"York state Folks"


'tYork State Folks Arthur Sdman's post
luminous, drama, first presented in this city
at the Metropolitan theater last week, re-
turned to the same playhouse for brief
supplementary engagement last evening and
was enthusiastically received by a large au-
Ssdienee. Z 49,
S..!. York state Folks is pastoral play
poem; a. drama which in some respects, is
thes4best its kind, ard which certainly is
entitled to rank with the best work of James
A.sHerne Its characters are typical of the
community in which the scenes are laid.
What lis more since human nature is pretty
much the same the world over, it follows that
many Of us have seen Just such people off
the stage. Simon Peter Martin, the head
strong old man, intolerant Of opposition even
when made to realize that he ism the wrong,
is. no stranger; and, fortunately, men like
Myron Cooper are occasionally born into this
world, to make it's waste places blossom like
the rose:&> .
However, as an extended review OF both
play and players was printed In this column
last week, further comment is quite unneces-
sary at this time Suffice it to say that
York State Folks is Wholesome without be-
ing poky, and interesting without being SEN
sational; while the producing cast is thor
oughly competent. Minneapolis seldom gets
an opportunity to see better stage work of
It's kind than the Simon Peter Martin of James
Lackaye, or the Myron Cooper Of Ray L..

To the Editor of The Evening Star:

The nurse mentioned said that she learned
the secret from Well-known physician
while nursing one Of his patients.
The remedy for muddy water Is nothing
more nor less than alum-plain powdered
alum.
By putting a scant half teaspoonful in
two-gallon pitcher of water at night and
allowing 1t to stand until noon the follow
ing day. it will be discovered that the alum
has precipitated the mud to the bottom of
the pitcher.
The water will be clear and sparkling and
entirely free from the taste Of the alum
used to effect the result.
The water when cleared need not be
poured from the pitcher or vessel in which
1t was prepared as the mud will remain at
the bottom and the act Of pouring out in
glasses will not stir up the mud and cloud
the water again.
From the amount Of mud that collects in
the bottom Of a vessel Of water that has
been subjected to alum people can realize
what they have been drinking for some
time.
Any amount Of water can be prepared in
this way by preserving the proportion Of a
half a teaspoonful of powdered alum to two
gallons Of water.
This process has been tried by a we'll
known family, and although 1t seems too
good to be true 1t is sure cure for muddy
water. and when tried will afford relief.

SPRING STYLES FOR MEN
A Leading Warrington Taller Who Makes Up
for Himself Every Style Of Suit Shown
On the Fsshien Plates.

For the past few seasons 1t has been customary
with the swell tailors Of London and New York
to make up q line Of sample garments for them
selves as the fashions for . season become
settled, thus giving their customers practical OBJ
ject lessons Of what In to be proper and stylish
for the season. The first tailor In Washington to
adopt this plan Il Mr.. ]. Fred Gatchel. who for
many years has been one OF the leading authort-

Gatchel has made up for himself q dozen or %

collection includes a riding suit. Norfolk Jacket

makers for Spring. In connection with this e1-
bibit Mr.. Gstchel Is also showing a number Of
very handsome topcoats and q very swell Tuxedo
suit made from the new H. R. II. cloth, fabric
especially adapted to summer wear, and one which
only needs to be seen to be appreciated by the
dressy man.
One unmistakably feature Of these sample
suits which Mr.. Gatchel has made up, and which
will be noticeable in every fashionably correct
garment Of the incoming season. is the general
lightness of effect. made conspicuous by a de-
creased width and height OF shoulders and by a
