The Acanthus club in Washington
forms the nucleus Of the $50" OF the
Capital City ColOred men have a
natural liking for politics and preaching
and oratory, and the gathering OF the
statesmen at Washington has great
attraction for them. The old time

Mrs. Terrell is the daughter OF a
wealthy colored man and was educated
in Germany. She is a great aid to her
husband in advancing his social pres

much attention to dress and the smaller

not now have a liveried seneschal at
the Fifth avenue house. The door is In
the morning opened by a natty person
OF the female sex and uncertain
age, and the valetaille appear only at
night. But the Astors have not been
alone In their suffering. The Wander
bits spend more money than any other
New Workers on their servants, and
they have made three distinct changes
lately TO escape the persistence OF a
parvenu imitator. IL is stated that the
lackeys of sweldom propose organizing
for self-defense, as they find 1t unpleas-
ant to change their attire three times In
as many hours,
or course, the lackeys do not pay for
their own clothes which, as rule, cost

dollars suit. A footmans boots are
twenty dollars per pair. However, IL
pays milionares TO spend money In this
way. They could never enjoy their
fortunes without good servants. The
Astors have two servitors who have

Mr.. Thomas play is a strange mix
/ ture merit and faults, in which, how
ever, the former largely predominates.
The story is very pretty, the dialect al
ways bright, the comedy enforced
and the pathos effective, while
OF bathos there IS none. Still the
/ play falls short OF greatness. The locale
| is presumably correctly drawn, but
somehow "In Mzzoura" seems to be
lacking in what might be called sin
certify Of atmosphere. The flaw, while
10 leaves marked impression upon the
critical suditor,i Is nevertheless so vague
that IL is difficult TO point IL out sDeci-
dcally. But, on the whole, "In Miz-
zOura" is a really good play and re-
markedly fine character study. Wheth-
er il possesses the elements of wear
common to some of Mr.. Thomas
earlier works remains to be seen.
Mr.. Goodwin mas never before at
tempted a role like that Of Jim Rad
burn. We have so long been accustomed
to seeing him In comedy, with leaning
to farce, that il is difficult to accept him
seriously in a serious part. OF course
this is nonSense-nOt reasOn-but IL IS
also truth. In reality Mr.. Goodwin's
performance is highly creditable one,
and he is TO be commended for giving
mis- powers full swing. He is earnest
perhaps at times trife too much So
and above all sincere and conscientious.
He does not resort in his new play to
any stage tricks to catch the smiles or
tears of the audience. He simply plays
the part as man would live it, and
that plan will in the end win most
praise.

American cities that the south and the
British Isles should be looked upon with

are usually. of course, the wives of the
members of the Sons of New York, or
