The continued contrariness of the man
in charge of the local Weather Bureau and
the unchecked ambitions of the mercury
have combined TO wreck Washington's the
atrical season. and the final engagements

ing sun instead of in a blaze OF glory.
The amusement year in this city is very

empty galleries. This state OF affairs was
continued throughout the date and so,
while '-Treiaway CT the Wells" captured
records from its rivals. receipts
were not big. At the Columbia the
Frawley Company presented "All the Com
forts OF Home 10 gatherings more select
than large, and high-class vaudeville at

trayed the old slave in Uncle Toms Cab

Academy while Rose Sydell's LONDON

at drawing people to keTnan's. and the

pose Of ascertaining what books are most
popular, the drama which would lead
would probably be THE Wife" OF course.
there have been many great works written
since David Belasco and Henry C. De Mile
collaborated on the Lyceum comedy, but
most of them have appealed TO one or more
styles Of people. The lovers OF war pro-
ducts are divided between Shenandoah"

plausible arguments are advanced to prove
that either The Magistrate" or What
Happened TO Jones' is the best farce of a
decade and those who admire simple
strength swear by "Trilby'' or ''The Sena-
tor" But when Il comes TO a record for
having appealed to and pleased the great
majority of theatregoers without regard to
section, sex or state of culture The Wife"
counted one of the most profitable OF stock
bills and consequntly there is reason for
real satisfaction in the fact that the p;ece
has been chosen as the Offering for the
sixth week OF the Frawiey Company at the
Columbia.
The selection is all the more a subject
for felicitation when 1t is considered that
Manager Frawley has under engagement;
the very actors and actresses who should
appear to the best advantage in the We
hicie Among these are men and women
who won favor with him in San Francisco,
and whose familiarity with the roles as
signed them is certain to add TO the
smoothness OF the performance. Thus
Mr.. Frawiey himself has been seen often
in the part OF John Rutherford, while
Charles King has made a hit as the gal
liant Major Putnam and though Selene
Johnson played Lucille Ferrant to the
Helen Truman Of Blanche Bates in Calf

rlngton Reynolds. who has been acting as
Henry Miller's leading man, will be seen
as Robert Gray.

have witnessed the Offering. Robert Gray
Is the former sweetheart Of THE Wife

tempts to link with the young fellows in
a scandal, 10 the detriment of Rutherford s
political prospects. The scene in which
these two men meet in a ballroom will be
recalled as one OF the strongest In stage

the revelation OF his spouse's early love
affair, stands firm and in order to silence
comment sends her TO dance with Gray.

FRIENDS OF LAST WEEK.

There are certain countries in the south
ern portion of the world in which men or
women who have reached an age so ad-
vanced that they are no longer OF use are
put to death. To a civilized people the
practice seems inhuman and terrible-its
adoption in land like this would be i'm
possible And, yet, while natural senti-
ment renders obnoxious the idea of killing
an individual when he has ceased to bene
fit himself or anyone else the principle is
undoubtedly practicable. Things unable TO
upheld themselves should be and generally
are destroyed. A glaring exception to this
rule is Uncle Toms Cabin a sensational
lot of doggerel that would not have been
tolerated tw=lty years ago save for its
doctrine and which now lacks even the ex-
cuse of having mission. So notably has
the piece failed to support itself that
