an exceedingly strong play. The

Of much merit. At Elks new theater
tonight
The New Orleans Minstrels gave
performance in the canvas theater
at the corner of Fourth and Court
streets last night. The tent was
packed. and many were turned away
because there was no more room. The
idea of presenting a minstrel perform
ance under canvass is quite original
and Judging from the crowd last night
wer judge that it is a paying venture.
The tent is arranged with stage seen
cry and curtains the same as an opera
house.
The performance as whole was
meritorious The sayings and gags
were all very good, as we'll as the
choruses, ballads and other singing.
The orchestra was also good. In the
olio the male electrical dance, the
"Black Eighth Regiment the terp-
sichorean artist and "Pastimes OF
the Levee" were amusing and the rip
roaring farce presented as finale was
highly ludicrous and mirth provoking
piece of extrayagance.-Mem

The quarters of the president and

is one-story in height, with cellar

is at the west end of the building. A
small waiting room and large room
for Secretary Cortelyou lie between
the two. So far as space is concern
ed there is little more than was avail

IN the additional space in the cellar
for documents.
The building has not received the
approval of many persons. Congress
appropriated $G5,00O for its construc-

been surrounded by splendid COM
complicated situations in this war Of
wits aad clashing OF different tempera-
ments, which provoke nirth, but at the
same tine there is sub-plot which
leads up to truly dramatic and touch
ing climax of the play and enables the
author to point moral which many
husband and wife would be the hap
pier for taking unto themselves and
chershing in their memories. Mr..
Gilmore won stellar fame in romantic
dramas, as well as in the Frohman
plays, such as The Wife, " THE Char
ity Ball. Men and Women" and
Sweet Lavender" in which he as
sumed at the leading roles with great
credit to himself and pleasure to the
public AS Clement Parbuty author
gentleman and scholar, Mr.. Gilmore
has ample opportunity fer the dis
play of those qualities that made him
admired by men, and the idol of the
matinee girls on Broadway. He is the
possessor of a clear voice, good physl-
que and handsome face, which COM
bined with an artistic temperament
and keen intelligence render him we'll
qualified to assume roles of this kind.

DESIRE A TEST CASE.
Indicted Railroads in Favor OF
Quick Action.

Washington, June 4-There was a con-
ference here today between w. w. Fin
ley, the Second Vice President of the
Southern Railway and representatives, le-
gal and otherwise of the six railroads
indicted last week by the Federal grand
jury n Memphis on the charge
of conducting a pooling arrangement for
controlling the Memphis cotton business.
Representatives of several other roads,
including the Seaboard Air Line, having
an incidental interest in the business of
the indicted railroads, were also in at
tendance.
TIE railroad companies are anxious to
have a prompt and speedy determination
of the issues raised in the indictment, and
IL was for the purpose Of considering sug-
gestions of this character that the con-
ference was held.
Having this object in view, Mr.. Finley
and his az sociates called on the members
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
and discussed the question very fully
with them They urged that arrange
ment be made whereby an early hearing
he had of a test case, instead of await
ing the ordinary court procedure, which
will delay the trial of the questions at
Issue until late next fall This they ar
gued was but justice To the railroads who.
the representatives of the corporations as
serted, were not violating the law.
They made these representations, they
said. to show the good faith of the rail-
roads who were willing TO assist the com
mission i'm every way in their power. The
commission will take the matter under
consideration. The railroad officials con-
cluded their work during the afternoon.
