Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

One act alone of this weeks bill at the Jacques is worth more than the cost of the entire show, and that act Is the leading one offered by Will Fl. Murphy, Blanche Nichols and com pany under the title From Zaza to Uncle Tom" Nothing more foolishly funny has been seen here than this Imaginable rehearsal scene of Uncle Tom," and there isn't minute of the piece that it isn't punctuated with laughter from the amazed audiences. Such an act worked up into full play would discount most of the farce comedies that are winning laughter and lucre in the high class houses. Comedy in punches is supplied in the other acts, particularly amusing being George W. Days monologue, Eek hoff and Gordon's musical act and MT and Mrs Jimmie Barry's skit ssMrs Will kins's Boy" The rest of the show is contributed by Rome and Ferguson, Dawson and White, Manley and Sin mott and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

as a god, a most wonderful Holiness. But alas for pomp and pride, the Dalai Lama was first brought to book by the aggressive. demanding English; and then the Chinese emperor, over-lord of ing the priest-king, deposed the Dalai Lama and substituted in his place the Teshu Lama.
 What effect this summary dealing with sacred things will have upon the Thibetans remains to be seen. 1t is whispered among Mongolian merchants in that corner of eastern Russia where white man and yellow man come to- gether in the market place that the Dalai Lama is not in hiding. but is dead: has been put to death by some lama monks. To support this theory is the fact that for some time previous to Col. Younghusband's victory over the Dalai, the latter was harassed by the attitude of not a few of his subordinates; he had to indulge in wholesale deposings of his ministers, and was kept busy try ing to put down murmurings In the great monasteries, or lamaseries.
 State and church are most closely al- lied in Thibet, lamaism combining a corruption of the Buddhist religion with the control of the government, Thibet being hierarchy under two ecclesias- tical-political soyereigns called lamas. A French writer. M. L. de Milloue, says that since the beginning of the ninth century the history of Thibet has been merely the history of the clergy, who have almost absolute power over the people. Tn the matter of things relig- ious, lamaism is characterized by elab- crate ceremonials of worship, and the devotees have host of deities and saints to whom to pay reverence. Chief pontiff is the Dalai Lama, a race of priest-kings that has ruled over Thi- betan affairs 700 years. The Dalai Lama is supposed to have an immortal soul, successively transmigrated from one body to another. The lately deposed Dalai Lama traced his line back to a very mythical beginning, appeared to his people the incarnation of BuddhA
 The question now is, not where the Lama's soul has flown. but what has be-

HENRIETTA CRosMAN.

Another rarely delightful treat is promised for Monday evening at Polls when Henrietta Crosman will appear in David Belasco's great play "Sweet Kitty Bellairs." Miss Cros- man has been playing this piece for two seasons with extraordinary suc- cess. We will get the same splendid production that aroused so much en- ,thusiasm during it's run at the Be lasco theater in New York. Of all pro ductions sent from New York no play yet has delighted the theater-going public has Sweet Kitty Bellairs." It's charming comedy, beautiful seen ic production, its clever character drawing picturing the life in Bath during the reign of fashion in the military, it's wondrous lighting ef- fects, it's cumulative interest and it's completeness of detail have been the subject for columns from the greatest critics in this country. It is MT Be lasco's desire that the critics in the lesser cities shall have opportunity to express their candid opinion of what has been considered his greatest work.

ROBERT B. MANTELL.

A thoroughly good performance is assured for tomorrow evening at Polls when Robert B. Mantell ap- pears in his new romantic success s"The Light of Other Days" Some interest may be attached, therefore, to what has been said of the play and player by the New York Daily News, which voiced this judgment: 'There have been few of the matinee idols of New York from the days of Harry Montague down to the present time who have had greater vogue than Robert B. Mantell had. His pre- sentation, therefore, of The Light of Other days at the Fourteenth street theater last night, was an event of no small interest. The clientele of the house has changed since he played there with Fanny Davenport and di- vided honors with her, but there were many of his old friends there, and 1t may be fairly said he made new ones by his acting. Prices are 25, 35, 30, 75 cents and $1.

THE SCHOOL TEACHER AT ANNAPOLIS.

The political party which won at
the last election in this State of
Maryland, did not promise anything
very definite about raising the pay
of the public school teachers, but a
hundred and one teachers in this
county will scan the proceedings from
the State house for the next 80 DAYS
hoping that some measure will be en-
acted whereby they shall receive a
material benefit 1t is reported that
one of the members of the House of
Delegates who has made pedagogics
business, will make it his special occu-
patton at Annapolis to put through
bill giving the teachers more pay.
For the sake of the teachers we hope
the pedagogue- delegates may be sue
cessful, but he is apt to meet queer
obstacles in the in the hurry burIy of
Legislation. He will not be allie to
keep in" the unruly members, nor
stand the bad ones in corner, or do
anything to them SO they can not
vote. There are those who think the
teachers are receiving all they are
worth. This is likely true in some
cases, and such an objection might
prove embarrassing to the pedagogue-
delegate.
Why should not the school teachers
of Garrett county send a com
mittee to influence legislation in the
interests of the public schools, and
particularly for more pay for the
school TEACHER? With one of their
own professions on the floor, of the
House of Delegates, having the en-
tree, perchance, ofthe executive Office
the county school teachers have the
opportunity of their lives. State
Superintendent Stephens promised
them more pay and they should go
down to Annapolis and kick at the
State House doors until the right bill
is passed.

THE GOVERNOR.

Former Gov. Lloyd Lowndes,
when in Baltimore recently, said :
1.-The Governor of Maryland i'm
AGNES he is a very big man, and in
some respects he is, except at An
napolis when the General Assem-
bly, is in session. Then he is brought
to realizing sense of his own lit
tleness and impotence. He can do
nothing he may wish except with
the assistance of others. He is
obliged to consult all sorts of peo-
pie as to what should be done. He
cannotmake an appointment unless
he has the consent of a majority of
the Senators. If he wants an APP
preparation to carry on what may
be vital to the interests of the state,
he is obliged to have the assistance
of majority of both houses. In
fact, he can be certain of nothing
unless he is assured beforehand
that he will have the approval of
the two houses. No matter if he
has examined the question on all
sides and in all its bearings and is
sure of his ground, he is powerless
without the aid of the General AS
sembly. If he thinks certain
sum of money is absolutely neces-
sary in order to complete a public
work, he must ask for at least twice
the amount needed, in order to get
it, for the Legislature almost inva-
riably cuts all recommendations in
half, and grants Just half of what
is asked.
The Governor has great power
and great influence, but when the
General Assembly is in session he
is only second fiddle in the orches-
ira. If he is out of harmony with
the others he has trouble, and it is
trouble in the real sense of the
word, and there is no mistaking
it. - Baltimore Herald.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The distribution Of the state
school fund as determined by a re-
cent decision OF the court ofappeals
in proceedings instituted by Mr..
Robert Shriver and others of Allie
ghany county, the court affirm
ing the opinion that the fund to
the white schools should he dis
tributed according to the white
population is arousing a storm in
Anne Arundel and other counties
in Southern Maryland where dwell
large colored population, and in
response to this protest, a bill is
to be introduced in the legislature
which convenes today, looking to
correction of the alleged inequali-
ties of distribution.
While Allegany and Garrett
counties have profted largely by
the courts decision, the law as at
present administered works disad-
vantageously to the counties hav.
ing large colored populations SO
disadvantageously in fact that the
colored schools could only be kept
open for period of two months in
the year, in Anne Arundel coun-
ty. A further example of the work
ing of this law may be cited in the
case of Garrett county which re-
ceives S6Ie,66 each quarter to be
expended in a colored population
of 50; Allegany, 81, 500. II for some
three hundred colored children;
while Anne Arundel, with 1000
colored children to be educated is
allowed but SI,1e7.3e each quar-
ter for this educational work.
