SIR LANG A CHESTERFIELD.
Interesting Story of the New Chinese
Minister'S Courtesy.

Minister'S Courtesy.
1t is generally prophesied by those
who know that Sir Liang Chen Tung,
the now Chinese minister, will be even
a greater favorite with Americans than
Wu Ting-fang has been, for it is said
that he has all of Wus progressiveness
without any of his prying inquisitive-
ness.
AS one lady, who met Liang in Lon
don, expresses it: I'm addition to being
an enterprising man he also has man
ners.'
Illustrating this fact she tells an in
teresting little anecdote OF the new
Chinese diplomat, says the Saturday
Evening Post. Liang was attending an
afternoon tea in an important London
house. The hostess inadvertently put a
lump of sugar and cream In Liang's
cup. Now the Chinese under ordinary
circumstances would no more offend
his palate by putting cream and sugar
in tea than German would by putting
it in beer. This fact was we'll known
to the husband of the hostess, who
happened to be talking to Lang when
the maltreated tea was handed him.
my dear" said the husband. II am
afraid you have made a mistake. Tea
should always be served plain to those
who know how to drink it,"
mot at ALL" interposed Liang with a
most charming bow. "There are occa-
sions when it's finest flavor is brought
out by the judicious admixture OF
cream and sugar" and he emptied his
cup to the very dregs.
Nov, that was heroic" declared the
Washington lady in telling the story,
land worthy of IA Chesterfield"

PLAYHOUSES
OF The CITY
CHANGES IN THE BILL AT THE
DIXIE THEATRE.
New Feature Substituted for the
Gossips Whom Manager Dixie Did
Not Consider the Kind of Talent
He Wanted--Regular Season at the
Lyceum will Open on Tuesday
Night with the Production of
"Nathan Hale" - Another New
Theatre for Next Season.

There was change in the pro-
gramme at the Dixie theatre last night,
where well-pleased audience enjoyed
the vaudeville features of the new
playhouse. Charles Grapewin's Cos
sips were replaced by the Tanakas, an
nounced as team of "Oriental wonder
workers and champion top spinners."
The act is known as the most ex-
pensively dressed performance of its
kind in America today.
The Tanakas' work was thoroughly
appreciated. Manager Dixie was hard
ly satisfied with the work of the Cos
sips, Monday night, and Immediately
Cancelled the act after the performance,
and had the Tanakas brought on from
New York, going down personally to
engage them.
Another New Theater.
Manager Harrington of the Star
theater is authority for the statement
that at the close of this season the
present Star theater will disappear en-
tirely and on the site will be erected one
of the prettiest burlesque houses in this
part of the country.
The Star will open for the season
next Monday with the "Moonlight
Maids the company which opened the
Dewey theater in New York last Mon
day night. This year the Star is a
member of the Empire circuit which
is made up of the best vaudeville houses
in the leading cities of the country.
Opens Next Tuesday.
The regular amusement season at the
Lyceum will open next Tuesday night
when Nathan Hale will be pre-
sented.
While no very notable changes have
been made in the house during the year,
it has been greatly frightened and en-
bellshed and still holds it's place as
one of the most attractive theaters any,
where in this region.
