The New Photograph Studio.


The large double show windows of the
Harris Ewing Photograph Galleries, at 1911
+ street northwest, have been attracting
considerable attention since the opening OF
the establishment Friday last, and those
persons who have awaited themselves of the
opportunity of paying visit TO the lnte-
riOr have been surprised and delighted by
the grOund-flOOr arrangement of the recep-
ton rooms and the easy ascent by one
short flight of steps to the luxurious dress
ing rooms and studio. The equipment
throughout is of the most modern char
different from similar establishments have
been entirely successful
The dressing rooms for ladies are espe
cially attractive one being furnished in
beautiful soft lavender. and another to con-
form to the artistic arrangement of a Jap
anese room. A feature of the galleries is
the convenient relative arrangement of the
rooms making it pleasure to enter and
pass through the establishment, whether
on business or a tour of inspection
An introduction to the firm is not neces-
sary, and the best word that can be said
for the character of the Photographic work
executed is reference to the finished prod
ucts displayed in the windows on f street
and the reception room on the first floor
The lighting of the studio is particularly
good and the best of instruments have
been secured to secure the best results.
The association of this firm with the
leading Photographic studios of New York,
Boston and California insures the artistic
merit of the work The display of frames
is also ample proof that the artistic sense
is present. IL

Pollution of the Potomac.

Commissioner West is engaged in drafting
a bill, which he proposes the Commissioners
shall present to Congress, prohibiting the
pollution of the waters of the Potomac
river. The bill will be drafted upon lines
suggested by Mr.. Marshall o. Leighton OF
the geological survey, and will be In the
nature OF a federal statute governing the
waters of the Potomac.
Mr. West has recommended to the Com
missioners that the report of Mr.. Leighton
relative to the pollution of the stream be
forwarded to Congress with the request
that it be printed public document. In
discussing the proposed law Mr.. West said
II am in favor of stringent law that
will prohibit any individual, association OF
individuals. or corporations or any of their
agents to deposit, place or put, or cause to
be deposited, placed or put. any sewage or
industrial waste, or putrescent or poisonous
material in the Potomac river or any OF
it's tributaries, or in any place where pollu-
ton of the river shall be caused to the
District water supply. l think it is the
duty of Congress to see that the purity OF
the public water supply of the District and
it's value to any use to which it may be put
shall be kept unmpaired in this capital of
the country The welfare of a city largely
depends upon the purity of it's water supply,
and now is the time to take the precau-
tons

Lafayette Theater.

The hilarious mirth usually aroused by the
performances of Johnny and Emma Ray
was very much in evidence at the Lafayette
capable supporting company made merry in
their new piece, Down the Pike" The
piece is farce, drawn rather broad
lines, with a number of musical selections
thrown in in such manner to add diver
sion and interest. There is not a dull mo-
ment during the action of the piece, and the
large audience was kept in an uproar of
laughter during the greater part of the
evening. Johnny Ray plays the role of Nc
Corkle, the janitor of large office build
ing, in his familiar and amusing Hibernian
makeup, and his broad smiles illuminate
the stage. Where Johnny Ray is there is
much laughter also, and almost every mo-
ment he on the stage he was success
full in stirring the risibilities of the audi
ence by his peculiar humorous methods.
Harry First in the role of Hebrew; Nick
German detective aid and abet Mr. Ray in
the mirth production and handle their parts
capably. Sophie Burnham won much favor
and numerous encoreS by her singing. Her
voice Is clear and has an agreeable quality
and she handled 1t effectively. Emma Ray
plays the role of the jealous wife, and in ad-
dition to her impersonation of the irate
spouse made a hit in the old song Back
Back to Baltimore. The female portion of
the chorus, which is large, is attractive, and
the male chorus sings tremendously. The
costumes are bright and attractive, and the
scene in the second act showing the Cas-
cade building at the St. Louis fair aroused
