CON mittees 1t appears that they have been
by no means Idle. The transit committee
has been engaged In gathering evidence in
support of the demand for reform OF the
transit rates. They give some remarkable
examples In their report OF the manner In
which tho Irish manufactured II handf-

Close Of Season at Chase's.
WHAT Mr.. CHASE SAYS.

Mr.. Chase believes that an apoI-
ogy and explanation is due to his
loyal patrons for the seemingly
early closing Of the theater. The
season opened to standing room,
! played to standing room and
is closing to standing room.
| This is as it Should be, as inter
est and attendance should never
| be permitted to diminish. The
supply Of good vaudeville acts LIS
limited and it is far better to
| provide for your entertainment
| forty weeks of splendid vaudeville
| than to undertake to keep open
additional weeks with bills below
the high standard set. Vaudeville
artists receive large salaries.
| many are wealthy. owning city
| and country homes, others travel
through Europe In the summer for
| pleasure, and 1t Is with difficulty
| that even average good bills can
| be booked after the middle OF
| May.
| Another most important reason
l Tor closing at this time Is that
| the most elaborate and extensive
improvements, involving the ex-
l penditure of many thousands of
dollars, will be made to the the
alter during this summer yaca-
l ton, and several weeks OF time
are required within which to
| complete the work You now have
| for your amusement home the
| handsomest theater In Washing
| ton, but next season 1t viii rank
| among the most beautiful In
1 America. Without your loyalty
this theater would not be in ex-
\ istence, and for your loyalty Mr..
Chase is deeply grateful and ap-
| preciative.
| During the coming years there
will be no change in policy or
r. prices.
| The bookings for next season
are progressing rapidly, and all
the newest novelties and best
comedies in the four quarters Of
the globe are being searched for
by our American and foreign rep
resentatiyes and viii be secured,
regardless of expense, for your

Success Of the Movement.

The best tribute to the growing success
OF the Irish industrial development move
ment and the strong strength Of patriotic
opinion In its favor is the fact that 1t has
become profitable to the foreigner to fraud
ulertly represent his goods as Irish, and
that not merely in the Irish market. The
mark will defeat these frauds. 1t may
do more. In many fields of production
Irish manufacturers are foremost in quality.
Some of the producers suffered in the past
for their unbendable refusal to enter into
competition with the cheap and nasty.
The Irish poplin trade was killed by Its
contempt for cotton. Undoubtedly made

Question of Infant Mortality.

Wrongly Named Pests.

The origin Of the so called San Jose
scale is not certainly known, but 1t Is
reasonably sure that it was brought
from China about 1870 on some plants
imported by James Lick and placed on
his property in the Santa Clara valley.
By 1880 it had come to beTecognized
as serious pest and in that year was
found near San Jose and described by
Professor Comstock, who named 1t
Aspidiotus perniciosus." That name
being too hard for most OF US, the pest
has become known the world over as
the San Jose scale from the place
where it was first found by Professor
Comstock. very much to the disgust OF
the people Of that city and vicinity,
who do not suffer from it in any appre-
ciable degree.-San Francisco Chroni-

ance Of $2s5 coming to him. This man
wanted his money. BE was g good
talker and persuaded the firm to pay
him off In case be could get the other
creditors to grant an extension Of time.
So he called meeting Of the creditors
and talked to them eloquently about
the prospects Of the firm getting on its
feet again If it only had time. he
seemed to have won ont when little
old man in the back Of the room rose
and in a squeaky voice declared that
he, for one, wanted his money and did
not want to wait for it. Don't you
think it is rather selfish of you to inter
fere with this plan, in which all of the
other creditors have agreed" asked
the first man. 1--WE are willing to wait
for the amount of our claims. Every
one Of US, including myself, believes
that this firm should have plenty Of
time. How much is your Claim, any

Rcau Of Fort Sheridan.

Once Il man who had the reputation
Of never having been beaten for the
position OF orderly came from another
regiment. Private Haarscher and the
newcomer, as luck would have it, were
detailed fo- guard the same day. The
whole garrison turned out to see which
one the adjutant would pick for the
coveted place. To all outward signs
there was no difference in the neatness
and soldierly appearance Of the two
men.
The officer spent about twenty min
utes examining the rifles, belts, car
fridge boxes and brasses Of the two
soldiers. There was absolutely nothing
to choose between them in point Of
neatness Of appearance. Finally, as
last resort. the adjutant unbuttoaed

faded but absolutely clean undershirt

man on that day who walked past post
