington Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is given for the purpose of raising funds for the Continental Hall. Mrs. Manning has given a handsome doll dressed in colo nial costume named “Peggy Shippen.” Another doll represents “Gen. Deniel Morgan” as he appears in the rotunda of the Capitol. Mrs. Fairbanks, presi dent general of the Daughters of the American Revolution, will have charge of the flower table. TWO SETS BOWLED BY BANK CLERKS West End and Safe Deposit Company Each Win Three Games. The teams representing the West End and National Capital Banks in the Bank Clerks’ League bowled a set yesterday on the Palace alleys, postponed from Thursday, and the former team won the full set by fair margins.

The bowling generally was of a good class, the Capitals running up an $00 game in the first time around. Both teams bowled high scores in first game and then slumped. Ghiselll led the teams with an aver age of 182, and his 188 was high single. Cox was next, with 162 average.

In the set bowled last night on the Palace alleys in the same league series the National Safe Deposit team won three games from Bell Co. in handy fashion. It bowled two games approaching the 90 mark, and showed some of its old-time form. Henry was high man, with 177 average and 207 as second best game. Stone was next, with 176 average, and Plant rolled 244, the highest in this league's series. i aw i bo 4 ee cores in both sets: West End. 1st.

The Olympia football team is one of the strongest the District has ever had outside of the heavy college and club teams. It Is composed of light but very fast and decidedly clever players, and every man knows the game thoroughly and delights in playing it. There is a Very strong team spirit among the boys and petty jealousies are not allowed to interfere with the success of the club. It has suffered but one defeat this sea son and that at the hands of the En gineers’ team of Washington Barracks, and which is composed of men many pounds heavier than the Olympias, both on the line and back of it. It played the same team to a standstill last week. Regular practice was taken all the sea son at the Co''seum and the boys devel oped a number of plays which were, de cidedly original and were found to be very effective. The team is composed of the follow ing players: Thompson, right end; George Evans (captain), right tackle; Ferrier, right tackle; Block or Jaeger, right guard; McCormick or Givens, center: J. Evans or Dwyer, left guard; Dodge or Ford, left tackle; Simmons or Sutton, left end; Talbert or McKeever, quarter back; Kerr, left halfback; Licarioni or Hoover, full back. Average weight, 145 pounds. E. J. Briggs and W. U. Herbert are the managers. As will be seen from the list of players there is almost a full second team from which to fill in any position in case of injury to one of the regulars. The boys were in such good condition all the season that there were but few injuries. The season's record shows that it has been a successful one: October 18, at home—Olympia, 12: Y.-C A.D October 25, at College Park—Olympia, 6: M AC. 0 November 1, at home—Olympia, 18: Y. MC.

November 27, at home—Olympia, 29: Radfords, 0. November 29, at home—Olympia, 0: Engineers, 11.

December 10, at home—Olympia, 0; Engineers, 0. The Olympias have suspended train ing for the season, but should George town “Preps” agree to play next Fri day, hard work will be resumed. Tha Olympias have been after the “Preps” all season for a game, and they hope now that a contest may be agreed upon. i Y. M. C. A. DEFEATS The Y. M. C. A. defeated the Ordway Rifles in a league game of basketball last night in the gymnasium of the for mer by the score of 27 to 2. The game was too one-sided to be interesting to the small-sized audience which wit nessed the game. The winners played many of their second team men and out classed the Ordways. The feature of the game was the goaling of McQuinn and Garner of the association, the former making five and the latter three. THE ORDWAY RIFLES Beckman was the only player to make a goal for the OrdWways. No more games will be piayed in the District Basketball League until after the holidays.

GOVERNMENT BOARDERS WEIGH IN FOR HEALS 4 Dr. Wiley’s Experiment {or Benefit of Science. ALL ARE FARING WELL One Young Man Apparently Unable to Get to “Constant” Weight. “Weigh in for dinner” is the an nouncement made to the “‘poigon squad,” who are lending their stomachs to the Government in the interests of pure food, under the direction of Dr. H. W. Wiley, of the Department of Agricul ture. Dr, Wiley intended beginning the feed ing of boric acld to his boarders on Monday, but because of the fluctuation in the weight of one of his men, it may have to be postponed. Every man in the “squad” has reached what Dr Wiley characterizes a ‘“‘constant’ weight, ex cept this one. Mis weight fluctuates as greatly as prices in the stock exchange on a panicky day. Dr. Wiley is hope ful that today thi= boarder may reach the constant weight so much desired in the experiments. Borie acid will be the first adulterant used because its deleterious effects are the more easily distinguished. The “squad” will have the regular variety of food during the boric acid tests, but after each meal each man will take a capsule containing boric acid. “We will not mix it with the food,” said Dr. Wiley, “as some of its proper ties might escape in cooking, and we want each man to get his full share” No Rosy-Cheeked Waitresses. No rosy-cheeked waitresses wearing snowy white aprons serve the boarders. Instead, a bespectacled scientist, with delicately adjusted pair of scales, weighs out to each so many grams and ounces of meat, fish, oatmeal, and vege tables. 4 “Martyrs to science” some people call the “poison squad,” but the official Gov ernment boarders agree that they are lucky to escape the boardinz-houses. Dr. Wiley likes good living hivaself, and he believes in giving his squad the very best the market affords. He has many original ideas about feeding people, and the young men who are being experi mented on agree that Le would make a success of any boarding-house. The “‘poison squad” is thriving on (he food and treatment given them. Dr. Wiley and his scientists have computed that it requires sufficlent nitrogen, which, if burned, would heat one degree in temperature 3.000 pounds of water, to drive the human engine and keep it A Pair of Gloves.

MARKET DEPRESSED BY PROFIT TAKING Other Conditions to Accout for Reaction From Shap Rise of Friday. EL hia ANNUM GU ANTEE Syndicate Demand on Money Market Causes Apprehen “sion of Similar Calls. i

NEW YORK, Dee. 13.—Prices reacted today from their sharp rise of yester day. Many stocks had rallied three or Jour points in as many hours, and profit- “taking by the fortunate and courageous “huyers, who had made purchases when i the ssfon was greatest, was to be expected. The knoW ledge yesterday afternoon ‘that an unexpected call had been sent. “out for $8,000,000 from the syndicate ‘having if charge the New York Central Railroad bond refunding scheme, because of the unwillingness expressed by many of the old bondholders to take the new 3% per cent bonds in exchange for their former holdings, was foilowed ‘by the fear that possibly another call for funds Krom the syndicate might be necessary, “and that, in general, the drain of so- called syndicate requirements upon the money market before the end of the year ‘was not yet over, The Bank Statement. The bank statement, when it appeared, was rather colorless. The cash held by the banks decreased $3,094,706, or almost exactly the amount expected. Loans de creased only $2,065,500, and the total loans of hanks remain over $6,000,000 in _ excess of net deposits. While this condition of affairs exists the financial situation at this center can not be said (o be other than one of strain. At the same time the surplus reserves of the associated institutions are $8,386,900 above the legal minimum, and are considerably more than the re serves held at this date in previous years. The condition of the banks is un doubtedly better than shown by today's statement, for, under the average sys tem of making up the statement, the heavy liquidation in the stock market gon Thursday and Friday was not Sully jyshown. J a Weekly Reviews. The feature of the weekly reviews of the commercial agencies published today is their eloquent testimony as to the stimulus of retall business throughout ww country by the colder weather. Be

I resent week the seasonable no of merchandise had lagged a

Two very unpleasant incidents of the last few days have been, however, the de velopments concerning thé Consolidated Lake Superior aad the American Grass Twine Company. -The directors af both

i of these concerns~having declared their usual quarterly dividends, suddenly re scinded their action, and in the case of the former company passed the divi dend entirely. The American Grass Twine officials concluded to reduce their dividend from 1% per cent to one-quarter of 1 per cent. The Consolidated Lake Superior stock is dealt in only in Philadelphia. It is now admitted that the company is in need of money, and would have to bor row the funds for its dividend payment if the original purpose of making the pay ment had been carried out, An Unfortunate Revelation. It is not supposable for an instant that the eminent directors in boih of these companies would have either counte nanced the payment of unearned divi dends upon the shares or would know ingly have taken any dividend action that needed to be rescinded afterward The inference is unavoidable therefore that the directors were not as cogni zant of the affairs and corporate acts of the companies for which they stood sponsors as a due sense of their respon. sibility to the public made imperative. This is a time when the confidence of w the public In financial concerns needs tc be sirengthened rather than weakened The least tha! can be said about suck revelations as these is that they are most unfortunate. There was nothing noteworthy in the trading in today's market. It is recog nized, of course, that the short interest in the market previous to Wednesday was rather light, and that its brief ac cumulation, therefore, was probably pretty well dispersed again in the clos ing days of the week. 3 DR. KIiLMER'S EES The best opinion at the close of the market seemed to be that while it was possible that the low prices for 1502 had already been geen, the wisdom of en deavoring to force a further rally at the immediate moment was doubtful, New York Stock Exchange, Dec. 13. 1; Hich low last (‘h’a'ae Asal Copper m.

Time money has been stringent all the week, but at no time has been ahso lutely unobtainable. Good houses have been able to gel money on acceptable collateral at six months for 6 per cent. Some loans have been made at 7 to 8% per cent for the same dates, where se curities to be carried were not of high grade Some lenders have put out money at par cent for one year by re fusing all other terms, ard where re newals were necessary this proposition has been acceded to. Mercantile paper has been absolutely quiet in the city, and only a moderate amount placed out of town. Supply was quite large, but brokers refused to add any more to the lines they carried.

It is too early yet to obtain financial views on this new development. but probably they would be unfavorable. It is these aggressive American methods methods which are most disliked, espe cially when applied in acquiring a for eign credit institution. Some people here consider this new move a paipable attempt to disguise the financing Ameri can projects under foreign auspices. Agitation of the question of reform of railway methods is still proceeding.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—There was a good deal of steam on in wheat this morning, the May price opening from He. to sc. higher, and early sales ranging from 77%c. to 78c. Later it sagged off to 77%., but before noon recovered to 8c. under heavy buying by ail the big com mission houses, and especially by Patten. There was some influence from the Mis souri report, which makes the area sown 10 per cent less than last vear, although the Government found an increase of 11 per cent, On the early soft gpots a large number of independent local traders came in. Northwestern wheat stocks are expected 10 imcrease about 2,000,000 bushels this week. Primary receipts were somewhat bullish, being only 825,500 bushels, as compared with 908,000 bushels a week ago, and 1,088,900 bushels last year. Lo cal sentiment is distinctly on the bull side, Oats continues about steady at a frac tional decline, the May working back from 32%e. to 23854¢. Trade is not broad, ‘nor the grain subject to much demand. Easier prices ruled in provisions, Jan uary pork dropping from $16.55 to $16.45, while December lard lost 10c., and ribs 12'%2¢. The demand was principally from scalpers. Hog receipts today, 35,000. Prices bc, lower. Cattle dull, receipts 4,500, Sheep weak, receipts 17,000. WHEAT High. low. Close. 6 5% 7s TM Th HW OI, TW

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Spot cotton was unchanged. Southern spot markets were generally steady. Liverpool declined 2 points on the spot, with sales of 7,000 bales; futures declined 2 points, Light receipts and bullish statistics for the week were offset in the cot ton market by a decline at the stock ex change today, and a certain amount of talk about Venezuela. Most operators were still helding aloof awalting de velopments. It is not expected that the receipts will increase at once if they are to in crease, and this keeps short selling within very moderate limits. On the other hand, the stock market, and the possibility, however, remote, of inter national complications growing out of the Venezuelan matter, as well as the gluggishness of the speculation, and the uncertainty as to whether the light re ceipts are reallv due entirely to ex haustion of supplies or to bad weather and poor roads, militates against specu lation for a rise. Today New Orleans and Liverpool] sold to a small extent. Spot houses were moderate buyers. The net result of, the day's transactions was a trifling de cline.

To Prove What the Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp-Root, Will Do for YOU, Every Reader of The Washington Sunday Times May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free by Mail. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the biood—that is their work. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected, and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. It you are sick or “feel badly,” begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to continue much suffering with fatal results is sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless, and irritable. makes you pass water often during the day, and obliges you to get up maay times dur ing thenight.

Sottion Two. The Washington Cimeg. bi Ww ASHING TON. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1902 TIMIC NAVAL WARFARE IN THE CARIBBEAN SEA EET NAT OY TRI TL Shae i EVER has a great naval power— and the Unlied States fought its way into that category during the Spanish-American war—as sembled in time of peace such a great proportion of its navy as bas this coun try for the maneuvers now in progress in the Caribbean Sea. Admiral Dewey's four-starred flag is set at the masthead of the Majsflower, and under his com mand for six weeks, over filly warships will be engaged in practical battie ex ercises, squadron maneuvers, target practice and fleet drill. In February the work will have been done. The ships will haze dispersed to different paris of the globe. Much pow der will have been burned, the hulls of the warcraft will be foul, officers will be worn from constant duty, bluejackets will be weary. But unless the opinions of the foremost naval strategists and theorists, and the level-headed, busi ness-like Secretary of the Navy are far wrong, the navy will have benefited much, the lesson taught will be one not easily forgotten, and one invaluable in event of war. Next to national courage and national readiness to strike for the right, “pre paredness” is the most potent factor in the growth of a nation; and the surest guarantee that it will mairtain its pres tige. “Preparedness” is the keynote of the maneuvers sow holding the attention of “Preparedness.” naval experts of all nations. Before the Spanish-American war there was in the United States Navy no such keenness as exists now. Fleet drills were indulged in, but the United States trailed far be hind other nations in naval progress. Herculean efforts were required to get together the fleet that captured Cervera. There was ‘preparedness.’ but it was ‘not much more than enough to cope with a weak naval power like Spain. The officers who administer the affairs of the Navy Department today, like ex pert chess players, are thinking two or three moves ahead. First of all, they know that if the United States gets into a war with any foreign power—and most foreign powers have larger navies than ours—the Ca ribbean will be the scene of battle. Hence it is highly desirable that our fleets should practice on the ground where they may fight. The most likely cause of conflict with European nations would be through their treading on the prinei ples of the Monroe Doctrine by attempt ing acquisition of territory in the West ern Hemisphere. To any such move the United States would protest by a naval demonstration in the Caribbean. Should war come the foe would undoubtedly send its strongest fleet against the At lantic coast of the United States. Squadrons Brought Together. While the North Atlantic Squadron is a powerful fleet, it would be necessary to strengthen it. So the first move in wv) 4 mm wl

ae Et KEARSARGE. THE THE MAYFLOWER. THE ILLINOIS. t EE ESS the mapeuvers was to bring into them all the ships of the North Atlantic Squadron, commanded by Rear Admiral Higginson; those of the South Atlantic Squadron, commanded by Rear Admiral Sumner, and those of the European Squadron, under command of Rear Ad miral Crowninshield, Added to these were numerous colliers, supply and re pair vessels, tugs and coal barges, and last but not least the “mosquito fleet” of torpedo hoats, six in number, under command of Lieut, Lloyd Chandler, a total of upward of fifty ships. The mighty force represents all the navy ex cept the Asiatic and Pacific squadrons and those ships out of commission. Hard Work Needed. To bring all the ships together the Navy Department had to exert its ut most efforts for months. Immediately after the summer maneuvers on the North Atlantic coast in which, however, only the North Atlantic Squadron was engaged, all the ships that needed re pairs were thoroughly overhauled, so that they would be easily able to stand the wear and tear of prolonged mimig campaigning. This strained the re sources of the navy yards. It was no easy problem to get the vast amount of labor needed, nor to provide at short no tice the material required. Thus the auxiliaries to the fleet were put to the test, They were compelled to show whether they possessed the “prepared ADMIRAL DEWEY AND HIS STAFF. ness’ requisite to an efficient navy, They stood the fire creditably. Coal Strike a Factor. olrike a Factor. Incidentally the coal strike for a mo ment presented a problem. Would the navy be able to get the great amount of coal needed? But far-seeing minds had provided for Just such a contingency as arose as the result of the leng-continued tie-up in the anthracite region, which naturally created a stringency in the bi tuminous market, on which the navy depends for fuel. Immense supplies had been made available in the West Indies— enough for any kind of a campaign. o_o Finally “the warships rendezvoused. ‘The North Atlantic squadron gathered, pursuant to orders, in Hampton Roads. The European and South Atlantic Squad rons combined in the Gull of Paria, off the coast of Venezuela, under the com mand of Rear Admiral Sumner, who is ‘Rear Admiral Crowninshield’'s senior. Then the Nerth Atlantic Squadron sailed for Culebra Island, an important strate gic point on the east coast of Porto ‘Rico, within sight of the Danish West Indies, which the United States may some day bold—tLhe key to the Caribbean. Then began the search problem. “War” in Time of Peace. This was concluded last week. It was ‘about as mear war as i' 1s possible to come in time of peace. Rear Admiral ‘Sumner’s squadron represented an ene ‘my, endeavoring to establish a base of operation in our important possession, Porto Rico, intending from there to con duct another naval campaigp against the coast of the United States. Rear Admir al Higginson's fleet represented just what it was--a United States naval force guarding Porto Rico from the at ‘tempted blow—and the war game took is name, ‘search problem,” from the fact that the enemy was constantly searching to make a landing, while the defending fleet constantly sought to find and destroy the enemy. This war game was the test of the practical application of the principles of ‘naval warfare already known to officers and men. From now on the watchword in Admiral Dewey's fleet will be ‘“‘de tail.” Admiral Dewey did not command the fleet during the search problem, He arrived at Culebra enly last week. Bui Sw that the search problem is past with all its picturesque features, he wih be commander-in-chief of the fleet and with his staff will direct all its move ments, The Staff. And it is an able staff that will ad vise him on the trim flagship Mayflower. The chief-of-staff is Rear Admiral Henry C. Taylor, chief of the Bureau of Navi gation, one of the brainiest officers in the service, and who in the general board is Admiral Dewey's right hand man. Then there is Capt. J. E. Pillsbury who, as commander of the White, or attacking, squadron in the search prob lem off the northeast coast last year, kept sdmiral! Higginson guessing as to his whereabouts for four long days. The other members of the staff are Capt. William Swift, who is attached to the general board, and who was one of the arbitrators in the war game on the east ern approach to New York between the navy and the coast defenses. Lastly there is Admiral Dewey's aide, Com mander Nathan Sargent. Every man is a capable officer, possessed of a splendid record and thoroughly cognizant of the needs of the navy. The waters of Porto Rico will now be the scene of more elaborate schooling than was ever before given officers and men in the United States Navy. The war game was the exposition of what was already known. Now there will be in struction in details. Until Christmas time there will be rigorous drill with the boats. Landing parties will be sent again apd again toward the shores of Culebra, defended by a garrison of ready merines. This will be continued until everything in this line goes like clock work. Target Practice.

There will he target practice. Of course that can be conducted at any ‘time. It is not mecessary to gather a fleet to engage in gun exercise, but ‘the rivalry that is aroused on such ocea ‘gions ie so healthful that it cannot be ignored. Every variety of ship drill will be followed out until the utmost pro ficiency possible is attained. The vaeot fleet will steam back and forth through the tropical waters in avery kind of fleet and squadron forma tion. The larger the fleet engaged the ‘more extensive the problems opened up, ‘Signal practice will be extensive. New systems will be tried, including the helio ‘graph. It is a source of regret that wireless telegraphy could prot be em ployed at this time. But the progress in tests was not rapid enough to warrant instailation now. The torpedo flotilla will co-operate with the fleet in the exercises, The effi ciency of these craft has long been a subject of naval ceatroversy. The utility of the rakish, speedy little boats will be tested both as regards their ability to defend harbors and as dispateh boats and coast scouts for the fleet. The maneuvers are far removed from the character of a junket. The naval con tingent—oflicers from Admiral down to midshipmen, and enlisted men of every grade will have to work harder than they probably ever have had to eince the Spanish-American war, Realizing the rigers of the work the Navy Depart ment at the suggestion of Admiral Liberty at Christmas. Dewey has decided the men shall havel plenty of liberty at Christmas time. Just before Christmas the fleet will dis<' band, the ships will distribute them= selves at various ports in the West Indies where there will be plenty of re= laxation for both officers and men. While the naval maneuvers were in progress last summer “Mr. Dooley” the philosopher, familiar to Sunday news paper readers, replied to the query of his friend Hennessy as to who won im the war game, “I don’t know who won, but I know who lost—the Treasury.” Rad “a pS “Mr. Dooley” Refuted. Mr. Moody, Secretary of the Navy, one of the strongest advocates of the maneu vers, denies “Mr. Docley’s’” assertion by showing figures which prove that it costs little more to conduct maneuvers than it does io maintain the fleet regularly, and that the increase of cost is far less than commensurate with the benefits derived. He direeied every commanding officer and every chief of a bureau to submit a re port as to the additional cost of the sum mer maneuvers, and the increase was seen to be very smail. From Mr. Moody's figures it is casily seen that it costs little mare for ships to cruise in fleets than singly, little more for target practice in Nei than individually, The great good which it is expected will be derived from the maneuvers is that the navy will have put into practical application the Jgheories it has always had for the rapid assembling of naval forces in time of war. The impracticabla features will be thrown out. Better ones will be eubstituted. What is hard this year will be casier next, and the year after that it will be a mere matter of routine

This is the accepted idea of the studio, and there is reality as well as romance in the picture, for the artistic nature craves beautiful environment as a rule and seeks to satisfy that craving by the acquisicion of handsome things pleasing ‘ly arranged, even though the masculine mind may stop short of always preserv ing intact that “show studio” effect which comes naturally to Lis feminine co-worker. Thus it may happen that the same stu dio which is arranged with picturesque effectiveness for the photographer's glimpse will seem hardly recognizable a few days later when the busy occupant, In the excess of hig artistie zeal, has pulled around this and pushed aside that, flung his coat and hat hither and thither, and dragsed out his latest can vases and much-bedaubed palettes to catch the best possible iight. The Shaseving eye will, however, even in the midst of this industrious confu slon, catch a view here and there of the harmonious furnishings and distinctive articles of “virtu” which mark the in €ividual tastes of that particular arlist, A Decided Change. however and wherever he may place them. Few “Show Studios.” “There are few if any ‘show studios’ belonging 0 the artists of the Capital,” remarked one of them recently. “The French word ‘atelier,’ or workroom, bet ter expresses it. In the first place, the architects have overlooked us, and be ing, like most of our craft, chronically impecunious, we must take what the gods provide in the way of badly arrang ed and poorly lighted rooms, as we are obliged to have 2 shelter for our can vas, paints, and other necessaries, and a place In which to do the actual work.” Though the architectural arrangement may not ulways be to his taste, the Washington artist having deposited the ‘necessaries’ In the background, pro ceeds to gather around him harmonious belongings, arranges tasteful corners, conceals unsightly doors by hangings, adds his pet curios, and soon his indi viduality and the character of his work are reflected in his surroundings. Mr. R. L. Johnstone’s Studio. Thus the graceful studio of R. Le Grande Johnstone suggests the refined Virginia gentleman cof fastidious tastes and shows a consideration for detail that is borne out In the conscientious treatment of even his smallest work.

Artistic Treasures. In the “atelier” of May Weyl, the well-known landscapist, ope finds a wealth of valuable curios picked up in foreign travel or here and there in old shops nearer home, and concludes that Corner in the Studio of Harold Macdona'd. Mr. Weyl possesses the same instinct for finding artistic treasure of the ma terial kind in out-of-the-way places as he displays so attractively in discover ing the “motifs” for his nature studies and charming glimpses of water and sky In our own hygienically unappreciated Potomac marshes or the cavirons of Georgetown To Mr. Weyl every locality is replete with interesting material of the ariistic sort, and however humble his theme he never fails to depicit it with a truth fulness of coloring and a simple direct uess of treatment that preserve the character of the scene and appeal to the bebolder as does the sympathetic charm of nature hergelf. Of German descent, Mr. Weyl may be said to be largely self-taught, notwith standing several years’ study of the masters and their methods abroad. The individuality of his work is strongly marked, it being said among “Cattle,” by R. L. Johnstone. artists that his landscapes need no sig nature where his work is known. “Ap proaching Night,” a beautiful twilight ‘scene, in the Corcoran Art Gallery, is a good example of Mr. Weyl at his best. Richard N. Brooke’s Studio. Simplicity and real worth without os -tentation, is the keynote of the studio of Richard N. Brooke, and the same might be said of its owner as well. At tractive but quite unassuming his work room looks at irst glance, the furniture standing modestly back that one may sce the well-covered wall where land scapes and merines, animal groups painted en masse and studies of negro life—with which Mr. Procke's name is invariably associated through his realis tic picture of “A Pastoral Vitsit” at the Corcoran Art Gallery—vie with each other in peint of excellence. But a closer view discloses the artistic value and worth of these modestappear ing furnishings. Carved, high-backed chairs of old mahogany, polished wich long use, antique sofas and stands of quaint design, with odd rugs and brica brac are here, showing that Mr. Brooke possesses the same admirable taste of selection in these matters that he dis~ plays so creditably as an art critic. Strikingly effective and original, even though unfinished, is the decorative frieze which heips to make the studio of Harold Macdonald one of the most dis tinctly individual in Washington. Upon a wide strip of white calclmine, left bare above the terra cotta side walls, Mr, Macdonald has washed in with India ink a weird, fantastic carnival of life-size figures and faces worthy of Dore in bold ness of design and efficiency of treat ment, Work of Mr. Macdonald. Unconsciously, perbaps, but none the less truly, has the artist revealed his higher aspirations in.this unigue em bellishment of the conventicnal studio. While known best as a painter of un usually forceful and animated portraits, gue as his graphic likenesses of ex Secreturies Windom, Gresham, and Gage, in the Treasury, Colonel Britton, Judge Kelley, Justice McKenna, and numerous other well-known men, his fonder am bitions tend toward the ideal and fanci ful in ar‘—compositions that, like bis whimsicul frieze, give full rein to Ris inventive and imaginative gifts, To this class also belongs his latest conception, the “Fire Worshiper,” a poetic fancy of primitive woman seeking to express her reverential adoration and indefinable longings in silent contempia ‘tion of her glowing deity. Mr. Macdonald is his own severest ‘eritic, and so high is his standard that it is difficult for him to consider a picture of his completed; there seems always a possibility of improvement as long as it remains in his possession. A Homelike Place. Daintily attractive and homelike is the tasteful studio of Mrs. Jane Curtis Child, who holds a prominent place among the feminine artists of the Capital. Her workroom has a triple interest for Washington art lovers, being aiso the studio of Mrs. Child's brother, Willism Fuller Curtis, and of her husband, Rob ert Colman Child. Gift +d with rare delicacy of feeling and the power of expressing her inspirations with fidelity, Mrs. Chi'd has dene much that is praiseworthy. Pastel is her fa vorite medium, and portraiture ciaims a considerable portion of her attention, though her poetic insight is best ex pressed, perhaps, by such creations of the ideal as “Sir Galahad” and Tenny son's “Princess,” now owned by the Cosmos Club. William Fuller Curtis unites a consid erable ability for illustration with a decided talent for burnt wood design and engraving, his effective panels being seen in many of the artistic homes of the city. His work shows originality of thought and freedom of fancy, possess ing often the spirituelle quality notice. able in that of his sister. Though one of the youngest of Wash ingtor's artists, Robert Colman Child has already done some very attractive and creditable work in landscape, his canvases showing both iadividuality and promise. These passing glimpses of the artist in his or her siundio represent but a few of the earnest and successful workers in the little art colony of the National Capital, which is noted not only for the serious purpose and achivement of its members, but also for the high and gen €rous tone which exists among them.

waters the fertile valley of the

Nile has followed its course through Upper and Lower Egypt uninterrupted and unopposed by any ob siacle strong enough to arrest its mighty tide. Many attempts have been made to conserve the water, wasted at the over flow, for use when the river was low and drought threatened. For hundreds of years dykes were built along the banks by the Egyptians. The Romans con tinued this plan, and regarded it as so important to the prosperity of the coun try that any man caught injuring a Nile dyke was exiled to an oasis in the des ert.

t ite ais EF centuries the lordly river which Washed Away by Tide. But like the levees along the borders of the Mississippi, these dykes were washed away in a night when the tide, fed by the Blue Nile, the Sobat, the At bara, and other smaller tributaries that carried the melting snows from the Abyssinian Mountains and the green water from the swamps near the lakes, suddenly arose to the greater heights marked on the Nileometer near Aswan, and swept everything from its path.

Amen-em-bat, King of Egypt, tried to build a dam at Seneneh, and failed. Va rious rulers of more modern times have failed, or partially failed, in similar un dertakings. British capitalists and en gineers, under the leadership of Sir John Aird, have succeeded, and although, un der the terms of the contract, the great dam and reservoir will not have to be completed until January 1, 1903, it is practically finished, and the best «a gineers in the world pronounce it it suc cess. It was inaugurated December 9, with imposing ceremonies, in which

At the Le Long sale in Paris there were sold to collectors in one day arti cles of value amounting to more than $36,000. One ot the peculiar features of this sale was the disclosure that a bronze statuette of a child sold at aune tion for $1800, and that Mme. Le Long had picked up this statuette at a happy bargain for $40. English papers seem somewhat jubi lant over the fact that the order for the new dishes to be used at the White House was awarded to an English firm. The contract was awarded 0 Josiah Wedgewood Son, and the order calls for 1,296 pieces. The centers of the plates will be left entirely free from decorations, and the seal of the United States will be placed on the rims of the dishes. Sentiment in New York seems to ve somewhat divided over the merits of the exhibition of water colors by Japanese artists now to be scen in one of the Twenty-third Street galleries.

It will hold water twenty meters above the Tow water level of the Nile. Its length is 2,156 yards, its width at the crest is 26 feet 4 inches, and at the base 82 feet 5 inches. Its height at the deep est point is 92 feet 4 inches. Built of Granite.

It is built of gray granite, quarried from the adjacent mountains. It is pierced by 180 openings, or undersluices, of which 140 are 23 feet by 6 feet, and forty are 18 feet by 6 feet, ail provided with massive gates. To the north, at it, there is a smaller barrage, 903 long, containing a lock 53 feet gh which 1 steamed on the Rameses the Great, the largest boat on the Fiver, last April.

Both barrages were commenced by Messrs. Aird Co. in 1888. The Asyut dam is in perfect working order. It has 111 openings sixteen feet wide, provided with gates. The smaller dam. working in conjunction with the great dam at Aswan and connected by telegraph. will absolutely control both the irrigation and the navigation af the river. To Build a Canal. The same firm will soon econ mence a J navigable canal, which will skirt the, first cataract and enable large steame rs to continue their course in the direction of the Soudan.

Mr. Dunbar was so fortunate as to make several photo graphic studies and a portrait bust of Mr. Shepherd while he was on a visit to this city some years ago, and with this material at hand it is easy to see how well equipped he is for ihis pariicular work. Scmz Comparisons The thirteenth annual exhibition of the New York Water Color Club, which closeg today, has been a greazl success both in point of attendance and in the sales which have been made. As com pared with our own exhibition of the Washington Water Coler Club, now in progress at the Corccran Gallery, there i8 much to be learned. Although Mr. Snell is the president of the New York eciuh, his work on ex. hibition at New York dees not seem, in the surroundings of tHe other work, 80 conspicuous cr meritorious as the exampie of his work exhibited here. This may be due In a measure to the fact that an exhibition of Mr. Snell's water colors is now being held at Brooklyn, and his New York exhibition has probably been weakened on ihat accord, The work of John LaFarge geemed far below what might be expected of an artist of so much prominence. One ould not resist the impression that he thirty semi-annual annuities of ove: $400,000, Can Egypt do this, and what will Great Britain do should she fall to make the payments, are questions for the future, pregnant with importance, Apropos of that question is a remark whispered in my ear at the last Egyn tian New Year reception by the Khedive in Cairo. As Lord Cromer, the British ambassador, approached, a British sub ject said to me: “Sce, the real ruler of Egypt pays his respects to the nominal ruler.” The truth of the remark is evident to anyone who lives a week in Egypt.

One of his nude studies, that of a slight model posed beside a small stream of water which is falling over a cliff, seems to possess more good qualities than any of his other exhibited werk. The pose is good and the ability of the artist to do strong work for exhibition purposes is amply manifested in this single picture, It is quite probable, however, that the best of Mr, LaFarge's work is now on exhibition at Chicago, where a one-man exhibition com posed of the work of Mr. LaFarge is now being held at the Field Gallery. The place of honor at this exhibition has been given te the paintings of Winslow Homer. The paintings, eighteen in num. ber, all illustrate the work of a man who is thoroughly familiar with his work and who expresses himself with a directness that some might claim comes near to a sacrifice of a feeling of beauty. The drawing of Mr. Homer, 50 far as this collection shows, would appeal to the visitor with more strength than his coloring, but, taken as a whale, his exhibit (ontains so many varied themes that all can find much to admire and a rare chance for profitable study. I was glad to note that the picture gent to this exhibition by H. Hobart Nichols had found a purchaser. This picture, entitled ‘November, is one of Mr. Nichols’ pleasing landscapes with a iappy combination of autumn woods, a foreground of fields and water, and a sky that is full of the sentiment of the clesing of the year. The picture was given a good place by the hanging com THE WASHINGTON TIMES, SUNDAY.

From Roxbury, Mass., comes the mosi interesting art news of the week. No one can longer doubt that the purchas ing of art treasures is a safer investment than Government bonds. It seems from the press reports that one Henry W. Smith, a merchant of Roxbury, In dis posing of the accumulated rubbish In his cellar came across an old canvas and was jokingly offered a dollar for It by a neighbor, Robert Jarvis, who was standing by while the cellar was being cleared of its mass of rubhish. The dollar was accepted and the ragged, crumpled ecanvag changed hands.

The legend is Island was the scene of the burial and the that Typhon, jealous of the power and prestige of Osiris, killed him and scat tered the parts of his mutilated body throughout upper and lower Egypt. He did this because he feared the power of Isis, the faithful and intrepid wife of Osiris. But she gathered together the dismembered body, deposited it in her temple at Philae, and, using some mys terious incantations taught her by Thot, she brought his soul back frem the lower regions and reinstated him on his throne! Panel in Hieroglyphics. The most interesting panel in the Tem ple of Isis on Philae is known as the “Resurrection of Osiris,” where the story above is told in hieroglyphs. It seems the gods of the Nile were also called into requisition by Isis in this difficult per (appeared from England some sixty vears age. The canvas bears the signature of Titian and the date 1543. If this Is a genuine Titian and not a find of the Cardiff Giant order, Robert Jarvis has by this investment of a dollar placed himself in a position where he can take a long holy on the proceeds of the sale of this picture, for Titlans are rare, prices are high, and the market is not overstocked. It is doubtful, however, i! this picture will ever be sold outside of Boston, for the Bostonians are appre clative of good art, and are enthusiastic collectors. This is easily demonstrated from the fact that at a sale last week a Sevres vase decorated with a portrait of Marie Louise and signed by the ar tist Constantin sold for $1,250. In Philadelphia. In Philadelphia the leading exhibition in progress seems (Gc be that of the Plastic Club, which will continue until Leocember 20. At this exhibition Miss Anna Lea Merritt exhibits for the first time in Philadelphia a portrait of Harrison 8. Morris, the editor of “‘Lip pincoti’s,” and the seeretary of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. The Salmagundi C ub. The leading feature in New York art circles last week was the dinner of the Salmagundi Club, at their club house on West Twelfth Street. The entertain ments of this club have always been en joyable for their lack of formality and the pervading spirit of comradeship. This occasion was a noteworthy one, the guests of honor being F. Hopkinson Smith, Waiter Shiriaw, and Frank D. Millet. Dinner was served at 7 o'clock, n the First Cataract of the River Has Reen Constructed a Huge Dam That Will Raise the Water So High as to Flood the Valley and Increase ihe Fertile Lands One-Third Inaugurated on December 9. oT formance, for on another panel the Nile is represented as a dual godhead—one, the North Nile, “Hap reset,” crowned ‘with lotos leaves, and the other the South Nile, “Hap-mehet,” crowned with papyrus leaves—pouring water over the soul of Osiris before it rejoined the body!

For centuries only priests were allowed Lo touch the soil of Philae. Its temples are among the most artistic in Egypt. The site is ideal. The First Cataract. The river flows around it between ‘mountains on either side and descends over high boulders to form the first cat aract not far off. Tall palms offer a de lightful shade and tropic flowers blos som everywhere. The foundations of the temples are now being strengthened to resist the possible inundation when the autumnal rise in the river shall fill for the first time the great reservoir, for although Sir John Aird's engineers had to change their original plans for the protection of fair Philae, there is still reason to fear the result of a very great flood in the Nile. I read another legend, cut in old French on the stones of one of the Tem ples of Philae. It was to this effect: “The French, under Marshal Durve, chased a flying squadron of Mamelukes to this point when the army of Napoleon invaded Egypt.” It is strange that history does not at tach more importance to this inscrip tion, for Philae is about the southern limit of ancient Egypt. Another curious fact in this connection is that Napoleon and continued until all of the many good things had been sampled and approved |of. For genuine enjoyment nothing can excel a Salmagundi dinner. It is doubt ful if at any other gathering in New York there could be found so many con genial men as were seated around the ‘table at this last dinner. To some it was 'a home coming. for many of the members ‘reside outside of New York, and for these ‘there was the most cordial greeting and friendly inquiry for the last art news in the member's particular locality. At you can imagine a large family comprising ‘some 250 members who have come home on some holiday event like a Christmas dinner, and who have not reached the age when such events pall on the taste, but are as glad and as joyous as school boys on a vacation, you can form some idea of the geod time that awaits the Salma gundians .when the great dinner of the year is given. Around this table were scated mer whose names are as familiar to the art world as nursery rhymes are to children. Walter Shirlaw, whose art work has for years been one of the stand ards to be looked up to; F. Hopkinson Smith, the popular novelist, painter, and lecturer; Frank ID. Millet, whose pic tures of home life have been so charm ingly painted that their home interest has awakened the strongest responses from all, whether artist or layman: Harry Fenn, who has fittingly been re ferred to as the Nestor of American illus trators; W. A. Fraser, so long promi nent in the management of the art de partment of Scribner's; Thomas Moran, the painter of that fine veries of Westarn scenery, and who now looks but little clder than when he was the comrade of Jackson, Holmes, Gilford, and others who Baths of Cleopatra, Near Aswan. Napoleon's Scheme. Bonaparte strongly urged the building of a dam to control the inundation of the Nile and instantly realized the benefits that would accrue from it. He little dreamed that his old enemy and rival, Englend, would be the first to put his idea into execution. Near Philae are other islands scarce ly less noted. One is Elephantine, fa mous in ancient history, but notabie in this connection because the height of the river has been gauged for so many centuries in this vicinity. There is a nileometer, of course, and then a text at Edfu, which states that it’ the river rises 24 cubits ai Elephantine it will water the country satisfactorily. These nileometers were very important fac tors in the finances of Egypt, for no tax es couid be ~ollected until the river had risen to a cerialn height.

There was also Hy Myer, the illustrator, whose work is so full of pro nounced indtviduality that it is recog ‘nized without his signature.

Of speechmaking there was pleaty, but not of the stilted after-dinner pattern. The speeches were from comrade to comrade, without any set plan to win the applause of the gallery or the ap proval of the press. Hopkinson Smith was by far the most effective speaker, and spoke feelingly of his connection with the Salmagundi Club and the maay changes that had passed over the art conditions In New York since his com ing to the city in 1862. He paid a worthy tribute to the artists who had been the picneers, such as Eastman Johnsen, Sandford R. Gifford, and John W. Casi lear, and said that men of today were too apt to forget the importance of their influence in shaping the art education of their successors. “Men who have been to Munich and come back and paint with a broad stroke from the center of their spinal columns are too apt to look down on the man who paints with the tips of his fingers,” was the novel man ner in which he depicted the attitude of the twe schools, In addition te the short speeches made by the guests of honor there were sev. eral short speeches made Oy momoers who were called upon by the presideat to “teil the boys what you know.” CHARLES E.

BSEN, Pinero, and Sudermann have precipitated locally the storm now gathering over (he whole dramatic world as to the warrant or Jack of warrant for problem plays. In a mecas ure the Washington judgment has been snnounced—a firm indorsement of the two authors last named and a degree of favor for the first. Mr. Sudermann’s “Magda” and “The Joy of Living,” and Ms. Pinero’s “The Second Mrs. Tan aneray” have. this week enmmanded “audiences at the Columbia Theater of SU. passing Lriliahbey, and Mo. avsens “Ghosts” drew to the same playhouse several hundred persons of exception ally high intelligence, Whatever the just deserts of these three authors, then, this much is established: thé problem play commands the attention and sup pert of the local play-going community. CA chalienge has been issued, moreover, that the critics who disapprove of these playwrights shall establish wherein this support reflects discredit on the audience which greeted Mrs. Campbell and Miss Mary Shaw. It ean be found else where cf. this page in the form of a Jetter—which The Times prints willing 1y—commenting in terms of strong dis approval of this paper's review of “Ghosts; for all the principles ad vanced by the earnest Mr. Dieserud ap ply to the plays of Sudermann and Pinero as well as to the works of Ibsen. Without especial reference to “‘Ghests™ the question seems. to be this: Do the theaters serve good purposes in pre senting the “problem” drama? If they do, it is patent such plays deserve to succeed; if they do not, it is equally patent they deserve the condemnation of every pen which writes of the modern stage. A problem play seems io be one which deals with a subject not ordinarily dis cussed among men and women—the in violability of the marriage bond; the reclamaticn of fallen women; the pun ishment of men and women who have sinned morally; the injustice of a “double moral. standard” for the two sexes, and all the various combinations of these problems which ingenuiiy can create. In the last resdlve all problem plays seem to depend con ‘the relations works based on these questions are mani, fold. For a whole generation they have been incubating. Every new playwright reckens his success, apparently. accord ing to the audacity with which he pro “pounds the conditions of his “problem.” 5 Jue world Is running mad alter “prob Tro Jen, Diazs.” and the supply is meeting between 4 on n LL

nig eolumas advanced last Sunday a standard for the measure of such plays. It was in brief that the play should be viewed from the standpoint of “the whole audience; that it should not couple vice with attraction; that it should be clean and pure in its effect; that its spirit should be healthful and “uplifting: that the retribution, present ed as a consequence of the evil depicted, should be infused iuto every part of the play and not into the last scene only. It is firmly believed such a gauge win prove the undesirability of this whole school of dramatie writinge. That is now te be proven, if possible. On the basis of long observation it seems fair to say that the audiences whish view such works as “The Cay Lori Quex.,” a characteristic play of this clase, are rather more potable than “those which are seen io the theater “usually. These auifenceés, moreover, present no coulradiction to the general theatrical observation that the "great wajority of theatergoers arc between twenty and forty years of age. Many of these persons are very young—fully thousand youths and young girls viewed Mrs. Campbell's admirable aci lag last week-—and the majority of them are unmarried. It is to be doubted whether any person who has followed _the rise of problem plays clcsely will dispute these premises. Now, if each problem play does nothing more than sow seed of doubt in the minds of x ihcuecand young péo “ple every week as 10 the need for right living, that play is surely to be condemned. This f& no place— indeed, there is no need—te discuss the value of present moral conventions “They are product of ccnturles of civili ‘lation’ They prove their reason and value in the fact that the world is beiter worally today than ever it was before 4Apd no freedom of moral action ever espoused in any ‘‘problem’ play, not even in “Ghosts,” could exist with ‘#0 few evil consequences andl work to such generally good resuits as the tra dition it is designed to supplant. Moral force. like mechanical force. needs un ceasing control and directicen, or, ilke unrestrained weochanieal force, it will either dissipate itself into the air or wreak Camage. If anyone questions that problem plays do sow such seed of doubt, let him note the applause aL a performance of *“Sapho,” or ask those who approve of “The Gay Lord Quex"’ to what they think that -play would in cite a youthful or otherwise undeveloped mind. “Ghosts,” to cite an example in more detail, is either a study m heredity or 3 institution which every upliftiag re ligion and every decent government has invariably indorsed. “Ghosts” happens “0 express the purpose which Mr. Diese jee advances, It was certainly written tas a sequel to “A Dolls’ House.” But the author has overshot his mark. In stead of preaching the disaster of the ‘unhappy marriage exploited in “A Dolls’ House" he teaches—at least to nine per sons out of ten—a sort of fatalistic heredity. It 1s even advertised as “Ibsen's Wonderful Tragedy of Heredi iy.” Arguing from its text, the misery por trayed could only have been prevented by a dissolution of the marriage. Yet it ‘might have been a thousand times bet ter prevented before the marriage oc curred. Mr. Ibsen stands in his own (light. He would have preached to betier effect if he had never written either “A Delis’ House” or “Ghosts,” and had inveighed against wrong marriages. How likely is it that this thought, mani fest as it is to the mature mind, would even occur to a girl in a seminary, or a boy“iu his first year in the high school? Pea An old familiar answer will come from Tm Na an Pe mmm Lg... HAL, 82 a thousand sources: “These plays are not intended for children. Let those in charge of your young girls. and haif bowing boys keep them away. Adults have some claim of thelr own.” But young people will not be kept away. They never can be kept away from plays patronized by their elders. No one in apparent authority at the theaters can prevent them from attending. The the ater is public, and its managers are bound to admit these of the public who hold tickets. Those in charge of sem inaries might accomplish some reform. But they have not done so, and the like lihood is their hands are tied by blanket permissions sent their pupils by par ents. “My daughter is to see the best actors and hear the best operas,” writes the student's guardian. “I be lieve it to be a part of every education.” Such certificates leave the school ‘au thorities precious little discretion. Even adults are not exempt from thie confusion of purposes and principles, No stage device is too raw to create an il lusion in the mind of the average “god.” If “Ghosts” were to be generally pre sented, how many of its gallery patrons {could see that, even granting the play's whale contention, all the misery depicted might still have been better prevented? But the gallery is not alone in this. No {one who saw Sudermann's “The Joy of Eo cond’ doubt that it had tempo rarily attacked In nine minds out of ten the reverence for marital fidelity. The answer to the Sudermann problem is as obvious as that of the problem presented

in “Ghosts;" all the woe and despair in i playwrights, actors, and audience Hing to find such delight might have [been completely avoided if human na [ture had risen superior to temptation instead of yielding to it. Prt this was ‘not the lesson taught. Sudermann con jeeived, and Mrs. Campbell and her com pany presented, a plea that the young wife suffered unfairly and that justice would permit her to forsake her husband for a life with her lover. So much space has been given this question of effect on the audience be cause it is in substance the whole mai ter at issue. The other tests suggested ‘are substantially subdivisions of this larger contention. Who that has seen any two problem plays presented in the past five years. can think they ds not couple vice with attraction? That they are ciean and pure in their effect? That they are healthful and uplifting? That the retribution for the wrongdoing portray. “ed is not often completely ignored by the playgoers? These things are manifest. "Bui mercy for fallen women, the cry. {ing injustice of the double moral standard, surely these are things which the stage can teach legitimately.” How {often is that answer urged as a com Wplete reply to every cbjection against the prebiem play! The reclamation ot fallen women: is net to be affected by {the enactment of plays like “Sapho” lor “The Second Mrs. Tanqueray,” because most fallen women belong in an entirely different class. The woman of evil life sins usually because she wants to sin. This sympathy for her is dearly pur chased, moreover, if it means the educa tien of the nation’s whole body of young people in the vice of which such a wo man is guilty. The world is better, un de uubledly, when its people know the ature of vice and are sirong ensugh to avoid it. But they are unlikely to ac quire that strength when confused visions of vice, like tHose embodied in “Zaza,” reach their minds first. As for the alleged ‘‘double standard,” it has ex isted always, and none of the bold, reck less writing row being done on the sub joct is likely 10 accomplish half so much toward supplanting it as the example of the good men of every community, ex amples whieh sustain modern safe gudrds lpetead of attacking them. i Enough has been said to indicate thar even the good results claimed for problem plays are offset by certain and ‘grave injury. This is as true of Ibsen as of Pinero, although the one may be and i= a much greater thinker than the other. There till remains the old contention {that these plays are no worse than “Pamiet™ and *“*“Maeheth'' and that if morals. There all similarity ends. Mrs. Alving in “Ghosts” is the center of in terest and sympathy as well as the protagonist of the drama. Hamlet's mother and stepfather are neither the cenfer of interest in ‘Hamlet’ nor the object of any sympathy. They are po:o irayed clearly as wrongdoers and they suffer from the beginning of the play until they pass from the stage in direct consequence o] their wrongdoing. This is true also of Lady Macbeth. She neith er attains the sympathy of the audienc: nor escapes full punishment. But in “Ghosts” and in most other plays of this class those who bear the heaviest bur dens are portrayed as suffering for wrongs done by some one else. Shakes peare teaches the inevitable conge quences of sin. Ibsen and the lesser lights of the problem play attempt to teach the injustice of those conse quences, However, if Mr. Dieserud's parallel were entirely sound, he would still have proven nothing except that an age famed for its locseness of speech offered some thing like an analogy to the dialogue in the modern problem play. Since the day of Shakespeare the world has so far ad vanced that even Addison, “the standard of purity in his own age! used many phrases which are now proscribed. Are we to lose this advantage in order to advocate nothing more worthy than a fuller privilege of divorce than now ex ists? The truth of the matter probably is that not one person in fifty who attends a mcdern problem play conceives in definitive form the author's real or sup posed purpose in writing it. He goes much as a child touches wet paint. But it is indisputable that he goes, and that the problem drama is growing to the proportions assumed by the “corrupt drama” in the days of the English Res toration. The ead rests with the play goer, The justification for such reviews as that which The Times has published of “Ghosts” is that they tend to empha size that fact, to put the blame where it belongs—not with the actors or the man agers, but wiih the theatergoer himself. And, unless wuch protests as are now being sounded by thoughtful critics everywhere are heeded, this spirit of imprudent and erass moral discussion will override all the decent influences of the stage A.D. A. NT INT TTT NT ITT I II III I As might have been expected, both of the eminent actors who appeared in Washington last week obtained hearty support. Mrs. Campbell delineated the sufferings of oppressed womanhood Le fore audiences Which several times mes hall filled the space behind the orchestra ch: irs, her largest audience assembling for the most pronounced of her problem piays, “The Second Mrs. Tanqueray.” At the National “Sherlock Holmes,” in the person of William Gillette, greeted seven assemblages of new friends, for the old ones who viewed his play on its first presentation here must have beer little moved to attend it twice, sterling melodrama as it is. Branden Tynan aroused the enthusiasm of local followers of Robert Emmet at the La fayette. Chase's continued to hold all its old patrons and introduce new ones to its established “polite vaudeville.” The Academy and Harry E. Blaney did a thriving business. Both the Empire and Kerran's Lyceum held their own. The Columbia presents this week Mar tin Harvey, one of the most distinguished of English actors, and the creator of the chief role in “The Only Way." His success was assured on his first per formance, and his fame has run ahead of him to America. Mre. Roosevelt, very probably the President, Sir Michael Her bert, and other prominent society folk are to atiend the performance of Monday night. The Empire Theater stock con pany, one of the most capable, evenly able, _d generally distinguished or ganizations of actors on the Englich speaking stage is to appear at the Na tional in a new comedy, “The Wilder ness,” by the author of “When We Were Twenty-one.” The Washington Saenger bund, long one of the foremost musieal organizations in the city, gives its first winter concert at the National tonight. With exceptionally good vaudeville at Chase's, Lavinia Shannon at the Lafay ette, good melodrama at the Academy, the Dainty Paree Burlesquers at the Empire, and “The Brigadiers™ at the Lyceum, the week's offerings are of very notable character. THE WASHINGTON TIMES, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14. 1902, “Past and Future.” hiartin Harvey in “The Only Wav.” i te Te NT me. WC ae YY YAY ey Flushed by the triumph of an un paralleled success scored during an ex tended stay at the Herald Square Theater, New York, which was equaled in enthusiasm only by his three Years of success in England. Martin Harvey opens at the Columbia Theater on Mons day, December 15, in the play which made him famous in a night—""The Only Way.” It was upon the conclusion of the presentation of this dramatization of Dickens’ masterpiece, “A Tale of Two Cities,” almost four years ago at the Lyceum Theater, London, that Har ve” found himself an international fig ure in theatricals. The production will be seen here exactly as first presented. In addition, the large majority of the creators of the various parts will be found in the sireng supporting company that Messrs. Kilaw Erlanger have brought here from England. Mr. Hur vey is a young man to have achieved the fame that is his in his compara tively short career. But entirely apart from his native ability, his long years of apprenticeship under Sir Henry Irv ing and his long association with the traditions of the Lyceum Theater were bound to produce a result. In the pres ent instance the actor possesges all those atiributes that make for the grea: artist. Throughout his portrayal of the

sli n Ela i i g 1 lovable character of Sydney Carton, Mr. Harvey adheres closely to the nature of the man as laid down by Dickens. In fact, the drama itself follows the book closely. It is a matter of doubt whether in the entire range of char acters that he has enacted in the six teen years of his histrionic career has he found a better opportunity for the display of his many-sided art or a greater scope for his genius than that afforded by “The Only Way.” It is an intense psychological study, accentuated not alone by his great dramatic talent, but by the strong love he has acquired for a part he has now performed over one thousand times. Owing to the unusual ly heavy nature of the production the curtain will rise promptly at 3 o'clock. Matinee at 2:15. Included in the or ganization supporting Mr. Harvey are many of the players whose names were for many years associated with §ir Henry Irving. They include William Haviland, Fuller Mellish, Fred Weight, sr.; Percy Anstey, Frederick Powell, Patrick Alexander, Michael Aherbrooke, George Cooke, E. J. Frazer, E. P. Lewer, Edmund Grace, Paul Berry, H. Black more, John Alexander, A. B. Imeson, and Miss Amy Coleridge, Miss Mercy Fuller, Miss Bessie Elder, Miss Grela Hahn, Mrs. Frederick Powell, Mrs. B. M. de Sola, and Miss N. de Silva, “The Wilderness” at the National. Headed by Charles Richman and Mar garet Anglin, the Empire Theater stock company will present “The Wilderness” at the National Theater during the en suing week. This company is one of the most thoroughly trained and evenly balanced stock companies ever or ganized in this country, a fact of suffi cient interest to give its appearance in Washington great prominence. But this week's engagement is particularly note worthy for the reason that the company ‘presents a notable new comedy from the pen of H. V. Esmond, the author of “When We Were Twenty-one.” The great moment of the play is at the very end. The comedy is in three acts, and the story concerns a young girl, Mabel Vaughan, who is reared by a worldiy ‘wise mother with the idea that it ie nothing less than the duty of a young girl to mate with a man of wealth and so cial position. She fancies herself in love with a young man, but is determined nevertheless to marry a weaithy baro net, Sir Harry Milanor, who is consid erably her senior, but who is enamored of the little coguette. She accomplish es her object, but before her marriage she had written her former lover of her success with the baronet and stated that she was only marrying hira for his money. Her young lover returns after she has been married several months. He presumes to make love to her and s repulsed. He shows her the letter writ. ten before her marriage. The little wom an, who had really fallen in love with her husband, takes the letter and de clares that she will give it to her hus band and confess everything. Before she can do so the letter falls into her husband's hands. Under the impression that he is making her life unhappy, he decides to leave her, but she avows her iove for him in time, and the play ends happlly—not in the conventional way, but with a magnificent outburst of pas «ion and emotion that is intense, strong, human, aod real. In their respective roles of Sir Harry and Mabel Vaughan, Mr. Richman and Miss Anglin are cred ited with a sweeping triumph. Mr. Richman is manly and convincing, digni fled, yet ardent. Miss Anglin has a role of varying moods, demanding the trans ition from light comedy to deepest emo tion. She has a splendid grosp on every fecling, and her touch is always sure. Her comedy is delicious and her emo tion impressive. Mr. Frohman has given tbe play a most beautiful production. The first act takes place in a fashion able tea room in Bond Street, Lon don, where the modish people appear in their finest raiment. The display eof feminine finery and fashion in this scene has scarcely ever been equaled in any society play. The second act occurs in Borcambe Wcods, an idyilic bit of for. est scene, The third act takes place in the home of Sir larry Milanor, in Mayfair, London. Other well-known act ors in Mr. Frohman's comnany are Wwil MARTIN HARVEY IN “THE ONLY WAY” liam Courtleigh, W. H. Crompton, E. Y.

Jones, Kate Pattison-Selton, Lillian Thurgate, Grace Gallaher, Amy Meers, Kitty Barriscale, and Master Donald Gallaher. Polite Vaudeville at Chase's. Comedy of almost every variety—dra matic, musical, and acrobatic—has been prepared for the Chase polite vaudeville program for the current week. From every quarter of vaudeville the holiday novelties have been gathered and Chase patrons will enjoy the rare treat afford ed by the presentation in one bill of Mr. and Mrs. Clay Clement, Thomas J. Ryan, Miss Mary Richfield, the Pantzer trio, Mamie Remington and her quariet of pickaninnies, Tom Brown and Miss Edythe Navarre, the Brothers Martine, and the motion pictures of “A Trip Across the Atlantic.” Clay Clement's distinguished position, as an actor of rare quality, power and finesse, is well known. As a star during the past decade he has enjoyed a large degree of public favor. With the charming assistance afforded by Mrs. Clement, and a superior supporting company, he will offer the refreshing little comedy of love and ro mance called “The Baron's Love Story.” Will M. Cressy designed his most suc cessful dialect sketch for Thomas J. Ryan and Mary Richfield, who wili per form it here this week as the second featur~ of the bill. It is entitled “Mag Haggerty's Father.”” The Pantzer trio comes accredited as among the fore most foreign acrobats contributed this season to American entertainment, and their specialty, “A Gymnast’s Parlor Amusement,” is uniquely named. Mamie Remington and her quartet of picka pinnies will entertain with a compound of song, dance and comedy. Tom Brown and Edythe Navarre are a favorite pair in their new farcical sketch, “The Min strel and the Chinese Maiden.” The Brothers Martine with their “rebounding table” have a specialty full of surprises and laughs. The motion pictures will offer the most entertaining views of the year as they show with all the vivid ness of reality the scenes aboard the great ocean-liner “Kronprinz Wilhelm" while making the long and picturesque voyage from Bremen to New York city. Lavinia Shannon in “Beyond Pardon.’ “Beyond Pardon,” the attraction in ‘which Fred G. Ross is presenting La vinia Shannon, will be the attraction at the Lafayette Theater this week, is said to be an excellent drama, and is present ‘ed by a strong cast. The play mingles heart sentiment with the most exhllar ating laughter. It takes an artful pen 0 make the tense scenes and frequent climaxes of a strong melodrama run smoothly and without suggesting that the unusual bits of life are unreal, but the author of “The Fatal Wedding” has ‘achieved the presentation of a convinec ing story in this, his latest play, ‘“‘Be youd Pardon.” The credit for the en ‘tertaining illusions, however, is not due entircly to the author of the book, for ‘withou* intelligent and clever actors, even the i ost careful scenes could easily sink into burlesque. Lavinia Shannon as Velma, the famous actress, presents a picture that reminds one of *‘Zaza.” Her acting is said to be of great emo ‘tional nature. The company includes B. J, Lander, in the role of the Rev. Mr. Gould, the father of the erring daugh ter; Marshall Farnum as Walter Lloyd, the husband of Velma; Thomas Carlton, Louise Lewis, and others. Miss Shan ‘non's gowns are always objects of pro nounced interest to her feminine patrons. In recognition of which fact she has ‘consented to exhibit them after the Wed nesday matinee. “A Montana Outlaw” at the Academy. “A Montana Outlaw,” a new melo drama by Herbert Hall Winslow and Fred 8. Gibbs, which will be seen at the Academy of Music this week, is a West ern play of a new order. While the story is filled with strong situations and thrilling climaxes, it is said to be con sistently written and to he more refined and plausible than the average play of a sim'ar theme. The first act of "A Montana Outlaw” is laid at the ranch of Wesley Le Grand, in the Kootenai valley, of Montana. Manuel Barka, Jude Stacy, and an unscrupulous gang of cow punchers and cattle thieves quarrel, and Stacy is killed. By circumstances Le ‘Grand is made to appear the murderer, and is forced to flee for his life. Le Grand is captured and taken to jaii. At night Barka and his men break in and attempt to lynch Le Grand. Just as he is to die “Jack the Buster” appears on ‘the scene and severs the rope with a shot from his rifle. Le Grand makes his escape to a point where he can take the stage for Helena. Barka and his ‘men overtake the coach, and the hold-up is said to be thrilling in the extreme. Le Grand is tried for his life, but, through the efforts of Jack the crime is fastened upon Barka, the real murderer, and he is dragged from the courtroom and lynched. The play abounds in heart in terest, and the comedy introduced in every act is amusing and up to date, The company numbers fifteen persons, among whom are David M. Hartford, James Casey, Wilbur J. Higbee, Kath eryn Tabor, Maggie Le Clair, and Marion Hyde. Dainty Paree Burlesquers at the Empire The Dainty Paree Burlesquers will ap pear for a return engagement at the Empire Theater this week, beginning with tive matinee tomorrow. The Lwmipression made on the Empire's clientele earlier in the season was so satisfactory that Manager Schlesfhger thought it advisable to bring them back, not, however, until a number of new features had been added to the excellent program. The Dainty Paree company is one of the best traveling burlesque or ganizations, and is giving satisfaction everywhere. Two amusing burlesques are given, both replete with laughabie situations and climaxes. Among the new features is the Watermelon Trust, a quintet of the beste known colored performers on the stage. This act includes Messrs. Coates ar! Grundy and the Misses Susie Grun dy, Tinna Russell, and Lulu Coates. Shattuck and Bernard and Morrisey and Cameron are also newly added features, as is Mlle. Karina, the sensational chan sonette. Wednesday night there will be a wrestling bout between Young Grant and Frank Sayder for the featherweight championship of the district. The match promises to be one of intense interest, “The Brigadiers” at the Lvceum “The Brigadiers” will appear at the Lyceum Theater this week. This troupe is mow on its fourth tour and is an exemplar of its kind. The entertainment offered is certain tc please the most fastidious. The slogan “it is to laugh,” is fulfilled from the rise to the fall of the curtain. Starting with a rollicking first part entitled “An Extra Session," and terminating with the lively skit “A Night in Parls,” it is the embodiment of all that goes to entertain. Both parts are sandwiched with an olio par excellence, every number of which is a urique and capital “show” in itself. The Criticism Criticised. Adverse Comment on The Times’ Re view of “Ghosts.” The Times prints with pleasure the fol lowing letter from Juul Dieserud, of the Library of Congress, concerning its re view in Thursday's issue of Ibsen's “Ghosts,” as performed by Miss Mary Shaw and the George Fawcett company: “While thanking The Times for net passing the most risky and courageous of the plays of the great Norwegian dramatist in silence, I regret that so many flagrant misconceptions should have crept into the probably wellmean ing review of A. D. A. ‘Ghosts’ is by ne means primarily an effort to establish ‘a theory of indiscriminate and invari able inheritance,” and everyone familiar with the intellectual life of Germany and northern Europe during the last quar ter of the nineteenth century, as well as with the history ©f Ibsen's plays, knows that he had quite other ends in view. ‘Ghosts’ is written as an answer to those critics that raised a hue aad ery when Nora slapped the door in te face CHARLES RICHMAN IN “THE WILDERNESS.”

Ar Lott as NCOP of her husband because she found that their marital life was built upon a He, and their old relations from then on to her poor, bewildered spirit seemed only ws with intellectual and moral de generation. ‘How could she,” cried the good, soft-natured woman, ‘leave her children? ‘And how could she?” echoed ‘he servants of the church in four lands, ‘think of breaking a union that the true word of God has made holy and invio lable? ‘Good and well,” answered Ibsen, ‘and I will show you what may be the result for the child of this fine theory of yours and what under different circumstan-=z {might be the result for the woman.’ “The fact of the matter is, therefore, that while Ibsen had use for the sad the ory of inheritance, which is as well founded today, and as ably defended in scientific circles as it ever was, he by no means built his tragedy on that problem. The environment might in nine cases out {of ten be able to counteract inheritance, yet Ibsen's argument is valid as long as 'it cannot be disproved that cases may ‘exist when the evil stain in the blood will crop out. “Ibsen never was foolish enough to show up filth and depravity for the mere disquieting pleasure of the thing, Ttke some adherents of the naturalistic ‘school, or to fight against the iron laws ‘of nature. But he has through a long lite-time waged a relentless war against the foolish inventions 5f men ana such social and moral codes as needlessly contribute to swell the sea of misery and misfortune around us. And as the 'stanch champion of woman and her tights that he more than once has proved himself to be, he here in this particular play puts his finger on ‘one of those inventions, the notion that mar riages are knit in heaven and that under 20 circumstance whatever should they be broken on earth, “As to the notion that the stage is not the place to show up moral filth or hu man misery, it may be pertinent to ask why people do not then hasten to de throne Shakespeare. Is it mot conceded that one of his most powerful and ad mirable plays is that Hamlet whose mother and stepfather wuspeakabdle brutes and murderers and who was him self tainted with some of the most genuine marks of hereditary degenera cy? And are not the leading characters of that stirring soul picture, ‘Macbeth,* as fine specimens of méral filth as any body will wish to see? “The truth of the matter is that healthy pessimism and realism are re sponsible for most of the artistic efforts of mankind that ever reached or will ‘reach anything like permanent value. And when this play oft Ibsen achieved an unexpected success Wednesday it was to a great extent owing to the excellent playing, but yet primarily to the grand creative genius that conceived charac ters already bristling with a genuine, palpitating life that gave the imagina tion of the able actors something to feed on. “As for Miss Mary Shaw, she was cer. tainly as competent as any actress I have ever seen in Europe. But the Oswald of Mr. Lewis, although promising to a high degree, fell far behind the ra. markable effort of the famous Swedish Actor, August Lindberg, who, I believe, was the first to impersonate the role in Europe. JUUL DIESERUD.” Announcements, Formal and Informal E. H. Sothern in “If I Were King” and “Hamlet.” Unusual interest centers itself upon Mr. Sothern and his engagement at the National next week. He presents his two most elaborate produetions— “Hamlet,” and Franceis Villon in “If I Were King.” These two contrasting parts give theatergoers an opportunity to see Mr. Sothern in his best mastery of stage expression, and a diversified portrayal of character that has during the past two years placed him in the foremost ranks of America's greatest actors. This will, in all likelihood, be Nir. Seothern’s last visit to this city in some seasons, as a long engagement in London is confempiated in “Hamlet,” ‘and his opening of Daniel Frohman's aew Lyceum Theater in New York will

A large audience witnessed the per formance of Gilbert and Sullivan's opera “The Gondoliers,” by the Washington Opera Club at the National Rifles’ Armory last Tuesday evening. The per formance was under the direction of Profs. H. E. Saltsman and William De Ford, and was the first appearance of the clyb this season. The organization has become popular with local musie lovers and each season its progress is watched with interest. Its work Tuesday evening was especially noteworthy. Bach member of the cast was t(herough ly satisfactory. Miss Dolly Rose Hutch fnson, the leading soprano of the club this season, has an attractive personal ity and a voice of much sweetness and flexibility. The chorus evidenced careful training and won several encores. -_ ioe) bird,

Holland, bass, of Washington, was the assisting soloist. Mr. Smith has made great strides In public favor since as suming control of the music at St. John's and has proved himself a musi clan of great ability. His recitals are largely attended and thoroughly appre ciated. They will be given at intervals throughout the year. Mr. Holland is regarded as one of the finest bags solo jsts in the city and his numbers Wed pesday evening were given in excellent style.

The second Peabody recital is to be given tomorrow evening in the ballroom of the New Willard when Ernest Hutche son, pianist, will be the soloist.

Koclan has composed a serenade for violin and orchestra dedicated to Miss Alice Roosevelt and which he will play for the first time next February when he Is to be the soloist here with the Sym phony Orchestra of Washington. Sousa has added another Instrument to his band. It is the “sorrusophone.” It is “made in France’ and looks like a badly twisted section of drain pipe, but it gives the effect of a strong double bass to the military band. Sousa employes the only sorrusophone in use in this ecoun try, and it teek him six months to find a musician to play it after he had im ported the Instrument. Saxophones, those instruments that look like oxag gerated German pipes, are the ‘cellos of the wind orchestra. They are In use in French and American bands, but are not included in the instrumental scheme of the German and English bands, despite their many excellencies. The “Sousa phone” is the name of the largest of those great brass chimneys that bristle and glisten ‘in the background of the band and supply the bass passages. It is really a BB fiat helicon, adapted 10 concert purposes at the suggestion of Mr. Sousa, and renamed in his honor by the manufacturer.

Mannes’ Quartet is a new musical or ganization which gave its first concert 3 THE WASHINGTON TIMES, SUNDAY. DECEMBER 14, 1902. recently in Mendelssohn Halli, New York. An unfamiliar comp sition, Tane lew’s quartet in B flat minor, op. 4, served as the principal number. The composer is one of the younger school of Russian writers, but his work Is said to contain no startling elements. There is even little to stamp it as Russian In the source of its inspiration. It is sub stantiz] music, well-written for the four Instruments, but has no qualifications out of the ordinary. _— x Daniel Frohman will give a series of afternoon concerts at Daly's Theater after the holideys. The concerts will be under the direction of Sam Franko. The first recital is scheduled for January when the soloists will be Arneld Dol metsch and his wife, who will make their American debut on this occasion. At each of the concerts the orchestra will play sets of dances which are in tended to show the ancient composers in their gayer moods. 0

Maud Powell, the American-violinist, who has been appearing in England for several years with marked success, has been engaged for the coming English tour of Sousa and his band. Estelle Liebling, soprano, will continue with the organization. Sousa is booked for twen ty weeks and the trip will include Lon don and the provinces. The season is to open January 2 in Queen’s Hall, Lon don. Lillian Blauvelt has been engaged for the next season of opera at Covent Gar den, London. Among the roles which she will interpret are Marguerite, Juliet, Zerlina, and Micaela. Mme. Blauvelt is one of the most celebrated concert sirg ers of America, and her engagement at Covent Garden next June may be count ed as another American achievement in the foreign music world. Jeroslay Kocian, the young Bohemlan violinist, will appear at the Metropoli tan Opera House this evening at the weekly concert given there under the direction of Maurice Grau. Arrange ments were made for his appearance with his manager, Rudolph Aronson, who is directing the American tour of tha young musician. Paolo Gallico gave a piano recital in Mendelssohn Hall, New York, Tuesday afternoon, despite the freezing tempera ture of the concert room. The planist went bravely through the program which had been arranged and demon strated not only extreme courage in playing under such conditions but inter preted his numbers, particularly Chop in's B minor scherzo and Moskowski's “Caprice Espagnol,” with a delicacy and precision that compensated for their lack of variety of treatment.

Worcester may not have a musical festival this year, an event which has been an institution of national repute in the past. The management is looking insolvency in the face, and an appeal to the general public for subscriptions is being made. For a number of years past the expenses of the festival have averaged $18,000, while the average in come has been $12,000. This has, ac cordingly, reduced the reserve fund un ul the present assets are but $1,162. Melba may appear as soloist with the Symphony Orchestra of Washington. Ne gotiations are pending for her engage ment, but as the singer has not arrived in America no definite arrangements can be made. Should Melba consent to come to Washington to sing with the Sym phony Orchestra it would be another triumph for Mr. De Koven and his as sociates on the board of managers. Fanny Bloomfleld-Zeisler, the Ameri can planiste who has been creating a furore through Europe has been en gaged for one of the future concerts of the orchestra.
