MRS. LoNowoRTH's POSITION.

Washington Post, in discussing MIS-
Longworths addition to the congress
slonal set" brings out what appears to
be an unusual point of social etiquette.
Says the Post:
Now that Miss Roosevelt has become
Mrs. Longworth and settled down to the
duties of matron, the excitement attend
ing her movements seems to have sub
sided, at least so far as the public Is
concerned.
yet certain conditions attach to the
change appear to affect resident society
to its discomfort, in view of the uncer-
tainty as to what attitude to assume IN
the matter of calling upon the bride.
This is especially true of her near neigh
bors, that most exclusive and aristocratic
set residing on !. between Seventeenth
and Twentieth streets.
shall we call?' is the question agitat-
ing these matrons, with the result that,
so far no cards have been left at the
door The difficulty Is increased by the
fact that few. IL any, of the women who
desire to do the proper thing We're num-
bered among those receiving cards for the
wedding, 1dcI NHlcr, uuuei VI uiioiS
circumstances, would release them from
any obligations in that direction. Mrs.
Longworth may no longer be numbered
among official maidens, since her mar
rage places her on the list of congress
sional matrons and subject to the same
responsibilities and rules governing them.
Instead of filing the envable position of
the daughter OF the White House and as
such, entitled to every nonor and con
sideration, she must adapt herself to the
rules and regulations Of the wives OF the
members of the lower house of Congress.
Thus, socially she must make important
changes in her way of calling or not call
ing-as fancy has heretofore dictated
any infringement of the rule being fol-
lowed by embarrassing complications, de-
spite the democratic absence of form in
the country.
Just what the outcome will be is in
teresting to many Observers

Lew Dockstader's mlnstrels drew a
packed house at the jefferson theatre last
night. The crowd was typical of min
strel night, prepared TO laugh at short
notice and anxious for entertainment
The comedy features of the show were
received with acclaim, although there
was not enough genuine minstrelsy of the
sort that was popular in the old days
Dockstader's performance, like that of
Field and other minstrel managers of
today, is a melange of burlesque. vaude-
vile and what is rather awkwardly
termed male comic opera" 1t Is sort
of black-face musical comedy There
is q difference of opinion as to whether
the new style minstrel show is as accept
able and entertaining as the old but 1t is
noticed that the features which evoked
most applause fifteen or twenty years ago
create the greatest uproar today.
Mr.. Dockstader has provided for this
season an elaborate entertainment APP
pealing to all classes of theatregoers, not
excluding those who do not like min
strelsy as a rule. The first part is up to
the usual standard, without being con-
spicuously brilliant, being relieved by
some funny comedy by Neil O'Brien. Mr..
Dockstaders song hit. Everybody Works
But Father" had already been done to
death in Birmingham by comedians who
brought the song down here while Mr..
Dockstader was singing it last summer.
1 would have fallen fiat had not the col
ored contingent in the gallery been in
duced to join in the chorus. This brought
forth a storm of applause from the lower
part OF the house. for the colored patrons
acquitted themselves handsomely.
What used to be called the ollo, now
the second act of the performance, was
dominated by Mr.. Dockstader in a series
of novelties including the album of min
strelsy, the rubber neck hack" and the
pursuit" all of them clever Mr.. Dock
staders local jokes caused merriment,
but the comieal moving picture pursuit
provoked most laughter and applause
Mr.. Dockstader was not feeling ft." as
the result of cold, so he did not over
exert himself at any stage of the pro-
~eedlngs. However, some of his jokes
were quite clever.
The Introduction to Mr. Dockstaders
specialties. sort of dancing festival, was
we'll staged and pleasing novelty.
Neil OBrien made everybody laugh with
his burlesque entitled. Bargain Day in a
Department Store" but the slxit was not
as funny as his burlesque last year on the
trolley car conductor. 1.-THE Light Fan
tastic," another song and dance number,
was prettily staged.
The concluding part of the perform
ance was excellent, introducing a sweet
song, Little Moses" and a real picka-
ninny who won friends by being utterly
Indifferent to the disturbance around
about and extremely sleepy. During the
sketch a cyclone took place and the last
act showed the little pickaninny seated
alone by the ruins of its former home
while the last verse of Little Moses"
was being sung. This feature was novel
and Manuel Roman sang the song well.

MACE TO BE BUILT ARE HEARD
ON THE STREETS.

Ensley, March 3.-(speeial)-Affairs in
Ensley are comparatively quiet with the
exception of the usual activity in business
lines. A number of real estate deals are
made daily, but none of any magnitude
are reported.
The sessions of the city court are most
" taken up in the disposal Of minor
cases. Drunks and disorderly conduct
compose the bulk of charges on the
docket.
Rumors are heard almost daily as to
great engagements in industrial lines in
and about the city. 1t seems to be almost
a certainty that the steel plant will be
greatly enlarged and that at least one
new blast furnace will be erected in the
near future. All this talk has caused the
people TO believe more strongly in the
possibilities of Ensley and to prophesy as
to its great future.

Nerve

Everything depends upon
YOUR nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the live to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, SO
if YOU feel WORKOUT, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
we'll, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take DR.. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.

Briand's Threat to the Pope on
 French Separation Trouble.
 PARIS, Aug. 17.-M. Briand, the min ister of public worship, received several of his political supporters and discuss ed with them the situation created by the pope's encyclical letter to the French arshbishops and bishops with reference to their attitude toward the law for the separation of church and state. NJ. Briand denied that the gov ernment was disposed to enter upon negotiations with the pope for an un- derstanding, based on modification Of the law, which, he declared, must be applied as it stands.
 NJ. Briand added that the government believed that the law would be ac- cepted in the end, and he sincerely de sired that it should be so on account of the internecine strife which refusal of the clergy to accept the law would entail, but he had also foreseen the possibility of resistance and had taken all necessary steps. 'I do not wish to say more on this subject" the minister concluded. but perhaps some of those measures will prove disagreeable sur prise to certain parties"
