BRILLIANT MIND OF

Colonel Irgersou's OratiOns are regard

brother. Ebon Ingersoll. who died in 1879
1t was his demise that brought forth that
celebrated and exquisite eulogy that has
been considered the greatest burst OF ten
der eloquence since Shakespeare's speech
of Marc Antony over the body of Julius
Caesar. The euIogy reads:
My Friends: ! am going to do that
which the dead often promised he would

and raptured with the world, he passed

CAPTAIN Carter Has Friends

NEW YORK, July 21.-A special TO the
World from Washington says: During
the last session of Congress a resolution
was introduced by Amos Cummings to
investigate the Carter case. but the reso-
luton was pigeonholed by the Committee
on Military Affairs and nothing has since
been heard of it. The assertion is made
pended by the lobby for Captain Carter
and his friends to prevent a favorable re-
port on this resolution. Representative
Hull of Iowa. chairman Of the Commit
tee on Military Affairs, is warm per-
sonal friend of the convicted captain.

Robert G. Ingerson has gone to see
what his system of philosophy is
worth. The man, his life and his work
will be widely and variously dis
cussed, but in all the wide and vari-

weak point that men of to-day are
too close to him to judge him. The
effect of his words and his works
needs perspective. He has died as

The Snow King and "Old Boreas' have
been dropped from the list of attractions
at the Bijou and this week there will be no
"frosts'' at this popular house The pro-
gramme presented yesterday is certainly a

headliners, anyone OF whom should prove
a good drawing card

teams, something unusual, but very en-
joyable to the large audiences which as

reason is termed Great" probably be-
cause his limitations are all of great men.
His speciality is very clever. In face and
action he presents good likenesses of Ma
poleon, Bismarck, Sousa, and other no.
tables. Flora Parker is dainty little
singer of coon songs Francis Hartly and
Andy Aman proved amusing in a neat
character sketch and little Mona, with
Banks Winter. pleased in an original
sketch in which their singing was a feat
ure Joseph Stinson and Anna Merton
formed the next team, which scored hit
in cleverly- presented playlet Smith and
Campbell are newcomers here and there
and entertaining. The five Whirlwinds are
retained for this week and they easily re-
peated their former success, and the Bijou
Stock Company offered new budget OF
song and dance in which Dot Davenport
in her new selection, pleased so well that
she was recalled FIVE times. Nina Collins
Teddy Pasquelena, and w. S. Thornton
also scored heavily.

CoIumbia-"The Geisha.u

While not presented by an all-star cast
the performance of THE Geisha'' given
last night at the Columbia was most pleas
ing and scored well-deserved success, be-
ing heartily received by an audience which
tried the oft tested capacity of the theatre.
For years the dainty airs embodied in the
opera of the tea house have been in the
popular mind, and to the majority the re-
turn of the piece was as that of a we'll
loved and highly respected friend-to 9TH
ers the enjoyment was new. The story of
the tWo-act opera is too well known to
bear repetition, even did not merit depend
almost entirely upon the cast at any rate.
If the present visit of The Geisha" does
nothing else it will be remembered as
serving TO introduce to the attention of the
Washington public a most charming SOU
brette, little Minnie Ashley, who assumes
the role of Mollie SeamOre. While possess
ing voice of only plea size and a physical
form of proportional calibre, Miss Ashley
achieves an immense personal success.

many dainty personalities all add charm
to her effort. Hiss Ashley works hard at

FIGHTING OVER SECURITIES.
Another Motion In the Case of Star
ring vs.. SIadovich.

In the case of Olivia c. Starring against
George Sladovch and his attorney, E. Hill
ton Jackson, to recover possession of GER
tain valuable negotiable papers, on motion
of Lambert & Lambert, the plaintiffs at
torneys Justice Cox today signed an order
requiring the defendants TO show cause on
Thursday, February %, why certain pa
pers claimed by the plaintiff, now in the
possession of the Clerk of the Supreme
Court of the District should not be return
ed to her. This motion was based upon the
fact that certain of the negotiable papers
in question. are already endorsed by the
plaintiff. and are soon TO come due.
The suit against Sladovich is the out
growth of difference between him and
Mrs. Starring, by whom he was employed
in clerical capacity. He, however, MAIN
/ tanned that he had been engaged by the
plaintiff, as counsel and adviser, and
claimed large compensation for his serv-
| ices When Sladovch left Mrs. Starring S
home at 1455 Massachusetts Avenue, he
carried with him about S35. 900 worth OF
| valuable papers, and it was upon the de-
posit OF these with the United States Mar
shall for the District, that he was released
| from arrest under ne eXeat proceedings
! These securities were later, at the request
| of Lambert & Lambert, given into the
| custody of John R. Young, Clerk of the
Supreme Court of the District
