Mrs.. Berry in Vaudeville.

Another popular singer contemplates
leaving Washington for the more al
Turing and lucrative field of vaudeville.
This time it is Kittie Thompson Berry.
one Of the best known and best liked
singers at the Capital Mrs. Berry has
not completed her plans. as yet, but ex-
poets TO leave Washington within the
next few weeks to begin her tour.
The announcement that Mrs. Berry
will take up a professional career viii
be received with interest in her home
city. where she has long been proml-
nently identified with musical AFFAIRS
That she will succeed. everyone an tici-
pates for she has many of the qualities
that tend to launch a singer into promi-

reputable instructors in Washington and
New York has fitted her for a place
among professional singers Gifted with
a charming personality. beauty. a voice
of superior qualities, and the magnet
ism so necessary for sympathy between
singer and audience. Mrs. Berry will
start out equipped with what would
seem every necessity for success in the
vaudeville field 1t is the purpose of
her managers TO present her in a seri IS

pealine alike to the demands of artistic
and popular taste.
There is. perhaps. no singer in Wash
Ington better known than Ktttie ThOmp-
son Berry. She has sung in almost
every prominent choir in the city. and
proved a valuable acquisition TO them
all. Her name on a concert program
has been sufficient to insure an enter
tanning evening, and her services have
always been in great demand Were
statistics to be taken. II is safe to as
sumo that Mrs. Berry has a greater
number of local concert appearances TO
her credit than any other soprano in

charm OF her voice and personality con-
tinues to make her factor at such en-
tertainlnents augurs we'll for her in her

however. will not be Mrs Berry's first
appearance on the professional stage. as
she had a short experience several years

Comedy in Four Acts
and More Still
Coming
And All Because the LegiS-
latuTe Gave a Bounty of
Is Cents Each
for ScaIpS
iChlcnro TrihnneN

A comedy In four acts with a fifth
10 come In which the hedge hog Is the
leading motive. recently has been en-
acted in Maine. Il signally illustrates
Yanke ealertness and resources in an
emergency AT the last session Of the
Legislature a bill was passed giving a
bounty of 20 cents n head upon all
hedgehogs killed within the several
towns. AS soon as the governor
signed the bill II stimulated the In
dustry Of hedgehog destruction to
such an extent that In one town or
ders we're honored for the Staying OF
21O OF the animals. This was on April
"a. Then someone discovered that
the law was not operative until May
1. so that the bounty on the 2l0 was
so much money thrown away. and the
second act began. The town clerk
asked the parties 10 refund the money
but they refused. and this led up TO
the third act. The astute town clerk
hunted up musty law which imposca
a fine OF So for killing hedgehogs be
tween October 1 and June /. and. as
this law Is operative until the new
law goes into effect. he complained OF
the men who had killed the 2i0 hedge
hogs and local justice fined them 81
and costs for every onense. The
hunters did not relish this tranaction.
For each 20 cents bounty they bad
received they had TO pay fine OF 50
and 81 costs, so that for each hedge
hog whose forepaws and nose had
been brought In they were SS.75 out
OF pocket.
This is not the local idea OF a bar
gain. even In hedgehogs. Furious ov'
er the loss OF their money, the hunt
ors began looking the laws over and
found one which provides that any
man who had any part OF a dead
hedgehog in his possession between
October and June 1 was liable TO a
fine OF So and costs. There could be
no doubt the town clerk was liable
under this law, as the noses and fore
paws we're In his possession, 30 the
clerk was hailed before the same jus
tice and found guilty. The court fined
him si.050 and added s62 as costs
The fifth act In the hedgehog comedy
viii come on In the higher courts, C
which the clerk has made appeal
As a business venture the situation
now stands as follows: The tow
paid $3.50 for the hedgehogs, and tn
hunters paid the town In fines an'
costs 81 500. 80 that II is fl,SiS.b'
ahead. The clerk Is out OF pocke
thus far SLIP. and perhaps more be
fore he gets through. The 2lO hedge
hogs which have caused all the fusl
have lost everything. So clerk, town
people and hedgehogs have all got In
| 10 trouble for lack Of n little loga
carefulness. Indeed, In that parucu
lar town where the 20 bowed befor'
the majesty OF the law, troubles jus
now are as thick and sharp as "quilli
upon the fretful porcupine."
