BuSTER BROWN

Announced for the Grand shortl,
We are to have Buster Brown, the
musical comedy sIkit, based on 4. F.
Outcault's famous cartoons of the
hopeful scion of the Brown family.
Incidentally it might be remarked
that this IS the only authentic and
authorized version of Buster Brown
Success always breeds imitation ana
Buster Brown has suffered the past
of theatric popularity in the shape of
numerous pirates who have sought
to delude the public with garoled
plays using a title: somewhat similar
to the original But Mr.. Outcault's
boy Buster is sturdy littlec hap and
he has withstood all such attempts
to purloin his place in the affections
of discriminating public. This
season the name part of the play is
done by Master Rosen, miniature
comedian of much merit. The play
is offered with all new scenery and
costumes while all of the music and
songs are entirely new, popular and
upt OF date.

IMMIGRATION INDICTMENT

| A Delta planter has laid before J.
t Savage of Jackson, president OF
the Mississippi immigration league,
proposition to give ten acres OF
Delta land to prospective white sett-
lers in that section. The proposal,
as set Forth by Jackson correspon-
| dent to the Vicksburg Herald, is as
follows:
'As an inducement to bona fde
settlers this planter states that he
has 5000 acres of unimproved land
located within one mile of the Y. &
NJ V. and Southern railway, pur-
chased by him in 1882. and I,2oo
acres of the tract cost SIS an acre.
He offers to give ten acres of this
land in each quarter section of bona
hde white settlers who will make
their homes for themselves thereon
making a warranted deed to each
tract at the expiration of FIVE years,
or whenever the ten acres is cleared,
a home built thereon and the neces-
sary outbuildinys erected.
"As a further inducement this
planter states that he will also give
settlers options on adjoining tewnty
or thirty acre tracts at thirty dollars
per acre, the land being worth fully
that DilCc at present, 10 De pdlG IOI
one-fourth cash and the balance in
one, two and three years. He states
that his sole purpose is to induce
white settlers to locate in that sec
ton who will engage in intensified
farming
This IS about the most remarkably
liberal proposition that it has even
been our fortune to run across Del
land cleared and Ci11tIua ted
practically out of the market 1t is
not for sale; or if for sale at all, is
out of the reach of any but the long
est purses. The Delta planter who
offers to give it away is either the
most extraordinary example of public
spirit on record, or he is determined,
like Andrew Carnegie, not to die
rich. Nothing like it has ever been
heard of since the darkeys heard that
Marse L1nkum was going to give
them forty acres and a mule

The trial of James A. Strotfer for
the killing of William F. Bywzters
in Virginia involves an extreme YER
sion of the "unwritten law. Bywa-
tiers had seduced StIother's sister.
had married her under coercion and
was killed while trying to escape
from the house after the wedding.
In the usual Interpretation of the
"unwritten law" in the South man
who, to save his own life, marries a
girl whom he has wronged goes free
of vengeance unless some fresh of
Tense is offered Frequently indeed
the wife's relatives drive him out of
town. They want his name as pr,
lection for his victims reputation in
the community, but they do not want
him. No woman, it is fairly assum-
ed, can live happily with a man held
to her side by fear and force
What, then, is the "unwritten law
if in one case an unwilling bride
groom is kicked out of the house inn
rnediately after the ceremony and in
another similar case is killed if he
tries to jump through the window.
Plainly the "unwritten law" needs
codifying. 1t is too ague Can a
man in New York issue a private
indeterminate sentence and kill an.
other after five years? Can a man in
Virginia kill his sisters husband
merely for attempted desertion? Yet
if private vengeance is defined. en-
acted, codihed. it ceases to be .sun-
written" Is there really any law,
and should there be, except the Law?

TRIP AROUND THE WORLD,
Story of Journey Aboard Tiny sloop
Told by Capt. Slocum.

Capt. Joshua Slocum, the veteran sailor
and the only man who ever made voyage
around the world alone with not even a cat
to keep him company, told the story Of his
three years of adventure aboard his little
sloop-yawl Spray to an interested gathering
in the assembly room of the Y. M. c. A.
building last night. Capt. Slocum told his
story with modesty, giving himself but lit
tie credit for the iron nerve that enabled
him to accomplish so much.
Introducing his story with an account
OF his early training as a sailor and of his
voyages, he gave account of the build
ing of the Sloop Spray and of his determi-
nation to go around the world aboard the
craft. He took his audience figuratively
aboard the Spray as she sailed out of Bos-
ton harbor, April "a. 1893, and carried them
across the Atlantic to Gibraltar, and gave
description of the hospitable manner in
which he was received by the English naval
officers there.
1t had been his purpose, he said, to make
the voyage by way of the Suez canal, but
the coast pirates in the Mediterranean and
Red sea caused him to change his course
for Brazil and passed down the South
American coast to the straits of Magellan.
His adventures with storms and savages
in the straits were Interestingly described,
and from there the captain carried his hear
ers to Juan Fernandez. the island Of Robin
son Crusoe. The Hawaiian islands were
next visited and then on to Australia and
around the Cape of Good Hope to Boston,
where he arrived in June, 1898.
Throughout the lecture Capt Slocum in
terested his audience with little anecdotes
of his method of living the long and
lonesome voyage. For weeks at time, he
said, the Spray kept on her course with
wheel dashed. while the solitary mariner
aboard her read or occupied his time as
best pleased him. This. Capt. Slocum said.
was the only way a man could sail around
the world without losing his mind.
The lecture was illustrated with lantern
slides, many of which were Photographic
views taken by himself on the long voyage.
At the conclusion of the lecture Capt. Slo-
cum held an informal reception. and he was
kept busy for some time shaking hands
with those who had heard his talk.
The sloop Spray in which the wonderful
voyage was made. is quartered in the dock
at the foot Of 9th street southwest. The
cabin of the sloop is filled with mementos
of many voyages and the captain has many
visitors there. He will sail for Boston
aboard the Spray in few days.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Perhaps It was the influence Of the
weather and the dull atmosphere Of rainy
day that made the trading at today's meet
ing of the stock exchange so lifeless and
slight in volume. Whatever the cause. the
fact remains. While there were no sellers
there were also no buyers.
The list of stock securities were called
without much interruption and 1t would
have been possible to have made a record
in getting through with the call If there
had been any motive to do SO. The Satur-
day half holiday when the weather is un-
favorable for outdoor recreations is not
busy day with men engaged in the line
of business of most of the members of the
exchange.
Those who are members of the Bankers
Association, or at least a large proportion
of them, have either arranged to attend
the annual meeting, which will be held
this evening at the Blue Ridge Rod and
Gun Club, near Harpers Ferry, to send
a representative. 1t is expected in spite of
the unreasonable temperature the attend
ance will be a good one The members will
be the guests of the president of the asso-
citation, Mr.. c. F. Norment, during their
stay at the club house.
Capital Traction fives continued their up
ward course today, and some sold for no.
and the bid was 1905, as compared with
the bid yesterday of 1854.
Inc supply OF gas STOCK at OF Was greater
than the demand. One of the brokers
bought a couple of lots at that price. and
then he wanted no more, and that ended
the market for the stock on that level
The bid for 1t was an eighth of point less
but no further trading was attempted. until
after call, when a couple more lots were
taken at "a, and also some fractional lois.
According to the notice sent to the stock
holders of the Washington Railway ana
Electric Company by the voting trustees
on and after today the stock trust certiti-
Gates will be exchanged for stock certif-
Gates upon presentation of the former at
the transfer Office in Jersey City.
No time limit Is placed upon the period
of transfer and 1t. therefore. remains en-
tirely optional with the stockholders when
they shall make the exchange Of certificates:
There is no voting right except for stock
holders of record, but as there will be no
occasion, as far as known. for it's exercise
until the annual meeting, which will be
held next January, 1t is supposed by some
that the exchange authorized at this time
will not proceed with rapidly.
