THE PEOPLES LOBBY.
A NOn.Partisan Organization At Washington
New Ideas In Public Affairs.

Washington is watching with much
interest the working out of a distinct
ly new idea in public affairs. This is
the Peoples Lobby-a non-partisan
organization designed ofoster wider
knowledge of national legislation.
and 10 indorse or oppose such bills as
affect the genreal welfare of the peo-
pie.
The basic idea is that, if the people
know the facts on legislative matters,
public opinion will find such wide
expression that it cannot be disregard
cd. Channels Of publicity are not
lacking. The peoples Lobby has the
support of large number of leading
newspapers and of such publications
as Success, golfers and ''Ridg-
ways
An important branch of the work of
the organization is the careful com
piling of the public record of every
Senator and Representative. The peo-
pie have a right to know from an un-
prejudiced source what their legisla-
tors"are doing. The influences brought
to bear on members of Congress will
also be examined into. This means
a history of the Third House''-tne
secret lobbyists, who are so successful
in influencing legislation for the
benefit of the special interests
which employ them.
The plan seems broad enough and
practical enough TO augur great puDlic
good if intelligently carried into
effect. The personnel of the Govern
ing Committee and of the men in
charge of the bureau in Washington
would seem to promise this result, and
the willingness of the people TO in
dorse the project and to support il
with their subscriptions is attested by
hundreds of communications received
from every state in the Union and
from Panama, Hawaii and the Phil
ippine Islands. Enthusiastic letters are
still being recsived daily, and the or
ganization continues TO make its APP
peal for subscriptions for any amount
from 81 upward.
Henry Beach Needham, whose ex-
perience as journalist in Washing
ton, led him to suggest the formation
of the Peoples Lobby,,is the secretary
in charge ..of the Washington bureau,
located in the Munsey Building.

THE RUSTLERS.
The Lyman Twins Give Good Performance AT
Local Playhouse.

The Lyman Twins made their bow
in Annapolis last night at the Colo
nial Theatre in three-act musical
farce comedy entitled The Rust
lers. The Messrs. Lyman are so
identical in form, face and feature
that their own mother could scarcely
tell ''tother from which.
They are strikingly similar in pro-
file rs we'll as full face. Eyes, hair,
features, expression, all are alike and
if there is the slightest difference 1T is
in their ! height, one seems to be
slightly taller, or perhaps holds him.
self more erect than the other. Botn
dance well and sing well. their voices
blending in perfect harmony. Indeed
the Lyman Twins are the whole show,
although that is saying great deal,
for the show is very good. 1t contains
abundance of pleasing novelties and
charming specialties. The stage set
tings are beautiful and the electrical
effects are good.
There isn't much of a plot, but then
nobody cares for a plot in musical
farce-comedy. The plot, what there
is of it is woven about the twins
whose striking resemblance gives rise
to many funny situations. 1t is case
of mistaken identity throughout, even
the wife of one OF the twins does not
know her own husband from his twin
brother, and the complications that
arise are very funny.
The Lyman Twins are exceedingly
clever, not to say versatile. They are
quite young, in their early twenties,
and have bright and promising fu-
ture. one of the twins is the most
graceful male dancer ever seen on the
local stage. Dancing with him is an
art which he has cultivated to a high
degree of perfection and grace. The
duet "Give My Love to Mother" was
sung by the Messrs. Lyman with great
effect and it received encore after en-
core, until one of the twins was
obliged to step out of mis- character
and make a speech, begging the au-
dience to permit the play to go on.
In the grotesque character of Miss
Spohia Wrinkle, Miss Katherine Evans
was very clever and the rest of the
cast was capable. 1t is to be regretted
the audience was small, as the work
of the Lyman Twins compares most
favorably with that of any comedians
seen on the local stage hitherto.

THE CAR FLOODED.
The Ice Cooler Couldn't Stand The Many
Railroad Curves.

Get on 10 my curves, said the
passenger coach on the short Line this
morning as il swung around at \
semi-circular bend near Glen Burnie.
- cant and / won l., = said the ice
cooler, as it lost its equilihruSm and
bounced 10 the floor from its exalted
pedestal, the top rolling of and the
ice scattering about, while the ice
water ran in streams and riNuletS 10
the far end of the ear.
One gentleman passenger was
drenehed. lie likes baths, takes .
shower every smorning, winter and
summer, but draws the line at pub
lie baths in passenger coach with
his best overcoat on. lie shivered as
the lev spray dashed over him,
brushed on what he could and tried
to compose himself for the rest of
the journey.
Lady passengers jumped on the
seats as though a mouse had scamp
cred out of the cooler instead of
cold, frigid ice in Jumps that soon
melted in the heat of the well-ven-
tilated coach. Even some men stood
up on the seats, as the water fiowf d
past. The brakeman came in, looked
at the fallen cooler, exclaimed "Isn [
this mess and went out again.
The conductor also took look at
the suddenl flooded car, but nothing
was done TO absorb the water or brush
il away.
The cooler is not TO blame. 1t just
couldn't help il. As the train going
at a mighty speed, whirled around the
curve, 1t just couldn't stand i'm its
place any longer but lost its balance
and-you know the rest. The ladies
in the car all took il good-naturedly
and gathered up their skirts as best
they conld, but some of them say the
moral is: IF you travel on rail-
road train where there are curves in
the road, be sure TO wear rainy day

Last night, as usual, was drill night
for Go. G, NJ. y. c., First Infantry.
After drill the men were treated to n
smoker by the officers of the company,
which was greatly enjoyed and ap-
preciated by the men and some of their

ishing condition, as was evidenced
by the number present.
There are no less than 1903 counts in
the indictment and Mr.. Miller tried to
have quashed all except the nrst count
of each of the eight indictments
against the company, these reducing
from $3S, 600, 900 to $50, 900 the possible
maximum fine against his.clients upon
conviction. The motion, TO have these
