The Famous Heinrichs

The fame of the wonderful Heinrich trio
is rapidly impressing itself upon the minds
of those in our midst who are always on
the alert for good music. In musical
circles one hears naturally more about the
Heinrichs than elsewhere, but by the end
of this week, when this organization will
have completed its series of three perform
ances, the Heinrichs should be known to
every man, woman and child in our city.
Those who keep themselves informed in
musical matters know that when they go
to hear Max Heinrich this week at Simpson
Auditorium they will hear a singer whose
artistic instincts are keen and true; that
they will hear a singer who cannot be sur
passed, and that they will hear ballads
sung as no other person in America can
sing them. They know that when Mrs.
Heinrich and Miss Heinrich will appear
upon the stage they will not be disap-
pointed Mrs. Heinrich's work is known to
be marked by taste, grace, tenderness and
delicacy, the work of an intelligent artist,
while the daughter, Miss Julia Heinrich,
evinces much inherited and educated mu
sical insight. Her resonant contralto voice
is treasure house. Thursday and Friday
evening and Saturday matinee at 2:30 at
the Simpson tabernacle are the dates set
for these performances.

Westminster Notes

WESTMINSTER, Nov. S.-Everything is
now in readiness for harvesting the big
celery crop. An agent representing the
eastern buyers will be here in few days
and work will begin next week. New faces
are seen in the village almost every day
investigating the new industry and ascer-
tanning the prices OF real estate in the peat
lands. The spur of the Newport railroad,
which has its terminus at the Smeltzer ware
house, three miles south of town, is likely
to be brought nearer at no distant date,
and should its promoters not see their way
to extend it to San Pedro, some other COM
pany will step in and furnish Westminster
with its longed for outlet to the world.
DR.. Gordan, late of Los Angeles, has re-
Gently acquired about 100 acres in the peat
lands and will erect handsome residence on
his property.
Ducks and duck hunters are in evidence
through the swamps, and big bags have been
the order of the day.
Westminster is rapidly becoming center
for the fancy poultry business. j. Anderson
and H. Larter and several others are put
ting their special broods on the market and
finding ready sale.
The ladies of the NJ. Z. church are pre-
pairing for their annual Thanksgiving din
ner. As in former years, there is sure to be

New York in the Senate.

Mr.. Murphy in his campaign for re-elec-
ton to the Senate is criticised upon two
points First, his vote for the Teller silver
resolution is denounced as a betrayal of The
interests of a sound money constituency:
and, second, mis- inability or disinclina ton
to participate in the debates of the Senate
is declared to be prejudicial to the great
state which he in part represents.
Complaint by republicans on the second
point is odd enough when it is considered
that they. too. sent man to the Sen tie
who never addresses the chair except to
file a petition or introduce a bill. Mr.. Plat,
like his colleague, is no speaker. He is a
very hard worker and very active in COM
mittee, but is never heard in debate and
never delivers set speech on any subject
He and Mr.. Murphy sit through the most
exciting discussions of the most important
subjects, but never contribute anything but
their votes.
New York has grown to be little sensi-
tive on this question. She has had in her
time such eloquent and effective speakers
in that body she feels that she has lost in
prestige by the change to two men who.
however able they may be in party man.

Jones, are all ahead of the empire state in

quently count for very much.
The difference between the democratic
and republican attitude in the premises is
that. while each party has sent a silent
man to the Senate, the democracy proposes
at this time to keep it's representative in
commission. Mr.. Murphy has no oppesi-
uon IN his own party. If the democrats
carry the legislature he is certain to be
reelected. Republican success, on the
other hand, will mean the election of some
one of several brilliant men whose names
are already being canvassed in connection
with the office. Joseph H. Choate Chaun-

The New York police have just captured
burglar of note Under circumstances
which suggest-that modern life offers many
temptations to the man of skill and discre-
ton to engage in this pI ofitable but delicate
enterprise. The revelation of his identity
likewise illustrates how uncertain Is the
ground on which such lawbreakers walk
Recently there fell into the hands of the

a burglar of skill and daring, perhaps a
murderer. an all-round criminal Not de-

Street Hallway Nisfits.

The other day collision occurred at the
corner of 9th and G streets in this city be-
tween an electric car on the Metropolitan
line and a horse car on the AnacOstia line
The switch boy and a passenger were
slightly hurt, and the damage was at
minimum. The danger of such accidents
with more disastrous results, is constant
as long as horse and electric cars are per-
mitted to occupy the same tracks. For
tunately a law now exists which will ulti-
mately put an end to these conditions. The
act approved June % last, relating to the
treatment of abandoned car tracks in the
District provides that on and after one
year from that date it shall be unlawful
for any street railway company now or
hencefOrth operating over any portion of the
underground electric lines of another COM
pany to continue to 50 operate or to enter
into reciprocal trackage arrangements with
any other company, unless it's motive power
for the propulsion of cars shall be the same
as that of the company whose tracks are
used are to be used. A penalty is pro-
vided for violation of the statute When
this act takes effect next June the present
anomalous condition giving rise to such ac-
cidents that of Thursday, which has had
many predecessors, will be ended unless
the offending company prefers to pay the
high price of ten dollars per car for the
privilege of running horse cars over cleo
trio car tracks. Some such law has ap-
peared to be necessary to put an end to a
nuisance which has seemed interminable

The question of a stamping tour by Col
onel Roosevelt has been wisely decided.
The republican candidate will be heard in
the principal cities of New York state and
at few places in the country districts.
He Will discuss both state and national
issues, and commit himself as fully as the
occasion demands
When the matter was first proposed
few people expressed a fear that Colonel
Roosevelt on the stump might injure his
cause by injudiciOus utterances 1t was
urged that his temperament. at all times
warm. might in the excitement of cam
pa.gning betray him into a freedom of
speech undesirable in a candidate in a Wig
oTous contest. But the public expression OIL
this fear added to the argument of the
other side. \ candidate who could not be
trusted with his own voice could not be
expected to attract voters at the polls And
so Colonel Roosevelt will go before the
people of New York in person. tell them
where he stands. and give them opportu-
nifty to interrogate him directly on any
point concerning which they may desire
the fullest Information

whereabouts. OF course Mason, actuated
by the principe of honor among thieves
which is believed to be generally regarded
by the leading followers of the craft, had
not mentioned names. nor had he given any
tips. But among his papers, which had
been confiscaced. were certain references to
an address in Brooklyn in a connection
which led to the suspicion that this prince
of pilferers lived there. There was no name
connected with the address, but names are
of little account when tabituaI lawbreakers
are concerned. They change their names as
they do their clothes. The house was
watched, the neighbors were questioned
and the police learned that highly re-
spectacle commercial traveller named Travis
lived there with his wife and mother-in-
law. He was constantly going and coming
with sample cases. Notwithstanding the
good repute of Mr. Travis he was shad-
owed and finally traced to New Haven,
where. instead of concerning himself with
the business places, as commercial man
would, he was found to be deeply interested
in the residential quarters. The next day
the detectives arrested Travis as he step
ped from the train in New York, laden
with booty. They had the right man, for
in few hours came the news of an extern
sive burglary in New Haven. His wife and
mother-in-law and other relatives and all
his neighbors were shocked at the dis
closure of his profession, while his house
was found to contain large stores of stolen
treasure. This man had been working as a
cracksman for years, unsupported even by
his own family, making a rich living out
of his Jimmy and his master keys. There
is no telling how long he would have sue
cessfully concealed his occupation had not
big Bill Mason bewailed his folly in not
following so shining an example. Travis
is an educated man, gentlemanly in his
bearing, shrewd and discreet. He may
have many prototypes, for all the world now
knows. His IS not the first case on record
of a reputable citizen engaged in crime I'M

When the officials of the Treasury De-
partment recently saw fit to remove the
superintendent of construction at the new
city post office building it was announced
that one of the prime reasons for the
change was the desire of the supervising
architect to hasten the work. in order that
the building might be ready for occupancy
within the shortest possible period. the
public placed only as much faith in this
declaration as was warranted by the long
sar:es of disappointments connected with
this and other public constructions. Yes
terday, however, the supervising architect
arose to explain that the change in super
intendents would operate to delay instead
of to hasten the completion and occupation
of the building.
Any excuse seems to suffice at the Treas
TRY and Post Office Departments for the
successive delays in the completion of the
building. NJ it Is the attitude of the
workmen who have not been paid: now it
is the need for change in the office of
superintendent now it is the change itself
