Luna Park Features.

There Is nothing so enhancing as good
music. 1t will continue to be one Of lifes
most divine pleasure-giving arts. so long
as red blood tingles in the veins of man.
Kind, and w. Reginald Herbert, now con-
Quoting the Grenadier Guards Eand at
Luna Park, is on to all the curves requi-
site in making the art stand out as it
should. His programs are well graded
and are most generously punctuated with
actlVe encores, and as a consequence this
talented musical organization is PLAYING
TO Hatterlng audiences every afternoon
and evening. The feature about the
band that makes it more commanding to
the eye than similar organizations that
have spilled their melody about this at
tractlVe retreat is the elegantly fitting
military coats in which the fifty men are
CARRIED. They are made of red melton
cioth with breast trimmings that give
the Wearer a soldferly appearance
There is something long to be remem-
bered about the daring loop the loop as
performed by Mile. Loubet Her appara-
tus covers a space of $50 feet in length,
and at it's highest point is on a level with
the Chateau Alphonse" roof To see a
woman pitch headfirst down an incline of
thlrty-elght degrees Is nothing short of
astounding, and the unique manner in
which she breaks the fall after having
circied the loop is both ingenious and
interesting.

WOMAN NOT AMENABLE.
Conditions When Wife Is Not Re-
sponsible for LIQUOR Selling.

That a married woman who sells liquor
without license when her husband is on
the premises and at least constructively
in control Is not liable to a conviction for
keeping an unlicensed bar was the opinion
given by Judge Kimball from the bench
in the District branch Of the Police Court
this morning in the case of Mary Cephus,
who was charged jointly with her husband,
Moses. with keeping a speakeasy. Mary's
discharge was ordered by the court and she
was released. Moses was convicted previ-
ously and given a sentence of six months
in Jail.
The case first came into court about two
weeks ago, and Attorney T. L. Jones ap-
peared in behalf of Mary Cephus. He
raised the question against the legality Of
charging the wife in this case, and date
for the argument of the motion was set.
Attorney Jones last Saturday presented his
arguments and authorities, and today Judge
klmball announced that the contention Of
the defendants lawyer was correct
Judge kfmball held that the wife Is ex-
cused when she Is acting in the presence Of
her husband because of the theory Of the
law. which holds that a woman is then
under the duress OF her husband The au-
thorities, according to Judge Kimball, hold
that the wife Is excused even If acting only
In the constructive presence of her husband,
as for instance If he were in another room
In the house or in the yard adjoining the
house
The decision is regarded as being of much
Importance. The police have frequently ar
rested both husband and wife in raids. find
ing both selling. and have charged them
jointly. After this ruling, however the
husband must take all the consequences.

UNIQUE THEATER INCIDENT.
Miss Winston Receives an Ovation at
Reception at New National.

A bit of quiet dialogue, not included in the
original book of Auber's romantic opera.
Fra Diavolo," served it's purpose a
worthy memento Of Washington stage his
tory last night at the New National The
alter when JEANNE Winston. the famous
prima donna of over fifty operas, stepped
from her private box to the footlights, and
took curtain call with Esteile Wentworth
amid prolonged applause from the big au-
dience.
Miss Wentworth told Miss Winston that
her one desire is that she may be as sue
cessful as she had been. 1t was a great
time for the big audience, and one that will
linger in the memory of those privileged to
see and hear the unusual ovation.
JEANNE Winston attended the theater as
the guest of Miss Wentworth although the
latter had never had the privilege of meet
ing her. When the principals of the opera
company had concluded the grand finale or
the second act of Fra Diavolo' Miss Went
worth tossed an immense bouquet of Amerl-
can beauty roses into Miss Winstons pri-
vate box. This unusual greeting seemed to
serve as Miss Winston's signal to go upon
the stage to meet her prima donna admrer,
which she did amid great applause.
To many playgoers of Washington 1t Will
be recalled that JEANNE Winston was for
over thirty years the rage of the American
and foreign opera stage. During her last
appearance at the old Albaugh Grand Opera
House here it was necessary to call police
reserves, so great was the waiting throng
of spectators, all anxious to get glance
at their favorite when she passed from the
stage door to her carriage.

THE THEATER.
''Zaza, !"

Miss Charlotte Walker will appear in
"ZaZa' next week at the Belasco Theater,
supported by the full strength Of the Belas-
co Stock Company The offering will be the
biggest production of the entire season at
the Belasco, and it will also be the greatest
undertaking In Miss Walkers professional
career. This clever and versatile young
actress has not hes!tated to challenge COM
parison with some Of the greatest artists Of
the American stage by her work as Nora
in "A Dolls House." in which she achieved
such a sensational triumph, and now to
attempt to play Beasco's great heroine,
made famous by Mrs. Leslie Carter, Is a
feat of staggering proportions. But Miss
Walkers admirers feel that she Is fully
equal to the task. In fact, David Belasco
himself, under whose management Miss
Walker Is to become star early In the
new season, is credited with desire to see
Miss Walker 1mpersonate his celebrated
heroine. 1t Is even understood that the pro-
duction Of "Zaza'' next week at the Belasco
Theater made possible only because
Mr.. Belasco wanted to see Miss Walker
play the part, and reduced the almost pro-
hibitive royalty which would have been
asked of any one else.
Rumor at the Belasco Theater also credits
Mr.. Belasco with a prospective trip to
Washington next Monday night to see his
beautiful young star play the role. There
fore much interest attaches to Miss Wal
zaza' Certainly she has the youth and
beauty to bring to such a role, together
with the emotional temperament.
The great play will be realistically acted,
and the music hall scene of the first act
Will be enlivened with many picturesque
features. This will be without doubt the
climax OF the summer season in Washing
ton, for it will exceed all previous produc-
tons In point Of magnitude, and will GER
tanly prove the most potent drawing card
the Belasco Stock Company can possibly
put forward. Seats for Miss Walkers
appearance In "Zaza" are now on sale at
the box office. with no advance in prices
in spite of the unusual nature Of the offer
ing.
Owing to several showers last Monday
night, the reception to meet Miss Charlotte
Walker after the performance Of "A Bunch
OF Violets' was postponed, much to the
regret of several hundred admirers, who
visited the Belasco roof garden only to be
caught In the rain. In response to many
letters Of regret, Miss Walker has there
fore consented to hold the postponed re-
ception on the stage of the Belasco Theater
after the matinee next Saturday. Miss
Walker Is glad to hold this reception after
matinee, as most Of those who are so
anxious to meet her are young girls who
cannot conveniently attend night perform
ance. The management announces, how
ever, that the reception Saturday after
noon will positively be Miss Walkers fare
well reception this summer

occoQUAN CREEK CHANNEL.
Water Deepened for Benefit of River
Vessels

The dredging machine Jack belonging to
a Baltimore firm, has completed the work
of deepening the water in Occoquan creek,
and has sailed from the creek to Cam
bridge, Md, where she will do some chan
nel-deepening work under private contract.
Occoquan creek, where the dredge was
working, is one Of the tributaries OF the
Potomac in Virginia, about thirty miles be-
low this city. From it comes quantities of
railway ties, cord wood and lumber con-
signed to dealers in this city; the tonnage
coming out of it being considerable in the
course of a year.
Under government contract the Jack has
completed a channel several thousand
yards long, from the mouth Of the creek,
through a mud and sand bar. so that YES
sells drawing six feet of water can get in
and out of the creek at all stages of the
tide. with the possible exception Of an ex-
tremely low tide caused by fall or winter
Northwestern.
The work in the creek was done under the
supervision of the United States army en-
gineers, and completes extensive improve
ments to tributaries of the Potomac and
Chesapeake bay, which have been in prog
ress for about two years past. Among the
waterways deepened was Bretons bay and
the approaches to Leonardtown, Nd.

Find Son and DAUGHTER

Harris Adler, a former Baltimorean. ap-
pealed to the police n Baltimore yesterday
to assist him in locating his daughter Lii
liam Adler, eight years of age His story
was that his daughter and son, the latter,
Aaron Adler, ten years of age, disappeared
from his home in Los Angeles, Cal, two
years ago claiming that they came east

of his troubles:
1T was in May. 1905 that she suddenly
left California, taking with her the two
children and another gil named Lena
Brooches. The chief OF police was notified
and finally the father of the Brooches girl
came to Baltimore and found his daughter
and took her back home. In December

cided to come here and get them at any
risk

TO JANUARY DOCKET
LAND FRAUD" CASES NOT TO BE
TRIED IN FALL.

United States Attorney Baker with con-
sent of Justice Stafford and counsel for the
defense, VIII not call the land fraud cases
against Benson, Hyde, Dimond & Schnei-
der at the fall term of Criminal Court No.
l. The case will probably be made the
first on the January docket.
Two reasons are assigned for the post
ponement of these cases, which have been
specially set two or three times-one the
crowded condition OF the criminal docket
and the other the recent act of Congress
allowing only $4,000 for witnesses fees in
the District Supreme Court during the cur
rent year.
Effort Will be made to have Congress in
crease this appropriation soon as they
convene, to cover the enormous cost
of bringing about seVenty-ive witnesses
from the Pacific coast to this District to
testify for the government In the land
cases
The trial of the murder charges against
Mrs. Annie NJ. Bradley and Castor P.
Philip Will take up a large part of the
October term, which comprises only about
ten weeks. Add to these possible re-
trial of Edwin S. Holmes, jr.. indicted for
conspiracy in connection with the cotton
leak scandals of the Department of Agrt-
culture. whose first trial resulted in dis
agreement. and the entire short term will
have expired with scarcely an opportunity
to hear any of the Jail cases.

OPPOSE CHANGE IN SCHEDULE.
Gen. Elliott and Col. Bromwell Pre-
fer Present Hours for Concerts.

Gen. Elliott, commandant Of the Marine
Corps, and Col Bromwell, the engineer Of
ficer In charge of public buildings and
grounds. are opposed to having the Marine
Band concerts in the White House grounds
to begin later than o'clock pm, as has
been requested. Gen. Elliott says the pre-
vailing hours for the concerts are the re-
suit of many years of experience, and are
believed to be convenient the majority
of citizens. 1t would be good deal of
extra trouble to have the concerts at a
later hour, In providing lights for the mu
sicians. etc.: and Gen. Elliott says lit would
certainly be unfair to the members of the
band who have been working hard all
day, to compel them to work an hour or SO
later In the evening"
Furthermore, he said, the season Is ad-
vancing, and darkness comes earlier and
earlier every evening, so that 1t would be
possible to give only few concerts on
later schedule than the one now in opera
ton. Although it is the desire of every
concerned to contribute to the pleasure
and convenience of the public in this mat
ter, 1t was necessary also to consider some
what the interest of the bandSmen and the
general good of the service.
AS earnest of what has been done to
crafty the desire of the public to hear the
concerts of the Marine Band in winter as
well In the summer time, Gen. Elliott
called attention 10 the fact that the gov
eminent has provided at some expense,
me, large Dand haIl at the marine barracks
on Sth street southeast, where the band
plays al stated intervals throughout the fall
and winter These concerts are open to
the public. and the band hall is fitted up
like theater, with good seats for 800 per-
sons. Gen. Elliott said In conclusion that
he was opposed to adding to the working
hours of the members of the Marine band
who are Woodworking lot of men, simply
to accommodate a few people of leisure
some of whom he added significantly
are doing all they can to make trouble
for the band"
Col. Bromwell, who has charge Of the
White House grounds, is also opposed to
changing the hours of the band concerts at
the White House. After explaining that
the Marine Band is under the Navy De-
partment. Col. Bromwell said he was OPP
posed to opening the White House grounds
at night. There are not enough lights"
said he, and II would be hard to keep or
der. Besides being too dark, the dirt and
waste paper could not be collected until the
next morning, and the appearance of the
grounds would suffer thereby. If concerts
were held in the White House grounds at
night the musicians would have to play in
the oval at the south end OF the grounds.
Sometime ago l had the hours of the
concerts of the Engineers Band and the
Cavalry Band changed. that now they
play from 7:3O pm. until o. That shows

tending me, but none of them could effect a per-
manent cure. One of them gave me arsenic and
tried that for three months. but 1t did little
good IL any. / read a Cutcura advertisement In
the paper about one year ago, and decided to try
the treatment. l used only two cakes of Cuticura
Soap, one box of Cutfcura Ointment and one bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent. 1t gave great relief
but after l had stopped using 1t for a month the
eczema came back. As the Cuticura treatment
was the only thing that gave any relief l
started 1t again and persisted with it until was
entirely cured, which took from five to six months,
and 1 have not been troubled since. l still
the SOAP as it has such good healing qualities and
does not irritate the skin as the general OF
