AGREE ON
LABOR NEED

Commissioner Sargent met with Of
hcials and members of the Builders
and Traders Exchange yesterday and
for an hour there was an interchange
of ideas concerning the proper course
! as 10 the bringing into the
country of laborers. The meeting was
one arranged by L. E. Pinkha m. and
there were gathered in the directors
room of the B. F. Dillingham; Company.
besides the commissioner and Mr.. Pink
ham, Messrs. Bowler, Craig, Mott,
( Clark, Gartley, Bush and others, in
Guiding as well Representative of the
labor unions, so that there might not
even be a suggestion that an attempt
was to. be made to impress the visitor
unduly.
The men present made general
statement of the labor conditions here,
their words in effect setting forth the
same conditions and expressing the
same opinions as were put into form
by the committee of the exchange
when the commission of senators were
in the country last fall. The opinion
expressed was that the planters should
have the right to bring into the coun-.ii
try Chinese labor, for the purpose of
utilizing it in the fields, for a specific
time. Mr. Sargent asked many ques-
lions showing some acquaintance with I
conditions here, but one of the first /
things he asked was that he be not
quoted as to anything he might say
in the conference. Il
After this unanimous expression OF
opinion the members of the exchange
asked that the influence of the COM
mission be used for the purpose of Sc
curing the issuance of an executive Or
der, for the purpose of having put into
effect here on government work, the
same conditions as obtain in connec-
ton with the Territorial contracts. as
regards the employment Of citizen la

The talk became general later in the
afternoon and the time spent was in a
general exchange of views, the men
present agreeing that the meeting had
been a most cordial one, and the ex-
PRESTON of local opinion most unani-

DIARRHOEA is more to be dreaded
than diphtheria. 1t attacks all ages and
is equally fatal to young and old. The
great mortality resulting from diar-
rhoea is due to the lack of proper treat

Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy is reliable and effective
medicine, and if given in time will pre-
vent serious consequences. This rem

The polftical economy of the Bulletin
is much more diverting than its wit.
1t assumes that if thirty thousand dol
lars week should pass into the hands
of Chinese gamblers the entire circu-
Iation of the town would soon be abb
sorbed. Apparently it regards the cir
culating medium as thing that is not
increased even by sugar returns, but
a stationary fund which every draft
diminishes. If this were the case it is
hard to see how the $4,000 or more
per week which is paid to plantation la
borers. much of which is sent to Japan,
should not have bankrupted the coun-
try long ago. However knowledge of
finance and the general conditions of
business is no more to be expected of
the Bulletin, perhaps. than is the abil-
ity to raise a laugh at the expense of
any one but itself.

number of plays from the pen Of this play

sideration masterpiece, both of charac-
ter study and conception than Diplomacy"
His plays were all especially commendable
for their technical perfection and mastery
of stage effect, and in Diplomacy" there
is practically summing up of all these
attributes.
This play is particularly well adapted to
stock company work, no one part standing
out too far at the expence of the rest

In it's plot Diplomacy lays no claim to
great literary distinction, being a simple
story of love and intrigue but in it's treat
ment most ingenious.
In the stock company production Eugene
Ormond is to play Henry Beauclerc, and

HE READ THE MESSAGE
Actors Ability as Telegrapher Saved
His Job.
From the New York Times.


Joseph Francoeur, stage manager for
william Faversham, recalls this incident
in connection with w. E. Sheridan. an
actor of repute in his day. who was said
to be somewhat lacking, however. in de-
cision.
On one occasion Sheridan was playine
a stock engagement in the west and had
as his leading man an actor named Charles
Craig, who played the part of De Nou-
mours in Louis w." and played it rather
badly. Determining to be rid of the actor.
Sheridan started for the telegraph office
one evening. following a particularly dis
tressful performance the part of Craig,
and the latter insisted upon accompanying
him, in order to enjoy the walk Sheridan
smiled grimly. and the two proceeded.
Arriving at the office, Sheridan with
some degree of secrecy, wrote the tele-
gram, passed it to the operator. told him
he need not repeat 1t aloud. but to please
send it Immediately. They were Just
leaving the Office when the telegraph in
strument began to tick. Suddenly Craig
stopped. His face bore first a puzzled ex-
preston, then one of deep concern, and
finally his head sank upon his breast. and
his manner was most diconsolate.
whats the NATTER" inquired Sheridan
Il used to be a telegraph operator" an
swered the actor, land I read that mes
sage"
Good heavens" exclaimed Sheridan
The message read: Engage Joe Grismen
for De Noumurs; Craig rotten"
And Sheridan, becoming sympathetic, i'm
mediately sent another wire. recalling the
order of the first.

A UNIQUE EXPERIAENT.-Wa shington
has developed an enterprise that is truly
unique and one that promises to yield hand
some profits. Noting the great demand for
seats by colered people whenever any Afri-
can entertainers appeared on the bill. Man
ager Schesinger OF the Empire and Mama
ger Brennan of the stock company resolved
to lift the ban which has customarily been
placed on Afro-American patronage. A
huge and highly embelished announcement
hangs before the curtain this week, inform
ing the patrons that colored stock COM
pany has been engaged to present musical
comedies. and that smoking will Ice pro-
hibited. A coiored road show has crowded
the theater during the present week. The
audiences are well behaved, and the show
sidered essential under preceding conditions.
The colored people with all their love OF
music, dancing and mmicry. are very much
restricted in their opportunities to enjoy
the theater. There is question that
they will literally patroniZe a house that
frankly opens its doors to them and as
Sures them the same courtesy and consid-
GRAFTON that play patrons enjoy elsewhere.
Moreover. if the shows are kept up to the
standard of the present week, there will
be every reason to expect considerable de-
mand for those portions OF the house that
are reserved for white auditors. 1t is an
interesting experiment, and one which Will
very probably be followed in other cities:

distinguished piano work Of DR.. Anton

more than two-thirds of the entire seat

has been taken. The bass singer, Mr..
Gwilym Miles. is new to Washington. His
voice is resonant and his manner dra-
matte and he has created a most favorable
impression elsewhere. Mr.. Nicholas Douty
is an old favorite, having sung the tenor
role in the Messiah, Elijah and many other
works for the society, while Nine. Char
lotte Maconda has been heard here with
such success that she was specially engaged
by Mr. Kaspar for this appearance.

Patrons of the Empire Theater next
week will be given their first view of the
only stock company of colored performers
ever organized in this country. The COM

They appeared at the Empire earlier in
the season and made the hit of a good

played the newspapers have been unani-
nous in praise of their work, in MANY
instances declaring them to be better than
Williams and Walker. 1t is the intention
of the management to produce new musi-
cal comedy each week. and 1T will be the
endeavor to introduce special numbers in
each weeks performance. Next week the
principal vocal number will be new song,
