ADJUSTMENTS
East Lake Casino.

The rule holds good in vaudeville that
specialties of uneven excellence are to
be found in all bills especially those Of
fered to summer theatregoers. The bill
for this week at the East Lake Casino
reveals one or two weak spots, but as a
whole is satisfactory. The comedy sketch
of Julia Kingsley and Nelson is In itself
well worth a trip to the lake. They in
troduce humorous burlesque on married
life that is cleverly contrived and ex-
tremely funny. Mr. Lewis Is good
comedian of the whimsical cut-and- dried
sort, while Miss Kingsley imparts the
necessary fire and spirit to the role of a
termagant fe. This little skit was
cordially received last night and was evil
IDENTIFY enjoyed.
The acrobato work of the Carson broln-
ers was excellent. A number of difficult
feats were performed and there was a
refreshing absence of buffoonery in the
act. Some of the exhibitions of strength
given by the Carson brothers were I'M
usual.
The character representations of Mar
garet Severance were pleasing but they
passed over the heads of many who were
present last night. In order to appreciate
m impersonation properly, the character
assumed must be familiar and this was
not the case last night. Miss Severance 8
amusing mimicry of Marie DRESSER was
one of the best things she did, but failed
of its effect because Miss Dressler is un-
known to many theatregoers down south
and has not been seen by them in 'Hig-
gledy Piggledy.'
The monologue of viii Tompkins was
also an enjoyable feature of the bill. Mr..
Tompkins offers a clean, refined mono-
logue and renders his songs with good
voice.

was first established that freight would
not be affected and our dealers relied

the refineries got behind, causing the

scarcity was soon over

While the cities of Nashville and Hunts
willie have been suffering from a sugar
famine for the past two weeks and con-
sumers IN other neighboring cities have
also been affected to a more or less extent
by scarcity of the saccharine product
Birmingham has scarcely felt the effects
of the shortage caused by the New Or

days behind in filling orders on account
the Crescent City.
Local wholesale dealers in sugar say
that while there was some scarcity of the
staple in this city for a few days there
was never time that all the sugar
anybody wanted could not be furnished
and in the time of scarcity the price of
sugar was never raised. l., F. Kleybeck,
manager of the Great Atlantic and Pa

MUCH rs HOPED FOR.
Needs of Naval Hospital Demonstrated
to Secretary Morton.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
PORTSMOUTH Va, May 20.-The re-
cent visit of the Secretary of the Navy to
this station will result in pushing the
splendid new addition to the naval hos
pitaL in this city. This is the idea of DR..
r. c. Persons medical director, COM
handing the hospital here. He has been
ably seconded in his effort to convince
the Washington officials of the great
necessity existing for such an enlarged
institution by the surgeon general Ad-
miral RiXey The Secretary, on the occa-
sion of his visit here this week, inquired
nlnutely into the details of the plan. 1t
was pointed out to Mr.. Morton that the
tremendous growth of the navy in the
seven years since the Spanish-American
war has rendered it absolutely necessary
that the facilities for treating the sick
in time of peace. to say nothing of the
care of the wounded in the event of war.
should, on such an important station as
this, be vastly increased to keep pace
navy.
Secretary Morton's attention was also
called during his stay here by the officers
of the construction department to the ne
cessity for paving launching ways and
overhead cranes installed here at the
earliest possible moment if 1t is intended
ever to use the other facilities of the
yard for construction work. 1t Is believed
that this improvement and others Will re-
suit from the official inspection by the
head of the navy.
