ment at the Columbia next week, under
the direction of David -Belasco. Will be in
a play which bears the significant title
of The Auctioneer." 1t is comedy of

the unexplored East Side of New York

to date and it is said that Warfield has
been provided with a character in which
all his versatile abilities find full scope.
The Auctioneor" has been provided
with careful scenic equipment and a cast
uncommonly large for productions of this

The Burton Holme. Lectures.

Burton Holmes, the lecturer on travel.
is now in his ninth season, which in
every way promises to be the most sue
cessful of his career. Although young
man he has attained prominence as
lecturer seldom reached by any one other
than his famous predecessor, Mr.. John L.
Stoddard. The friendship which existed
between these two gentlemen, formed at
Cberammergau in 1880, and ripened by
frequent meetings in distant parts of the
world and at home in succeeding years,
proved of the utmost advantage to the
younger lecturer. for on the retirement of
MIR. Stoddard, some five years ago, ne
practically nominated Mr.. Holmes as his
legitimate successor. Although Mr..
Holmes at that time had created for him
self an enviable position as a platform
speaker, still he had never been heard
to any great extent in the larger cities
of the East but upon his learning of Mr..
Stoddards retirement the latter gentle
man and his managers gave Mr.. Holmes
every possible assistance. Mr.. Holmes
will give lectures at the Columbia five
Tuesday afternoons, beginning February
Is. Subjects: "St. Petersburg" Mos
cow" siberia" Picking" Seoul, the
Capital of Korea

The EIks' Carnival.

The Elks, not to be outdone, have en-
tered into amicable competition with the
Bostock and Ferari's numerous attrac-
tions that will compose the amusement
features of the Elks'' midwinter carnival
at Convention Hall February to 10.
The Elks' attraction will be an ''old
country store" presided over by MEM
bers of the Washington lodge. This loca-
tion in the hall will be the trysting place
and rendezvous of the Eiks and their
visiting friends. If you have never seen
store of this kind We think that in
paying it a visit it would interest you
very much. as from present accounts it
will be a fac-simile reproduction and a
decided novelty. In this store in cramped
quarters will be every old thing from a
pin to cheese and silk. All you have to
do is to ask for what you want.

Europe. and do a high wire act.
Carroll Johnson is called the Beau
Brummel of Minstrelsy." and as he's the
only one that lays claim to the title. it
seems to warrant his right to it. Hilda
Thomas and Lou Hall will present their
sketch, called "A Lone Star The De
Haven Trio are newcomers, who have
a song and dance novelty. The Three
Keatons are also unfamiliar. but OF good
repute as acrobatic comedians. Maude

riders instead of three.

Sousa's Band Concert.

A man of action assuredly is john
Philip Sousa. During the last year he
gave forty-eight weeks OF concerts with
his famous band. visiting 250 different
cities in America and Great Britain,
travelling 10000 miles, while now, after
q brief rest. he is already embarked
upon another of his remarke BILE tours in
this country. Sousa is the first American
composer and conductor to secure recog-
milton in foreign lands, and it Is no ex-
aggeration to state that his popularity
at home and abroad is second to that OF
no other musician
1t will be good news to the countless
admirers of Sousa, of his music. and OF
his band to learn that his famous or
ganization will be heard here In concert

Sousa will present three soloists, already

NO MORE TREASURY
WAR BOND PURCHASES
President Opposed to Paying
High Premiums.
RUMOR OF SPLIT WITH Mr.. GAGE

1t was stated yesterday at the Treas
ury Department ON reliable information
that Mr.. Shaw, the incoming Secretary OF
the Treasury, intends to put stop to the
purchase of the bonds on account of the
Spanish-Americ war.
The opinion prevails that President
Roosevelt does not agree with Secretary
Cages policy in regard TO the advissbility
of buying back the bonds at high
premium, and ruInor in this connection
has it that this Influenced Mr.. Gage TO re
sign.
Hold Bond Issue Was Unyvisc.
Men yersed in money matters maintain
that the issuing of bonds was not the
best measure to raise the funds needed
to fill the war chest, and say that the
best proof OF this is the high premiums
which the bonds commanded when repur-
chased by the Treasury.

Circulation Reduced to the MAXI
mum Allowed by Law.

During November. December, and jan
uary, the national bank circulation has
been reduced TO the amount OF s.. 900, 900
per month, the maximum allowed by law.
Comptroller Ridgeley has adopted tine
rule that hereafter applications made by
banks will not be considered unless ac-
companied by official assurances that they
will be carried out. Heretofore many
banks have filed applications for retiring
a part of their circulation. but have with
drawn them near the end OF the month.
