Playwrioht,s Complaint.

Bronson Howard lays the blame for
an inferior stage upon the tired busi-
ness man who has to be amused. He
lately said: 81 hate the tired business
man. He is the cause of plays being
produced that keep four other men at
home. wish he would go home and
rest. The drama has no future in this
country until we cease to cater to the
tired business man."
The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. : It's great strength as stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

(FromS Our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, .. G., March 1e.-The
bill which makes sweeping changes In
the consular service, all believed to be
in tho direction OF reform. passed the
House to- day by practically unanimous
vote, and without roll call.
There was twenty minutes debate OH
each side Representative Flood. Of vir-'
ginin, who is member of tho Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, was the principal
speaker on the Democratic side, having
seventeen minutes there. Hc received
close attention while he explained the
provisions OF the bill. calling attention
i to the provisions, which require that
consular clerks bc,American citizens: that
the fee system In vogue In payment OF
consul be abolished; that Ave consuls-
general be appointed, one for each OF
the grand divisions OF the land, whose
duties require that they act In tho ca
pacity OF inspectors. bearing the rela-
ton to consulates that bank inspectors
bear to banks. with power to close up
consulate and take charge in case affairs
show such action to be necessary. Mr..
Flood thought the most important fea-
ture of the bill was the classification OF
consulatcs. He discussed briefly the
evolution Of this government and the
evolution OF business methods, requir-
Ing changes III the consular system, and
then called attention to the fact that the
South was almost entirely unrepresented
In the consular service. ia
Neither Georgia nor Alabama had a
single representative In the consular SER
vice, he said. Virginia was credited with
one consul, but he could not find that
anybody knew anything about him, and
he doubted whether he was in, reality
citizen OF the State
II the Republican party In the South is
composed of such poor lateral, said Mr..
Flood. that the President cannot find in
the party men At to Represent the COM
mercial interests abroad, he should Sc
lect some Southern men from some other
party than his own. The growth OF the
South In point of commercial Importance
in the past few years, he said. demanded
that 1t have representation in our con-
s1lar service. which represented abroad
the interest of the business OF the coun-
try.
In response to questions. Mr. Flood
explained that the reason for giving our
commercial representative at Manches-
ter. England, the title of consul general,
and allowing Liverpool to remain con-
sulate4 was due to the recent action of
the President in raising the rank of the
Manchester post. which step had been
taken because of the fact that the COM
rnercial representatives OF other powers
at Manchester had this higher rank.
while the Liverpool post was only
consulate. It5is the policy OF the gov
ernmentfto have our commercial repre-
sentatfves abroad have the same rank
given representatives OF the other powers
at the same posts.
