ADJUSTMENTS FOR SUMNER.

The Washington public has at last been
given a performance which they can enjoy
not only as whole, but in part The success
of the midsummer Show at Albaugh's
Grand Opera House during the present week
has clearly demonstrated this fact.
This high class vaudeville performance
which is now in progress is clever departure
from the conventional lines of Summer
amusement. The Living Pictures was the
start, and now Manager Allen gives US rare
and refined specially company fresh from the
roof gardens of New York. and closely re-
semblIng the performances given at the swell
vaudeville club in New York city.
The speciaties which the artists perform
this week and next week are mostly new TO
the public OF Washington. In addition to
being unique novelties, they are OF an ex-
ceedingly refined nature, combining the
qualities of originality with refinement
Every artist so far this week has made de-
cided hit and received numerous recalls,
proving the expediency of Manager Aliens
nnovation.
Helene Mora, the famous female baritone,
has created quite sensation with her mar
velous voice and her rendition OF the " Lib
erty Bell song. LIE Petit Freddy has won
the female portion of the audience ut each per-
formance. Although only ~ years of age,
this chiid-actor has made an enviable reputa-
ton. or
The same is true of the remainder OF the
cast, including Dashaway and Mouton. Sa-
lambos, Monroe and Mack, George II. Wood,
Capitola Forrest and Little Georgia Bryton.
Next week a complete change OF bill viii! he
made. presenting new features and introduce
ing new artists. Another important feature of
this week and next weeks performance is the

performance.
Nineteen numbers are now given each
night, and each one gains its own applause
upon the merits of its Individuality The
pictures will include the Dance Hour at the
Temple OF Dionysius. from the famous pic
ture by Schneider. The attendance of ladies
at the performances of the mid summer show
is especially noticeable. Each nights audi
ence shows majority OF the fair sex, and their
appreciation of the speciaities is evidenced by
their applause.
"Ruth's Romance and "a Bachelor OF
Arts are renewing the favorable impression
they made last season, and the New National
is well filled at each performance of these
clever comedies.
For next week. which is the seventh of the
comedy season, the management have selected
IAN Arabian Night" This play is an adapta-
ton from the German of Won Moser by the
able playwright. Sydney Grundy, and is
purely farcical in its theme.
IAN Arabian Night enjoyed two very sue
cessful runs at Daly's theater. New YORK,
and Won Moser has furnished the material for:
several of Augustin Days big successes.
This play is particularly suited to the abilities
OF the stock company, and special scenery
will be employed in its mounting. The salB

NOT WORTH ADVERTISING.

Ordinarily such a freak as Carl Browne
. Iii never create sensation, except, per-
il ;.s he might become insane enough to cage
il ~ asylum; but circumstances have brought
this man prominently before the public and
h;-:e given him a notoriety that is ridiculous,
ii not interesting.
Lack of employment. and the novelty of a
crusade on Washington caused a number Of
itinerant workingmen to join Browne and
Coxey in their Ill advised march to Congress.
From the beginning Browne gave evidence
of an unsound mind, and his blasphemous
impersonation of reincarnated Christ con-
vinced most people that he was nothing more
than crank demagogue.
If there was any doubt as to the sanity of
this reiacarnated Coxeyite his performance
yesterday must have dispeled it. No one but
a crank. an idiot, or clown would have at
tempted to impersonate a iaxen-haired god
dess. and now that the real condition of
Browne is known. he should be taken care
of and not allowed to confidence the pub
lie any longer.
Il is mistaken charity to support such
cranks as Browne in ideness. His pretense
that he is trying to push Coxey's road bill
through Congress is a falsehood, pure and
simple. He is worse than demagogue, be-
cause there is method in his Madness and his
wild rantings of attempts to bring about
legislation in behalf of working people are
nothing more than bids for charity.
There are too many Coxeys and Brownies in
the country for the good Of wage-earners, and
If the press would cease advertising them in
sensational reports their power to do harm
would be curta:led. Their schemes are as wild
and unreasonable as Brownies poor brain, and
their methods as harmful as fallacious. There
can be o good come from such men, and the
nooner they are turned down the better it
will be for the public.

LOOKING TO THE NEXT FOURTH.

The people of this District yesterday eele-
brated the natal day OF a nation one of whose
cardinal guarantees to its citizens is the right
OF the ballot.
OF course 1t was commendable for District
residents to celebrate, but with how much
more spirit could they have entered into the
day if the privilege of the ballot were theirs.
As it is now, we are merely wards OF the gov
ernment, and the appointed District officials
are the trustees Of our rights.
What difference Of nature or environment
is it that separates the citizen Of the District
from the citizen Of the state? There can be
no consistent objection to franchise for the,
District. Let US have our constitutional
rights before the next Fourth of July, and the
day will be all that it signifies.

 tric Light Globe and a Japanese Basket.
 One of the most artistic and original bits of fancy work seen in a long time is holder for burnt matches, which has been described and illustrated by The Housekeeper. Its novelty lies in the use of one of the small incandescent electric light globes as a balloon, the basket attached to this forming the "holder" proper. They may be obtained at almost any building where this sys- tenn of lighting is used. The globes in time ''burn out' or become defective and can be obtained for few cents or for nothing. The remaining materials necessary for the balloon are the small Japanese basket, costing or 3 cents, a yard of ribbon three-eight1s of an inch wide, three skeinse of floss and a scrap of bias velvet or plush.
 Make n chain of from 10 to 90 stitch es, according to the size of globe, with the floss, using a small sized crochet hook. Throw the thread over to form a long stitch and catch back into the chain. Make cue chain stitch, then an- other long stitch, and proceed in this manner across the original chain Turn and go back across this TOW in exactly the same way and proceed thus until a square of the open work is formed. From each corner of this square crochet a chain which shall be long enough to reach to the top of the basket-from five to six inches. Better too long than too short.
 A small circular piece of plush or velvet should be used to cover the lower end of the globe. The edges may be caught up about the side with a few long stitches. Fold in the edges of q bias piece of the plush, leaving it just

This piece will cover the edge of the circular piece just described, and a few slanring stitches made with the floss will draw the two ends together and hold the band firmly in place.
 Before adjusting this piece the cro- chetcd square should he drawn over the globe and each chain caught by a few stitches to the sides of the circular piece which covers the end After fastening the bias piece add the same slanting stitches that gro used to fasten the ends together Octtug this fastening como over one of tine Cruchctcd cordsl to the plush where each Curd comes, as shown in the illustration.

 It is a peculiarity about the public statues in New York city that they have had to be provided by popular subscrip tion with little or no aid from the city. An exception to the rule is the monu- ment in Madison square erected in 1857 in honor of Major General Worth. The city paid for that. Most of the other statues have been erected by private en- terprises-
 Individuals paid for the bronze statue of Franklin on Printing House square, that of Alexander Hamilton in Central park, the statue of Daniel Webster in the same place and the Irving statue in Bryant square. Tho Scotch residents of New York contributed to the erection of the Scott statue in Central park in 1871 and of the Robert Burns statue in 1880. The German citizens of New York pre- sented the bronze bust of Humboldt on the one hundredsh anniversary of his birth, in 1869, and ten years before that they had provided for the expense of the Schiller statue in Central park. The French citizens of New York raised the money for the Lafayette statue erected III OulOn sQusiTe III lotos iHisu SitlZCho for the bust of Thomas Moore, erected in Central park in 1880; the Venezuela residents of New York for the equestrian statue of Bolivar in 1884, and the Ital- ian residents of New York for two statues-that of Mazzini, erected in Gen. tral park in 1878, and the Garibaldi statue, erected in Washington square a few years later.
 The statue of Holley, the civil engi- neer, was unveiled in 1890 by the civil engineers, and the telegraphers gave the statue of Professor Morse in Central park, which was erected in 1871. The German singing societies contributed the statue of Beethoven erected in Gen. tral park in 1884, and the postmen fur nished that of S. s. Cox, erected in Astor place. Tho Lincoln statue in Union square was erected by popular subscrip- tion in 1865. The equestrian statue of | George Washington on the same square is many years older. The latest statue of Washington was erected on the sub treasury steps facing Broad street in | 1889. There are three statues of illus trious Americans on Madison square proper, exclusive of the Worth monu- ment. They perpetuate the memories of Admiral Farragut, William H. Seward and Roscoe Conkling.

and West.
 The diminished use of boots is a mat ter of concern to the manufacturers of them and to the producers of heavy leather and heavy calfskins- Twenty years ago the calf boot industry was 8 leading one in New England. Whole towns were studded with factories which produced calf boots exclusively. For 8 decade the sale has been gradually fall ing of, and today it is of hardly any importance. A few manufacturers of shoes include boots as a speciality, but the demand is too light to amount to much. When calf boots were more in yogue, manufacturers consulted the par ualities of the cowboys, to whom price was a secondary consideration The legs were frequently corded with silk stitching. The star and crescent and other fanciful ornamentations were in laid on the legs of the boots. There were high heels, and boots were striking specimens of mechanical art. The soles were inlaid with copper, zinc and brass nails. The cowboys no longer pay SIS for pair of boots. They want substance instead of show. But they were not the only wearers of calf boots. They were extensively worn Many men prefer them today, though the number is grow ing less. The old fashioned stoga boots were formerly sold in large quantities They are well nigh obsolete. There fol- lowed a demand for a lighter and more stylish article A kip boot of Cner tex ture was produced, about equal in ap- pearance to the best calf boot, but this. too, has fallen somewhat into disuse, and the sales this season are scarcely over one-half the usual amount. Where there were 20 factories producing boots exclusively there is now not one Even the farmers are using heavy shoes in- stead of boots. and if it becomes a ne cessity to wear long legged boots they buy rubber.-ShOe and Leatha- Report CT.
