How They BAIT Their Hooks and

The people in different parts Of the
country, wherever the names can be
secured, are receiving confidential
letters from concerns that offer to
sell bogus money. In these letters
are newspaper articles giving q de
scription Of the new counterfeits,
which they are using, and also in
structions how to telegraph. We
have seen two such letters. We copy

"OUR MALINDY" AT HARRIS.
A Comedy Drama, With a Strong Cast
the Attraction.

sour Malindy," the attraction at Harris
Bijou Theatre this week, is a comedy-drama
In the true sense of the term. The fun is
strong and freely dispensed, but there is
nevertheless plot for it all. 1t is aSouthern
story. A young man, who has been disap-
pointed in love, and who drifts down to the
level of typical tramp, is the central figure.
The character is one which requires dextrous
treatment, and it is said that Mr.. Walter
Fletcher handles it in mastery manner.
The tramp, Appetite Bin, as he pictures him,
is happy golucky fellow, with sense of
honor that has outlived his prosperity, and an
occasional touch of pathos that is extremely
effective The lovers are united at the end of
the play in a natural and gratifying manner,
The company has been carefully selected. 1t
includes Miss Kate Dunloe, who fills the title
role in a manner that has made her many ad-
mirers. Miss Jennie Whitbeek has won favor
by her clever singing and dancing. The
Magnolia Quartette is one of the strong
musical features of the company. Matinees

knights OF Pythias At Glen Echo.

The knights of Pythias did not have a very
good day on Wednesday, for their picnic at
Glen Echo, the frequent showers having
tendency to keep people away from the
grounds in the early part of the day. A goodly
number came out in their uniforms during
the afternoon with their families but many re-
turned before night, as 1t still threatened to
storm. The evening audience, however, re-
ceived reinforcement from the city, and the
concert at s O'Clock was very good one.
Mr.. D. B. Macleod presided at the organ, and
Mrs. Mills at the piano. Mrs. j. Esputa
Daily sang a fine contralto solo, "Call Me
Back" and Professor Mori sang the Brazilian
Bird song from David, in an excellent manner.
Mr.. Geoffrey Stein sang Bedouin love song
very well, while Miss Hattie Meads' fresh
young voice was heard to good advantage ia
the "Echon song. All the singers were com
plimented with an encore, but only Professor
Mori and Miss Meads responded. The day
passed off very pleasantly for those knights
and their families who spent the day at the
Glen. The tub and sock races had to be
postponed, The Glen Echo nine beat the

Extensive Arrangements Made for the
Golden Eagle Excursion.
The united excursion committee has about
completed its arrangements for the excursion
to River View on the 25th instant. Two
boats have been chartered and an extra boat
has been engage to run should necessity
demand it, SO that the friends of the order
may be amply provided for without any fear
of overcrowding. There will be sop arate
band on each boat. On the grounds the dane
ing music will be furnished and In the
evening the consolidated bands will give
a lawn concert. 1t is proposed to make this
one of the greatest events of the season. The
committee has entire charge OF both boats
and grounds, so that the arrangements are
perfect and order is guaranteed. The funds
realized from the excursion are to be expended
in the relief of the sick brothers. The order
hopes to have the hearty cooperation of
the general public as well as that of their
friends
The knights of the Golden Eagle is a
charitable organization and its growth has
been phenomenal. There are six castles in

are due to the excursion committee and
especially to Chairman Warren and Secretary
Williamson, for the efficient manner in
which they have conducted the affairs of the

necessary to name each member of the COM

Lawrence MGrston's interesting drama. The
plot deals with the intrigue of the minister of

A TALK WITH MISS LEWIS.
She Defends the People of the Stage from
SANDER.

She Defends the People of the Stage from
SANDER.
Miss Lillian Lewis, the actress, is woman
whom to talk with is to admire. Her beauty
is of the statuesque type, and combines grace
and dignity. By birth she is a Kentuckian.
Her travels extend from Yokohoma to San
Francisco, and from Ceylon to Alaska Miss
Lewis has fund of "reminiscences and anec-
dotes which she relates in an interesting
style. In the course of conversation with a
HERALD reporter Miss Lewis said: "In my
travels have found that the two words How
much,' when spoken by an American, are
understood in all countries. ! have found
them to be a password everywhere. Next
year or the year after shall take company
of my own on trip around the world. No
sir, it is my opinion that scandalous stories
about actresses are a very. poor advertising
method The public of to-day requires Just
as much virtue and purity from the drama and
from its eXponents as from the pulpit and its
disciples. 1t is for this very reason that the
drama is progressing. The actors and act
resses of to-day are more cultured, more re-
fined, more genteel by birth and educa-
tion than the actors fifty years ago were.
The men in the profession look, speak, be-
have, live, and dress like gentlemen, and
from personal observation can say that they
are gentlemen. Women, in my opinion, are
naturally better than men; by nature they do
not incline towards evil, their sentiments,
like their bearing, is gentle. The woman does
not live who does not wish to be as beautiful
as possible 1t is this love of the beautiful
which makes her character noble. l know q
great many actresses; taken as a class, l
boldly say that they are good wives and
mothers, pure, noble-minded, and generous.
'''Credit Lorraine is good play. There is
plenty of action, plenty of excitement and
plenty of intensity in it. The hero or villain
of the class whose only aim appears to be
desire to be hero or villain is something of the
past. The public to-day is inqusitiYe and
very particular about detail. 1t wants to
know what means of making living the hero
or the villain has. In this respect Mr.. Law
renee Marston, the author of Credit Lor-
raine,' has been exact.
"I never speak of my costumes" replied
Miss Lewis to question. II allow them to
speak for themselves"
