EMPIRE THEATRE

The Rays-Johnny and Emma-fully
satisfied the large audience at the Empire
theatre last evening with the production
of a musical farce in two parts, entitled.
Down the Pike" The play is as old as
it's name suggests, and has been seen III
this city several times; but 1t Is well
worth seeing again.
The theme OF the play frolics along the
line of mistaken identities and results in
many mirth-provoking situations. The
star role is given TO Mr.. Ray, who i'm
personates an apartment house Janitor.
His work is executed with much clever
ness, and he keeps the fun at a nigh
pitch Mrs. Ray, very successful IN the
character OF a strong minded wife, whose
husband has a fondness for pretty girls.
Dan Coleman. as her husband. does very
good. Fred Sterling is equally successful
as a detective. All the other characters
are seen TO good advantage, especially
Sam Goldman in his Hebrew role.
The play is one OF the funniest farces
of the day. and every line Is bristling
with comedy OF the gingery kind. There
are no dull moments, and the spectator
Is treated to a very enjoyable evening.
The chorus consists of IA ladies and
seven men and the singing Is very good.
Most OF the musical numbers are new.
but the old favorite, I'm the Janitor,
Is included, and received several encores
last evening. Among the other successes
are the following: I'm Very Fond of
You" ''rhe Little Red Old Schoolhouse,"
Soldier Boys I'm Blue" lola" "Snuggle
Me Closer" and Down in the Ever
glades."
Parodies and dancing specialties by Mr..
Goodman brought forth much applause.
and he was compelled TO do overtime
work.
The costumes are very lavish and beau
tiful: and the stage settings are very
elaborate. The long life OF the play has
apparently given the management oppor-
tunities 20 do away with all the previous
defects. and IL is now near perfection.
Charles +. Blaney's latest military
drama. entitled, wild Nell, Child OF
the Regiment" will be the attraction at
this theatre next week.

Romance of a
Virginia Maid

Mary Ball, who afterward became
the mother of Washington, was born
early in the eighteenth century, her
parents having emigrated to this coun-
try from England only few years
previously. Her girlhood was not ma
terially different from that Of the ay-
erage pioneer child in the wilderness.
and spinning and the other arts which
she learned we're such as were ac
quired also by her playmates, writes
Waldon Fawcett in the Woman's
Home Companion. The marriage Of
Miss Ball to Augustine Washington
attracted not little attention in the
countryside, for two reasons-the age
Of the bride and the fact that the
groom was a. widower. In those days
marriages were usually contracted
when the girls were mere children
and bride of twenty-four was nat
urally looked upon as an exception
to custom. The engagement Of Mary
and Augustine was of short duration
and the spring wedding which follow
ed was one of the events of the year
in Virginia social life. There was no
5ridal tour, but instead the young
couple journeyed to the estate of the
bridegroom. which enjoyed the distinc.
tion of being the largest plantation in
Westmoy Gland county. 1t is only fair
of course, to presume that the bride
was beautiful, but we have also the
authority for 1t of an old letter, the
writer Of which designates her as the
"comeliest maiden" she knows, and
grows very enthusiastic in expressions
of admiration for her faxen hair, blue
eyes. and cheeks ''like May blossoms.
Nor was the love-story of the Virginia
maiden devoid Of the always-desired
tinge Of romance, for tradition has it
that the dashing Augustine gained
realization of her charms IS she
nursed him back to health sitter he
had been seriously injured by the up
setting Of his carriage before the
home of his future bride. The friend
ship inaugurated on that interesting
occasion speedily ripened into mutual
love. Bereaved of her husband when
George was but eleven years of age,
and with four younger children to be
cared for. she discharged the RESPONSE
bilities thus sadly devolved upon her
with scrupulous fidelity and firmness.

The Power
of the Flag

In a little red house on a Massa-
chusetts hillside family OF children
spend the summer, and want to tell
you pretty story about them. One
day when they were crossing the
meadow behind the house a bird few
up near the path. Immediate search
showed in the midst Of the tall grass
at the foot of a meadow-sweet bush, a
nest with tiny eggs. 1t was the home OF
pair of vesper sparrows. After their
discovery the children watched 1t daily,
but were so careful not to disturb the
mother bird that she lost her fear
and allowed them to come quietly
near.
But early in July a party OF hay
makers appeared. The children were
In distress. Tearfully they ran to the
house with tidings Of the threatened
destruction Of the nest. He who is
the Father Of sparrows as well as Of
children was watching 1t all. Into
the minds Of the children he flashed
thought. With a shout they rushed
forth to the men to beg them to spare
the nest. "But how shall we know
where it Isl" we will mark the
spot" "All right" From the house
the children brought little flag, such
as is used to mark the graves OF vet
Grams, and planted it beside the
meadow-sweet bush.
On came the moving machine. The
next swath would bring destruction
perhaps death. to the brooding mother.
But at sight Of the flag the driver
reined his horses aside. He was too
patriotic to molest even a birds home
which was under the protection Of the
United States -Congrega-
tionalist.

Balancing Injuries.

Not long ago a young woman wrote
a letter to the correspondence column
of a city paper in which she offered
to teach anyone her profession free
of cost If they were in such circum-

kind offer was that wound had come
into her own life, leaving her bruised
and hurt. But" she said, II have

Standard Oil and the Boycott

The following Is taken from the report
OF the meeting OF the House committee on
foreign affairs yesterday at which consld-
Grafton was resumed Of the Foster bill for
weakening the Chinese exclusion law:
John Foord, secretary of the American
Asiatic Society. which is favorable to the
modified bill, presented to the committee
a letter from w. H. Libby manager of
the sales department of the Standard Oil
Company. Mr.. Libby shows that the sales
OF oil in three months in 1905 dropped more
than 100000 cases, and that the trade
with China, which should have shown a
healthy increase for the year 1905 over
1904. In reality showed a most abnormal
decrease. Mr.. Libby attributes the decrease
to the boycott which the Chinese have in
augurated against American goods Of all
kinds. The letter Is written from 20 Broad
way. the Standard Oil building and is
dated March 20. 1905. This letter had great
weight with the members Of the commit
tee as showing that as great and powerful
an organization as the Standard Oh Com
pany has been unable to compete against
the boycott"
At present, let US not forget, Mr. Rock
efeller is a sort of fugitive from justice.
He is guarded against the approach Of Off
GERS of the law who seek to summon him
to court to answer complaints formally
fled there. 1t is not his pleasure or. as he
may think, to his interest to respond. and
hence he withdraws from public notice,
and the courts may go hang.
Mr. Rogers, one of Mr.. Rockefellers lieu
tenants, has but recently shown a breezy
contempt for the law which quite set the
pegs in Its way. Service was obtained on
him, but for time he declined to answer
the questions propounded. He beamed upon
the interrogator-the attorney general Of
Missourf-from behind the protection of his
own attorney, and kept the information
sought to himself At last. after some
weeks. he obeyed peremptory order of
the court and condescended to answer, but
not until he had initiated his chief in the
attitude of toying with the law and its min
listers.
