Sis Hopkins.

Sis Hopkns' will be at the Jefferson tomorrow night. Perhaps no more extra ordinary example of how the public de- cides on the fate of a play can be shown than in the case of Sis Hopkins"
 The play was originally produced in New York about six years since as a sketch. Miss Melville thought that she had a sketch that would last some time in New York and then would be good for a season or two on the road.
 The success of Sis Hopkins" was in- stantatneous and in that very success seemed the greatest danger to the pro- duction. Dozens of persons boldly appro- priated the sketch and went through the country giving from indifferent to very bad limitations of the part that Rose Mel vile had created There was sterling stuff in Sis and when 1t was elaborated into a play 1t proved even more successful than was anticipated.

Many timid builders and investors fear
the effects ON the lumber trade caused by
the recent disastrous fire in Baltimore.
They anticipate higher prices on lumber
and a seant supply. Then again many
timid men fear a Presidential year. To
all such doubling and hesitating people,
we say, do not worry, do not hesitate.
Each mans own small undertaking Is
only a drop in the bucket compared to
the trend Of events In the great outside
world. The commerce of the people ol
this land goes on. There il such an i'm
petus in this great country that no small
local event or event Of special year can
seriously effect the situation. As to the
men OF Baltimore, their wild haste, when
they begin to rebuild to obtain materials,
viii perhaps make small local advances
in values. But the people of Maryland
and Washington win not be greatly in
iueneed. They will not be misled by pre-
dictions OF the business men of Baltimore
who cannot look outside the walls of that
city. Thoughtful men win know that
there is "A great outside South land eoun-
try from which to draw countless thous.
ands OF feet of lumber for all purposes,
and whereas the local demand may cause
the advance in some leading article, there
il alwaysa substitute to be found. There
