AN EXPLANATION.

We are due the public an explana-
ton, which partly through inadver-
tence and partly on account OF a
Misunderstanding was omitted from
our report Of Governcr Glenn's
speech. During that Cay rumors
we're afoat that certain Of our
Graded School Trustees had object
81 to his speaking il that school.
T3ese ru1rors reached the ears of
he Governor and he referred to the
matter as reported in last week S
,ssue. However, at the close OF the
.3eech Rev. C. 7. Lumpki,1 explain
81 to the audience that while none
lad objected to the Governor g
s0eaking in the Graded School. GER
tain O. the trustees nat objected to
5heir children'a marching in the par
ade. which met the Governor ct the
station, because prohibition banners
would be carried. These objections
cave rise to the false reports. This
exclamation should have appeared at
the close Of cur report Of the Gov
crnor's speech.

The VICTORY F0R PROHIBITION.

We congratulate the people CT
Scotland Neck upon the recent vic
tory for prohibition. The fight has
been a hard one, and at times feel
ing has run high, even sometimes to
the point OF bitterness. Unfortu-
nately the battle was not always
waged upon purely irnpersonal
grounds; but now that it is all over,
we would appeal to the people gen
orally to "let by-gones be by-gones"
and join in concentered effort to
enforce the law, and work for the
general good Of the town and COM
munity. 4 house divided against
itself cannot stand, nor can town
advance unless al people pull to-
gether for its good. Let Us take
our little differences good-naturedly
and forget them as soon SIS pos
si5le.
The News and Observer has the
following to say Of the results Of the
election:
"The small majority against the
restoration Of the saloons in Scotland
Neck does not prevent its being re-
markabla victory. Unfortunately
there We're personalities mixed up
in the contest growing out Of past
troubles and they weighed more
with scn2e voters than the cause al
issue and made il more difficult tc
present the clear-cut issue to the
voters.
The temperance forces in the
State have appreciated the hare
fight that was being waged in Scot
land Neck and they will rejoice with
them in their we'll deserved victory
It means much, for in the onward
march against the liquor evil tht
temperance forces are fighting fol
every town where intoxicants are
sold. Victory for the saloons a
Scotland Neck would have e,lcourag
ed fight for saloons in other town:
in the East where the chief work foI
temperance must be done. Halifax
county has made progress and thu
good work will go or until all tht
counties now cursed with the run
traffic will follow the example @.
Scotland Neck and will refuse to Ii
~cease what destroys the hope O.
youth and damns the usefulness O
mature men,"

AnAcostia and Vicinity.

In connection with the work on the new
Anacostia bridge across the Eastern branch,
six of the concrete piers are practically
completed. and preparations are being made
to place the iron work in position at the
earliest practicable date. Workmen are
now engaged in erecting in the river be-
tween each pier frame platforms to per-
nit of the sections of iron beams being swung
to the best advantage from pier to pier. The
Anacostia and Potomac River Railroad
Company has commenced to effect some
changes in it's tracks along 18th street

Columbia.

The temperance of Mr. Robert Lorraine
In Bernard Shaw's sparkling comedy, Man
and Superman," at the Columbia Theater
last evening, was witnessed by an unusually
large and brilliant audience for second
engagement. The clever young English
star is supported by the same well-balanced
company that appeared with him here last
spring, and the performance last night
proved that, like wine, the players have inn
proved with time.
AS John Tanner, the man Of advanced
ideas, Mr.. Lorraine gives a most satisfac-
tory exemplification of the literary man of
Shaw's fancy, who inveighs against the
social customs of the day, but finally yields
to all of them. Mr.. Lorraine showed thor
ough comprehension of the role and gave
to the character a personality both convinc-
ing and pleasing.
The plot of the comedy reveals a game or
love in which woman and not man is the
dominate element, and the denouement
makes the hero fall victim to the feminine
wiles which he had so valiantly denounced.
The play bristleS with the cynical opinions
of Shaw. 1t is audacous and beWiidering,
yet captivating.
Mr. Lorraine was admirably supported by
a cast of players whose physical attributes
and thorough sympathy with their respec-
tive roles contributed much to the finish
and evenness of the performance. MISS
Bijou Fernandez won approval as Ann
Whitehead Mr.. Louis Massen as Roebuck
Ramsden was excellent, and Miss Nellie
Thorne's Violet was a charming piece of
work The play is beautifully staged.

THE TIL EAT E R.
New National.

The subject with which THE Hypo-
critics. deals has often been used before in
the drama, but usually in a far more deli
cate and inferential manner. The mis-
fortunes of a curate condemned by his pa
irons for befriending a misguided girl are
interesting. and constitute legitimate and
dignified study; but the manner of pre-
senting certain portions of the plot is so
blunt and the dialogue SO insistently I'M
unpleasant that it Is impossible to COM
mend the play as a popular diversion. The
story is wrought out with masterful &C.
curacy. The web of circumstances is
woven about the various characters in
manner that permits no escape. AS to con-
sstency of plot there can be no question,
but 1t Is doubtful whether even the mature
and analytical mind can find much profit in
the thought it follows out. The characters
are not American types, and the phase Of
English society which it SO blackly repre-
sented has no particular interest.
The performance is an excellent one, the
various roles being assumed by players of
exceptional intelligence and skill.

ChaSe'S.

Featured in the program at Chase's this
week is a playlet by George AIDE, notable
principally by reason Of the total absence
of slang 1t is entitled ''Marse Covington,"
and is interpreted by company of conpe-
tent character delineatOrs, with Edward Con-
nelly at the head of the cast. The sketch
deals with a member of one of the first
families of Virginia, who, though reduced
to poverty, maintains his dignity and pride,
and the devotion of a former slave of
the family Villa Holt Wakefield last even
ing proved herself an unusually clever en-
tertainer, presenting what she terms song
readings to her own accompaniment on
the piano. She was rewarded with 1ong-con-
tnued applause. Hal Merritt, contributing
an Illustrated monologue, won favor with
the audience his work with the crayon
and his talk being above the average.
Tom Edwards, announced as an English
genius, gave an exhibition of ventriloquism,
his voice simulations including many nov
elites The Spook Ministries, the Aribos,
German athlets, and Fitzgerald and Gilday,
comedians, round out the bill.

Singing Society of Vienna Coming te
This City.

Members of the German singing societies
of this city are anticipating with pleasure
the expected appearance here, May 6, of the
Wiener Maennergesangverein, the mems
singing society of Vienna. The visitors are
to sing before President Roosevelt. The
local German singing societies are max
ing great preparations for the entertain
ment of the Austrian guests during the

The Wiener ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS has a
membership of between six and seven hun
dred and its chorus is world renowned. 1t
has appeared before all the crowned heads
of Europe. and now it is coming to America
to sing before the President as a mark of
the esteem of the singers for him. 1t will
be the first time it has given recital in
America.
The Vienna singers are nearly all wealthy
men, and fer the visit to this country the6
have chartered the steamer Oceana of the
Hamburg American line for the round trip,
and a special train for the trip from New
York to this city and return. 1t is esti-
mated that the total cost of the trip to the
singers will be about $4,000.
The singers are to leave Vienna April 20,
and expect 10 arrive in New York May ..
They will at once board special train for
this city. and will sing in the east room of
the White House May al 2:3O o'clock pm.
before the President and invited guests.
While in this city the visitors will be the
guests of the Washington Saengerbund,
Central Nercin, the German Maennerchor
and the Arion singing societies, and the
few hours they will be here will be devoted
TO dining and sightseeing. The visitors are
to return to New York the evening of May
q. as they are booked to give a concert there
the next day. While in New York they will
be the guests of the DeutSche LeiderkranZ.
Felix kraemer, the business manager of
the Vienna chorus, who arrived in Washing
ton last week, has been in consultation with
the officials of the Austrian embassy and
the board of directors of the Saengerbund,
and has completed arrangements for the
appearance of the singers at the White
House
Charles S. Francis, the American ambas-
sador at Vienna, was largely instrumental
in arranging for the visit of the singers to
Washington.
MI. George w. Speir is the chairman of
the joint committee of the local organZa-
tiong which is TO receive and entertain the
visitors. Exactly how long the singers will
remain in America is not known, but it is
stated that visits viii be maze to Philadel-
phia. Baltimore and other cities before they
start for Vienna.

Hard-shell crabs on sale by dealers at
the fish wharf for the past ten weeks have
been very scarce for week or more, due
to heavy northwest gales on Chesapeake
bay. In consequence of the scarcity prices
are high, with only fair demand.
Five years ago there was a regular crab
season in this city, and it was only in
certain months that they could be OBJ
tanned. Now they are on sale practically
all the year around when Chesapeake bay
and it's tributaries are open. During the
winter the crabs bury themselves in the
mud at the bottom of the rivers and bays.
But they are not allowed to sleep, for as
soon the ice will allow the crabs are
dredged from the mud by the thousand and
are sent to this and other markets. When
they reach here they are to all appear
ance dead, but when placed in a moder-
ately warmed room for an hour or two, re-
vive and are as lively those brought
here in midsummer.
The crabs now on the market are from
the vicinity of Old Point, and up to this
time there have been no Potomac crabs in
the market. Some few soft-shell crabs are
coming to market, but it will be about
month before the "soft-shelI' season is on.
