GAYETY GIRLS STRANDED.
Company of twenty-five Hungr
and Helpless.

and Helpless.
The Cuban Gayety Girls" a company of
burlesque and vaudeville artists, to the
number of twenty-five, were stranded in
the city yesterday. The company, headed
by Manager McMonihan, reached Washing
ton from Winchester, Va, at $50 o'clock
yesterday morning.
It was expected that the manager would
receive money order here, which would
carry the company to Philadelphia, but it
was not forthcoming, and the members
mingled disconsolately with the trunks con-
tanning the costumes and belongings on the
platform.
When noon had arrived the situation was
unchanged, and the manager had become
decidedly persona non grata. 1t was finally
decided to enlist the aid of the Elks in the
city. A delegation called at the lodge, and
Mr. E. b. Hay accompanied them to SAM
tary Officer Franks place of business That
gentleman equipped each of the twenty
two with ticket to Philadelphia, and Mr.
Hay took the hungry Thespians out and
fed them.
The members were still in a quandary
as to what to do with their trunks, but an
arrangement was made by which they were
transferred to the Quaker city, where they
will be held until cost of transportation is
paid.
The company hopes to reorganfze and
open at one of the variety houses in Phila-
delphia next week.

WASHINGTON PROBABLY WINS.

Salt Lake Practically Comedies the
Teachers Convention to the Capital.
Private advices received here by a men,
Der OF the board of trade indicate that
Washington will almost surely be chosen
as the next meeting place for the National
Educational Association. The competition
between the capital and Salt Lake City has
been very sharp but the visit of the ex-
aiming committee of the organization
created such favorable impressions that it
now seems certain that the western city is
not lin the running"
1t is said the only thing that prevents the
announcement of Washington as the con-
vention city is the fact that the railroads
nave not yet agreed to the propositions of
the special committee 1t is believed, how
ever, that they will grant the demands.
one OF the most reassuring evidences Of
the ultimate selection of Washington is the
Following statement, which appeared in the
Salt Lake Daily Tribune of October 3:
The appointment Of the place for hold
ing the next meeting of the National Edu-
cational Association will be made by the
executive committee of that body the pres-
emf month"; The committee consists of
State Superintendent Skinner of New York,
Superintendent Lane of Chicago, Superin-
tendent Greenwood of Kansas City, Presi-
dent Irwin Shepard of the Winona (Minn.)
State Normal School and Prof. McNeilI of
Superior, Wis.
AS these gentlemen have been here
within the past few years, they do not
consider 1t necessary to visit Salt Lake be-
fore making a. choice Notwithstanding the
TACT that majority of the committee has
neen favorable to this city, it is now
thought that the next meeting will be held
az washington, as there are large num-
per OF teachers who desire to visit the ma
tlonal capital. Superintendent MilIspaugh.

But recent developments indicate, as
stated, that Salt Lake will not secure the
prize, but that 1t will go to Washington.

The compromise recently effected between
the two factions of the republicans in
Prince Georges county is causing much
comment and no small amount of bitter
feeling.
DR.. N. A. Ryan, who is the regular NOM
inee for the state senate, and whose name
was withdrawn in the compromise in order
to allow Capt. c. G. Gordon to go on the
ticket, severely denouhces the action taken
by those who made the compromise.
A large meeting of the doctors friends
was held last night, and it was decided
that his name should not be Withdrawn.
DR.. Ryan and his friends claim that he was
sacrificed by Representative Mudd, al
though the latter assured him that his in
terests would be taken care Of He now
intends to continue his fight for the state
senate.
1t is stated that George Rollins, the NOM
inee for county commissioner on the regu-
lar ticket, whose Lame was withdrawn to
give place for Claude G. Mckee, will also
protest against withdrawing from the field.

Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the young col

gressional Library, where he was recently
appointed to a position by Librarian John
Russell Young. He is an attendant in the
reading room.
Dunbar had talk with The Star re-

rican features but has pleasant face and
a forehead infinitely better developed than
the majority of his race. He is dark in
color. He is modest and speaks with no
suspicion OF elation. He speaks remarkably

Poor Pay for Literary Work.
Dunbar stated that literary work was
not nearly so well paid for in England as
mere guinea for a contribution is
deemed ample pay, he said, and he cited the
case of a rising young writer, who wrote
two pages for periodical, and received in
return, after waiting a year or more for
the contribution to be published, a half
guinea.

Preference for Prose.
Dunbar first published poem in one of
