deal OF valuable Information. il finds
that the yellow fever originated al

ton, but not from the United States
marine hospital quarantine station at
Ship Island as was supposed. and 1t
declares that the quarantine station is
not menace or danger to the health
of the Gulf coast o. the South.
Those who did not think that the

musical extravaganza, entitled "Gayest

by its performance during the entire

Charles t'roh mans "Never Again.

Charles h'roh hman's "NeVer Again"
Unless the proverbial great and warm
appreciation OF fine acting, and OF the
legitimate comedy, and OF high class
merriment Of Washington utterly fails,
this city will next week join the chain
OF distinguished communities that have
practically declared Charles Frohman's
character comedy Never Again" to be
the funniest, most entertaining and best
played Offering Of the noted play pro
ducer, Charles Frohman, not in the
least unmindiul or forgetting he goodly
fortunes he had made through
"Charley's Aunt" and "Too Much
Johnson" the Gay Parisians" declare
that "Never Again" had surpassed in
pecuniary return, IN expressed popular
ity and in the general satisfaction il
afforded any production OF a light nature
he had ever became sponsor for. The
plays record for six months Of crowded
houses at the Garrick Theatre, New
York, three months at Hooley's,
Chicago, one month at the Boston
Museum, two weeks at the Broad Street
Theatre, Philadelphia; single weeks at
Baltimore, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Harlem,
Newark, Brooklyn 1.-TWO different visits
this IS enough to establish its fame on
a very firm basis. The original French
version the MS. which Charles Froh-
man purchased) has run over one year
at the Vaudeville, Paris. and recently,
with, in the main, an American cast,
"Never Again" was produced at the
London Vaudeville. Few comedies
ever attained so wide and great popu-
larity. This play with all the original
encourage, and interpreted by splendid
company. comes to the New National
Theatre next Monday, Jan. "a. In the
corps Of players--assuredly as anv one
can see-are such distinguished artists
as z. NJ Holland, Samuel Reed, George
Marion, James KeaTney, Charles
Eldredge, Joseph McKeever, Grace
KimbalI. Anita Rothe and many others,
names familiar to the theatre goer all
over the country. One reason claimed
iCr the success achieved by "Never
Again" is that while the audience
laughs almost continuously and most
heartily the laughter IS caused by sensi.
BILE incidents and actions, aud not by
absurdities. In a word no one is ashamed
Of having appreciated the fun and jolllty
to the fullest extent.

A Word 20 Our German American
Colleague

A Word 20 Our German "A IN erican
Colleague,
The fearful blow which the Ger
man.Americans have received
from the Republican party through
the passage Of the Lodge Immi-
grafton bill, most especially those
OF you who belong to the Repub-
lican party or have assisted as gold
Democrats to bring that miserable
Know-NOthing concern into
power, has fully convinced all that
every particle of manhood and
self respect commands you to pun
ish the Republican party for the
insult it has heaped upon you and
the adopted citizens in general.
Never have the German-American
press, the German-American Asso-
Citations, both religious and secu-
lar, been so much aroused than
they were during the last months
against the passage of that bill.
Hundreds OF thousands OF the
eight millions OF German-Ameri-
can citizens have signed their
names to the protests against that
outrage.
But all that has been treated by
your Mckinley party, which you
helped to elect, with disdain and
contumelY, Not a single Repub-
lican Senator has come to your
assistance. They all voted for the
bill and kicked you aside. They
did not care a damn for you.
You cannot stand such treat
ment. You cannot continue to ad-
wise your readers to adhere, il thew
have anv idea of manhood and lib
erty, to such a miserable Know
Nothing party any longer.
You must tell them to iorsake
their treacherous enemies and sup
port at the next elections the ap-
proved and tried friends OF the inn
migrant. Who they are you can
easily ascertain by giancing at the
2S Senators who voted against the
As Republicans. Though badly
treated and frequently defeated by
you, they stuck to the old creed OF
the Democratic party: Protection
and advancement OF immigration,
the great source oiour unparalleled
progress! They did not forsake
you!
You can no longer betray the
best interests Of the adopted citi-
zens under the gold and silver
humbug cry. You need not sell
your liberties for gold. That ques
ton will be settled without your
being compelled to advance Know
Nothingism and keep your bitter
enemies in power.
Stand by your friends and defeat
your Know-Nothing allies at the
next elections. You will have to
! to do il!

to read or write, should be accep

Senator spOOner

Asconsin, a State full OF orig
Bhsl German and Scandinavian
settlers, caused the immigration
bill to be so amended that reading
or writing should be the test.
The reason why all the German
Americans opposed the bill was
the educational test question itself.
They kneH that because the Ger
mans must submit TO that humili-
ating test when they arrived in this
country, it would have a bad IN
fiuence on German immigration
and keep it away from this coun-
try. Already the German immi-
grafton has fallen off feariulIy, as
the home Government as we'll as
other agencies will use the feel
sing against immigration, as indi-
Bcated in the Lodge bill, and do
Their best to direct that immigra-
tion TO other countries.
III is generally understood that
the Germans will never come to
this country to the same extent as
has been the case heretofore. They
do not like to go to a country
where they are not well received.
