Lack OF Work Produces Much
Suffering Among The I'M

Town.

Many new schemes are being brought
10 work by the grown colored persons
of the city who think that doing any
manual labor themselves is beneath
their dignity. Many residents claim
that at no time in their knowledge
have there been so many able bodied
beggars as there are at present.
One resident of the city found that
through the eatables carried out of
the kitchen by an employe family OF
seven was kept plentifully supplied
with food. The latest scheme develop
ed Yesterday, however A colored
woman went to q well known bakery
in town and asked for two loaves of
bread, stating that they were for a
certain lady of the city, who would
pay for them The proprietor, how
ever, was somewhat skeptical and call
cd up the lady mentioned by tele-
phone. She replied that the woman
was not in her employ and had not
been sent after any bread
When these facts were made known
to the schemer she lost no time in
getting out of the bakery. Other
schemers along the same line have been
hard at work for several weeks and
many cases have been reported in
which they were successful. Work
has been very scarce this winter and
the weather particularly severe, which
worked great hardship on the i'm
provident II is expected that as soon
as the weather permits the work at
the Naval Academy will be at once
resumed, which will aid quite little

The new musical comedy, 1.-THE Jewel
of Asia, By Frederic Ranken and Lud-
wig Highlander, that comes TO the Col
onial Theatre on Monday, March 9th,
has every requisite to command favor
with the public. The fun is legitimate,
infectious, and unusually laugh provoca-
tive. Paris, and Turkey in Asia are
the localities represented in this musical
comedy which is in two acts. In the
first pasha is in France with his twelve
wives, and one of them, called IN fancy,
The Jewel of Asia elopes with her lover
Ii happens that a young French artist
who combines his profession with wait
ing in a cafe has painted a picture, also
called The Jewel of Asia and when
this turns up missing the complications
begin. The girl and the picture are
hunted by the wrong persons and the
situations are amusing. An added dl-
lemma is caused when the artist sttires
himself in Turkish suit which has been
left in his studio. Ii is the insignia OF
title worn by missing prince, aud the
artist, Pierre, is hustled of 10 Turkey.
where hundred wives await him. All
the other characters get there, too, and
finally, after many side-splitting situa-
tions, much humorous dialogue, etc, the
tangles are Strengthened out In pleasing
style. Foremost in the fun-making and
artistic development of the opera is Miss
Vera Michelena, whose popularity is as
great as that of many another prima
donna who has enjoyed stellar honors
for much longer period than she has.
Her most able aide is Edgar Bixley, prob
ably the best comic stage-Frenchman in
the country. Another well-known per-
former in THE Jewel of Asia" is Harry
Short, clever comedian who created
the part of the Sergeant in the original
production at Days Theatre, New York.
The company numbers over fifty people,
and includes q large chorus of pretty
girls, which is noted for its ability to
sing and dance.
