Government Clerks and Their Debts

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Having noticed several communications
in the independent and fair-dealing Star in
reference to the dishonest government en-
ployes not being compelled to pay their
honest debts, I would suggest that in view
of the fact that the various departments
and bureaus of the United States govern
ment seem to be indifferent on this sub
ject, notwithstanding orders are occa-
sionally published admonishiEg clerks to
pay their debts, a petition of leading
merchants be presented in the coming
Congress requesting that an act or reso-
luton be passed by which the salary of an
cmploye can be attached, and thereby the
department be relieved from the useless
efforts made by merchants to induce debt
ors to pay their debts. SUFFERER.

GOING TO THE RACES. s."-The Broth
ers Byrne, who come to the Columbia
Theater next week, are famous the world
over originators and producers, and are
today the representative pantOmimic per-
formers of this country. Their production
of ''S Bells" the past seven years was
one of the big money makers, and their an
nual appearance has always been hailed
with Joy by our amusement-loving people.
This season they are presenting an entirely
new pantomimic racing comedy, entitled
Going to the Races" a production far su-
perior to 'S Bells and presented on
scale of magnitude never before attempted
in the history of pantomirnic comedy.
Everything is new, the scenery, the me-
chanical effects and the tricks. They are
all original ideas, conceived, arranged and
produced by John r. Ryrne, who has no
equal in this line of work. The entire
Byrne family, four in number appear in
the leading characters and they are sup
ported by company numbering over fifty
people. One of the strong features is the
great race scene in which six thorough
bred race horses are introduced, ridden by
six professional Jockeys, presenting one OF
the most realistic and novel race effects
ever produced. 1t is the acme of stage
realism and is far superior to all other
so-called race scenes. There are a dozen
laughs to the minute in Going to the
Races SO no can afford to miss it.
''PRlSONtsR Or LENDA. The an
nouncement of the engagement at the
Academy of Music next week of the great

Prisoner of Zenda.' will be hailed with de-
light by the mass of the best theater-
eoers. The company, as during the past
four seasons, is under the personal man
agement of Mr.. Daniel Frohman, which
will at once stamp il as one of the best
ganizations on the road. Although last
year was the fourth year of the career OF
this remarkable play, and r1ast plays are
considered to he most profitable if they
last out two years, the pecuniary success
was so great that it has been decided TO
give it for another year. Special care has
been taken to make the production this
year stronger than ever. The leading role
the dual one of Rassendyil and the king
will be assumed by Howard Could whose
clever personation of ii in the past has SO
materially added to its success The seen
cry is fine and requires a special baggage
car for its transportation.

BACHELOR MAIDS GIVE A DANCE.
Not One Member OF the Sterner Sex Was
Present at the Affnir.

Young men are at a discount in the
village of Daytona, Fla That is, they
are not needed by the girls Of the viii
lage at balls and parties. This was
fully demonstrated when the bachelor
maids of Daytona, an organization
composed of the leading society girls in
the town, gave what they called
dove dance" to their numerous girl
friends Not one member of the stern
er sex was present, and the girls united
in saying that they never had such
lovely and enjoyable time before. The
dudes and young men in love with the
girls are consequently much perturbed
over the discovery that they are not
essential To the Daytonia girls idea f
enjoyment
The way the bachelor maids managed
the affair was as follows: The girls
were divided into two sets-one- half, in
dark tailor gowns. doing the honors
and taking the lead, as 1t We're, while
the other half, in pretty evening cos
tunes, maintained their feminine roles
with unwonted enthusiasm. The mem
bers of the II. X. 7. G. We're magnani-
nous in rendering the use of the club
house for the affair, and 1t was an ideal
spot, for it was Drawing the enemy on
his own ground. AS the enemy. how
ever, had decamped en- masse, the girls
held undisputed sway and enjoyed to
the full extent the pleasures of "a night
at the club.
The dainty orders of dance were of
pale lavender, with white cords and
pencils. The outside announced The

Batterman contending that the sale
was not made. Gillie was made stake
holder and Macfarlane furnished
proofs that the sale had been made, and
then Batterman squealed and ordered
Gillie not to pay the money, hence the
suit which was instituted yesterday.
