Brilliant House Party
 At Winston Place.

Major and Mrs. Frank Marlborough An derson and Miss Anderson will entertain a large party of guests this week at Winston Place, their country house at Valley Head. Several of the guests for the house party left town yesterday and on Wednesday quite large party will leave in private car and will remain at Winston Place until Sunday.
 The informal gaiety and genuine hospi- tality which characterizes entertaining at Winston Place have made it one of the famous country houses in the state, and the house parties there are naturally charming in every way. Now that Major and Mrs. Anderson have a debutante daughter the house parties are even more interesting. Miss Anderson is a very charming and beautiful girl, tall and very queenly looking.
 Winston Place is a beautiful old house, typically colonial, and large enough to en- certain at least fifty guests. The verandas are broad enough for dancing and every evening there will be informal dances The plans for the week will give the guests every opportunity for enjoylng the country and there will be daily expedi- tions to the mountains luncheons on the beautiful cliffs and in the evening tea will be served on the terrace.
 Mrs Anderson has entirely recovered from her illness and she ana Miss Ander- son and other members of the family have been at Winston Place since tho horse show. Major Anderson spent | part of the summer al French LicN Springs.

 The west is represented in the list of American cartoonists by MT. John Tin ney McCutcheon, who is on the staff of the Chicago Record-Herald and whose cartoons equal in poignancy and politi- cal significance those of Tenniel or Sam bourne.
 Mir McCutcheon is a native of Indiana, and is a little over thirty years old. He has been with the Chicago Record-Her- aid since 1889. His cartoons first attract ed attention by their humor, which is not complicated like that of Sambourne and more on the order of the satire of Du Maurier. The political strength of Mir MeCutcheon's cartoon was demon. strated eonclusively in the campaign of 1900. Mir McCutcheon has had every op- portunity to do effective work. He has been around the world as special corres- pondent, and when he was sent to the Transvaal, he joined the Boers in the interest of his paper. He Is both an H. lustrator and a caricaturist, and Is the author of Stories of Filipino Warfare"

The text of his political car toons is full of brilliant human, and re- veal a versatility that goes hand in hand with his skill as a draughtsman.
 MT. Blackman knows the difference be- tween satire and humor, and his work on The Birmingham Age-Herald has won him a distinctive place among American caricaturists.

Society as We'll as PoIItlcs Furnishes inspiration to the cartoonlst-Mr. cibson's New Version of
 "Weaker Sex"
BY ANNIE kENDRlcK WALKER.

\MHAT if the newspapers should w take particular pleasure in an nounclng series of drawings during the summer months by any of the well known cartoonists depicting mod ern society?' For instance instead of picturing the postal scandals and polit- ical frauds, suppose the oartoonist se- lected a theme which would furnish the title of the new series to be called "A Few Society Scandals" Suppose the modern Louis Fourteenths and Du Bar rvs were to be cartooned? Nothing so startling is ever likely to occur, for thank goodnessl this Is not the seven teenth century when caricature reached unbridled license
 The foibles and vanities of society, not its vices are depicted and it is in poll tics, rather than society that the car- toonist seems more at home Of all the cartoonists Mir. Gibson alone is holding up the mirror to society. His recent cartoons in Golfers Weekly depict a cer- tain phase of life so vividly that the tendency of modern life is seen at glance But not all of his pictures are so serious.
 MT. Gibson is the greatest of flatterers, but he does not distribute his fiattery evenly. His version of the "Weaker Sex" contrary to expectations, depicts the heart troubles of a susceptible bach elor-"the precise degree of his suscep- tibility" showing that Mir. Gibson's art is never more at home than in flattering the American woman All this, how
 
 in discussion of the very serious work of some of the American cartoonists on the staffs of the great dailies.
 The cartoonist has found himself a factor in the most significant political and social movements of the day. He occupies an unique place, and as long as there are party divisions the potency of the cartoonist will be felt and he will be more or less a national figure.
 A comparison of the early environment and education of the men who nave wen honorable rank in the school of Ameri- can carcature shows that early infiu- ences shaped their careers to a great extent. Their studentship of human events has largely come through con stant touch with public affairs until as class they are standing for what is most significant and permanent in cur rent political history.
 The approval of Governor Pennypacxer of the anti-cartoon bill recently passed by the Pennsylvania legislature affords conclusive proof of the potency of the cartoon. It is the hope If the enactors of this bill to see 1t extended until it covers the entire country Senator Platt endeavored to pass a similar bill in New York and peremptory dictates of the Pennsylvania legislature were considered significant in that they effected the llb- erty of the press

 MT. Frederick Burr Copper of the staff of the New York American is a carlca- turist and an illustrator. He Is also a satirist and humorist. There are few caricaturists who excel him in satire and he Is one of the favorite carieatursss of the day. The friends that he made twenty years ago by his first work with Puck have long realized that his place in the world of caricature is very se- cure.
 Mir. Opper is at home in both his polti- cal pictures and the humorous situations he reveals in his illustrations. There IS no American caricaturist who has the same power of making the distinguished men of the day realize that there Is but one step from the sublime to the ridicu- lous.

 Birmingham Lady's
 Transformation.

A well-known Birmingham lady
 while down town the other day was
 greatly chagrinned when several ac-
 quaintances whom she passed on
 Nineteenth street failed to return her
 pleasant smile and familiar saluta-
 tion, She tried in vain to imagine
 what she had said or done to cause
 this coolness on the part of her erst-
 while friends, and her heart was trou-
 bled. In this frame of mind she
 sought counsel of a neighbor in whom she was wont to confide, and her
 perplexity increased when the neigh bor looked at her long and wondering ly before exclaiming:
 Why ---; what in the world have you done to yourself?"
 Then the truth slowly dawned up- on her, and the cloud lifted. She was reconciled.
 She had failed to remember that her friends had not looked upon her altered face as often as she had dur ing the ten days that had elapsed since the transformation first begun, and were not prepared for the change that had been wrought The lady in question had been all her life afflict- ed, as so many otherwise handsome women are. with several large un- slightly moles on the cheek and lip, By some mysterious process they had all disappeared, and she stood before her neighbor with the soft fresh bloom of clean and healthy skin. Then, came the explanation. She had been to see Madame Post. the well-known complexion specialist, who has treated several hundred la- dies during her brief sojourn in Bir- mingham. all of whom have been so much improved as to cause them to make this kind fairy the subject of favorable comment in the little chats at the soda fountains.
 Madame Post is an enthusiast in her profession, and with an innate and unconquerable love for the beaut- iful, can not imagine why any woman should be satisfied to become old and wrinkled and ugly when only a little intelligent understanding of how to care for the skin will keep it fresh and soft at fifty. With a practical experience of fifteen years, she has mastered all the secrets known to the science of dermatology and is en- dorsed by the highest authorities in this line. There is no excuse for a woman having moles, freckles or other biemishes to be longer annoyed with them while this safe and certain remedy is at hand Her parlors are open daily from to 1 and to ,. Consultations are free Her address is 191sk Second avenue over Cox's Shoe store.

pencil that his thoughts have not found expression through his Npctures. His book learning came through the usual channels; but his studentship of public men and affairs has been through per- sonel touch and contact with the lead ing lights of Americas eminent states men of the present day. They are his friends as we'll as his object lessons.
 MT. Berrymans conception of the car toon perhaps differs materially from that of other members of the profession
 He uses refined and forceful wit in pre- ference to cold and bitter sarcasm. He has never drawn a picture in his life that was not as much enjoyed by the subject of it as by the public. Cartoon ing and caricaturing have two different meanings in the Berryman mind Mr.
 Berrymans cartoons, and the camera is not more faithful in its reproduction of face and feature than he Is with his pencil. His grasp of current affairs is so comprehensive and thorough that his

Dismissed by Request.

Attorney Burton T. Doyle appeared in
Judge SCOTS court this morning and asked
to have the motion made by him some days
ago fer new trial in the case Of Arthur
8. Colyar, now serving a sentence on the
farm for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, set aside and the judgment re-
instated. In explanation of his course Mr..
Doyle stated that his former motion was
based upon the assurance that Mr.. Colyar
had been adjudged lunatic at Manchester,
Tenn, and confined in the state asylum
until he escaped therefrom during a fire,
and that he had been subsequently adj
judged lunauc by the courts of Florida
and confined in the asylum Of that state
until released, but not restored. That at
the instance Of certain prominent Tennes-
seeans WHO had been assured by Colonel
Colyar that certified copies of these two
judgments Of lunacy would be procured and
forwarded for use at such new trial the
motion for new trial was made; but
that, upon his learning that his erring son
had been guilty of similar misconduct in
various places Colonel Colyar had decided
not to interfere, and asked his friends here
to step aside and let the law take its
course. Acting upon this manifestation
of the fathers wishes in the matter, his
friends had the motion for new trial
dismissed.
1t Is said that this erring young man
comes of an old and distinguished family
In Tennessee. and that his father, Col.
A. 8. Colyar of Nashville. has been and Is
one of the most distinguished lawyers and
honorable citizens Of the state.

STORING EXPLOSIVES.
Thought Fire Marshal Should Have
Control of Permits.

Major Sylvester, superintendent of police,
has recommended to the Commissioners an
amendment to the police regulations trans
ferring from the police department to the
fire marshal the authority for approving
applications for the storage of explosives.
Fire Marshal Sidney Bieber has been giving
particular attention to the subject of ex-
plosives in his inspections lately. In many
cases he found that small quantities of ex-
plosives are held for sale in stores and that
no permits had been obtained therefor. The
result of his activity in this respect has
been q flood of applications through the po-
lice department to the Commissioners
Major Sylvester's recommendation is that
section Of article TX of the police regula-
tons be amended to read as follows:
Hereafter all applications for the storage
or manufacture of gun powder and other
explosives shall be made in writing to the
fire marshal Of the District Of Columbia.
who may, by approval Of the honorable. the
Commissioners OF the District OF Columbia,
issue permits therefor; provided. that In
so doing 1t shall be after due inspection
against IRE and accident. and in cases
where dynamite or other high explosives
are stored or manufactured investigation
shall be made in conjunction with a quail
fed inspector from the engineer depart
ment."
Permits for the use of explosives win be
handled through the police department as
formerly.
