Du Barry,

At the National next week Mrs. Leslie
Carter will offer the thrilling Belasco
drama, 'Du Barry" The present tour of
Mrs. Carter is her farewell to the role of
the "Du Barry" in which her greatest tri-
umphs have been won. and remembering
that Washington was given but four per-
formances of 'Du Barry on its original
production here two years ago Manager
Rapley succeeded in arranging with David
Belasco for limited engagement of Mrs.
Carter at the National next week. Seven
performances only will be given, the six
evenings and the customary Saturday natl
nee. The sale of seats and boxes will begin
al the theater box office this morning, and
judging from the countless inquiries al
ready made for seats the demand will be
great that early application is advisable.
The company surrounding Mrs. Carter is
practically the same as that which gave
her such efficient support here two years
ago. The production will be remem-
bered for the rare beauty of it's scenery,
the splendor of its costume, the substantial
and accurate furnishings, the harmonious
blending of colors. the admirable use of
lighting effects, and the thousand and one
details that go to make up the ensemble
of a BelaScO play.

PHILANTHROPY SERVICE.
Calvary Baptist Society Considers Con-
ditions in Washington.

The Woman's Missionary Society of Cal
vary Baptist Church devoted it's meeting
Tuesday morning to the consideration OF
conditions in Washington and various lines
of philanthropic service which might be
classified under the heading of home mis-
sionary efforts. Mrs. c. G. Gould, presi-
dent of the society, resigned the chair to
Mrs. c. E. Mower. who introduced repre-
sentatives of four local philanthropies. Mr..
Charles F. Weller. general secretary of the
Associated Charities, was the first speaker.
He told the story of several typical street
heggars and applicants at private houses,
asking that the Associated Charities he
requested to look up all such applicants
for help instead of aims being given to
them without knowledge of their home con-
ditions and actual needs. He also told OF
one family who are aided by fifteen differ
ent people representing several churches,
Sunday schools and charitable private
houses The speaker said that it was i'm
possible to improve the character and home
life of this family unless cooperation
among these fifteen different helpers could
be obtained. and he explained the methods
of the Associated Charities for bringing
about such cooperation.
Mr.. Weller asked for volunteers to serve
as friendly visitors each to one or two
f1iendess families, and for volunteers who
will! collect small savings regularly. He
described the playground movement, the
work of improving housing conditions, or
preventing the spread of consumption, OF
organizing summer outings and other lines
of preventive and constructive work which
have developed from the efforts of the AS
sociated Charities. A story of one small
church, located eight miles from the city of
Chicago. told example of tina
fact that for church to enlist it's members
in volunteer service to neglected families
and neighborhoods will mean the growth
OF Christian spirit among the church mem
bers themselves and the strengthening OF
the church in all it's lines of spiritual en-
deavor

Buena Vista Wharf No More.

A force of hands is at work on the wharf
at Buena Vista, the river, on the south
side of the Eastern branch, tearing up and
removing the old structure. This wharf
was built over a quarter of century ago,
when, under the name of Giesboro' Point,
many of the Sunday schools and organiza-
tons of this city gave their excursions
there. Later the name of the park was
changed to Buena Vista and excursions
were run there almost daily throughout the
summer months, until within five or six
years ago, when the resort was closed down
and the steamer Seufferle, which ran there,
was laid up. OF recent years the park has
lain idle and the wharf has slowly fallen
into decay. and now it is being entirely de-
stroyed. The planking and upper timbers
only are to be removed and the piles will be
left standing.
