AMATEUR NIGHT AT THEATRE.
Stock Company Shares The Honors
With Home Folk.

T.aSt night was amateur night NJ
the Colonial Theatre. and after the
Derforlnance OF the startling melo-
drama in four acts entitled Tracked
Around the World, the local talent
with n penchant for the limelight,gos
its work in satisfactorily, or otherwise.
That the local talent had its nerve
with ii IS not to be disputed. Several
young men after they once got on the
stage stuck fast. and it was impossible
To get them of until the lights We're
turned out. Somc OF the amateurs
were very good. but some We're not,
and il is invidious TO partiealarlxe.
one Young man whose name was
French, but which might have been
German. Irish or Greek, 80 far as his
enunciation was concerned, sang a
song with twenty three verses and
would have been singing yet but,
what's the use.
The audience is still puzzling over
Mr.. Browns particular stunt, and Is
not quite sure whether the gentleman
was irving To make u fool of the aus
disnee or of himself. The amateurs
performance, however, all went, and
the fun was taken in good part. The
real performance by the Earl Bur
CESS Stock Company was the best yet.
While the plot was of that impossible
stripe that most melodramas are
made OF, the stock company made
the best of it, and was seen TO the best
advantage The heroine was easy
and natural and bore her trials and
tribulations charmingly. She has
mcuh improved since her first appear
ance here.
Mr.. Cunningham, the hero, has
cast aside some of his staid manner
and soberness and was more gra-
cious and natural, although the char
acter was trying one. lie IS an
ideal hero in appearance and is be-
ginning TO prove he is capable of
acting his part. at least. Jolly, good
natursd, versatile Mr.. Paine con-
tinues TO please his audiences. lie Is
alwavs happily cast and makes the
very best of his part. As a jew, Mr..
Bassett is especially worthy of mem
tion. He filled the NIL with due credit
to himself and emphasized that he Is
a clever imitator OF other things, be-
sides barn yard fowls, birds and troll
ley cars, which Imitation is one of his
specialties. The villain and villain
ess upheld their respective roles to a
nicely and after killing few others
were finally killed themselves.
The Earl Burgess Stock Company
has grown more and more popular
each night of its engagement. IL Is
composed of good matreial among It's
cast, and has made friends in Annapo-
lis, where il will find a hearty welcome
should ii pass this way again.

GEOGIA SETS PACE IN PROGRESS
Mills, Railroads And Skyscrapers
Sign Of Coming Indus
trial Era.

Columbus, Ga., Nov. IT, l1ncour-
aged by favorable labor conditions, a
great influx of outside capital, and al
most unlimited natural resources, the
Industrial development now being
wrought in the Southern states. is
nothing short of wonderful.
In every part of Georgia can this
increased activity be noticed. Co
lumbus, where the falls of the Chat
tahoochee river furnish over 200, GOO
horse power, is one of the most strik-
ing examples of the South's indus
trial growth. Within the past year
it has increased over 5000 in popula-
tion. There have been new indus
tries formed and old ones merged
with larger capital, involving total
new investment of nearly So, 600, 600.
Colubmus, while formerly only a
cotton center, is now surrounded by
prosperous foundries. sugar cane
mills, paper mills and other large
plants of every description. And
there is room for many more. With
the increase in the number of factor
les has come a tremendous railroad
development to take care of the ship
ping. Instead of being in a rail
road packet, with it's manufactures
at the mercy of one railroad, Column
bus has become the center of a rail
road boom with new lines going out
in every direction. Three new roads
to different gulf ports are now in
course of construction. With a navi-
gable waterway from Columbus 10
the gulf, the railroads must enter in
to competition with an all-watel
route to the central and WESTERN
states.

Thomas Bowman, one Of the watch
men at the Naval academy, has left
Annapolis without notifying the au-
thorities of his intention, and il is un-
derstood that his wife, an Annapolis
woman, does not know Of his where
abouts. Bowman was expected to re-
port for duty at / o'clock in tha
morning about a week ago, but did
not appear. The watchmen at the
Naval academy are not enlisted, but
IL is the custom for them to give the
Academy authorities due notice OF
their intention to give up the posi-
fion. Bowman is about 40 years OF
age, of medium height. He was for
Inerly an engineer on the New ork
city elevated railway and was also at
one time a member Of the Marine
Corps and stationed here. He has held

WHAT NEXT CONGRESS MAY Do
Some Measure For The Relief of
American Shipping May
Be Enacted.

Washington, y. g., NOV. l7.-At ihs
next Congress. which commences Its
sitting on December 4, some very i'm
porfanf measures are promised 10 be
introduced Among the first item on
The legislature program is the enact
Inent of some measure of relief foI
American shipping engaged in foreign
trade.
Those II charge OF this measure
hase been held back by the pre-emi-
nenee given TO other legislation. which,
on account Of the state Of public opin-
ion. was deemed to be more urgent.
Vow. however the advocates OF some
form Of effective relief regard their
cause as having the right Of way.
Some OF their representatives 20 so far
as to say that the powers that be,
both executive and legislative, have
given assurances that a shipping sub
sidy law would be put en- the statute
books at the approaching session.
n IS rarely that important iegisla &
ton IS enacted on a short-session and
this session can only last until March
]. hut should this measure pass IT
must not bc taken for granted that any
immediate Improvement must neees-
sarilv come to existing lines in
4 AmNTfNIn itEtrttNs 4nt ttb@oAlN hNW
pendfne In the Senate committee s
hands promised little, if any, sub
stanHal aid to the few steamship
lines Of importance, in order to meet
inc criticisms that such aid would
practically all to TO few large con
Germs. Questions of domestic COM
nerce are bound TO occupy much of
the time of Congress.
The coal trade investigation and the
grain trade inquiry by the Interstate
commerce Commission are likely to
furnish matters for much discussion.
Under the La Toilette resolution the
fact OF collusion between railroads and
primary market grain concerns has
again been established, and the state
grain dealers association have for the
hundrodth time been shown TO be act
ing in restraint of commerce, both
state and Interstate. If Congress does
not consider this matter disappoint-
ment win be great, but enforcement
OF the existing laws, rather than new
legislation should be carried out.

BLOCK HOUSE TO Be MOVED.
Colonial Monument Now In The
Midst Of The Pittsburg
Freight Yards.

| Pittsburrg. Pa, Nov. 17.-IIow Il
preserve the only remaining monu.
ment of British occupation in this
region is.a problem that is agitatine
the press and public OF Pittsburg.
| In an effort 10 keep an old block
house. built in 1864, where il now
stands. in the midst Of the busiest and
most congested section of the city,
the Daughters Of the American.Revo-
luton has lost the first skirmish in
the courts.
This forecasts the removal Of the
house TO some site where ID viii be
safe from damage and decay and
where II can be seen by visitors. The
historic little building is surrounded,
kept for a narrow strip of land con-
Meeting il with Penn avenue, by the
freight yards OF the Pennsylvania Rail
road. 1t was proposed to remove the
block house TO some public park--the
plan adopted with William Penn's Cot
tage in Philadelphia the offer
was rejected by the ID. 4. r., who
own the block house. The block house
was built during the stormiest period
OF the war between the English and
the Indians, one hundred and forty
two years ago.
Pontiae's war had broken out the
year Before. 1863. Fort Pitt. which
then stood on the present site OF Pitts
burg. was assailed by the Indians.
II looked as If the garrison was doom
ed 10 death when Colonel Henry
Bouquet was sent TO its relief. on
the way he defeated large body of
Indians, and after this reverse they
gave up the siege of Fort Pitt and
fled. 1t was in the summer of 1864
that Colonel Bouquet built the block
house, as an outpost TO Fort Pitt. 1t
IS curious little structure, built of
heavy stone with small port holes for
guns. on all sides the ground has
been raised too higher level, SO that
the building is in a hollow.
just TO the north of it are the new
Pennsylvania terminal warehouses and
platforms. To the east of the house
are the ends of tracks which can 90
no further on account OF it. Ii the tiny
piece of land could be secured il would
mean the handling of hundreds of tons
OF more freight in day in badly
eongested district. Everybody realizes
that the block house is valuable
historic relic and ought to be pre-
served only the ID. A. r.. hold the
opinion that the real purpose of preseT-
vation would be better achieved by
having this remnant fpre-revolution-
ary days removed to some environ
ment more suitable than a freight yard

Answer Probably no redress. The
driver OF an automobile, or carriage,
or locomotive, has the right 20 assume
that any animal, such as 4 eat or a
dog. can take care OF itself and viii
get out of the way. Hence, the law
imposes on driver of vehicle a les
degree OF care than in the case of a
person being in tho way. II the dri
yer of the automobile ia question was
drunk, or rceklossly driving, his liza
bility might be somewhat different:
But Mother OF these facts appear in
your statement of the case.

4 TRAVELLER.

Answer---This is question that
can be answer,d d definitely only by a
trial in court of law. Your ticket
is merely voucher, or perhaps evi
dence of a contract of sale between
you and the railroad company. For
SO much money you have purchased
SO much transportation. The qucs-
ton IS can you collect your transpor-
tatiou whenever you wish. Tho law
in regard to such matters is not very
explicit. The general principle is
that railroad ticket, IL unlimited
on its face, as TO time, is good only
for reasonable time. Whether ten
years is such reasonable time Is a.
question for the jury to determine 1t
has been definitely decided in Texas
that no railroad ticket is legally
good after lapse of fourteen years.
| should say that the validity Of
your ticket Is, at the most, doubtful,
and tuat the conductor was probably
acting within his rights in refusing
TO honor such an ancient bit Of card
board.

Dear Editor:--ln your query column
caIf you tell me IL the railroad com
pany can be compelled 10 accept a
ticket ten years old, but which Is un-
used? A conductor refused mino once
because il was too old, he said.
