Another Theater Nuisance.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t is indeed source of great qualification
to notice that the broadsides which The
hats have been so effective. One cannot
fail but observe the beautiful, unobstruc-
tive bonnets that now take the place of the
former high hat Notifications How was
this accomplished? Why, through The
Stars continuous war in opposition to
them. So therefore If The Star was power
tainly can bring the following to pass:
Star readers have no doubt observed the
man who persists in going out between the
acts, presumably to see a friend. They
have also no doubt noticed the annoyance
he causes to the occupants of the same row
as he passes cut. They must all rise SO as
to give him ample room to pass. Now, it
gram, fans. opera glassessand even smelling
salts,it is exceedingly awkward and annoy
ing to rise to allow theiaforesaid wish to
see friend man to pass
If, however these uneasy ones cannot re-
sist the temptation to- see their friends be-
tween the acts, some provision should be
made to give them the nend seats. or even
have them Gagged in q separate portion of
the theater, where they Gin company with
the onion eaters) would have full sway. If
this could not be done the friendly man"
could bring his friends In pint or quart
bottle, or these patent. thirst quenchable
drops This kind of man is as much of a
nuisance to the -goedy''- men as to- the
ladies, who thoroughly despise him.
The Star would receive the blessings of a
suffering theater going humanity If it
would ''calF' down these fellows 1t did
the former theater hats:

THE NEGROES AND LIBERIA.
One Who Thinks Mr.. Morgnn's PrOpO.
sitiOn Comes Too Late.

one VINO fh1nkS MOfSUhS IrOpO.
sftiOn Comes Too Late.
In a recent interview Senator Morgan Of
Alabama was quoted as indorsing the move
nlent for the colonization Of southern ne
groes in Liberia and giving at some length
his reasons therefor. The publication Of
the interview has called forth dissenting
opinions from a number of readers of The
Star.
Mr.. John A. Scott believes that the ma
jority of the thrifty, intelligent negroes
prefer to remain in this country. They
were born here, and he contends that his
country is as much the home of the negro
as Of the white man. AS to the question of
ancestry, Mr.. Scott holds that the rights
of the negro and the white man in this
country are equal. the one coming here by
emigration from the fatherland, the other
part of Justice to send the negro back to
his fatherland after he has won his right
to stay here by a residence of 300 years.
Mr. Scott suggests that had Senator Nor
gans plan of deportation been put into
practice forty years ago every negro of
the southern country would have hailed it
as a glad delverance. Mr.. Scott regrets
that there was no Senator at that time
with compassionate heart to deliver the
negro from the horrors of slavery. In
stead Of sending the negro back to Africa
in those days the white man was more
anxious to get negroes from Africa, Mr..
Scott says. He thinks that the proffered
help for the negro comes at rather late
day, inasmuch as the negro is now helping
himself.
