COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade" says: No better evidence oil
industrial and commercial activity is
needed than present inadequate trans
porting facilities. Every form OF rail-
way equipment from track to rolling
stock has been increased and perfected
duHhg the past few years to an extent
that appeared almost excessive, yet the
nations business has more than kept
pace.
Unseasonably mild weather has re-
tarded retail trade at many points, yet
the movement OF goods is fully sus-
tanned by undiminished preparations
ior future sales. Distribution delayed
by high temperature is not lost, while
the agricultural community will profit
very materially by the hardness Of
irost, increasing their ability to con-
sumo the products OF factories and
mills.
Labor is more fully employed than at
any recent date, only few small con-
.royersies interrupting. Money market
pressure has been removed and, al
though securities do not respond, le-
gitimade trade is not retarded by quiet
speculation. Earnings OF the railways
during October thus far exceed last
years by 4.5 per cent. and those OF
1900 by 40 per cent.
Coke is still the vital factor in the
iron and steel situation. Not only has
no Improvement occurred but the sup.
ply OF fuel is falling further behind, and
the outlook is alarming.
No improvement appears in the de-
mand for mems wear, wooden or wor'
;ted fabrics, new orders being fol
small quantities only and not sugges
tive of a genuine supplementary de-
mand for spring weights. Although the
movement of sample pieces from first
hands is on liberal scale, there are
still numerous complaints OF late de-
livery. Silk goods are firm, with
scarcity in many descriptions. Deliv'
cries OF footwear on old orders are
very heavy and New England producers
are receiving fair contracts for staple
lines running into next March

DRINK CAUSED HIS DEATH.
Too Much Water Blamed For De-
mise of Eben Waters.

mise or Epen waters.
A dispatch from Salem, Mass, con
veys the information that Eben
Waters (prophetic name), SO years
old, died last week from excessive
water drinking. He did not Indulge
in alcoholic drinks of any kind, and
he is said to have been temperate IN
all things except his appetite for
water. It was his habit to drink
three quarts Of water every day, and
this, his doctors say, resulted in com
plications that proved fatal" At any
rate, he died. 1t is a sad case TO con.
template. Here was a man cut OF
m the prime of life, at the perihelion
Of his usefulness, so to speak, and
all because of the lack Of little
wholesome restraint. 1t is charitable
TO believe that he was not wholly re
Sponsible. 1t may have been that he
VAS al only son, and that his doting
parents spoiled him, allowed him to
have his own way too often, and did
hot point out strongly enough that
self-indulgence is the shortest path
TO the grave. Of course, they see
their error now that it is too late,
which 10 the cause Of fully .one-third
of the tragedies Of life. Scientists
aver that the average of life is great
er now than at any other period in
the history of man, and that more in
terest is taken in the subject of long
eyity. If this be so, there is moral
in the untimely demise of Mr.. Waters.

"BOHEMlRN GIRL" AT CHASE'S
Several Few Members Add to the Elk
ceIlence Of the Local Company.

Balfe's "The bohemian Girl" with its
wealth of tuneful music and Interesting
story, and with piug-pong and free ice
cream as side attractions, delighted two
large audiences at Chase's yesterday.
The opera has not been heard in Wash
ington for some years, and on this ac-
count was all the more enjoyable.
In determining TO revive the Balfe
piece. Manager Chase realized that the
same voices that sung the music OF the
lighter works that have been used so
far during the current season OF opera
would not do for such a pretentious
score as The Bohemian Girl" So TWO
new principals, Anna LIGHTER and Ethel
Houston DuFre, were especially engaged
for the production. and their efforts
made it possible for the opera 10 score
a most substantial success.
Miss LIGHTER possesses a pleasing.
flexible. and well-modulated soprano, and
has considerable dramatic ability, while
Miss DuFre's contraIto is exceptionally
role of the Gypsy Queen. Her work is
characterized by a dramatic intensity
that lends much interest to the inter-
probation. Seldom have two better sing
ers participated in a local production
of standard opera.

Two New Members in Company
Ping Pong and Ice Cream On The Side.
THE C0LUMBIA-"Captain Swift"
comedy drama by Haddon Chambers
in four acts. The cast:

The second week Of the Arden COM
pany at the Columbia Theater opened
auspiciously last night with a revival OF
Hadaon Chambers play. "Captain
Swift"
The piece was used last summer to
inaugurate the season By the resident
stock company, and in it Mr. Arden
scored his greatest success of his local
engagement. While the story has q
slight melodramatic tendency. it Is told
in such subtle, delicate way that every
yestige OF melodrama in its action is
eliminated, and it becomes an intense
and truly human story OF English life.
From a money making standpoint
Dramatist Chambers is guilty Of one
fault-the ending OF his story. But when
artistic principles are considered. and
the probable results were the story an
actuality, then Captain Swift" may be
counted among the few stage stories
which are worked out according to hu-
man laws. and with proper regard for
ccnsis -ncy.
The pr ! highly entertaining. Swift
is gei -.aan thief, the terror OF Aus
traIians. and magnet in a London
drawing room. Having established an
unprecedented record Of crime in the
antipcdes. he comes to London firmly
determined to lead q new life, but the
unrelenting. unremitting forces Of the
law follow him, ard scatter his hopes
for better things.
In telling the story, the author has as
spmed happy mlngling of pathos and
comedy The character of Swift sup
plies q minor tone to the brightness OF
The home life Of an English family. His
effort to be AZ other men. the awakening
of his better nature through his love for
a girl. and the continual suspicions and
doubts that meet him everywhere make
The character one Of the most interest
ing. human, and pathetic stage studies
IN recent years.
Mr. Ardens conception Of Swift Is the
same artistic study that lifted him to
local popularity last year. He handles
the role with skill, playing it with
quiet, studied grasp that reveals the in
mcst feelings Of the man.
One Of She prettiest and most sug-
gestiye scenes in the play is the destruc-
gosts the utter hopeIessness of his love |
for Stella.
William Il. Post plays Marshall. the |
servant, exceedingly we'll. while Thomas |
4 Coleman is seen In the role of Gardi- |
ner. the part which he enacted so sue
cessfully last season. Mr.. Wallace |
presents an agreeable person
ality but lacks repcse in the role OF |
Harry, while Feuwick Leach gives a /
study Of Ryan. the detective. /
The role of Stella Darbisher affords |
Miss Hall but little more opportunity 1
for good work than the one assigned to /
her last week. In several scenes. how |
ever, she displays considerable dramatic /
ability and poise. Miss Emily Melville. |
q newcomer to the Columbia. gives d re- |
fined and sympathetic reading of the |
rcle Of Mrs. seabrook and is particu-
larly effective in the third act in the /
scene with Mr.. Arden.
