Looking for Uncle Sam.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Down in the custom house the other day
I overheard a funny conversation between
a stranger ana the assistant postmaster
said man who likes the funny side of
things, land it goes to show that all the
green men are not dead yet. The man walk
ed around in the Federal building for some
time and finally landed at the window of
the assistant postmaster. Is the lady of
the house in?' he asked as he rested his
telescope on the floor. Nope, said the as
sistant postmaster. catching the drift of
the question. Besides he added, good
naturally, this house is run by man

stranger. Nope Where can | see hfm?'

The Chase season was scheduled very
fortunately and closes just as the weather
makes indoor entertainment on a large
scale a very probematic venture.
Miss Cortelyou's nervous breakdown was
probably due to the strain of playing SO
tying a character as Camille as an Incl
dent of a stock enga cement. The hot wave
completed the exhaustion which her eHorts
to attain a perhaps unreasonable stanuaFu
began. Camille is not play to be tossed
- in casually as a minor episode in season
of current productions. Miss Atwell again
surprised the Columbia patrons by her at
tainments by playing Camille for the latter
portion of the week. She was no novice
in the role. having played it elsewhere on
several previous occasions. She was es-
pecially efficient in portraying the lighter
moods of the character

Resolutions Against the Project
Adopted by Preachers-The oppo-

The Choral Society continues to have in
teresting returns from its request for an ex-
preston of opinion in relation to the pro-
priety of giving oratorio on Sunday in the
absence of suitable available auditorium
for week nights
The Washington Preachers Meeting of
the Methodist Episcopal Church having
been asked by member of the Choral So
ciety to express its judgment, adopted by
unanimous vote of twenty-three members
present the following resolutions:
. THE Washington Preachers Meeting of
the Methodist Episcopal Church having had
its attention called to the purpose of the
Choral Union to hold its public concerts on
Sunday evening in some public hall or the
alter. hereby records itself in opposition to
sucn plan, as subversive of the sanctity
of the Sabbath
This proposition is a subtle and dangerous
ADDITION to the influences operating to pre-
vent the idea of the day as one of Christian
worship, and will assuredly prove harmful
TO all which Christians hold dear in con-
nection with the Sabbath Therefore be it
resolved
'Ffrst-That we urge all our members
connected with the union to discontinue the
movement
Second-That we most respectfully but
positively object to the proposed Sunday
concerts and with all earnestness request
the choral Union to abandon a project
which is offensive to a large portior~of the
community.
RESOLVED That the secretary be directed
