SOLDIERS PAY IRREGULAR.
The Officers and Men In the Philip
pines Complain.

The War Department is in receipt Of
numerous complaints recently because
the soldiers in the Philippines have not
been paid regularly. The men in the ser
vice in the islands are obliged to go two
months, and sometimes longer. without
receiving their money. while the practice
in the other departments of the army is
to pay monthly.
The reasons assigned for the delay are
that there are few paymasters in the
Philippines compared TO the number of
- there, and also that the troops are
scattered over a vast territory and are
difficult Of access. The complaints come
from the officers as well as the enlisted
men.

The sationai-Mny Irwin.

"Madge Smith, Attorney" the merry
farce to be seen al the National next
week, with Miss May Irwin as it's popular
star. affords as marked an exemplihcation
of extraordinary success as can be found
in the list of current attractions. Success
nowadays for star must be accomplished
either by great talent or rare personal
magnetism Sometimes these qualities
are combined though rarely. Miss Irwin
certainly has a lot of histrionic ability
and a personality as magnetic as it is
comprehensive.
Miss Irwin. however. according to all
reports, may be said to have found a
striking exception in her new play by
Ramsey Morris. which Is proving itself
to be genuinely comic and productive of
much unfeigned hilarity. But however
clever is the play, the star is always more
so. Miss Irwin Is the embodiment of good
humor and spontaneous fun. She has only
to appear on the stage and close bond
of sympathy is at once established be-
tween the two sides of the footlights.
II is something more than mere inspira-
ton that enables singer to get as much
out of a simple little song as Miss Irwin
does out of any Of the little ditties she
renders so inimitably. Miss Irwin and
her new play have been one of the con-
spicuous hits on Broadway this year. and
her appearances here will probably be the
occasion of a series of packed houses.
The sale of seats opens this morning.
