gave the privilege.
The "West Virginia Wonders" the

Friday afternoon 13 TO IL. 1t was a
strenuous affair, full of arguments,

Messrs. Gerhardt, Burkhart and
Russler returned Monday morning
from their fishing trip. They caught a
few fish, the water being too clear fer
successful bass fishing.
Charlie Pitzer went over the noun
tain Monday for squirrels, He got one
and after making strenuous efforts to
get near several others he gave it up as
a bad job and went to buying sto elk
with Eddie Henshaw.
Charley Hughes killed two squirrels
at Cherry Run, Tuesday morning.
Only the very hungry have gone
rabbit hunting so far.
The leaves and brush in the woods
are dry and squirrel hunting is a hard
piece of work. iThen Etoo, continual
shooting has made the little fellows
extremely timid.
Buffalo finished first in the f astern

Messrs. Henry Kastle and David

1.-THE Clansman," by Thomas Dixon
Jr., will play return engagement at
the Academy of Music, Baltimore, be-
ginning Monday night, Octi1, for one
week with Wednesday and Saturday
matinees. The phenomenal success of
this remarkable play last season was
such that it is generally referred to as
the most talked of play during the
past forty years. Dealing as it does
with probably the npi, lntst; p;-
riod in American history, it is perme-
ated with an emotional interest which
carries its appeal to both North and
South, and it has been witnessed with
almost frantic enthusiasm in all of the
large cities of botn sections. Whether
the spectator agrees or disagrees with
| the authors views on the negro ques-
ton has no influence on the ENJOY
ment of the play as play. Every au-
ditor is.held firmly in in the grip Of
the thrilling situations founded on the
facts of history
| Although the scenes are laid in South
Carolina there is not one line of sect
ionalism in the play, not one word to
SHOW prejudice against tie North.
| Rather the reverse is true, for the hero
inc, VINO discloses all of the most adj
mirable qualities of noblest woman
| hood, is a Northern girl.
: 1t is undeniably true that Mr.. Dix
on's play presents the race problem in
a powerful manner, and his convict
ion that his message to the North on
on this question would meet with care
full thought and consideration has been
justified by the reception of the play.
and by the enormous sale Of his novels
"The Leopard's Spots" and the
"Clansman" with which the drama is
founded.
The era depicted is that of reconstruc-
ton in the South, when the members
of the Klu Klux Khan wrested the gov
eminent of the Southern States from
the illiterate negroes and the rapacious
carpetbaggers. The mystei ious Khan is
shown upon the stage, its habit and
ceremonial revealed, in a picturesque
and awe-inspirng manner. Through
the drama runs the thread of delight
full love story between gallant South
ern cavalier and beautiful daughter
of the North, and the whole is bright
eLed by bounteous supply of genuine
old-fashioned darkey fun.
The many advance orders received
for seats indicate a record breaking run
of the "Clansmann during this engage
ment at the Academy, and out of town
patrons are strongly advised to order
their tickets we'll in advance, thereby
obtaining better locations and savoid
ing the discomfort of having to stand
in line the night of their arrival at the
theatre and possibly lose something of
the play.
Following the engagement in Balti-
more, "The Clansmann will be seen in
Washington for one week, beginning
Oct. Sth, at the Columbia Theatre.

JUST WOMEN.

At the Desplaines campmeeting
"Deaconess Day" developed a protest
against being called angels" The
deaconesses said that they were just
women. Angels neither sin nor suf-
fer" said the president, ''and we do
both. The costumes we wear do not
make us angels any more than fine
feathers make fine BIRDS:
That is common sense view that
the deaconess takes, instead of being
susceptible to the flattery implied in
the term "angel." Woman. has her
place and her duties, and if her place
is filled we'll and her duties are we'll
done the appreciation on the part of
the world is Just as much as If she
allowed herself - be represented as
something super-human. The term
angel" is not to be applied indiscrim-
inately by earthly beings. Sometimes
those who appear for many years to
be the most cngelic turn out to have
been the most devilish. No, the clothes
do not count

NOT so BAD.

Iowa does not look SO bad after all
when Illinois gets warmed up into a
political battle. The campaign has
only been on a week and half of every
Chicago paper is given over daily to
the speeches and political movements
A former governor has said that man
who Is now clerk of q federal court
offered him $4,000 to sign Chicago
race track bill, and the court officer
comes back with the statement that ne
did not consider 1t worth $50, but that
the governor had told him he had been
offered $4,000 and that he would not
do 1t for less than 100000.
AS bad as it has been in Iowa moth
ing like that has developed. Here the
issues have been questions of SINGER.
ity or insincerity; the question as to
which could tack the most railroads
onto the other fellow and do it first;
and the question as to whether two
terms was not enough for a governor
Since the campaign opened matters
have grown worse, but almost the
whole controversy now is on matters
that have developed as incidents Of
the fight.
