kcrnan's "nig City sports.v

A good combination of fun, music. at
tractive young women, and clever special
ties is furnished this week at Kernan's
Lyceum Theatre by Sheridan's Big City
Sports company. The organization is as
good as ever, and it has always been
classed among the best.
No burlesque company seems complete
nowadays without an atheletic feature,
and the big City Sports has a card in
a basketball game which is the last thing
on the programme. and is played in very
lively fashion by the young ladies of the
company. The teams play we'll and could

feathers and a pound of lead The weight
may be disguised in softhess. but it is
there. Mrs. Biankenburg is the wife Of
Rudolf Blankcuburg who has been a
thorn in the side OF Mr. Quay for some
years; and the plan which she and other
clubwomen of Philadelphia have matured
is not likely to make the machine poll
ticians happy. II may turn out in a dif-
ferent sense from that intended by
Solomon. that in the ease OF the new
women who is the wife OF new reform
er, the heart of her husband doth safely
trust in her"
But about this reform movement. Mrs.
Blankenburs intends to begin operations
Immediately upon returning home. The

a long narrow ward. fairly representative
Of the population Of the city. II includes
some homes Of wealthy residents some
business houses, some disorderly houses.
and slice OF the notorious Chinese
quarter. hall will pc secured and
citing called of the women Of the ward
in the interest OF reform
Three principal subjects will be- taken
up. One is pure water. At present Phil
adelphia is supplied with the water Of the
Schuylkill. flowing through the cO.I re
giOns and full OF coal dust and typhoid
germs. The second subject is that Of the
juvenile court, recently established
through the efforts of sullragists. This
affects the children OF many OF the women
OF this ward. and efforts have been re
Gently made to prove that the bill provid-
ing the court was Illegal. Thus far the
efforts have failed. The third subject to
be taken up is the suppression of disor-
derly houses, also a matter OF vital in
terest to the women of this section OF the
city.
1t is the purpose OF Mrs. Blankenburg
to direct attention rather to reform than
TO the matter OF suffrage. She realizes
that the best way to prove the right OF
women to vote will be to prove that they
can do some good with the ballot, and she
is in dead earnest about what she calls
reform in municipal housekeeping. An
other matter which will be talked over in
ashes and garbage. for which the pro-
vision is row wofully Inadequate.
What is going to happen when these
wonens clubs get TO work remains to be
seen. But two points are clear. The
first is that Mrs. Blankenburg wishes to
bring all classes Of women together on
purely business footing. with the purpose
OF doing good. honest work in the direc-
tion OF reform, and no nonsense OF any
kind about II.
The other is that the object of the
movement will be practical. All of the
matters taken up will be such as are of
direct and personal interest to women and
men both, and reform in which will add
! materially to the comfort of the whole
population. with the possible exception OF
the people who are neglecting their
proper business OF taking care of the
city's health and cleanliness. The
womens movement in Philadelphia this
fall is not going to be any theory. 1t is
going to be characterized by considerable
horse sense.

The Observation-Disclosures ohicers.'

Last night the Bellows stock company
presented Brother Officers" at the La
fayette Theatre and gave portion OF the
Washington public an opportunitl to wit
ness play which was counted among the
successes of last season.
Brother Officers is well written. the
locale being one wherein lie many pos
sibilities of dialogue and situation. The
story is well defined and absorpingiy IN
teresting, though its conclusion Is uhsat-
isfying in the extreme. The heroic'
whole souled efforts of Lieutenant-erSt-
while Serseant-Hands TO do the proper
thing, and his unfailng misfortune IN al
ways doing the wrong. gives one feel
ing of genuine and never-ending unrest
out OF sheer sympathy--a feeling which
has its climax when the other fellow
gets the girl. Otherwise the play Is
bright and wholesome, with a spirited vein
of comedy, and much of the military at
mosphere to make 1t as interesting as
such plays usually are.
AS far as enacting the role OF Lieu
tenant Kinds Is concerned. White Whit

yond criticism. His reading Is always

A portion OF the report is devoted to the
municipal police.
Colonel Allen. while stating that this

late of woman suffrage, to the delight
icf the audience. There were people in

member of the New York Assembly he
roted for woman suffrage.
