Kernan's Opening Tomorrow.

With the support of the Empire circuit,
which practically gives him monopoly
in the booking of burlesque combinations
in Washington, and with a playhouse
which has been thoroughly renovated
during the vacation and possesses per-
manent clientele, Manager Herman will
inaugurate his sixteenth season tomor-
row afternoon with no misgivings.
The "Topsy Turvey Burlesquers. the
opening show, will doubtless prove a rep
resentative organization and be as high
in standard and as free from objection

and are subject to the pruning knife
which the combination into which the
Lycoum management has entered Yields
with an unrelenting hand. The Herman
patrons, who are more or less familiar
with the realm OF burlesque. may be
pleased to know that the opening attrac-
ton is in the hands Of experienced man
ayers like James ]. Butler, of st. Louis
and Jacobs & Lowry. of the Merry
Maidens' all of whom have achieved
success The organization marks a new
departure in the shape of new faces, anu

Amelia bingham has decided to begin
rehearsals Of The Climbers" during the
latter part of this month. and has in
structed her business manager to secure
Broadway theatre for the purpose of
giving a dress rehearsal of the play.
Clyde Fitch will arrive from europe to
supervise it.
Miss Ringham's somewhat unusual pro-
cedure in regard to a production that ran
for some 2o0 nights at the Bijou Theatre
New York, is caused by her desire to give
her patrons in the cities in which she will
present The Climbers a perforna nee
with that perfection of detail so admired
by Gotham theatregoers.

Fascinating Old Silver.

TeapCts and coffeepots do not go back very far. since tea and coffee were hot introduced into Europe until the seventeenth century. and no silver tea pct or kettle is known of earlier than 11U9. Festoons and medalliens are characteristic ornaments of tea pots of the time Of tie carly Georges. Not until the middle of the eighteenth century, however, do We find silver urnS, tea straiAers and tea eaddies. Cream iGgs followed the fashions of the larger pieces.
 Tlc first English saGeeboa, :n silver belongs to the year 111227. Silver can dlesticIls are older, being found first. with square bases and fluted columns. in the reign of Charles II. MedallionS. festoons and drapery characterize later candlesticks, and the Corinthian col umn pattern, so great faYorite, was first introduced about 1T65. Cake ba:- kets of the lc3utiful cut silver in which Paul Lainerie so cXcellod as a maker belong also Ia tie eighteenth century. Many trays and salTer. were made in this cut silver. which now. ly the way. is again i'll fashion, and dtservedly so. -Uarper's Bazar

In the numerous chairs, on the Office
lounge and standing were 20 more
waiting for a turn TO press some claim
for position.
The attorney general was rather a
grun looking man. and he dismissed
each with the remark: IL can't do any
thing for you. Sorry. you know. but
there are hundreds of applicants. and
each officer, every legislator. has
dozen begging for each position"
handed the impatient looking officer n
letter. She said nothing. She hardly
looked into his face.
I'm sorry, Miss C.. that | can do
nothing for you. IL was foolish for you
TO come here expecting to get work. I'd
be glad TO help you II could; but. you

Yesterday afternoon Pleas
Combs, colored, was on trial before
Judge Bradford, charged with
malicious mischief. 1t was charg-
ed that he killed two of Ruff Lol-
ly's hogs. Ii developed on the
stand that Virgil UpSn, with
whom Combs was boarding, was
implicated in the killing of the
hogs, as it was Upson's crops the
hogs were ravaging.
Epson was called for and hap
pened to be in the court house.
He was placed on the stand and
swore that he knew nothing about
it. Other witnesses were exam
ined and the evidence was so
strong against Upson that Judge
Bradford had him arrested and
held for future examination on the
same charge.
Combs finally pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to thirty days in Jail
and to pay the value of the hogs.

Christian Church Revival

A very large and attentive aud
ience greeted Brother johnson at
the Christian church Friday night.
The preacher took for his subject:
How to be Saved" In part he
said the Bible was the only source
of information to guide men in
this matter; man is not expected
to have an experience, neither will
feeling tell him that he has saliva
tion. The word of God clearly
gives plan whereby man may
have eternal life; it tells what to
do and how to do it. Brother
johnson made an earnest appeal
for men to lay claim to this prom
Use of God.
The solo of the evening was a
song in Scotch dialect-"My Ain
