OF the Giffen company's success in The
French Maid" which served last night
to open the second week Of musical com

The French Maid is no. new. by
any means. but the manner I'm which
the piece was given was sufficient in it

tunes and clean scenery gave the audi
ence hope. which was later verified in
the fine work OF nearly every member of
the company. \ numerically large and
well drilled chorus gave a solid back
ground to the score. and seldom have so

Miss Deyo. the petite clever leading

unmistakable success with Washington
theatergoers. The favor in which Miss
Deyo is held is not so remarkable when
her charming personality. twinkling fee,
and acting abilities are considered. She
is d dainty bit of femininity, refined in
her work. and wholly pleasing TO the
eye. Her Sammy song proved a dis

ON EIGHTY CLERKS
Census Office Employees to
Be Transferred.
GOING TO NEW DEPARTMENT
Conference Between Director North and
Secretary Cortelyou Brought About
Desirable Arrangement.

There. is Joy in the Census Bureau
these days and it is no unusual thing
to sec clerk stop work for moment
TO shake hands with himself or herself
The cause Of this is that the eighty clerks
who were scheduled to be dismissed on
July l arc 70 be retained IN the Gov
eTnment service and are practically as
sured lifetime positions.
The condition Of the approximation for
the permanent bureau was such its heads
decided that to keep within the lpp-o-
priatior it would be necessary on the
first CT next month to drop about eighty
OF the present employees. Those marked
20 so were clerks whose salaries wore
under $1,000 As no one knew where
the Ak was 20 fall the majority OF the
clerks were greatly worried.
Solving the Problem.
When Dr. s. y. d. North went into
Office as Director Of the Census ono Of
the first matters to which he gave his
attention was the dismissal Of these
clerks. Re desired to see them retain
their positions and sought aid and COM
fort from Secretary CorteIyou Of TIE
Department OF Commerce and Labor.
After many conferences between Or
North end Secretary Cortelyou an ar
rangement was made whereby the Jerks
who were doomed to dismissal are to
be drafted into the service of the new
department.
Arrangement Declared Legal.
Assistant Attorney General Frank l..
Campbell for the Interior Department
was consulted and gave the opinion shat
the arrangement between DR.. North and
Secretary Cortelyou was legal and the
scheme will be put into effect as rapidly
as possible.
Some of the special agents of the
Census Bureau who travel around the
country are TO be dismissed to save eX-
penses and because large part of their
work has been completed. but the list OF
agents who are to go has not been pre-
pared.

Sweet Cider.

The dapper waiter fingers
What shall l drink tonight?
l turn, with listless fingers,
The wine list to the light;
And while l scan it, thinking
That wine has lost its charm,
l dream once more of drinking
Sweet cider at the farm.
From granddad's ancient settle,
Before the cracking blaze,
l watch the singing kettle
a merry tune it plays
There, when the corn was swapping,
And apples sized and steamed,
With granddad slyly mapping.
My sweetest dreams were dreamed.
The winter wind, snow laden,
Coaxed up the roaring flames,
And there rosy maiden
Sat by and played me games:
There Love, who heard the clinking
OF glasses, came and saw
TWO happy lovers drinking
Sweet cider through a straw.
Snug sheltered from the weather,
AT Boreas we laughed,
And quenched our thirst together
In that cool amber draught.
That drink of granddad's making,
Pressed in the mill hard by,
Set no light head to aching.
Turned no bright speech aWry.
Stilled are the clinking glasses,
Long vanished is your smile,
Oh. roSsiest of lasses;
But still l dream, and while
My gray mustache I'm dipping
In wine without flaw
I see your red lips slipping
Sweet cider through a straw.
